it feels like time for another HEADCANONPALOOZA!

(sorry so sorry, I would love to answer these individually but they’ve piled up on me again, and I am currently devoting my miniscule free time to writing. Oh what a joy it is to be back at work, with two people’s workloads…)

These are freaking adorable! (I like all these new piggies, but Petal is still prettiest piggy. tbh I don’t think Dain even asks people if they want one any more. Too many refusals. They just materialise. Inexplicable pigs!) THAT THRAIN ONE W THE GOATS. And warm snuggly Gloin is mmmmm yes yes okay, lucky girl Mizim. You hug that warm soft furry Dwarf. YES YES TO FRERINITH WITH PAINTED NAILS. yESSSS. Custard, you – you cat you!!! and awwww, Mirkwood elves are putty before the power of the tiny Dwarf child 🙂

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12,

Angsty bit … After Azanulbizar, Thrain and Groin have six kids to mind between them. Trying to keep them all fed and clothed is a challenge, especially while remembering all the dead folks.

oh fuck of course they would, oh my god OF COURSE

Thorin, Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin and Dis

owwwwwwww

now I need the Angsty Ongoing Adventures of Thrain and Groin, both of whom are mourning the loss of family and spouse and damn-near EVERYONE, even as they try to care for six of the most stubborn, traumatised, determined and badass teens & kids everrrr

(Groin would shoot off his mouth when worried, as though arguing with Fundin like he always does… and Thrain ofc cannot respond the way his brother did. It falls flat, they both fall silent… 

Groin saying ‘Haban’ thoughtlessly, without thinking, and

Thrain freezes in place, Groin’s throat trying to choke the next words, after … 

Thrain sighing over the kids as they discuss what to do about them, this time, Dwalin’s so young, he’s so angry, and wee Gloin doesn’t quite understand, and he absently says, ‘I’ll see what Da thinks…’ or perhaps ‘Thorin, Frerin and Dis…’ before he remembers that it isn’t anymore, there’s no Da, it’s not Thorin-Frerin-and-Dis… 

and oh GOD the silence. The awful silence that follows.)

Wee Thorin has to do a family tree for school and it is full of pain and angst when he has to ask his parents about it. Also very awkward. The accompanying drawings of the extended family are like 35% guesswork even after Wee Thorin asks every relative he has because the most of older people died so very long ago.

OW

OW OW OW OW

Oh OW

Dwalin can fill in some of it. Gloin tries as well. It’s a good thing that old tapestry is still knocking about… but Dweris’ family is a mystery lost to time and war, and the only thing that is remembered about Farin’s spouse Ganois is that they were a painter. The tree is missing so many of its branches. 

(For the record, Dweris’ mum was named Gweris, and she was a swordsmith. Her father was Delor, a fletcher – but no records about them survived. Not one.)

oh, and Orla will not speak of her family bc GIANT SPOILERS

Gimli-fam at Minas Tirith has another logical conclusion… Faramir is familie’d. Like, so hard. He gets kid snuggles and parent chats and sibling advice. So much family. And the keep doing it after they leave? So, Mizim sends him socks and cookie recipes, Gimris reminds him to eat his veggies and to put on his hat. Gloin talks about that nice ranger boy to the people at Erebor and sends good people for trade to Ilithien.

YESSSSSSSS

So … what if most of Gimli’s family goes with the Ereborean contingent to Aragorn’s coronation. So awesome and awkward. Gimris is squawking like a chicken. Mizim is mothering people aggressively. Gimizh is everywhere – twice. Gloin is about to burst because people are constantly telling him how awesome Gimli is.

AWWWWWWW

Lmao, Gimris and Eowyn in the same room might just be more determined warrior/healer ATTITUDE than Middle-Earth can cope with

Gimizh would be spoiled rotten, good gracious, everyone marvelling at one of the rarely-seen Dwarven children, he’s so CUTE, Gimli would be so PROUD
