Tag: stuff to make laughs

I’ve been meaning to ask you this for ages but how do you think Thorin Stonehelm got the name “Stonehelm”? I’ve got two headcanons and I don’t know which I like better. One is that he got it in battle, and the other is that Dáin accidentally dropped him on his head when he was a child but nothing bad happened because of the thick head of the Durin line, and that made Dáin call him his lil Stonehelm. (ps you can totally publish this)

HI HI HI ERINA *smishes*

oh my gosh, yeah, I’ve blabbed on this idea before, and my first thought was that perhaps he gained the epithet in battle

but then 

I thought: ‘what if he headbutted a battle-ram when he was a little kid…

..and the ram ran away bleating.’

And everyone in Erebor thinks it’s totally a battle-earned epithet. But EVERYONE from the Iron Hills of a certain age knows that it is a nickname that Dain gave his son.

because WHAT A HEAD, WHAT A HEADBUTT

POW baa baa baaaa

Sansukh fan art headcanon: Erebor as ground zero. Both letters arrive at once while Thranduil’s helping. Silver thermonuclear explosion stage left, red thermonuclear explosion stage right. Dual mushroom clouds. Dwarves everywhere going O_O and fleeing for their lives, except for Bofur in the center, who just sits down and laughs himself to death a la the weasels in Roger Rabbit; his soul flies away playing a harp, still laughing. (Dwarflings flee clutching cookie jars and various dolls.)

*pictures this in my mind’s eye*

*DIES LAUGHING LIKE BOFUR*

There are a few elf dolls running around in Erebor after the events of the Ring War. Legolas is obviously a decent seller. Laerophen and Merilin do decently, since they were in Erebor and people remember what they did. Galadriel sells some (Galadriel hair fixing anyone?), as does Elrond. Glorfindel has actually been a quiet regular for some time. Guy killed a Balrog – dwarves figure they can overlook the whole elf thing for that. Frerin actually had a Glorfindel doll before Smaug.

pfffffffft okay! I’m not too sold on the idea of Dwarves making Elf dolls before the Ring War, but totally afterwards, that would def be a thing!

(to consider: My Little Shadowfax, anybody?)
