I aged him down a bit. 😉

Dori is totally the reason that all the kids call all royalty “mister king” or “mistress queen” or even “honoured sov’rin”. Dori is all “mister ironfoot” and mister Stonehelm and all the kids picked it up. This also extends to foreign royalty? Gimizh keeps calling Thranduil “mister elf-king” and Everyone’s trying to not to look at Thranduil. Also Aragorn is mister king man.

I am imagining Aragorn’s face at being called ‘Mister King Man’ and trying not to cry with laughter.

He would be so wtffffff gimli why what the actual heck is this name now why are the small Dwarves calling me this weird thing

Gimli would likely shrug a bit and say, well you won’t notice another name, considering how many you’ve already got, will you Laddie?

@gimleafanatic wanted Gimli in autumn colours for the colours meme.

Gimli seems like the kind of person who would give his friends those hugs where he’d try to pick them up and spin them around but he’s so short that it doesn’t always end well

The Lord of the Rings Meme | ten scenes (2/10)

Farewell to Lórien.

This is my favorite fucking scene.

If you’ve read the Silmarillion, you know who Fëanor was. If you don’t, Fëanor was the dickhead who created the Silmarils: three indescribably beautiful and magical jewels that contained the light and essence of the world before it became flawed. They were the catalyst for basically every important thing that happened in the First Age of Middle Earth.

It is thought that the inspiration for the Silmarils came to Fëanor from the sight of Galadriel’s shining, silver-gold hair.

He begged her three times for single strand of her beautiful hair. And every time, Galadriel refused him. Even when she was young, Galadriel’s ability to see into other’s hearts was very strong, and she knew that Fëanor was filled with nothing but fire and greed.

Fast forward to the end of the Third Age.

Gimli, visiting Lorien, is also struck by Galadriel’s beauty. During the scene where she’s passing out her parting gifts to the Fellowship, Galadriel stops empty-handed in front of Gimli, because she doesn’t know what to offer a Dwarf. Gimli tells her: no gold, no treasure… just a single strand of hair to remember her beauty by.

She gives him three. Three.

And this is why Gimli gets to be an Elf Friend, people. Because Galadriel looks at him and thinks he deserves what she refused the greatest Elf who ever lived—- and then twice that. And because he has no idea of the significance of what she’s just given him, but he’s going to treasure it the rest of his life anyway.

Just look at that smile on Legolas’s face in the last panel. He gets it. He knows the backstory. And I’m pretty sure this is the moment he reconsiders whether Elves and Dwarves can’t be friends after all.

Everyone look at this great fucking post

There are posts and then there are posts

Not to mention that Gimli is super polite and bashful about it. He’s all “I’m not expecting you to give it, my lady, but you asked me to name what my heart desires, and I’d like one hair from your golden head but srsly, not expecting you to give it to me~” and like he’s just so sweet and adorable and shy and honestly I love that scene so much!!!

I was just reminded why re-reading Sansukh is bad for my heart. Reached the point where the hobbits are asking about who makes dwarves if it’s not dwarrowdams, and Gimli’s chuckling over his plan to tell Bombur and Alris, about Alris being a craftswoman in creating dwarves. I thought ‘they’re going to love to hear that when Gimli finally gets back to the mountain’, and then I went….oh :'(

Me: *grins* heh, thank you Nonnie 🙂

*continues to read*

OH.

OH YEAH, THAT.

OUCH OUCH THAT – OKAY YEAH OUCH WHOOPS SORRY

Gimris will have her revenge on Gimli for setting thise blasted elves on her… (why yes Gimizh, you look so handsome in uncle Gimli’s clothes, here try this on cue fashion show montage)

HAHAHAHAHA oh god, she totally TOTALLY would. Take THAT, nadad, you troll-brained twit.

(work it, Gimizh!)

?? Is this a reference I should be getting, my memory is as full of holes as fishnet stockings, please help the dumb old lady out?

Eek I was just imagining him sassing Gimli while sitting in a old chair and knitting like an old sassy grandpa

Sassy Grandpa Thorin then ruining the moment by being all “shit I dropped a stitch” and scrambling to fix it.

@jilydeathmonth I’m so glad we envisioned the same thing tbh
