Gimli Son Of Gloin - Blog Posts

I enjoy when people make the elves as creepy and upsetting as they actually are.

Gimli (who loves Legolas) looking at him looking down his arrow as he aims for a rabbit that seems far to far away to shoot: are you sure you can make that?

Legolas then takes the shot and slowly turns to Gimli with terrifying cat pupils and a very creepy sharp canined smile: I got him.

The hobbit fandom is so beautiful:

Oh this character has a physical disability, lets come up with 50 ways that their community will rally around them in a series universe accurate care methods to make their life easier.

Oh this character has brain damage of a learning disability? They are treated with the same level of respect and understanding as everyone else and what ever they are able to contribute from creating things to simply being present with their friends and family is enough

Oh this character is gender queer? Screw it let’s take the entire fandom and just remove gender constructs as we know them from several races. Making any sexism or homophobia seem as truly strange and off putting as it is not normal in these societies.

The hobbit fandom is based as fuck

The plot of ‘The hobbit’ with one small change to the story: Bilbo has a gun.

Which is a prequel to:

“Lord of the rings but Gimli and Frodo Samwise both have guns”

rewatching lotr, and rewatched the hobbit trilogy like 2 weeks ago, and i must say. i love this franchise for all its “i knew a guy who knew a guy” relations. like to give just one example, gimli presumes for a second, like the whole fellowship, that frodo got injured by the cave troll in moria. but he’s actually just fine! because frodo just happens to be gimli’s dad’s boss’s situationship’s nephew, and therefore has the mithril shirt that gimli’s dad’s boss gave to his situationship right before gimli’s dad’s boss led the company to battle against, among others, legolas’s dad. legolas’s old situationship from like last year (60 years ago) was also there and chose, get this, gimli’s dad’s boss’s nephew over him. i love yall

"I love him, whether or no."

Do you ever think of the fact that Gimli knew Ori well enough to be able to recognise his handwriting after years of not seeing him?

Do you think about one night, Ori, Fili, Kili and Gimli are out having drinks or something before they leave to join the Company, joking and promising Gimli that they’d be back soon to tell him all about it, how they couldn’t wait to see him again but in Erebor.

Do you think that Ori and Gimli sat together, alone. The Princes voices no longer filling the silence.

Then Gimli sat alone.

I’m gonna draw this 🤫🧏‍♀️

Gimli, 03.2024

And another character for my collection. Love him so much 🩷 drawing the helmet was so fun, the beard a bit less, but I persevered...

GAAAHH THEY'RE SO CUTE IN YOUR STYLE 💛💛💛

Gimli x Legolas

Just a lil doodle of them

While it was a longshot, I do appreciate that Gimli did try chopping the Ring up with an axe first. It was worth a shot, and they'd have all felt like bloody idiots if they took the Ring all the way to Mordor only to find out it could have been chopped up by an axe all along.

Aragorn: *Listening to the ground* Yes! That way!

Legolas: The wind whispers and the leaves tell me that our hunt is near.

Gimli: I have weird friends, but they're my friends and I wouldn't change them for the world.

Podcast started Two Towers! So here’s the first three chapters ✨

The Three Hunters ©️ Ruth Brown 2025

I “redesigned” the trio after rereading and rewatching the trilogy and was inspired to mesh a bit of their movie forms, book descriptions, and my own flair on their designs. I think it turned out pretty fun!

I love when Legolas adds some leather pauldrons to his fit at the battle of Helm’s Deep so I incorporated that silhouette into this new design, while leaning a bit more into a woodsy “fey” idea.

Aragorn is largely similar to the movies but physically resembles how I imagined his book descriptions, a tall, dark, and strong man akin to how most Gondorians are described, especially Boromir.

I wanted to embellish Gimli a bit more to call back to his origins from the Lonely Mountain after its reclamation and the abundance of wealth that would have been dispersed through the Hobbit’s company of dwarves and their families. I love his weapons in the movies though so the sort of cut out style is only a bit altered (and more poorly executed) in my design.
