Posted the cleaned up versions of all the Narvimbur drabbles I’ve done. (did I miss any?)

thanks to the-dragongirl, poplitealqueen, and goldberry-in-the-rushes without whom there probably wouldn’t even be this many drabbles.

and of course to determamfidd who got me into this pairing and Inspired my Narvi.

Second present for poplitealqueen‘s birthday. It’s Celebrimbor and Narvi! (this took my so long I have been working on it for about eight hours today alone). It was going to be cute cuddling but then Narvi was like ‘Dammit Kelebrimbur stop glowing I’m trying to sleep’ and Celebrimbor was amused. I hope you like it Pop! (the dain emoji’s will be presented during Dain appreciation week XD and I’m hoping to complete some more Old!Bagginshield for you during the day)

(inspired 100% by determamfidd ‘s portrayal of Narvi in Sansukh because it’s brilliant)

poesiariptide:

My overwhelming emotions for these two nerds, I swear. Especially in Sansukh-verse. I just had to let ‘em out all over my sketchbook.

I like to think this was in the early stages of their partnership, when they first started working together and their ideas kept clashing (hence the doodles on the board behind them) and they got so exhausted from the incessant and unproductive squabbling that they just dozed off amidst their books and drafts. It just happened to be propped up against each other. Total accident.

(I initially wanted to draw intricate braids or dreads for Narvi as she is usually depicted in Sansukh fanart but was terrified of messing them up so chickened out and gave her straightened hair. One of the perks of a modern AU is these little liberties.

The chicken scratch on the outline sketch of the Doors is supposed to be alternating Cirth and Tengwar script btw. Then they gave up and just scribbled in Westron to shoot down each other’s doodle designs. Oh you impossibly adorable idiots.)

OH MYYYYY GOOOOOOODNESSS THANK YOU SO SO SO MUUUUCH

lookitthesebeautifuldorks WOW <3333 *clutches heart* AUGH

Hey Dets! Question, are the petty dwarves in the Halls too? Like, is Mim there? If not what happened to them?

ooooooh good question… I expect so, yeah. Some of them. IDK, the Petty-Dwarves weren’t exactly minglers, I reckon they’d stick to themselves, perhaps they’d have their own areas. 

Considering that there’s a strong inference that the Petty-Dwarves were not a separate race to other Dwarves, but were in fact normal Dwarves who were long ago exiled from greater Dwarven society for crimes, etc., it may be that some of them are back on the reincarnation merry-go-round, trying to get it right this time. *shrug*

the-dragongirl replied to your post: anonymous asked:I thought Yavanna…

Do you happen to know what the source is for Hobbits being an offshoot of men? Because I was going through the Silmarillion again, and I can’t find it.

It’s specified in Tolkien’s letters, actually.

“Hobbits are, of course, really meant to be a branch of the specifically human race (not Elves or Dwarves).” (Letter 131)

“’hobbits’ were in any case a wholly dissimilar sort [from other Author’s creatures], a diminutive branch of the human race.” (Letter 319)

😀

I thought Yavanna made hobbits but I’m more than happy to fling that away bc Bilbo to Mandos is so much better! I also think that Custard would smell Bilbo’s problems and just flop onto his head. ~ the ‘IDK how there’s gonna be a happy ending’ anon

Nah I’m sorry, Yavanna’s children are canonically Ents, not Hobbits. The Yavanna-made-Hobbits thing is fanon, I am sorry to say. It’s SUPER adorable tho, it’s cute to think that the wife of Mahal had her own little hairy people and that they’re all parental of both, but yeah – Hobbits are an offshoot of the race of Men, and they go to the same afterlife as Men. And Yavanna doesn’t. Like. Dwarves. At. ALL. (they chop down trees!). *wince* idk, I like the fanon idea, it really is sweet! But the books don’t groove with it at all, sadly.

I sort of like the Hobbits-go-to-Mandos thing as well! CAN YOU IMAGINE, snrk. Mr. Mysterious Doomsman of the Valar meets say, Pippin. Bwaaahahahah.

Awwwww, Custard would. Also, I expect Bilbo would fuss and curse about all that blasted cat fur (”it gets everywhere!”) but would secretly slip Custard little bits of fish when nobody was looking, ❤
