SLOW DOWN THERE SATAN
Tag: dori
Just. Gimli having to tell Gloin and Dori and Dwalin that their brothers are definetly dead and Dori that Ori isn’t properly buried under stone and Gloin that Oin might well never be properly buried because he not only is underwater but got eaten. :(

AUGH NONNIE
welp. my heart is no longer mine. neither is my soul. heart goes to the dwarves, and the soul goes to you. am I ever gonna be over Bofur and Dori and Dwalin and Dís being the last of their families? nope. am I ever gonna be over the craddle song? nope. but it will join ‘the iron hills for me’ as ‘songs that hurt me but i’ll sing them to my cousins anyway because they seem to like it and it lulls them into a nap while i cry’
(AND GLOIN REMEMBER GLOIN TOO)
Awwwww! Thank you so much, Nonnie – also, I feel like I should send you a Custard too eep. *hugs and blankets and furry puddy tats*

In the same vein of Dori’s similarities to Mrs Weasley, I’m imagining Nori and Ori watching him harangue the other dwarves whilst preparing for the siege and just rolling their eyes. “The idiots are letting him get into his stride. You need to head him off early or he just builds up this head of steam and rants for hours… look, they can’t even dodge the hanky. Useless lot.”
HAHAHA – oh, what about Ori and Nori marking each Dwarf out of ten for Dori-management?
“Eight out of ten, not bad. Brought out the tea and everything. Lost points for arguing. Waste o’ time, that.”
“Oh, what a colossal twit. Three out of ten. Tried to pick him up. And stared at his bottom. Absolutely deserved that punch – and the fussing afterwards.”
Wee Thorin totally goes and helps Dori with chores and things, and gets a bit of pie before he goes home. Dori enjoys trying new pie on Wee Thorin, especially with new types of fruits, either fresh, dried, or otherwise preserved.
OM NOM NOM
(I now want pie… although here a pie is less about fruit and more about meat and cheese and bacon lol)
Ladies and Gentledwarves!
(and those who are neither, both, or a vague wiggly hand-gesture and a ‘ehhhhh’ noise):
We are pleased to introduce the actrexes for Dori, Lóni, and Náli!
Dori- docmanda (Doc Manda)
Lóni- youarebeingshaggedbyarareparrot (Rare Parrot)
Náli- inkbotkowalski (Inkbot Kowalski)
We will be sending out emails before the rest of the characters are announced (and don’t worry, we haven’t started casting the others yet: auditions are still open!)
Congrats, you three, and welcome aboard. To everyone else, best of luck with the coming auditions!

SHRIEK
HELLO HELLO DORI LONI AND NALIIIIII HELLO OMFG
Happy headcanon: Dwalin totally writes back and forth with Bilbo, has done so for years. He lets his kids put in a bit of stuff as well. Frerin scribbles, maybe puts an “F,” Balinith goes on about his newest project (currently growing beans), and Wee Thorin talked about his pie heist for half a page.
I like to think that Dori, Dwalin, Gloin and Bofur & Bombur write to Bilbo on the regular 🙂
(Bombur and Bofur write theirs together!)
Bilbo would giggle at Dwalin’s letters, particularly at Wee Thorin’s descriptions. He knows a young Took who would get on with this Gimizh like a house on fire. Screaming, smoke, people running away – that sort of thing.
(He’d absolutely write back with a few pointers for Balinith, possibly after a little chat with Hamfast.)
Now I’m imagining Gloin and Bombur and Dwalin conspiring to have a kid visit Dori and Dis at least every second day so that they know that they had at least one nice conversation. Even if it’s about someone bringing her a pie (Barur), talking about the amount of dirty socks left in someone’s bed (Gimizh), or the bean plant which finally sprouted (Balinith).

OH NOONNNIIIEEEEE
Dwalin totally sics Frerin on Dori when he sees Dori being especially sad about his brothers. Because the cuddly, curious little dwarfling reminds Dori of another little one, but helps distract him more.
AWWWWW
LOVE IT, YES YES, CUDDLY LITTLE FRERINITH BEING A TINY GUIDED MISSILE OF CHEER
