Mrs. Dets, can you tell us if Thira is alright?? After what happened at Dain’s grave I wanted nothing more than to hug her and I hope that her son, Mizim or Dis did exactly that ;-;

Hi there Nonnie!

She’s staying with Dis, at the moment. She’s okay. She isn’t coming out a lot, after what happened. Her son and Bomfris come over each morning for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Mizim has been cooking for them both.

Genild and Beri have also been keeping an eye on her – Genild has known her a long time, from the Iron Hills. Now and then Dori drops by when his busy schedule allows. 

She will be all right – she’s iron all through, our Thira – but she’s had a very rough few months. 

HEADCANONPALOOZA PART THE …SOMETHINGTH. i dunno, I have lost track!!!

(if you’re wondering wtf is this, basically these are sansukh headcanons people have recently sent me, that I haven’t been able to address over the past few days – sorryyyyy sorry sorry!)

<333 Thank you, thank you, I am particularly fond of the baby-box one and the Oin one 🙂

There have been too many arguments between the parents and children of Erebor and the Iron Hills about the appropriateness of boars as pets. (“But the King has one! Her name is Buttercup! Why can’t I get one?” “For the thousandth time, NO!”)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now I’m imagining Beri and Genild having this argument together, with Jeri chiming in (and the Stonehelm totally and firmly on the Pig side of the argument and egging it on.)

Eventually Beri and Genild compromise on the pet issue, and get an Iron Hills goat. It’s stubborn and ornery and eats everything in sight, and is 1000x more trouble than a pig ever would be.

Beri loves the thing, and it loves her back. It is full of fiery hatred for everyone else.

Genild is resigned and grumbly about it. “I SAID WE OUGHT TO GET A PIG, DIDN’T I?” There are a lot of comments about garlic these days.

(Jeri doesn’t sleep over at their mums’ place too often anymore. Something about being woken up by a pair of square yellow eyes…)

Idk if this ask went through … So picture Beri and Genild the avid quilters. They met at a quilting bee/quilter’s meeting. So cute. Such a practical and pretty activity. They make quilts as gifts. Jeri has so many. Dain got a pig quilt or three. Quilts for royal baby. Dis has a line-of-Durin quilt.

I didn’t see it, sorry about that! *glares at tumblr*

Aww, I can see Beri taking up quilting, after Jeri is grown and they’ve gone up in the world, and she’s no longer a soldier and has the leisure time and the funds to take up a hobby… but my sincere apologies, Nonnie, it’s not Genild’s sort of thing at all!! 

But here’s this: I can imagine Beri trying to teach her… and Genild glaring at it. Like, forever. Because urgh, fiddly, and takes-too-long and MAHAL ALREADY can she go do something that isn’t sitting down for hours and stabbing herself in the thumb a hundred bloody times?

Beri would finish off the quilts, chuckling to herself, probably, as she unpicked every clumsy stitch. 

(the sounds of Genild huffily smacking pots about in the kitchen as she begins on “something useful” – translation: cooking up a batch of her spicy fish stew -echo down the hallway. It sounds rather as though Genild is using the pots and pans as practice weaponry. Beri would grin down

just a little wider

at the half-finished quilt on her lap. She has negative amounts of stillness, Beri’s darling wife. Always has to be up on her feet!)

Who hasn’t Laerophen accidentally caught kissing in a random corner? He almost tripped on Thorin 3 and Bomfris on his way to the toilets near the council rooms once. He was walking with Gimizh and managed to steer the kid around Beri and Genild in a broom closet (those noises are totally someone reorganizing the cleaning products. Totally not worth investigating). Laerophen and Merillin went for a walk in the moss gardens only to see Gloin and Mizim happily locking lips. Laerophen is so put upon

My poor socially incompetent flamingo Elf, awww ❤ Gangling his way from blush to blush, freezing in place when he stumbles across yet another romantic rendezvous, NO I AM NOT AT ALL TAKEN OFF-GUARD SEE HOW VERY COMPOSED AND IN CONTROL I AM AT ALL TIMES, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MY EARS ARE NOT RED

You just know that he was only looking for the library. 🙂

So Genild and Beri probably great-aunt a lot of little spdwarf kiddos who don’t have a lot of older relatives. Beri misses dealing with kids, and Genild likes their enthusiasm. This is also why Jeri is so good at making rock candy -it’s one of their more regular contributions to their “little cousins” along with piggyback rides.

LOL! This is freaking adorable Nonnie! I fully believe that Beri would deal with the itty bitty slightly-gloopy-and-sticky ones, whereas Genild is much more comfortable when they are a little older (and can feed themselves and use the bathroom, for example). Genild is not a small-children person! 

Jeri would be all about those kiddies, hells yes. (Jeri LOVES KIDS, Jeri has a soft and gooey nougat centre, they do!) 

lacefedora:

The wonderful determamfidd commissioned me to draw her Sansukh OCs Genild and Beri (Aka Jeri’s Mums!!!!). Words cannot express how pleased I was to get to draw older lady dwarf wives. I also cannot express how grateful I am to have Dets tell me things like ‘run wild; I trust your designs’. Talk about making me feel good about myself.

The greatest challenge of this was trying to figure out how to make Genild’s beard look ‘wiry’ in my style without it looking completely ridiculous. I think it succeeded lol. Then I made Beri’s beard super luscious to compensate haha. Beri’s beard is envied for miles around! Aaaahh I’m super pleased with this I hope you like it Dets! They’re also both veterans so I got to give them oodles of scars!

If you would like a Commission all your own, all the info is HERE

OH LACE LACE THEY ARE PERFECT AHHH

my lovely comfortable badass old lesbians, oh my goodness, LOOK at Beri’s beautiful beard and temple- and finger-tatts! HER PIERCED EYEBROWS YAAAS and her gorgeous adoring smile! Berriiiiiiii hells yeah, that is 90000% Jeri’s lovely mum!! 

AND GENILD OH GOD I LOVEHER LOVEHER LOVEHER, her beautiful amber eyes and her scars and those gorgeous gold-bound braids!!! VETERAN OF THE BOTFA, WARRIOR OF THE IRON HILLS, LOVING WIFE AND PROUD MA. 

How can I not trust your amazingness, Lace, when you brought these two beautiful ladies to life so spectacularly??? THANK YOU THANK YOU, I love them ahhh so so so much!!

dain-mothafocka:

Jeri stood up and took
a deep breath, trying in vain to stop a grin spreading over their
cheeks too much – they didn’t want to give it away. Genild and Beri
were sitting with their hands clasped in their laps and looking at
their child expectantly; Jeri could tell their amad was annoyed at
being made to wait. Ever since they had informed both of them that
they had some news to tell that evening, Jeri had been unable to
concentrate at work, willing time to speed up until past dinnertime.

“Spit it out!”
Genild exclaimed, almost falling off the end of the chair.

It wasn’t staying
hidden for very much longer.

“How would you both
feel,” they began, “about being grandmothers?”

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Jade I am squealing like an idiot at the screen, AHHHH GENILD, BERI, GRANNIES BABY AHHHHHH

Thank you so so much!!
