When he was little, Thorin Oakenshield used to fall asleep into his plate or bowl regularly. Though never into Hrera’s dumpling soup.

AWWWWWW (that is adorbs)

I’ve been wondering, what does Mahal think of Gimli and Legolas’s relationship? And Kili and Tauriel’s?

Mahal loves his little hairy kiddies and wants them to be happy.

He also loves the other Children of Arda, and so he wouldn’t see anything wrong with a relationship between a Dwarf and anyone else.

Does Balin spend more time with his parents now that he’s dead? I mean, they both died when he was quite small.

He sure does. Fundin and Dweris both like to spend time with their clever brave son. (and Balin often gets roped in as mediator when his dad and his uncle Groin get into one of their bickering matches, lol)

Just be yourself and I’m sure you’ll blow them away! Good luck with your interview! (P.s. At work part time and at home part time is the best of both worlds but can be difficult too. When you are used to giving 100%, it can be mentally hard not to).

sdjkfagfak thank you, Nonnie! I am really nervous, but very excited. I hope I am what they are looking for!

Did you know that was seriously surprised to find out that you were Mahal? Because when I first listened to the podfic I could have sworn they caught Paul Bettany somewhere. You-as-Mahal for some reason reminded me greatly of PB-as-Vision…

Ohhhh that’s pretty cool! Haha, I normally speak quite fast and I sound SO Australian, and that really didn’t jive with how I think Mahal sounds, so I played around with metre and timing and delivery. Before they put the effects on my voice, I sounded a bit like a Galadriel/Elrond hybrid. 😀

(STILL HAVEN’T SEEN AOU – gaaaaaah it is seriously hard to get three hours alone, tbh. Will probs have to wait until it is released online, grrr)

What does your banner say? It’s a different one right?

It is – it now matches the one on the Doors of Durin. It’s still ‘speak friend and enter’ – only it is the original Mode of Beleriand tengwar used on the Doors 🙂

what im looking forward to the most in sansukh is the elessar/arwen wedding. all these dwarrows pretending they arent crying into their beards bc of some elvish nonsense

GAH

WANT

imagine legolas trying to build ikea furniture and gimli’s just filming – it’s uploaded to youtube later and half of the sound is just the cameraguy laughing

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ok im like 90% sure youve already answered something like this but what does narvi think about the blooming gigolas relationship? does she ever have to leave the gimlin-zaram when watching those two bc too many bittersweet memories? does she glare daggers at anyone who makes negative comments? also this might just be me but wouldnt she have a soft spot for kili? i bet her heart cracks a bit more each time kili comes back from mahal w/ a negative answer about visiting elves in the halls of mandos

Hey Nonnie!

Yeah, I’ve done something like this before! Here is a blurb on her thoughts on Gigolas.

Here’s a drabble on her feelings about Kili.

So I was going through old stuff and got the impression that Thorin and Dwalin have exchanged Dark-names but Thorin and Dis haven’t?

Oh, Thorin and Dis did… eventually. But it took until Ered Luin, and some semblance of stability. Dis was expecting Fili at that time, and she was clinging to her brother quite hard. There was a lot of drama going on (because of her relinquishing her place in the succession, and now expecting… what would happen to the baby?) and everyone was very tense and unhappy.

But Thorin cared for her, reassured her – was the best Big Bro ever, in essence. And she pressed her head against his and finally told him what she was made of. And he smiled and received that name with love, and gave his in return.

There were a few tears, that night.
