Hello my dear! Could you please write some headcanons for both Lotr and Harry Potter, about how Cedric, Harry, Fred & George and Aragorn would react to dating a seamstress, or someone who sews and makes their own clothing and embroidery.

Particularly for the Harry Potter character, the reader is a Wizard/Witch, but she still does "muggle" sewing because she finds it fun and makes them all sorts of clothing and such. I imagine they'd be kinda surprised to see a Witch doing muggle hobbies, but she can make them clothing or something and they might warm up to it. Thank you so so much!! I hope you're doing well hun

Hi darling! I know nothing about seeing and embroidery (other than it looks super cool!) so I kinda left the specifics vague. I hope you enjoy love!

Edit: I’ve deleted Aragorn due to the Tolkien Estate not wanting fan fiction of the works.

Cedric

- he's mesmerized by your skills

- he knows how to make his own stuff through magic but when he watches you do it, take the time to plan and set everything up it seems so much more meaningful

- you look so incredibly calm while you work

- he has a lot on his shoulders with school and so do you

- how the heck are you so calm!?

- he teases you gently about it because he likes to be out and about while you stay inside to do your own hobby

- he also teased you because it's just so much easier to do it with magic

- but you can tell just how much he loves it when he's tired from classes and comes to sit beside you, watching your fingers work and move quietly in the common room

- the fire crackling behind the two of you...he hasn't known such peace since entering the Hogwarts threshhold

- and you gave it to him <3

Harry

- despite Harry having lived in the muggle world, he has never seen anyone really embroider or anything before

- you kinda tease him about that

- "Harry you lived in the muggle world how-"

- "Just never came across me before!"

- he asks you to teach him probably and then gives up like ten minutes in because it's too hard

- he can leave it to you

- if you make stuff for him he's so grateful like-

- the boy's only gifts he's ever gotten has been from Ron's family, Dumbledore and the few gifts his parents had left behind for him

- so he like hangs it up or wears it even if you think it could have been better

- "Harry you don't have to wear that-"

- "I'm going to and that's final."

- you try arguing with the chosen one

Fred & George

- the way they abuse your skills

- they made you teach them like the bare minimum and then whenever someone asks what they've been doing they say they were sewing with you

- George actually liked to do it with you and he picked it up rather quickly

- Fred hurt himself five minutes in and never went near a needle or sewing machine ever again

- whatever you make you have to make two of because they're big babies and need everything to be equal

- 'Can you make something that isn't flammable?"

- flaunts your skills 100%

- everyone in their class knows you had skills in sewing and embroidery and no one knows exactly why they know it

- personally steals supplies for you

- and they never get caught. ever.

💚 Alright, so I saw the chance to ramble, and the flood gates came crashing open, so I hope you don't mind me infodumping about Armor and Medieval Combat for a hot second.

Many people don't know about this, since the most common media portrayal of armor is full-plate, but there's a very important and cool type of armor called Gambeson. It's layers upon layers of linen sewed together, so hitting it is like hitting a pillow, more or less. It's surprisingly effective, especially the thicker gambeson, and when paired with other types of armor too.

And there's different names for different types of armor too! Those (sometimes leather) shoulder guards are called Pauldrons, and the skirt-like Faulds protect your hips, which usually have Tassets hanging off of them to protect the upper thighs.

And did you know, when riding a horse, you should always keep your toes pointing up, or else you'll fall of way easier. And when practicing archery, you always need to lift your arrow higher than you'd expect, since your eye isn't on-level with the arrow, so you need to lift it up to hit your shot. And, most medieval archers never used quivers, instead holding the excess arrows between each of their fingers, since quivers are basically useless for mounted or on-the-move firing because the arrows will just fall out.

Sorry this is super long, but like I said, I saw the chance to ramble and I took it. Whoops. Hope you don't mind hun, you're super cool, and I hope you're doing well

I am genuinely so interested in Medieval armour after studying the Medieval period for a module during my degree so this made my brain go all tingly with new facts!!! Also as someone who used to practice archery that arrow fact hit hard lmao

Thank you so much for sending this in, it's so cool!!!!

#this genuinely is so frickin cool #i love #also i always love learning new things so thank you!!! #medieval combat #medieval armour #rowandor

Hi, very sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if I could ask about Altars for a minute. I’m interested in building an altar, but I’m not particularly pledged to any one deity or spirit yet, so I wanted to ask what exactly Altars can be dedicated to. I’m thinking of building one for the Spirits and Creatures of my home, backyard and garden, but what other kinds of Altars can I build? And what should I put on them, and what offerings should I give? Thanks so much in advance, I hope you have a great day!

You’re no bother at all, and you can absolutely create an altar for anything you want! It’s your altar and space, and it’s up to you what that looks like and who/what it’s dedicated to.

Here’s an example of what you might put on an altar for trees!

As for offerings, that can really depend. I’ve offered herbs, food*, water, coins, art/creations, seeds*, etc.

*if offering outside ensure it’s safe for the area or skip this—I don’t offer food for the sake of the animals and I only offer native seeds!

Get creative! Have fun with it! Make it your own! Play around until you find something that feels right, it doesn’t have to be perfect right away/ever. My altars are always changing :)

Hello! If your requests are open at the moment, could you please write some headcanons for The Hobbit about how Bofur, Fili, Bilbo and Dwalin would react to their crush, a short and cute Human Craftsmen girl, giving them a metal rose she made herself in her workshop for them? And she's super cute and flustered to give them it, and how they'd react to her making them a bunch of stuff like that? Thanks so much, I love your blog btw!

Bilbo - 

Bilbo would be so fucking tickled. He’d collect your metalwork roses like a bouquet and keep them displayed proudly on his kitchen table. Every time you brought one of your works home, he’d be so in awe of every delicate detail.

Bofur - 

Bofur is no stranger to delicate work, his own cousin being a toymaker. But your works were always his favorite. Delicate flowers, beautiful knives, he’d adore all of them. His heart would just swell as you approached him shyly, nearly whispering “I made this for you.” 

Dwalin - 

Dwalin would absolutely adore the blush on your face as you handed him such a carefully crafted rose. It would look so small in his large hand, but he’d love it. Not because it was a rose, but because you spend so much time carefully placing petals, and bending the metal to your will. He’d take to rose with such care, and place a soft kiss to your forehead as a thank you.

Fili - 

Fili would want you to teach him, or at the very least just let him watch. When you brought him a gift, he’d kiss your calloused hands, blessing them for all the delicate work that they do. Fili would always try to make you something beautiful and delicate that would compliment you and your work.

[fizzyxcustard]

Hello! Very sorry to bother you, but I had an idea and wanted to see what you thought. How do you think Thorin would react to falling in love with a girl who's very creative and incredibly smart and is just all around very interesting, but she's so introverted and nervous that she ends up isolating a lot? So he ends up being fascinated with this genius who unintentionally avoids people because she's shy? Sorry if that's a weird request, but thank you so much in advance!

I can see that very much. I think any woman that catches Thorin’s eye would be someone he finds ‘different’ and intriguing. They make him think. I also see Thorin trying his best to somehow spend time with her, without overstepping the boundaries. He’d be respectful enough to keep his distance because he can see she’s introverted and likes her space, yet he wants to delve more into her mind and learn about her. So this is when he tries his utmost to do things near to her, or puts her on look out duty alongside himself. 

Love it! Thank you for sharing. :)

Hello, I just wanted to stop by and say that you're an amazing person and I LOVE your work! Especially your art!! I love the Bardfur stuff, I would've never even thought of that pairing but it works so well and I absolutely love it thanks to you. Your depictions of Bofur are absolutely spot-on and hilarious, you seem really cool and have a good sense of humor, and I really admire that. I really hope you're doing well lately, best wishes hun!!

Wow, thank you so much! This is really lovely to see as I’ve been feeling a bit depressed today. (Must be lockdown blues).  I’m glad I can make you laugh, I always like making people giggle, so that’s one of the best compliments I can get!

I never would have thought of Bardfur either, but @alienfuckeronmain converted me with her fic “All Night long” (in case I haven’t gushed about it enough already). I’m so glad you like them! I’m going to do more art of them soon so watch the artspace!   Hope you’re also staying safe and well in pandemic land!! Look after yourself!  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I'm so in love with you I feel like a little container of strawberries 🥰 I have to go to bed now, but I can't wait to see more from you tomorrow. Goodnight!

I have to be honest, it took me some time to answer this ask because at how damn sweet that is but also that I didn't really knew how to answer since i'm not really used to receive such sweet messages... Plus the fact that I really didn’t expected this and having such a precious and soft ask really made my day and still now it warm my poor little heart every time I read it.

Anyway, i'm so glad we know each others and talking with you is always great!! The fact that we share the same interests is so amazing!! Tolkien, D&D, mythology, Ghibli, witchcraft (even though I don't know a lot about it, i'm kind of a beginner at this and I have know idea where to start ;;) and so on, it's always so fun to talk with someone that have the same taste in stuffs as you do plus you are such a kind soul! I can't believe I was scared to talk to you at first 😂😭Also??? My taste??? Immaculate??? This is so sweet! But your taste is way better than mine, and your blog aesthetic too! 🥺

I love you too and hope you care good of yourself too! Have a fresh glasse of water and eat well, don't forget self-care either! It's important! 💕

Adding this sweetheart cause I can and because I know you love him too! <3333

[laurasimonsdaughter]

Hello! Very sorry to bother you, but I have this idea for a story, and I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on something. I have this idea where a Mountain Dwarf moves to a more seaside town, and while she misses the mountains, she ends up falling in love with a Selkie Girl. So, how do you think a Selkie / Dwarf relationship would go? Like what interactions can you see there that'd be super cute or dramatic? Thanks so much, sorry if this is too weird of an ask! Love your blog btw!

Ohhhhh! First of all, that sounds delightful. Ssecond, while I may not have particular pointers about Selkie/Dwarf relationships (they are your characters, I am certain they will tell you what they want to be doing <3) I absolutely must tell you about a Norse myth that they could both be very dramatic about. Both dwarves and selkies feature in Scandinavian mythology, so this would be fitting for them to know (and worry and pine!) about.

When the Norse gods of Asgard killed the Jötunn Thjazi for kidnapping the goddess Idun, keeper of eternal youth, they did not expect repercussions. They should not have forgotten his daughter Skadi, a young goddess from the high snowy mountains. But the daughter would avenge her father’s death, wrong though he had been, and clad in her chain mail and helmet and bearing her weapons of war, she came down her mountain on her skis. The gods, acknowledging her grievance, asked if she would accept reparations in place of vengeance, and Skadi agreed. Among the terms was that she could choose a husband from amongst the gods of Asgard. This was agreed upon, but she could only choose her husband by looking at the gods’ feet. After much deliberation Skadi chose a young man with fine feet as white as snow. She guessed that those could only belong to the fair god Baldur, but it turned out they belonged to the sea god Njord. The two deities liked one another upon closer acquaintance and soon the gods celebrated a magnificent wedding.

However, after the wedding the couple could not decide where their home should be. Njord lived by the sea shore, in a place where the weather was always soft. While Skadi lived high atop the ever snowy mountains. For nine nights they slept side by side in the mountains, but Njord was plagued by the cold, no matter how warm the embrace of his wife, and the howling of the wolves in the night made him shudder. So down they went to the shore and once again dwelt there together for nine nights. But Skadi could not stand the heat and the cries of the sea birds kept her awake, no matter how calming her husband’s presence.

So finally the young couple decided to part, she living on her mountain and he staying by his shore. They could not love each other’s homes, but this did not prevent them from loving each other. At the feasts in Aegir’s halls they would toast each other, and - warrior that she was - Skadi would hunt the enemies of Asgard side by side with her husband.

Doesn’t that sound like just the thing a young Sea VS Mountain couple would be sighing about? (Maybe minus the vengeance and the blind marriage...)

I hope this gave you some inspiration for your story and I really hope you’ll have a good time writing it! It sounds like a wonderful setup.

Hello! My Chronic Illnesses have been acting up lately, which got me wondering, how does one worship when Chronically Ill and Fatigued? What Deities might be most able to aid a Chronically Ill devotee, and are there any tips or tricks with how to maintain an altar and offerings while fatigued and in pain? Sorry if you've already answered this, I've been bed bound all day so I'd appreciate any guidance I can get! Thanks so much, I love your blog!

Hello! Here are a couple posts that may be helpful:

Sometimes fire/flame/hearths/etc. can be tied to deities but also tricky to manage when you’re dealing with fatigue and other symptoms:

Here’s some bedridden devotion ideas for a specific deity (to give you some ideas):

#mouse squeaks #rowandor

[writingandmore]

If you're still doing them, could I please get a Zelda Matchup? I'm Bisexual, Neurodivergent and Fem-leaning Nonbinary (She/Her). Definitely a tomboy, but I still try to be polite and kind to almost everyone. I'm an Artist, Writer and full-time Nerd, with a love for all things Fantasy (D&D, Lotr, The Hobbit, etc), as well as Animation. I've been through a lot in life, but I'm somehow still bubbly and curious as ever. I'm very excitable and open once I get comfortable, but I can also be aloof and even kind of intimidating because I'm a bit unpredictable. I have fluffy brown hair, glasses, pale skin covered in freckles, moles and bruises. I'm pretty short (only 4' 11" talk) but quite lean, and I've been working on gaining muscle lately. My favorite forms of exercise are swimming, walking, and I also pace around in circles to stim. I also have a number of health issues like Asthma and Sleep Apnea, but for the most part I'm a pretty healthy adult. Also, fun fact, I actually have an iron replica of the Master Sword irl, and whenever I play Zelda I always Imagine being Link instead of us being separate characters, so that may be useful to know. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! 🤗

I pair you with Zelda!

 - Zelda would really enjoy getting to know you! She’d love your polite and kind nature, but she’d also be really attracted to your more (traditionally) masculine characteristics! She’s really creative and loves to do as many projects as she can that interest her, so she’d enjoy contributing to your hobbies like art and writing as well!

Training - Preference

Can you please do a short imagine/headcanons for The Hobbit where Thorin, Fili, Kili and Bofur find out their short, lean and generally petite s/o is secretly training themself in Martial Arts, Fighting and Strength Training at night so they can be able to defend themself? And their training have genuinely made them way stronger and more competent in a fight? Thanks so much, love your blog!

|| Masterlist || Requested by @rowandor​

Kili - 

Kili had been looking for you all day, only - to his surprise - to find you in the sparring room. Training. You were so small and while he loved that about you, he was glad to see you training. 

“Amralime, what are you doing?” He laughed, making sure not to startle you. You paused, wiping the sweat off your brow. 

“Training.” You beamed, “I felt bad that you always feel the need to protect me. I wanna be able to defend myself.” 

“Okay. Can I watch?” He wiggled his eyebrows at you. You rolled your eyes at him and went right on training. 

Fili - 

It was the first fight you’d seen in a long time. You and Fili were on a simple journey to establish relations with a nearby community when a rogue band of orcs attacked. Fili was fast, he’d been a trained warrior his entire life, but you - you were graceful, like dancing. Dwarves weren’t known for graceful. When the last Orc fell, your eyes were wild, arms at the ready. 

“The training has done very well for you, My Love.” Fili winked, sheathing his swords. 

“Yes, yes it has.” You smiled. You were proud, and Fili matched your pride, every bit of it. 

Thorin - 

The Queen was gone. He was sure you were somewhere inside the mountain, but it wasn’t like you to disappear. You liked to spend time with the little Pebbles. You were a midwife, the queen midwife, and you loved spending time with the children. 

He found you in the training room, sitting at the side of the room, watching. 

“Amadel. Are you alright?” Thorin crouched to your level, petting your hair away from your face. “You’re usually with the children right now.” 

“I was thinking.” You hummed. “If something happens I want to be able to protect the children.” 

“There is a whole lot of warriors here that will protect them.” He reasoned, trying to stay your worries. 

“I want to learn how to fight, Melhekhel, for myself and the little pebbles.” You took his hand. He nodded solemnly, knowing better than to argue with his wife. 

“Okay, Y/n. I’ll teach you.” 

Bofur - 

“Urzudel.” Bofur bounded over to you, greeting you with a kiss. “How was training today?” 

“It was good.” Then you leaned in to whisper, “I beat Dwalin sparring today. After strength training.” 

“That’s good!” He cheered. “Come here. Can I feel your muscles?” 

You giggled and held out your sore arm. Bofur made a show of feeling your muscles and being surprised and supportive of how much they’d grown. 

“Well, my love, you are going to be stronger than Dwalin someday.” He grinned, kissing you again. “Strong enough to carry all of our children.”
