I talk a lot about representation. Women dwarves with beards is also a matter of what is being represented. It’s so easy to just conform to cis centric standards of female beauty and make dwarves hairless and not think about it. But like wouldn’t it be better to take what Tolkien gave us (women…

A Dwarf grandmother with a beard magnificent enough to keep her little grandchildren in. For dain-mothafocka
Things that confuse me:
Lady dwarves without beards.
(I’m planning on marrying this pen, we have such a good solid relationship and gosh diddly darnit it just works ok agghhh I’ve missed being able to make lines like this)
Bomris and Zhori totally have bonding moments over their kids. They put their feet up and drink the fancy tea Ori brought and talk, enjoying not having to work for a bit.
Aww!
I can totally see that happening in the Halls! I think they would have become good friends after death. But in life, Zhori was rather more well-to-do, and moved in different circles. She was a fairly comfortable weaver by trade.
Ohhhhh Kifur and Bomris are so sweet <3 I feel so sorry for Bomris, she has it so hard. She won my heart a little bit when she called Bifur "little magpie" because that is the cutest damn nickname for him.
Awwwwww! Thank you, Nonnie! Yes, Bomris has had a very hard life. All that crushing poverty has left her tired and resigned, but she keeps going. She loves her little magpie, oh so much. And Bifur is hugely protective of his diminutive, introverted, soft-spoken little mum.
Bomfrís Daughter of Alrís
(If you think this is her face when she sees Bombur ’s dead body in Chapter 35, you would be completely correct. Ow.)
One the many badass Dwarrowdams from Sansûkh by determamfidd.
I once knew someone with so many freckles they even had them on their lips, which I thought was downright beautiful. So, of course, I had to put them on freckled babe archer dwarf here.
Bomfrís is the bomb, pass it on.
Hope it’s to your liking, Dets!
AHHH MISS POP SHE IS BEAUTIFUL and also heartbreaking how very dare you
THAT SHADING ON HER HAIR? HER EYEYEYEYEYEYES!! BEARD YES YES BEARD! As a freckle-face myself I LOVE her freckles, omfg – yessssss! HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THIS? NEARLY AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU.
*tackleglomps*
Thank you thank you thank you FOREVER, you beautiful person!!
Do you know why Dis didn’t become Queen after Thorin, Fili, and Kili died? I love King Dain, don’t get me wrong, but it’s something that always bugged me. Thorin was the heir, because he was oldest, and he named Fili and Kili as his heirs. But wouldn’t Dis have been able to take the throne once the King and Princes died, as she was most closely related to all three?
I think it didn’t happen in the books for two reasons, myself: One: Sexism. i.e. “Dwarf-women in ME can’t inherit a crown!!!” Two: We don’t know when she died.
It pisses me off, also. That’s why I have her abdicate her place in the succession: I’d much prefer to think that she had been counted in the succession from the very beginning, but went her own way.
Request #4 and the last, for cydwarf! A lady dwarf taking a break on a journey. Maybe a sister of Gimli’s, based on her beard…?
my partner tried to call me a sweetheart the other day but he misspelled it and I read it as “sweetbeard” and then I decided that this is what dwarf couples call each other
so, naturally, here are two dwarves on a date
I felt like doodling a dwarf lady (she’s probably relaxing after training practice or something)
Aw Yiss
