Dwarven Design Appreciation Posts  | 1 of 5: Patterns

My first reaction was - Oooh, pretty!

Then - so much geometric design @_@

Which lead to the thought of - wait, wouldn’t the dwarves be huge geometry geeks? They are engineers at heart, and that’s reflected in their art style. I kinda want to see a fic now where Bilbo is sort of rolling his eyes at the rough-and-tumble dwarves only to have them blow his mind with advanced mathematics that he can’t begin to follow. Like, someone like Dwalin or Bofur is a total math wiz, even amongst dwarves, and he’s maybe trying to work out how the whole pine-tree-over-the-cliff thing must have worked and Thorin kinda sidles up to add his two cents but is trying not to show how excited he is to be doing calculations again instead of stabbing things, and before you know it the entire company is geeking out over equations and Bilbo realizes that poor liberal arts/geography student that he is he has NO IDEA WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT.  

OH MY GOD AVELERA PLEASE WRITE THIS it’s such a good idea! Why did no one think of this before? Maybe it’s an attractive trait for the dwarves, like, apart from fighting and forging, being a maths genius makes all the dwarf girls/boys swoon? Instead of whispering sweet nothing’s into your beloved’s ear it’s like talk long division to me, baby
