re: Gimizh and Gimris fashion shows: Gimiris won’t clean any of Gimli’s damn clothes. She raised Gimizh, and is *out of patience* for these shenanigans. Bofur literally cannot stop laughing, at least, when he’s not telling his son how fine he looks in his new clothes, and perhaps we can get Dori to take them in for you a bit, huh? They all agree on handsignals to make sure the coast is clear of *shudder* those damn Elves who don’t stop asking questions.

LMAAAAO OH GOSH HAHAHAHA

When he gets back, Gimli is like… but wait, this shirt was too big before I left…

Gimris: *innocent shrug*

I was just reminded why re-reading Sansukh is bad for my heart. Reached the point where the hobbits are asking about who makes dwarves if it’s not dwarrowdams, and Gimli’s chuckling over his plan to tell Bombur and Alris, about Alris being a craftswoman in creating dwarves. I thought ‘they’re going to love to hear that when Gimli finally gets back to the mountain’, and then I went….oh :'(

Me: *grins* heh, thank you Nonnie 🙂

*continues to read*

OH. 

OH YEAH, THAT.

OUCH OUCH THAT – OKAY YEAH OUCH WHOOPS SORRY

i was reading about lizards before i went to have a nap a while ago, and i had the coolest fucking dream that elves were really lizard like. they had really long pointy tounges and 2 sets of eyelids with lizard-like pupils it was so cool. now im imaging dwarves whose beards are actually antennae so that they can dig in the dark. also!!! elven children who cling to their parents like apes do so they can climb trees without worrying about their babies falling.

AHHHH

OH MY GOD LIL CUDDLEKOALA APE ELF BABIES

DWARVES WITH ADAPTIONS TO LIVING UNDERGROUND OMFG

I LOVE THIS

(where the HELL does everyone get such amazing dreams, and where do i sign up….????)

I love the idea of Glorfindel being so carefree and stuff like can you IMAGINE the parties Gondolin must have thrown back in the day, not like there’s much else to do when you live in a hidden city

IT WOULD. HAVE KICKED. SO MUCH ARSE. 

I am imagining Gondolin as like some giant secret speakeasy now, omg 

thank you Nonnie – the mental image of Elves wearing 1920′s and 1930′s clothing is utterly wonderful :DD

Gimris gets Gimizh and co. to visit some of her patients at the hospitals/clinics. Especially the ones who don’t get many visitors. Frerinith is especially popular because tiny kid cuddles. He

(I think your ask got cut off, Nonnie!!)

Gimizh likes the healing quarters. His mum… keeps letting him come back, god help her. Even after what happened last time. And the time before that

(gurneys are not meant to do wheelies. Bouncing on the beds ‘to test them’ is not a great idea. Also, a first step might have been making sure that the said beds were unoccupied.)

Frerinith looooves it. Lollies and sweets and cuddles and being told he is a good sweet little thing. And in grand toddler tradition, he is always extra-bossy and stubborn afterwards. NO bread. NO fruit. No! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake now, cake now!! NO bread, cake! CAKE! Mummy, CAKE!

(Orla is gritting her teeth – but keeping it low and chill and calm – and waiting for this stage to be over with bated breath. I speak from experience!)

Balinith loooves the hospital too! But he’s more of a ‘follow Gimris around and ask a zillion questions’ type – and when she shoos him away he goes around and asks the patients, and also probably reads their notes bc why put them right there if you didn’t want anyone to read them? Also the linen cupboards are fab. All the sheets are SOOOOO smooth and nice all piled up in big piles, smelling really clean.

Wee Thorin pretends he doesn’t enjoy Gimizh’s hijinks, that he’s totally only going along with it under extreme duress. That he’s not having fun at all. That he didn’t suggest one or two modifications to the gurneys himself.

This is A Lie :)))

i dont know about you, but i kinda like the idea of glorfindel being very carefree, not particularly caring about much and being very happy 24/7. the only thing he does that shows only insight into some of the things that he’s been through is that he always keeps his hair very short, and even then it’s kept close to his head in many intricate braids. no says anything about it. even if someone wishes to compliment him on it, they feel that it’s best to leave it be.

I am 90000% behind you on dun-give-a-fuck Glorfindel! I mean, sure he cares about the fate of the world and etc, but he cannot be bothered sweating the small stuff. At all. He is gonna live in the moment, and goddamn it better be a good moment. 

Oooh, I am? Sortakinda in love with the popular depiction of him as having very a luscious glorious golden mane of hair, so sorry. His name literally means ‘golden-haired’ and we’re told by Tolkien in LOTR that it was quite long. The actual lines are ‘

The rider’s cloak streamed behind him, and his hood was thrown back; his golden hair flowed shimmering in the wind of his speed.’ That’s why it is my own personal preference though – seriously, you should totally go with that idea, if you like!

I love love LOVE the idea that he would have a particular ‘tell’ concerning his past!! what a fab idea, Nonnie!

A big test for prospective royal guards: tell Gimizh and co. that Dain has a big plate of chocolate chip cookies in his private sitting room. Goal: do not let Gimizh get the cookies. (After the guards get the test, Gimizh and his friends get the cookies as a reward for services rendered). This is a surprisingly effective test.

It really would be. More than any test of fitness or weapon-skills, it would be a test of extreme cunning and lateral thinking. 

Gimizh is slippery as an eel, when he wants to be. He knows every nook in the Mountain. He can charm the socks off the birds. He can use Frerinith as a decoy. He knows nearly everybody. He can and WILL smuggle himself in somehow. 

Jeri? Jeri won that test very easily. 

Jeri asked around, and so came armed with a batch of Beri’s best spiced fruitcake.Â
