OMGG SAME I would totally date Jeri

Jeri would absolutely practice their lines in the mirror to avoid being a total gawky catastrophe on a first date, you realise

(they get overheard by Genild, who pokes her head in to make sure Jeri is all right – and tries not to die laughing as she carefully closes the door behind her. She’s not going to be able to tell Beri without cackling her head off.)

Aaahhhhh, most of my favourites have already been said! But I have to shout out for Frís. Somebody who could raise Thorin, Frerin and Dís to be such amazing dwarves has to be the most remarkable dam to ever exist.

*punches air* FRIS FRIS FRIS FRIS

If you told Fris that she was your fave, she would demur and flap her hands at her reddened cheeks, and then would completely turn it back at you, because she is 1000% like that. 

She’d say something like, “What a gem you are! You are most certainly my favourite too, dear one.”

Or even:  “Mahal below, good gracious! Well, thank you – but the giver of such lovely compliments deserves to be their own favourite!”

Are we still doing favorite OCs? Because Thira’s pretty rad, and I know Narvi doesn’t /technically/ count, but I’m adding her in anyway because “nerdy-craftswoman-dwarf with an epic hatred for Sauron” is an EXCELLENT character concept . ❤  

(I WAS SO HOPING SOMEONE LOVED THIRA AS MUCH AS I DO, she is so beautiful and such a soft, wise, quiet soul, I love her so muchhhhhh)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

since everyone’s sharing their faves – Hrera. i have the feeling she couldve solved the whole Ring debacle in ten minutes under the right circumstances. Laerophen’s a close second for me, though

hey yeah, Laerophen!! Thanks, friend – I am glad you like him! 

(Hrera isn’t quite that badass – her brand of scolding bossiness/worry wouldn’t have worked on a Nazgul, for instance – but my word, she would have sorted Denethor out quick-smart.)

Well since everyone else is sharing their faves, I’ll do it too^^ (though you already know my faves) Baris and Bani, cutest lesbians ever, own my lesbian ass and heart <3

(hey erina!! *hugs and hugs and HUUUGS*)

I’ve fallen into doing this thing now, where I describe how the character would react to being told that they were your fave, i guess 🙂 I’ve done Baris, but here is our impatient, unobservant, clever-klutz Bani 😀

She’d probably open and close her mouth a couple of times, before she made this face:

and then she’d say, “thanks, but honestly, you should meet my girlfriend.”

This was the freakin’ cutest and I would 110% attempt to make friends with Jeri the Precious Cinnamon Roll and maybe awkwardly ask on date at some point. “The Tale of Two Nonbinary Dwarves and Awkward Attempts of Flirting” yes that sounds perfect Jeri I think you’re gr8 u wanna go, uh, watch stars or, uh, something. Something.

(I am so glad you liked it, Nonnie!)

Oh my god, Jeri and small talk and dates and STARS, they are gonna be so so damn FLUSTERED, get them a glass of water omg

Baris with her nervous nature and inventive mind, And Bomfris with her ‘take no prisoners’ approach to absolutely everything…except when it comes to Stonehelm, then she’s as adorably shy as her sister I just love those two so much

AHH THANK YOU *SCREAMS* HELLO YES THANK YOU, AHHHH MY POLAR OPPOSITE SISTERS THANK YOU SO SO MUCH i love these girls, GOD do I love them

Baris, with her mindbending talent and creativity, and crushingly insecure nature would at first think that you were paying her voice a compliment. She’s accustomed to that, and would be gracious and polished as she accepted it. 

Then she’d realise that no, it’s not exactly her staggering voice that you’re commenting upon, but her – her as a whole person, and her whole face would flush red as a tomato, all the way down her neck. Her practised poise would shatter in an instant, and she’d shuffle and look at her feet, her hands clasping over her smile to hide it, her eyes squeezing tight… and oh, how she would blush and beam and stammer into her hands! 

Bomfris would think you were making fun of her. She honestly would. She’d be all: “Right, you wanna go then?” and she’d be rolling up her sleeves even before you could have explained that no, you’re sincere, promise! 

Then she’d frown in confusion, and look at you suspiciously. “Are you sure?”

You’d have to reassure her once again that yes, you honestly think she’s pretty danged cool.

Then, just like flipping a switch, she’d change utterly from attack to FRIEND! At a loss for words, she’d throw her arms out and yell ‘Aaaaah!’ and you would be crushed in the most graceless and uncoordinated hug EVER – and probably the most enthusiastic also, because when Bomfris loves someone, she loves them COMPLETELY AND FEROCIOUSLY.
