poplitealqueen also asked for Bomfris in 16. (she’s totally going to cause a looped braid trend when she’s queen)

taking a small break after this one

archnemeton replied to your post: THIS IS A PSA FOR AUDITIONEES

I can’t find Gimizh in this list, but he is also sir-not-appearing in the cast list and… is he cast? Is he not? Dwarflings are very important to meeeee and GIMIZH IN PARTICULAR.

I am sorry, archnemeton – Gimizh is to be voiced by the mighty mod, Ricky, who is working their BUTT off to make this all possible. Likewise, Laerophen is to be voiced by our other mighty mod, HeuristicDevice.

But all three of the sons of Dwalin are still not cast, and will be available for audition in future rounds!

(also – stay tuned for more Dwarflings in the future *coughBomfriscough*)

Alris made Bomfris several sets of gear to help her with her work in the ravens – heavy arm guards and shoulder pads so she won’t get scratched, warm lined gloves and boots, etc.

*stamps foot* YES THIS IS SO

The Stonehelm found Thrain’s pennywhistle in the Heir’s apartments. He fixed it up and returned it to Dis, who gave it back to him. He plays it regularly. (Bomfris thinks it’s cute)

AUUUUUUUUGHHHHH I LOVE IT YES PERFECTION

*tears hair* CUTE AND ALSO PAIN

MY FAVE COMBO

Awkward besotted parents Bomfris and Thorin Stonehelm is :)

I giggle a bit, imagining them in those first unreal, shocky, awed, dazed few weeks. In which everything is NEW AND TERRIFYING AND SO CONFUSING AND EXHAUSTING

AND OH MY GOD, TINY SO SO SO TINY AND PERFECT

When Laerophen has learned a little bit about how to actually deal with dwarves, does he sort of shyly go to Bomfris (hoping she’s in one of her good moods) and offer to show her a few of the wood-elven archery tricks? And they snark at each other but eventually fall into a weird friendship that’s like 60% archery competitions, and Laer is so proud the first time she beats him

AWWW THAT IS A PERFECT IDEA. I can see them falling into a bickering sort of friendship, consisting of one-upmanship, snarking and eye-rolling (and unspoken affection, because Bomfris is all ‘urgh emotional display, urgh’ and Laerophen is a bit ‘how do relationships work?’)

Another one done! I’m on a roll xD

Bomfrís, everybody’s favorite socially awkward little sausage from Sansûkh ❤ After I did Stonehelm I figured I had to design her too xD A lot of people have given her the circular Bombur beard, so I wanted to experiment with making her look a lot more like him than my Barís without doing that. There’s some of her mom in her too, in the eyes and when she smiles (which is lovely, if you can catch it XP), but she definitely has her Da’s nose and hair. I wanted to give her a simple hairstyle she could do herself from a pretty young age (with so many kids, there wasn’t always time for her mom to help, so she got used to it), and messy since she doesn’t care that much about it (the ravens don’t care if her braids are in order XP).

I definitely wanted her to have her own look without being really conventionally pretty- I think it’s extra cute that she’s not a famous beauty like Gimris, but that as soon as Stonehelm sees her it’s just like “ah yes she is perfection *heart eyes*.” XD (That’s his courting bead back there in her hair ;P)
