MORE HOBBIT4HAM FROM THE WONDROUS CULTURALREBEL!

[DIS]

Oooh! I do, I do, I do, I

Doooo.  Hey!

Ooooh! I do, I do, I do, I dooo!

Nidoy, you got me

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m helpless!

Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em!

[DIS]

I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight.

We were at a party, kinsmen hearty on a hot night.

Laughing at Frerin while he’s dashing ‘round the room

Then you walked in and my heart went boom.

Tryin’ to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom

Everybody’s dancing and the band’s top volume.

Stomp to the rhythm as we wine and dine!

Grabbed my brother, said “No other.

This one’s mine!”

[DWARROWDAMS]

Oooh!

[DIS]

My brother makes his way across the room to you.

And I got nervous, thinking “What’s he gonna do?”

He grabs you by the arm, I’m thinkin’ you’re through!

Then you look back to me and suddenly I’m

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

Ooh, look at the eyes!-

[DWARROWDAMS]

Look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m-

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Down for the count and I’m drownin’ in them!

[DIS]

I’m so into you!

I am so into you!

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless! (I know that I’m)

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

Where are you taking me?

[THORIN]

I’m about to change your life.

[VILI]

Then by all means, lead the way.

[DIS]

Dis, daughter of Thrain.  Pleasure to meet you.

[VILI]

Lord Thrain?

[THORIN]

My sister.

[DIS]

Thank you for all your service.

[VILI]

If it takes fighting for the Delf for us to meet, it will have been worth it.

[THORIN]

…I’ll leave you to it.

[DIS]

One week later, I’m writing a letter nightly.

Now my life gets better every letter that you write me.

Laughing at my brother ‘cos he’s working on his glarin’.

[THORIN]

I’m just saying, if he hurts you, Frerin and I’ll shear him.

[DIS]

Ha!

Two weeks later, in the living room stressin’

My father stone-faced while you’re asking for his blessing

I’m dying inside as you wine and dine,

And I’m trying not to cry, cos there’s nothing that your mind can’t do.

My father makes his way across the room to you.

I panic for a second, thinking ‘We’re through!’

But then he shakes your hand and says ‘Be true.’

And you turn back to me, smiling and I’m

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

Look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m

Helpless! (Whoo!)

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

Helpless! (He’s mine! That Dwarf is miiine!)

Helpless!

Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

M’lady, I don’t have a penny to my name.

An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame,

All I have’s my honour, a tolerance for pain.

A couple of years of crafting and my top-notch brain.

Insane! Your family brings out a different side of me.

Frerin confides in me, and Thorin tried to take a bite of me

No stress! My love for you is never in doubt!

We’ll get a place in Ered Luin and we’ll figure it out.

I’ve been living without a family since I was a wean,

My father left, my mother died, all those years so lean.

But I’ll never forget my mother’s face, that was real.

And ‘long as I’m alive, m’jewel, swear to Mahal

You’ll never feel so-

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

I do, I do, I do, I do!

[VILI]

Ghivasha…

[DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless!

[DIS]

I do, I do, I do, I do!

[VILI]

I’ve never felt so-

[DIS]

Yeah! Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[VILI]

My life is looking fine ‘cos my Dis is in it.

[DIS]

I look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m-

[DIS/DWARROWDAMS]

Helpless! Down for the count and I’m drowning in them!

[DWARROWDAMS]

A new beginning in a new land.

A new beginning in a new land.

A new beginning in a new laaaaand….

[DIS]

Helpless…

Okay but Dis singing ‘Helpless’ and it’s about the first time she ever met Vili

OOOH YES YES THAT YES (based on my little Fris ficlet!)

[DIS]
I have never been the type to use my name to get ahead
Went out to the marketplace to buy my family some bread
Bored out of my skull and trying not to feel the gloom
Then you spoke up and my heart went “Boom!”
Tryin’ not to laugh as you’re joking and styling
Everybody’s frowning and I know I’m smiling

[DIS AND WOMEN]
Oh, he’s a nobody but oh he’s fine

[DIS]
Deep inside, there’s a whisper,
“Yo, this
One’s mine.”

You realise just who it is you’re talking to,
And I got nervous, thinking “What’s he gonna do?”
You spot my mother’s cloak, I’m thinkin’ “I’m through”

Then you smile up at me and

suddenly I’m
Helpless!

[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

At some point after Vili dies, Thorin finds a perfumer who sells the cheap (but nice) lemongrass pomade that Vili used. He buys a bunch and secretes it in Dis’ room.Dis finds it and 100% cries. She puts some on her pillow so it smells a little of Vili. Thorin makes sure she never runs out. Post-Botfa, the various Durin cousins continue this tradition. Gimli is responsible for sneaking the bottle into her rooms.

Oh jeez, and scent is such a superhighway to memories, and nnngh

ooohhhh I love it, it’s perfect – augh and also thank you Nonnie!

Speaking of “in case I die when you’re too young” letters, imagine who else has written these letters, as well as general “in case I die untimely” letters. Dis and Thorin both have stashes for Fili and Kili. Vili was skeptical, but Dis managed to get him to dictate one or two. Gloin did a pile before the quest for Erebor. All the letters before the war of the ring – Dwalin especially, having lost both his parents young.

lksdgfa;sdhsjaljgsalgfakjsh

(the ones from Thorin and Dis for the lads, though… Dis would find them after, and know that they were never meant for her. She would keep Vili’s as well, stained and rumpled from so many years of being crushed in the bottom of one of Fili’s drawers. She would have so many of these letters, all addressed to someone else.

Nobody would have expected her to outlive her children, after all.)

I actually already have Gimli writing a pile of these in Sansukh – he hands them to Gloin when they say farewell at Rivendell. One for Dis, one for the King, one for Gimris and Bofur, one for Gimizh. And one for his parents, of course. 

Gloin and Dwalin definitely would have written lots of just-in-case letters because of losing their parents at Azanulbizar… in fact, I believe Gloin would probably have written a novel (he’s a very organised Dwarf, is Gloin). Dwalin’s would be softer, though… and full of all the things he doesn’t say aloud. 

Fili and Kili totally do everything they can to have a badass bedroom in the Halls. Vili carved them a badass double bunk bed thing out of the stone (Frerin & Frar helped). Thrain made them really cool racks for stuff- and Thorin made weapons for some and Fris made musical instruments for others. Hrera made them (ugly, hard-won) knitwear. Zhori and Ori and Nori made them awesome blankets and linens (w/fighting patterns). All sorts of cool doodads that they made or traded for or were gifted.

OOOOH very cool ideas! Heh, I wrote a music/drabble thingy about Fris making a violin for Fili: perhaps she made him a stand, too!

(double bunk beds set into the walls always and without fail make me think of Red Dwarf. It is a curse I must bear.)
