Barur probably isn’t above a little wrangling of the Trouble Troupe when the need arises. Like, what do those foreign dignitaries like to eat? Send the cute kiddies in on a recon mission! The King forgot to mention how many people were going to be at a dinner meeting? Scout kiddo! A few fruit tarts and cookies are worth the intel.

Ooooohh yes! I have mentioned before that Barur is a pretty good, if impatient, kid wrangler (comes from being third of 12 kids). He’d definitely understand the power of bribes!

The image of Laerophen being a baby-dwarf magnet is kind of amusing. He probably goes and helps out with the kids a lot when he’s not doing war stuff? The littles are cute, and he can free up people for other work. Laerophen also likes telling stories and helping kids learn stuff.

He would too! He’d at first try to read from a book, I think – but the constant repetition of ‘why?’ would soon force him to throw it aside and make up his own epic yarns ❤

(suicide tw!) I was wondering about Sansukh- I just saw that “Sansukh: where you can’t wait for your favorite characters to die” post and was wondering what might happen to those dwarfs that agree with that and perhaps speed up the date of their death? Is their purpose still unfinished and they get reborn the way you said young dwarfs are? Or do they get reborn automatically? Or is it just a completely foreign notion to their species, because they’ll see everyone again anyway so why rush?

I think Mahal would judge that on a case-by-case basis. The slow, cool healing of the Halls might be just what these Dwarves need…

And I don’t really want to pursue that line any further, sorry.

Happy image for the day: Baby dwarves in baby bouncers. Tiny baby Stonehelm jiggling in a corner of Thira’s forge while she works. Scowly Wee Thorin bouncing and chewing on his fist in Dwalin’s office. Burbly Thrain reaching for a toy from his perch in the royal quarters. Gimizh knocks his over and tries to roll out of the wreckage.

Oooooh, that’s actually really dangerous – the Gimizh one, I mean. Kids have been injured by bouncers before – got to make sure they’re stable and can’t be knocked over. The free-standing ones are apparently safest, idek, there’s a lot of misinformation. 

I love the rest, though! SUCH CUTE IMAGES. Also, I bet Dwarves make super-safe bouncers that NEVER fall over, with hella toys and dangling rattles and spinny things and all sorts to keep tiny hands entertained. 

Durin bedhead probably expresses itself in a lot of ways. Gloin has a massive floof of beard. Wee Thorin’s mohawk looks even crazier, sticking up in all directions.

LOLOLOL!!

Oin resembling nothing quite so much as an English Sheepdog. Balin like a bag of feathers. Kili with half of it mashed against one side of his head, and the other half standing straight out. Fili like a haystack. Frerin like a (much smaller) haystack. Gimli recreating the Anna-wakes-up moment from Frozen.
