gimli and legolas (and thorin) in sansûkh — enemies, allies (sansûkh week: day 3)

where i belong, plàsi || chapter 10 || noah, amber run || chapter 15 || revelation, troye sivan and jónsi || chapter 21 || unsaid, flor || chapter 28 || heirloom, sleeping at last || chapter 30

translations in image captions

a spiritual part three to my sansûkh playlist parallels posts.

very excited about finally making one of these again, especially considering that one of my favorite dynamics in sansûkh is gimli and legolas unlearning everything they’ve been taught re: elves and dwarves, and thorin simultaneously learning to overcome not only what he’s learned, but what he’s experienced re: elves as well.

hoping to make a companion post to this post on a specific other day of sansûkh week - i already have the lyrics, and just have to find the quotes in,, 500k+ words. it’ll be fine! i will definitely finish it on time!

anyway happy one year to the completion of The Greatest Fic of all time!!! 🎉

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.
