hi Balls! Prayers ask: i think that you mentioned that Comrade Maedhros is sitting too comfortably on the fact that he's in a 30 (?) years long marriage with Fingon and so never had the opportunity to get jealous and you wanted to change it... I know that you cut out an argument between Maedhros and Fingon on this theme prob for Word count reason, but do you still plan to make the Comrade jealous in some occasion?
I DO INDEED! I cut that bit out because I wrote it before I decided that Finnu being the only person in the cliff house who disapproved of Elwing (because she brought the dachshund into his life as if Maedhros stopping to play with literally every child he comes across isn’t inconvenient enough for him) was much funnier 😭
Truly the one thing I regret about making Prayers!Russingon into an old fake married couple is the fact that the Comrade would be like. Top tier divorced. Idk how to explain it but like. Imagine this post. That’s the only way I can describe it. The gold medal for being Divorced. Especially because Prayers!Fingon is so sneaky he probably would get the cliff-house in their fake divorce even though he doesn’t want it and doesn’t even like it that much.
The problem is however, the Comrade is a little 🤏 dumdum 🤏 with certain things. Yes he’s read every book to exist etc etc, but he’s also an uncle™️ and a jock™️. He also has an enormous ego in general, and even though he doesn’t like comments on his appearance he knows full well that he’s hot shit. So in most situations he just wouldn’t clock anything enough to make him jealous. Finnu could probably wax poetic about how the new geography teacher at the convent he teaches at is hot as hell and the Comrade would just not even process it because yeah but I’m definitely better looking so idc.
This ego is exactly why it would be very funny if he DOES ever get jealous though. I just can’t find a perfect situation for it is the problem. I feel like a compliment towards Maglor would probably do it. Just because Indian oldest-son Comrade would genuinely be offended by the insinuation that one of his younger brothers is better than him at anything. And he’s socially conservative enough to be extra offended and probably would bring up Maglor’s sexual promiscuity in his response. Like so:
Finnu: oh maglor you look so nice in that shirt. the colour really suits your eyes.
Comrade: NICE? you dare say maglor looks NICE? sorry. sorry i’m UGLY. you think maglor’s eyes, which land upon every second arse in meenchandha fish market look nice? his WHORE EYES? sorry i forgot you are now colour blind to your russo’s SEA GREEN eyes. you dare say i am ugly? sorry i disgust you. guess i’ll go kill myself.
