I think we as a society need to let go of the idea that androgynous look is Tolkien-Elves (men) and lean toward the idea that the androgynous look can also be Tolkien-Dwarves (women)
This is good we love this
Tumblr media
BUT THIS IS GOOD TOO ANDROGYNOUS CAN LOOK LIKE THAT

I am once again asking you to check out Sansûkh by @determamfidd .
Still in (but almost done with!) my recent Bagginshield study of the amazing tale linked above, and was struck with the need to draw Bilbo having tea with Thorin’s mother, the lady Frís, daughter of Aís, Princess Under the Mountain and wife of Thráin. At one point, she literally drags Thorin off for a tea break and he remarks (internally) on the similarity of the treatment! She is a powerhouse, too, and I love her, so here we go.
Her bio, from the author’s notes on the fic:
“Frís was the daughter of a wealthy Guildmaster, Folgar, and his musician wife Aís. She did not have the height of the great Longbeard families, being only 4’4”. Her hair was wheat-gold, and her eyes a very striking blue. She was exceptionally intelligent, very perceptive and shrewd, but also extremely compassionate. Her craft was wire-working, and she also made strings and cords for instruments. She married Thráin son of Thrór quite young and bore three children, the two eldest of which inherited her blue eyes. Her great joy was her harp, a joy she passed on to her oldest son Thorin and her daughter Dís (her middle child, Frerin, preferred the fiddle). Frís was killed when the dragon attacked Erebor in 2770 TA.”
(Also, my take on her based on both @jeza-red ’s design and @fishfingersandscarves’ design for @sansukhcomic )
This piece also protected by Glaze again 💜
(This may be the last piece that I give the photographing-with-stuff treatment, though, as much as I like how I’ve brought that style of presentation together, over the years. I actually enjoy the slight distortion that the Glaze treatment gives my scanned pieces, being a vibe-cousin of when you can see the texture of the paper in my work, imho. But as much as it doesn’t ruin the perception of the piece, the process feels more noticeable to me in this presentation, so everything from here on out might be scanned instead. We shall see. Either way, I am not going without it. I can’t undo what work of mine has already been stolen by AI software, but the peace of mind – even if its a temporary one – that applying Glaze gives me is priceless. So, again, thank you thank you thank you everyone on the Glaze team.)

not so much a fic writer question from the list, but your reply to #48 got me thinking - have you read Sansukh by @Determanfidd? If yes, what did you think of it?
I have! Probably much more recently than every other person on the planet who likes Legolas and Gimli, but I finally have and I adore it.
It took me a while to get fully invested, in part because I'm not really a fan of the leaning-into-movieverse-and-then-pushing-further thing that people have a tendency to do where they really dial-up the antagonism between Legolas and Gimli, which this fic did do in the beginning so I gave it a little side-eye about that for the first few chapters (but thankfully by then I was already intrigued by the dwarves so I kept reading)...and in a much larger part because—and I realize that I'm about to speak sacrilege in the eyes of many here, yes—I simply do not care about Bilbo and Thorin as a couple. I don't! I actually filtered that tag out when I first started looking through the Legolas/Gimli tag on AO3 because of how completely disinterested I was (hence Sansûkh not even showing-up in the tag for me at first lol).
But I kept seeing references to it on tumblr and in fanart (in particular this one) so one night when I ran out of other stories that I was interested in reading I finally popped it open...and, huh, that's an interesting beginning, okay. So I read a little more. And I found myself quickly getting interested almost in spite of myself in all these dwarves whom, I must confess, I genuinely could not remember which was which in most cases (meaning their depictions in the movie; I couldn't place which name went with which dwarf; I googled a few times I'm not going to lie). So it was interesting also in a more meta-sense, because here was this author taking existing canon characterizations and details and building up a whole society upon them...but to me, they were effectively complete OCs. So it was I'm sure a very different reading experience for me than it was for most readers, because I had no context for over half the canon cast!
(The only reason I sometimes know who the movie dwarves are now when people reference them is because of this fic I am not kidding.)
Although speaking of OCs...oh my stars, the OCs in this story are amazing. I'm glad especially that I already had a Mirkwood Populace of my own conceived before I read this, because Laerophen in particular is just the best and I want to read a dozen more stories with him and it would be very difficult to be trying to come up with Mirkwood OCs now without ending up with pale imitations of Legolas's brothers here if I hadn't already had Rilaerloth and company living in my head.
(I will forever live in hope that the author will someday figure out a way to write an original novel with the general premise of that ending trio's journey to the east because that would be amazing.)
Anyway, Sansûkh very quickly went from "I suppose this is interesting" to "I am so invested in this entire universe holy crap" for me and I've actually read the whole thing through twice now. I actually even gave a crap about Bilbo and Thorin's relationship by the end! I was rooting for them so hard!
Absolutely great fic. Spectacular world building, great character work both for the canon folks and especially for the OCs. Love it, recommend it with enthusiasm...even to folks who potentially don't ship one of the main couples, or think they have no interest in most of the characters XD
Although I maintain that I do still want this fic too.

So. Sansûkh. Indeed Sansukh Week 2022. Thank you  @fishfingersandscarves​ for prompting me to actually finally record this damn song, edit and post it!
Day 7 of Sansukh Week, celebrating a year since the fanfic was completed, is about endings. This song is about the ending of the fanfic, and the emotions it gave me. I wrote it whilst I was ill with COVID, about a week or two after Sansukh finished. I then forgot about it. Did some editing. Forgot about it some more. Asked @oakwyrm @hobbitsoupbowl and @fishfingersandscarves if I could use their art, they graciously said yes, I forgot about it. Now it is here!!!
This video is a) an emotional retelling of a weird emotional; b) a massive thank you to @determamfidd; c) a joke that I mainly did because I thought of the last line and it made me giggle.
I’ll reblog with links to the original art and the backing track I used! Video description under the cut
Video description: video of a series of images, set to illustrate a song. The song is “Into the West” from The Return of the King, with some altered words, sung by an alto voice over a kareoke backing track.
Lyric “Hope fades into the world of night”
Image: Living in 2021 like...
Lyric “Through shadows falling”

Omg fish I can't believe you're 21, you've been such a staple in the hobbit community I thought for sure you were near 30! Are you telling me you were only 13-15 when you started doing all that stuff for Sansukh?? And your story with Faramir instead of Boromir??? I mean holy shit kudos, and I totally mean this as a compliment, but I could not tell you were a teenager. In hindsight some things make sense now lol, I'm also just oblivious. Happy birthday, and thank you for all you do for the Tolkien world!
Ajdjfkg thank you so much!! And haha actually I was 11-12 when I started doing hobbit/sansûkh fanart 😅 tho I think I was maybe 15 when I started writing I tadui hanar

Gather 'round, everyone...
...for a fic rec that's the beginning of a JOURNEY. If you like The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings but wondered what the Dwarves were doing all that time...
If you like extensive worldbuilding, thoughtful consideration of a culture vastly underdeveloped in canon, and a beautiful language (yes I am looking at you, Mando'ade, meet Khuzdul)...
If you like neurodivergent characters, aspec characters, relationships of every shape, and queer characters of every stripe treated not just with dignity but with respect...
Those characters are jewels in this shining tapestry of Dwarrow Culture, lovingly crafted until it's just as detailed as any canon Elven tradition that J.R.R. Tolkien created.
That doesn't even touch upon the constellation of fanart, fic, songs, poetry, the multi-cast podfic, or any of the other fanworks that this fic has inspired. It has been a part of many people's lives for seven years and counting.
And it's long. With this update, the finished fic is longer than The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy combined. But it's finished, so you can take your time and really enjoy. This is truly the story of the Dwarves of Middle Earth.
Sansûkh
by @determamfidd
Summary: (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Finally had the chance to start my reread of Sansûkh by @determamfidd in honor of its completion! I’m currently 8 hours in and on Chapter 19! I’m absolutely loving every moment!
It’s a fandom treasure of all treasures for sure and I highly recommend it if you’ve never read it.

It’s here! A preview of the story I wrote for @bagginshieldzine​!! This is my first ever zine contribution and this story is really special to me.
It’s looking like a November 28th launch and there are a lot of great authors and artists participating. Be sure to check it out, we’d love the support!
[Image Description: Text is on a cream colored background that fades into green on the bottom. Title is bolded and says “The Music Between Us”, followed by the author name, Polymathic Dragon. Preview Text begins below the author:
Thorin shifted slightly, his hands fidgety, and Bilbo couldn’t help but think he seemed nervous. 
“How are you liking the playlist?” he finally said. 
“Oh! I really like it. I’ve listened to the whole thing multiple times.” 
Thorin smiled and nodded, “I’m glad. Listen, I was wondering…” Thorin started, but then stopped, looking away. He looked back at Bilbo, who was waiting expectantly. 
“Well, um. They are actually playing here next weekend. Well, in downtown. And I was supposed to be going with a friend, but he had to back out. And I was just. I didn’t know if you. Um. Wanted to go?” 
Bilbo blinked a few times, processing the question. Thorin wanted him to go to a heavy metal show with him? Bilbo almost laughed at the thought, but caught himself. He’d hate to make Thorin feel like he was laughing at him, so instead he smiled. 
“Sure! That’d be great.”
Text ends. Below the text the green background says, “A Bagginshield Zine: Acorn & Arkenstone” and lists the social media handles.

I’m so sad now. My hard copies of Sansukh were on their way but my tracking says delivered and they are nowhere to be found. 😫 so now I have to put in a support claim with Lulu because FedEx was absolutely no help.

Terms of Endearment
A Bagginshield Fanfic (also available HERE on ao3)
Summary: Khuzdul terms of endearment are pretty common and Bilbo has heard them all, though he's a little wary of using Hobbit terms of endearment as he's not sure how well they will translate. But after so many years of being together he decides he can't help himself anymore...and it turns out to be the best decision. 
Rating: General audiences
This story is all because I had a random headcanon based on this tiktok. I posted it into our Bagginshield discord and it ran away from there and I knew I needed to write it!
I wouldn't have been so excited to write this without so many amazing ideas and Hobbit endearments from my friends over on the discord. They include: @the-game-is-up @curiousartemis @lesbiankiliel @imsoconfused16 @mulasawala @mandolinearts
Story below the cut!
Bilbo had settled into his new role as husband and King’s consort well, he had tried hard to make sure that he understood and respected Dwarven culture and customs, while also sprinkling in a bit of Hobbit sensibility where he could. Thorin had always called him sweet terms of endearment in Khuzdul, which he now understood much better having learned the language and its meaning, and Bilbo would smile and reply in kind. It wasn’t that Hobbits didn’t have terms of endearment, but he didn’t think that they’d quite translate well, so he let them slip from his mind. Until one day, he couldn’t help himself.
It was one of those rare occurrences that Thorin and Bilbo actually had a day to themselves, which seemed to be less and less as the years went on and the mountain fared better than it ever had. Bilbo was laying in bed still, covers strewn around him, while Thorin had gone to grab them breakfast. As he returned and handed Bilbo a steaming cup of tea, Bilbo grinned.
“Good morning honeycake,” he said as he took the cup from Thorin’s hands.
At first Thorin just nodded, “You’re wel--” but then blinked, “what did you call me?”
Bilbo just laughed and Thorin cocked his head a bit but just let it go, instead climbing up into bed with his own tea and as they enjoyed a quiet morning together.
---
It was a few weeks later and Thorin had been working late at his desk, pouring over paperwork. A pile that no matter how long he sat there, never seemed to diminish. Bilbo walked in quietly, placing his hand on Thorin’s shoulder.
“Hello, my lovely potato.”
Thorin leaned back, smiling up at Bilbo, “Hello, ghivashel.”
“How are things going?” Bilbo asked.
“As well as usual,” Thorin sighed, then he looked up at Bilbo, a small smirk, “Am I a sweet potato?”
Bilbo broke into giggles and Thorin dragged him into his lap, placing lingering kisses all over his face and neck.
---
And so it began, Bilbo didn’t want to overdo it so he waited for the right moment, whenever Thorin was distracted doing something else he would break out a Hobbit endearment.
Thorin was sitting in his favorite chair, reading a pile of documents. Bilbo came in from a meeting and walked up to him, reaching out his hand which Thorin took instinctively.
“Hello, my handsome parsnip.”
“Hello,” Thorin said, distracted still as his eyes scanned the document. Until it seemed he had processed what Bilbo actually said. He blinked and shook his head, looking up at Bilbo, “What is a parsnip?”
---
Bilbo found Thorin one day in his forge, he had been working on a project for weeks and had come to bed late most nights, smelling of smoke and metal. It was a smell Bilbo had long gotten used to. He stepped carefully into the forge as Thorin pulled a piece of metal out of the fire. Thorin smiled at him, lifting his hammer in a slight wave.
“Hello my darling mushroom king,” Bilbo called, a smile plastered on his face.
Thorin paused, setting down his hammer, a slight frown, “Now that’s just offensive.”
Bilbo laughed as Thorin put down the red hot metal he was working with and pulled off his gloves to come over to Bilbo. Bilbo took his hands, “But you're my mushroom, a rare one at that. And I’m so lucky to have found you.”
Thorin leaned down and kissed Bilbo, pulling him into his arms, “As sweet as that is amrâlimê, I hate mushrooms.” Bilbo laughed into his chest.
---
Thorin had been in council meetings for the past two days, they were hosting Men, Elves, and Dwarves of the Iron Hills, hoping to expand trade agreements in the north and also strategize safety and security. Orcs had appeared more frequently recently, coming from the north out of Mount Gundabad. Thorin felt like the headache forming behind his eyeballs would blind him permanently. Bilbo had been in meetings as well, and so they had barely seen each other at all. Finally everyone was free to have an informal lunch together, giving everyone a much needed break. Bilbo swept into the main dining room alongside some Elves and Dwarves. He walked over to Thorin and couldn’t even help the fact that they were surrounded by others.
“How are you my sweet-tasting cantaloupe?” Bilbo said, taking Thorin’s hands.
A few heads nearby turned to look at them, clear confusion on their faces. Thorin’s jaw dropped, his eyes wide, “What?”
Bilbo just smiled. Thorin groaned, a bit mortified, “Why can’t you just call me normal names?” he whispered.
Bilbo frowned, feeling a bit offended, “If more of us valued food and cheer and song, it would be a merrier world.”
Thorin softened then, realizing his error, “Of course, ghivashel. You are right, I’m sorry.”
---
Thorin had been away for far longer than he ever wished. He had needed to visit the Dwarven kingdom in the east to rebuild trade agreements and secure allies as rumors had begun that an evil was building in the south. He finally arrived home late, much later than he would’ve liked. There was little fanfare as it was the middle of the night. Thorin departed from his companions, heading straight to his rooms. There was no way that Bilbo would still be awake. As Thorin opened the door to his rooms, he saw that the fire was still going. The door to their bedroom opened and Bilbo’s face lit up, and he quickly strode towards him.
“You’re finally home! My prize-winning tomato!” Bilbo said as he wrapped himself around Thorin. As strange as it was, Thorin’s heart soared at the endearment, pulling him in tight, never wanting to let go. Somehow, he found himself falling more in love with Bilbo every time it happened.
---
Bilbo was tucked comfortably under the covers, waiting for Thorin to climb into bed. Bilbo had let his eyes droop a bit, sad that they had just been so busy lately as to barely see each other before exhaustion overtook them both. It seemed they would be this busy forever, and he thought about what it would be like to convince Thorin to retire and they could travel and live in the Shire. It was a pleasant thought.
He heard the door to the bathroom open and he opened his eyes. Thorin’s hair was loose and wet on the ends from where it had dipped into the water of his bath. He was only dressed in loose pants and Bilbo couldn’t help but stare. He’d seen his husband naked hundreds if not thousands of times by now, but it always made his breath catch, and the familiar feeling tingle down his spine. Bilbo was hopeless and grinned like a lovesick fool, which Thorin caught on as he climbed into bed, giving his own winning smile.
“Well hello my sexy roast beef,” Bilbo stated, more sultry than he expected.
A slight blush came to Thorin’s cheeks as he looked at Bilbo for a long moment.
“Can I marry you for a second time?” he said, his own voice deep and husky.
Bilbo nodded but the words he meant to say were lost as Thorin pulled him in close, kissing him soundly.
---
Thorin had told Balin he was taking the afternoon off. It had been one of the first nice days after a hard winter and he had hoped to catch Bilbo by surprise and spend a restful and carefree day and evening with his beloved. The possibilities were endless and he knew that this kind of day would be a hobbit dream.
He went first to the kitchens and got a quick dessert that he had pre-planned with Bombur that morning and then went to their rooms. He found Bilbo writing at his desk. Thorin quietly set down the pastries and wrapped his arms around Bilbo from behind.
“Hello my gorgeous steamed cabbage” Thorin said, hoping he had gotten the endearment correct. As far as he could tell after many, many times it was a positive and loving adjective and then a vegetable or fruit of some kind. He wasn’t very well versed in growing anything, but it was the first one that came to mind.
Bilbo stilled in his arms, the pen where it had been moving even as Thorin wrapped his arms around Bilbo had stopped, the ink pooling a bit on the paper.
Then what sounded like a laugh, followed by a cough from the Hobbit in his arms. Bilbo put the pen down and turned slightly in his chair.
Thorin knew immediately by the mirth on Bilbo’s face that it was not correct, “steamed cabbage?” Bilbo said flatly, though amusement played in his eyes.
“Have I offended you, ghivashel?” Thorin pulled his arms away, frowning.
Bilbo started, and then stopped, a few times trying to find the words. “I’m not offended, but it just...your heart was in it…”
“But it doesn’t quite work…” Thorin supplied, disappointed.
Bilbo stood, smiling and took Thorin’s hands, “It was a good effort, but you should stick to Khuzdul, my perfect potato.”

My interpretation on dwarvish axe dancing outfit. This is my first fanart. I doodled now and than for my own entertainment but Sansûkh is the first to push me to do something. When I first read of all the great and varied dwarrowdams and especially the axe dancing, the splendid jewel and vibrant colour of Mughal culture bumped into my mind. The great writings of determamfidd makes me wanna do something for this great writer that first made me fell in love with dwarrows. I confess that before The Hobbit movie and reading Sansûkh I never did put too much thinking on dwarrows but Sansûkh shed new lights to my narrow mind. I have great fun in drawing it and i like to think that I hear how the jewel cling when the dancer dances. Sorry to determamfidd that I cannot draw better. (Greatly referencing from Mughal badass dancer from deviant art Apsara-stock and the great and rich and marvellous jewels)

"Perry-love" 💕
So as busy as things are, I have been taking moments to slowly delve into the “Sansûkh” Appendices, and I recently got to “A New Coat.”
I have a loooooooooOoOoOo000Ot of thoughts on Perry and Gimizh as course-correction and closure for the (in canon) tragedy of Bagginshield, but that is addressed, tone-wise, by the fic itself, so you should really just go read it 💚
Also, if you haven’t read “Sansûkh” yet and are daunted by the scope of it, but want to get a taste of the universe to see what it’s like, I highly recommend jumping in here! Even if that’s unorthodox. This story is just a lovely, self-contained Hobbit/Dwarf rom com on its own, and a great example of the beauty of @determamfidd ’s writing.
(And design for these two once again impacted by @fishfingersandscarves ' illustrations!)
In any and all cases, be surviving and coping as best you can, everyone 🌼
