Gimris and Baris are best friends, right? Does Gimris ever call Baris her “little niece” just to wind her up? omg does Baris ever call Gimris “auntie Gimris” when she needs something done?!

Baris only ever called Gimris ‘Auntie’ once.

The look her friend gave her was enough to make her wish she hadn’t ever done so. Not because Gimris was cross, oh no. Because she looked gleeful.

Ever since, Gimris has teased Baris by calling her ‘dear little niecey’ and ‘our Baris’ and the like, just to watch her normally rather cheery, jolly friend roll her eyes and scowl in mock-annoyance back at her.

Gimris is a snarky younger sister. Mock her at your peril. Older siblings, be warned.

(it’s actually not all that annoying – and who knows? Snarking with Gimris might build a bit of Baris’ social confidence. She’s not very assertive when she’s not onstage, after all.)

okay so i’m not a huge dwarf person but nobody can deny the stellar worldbuilding that determamfidd has done with her epic fic Sansûkh…

and i read it off and on so I always appreciate aviva0017‘s awesome character designs for it…

and she posted this beautiful picture earlier and i just needed to draw Baris like that so here you go. Design credit 75% determamfidd, 20% celia, 5% me because I really like bells oops

Aaaa omg this is so beautiful! 😀  That dress, wowww!  I am super happy to have inspired this 😀

*gasp*

Oh my goooodness. This is spectacular! Her hair, her eyes, her belllsssss – this is utterly gorgeous – this is amazing, I am trying very hard to pick my jaw up off the floor (and failing). Thank you so so much!!

Oh dear I just had a sad idea after doing that drawing. Baris looks a lot like Bofur, and you said that she was especially close to him- so I imagine when she was little and Bombur and Alris were busy he would look after her or take her around town with him. And because she looks so much like him people would mistake her as being his. He would laugh it off- probably joke that he has no idea how such a lovely little lady is related to him at all- but inside it would remind him how badly he


aviva0017 said:[cont] wants a partner and kids of his own. 😦

*wibbles* AVI 

AVI NO

Thank goodness Bofur meets Gimris and the most awkward courtship in history begins. But. 

All those years watching Bombur’s family grow and grow – can’t remember how long, but it’s seventy years at least. All those years, all those kids, and Bofur wistfully dreaming of his own one day and never seeming to find it. Augh.

“…Their eldest daughter, the famous musician Barís, was dressed in the
traditional finery of a master performer, her sleeves and hair sweeping
the floor and her eyes shaded by a low circlet of bright aquamarines.
They were also threaded through her beard along with tinkling silver
bells that rang as she spoke or sang.”

(Please full view, I don’t know why it’s being slightly fuzzy on the dash)

Yay, more dwarf ladies!  I love Barís Crystaltongue a lot (I get the feeling this is a popular opinion ;p) and I always thought the description of her traditional performer’s ornamentation was really pretty.  This is definitely not chapter 37- I’m thinking a much happier song, maybe at a festival or something.

Barís has the complexion and hair of her mother Alrís, but in features takes after her uncle Bofur and grandfather Bomfur more than her father, which was the subject of much good-natured teasing as she grew up (luckily the next few looked much more like their dad XD).

Also I’m gonna say that I really hope she gets her lady >.> I hate seeing her pine and be sad

Baris belongs to the lovely determamfidd as usual, from her fanfic Sansûkh

Oh look more Barís what a surprise ehhhh i love her ok

lskdagfljashgdfkashdakhjas OH MY GOODNESS FISHY!!!

Oh her beautiful beard …! I am waggling my arms around like a goof, seriously! HOW LOVELY are these colours, and that braid-chain AHHHH i love it! SO SO MUCH. Thank you so so much!!

Dain has the absolute BEST lines in this! “Star-puddle” was great but then he called Aragorn’s scruff a lavvy-brush and I will never be able to not think that when I see him now. Also, what is it about lullabies that is so heartbreaking? Also also, I can’t believe poor Frerin doesn’t know Eowyn is still alive…poor wee dwarrow.

IDK WHAT IT IS ABOUT LULLABIES IDK IDK

I thought at first that perhaps Baris could bust out something high and soaring and ethereal… and then I thought: No. This isn’t about her being a stellar diva. This is not about her voice. 

This is about her dad.

And so I wondered next: Right, so Baris stands up, and everyone would expect a massive glorious jaw-dropping virtuosic performance? Because she is famous after all. She’s the greatest talent born in a century.

But instead, she begins a simple little lullaby, the sort that everyone knows. The kind of song that a dad would sing to his kids when they were small and couldn’t sleep, their little bodies hiccuping with sobs as he hugged them close in his broad, soft, warm arms.

Thus the cradle-song was born 🙂

(I LOVE WRITING DAIN, I LOVE WRITING HIM SO MUCH – HE’S BLUNT AND FUNNY AND NOT VERY POLISHED, AND YET HE IS SO SO SO SOOOO SMART HE IS A FREAKIN JOY TO WRITE AHHHH)

Thank you so so much, Nonnie! I’m thrilled you enjoyed it!
