eee!
TBH, if I had hair that fabulous, I’d never stop playing with it either.
Tag: munDain
Dain definetly has a pig-patterned quilt or two running around. And piggy pj’s.
*whispers* I want piggy pjs now. Must find cute piggy material, make Dain-inspired pj’s. Yus.
MunDain Headcanon: Dain tried eyebrow piercings once. It didn’t work out too well. Thorin fell off his chair laughing when Dain wrote him about it.
PPPPPFFFFFFFt. Sort of fits in with Yours Faithfully, I guess, but I am imagining a letter beginning ‘Dear Posh Git’ and finishing with ‘and if you mention it to Dwalin, I will flick you around the ear.’
And the reply would be addressed to ‘Dear Simple Rustic, thank you for the laugh, it was much needed. But you do know that the ring traditionally goes through a pig’s nose…’
WHOA BAM HEADCANON-FLOOD *squints at @kailthia suspiciously*
These are ADORABLE, awwwww! I love the doily one. And a smol Thorin with his paws in the practice ink is an image that isn’t going to leave any time soon ❤ Thank you Nonnie!
MunDain headcanon: He loves chocolate, and especially chocolate-covered cherries and coffee beans. All the snacktimes.
MMMMMMMM
(Now I want chocolate-covered coffee beans mmmmm)
So Dain has a little picture locket with his parents’ portraits and he wears it almost all the time. It’s something of a lucky charm. He has some of his parents’ beads in there from after Azanulbizar too. (He sometimes takes it out and looks at the portraits sadly).
Mundain headcanon: he has several Dain-dolls. He poses for Bofur for new dolls because it’s fun. He has also talked with Bocur about his parents to make sure that their dolls are accurate – this is a marker of how Bofur and Dain are kinda close. This discussion also involved lots of ale.
oh jeez, Nonnie. This is lovely and also sortakinda ouch… because Dain lost both (in my little headcanon, anyway, it’s both) his parents at the tender age of 32. Nain was butchered by Azog in front of his eyes.
So the image that came to me then was Dain and Bofur sitting together in warm, close lamplight. Dain has several empty tankards in front of him, and clutches another. His face is creased and sad as he wracks his memory. Bofur has a couple of empties sitting to to side, and a notebook resting in front of him, taking down as many details as Dain can remember… which isn’t many. It isn’t many at all.
(He remembers that his father had red hair also, and that Daeris’ eyes were brown. He remembers the smell of his mother’s hair-oil, spicy and pungent, and he remembers the way his father’s body crumpled onto the steps of Khazad-dum, the head lolling on its broken neck)
Bofur is a bro, though, and wouldn’t draw attention to the shaking of the King’s voice. He’s far too kind for that.
Are you still accepting mun!Dain headcanons??!?
Sure am! Mundain is for everyone ❤
munDain headcanon for you: Dain taught Thorin Stonehelm to cook a bit. Neither of them are very good at fancy stuff, but they can put together basic food. Learning how to flip pancakes was an Experience.
OHHHH I LOVE EEEEET
Since every soldier is responsible for his own feet, young Dáin learned to knit from his elders while out on his first patrols. He found he liked it, and kept doing it beyond his own socks. As a consequence, when each of his children were born, already waiting in the bassinet was a knitted piggy, ready to keep them safe from any that might mean them harm.
That. Is. Adorable.
TOO CUTE.
Aw Yiss
