How did the dead dwarves react to Kili and Tauriel during The Hobbit? I mean Kili wasn’t even trying to be subtle about how he felt. Did any of them pass it off as a silly crush? Throw a fit like Thorin did over Gimli and Legolas? Also I just want to say Sansukh is probably one of my fav fanfics ever, thank you so much for writing suck a masterpiece

With a mixture of spluttering and rolled eyes, generally.

There were a great many more pressing things happening at the time Thror spent an entire three hours swearing at Thranduil and never repeated himself once. it is a feat that has garnered him some very impressed (and worried) looks.

Awwwww, thank you so much for reading it! *hugs the lovely nonnie*

Quick question, in Sansukh how do Fili and Kili feel about Frodo? We all know how popular Sam is with the dwarves, but I’ve been wondering how they are reacting emotionally while watching Frodo struggle as the ring bearer. Do they recognize that the power of the ring is affecting his mind(considering that they saw Thorin go through a sort of similar experience with the gold sickness)?

They feel a huge amount of pity and care and sympathy for Frodo – and they ALSO think he is probably changing into the strongest person they have ever seen. 

When Frodo first volunteers to take the Ring, Kili is basically flapping madly and going “AHH SO LITTLE AND BRAVE AHH”.

Fili is our POV character for the vast amount of their scenes, and he is slightly awed by Frodo’s endurance and strength and forbearance. He is also amazed at how a simple Hobbit is growing into something beyond what he was, through this mammoth act of will. 

They definitely recognise the effects of the Ring. Oh my goodness, yes. Both of them. That’s not a thing you can ignore (particularly with Gollum right there for comparison).

SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 35!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody cries over Dain BUT WHAT OF BOMBUR????!!! My poor heart ! I loved that Dwarf ! And poor Bifur who had to watch this ! And Bofur who couldn’t see his younger brother (who was supposed to be SAFE INSIDE THAT MOUNTAIN DAMMIT!) one last time ! You killed me ! My darlings from the -Ur family, I am with you !

Oh, there was PLENTY of outrage over Bombur, let me assure you! I just didn’t post those messages yesterday (bc spoilers). Everybody knew Dain’s end was on the cards, after all!

ALSO – SORRY.

So in Sansukh Kili’s continued lack of beard has been mentioned and I started wondering, does everyone’s hair stop growing in Mahal’s Hall? But what if someone accidentally burns off a chunk of hair in the forge or something? Do they forever have a bald spot or does it grow back to normal and then stop again or do they need to ask Mahal to fix it for them?? Plz this question has been plaguing me since I read Sansukh

Ahhh! 

Well, life in the Halls is not TRUE life. Everyone is sort of… paused. They’re all on hold until the Second Song, when the world is renewed. 

So, their bodies remain static, frozen, suspended. They are real bodies, so they need food and rest and warmth, they can be harmed and will heal, but they won’t really.. change. 

This is why Frerin is stuck as an adolescent. Poor little mite.
