OH MY GOD MATCHY MATCHY ELF AND BABY DORF.
my fave part of this is Gloin, tbh. Imagining him going into a corner to screech between his teeth for a solid five seconds. Then coming back calmly and saying, “you’re wearin’ the belt upside-down. But… y’ look… decent. Well done.”
OH YIKES AHAHAHAHA
Phew, so I just spent time looking this up ok, I am pretty certain this is correct… And Thranduil is just the father of Gimizh’s uncle by marriage. It’s a fairly distant relationship, really.
There’s no special name that I can find. It appears that most folks call their uncle-in-law’s dad/mum by their name, or a nickname.
‘Great-uncle’ /‘grand-uncle’ refers to the sibling of your grandparents, apparently.
(marvel at my MS Paint magic k)
So yeah, pretty obscure/distant sort of relationship.
God I have to say I’ve been having to worst couple of weeks, and just a few paragraphs into the new chapter of Sansukh and these two little shits show up and make everything so much better
So I tried drawing them, not my best work but I still think its pretty damn cute
OH MY GOD
THEY’RE
SO CUTE
I LOVE THEM THANK YOU SO SO SO SOSOOOOO MUCH!!
Hey! I just wanted to say that I love Sansûkh! It has helped encourage me in so many ways! So I crocheted Gimli, Gimizh, and Laerophen! I hope that you are doing well and taking care of yourself! Please take all the time you need!
Me: *goggling in awe, many fish-faces, all the choked-off exclamations of amazement*
OH MY FUCKIGH:KSJHGFHSI
That. is amazing. That is knitting sorcery. I AM GOGGLING. Boggling, even!!! WOW, holy heck – alkdjgflajh SERIOUYSLY. Gimli’s brilliant beard, their cute lil rounded-off feet, eyes and wee belts and tunics and scrollwork and wristguards, oh my!! (Want, want want) you are absolutely wonderful, what a huge project, they are beautiful – what an achievement, THEY’RE SO CUTE I WANNA ARMY OF THEM
@fuckthisimgoingtoerebor, @heuristicdevice, @culumacilinte – LOOK. LOOOOOOOK.
@searchtheruinsfortrapdoors – thank you SO. SO. MUCH. this is amazing!
so I’ve done this once already, but what the hey 🙂 I got tagged by the lovely @emsiecat! Thank you, you wonderful person you!!
I’ve already done seven(ish) lines from page 7, so here we go: here’s 7 from up near the beginning of the chapter so far!
Thror, watching, was able to see the quick expression of
gladness that crossed Laindawar’s stern face as it pressed against his
brother’s shoulder.“How has your head fared, honeg?” he said, briskly. “I see
your time amongst the Naugrim has not cured you of your ridiculous height.”Laerophen’s brows knitted. “And you are as short and
disagreeable as ever, honeg,” he said. “Do not call them that.”Laindawar blinked, but his surprise was hidden in an
instant. “Very well, I shall not.”“He’s weirder than you ever were,” came a small whisper by Laerophen’s knee, and the tall elf smiled again.
“That is only to be expected. He is my older brother, young
one, and to be odd is a family trait, we are told.”Laindawar was not able to conceal his shock quite so neatly
this time, as the small slightly-grubby hand of Gimizh rose and tugged at
Laerophen’s tunic. “Can you tell me about them? I dun have a brother or
sister.”
I hope you like the lil sneaky peek!
this time around I’m tagging @diemarysues, @gimleafanatic, @punsbulletsandpointythings, @asparklethatisblue, @bead-bead, @bubbysbub, and whoever else wants to have a turn!!
No worries, Nonnie! Happy to help!
Here’s the answer, written aaaaaall the way back when.
The side-fic I am referring to in that answer is ‘Cry Uncle’ btw. I should warn for discussion of childbirth as well as SADNESS GALORE for this fic – but it does include some cute Gimizh, and Gimli and Gimris being loving/bickering siblings, teeny Fili as a Total Sweetiepie, and Gimli as Uncle Extraordinaire 😀
Hi Nonnie!
Welp, that’s SORT of been answered… obliquely, anyway. Check out this snippet from Gimris’ bio:
Gimrís is a journeyman glassblower and a master healer who trained under the direction of her uncle Óin. She married Bofur son of Bomfur, and bore one child: a son, Gimizh. In her old age, her brother handed over the lordship of the Glittering Caves of Helm’s Deep (Sindarin: Aglarond, Rohirrim: Súthburg) to Gimrís and her line.
So yeah. Um. Gimizh Cookie-Thief, Lord of the Glittering Caves, is a Thing. I’ve even given a little detail on how that’s all going to pan out!
(Bofur is still sort of ‘WAIT WHAT, but I’m just a common Broadbeam miner??? HOW.’ about the whole thing, lmao)
This is a gift-fic for @determamfidd. There’s an additional shout-out for all the people who are working on the Sansukh podfic.

Yes, I have plans! I certainly will have to handle the situation with care and forethought, but PLANS ARE A-PLOTTED 😀
