poesiariptide:

I am so late for @determamfidd‘s birthday that in an attempt to make up for it, I am attaching, along with all the love and hugs, an (albeit very rough and sketchy for lack of time) illustrated version of my Thorin-Stonehelm-pouts-in-his-sleep headcanon, since I remember her saying she’d totally want to draw it.

Belated happy birthday, Dets! Hope you have a lovely year ahead ^_^

OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOD OH MY WOW

Woke up today with a burning need to draw that wonderful scene at the end of Battle of the Five Armies – you know the one, when Bilbo’s taking the tea-things up to the bench under Bag End’s oak tree where his husband is waiting?  I just really like the lighting, the atmosphere, not to mention Thorin’s outfit in that scene.  Probably my favourite bit of the whole trilogy.

(might colour the rest of this in later.  Then again, I might not…)

Dear Dets, do you ever think about what Bilbo’s experience might have been if he’d actually reached the Lonely Mountain after his disappearance from his birthday party?

Oooooh.

It would have been hard for him. Not just the journey (he’s a VERY elderly hobbit, after all) but.

Looking at certain places, certain areas in the Mountain. Of course, many things would have been VASTLY different, all that time… but different enough not to prick and prod at those memories? I don’t know…

Still, he would have been delighted to see and spend time with his old friends, all together at last. 

There would have been some… very obvious vacancies. 

(Silence is sucked into those gaps around the table, sinking heavier into the pauses where another is expected to take up the tale, or to shout their indignation… but they’re not there. They’re not there, and there’s a gap, a breath, and the silence sinks into it a little deeper every time.)

Imagine, all of them spending time together, and then maybe one of the Dwarves mentions something, or perhaps Bilbo begins a particular story… only for the words to trip and stutter to a halt upon a particular name. Balin. Oin. Ori. Fili. Kili. 

Tho-

Are you all right, lad? You’ve gone quite pale.

You’re one to talk, your beard’s turned whiter than my hair. And I’m perfectly all right. Just a momentary catch in the throat.

Happy belated birthday! And a minor Sansukh-related imagining: Mandos as a greedy bastard, a collector, entirely OCD about displaying mortal souls up in the original packaging like action figures, neatly arranged in elaborate tiers by family tree. Thorin calls him on it with absolute exasperation. “Sitting on all these souls like a dragon on his hoard! What difference would a single hobbit make?! DO YOU HONESTLY HAVE TO HAVE THE WHOLE SET? I ONLY WANT ONE. YOU NEVER PLAY WITH THEM….”

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA…!!!!!

“And here’s my pride and joy: my limited edition collection of Feanorians… unfortunately, one or two aren’t mint-condition any more…”

(Thank you, Nonnie!)

May be a (day? what even are timezones) and not very good, but I wanted you to know I didn’t forget your birthday *hugs*

You’ve really been a great friend to me, Dets, and I know we that even though we don’t talk much anymore (aside from bolstering back and forth gifs, which honestly are the best damn things) I will still always count you as one. You’re a good person, an astoundingly creative mind, an awesome mom, a great wife too I’m sure, and I bet one amazing teacher. I hope you had a fantastic day, because you deserve it.

I also hope you like the cake as well. Dain is no Stonebelly, but he can definitely mix batter (with only a somewhat awful mess). It’s made with chocolate straight from Harad, and decked out with the legendary goat cream of the Iron Hills. Dain’ll say he used a great eagle’s egg to make it, but don’t believe him for a moment. It was just normal chickens (Shire-bred chickens, the best kind).

Dets’ reaction: POPPPP

Thank you, Miss Pop, GOD. SO MUCH. 

*mad cackling*

Thorin kills Azog the Defiler, but at the cost of his life. His nephews mourn, as Fili, blinded in one eye from his brush with death on Ravenhill, is crowned King Under the Mountain. He will see Erebor restored, and while some grumble at his freeness with the wealth of the mountain in aiding others, none will ever say that he might fall to gold sickness. Erebor will know peace, under him.

Meanwhile, Bard the Bowman heroically have his life fighting to save the people of Laketown, now Dale. Queen Sigrid is crowned, the eldest heir of Girion, and the daughter of the Dragonslayer. She is firm, and crafty, and any who doubt her soon gain a strong respect for her caring heart and quick mind. She is grieving for her father, and trying her best to raise her siblings after tragedy; but she is strong.

The Elvenking fought like a hurricane, but was overwhelmed by a swarm of orcs as he was thrown from his mount. His body was found hours after the battle, in a circle of mutilated orcs. His son, who has never been the type for politics, puts aside his joy in patrolling with the guard and takes up his father’s crown. Legolas Thranduilion is perhaps not the best of kings, but he is kind, well-liked, and will not lead his people astray

YOU ASKED FOR THIS

Dets’ reaction: I DID, I DID ASK FOR THIS

augh yessss THE DELICIOUS DEVASTATION
