Hey! I just wanted to say that I love Sansûkh! It has helped encourage me in so many ways! So I crocheted Gimli, Gimizh, and Laerophen! I hope that you are doing well and taking care of yourself! Please take all the time you need!

[THORIN]
Where’s my brother?!

[BALIN]
Thorin, come in. They just brought him a half hour ago….

[THORIN]
Is he alive?!

[BALIN]
Yes, but the blade caught him just above his ribs…

[THORIN]
Can I see him, please?!

[BALIN]
Thorin, they did what they could..but the wound was already infected…

[THORIN]
Frerin!

[FRERIN]
Th-Thorin…
I did exactly what you told me.
I fought and held the line…

[THORIN]
Shh, I know, I know
Shh, I know, I know…

[FRERIN]
I…

[THORIN]
Shh, I know, you did everything just right.

[FRERIN]
Even before we took the Delf…

[THORIN]
Shh…

[FRERIN]
I raised my sword up high…
I….

[THORIN]
Shh, I know, I know.
Shh, I know, I know.
Shh, save your strength and stay ali-

[DIS]
-iiive!

[THORIN]
Namadith!

[DIS]
Is he breathing? Is he going to survive this?!
Who did this?
Thorin, why did you let him go?!

[FRERIN]
Dis, I’m so sorry for forgetting what you told me..

[DIS]
Nadadel…

[FRERIN]
We played the lute.

[DIS]
Amad taught us the lute…

[FRERIN]
You’d put your hand on mine.

[DIS]
You changed the melody every time.

[FRERIN]
I would always change the line…

[DIS]
Shh, I know, I know
Shh, I know I know…

[FRERIN]
I would always change the l-line…

[DIS]
Shh, I know, I know.
One, two, three, four –

[FRERIN]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine..

[DIS]
Good. One, two, three, four-

[FRERIN]
One, two, three, f-

[DIS]
-Seven, eight, nine…
…Seven, eight, nine….
….Seven, eight….

[BILBO]

Thorin, look at the eagles in the sky, wait!

…Azog struck him right between his ribs.

I call to him, but then he fades away.

They take him back into the mountain.

….I get a drink.

I hear wailing in the streets.

Balin says “See him,” I just want to hide.

How can I look his sister in her eyes…

And say I was at his side when he died?

Death doesn’t discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints.

It takes and it takes and it takes.

History obliterates…

And every picture I paint, I’m painting all my mistakes.

Did Thorin see those birds in the sky?

He wasn’t the first one to die,

But I thought, if I just wait for it…

…I survived and I paid for it.

No happy ending in our history.

I was too young, too blind to see…

I should have told…

Could I have known there was no time enough

For both Oakenshield and me?

The world’s not bright enough

With no Oakenshield with me…

DIS

I saved every letter they wrote me.
From the moment I bore them, I knew they were mine
You said they were mine
I thought they were mine…

Do you know what Vili said,
When he heard of your plans and designs?
He said: “Be careful of Thorin, love.
He will do what it takes to survive.”

You and your words
Overrode all their senses.
Your memories left them defenseless.
You built them palaces of our relics
You built cathedrals…

I’m rereading the letters they wrote me.
I’m searching and scanning for answers in every line.
For some kind of sign, and when they were mine
The world seemed to burn…
Burn….

You took all I held dear down with you.
The whole world saw how you brought my sons into their graves.
In reclaiming our home, you have spent our line…
Do you know what Balin said,
When I saw what you’d done?
He said: “He was brave and did what he could.
But he flew too close to the sun.”

You and your words, obsessed with our legacy!
Your greed and their sacrifice, senseless!
And you were paranoid at every twist and turn!
How ‘they’ would deceive you…
You, you, you, you….!

I’m erasing myself from the narrative.
Let future historians wonder how your sister
Reacted when you broke her heart.
You have torn it all apart, I’m watching it
Burn….
Burn….!

The world has no right to my heart!
No claim to the blood that they shed!
They don’t get to know what I said!
You took every memory, took everything here
That might have redeemed you!
You stole all the joy from my heart!
You’ve left me to bury the dead!
No life, only ashes instead!
And only the memories of when they were miiine!
….I hope that you
Burn…

(I AM SORRY)


Dets says: YOU SHOULD BE, god i have to record this, i have TO, goddamn it it’s beautiful

Hobbit4Ham STRIKES BACK

Dets says: @culturalrebel are you trying to make me record all the things


[THORIN]

After a week of fighting, the Orc force and the Easterlings grow still and sullen

[THE STONEHELM]

We lower our weapons in shock as they tell us the Enemy has fallen…

[DWALIN]

And just like that, it’s over.

We tend to our wounded, we count our dead.

[FILI]

The living and the dead all wonder alike if this really means freedom.

[GANDALF]

Not just yet.

[THORIN]

The tower of Barad-Dur turns to ashes

I see the White Wizard smile…

The Easterlings go back to their homeland

They stagger home, single-file.

Tens of thousands of Free Folk flood the streets!

There are songs and bells that are ringing!

And as our fallen foes retreat,

I hear the song that they all are singing:

[ENSEMBLE]

The world turned upside-down….

The world turned upside down…

The world turned upside-down…

The world turned upside-dooown, dooown!

Down, down down!

[DAIN]

Freedom for Erebor, freedom for the West!

[ENSEMBLE]

Down, down, down!

[THORIN]

Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee have completed their Quest!

[ENSEMBLE]

Down, down, down!

[THORIN]

We won!

[NARVI]

We won…

[DWARVES IN MAHAL’S HALLS]

We won, we won!

[ENSEMBLE]

The world turned upsiiiide-down!

More Hobbit4Ham

Just thought I’d add this;

Thranduil:

I signed a treaty with a king whose head is in basket. 

Do you want me to take it out and ask it?

“Should I help the dwarves King Thror’s head?”

“Uhh do what you want, I’m super dead!”

Thank you so much for posting my earlier submission! You guys are so talented and I love this crossover 🙂

MORE HOBBIT4HAM FROM THE WONDROUS CULTURALREBEL!

[DIS]

Oooh! I do, I do, I do, I

Doooo.  Hey!

Ooooh! I do, I do, I do, I dooo!

Nidoy, you got me

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m helpless!

Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em!

[DIS]

I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight.

We were at a party, kinsmen hearty on a hot night.

Laughing at Frerin while he’s dashing ‘round the room

Then you walked in and my heart went boom.

Tryin’ to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom

Everybody’s dancing and the band’s top volume.

Stomp to the rhythm as we wine and dine!

Grabbed my brother, said “No other.

This one’s mine!”

[DWARROWDAMS]

Oooh!

[DIS]

My brother makes his way across the room to you.

And I got nervous, thinking “What’s he gonna do?”

He grabs you by the arm, I’m thinkin’ you’re through!

Then you look back to me and suddenly I’m

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

Ooh, look at the eyes!-

[DWARROWDAMS]

Look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m-

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Down for the count and I’m drownin’ in them!

[DIS]

I’m so into you!

I am so into you!

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless! (I know that I’m)

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

Where are you taking me?

[THORIN]

I’m about to change your life.

[VILI]

Then by all means, lead the way.

[DIS]

Dis, daughter of Thrain.  Pleasure to meet you.

[VILI]

Lord Thrain?

[THORIN]

My sister.

[DIS]

Thank you for all your service.

[VILI]

If it takes fighting for the Delf for us to meet, it will have been worth it.

[THORIN]

…I’ll leave you to it.

[DIS]

One week later, I’m writing a letter nightly.

Now my life gets better every letter that you write me.

Laughing at my brother ‘cos he’s working on his glarin’.

[THORIN]

I’m just saying, if he hurts you, Frerin and I’ll shear him.

[DIS]

Ha!

Two weeks later, in the living room stressin’

My father stone-faced while you’re asking for his blessing

I’m dying inside as you wine and dine,

And I’m trying not to cry, cos there’s nothing that your mind can’t do.

My father makes his way across the room to you.

I panic for a second, thinking ‘We’re through!’

But then he shakes your hand and says ‘Be true.’

And you turn back to me, smiling and I’m

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m

Helpless! (Whoo!)

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

Helpless! (He’s mine! That Dwarf is miiine!)

Helpless!

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

M’lady, I don’t have a penny to my name.

An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame,

All I have’s my honour, a tolerance for pain.

A couple of years of crafting and my top-notch brain.

Insane! Your family brings out a different side of me.

Frerin confides in me, and Thorin tried to take a bite of me

No stress! My love for you is never in doubt!

We’ll get a place in Ered Luin and we’ll figure it out.

I’ve been living without a family since I was a wean,

My father left, my mother died, all those years so lean.

But I’ll never forget my mother’s face, that was real.

And ‘long as I’m alive, m’jewel, swear to Mahal

You’ll never feel so-

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

I do, I do, I do, I do!

[VILI]

Ghivasha…

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

I do, I do, I do, I do!

[VILI]

I’ve never felt so-

[DIS]

Yeah! Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

My life is looking fine ‘cos my Dis is in it.

[DIS]

I look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m-

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless! Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[DWARROWDAMS]

A new beginning in a new land.

A new beginning in a new land.

A new beginning in a new laaaaand….

[DIS]

Helpless…
