Second request! peggaboo asked for “teddy bear fellowship”, and all I could think of was Elanor Gamgee re-enacting her dad’s stories with her teddy collection. She made the cloaks and swords and things herself.
Sansukh-verse Bifur/Ori because they’re lovely and I love them.
(They may be the slowest burn to ever burn, but they’ve surely managed to make out by now, at least.)
*Throws art and runs*
oh my daaaaaarlings!!! Huzzah for 127yo Ori with hair and beard grown out…! – andoh my gosh I adore Bifur’s tattoos and the proportions are fantastic! Two very different sorts of Dwarf ❤
The irritation of siblings, with science nerd Óin and bratty Glóin who keeps touching everything.
(One of the things I miss most from the movies is Óin and Glóin’s bickering. At one point in the book they have an actual fight over lighting fires and it’s gloriously petulant.)
So I can’t do a recorded intro for the Sansukh podfic because I recently moved and my microphone is packed somewhere that probably seemed sensible at the time.
Anyway, hi everyone! I’m Chess and I’m playing one of those drunken sods who spends their days in Nori’s tavern.
I have named said drunken sod Bernard. Nice to meet you all! 😀
I firmly believe that Bifur is really good with kids, and gets on famously with Bombur’s children. After he was injured, spending time with them was really important to him regaining some equilibrium. The kids in turn think that Uncle Bifur is pretty awesome – he makes them toys, after all. And when he babysits he lets them stay up past bedtime and they get dessert even if they don’t finish their dinner.
The uncles, according to Bombur’s kids:
– Uncle Bifur makes the best toys. Some of them can even move.
– Uncle Bofur tells the best stories – they’re really funny and he does all the voices. Uncle Bifur’s stories are a bit confusing because he forgets where he’s got to.
– Uncle Bofur is the fastest at pony rides, but Uncle Bifur makes the best pony noises.
– They both give good hugs, but they’re not a patch on hugs from Mum or Dad. Obviously.
Sorry if it sucks.
