Not sure what the pig’s name is, but I just feel that Petunia fits their snarky personality

alsjhdgflaj THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH! It’s utterly gorgeous! *clings to it and to you*

How does Gimli explain pig and goat riding to non-dwarves that he meets? Especially the Rohirrim?!? Like, yes your horses are cool, but have you ever thought about suiting up a pig and riding into battle?

Once the matter of Galadriel was settled between them, Eomer and Gimli relaxed into a jocular, bantering sort of friendship. With Gimli settling his people in the White Mountains, and Eomer ruling in Edoras, they were often in contact. Visits were a frequent occurrence – most often accompanied by truly staggering amounts of the fruity Rohirric beer. 

Eomer never forgot that Gimli had saved his life at Helm’s Deep. When his first child was born, he named the baby ‘Elfwine’ – which translates to ‘Elf-friend’. Gimli was in raptures, and hurried as fast as he could to Edoras to give his congratulations to the parents, and to meet his newest namesake. 

He managed to astonish the whole of the Golden Hall, and much of the city, by arriving upon a great shaggy goat. Its huge curling horns were tipped in steel, and it stepped sure-footed and swift upon the steep mountain path. 

Eomer was nonplussed. A Dwarf seated upon a goat, as easy and comfortable as any of his Eored in the saddle! “I thought you did not care for riding, Gimli?” 

“Don’t get precious. I said I preferred my feet to a horse, and that will remain true so long as Arod stays with Legolas in Ithilien,” said Gimli cheerfully.

He swung down from his goat and gave it a friendly pat on the back. It lipped at his shoulder, before nipping at the hard leather of his jerkin. “Stop that.

This here is Pepper, and he’s a war-ram. Thought he’d be less confronting than the pig.”

“You ride pigs too?”

“Aye, but I didn’t think it’d be fair to ride a battle-boar here.” Gimli grinned. “Wouldn’t do to show up riding somethin’ prettier than you, after all. So, where’s this little bairn with the excellent name?”

Thira loves her husband, and put up with a lot from him, but once they were married, she told him that under no circumstances would any pigs be sleeping on the bed, no I don’t care how old they are, yes that tiny piglet is adorable but do you know how big they grow because I do and I do not want to be waking up to that on top of me. Dain pouts. There are two Durin pouts when Thira puts her foot down on the no-pigs-in-bed rule when Stonehelm gets old enough to ask.

LMAAAAAO OH MY GOSH YES piggus are enormous, they do not belong on beds. 

(I am reminded of a friend’s Great Dane, who has been known to shove him out of bed when it stretches out its legs heheheheh)

hmmm tbh I think smartypants old Dain might flip that long-suffering-wife-stereotype around at times. Thira can get very single-minded and caught up in her projects, and so Dain has a similar rule. 

It goes ‘the only bit o’ blacksmithing allowed on the bed is my foot.’

battle-pig-in-costumes anon from before. imagine Dain trying to create an Iron Hills Project Runway, where the models are all his lovely piggie lasses. Thorin Stonehelm is forced into a judge role. When they get to Erebor, Dain enlists Dori to be the Tim Gunn. Piggy fashion shows. None of the dwarves quite understand why they find it so entertaining, and don’t understand why – dang, that pig look good in that outfit where can I buy one in my size?

OH MY GODDDDDD

THAT IS BRILLIANT.

Piggy fashion. Yes. AWESOME ❤

since it’s the month of Halloween in the US, I’ve seen a lot of dog-costumes in stores, which leads me to… Dain definitely had outfits for his battlepigs created, that were not armor or protective in any way, shape, or form, but just so that his pretty, pretty pigs could be *EVEN PRETTIER* Just imagine: PIGGY FASHION SHOWS!!!! bby!Stonehelm loves them. As he gets older… he tolerates them. (For his funeral, Dori and Dis make sure that his favorite pigs are wearing mourning colors.)

OH MY GOODNESS I NEED 

THOSE GREAT BIG HAIRY PIGGIES IN THEIR PRETTY DUDS, ALL DOLLED UP

ohhh noooo piggy mourning clothes AUGH no, that’s not playing fair

(i think I have been warped by children’s tv tho, bc the first enduring image my mind threw at me was THIS:

WARPED, I TELLS YOU)
