How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Melkor

Hi I'm Wesley, and welcome to Dark Lord Hell. Among other things, this is an Ask Blog and roleplay blog! I play as both Sauron and Melkor, because I'm an adult and this is my blog and I do what I want. I've been running this mess since 2013, so there is a substantial backlog of headcanons and meta for those who are interested! HOUSE RULES: 1) The first rule of Fight Club is we do not talk about Blond Twink Mairon 2) The second rule of Fight Club is we do not talk about Blond Twink Mairon 3) Fair means 'hot' not 'white'. 4) My muse calls himself Sauron or Thû, NOT Mairon (except when he is working for Aulë). 5) Dwarves are not angry Scotsmen, they are badass Jewish engineers and Tolkien said so. COME. AT. ME. 6) Don't assume I hate any characters in the Silmarillion because I do not hate any characters in the Silmarillion. Thank you. -Roleplay Guidelines -Meet the Muse/Mun -Major Wesley!Verse Headcanons My in-character posts are tagged #In Character: Sauron/Melkor My tag for OoC posts is #Out of Cacophonies.

mae's followers are his Loyal Subjects / Political Supporters. celegorm's followers are his weird vaguely cultish Cruel Servants. maglor's followers are his crazed-megafandom-turned-heavy cavalry.

alright so Pangur got her claw stuck while rolling over in bed, and then just GAVE UP, which led to her being horizontally flattened in a way that gives her impossible girth and...... I'll share, but just know that it's an optical illusion. please. I swear to god she's a healthy weight. I mean, a little chubby, but not like this.

Can you imagine being Gandalf? Getting shit from other wizards because you have a thing for hobbits and you're just like, okay. Okay, maybe I'll temper my fascination with hobbits.

This Ring quest will have two hobbits. Maximum.

Then they all get to Rivendell and have somehow multiplied into four hobbits. And it's like. Okay. Maybe the others are right.

Maybe this is too many hobbits.

We have as many hobbits as we have not-hobbits.

But damn it, you just don't want to get rid of any of these hobbits. Screw it! Everyone can deal. Four hobbits. This is a four hobbits problem.

So away you go.

And things go bad in the worst possible way.

Over and over.

You've lost your hobbits. You've lost yourself. The fellowship has been separated.

It takes everything in your power to help the humans defend themselves, bringing them together to save Rohan. Finally, as things begin to look upright, you're ready to face the war with everything the Rohirrim have left.

You're ready to face him. This may be the hardest battle you've ever fought. But you ride.

Then you get there and two of your fucking hobbits are sitting there like "Yeah, while you were gone, we raised a tree army and beat Saruman's ass. Wanna help us loot his tower?"

....

There were not, in fact, too many hobbits.

This was a four hobbits problem.

[elodieunderglass]

A wizard neither underestimates nor overestimates the number of hobbits needed for an equation. He, er, always has precisely as many as he needs to.

[comfect]

Smaug is a one-hobbit problem

Saruman a two-hobbit problem

Sauron a four-hobbit problem

I propose that, had hobbits existed at the time, this implies Morgoth would have been an eight-hobbit problem.

I'm so delighted to see people finding this blog in 2026! It's both nostalgic and terrifying to see work that I did ten-odd years ago turn up in my notes again.

(oh my god this blog is thirteen years old)

(this blog is in middleschool)

(A chill is in the air, I must... I must retire to my rooms)

If you're new to the Misbehavingmaiar experience, please, be gentle. X'D there are plenty of things in the depths here that I no longer vouch for, that came from a very different time when I was a very different person. But, also, it's a joy to have any of it rediscovered at all! If you find yourself with questions, I am, somehow, still at the wheel of this blog and can answer them to the best of my ability. <3

Remember as always-- no project is ever dead, only reduced to a shadow, waiting and growing in power.

Seven sons of Feanor and the process of drawing them

+

First I drew them all with the same body and same pose, then started changing it in a way it fit more or less their personalities; they all kidna go in pairs except Caranthir. My beloved goth is always a lone wolf.

look at all the many ways I changed Maglor! he decided to be problematic.

I made the initial lineart first, then added the hair colors cause that was important to me.

Drawing the clothes was fun, my favourite was Celegorm's shoulder armor

Maedhros, the dutiful son

I was going to give him very short hair, something he could style with a single hand, but nah, long curly hair

Nogrod was one of two Dwarven cities in the Ered Luin, the other being Belegost, that prospered during the First Age. Nogrod lay near Mount Dolmed. It was home to the Dwarves of Nogrod. And it was also the home to the great Dwarven smiths Gamil Zirak and Telchar...

I made something :')

Hi! I absolutely adore your designs and would like to ask you to share with us your vision of Erendis or Ancalime or Tar-Miriel. These Numenor ladies deserve much more attention 😢🙏

Thank you very much!! I agree, the Númenorean ladies deserve more love! I decided to do Tar-Miriel.

Here I explain in detail my ideas for Númenorean dress, but basically The clothing is mostly Roman inspired, while the jewelry and hair are mostly Ancient Egyptian inspired. I had this idea that the royal house especially would favour very sea-related colours, so basically teal and blue.

LISTEN-

Carin Backlund's Uruk Hai made me feel all type of ways SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING

Not my gifs, hers, here's the artstation page:

Uruk-Hai from The Lord of the Rings in Unreal Engine 4, Carin Backlund

For this project my goal was to create an Uruk-Hai to explore the realm of Gondor. He needed to feel like a part of the world and affected b

[misbehavingmaiar]

respectfully, your sauron could murder me in cold blood and i would thank him for it

Oh, no need for that! Plenty of uses for cold blood around here, I'd hate to waste yours on murder.

[misbehavingmaiar]

Have you heard of Joel Frederiksen? If not, I recommend him! I also wish you to know that he sounds EXACTLY like your Sauron to me. I hear him and I'm like, "iunno why Sauron is singing Scarborough Fair but he sounds damn good doing it." I forget if I ever told you this, so I am doing it again!

OH.

LISTEN. HEY. Uh.

This is how I know it's been too long since I posted here. ...Some things that should not have been forgotten... were lost...

I suspect this has been lingering in your subconscious because I have poisoned your brain irrevocably somewhere in the depths of time.

Not only has Joel Frederiksen been Wesley!Sauron's singing voice for ohgodohfuck more than a decade, I have exchanged words with the gentleman on exactly one (1) memorable occasion!

Remember kids, sometimes people read what you say on the internet and when comment something like "haha what if I were a pigeon living in your house would that be cool or what" sometimes your favorite bass singer will show up and agree with you.
