also, if you play as Orome’s former apprentice, you have magic dog, which can be upgraded to Huan, but is is long and you need to watch your bloodthirstiness stat and evade quests which raise your evilness, even though some nice berserk skills work only with hugh bloodthirstiness. Or magic dog will leave your party forever.

Magic dog has left your party forever

Actually it is possible to beat Sauron, but you need to have this exclusive ultrarare special event summon Huan because of his special buff ‘can die only one way’.

I know right? it’s such BS

If I may rephrase my question: how /did/ you feel about Celebrimbor?

“For a time I felt as though I could forget who I was, and what I had lost. He reminded of what I had given up in pursuit of war; all my inventions, my chance to innovate, to create. He let me imagine a new life, one unfettered by vengeance. With him I could be an entirely different person, one who could build, and heal, and love, as though my grief were surmountable. 

It was a pleasant dream, beautiful and seductive while it lasted. But it was only a dream, destined to vanish upon waking.”

In some old post you had told that fractals are ainur catnip. Is this relevant to all ainur in you verse or just Sauron?

All my fractal-related headcanons are under the #Fractal Basilisk tag. 
(THE DEADLY. Fractal basilisk tag.)

 I mean… it’s 90% crack, but it has a couple of roots in actual headcanon theories? XD

Fractal hypnosis is mostly relevant to the mathematically/geometrically inclined Maiar (Langon is susceptible to ice fractals. He can go to rehab with Sauron.) 

Something in the Maiar programming for completing tasks, as well as identifying substances related to their origin, makes them want to track the iterations of the fractal until they find the end.
But it just keeps going! AHAHA WOW THERE IT GOES AGAIN JUST LIKE THE LAST 1,000,000,000 times! I wonder what it’ll do next!  …AMAZING!

I figure it’s both relaxing and stimulating and it engages 100% of their CPU. A fractally-susceptible maia will just kind of freeze up and blue screen until something snaps them out of it. Hence, “catnip”, because of the incapacitating effect on the senses.  

I don’t think Valar are affected by fractals at all, simply because they’re that much more familiar with the properties of Infinity.

“And this habitation might seem a little thing to those who consider only the majesty of the Ainur, and not their terrible sharpness; as who should take the whole field of Arda for the foundation of a pillar and so raise it until the cone of its summit were more bitter than a needle; or who consider only the immeasurable vastness of the World, which still the Ainur are shaping, and not the minute precision to which they shape all things therein.”

Melkor probably CAN see the entirety of the fractal down to subatomic particles, and just doesn’t care.
Like, “PFFFF, infinity-schminity. Why do you think I came back from exploring the Outer Dark? You think I’d still be here if there was something cooler happening anywhere else in creation? Also hey, guess what’s more interesting than math: ME.” 

So about “what you are known for in the fandom” I was talking to an acquaintance awhile ago about other blogs that have great meta and I mentioned you, but they couldn’t place who you were precisely and when they finally remembered they just exclaimed “THE GIANT DWARF SAURON!” lmfao.

THAT PLEASES ME SO MUCH X’D  

Sauron gladly accepts his honorary-Khuzd status by virtue of hairiness.  

My lords, I am currently trying to portray the obvious trust between the two of you in a dance(because you both are very interesting and I could find the music and the muse for it) anyway would you have any advice on how to advance with this?

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. 

Dear Sauron, I’m asking you this question because I fear your master would smite me for it. Do you and Melkor ever sleep? I assume Ainur don’t need to. But did that change for Melkor once he was trapped in a single form?

You are correct, on both counts. 

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. 

“Less enduring? No, but it’s perhaps more violent, is it not?”(twilightblossom)

Are you suggesting that Luthien and Beren’s legacy was free of violence? I wonder if Thingol would agree, or Dior, or Elwing. Or the free wolves whose packs were decimated, bereft of their father. 

In any case… what would our resistance be without violence? Would anyone care for orc martyrs, dying passively to promote their right to live? Would any of my Master’s works have survived, if he had not fought for them? Would the Valar not have erased him from history, as they did from their ranks? 
And if I did not fight to remind them that their injustices were not forgotten, that I lived yet to avenge my lord, would they take notice at all from the comfort of their removed paradise? 

Of course my legacy is a bloody one. So is yours. So are theirs.
