OHHHH I LOVE EEEEET

Cute headcanon: you mentioned that Bomfris gave the Stonehelm a big deer as a courting present? Maybe Alris taught Bomfris a bit about tanning (useful for a hunter to know, more value added to sell a tanned skin, right?) and so as part of the gift Bomfris makes something out of some/all of the hide.
Oooh, that’s a good idea Nonnie! I bet Alris did teach her kids a thing or two about preserving hides… at least, I bet she taught them one or two tricks that other trappers and hunters don’t necessarily know, enough so that she could finish the job when they brought them home.
how do ya think stun guns/tasers would work on elves and dwarves in comparison to humans?
oh god, Nonnie. I will try? Bear in mind, I am no expert on HUMAN physiology (let alone fictional races), nor do I know a danged thing about tasers. I looked up some stuff to do this, and I cannot vouch for its veracity.
Sooo, apparently the effects of a taser momentarily ‘scramble’ communication between brain and muscles in a healthy human adult. The muscles’ energy stores of blood sugar are immediately converted into lactic acid, which means that the muscles are forced to do a lot of work in a very short time and are virtually exhausted, nearly instantaneously.
I would think that in a Dwarf, a taser would not necessarily affect them to the same degree. They are hardy after all, and their dense heavy muscles would not exhaust quite so readily. It would affect them though I suppose… perhaps it would send them to their hands and knees rather than dropping them flat to the floor. IDK!
Elves do not suffer physical hurt unless in battle or in emotional distress. They also heal at a remarkable rate. So I expect that an Elf would either a) shake it off like an irritating bug, or b) fall over but jump straight back up again, fully recovered.
*helpless shrug* this is very difficult! I did my best!
Thror is so proud of his grumpy fussy little wife. So many heart eyes.
SO PROUD. He is so incredibly proud of Hrera, it is something he can hardly contain at times. His fierce, queenly, regal, proud Hrera! Broadbeam to the core, harder than steel, enduring as the mountains, terrifying as a whole flock of dragons. And oh, her fussing – he missed it so, that fussing.
ace!Fili yes! please please please that would be so amazing! i mean of course, only if it works for the story you are telling. but know that it would mean so so so much to this little anon’s heart.
I’m still working it out, Nonnie! I’m glad you like the idea though – I’m fond of it myself!
Dwarf+Dwarf pairs from the Company, 1/?: Bombur+Gloin
Well. That’s a thing that I drew.
This. Just…THIS.
I posit that one of the things that made Hrera change her mind about Thror and Erebor was watching her arranged hubby-to-be play patty-cake with a friend’s toddler. She went “oh shit he’s cute!”
It is terribly, terribly attractive to me when a bloke is good with kids. Oooh yus, I like this headcanon Nonnie!
But when Gloin eventually goes into the Halls and hears Thorin calling Gimli my star or something like that things are gonna get awkward

Gimizh’s reaction to finding out he and Laerophen are related is going to be priceless.
