Gimris and Bofur totally rock Miss Piggy and Kermit the frog shirts on occasion. The one time that Orla got Dwalin into a Big Bird shirt is Never to Be Spoken of (though there are pictures).

AHHHHH

I think this gif feels appropriate 😀

GIMRIS + MISS PIGGY SHIRT = SHEER UNADULTERATED HIIIIIIIIIYAH. Also, Bofur in a Kermie shirt makes me squeal happily.

notanightlight – shout out to your awesome Muppet/The Hobbit art Statloin and Baldorf, heheheheh!

Continuation of Muppets tshirts: Balinith has a Count Von Count shirt. Frerinith has an Elmo. Wee Thorin has an Oscar the Grouch.

PERFECTION I LOVE IT

you should listen to some of Eurielle’s covers/songs for LOTR they’re absolutely breathtaking (especially Durin’s Song and Lament of Thorin)

I’ve heard them and they are utterly gooooorgeous! ~~I confess I had a little sniffle over Lament for Thorin~~

What are your headcanons about Dwarven dance forms? I always imagine a sort of loud, stompy belly dance, boots on and thundering against the dance floor, jewellery jingling, earthy and graceful and absolutely in love with gravity. Axe dancers with blades spinning (I imagine Gimli might be good at that), beards swishing over rippling bellies… but then, you might just as easily see ballroom dancing or polka. What do you picture?

Ohhh gosh, I have answered this before! Here it is, Nonnie!

(You can also check my dancing tag for more!)

TL:DR – basically, I envision Western Dwarven dancing to be a show of control, strength, virtuosity and skill. And enthusiasm! Ukrainian, Polish and Moldovian dancing is as close as I think of for a real world equivalent. Check these out – particularly THIS (start at 2:00 in) and THIS ONE HERE omg it is totally Dwarves all over. My fave is the guy who does the whole thing with a pipe in his mouth, lol.

There would be different sorts of dances: slow controlled ones, with lots of high kicks and crouching. Fast ones with heaps of stamping and jumping and Dwarves throwing themselves and each other into the air! One-upmanship competitions for the most impressive move! Who can last the longest? Loser buys the beer!

I think Broadbeams would have perfected something very like Jewish Bottle Dancing 🙂

Firebeards are renowned for Axe-dancing, a very difficult spinning dance in which axes are thrown end-over-end and caught again in a display of staggering dexterity, timing and precision (and woe betide the Dwarf who misses, lol). Haban is an expert Axe-dancer: she can spin four blades at once! Gimli’s not too bad either – he’s up to three!!

(this is tshirt anon) LOVE IT. im just imagining aragorn’s face when one of them gives him the tshirt at a christmas party and get hella turnt afterwards, since he (of course) is the designated driver. (gimli’s “i’m with stupid” shirt is amazing tho like at family gatherings he counts how many times he can make the arrow point towards thranduil without him noticing, while gloin tries his hardest not to burst out laughing)

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If Wee Thorin is Dorothy Ann, and Frerinith is Carlos, does that mean that Gimizh is Wanda?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh my gooood this is awesome.

Wee Thorin is Dorothy Ann. Or maybe Arnold.

SNRK

“important ship question: who wears the “if found, please return to [name]” shirt and who wears the “i am [name]” shirt” i’m pretty sure who would have which in bagginshield (thorin=if found, bilbo=i am) but im blanking on gigolas… what r ur thoughts?

Ooooh tricky one!

TBH, I think there’s an argument for either way. Gimli does get lost in the middle of a battle, after all! And Legolas is super happy to wander around an overgrown creeptastic forest for days on end, singing to trees.

(but I think Gimli would absolutely 300% wear the ‘I’m With Stupid ->” shirt)
