Baris with her nervous nature and inventive mind, And Bomfris with her ‘take no prisoners’ approach to absolutely everything…except when it comes to Stonehelm, then she’s as adorably shy as her sister I just love those two so much
AHH THANK YOU *SCREAMS* HELLO YES THANK YOU, AHHHH MY POLAR OPPOSITE SISTERS THANK YOU SO SO MUCH i love these girls, GOD do I love them
Baris, with her mindbending talent and creativity, and crushingly insecure nature would at first think that you were paying her voice a compliment. She’s accustomed to that, and would be gracious and polished as she accepted it.
Then she’d realise that no, it’s not exactly her staggering voice that you’re commenting upon, but her – her as a whole person, and her whole face would flush red as a tomato, all the way down her neck. Her practised poise would shatter in an instant, and she’d shuffle and look at her feet, her hands clasping over her smile to hide it, her eyes squeezing tight… and oh, how she would blush and beam and stammer into her hands!
Bomfris would think you were making fun of her. She honestly would. She’d be all: “Right, you wanna go then?” and she’d be rolling up her sleeves even before you could have explained that no, you’re sincere, promise!
Then she’d frown in confusion, and look at you suspiciously. “Are you sure?”
You’d have to reassure her once again that yes, you honestly think she’s pretty danged cool.
Then, just like flipping a switch, she’d change utterly from attack to FRIEND! At a loss for words, she’d throw her arms out and yell ‘Aaaaah!’ and you would be crushed in the most graceless and uncoordinated hug EVER – and probably the most enthusiastic also, because when Bomfris loves someone, she loves them COMPLETELY AND FEROCIOUSLY.
Since we all seem to be taking turns with this- as awesome as Hrera, Orla and Dwerís are… snarky, brilliant, fierce, mithril-precious Narvi is everything to me. (pls publish this heartfelt statement Dets)
*heart eyes* AWW RIPPY hey there, friend ❤
Narvi would grunt in answer, fully preoccupied with what she is working upon. She’s always busy with something, and she’s nearly there… nearly… there… if she just adjusts this cog, then perhaps.. ach, no. All right, back from the beginning…
Later on (much, much later on), she would look up from her work and blink her sore eyes, and say very loudly and in some amount of shock: “Wait, what was that you said?!”
(Your every gift would be a miracle of engineering genius from that day on.)
I’d like to put in a vote for Dis as the best. Yes, she’s canon, but Tolkien gave us NOTHING about her and you took that and RAN with it and I love the direction you chose for her.
(ahhh thank you, thank you SO MUCH nonnie! I deliberately steered her character away from the popular Dis-depiction that was common when I first began the story, and I am SO SO GLAD you like where I took her! It felt like the most risky choice ever, at the time!!)
Dis would probably say thank you too, thank you very much. She’d say it quietly, and baldly, and with an undercurrent of steely, sad dignity.
While all of the recently mentioned Dwarrowdams are excellent, I must politely assert that Haban is the absolute best!
Haban would stop stock-still, and probably stare at you open-mouthed for a moment. Then she’d say, in a loud and sort of wobbly voice, ‘Well!!!”
and in milliseconds you would be looked after, cared for and mothered to within an inch of your life 😉
TBH I’m at the point where it is sometimes difficult to write LOTR fic because I have to sit back and ask myself “Wait, is that character canon or are they a determamfidd OC?” See also: Vili, Hrera, Mizim, and various other assorted parents and spouses. And then I have to COME UP WITH my own OCs and they’re never as cool as yours.
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 😀 )
For some reason I keep imagining aelir as this super talkative elf that will just really ramble on and on, and thranduil (since he seems like the pretty quiet type) will just listen to her for like hours and look at her with these *intense heart eyes* lol :3 Your ocs are really interesting and your writing is sooo good
YES PERFECT, chattering squirrel elf ❤
Hey I was wondering if you could help me for this: in the hobbit, when passing through the Misty Mountains, the company kills the Great Goblin of Goblin-town and I was wondering who replaced the leader afterwards?
Hey Nonnie!
Welp, I did a little digging, and Tolkien Gateway reckons that the goblins under the Great Goblin were only a sub-section of the Orcs of the Misty Mountains.
so it’s probable that they ended up at the Battle of Five Armies under the leadership of Bolg 🙂
ENG: I coloured the New Year Gigolas I did for @iwouldratherbeadreamer . My tablet wasn’t working, but I seem to have found a solution, so everything’s back on schedule.
ESP: Coloreé el Gigolas que le hice a @iwouldratherbeadreamer para Año Nuevo. Mi tablet no estaba funcionando, pero parece que le encontré la vuelta, así que todo vuelve a la normalidad.
