Gloin and Dwalin totally go be old coots together. They grumble and snark and judge people.

YES. 

I love the idea that eventually, the Royal Council just has these two old totally-unshockable, completely unflappable bastards sitting on it. And everytime someone says, ‘this is a catastophe!’ or the like, they’d glance and each other and snort very, very loudly. 

Because what do these idiots know about catastrophes?!?

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*

AUGH HOW HOW FISHY 

HOW do you ART SO FAST AND SO GORGEOUS

it is heartbreaking and amazing and I ADORE IT AUGH AUGH BOFURRRRRRRRR’S FAAAAAAAACE

Since we have no idea what Groin was doing during Azanulbizar, I posit that he was with the combat healers, as was Oin (if Dain and Dwalin and Gloin were there). It was one of Groin’s greatest regrets that he was on the opposite side of the field when his wife, brother and sister-in-law died, even though he knows he couldn’t have saved them. Groin then found himself with four dwarflings (his sons and nephews) to take care of by himself, while stopping his cousin Thrain from doing anything stupid

AUGH NO

Dwalin’s kids seem to be appropriately named, even if they were named in honor of his friends and family. Wee Thorin and his Thorin II worthy scowls, Frerinith is cheerful like Frerin himself is, and Balinith has Balin’s focus on a project, admittedly amplified. I’m not saying that they’re carbon copies, but it’s kind of neat that they each have traits similar to their namesake.

They do! I love that you like that about them! Yes, I deliberately injected a couple of similarities. 😉

Though Wee Thorin is the exasperated, put-upon, voice-of-reason friend (I think if he were on tumblr his most-used tag would be ‘GIMIZH NO’ – and Gimizh would answer gleefully ‘GIMIZH YES’), he does have a very mighty scowl!

Balinith is nowhere near as silver-tongued or diplomatic or even as gregarious as his namesake…. but he is very very good at getting to the bottom of things. 

And Frerinith is a bubbly, sunny little fellow, yes – but he is also a bossy little boots and very imperious. He loves to get his own way!

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.)
