hmmm actually hot take but both melkor and mairon are femme actually. in this essay i will

#lee chatters #no but seriously #so much of how we view them as characters when shipping them together is just an extension of modern gender roles #applied to two characters who are canonically immortal shapeshifters #why would they follow human gender norms? #also not even getting into the idea of the person on the 'bottom' being viewed as subservient bc again #WHY WOULD THEY FOLLOW THAT #THEY DONT EVEN NEED BODIES WHY WOULD THAT BE VIEWED AS ANYTHING #at some point we have to be not weird abt that #assigning mairon a particular sexual position because he ranks lower is dumb #likewise assigning melkor a particular sexual position because he ranks higher is dumb #how hard is it #we write abt gnc/enby mairon all the time #but we also need to consider how we handle that #especially when approaching him with a more feminine appearance #it's still misogynistic to portray feminine as equivalent to subservient even if the character is amab #okay rant over #for now #melkor #mairon #angbang #the silmarillion #first age foolishness

once again thinking abt how canon angbang would probably be non-consensual. also that mairon would not be fine with that.

#he wouldn’t freeze up i don’t think #he’d get mad #like so many times people depict him thinking it’s unsolvable or even that he’s fine with it and just #what did you miss #where does tolkien establish that he would do that #nah he’d do what he did to everyone else who tried to overpower him: fuck shit up #lee chatters

ah yes, the silmarillion. or as i like to call it, the lore of the rings.

do NOT be normal about aragorn around me ‘oh he’s such a badass he killed so many orcs’ yeah idc i’m here to talk about him all alone sewing up holes in his socks next to a campfire in his ranger days singing elven songs from his childhood and he sort of has a terrible singing voice but the ents love it and then later when he joins the fellowship and everyone’s up late singing goofy songs he’s so happy to have a chorus with him now and his voice keeps breaking and boromir is laughing so hard at him that he’s crying but not in a mean way and aragorn knows so he just sings louder and worse and he thinks he could get used to this

Eonwë: You rule justly and deserve my respect. Manwë: You deserve my respect for your loyalty and we will have a respectful professional relationship. Mairon, rolling up ten minutes late with Ainurin Starbucks: hey Melkor you dumbass slut your form is shit Melkor: fucking marry me already you terrifying bastard

#prev tags go with the second one its way more fun

#the difference in dynamics is REALLY funny #eonwe is SO respectful of manwe and mairon just casually calls melkor a dumbass constantly and melkor makes heart eyes at him #they also have deep respect for each other they're just...assholes #mairon #sauron #melkor #eonwe #manwe #angbang #the silmarillion

actually melkor pining after a VERY oblivious mairon during the First Age is so funny to me. melkor is screaming crying while mairon is just glad melkor seems to be appreciating everything he does for him. like. mairon. bestie. he is wearing the least amount of clothes he can get away with and sitting on your desk and playing with his hair and all you have to say is “you look nice.”

The Lord of the One Ring, and of all Rings

I have never played Elden Ring, but it has a nice aesthetic. Meanwhile the deyassification of Sauron is something I’ll never forgive Amazon for.

#mairon is great at politics but romance? #never heard of her #melkor is cutting higher and higher slits into his tunics and refusing to wear pants #and mairon’s just like “oh cool” #gothmog has to listen to melkor’s frantic weeping and screaming #he is too aro/ace for this shit #mairon #melkor #angbang #the silmarillion #first age foolishness #silliness
