Who became Lord of the Iron Hills after Dain and Stonehelm became King/Prince of Erebor?

There’s actually nothing to suggest that the Iron Hills were even kept as a settlement after the reclamation of Erebor, Nonnie. It’s a bit sad tbh.

I like to think that there were a few hardy dwarves who, like Dain, loved that rugged wild place so much that they stayed there anyway. Perhaps there was a steward or the like. 

About that headcanon a while ago about the Durin Line being cuddlers – Gimli has totally inherited it. Specifically, he always ends up hugging whomever is asleep closest to him and doesn’t let go. Gandalf is the only one of the Fellowship who didn’t wake up at least once with a Dwarf snoring in his ear at least once before they even reached Moria, with various reactions about it

That… is so cute. Seriously.

Pippin: loves it. So much. Snuggling is nice, what? Also, the Dwarf seems to be twice as warm as any hobbit, so he’s never chilly when Gimli decides to use him for a cuddle-toy.

Merry: a wriggler. Gimli ends up wrapping thick arms around him just to get him to stay still. 

Boromir: bemused. At first, he thought it was just the normal sleep-back-to-back thing he has done on countless operations… and then Gimli goes the cuddle. It’s not… bad. He hasn’t really been hugged like that since Faramir was young.

Frodo: …huh. So that’s what Bilbo was on about. 

Sam: What a racket! Could give the Gaffer a run for his money in the snoring department – and that’s after a bellyful of his home brew, too! 

Legolas: ewwwwwwwwww he smells nice though EWWWWWW he smells like woodsmoke and earth and leather and honest sweat and EWWWWWWWW he has such thick arms EW EW EW EW EW and no I am not shifting uncomfortably shut up Aragorn

Aragorn: *headdesking all the way to Gondor*

Sansukh headcanon: Kili, after he sees/hears about Tauriel’s death, keeps it quietly to himself, not wanting to endure the pain of her loss coupled with the disapproval of his family. That’s why nobody understands why he spends the next month or so wandering through the tombs, where the dead awake in the Halls. “Nobody has died recently” they tell him, and are relieve when he finally stops his seemingly aimless searching.

OH YEOUCH NONNIE. 

Dets, I just want to thank you for ace!Balin, and particularly the fact that he had a relationship not work out because of it. It’s something I’ve been through and it’s no fun, but I love that Balin felt no need to compromise himself, and that he’s so clear on what he needs and wants in that scene with Náli. It means a lot to see an ace character have the experience of their aceness being an issue, but still accepting themselves. Thank you <3

Ah, Nonnie  I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. I am wishing you everything wonderful in the world. *hugs* And I am super-glad that Balin means so much to you – that’s so important to me, and I am really thrilled to hear it.
