Gimli! Legolas! Thorin and Bilbo and oh god the tears, the tears are OW, and Frodo and Sam here are so goddamn perfect i am cry, Frodo’s face and Sam’s sweet resolute expression and HELP ME I KEEP LOOKING AT ALL THIS DETAIL AND FLAILING – Legolas’ armour and the Art Nouveau travery on his tunic and the Durin Blue on Gimli (THAT TEXTURE!!!) and the brooch, and HIS CHEEK-TASTIC GRIN I am gonna hyperventilate here!

and omg Barad-Dur in the background SO PERFECT YES BECAUSE YES OH MY GOSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHH

thank you! Thank you SO SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hey! I have a question if that’s ok?? I was rereading through the awesomeness that is sansukh and I saw in one part thorin was yelling that thranduil will ask for the white gems next. Does this mean in sansukh canon bilbo never gave them to thranduil after botfa, like he did in the book? Or was thorin still getting used to being dead that he didn’t know bilbo gave the elf king them? Thanks!! (I love your writing so much)

Hey Nonnie! 

Bilbo did NOT give Thranduil the white gems in the book – the white gems (and their background story etc etc) are an invention of the movies. 

All the book says is that the Elvenking is fond of white gems. 

Bilbo gave the Elvenking a silver and pearl necklace, actually, one that Dain had gifted to him 🙂

(Thorin didn’t know, and that is probably for the best, lmao)

know what kinda breaks my heart? Bilbo’s long introductory monologue of AUJ, where he’s like “ahh, Frodo… Erebor! The greatest kingdom in Middle-Earth!” and then describes its utter glory in such *detail* and such feeling, and it’s just like… Bilbo… honey… you were never THERE. You’ve never SEEN it like this; only empty and burnt and desolate. He talks as if he witnessed it himself before the Dragon came, when really, only Thorin and Balin could’ve told such tales.

you come into my inbox and leave unadulterated pain

Inks done on pic for Sansukh. Not pleased with Thorin; he’s a difficult one to draw.

 – look, i know you doubt me, i know you always have. and you’re right, i often think of bag end. i miss my books. and my armchair. and my garden. see, that’s where i belong. that’s home. and that’s why i came back, cause you don’t have one. a home. it was taken from you. but i will help you take it back if i can.
