Hi, Dets! I was wondering if you think any of the dwarves are actually really bad with kids? Since there seems to be so much value placed on family and on caring for young ones especially, I imagine it would be really difficult if you were a dwarf who not only didn’t want to have your own family, but really disliked being around dwarflings in general, or didn’t want to ever be in charge of caring for them.

*shrug* I’m sure there are, Nonnie! But I doubt that, in the sort of society I have set up, they’d be censured for it. I have made it so that each individual can pursue their own agendas and interests without shame, basically – and this would absolutely include those Dwarves who have no inclination towards family or children.

I DO think that Dwarven society rejoices in children on the whole, though, thanks to their comparative rarity. I also think that the raising of children would be a far more communal affair than we have made usual in Australia and other westernised nations. Though the parent/s would be the main caregivers, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for a large and extended network of adults to be involved in the child’s life. They would have to choose to be part of the child’s life, though – nobody would be forced against their will.

It would be very frowned upon to speak ill of children. Innocents (even annoying ones) do not deserve the scorn and belittlement of adults – no matter how much they dislike them.

There are HEAPS of arenas and callings and places where such a Dwarf could be happy and never ever come into contact with children. This is a society that also values occupation, after all. The guild system springs to mind! So do the forges, politics, trade, food, etc.

For poplitealqueen and all mixed race people who get shit everyday from outside and inside fandom. We are beautiful and powerful and our cultures are within us, as well as outside of us. Let’s write about awesome mixed race dwarves being proudly mixed race as fuck! Btw the character Ojal is pop so. 

ALSO YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE PUNCHLINE IF YOU READ MY PREVIOUS FICS JSYK

It was customary, after the birth of an Eastern Dwarven child outside of the Orocarni, for the parents to make that journey with them as soon as was comfortable – back to the mountains that they would always call ‘home’ in their hearts. Khalei and Jeri’s bright star had been born in late Winter, and they both decided that they would wait for the mighty rivers that would bear them across Rhun to thaw, and for the child to settle into life in the safety and warmth of Erebor.

fuckthisimgoingtoerebor:

Have a half-assed Gimizh cosplay. Feel free to ignore my nose studs, I think they’ve fused with my nostrils and I didn’t want to do myself an injury.

Still need to put wire in the braids to make them more sticky-outy, darken up my freckles because cameras wash me out like whoa, and get clothing appropriate for a dwarfling of Erebor.

Wig styled based on flukeoffate‘s gorgeous designs. Check them out here.

I had an irrepressible urge to draw Thorin Stonehelm (the way I imagined him in determamfidd’s Sansukh)… I liked the idea of him in blue but didn’t want
it to be the same kind of blue as Thorin Oakenshield’s so went for a
more green/grey-tinted blue. I really loved doing the details and armour etc! I so want to do this as cosplay now although I have no idea how to make armour 😛

(Poplitealqueen, I hope this cheers you up! 😀)

Through it all, Thorin waited patiently, hoping to get a glance of Uncle Nain’s son, but there was no dwarfling in sight. Perhaps he had misheard? Perhaps they didn’t have a son at all.

“And where’s Dain?” Freya asked, voicing Thorin’s concerns.

Aralia sighed, “He’s with the pigs,” disappointment lacing every word.

Screams echoed in the hall and Thorin spied a boar running through the crowd of dwarrows, a small, red headed dwarfling on its back.

here’s one of my pieces for the hobbit big bang, for andquitefrankly‘s story Golden!

For dain-mothafocka.

This is Khalei, her half-Firebeard half-Blacklock Dwarf OC from the Orocarni that is really damn cool. You can read a ficlet that has them in this post here.

The headscarf shown is known as a Kh’busi: a garb some of the Blacklock dwarves wear to show their family and Clan history. (This is only a taste of delish Orocarni headcanons, bet you thought it was canon!)

Seriously, Khalei is bae. Every day.

I can’t even fuuuuuuuuuuu

so good so so good so good I love this interpretation. that busi is fuckin a* so regal and majestic. 

and tHEIR HAIR. Wow. That’s next level hair. 

They look so intimidating but in a ‘you will never be this pretty’ way and so boss. no wonder Jeri was scared.
