*hugs* sorry.

Uncle Thorin, little Fili and bb!Kili (▰˘◡˘▰)

This is something my father used to do with my sisters and I. SO. MUCH. FUN. Pity we’re all too big now :’)

I don’t know why I did this to myself, but when our power went out last night, I decided the best idea ever was starting a Sansukh reread. THORIIIIIIIN! He’s come so far from chapter one. I have never been more proud of him or more in awe of your writing abilities. Thank you for sharing them with us.

oh my god Nonnie. okay – a) thank you SO much for re-reading, it is just the most amazing thing to see the word ‘re-reading’ I CAN’T TELL YOU how happy and brain-staticky it makes me!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH.

b) AHH yes he has! He really has! I absolutely wanted it to be a slow development while it was happening, hard to actually pinpoint – but obvious to see if you compared him to where he was in the beginning; back when all the dark obsessive thoughts were crammed inside him and never came out, when all that escaped was his hurt and his anger. Now he has time for himself and for others. Now he takes a break when things are too much, and insists that others do too. Now he can actually SEE how things truly are and not his own wounded, bitter, worst-case version of them. Now the dark thoughts arrive, but they don’t always stick. And if they do, he works to remove them, or seeks out help.

He’s learned some very good things from what he’s seen, done and heard.

He’s a smart cookie. Took him a while to get started at healing and managing himself, but once he began, he was unstoppable. Clever boy <3333

“We feared you lost,” he said.

“I’m harder to lose than you’d expect,” Gandalf murmured, and winked at Thorin.

lmaaaaaaao gandalf the white is a cheeky shit

Tbh with ‘that doesn’t rhyme’ I imagined Thorin knitting

?? Is this a reference I should be getting, my memory is as full of holes as fishnet stockings, please help the dumb old lady out?

Eek I was just imagining him sassing Gimli while sitting in a old chair and knitting like an old sassy grandpa

Sassy Grandpa Thorin then ruining the moment by being all “shit I dropped a stitch” and scrambling to fix it.

@jilydeathmonth I’m so glad we envisioned the same thing tbh

OH MY GOD YES

“kids these days. when i was your age I was a master blacksmith, settling the Blue Mountains and rhyming it up like Lin Manuel Miranda…”

lesbiankiliel:

NOPE

AHAHAHAHAHA I am an arsehole sorry *sheepish smile*

lesbiankiliel:

God I love these two

i realised i’d NEVER had Thorin surprise Gimli.

Thorin had walked in on people, but he’d never shocked them. He’d been shocked himself, instead.

Obviously, this had to be remedied 😉

lesbiankiliel:

Yoooo proper first-name basis!!

MOVING TO TRUE EQUALS NOW

gimli finally loses his awe of thorin, thorin FINALLY (jeez) realises that Gimli loves him just as much, sajkhdgflajsh i was proud of them both here, my smol hairy sons

(ALSO ILU ERINA <3)
