I agree!

By the way, before we get onto dwarves, I also think that Bloom and Wood are TOTALLY gorgeous! Anyway, about dwarves, me and my friend love Gimli! He is so funny and brave and is always ready to rush to the aid of his friends! Loved him in the movie and I love his character in the books. I do think that dwarves have been ignored because in LOTR there's only 1 dwarf (Gimli) whereas in the hobbit (which I read before LOTR) there are hundreds of 'em, which for me makes them more important in LOTR! Sorry this turned out longer than I expected! To sum up, Dwarves are COOL!

DWARVES ROCK! (no pun intended.) Gimli is so cool. He's my favorite character (after Faramir, but he's a totally different type of guy) and makes me smile every time I see him. He's just the coolest ever! JRD was a really good Gimli, and made his character real for me. He was one of the few who didn't ruin my mental image.

Well folks, they've made a spiffy White Tree of Gondor. Now, who here (who doesn't have a job or AP tests to study for) will take up the challenge for an axe icon? The Dwarves must be represented! Yeah, yeah... whateva.

White Tree

Hey, maybe I'll try to make an axe icon! Dwarves rule, and must be represented on the Barrow-downs with their own icon!

Besides, icons are fun to make.

I like the dwarves, and they need something to represent them here, though there are so few people who like the dwarven kind.

LONG LIVE GIMLI!

Gimli rules, and I have made him an icon to rule them all... erk, I mean represent the dwarves.

What do you think?



One axe icon to rule them all...

Thumbs up

That is totally awesome! It's even more detailed than our new White Tree! Have you sent it to BW yet to get it as an official icon?

White Tree

No, I don't know who to send it to. Would you know, Tulkas?

I'm glad that you like it. And in the White Tree thread, two other people agreed that my icon was good, and that we needed a dwarven icon.

So, who would I send it to?

I'm not so much a Gimli fan as I am a dwarf fan in general. I lover their steadfast ways, the loyalty that they have for one another, and the deep sense of patriotism. Gimli is by far the greatest character in the Fellowship, and I was a bit disappointed by PJ's downsizing of his character in the movies to a more comical relief role, but he still comes across as a tough with a black & white view of right and wrong!

I don't really think there's just a few of us. I mean, who could resist Gimli's good heart, pessimism and sense of humour? He's just awesome. In general, I'm not particularly attached to Dwarves, but Gimli (alongside Balin and Thorin) makes an exception. I'm wondering... if there was a poll, which one would be liked more, Gimli or Legolas? Because I couldn't decide between them - they're both lovely - and I think quite a lot of other people would have hard time making their choices as well...
