smth to note abt Thorin and Dwalin

i feel like not enough ppl know the familial relations within the dwarves. I mean yea obv everyone knows abt whos brother is whos and what not, but i have seen to many ship fics or art of Thorin and Dwalin, who are cousins 🫩

thorin, fili, and kili are related to Oín, Gloín, and Gimli, along with Balin and Dwalin. its the same weird feeling i get when i see Pippin and Merry ship art🫩😮‍💨

The Company wishing you happy birthday and the gifts they'd give you:

(Happy birthday again Meg! @reaperswritings )

Thorin gave you a handcrafted necklace of sapphires he made himself (he's very proud, not that he'll show it...)

Fíli (bless his heart) decided to give you a mithril knife he smithed under guidance of Thorin. Its handle was inlaid with 3 pearls, one for each of the lights in his life: the sun, the moon, and you.

Kíli got you a puppy that looked like an alcoholic in need of a shave! (She was a feisty little one, but the love in her heart when she cuddled with you in front of the fire made up for the torn towels and wet hair she had so graciously caused you in your chase through the royal wing after an attempted bath...) Kíli tried ("tried" being the operative word), to bake you a cake, but, well, Kíli in a kitchen went about as well as a bull in a china store...

Balin (sweet, sweet saint) gifted you a cut and polished geode with quartz lining it. It was one of the few things he still had left of the old Erebor, and wanted you to have it, seeing as you held as an special place in his heart as that geode.

Dwalin had smithed alongside Thorin in the past, and thought of making a axe for you with the name "Courage" engraved on the handle, but seeing that you will have nothing to fear with the Company protecting you (bunch of nannies, they are), he instead opted to build you your very own garden inside the mountain for when the winter months came. He planted all of your favourite flowers, and boy oh boy, did he nearly give up a few time on working on that garden... But in the end, he pulled through and he must say that all the frustration was worth the joy in your eyes and the hug he got from you afterwards he showed it to you. (He might have developed a liking to gardening, so it wasn't uncommon to find him working alongside you on hands and knees in your garden covered in dirt)

Oín decided that you were entirely too quiet for his tastes and that it was only by luck alone that you haven't given some of the dwarves a heart attack, (he has suffered more than his share, according to him), so he bought you cute little golden bell to wear around your neck so people mostly he could hear you coming (he didn't. And he shrieked like a girl when you both had ventured down into the kitchens for a midnight snack)

Gloín had a secret talent of painting, and no one, no one outside the family knows of it... Guess what he gave to you? :) A magnificent painting of the view from the top of the Lonely Mountain over Daleb Laketown and even a tiny, teensy weensy, might-miss-it, smidge which could possibly be Mirkwood? He won't admit anything.... (I'm onto you, Mister Gloín)

Dori bought you a delicate porcelain tea set from the Blue Mountains, in which he claims tea tastes the best... Uh huh, we'll see honey, we'll see...

Nori, Nori, Nori, Nori..... He thought it would be very funny to give you a chicken. In the marketplace. Among a hundreds of dwarves. And he thought it would be funny watching you scream your head off at the creature suddenly deposited into your arms. Jokes on him though, he had to chase and catch the feathery fiend in the market! (You named the hen "Dori" after he had caught her and you had calmed down enough to see straight...)

Ori (my sweet, sweet summer child), had filled an entire sketchbook with drawings of you and the company (but mostly you.) (He was so shy when he had presented you with the carefully wrapped gift. My he ar t)

Bifur had an immense soft spot for cute things, and the image of you animatedly performing enacting and reading a fairytale to some dwarflings made up his mind. He was going to make you a stage to entertain those dear dwarflings you so loved. He worked, he sewed, he carved, he- well, you get the idea. It was magnificent! And he hit two birds with one stone! You got to live out your passion for making others smile, and he got to see you perform frequently!

Bofur thought that seeing as you frequently stole his hat and made him chase you all over the Company's wing, that maybe, just maybe he could finally take off his hat without fear for your escapades (I'm only trying to keep you fit! Yeah right, and his mother was an elf.), if he got you your own hat. And it worked! For about three days, before you returned to your nefarious hat-stealing, dwarf-parkour activities...

Bombur (he looks very huggable) had a specially embroidered apron made for you. (Bofur had suggested "World's Best Buns," but from the look on his brother's face he collapsed in a giggling fit.) No no, Bombur was a gentleman, thank you very much. So what did he have embroidered??? Keep your hands off my buns😀

Bilbo gave you a bouquet of tulips (how did he even get them???), and a handwritten book titled "450 Reasons Why I Love You." (My HeARt!) (And it's alphabetical too!)

Gandalf.... Gandalf decided to gift you with a puzzle box ("A gift that keeps on giving.") And boy oh boy did he look smug after the 4th hour you still hadn't found out how to open it.... Ahah, just you wait, Mister Firepopper, revenge might be beneath me, but accidents will happen....

Gloín had many reasons to join into the quest to reclaim Erebor, Oín, Thorin, but most importantly Gimli. 

His wee lad was Gloín’s best accomplishment in life, that's why when he saw that the hobbit that was supposed to be their burglar was all alone and seemed to not have any family by his side, Gloín decided he would show him that he could have a place in their company.

To him, Bilbo is prosperity, because he has seen Bilbo's heart and only wonderful things can come from there.

To him, Bilbo is exchanging family traditions, sharing childhood stories and listening to a delighted laugh that carries the very essence of life on it. 

He really can't wait for his son and Bilbo to meet, he will make sure that their hobbit feels more welcome than ever.

Modern Gloín

Is a banker

Very successfull

And a family man

He loves his wife and their only son to ffing bits!

He is so in love with his wife, even after like 25 years of marriage, after having been with her since like middle school

He is literally still so in love with her

And he is very proud of his son Gimli

The lad is the apple of Gloín eye

Except of course for the fact that Gimli fancies Legolas

Gloín really does his best to discourage that

But of course it does not work

Legolas and Gloín will never warm up to each other

But at least they do try to be polite to each other in the end

For Gimli’s sake
