Those diplomacy visits which are actually perfect oportunities to throw veiled insults at each other; ravens, elks and war pigs are the best accomplices
No one warned Bard
Some people mentioned the book canon!Thrush so let’s say Bard is a fast learner and the next meeting goes much better for him

A couple more Dain-related thingies, maybe I’ll colour them (I probably won’t colour them). Dain with a baby Stonehelm, trying to do the King thing without getting distracted, and a happy greeting between two Kings, I imagine Bard and Dain would definitly bond over a mutual dislike of meeting and politics.
Because Dain Ironfoot is amazing and really deserves a lot more love!
This is just something I imagine happening after the events of BotFA~ Also I have so many emotions over Dis jfc, I pity her so much ;___;
Oh, and the end picture i Dain’s death alongside Brand because yes, that also makes me suffer A LOT
*bursts into tears*
OH MY GOD IT’S DAIN actual DAIN and he is real and sympathetic and noble and his situation is examined with compassion, his grief and his loyalty and ohhhh I AM CRYING REAL HOT TEARS HERE i didn’t know how much i needed this holy shit, he’s not some horrible caricature or obnoxious ass but DAIN DAIN DAIN AUGH his hair! his tatts! His eyebrows! *hugs him and hugs him*
AND BARD yes gimme all the Dale-Erebor friendship til death (are you trying to kill me with that last panel ARRRGH HIS DEATH HIS DEATH NOO) and DIS DIS AND ALL SHE HAS LOST *heart trembles in chest* your eye for faces and expressions *clutches face and whimpers* and body ratios and shapes, the angles you have chosen make me blubber and ohhhh argh yes, I am so happy and you have destroyed me
Yeah, I don’t think Dis would have been as angry with Bard. After all, he is also a displaced person. Still, I think she would have been angry enough – at everyone.
Inspired by Sansukh and Dain Ironfoot’s battle piggies, some heraldic scribbles for the line of Durin
The basic shield of the kings of Erebor would have a crown above, with a black chevron representing the mountain under an arc of 7 stars. Beyond this base, each king would have personal elements.
Dain’s Arms have a hammer crossed with his red axe under the mountain, with a raven in flight above, a chevronel under the black to represent his lordship of the Iron Hills, and has, most importantly, boar supporters.
Notes for the Arms of Thror and Thorin under the cut.
