Sorry if you’ve answered this somewhere, but is there a reason Gimizh is an only child? Like did Gimrís and Bofur look at their little terror and mutually decide “no more” or is that just how things worked out for them?

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 😀

Headcanon question: which of his kin might Gimli choose to rule Aglarond after he and Legolas sail?

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)
