Behold another AU I created way back in 2018, sometime before October! Here we have a Tolkien-ized version of the Grimms brothers' tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. For this AU, I have adjusted the title to Glossuiel and the Seven Dwarves! I remember the time when I started drawing this because it was before my style changed -- you can see that they actually have noses lmao One of the Dwarves is holding a comb, which is an element from the original tale. Only, in this AU, I've altered it to a comb infused with Morgul spells XD In addition, all of the clothing designs for the Dwarves came from the Hobbit movie art book (huge credits to Nick Keller!), and Glossuiel's dress comes from Arwen's from the LOTR movies.
Glossuiel in Sindarin is a translation of Snow White XD As for the names of the Dwarves, I took a leaf out of Tolkien's book and went to the Dvergatal (the "Catalogue of Dwarves"), a section of the Voluspa -- which itself is the first and best known poem of the Poetic Edda (a collection of Old Norse poems). Literally all of the Dwarves' names (and Gandalf's name) from the Hobbit were taken from the Dvergatal. This is because Tolkien's Dwarves don't share their true Khuzdul names with non-Dwarves, so he used Norse for their "public names" XDD And that's what I did too, because it's easier than trying to figure out how to utilize Norse names!
My AU version of Snow White is essentially the same as the Grimms brothers' tale, with some changes. I gave Glossuiel a mix of Feanor and Luthien's stories, where her father is a Sindarin king but her mother dies, and she's also the fairest in all the land (hence why I made her an Elf XD). I haven't figured out how the canon characters of the Silmarillion would fit into this (especially Thingol, Melian, and Luthien), so please bear with me as I continue developing the AU
For the plot itself, I used the Grimms' tale as a base, while also adding in elements from the Silmarillion and Disney's version. For example, Glossuiel's lover is the mortal prince of the house of Beor (cuz I love Beren and Luthien lmao), and her stepmother is a Maia who is quickly seduced to the side of Morgoth. The seven Dwarves are miners from Khazad-dum. It's actually because of Disney's Snow White that I started this AU: I read that Tolkien (and CS Lewis) really disliked the movie because the dwarfs were too childish and silly. I happen to love the movie; Snow White is my favourite childhood princess. So why not combine two of my favourite things and make the Dwarves all noble?
