Two Finnish students decided to build a slightly more hardcore gingerbread house. (source, in Finnish tho)

Slightly

is that Barad-dûr

Here’s a picture of the finished Ginger-Dûr. (Source: Turkulainen, unfortunately only in Finnish, but there are other nifty gingerbread houses in the gallery. My other fave is the Moomin house.)

this pleases me

For thefemalegamgee. She commissioned me to draw her as a dwarrowdam. She wanted to be a singer (I mean she already is, but a Dwarf singer as well) so I humbly obliged.

Her lip ring, which denotes the status of a master of the art of making particularly pretty vocal noises, is not my headcanon. It belongs to the lovely determamfidd. It’s just really, really, really helpful to show people are singers.

Gamgee, I imagine you would be an accomplished singer by a very young age. Your skills would be in demand from Ered Luin to the Orocarni, and–hard worker that you are–you would have taught yourself oodles of languages and dialects to sound authentic anywhere you go. Whether it be a grand voice booming in opera houses of Gondor, the silky warble of the Elves under moonlight, or the deep thrum of the Dwarves like the sound of stone itself, you would sound…hella.

(And I really think the diligence and commitment to your craft would reflect the dark-name I came up with for you… Atrâtulerzûkh. Vigilant Rain, remember? :3)

Anyway, hope you like it!

Hello! I understand your reasons for not wanting to post the numbers of auditions for individual parts until they’re cast (and I would totally be interested in hearing those numbers at that time). For now, though, would you be willing to tell us the total number of auditions period? Like, how many mp3s you now have to listen to? I’m pretty impressed even without knowing the number (kudos to you!!), but I’m also really curious.

sansukhpodfic:

If we post the number of auditions per character, we’ll definitely wait until we’ve cast everyone.

As for the auditions total… let me check.

Mahal’s blessed balls. 616 individual audition files. You are all freaking incredible. I think I may need to lie down for a bit.

616!!!!

*is speechless*
