OMGG SAME I would totally date Jeri

Jeri would absolutely practice their lines in the mirror to avoid being a total gawky catastrophe on a first date, you realise

(they get overheard by Genild, who pokes her head in to make sure Jeri is all right – and tries not to die laughing as she carefully closes the door behind her. She’s not going to be able to tell Beri without cackling her head off.)

since everyone’s sharing their faves – Hrera. i have the feeling she couldve solved the whole Ring debacle in ten minutes under the right circumstances. Laerophen’s a close second for me, though

hey yeah, Laerophen!! Thanks, friend – I am glad you like him! 

(Hrera isn’t quite that badass – her brand of scolding bossiness/worry wouldn’t have worked on a Nazgul, for instance – but my word, she would have sorted Denethor out quick-smart.)

Hi Dets! I was wondering if you had any resources on dwarven culture? I am really fascinated by what you have done and since you had to do a humongous research I was wondering if I could point me in the right direction? I’d owe you so much! <3<3

Sure thing, Nonnie!

Okay, most of what we have, canonically-speaking, is from The Silmarillion, The Book of Lost Tales, The History of Middle-Earth (especially The Peoples of Middle Earth), or the appendices of LOTR, most especially the section entitled ‘Durin’s Folk’. Best to start with these!

There’s a decent summary of canonical information (as well as a resource list) at tolkiengateway.

The Dwarrow Scholar is an incredible fan-made project! The cultural aspects here are non-canonical, but they are a natural sort of extrapolation from canon. And Neo-Khuzdul is an epic achievement!

check out @askmiddlearth – really, CHECK THIS OUT, I cannot cannot cannot recommend it highly enough. There is information here on just about everything you ever dreamed of! 

There’s more, but I hope that is enough to get you started, Nonnie! Happy researching!
