Angsty bit … After Azanulbizar, Thrain and Groin have six kids to mind between them. Trying to keep them all fed and clothed is a challenge, especially while remembering all the dead folks.

oh fuck of course they would, oh my god OF COURSE

Thorin, Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin and Dis

owwwwwwww

now I need the Angsty Ongoing Adventures of Thrain and Groin, both of whom are mourning the loss of family and spouse and damn-near EVERYONE, even as they try to care for six of the most stubborn, traumatised, determined and badass teens & kids everrrr

(Groin would shoot off his mouth when worried, as though arguing with Fundin like he always does… and Thrain ofc cannot respond the way his brother did. It falls flat, they both fall silent… 

Groin saying ‘Haban’ thoughtlessly, without thinking, and

Thrain freezes in place, Groin’s throat trying to choke the next words, after … 

Thrain sighing over the kids as they discuss what to do about them, this time, Dwalin’s so young, he’s so angry, and wee Gloin doesn’t quite understand, and he absently says, ‘I’ll see what Da thinks…’ or perhaps ‘Thorin, Frerin and Dis…’ before he remembers that it isn’t anymore, there’s no Da, it’s not Thorin-Frerin-and-Dis… 

and oh GOD the silence. The awful silence that follows.)

Angsty bit … Frerinith complaining to Dis about being the youngest sibling and always being last and fussed over so much. It is awkward. See also Wee Thorin and Dori commiserating over being the oldest sib/the responsible one.

oh cripes

that IS awkward. Ooooh, awkward

But… oddly, for Sansukh, anyway… also, accurate. Because the youngest of the three children of Thrain and Fris is now the oldest. She’s 250+. 

(hope you like being the middle child, Thorin…)

MORE HOBBIT4HAM FROM THE WONDROUS CULTURALREBEL!

[DIS]

Oooh! I do, I do, I do, I

Doooo.  Hey!

Ooooh! I do, I do, I do, I dooo!

Nidoy, you got me

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m helpless!

Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em!

[DIS]

I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight.

We were at a party, kinsmen hearty on a hot night.

Laughing at Frerin while he’s dashing ‘round the room

Then you walked in and my heart went boom.

Tryin’ to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom

Everybody’s dancing and the band’s top volume.

Stomp to the rhythm as we wine and dine!

Grabbed my brother, said “No other.

This one’s mine!”

[DWARROWDAMS]

Oooh!

[DIS]

My brother makes his way across the room to you.

And I got nervous, thinking “What’s he gonna do?”

He grabs you by the arm, I’m thinkin’ you’re through!

Then you look back to me and suddenly I’m

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

Ooh, look at the eyes!-

[DWARROWDAMS]

Look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m-

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Down for the count and I’m drownin’ in them!

[DIS]

I’m so into you!

I am so into you!

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless! (I know that I’m)

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

Where are you taking me?

[THORIN]

I’m about to change your life.

[VILI]

Then by all means, lead the way.

[DIS]

Dis, daughter of Thrain.  Pleasure to meet you.

[VILI]

Lord Thrain?

[THORIN]

My sister.

[DIS]

Thank you for all your service.

[VILI]

If it takes fighting for the Delf for us to meet, it will have been worth it.

[THORIN]

…I’ll leave you to it.

[DIS]

One week later, I’m writing a letter nightly.

Now my life gets better every letter that you write me.

Laughing at my brother ‘cos he’s working on his glarin’.

[THORIN]

I’m just saying, if he hurts you, Frerin and I’ll shear him.

[DIS]

Ha!

Two weeks later, in the living room stressin’

My father stone-faced while you’re asking for his blessing

I’m dying inside as you wine and dine,

And I’m trying not to cry, cos there’s nothing that your mind can’t do.

My father makes his way across the room to you.

I panic for a second, thinking ‘We’re through!’

But then he shakes your hand and says ‘Be true.’

And you turn back to me, smiling and I’m

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m

Helpless! (Whoo!)

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

Helpless! (He’s mine! That Dwarf is miiine!)

Helpless!

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

M’lady, I don’t have a penny to my name.

An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame,

All I have’s my honour, a tolerance for pain.

A couple of years of crafting and my top-notch brain.

Insane! Your family brings out a different side of me.

Frerin confides in me, and Thorin tried to take a bite of me

No stress! My love for you is never in doubt!

We’ll get a place in Ered Luin and we’ll figure it out.

I’ve been living without a family since I was a wean,

My father left, my mother died, all those years so lean.

But I’ll never forget my mother’s face, that was real.

And ‘long as I’m alive, m’jewel, swear to Mahal

You’ll never feel so-

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

I do, I do, I do, I do!

[VILI]

Ghivasha…

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

I do, I do, I do, I do!

[VILI]

I’ve never felt so-

[DIS]

Yeah! Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

My life is looking fine ‘cos my Dis is in it.

[DIS]

I look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m-

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless! Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[DWARROWDAMS]

A new beginning in a new land.

A new beginning in a new land.

A new beginning in a new laaaaand….

[DIS]

Helpless…

Okay but Dis singing ‘Helpless’ and it’s about the first time she ever met Vili

OOOH YES YES THAT YES (based on my little Fris ficlet!)


[DIS]
I have never been the type to use my name to get ahead
Went out to the marketplace to buy my family some bread
Bored out of my skull and trying not to feel the gloom
Then you spoke up and my heart went “Boom!”
Tryin’ not to laugh as you’re joking and styling
Everybody’s frowning and I know I’m smiling

[DIS AND WOMEN]
Oh, he’s a nobody but oh he’s fine

[DIS]
Deep inside, there’s a whisper,
“Yo, this
One’s mine.”

You realise just who it is you’re talking to,
And I got nervous, thinking “What’s he gonna do?”
You spot my mother’s cloak, I’m thinkin’ “I’m through”

Then you smile up at me and

suddenly I’m
Helpless!

[DIS]

Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now.

Look around, look around…

[THORIN]

How long have you known?

[DIS]

A month or so.

[THORIN]

Namadith, you should have told me.

[DIS]

That’s why I sent that raven a month ago.

[THORIN]

No!

[DIS]

And I told you to come home.

[THORIN]

You should have told me…

[DIS]

I’m not sorry.

…I knew you’d go until the search was done..

[THORIN]

Adad’s still gone…

[DIS]

But you must meet your brand new sister-son.

Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.

[THORIN]

Do you relish living in exile and strife?

No Mountain to provide for your life?

[DIS]

We relish being in your life.

Look around, look around…

Look at where you are, look at where you started.

The fact that you’re alive is a miracle.

Just stay alive, and that would be enough.

And if this child has a part of Vili’s smile

Or a fragment of my mind, then look out world!

That would be enough.

I don’t pretend to know, the challenges you’re facing

The memories replaying, unrelenting in your mind.

But I’m not afraid.

I know you, Nadadel.

So long as you come home by the end of the day,

That would be enough.

We don’t need this legacy

We don’t need money.

If we could grant you peace of mind…

If you could let me inside your heart!

Oh, let us be a part of the narrative

In the story they will write someday.

Let this moment be the first chapter

Where you decide to stay,

And they could be enough.

And we could be enough.

That would be enough.


*wibbles until I fall over in a heap, clutching heart and whimpering* @culturalrebel god i hope you’re satisfied

I had an unexpected free lesson today at work 🙂 soooo I decided to bust out my belting chops (it’s been a little while!). Lyrics by @culturalrebel​, initially posted here, also below the cut.

This is Dis, facing Thorin’s grave, still raw with grief and fury. 

[DIS]

I knew my children like I know my mind…

You could never find Dwarves so devoted and so blind!

I loved my children more than anything in this life!

And I chose their happiness over mine every time!

Put what we had aside!

Damn this Mountain and our pride!

You could never be satisfied!

Thorin, are you satisfied?!
