So Laerophen tells Gimizh some stories of Legolas being a silly little kid, figuring what’s the harm, the odds of them meeting are so slim…. as it happens, they all end up in the Mountain because Life Happens. Gimizh (bless his little mischief heart) asks Legolas if it’s true that he once wrapped up a baby bird in Kind Thranduil’s favorite robe, only for the bird to poop all over it … in front of the whole family. Legolas gave Laerophen such a stink-eye. Gloin laughed and laughed.

Brother, I will kill you.

(Baased on a True Story) Once Gimizh got into Gimris’ coffee. And of course this wasn’t some really light everyday coffee, this is “9 pm and I have to go to an unexpected medical emergency” coffee, brewed with faaaar too many beans per the amount of water, no cream, and half the sugar bowl tossed in for good measure. Gimizh was still awake – and twitching – when Gimris got back late the next morning, having delivered a baby who was Not Supposed to Arrive then.

omfg Nonnie, dear lord that would have been… an experience. In fact, it sounds like it would have been several Experiences put together. O.O 

GIMIZH ON ROCKET-FUEL COFFEE SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING THOUGH

Gimizh totally has a sheet of rewards for jobs and stuff. Some are easily obtainable – putting his clothes away without being asked is worth one cookie. Some are challenging – do all homework without complaining for a week, 5 cookies. Some are very, very difficult for a little dwarfling, such as not getting caught stealing cookies from Barur for a whole week – 10 cookies!!!

AWWWWWW

one day, Gimizh. One day, Barur will not catch you… but it is not this day! (THAT DWARROW HAS EYES ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, IT ISN’T FAAAAIR)

Little Gimizh having a “God of Cake” moment about cookies. Probably at Dis’ birthday party. It’s adorable. Wee Thorin tried to contain him but had to give up because there’s only so much that can be done about tiny sugar-fuelled dwarflings.

OMFG though – the ‘God of Cake’ isn’t exactly adorable (though it is hysterical!!!) and I can totally see Gimizh having a sugar-induced feeding frenzy complete with being sick and tantrums and howling… all the while secure in the knowledge that HE WON. THE. COOKIES. Take that!

IT’S [cue liberty bell march] HEADCANONPALOOZA PART TEN!

OH OUCH @ THAT DAIN HC. OUCH. OUUUUCH i love it

And my own Duchess has a bit of a foot fetish herself! She rubs her head against feet and shoes obsessively. It makes getting up a little tricky sometimes, because you’re just. Um. Okay, kitty, you do you.

AAAAH OMFG OF COURSE, GIMIZH IS TOTALLY PONYO *sings* Gimizh, gimizh gimizh, child of Erebor, tiny little Dwarfling, the terror we adore!

Oh! I love the practice-piercings idea too – does anybody remember those magnetic earrings that were around a gigazillion years ago? I bet Dwarves make use of stuff like that!

(omg everybody, I just got back from swimming with my Dwarfling…and my inbox has asploded again! I love you all, tremendously. But pretty pretty please can we maybe scale it back to one headcanon per person per day? I would like to give them all more time, you see!)

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9 

AARGH – these all turned up in the LAST DAY, and you know what that means? *puts detective hat on. dons monocle* I POSIT THAT @kailthia IS AT IT AGAIN, DISTRIBUTING CUTE HEADCANONS WITH RECKLESS ABANDON, EXHIBITING A TRULY OUTRAGEOUS GENEROSITY AND KINDNESS

so, this is now headcanonpalooza part 7! We all need some sweetness and shmoop to start our new year ❤

(Thank you, K! *snuggles*)

The first 6 installments are here:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6 (I thoroughly recommend reading through them, they never fail to bring a smile!)

how will Gimizh react when he learns that Laerophen will be his uncle-in-law (as legolas is gimli’s One)?

Ooooh, spoilerishness! 

Although, what I can reveal is that Gimizh utterly adores and hero-worships his uncle and is very proprietary over his affection and time, like so many small children are (see Cry Uncle: Gimli is his troll). 

Gimizh ALSO loves Laerophen with complete sunny abandon – well, when he’s not bein’ weird and formal and stiff.

Warning: Small child with conflicting emotions ahoy. 🙂

Serious Question Time: How many times has Gloin said some version of “No, Gimizh, we’re not allowed to play with toy ponies on the Council table. Or on the filing cabinets. Under the Council table is fine, as long as there’s no yelling.” Dain just loves it. He has a stash of toys kept in the Council chambers for kids with members to play with – ostensibly to keep them busy, but also because it’s refreshing to go and play with the littles during break times.

Gloin would have probably said ‘No, Gimizh’ a zillion gigajillion times… and then would have watched indulgently as Gimizh proceeded to do whatever it was anyway, all the while remarking upon his grandchild’s skill and cleverness and boldness. BC Gloin is suuuuuch a soft grandpa. The very softest and fluffiest.

PPPFT DAIN WOULD.
