hey babes and huns and darlins all

It’s been a heck of a time lol. Sorry for the long long LONG silence. AGAIN. Urgh, I am shaking my head at myself, believe me. I am so crap at social media. All or nothing, that’s me. 

Anyway. We had a loss in our family – the family member I mentioned who was sick has lost their fight after a long long battle, and so we’ve been dealing with how that affects us all. We all knew it was coming, just not when. 

My little man is now 12 weeks old, and GOD he is gorgeous. Caring for him has been a snap so far. He’s a very chilled, cruisy, easy baby, thank fark. 

*the 4-month sleep regression looming on the horizon, rumbling ominously* LALALALALALA NOPE. SO CHILLED. A REALLY CRUISY BABY. YES INDEEDY. 

(tbh, parenting the Dwarfling takes WAY more effort than him at the moment! She’s at a very questioning, precocious, demanding sort of stage. Nearly 4yo now! WTH, WHERE DID THE TIME GO)

No writing has been happening, sad to say. The plan is to get to a point where I’m not collapsing each evening, and do some writing when the kids are in bed. So far, no dice. I’m still knackered!! But it WILL happen. I am not giving up this close to the finish line. 

I hope you’ve all been amazing, and that life is treating you gently, all my beautiful fandom friends and pals and mates out there. I’ve had you all in my thoughts so often – in between endless loads of washing and feeding kids and changing nappies and racing around like a headless chook lolol. Sending you all a gigantic virtual hug.  

lotsa love, 

Dets

Hi Dets! Hope everything’s going well with you and that real life is treating you well. A couple months ago I listened to a version of The Iron Hills For Me in minor and I wanted to find it again, but it’s not in the masterpost. Where can I find it, please?

Arrrrgh yes I have to update the masterpost. Mea maxima culpa, I will get onto that!

@belphegor1982 actually created and sang the Iron Hills For Me in the minor key! You can find it here. 

Re: the tag about Gimli’s dead Dwarf peanut gallery as Mulan’s ancestors, because the curiosity is KILLING me, how do you imagine the Dwarven version of ‘acupuncturists vs crossdressers’ would be over Gimli (and Kíli) being in love with an Elf?

Haban would absolUTELY be the one who says, ‘Don’t look at me, he gets it from YOUR side of the family!’ 

(she’s 110% right)

Fundin totally would have been the one who says, ‘MY children never caused such trouble; they both became civil servants, very respectable!’

Groin would have been the one bristling: “well, we can’t all be respectable!”

Aaaaaaand finally, Thror: “No. Your grandson had to be… a TREE-SHAGGER!”

holy. fucking shit. I started sansukh. and for reasons unknown. i only thought it was like. ten chapters. then i saw 1/47. and i. i was like what. the fuck. i think i had a stroke.

hey Nonnie, welcome to my complete inability to be concise 😀

(there’s the Sansukh Appendices, too… just in case you’re not already running for the hills…!)

also, fyi, the fic will finish at 50 chapters. So it’s nearly finished. I just gotta struggle against the massive inertia of my offline life and get those last few chapters done!

I just finished Sansûkh and IT’S PERFECT. I HAVE LAUGHED, CRYED, I HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO A BUMBLING MESS BY THE ABSOLUTE AWESOMENESS OF YOUR STORY. IT’S PERFECT. I LOVE IT. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND. AMAZING. I AM SPEECHLESS AND ALL THE COMPLIMENTS I WISHED TO DROWN YOU IN HAVE LEFT MY MIND TO LEAVE ONLY JOY BROUGHT TO ME BY YOUR PERFECT STORY. SORRY I CAN’T LEAVE A BETTER COMMENT BUT I AM A DISASTER OF HUMAN BEING EASILY OVER EXCITED. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU, A STORY SO GOOD IT’S HARD TO FIND

ME @ YOU

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, NONNIE! I AM OVER THE MOON THAT YOU ENJOYED IT SO!

I’m rlly hyped for the next few chapters of sansukh bc I know eventually were gonna get that sweet sweet kiliel reunion (also bagginshield like fuck yeah) Anyway I hope u have a nice day ty for your time

yes indeedy, all those reunions are most def happening! Thank you Nonnie *hugs*

(i guess that some people are still confused as to how I am gonna sort that bagginshield reunion, BUT IT IS HAPPENING. In fact, all the pieces have now been laid in place!)

I once read that Dame Judi Dench embroiders cushions with curse words and ‘fuck offs’ and the such on set. I mention this for this reason: I know that in the Halls ever Dwarf is back to their prime, and I know Hrera would never, actually, embroider curse words. But in my mind, Judi Dench is Hrera mostly because of that. Picture Dame Judi Dench dressed as she was in Pride and Prejudice dutifully embroidering cushions with ‘FUCK OFF YOU PEASANT’ or something of the sort. Hrera.

omg

Honestly, I can see Hrera embroidering something perfectly genteel and appropriate… on the outside. Nobody would see anything else, really. 

(however, if anyone ever went to the effort of unpicking all of those neat, tight stitches, in exactly the right order, the words ‘GO SIT ON A PICKAXE YOU LITTLE TURD’ might somehow emerge from the patterns and colours…)

stabbing a cushion several hundred-thousand times sounds like a good way to burn off your initial aggro :)))
