*I'm feeling much lighter than I have in years. My smile is soft and I feel the need to cast aside my hobby of brooding for today. My heart feels bandaged and doused with healing waters. Perhaps I'll embrace that feeling further. As my children sleep I gather some comforts and take them to a place just outside Mordor's honey farm where bees sip flowers. My hives can be seen peeking through the forest gaps*

Does, anyone care to share honey and bread with me today? *I gesture to my lovely spread across the picnic blanket*

My friend @starstruck-mortal-mari my time with you at the duck pond has inspired me. Thank you. I feel it is my time to be more social.

The Princess and the Paw-pûr

Celebrimbor Week- Day 6 (Crack)

@the-southlands

Note: @adarssuggestionbox feels it is "inappropriate" to share his imagination on his own blog and has asked me to post this here on my blog. Personally I just think he's being shy 😅 Between you and I, he has these little fantasies play out in his head constantly. He is always daydreaming about Brimby Mouse and Adar Kitty.

------------------------------

Adar's Day Dream

On most fine days such as this, Brimby Mouse had spent long hours scurrying about the delicately carved stone floors of the forge. Giant feet seemed to be sleeping or, at the very least, busy in other places as of late. So today, he could freely roam without fear of being in an unsavory situation underneath a large boot. Not that his pet giants seemed to mind his company or meant to step on him, on the contrary, he was often given divine treats and gentle finger pats each time he encountered one of them.

However, today nibbly bits were scarce due to their absence. This was good for Brimby mouse, as it gave him a chance to visit the large, scruffy black cat who lived in the garden just outside his pampered walls. One might assume that sort of company to be rather dangerous for one like Brimby. But this simply was not the case. For they were close, far too close for a mouse and a cat ought to be.

Such thoughts of his handsome kitty gave Brimby Mouse's itty bitty heart the largest thump he was sure he had ever felt. He then began to squeak to himself, "Yes, that is a darling idea indeed! I'm paw-sitive that he requires pleasant company today." 

With that, he rushed to a potted plant upon a windowsill, borrowing a dew drop from its leaves. It fit perfectly within his paws and happened to be just enough to clean the forge soot from his face. Once that business was through, he bounced to and fro searching for the gift he had squirreled away. 

He gasped happily with his little paws below him once he found it. The package was adorned with a scrap of beautiful green paper and an equally lovely thin gold ribbon. To Brimby Mouse, this parcel was quite large and bulky as it was nearly the size of his body. However, he was a very determined sort! The tiny mouse cleverly slipped his arms through the tightly tied ribbon holes, then slipped the present on his back as if it were a camping pack. Once situated, Brimby Mouse dashed across the floor and through a hole in the wall that led to the garden. 

Meanwhile, tucked away in the most shaded place in the garden, Adar Kitty paced anxiously with his gift settled securely between his teeth. Suddenly, the black kitty jumped, turning himself about with his back legs twisting as if to dance in the air! The beautiful golden ring with tiny emerald gems that he had found flew through the air. It had landed in front of the little mouse, whose squeaky presence was the cause of his silly jig.

Brimby Mouse giggled at Adar Kitty's charming air. It always puts a smile on his face. "Good morning, deary!" He squeaked, pulling the package off his back. "The giant 'smiths' as they are called, are busy today. Their forge is completely empty, so I thought I would visit you a little early! I hope that I am not too early."

Adar Kitty trîlled in embarrassment but met his pretty friend with the same greeting as always: a little head bump. Such a greeting was enough to push down the mouse's whole body. But Brimby Mouse did not mind, as always would gift Adar Kitty's forehead with the biggest hug he could manage in return. Today was no different.

A strong pûr soon rumbled in Adar Kitty's chest when he felt his beloved's tiny hug. "I'm so glad you did, because I have something for you. So, never you mind how early you are. I simply adore your company, regardless of the time of day we meet." He mewed shyly, plucking the ring from its spot in the soil. Adar kitty did his best to dust the dirt away from its gems.

Brimby Mouse gasped, nearly dropping the package in his paws. "It is paw-sitively gorgeous! You saved this for me?"

" Yes, the moment I laid eyes upon it, I thought it would look lovely sitting atop your head." A red blush graced the kitty's black, fluffy cheeks. To him, Brimby Mouse was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He revered Bimby much like a knight shows love for his princess. Such a love deserved a crown.

Brimby's honey-kissed fur glittered with pink in return. Without wasting time, he slipped the child-sized ring perfectly upon his head. Then he hopped to a puddle from the rain from the night before and gazed into it. His eyes widened, "I adore it! Thank you so very much!"

Adar Kitty was right, it did look exactly like a tiara. A soft coo rolled from his mouth. He did indeed have a tiny princess in his presence. This thought sent his heart dancing below matted raven fur.

Brimby Mouse squeaked shyly and then cuddled against one of Adar Kitty's large paws. "As it turns out, I have a gift for you, too! I think I said that already..." The mouse blushed in embarrassment, then ran to the package. He could hardly wait to joyfully place it in front of his kitty love.

Adar Kitty trîlled in surprise, as even the packaging was elegant! He carefully untied the ribbon with his teeth, allowing for the scrap of shiny paper to unfold. Placed neatly in the center of the bundle was a thin curled silver chain and a pendant with tiny violet gems. Adar Kitty looked astonished, blinking several times. "Thank you, my love! However did you manage?"

Brimby felt a sense of pride in his handiwork, since this was the exact reaction he was hoping for. " I made this at home special, just for you!" Brimby Mouse declared. Hours of gathering unwanted items that were kicked under work desks and toiling away in his own little forge in the walls very clearly paid off.

Adar Kitty's pûr only grew stronger when he felt himself mew repeatedly with joy. He leaned down to nuzzle the little mouse in gratitude.

Brimby Mouse giggled, squeaking in return. He hugged Adar Kitty's face pressing tiny mousey kisses against his nose, before he clipped the chain around his kitty love's neck. Then he tied the golden ribbon into a bow that rested on the chain. For the rest of the day, Adar Kitty played chase and rescue with his tiny princess while the big people were off sharing their own joys during their summer festivities.

Young Uruk Children Test One's Patience

This year juvenile summer training camp has been a trial of patience. I shall journal about this at a later date. They at least seem to be learning though, as their behavior and skill improves daily. I partially think the hardships the littlest ones have face the past year and a half is to blame for some of their habits.

Allow me to share with you a few of the most common phrases I shout more than 10 times a day.

"No one should be talking!"

"Do not lick your sister!!"

"You are too old to be pulling hair! How old are you again??"

"What do you mean you cannot put your chest plate on by yourself???"

"Put your armor back on!"

"If I have to raise my voice one more time you all are getting laps!"

" Why did you throw that?!"

"Stop hitting your sister!"

"Do not eat that!"

"You are going to bust your skull if you jump off of that!"

"My gauntlet is not a teether!"

"That is what happens when you play with your swords like toys!"

"Take a breath, the world is not ending."

"I told you to sit down!"

"There is no need for that behavior!"

"If you do that one more time you are turning around and trying it again!"

"Try it. You will not like the consequences..... That is what I thought. Stay seated."

"Stop biting your blades! You cannot pick your teeth with them!"

"Get out of that tree and pay attention when an adult is talking!"

"KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON!"

"Put that down!"

"Stop rolling across the ground."

" Do not bury your brother alive! and get out of that hole!"

"If you throw that one more time you are sitting out during free time!"

"That warg is going to bite you if you keep pulling his tail."

"Stop screaming!"

"Keep your claws, teeth and all other objects to yourself!"

"Stop whining about that."

"You do not need to tattle. Worry about your own behavior!"

"You cannot call another one out if you are doing the same thing!"

"Stay with your unit!"

"It should not take 35 minutes for you to potty!"

"Use your words."

It is true that uruk young are a lot to handle so I expect it from them in various degrees. But, this group is particularly wild. They have taken effort to tame and train. Doing so while they are young will help them grow to be strong independent adults. For now a lot of hand over hand guidance is needed. That is so very typical as well.

Anouncement

To the visitors of Mordor,

Summer training camp for the younger members of our community has come to a close. I will be more active with the public very soon. However, both Elrond and Celebrimbor have "suggested" that I take some time to recover from the chaos of summer. I intend to respect those wishes. Please rest assured that I will respond to my pile of mail and messages when I am able. I also will post regularly again soon.

Thank you,

Lord Father, Adar

A Different Sort of Confession

Celebrimbor Week- Day 4 (Relationship)

@the-southlands

Celebrimbor's POV

Celebrimbor- *When I awake, my handsome savior from the night before is not by my side. My eyes grow soft when I see him sitting on the edge of the bed. His scarred back feels all too familiar to me, causing my heart to seize.*

*I lift from my spot, kissing a brand of what looks like a hot poker. Then, I wrap my arms around him so that I may pull him to my chest.*

* With a giggle, I lay my head on his shoulder.* Good morning, gorgeous. *My voice is as gentle as my hands that caress his stomach.*

Adar- *He gasps, freezing in his spot only momentarily before settling after he hears my voice* Good Morning. *He replies bashfully, he then begins to pet my hand as if I were made of the most delicate glass.*

-Then a silence as beautiful as our window's sunbeams pours over us. This moment is something that I'm sure I will savor for years to come.-

Adar- *He sighs, suddenly hanging his head. His hair fell around his face like a curtain.*

Celebrimbor- Share your thoughts, deary. I will not judge you. * I turn his head and kiss his lips gently*

Adar- What is "this"? *His voice is remarkably somber when he turns to face me fully.* This.... *He gently traces the curve of my body, letting his hand rest upon my naked hip.* I need to know what it means.

Celebrimbor- *I hum blissfully under his touch then place my hand upon his cheek before I lean in for another kiss. His lips might be dry with cracked places, but this does not bother me one bit.* Well, *I let my thumbs massage his skin while I gather my thoughts.*

I think this means that my heart is ready to feel loved again. *I place my hand upon his scar torn skin that hides his heart.* Your hands are gentle, I hear kindness in your voice each time we meet, and I see honesty in your actions. 

*I tuck his hair gently behind each of his ears.* I would like to think that writing a fairytale with you would be like living within a dream.

Adar- *He smiles small then looks at me with eyes of stained glass* Then you ought to know that you cannot be the only one who occupies my heart. I need several types of love to keep my heart beating happily.

Resting my head between two loving souls each night is what keeps my own from falling to pieces. So, you must know that Elrond is one whom I wish to wake with among shared blankets each morning as well. *His breath is steady, but his hands shake and fidget nervously under what I can only assume as pressure*

Of course, I completely understand if that is something that you cannot deal with... I understand your anger with me for not telling you sooner... *His breath quickens only just slightly. Then he starts to lift from his spot* I shall leave immediately from your presence if-

Celebrimbor- *I place a gentle finger over his lips* I already know. Deary, there is no need to fret as I have figured that out long before this moment. If it bothered me, I would not have allowed you to see me in such a way as last night. *My cheeks darken as I recall the beautiful time we shared in the moonlight*

Adar- *Tears pick up in his eyes while he nods. He is quiet for several moments before he speaks again.* There are other things too... Things I am sure would be difficult to make sense of... Forgive me... It is a very uncanny situation to explain.

Celebrimbor- Honey, settle yourself. What on earth do you mean? *I speak in the quietest whisper next to his ear before pulling him into a gentle hug*

Adar- *He wraps his arms around me, nuzzling into my shoulder. He shakes his head, crying out harder.* I do not deserve your kindness. Not after my crimes... However, I cannot bring myself to deny it...

Celebrimbor- Darling, I know your past is darker than the path you now walk. You only-

Adar- Please... You do not understand... Let me explain. *He takes several minutes to gather himself once more.* That day that "it" escaped my grasp was not the first time I encountered your city... That was the second time.

*He is silent for a long moment.* "It" was not the only one who destroyed all that you held dear... For I had transformed your beautiful city into ashes in search of that "thing" that bound you in its grip.

Celebrimbor- *I pull back, shaking my head as a surge of confusion rips through my chest. Soon, a dramatic shock of lightning pain courses through me. My jaw soon grows slack, unsure of to navigate this conversation. What does one say after such a confession? I shake my head.* Adar, no... I saw you relieve him of his hand with my own eyes. You nearly ripped him to shreds before *I stop myself*

Elrond and I held you down as you were injured. That cannot possibly be true. You wept when you came back from blind rage. I saw it happen. I saw the truest part of you that day... Adar, I do not understand. *Tears slide down my cheek as pain attacks my chest*

Adar- *He looks at me with pain equal to my own* I died in vain the day I committed such crimes against you. That "thing" got away without so much as a scratch... and you.... *His face twists in agony with his lips trembling as he speaks again.* I can't say for sure, but I have a feeling you did not make it either...

Celebrimbor, I am sorry... You must know that I cannot keep the truth from you. If I did not speak a word of it, I would be no better than what "it" did to both you and me...I will understand if you do not want to see me again.

Celebrimbor- *I hiccup several times as I wipe my eyes* I... I didn't say that. It is difficult, yes. *Despite such despicable news, I cannot help but yearn for him. I was correct to call him honest. Such words that he spoke have my heart wrapped in love and pain. Love is often like this.*

*I shake my head, holding each of his hands.* The person I know you to be is not the rabid uruk that I had first met, who snarled on my forge floor that day he ran. Nor are you this beast, you would like me to believe, lives in you. Perhaps that shadow of your past self was all of those things. People change Adar. So have you.

Adar- * He cannot speak, he just shakes his head sobbing with his hands covering his face.* You cannot mean that... Please be sensible... *He shakes his head.* Can you not hear yourself?

Celebrimbor- *I sniffle behind my tears while I wipe away the rain that streaks his cheeks* I do. I simply need time to process it.

*I shakily kiss Adar's lips.* My answer remains the same. I only need some time to myself. I think you do as well. Please know this does not mean I will not have you.

Adar- *He calms down with slow breaths, wiping his eyes. Then nods silently as my words seem to be soaking in.*

Celebrimbor- Do what you need to self-soothe, deary. * I cuddle with him as we both come down from the tension.* We will speak again at midday if you are ready by then. I am sure I will be.

An Outsiders Guide to Non-verbal Uruk Communication

So many do not understand that there is a whole Non-verbal language practiced daily in uruk communities. It is often misinterpreted as vulgar animal like behavior or something primitively mindless. But this simply is not true. Allow me to explain the Moriondor variant.

-Pûring-

This is as you would imagine a rather soft trait. It is often associated with that of submissive men and women.

In the context of Uruk submission to a partner this communicates...

Ones safety being trusted with the more dominant partner in the relationship.

A call for the dominant partners comfort.

Mating call to a dominant partner (I'm sure you can figure out what else evokes pûring in this respect)😳😶

Indication of a submissive's gratitude towards the dominant figure of the house hold.

Or in rarer cases the submissive's love for another submissive lover.

Great happiness in a submissive uruk regardless of situation

Submissive pûring mannerisms include:

Licking the dominant

Gently nibbling the dominant

Exposing ones neck to the dominant

Nuzzling one's face against the dominant

Soft snorting, mild growling, submissive yowl and repeated whimper

Subcategory pûring

-Parental Pûring

Both dominant and submissive parents will pûr to soothe the baby/childs anguish.

Both parents pûr to indicate happiness and pride towards their young ones deeds

Some parents are soothed by parental responsibilities and see it as a break from harsher tasks of the day and will pur to show their relaxed state

Some physical affections that might be evoked by parental pûring include:

Nose to nose rubbing

Nose to forehead rubbing

Grooming the child

Head pats

Piggy backing the youngest child around

-Relaxed Pûring

This is self explanatory: Uruk will express a need for relaxation via pûring

Uruk often pûr while relaxed

Sensory therapies can evoke puring.

The need to recharge during certain parts of an uruk day are essential. Between midnight and 3am, Uruk will take time to pûr allowing their body to relax and feel rested. During this time uruk like to burrow under heavy weighted soft objects. Weighted blankets are common in uruk households. Binding can be therapeutic as well. These techniques are often combined. An over worked uruk will require weight or binding for pûring to be evoked. For some dominant types it is essential to do this to evoke puring recovery, as it can be difficult for those folk.

I was honestly confused and rather surprised that most mortals find pûrring relaxing. I genuinely thought this was purely an uruk thing. It seems humans and uruk have this in common. Perhaps others do as well?

While He Sleeps

@rivendellwatch

Elrond's POV

- After an hour of careful kisses and a lively game of chase through the forest, I have finally gotten my kitten to rest for the day. For his comfort, I have left my chest bare, as he seems to have less of an issue with terrors in his morning snooze. I had him settle in his beautiful thicket for extra comfort. His hollow tree bed is, as Adar calls it, his sanctuary.-

Elrond-*It occurs to me that perhaps uruk sleep during the day as less threatening types who enjoy the sun are awake at this hour. They are, after all, tormented creatures seeking solace, for they know what lurks in the dark places of the world.* -Such brave, resilient folk they are.-

*My thoughts are soon interrupted by the fine-laced breaths of my sweet uruk. The gentle streams that push against my skin send a zip of tingling that spreads about the area as if fresh healing waters had been popping there one drop at a time. Tears tug at my eyes as I stare down at Adar's beautiful sleeping face.*

*I can't resist the urge to stroke his cheek. Each caress is as gentle as the one before it.*

Adar- *My pet is fast asleep, snuggling closer, letting out whimpers of various sorts with each of my gentle touches. Even in his sleep, his submission is breathtakingly majestic. With his neck fully exposed while splayed over my chest, the sun beams bounce off the beautiful scars life has granted him.*

Elrond-* I place a hand over my lips, feeling my heart skip with the sound of leaves in the breeze.* You truly are one of the most beautiful men in my life... I wish you could see as I do. *My fascination with his scars begs me to allow my fingers to play with each curve and imperfection they provide.* You are as lovely as the sun, you sleep beneath my dear.

Adar- *His sleeping form shifts, letting out what sounds like a small mew of a tiger cub at rest. His even breathing chest and small mewing snores are like medicine for the eyes and candy for the heart. He then shifts, draping a leg over me to pull me closer. A low, sleepy growl rolls out of his mouth before his snoring mewing returns.*

Elrond- *I feel as if my heart will burst.* How did I ever become lucky enough to witness such a sweet moment? *My urge to protect him now grows stronger.*

* Again, I can't keep my hands to myself, as they need to pet his gorgeous raven locks*

Adar- *A warbling half-mewing-coo escaped his throat as he wiggled closer to set his head over my heart. His tongue inevitably slipped out and idly began licking the spot. Soon, he began to whimper much like a kitten in distress. Then my darling's movements shifted sharply with a face twisting closer to anguish.*

Elrond- *As usual, when I'm hyper-focused and quick to react. I hold him tightly, petting the bridge of his nose*

*In a hushed tone, I speak to him.* I have you, Darling. Chase the terror away. *I kiss the top of his head*

Adar- *A sleepy growl falls from his lips as his eyelids part when he lifts to look at me. An almost reptilian-like trîl lazily rolls out of his throat before he licks the side of my face and lies back down. However, he isn't satisfied until he snatches my hand to nibble lightly. Only then does he return to sleep with mewing snorts.*

Elrond- *I can't afford to starve off sleep any longer. But I certainly will continue to try if it means I get to witness this beautifully rare sight a moment longer. Right now, my heart feels as if it is whole.*

[adarssuggestionbox]

Opening Our Gates

Glug- Lord Father... Do you think it wise to do such a thing? *Concern and perhaps a bit of fear laced his voice*

Adar- *He places a gentle hand on his son's shoulder* I do. With a treaty under way it would be only proper to learn to be socialized with the other folk of the world. We are capable of so much more that what we were forced to believe for so long my son. Let us show others of our potential for growth *He pats the spot*

*He leans down to nuzzle his son's forehead with his nose, as is a custom of parental figures authority to do for their children in Mordor*

Glug- *He feels tension being replaced with pride* Yes Lord Father. I'll inform the others right away. *He leaves with a spring in his step*

Adar- *He turns to watch his children as they prepare for what the day might bring. A small proud smile stretches over his lips before he joins them to do his part*

*His darkened heart finally feels alive* 🖤
