YES THEY ARE – THEY ARE ENTIRELY AS COOL AS ANY ONE OF MINE, they are, promise and cross my heart, bc they came from your mind and imagination and love, and every character that comes from that place is 1000% amazing
(sorry if mine tend to be a bit on the pushy side…! I believe that ‘Vili’ has become a sort of fandom-wide accepted name, though 😀 )
I AM SO GRATEFUL AND HAPPY YOU MESSAGED ME – this is just the nicest message ever! Thank you SO MUCH! I’m stoked you like Hrera omg, omg, omg…! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hey! Yeah, Ais and Folgar have been watching… but they’re mostly on the sidelines here, too many bosses and not enough workers, that sort of thing!
They ADORE Fili and Kili. ADORE. THEM.
They’re not really intimidated by Thror OR Hrera – well, not any more. Ais is… a lot more chatty and familiar and bustling than Hrera thinks is strictly proper, but they’re decent friends. Ais thinks Hrera has a gigantic stick up her *ahem*, but respects her bravery and stoicism and intelligence. Folgar likes Hrera’s caustic humour, and likes to tease her a bit to draw it out. She ignores that with all the bristly dignity in her.
Ais and Folgar are a very chatty, VERY joking, very busy sort of couple!!!
At first both Ais and Folgar were rather awed and cowed by Thror… but all the time in the Halls has rubbed the edges off his position. He sometimes joins Folgar and his friends for their jolly old drinking-and-pipes-and-darts sessions. He is a lot more quiet and reserved than either of them, but enjoys the company and the comradery.
I don’t think I’m going to be able to fit them into the massive cast of the main fic. (also @fuckthisimgoingtoerebor would KILL ME.) Maybe they’ll get a ficlet or something.
I’ve got a few things on them here on my blog! Try this ask, and this one!
OKAY I AM GOING WITH THE BLUE ONE, i like the colours way better 🙂
Probably gonna make the over-sleeves eventually anyway. THEY’RE SO ELIZABETHAN. I have a heckload of faux-fur left over from a production a few years ago. It’s going to come in useful now! I can attach them or not, depends on if the dress becomes too ‘busy’.
I HATE SEWING WITH FUR THO URGH, fluff everywhere.
ugh @morvidra yeah, bronze IS tricky – though I am p good at dyeing and heavy lace picks up colour p easily, so if I must, I must. i have also just ordered a shitton of sari trims off ebay pffft what stupendous impulse control
I’m going cheap as chips with the actual dress materials, to make up for the expense of all the trims, beard, etc. Op shops and charity stores, SHOW ME YOUR CURTAINS AND DONATED QUILT COVERS. 😀
must also get crappy boots that I can murder gleefully (I KNEW THAT PLEATHER WOULD COME IN HANDY ONE DAY DAMMIT. And they scoffed at my pack-rat ways!!! *maniacal laughter*)
Good thing I don’t have to buy the materials for the corset! I’ve also got most of the necessary beads and crystals etc (another past production, lmao!!) in deep blue: just need to pick up some bronze ones and I’m good. I’ll be haunting Spotlight and the bead shops for THAT.
Now, do I want to be a lazy bum and buy a cheap-ass bridal petti, or make a new one from scratch? I have some white organza… but murrrrrrr *pulls faces* IDK. I’ll see how I feel about it one month in.
2) omg what style corset/stays/bodies are you getting/making?
3) I got my beard from here: https://shop.maxwigs.com/collections/lacey-costume/beards – I think I got the 10in in strawberry blonde, which is just a little more red than my own hair, and I trimmed the shape of it just a little bit. These are great quality human hair beards! (Well, the lace fronts. It’s obvious which of the beards are the good ones from the pictures XD)
1) A WHOLE NEW WOOOOORLD, A DAZZLING PLACE I NEEEEVER KNEW…. 😉
2) I’m covering an old one! I am not so hardcore as you, making your own. I found a cheat’s guide for an Elizabethan gown, using a pre-existing boned top or corset here at Hathaways of Haworth!!!
The corset I’m using is ANCIENT, last used for my yr12 formal. I was 17 years old! Fast forward exactly 17 years (and one child) later, and it still fits! WOOHOOOOOO. This is why I never throw anything out 🙂
3) DAMN YEAH THOSE ARE AWESOME, thank you SO MUCH! *hugs*

Dets, I will PERSONALLY find a con that I can come and take photos with you, if you do this. I’m not sure when, and I’m not sure how, but I will make it happen.
I’M DOIN IT BARIS RICKY PATRICK HOUKAKYOU MY LOVES, I’M DOIN IT. I am scribbling stuff on paper, trying to come up with a decent design. it is really bloody hard not to model it on an Elizabethan gown tbh
I dragged out my corset to try on and ok the romantic style isn’t gonna cut it. BUT WHAT DO I SEE, TUCKED AWAY BESIDE IT? a very severe, high-waisted corset from my graduation formal night, from when i was 17. IT. STILL. FITS – if that’s not fate I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS.
FUCKIN HECK HYEAH I AM GONNA HROCK IT AS HRERA
I HAVE TWO POSSIBLE DESIGNS
but dyou think i can choose between them???? NOSSIREE.

Kili and Hrera, from chapter 42 of Sansukh, written by @determamfidd
So there’s this lovely scene in chapter 42, where Hrera comments that she and Kili are alike, and while it’s so sad, it is also easily my most favorite thing in the whole series. Kili and Hrera having this small bitter sweet moment.
I love all the designs i’ve seen of Hrera, Jeza-red easily having the most amazing drawings of her! But i got this idea in my head of hair swooping back into these branch like buns on her head so i thought i’d try it. In Hrera’s beard is a mythril ornament, where her beard has been wound to form the shape of a tree.
I’m really glad i got to sit down and draw this-it’s been hard to draw anything or write for that matter. My work has now had overtime for two solid months so i’ve been very tired. I feel my art looks a little ill practiced, but i’m so glad i got to do this. Can’t wait for more story!
AAAAAH KAZIIII!!!
yes yes yes yes yes yES YES!!!
that hair design makes my heart STOP HOLY SHIT if i were ever to cosplay I would do THAT bc it is AMAZING, THAT HRERA IS AMAZING
oh kili – his face here, you have his brave little stoic face, all his smiles and jokes and armour stripped away i JUST
Aw Yiss
