Aw the tags that should exist but don’t. (I’m still looking for Thorin Oakenfail. COME ON PEOPLE. He gets lost twice. He would probably get lost on his way to the bathroom if he stayed for a season in Bag End)

Aw Nonnie! Perhaps you can start that one!

(aaaaaand now somehow I am seeing Thorin and Bilbo re-enact that scene from the Simpsons… “I’m somewhere where I don’t know where I am!”

“Do you see towels? Because if you see towels, you’re in the linen cupboard.”)

I know this is a small thing but I just want to say I love the amount of detail you put into the different fighting styles. Not just of each race by also individuals. I remember one scene where Thorin is watching the Fellowship in battle and comparing Gimli’s solidness to Legolas’ unearthly quickness, and even Boromir’s practiced forms to Aragorn’s blended style and my little nerd heart cried with joy. (The part where he judged Aragorn as the best swordsman he’d ever seen didn’t hurt either.)

*blushes* AHHH thank you so much, Nonnie. You are very kind!

I like the contrast of their fighting styles, so adapted to their lives and physicalities and, yeah! I don’t know a damned thing about actual expert-level sword or axe fighting, but gosh I like to watch it. 

Nori probably writhes in curtailed lightfingered-ness whenever he gets too close to Dori’s glasses. And Dori probably acquires waaaay to many of small valuable items like the glasses, hairpins, etc (like, what he needs, spares, and then spare spares) because he was so used to Nori making off with them. And now he’s just like “oh :(“.

SIDE-SWIPED WITH UNEXPECTED RI BROS FEELS.

Oh, Dori. *hugs him* I just.

I can imagine Dori at market, buying up hair-pins and ties, and he absently collects a handful of the longer brown pins…

And gets home, and unpacks his purchases.

And presses his lips together. Hard.

(And puts the pins in the drawer with the others that he has bought over the years, on automatic, without thinking about it. The drawer is nearly full now.)

I am having giggles about our favourite Dwarves just making the most pragmatically silly presents for each other. Like, “here’s a hundred forks”.

OH BUT THAT IS SO AWESOME.

“Here we are, happy birthday.”

“Oh, thank you! Uh – it’s a wheelbarrow full of vegetables and things.”

 “Aye, It’s a cookbook. Well, cookbarrow.”

“Cook… barrow.”

“Aye! I’ve sorted it by dish, but I suppose you could sort it by colour or something if that suits you better.”

OR

“Here we go, made you some glasses because you keep losing yours.”

“…There are over three hundred here at least. And they all have my name written across the nose.”

“Aye, in bright green and yellow because I know they’re your favourite colours!”

So this is kind of personal, but lotr related. I am a nonbinary person who started with the name Samantha. That feels upsettingly feminine to me now so I am going by Sam, but my family has always called me by my full name. I am trying to pick out a new one, but there are not that many that can be shortened to Sam. I am actually considering Samwise. Is that to weird?

Nonnie, I don’t think so at all. I think it’s lovely.

Samwise is a spectacular name, for a spectacular person (and hobbit!).
