Frerinith keeps on stealing Dwalin’s furs and falling asleep in them. It is adorable.

That’s very cute!

Instead of rocking-horses, Dwarves probably have a rocking-ponies, rocking-goats, and rocking-pigs. The most famous rocking-pig model is, in fact, Petal. Bofur asked Dain for his prettiest pig picture to design the rocking-pigs. Now there’s a rocking-Petal in many homes, happily enjoyed by many little dwarflings.

YAY PETAL!

Wait. Will Thranduil be getting that letter… At erebor? That sounds like disaster waiting to happen and I mean this is a disaster already

*whistles*

Taurieeeeeeel. T_T I’m okay. I just have dust or y’know, a bloody RUNESTONE in my eye. Oh Tauriel.

I was brushing my hair before bed when my phone bleeped and I saw that Sansukh had updated. It is now 2:37 AM, and I just finished reading the chapter, since I kept having to take breaks to calm down so I wouldn’t wake up my roomie. TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT!

saldkfjhglasjhdfa I am SO happy you enjoyed it, and that it was worth the (very, erp) long wait!! BUT OH MY GOD, PLEASE GET SOME SLEEP

I see you writing on google docs : ) Is that a reaction to the near miss with your computer?

YES.

The lovely @wilwarindi suggested it, and it is working like a charm! Although it doesn’t have all my saved autoformatting for all those accented names (like

Dáin

and

Dís

and

Glóin, nbbbbbgsjdhgfjksah), which can be irritating. Huzzah for ctrl+f.

me: ok I’ll just reread Sansukh and by the time I’m done the next chapter will update! me: remembers I read LotR in one day me: weeps

I’m WORKING EVEN AS WE SPEAK

I PROMISE

loooooOOOOOOK

AND!!!!! tah-daaah

it only makes sense that Elves are all secretly attracted to Dwarrows because what do elves find most attractive? nice hair, who has the most nice hair? Dwarrows! check and mate. why settle for a nice head of hair when you can have a nice everywhere of hair is all i’m saying.

a nice everywhere of hair

ohhhh my GOD,though, because Tolkien LOVED describing hair, lovedlovedloved it, it was always ‘river of gold/silver/mithril’ touched with moonlight or starshine or Telperion’s dew or something or other

can you imagine

“The glossy forests nestled in the smooth curve of his underarm, shining with the warmth of copper and bronze and the memory of fire…”

I don’t know what you have still planned for Sansûkh, but since it’s near the end of the LotR storyline I guess it’s probably near the end of Sansukh too, and I don’t know how i’m gonna deal with no more Sansûkh. It has become my go-to story for long and exhausting days, and I shall forever bless you brilliant mind and determination to go through this wonderful, amazingly thorough project

lashdgfljahsda well, I am gonna cover the Scouring of the Shire – though not in the kind of detail that Tolkien does! I mean, there’s very few missing scenes there tbh. A few, though. Enough! So I’m not ending precisely where the movie does.

But yeah. Once we reach the end of the books, expect possibly… two or three? more chapters. Then we’re done and dusted.

And god knows what I’ll do with myself, oh god. *cries*

Thank you, Nonnie. thank you so so much! I’m gonna miss it too. It’s been a long long journey. *hugs* And I’m so glad it has touched you.

I don’t know if you’ve ever heard Eurielle’s Song of Durin and Lament for Thorin on youtube, but I totally headcanon Baris’ crystal voice to sound like that.

I have heard them! ThEY ARE GLORIOUS. I’m pretty sure myself that Baris could sing like that, yeah – she’s very vocally versatile!
