Updated with a scanned version. Now you can actually see them properly! 8D

Headcanons about the dolls: Once all the stories are told and peace comes, dolls of literally everyone get made: there’s Faramir, Eowyn and Eomer, Theoden (and their horses), Treebeard and the Ents, Each wizard, Radagast and his rabbits and sled, Saruman (2 versions: one with white robes and another tye-died), the 2 Blue Wizards, there’s even one of Gandalf’s Shadowfax. Of elves like Elrond, Celeborn, Galadriel, Arwen, Elladan, Elrohir, Haldir, etc. (Part 1)

(Part 2) Laerophen eventually ends up with dolls of his brothers and father while in Erebor (Gimizh and the kids give them to him; they worry about their loved ones too and the dolls help them so they figure the dolls would help him too). He’s not quite sure what to do with them, but he keeps them anyway safe in his room and they go with him back to the Greenwood. Legolas eventually visits Erebor and gets them too, along with a Gimli, Tauriel, Fellowship set, and dolls of the friends he made.

(Part 3) Gandalf was given a doll of Bilbo by a dwarfling years ago and couldn’t refuse it. He secretly loves the dolls and has collected a doll of everyone he’s ever met since. He keeps them safe in Rivendell and takes them with them when he sails. (It’s a large chest that ends up holding them all.)

This is all SO cute, omfg. I can’t believe that a little detail in the fic has turned into such a lovely world-building thing, and that people are thinking up their own headcanons for it! *boggles and awwws* 

(I AM TOTALLY STUCK ON TIE-DYED SARUMAN HELP HELP HE IS SO TUBULAR AND RAD)

Omg so like. I am totally not trying to pester you in any way, and if this is post does in any way I am so sorry, but I totally ship Merilin and Laerophen. Like, I am SO excited to see what you do with their relationship, be it a friendship/sibling-like bond/WHATEVER have you, but I wanted to let you know b/c when I think about them together I’m just. Ugh. OTP feels. My heart. My little shipper heart. I’m just going to lay here for a minute. (And I absolutely LOVE their characters btw, like omG)

Awwww, Nonnie, don’t be sorry! And SHIP AWAY, ship ahoy! I have no problem with that at all 😀

And thank you! I’m so thrilled you like them!

Hi Dets! I’ve been re-reading Sansukh and going through your posts on Legolas’ brothers, and I’ve come to the conclusion that none of Thranduil’s sons were married before the War of the Ring; is this correct? If so, what — if any — impact would this have on Thranduil when Legolas makes his relationship with Gimli known? (does Thranduil even want his sons to get married in the first place?)

Hmm. No, none of them are married, you’re right.

So, I am writing Elves as a slightly different kettle of fish to Dwarves. From Tolkien’s writings, it appears that Elves can all be considered demisexual to varying degrees. Sex can ONLY occur when love is present, and sex itself is the act of marriage.

Laindawar is very, VERY introverted. He has only really ever been close to one person: his brother Laerophen, to be frank. He likes his solitude. He is often mistaken for aloof, because he simply prefers his own company. He has never fallen in love, and doesn’t want or expect to.

Laerophen wouldn’t be averse to falling in love one day, but he is far beyond the age when an Elf customarily finds their love. It’s not unheard of for an older Elf to find love, but Laerophen doesn’t think it likely.

Legolas is also beyond the age when Elves are most likely to settle down. He was quite resigned to it, and was ready to be the Prince his father expected him to be.

WHOOPS 😉

Thranduil would have terribly mixed feelings over his sons’ finding a partner. His own experience has been one of great joy followed by terrible loss, and he would NEVER want that for his sons. In the films he warns Tauriel away from Legolas out of a sense of protectiveness rather than classism against ‘lowly Silvan Elves’, to my mind (though of course the classism is a lovely excuse to use – Thranduil doesn’t easily reveal his true feelings without a LOT of prompting or provocation).

So, a bit rambly, but there’s some of my thoughts, Nonnie!

I was wondering what would happen if Frerinith ever met Laepheon? Would Laepheron be like “PRECIOUS BBY CAN I TAKE HIM HOME??” Or would he be more like “OH NO ITS AN INFANT WHAT DO???”

Hahahaha, I answered an ask about our favourite Elven introvert + babies over here. 

Meeting Frerinith specifically, though. Hmm. I think Laerophen would be dumbstruck and awed by every move the tiny (so tiny!!) little one makes, his every word and breath. Look at how perfect those small hands are! How remarkable, each tiny eyelash, those wide and trusting eyes! Is there anything as musical as a child’s laughter? A whole new person, a light only beginning… and oh, he’s… he’s skinned his knee, um. What to do, what to – I know, I shall mop it with my sleeve. 

My sleeve is not sufficient. 

He cries now. Perhaps I should pick him up and comfort him, I have seen others do so… ah, he leaks. That is unpleasant. And is he… chewing upon my hair?

Oh. He leaks from several places. 

I think I should perhaps put him down. And find his parents.
