*All Neo-Khuzdul you see from me would not be possible without The Dwarrow Scholar's expansive body of work! My translations and creations are based off of his work and are kept compliant or at least compatible with his existing publications to the best of my ability. I do not claim perfect accuracy, much less any form of endorsement from TDS, I'm just playing along in the same conlang space.

Bilbo finally being able to have a huge wardrobe after the mountain rebuilds like he did in Bag End. Bilbo having the time of his life with Dori as they go through all the different fabrics and cuts. Bilbo wearing a mixture of hobbit and dwarven fashion, setting new trends for everyone else in the mountain. Bilbo putting on different outfits for Thorin. Thorin enjoying taking those outfits off afterwards.

I’ve deliberated for some time now and I’ve officially come to the conclusion that dwarves would fucking LOVE rugby

I know in my heart, in my very soul, that athelas is related to mint. I just KNOW that kingsfoil is in the lamiaceae family.

There are hobbits who recoil in genteel horror when some innocent little baby hobbit gardener proudly says they planted kingsfoil in the herb garden because it smells nice.

The houses of healing at Minas Tirith do not challenge the king about having it in their medicinal gardens, but they do side eye him very hard.

Someone decides to plant it in Mordor

ooOOOHHH I HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT THIS

First: YES athelas is absolutely mint family, not just because of the good smell text clues but because Tolkien probably based it on field woundwort (Stachys arvensis) which 1) as you might guess from the name was used for treating wounds, 2) commonly grows specifically along Roman roads in the same way and for the same reason that athelas grows along Númenorean roads, and 3) is also in the mint family (but does not smell good; one can imagine Tolkien learning this lore and going okay but what if it was Better)

Second: absolutely fucking set that weed loose on the Gorgoroth plateau. Mints are fantastic for aerating dense but nutrient-rich soil (like, yk, volcanic areas) so that other plants can get their lil roots in there and actually make use of those nutrients, so they're a solid front line soldier if your goal is aggressive restoration of a dead area. They're also really good at removing toxins like pesticides and heavy metals from the soil so I would like to formally recommend to Elessar Telcontar that he plant heavily in the Morgul Vale as well to combat whatever the fuck is happening in the curséd soil and water there. 🌿🫡

“A burglar indeed.”

@lesbiankiliel prompted ‘Bilbo pranking Thorin by nicking his crown, Thorin be like “and you said you weren’t a burglar”;

Thanks for the prompt! <3

Part of a sketch I did yesterday! had to crop it due to…obvious reasons.

Gimli: "It's true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men. And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women, and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!"

I premiered my lady dwarf OC Dirka today at my local renaissance festival and I felt so beautiful even with a beard. This has been a dream costume of mine for a long time and I'm so pleased with how it came out!
