#durins day

[retellingthehobbit]

By some calculations today is "Durin's Day" of 2023-- the last New Moon of Autumn! I hope to publish chapter 17 of my webcomic adaptation of The Hobbit in one month, on January 13th.

Last light of Durin's Day

"When hope was lowest, a red ray of the sun fell on the smooth rock face..."

Finally did Durin's Day on a character 😊 I was too distracted with my first harvest festival to do it last year, but now I have 2 characters who have. Doing it at midnight was neat, as now I have the moon in the photo too

My Incorrect Universe #96

*before courting Thranduil*

Me: *trips on the ground*

Thranduil, scoffing and in a mocking tone : haha, how clumsy, could you be any more foolish?

*later when no one is around*

Thranduil : *stomping the ground* who do you think you are?? WHO IN EVER LOVING VALAR DO YOU-

--Few years later--

Thorin: I can’t believe you talked to Thranduil without getting so much as a glare! Most people can’t even look in his general direction without some kind of threat.

Me: I mean, it would be a little weird if he did. We are engaged after all......

Thorin, who thought he had a chance: “....YOU’RE WHAT?!”

Legolas,a rogue Gimli tucked under his arm pit: YOU'RE WHAT ?!

Haldir and Lindir, from behind the trees: YOU ARE WHAT ??!

Elrond: YOU'RE WHAT ?!

Me: why are YOU shocked?? You watched him propose to me??

Elrond, recalling himself screaming as he witnessed Thranduil get on one knee that day: I'm still recovering from the trauma-

*Legolas still trying to process what I just announced*:

ON THIS DAY

April 27th - Thorin and the Company arrive in Bag End

For over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day, To find our long-forgotten gold.

“That map is sitting there in ‘Fellowship of the Ring’, which we had no idea that we needed it there. But then 12-13 years later it provided us a perfect opportunity for a final shot. We couldn’t pick up a better spot for it”.

“Actually, I wrote it in there. Yes, I did! I do remember writing in the map, and you liked the idea”.

“You must’ve known then. Have you got a crystal ball or secret powers?”

- Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens (‘Battle of the Five Armies’ Audio commentary)

Grór, hunter of cold-drakes and lord of the iron hills ( in their late 70s and then at 150+ years old). Here's a very late Dwarrowtober piece for Day 12: Hunting, since I caught the virus after a busy week : ' D (Still feeling it but I feel better now). I was feeling too ill for drawing or social media so that is why I randomly disappeared.

@khazadweek day 1 | first age + longbeards → durin the deathless

with golden roof and silver floor,

and runes of power upon the door.

the light of sun and star and moon

in shining lamps of crystal hewn

undimmed by cloud or shade of night

there shone for ever fair and bright.

Currently rewatching The Hobbit and I just feel so bad for Dis she lost her brother and her two sons on the same day, two of them from the same orc even

just pause for a moment, and appreciate kili's smile and puppy dog eyes.

The light of sun and star and moon In shining lamps of crystal hewn Undimmed by cloud or shade of night There shone forever, fair and bright

I know we're probably never getting the restoration of moria in-game, it would just be too similar to the iron garrison story. but the glimpses we get of khazad-dum in its full glory are SO -
