*HUGS*
Thank you, Nonnie, thank you so so SO much, I’m thrilled you enjoyed (is that the right word?) it.
That’s the idea… there’s hope. There’s new life in the midst of all this terrible, terrible loss.
imagine how drunk Bombur and Dain are about to get in the Halls together
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW
*clutches chest*
Ohhhh all Bombur’s kids though…
Unsociable little Bomfris, hiding in Bifur’s workroom, sulking. People are stupid. Ravens are much more sensible. At least they say exactly what they mean!
Barur escaping to Uncle Bifur’s place when the horde of people he has to feed every day only seems to get bigger, and the purse only seems to get lighter.
Baris singing quietly in her marvellous voice as Bifur gives her a bit of whittling or painting to do (because there’s just so much pressure, she never knew, never understood that there would be such pressure)
Bomfur sitting quietly, tinkering with a few of the toys absently, lost in thought. Then standing and announcing that he’s off to buy some green dye for his beard, and can Uncle Bifur please help him apply it? And Bifur patting his shoulder and nodding and smiling – and he’s the first one to call her Bomfa.
Alfur whining to Bifur as he moons hopelessly over Gimli from afar, his little crush in full-flight.
Alrur sitting for hours upon hours, just watching Bifur work. (Alrur runs as fast as he can one day, panting and stumbling and nearly glowing with happiness, to Uncle Bifur’s place. He has to tell him! He’s found his calling! He will be a toymaker too!)

AH TOO CUTE I MUST EXPLODE NOW
Bomfrís Daughter of Alrís
(If you think this is her face when she sees Bombur ’s dead body in Chapter 35, you would be completely correct. Ow.)
One the many badass Dwarrowdams from Sansûkh by determamfidd.
I once knew someone with so many freckles they even had them on their lips, which I thought was downright beautiful. So, of course, I had to put them on freckled babe archer dwarf here.
Bomfrís is the bomb, pass it on.
Hope it’s to your liking, Dets!
AHHH MISS POP SHE IS BEAUTIFUL and also heartbreaking how very dare you
THAT SHADING ON HER HAIR? HER EYEYEYEYEYEYES!! BEARD YES YES BEARD! As a freckle-face myself I LOVE her freckles, omfg – yessssss! HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THIS? NEARLY AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU.
*tackleglomps*
Thank you thank you thank you FOREVER, you beautiful person!!
Barur is a very good Big Bro. ❤
(And awwwww – cooking lessons with Barur Stonebelly! Feat. Thorin Stonehelm as the incompetent apprentice, lolol. I’d watch that show!)
awwwwwwww!!!
(and if he sings old songs he never thought he’d sing again, and thinks of another baby when he holds the little one, well. That’s hardly surprising.)
MEEP SO CUTE MEEP MEEP MEEP
It is my unashamed and total delight to do so, Nonnie. I am so fond of them all, seriously. The sibling relationship between Bomfris and Baris just makes me wanna roll around happily, as does Dis’ very different friendships with Orla and Thira. Heck yeah Dwarrowdams! 🙂
(my fave unexpected friendship is actually turning out to be Haban and Narvi!)
(*whispers* I… have never tried maple candy is it nice)
I think that Bomfris might actually have something of a sweet tooth, actually! Her whole family would know that when she comes in from the raven-heights, hide the lollies, because she will chomp ‘em all.
Balin is particular to cake – especially Bombur’s lovely Shire-inspired cakes. Mmmm.
Jeri has been known to make toffee. It is very, very good. (it is also very VERY HARD. The children call it ‘tasty quartz’, and one piece can last all day – if you’re careful about it.)
And Gimizh, of course, is a great and notorious Cookie-Thief! Wee Thorin actually prefers pie, but try telling Gimizh that when he’s in a cookies mood. Impossible.
Aw Yiss
