queen of the valiër

[weaverofages]

[ hey guys! sorry for the silence over here. ive got a ton of school crap on my plate rn, and self confidence issues, so that's why that happened. in truth, i probably won't be around here till may, and that's optimistic, since my internship starts then. Ill have less hours, so it's possible, but you can consider this a mini hiatus. i'm also gonna go through my drafts later today/tomorrow and potentially drop a couple, just so I can be excited about being here again. thanks for being patient with me, friends! ]

@weaverofages | varda starter call.

[S]erene look overcame her normally-troubled expression; for it had disturbed her to hear the desperate pleas of the Children of Eru. The appearance of her fellow queen soothed her aching heart, Varda moving forward, arms spread wide in a welcoming gesture. “Vaire.” Her smile was radiant, small stars dotting her hair and her skin, giving the Queen of Arda an iridescent glow. “It is simply wonderful to see you during these troubled times. How are you, my fellow Queen?”

[weaverofages]

It was a smaller smile that came to Vairë’s face -- small, but her eyes focused on Varda without hiding the hesitance hidden therein. It was impossible to forget that which had surrounded them. What grief had been brought to them! Every thread of recent history was soaked in it to the core. It was bound to her, and to them all. “My dear Varda,” she replied, bowing her head in greeting. “Given current circumstances and the recent past, I am...alright, if not well. I trust you are well, however?”

       “I,  too,  place little  certainty  in things I once did,”  his brother’s  love   &&  the  connection  they shared being chained  TIGHT  away,  like Melkor,  with pain  &&  hurt.  “I fear that thy  judgement  in this matter will lead to a  path  that we cannot turn back from,  but how can we help  create  a world,  if we hold no  HOPE…”

“I fear that may well be our hardest hurdle. For we Valar in particular.” She would like to say she believed all would be well, would like to think they could continue as if nothing had changed. Perhaps she knew too much of the truth to be so hopeful. “If this is to be our lot, I would say we must be cautious, but optimistic, even if that optimism is not something I may be able to reach for myself. There can be no harm in that.”

Dagor Dagorath Verse Headcanons ->

some of my major headcanons for Vairë in the group verse hosted by goddefying.

Due to the destruction of Arda Marred, Vairë’s tapestries will begin to unravel once Melkor breaks from the Void. She is not aware this will happen; and it’s onset will result in great stress, confusion, and even fear for her. 

She will also begin to forget details, and she will only remember core people and events (ie. all the Valar, Melkor, major events of the Ages [Kinslayings, wars in Beleriand and Middle Earth, and the fundamentals that drove these things to being.]). Vairë will not remain forgetful forever, or into the next Music; once she begins to understand whats happening and stabilizes herself, more will come back to her, but she will not be the same.  (This stabilization and understanding will probably not come until the height of battle with Melkor, but that depends a lot on threads and interactions she might have that could delay or hasten any of this.)

I also imagine she will be one of the few to remember much about the original Arda once the Second Music is sung, but again, dependent on others’ headcanons. 

She is not a warrior, but will lend her strength to the fight as she can.

“Each day is a battle, never have I known rest; for rest is never an option for me. Take heart in knowing that you can never tame me. I am an unstoppable force of nature and I will rip you limb by limb, Until the only thing you know is pain. I will set roofs on fire, to fulfill my one desire, which is to be free.” Tolkien OC | Written by Esti | semi-selective | Est. Feb 2017 | DOSSIER | LAW

365 days of headcanons: DAY 3: dreams

Again, as an Ainu, Vairë does not dream as the Children do. However, she does occasionally travel to Irmo’s gardens when stressed -- going off an old friend’s now deactivated Irmo portrayal, she will also spend time with him and they talk over their respective domains and the stresses that come with it, to what extent they are able to. This often translates into vague discussion about history and how Irmo’s sent dreams might have had, a long winded discussion with few solid answers.

365 days of headcanons: DAY 2: scars

As an Ainur, Vairë lacks physical scars. However, she does deal with some emotional ones -- Melkor’s betrayal and the subsequent Kinslayings had a profound effect on her, though it was (and is, to some extent, until about the end of the Second Age) generally compartmentalized, bottled up, and ignored.

“ Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. ” [ jewel-daughter ]

[ classic lit meme | accepting! ]

“Perhaps.”

The word had sharp edges, and the look Vairë gave Míriel was fleeting. For a few drawn out moments, she offered no more response, hands running over the old tapestry that needed repair. One of the first she had woven, depicting the arrival of the Ainur into Arda. Her technique had been different, then, and it was inevitable this particular tapestry would need eventual repair. But she sighed, and turned fully to face Míriel, hands still resting on the old material, “Power in such a way is power, yes. But it is not a power any of good heart should ever aspire to.”
