Dwalin is the epic-est sleeptalker to ever sleeptalk. He has the craziest sleepytime adventures, very few of which make sense. Fili and Kili once timed him yell at Thorin for taking a wrong turn for twenty minutes straight – they heard him yelling from across the house. He sleepwalks too – whoever was on watch on the Quest had to corral him back into his bedroll on occasion. Dwalin denies everything. Balin saw it as his brotherly duty to get Orla some earplugs before she married his brother.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Perfect!

(I am especially loving the earplugs. I can just imagine it. “Balin, what…”  “Just. Trust me. You’ll thank me, lass.”)

so Kili anf Fili both play the fiddle right. how agressive do you think their playing gets? like I was watching Nuttin’ but Stringz on youtube and they get so into it and completely shred their bowstrings and I think Kili and Fili would play like that (probs not the style of music tho, something more dwarvish) and they keep breaking the strings or their bows and Dis getting annoyed cause “You just replaced the strings last week Kili what do you mean its broken???”

They would be surreptitiously cutting the tails of every pony in order to re-hair their bows, hell yes. Epic fiddle battles. and if the victory is in doubt, as a last resort the fiddle can also be used as a bludgeon

Also, Balin and Dwalin are meant to play the viol

And all I can see is this.
