I’m going to (sort of) echo another commentator: as a Jewish person, the parallels with dwarves are so, so, so obvious, and it does bother me sometimes–I try not to let it too much, but it does–when fanfic authors don’t pick up on that. (Everyone’s interpretation is valid right? But when they don’t even notice, I’m sort of like, hello? how do you seriously not see this?) So I was really glad you did, and that you dealt with it so well. It’s just another thing I love about Sansûkh.

*hugs* I’m really glad. I COMPLETELY agree that the parallels are blazingly, staggeringly obvious! And I’m beyond glad that you’re satisfied with how I dealt with it, and oh gosh asdgfljash thank you SO SO much!

Hi there @callalillyg! I would LOVE to chat further on this, absolutely! Under the cut:

Hi @determamfidd, i just sent you an ask personally but just to reiterate, I am NOT at all mad or upset, I do not feel attacked by you in anyway. I’m just very impressed. You did a great job capturing awful people like Inorna can truly be. I suppose i’m very protective of people who reflect my own struggle. 

I don’t feel like any wounds were opened, actually i felt very happy that someone as horrible as the people that i have dealt with IRL died the way they did, anticlimactic, nothing grand, it felt fitting. I love your writing and would love to share some of my personal head canons

Keep reading

I am SO grateful – and thank you again for your message!! I am very honoured that you feel I have portrayed the anti-semitism your people face with accuracy. And I’m DOUBLY glad I chose to end it in such a way – an ignoble, mean, pathetic and petty end for an ignoble, mean, pathetic and petty view. Squashed like the bug it is. I’m glad it helped – really really glad. *hugs*

Your personal headcanons sound amazing. AMAZING. I would be utterly thrilled to hear more, particularly about your ideas for the Southern Dwarves and the cultural divide there! Seriously and honestly, reading your insights and your concepts made me gasp and reach for my notebook!! 

I have a few questions about aelir(?) if that’s ok? In another ask i think u said smthg about a courting gift? was that the white gems of las galen? What was her courting thranduil like?? What does her crown look like?? + how does she feel about thranduils elk? Lol Does she have an elk too? Srry there’s a lot. ur a great writer <3 thx xx

hey Nonnie! lmao whoa – sure thing!

Yup, Aelir, that’s right! And yes – I have the white gems as a courting gift, from Thranduil. The only jewellery she wore. 

Heh, she was the one to pursue him. She decided to climb that tall, stiff, proud dude with the pretty hair – wait for it – yes, like a tree. :))))

Aelir was the one who began the crowns woven from the olvar: she wasn’t much into heavy golden things, and bleh to those flimsy little circlets that the rest of the Elves wear, frankly. So she was out in her woods one day and had an odd thought, and immediately put it into practice. She took some branches and wove her own, decorating it with the summer fruits and flowers. It was so beautiful that Thranduil went ‘RIGHT YES PERFECT’ and wore one for every season since.

He makes his own these days.

LMAO, she’s cool with the Elk (though it has been a succession of elks, really)! Doesn’t have her own: she likes to glide and race through the forests on her own, clinging to branches with her hands, touching the leaf-litter with her bare feet. 

Thranduil suspected that the elk(s) and Aelir gossiped about him, but could never prove it.

(AHHH THANK YOU!!)
