#durin x disa

[nyarlathotep-thecrawlingchaos]

One of my favorite scenes in season one was Elrond's visit to Khazad-dûm, where Durin and Disa proceed to argue over him like he's a lost lil puppy

With Disa's "Can't we keep him?? 🥺" look

and Durin's "NO WE CANNAE KEEP THE MONGREL" look in response

Then Elrond like "okay I know when I'm not wanted I'mma bounce bye fam"

But Disa's just

"So HELP ME we're KEEPING HIM"

And Durin's "NO WE ARE NAE—

"No—

"no absolutely NAE—

".............

"............okay fine but it has to sleep outside"

[mzannthropy]

Another thing I really liked (and very much appreciated) on The Rings of Power was: Prince Durin and Disa. Like, it's good to see an actually loving long term marriage, where the spouses care for each other. A simple thing, sure, but that's why it was so good.

[hikarielizabethbloom]

As a shipper this season and finale gave me so much.

Disa/Durin: relationship goals!

Elendil/Miriel: they're gonna break my heart but I'm here for this

Galadriel/Sauron: do I need to add something?

Galadriel/Adar: 😭😭😭

Galadriel/Elrond: engaged now

Honorable mentions:

Galadriel/Gil-galad: sassy as always

Galadriel/Arondir: yes! Finally together!!!

Galadriel/Gandalf: they will meet next season, right?

[happysafaricampers]

We know that Durin was angry in season 1 because Elrond stopped contacting him for twenty years, but did he ever try to reach out to make sure that his bestie wasn't lying injured in a ditch somewhere? Or did he just sulk? Tbh, I think that is why Disa is warm to Elrond right at the beginning. Because if my husband's bestie ghosted him and didn't reply to any messages and then just waltzed back in after twenty years, I'd probably kick him in the balls. The reason why Disa was so nice and happy to see him was because she knew Durin had been just as bad.

[girddlepatchilles]

Durin and Disa are such a wonderful and loving couple. They were part of the reason I loved Rings of Power S1 and they continue to grow stronger in S2.

The way they are just there for each other and work to support each other... it's just so sweet and lovely to watch.

The scene in the latest ep where Durin breaks down in front of Disa? The way she just immediately goes into "okay I need to look after you" mode? Love it!

And later, when Durin just looks at Disa with such love after the bat thing? No notes. More of them please

[steve-needs-a-hug]

ok but I adore this poster design because Annabrimbor look like they're going to kiss and Galadriel being framed by 2 bickering married couples on either side is just so real. specifically because 2x03 was literally Annatar & Celebrimbor having the couple next door over for drinks

In honor of Summer Celebration Week 5 - Relationships! Specifically, who is your favorite ship on The Rings of Power?

If you have a close second, one you are looking forward to, a platonic ship, or an alternative ship name, please reply in the comments or tags! All are welcome here.

please reblog for more results ~ open for the week!

[deus-sema]

My tragedy sensor warns me that Durin won't be able to keep his promise and succumb to the temptation of the rings which will fracture his relationship with Disa.

Nothing will make me happier than to be proven wrong.

HELLO! How are we all feeling?

Well, we are ALL IN OUR FEELINGS after an incredible finale...which hurt us in many ways. We did have some criticisms, and decided to tackle those first before ending on a high. So, if you want to jump around, timestamps follow!

We start with our thoughts on the big Sauron and Galadriel scene (00:04:09) before concluding that much of our anxiety over how this was handled is to do with our disappointment over Galadriel's place in the show and her character arc (00:26:37). Our critique carries through as we talk through everything Rhun (00:43:32).

Our positivity bursts back into being, possibly surprisingly, when we get to Pelargir (00:49:51) and then Numenor (01:00:05). We get emotional over Durin III (01:10:30) and then tackle all the 'little elfy bits' (01:15:19). Finally, we discuss Adar with a slice of mental health + fandom (01:24:48) before finishing with our farewell to Celebrimbor (01:35:55).

We're aware that we started running out of time at the end, but if you're disappointed that we skipped any details...THE REFORGING IS COMING. Keep an eye on our socials, and we'll be back soon. Thank you all for coming on this ride with us.

We don't want to brag, but this might be our highest level episode of the podcast yet. Rings of Power 2x06 "Where is He?" still has us thinking of analysis we want to add. But it's good we can't, because this episode is almost 2 hours long! Discussion preview above, and time stamps below the cut.

As usual, we're talking most about Númenor. We examine the beautiful tension expressed between Eärien, Elendil, and Míriel, as well as the implications of the Sea Trial for our beloved Queen of the Sea. Kat also gives a detailed thematic read of "The Mariner's Wife" from The Unfinished Tales, connecting Aldarion and Erendis' story to the conflicts we're seeing in Númenor. 

Then we gush about Disa and Durin. Wren gets super meta too, analyzing the big picture POV choices the writers are making, and introducing what she calls the "TROP as LeGuinian Tolkien" theory, discussing what Rings of Power understands about Frodo and Gollum. 

Listen through for some slick beats and fresh takes, wherever you get your podcasts.

Rings of Power (2022-)/Macbeth act one scene five

[gingeragenda]

Oh, goodness! It looks like someone strung up some mistletoe! What three couples (or throuples!) got stuck together underneath and how’d they react?

Thanks for the ask @mylovelylittleobsessions

🌿 Elrond and Durin

Begrudging and awkward and Disa cackles at them (she hung the mistletoe for this sole purpose)

🌿Miriel and Elendil

Swelling music, fireworks, people of Numenor yelling “get a room”, “about fucking time” in the background

Final, unnecessarily disturbing cracky one under the cut

🌿 Annatar and (body of) Celebrimbor

Annatar holding the mistletoe up between them as he poses them for selfies, getting annoyed at how his head keeps lolling out of shot

Four TROP fics I wrote for the FIAB exchange

Llinking my stories for Fic in a Box now the exchange has hit author reveals! I have had four glorious stories written for me as well and I will be linking to those here as well now I can give the authors proper credit.

With ash in your mouth you'll ask it to burn again (Rings of Power) - Haladriel, M, 2700 words. Missing scene from S1 Númenor.

He is thinking of fangs and the hot metal taste of blood and when she flinches a little he wonders if she can tell it - but she only lifts her chin more, defiant, inviting. “This what a king would do?” he murmurs into her skin. A sharp breath. A glare. “I do not wish further battles with you, Halbrand.” “I think you do,” he says, “I think you like it.”

And should I fall behind, wait for me (Rings of Power) - Elrond & Galadriel, G, 2200 words. Friendship and arguments and resolutions:

She lays her head upon his shoulder and breathes, and all the fury and resentment she felt earlier feels – not gone, exactly, but less. No longer liable to choke or smother her, no longer a burden she has dragged all the way up this hill to sit with alone while the others gather in company.

They're whispering his name through this disappearing land (Rings of Power): Adar/Arondir, M, 2800 words, mind the tags. Capture and captivity and elf-orc identity crises.

Some small and desperate part of him tears at his mind – these are orcs you hear, these are orcs, you know the tune, that’s all, they’ve stolen it and distorted it and sullied it like they do all else, it’s not your songs, it’s not your comrades - - but his lips mouth the words of the song all the same.

When will you come back home? (Rings of Power): Disa/Durin & Elrond (and kind of a setup for Disa/Durin/Elrond), 4800 words, family and belonging and living with legacies.

“Friendly,” she says. “A little too keen to impress us.” He nods and looks oddly glum with it. “Typical elves. Ignore us for decades and then lay out all this.” She catches him with the sharp edge of a look. “This is about Elrond.” “It’s not about Elrond.” “It is very clearly about -” “- and I’m not bearing a grudge.”

[rey-jake-therapist]

I started watching The Rings of Power because you were always talking about it. It's really cool, it reminds me of the feeling I had when I was a kid and watched The Lord of the Rings. I love Galadriel. I loved Sauron. I especially like Durin and Disa, and also Elrond, at several moments I wanted to give him a weapon so that it would all end soon hehe.

I thought that only Galadriel would stand out, you know? But I found all the characters well-balanced and captivating. Thank you very much for always sharing, it really encouraged me to watch it.

(sorry if there are any mistakes, English is not my first language)

Oh that's so cool, I'm so happy to read that !!

Look if my obsessive posting got you in, I consider it a personal success!! Thank you for letting me know, you just brightened my day!

And I completely agree with you by the way, all these characters are fantastic and I love them all... I seldom talk about them, I admit, but I'm nevertheless attached to these characters. Especially Durin and Disa! The writers would better not separate them, or I may BITE.

[happysafaricampers]

Headcanon time

Galadriel saw the state that Elrond was in after Elros died. So she disapproves of his close relationship with Durin and Disa because one day, they too will leave him. Elrond insists that it is his risk to take and then when Durin and Disa come for a visit with the kids, he points out that he will always have a small part of them even after they've gone because Gerda and Gamli are so like their parents. And dwarf family traits are strong. He knows there will always be a small part of Durin and Disa in the world.

[feyhunter78]

GOD I saw you writing on the rings of power and I thought I might make a request. Can you do something with Elrond/reader where they somehow end up together in Khazad-dûm and Disa and Durin are first like this: ����😮

And then they try with all their might to bring these idiots together, because their love for each other is obvious to everyone except themselves. (Sorry if this is stupid damn)

This request was not stupid at all!!! It was so cute, and I love writing Disa as a matchmaker, plus It allowed me to use one of my fav tropes! The "there's only one bed" trope, and that is always a win for me!!!! I hope you enjoy!!!

Durin and Disa: Matchmakers Extraordinaire

You were excited to join Elrond on his visit to Khazad-dûm. He had spent hours upon hours telling you of its beauty, and of the kindness of Durin and his family. Truly, you were excited to spend time with Elrond away from the suitors that clamored after you.

So many elflords were vying for your hand, but for a reason you could not seem to understand, none of them felt right to you. They were either too brash, or too shy, too extraverted, or too introverted, too messy, or too neat. Little things continued to trip you up, and you desired to spend time alone with Elrond in order to clear your mind.

“This is the home of Prince Durin, one of my dearest friends.” Elrond said, and he knocked on the door.

It swung open, and two dwarf children darted past you, both causing you to stumble back in surprise. Elrond’s quick reflexes caught you.

You started up at him, embarrassed that your own reflexes hadn’t prevented you from being startled.

“Are you alright?” He asked.

You nodded. “Merely embarrassed, but unharmed nonetheless.”

He righted you, his hands still on your waist.

A sharp cough came from the doorway and you both jolted apart.

“Durin, Disa, how wonderful to see you both again.”

“Three visits in a year? You must feel real guilty, elf.” Durin said, his face serious for a moment before it cracked into a smile, and he wrapped his arms around Elrond picking him up in a hug.

Elrond laughed and, you did as well, once he was set down and you both were ushered into the dwarf prince’s home.

“So, y/n, how long have you known our Elrond?” Disa asked, setting a steaming bowl of stew before you.

“It feels to be eons, but truly we made each other’s acquaintance semi-recently.” You told her, inhaling the delicious smell of her cooking.

“Y/N is an archivist from Eregion, Celebrimbor recommended her for the position in Lindon. She is highly skilled and a lovely traveling companion.” Elrond said, giving you a smile.

You ducked your head. “Elrond is being a flatter as usual; our journey was only so entertaining because he tells such wondrous tales, he really is a magnificent orator.”

Durin shot Elrond a look, who only furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

“And you are not married?” Durin asked abruptly, making Disa smack his arm.

You laughed, “no, I am not. My father has been encouraging me to find someone, but…” You trailed off for a moment, eyes meeting Elrond’s before they flickered away. “I cannot seem to find the right match.”

“That is a shame.” Disa said, ladling more stew into your nearly empty bowl.

“Thank you—I am not too concerned, I love my work, and I have friends to keep me company.”

“Like Elrond.” Durin said.

“Yes, he has, in a short time, become a dear friend of mine.” You smiled at the elf, and he returned it, a fondness in his oakwood eyes that made you feel pleasantly warm.

“And you Elrond, still no wedding you wish to invite us to?” Disa asked, a teasing smile on her face.

He shook his head, eyes flickering to you for a moment before returning to Disa. “No, I like y/n, am content with my work and friendships.”

Durin mumbled something under his breath, and Disa giggled.

Elrond raised an eyebrow, and you looked at him in confusion.

“So, will you both be staying the night?” Disa asked, as she began to clear the table.

“If it is no bother?” Elrond directed the question towards Disa which made Durin grumble.

You stood as well and began to help Disa.

“No, not at all, though the children have their own rooms now, so we only have the one guest room.”

You froze and Disa took the bowls from you, unfazed.

“Of course, I can find other accom—”

“You will stay in my house, I will not have others think I throw my guests to the elements.” Durin said firmly.

You snapped back into action and smiled at him. “That is very kind, Prince Durin, thank you.”

You and Elrond stood in the guest room, staring at the bed.

“Well, it is large enough for two.” You said, slowly setting your pack on the floor.

“I would not put your honor at risk in such a way.” Elrond protested, already rummaging in his pack for his bedroll.

“We are in the home of your dearest friend, and unless you plan to ravish me, I believe my honor will remain intact.” Your cheeks heated at your words, and you distracted yourself with smoothing down the large blanket.

You could hear the embarrassment in his voice. “I would never—I only meant to—”

You giggled and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Elrond, I jest, we will put a pillow between us if it will make you more comfortable.”

You slid into the bed and Elrond extinguished the lamps, before doing the same.

You put a pillow between you, and promptly drifted off to sleep.

When you awoke, there was a weight on your back, and a hard chest beneath your head. You opened your eyes to find Elrond’s sleeping face. A few more moments were all it took to figure out what had happened. Sometime in the night, either you or Elrond had moved towards the other, and you ended up like this. Your head on his chest, legs tangled together, his arm slung across your lower back.

You buried your face in his nightshirt, breathing in the scent of parchment and pine. “I would not be upset to awaken in your arms each morning.” You whispered, glad he was asleep and could not hear your words.

 You had never given much thought to a romantic life with Elrond. Since you met him, you had forgotten what it was like to ever be without him. Now? The idea of marrying someone else and being separated from him, made you feel cold, he was your sun, your warmth. And the idea of him marrying another sent a vile coil of jealousy through you.

Gathering up your courage, you rose up slightly and brushed your lips against his. “I think I may be in love with you.” You whispered once more, admiring his calm features.

As you stared at him, his eyes opened and a smile spread on his face. “I am in love with you.” He said, hand cupping the back of your neck and gently pushing you back down to meet his lips.

You climbed further atop him, cupping his face as he sat up, arms around you and in your hair, as his lips meshed with yours. Warm tingles settled in your skin and heat rushed to your core as Elrond’s lips parted, and his tongue nudged yours apart.

You let out a small whimper as his tongue explored you, the taste of honey and blackberries burst on your tongue, and your chest brushed his as he pulled you ever closer.

A loud cough caused you both to jolt apart, and you wanted to bury yourself under the blanket when you saw Durin and Disa standing in the doorway, wide smiles on their faces.

“I knew it.” Durin said, clapping his hands together in satisfaction.

“Yes, but you still owe me. Y/N seems to be the initiator.” Disa said smugly, holding her hand out.

Durin grumbled, and dropped a few coins into her hand.

“Breakfast will be in a few minutes.” Disa said, smiling, before she and Durin left, shutting the door behind them.

Part 2 here!!!!
