I’M SCREAMING

OH MY GODDDD

THEY’RE PERFECT, YOU’RE PERFECT

YOU INCREDIBLE PEOPLE, YOU INCREDIBLE DWARVES

💗 and Gimli! I am totally in love with your sense of humour, btw <333

incorrecttolkienquotes:

(forgive me as I freak out that you turned up in my inbox OKAY)

You are so ridiculously talented. You’re creative, and funny, and smart, and you united the fandom in a way I never could have imagined – you’ve done so much and it’s so cool and you’re so nice to people and so willing to share your badass ideas and creations and just

never stop being you.

“‘Go on a Quest,’ they said. ‘It’ll be easy,’ they said. ‘Nothing to worry about, Gimli, if you can put up with the elf for long enough you might even get to go back home,’ they said. And like an idiot I listened to them, and guess what? They were wrong about absolutely everything, and now here I am stuck on the back of a damned horse and the stupid elf driving it wants to go into the fucking Murder Forest!” – Gimli, to himself, The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, shortly before camping outside of Fangorn

(OH MY GOD I AM SO RED AND FLUSTERED AND HAPPY RN SERIOUSLY I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW YOU KNEW I EXISTED AND YOU ARE SO CLEVER AND FUNNY AND KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT TOLKIEN’S WORLD AND I AM SUCH A HOBBYIST IN COMPARISON AND AAAAAAH..!)

also that is the Gimli-est thing that has ever been written, lmaaaaaaaao ‘murder forest’, fucking elves.

I… yeah, I take no responsibility when my brain produces verse.

Inspired by @determamfidd‘s Sansukh – chapter 42.

The letters with the news of love were sent

From Gondor’s battlefields, up to the North

Where valour held the orcish armies back,

And dwarves and elves alike did muster forth.

Most caref’ly crafted were these missives writ,

The word to break – to dull the hammer blow.

Long thought they spent upon them – then dispatched,

Them to their families – those recent foes.

Alas that fortune ever plays such jokes,

And placed these families both upon one ground

When they received the news – and then, once more,

Was battle seen anew within that mound.

O careless lovers – well-intentioned fools!

Send letters – yes! – but add a lot of booze!

FEE OH MY GOD, THE BARD OF THE COMPANY YOU ARE

I AM HOWLING I GOTTA RECORD THIS, IT’S BRILLIANT!!! *hugs and hugs and hugs* THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

(Baased on a True Story) Once Gimizh got into Gimris’ coffee. And of course this wasn’t some really light everyday coffee, this is “9 pm and I have to go to an unexpected medical emergency” coffee, brewed with faaaar too many beans per the amount of water, no cream, and half the sugar bowl tossed in for good measure. Gimizh was still awake – and twitching – when Gimris got back late the next morning, having delivered a baby who was Not Supposed to Arrive then.

omfg Nonnie, dear lord that would have been… an experience. In fact, it sounds like it would have been several Experiences put together. O.O 

GIMIZH ON ROCKET-FUEL COFFEE SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING THOUGH

So… question… if I made you a dwarfy quilt, would you want it? I don’t want to reveal myself until I’ve actually got all the stuff to make a thing… but I found a line of batik fabrics named after stone and metal and the urge is strong…

UM. YES. VERY YES. 

Oh my god, thank you, thank you so SO much! I couldn’t possibly accept such a gift without giving you some money or something else you would like in return, though!!! 

*MUFFLED SCREAMING*
