I am rereading Sansukh for the *cough* time, and I am currently very amused at Gimli referring to Ori as “dear little Ori” when Ori is about a decade older than he is. Poor Ori, forever destined to be seen as the little one even when he’s grown up ^^

Gimli is being such a twit there – he hasn’t seen Ori in twenty-five years, so his memory of Ori is of a Dwarf younger than he is now, hahaha! Ori was 127 when he died, and at the time of LOTR, Gimmers is 140.

(but he really should give Ori some more credit. GIMLI. *shakes head* I adore you, but really!)

I’m thrilled you enjoy it so much, Nonnie! Thank you!

It is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues, yet that is not true of Gimli. For none have ever made to me a request so bold and yet so courteous…I do not foretell, for all foretelling is now vain: on the one hand lies darkness, and on the other only hope. But if hope should not fail, then I say to you, Gimli son of Glóin, that your hands shall flow with gold, and yet over you gold shall have no dominion.

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!

Did Gimizh ever get that Gimli toy from Bombur from “little wild one?”

Yes, he did actually. It has red fuzzy woollen hair, a grey knitted mail-shirt, and a tiny little axe. Bombur even articulated the joints, so it can be posed. Toy-Gimli’s face is set in a big smile, and he has boots that can be taken off and put back on again! Gimizh ADORES it, and makes it sing naughty songs when his mother isn’t in earshot.

bet Gimizh is wishing he’d asked for a Bombur-doll now aha ouch

“With hope or without hope we will follow the trail of our enemies. And woe to them, if we prove the swifter! We will make such a chase as shall be accounted a marvel among the Three Kindreds: Elves, Dwarves, and Men. Forth the Three Hunters!”
