How are you writing Durin’s reincarnations as working? Does he retain memories of his past lives at all, or does he only get them back in the Halls? I like to think that maybe he has access to memory and understanding from his past lives, but can only understand them at a developmentally accurate level, so like baby Durin has no sequential memories whatsoever and is just a baby, but five year old Durin has his memories but struggles with contextualizing them as not just disjointed moments. (1/2)

(2/2) This interpretation of Durin’s memories appeals to me because I like to picture him in a circle of dwarflings, all demanding to know if he remembers any swear words. Little five year old equivalent Durin looks around solemnly. ‘You want me to use my gift of immortality, one of the most sacred stories of our people, to teach you to swear?’ They nod. That is exactly what they want. Durin leans in. ‘Fuck,’ he whispers. Someone clears their throat behind him. He turns. It’s Bomfris.

THAT IS THE BEST MENTAL IMAGE OMG – oh you are in for it now boyo…!!!

I’ve speculated a little about how Durin’s reincarnations might work in this post here, Nonnie! 

Aragorn in the films: reluctant hero who is weary of accepting the crown of his ancestors

Aragorn in the books: literally uses the palantír to give sauron the figurative middle finger because fuck you im the heir of isildur bitch remember this sword I FIXED IT

Adding to the Stonehelm + Hobbit ideas… What if his hobbit was Trotter, the OG Aragorn

OH MY GOOD GOLLY I’M CACKLING

So, anybody confused should read this post… and then this one, for the tags especially. 

well, the dynamic would be very… very different. Um.

the Stonehelm would spend a lot of the time perplexed and exasperated at this incompetent little Hobbit Leeroy Jenkins. I mean, I get the impression that Trotter would legit attack the ankles of a troll, if even slightly provoked. And he goes about the place trying to act all portentous and mysterious a lot. Which = ridiculous. 

So the Stonehelm would be saving his pugnacious butt, over and over again. There would be eye-rolling. 

Trotter would be calling the Stonehelm a useless wet blanket a lot, I feel. BC my version of Stonehelm is.. a bit diffident and self-effacing, and doesn’t feel like he’s as good as either his namesake or his father. He’s honestly a bit of a close-mouthed awkward butterknife… unless he’s truly and properly angry. So he’d be advising caution a lot. WHICH TROTTER WOULD HATE, bc he is THE SCION OF DESTINYYYYYYY. 

but maybe they’d also have Heartwarming Shenanigans, wherein Trotter would get some lessons in being less of a sword-happy ass having better judgement in battle, caution, respect etc… and the Stonehelm would learn to respect and admire Trotter’s sheer determination and refusal to give up or back down.

(Ol’ Gammer Boffin would hit them both with her stick, bc they’re both bloody idiots and she just dgaf.)
