What makes it even better for me, is how the fandom has widely (and gleefully) decided that, yes, to us Kili is The Hot One, but amongst Dwarves he's probably considered very plain, if not actively unattractive. (as the lady dwarves swoon at Bombur's beard and Dori's braids, and think that it's really a pity that the royal family should all have such pitiful beards and flat little faces)

[truxillogical]

Heh. I kind of like that interpretation. Though I read somewhere that Thorin's lack of beard isn't because he can't grow a massive, braid-y one, but because in Jacksonverse (at least), short beards are a sign of mourning among dwarves, and Thorin keeps his short until he can take back his throne, in mourning of what he and his people lost. Kili I figured was just younger, and maybe it takes time for a beard to grow proper? Same with the flat faces. Human noses and ears grow larger with age, so maybe with dwarves it's just more pronounced and happens more quickly, and Kili just hadn't grown into his yet?

Or he's plain. I like either one. (Him being "plain" means that all the happy-verse fanart that takes place in the future can keep his hotness too.)

Also, I guess, it can't possibly take that long to grow a proper beard. A regular human dude with beardly abilities would have at least passed the perma-scruff after the time they've been on the road. Maybe he keeps it that short on purpose. Maybe it has something to with his weird thing for elves.

Yeah, I have heard that movie-verse has Thorin keeping his short in mourning...and I guess it wouldn't be quite proper for Fili to have a fine long beard when his uncle the king has a short one, and as an archer it would be VERY inconvenient for Kili if he had a long beard (ack, imagine his mustache hair getting yanked out every time he anchors the string near his mouth then looses it, ouch ouch)

It's still my favourite headcanon that they're funny-looking, right up there with the headcanon that Legolas is a butterface by elven standards, lol
