Sooooo does it count as canon that sindarin elves wear boots with pointy toes like santa’s elves (regarding: tolkien’s drawing of beleg)

omfg, please please let it be so 

(CELEBORN, THRANDUIL AND LEGOLAS WITH WEE WILLIE WINKIE SHOES, pls and thank)

The painting in question, for those who haven’t seen it – Beleg finds Gwindor in the forest of Taur-nu-Fuin, by JRR Tolkien. 

And here’s a close-up of Beleg:

Those shoes are p fierce. 

Sorry if you’ve answered this somewhere, but is there a reason Gimizh is an only child? Like did Gimrís and Bofur look at their little terror and mutually decide “no more” or is that just how things worked out for them?

No worries, Nonnie! Happy to help!

Here’s the answer, written aaaaaall the way back when. 

The side-fic I am referring to in that answer is ‘Cry Uncle’ btw. I should warn for discussion of childbirth as well as SADNESS GALORE for this fic – but it does include some cute Gimizh, and Gimli and Gimris being loving/bickering siblings, teeny Fili as a Total Sweetiepie, and Gimli as Uncle Extraordinaire 😀

Headcanon question: which of his kin might Gimli choose to rule Aglarond after he and Legolas sail?

Hi Nonnie!

Welp, that’s SORT of been answered… obliquely, anyway. Check out this snippet from Gimris’ bio:

Gimrís is a journeyman glassblower and a master healer who trained under the direction of her uncle Óin. She married Bofur son of Bomfur, and bore one child: a son, Gimizh. In her old age, her brother handed over the lordship of the Glittering Caves of Helm’s Deep (Sindarin: Aglarond, Rohirrim: Súthburg) to Gimrís and her line. 

So yeah. Um. Gimizh Cookie-Thief, Lord of the Glittering Caves, is a Thing. I’ve even given a little detail on how that’s all going to pan out!

(Bofur is still sort of ‘WAIT WHAT, but I’m just a common Broadbeam miner??? HOW.’ about the whole thing, lmao)

If you could change (or delete) just ONE sentence in all of Lord of the Rings and/or The Hobbit, what would it be, and why? (And if you change it, what would you change it to?)

AUGHAGSKJAHSFGJHGA so DIFFICULT

um.

Okay, I had a good think about this. My first inclination was to change something plot-wise (BOROMIR LIVES, THORIN LIVES, DENETHOR DROPS THE PALANTIR DOWN THE LAVVY EARLY IN THE TALE AND SO ALL THAT SHIT NEVER GOES DOWN, etc etc). But then I remembered something in particular.

So here it is, the line I would change. From ‘Battle of the Pelennor Fields’.

He now was destroyed; but Gothmog the lieutenant
of Morgul had flung them into the fray; Easterlings with axes,
and Variags of Khand, Southrons in scarlet, and out of Far
Harad black men like half-trolls with white eyes and red
tongues.

TBH, this is only one example of violent and derogatory description towards POC in the books. It’s far from the only one. And I would change that. I’d change all of them, if I were able.

I would turn it into this:

He now was destroyed; but Gothmog the lieutenant of Morgul had flung them into the fray; Easterlings with axes, and Variags of Khand, Southrons in scarlet, and out of Far Harad black men came with bright eyes and proud steps. 

Because we must be better than that, Professor.
