Wise and far-seeing you have proven to be, and a blessing to your lords in faraway dells. But not as far-seeing as they! And in your lack of scope, you are less useful, less strong.
Wouldn’t you rather have the same mastery over visions as the Lady of the Golden Wood? Or relay to distant Imladris the sights you had seen, the secrets of your enemies spied and His plots laid bare?
Here is a vessel made in old Eregion– of the same make and craft as the Lady’s Mirror! With it you could certainly see and communicate with that fair queen who is so wise, whose councils would be of great service to you, or the Half-Elven with all his lore. Yea, even at the shores of the great sea, you might still find them, if you have their trust (and why would you not have their trust?); for in it lies the power of clear water. Pour into any still basin, and it will take you along the streams of time and over distance.
In whose keep has such a powerful artifact lain hidden for so long, you may ask? Who else might see through its clear, unguarded glass?– But of what importance are such questions when its use could aid so many?
For Sauron: What do you think of me? (/Lame, I know, but we’re very curious to know :3)
Ah, you. Are you not something of a smith yourself, as well as an entertainer? A rare quality for one so blond of hair, but one that would not be surprising if you are indeed the kin of old Felagund.
Looking you over now, I find you not unshapely, if a bit blandly elfish for my personal taste. I see a bit of Finrod in you, too. Something in that strong Noldor jaw… Makes me want to force you to your knees. –Not that I’d be so rude to an honored guest in my Master’s hall!
If I touch your arms, I find them firm and round as a tree branch, and these shoulders have a pleasant curve to them. I see your skin is marked with scars most prominently. Here, and here. Was this a smithing accident, or an orc? That must have hurt, but the result is striking. A lovely rake of color across that marble flesh.
Yes… I’d say your scars are the most interesting thing about you, Gildor. Scars are pathways, a map of old sensations and a road to new ones. They want tracing; some intrepid explorer may make his way down them some day. But it will not be me.

The word my jester brings to mind is ‘zūkku’: it means ‘clarity’, as in the transparency of quiet, clear water. He is gentle in manner and speech, and hides nothing from me.

Of Salgant? “Rīmtumārû”. A white calf, fattened and gleaming, whose sacred body shines.

Once, in the dark of the world, I caught one of the First Born under my claws. Before I could devour them, they asked to see a demonstration of my power. I destroyed a mountain. They were impressed, and asked to see me transform. I became a tower of flame and ice. They were impressed. They told me I was magnificent– which is very true– but said that since I was so grand, I could never hope to fit into a shape as delicate or intricate as the smallest of creatures.
Of course, I had to prove them wrong, so I transformed myself into a lovely golden scarab beetle– which they grabbed and threw into a flooding river.
By the time I returned to my natural shape I was a mile downstream. The First Born escaped into the woods, and I never saw them again.

A fine little smith you are, but you might be better! In this I have stored the secrets of many crafts, and all you must do is unpuzzle them. It has chambers within chambers… one might spend eternity fishing them out.
gildorsonofinglor reblogged your post QUESTION: and added:
Maybe a private podcast? One that only that tier and above would be able to access. You could talk about how you got into art or just how things are going with you, if you feel comfortable doing that :3
That’s not a bad idea!
It would mean that you had to listen to my voice though, which has the potential to deliver lethal amounts of second-hand embarrassment…. :U
BUT! Maybe like a live Q/A session? Would that be interesting to people?
For Melkor: the tips of your ears, your pointy bits, and… your buttocks?
N-no fair! You’ve already seen the answers! But don’t stop, keep guessing…
-hesitantly kisses Melkor’s cheek- Happy Yule… Again.
Ah, yes! Today is a special day. One year of faithful service as my jester! I think it’s time we gave you a holiday bonus, don’t you?
What would you like, my pet?
May I ask freely, my lord?
You may indeed.
I… I would love to be granted another night with you.
A second night with your master? What a greedy elf. *baps nose*
Come close to my ear and tell me what you would do, if granted such an honor. What would your… strategy be? I want all the details.
