It’s Dis! I have been working on this thing for daaayyysss. I kept having to tweek the sketch to make her proportions more dwarven. Determamfidd was kind enough to help me with the mourning mark placement on her. and despite the fact that you can’t see it on her(should be over her heart but her arm and hair is covering it) you can see Vili’s mourning mark (slightly cropped off sorry) up there in the corner. Now to ink and color!

THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Whilst trying to distract myself from sad feels I have myself…a sad feel. You said Vili was a stone mason. Was the rune stone Dis gave Kili as a reminder of his promise to return perhaps some simple little thing Vili made for Dis once, and she hoped ‘Maybe this time’ when her youngest laughed at her concern just like Vili. But the damn stone came back to her alone. She almost gives it to Gimli when he and Gloin set off for Rivendell, but no. She carries it to battle and thinks Maybe this time.

AUGH

And yeah, I wrote a headcanony thing on Vili in which he is particularly good at making rune-stones. BECAUSE OUCH. 

Any idea what Vili’s parents thought of him marrying Dis?

Var was a stonemason, and his wife Tillís was a scaffolder and mine-shorer. They both died fairly young, unfortunately – malnutrition and disease carried them off, as it did so many poorer people during the years of want. Vili was brought up by his aunt Vilia, a cheerful and absentminded Dwarrow who was loving, if totally scatterbrained and unprepared to raise a child. 

Var and Tillís watched their boy with absolute astonishment when he bumped into, and subsequently fell boots over beard for, the displaced princess Dis. They’d thought their boy was a good lad, but not the sort to catch the eye of royalty.

During the ensuing scandal, Var gloomily predicted that Dis would give up her common sweetheart. Tillís just worried about it all, really. She grew fond of Dis quickly, and didn’t want to see anybody hurt. 

When Dis defied all convention by marrying Vili and removing herself from the line of succession, Var had to eat a certain amount of humble pie. Tillís was over the moon – particularly after Fili was born. Tillís is absolutely the kind of grandmother who will sit you down and make you look at all her grandchildren’s pictures for hours and hours on end. 😀

dets, how did dis and vili meet? and fall in love? how was their relationship like? how have things been going between vili and his sons since they died? or are all of these spoilers because you intend to tell us in the fic? i mean, sansukh is filled with tragic stories and epic love stories and they’re almost definitely one of the top-ranked. it hurts my heart so much to think of dis and vili, really, and i love them so much and want to know everything about them!

Awwwww, they are beautiful, and I am so thrilled you enjoy them! I am hopelessly in love with them both. 

I wrote a headcanony thing on Vili here.

We witness the first meeting between Dis and Vili (through Fris’ eyes) here.

Also, check out the superb artwork by a-sirens-lullaby of Vili here!

Vili being super-exited when HreRa gives him a simple hair doodad, b/c it means that she’s accepted him. Hrera likes Vili because he makes Dis happy and he is partially responsible for great-grand babies.

IMMEDIATE HEADCANON YES

and Vili – cheerful, unpolished, friendly and chatty Vili trying to make small talk with Hrera, and failing dismally. And Hrera directing Vili the way she does with the rest of her unruly family, and wondering why in Telphor’s name that didn’t work… and then the pair of them finding common ground on food and Thorin and the lads and Dis… and watch out, everybody, the Broadbeam force of nature and the most incredibly devoted Dwarrow in the Halls are on the case. 😀

Hey Dets, during the time of the quest, did any of the then dead dwarves realise that Bilbo was Thorin’s One, the same way that most of the Company observed and guessed? Thror and Thrain don’t seem to have known, but did Fris or Frerin or anyone else perhaps wonder about it as they watched the Company move towards Erebor?

Ah 🙂

Yes, as you’ve gathered, Thror and Thrain didn’t figure it out. But Frerin definitely did. Even though it hurt him (and Frerin doesn’t deal very well with his own pain, only with other people’s) he watched the whole sorry story unfold. Thror and Thrain had to leave when Thorin fell under the gold’s spell (too much, too painful, too close, my son, my grandson, not you, not you, not again, no no no – ) but Frerin stayed. Frerin saw. Young, clever, immature Frerin knew long before Thorin did. He knows his brother, after all. 

Fris is an inconstant watcher. She is more likely to care for people one-on-one, where she can speak to them and care for them. She is very good at comforting those she loves, and watching people suffer at a distance is not something she can handle very well. She knew Thorin cared for Bilbo, but not to the extent that he did.

Vili visits Dis every morning without fail. Not in one hundred and forty years has he missed a sunrise. He now and then stopped in on his boys as well, and he noticed a thing or two that puzzled him – particularly after the Carrock. But there were so many more pressing things for him to consider, really. His boys’ safety and survival (and later, Kili’s immediate attachment to this strange Elven captain) occupied most of his thoughts.

Hrera spotted it immediately. She knows what it is to dislike a person on sight, and through time and circumstances come to love the very things that had once seemed so obnoxious and ridiculous. She knew the minute Thorin swung down from a ledge upon the Misty Mountains to rescue his ‘useless burglar’. After all, how many times did she rail against her allotted husband, only to choose him for herself in the end?
