Balin upon entering Mirkwood: Okay. Rule number 1, do not go off on your own. Rule number 2, if you do go off on your own, do not stray from and path to go into the woods. Rule number 3, if you do stray from the path and go into the woods, never, ever, EVER make out in the woods, or you will DIE in the woods…

Durinin laulu
by Mikitius
“Thorin!”
Hän hätkähti kuullessaan Dwalinin huudon takaansa. Soturi tunki tiensä läpi haavottuneiden ja taisteluun ryntäävien kääpiöiden päästäkseen lähemmäs häntä. Thorin vilkaisi isäänsä ohimennen. Thráin katseli taistelua ilmeessään omituinen tyhjyys. Dwalinin äänensävy oli kuitenkin niin hätäinen, että Thorin päätti jättää isänsä huomiotta. Hän kiirehti ystäväänsä vastaan. Dwalin tarttui häntä olkavarsista.
“Thorin”, tuo huohotti kasvoillaan melkein kauhistunut ilme. Jokin Dwalinin katseen lohduttomuudessa pysäytti Thorinin sydämen.
“Missä hän on?”
“Tule.”

Wooden Carvings
by SuperNova_Studios
Bofur is a nonsense dwarf. One only has to look at his ridiculous fashion sense and cheerful grin to see that he's hardly the type of person to take things seriously. But no, he's not really looking for a relationship. Why would he? They're busy trying to slay a dragon, he doesn't have time to mess around with romance!
Until a very handsome dwarf walks by, and he's instantly smitten.
And also very stupid.
He's well aware.
(Or, that one where Bofur and Nori are both idiots [again], Bofur makes some friends in odd places, and Bifur might start cracking heads together if his cousin and Nori don't sit down and talk to each other)

Ok so. This is less concrete thoughts and more scattered ideas but.
Dathomirian Zabrak biology speculations/thoughts!
While at first glance it looks like males are the only ones who have different skin colors and the females are all pale, we do see at least one Nightsister with darker skin (the one whose facial markings are white and resemble a skull), meaning skin pigmentation is present in both but manifests differently in males vs females!
(This is much like birds where the females are the neutral-colored ones while the males have more vibrant colorations and are expected to impress the females to be picked as a mate)
And it's very curious to me that iridonians have very human-like skin tones, while dathomirians ended up having two extremes, either having very vibrant skin ranging from yellow to red, or very pale skin ranging from white to dark gray, both outside the human (and iridonian) range
I think if a transgender dathomirian had HRT their skin color would gradually change with it (much like how birds can change coloration depending on their hormones)
The fact that males have no hair and females have no horns seems very random to me and I will not be thinking about the hair thing but I will say:
Have you looked at Mother Talzin's head shape. Have you seen how strangely tall it looks. What if. What if females "lack" horns because instead of growing at just a few specific points their entire skulls grow and elongate over their lifetimes.
This makes sense if you consider that they live in a "dense jungle" type environment where things (fruits, branches, predators..) can fall on their heads all the time. Having a thicker skull would probably help avoid a cracked skull from constantly getting hit in the head by falling stuff
(No idea what about the hair thing though. Maybe it's something to do with gene interactions. Like whatever gene makes their skin so saturated also deactivates the "have hair" genes. or maybe nightsisters are all wearing wigs and none of them actually grow hair)
Speaking of the geography of the planet, I think it's pretty sad that we never really get a good look of what the Nightbrothers' region looks like outside the village and some mountain terrain around it. Is it more sunny than the Nightsisters' side and that's why their skin adapted to have more color while the females' adapted to lose color? Or is it a seasonal thing and we just never got to see another season in the shows? Or is the village just built in a place that's so high the mist doesn't reach it? We get the sense that it's cold, at least at night, so why are they dressed in such light clothes? In fact, is it hot where the Nightsisters live, or is the entire species more adapted to colder temperatures and that's why they all wear so little?
What would happen if you crossed a dathomirian zabrak with a species that also has non-human skin tones but not linked to sexual dimorphism. Like what if you had a pantoran-zabrak cross, since pantorans are on the opposite side of the color wheel. Do you think they'd be an extremely vibrant blue or yellow-orange-red, or a middle ground, like green? Or perhaps an extreme outside both species' range, like purple? Do you think the "no saturation" gene would take over and make them gray no matter the gender?
