Okay so I already have a lot of feelings about Dori meeting his brothers again in the Halls, but what about his mother? Dori apologizing to her over and over for not protecting his brothers well enough, and Zhori hugging him tight and telling him that’s nonsense, that she’s grateful that he worked so hard to keep the family together for so long after she was gone. Dori breaking down crying, because he’s had to BE the oldest and the parent for so long that he’s forgotten how it felt to HAVE one.

Yay, this is finally done! 😀 This is my setting of The Lay of Nimrodel, which Legolas sings in The Fellowship of the Ring.  This has always been my favorite Tolkien poem, and I think I first came up with the beginnings of this tune for it when I was about twelve. XD I did a rough version a while back, but now that I finally have my new mic I wanted to give it a go for real.

(Apologies for the background noise- unfortunately a lot of it is the stupid plastic pedal I have for this keyboard and the sound quality goes a bit wonky when I try to noise cancel it XD)

Not technically done for Sansûkh since I started way before I read it, but it still could be XP (while I work on more stuff that is for that)

Lyrics- JRR Tolkien
Music/Arrangement/Performance- Me

Please don’t use this particular setting without permission!

Everybody. Listen. To. This.

Avi this arrangement is jawdropping. The rolling piano perfectly captures the rivulets of Nimrodel, it’s sweet and melancholy without dragging, it’s so beautiful, it’s so so beautiful.

And YOUR VOICE, EXCUSE ME THO. How much spin and brightness in your voice, your vowels as clear as crystal, utterly spectacular tone and placement I AM SHOUTING NOW IT IS YOUR FAULT FOR BEING TOO AMAZING

*listens again and again and again* GDI that slow section *clutches face* *moans happily* AUGH

AVI

AVI IT IS SUPERB

So I said I wasn’t gonna record anything else tonight but I lied >.> I loved this song when it was first posted, but seeing it in context put it in an entirely new (read: painful) light.  I adore Dets’ choral version, but I wanted to try to sing it as Barís might have actually sounded by herself.  Not gonna lie, the first half is acting and the second half was me actually getting a little choked up because I have so many feelings about that scene >.>

AUGH AVI

AUUUUUUGH

that little hitch in the line ‘through and through…’ it got me. it got me.

aND THEN THE ‘my baby’  – AUUUUUGH

*becomes one with the pillow* *waves white flag* AUGH

Heyyyy so remember I learned to play this a couple weeks ago? XD Finally got off my butt (and put my butt on the piano bench) and recorded the thing!  I think I meant to do this on the real piano at my mom’s with my new mic, but this’ll do for now XP

God I love this song ❤

The Last Goodbye, from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

So we’ve been talking about the official character sigils on skype for a few days now, and then people were drawing Sansûkh mourning marks… And since I am both Ri brothers trash and Sansûkh trash, have a sketch of old Dori getting ready for bed, featuring his mourning tattoos for Ori and Nori.

Sansûkh is by the lovely determamfidd as usual, art is mine XD

OH MY GOD AVI

OH MYYYY GOOOOODDDDDDD

*breaks down in tears*

He’s beautiful. They’re beautiful. You’re amazing. This is perfection. 

Face, wrinkles, body hair, SCARS, tattoos, beard – AUGH there is too much about this that I love to even list it all. I am legit sniffling. Thank you SO MUCH.

Oh, Dori.

Dets! What part of Middle-Earth are the Broadbeam’s from? (I may or may not be attempting to make a Broadbeam dumpling stew recipe. Shhhh…)

aviva0017:

determamfidd:

OOOOOOH. Tell me how it turns out! And if you want to, you can absolutely send me a recipe! Sansukh Cookbook ahahahaha

OKAY. I’m paraphrasing here, please tell me if I am remembering any of this wrong!

So. Broadbeams were one of the three Western clans of Dwarves. Durin of the Longbeards woke at Mt Gundabad and wandered in the Misty Mountains before he proceeded to build Khazad-dum.

(I’ve always felt that this makes the colonisation of Mt Gundabad by Orcs particularly awful for the Dwarves, aside from the military implications – Mt Gundabad would be a very sacred place. Durin slept there for long ages, and first woke there. OUCH. Jeez. Dwarves can’t catch a break.)

The other two Fathers of the Dwarves (Broadbeams and Firebeards) woke in the Blue Mountains, or Ered Luin. They built their cities there. The Broadbeams built Belegost, and the Firebeards built Nogrod.

Both were lost after the War of Wrath, in which half the Blue Mountains were tipped into the sea. Most of the surviving Dwarves fled to Khazad-dum and mixed with the populace there.

(In Sansukh, I am using the ruins of Belegost as the setting for the Longbeard refugees of Erebor).

For interest, the other four clans (Stiffbeard, Blacklock, Ironfist, Stonefoot) woke in the Orocarni (Red Mountains), to the East 😉

Only thing here that’s technically incorrect is that all we know canonically is that the Broadbeams and Firebeards built Nogrod and Belegost. We don’t know if each city belonged to one race or if they built/inhabited both together. The Nogrod-Firebeards and Belegost-Broadbeams division is technically fanon, though very reasonable fanon that I tend to also use.

That’s super ridiculously nitpicky but you asked XD Good answer otherwise (and man I hope somebody makes that recipe >.>)

Ah, thanks avi! ❤

SOUP. MMMM.

Doodled a Mama Ri at breakfast this morning XD I still haven’t decided what I
want her name to be- most of the ones that make any sense have been used somewhere already, so it’s more a matter of just picking one XD

She was considered quite beautiful, and was very resilient and optimistic despite her difficult and largely unlucky lot in life.  Physically her first son Dori resembled her the most (the other two took more after their fathers), but all three of them inherited her particularly lovely and abundant hair, and its tendency to go silver unusually early. (enjoy that auburn while you’ve got it Nori, you’ve got maybe thirty years of it left XD)

Drawn in some random pen I had in my purse since I couldn’t find a pencil XD basically I just wanted to get a design for her on paper so I could draw her more because I love that whole effing family so much ❤

GORGEOUS
