CLOSED

OMG I can’t believe I'm really celebrating the 450 followers!!!

Thank you so much for supporting me!!!

I am so happy to celebrate my first sleepover with you! 

But just talk, let's get straight to the point!!! 

The sleepover starts on Friday March 12, 2021 and ends on Sunday March 14, 2021 (included).

(Rules at the bottom, read well)!

🍄 - GET TO KNOW ESTETHELL: Do you want to know something about me? Send me a mushroom with your question! You can ask about me, about Italy, about my beloved animals, or even about Jerard, why not?

🌱 - TELL ME ABOUT YOU: I value the artist-followers relationship a lot, so I'd like to get to know you better. Send me a sprout by telling me about you or a curiosity, or a thought of yours, or even simply by talking about your day or vent. I want to know you all!

🍁 - SUGGEST ME A THOUGHT: By now you know that I love to write thoughts and reflections on The Hobbit and Lotr... my queue is always full of these thoughts! But I'd like to know your thoughts too. Send me a maple leaf with your thoughts on The Hobbit / LOTR and I will add it to my queue and it’ll be published together with the others (tagging the author of course). Anon thoughts will be published as anon author.

🌵 - 3 WORDS FOR A CHARACTER: Let's draw!! Send me a cactus with three random words and I'll use either or all of them to draw a The Hobbit character that I associate with those words.

Example: sun, knife, smile.... I will draw Fili smiling and playing with a knife :D

🌸 - SWEET SWEET LOVE: Let's face it, anyone would like to see their favorite character look us in the eye while he tells us sweet things. Send me a cherry blossom with a The Hobbit character and I'll draw for you the one who says a sweet phrase just for you.

🍀 - FINAL DRAW: 

In these nine envelopes divided into three categories I wrote respectively:

-Category number: two ship and three characters for each envelope

-Category letter: Au setting

-Category symbol: a detail that absolutely must be there

How does it work?

Send me a quatrefoil telling me a number, a letter and a symbol to choose an envelope for each category. The winners will be opened and depending on what comes out I will draw a color illustration based on the three envelopes!

I shuffled the envelopes for each category before writing over the number, letter and symbol, so I won't know what will come out and I won't be able to cheat.

Envelope contents list (not in order):

-Category number:

Ships: Bagginshield - Dwori - Gigolas - Nofur - Nwalin - Boffins

Characters: Fili - Dwalin - Thorin - Bofur - Dori - Nori - Kili - Ori - Bifur

-Category letter:

Modern - Middle Earth - Workers

-Category symbol:

A flower - A ponytail - a Weapon

I’ll bring the count on a specially prepared sheet that I’ll show from time to time :)

Good Luck!!

Rules and explanations:

- Questions that are offensive or too intimate will not be answered;-You can only ask for two emojis per question, but not two drawings together. I will always choose only one drawing and one character to draw in each ask;-The drawings will be in pencil, pen or digital but not colored except the drawing for the draw;-The vote for the final draw can always be requested and does not count as either request;- Even if you don't get an answer right away and the sleepover time runs out, I will answer all questions during the week (due to time limit);

🍄 I think one of the things i like about you is how ease going you seem to be. I love your ideas for the quotes and I'd really like to know more about you, how you started to be interested in this particular fandom and when you realized that nofur was your preferred shipp :)

PS: congrats for all the followers, you deserved it.

Dear @yacrimago

Thanks for asking me this :)  Well my passion for dwarves as a race and culture was born long before I knew Tolkien's world. Actually, it's embarrassing to say, but it's the plain truth: I got interested in dwarves because at the time I was dating a very short guy who was passionate about D&D and dwarves. So I started reading Markus Heitz's books and becoming interested in dwarves.

Then I met Jerard who introduced me to Tolkien's world, first LOTR and then The Hobbit.  But at the time I was more interested in other fandoms and I didn't get much into it. Until early 2020, when we watched The Hobbit again and I fell in love with just about everything!!

As for the ideas and thoughts, those arise from my constantly racing mind. It's like a steam train that with every turn of the wheel he screams "What if" or "It could be" or "and if it were"... things like that. It is impossible to stop it! I often think of nonsense, but the important thing is that these thoughts amuse me first!

An immediate thought: I think Thorin is on a diet, when he arrives in Bag End he is content to eat only one plate of soup despite the fact that he has faced a very long journey (it could have been shorter if he had not got lost). Well, even if innate, the majestic must be cultivated!

Thanks again and don’t forget to vote for FINAL DRAW 🍀
