Kili sings again! Man, I’m on a bloody roll today.

Hmm… what’s the worst possible thing I could do to grimminsanity

Oh! I know…

Think: right before leaving on the quest, because dammit, I’ll prove I’m not a screw-up!

(I feel like this would also hurt you, determamfidd 🙂 *halo sounds*)

AUGH KILI it is BEAUTIFUL AND ALSO AUGH

KILI NO

really-saraleee replied to your post: anonymous asked:Thrain and Fris a…

Can’t have the little ones get too excited, it’s not good for them! And not relaxing for the grandparents. ❤

Fris will pull ears if she is exasperated! Tiny little Dwarf lady is not up for any of that silliness, thank you. 

But come here, darling, and I’ll pat your hair for you, and sing. And tell me what is wrong, eh? I’m listening.

She’s so sweeeeeeeeeet ❤

Thrain and Fris are the proudest grandparents to ever proud. But really quietly.

Compared to Thror’s indulgence and Hrera’s fussing – absolUTELY. Fris and Thrain, in comparison, are a much quieter sort of Gran and Grandad!

Fris is a bit stern sometimes – no nonsense, please! – but so so tender and loving, omfg. And Thrain is just such a quiet haven. He’s the perfect refuge, really. He never judges, never presses. Just provides a safe place. 

what do you think would happen if Kili decided that since Mahal’s hands were tied, he should just go annoy every other Valar until they changed the system altogether?

*shrug* Dunno. Two major stumbling-blocks with the idea, though: 1. First Kili would have to find the other Valar. Manwe & Varda are up on top of Mt Taniquetil, Ulmo lives in the waters, Yavanna has her gardens, Lorien in… well, Lorien, and etc etc – they’re VERY spread out, all over the continent in fact. 

And Kili is dead, stuck in the Halls of the Dwarven Dead, separate even from all other afterlives… 

2. I doubt any of the other Valar would consider it. They’ve all seen what happens when one deliberately disobeys the plan of Eru Iluvatar, and they’ve all been loyal to the Song of Arda and Eru’s plan since the beginning (despite a few minor AULE hiccups). 

That said, I do think that Kili’s powers of irritation might just be up to the task 🙂

After Gimli enters the halls, do he and Kili and Narvi get together and get drunk and complain about their respective idiot elves? And together they count down the time until Dagor Dagorath and make sure they’re all ready, because by Mahal they *will* see their elves again, and no stupid dark vala will stop them

I feel that this now absolutely must happen.

(if anybody else overheard them and tried to agree about ‘DUMB ELVES’ they would probably get tankards thrown at them)

Is messy hair a Durin thing? Like the nose and the angst?

LOL, the hereditary Durin angst! very accurate!

I don’t actually think so – Before death, Thorin’s hair was remarkably photogenic well-behaved. It’s only since his death that he’s been struggling with it!

Fili’s hair is lovely, as we all know. Thrain’s is enviable. Like, hellooooo sir. 

And Thror’s should be enshrined as hair-and-beard perfection, tbh. 

(I bet that this is all Hrera’s painstaking work, though…)

Even the extended Durin line we see in the films has hella hair. I mean, Balin’s is plain as plain – but pure white and absolutely lovely. Dwalin might be bald, but it is long at the back – also beard respect. Oin’s hair is FABTACULAR, curly braids ftw!! And Gloin’s – welp. Nuff said. My fave hot dad also has my fave hair and beard. And both are A GLORIOUS ABUNDANCE. 

And then, ofc, there is the fiery magnificence that is Dain. 

The only dwarf of the Durin line we see with fairly scruffy hair is Kili, I suppose. And even then it’s not scruffy-scruffy, more “movies-scruffy” (it appears that Dwarves do not frizz even in wet weather. Bastards).
