Culturalrebel has Hobbit4Ham’d (NEVER STOP)

[DIS]

Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now.

Look around, look around…

[THORIN]

How long have you known?

[DIS]

A month or so.

[THORIN]

Namadith, you should have told me.

[DIS]

That’s why I sent that raven a month ago.

[THORIN]

No!

[DIS]

And I told you to come home.

[THORIN]

You should have told me…

[DIS]

I’m not sorry.

…I knew you’d go until the search was done..

[THORIN]

Adad’s still gone…

[DIS]

But you must meet your brand new sister-son.

Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.

[THORIN]

Do you relish living in exile and strife?

No Mountain to provide for your life?

[DIS]

We relish being in your life.

Look around, look around…

Look at where you are, look at where you started.

The fact that you’re alive is a miracle.

Just stay alive, and that would be enough.

And if this child has a part of Vili’s smile

Or a fragment of my mind, then look out world!

That would be enough.

I don’t pretend to know, the challenges you’re facing

The memories replaying, unrelenting in your mind.

But I’m not afraid.

I know you, Nadadel.

So long as you come home by the end of the day,

That would be enough.

We don’t need this legacy

We don’t need money.

If we could grant you peace of mind…

If you could let me inside your heart!

Oh, let us be a part of the narrative

In the story they will write someday.

Let this moment be the first chapter

Where you decide to stay,

And they could be enough.

And we could be enough.

That would be enough.

*wibbles until I fall over in a heap, clutching heart and whimpering* @culturalrebel god i hope you’re satisfied

So This is my drawing of Thorin and his Mother Fris From the Fanfic Sansukh. It is an amazing fanfiction and is the best fanfic I have ever read! Cannot wait for the next Update!xxxx @determamfidd 

OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOD

I AM SUCH A SUCKER FOR THE FOREHEAD BOOPS OH MY GODDDDD

this is so gorgeous – and CIRTH TOO, holy heck, you wonderful, wonderful soul!!! *hugs drawing* FRIS AND THORIN aslkdjgfalshdfaljshfdgaljshdfa I cry 

thank you so so so much!

So I was re-reading the wonderful Sansûkh and various writings it inspired, and I had a thought: Just as Thorin is the first (probably only) dead Dwarf to be given some tangible connection to the living, Gimli is the first (probably only) living Dwarf to get some tangible connection to the mysteries and the dead. And that served some purpose in defeating the Shadow, obviously, but that wasn’t the explicit reason for which Thorin got his gift, and that certainly had nothing to do with Gimli’s

…when he rejoins living dwarfs, especially others known to those who have passed? Will it be obvious to them? Will he tell them? I don’t know how I’ve avoided asking these burning questions to date, to be honest. I was so caught up in the amazing drama of Sansûkh that I didn’t even think them until the One Ring was finally destroyed.

(I think I am missing an ask in the middle here, Nonnie!)

YES, that’s absolutely spot on! The first Dwarf ever to see into the mysteries, to know more than the living are permitted to know? is Gimli, (That Legolas knows also… and Aragorn… well, please refer to Oin and Balin’s attitudes there)

The reason Thorin got his gift? the pity of Mahal.

The reason Gimli grows to hear him so clearly? Practice and proximity.

And yeah, their connection does has a role in the Ring War in Sansukh, definitely! BUT it was not the intent behind Thorin’s Gift, not at all. (of course, Irmo had to meddle… :DDD )

Oooh, I am guessing a little bit here – but yes, I believe the changes in Gimli will be immediately apparent to those who know him well. Whether they can guess why he has changed, and what those changes are, depends entirely on how perceptive they themselves are. For example: Gimris and Mizim are both quite perceptive, but uh. Bomfris. Is not. 

We’ll find out how much Gimli tells when we get there, Nonnie! *hugs* thank you, this was an amazing ask, thank you so very very much!

[THORIN IN THE HALLS OF EREBOR]

In the eye of a hurricane, there is quiet.

For just a moment…a yellow sky.

I was young when dragonfire took all we’d earned.

But I didn’t burn

….I couldn’t seem to die.

I fought my way out.

Fought ev’ryone, far as I could see

I fought my way out.

I looked down and the kingdom had its eyes on me.

We passed from town to town.

And sometimes, strangers moved to kindness

By our story

Raised enough for us to book passage on a ship

Ered Luin-bound.

[RAP]

I fought my way out of hell.

I fought my way through strife and struggle

To keep our heritage away from death’s knells.

I fought the Pale Orc!

With a shield until he fell!

I fought against our enemies and defended us well!

And in the face of ignorance and resistance

I brought that ancient prophecy into existence!

And when my prayers to Mahal were met with indifference

I picked up a sword, and fought for our deliverance!

In the eye of a hurricane, there is quiet!

For just a moment…a yellow sky.

I was young when my brother died.

He was holding me.

In Khazad-dum, he was holding me…

….I couldn’t seem to die.

[BALIN]

Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.

[THORIN]

…I’ll fight my way out.

[COMPANY]

Wait for it, wait for it-

[THORIN]

I’ll fight everyone, far as I can see! *grabs Bilbo*

[COMPANY]

History has its eyeees-

[THORIN]

I’ll fight my way out!

Overwhelm them with authority!

*dangles Bilbo over the battlements*

This is the eye of the hurricane!

This is the only way I can protect my legacy!

[COMPANY]

Wait for iT, wait for it, wait for it, wait!

bisexualthorin:

remember that time sauron sent a messenger to ply info about bilbo and the ring from dain and dain was just like nah and immediately sent someone to go warn bilbo and make sure he was all right bc i do and i’m crying

so yea actual reminder that dain is actually canonically flawless and haters are probably jealous

tolkien intentionally and deliberately wrote him to fix everything that thorin fucked up, this is actual text if you read the hobbit and pay attention to everything said about him

where did he fuck up because of his tragic flaws? nowhere

understand what tolkien was trying to say

there’s no reason to hate him

lol fuck off my nice dain post with your trash

Swords and Pigs

theoneandonlyzoe:

Thanks to culturalrebel for letting me bounce off her lyrics to make this!

How does a ragtag volunteer comp’ny in need of a shower
Somehow withstand two diff’rent superpowers?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire
Leave the battlefield alive, screamin’ Baruk Khazad! higher?
Yo! Turns out we have a secret weapon.
The cousin Thorin knows and loves who’s unafraid to step in
He’s constantly confusin’ confoundin’ the orcish war force
Everyone give it up for the Iron Hills’ favorite fighting Dwarf-Lord!
(Ironfoot!)
I’m taking this pig by the reins
Makin’ pale orcs black with bloodstains
(Ironfoot!)
And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em drop and burn ‘em up and scatter the remains, I’m
Ironfoot!
I get a call for more swords
I ride forth with more dwarves
And pigs
And so the balance shifts
We rendezvous with ol’ Tharkun, consolidate this shit
We can end this war before it starts, cut it off at speed, but
For this to succeed
There is someone else we need – my friend
Oakenshield!
Well, he knows what to do in a pinch
Ingenuitive and fluent and swift, I mean
Oakenshield!
Well you’re gonna have to help him eventually – what we gonna do on the bench, I mean?
Oakenshield!
No one has his resilience, though lacking in practical tactical brilliance!

You wanna fight for your land back?
Get your arms and fight back!
You gotta get your arms and fight back!
I mean you gotta put some thought into you your letters
But the sooner the better
You get your arms and fight back!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

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!)
