We are honored by this immensely! However, we are neither of us dancers… I hear @twilightblossom is an adept, as well as is @belenwen. Perhaps you might ask them for advice? We wish you luck, and bend our thoughts to you in support.
Myths Transformed has some of the clearest snippets of Melkor and Sauron’s motivations and personalities, and this is a great break-down for those interested!
I spend a lot of time thinking about one the points mentioned here, i.e. why a maia whose core motivations are centered around order and control would ally himself to a vala who is bent on “nihilism” (or in my personal interpretation, chaos / anarchy). Like many, I have my own ways of interpreting the constellation of info-dots left to us by Tolkien, but this offers a very reasonable explanation. As I said– very good break down over all. 🙂
WHATEVER IT IS YOU TWO ARE DOING I FORBID YOU FROM DOING IT
-looks at him icily and bites elegantly the sleeve of the glove to make it fit better.- Ok. You are next. THAURON! Take another condom.
Sauron: *takes another condo–*
Melkor: YOU. PUT THAT DOWN RIGHT THIS SECOND YOUNG MAN. Melkor: mAEDHROS, I WILL FLY TO AMAN AND BREAK YOUR FATHER OUT OF MANDOS MYSELF -JUST- SO HE CAN SEE WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO DO WITH HIS LIFE’S WORK, SO HELP ME
//From tomorrow I will be hosting some other Finwëans in my home and then roaming around with them, until the 1st of April will likely not be here, but wreaking havoc around good ole’Italy! XD I still have memes to answer to and I promise I will strive to do so! Thisisnotanunbreakableoath!
Have fun and do not do weird things with the Silmarilli in my absence!
that sounds like a challenge
The number of people sending Sauron vicious, passionate hate-snogs warms my blackened heart
Ainur do not need sleep, yet neither are we barred from it. The Eruhini require it to maintain energy and sanity. For us, it is merely a pleasant reprieve from the flow of time, a chance to lose ourselves in memory, dwell in Irmo’s realm to gain inspiration, clarity. (As I understand it, Irmo has never banned my Master from his realm– not even Manwë can command Irmo to close the dreaming.)
For Melkor it is different. His wounds are great. They do not heal, and they wear on him and his remaining energy. He must sleep; it is the last and only method of rejuvenation left to him.
I do not know what my Master dreams of, only that he sometimes glows golden as he did in the Beginning… it fades when he wakes. I have not told him this. It would… I do not think any good would come of it.
You may have heard that the Dark Lord never removes the iron crown, nor rests his eyes. For obvious reasons, we prefer it this way– it is a most beneficial rumor. But nay; the crown rests beside him while he sleeps, in a chamber with no doors or windows, far within the heart of Thangorodrim. Only he has the secret of its entry. The room is black, draped in silk and lined with the hides of giant beasts from the days before the sun and moon. It is more a nest than a bed chamber.
I have been there, when he allows me to stay with him. He is oft restless, and though exhausted, cannot find silence in his own mind. I do my best to comfort him.
