Part 18 of the Sansûkh: The Appendices series
The different peoples of Middle-Earth have their own ways of farewelling the old year and greeting the new. Each race has its own rich customs and traditions to mark the winter solstice and the longest night of the year. Each is as distinct and unique as snow is to fire.
(But as the wise know, people are always people.)
A holiday tale set in the Sansûkh universe.
Both of them, yeah! And I suspect the judicious application of cookies will have its place in these proceedings (Legolas will have PLENTY of warning!)
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. 🙂
Yes, ‘Reading’.
Happy Holidays to @fuckthisimgoingtoerebor
Here is your Gimizh and Laerophen art. 🙂
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFLUKE
THIS IS SO AMAZING, oh my god, grown-up Gimizh looks EXACTLY AS I IMAGINED HIM, with bits of Bofur in his face and beard and hairstyle, aasdfhaglsdfh YOU STAR
Fanart of Merilin and Laerophen (ft. Gimizh) from determamfidd’s incredible, astounding Sansûkh. I love this scene (just before Baris sings the Cradle-Song) so much in all its heartbreaking glory.
lsdjsgfsaljha!!!
Oh, how lovely are these colours!! I love their expressions, awwwww Laerophen comforting lil Gimizh – may I say that I absolutely LOVE Merilin’s hair here!!! AND GIMIZH’S BRAIDS EEEEE
I love it so so much! Ahhh, thank you thank you thank you!
Certainly Legolas and Laerophen have been won over! They just have to convince Laindawar. Tiny angry terrier Elf is not going to be easy to convince!
*VERY LOUD INNOCENT WHISTLING*
(psst that one is Laerophen – Laindawar is his shortarse grumpy older brother 🙂
Absolutely! Ship away, Nonnie! He’s a dork, I warn you 😀
Oh boy, have fallen several chapter behind.
Haven’t read the part were Laindawar show up yet, but that won’t stop me from drawing the dork. :’DLaerophen stop being so smug and be nice to your smol big brother!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
alskfalskdhfgsaljdsaljdhfa oh my goddddddd thank you so so much! Ooohhhh that first pic is UNF, yesss, that is Laindawar, that is wonderful!
Oh gosh, I am giggling like a loon at the second pic! HAHAHAHA tiny angry terrier elf, oh my god I love his face it is so perfect! ‘I WILL SLICE YOUR KNEECAPS OFF.’
And Laerophen, all ‘CAN’T HEAR YOU FROM ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE “BIG BRO” lol’
and Legolas ‘BOW AND ARROWS YISS ahhhh let’s go shoot arrows AW YISS I LOVE SHOOTIN ARROWS’ and good gravy this is so funny and clever, this is so spot on and perfect!! Thank you so much!
AWWWW UNCLE LAEROPHEN. I think Laerophen himself might just explode with joy, myself! Laindawar will likely be all “…wut. NO.” Gimizh, of course, would continue with unabated enthusiasm.
Yes, I’ve thought on it once or twice! In fact, thanks to the enormity of Gimli’s family, there are very few members of the Ereborean cast that will not be related-by-marriage to Laerophen.
Imagine Dwalin’s face. Just imagine it. Heheheheheheh.
(And now imagine Dwalin realising that, logically, he is now related to Thranduil. )
😀
Aw Yiss
