One day I need to write a thing where Melkor finds Rumil's description of the Valar (the one later incorporated as the Valequenta chapter) and reads that "from the start, Eru loved Manwe more than Melkor" and this (along with Finwe's bad parenting drama) is the cause of his relapse.

#ironically Rumil wow it as a mix of gossip from the Maiar which ultimately originated from Melkor himself #and from his insecure indirect ways of fishing for validation #plus Rumil's anti-Feanor sentiments #the analogy is obvious to everyone #except Melkor and Feanor themselves #who have the emotional intelligence of a bucket of gasoline #(yes i am aware nothing if that is canon and canon days otherwise)#also why is it so strange and inevitable concept that you can love all of your kids “the mostx #it's not a zero sum game #(angry parent noises)#random #silm #(yes canonically he didn't even try to do better after the 300 v years)#(canon can go hang it's head on a wall)#i hope rumil never had kids #for sake of those kids #what's with the “which kids is loved more” bs???#smh #I'm in holiday not going to write a coherent essay explaining how this all makes sense #you just have to trust me
