AUGH HOW HOW FISHY 

HOW do you ART SO FAST AND SO GORGEOUS

it is heartbreaking and amazing and I ADORE IT AUGH AUGH BOFURRRRRRRRR’S FAAAAAAAACE

In the same vein of Dori’s similarities to Mrs Weasley, I’m imagining Nori and Ori watching him harangue the other dwarves whilst preparing for the siege and just rolling their eyes. “The idiots are letting him get into his stride. You need to head him off early or he just builds up this head of steam and rants for hours… look, they can’t even dodge the hanky. Useless lot.”

HAHAHA – oh, what about Ori and Nori marking each Dwarf out of ten for Dori-management?

“Eight out of ten, not bad. Brought out the tea and everything. Lost points for arguing. Waste o’ time, that.”

“Oh, what a colossal twit. Three out of ten. Tried to pick him up. And stared at his bottom. Absolutely deserved that punch – and the fussing afterwards.”

If you’re gonna have a sansukh orcistra you should have a sansukh choir too

Actually – we do! 😀

The podfic is having a choir sing the songs that I have scattered through the fic (please pinch me, I am still overwhelmed by all this). The music director is the lovely notanightlight. Auditions for the choir are now closed. sorry. But I can’t wait to hear the finished product!! It is going to be stupendous! SO MANY VOICES, so many wonderful people, all singing Dwarven songs together, how awesome is thattttt

Why is There Not More of This? Part 12.

Decent AUs set in the Iron Hills. Or just anything set in the Iron Hills where it’s a nice place to live. Almost everything I read that does have it either has some horrible shit go down there, or makes it seem like a terrible place filled with terrible people in general.

Boo.

And for that matter, how about some Orocarni AUs besides the SINGLE ONE I’VE EVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND? SERIOUSLY. PEOPLE WHO LOOK FOR OROCARNI AUS CONSTANTLY KNOW WHICH I MEAN. Written by someone whose name rhymes with ‘pain fudder dudder’. And how about some Dunland AUs where we see what life was like for the Longbeards after Smaug punched his way into the Lonely Mountain?

A N D  A G L A R O N D  A U S?

I love well written Erebor AUs, I do. They rock! But there’s so damn many, and they’re all either political intrigue or Flip This Mountain where 90% of it is just Dwarves fixing up the mountain and like THE DALE FOLK ARE NEVER SEEN AGAIN APPARENTLY.

And the Blue Mountains. Hnngh. I love all Dwarves, except those petty pricks, and all Dwarven places… but fuck the Blue Mountains. They don’t ever do anything! WHERE WERE THEY DURING THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES? OR THE WAR OF THE RING? WHY DOESN’T ANYONE EVER ASK WHY THEY NEVER HELPED OUT THE HOBBITS WHILE SARUMAN SCREWED THEIR SHIT UP IN THE SHIRE? THEY WERE RIGHT THERE!

Mandos and Aule sitting around chatting about all their dead tenants. Mandos keeps complaining about how Feanor keeps charring the carpets b/c he won’t hover his whole disembodied-flame thing high enough off the ground.

LOL, Valar having cathartic bitch-sessions over a drink (or nine, hahaha!)

“…won’t stop burning stuff, I swear to Eru, I’m going to have to resurface everything with fireproof material and install showers in all the ceilings.”

“Try gypsum, it’ll cut down on the damage. And ugh, I feel your pain, I’ve got one that trashes his room on a regular basis.”

“Don’t suppose you’d lend me some of your little guys? Resurfacing the whole of the Halls is going to take a lot of work….”

“Nah, they’re all watching Middle-Earth and taking bets on the outcome. They’re absolutely obsessed. Also, I’m not sure that adding Dwarves to the situation would cut down on all the uh, inflammatory incidents.”

“Fair point.”
