DETS. I HAVEN’T SEEN YOU ON MY DASHBOARD FOR AGES. I THOUGHT YOU’D DIED. *Concerned noise*

AWWW I am okay! But thank you Nonnie for thinking of me, you’re beautiful ❤ 

I’m unable to be as active online these days as I would like, sadly. It’s a change that has gradually intensified over time, as the Dwarfling gets older and more active. Since I’m full-time again at work, it’s just too tricky and I have to put my family and livelihood first. BUT I AM STILL HERE. I do read! I now and then check my phone through the day! I answer stuff once the small person is asleep! PROMISE, I PROMISE. 

Wait what? Just yesterday and earlier today I was going through your Gigolas & Bagginshield Fic Recs-list (mighty good choices there, found a many new fav there). Then because of my laggy browser I had to reopen it, and then all the links stopped working?!

WHAT THE SHIT i just checked that myself, and all my links have broken for me as well AUGH

also the links show up and are working when I go to edit the post? I am confused. 

see????

then I press ‘save’ and the links disappear

HELP. MY RECS PAGE HAS BORKED. 

After snowmelt, are Legolas and Gimli elivsh married? Because elvish marriage is sex, so…???…? If so, all I want is the elven guests at Aragorn’s coronation to be lowkey, who the heck did Legolas marry, and when did he get married? Etc. Elrond facepalms so much. Galadriel is laughing, (she saw it coming), and everyone else is sort of vaguely interested/not.

If they’re not married, then they’re the next best thing to married. Basically. In my mind, tremendously frantic frottage counts! 

It strikes me now that they both might consider it differently. To Gimli, that was most definitely sex, no bones about it (PUN, LOOKIT THE PUN). To Legolas, he might consider the ‘act of joining’ (to put it delicately) to be the thing. Either way, another Elf would be able to tell that Legolas has had… something happen, if they looked at his eyes right after Snowmelt. 

But that ‘act of joining’ is barrelling towards us, the way I have it planned, so that’s a moot point! By the time Aragorn’s marriage rolls around and all the Elven guests arrive, there’ll be no question as to whether Legolas is similarly hitched. They’ll be able to discern it immediately.

So yeah, you’re not too far off the mark, Nonnie! Galadriel and Gandalf would be all YESS IT’S CANON HOT DAMN *Ship Captains high-five*

(and yup, I will be writing another side-fic for that ‘wedding night’ ksjdhfljsa)

You know how a conceit of Tolkien’s is that some real-world folk songs originated as different but recognizable songs from Middle Earth, like how “Hey Diddle Diddle” came from “The Man in The Moon Stayed Up Too Late”? What if “Loch Lomond” is an extremely drifted localization of a song Legolas wrote about him and Gimli both heading for the Dagor Dagorath separately and never meeting each other again in this world.

SHIT THAT’S GENIUS

(also? heart-breaking. Ow. Owwwwwwwwww. Ow. OW.

Ow.)

*hums* I’ll take the high road and you’ll take the low road…

After the Ring War is done and dusted, is Laindawar even a little upset that his little brothers have dwarf-dolls and he doesn’t?

neh, that’s really not his bag. He is a bit pissed that Legolas has all some lovely new dwarf-forged steel and weaponry, though, all covered with twisting engravings of leaves and stars, wound with the best spells that Dwarves can devise. 

“Well, can I buy some off them? What do you mean, no? Why won’t they sell it – I’ll give a good price! No, I will not enquire at market, the wares they have for sale are not as fine as yours! But… oh, their best work goes to their loved ones? But. Oh.” 

*glides away, leaving an aggrieved huff behind him*

(Gimli has ever been a mediocre smith, his gifts and inclinations leading him more towards gem-work or stonemasonry – however, a very talented smith is quite literally haunting him, after all, and he’ll be getting some serrrrrious lessons. There’s very little a Dwarf won’t do to meet the promptings of devotion 😉

Those Georgian dancers totally need ceremonial weapons, and instead of being in perfect synch all the time, they need to do one where they build the dance around a combat routine, dodging one another by millimeters as they dance. In a fanfic it would have to be highly dangerous, and if you mess up you might get your head lopped off. Gimli would insist on dancing it with Dwalin and Legolas would watch with his heart in his throat, both turned on like mad and terrified as hell. Definitely.

SAMe LEGOLAS SAME

I would read this forever, I don’t mind saying. THIS PREMISE SOUNDS INCREDIBLE. Fab culture-building, Dwarves being shit-hot and awesome (and esp Gimli in particular) – plus bonus dancing Dwalin and a terriflustered Legolas?

*grabby hands* wanttttt

Hey, first thanks to you (and that anon) for the wonderful sad gigolas art recs! Second, I believe that one of the recs you linked, the one supposedly by “chase-taurohtar”, is a repost and the actual fanart posted by the artist themself is from the blog url “kibbi” ( post/95242122996/gimlis-tomb-by-kibbitzer-immortality-is-a-bad ) source: traced it from the artist’s deviantart posting

SHIT. thank you for telling me Nonnie, guhhhh. Deleted and purged!
