thorin oakenshield: *is a ruthless warrior full of bitterness and old hate burdened with his fathers and grandfathers failures and unable to forgive himself or anyone else*
also thorin oakenshield: *cries bc he has a crush on a lil hobbit who stole his favourite stone*
now I need the Angsty Ongoing Adventures of Thrain and Groin, both of whom are mourning the loss of family and spouse and damn-near EVERYONE, even as they try to care for six of the most stubborn, traumatised, determined and badass teens & kids everrrr
(Groin would shoot off his mouth when worried, as though arguing with Fundin like he always does… and Thrain ofc cannot respond the way his brother did. It falls flat, they both fall silent…
Groin saying ‘Haban’ thoughtlessly, without thinking, and
Thrain freezes in place, Groin’s throat trying to choke the next words, after …
Thrain sighing over the kids as they discuss what to do about them, this time, Dwalin’s so young, he’s so angry, and wee Gloin doesn’t quite understand, and he absently says, ‘I’ll see what Da thinks…’ or perhaps ‘Thorin, Frerin and Dis…’ before he remembers that it isn’t anymore, there’s no Da, it’s not Thorin-Frerin-and-Dis…
and oh GOD the silence. The awful silence that follows.)
What if elves were the short race and dwarves the tall race? Can you imagine a short Legolas and a tall Gimli? Or a short Thranduil? Or a tall Thorin? Because I sure can.
AAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA Fris and Daeris doing the ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ bwaaaaaaaa
(Fili and Kili are banned. The bar is run by Borin. He Does Not Forget.)
Dain would immediately request the Dwarven equivalent of Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ and proceed to roar it with great sentiment – and with the whole audience roaring along, ofc.
Aw Yiss
