OMG OMG OMG WAIT THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!! I LOVE TILI ALREADY!!

first of all- such a cute name! now i’m suddenly picturing dis/thorin doing that parent thing when they call for their kids (“kili! no fíli! no sorry i mean tili!)

the way you described her looks was so beautiful and detailed!! (also a muscular bod???!okay so what you’re saying is i’m going to fall in love with her)

GOLDEN RETRIEVER PERSONIFIED AAA THATS SO CUTE!! (also i can definitely see how that would make her brothers and uncle more protective of her because of how sweet she is)

also btw what would 70 be in human years? just asking because i know different tolkien fans use different conversions :)

reading that she has bad eyesight from far away reminds me of this one post i saw that headcanoned thorin as near sighted and i was just like “oh she got it from him” lol!!

her skills are very interesting! the master lock picking intrigues me especially. i wonder how that came about? maybe nori was involved..? and when she has had to use it? how her family feels about it? hmm i’m very interested in all of that :D

ALSO THOSE SKETCHES ARE SO GOOD!! the detail is insane! the braids!! (which are super hard to draw for me but you nailed it!) the beads!! the lonely mountain outline! the cute lopsided smile! the different angles! THE FIGHTING STANCE!!! LORD HAVE MERCY!!! such a dynamic and fluid pose- and it’s so cool to see her weapons! i know almost nothing about what Chakrams are or how they work so im very interested to learn more about how she uses them, how she chose them, etc!

ALSJSK OH MY GOODNESS ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT AND REBLOGS ARE MAKING ME SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! I LITERALLY LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH!!

Y E S Especially during the quest when they are under attack and it’s high stress Thorin just going “SHOOT THEM TILI- I MEAN FILI- I MEAN- UGH! DIS WHY DID YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THEIR NAMES RYHME!?!”

Same Tili is a muscle babe and I can totally see her and her brothers challenging each other to push up contests all the time

ALL OF THE DURINS ARE LITTLE GOLDEN RETRIEVER PERSONIFIED (except Thorin because he wants to keep the kingly aesthetic™️)

I feel like 70 y/o = about 20 y/o just because Fili and Kili are described as being very young (Fili being 82 and Kili being 77) so I feel like 70 in dwarf years is around 20 years old but this is just what I think people can interpret it any way they want :)

So ages are

Tili- 70 in dwarven // 20 in human

Kili- 77 in dwarven // 27 in human

Fili- 82 in dwarven // 32 in human

THE EYESIGHT THING IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR!!!! AKDJDK

She definitely had to learn lockpick because of her brothers pranks haha I just see one time Fili and Kili lock her in a room and are like “haha you can’t get us” then as they turn away they hear a *click click* and a door slowly open to reveal a very made Tili. You’d think a pack of orc were chasing them by how fast they ran after that

But Nori definitely had a “proud dad” moment when she picked her cell open in Mirkwood but got caught and had to be put in a more secure cell after :/

YES IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED ABOUT THE CHAKRAMS!! I literally LOVE that weapon so much it so pretty and I never see anyone talk about it! It’s a ancient Indian throwing weapon and in Japan they have some similar that are called kanawas. If I could learn to use any weapon it would be the chakrams!!!

But for Tilis purpose I feel when she was first finding out which weapons she worked best with, she struggled. She couldn’t shoot a bow good like Kili (mainly because of her eye sight), she did pretty good at swordsmanship and axes but it just wasn’t it. And then one day she found a pair of chakrams laying about the weapon artillery and just had an instant connection.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR KIND WORDS ERIN THEY REALLY MADE MY DAY!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL!!

Mischiefs to Soldiers

Not my photo

Summary: Fili, Kili, and Tili have been by eachothers sides through all their childhood schemes and now they stand together on the battlefield

A/N: just a quick little story for my new OC. It started off very fluffy but then I got whiplash from how fast it turned to angst. But I hope y’all enjoy! <3

Warnings: angst, war, sadness

Tili’s POV:

-Flashback to when kids-

“Oh you little troublemakers! Don’t let me catch you three stealing from me again!” The baker’s wife yelled, as my brothers and I ran down the path and towards home. Our boots pounding the damp dirt and our breaths short. “That was too close Fili.” I breath out as we slow down next to a tree, far enough away from the bakers shop to not get caught. “Nah we were fine. That old baker and his wife are too old to catch us and beside it was worth it to get this.” Fili grinned as he held up the three pastries wrapped up in parchment. Chocolate croissants, our favorite. “Yeah yeah just give us the food” Kili whined as he was still trying to catch his breath and reached out for the treats. “Not until we get home Kil! You’ll scarf it down and barely enjoy it if we eat it now.” Fili fought as he put his arm out to stop Kili and raised to food higher up. “I’ll scarf it down when we get home just as much as I would right now!” Kili fought back. I groan at the boys antics and jumped up and snatched the croissants from Fili’s hands. “Why don’t we compromise. We’ll split each of the pastries in half and eat some of it now and then the rest we we get back home. Deal?” Fili and Kili looked at eachother and shrugged. “Deal!” They say together. We all sit down on the dirt and I bring the croissants out of their wrapping and spit each in half. “One for you, one for you, and one for me.” I smile and happily munch on the treat with my brothers. “When did you get to be so smart, Tils?” Kili asked with a mouth full of food. I scoff and say,

“Well it’s a good thing one of us got a brain.”

-end flashback-

I tighten the strap on my chest plate and lock it in place, then turn my attention to my boots and tighten them up. Sighing I tuck a strand of my red hair that managed to fall out of its braids, and I start to work on the next boot.

Once finished I stand up and turn to my oldest brother who is ready there with a battle helmet in his hands.

I step toward him and look up to his soft, blue eyes. Sadness swimming around but you can tell he’s trying his hardest to hide it.

He looks down at me and gives a small smile then lift up the helmet to my head and slowly fits it on.

Once it’s on, his shaky palms linger at the side of my head for a moment as he stares in my eyes. “Namadith” he whispers gently with a voice on the brink of brokenness. I bring my hands up and rest them on his and lean my head forward so our foreheads touch. “Do not weep yet, for those you have not lost,” I smile and close my eyes.

“We must be brave” I say as I lean back and look back into his eyes. He nods and continues to help me with my helmet, tightening the straps.

After he’s finished, Kili walks in carrying some chainmail. He’s looking to the ground as he enters and only when he slowly looks up we see the worry on his face.

I reach my hand out for him to take, and he slowly walks over to take it. I reach my other hand out for Fili, who also takes it.

“This is a battle we must fight for our home. For our family.” I speak with hope, but in truth I’m scared. I’m scared of death, I’m scared of the war tomorrow that Thorin has proclaimed. But mostly I’m scared of loosing my brothers, I promised mother I’d bring them back to her and I plan to do just that. She will get all of her children back when this is done.

“We will stay together, don’t leave eachothers side. We will see the morning after morrow, do not worry” I try to encourage. Both of them slowly look up at me and we all three look between each other. Taking in what we each look like. The color of our eyes, the shape of our noses, the turn of our lips, anything. Anything to keep in our memory, incase this is the last time we see eachothers faces with life in them.

Then Kili smiles softly, “when did you get to be so wise namad?” Which makes Fili and I smile as well and I soft say,

“Well it’s a good thing one of us got a brain.”
