#Ainur

[humbleschilder]

To me, as I perceived it, Manwe and Melkor are bound to each other, they are brothers and the eldest of the Valars, and they understand Eru more than the others. But at some point I think that Melkor was more powerful than his brother, even though at the end he didn't have authority over Arda because of his treason.

It's kinda love hate relationship because at a certain moment Manwe didn't really take a bold decision against Melkor, because he was his brother, and so is Melkor.

That's why I depict them in a same manner, the melancholy in their gesture is what I wanted.

It comes in Threes

✍ Prompt: Throuple + veni vidi vici | Arien/Eönwë/Melkor x Mairon ✍ Synopsis: On Almaren, Mairon finds various lovers; in his hubris, he wants them all. ✍ Warnings: Mairon is a little shit ✍ Triple drabble ✍ SWG archive

The first time Mairon acquires a lover, it is purely by happenstance. 

It is Arien who seeks him out, who comes to him when he is by himself and makes the effort to get to know him. 

He is the only fire spirit left beside her, and she desperately craves a companion who understands her, Mairon knows. But he too grows fond of her — her grace, her pride, her temper, her nature that is so similar to his own. 

And it's a comfortable position to be in, to be sought after by one of Almaren's most admired and desirable Maiar.

Eönwë has been watching them, both him and Arien. Mairon has long since seen his longing glances and observed his attempts to be near either of them, visiting Vána's meadows and Aulë's forges to talk to them under some pretence. 

His attention, too, is flattering, much like Arien's, as he's the chief of the Maiar and renowned for his strength in battle. 

Arien thinks of him as a cute little toy. Mairon agrees. They decide together that they want him. 

Eönwë is overjoyed when they embrace him, having expected rejection; yet now he's a part of the love he desired. 

Melkor has little consideration for Mairon's Maiarin lovers and thinks himself the victor of any competition before it has even begun. 

At first Mairon is irate and rejects him, but later he begrudgingly sees a strange wisdom in his stance. For would he not be a fool to trade a Vala for a few Maiar, lovers he so easily acquired no less? 

To become Melkor's would be effortless, Mairon thinks, but to claim him on his own terms would be a challenge. 

The willful Vala has his own plans, but in his hubris, he wants him for his collection still. 

Thanks for reading! ♡

Manwe~

Understandably sad on the basis of his brother being primordial Evil And also like the idea that he looks very similar to Melkor, tho much softer

Au

Where the rivalry/tense relationship of the 9 walkers isn’t between the dwarf and the elf, but between the elf and the maia.

Legolas, when he realizes he has to be in proximity of an ainur for days on end: ah

Gandalf, when he realizes the elf going on the quest is a silvan, a people the Ainur have a tumultuous relationship with: mnnnn

Gandalf and legolas repeatedly saying in their head: it’s for middle earth

Legolas, realizing that, while the ainur have a history of not taking responsibility of their own kind’s actions and having a habit of overinflated ego, gandalf is at least trying to do smth about it: you’re ok i guess.

Gandalf, realizing that legolas is at least willing to remain civil and that it could have been worse, it could have been Lasgen: i’ll take it

Gandalf and Legolas getting into lowkey passive aggressive fights on the credibility of the valar (or lack there of) that bewilders everyone else

Gandalf: head to lothlorien

Legolas: are you kidding me?

Gandalf: *dies taking out a balrog*

Legolas: Are you fucking kidding me?!

It’s essentially a rivalry between an atheist and god.

Legolas, looking gandalf dead in the eye: the gods may judge me, but their sins out number my own

Gandalf: *looks at the camera like he’s in the office*

Ossë: (starts violently shaking his crib while imitating storm noises)

Mairon: (signature look of superiority)

[massivewonderlandtragedy]

Some of the many thoughts I had whilst reading the Silmarillion:

"What the fuck?!", "you can't be serious", "DON'T DON'T!", "oh dear lord", "hear we go", "you absolute idiot", "Why? Just Why?", "Well I'm now depressed", "Oh I like him (dies) OH F*CKING COME ON", "(another character dies) another bites the dust", "does no one here have a brain cell?", "well maybe it can't get any wor- JESUS WEPT HOLY SH*T!!!"
