Sauron Mairon Halbrand y Alicent

I always make the joke that Sauron is Aule's daddy's boy and keep it canon. So I have an idea:

AU Where Sauron in human form ends up in Westeros and sees Yvanna. She is Yvanna, she is the wife of dad / Aule. She is mom. And mom is crying. And yes, I'm adding to the theory that Melkor's giant spider is from Lovecrath's universe, so crossovers are possible!

Sauron can't help. Here he is nobody and he has not recovered his powers. He is sickened by the mess, by the Targaryen traditions of marrying each other. Sauron notices that Mama is biting her nails. Mom should be happy and have trees. And mom should pay attention to it and be happy with those creepy trees with faces.

Alicent does not understand who gives her personalized jewelry with the theme of Mother and Maiden. She knows Sauron. "Hello my lady"

Sauron disguises himself as a cat to attend Alicent and Viserys' meetings. He is against Otto's plan, mom is fifteen years old. Fifteen fucking human years.

This can go two ways:

Sauron kills all the dragons because Alicent made a comment that while Syrax is beautiful she would never ride a dragon. Mom is afraid, now I have to protect her, be the man of the house because mom can't be married to another man who isn't dad.

Daemon boasts that he took Alicent's virginity and is killed by Sauron. Mom is from dad.

Sauron manages to find the equivalent of Aule in this world and cheats on the parents.

Alicent is very sure she is ready to have children after stopping Sauron from conquering Middle-earth.

Sauron takes the form of a child. More shenanigans to come, now he has everything he wants, for now.

Alicent and any poor man who is Aule in this universe, congratulations. Their son is a narcissistic sociopath who loves them with all his heart.

In another line, Alicent marries Viserys, but Mairon has not regained his power, so he cannot prevent his mother from being raped.

Sauron discovers that his siblings are nuisances, but they will give Mom more power. Mom is a goddess, a Valar, but also a 15-year-old girl.

So Sauron takes over Aegon, comforts Mum, tells Aegon he's a little shit worse than Curumo and Aegon's first word is shit.

Helena is born. And here she is different. Sauron hated Curumo for stealing Daddy's attention, but he respected Melian. He now has another sister, who is also a woman in a world of shit. But Heleana has magical potential, so he will teach her well. He will teach her to lie, to deceive, to put on makeup.

All of this happens while Sauron takes the form of a little boy so he can stay with the queen alone. Alicent hugs him and hugs from mom feel good. On one hand, Alicent recognizes that Mairon/Sauron has a connection. She loves him, she is his mother in all the universes. But her son is evil and she knows it. But he hasn't proven to be more evil than the other men.

Aemond is born and Sauron throws a tantrum. He doesn't want another brother and hates him as much as he hates Aegon for hogging Mom's attention. Then Daeron is born and Sauron screams because there is so much evil in the world! Criston Cole is horrible, but he makes mom happy. As long as he isn't platonic, Sauron will keep it. Suddenly, Sauron can shapeshift into a dragon. Since he hates Rhaenyra's bastards he plans to play a little prank at Laena's funeral. Nothing to go wrong. He just needs Aemond's help. Aemond claims a dragon and that dragon leads everyone to see Rhaenyra doing it with his uncle.

And shit breaks loose. Aemond is happy to have a dragon, the Velarions are angry, and Laenor calls for a duel against Daemon for his sister's honor.

Laenor wins and kills Daemon. Rhaenyra will go on trial for being an adulteress and Harwin will be her champion. Then Criston Cole kicks Harwin's ass. Heleana uses her magic to make Rhaenyra admit the truth about her bastards. Alicent rebukes Sauron because now there is a political mess and because his brother thought he had a dragon. "It was just a joke, mom, I didn't know it would go this far," she says with puppy dog eyes.

Zeus sees a real DILF: Aule. He sneaks up, those muscular arms, that red hair…those buttocks. Sauron and Saruman set fire to Zeus and say: Get away from our dad, you weirdo!

Zeus manages to fuck people from other mythologies.

Aulë, Mairon and Curumo

because i wanted to draw a 'family' portrait of them :)

[chechula]

Aulë/Mahal, Seven Fathers of the Dwarves and Eru Ilúvatar blessing ♥ ♥ re-draw of my old piece, one of few that I really like (I wanted to make it into print but I couldn't find the original x_x) (it is part of my experimental valar series :D )

[shurikthereject]

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing dear, I just love being able to see your face up so close."

Genuinely don't know what possessed me to draw this but i really did miss digital art lmao. I wanted to test out my design for Aule with fire hair, sort of a symbolism of a forge since he's the valar of craftsmanship. I just started reading the Silmarilion so all of the mistakes to the canon are mine!

I will also post the timelapse to this piece!

Valar pt 1

Finally finished the 1st part!

Ulmo is usually big. Like really big. And flowers on Yavanna's dress and hair are something similar to cherry and apricot blossom.

As someone who has been hurt and traumatized a lot by toxic masculinity in real life, I cannot express how much the men in Tolkien's legendarium mean to me (there are many examples I could cite, but I'm going to stick to a few that mean the most to me personally and also don't get talked about as much).

I love how Manwë's first reaction is never anger. He is the Elder King, King of the Valar, King of Arda and he's not afraid to cry in public, to be worried and saddened and therefore show "weakness" instead of fluffing up big time and being angry just so he can pretend to be The Man. He's compassionate and believes in the good in people even when he shouldn't.

I love how Ulmo decided to help those he cared about, even if the people in question were not perfect to say the least and officially he was not supposed to be helping at all. He is neither afraid nor ashamed to care.

I love how excited Aulë was for the arrival of the Children (so much so that he made his own), how much joy he finds in teaching and being creative with others instead of wanting to be The Best At Everything and how he speaks up for other creatives too, trying to help others understand their mindset.

I love how polite and warm Eönwë is, giving a rather cordial greeting to someone who was technically trespassing in his home. He's a hero to me not because a line was included that he's the best warrior Maia, but because he's kind and wise, sparing Maedhros and Maglor because he knew the senseless violence had to end. And yes, I also love how old lore Fionwë was crushing on Arien/Urwendi.

So yeah, just some examples, but these are among the ones that stuck with me.

happy some-number-of-days-till-halloween!

This year's halloween costume party features Aule for the group costume theme (he is also invited).

feanor's fire effect is achieved through slightly-glowy tiny gems sewed onto a bodysuit with actual stone chunks attached. the mini-Lamps are glass lanterns containing one silmaril each and carried on a really long fishing line by the ambarussa. feanor made a mini-angainor (complete with sock monkey melkor) just for the costume.

celegorm's orome costume is a slightly upgraded version of his costume from last year's party (x)

mahtan and nerdanel (as mairon) are the only ones who didn't have to get a wig/fake beard.

curufin spent more time helping feanor with the mini-Lamps and mini-Angainor than working on his own costume. also celebrimbaby is a dwarf because why would you *not* go as aule and a dwarf when you have a small toddler.

Something about Bilbo and Thorin’s love that gets me is…it just wasn’t supposed to happen. Dwarves weren’t supposed to exist. Hobbits are relatives of Men; they were always part of Ilúvatar’s plan and were among his children. But Aulë secretly created the Dwarves when he wasn’t supposed to, and Ilúvatar gave them life knowing they would always be different from his own children and those races may never get along. This is why I disagree with the common notion that Bilbo and Thorin were “soulmates”; in a world governed by fate, the connection between them - these two polar opposites, children of two different entities - just…happened. By accident.

Yo I've got another for my by now mixed Tolkien survey series:

(yes, I over-simplified stuff, and had to exclude Tulkas, Melkor & Mandos for lack of answer-options, just comment if you'd have picked them)

Aulë & Yvanna Valar To build a home

[lledron]

Sauron really tried, because it was either this or spending time bonding with Curumo. Oh, for Eru. Didn't they understand that the problem was not him, but Curumo, Feonor, elves and dwarves who had the attention of the Aule from him? When the psychiatrist diagnosed her with Stockholm Syndrome, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and on top of that, anxious attachment, Yvanna suggested therapy. She also got him a beautiful wolf pup. The maia bottle-fed the cub while Aule led it through the halls. They arrived at room 202 "Parents and children". Aule sat next to him in some chairs that formed a circle. Inside it, was a psychologist. Soon, the place was packed, a man with an eyepatch with three children (one of them very similar to Galadriel), and a young man with another man with six wings. "Well, we have God and Lucifer. They say they need no introduction. Odin, the God of Thunder and his sons. Aule, Valar de la Herreria and Mairon, his maia" A bearded and muscular man spoke: "I am Zeus and I am addicted to sex." Shit, shit, the guy was looking at them, more specifically, Aule's lap. Anger welled up within Sauron, calm but fledgling. "Then what are you doing here, little whore? I assure you that Aule is a married man?" "Oh, I don't care about that, love, I can share them" "Shut up, you sick fuck, that's my son!" Aule yelled. Sauron pressed against his seat. Aule never got angry like that. Finally, the psychologist proposed that everyone take a break.

“Alright everyone, welcome to the Recovery Center, and today we’ll start off with a wonderful new day! But first, we’ve got someone new here! Would you mind introducing yourself?”

A bearded man hesitantly and shyly rises up from his chair.

“Hm, hello. My name is Zeus, and I’m a sex addict.”

Assuming the Valar were real and legit

..I can't write polls properly: "Manwe and Varda" means "Manwe or Varda", sorry.

[earthshine-moon]

The Valar watching the Valandil and Kemen fight scene but it’s that episode from BBC Ghosts when they’re watching Friends

Imagine it with me (because I can’t draw. I wish I could solely so I can do this)

They’re all huddled on the sofa except for Nienna and Tulkas

Nienna is Robin staring pensively out of the window

Tulkas is in the background with his fists in the air shouting in support of Valandil
