May I ask a question? Are any of the dwarrowdams more…fuller figured? Back in October, I was seriously considering getting a dress pattern and fabric to see about dressing up as on of the dwarrowdams from Sansukh for Halloween (yes I dress up to hand out candy, I’m a nerd like that), but I didn’t because I thought I’d be too heavy to pull it off. I ended up being Lily Munster, so I don’t know why I hesitated so much about the dwarrowdams, tbh, it just would’ve felt wrong somehow.

YES. THEY ARE. ALL OF THEM ARE. 

I don’t really jive with any depiction of Dwarves as skinny, Nonnie. All of my girls are fuller-figured. 

They have different variations and placements of fat and muscle, of course: but they’re all solid and thickset. Here’s a quick list for you, detaling some of them as I’ve come to see them, and I hope it makes you smile! I dearly hope you cosplay a Dwarf lady. I think you would be wonderful. Really wonderful. 

– Hrera (A PROPERLY PLUMP BROADBEAM TUMMY, CHUNKY LEGS AND ANKLES, medium bosom, rolls and dimples at her wrists)
– Baris (Tummy, big bosom AND thick thighs. Soft arms just right for cuddling. Also, you ever seen a professional opera singer’s ribcage and torso? SHE BUILT.)
– Alris (SUPER STRONG ARMS, hella big hips and bum, small bosom – this lady is definitely gifted in the caboose area)
– Bomfris (a lovely Broadbeam tummy, muscled arms from archery, very broad shoulders and back, short legs)

– Fris (shortest of my girls. she has a big-hipped pear-bottom with cute pinch-rolls of skin high upon her back, and thick, soft padded arms.)

– Mizim (a famous beauty, she has a clear double chin, a sweet soft tummy, delicious thick thighs that kiss and spill against each other, abundant silvery hair)
– Orla (MASSIVE BOSOM. Like, HUGE. MASSIVELY STRONG ARMS, barrel-waisted, heavy-muscled thighs and calves, A BIG LASS)
– Dis (STRETCH. MARKS. Loose skin over her belly. Arms that have lost muscle mass for fat instead. LOOSE SKIN.)
– Gimris (this girl is a beauty like her mum! CHIN. TUMMY. LOVELY BIG LEGS. She has clearly defined shoulder-muscles from hauling around all day.) 

I really, REALLY from-the-bottom-of-my-heart hope that this has given you some confidence and some ideas, Nonnie. I believe you would be a stupendous Dwarrowdam. I truly do. 

I’m American but my spouse and in-laws are Australian and South African. And the seasons thing is just. ridiculous. I’m always sending them sweaters and wraps I make in December (because it’s cold, so I feel like knitting with bulky warm things) and a woven picnic blanket or a pair of moccasins (because loom and leather and beads are more comfortable summer crafting) in July. They’re good about it.

I feel this deep in every fibre of my soul, omg. I get woolly socks and scarves and stuff from our cousins overseas every Christmas – when it’s generally 35C in the shade

(nice ones tho! Useful for a Sydney or Melbourne winter trip, that’s for sure! tho the Dwarfling has generally grown out of them by the time she can use em, sigh)

*snrk* you’ve reminded me too, of a time aaaaages ago when I complained about it online: ‘god I’m boiling here, please freeze me like a WWII supersoldier PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD’ 

and someone was all: ‘hahaha there’s always one in shorts and a t-shirt in wintertime!!!’

and I was like… no, you misunderstand, I live upside down in Satan’s Armpit. 

so dwarves can be poly right?

well, I think they can. (tolkien would definitely disagree with me tho) 

what Prof T says is: Dwarves fall in love once, and if it isn’t reciprocated they devote their lives to their crafts. 

What Prof T doesn’t say: Whether they fall in love with one person at a time. Fall in love once – okay, gotcha – but nothing says that love must be for one individual alone. 🙂
