Gimris totally makes personalized little plant holders for all her favorite kids. They’re a special treat to get a new one.
OH PERFECTION!!!
Think about this: dwarven mountains usually have stripes of carefully tended bio-luminescent moss/litchen on walls or floors. They glow in the dark to light people’s way. There are gardeners specially charged with tending them, making sure they grow properly and fed.
OH LOVELY I LOVE IT
Bioluminescent plant nightlights. A+ for helping kids go to sleep, and good for lighting the way to the toilet at night without risking fire or stubbed toes.
OOOOH YES I LOVE ITTTTT
Pretty little glass containers for them, etched with cheerful patterns or stars, so that the child can look at it while they drift off to sleep ❤
Felt like drawing a dwarrowdam. Was inspired by determamfidd but I have no idea which of your glorious ladies this was supposed to be. 🙂
Thorin drabble is bonus. Shire au.
OH THESE CUTIES ❤ Thank you so much, Nina!
random thought of the day: I bet modern au dwarves would take SO MANY BABY PICTURES. omg proud dwarf parents all over your Facebook feed just gushing over their kids <33
“…and here’s Wee Thorin in the bath when he was only ten months old!”

Hey dets! How old is Frerin in our human comparison? I always imagine him being like, 13 or something. Am I getting it right? And how old were Thorin and Dis when he died?
Oh hey Nonnie!
Okay, I’ve blabbed quite a bit about this before – but it’s actually really hard to do a human comparison for Dwarven aging, for two reasons… 1. Tolkien never really gave us a definitive answer, and 2. Dwarves age differently to Men. From all I have read I am getting the impression that they grow bodily to maturity relatively fast, may mature slower emotionally and mentally (there has to be a reason why Gimli was too young to join the Quest at 62yo), and enjoy a veeeeeery long vigorous adulthood without much change until they crumble all at once at around 250yo. I think? Anyway, that’s how I’m writing it.
I consider Frerin, at 48, to be nearly physically mature… he’s taller than a Hobbit, his beard is filled in. But he’s still smaller and slighter than a fully-grown Dwarf. Emotionally, he’s around 15. Mentally though – he has existed for 200+ years, he’s actually quite wise when he puts his mind to it.
Thorin was 53 at the time of Azanulbizar. Dis was 39.

do you think steven universe would be popular with dwarves? i mean, it’s a cartoon about sentient rocks from outer space
I expect they would love that!
I haven’t seen it, sorry Nonnie. I like the stuff I’ve seen here on tumblr about it, though!
The Ris and the Urs probably work on organizing big campaigns after Erebor is reclaimed for kid health and happiness. Because although kids are important for everyone, means can be limited, and every kid deserves to have enough to eat, warm clothes, and such.
I think that each of the Company would have had their special fields, in which they contributed. I’ve mused a bit about this before! It’s a great idea, Nonnie!
The Urs would especially understand. Because the Ris weren’t badly off, before – they were middle-class. But the Urs? were legitimately poor.
