Would you agree to write something with Tilion ? Something like a character or reader meeting with him during one night. It can be anything, just some Tilion exposure.
Thanks in advance !
(Author's note: Well, I wrote another falling in love analysis with Tilion)
Warnings: Melkor being a warning himself, mentions of being corrupted, mentions of the kinslaying, angst, your mortality as a human, but Tilion being a pretty sweet lover.
- Tilion gives me the impression that he would be curious, a free-spirited, but a caring and affectionate type of lover. Tilion holds great love for those he cares about but can sometimes be reckless about it.
- Guarding and guiding the moon could occasionally bring him loneliness, so he might make stops in the sky and visit the lands below. Due to his former nature as one of Orome's hunters, he might seek curiosities or company of large crowds in leisurely places like the taverns or hunter's parties. He might also get to mischief if he feels bored, especially toward the creatures of the dark.
- He might appreciate someone kind, yet curious. He might also hold great respect for someone brave and willing to do the right thing despite the odds as the light of the moon lights the night sky but does not keep away the dark creatures like the sun, forcing him to defend it on his own.
- Because of Morgoth, he doesn't appreciate someone cruel and who would willingly take advantage of others. He would withhold the moonlight from them if he saw them trying to exploit it, letting them be unguided in darkness.
- He also gives the impression that he would accept you regardless of your race.
- If you were a maiar, the chances are that you have known each other before he became the guardian of the moon.
- If you served under the same valar, Orome, you would often wander and hunt together. You might share the same appreciation for the silver tree and would not mind Tilion’s adventurous nature.
- If you served a different valar, Tilion would often come to visit you and encourage you to go on adventures together. He would respect your boundaries if you preferred to stay near your valar’s domain and bring you interesting things he found on his travels.
- When he became the moon’s guardian, you would rarely see each other. The distance would sadden you, but whenever it was time for the moon to rest, you would see each other again and Tilion would share news about the world, especially if you did not leave Valinor.
- However, if you travel outside of Valinor, Tilion would look out for you during the night especially if you fight Morgoth and his darkness. You would sing to each other as a way to communicate and appreciate the moments together whenever Tilion decides to come down. This would give birth to many stories of you and Tilion wherever you happened to be seen together by the children of Eru.
- If you were tempted by Morgoth and joined him, Tilion would feel saddened and betrayed. He would have a hard time accepting your reason to join Morgoth and grow even more resentful toward the fallen valar. He would sometimes search for you on the land, and if you did not repent and stayed in the dark, he would mourn for your fate and eventually leave you out of his mind.
- However, if he saw how you wished to repent and sought to return to the light, he would feel happy and help you if Morgoth tried to prevent you. He would also ask the Valars to give you a chance and stay by you whatever your punishment might be.
- If you were an elf, he would find you curious. He might have some knowledge of how the courting among elves worked, taken he had interacted with the elves of Orome’s hunting parties, so he would not hesitate to approach you.
- He might not even notice the feelings he would catch for you, but when he does, he would first seek and learn appropriate ways before confessing. He might get excited and become eager to achieve when he sets his eyes on something, but he still respects boundaries and does not want to come out that he might scare you away.
- It would not matter to him which elven clan you belonged to as he valued personality over such things.
- If you were a Noldor, he would be curious to learn from you as your people were known to be great craftsmen and passionate. During the darkening, his affection for you would shake if you followed Feanor and participated in kinslaying, he would be sad by the event and it would take a long time for him to even look at you again. If you did not join the kinslaying but followed your people out of loyalty, he would respect it and feel sad because you would also suffer the doom of Mandos. During your time in Middle Earth, he would look down and subtly look out for you when things get rough.
- if you were a Teleri, he would find thrill and joy in your people's outgoing nature and love for sea travel. He might even join you if you were especially adventurous when it comes to the ocean. During the darkening and kinslaying, he would be there to comfort and protect you and your family. If you survived, and have been left heavily traumatized, Tilion might not know how to comfort you through your grief but he would try. He would even hesitate to become the moon's guardian which meant leaving you in your hardest time, so he would always come to you whenever he could. If you died during the attack, he would grieve and feel resentment toward the Noldor.
- If you were a Vanyar, he would find you interesting as you would most likely remind him of the golden tree Laurelin and his beloved friend Arien. However, he would adore you regardless and you might bring out the mischievousness of him.
- If you were a Sindar, Tilion would find you curious as he would have less knowledge about your people. He would find beauty in your home and respect your determined yet loving nature, especially if you shared your love for him and the stars.
- If you were human, he would find your race incredibly curious. You might have crossed paths when he was down and did something that piqued his interest. Humans are much more different from elves, so he would be both amazed and excited to learn more. If you shared a love for the stars and found comfort in the moon, he would be even more delighted.
- He would be saddened to realize that you would not live as long as he does and would eventually leave the world behind, but he would accept it. All living beings have their own life cycles, and death is a natural part of yours. He would cherish the time he still had with you and would not allow any of it to be wasted until it was your time to travel to the unknown.
- Or perhaps, in some twist of fate, you become immortal for him, giving away your gift of dying. Tilion would feel joy to have you by his side, but would treat you gently as immortality was not something that came naturally for humans and that it was not a choice anyone should make out of a whim. However, if you assured him that you were certain of your choice and that you wished to stay with him, then he would cherish you for eternity.
- Tilion also gives the impression that he and Arien share a great friendship. Perhaps during moments when they are both in the sky or during an eclipse, he would speak fondly of you, and Arien would be happy for him. She might even keep an eye out for you during the day and share the news with Tilion if something happens.
-But not matter the scenario. Tilion would be a loyal and affectionate lover. Like a loving touch of moonlight and a comforting presence as you can always trust the moon to show you light in the darkest nights.
