GTFO?! *grabs hobbit* slovenly bastards *tosses* hope that was not the one we were looking for // — the witch-king @of-angmar is a problem solver

*collapsed in a chair, face in hands* 

If it is, tell him to throw my Ring in the lava already and put me out of my misery. 

-kicks at Sauron and pops him in the mouth- HEY YOU MEANY YOU MAD MAI CRY!(daughterxftheseas)(don’t mess with the bean squad)

….Please don’t hurt your small foot on my jaw, I need to return you in one piece.

-itty bitty water bean runs into Sauron’s forge grabs the nearest tool and darts off with it~(daughterxftheseas)

NnnnooOOO you don’t—!!!   *grabs her by the scruff like a squirming kitten*

There. Threat neutralized. 

……..

Now what?

Interesting. And beautifuly screwed up relationships. Ah. But what about golden Melkor and Mairon (admirable-mairon’s)?

@admirable-mairon
They’ve never been formally introduced in RP (so far, I think we’ve been working on the assumption that the two Maiar met after their bosses were imprisoned), but I suspect my Melkor would enjoy his company and treat him like one of his spoiled dragon babies. 

Now, other way around! Your muses’s relationships and opinions on admirable-mairon’s Mairon

–For reference, @admirable-mairon wrote their lovely response here. I’ll try to answer as thoroughly as they were kind enough to do! – 

Gawd, okay, look, their relationship is a hot, hot mess in every possible way. 
It is très #problematique. It is almost certainly going to end in blood and tears and revenge and cathartic hate-banging. They are two very lonely, very territorial cats in a fucked up bag. They’re either going to kill each other or join forces and free up to two separate Melkors* from the Void and then kill each other or kill everyone else, or die trying. 

*Having a separate Sauron and Mairon gets way more complicated when the other player already has an established Melkor, which we do. 
@admirable-mairon summed this up very well in their post: We have two separate Melkors, and two separate histories serving him. The events are the same, but the outcomes and motives were very different, and this gives the muses something to compare and argue about in RP.
We could go one of two ways on this: either this is a sort of Mirror-Universe AU, where two realities featuring different versions of the same person bumped into each other and merged, OR, we have twin Saurons and twin Melkors simultaneously. …That is way too many dark lords for one planet. Let’s call this the “Everyone Is Fucked” AU. 

I answered this in my earlier post, but I’ll stress again that “Brother/Sister” is an honorary title that Maiar who serve/d the same Vala use. They are not biologically related or socialized together. Just. Wanted to specify. Because this is the Silmarillion, and shit happens. #NoTwiceBelovedBro, #My Other Girlfriend Turned Out To Be My Sister, #That’s Rough Buddy. 

Hopefully this is coming across in the RP, but my Sauron sees a lot of his Melkor in Mairon, and Mairon likewise sees a lot of his Melkor in Sauron.
It’s super-duper messy because the relationship between Mairon and his Melkor is SO VASTLY DIFFERENT from Sauron’s relationship– and frankly, Sauron is Not A Fan of Mairon’s very, very abusive Melkor.
They each remind each other of the flaws in their respective masters, and Sauron is simultaneously attracted and repulsed by this. He’s stuck between wanting to subdue and humble his impudent brother, whereby fulfilling the role of abusive surrogate which is so repellent to him, or trying to repair Mairon’s self-worth and coping mechanisms, which will probably land him in another toxic tail-spin of a relationship that will break his heart.   

From a professional Dark Lord standpoint, he can’t simply ignore Mairon, because whatever Mairon does affects their empire and standing as a whole. Mairon is volatile, impulsive, and voracious, and frequently does things that jeopardize alliances or tactical advantage, and this gets under Sauron’s skin in such a huge way. Oh boy does he hate that. He has to clean up little brother’s messes AND organize his half of the war effort, and it just ruffles him up so bad to know he’s associated with a reckless, wanton, MESS MAKER with no sense of diplomacy or responsibility and NO BEARD and A TINY HAMMER.   

RRRRRRRRGHHGHGGG *wringing motion* 

On the other hand, Mairon is cut from the same cloth as he is, and they have enough in common that sometimes they get along like wildfire. Also, Sauron finds it attractive when people are attracted to him, even if he finds them infuriating. And unnaturally hairless. And skinny. And lacking in decorum or basic decency. And blond. 

BUT SOMETIMES they get along great and understand each other perfectly, in between times when they’re undermining each other’s authority or hate-flirting or insulting each other’s aesthetics. 👍

Hey! I hope you don’t mind me asking, but I like to occasionally read your RPs, and the latest had me a bit confused. I was pretty sure you were replying as Melkor to your RP partner’s Sauron, but then I got a bit confused by your last post with Sauron’s shoulders slumping and your IC: Sauron tag. Is this just because I’m unfamiliar with your tagging, or am I missing something?

Oh! No problem! XD This thread is probably pretty confusing without explanation, huh? (also thanks for reading my RPs! That’s really cool! :’D )

So, this RP is taking place in a casual AU where Mairon and Sauron are two separate characters. They are both Maiar of Aulë who left to join Melkor… actually, in this case, two separate Melkors. (We haven’t quite resolved that plot point yet. >v>; I guess the Melkors are brothers too? aldkfj;alsdkfj just assume they’re stuck in the Void together or something).

My house rule is that any time I’m playing with another Sauron/Mairon, the two are “brothers”. (On this blog, my headcanon is that “Brother”, “Sister”, and “Cousin” are all honorary titles used between Maiar to distinguish those who serve the same Vala, and those who serve somewhere else. That’s why this Sauron refers to Ossë as “Cousin” while he calls other Mairons and miscellaneous Maiar of Aulë “brother” or “sister”.) Usually I take the name Sauron or Thû (which is my preference on this blog anyway) and the other player takes the name Mairon. 

I RP with other Sauron-roleplayers because our interpretations are completely different, and the two characters often interact in interesting ways. These threads never take place in canon, so I don’t usually fuss too much about the details of a Middle Earth timeline with two Saurons or two Melkors existing at the same time. XD It’s really more of an excuse to have fun with other blogs. 

Hope that helped clear up the confusion! 

I’m not saying I’d love to see a scantily-clad Dutiful-one, but well, if ever there was a chance to get a look at her all sweaty or working or just chilling out, I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity. She is gorgeous.

-I’d- certainly love to see it! XD
 who wants to commission me to draw forge cheesecake? >w>`eh, eh?

Do you ever change your hair to a different color? If so, do you use dies? Or wigs perhaps? Or maybe you don’t bother with different hair colors at all?

I have never felt particularly compelled to change my hair color, no. But it has been known to change aspect with the rest of me to become like smoke or fire, when the mood takes me.

If the craftsman could hear him she would have heard the squeak that escaped her lips. No, her parents didn’t know about this at all, and Mitsa may well have her head if her father magically doesn’t. Yet, she still sat down to write back. S, no my father doesn’t know. So, please don’t tell. Thank you for your help. I found the beads in a box that was rather unfortunately unsalvageable close to a shipwreck or two. Couldn’t tell well. There is a gift in the envelope. You like jewelry, yes? -Laume

He smiled at this last line, setting the letter down to unfold its accompanying parcel, bound in waxed paper.

In his reply, he sketched a quick illustration of his gift, as it might look fully restored with its partner:

“Dearest Laumë, 
Your gift delights me. I do indeed have a fondness for jewelry and its crafting. This poor earring has lost its companion, but I have recreated it here together with its mate. It appears to be Telerin in origin; cast in silver and electrum.
I don’t doubt it has quite a story to tell; how it was separated from its twin, whether it was dropped by accident, or if its wearer met a grisly end at sea…
I will find some use for it, single or no. Perhaps it can be remade as a clasp.”

He paused, sliding open a chest of glittering artifacts he’d kept on hand. He tapped his lips, walking his fingers through the selection of ornaments until he alighted on a piece that met with his approval. 

“I have a gift for you in return. 
Regrettably, I was unable to attend your presentation, and thus could not deliver a naming gift in person. But now that you are older, I have the pleasure of offering this bracelet to you directly. 
I feared you might be oversupplied with pearls and abalone, and therefore something with gemstones might interest you more.

It is a simple, elegant little thing; if you were to, say, drop it by mistake into the ocean and then retrieve it again, I doubt it would come to any harm. You might then be able to say in perfect honesty that you’d found it in the sea, if anyone were to question where you’d gotten it. 

And, as you may have heard some unflattering accounts of my history that might make you wary, I give you my word as a smith that it is entirely unenchanted and harmless. You needn’t ever fear that from your godfather. 

Ever at your service, 
~S. “

Fastening his reply and its treasure to the foot of a waiting courier (a frigate bird, for travel over seas), he sent the message on its way. 

i don’t do RPs so i have never interacted with you in-character, but i just wanted to say how much i enjoy seeing your RPs and headcanons on my dash! and your Sauron has such a distinctive and enjoyable voice and character that when i imagine him acting/thinking/talking when reading the Silmarillion or the Unfinished Tales, I sometimes find myself automatically interpreting him through the lens of your version!

I don’t even know how to respond to this properly; having a place in someone else’s imagination seems like an honor I don’t deserve. Thank you friend :’) This is inexpressibly lifting. ❤
