HOW DID YOU COME WITH THE FISH-COMPASS IDEA ???????

ALSO HAAAAAAAAAAAAA THE SUSPENSE WITH GADDY ??!!!

The fish compass was inspired by the log poses in one piece & how birds know to navigate better than me.

In fact, Here be the first doodle for the idea-

I...i can't choose one of your Oc so for everyone ! 🛌what’s your sleep schedule like? 💆‍♀️How do you relax? 🏘️where’s your happy place? 🆚are you competitive?

Thank you so much for the question! I'm gonna talk about 4 different ocs! Not everyone cuz that's sooo many people and I don't have the braincells for that 😔

🛌 What is your sleep schedule like?

Cassia Baggins: pretty good! I believe you should be early to bed and early to rise, though lots of times I get distracted reading or with my duties as Queen or taking care of my kids, so I don't get to be anywhere near as early as I should. <laughs sheepishly> I should work on that! Losha Vima: bad. I think I have brain damage from the lack of sleep I get. Leriya Ristorna: oh, its great, I’m great at sleeping with people. I usually sleep next to my latest- what? Oh, they didn’t mean sex? Lame. It’s fine, I guess Ricky Ricardo: I’ll sleep when I’m dead (he looks like he hasn’t slept properly for years)

💆‍♀️How do you relax?

Cassia: with a long hot bath, a cup of tea, and a good book! And a back massage from Fili if I can get it! Losha: ah, geez, I dunno, I smoke a joint, usually.  Leriya: sex. Or a relaxing bath and a bottle of the fanciest wine I can get my hands on. Ricky: I like listening to music and cooking my favorite comfort foods.

🏘️where’s your happy place?

Cassia: oh, my garden, for sure. It’s my little haven from the hustle and bustle of every day life, my own little escape Losha: my bedroom. It’s my own space and no one is allowed in it. Leriya: So the Carnevale (that’s the spaceship that the circus she’s a part of operates on) has a room called the Jungle Pool, its where we grow the fresh produce and keep the fish ponds for long journeys, right? Well, I like to sit and the bottom of the biggest pool at night. You can program the roof of the room to display whatever sky you want, too. I usually go for the night sky over my homeplanet. Ricky: the kitchen on the Echo (his own, personal spaceship) is usually my go to if I want to feel better. While I’m there its really easy for me to cook my favorite comfort foods, too

🆚are you competitive?

Cassia: I was more so when I was younger, but less so now that I’m grown. But I’m not gonna go down without a fight! Losha: nah, not really.  Leriya: yes, absolutely. If I want something, I’ll do whatever it takes to get it, and I always want to win <grins> You know, they say all is fair in love and war, so don’t complain if I play dirty Ricky: not particularly, but I am if the situation calls for it <glances at Leriya> I don’t go down easy, though, so watch yourself

Thanks again for asking me! I hope you enjoy reading this!

Hi ! what does Tullaina like to wear ? Does she care about the color of her clothes, or the fabric or she wears what she finds practical? what does she wear most often? Does she have a favorite outfit?

Hi and thank you so much for the ask! I love talking about Tullaina and these type of questions make me think about things I've never considered before.

Tullaina is a modest Dwarrowdam. She's the odd one out, so the last thing she wants is to draw attention with the way she dresses herself.

So she'll keep to the way other Dwarrowdams dress during her days in Ered Luin, but with toned down colors. More earthy tones, no gold or silver or flashy colors. Almost no showing of skin or low neckline or anything.

When she grows older, and starts to get invited to the balls etc she will of course wear the appropriate dress code (and gets a lot of stares from Fíli) but she will never try to be the center of attention. So no fashion statements or excess show of skin.

Around the quest and in Erebor she changes from greens and browns to more reddish and blue colors, but green will still stay her favorite.

If you'd let her choose she would wear pants the entire time, it's a lot more practical if you ask her (plus pockets!) but she can't deny its fun to see Fíli's eyes almost fall out of their sockets when she does whip out the ceremonial and more revealing gowns.

Her day to day outfit is a dress, except during the quest where she wears pants.

But don't let that dress trick you, it's a good way to hide a lot of extra knives 😉

Hello ! Brenior is my favorite of all your ocs ! Will he try to court Lindir one day? If so, how ? Did he have other crush before?

Ooooooooooo yes finally, i get to talk about Brenior/Lindir!!

Okay, When Brenior was first sent to Rivendell by Rantin, he did not feel at all comfortable. All the elves kept their distance (excepting Elrond), and he basically spent all his time alone in the library. But one day Lindir found him playing the harp in the most beautiful way, and their friendship began. 

They both grew quite fond of one another, though the poor babes are too shy/nervous to admit anything. This continues for years. Eventually, there is a battle Brenior goes off to fight in (It’s an important battle that i created, but i won’t give too much away), and Lindir is worried sick. Brenior returns, a bit beaten and bruised, but that doesn’t stop Lindir from throwing his arms around him and holding on as tight as possible. This is an incredibly intimate gesture for an elf, and Brenior knows that. He asks to court Lindir that night, and obviously the elf agreed. 

Brenior didn’t really have any crushes before, (he’s somewhere on the ace spectrum, i think demisexual, but i haven’t figured it out completely), but man, when he and Lindir got to talking, he became the most blushy and hopelessly in love orc in the world.

QUESTION FOR CASSIA !!! Does she have a comfort food she eats when she is sad or sick ? Is she great at telling stories ? With which one the company she gets along the least and why ? What were her first thoughts when she met Thranduil the first time ?

Thank you for the question!

Her favorite comfort food is vegetable stew and fresh bread!

She's a decent storyteller, but she's no Bilbo or Frodo.

She probably gets along least with Dori (thinks he's like a More Annoying Bilbo) or Thorin (he was mean to Bilbo and it takes her a hot minute to get over that).

When she first met Thranduil she thought "wow this guy's like really most annoying person ever! I want to kick his shins!" She's an Elrond stan at heart, as is her right XD

Thanks for the ask!

hi ! Does Tullaina know how to sew?

Hi love!

Sorry it took me so long to answer this one :)

Tullaina does know how to sew, in fact, her craft is sewing clothes! She never really works as a seamstress though. Not even in Erebor, she helps Balin in the library instead.

Her mom was a seamstress and she started to teach her the craft when Tulls was old enough to learn.

But then her parents died, and after a few years Dís suggested she would continue to teach Tullaina how to sew and repair clothes. Only the basics though, don't expect fine embroidery or difficult stitching, but she can repair tears and holes and make a decent tunic.

I can now imagine this scene: Dís teaching her how to sew and she's making Fíli and Kíli serve as mannequins for Tulls :D Tullaina is clumsy enough, but maybe she pricked Kíli a few times on purpose ;)

Thank you for the question!!

Hi ! What Tullaina would think of having wings ?

Hello my darling!

If I know Tullaina as well as I think I do (lol) I would say she loves them but she will hide them for as long as she could.

She's already 'unique' enough, she's already the odd one out, she doesn't need another thing like having wings added to that.

Fili and Kili would absolutely love it though! Can you imagine? Always saved from getting caught with pranks because she can fly them away on time?

During the quest it would come in handy too no doubt. It would change so much!

But I would also think about how she would use her wings to get to places no one else can get to. To create a safe space, or even a hiding space. And that is something her friends and family hate because they can't help her if she keeps hiding in the small crooks at the top of the ceiling whenever she feels sad or angry.

I wonder what her wings would look like though. Like wings wings with feathers or more like a dragon or fairy?

Thank you for your question 💚

Hello ! Does Tullaina have a big laugh ? Like, when she laughs she can be heard for 10 meters away ? Or a silent laugh ? What sounds she make while laughing ? ( is it a weird question ? )

Hello my love and sorry it took me so long to answer this :)

It is not a weird question at all, and I'm happy you asked me because it gave me the chance to think about it.

Tullaina will have a polite smile when around new people or formale events. She will laugh when someone said something funny, but it will be a smile without showing any teeth or making any sounds. If it really was hilarious, she will chuckle at best.

But with her friends and found family, she's going all out. No restrictions there and she will cackle, snort and howl. Oh yes, she definitely snorts while laughing!

It's a telltale sign for the Durin brothers to know if she's comfortable with her company or not. If she's comfortable and at ease, she will laugh with sound, a scrunched nose or a hand to her stomach. But if she's laughing without sound, just a proper smile, and her hands clasped together or something, they know she's not very fond of her conversation partner and they will swoop in to rescue her.

You can imagine how Fíli feels when she's talking to another Dwarf and he can hear her booming laugh. They're still trying to figure out who knocked the bust of Durin III of his stand.

Thank you for the question! <3
