Oh man, Thranduil and Gloin at some sort of Mirkwood-Erebor-Dale event after the War. So much side-eye. such sass. Very awkward.

The thin streak of sour milk vs. the attack-shrub 😉

Tiny Gloin totally exploded something by accident after fooling around with some of Oin’s experiments. He had to go around for a few months with singed eyebrows and a short(er) beard.

alsdkjflahdgaljhaljhalha TEENY GLOIIIIIN

❤

The irritation of siblings, with science nerd Óin and bratty Glóin who keeps touching everything.

(One of the things I miss most from the movies is Óin and Glóin’s bickering. At one point in the book they have an actual fight over lighting fires and it’s gloriously petulant.)

Nori’s “Dori stashes” have all sorts of good things, like weaving and knitting supplies and tea. Also lots of Dori’s favorite types of booze. And Dori shares the hooch with Dwalin and Gloin, all three of them with long faces over their brothers,

Oh my god, you have unearthed a hitherto untapped source of NOPE

lacefedora:

determamfidd requested OOOOOH – even, Gloin and MIZIM in #20?

So here you go!

My Mizim is based a lot on how I draw Gimli lol. I hope you like it Dets!

hlskdjfhlskjghflsjglshgls DWARF POWER COUPLE FTW

They’re gorgeous, I love them! thank you so much, Lace!

As a kid (and as an adult), Oin was always doing experiments (with occasional explosions). Their house was full of boxes of strange things labelled “OIN’S EXPERIMENT DO NOT TOUCH”.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Later on, he had to add another label: “THIS MEANS YOU, GLOIN.”

chess-ka:

Glóin and Óin (and kid!Gimli) from the ~~mundane~~ modern AU, featuring doctor Óin and dad Glóin.

I looked up references for hearing aids, but I’m still not sure how accurate this is Sorry if it sucks.

Gloin with a baby or grand baby in a sling. Poor little mite is mostly hidden by epic beard.

(so i might actually think that Mr Dets with our bub in a sling on his chest is the cutest thing that has ever or will ever happen, this headcanon is my kryptonite i stg)

Headcanon that dwarves puff up like Ghibli characters under high emotion.

I LOVE ITTTTTT

~~gloin would be a sight to see omfg~~

Thinking about Mizim/Gloin grandparental headcanons is a giant squee of cute. <3

It absolutely is.

Gloin is the most sappy grandpa who ever EVER lived. Even though Gimizh is universally considered to be Terror on Legs, he can do no wrong in Gloin’s eyes. He is utter perfection. Just mentioning Gimizh can make Gloin’s face soften into lines of total adoration. Gloin would absolutely be the one to give Gimizh a toy axe (at faaaar too young an age for it) – and watch beamingly as Gimizh proceeded to whack everything in sight with it.

Mizim is the indulgent Nanna who gives sneaky treats to her little monster. She is the one who squirrels away old clothes for a dress-up box and old blankets for fort-making. She is ABSOLUTELY the one who, instead of cleaning the small painted handprints on the wall, sticks a frame on them instead and labels it ‘Gimizh, aged 14 1/2′. She would be the one to let tiny fingers play with her glorious and abundant white mane and beard, tangling and knotting it with beads and bells which she would wear all day – no matter where her business takes her (it would take hours to undo all the snarls).
