Imagine all of the Dwarfling troupe, having tea with Dis. The kids are all wearing fancy dresses from Mizim’s stash of dressup clothes, and they’re arguing who’s the prettiest princess (or, as Frerinith says, the pwettiest pwincess). Dis solves the argument by saying in her most deadpan voice that she’s the prettiest princess. Of course.

Awwww, Nonnie, that is absolutely gorgeous! Mizim DEFINITELY would have a dress-ups box, and Dis is DEFINITELY the prettiest princess. (though Gimizh is totally working his dress like a pro)

Gimizh asking ALL the questions about Oin and it’s generally sad and awkward for everyone.

OUCH, NONNIE.

because Gimli will be coming home with the Book of Mazarbul. And ofc everyone will finally find out why the Moria colony has been silent, and that they’re dead, all of them. How they died twenty years ago, and nobody knew.

And Dori and Gloin and Dwalin will be mourning, and their families too, and Gimli, who has had time to come to terms with this (well, a bit, in-between fighting for his life/running across Middle-Earth/falling in love with dumb Elves) will hear a small voice pipe up with, “Who’s Oin?”

And oh, the look on Gloin’s face would hurt. Because Gimizh will never know the clever, funny, generous, boisterous, gruff old fellow who taught Gimli how to walk in a mine, how to play a jug, how to dress and clean a wound in the field.

Gimizh will never know the person who inspired his mother to become a healer.

(aaaaand on that note, Balin son of Dwalin will never meet the Dwarf he is named for. ohgod oh ouch)

AUGH. It’s too early for these feels, Nonnie.

“…an’ then we had bandage races!”

“Did you, now?”

“Uh-huh. But Frerin tripped an’ started cryin’, so we wrapped ‘im up in the bandages t’ make ‘im stop.”

“I’m sure your mother was thrilled with that one, laddie.”

“It was Balin’s idea!”

I absolutely love little Gimizh from Sansûkh by @determamfidd! I decided to try my hand at drawing dwarrow and came up with this. Everyone talks about Gimizh with Gimli, Gimris, Bofur, Bombur, Dís, etc., but never with his bear of a granddad, which is what the world desperately needs. This scene would be taking place just after Glóin’s return to Erebor after the Council of Elrond and references an incident from Little Wild One, a fic in Sansûkh’s Appendices.

(I made his hair a little less full than how he looks in the movie because I feel like as he aged, his hair wouldn’t grow as much, so while he still has a lot more than most, it’s getting thinner. I think he looks a bit like a dwarven Santa, tbh.)

poesiariptide:

Fanart of Merilin and Laerophen (ft. Gimizh) from determamfidd’s incredible, astounding Sansûkh. I love this scene (just before Baris sings the Cradle-Song) so much in all its heartbreaking glory.

lsdjsgfsaljha!!!
