I’ve just started listening to Hamilton, it’s not bad so far, but when ‘You’ll Be Back’ came on, all I could think was ‘it’s Sauron or Saruman’s them song!’ I know you’ve done Hobbit/Hamilton things, did you consider that one or was it just me?

oh, most of the Hobbit4Ham stuff is the work of the inestimable @culturalrebel. She submits the amazingness to me, and I publish it.

She made a ‘You’ll be Back’ version from Thranduil’s POV which is absolutely goddamn delightful (so delightful I had to sing it!!!) but we haven’t tried a Sauron or Saruman one! Perhaps we should, that’s a great idea!

So I just found out that Tolkien wrote the hobbits as people of color and now I’m just imagining all the possibilities. Like dark skinned hobbits with brightly colored eyes or hair. So cool.

YES! I know, right!!! One of my fave things. That’s why I go out of my way to mention the ‘brown’ face or ‘brown’ hands (BROWN HOBBITS). 

Also, Aragorn is explicitly and constantly referred to as ‘dark’, so make of that what you will (MY MIND’S ARAGORN IS A POC)

I hope you don’t mind me sharing a new headcanon. I found this quote from HoME: “Morgoth’s power was disseminated throughout Gold, if nowhere absolute (for he did not create Gold) it was nowhere absent.” So now I have it in my head that the whole hoard of Erebor, apart from having been brooded on by a dragon, is a heap of tiny Morgoth particles. And so Thorin wasn’t “just” battling goldsickness, but leftover bits of Morgoth himself. Makes him even more awesome for recovering in the end, right?

Whoa, that’s… whoa. 

So, let me get this straight: Dragon, created by Morgoth (we think) that broods on gold, spreading its nasty dragony influence all over the place like dragon dandruff 

Gold which Morgoth was able to use as a conduit for his power (wow, laying the parable down thick and obvious there, Professor), thus amplifying the nasty of the dragon dandruff

and all the while a shiny bit of bling that Morgoth’s #1 dude Sauron made is chilling in a nearby Hobbit’s pocket. 

Christ on a crutch.

Fuck yes, Thorin’s awesome and fortitude should be screamed from the skies.

Sansukh fan art headcanon: Erebor as ground zero. Both letters arrive at once while Thranduil’s helping. Silver thermonuclear explosion stage left, red thermonuclear explosion stage right. Dual mushroom clouds. Dwarves everywhere going O_O and fleeing for their lives, except for Bofur in the center, who just sits down and laughs himself to death a la the weasels in Roger Rabbit; his soul flies away playing a harp, still laughing. (Dwarflings flee clutching cookie jars and various dolls.)

*pictures this in my mind’s eye*

*DIES LAUGHING LIKE BOFUR*

Dets! I finally got the chance to sit down and read the new chapter! I’m having so many Legolas/Gimli feelings and I just really need a hug ;____; (Also the chapter was great, you’re wonderful haha)

HI NONNIE HI HI HI HI

ahhhh I am so SO glad – and in particular, for the GIGOLASNESS OF IT bc I am not hopeless about that ship or anything ahahahaha *eyes dart side to side*

also… *HUGS AND HUGS AND HUGS* I am thrilled you liked it, thank you SO much for reading it!

It’s pretty late here and I have work tomorrow, yet I’m sitting and listening to each Hamilton song on Youtube now. I promised myself I wasn’t going to do it, I can count on one hand how many musicals I’ve seen, but then I started reading your Hobbit/Hamilton things and then…I’ve been sucked in. Now I’ve got Hamilton feels in addition to my Hobbit feels.

*clinks my glass against @culturalrebel‘s*

Glad you liked, Nonnie 🙂

There are a few elf dolls running around in Erebor after the events of the Ring War. Legolas is obviously a decent seller. Laerophen and Merilin do decently, since they were in Erebor and people remember what they did. Galadriel sells some (Galadriel hair fixing anyone?), as does Elrond. Glorfindel has actually been a quiet regular for some time. Guy killed a Balrog – dwarves figure they can overlook the whole elf thing for that. Frerin actually had a Glorfindel doll before Smaug.

pfffffffft okay! I’m not too sold on the idea of Dwarves making Elf dolls before the Ring War, but totally afterwards, that would def be a thing!

(to consider: My Little Shadowfax, anybody?)
