An idea occurred while working on something a friend requested of me. ☆ Don’t blink or you’ll miss it, Bilbo!

Old farts flirting hohoho

For @northerntrash, whom I promised this silver-fox Thorin comic a while after having our breakdown about it because oh boy Silver Fox!Thorin ages so fine like wine, and you know he’d be much a flirt than movie!Thorin.

Middle-Earth Meme: five races [1/5] → dwarves

They are stone-hard, stubborn, fast in friendship and in enmity, and they suffer toil and hunger and hurt of body more hardily than all other speaking peoples.

okay but Dwalin and Orla taking turns bringing their babies to work. Somehow tiny baby dwarfling strapped to their bodies only highlights how fierce they can be.

ohgosh augh my heart.

Like, can you imagine Dwalin or Orla with a hugabub or ring-sling or similar

(stock photo from hugabub website btw)

They would be so giant compared to the ittybitty tininess of a newborn, and oh my god it would make them appear even more terrifying – but at the same time terrifyingly adorable

Dwarves referring to babies as “pebbles” though

via @hattedhedgehog

#dwarves #erebor #but like #they call infants and toddlers pebbles more often than they use the word baby #like instead of saying ‘so I heard you have a baby on the way’ it’s ‘ahhh I hear you’ll have a little pebble of your own soon!’#or ‘how many pebbles?’ ‘two/how bout yourself?’#and sometimes parents just refer to their child as The Pebble instead of by name #pebble is just a cute name for dwarf babies

@northerntrash

Thorin sometimes referring to Fili and Kili as ‘pebbles’ cause that’s what he’s been calling them for the most of their lives. Bilbo being amused by it and adopting the nickname. Fili and Kili frothing with rage cause THEY ARE NOT CHILDREN ANYMORE, but silently enjoying it.

determamfidd have you seen this omg hella yeah

OMG GAMGEE… I am blinking and squealing a bit, bc, yeah I have been doing this one for a while, (I HAVE A TINY TINY PROUD OMFG)

*shyly pushes forward Yours Faithfully, from July this year, and also, Little Wild One, from 2013*

I am utterly in love with Dwarven children being called ‘pebbles’ it is the cutest freaking thing, I’m so happy that others agree!

Does Mahal ever get really angry or disappointed with his dwarves? If a dwarf who stole or harmed others stood before him, how would Mahal act?

Of course Mahal would get disappointed in his Dwarves, though I feel he has a certain indulgent attitude towards them… but still, I doubt that for instance, the Dwarves who killed Elu Thingol got re-embodied in the Halls somehow.

Mahal obvs doesn’t mind a bit of petty larceny and theft, though. I mean, Nori’s still there! But those who commit grievous and premeditated harm, those who are actually malicious, doing evil with full intent and enjoyment, yes… I don’t think Mahal would have any time for them at ALL.

I also think that Mahal doesn’t really get ANGRY-angry easily… the guy is impatient, sure, but he is also, as Tolkien goes to some pains to say, very humble. Also, as the Maia of stone and minerals and craft, his temper would run slow and cool, like rock… until it REALLY gets hot.

Then, of course – boom.
