Mother's day doodle ??? Me with my special turnip baby I stole.

[kisses-in-the-void]

I keep thinking about Mairon shapeshifting into a small dragon and wrapping himself around Melkor like a long, hot snake, either because he feels particularly possessive of his Vala, or because he wants to warm him (or both...). Melkor has no objections, even if sometimes his husband squeezes him a bit too tightly.

Eventually, baby Glaurung starts doing the same with both of his fathers.

And then there’s Mairon teaching the young, winged dragonlings how to fly, how to control their fire-breathing, and how to regulate the scale of the destruction they cause.

He also takes them to the forge and uses dragonfire in his work, creating endlessly beautiful and durable things (both weapons and jewelry). The jewelry he always gives to the dragons, because what kind of father wouldn’t want to spoil his children? Especially when those sly serpents learn to make literal puppy eyes at him.

They were probably the only creatures in all of Arda capable of manipulating Mairon. Melkor thinks it’s absolutely hilarious, and very adorable.

If I surrounded Melkor with all the angbabies tumblr finally so graciously gave him, he'd probably go "HELL YEAH!", steal them all, kick me out of the fortress and gloat at Eru that he won after all.

Mairon would just be... concerned about when and how they all happened.

Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love  I'm gonna give you all of my love  Nobody matters like you

It's been a rough ass year, but I saw some other artists doing this, and I thought, hey, why not. So: a collage of one drawing on this blog from each month.

If Melkor and Mairon were to create offspring, that entity would be a magnificent, reality defying eldritch abomination that burps the flame imperishable every time it has accreted too much nourishment.

Or she would be a bratty dark princess with her own agenda and grows up to build her own world that has even Melkor scratching his head in disbelief, while Mairon keeps on enabling her.
