Oh nooooooo I didn't realize it was your birthday 😭🙏

💕✨💫HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR, COOL, SMART, TALENTED, LIKE-MINDED AWESOME FRIEND💫✨💕

May the shadow of Mordor ever shine, uhm, fall on you! 🖤🖤🖤

Aaayyyyyyooooo! Many thanks for helping extend my birthday week!

For you I have drawn perhaps the softest angbang ever, in remembrance of the piece that first brought us together to be insane about the dark lords ❤️

[winds-of-zephyr416]

We all know the answers to these but still:

11) and 17) for the angbang otp game? 😉

Oh god... I will still make it a long answer lol >:)

11 - What are their representative colors?

Red/orange for Mairon, Black/blue for Melkor. Those are the colors I use when I sketch them anyway xD Although I will say, Melkor is very iridescent rainbow to me. He's the glint off of ice crystals and the sheen of slick oil. You know how if you look at a black cat in just the right light, their fur will have a faint rainbow shine? That's Melkor. Mairon's color scheme is much less complicated. Blood, ash, fire, gold. Maybe a little soot and enamel in there too.

17 - How far would they go for each other?

To the ends of the earth. To the Void. Quite literally. They're the Dark Lords of Arda, each other's ride-or-die. I have a hard time thinking that Melkor didn't freak out when Mairon went missing after the Huan Incident, even if he knew that the most likely Mairon action after that would be to go hide and lick his wounds in solitude. That's his Lieutenant. That's his other half. He can't just not know if he's okay and be fine with that. My version of Melkor would fucking annihilate the entirety of Arda down to its shredded notes if anything happened to Mairon. Or if Mairon needed it. I already do have the idea that Melkor's original plan was to completely destroy, and Mairon's was just to reshape, and they kind of found a certain middle-ground (through a lot of emotional ouch :) in wearing Arda down to the bone and then causing its rebirth. So with this, Melkor would be willing to change his entire plan, just because of Mairon :3 It takes a lot of power to pull oneself out of a self-destructive spiral, after all, and that power has to come from both outside and within, not just one or the other.

Now as for Mairon, I feel like it's pretty obvious, aka literally in the books. He changed the course of his entire life, won victory after victory, suffered defeat after defeat, all for Melkor. He strove for Melkor's victory until the very end. I don't even have to ramble about this you can literally just read the Silmarillion!!! Gah!!! STUPID GAY IDIOTS I LOVE THEM.

But of course I'm gonna ramble anyway lol. Mairon feels protective of his Vala, he feels like it's part of his responsibility to keep him safe. Mairon wants to watch everything that has ever hurt Melkor crash and burn, and he wants to be the one who caused it. He is wrathful, he is destructive, he is cunning, he adores so, so strongly. But I think maybe that evil and loyalty comes too easily to him for this to be a fleshed-out answer, what is the hardest thing Mairon could ever do for Melkor's sake? How can I make this awful idiot suffer? Leave him. I think it's leave him behind. Not short excursions or holding fortresses, when he still has a constant rapport through their messengers. Be without contact, for ages, without hope that he will ever return. The hardest thing Mairon ever did for Melkor was returning to power in Middle-Earth, continuing their plans, without a single glimmer of him for centuries. I deeply enjoy the concept that Mairon lost hope, that Melkor told Mairon that he would come back, truly believed that he would find a way back, before he was locked in the Void. And then he just didn't. For years that turned into decades that turned into ages, until Mairon must have decided that that was it, forever. Melkor had been killed or abandoned him or forgot him, and the Valar weren't going to do anything about him anyway, and the only thing left to do was take his place. And it was grief, and it was last shreds of his hope that he could make Melkor return, that sent him on a death spiral throughout the second and third ages.

All of that was for Melkor. And it failed. After all of that I HAVE to have them reunite in the Void, any more separation for these two would just be cruel. :')

I would like to inquire about "Blue Moon" and "Settled Shape" 🖤💕🖤

Eyyyyyy, you're not going to like me for these, i'm sorry!

Blue Moon is my rarepair pinning fic of Draugluin x Tilion because a wolf being in love with the moon was just too good to resist.

Settled Shape is angbang.... but uhh.... you know that dream i told you i had where Melkor had... a different.... body and a breeding kink? welll.........

>////< 🎄 Here comes my silm stocking request 😳 thank you so much, my lovely, lovely friend, for offering this to me since I missed the secret silm stocking prompts 🙏

Here are several prompts and you can choose whichever you feel like fulfilling 🙏

I love depictions of Melkor and Mairon tightly embracing each other while kissing... especially in a field of destruction, strewn bodies around them etc 😏 they're evil, murderous, ruinous bastards and I like them being evil and murderous and ruinous x3

I'm a sucker for a devoted Melkor and handkisses... maybe Mairon taking a bath (naked and/or bejewelled and gold-entangled) and Melkor kneeling beside him, kissing the palm of his hand or the inside of his wrist or something like that? 🥺

Melkor and Mairon angbanging very much under the protective fold of wings of Angalagon the Black or any other dragon?

I realize these sound pretty laborious... >///< if you don't feel like any of them or they'd be too much work I'd also be extremely happy about any scene from one of my fanfictions 😳

Thank you so so so very much for offering this to me 😭 you're a truly beautiful person and wonderful friend! 🖤🙏💗

PS. You know I like my Mairon with long, luxurious red and gold hair and extremely beautiful and my Melkor with long black hair (with a tinge of midnight blue perhaps?), especially with one flame-colored and one ice-colored hair x///x and I prefer suggestive stuff over very explicit stuff 'cause I'm a sucker for subtlety (not that I would despise nsfw stuff, hehe 👀) but I love all your paintings and drawings so doodle/draw/paint whatever pleases YOU!

🌟🎄🌟 Thank you so much, my wonderful friend!!! 🌟🎄🌟

I’m going to answer this publicly cause maaaaaaybe some writers or other artists will help me fill your stocking 😉

Also I love all of these so now I have to CHOOSE why

I shall do as I am with the others and schedule an AO3 post 🎄

[saintstars]

1 and 3 and 4 for the fic ask game if you feel like playing, my dear friend 🖤✨

You can find it here: https://www.tumblr.com/rowenaluvr/780371414692872192?source=share

Oh helloooo

Sure!

1. if you could sit down and finish any one of your wips without anything stopping you, which fic would you choose?

She Knew Rage, the Arwen x Eowyn longfic corruption of them both arc where Arwen and the witchking both fight at Helm’s deep and Eowyn is cursed by Sauron for slaying him. Because of all my many wips this one has a specific block where because I wrote a lot for it and then deleted it all I’m finding it so hard to return to despite the whole story living so vividly in my mind. So if nothing could stop me I’d want to finish that one and do it justice. I even have the perfect ending that’s all ominous and uncertain for the 4th age: “There must always be a dark Lord in middle earth” vibes

3. what's something you like about your writing?

Hard question. There’s so much that pisses me off about it. I suppose I quite enjoy writing long strings of emotions:

“it made her feel feral and raw and furious and oddly weightless, as if there could be no consequence to any of her actions”

I enjoy writing those and reading it back because I think it captures an overwhelmingness of feeling that I often find hard to articulate in my own life.

4. is there an au or trope that you haven't written before, but would want to try?

I would like to finish the aus I’ve started lmao. I don’t often glom to particular tropes or aus but once I’ve come up with internal logic (or sheer fuck it we ball jokes) I get very attached to seeing things through as thoroughly as possible and then they get too big for my limited focus.

Basically nothing is off limits but there’s also nothing I’m aching to pursue

Thanks for asking and getting me into this game @perlen-gold you’re the best ❤️❤️❤️
