Ooooh, spoilerishness!
Although, what I can reveal is that Gimizh utterly adores and hero-worships his uncle and is very proprietary over his affection and time, like so many small children are (see Cry Uncle: Gimli is his troll).
Gimizh ALSO loves Laerophen with complete sunny abandon – well, when he’s not bein’ weird and formal and stiff.
Warning: Small child with conflicting emotions ahoy. 🙂
Stern faced tall Man, surrounded by tiny fuzzy Dwarf babbus that cling to him like enthusiastic little burrs. Yes. YES.

okay but seriously, Ever since i read sansûkh i keep thinking about Legolas his Grieving process when Gimli’s death tears them apart.
And now i’m sobbing because i keep seeing legolas cut off all his hair because that’s how dwarves grieve and he doeSN’T HAVE A BEARD SO HE CUTS OFF ALL HIS HAIR BECAUSE GIMLI WAS HIS HEART AND SOUL AND NOW HE IS ALOOOOOONE.
that wasn’t very jolly of you D:
(thank you, I’m very grateful you like the idea!!!)
Now I can’t stop thinking about this. I know that there’s art around here somewhere of Tauriel with short hair following Kili’s death… but its carefully coiffed and maintained.
Elves are super careful about their hair, but what if Legolas can’t be arsed to care when his beloved is gone? What if he kneels by the water and slices off handful after handful, heedless of the uneven and ragged edges? Tears pooling in his eyes and sliding down his cheeks until the his vision blurs and the water reflects back golden with his hair. What if when he is done, his hair isn’t even long enough to brush his neck, and he’s nicked himself with the knife in his grief?
I’d keep going but I just made myself sad. Oops.

His great-grandad was renowned for his grim demeanour, after all… and Bard II has inherited it in spades. It’s only sliiiiiiightly less pronounced when a small curled-up creature is nestled up to him and sucking their thumb.
Later, when they’re older, he has been heard to sing ‘Giddyup Piggy’ as they bounce on his knee (to be sung to the same tune as ‘Giddyup Horsey’).
asdkagsdlajh that is such a cute idea I might just explode, Nonnie!
ohgosh augh my heart.
Like, can you imagine Dwalin or Orla with a hugabub or ring-sling or similar
(stock photo from hugabub website btw)
They would be so giant compared to the ittybitty tininess of a newborn, and oh my god it would make them appear even more terrifying – but at the same time terrifyingly adorable
Oh yes, absolutely! Nori would make book on the pig-racing every single time, heheheheh.
BEAN THE PIG AND FRERIN ARE UNBEATABLE awwwww that’s a lovely idea, Nonnie!
(Imagine Dain trying to convince BILBO though, because small Hobbits are small laskdgflashdgfljashfda the whole Company would be giggling madly, remembering how poor a rider Bilbo was at the start…!)
Blossom won best-in-show three years running, of course she did. She was just so very pretty!
*smacks table* if there isn’t then there blOODY WELL SHOULD BE.
Aw Yiss
