GHILUZ  KHUZDINHAZ;                   { day belonging to the dwarrowdam }

As they are hardly mentioned in canon, it is all the more enjoyable to have them on tumblr.

Our dear female dwarves - whether they are OCs, canon/semi-canon, or genderbent characters - may be few in numbers but they’re fighters; all of them but we appreciate them all the more for it.  

What is this about?

The aim is to provide one day (22 September) on which everyone who so wishes can express their love for dwarrowdams in both canon material and the Tolkien RP community on tumblr. Dwarrowdam Day is created as an out-of-character event which can/should be celebrated in-character.

What can we expect?

There will be promos and memes going around; dwarrowdams are furthermore encouraged to post starters specifically trimmed for this day (e.g. festivities to celebrate Dwarrowdam Day in a Dwarven community). Follow Friday posts: Dwarrowdam Day edition are also encouraged, as are graphics.

How can we contribute?

By posting any of the above mentioned, and by any action that you see fit to convey your appreciation of female dwarves.

Also make sure to be tracking the tag ‘ghiluz khuzdinhaz' (special thanks to khuzdul4u who helped with the translation!) and make sure to use it when you post something DD-Day related; this way, we can all keep track of all the activities going on, and participate in them. 

If you have questions, comments, advice, feedback etc. please drop us (bindikh & ursinh) a line! Everyone’s participation is welcomed & encouraged.

Title: This Feeling That Remains Pairing: Dis/Canonical Wife Summary: Bala moved to the Blue Mountains when she was a hundred, and very quickly fell beard-over-boots in love with the princess of Erebor—and was thoroughly shocked when the feeling appeared to be mutual.

FINALLY IT’S HERE.

I made a fanmix for dwarf women, because there just needs to be MORE DWARF WOMEN EVERYTHING.

Listen

I’m fascinated with the idea of dwarvish language and culture being inspired by aspects of jewish culture and history (as Tolkien once mentioned in a letter), so there are some sephardic (Spanish Jews, who were exiled or had to convert, after the defeat of the moorish kingdoms) and other Jewish songs to be found.

So one day a dwarf is talking to a human and finally realizes that when humans say woman, they generally mean “person who is theoretically capable of childbirth” because for whatever reason, humans assign social expectations based genital differences. (What a fucked up...

ladies under the mountain »» the secret warriors of azanulbizar

the king asked only for those who were grown, fit to fight and trained. but they could not stay behind and watch their kin and friends die. they were too young, many even without full beards. they were weak, untrained for battle, unprepared for the horror of war. but still, when the warriors marched upon their ancient homeland, they were among them, hidden beneath stolen helms, making secret pacts to remain steadfast, even when their shields shattered and their axes were torn from their hands.

sigyn, who meant once to bring beautiful things of glass and white gold, disguised herself in her father’s armor as he slept under a poppy-milk fog, and stole his swords to save his life. he would not last through another battle and she could not bury the only family she had left.

hlothyn painted her face to mimic the beard she would never grow, prayed that her mother’s god remembered her, and defended her sister with her last breath.

freyja and brynja swore to each other that when it was all over, no one would ever look at them as if they were a disgrace again. in mahal’s halls, their father would be proud, and their mother would raise her head again. they would never be the daughters of a coward again. they would be heroes, and the stain of their father’s dishonor would be wiped away.

princess dís took the injustice of being left behind quietly, with all the dignity her mother had ever prayed she would command, and then she gathered up her cousin dain and her dearest friend, and fell in line where her father and grandfather could not see her.

if their people were to fail, they would be beside them.

The great historical texts say only this concerning the princess Brimir:

Born S.A. 1478, daughter of Draupnir, and daughter of Farín, King of Khazad-dûm. After suffering a troubled childhood, a difficult adolescence, the princess vanished shortly after her seventy fifth year. Though both her father and brother scoured the mountains for her, nothing more is known of her fate.

But, of course, there are those who know more.
