Hi! So I’ve never actually reached out to a fanfic author before (because shyness) but I just really want to say how much I love Sansukh – on my third re-reading! I especially love how you have dealt with Fili; your approach to people realising how much potential he had but never got to achieve is so well done. Just wondering if we’re going to get more between Thorin and his nephews? (for example, how do they feel about Thorin’s relationship with Gimli – any jealousy when he calls him ‘son’?)

AHHH THANK YOU NONNIE! I am stunned and stoked that you enjoy it so much! And eeee, yes, I’m so glad you like Fili’s trajectory in the fic! He is my Golden son, my word yes. He’s come SO FAR.

There’ll be some more! But at this stage I think it will be interactions in combination with other characters… not entirely sure! *cough*DIS*coughcough*FRERIN*cough*

Oooh, I’ve covered a bit of that in the story through their reactions etc: They’re not jealous, no way. Really early on, they saw that Gimli was helping Thorin connect and re-centre himself. That’s a GOOD thing. 

Like, if someone close to you is self destructive and imploding slowly, and you personally are not the one that gets through and helps them (despite trying or whatever), it doesn’t really make sense to be jealous of the person that does. You’re relieved and happy that the one close to you is doing better. 

Thorin has a special name for his nephews: they are his Undayûy. It means ‘greatest boys’. They are special to him in ways that Gimli can’t replace (and vice-versa). Thorin will always feel protective and paternal towards them: he helped raise them. 

He’s not the primary parental figure to Fili and Kili – Dis is and always will be THE parental figure – but he is absolutely one of the most formative pillars of their lives, is there for them, teaches them, cares for them. He loves them unconditionally. 

At first, Gimli was a touchstone for Thorin, he’s been a way back to the world and to life. That’s an entirely different thing, and he loves Gimli for it in a different way. I love my students entirely and with all my heart, I’ve watched them grow up and change and learn and BECOME, and I am stupendously proud of them. But I don’t love them exactly the way I love my niblings. 

Too, much like a teacher-student relationship after a long long time, Thorin and Gimli are moving slowly towards a friendship of equals now. 

Thorin has a gigantic damn heart. There’s a lot of love there for a lot of people. 

(PLUS Fee and Kee love Gimli too. They were playfellows and friends as children, and he helped their uncle AND their mother. They’re all ‘AW YEAH GO GIMMERS!!!’)

Dis.  

I liked how the underpainting of my previous piece looked without the outlines so i decided to try and do a speed painting of sorts (this took about an hour) without using outlines.  Her hair is based off a photo I remember seeing once of some celebrity with a giant awesome mohawk/braid thing, but I honestly have no idea who it was 😛

It was fun, but I feel that I really enjoy the little things I add here and there with my outlines, so it’s probably not something I’ll do very often.

Frerin watches over his siblings from the Halls of Mahal, wishing he could reach them

Also known as when you get too deep in the Sansukh wormhole and Avicii makes you cry thinking about it. So thanks @determamfidd for the influx of emotions

Here’s Sansukh

me: -thinks about Dís meeting the future child of the Stonehelm and Bomfrîs- :’)
brain: hey, remember how Dís said she hadn’t been feeling hungry in chapter 39?
me: wait-
brain: remember how she lost her mother and grandmother and home to a dragon?
me: please-
brain: and how she lost her husband, brother, father and grandfather in one day?
me: …
brain: and then lost both her sons and her brother and didn’t know their fate for months?
me, softly: please.
brain: hey, i have an idea! let’s imagine what’ll happen when she finally passes and goes to the Halls 😀
me: 😥
