It’s highly likely that this has already been asked, but since Jeri’s beard is green due the whole non-binary dwarves are allowed to be hella rad; how does totally canon BLUE bearded Dwalin… adefhsdgis sudfij???. Non-binary Dwalin is a thing right?!

Hey Nonnie – I’m not writing him as such, but that IS where the inspiration was ganked from! And why not – it’s perfectly possible that a blue-dyed beard signifies agender, and Dwalin goes by he/him/his because he likes ‘em. 

I have two questions on Durin (and on the Seven Fathers in general): 1) if Dwarves fall in love only once, then how is it that Durin has had presumably at least six wives? Do they get jealous? Or is Durin’s wife reborn too? 2) do awkward family reunions ever happen, where one of Durin’s children is like “OMG that’s that super badass king who is my great-great-great-great-granfather but also my brother from my dad’s prevoius life”?

*stares at ask in dismay* urrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

idk. This isn’t worked out or anything, Nonnie, this is me just thinking aloud… 

I like to think that Durin has loved every single one, but in a variety of ways. Perhaps one partner was more like a best friend and it was a platonic relationship. Perhaps one partner was ace, but wanted kids. Perhaps one partnership was an arranged and/or political marriage. Perhaps Durin is the most poly of poly Dwarves to ever poly. There’s a whole plethora of possibilities. I am absolutely sure, though, that Durin themself would have been very honest and up-front with a potential partner – and would consider it nobody else’s business. And of course, Durin can simply do that ineffable disappearing act when others get too nosy… mysterious bugger! 

LOLOL, Durin’s own family reunions must be a thing of Maximum Awkwardness. 

dyt laerophen is going to watch gimizh go through his emo phase

HAHAHAHA oh gosh, oh dear!

But now I’m remembering that Elves now and again wear paints, in Sansukh. Legolas mentioned it in Lothlorien, from memory… if you suspect this was a response to Eyeliner Legolas in The Hobbit… you would absolutely be right, lol. 

So, I’m imagining Laerophen showing Gimli how to apply black eyeliner. And it is a very cute image. Elf and Dwarf both staring intently into a mirror, pulling the extraordinary faces you have to pull (idk, I always do) when putting makeup on. 

😀

All the Durin kids getting together and practicing their glowers. Wee Thorin usually wins. Frerinith is usually too giggly.

Wee Thorin would DEFINITELY win. His scowl is a thing of epic grandeur. Grown Dwarves have been known to take a step back from it.

Balinith is an expert at the flat, level, unimpressed, ‘I am going to ignore the drivel pouring from your mouth’ stare.

Frerinith would certainly try, but would absolutely end up giggling. When Frerinith gets mad he gets all pouty and red-faced and crumply. He is a master of the “massive-indrawn-breath… HOLLER WITH INDIGNATION” art-form.

Gimizh can scowl. It’s not bad. But it’s nowhere near on the level of his friend. The thing to watch out for with Gimizh is sad puppy eyes. They are devastating (and he knows it, the lil shit hahaha).
