omg aljsgdlajh thank you, you gorgeous generous human being <333
Soooo, it is late (SORRY)! But this is for @gigolasweek day 3: Languages. Yes, I am singing both Legolas and Gimli, it is super confusing. I have put the translation under the cut!
Gimli is Bold Legolas is italic
Words both in Neo-Khuzdul and in Sindarin, bc I am a glutton for punishment.
There are a million and one reasons why you should listen to this.
One, Dets is a damn talented singer holy crap.
Two, DO YOU HEAR THOSE OHssss? Oh my god wow.
Three, the music playing in the background is very catchy.
Four, LISTEN TO HOW SHE SWITCHES BETWEEN SINDARIN AND KHUZDÛL LIKE IT’S NOTHING.
Five, it’s really, really funny.
So so great
*gasps and clutches chest* ahh you are SO NICE i will EAT MY ENTIRE DESK – thank you so much, Pop! I am so thrilled you liked it!!
Other than being perfection set to music, another reason to listen is that this song is meant to be sung on roller-skates. Picture it. Picture them dancing on roller-skates while Aragorn sits in a corner smoking his pipe and trying not to be a third wheel.
Meanwhile somewhere in Mahal’s halls Oin and Balin are having aneurysms over an elf singing in Khuzdul.
HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND THIS AND I AM DYING YOU ARE AMAAAAZING
(Gimli is def Ginger in this scenario… which makes Legolas Fred. hahahahahaha)
I love everything about this, I can’t BELIEVE you made my funny little filk into a pic, I love you forever! And what a pic…!!! Gimli’s beard, unf, I wanna bury my face in it (UNF) and their expressions, and their poses, and AUGH their COLOURS AND the BODY TYPES I JUST *explodes*
The whole Aragorn-being-a-third-wheel joke just gained a level of puntastic punnery that I cannot even compass, it is too glorious to comprehend
Thank you, @squidspawn! Thank you sososososososo MUCH!
(as it is, I buy an artwork every month or so, bc I love their works and I love to support them, but yes – OH IF I HAD A BUNCH OF MONEY)
ON THAT NOTE THOUGH! I know that the following brilliant artists currently have commissions open! I would be a total jerk if I didn’t mention them, considering the topic. I urge you VERY STRONGLY to go check out their incredimazingness, and contemplate buying yourself some art
(you absolutely do not have to consider Sansukh at all, DO IT FOR YOU)
more Gimli. (shhh drawing beards is so fun) I’m sick and trying not to fall asleep so doodles. An excuse to draw Gimli freckles. Why haven’t I been giving him freckles all along? This technically could have nothing to do with sansukh but it’s Sansukh’s fault I’ve been drawing him so much so it’s getting tagged
Aw Yiss
