What Star Wars characters would you put into ravenclaw? (1,2,3,4,5,6&7)

Gosh, Nonnie… idk. I am not as familiar with the characters as others are. 

I am sold 9000000000% on Puff Finn. I’m somewhat leaning towards Gryffindor Rey. IDK about Poe… I need to read and think a lot more before sorting him?

As for Ravenclaw – I think that perhaps Padme was a ‘Claw. But maybe not. Like I said, I’d need to read up some more.

I know that’s not very entertaining, Nonnie – sorry! But I am sure that some clever enterprising person out there has amazing Sorting HCs already, fandom being what it is!! 😀

Do your dwarves have something like Valentine’s day? Because it would be v. cute. V. cute.

Oooooh, I hadn’t thought of an event like that? IDK, Nonnie. It would be very cute for the coupled-up Dwarves, certainly, but I am sorta leaning more towards a celebration of many kinds of love, not just the romantic? One in which everyone can express the love they have for other(s).

I am perhaps not expressing it very well, but I am thinking of less of an extravagant gesture for couples and romance thing, and more of an intimate express-how-much-you-care-to-people-who-matter-to-you day. That can definitely INCLUDE romantic love, I spose! But it could also mean a Dwarf gifting a lovely geode of amethyst quartz to their old mum to say ‘I love you’, or someone taking their brothers out for a drink, or old friends catching up and having a really good chinwag over a cup of tea. Something small, but special. 

I DID write a smooching fic last year for Valentine’s Day, heheh. It’s called

Nanammâ! 🙂

Thorin Stonehelm didn’t have much in the way of head hair for his first year or three of life, so that he had a lot of alternative head-coverings. All sorts of little hats, especially woolly ones. Little decorative ribbons. Lots of pig-themed things. Jackets and sweaters with little hoods. It was Adorable. (There were some commissioned sketches/portraits of him done at this stage and Bomfris just lost it when she saw one of him in his little baby gown with pig embroidery, and a big blue ribbon.)

OH GOD

THE PICTURES WOULD BE JUST

My Tolkien Quotes (6/?)

The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter. I, Narvi, made them. Celebrimbor of Hollin drew these signs.

Tags via @avelera: Celebrimbor being so rude and calling it Moria the black pit lol moria lotr

So. I actually have a headcanon on this subject. 

Celebrimbor had associated with the dwarves for a long time, and clearly admired their skill. But, he is an elf, and therefore, must be difficult at all possible times. So. To his friends, he started calling Khazad-dum Moria instead. It was a joke. It was him being ridiculous about this gorgeous glowing kingdom of dwarves. 

He had no idea when to pull back the joke, so damn right he put it on the gate. The dwarves knew about it. They knew that it was how this elf showed his admiration. And just a little bit at first, it was a memory of Celebrimbor who had died in agony and torment in Sauron’s clutches, protecting the world. 

Basically, I’m saying that for a while after Celebrimbor died, dwarves called it Moria in the same way you see pics of a guy in a crazy outfit at a friend’s funeral. They’re honoring an old joke, and so, honoring him.  

After the balrog, after Dwarrowdelf fell? If you think the superstitious dwarves didn’t read that inscription and take it as long ignored prophecy, I will call you a liar. 

Gimizh and Bofur both have perpetually scaly/dry feet, and Gimris is always running around trying to fix this. Pumice stones, lemon juice, salve, whatever. It all works a little, but their feet seem destined to be perpetually dry. It doesn’t help that they’re both ticklish around the feet.

Awwww, but this would actually be adorable, Nonnie! I can imagine Gimris being very determined about this. She would absolutely fix it. She’s got an old recipe of her uncle’s, and she has added wool fat from the sheep as well. It cannot. Possibly. Fail.

And the whole time, Bofur is squirming and going red in the face and gasping with laughter, tears in his eyes, his leg jerking crazily as his muscles jump in response to her rubbing. Because it tickles, Ruby! You can’t… oh Mahal, no no no Ahhhaaaaa please, please tell me you’re done now… I’ve gone lightheaded here, love, please…

And she would say (after dodging a particularly uncontrolled kick): all right, all done.

Thank Mahal, Bofur would say, and he’d slump down, his stomach actually aching after all that laughter.

Gimris’ jaw would jut, in that way she had. “Time for the other one now.”

Dori probably has so much pretty jewelry in Erebor. Because he can finally afford it. He especially tries to buy from people who are poorer/less well-known (but still do really good work) because he knows what it’s like to be in that position, and him buying stuff means a likely bump in sales. Dori probably has a lot of amethyst, opal, and moonstone stuff. And rose gold. So many trends set. Dori looks A+ fab.

Oh wow, he really would look amaaaaaaaazing. Jawdroppingly so. Just so gorgeous. 

And he absolutely would look for pieces from up-and-coming jewellers and goldsmiths. Dori is still mothering that Whole Danged Mountain, after all!
