#It is shaped like my brother's German short-hair pointers

[shrikeseams]

Unpopular Huan opinion: I don't think he should look like an identifiable dog breed. He should be massive, vaguely hound-ish, and fundamentally mutty. He should look like Yavanna and Orome took every single breed of hunting and retrieving and livestock guardian and gun dog, broke them down in to fundamental bits like skull shape and leg length and fur texture, shook all those bits up in a paper bag, and played mix-and-match with whichever parts they pulled out of the bag first.

#Tolkien #The only part of Huan that I have a firm visual for #Is his head and snout shape #It is shaped like my brother's German short-hair pointers #Because that's cemented in my brain as Sweet Hunting Dog #But on some level I feel like everyone's Huan should be a unique mix of the best dogs you've ever met #San shoots the breeze
