The Stonehelm found Thrain’s pennywhistle in the Heir’s apartments. He fixed it up and returned it to Dis, who gave it back to him. He plays it regularly. (Bomfris thinks it’s cute)

AUUUUUUUUGHHHHH I LOVE IT YES PERFECTION

*tears hair* CUTE AND ALSO PAIN

MY FAVE COMBO

Thrain and Fris are the proudest grandparents to ever proud. But really quietly.

Compared to Thror’s indulgence and Hrera’s fussing – absolUTELY. Fris and Thrain, in comparison, are a much quieter sort of Gran and Grandad!

Fris is a bit stern sometimes – no nonsense, please! – but so so tender and loving, omfg. And Thrain is just such a quiet haven. He’s the perfect refuge, really. He never judges, never presses. Just provides a safe place.

Thrain totally bring Fris sheet music as presents.

re: Dori knitting socks for Thrain in the halls. Totally wasn’t me, I cannot take credit for it. But well done Anon, you are my favourite, you have Thrain’s seal of a approval. ;D

You hear that, Nonnie! Thrain Likey 😀

After Dori enters the Halls, do you think that he would do any knitting for Thrain? (Maybe socks. You can never have enough socks)

(@justatouchofgoldsickness, is this you??? *squints*)

Bifur totally makes Thrain and Thror dolls for his shop. They’re fairly popular. You’ll often see small children play tea party with the Hrera and Dori dolls.

AH SO CUTE ❤

I’m squeezing over the thought of Thrain and the Stonehelm being awkward teenagers. Because they were. And it was glorious

PFFTHAHAHAHA

Happy headcanon: Thror and Hrera going to some sort of concert. Thrain goes too (old enough to be well-behaved and to enjoy the music, but young enough that he has to stick close to his parents most of the time). It is cute.

(and Thrain getting sleepy towards the end of the concert and curling up on his mum’s lap as she pats his hair, and Thrain carrying him home)

All the good dad Thrain headcanons. Good dad Thrain being very patient and answering all sorts of questions. Thrain helping toddler!Thorin cut his food into bite sizes. Thrain singing Frerin to sleep. Thrain changing diapers and dirty clothes.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Thrain and Fris probably had the quietest cutest courtship. Lots of talking over hot drinks and playing music together.

CUTIES

Thrain making Fris smile, Fris trying to get the (very serious, to her mind) Thrain to laugh. Never in-your-face or overt, just quiet and sweet. I LOVE IT.
