Sansukh worldbuilding question. Do “regular” people know if they’re the reincarnated version of someone who died very young? Obviously Durin (and possibly the other 6 progenitors if they get reincarnated) know that they’re /them/ … eventually. But for your average Joe, who doesn’t have any prophesy or signs or whatnot, do they know that this is their second time on the merry-go-round?

Hey Nonnie!

Nah, I don’t think they do. They’re as whole a person now as anybody else. Their previous ‘possibility’ is not more important than their current reality. YMMV, though, this probably holds true for most, but not all Dwarves. It’s a tricky and sort of vague area!

I’ve just started listening to Hamilton, it’s not bad so far, but when ‘You’ll Be Back’ came on, all I could think was ‘it’s Sauron or Saruman’s them song!’ I know you’ve done Hobbit/Hamilton things, did you consider that one or was it just me?

oh, most of the Hobbit4Ham stuff is the work of the inestimable @culturalrebel. She submits the amazingness to me, and I publish it.

She made a ‘You’ll be Back’ version from Thranduil’s POV which is absolutely goddamn delightful (so delightful I had to sing it!!!) but we haven’t tried a Sauron or Saruman one! Perhaps we should, that’s a great idea!
