I’m yelping and flapping at the screen in front of my family here – alsjdhfgasjh thank you SO much!!!

Like full on whimpered-while-crying crying. It was terrible and it’s a good thing I have my own room and a box of tissues next to my bed. 😉 Sansukh is one of my favorite fics ever and, once it’s finished, I will definitely be downloading the epub so I can read it on my Kindle apps.

Your writing and just you in general are such a joy, I’m so glad I took a chance on reading Sansukh as a WIP. Keeping up with you as the story is written feels like its own special journey and I’m so glad I’m here to walk the road with you.

oh my gosh. 

I’m clutching my face. I’m re-typing every line here, bc crying a bit.

Thank you for travelling it with me, friend. 

Gimizh-art on the walls of Gloin and Mizim’s house! Also probably on the walls at his parents’ house and at Gimli’s (does Gimli still live at home?). There is a clear progression in the quality of the pictures – some are toddler scribbles, and the later ones show increased fine motor skills, imagination, etc. His color schemes and choice of subjects is still … questionable sometimes. Though Gimli features in a lot of the art.

Gimli does indeed live at home. He’s got a couple of rooms to himself, but they are within the family apartments. I feel that in a society where you have to carve rooms out of a mountain, it would make more sense for families to stick together a lot! Gimris and Bofur have their own rooms, though. 

Moving out at adulthood is a pretty recent Western conceit, and I like to think that Dwarves like to stick close to family. 😀

Gimizh’s pictures are pretty indecipherable at times! His imagination goes at the kind of throttle that his hand can’t quite match!

Dwalin being welcoming? But he does have his own stuff to deal with. Heh, Mother Dori. Bofur wants to see Gimli get beat up by his sister, lol. Dain wants popcorn, I think. And Frerin too. Gimris goes from shouting about his stupid to nagging on his health in 0 seconds flat! Oh, Dori. And Laerophen has no tact, and the tension rockets to outer space once again. *facepalm* A lovers spat, and they tease and forget everything else around them. Uh-oh, Laindawar might actually start growing! (1/2)

Jeri is very people smart. Bofur says: when there’s tension, ale for all! Mama’s boy, isn’t he? Once Gimizh figures out how to wrangle his other uncle, nowhere in Erebor will be safe. Gloin, stop picking a fight already, you’ve lost, Mizim’s decided. BARIS AND BANI?! Finally! Oh Dis, let yourself remember their love for you. Thorin you lump. Dis, sweetheart, you were never alone, they didn’t allow it. Bilbo, oh dear Bilbo. Officially speechless from the music. And so is everyone else. (2/2)


I am just sitting here re-reading this and grinning like a loon. 

Thank you, thank you SO SO much!!!

Should’ve seen this one coming too, should’ve remembered Glóin won’t let stuff like this go

Also Mizim is the sweetest mum ever 💖

Mizim HATES pretense. Hates it – there was no way she was ever going to put up with distant and awkward politeness BECAUSE DAMMIT HE’S FAMILY NOW

also yep, Gloin is a grumbly bear who enjoys his grudge a bit too much 🙂
