CAN I MARRY YOUR FIC? I swear I’ll treat it right. I’ll love and cherish it for the rest of my lif–existence (see what I did there? ;). I mean, if someone can legally marry the Eiffel Tower then I should totally be able to marry your story, amirite? If not the fic itself, then maybe Gimris? Oh, but she’s spoken for, drat. :( TBH? I just want to hug your fic and never, ever let go, because it’s beautiful and brilliant and I’m still so completely in awe over it I can’t even think straight. <3

PFFFTHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOODNESS NONNIE I MADE A RHINOCEROUS-SNORT SORT OF SOUND HAHAHAHAHAHA – I now pronounce you Nonnie and Fic! 

I am so flattered and glad you like it, thank you so so much! And eeee, Gimris ❤ I am THRILLED you like her! 

Heh, Bofur would totally understand: he believes that nearly everyone should want to marry Gimris, because she is just THAT amazing – but he’s the lucky old sod that did! 

*hugs and hugs* Aaaaah Nonnie, thank you! Thank you so, so much!

Ngl, if I were a dwarf, my reaction to Thranduil in the mountain would be somewhere between Bofur and Dori, but the reaction to Gimli/Legolas with both sets of parents in the same space…I’d be all Bofur. Laughing hysterically, then breaking out the popcorn and finding a good place to sit and observe the action. Gimli and Legolas need a lot of luck right now. Also, can’t wait to see who Laindawar finally befriends! I don’t know why, I’m starting to like him, he reminds me of Grumpy Bear kinda

I am also 300% Bofur in this scenario, tbh! We are all Bofur :)))

god yeah, Gimli and Legolas need ALL the luck. 

heheheheheh, my grumpy terrier Elf, I am v fond of him. He is so prickly and terse, heh. Thank you, Nonnie, I am glad you like him! 

Hi! I have a kind of random question, if that’s okay? Does Laindawar make any friends in Erebor? Laerophen made a ton of dwarfling friends (and probably endeared himself a bit to their families by now), but does Laindawar ever make any friends in the mountain? Also, other random question: how do the remains of the company (minus Gloin who was very…vocal) feel about Gimli and Legolas, or just Thranduil being in the mountain for awhile?

Hey Nonnie!

Well, we’ll have to wait and see if the cactus Elf manages to un-prickle a bit! 

the answer is yes, but it is a sort of unexpected person he befriends

Ooooh, okay – well, there have been 300 Elves in the Mountain for months, so the vast vast majority of Dwarves are very used to their company now, and are appreciative of their help. Thranduil himself is riding a big wave of public approval for bringing food when they were so desperate. That said, here’s how the remaining company members feel about Thranduil himself being in the Mountain.  

  • Gloin = FUCK YOU WITH A PITCHFORK YOU ASSHOLE
  • Dwalin = One wrong move… just one wrong move… my axe is ready… just say somethin’ about barrels… just one little word…
  • Dori = MORE work? Really? More bloody work? More guests to take care of, feed and house and organise??? A ROYAL guest, no less! Can I rest??? CAN I LIVE
  • Bofur = *eating popcorn and watching with a certain sense of satisfaction and glee* 

Aaaaaand here’s how they feel about Gimli and Legolas:

  • Gloin = APOPLECTIC FURY / WORRY / SADNESS / MORE WORRY / FEAR / DOUBT / WORRY WORRY WORRY WORRYYYYY
  • Dwalin = … what the actual fuck, Gimli. He’s lost his mind. Too much sun. Been dropped on his head again.
  • Dori = ew. 
  • Bofur = *laughing hysterically, popcorn spilling everywhere*

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 🙂

re: Gimizh and Gimris fashion shows: Gimiris won’t clean any of Gimli’s damn clothes. She raised Gimizh, and is *out of patience* for these shenanigans. Bofur literally cannot stop laughing, at least, when he’s not telling his son how fine he looks in his new clothes, and perhaps we can get Dori to take them in for you a bit, huh? They all agree on handsignals to make sure the coast is clear of *shudder* those damn Elves who don’t stop asking questions.

LMAAAAO OH GOSH HAHAHAHA

When he gets back, Gimli is like… but wait, this shirt was too big before I left…

Gimris: *innocent shrug*

Gimizh and Laerophen have at least one matching outfit. Gimris isn’t sure whether she wants to laugh or cry, Gloin goes and yells in a corner for a minute, then pointedly complements Laerophen on his outfit. Bofur is just losing it. Watching the tiny dorf and the gangly elf hanging out, being all matchy matchy.

OH MY GOD MATCHY MATCHY ELF AND BABY DORF. 

my fave part of this is Gloin, tbh. Imagining him going into a corner to screech between his teeth for a solid five seconds. Then coming back calmly and saying, “you’re wearin’ the belt upside-down. But… y’ look… decent. Well done.”
