Durin - Tumblr Posts
AAAHH I love lion Fili. The more jungle cat I can make him the happier I am.
Argh!
Oh I just can't wait to be king
Annatar (Sauron): Elrond spoke fondly of you. He said you are the most fair and reasonable dwarf he knows.
Durin (Fourth of that name): If I pointed an orcsh*t meter at you, I wouldn't be able to hear a word you've said over the noise it'd be making.
Dwarves: This is my forefather, Durin, and my other forefather, Durin.
Me: I hate Bezos and I hate ROP.
My mother: But Durin, Disa and Elrond-
Me: DON'T BRING THEM INTO THIS
Friendly reminder to the RoP fans who don't know the original lore:
Valandil is Isildur's son (But let's be honest, he was more raised by Elrond)
Galadriel is older than the sun
Elven men canonically have long hair
Elrond was found by Maedhros and Maglor and also is not, in fact, an orphan, his mom is a bird and his dad is a star and they may or may not be divorced
Isildur, Ar-Pharazon, Miriel, Valandil, and almost all of the rest of Gondor and Numenor's royals are Elrond's nieces and nephews.
Galadriel has a husband and a daughter
A daughter who IS MARRIED TO ELROND
Gondolin
In Valinor, one year is a century long. 20 years to an elf is only about three months to a human.
A Durin would not be the son of another Durin
None of these events happen anywhere near one another in the timeline
Galadriel sees right through Sauron instantly, she does not fall in love with him
Nor does she fall in love with Elrond, as he is her son-in-law and also her therapist
And finally, a reminder to the Tolkein purists:
PEOPLE CAN BE BLACK.
Elves can, and in fact, probably were, people of color. Only the Noldor were probably ever genuinely white. The Sindar, the Vanyar, the Falmari, all of them were probably various POC.
In the final version of the canon, dwarf women having beards was uncertain, and even if it was 100% sure that the group of dwarves we know had women with beards, Disa is clearly a different ethnicity, and possibly a different culture, so it is entirely possible that she would not have a beard.
Arondir was a prisoner, and elven prisoners likely had their hair cut to insult or disgrace them, so it is entirely possible that he would have short hair at the time he is shown.
Elrond, Disa and Durin are cute. It does not matter that they aren't canon. People can like these characters. I liked several of them myself, though I found some quite flat and one-dimensional.
As long as you aren't hurting anybody, discriminating against anybody, or erasing someone else's hard work (ahem, Tolkein's elvish language and customs) you can do whatever you want. Hell, I kinda want to ship Disa and Celebrian. I'm not hurting anyone, so I can do just that! (Amazon, however, is hurting people. Know that before you go into this.)
the art of kemiah
shadow amidst snowstorm's story quest lives rent free in my head. I can't wait until they put Rhinedottir in the game eee
rhinedottir ft. her four blasphemous children
tysm for the rifthounds rhinedottir i'm sure we all really appreciate that one
i can't get over this man... the way durin hides behind his mother...
a child in a body that's too big and scary...
So like what if mini durin didn’t looks quite so much like a marketable plushy
The conflict between mini durin being a tiny cute marketable plush (kinda awful that they didn’t let us have him as a seelie gadget) that looks young, innocent and sweet
Vs
Durin that Rhinedottir made, who covers an entire mountain and needed a dragon plus archon to subdue, looking like a dragon/riftwolves combo (Rhinedottir did make him and the wolves)
So I just finished the rings of power season 2 finale it was epic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
WANDERER SHOWED DURIN THE MERCY AND UNDERSTANDING HE HIMSELF DIDN'T GET AT HIS LOWEST POINT AND ACTIVELY TRIED TO HELP HIM WHEN HE FELL DOWN FROM THE LEDGE. WHAT IF I DIED.
You don't understand. It's literally my favorite character WITH MY SPECIAL INTEREST IM SO AUTISM ABOUT THE LOOK AT THEMMMM
He always does this
thinking a lot about the parallel in this ep between durin, who loves his father desperately and refuses to do anything to cause him harm or disgrace despite his father’s madness, and earien, who loves her father and tries to save him from physical harm not understanding that he would rather die than betray his faith and honor.
