@determamfidd Your little NSFW ficlet with Bilbo and Thorin has now officially become accompanied by “Touch-a touch-a touch me” from Rocky Horror Picture Show in my head. Eternally. It will not go away. And I couldn’t stop giggling at work because of it.

OH MY GOD TEH. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

(thorin would ROCK a pair of tiny gold shorts, just sayin.)

(ALSO. THAT MAKES BILBO JANET. WHICH IS… STRANGELY APPROPRIATE.)

Here’s to 2016

tehri:

It’s 1:30 am here in Sweden, and I’d like to give a couple of sincere thanks for the past year and for many years before, and for many more to come.

@determamfidd – It is not too long ago that I started reading Sansûkh, and from the start I loved every moment of it. Thank you, once more, for writing it, and thank you for being the amazing person you are.

@maltedmilkchocolate – We may not talk much anymore, but you have no idea how grateful I am to know you and to have you as a friend. You are amazing, and you always will be.

@missmultifandommess – You are one of the first people who ever started to follow me on tumblr, and you have always been amazing and sweet. Thank you for being there, hun. You have no idea how much it means.

@notanightlight – We only ever started talking because of Sansûkh, and we might not talk much, but god knows you are one of the kindest and sweetest human beings I have ever spoken to. Thank you.

@bioloyg – Having met you via the WTNV-fandom became a whirlwind. You have ever remained this steady amazing presence, and I’m glad to have started speaking to you at all back then. Thank you.

@fuzzyanus – God knows we have never spoken much, maybe on two or three occasions? But you have ever remained one of the kindest and sweetest people I’ve seen posting on tumblr. Bless you.

@thysillia – We’ve been friends for so long now, nearly twelve years soon. You are by far my best friend, and I love you very much. I’m bad at saying it, but you mean so very much to me. Thank you.

@skelephantitis – My dear cousin, you mean so much to me. You are more of a little brother than a cousin, and I’m grateful for every day I have you in my life. Thank you for always being there, love.

@aurasama – My dearest most sweetest love. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the two years we have spent together. 2015 was eventful for us, and now you are my fiancé. I love you, angel mine, so very much, and I always will. No matter what. ❤

Hobbit Owl, you are one of the most open and genuine and beautiful people I have met. I am so lucky to know you. Thank you so so much, Teh. *hugs you*

For the amazing Dets

tehri:

Thank you.

Thank you for writing Sansûkh. Thank you for portraying Thorin so well. Thank you for accurately portraying someone struggling with depression, anxiety, self-loathing and extremely likely PTSD.

Thank you for this.

Thank you for showing that it gets easier to live with it. Thank you for showing that despite the large amount of time he spent working on this, he is still not done. Thank you for showing that he has the support and love of so many. Thank you for showing that no one loves him any less for all his flaws.

Thank you for all of this.

It helps. You have no idea how much it helps to see someone actually portraying Thorin this way, to make him face his demons and not instantly defeat them. To make him very slowly, day by day, starting to learn to live with them and accept them as part of him, and to make him slowly figure out how to change himself and start to love himself.

It helps because depression and self-loathing have both been big parts of my life. It helps because you show that it DOES get better, for all that it takes time. It helps because you don’t say that it goes away instantly, that it’s a very long and slow process. Because god knows I’ve been frustrated beyond belief with myself and my inability to just walk away from my problems as neurotypicals seem to think that one should be able to.

Thank you.

I’m crying here. Proper real wet tears. 

Thank you, Teh. I can’t ever ever ever ever tell you how much this means to me. I can’t tell you how incredibly INCREDIBLY important this is to me, and how much it affects me down to my bones, to hear that you feel the same way and are struggling through the same shit. That because I wrote Thorin in this way – as a hero sure, BUT as a hero who lives and must come to terms with depression, phenomenal self-esteem and identity issues, anxiety, intrusive thoughts (and yeah definitely PTSD) – I have helped. 

Seriously, I am crying. Blotchy red-faced Dets with a runny nose. 

Thank you, most wonderful Hobbit Owl. Thank you so very, very much. *hugs for a zillion years*

Every single post I see about the Sansûkh podfic project is making me squee with pure joy. There’s no other way of putting it. I am overjoyed that this is happening, I’m so happy to see people getting involved in this, and it’s amazing to see the cast interact on tumblr. Every single one of you are frigging amazing and adorable. ❤

You are a beautiful person, thank you gorgeous tehri
