right at the beginning of the Silmarillion (literally on chapter one) at some point it says that on everything that was made on Eä over the first days, Aulë had a part, and what makes me deeply insane about that is the same fucking wording used to talk about Mairon’s involvement in Melkor’s work. I am once again unwell about Mairon being unable to escape being a Maia of Aulë, because what if the true thing that you cannot escape is you.

#mairon #sauron #tolkien #lotr #the silmarillion #originals.txt #maia of aulë commentary series #this has so many ramifications and roads it diverges into and i am unwell about all of them #1. what if what truly tipped Mairon against the Valar was this exactly. not just the lack of recognition and disagreement over how things #are done. but Aulë - MANWË'S EXECUTING ARM. THE GUY WHO HE HIMSELF AND HIS GUYS ARE DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING - brought an idea to Manwë #he said No and Aulë came back #defeated about it and told his closest Maia's that it was a no go but they should be happy they still did it and goes into his archive of #secret things. and Mairon instead of accepting how it Should Be What Was Supposed To Be *pushed* him or tried to get him to try again #because HE thought he was right about this one thing #Insane. once again i can be trusted with adapting the silmarillion into the screen because i am sooooo normal about it #2. what if being you is as much of a blessing as it is a curse. a weight. a liability. something staring back at you with too many eyes and #claws and teeth until whatever that is twists over itself causing you to twist over yourself all cracked bones in wrong positions #2.A. do you think this was what terrified him when Luthien said Melkor would hate him? that he would be reminded he was *continues to be #against his will because no matter how much he tries to grab the reigns he is back at this same spot. a room with a bright sign he cannot #break that says WELCOME. MAIA OF AULE!* a maia of aulë? whom he hated?#that he would stop being His Mairon and would become once again Mairon the Maia of Aule because if he is a great deceiver he is too his 1st #victim of his own deceive?#insane if you ask me #3. first time i read the silm i was 15 second time i was 17 so there was a lot of things i did not catch or did not interpret as i do now #and the blatant Aulë - Mairon parallels escaped me completely #at least in this way
