my partner tried to call me a sweetheart the other day but he misspelled it and I read it as “sweetbeard” and then I decided that this is what dwarf couples call each other

so, naturally, here are two dwarves on a date

Cute headcanon for if Dori makes it past the war of the ring: his parental instincts go into overdrive upon news of royal baby. Thorin and Bomfris get enough (beautiful) knitted baby things for three babies. Dori also babysits baby Durin on occasion when her parents are busy.

awwwwwwww!!!

(and if he sings old songs he never thought he’d sing again, and thinks of another baby when he holds the little one, well. That’s hardly surprising.)

Balinith has a longstanding issue with squares (the formal finger-food snacks) because most people cut them into rectangles yet continue to call them squares. This is especially notable since all squares are rectangles – but not all rectangles are squares!

PFFFT

Oh, poor Balinith. People are so dumb.

Gimli continues the tradition of dolls of awesome family members to all of his human friends. Aragorn and Arwen’s kids get some sweet-ass dolls (Isildur, Galadriel, Elrond, etc). Faramir & Eowyn’s kids and Eomer and Lothiriel’s kids get a lot of the same ones – Boromirs and Theodens (+ Snowmane), Cirion and Eorl dolls, various other cool Kings & Stewards. Unsurprisingly, no Denethor doll. Also feat. many Mearas horses – Elfwine’s Eomer/Firefoot set is poseable and they can ride together.

HORSES YES HORSE DOLLS

(Freda gets ALL OF THEM, and makes ‘clip clop’ noises as she gallops them all over her long-suffering brother)

❤ I love these a lot, Nonnie, ahhhh!

I’m imagining the Stonehelm making sweets very seriously to impress his lady love. Mixing ingredients with Dwarven precision. Making sure that it all looks attractive (the icing was applied with mathematical precision). He also takes her sweet tea and lemonade so she can have a cold drink on a hot summer day.

*clutches heart* *keels over* what a sweetheart!

Oh, a thought! Thorin Stonehelm would (very nervously) talk to Bomfris’ brother Barur – even though he’s royalty, Barur Stonebelly is NOT one to approach lightly when he’s in his kitchen! – and ask for a little help, perhaps a few pointers in the right direction? Please?

Barur would purse his lips and grunt. “Right, stand there, mix that,” he would command.

And that’s how the Crown Prince of Erebor ended up with icing in his eyebrows.

Somewhere in the background Wee Thorin is planning the biggest pie heist in the history of Erebor. Feat. Balinith because Balinith respects pie. Pie is not only delicious and nutritious, but shares its name and demonstrates an important mathematical concept.

Pie is not only delicious and nutritious, but shares its name and demonstrates an important mathematical concept.

I AM CRYING THAT IS EFFING HILARIOUS OMFG

The Stonehelm (lovelorn goober that he is) totally makes sweets and candy for Bomfris. Especially things that she can take up to the Raven heights and keep for snacking.

MEEP SO CUTE MEEP MEEP MEEP

Gingerbread Dain with one foot covered in grey fondant patterned to look like his Ironfoot. (Dain, in a fit of black humour, always eats this part of the cookie first) Gingerbread Dwalin with a dragee eye.

AWWWWWWWWlkzjsdgfajshfdsajhdas

Gingerbread Dwarves, augh I love it!

Dwarves totally make gingerbread, esp. in the shape of people. Maybe especially for Durin’s Day? Barur’s crew are always busy making and icing a ton of the things in preparation.

OH GOD I LOVE GINGERBREAD OM NOM NOM NOM NOM

hattedhedgehog:

I felt like doodling a dwarf lady (she’s probably relaxing after training practice or something)
