I’ll be posting this comic for the @fluffyfebruary bagginshield event, one page a day, I hope you guys like it ♥ its title means, roughly, “Lullabies of the Heart”

this had a curious creation, though, it was a wrong prompt fill for @emsiecat’s donation reward back in december. then, I had uploaded it (it was 6 pages long at the time) on my patreon for everyone to see (because I was sure I wouldn’t have the time to work on it) and then! @kettish asked me to keep on drawing it! so I did, and I’m frankly thankful for the nudge, I had a lot of fun with this! also, I need to say I’m sorry to divide it into 1 page/day posts, but it’s truly the best way to view each page, as I can crop it into two and make it short and sweet if you guys want to reblog your favorite pages, zoom in to read the dialogue or anything!


pages: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5, 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14, 15

Oin decided he wanted to be a doctor very early on – just like his dad! Helping people, doing good! He would use his dolls as guinea pigs, wrapping them in bandages and stuff. Gloin and Dwalin were also dragged into duty as “patients.” Groin once caught Oin trying to give Dwalin an enema because he was complaining of constipation.

YIIIIIKES

That would NOT have been a good scene to walk in upon

yiiiiikes yikes yikes yikes um YIKES. 

I was re-reading Yours, Faithfully (again, for the umpteenth time, it is so good, you deserve all the kudos for it) and. Well. Gloin gleefully and mockingly throwing a “funeral” for Dwalin’s hair once he has finally gone bald. Balin gives a speech. Would almost be moving, if Gloin and Dis could stop snickering so loudly throughout the entire thing. Dwalin threatens to kill them all afterwards, until they get him drunk on Hobbit ale.

lkjfh;ashdfgaljshdfgsjhasldkfjhasldhfa oh god, THANK you. I am sorta proud of that work, actually, it’s in my top 3 favourites of everything I’ve ever written. *wibbles* so happy that you like it and that you find it worth re-reading!

AHHHHH A FUNERAL FOR DWALIN’S HAIR BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh, poor Dwalin. And there’s Thorin and Gloin and Oin, looking like overgrown yaks, all laughing at him. I’d be drinking too, Dwalin! 

“” “This is no time to wait around an’ watch Thorin have feelings,” growled Óin.”” well if that’s not the point of this entire glorious work, i guess we should all stop reading and go home then Óin, how d’ya like that then (i’m rereading all the way through for about the fourth time, and this line always cracks me up xD)

eeee, I love writing Oin. The longer I spend thinking about these Dwarf twits, the more I love Oin. He’s so awesome. <3333

(he’s very loyal! just… not always very respectful, lmao)

heheheheh, this is true Nonnie! 

Sansûkh: Midwinter, A Holiday Side-fic

determamfidd:

Part 18 of the Sansûkh: The Appendices series

image


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.
