Firstly– and I mean this, this is important– TOP OF THE LIST, forever and ever, is Tulukastâz. That is to say, Tulkas.
He is THE worst …I’d go so far as to say he’s the top three worst.
1) Tulkas 2) Tulkas 3) Tulkas
FOUR: Namo, and his confounded, hideous prison. I will say no more of him.
I suppose that makes my brother, Mânawenûz, number five. He thinks I betrayed him, I think he betrayed me…. It’s… complicated. I loved him most dearly in the beginning. But he did judge me and sentence me and condemned me on every occasion since… and besides that he is infuriatingly patronizing and aloof.
6) Oromë, who despised me from the first, who hunts my creatures, my children, who brays his horrible horn in the forests and made it impossible for me to leave my fortress in the early days without suffering some injury. A brute, nearly as bad as Tulkas, if far less damaging to my person. He is a menace to my offspring.
7) Varda, whose every look seethes with disdain and indifference towards me… I could not hate her more if she had openly spit in my face– Hell and Void, I’d count that a considerable improvement! Her sickle raised in the air spites me even on moonless nights.
8) Ulmo. His work is inimical to mine. I do not bear him any special hatred, but he is my most, shall we say, present enemy upon Arda, with the most persistent interference of my plans.
…The rest of my kin, I could take or leave. I admire some of their works very much, and others bore me so much I hardly remember they exist some days.
I still have something of a relationship with Irmo, whose dreams are yet open to me; one of my rare solaces in these haunted days. Nienna once spoke for me in the Mahanaxar; I have not forgotten it.
Of Aulë I can express nothing but disappointment that he and I did not agree upon more. His Maiar, on the other hand, are top notch. Hhhnhn…
(And I am fond of the extra padding they give him ❤) Why? It seems to me what the Foe of the World likes or dislikes is information of little use to your kind. Unless you plan on baiting a trap for him as if he were a wild badger.
1) Bees are perfect and incorruptible. 2) I suspect Evil Honey tastes roughly the same as Virtuous Honey. 3) Willfully malicious bees would not share their honey. 4) Evil Bees already exist, they are called wasps, and they get up to some heinous shit without my help, I mean have you met parasitoids??
