Your acrylics tap a beat onto the arm of the plush white couch as you read the tweet on your phone.

" Johnny Cage spotted cozying up on set with Co-Star. Has the star finally met his match? " Your nails stop and you glance at where Johnny kneels fidgeting on the floor in front of you before looking back to the screen.

He spreads his hands. "Okay, I know this looks bad." His voice floats in the otherwise quiet mansion. "But will you please stop ignoring me?"

You look down your nose at him. "Is this enough attention for you?" You sneer and he grimaces.

"My PR team cooked this up a while ago and they've been hounding me about it for ages. It was so unimportant to me that it sorta...slipped my mind." He shrugs and your glare hardens him. " C'mon , babe, it's just a little publicity stunt our agents had us do for the movie. It doesn't mean anything." He laughs and his nonchalance about the situation is pissing you off more than you already are.

"Do I look like I'm laughing?" You fume and his brows furrow. "This isn't funny, Jonathan."

" Oof, " he winces, "government name."

You're both celebrities, you know what you signed up for when you agreed to date him after years and years of his begging and truly horrible pickup lines.

You're not mad about the situation itself, not really. You've gotten into drama before loads of times to drum up hype around a new project, but nothing like this. At least, not while you were dating Johnny.

You're mad that you had to find out about it from the trending page on Twitter along with a slew of concerned messages from your friends, family, and manager.

You scroll down and read messages concerned fans have posted, worried that you and Johnny have broken up or, worse, that he cheated on you. But you know that he knows that you know he wouldn’t dare.

"Look at this shit." You shove your phone in his face. The screen reflects off the sunglasses that sit low on the bridge of his nose and he squints as the brightness nearly blinds him. "'I hope this isn't how she finds out.' 'I'd be so embarrassed if I was her.' 'I knew Johnny wouldn't stay faithful for long.'"

He looks from you to the screen and then back to you. "...You're mad."

You stare down at him.

"You are un- fucking -believable.” You move to stand up, but he grabs ahold of your hips.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry, I'm sorry ! I didn't mean to upset you. Next time, I'll give you a heads up— I mean I'll run it by you.” Johnny corrects, pulling you closer when you try to pull away again. "What can I do to make it up to you, huh?" The muscles in his biceps flex against you as he wraps his arms around your waist. You try to stay firm, but it's pretty hard when he's pressing reverent kisses to your stomach.

You shiver from the coldness of his rings as he runs a big hand up your calf, traveling up your outer thigh to hook the hem of your dress at your hip before repeating the process up your other leg.

You want to stay mad—you are mad. This is incredibly careless and he didn't consider your feelings at all and...and you don't want him to think he can get out of trouble by kissing up to you. But, begrudgingly, you card your fingers through the short hair at the nape of his neck.

"I'm still really upset about this, Johnny." You frown.

"I know, sweetheart. And I really am sorry. But, hey! I know something that'll make us both feel better." He grins up at you and you let him lead you back to the couch with a huff, dropping down once the back of your calves brush the white upholstery.

“I’m sure you do.” You roll your eyes, spreading your legs to make room for him without thinking. “How would you ��ahh !” You yelp at the sudden pinprick of pain on the skin of your inner thigh and it morphs into a moan when the pinch is quickly followed by a warm heat. You look down in time to see the pink of Johnny’s tongue as he licks over the tender spot—tender because he bit you like a damn dog!

“I’m sorry, what were you saying? I couldn’t really hear you over all those cute little noises.” You can feel the shit-eating grin against your skin as he talks. “You’re so sensitive. Definitely not a complaint—it does amazing things to my ego.” He laughs, hooking his hands under the back of your knees and pushing your legs up until the heels of your feet are balancing precariously on the edge of the seat.

He grips your hips, pulling you further down the couch and closer to his face. He moves your legs so your feet rest on his shoulders, the white polish of your toenails reflecting the light.

He leans in and you hold your breath in anticipation. You don’t want him to think he can just distract you and you’ll forget about being mad at him but—he leans in close to where the skirt of your sundress rucks up around your stomach, warm breath making you clench around nothing with each pant—but you like getting ate out almost as much as Johnny likes to do it.

You sigh as the warm, wet heat of his tongue drags across the damp seat of your panties.

" Johnny. " You whine in frustration, fingers tightening in his sandy hair, as he pulls away as quickly as he came.

"Hold on, sweetheart. I think you're gonna like this." He grins, pulling his phone out of his back pocket. You pause as he unlocks it and presents it to you, camera on and recording you.

"What the hell are you doing?" You try to push as much disapproval into your voice as you can as you flip it from the front-facing camera to the rear one, but that’s an almost impossible task since he’s rubbing his nose up and down the crease of where your thigh meets your pussy. You end up sounding far more breathy than intended.

"What?” He grins into the camera. “You can watch this whenever you need a reminder of who I belong to." He says and if you weren't wet before, you definitely are now.

For as long as you’ve known him, Johnny has never been one to half-ass anything . It’s whole ass or nothing with him putting 110% into everything he’s faced with. However, when you first started dating, you hadn’t thought that would hold up when he had his head between your legs—yet another thing Johnny went out of his way to prove you wrong about.

The camera captures it the moment he pushes your panties to the side; he’s in his element.

There’s no preamble, no warning. Johnny dives in giving you no time to prepare for the shock of pleasure. You jerk away, but he holds onto your hips, hands becoming heavy weights you can’t lift.

“You always taste so good for me, it’s insane.” He groans as your thighs try to squeeze his head, but he keeps them open easily. You sigh shakily at the casual show of strength. “I’d stay down here forever if you’d let me.” You bite your lip to muffle your soft moans, reminding yourself to steady the phone every few seconds, but forgetting to do so almost as soon as you do. But you can’t be blamed when Johnny gives head like he’s training for the Olympics; trying to break his previous record each attempt. You’ve been eaten out by people other than Johnny—of course, you have. It’s a requirement—but none of your past lovers come anywhere close to this. Johnny blows them out of the water every time.

That would be fine if you didn’t factor in his ego. Which would also be fine…any other day. But today, after the shit he pulled, you aren’t in the mood. This is supposed to be his way of apologizing, after all. So before he can get any ideas, you blink past the haze he’s put you in and grab the back of his neck. His back stiffens. He glances up at you and the shift is so swift that you doubt the camera even picked it up. His shoulders relax, almost limp against you, wide eyes going lidded as his grip on you softens.

“I know you can be louder than that, Johnny. I, hah , wanna hear how sorry you are. You are sorry, right?” You narrow your eyes.

His words are muffled since he refuses to take his mouth off of you, but you’re able to make out ‘yes’ and ‘princess’ which is good enough for you. Through the camera, you manage to get his pleading eyes and his hand unabashedly palming his bulge in the same frame and you smile around a moan.

"Are you hard, Johnny?" He doesn't hesitate to nod enthusiastically, and you feel yourself throb in his mouth. You're sure if your feet were on the ground he'd be grinding against your leg shamelessly. His body knows this too since his hips keep making aborted little thrusts, itching for relief from his tight gray slacks. "Heh, of course, you are. You can't help yourself, c–can you? Go on, then.”

He pauses, assessing you for a second to see if you’ll follow it up with anything else. You’re being surprisingly benevolent. He always has to work to earn your approval when you get like this, any pleasure he gets is dictated by you—not that he’s complaining—and that’s on the days when he hasn’t pissed you off. He honestly didn’t think he’d be cumming tonight, but he won’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

He buries his tongue in you, licking from your pulsing hole to your throbbing clit as his hands work to unbuckle his belt and pull his dick out. He groans in relief once he’s free, squeezing the base of his dick so he doesn’t cum too quickly. You’re certainly not helping, shivering against him like a house in a storm and he moans in synch with you when you yank on his hair.

He freezes at the press of sharp nails at the nape of his neck. He shivers at the slight pinch of pain before leaning into it and you reward him with smoothing down the hair there. He stops the movement of his hands, but not his mouth.

“If you’re touching yourself, you’ll do it slowly or not at all. You wanna make it up to me, don’t you? Yeah ?” You hiss as he nods against you, mouth a tight suction on your clit. “Then you don’t cum until I do.” Normally he’s more bratty than this, making you fuck the submission out of him, but he must really be sorry because he does just as you say. He slows down as you instruct, his sharp brows furrowing as one of his hands grip the fat of your thigh. His other hand jerks him off haltingly like he actively has to remind himself to obey you.

“You’re being so good for me, baby.” You gush, squirming in his hold. “ Mmh, s’fucking good.” You have to adjust your grip on his phone when he grunts at your praise, uncertain if you should jerk away or towards the vibrations. You run your nails over his scalp before yanking on his blond hair and he moans like a pornstar, hips thrusting into his hand. To the untrained eye—or ear—it seems like he’s playing it up for the camera, performing, but he’s always this loud. Especially when he’s got your pussy in his mouth.

It's almost embarrassing, the wet sounds of Johnny sloppily eating you out. Your moans mix with his and bounce around the mansion's walls with a filthy echo the longer this goes on.

He stiffens his tongue and you know what he wants. You move your hand to the back of his head, gripping the soft strands to pull him forward. You thrust your hips with helpless, heady moans as you fuck his face. His heavy gaze burns through the camera to stare up at you with his tongue out. The corner of his mouth quirks up into a smirk and he winks. You throw your head back, eyes closed with an obscene moan and he moves forward to press his nose against your clit, tongue flat as you move his head side to side.

“Johnny , mmh, ‘m gonna, f– fuck, ‘m gonna cum!” You cry and he moans into you in response. You glance down to see his foggy glasses riding low on his nose and he stares right back, brown eyes half open but full of lust. The apples of his flushed cheeks become accentuated, sharpening with his grin. The barest hint of teeth brush your clit before pressing against it and you jerk back with the strength of your orgasm. Your mouth falls open with a repeated whine of his name, legs shaking as you hold his head still.

“Damn.” He curses, pulling away when your muscles untense. He doesn't bother wiping his mouth, wearing your slick like a trophy as he smiles into the camera. “Should’ve got that on camera. It was a money shot.” You scoff, smiling despite yourself. You pull his glasses off and sit them on your head before you press stop on the camera and toss the phone on the couch beside you, pulling him to you by the open collar of his button-up. You kiss him deep, tasting yourself on his tongue with a groan. His hands go to your hips and you wrap your legs around his waist, licking into his mouth.

“You played dirty.” You slide your hand down his chest, unbuttoning his shirt as you go. You grab his dick, still hard and leaking against his stomach. He laughs before whimpering into your mouth at your touch, rutting up into it. You swipe a thumb across his tip where precum drips down the underside of the head. "You're so wet, baby. This all for me?" You pull away to lick yourself off him, tongue dragging across the skin of his chin as you twist your wrist with every upward stroke.

"Are you joking? O–of course. Can, shit , can you blame me?” He puffs into your neck, hot air warming your neck as you alternate between licking and kissing his jaw. His fingers spasm around your hips, and your hands fly to his shoulders when he pulls you forward until your ass is barely on the edge of the couch. Now he’s in the perfect position to—

You gasp as he ruts against you, still sensitive as his dick slides between your pussy lips. There’s no friction with how wet you both are and with every upwards thrust he bumps your twitching clit.

“Wait, I’m— mmnh —Johnny, I’m sensitive.”

“Ah, ah, sweetheart. You said I can cum when you do,” you jump when he nips at your neck, strong arms wrapping around your back holding you tight to him. “Besides, I’m not done apologizing.” You rock against him despite your complaining. The overwhelming feeling only increases when he bends over you to reach something, and it’s enough to distract you from the sound a phone makes when you press record.

“I have many names”: Halbrand, the Repentant Mairon in “Rings of Power”

The themes of redemption, second chances and forgiveness are major in Tolkien legendarium. This is due to Tolkien’s Catholic faith, and the belief that no one is irredeemable in the eyes of God, no matter how low they might have fallen.

And we see “Rings of Power” exploring these themes with Sauron’s character in Season 1. Or better yet, with Halbrand, which is the name the show chose for “Repentant Mairon” (Sauron’s original name) of Tolkien lore.

Nothing is Evil in the Beginning

This is the first quote in “Rings of Power”, narrated by Galadriel. This is a reference to Elrond’s quote in “Fellowship of the Ring” book: “For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so.”

In the beginning of time, in the Days before Days, Mairon (the admirable) was created by Eru (God) as a Maia of Aulë, and he was one of the most powerful Maiar (demigods or angels). He was a Maia of smithing, perfection, order and beauty, with qualities like goodness, purity of heart and loyalty, and a dislike for wastefulness. He helped shape Eä (the material universe) alongside the Valar and the other Maiar, during the Ainulindalë (the music of the Ainur), and these qualities (smithing, perfection, order and beauty) were, most likely, his contributions.

Due to his power, he was targeted by the Dark Lord Melkor/Morgoth (the most powerful of the Valar), who seduced him, with promises of greater power. Morgoth is the Satan of Tolkien lore; he was envious of Eru’s capacity of creation, and wanted it for himself. Unable to have it, he devoted himself to corrupt it (which included the corruption of several Maiar), and destroy it.

Becoming Sauron

Mairon, being an idealist, betrayed the Valar and joined Melkor, seeing in him the opportunity to make his ideas a reality. He went on to become Morgoth’s most devoted servant and chief lieutenant, in charge of Angband fortress, in Middle-earth, during the First Age.

Mairon was corrupted by Morgoth, and reshaped into darkness, and all of his qualities reversed: his love became obsession; of order and perfection into dominion and tyranny; beauty into ugliness and monstrosity (by the breeding of the Orcs), goodness into evil, and his loyalty and purity of heart into treachery and deception, becoming the “great deceiver”. The Elves created the name “Sauron” (the abhorrent), as a mockery of his own.

Eventually, Mairon started to resent Melkor, because their goals turned out to be opposite: while Melkor is chaos and destruction, Mairon is order and perfection. Melkor is brute force, Mairon is the brain. What Melkor wanted to destroy, Mairon wished to perfect. Melkor is chaotic evil, while Mairon is lawful evil.

Mairon’s whereabouts are unknown during several periods of time, especially after his defeat at the hands of Lúthien and Huan, the Hound of Valinor (so it’s uncertain if he was hiding from Morgoth, or if Morgoth locked him up somewhere).

Season 2 of “Rings of Power” has already began shedding some light on this, in 2x07:

Sauron: Be not afraid. This too shall pass. I promise you, when Middle-earth is healed, and its people see what you and I did here… all our sufferings will be worth it. Celebrimbor: “Our sufferings”?

Do you know what it is to be tortured at the hands of a god?

Sauron mentioning Morgoth next and how he treated him, seems to indicate that’s what he meant by “all our sufferings will be worth it”. And this idea goes on in this dialogue:

Sauron: Sometimes, the pain almost became a reward. Became a game. A contest, to see whose will was the mightier. Celebrimbor: And after all that, you would still choose to inflict the same pain upon me? Sauron: No. You chose it. Not I. Celebrimbor: What?

I already analyzed this scene from Tolkien theological views of this dynamic, but we can also talk about the wild amount of projection Sauron is doing here. Because the core theme of this scene is Morgoth’s treatment of Sauron, and how he’s replicating that with Celebrimbor. Which might indicate these were things Sauron himself heard from Morgoth in the past: the pain is a reward; you chose it; you [are] the true author of your own torment.

And Celebrimbor saw through this, which explains his reply to Sauron’s nonsense:

And his advise to Galadriel, in the same episode:

We also see Sauron crying while hearing Adar’s tale, in 2x01: “I was in your place once. In the eldest of the Elder Days. Thirteen of us were chosen to be blessed of Morgoth’s hand, with the promise of power. A new birth. I was led up to a dark and nameless peak. Chained and left.”

There are many interpretations on why Sauron cries, but I think it’s because he’s recalling his own experience of being “blessed by Morgoth’s hand”, which might have been somewhat similar, but far worse, because Mairon is truly immortal, meaning he can be subjected to every sort of torture imaginable, without truly dying, because he can always re-embody.

And even before any explicit mention of torture, this was already clear when we saw Sauron being resistant to extreme physical pain, hinting it’s something he’s very familiar with: not only he was tortured by Morgoth, but his previous physical form got stabbed into oblivion by the Orcs, without him making a sound.

@love-and-doom asked me why didn’t the Valar or other Maiar intervene when Mairon was being corrupted/tortured by Morgoth? Or why didn’t Aulë tried to get Mairon back? Sauron himself answered to that: because he “chose it”, and he’s the true author of [his] own torment.

Free will is another major theme in Tolkien lore. And neither the Valar, and less alone any Maia, could do anything without Eru’s permission. And the moment a character sides with evil in Tolkien lore, it’s stuck with the consequences. And this goes for Marion, Adar and Celebrimbor. Because all of these characters are both victims and accomplices of Morgoth (the original source of evil), directly (Mairon and Adar), or indirectly (Celebrimbor).

Which also explains why Sauron hates and resents the Gods so much; he probably feels they have forsaken him, like they did with Middle-earth after the War of Wrath, hence him stepping in to rebuild and heal it (because no other Vala would); symbolizing his own desire of healing himself from Morgoth’s corruption.

Sauron in Truth Repented

In 2x01, we saw Sauron getting taught some humility by Adar and the Orcs unionizing against him, when he gets his physical form destroyed, by the means of Morgoth’s crown. Afterwards, Sauron is trapped in a cave for centuries, until he’s able to get out.

He, eventually, re-embodies and is able to recover his physical “fair form”, after centuries as a slimy dark substance.

When Morgoth was defeated, it was as if a great, clenched fist had released its grasp from my neck. And in the stillness of that first sunrise, at last, I felt the light of The One again. And I knew if ever I was to be forgiven... That I had to heal everything that I had helped ruin. Sauron tells Galadriel, 1x08

Soon, we see him brought low, depressed and unsure on what path to take; having a identity crisis. Some centuries trapped in a cave being goo will do that, even to a demigod (Maia).

We see him lingering on Middle-earth, and by the visual clues (wardrobe and sword) it can indicate that he might have dwelled among humans for a unknown period of time, and even found himself work as smith (sword).

The passage of time is not only hinted by his clothes, but when we, the audience, last saw him he was at Forodwaith (Northern Waste), and when he meets Diarmid, he’s in the Southlands; which means, he traveled all the way from the north to the southeast of Middle-earth.

The Trials of Mairon: Diarmid

When Thangorodrim was broken and Morgoth overthrown, Sauron put on his fair hue again and did obeisance to Eönwë, the herald of Manwë, and abjured all his evil deeds. And some hold that this was not at first falsely done, but that Sauron in truth repented, if only out of fear, being dismayed by the fall of Morgoth and the great wrath of the Lords of the West. But it was not within the power of Eönwë to pardon those of his own order, and he commanded Sauron to return to Aman and there receive the judgment of Manwë. Then Sauron was ashamed, and he was unwilling to return in humiliation and to receive from the Valar a sentence, in might be, of long servitude in proof of his good faith; for under Morgoth his power had been great. Therefore when Eönwë departed he hid himself in Middle-Earth. The Silmarillion

There is a theory that Diarmid might have been Eönwë in disguise, sent by Manwë, and his mission was to test Mairon and bring him home to Aman. I subscribe to this theory, because not only it’s aligned with what Tolkien wrote, but because Amazon has limited rights to “The Silmarillion”, and needs to adapt and work around it.

And there’s some clues towards this in the dialogue itself:

That way lies death, friend. […] I know you’ve suffered. I can see it in your eyes. There’s another life waiting for you. You just have to turn toward it. […] A sure path may crumble, but there’s always another. Often, it can lead us someplace better. Someplace good. They say there’s places across the sea, a man can escape himself. Find another path. Perhaps another life. Come with us, if you like. Or, walk on. And keep chasing death. Choice is yours, friend.

Diarmid also wears the pouch of the King of the Southlands, which might be another clue; “A symbol of kings, long-dead […] My family served them.”

This is also connected with what Mairon tells Galadriel in 1x03: Be careful, Elf. The heir to this mark is heir to more than just nobility. For it was his ancestor who swore a blood oath to Morgoth. I am not the hero you seek. For it was my family that lost the war.

In "Rings of Power"; this pouch is symbolical of Mairon's blowing up his redemption, and falling back into evil.

The connection between the Southlanders and Morgoth was also a major theme throughout Season 1. This was, after all, the reason why the Elves kept watch over them for centuries: It has changed much, Watch warden. But the Men who live here have not. The blood of those who stood with Morgoth still darkens their veins. (Revion to Arondir; 1x01).

You were right to watch us. Because we are destined for the darkness. It's how we survive. Perhaps it's who we are. Who we will always be. Bronwyn to Arondir, 1x05

What we see here is that Southlanders were kept watch by the Elves to make sure they were fulfilling their penitence for siding with Morgoth, and obtaining their pardon from the Valar.

Hence Diarmid/Eönwë wearing the pouch of the King of the Southlands, as a test for Mairon: will you choose good and redemption (save Diarmid)? Or will you choose evil and Morgoth (the pouch)?

Diarmid: Nightmares again? What haunts you so? Mairon: I've done evil. Diarmid: All of us have done things that we care not to admit. Mairon: Not like I have. Diarmid: Find forgiveness. You are alive because you have chosen good. Mairon: But what of tomorrow? Diarmid: You have to choose it again. And the next day. And the next. Until it becomes a part of your nature.

And this makes even more sense with the sea serpent destroying the ship Diarmid and Mairon were traveling on, in the Sundering Seas, near Valinor. A sea creature, most likely, sent by Ulmo, the Vala of the sea. Or even Ossë, the Maia of Inner Seas, himself.

We have the Gods uniting to test Mairon and killing a bunch of humans in the process. Why I’m telling you this? Because the “Rings of Power” fandom has not yet grasped the concept of “being a God” and how Gods are d*cks, overall, who don’t care about individual lives, they look at the full picture and see reality in 5D. Like Sauron himself. And if they need to kill a bunch of people to accomplish their goals, they will. Even Eru sinks an entire island to punish its people, and He’s the ultimate good (and authority) in Tolkien lore.

And Mairon failed the test, because he chose Morgoth (the pouch), and left Diarmid to die.

The Trials of Mairon: Galadriel and Númenor

Sauron was of course not 'evil' in origin. He was a 'spirit' corrupted by the Prime Dark Lord (the Prime sub-creative Rebel) Morgoth. He was given an opportunity of repentance, when Morgoth was overcome, but could not face the humiliation of recantation, and suing for pardon; and so his temporary turn to good and 'benevolence' ended in a greater relapse. Tolkien Letter 153

Having failed one test, the Valar didn’t give up on Mairon, for they send him another: Galadriel. Who also turned her back on Heaven, by choosing to remain in Middle-earth due to her pride, and desire of hunting down Sauron. And, so, this time, they were both getting tested by the Gods. And even Mairon sees through her, in 1x02: At last, a little honesty. If you want to murder Orcs and settle a score, that's your affair. Don't dress it up as heroism.

When Mairon arrives at Númenor, he sees it as “the place across the sea” Diarmid told him about. Where he can find another path, another life. A island gifted by the Valar themselves to Men, and where they are ever watchful. And so, he believes this is where he can prove his good faith to the Valar and sought their forgiveness for his past sins and crimes under Morgoth.

However, Mairon recognizes that Galadriel can be a liability on his plan of staying at Númenor, not only due to her antagonistic atitude towards the Númenóreans, but also the bad blood between them and the Elves. And that explains his advises to her, in 1x03: “I suggest we set history aside for the moment and show some restraint. Let's try not to antagonize these people.”

When things turn sour in their meeting with Tar-Míriel, we see him employing his charming ways, and acting the diplomat: “It seems to me that our leaving presents some complications. Perhaps it'd be better if we stayed... […] Long enough, good Queen, to give you and your advisors adequate time to weigh our request. A few days, perhaps?”

Of course, Mairon’s intention is not to stay in Númenor for just a “few days”. He wants to stay there in servitude, and prove his good will to the Valar: “I have been searching for my peace for longer than you know. Please, for both our sakes, let me keep it.”

to receive from the Valar a sentence, in might be, of long servitude in proof of his [Sauron] good faith; The Silmarillion

When the petals of Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor, fall, according to Queen-regent Míriel, the Faithful see in them the tears of the Valar, “a living reminder that their eyes and judgment are ever upon us.”

Which explains Mairon's next actions: after the meeting, he goes straight to Númenor forge, to find himself work there:

There is not another man on this isle that knows this craft better than I. I will shovel coal if needs be, I’ll splinter wood, I’ll shape a sea anchor for you, free of charge, sturdier than anything you have ever seen. How’s that? I’m here to start anew. Lend me that chance. Please. And I won’t forget it. Halbrand/Mairon asks for work at Númenor forge, 1x03

Mairon is told he needs a guild crest in order to be a smith in Númenor, and he’ll do just about anything to get it. And this is when his bounds to Morgoth and his old ways come to the surface: not only does he steal the crest from one of the smiths (and gets into a bloody street fight), but he also tells Ar-Pharazôn of Galadriel’s plans. And this was confirmed by Galadriel herself in 1x05: I wondered how the queen knew to waylay me at her father's bedside. It never occurred to me you'd hand me over for a guild crest.

And we see Mairon working at the forge, and he’s happy. It’s not random that the times we see Mairon truly happy in Season 1 is when he’s smithing; both in Númenor, and at Eregion, alongside Celebrimbor. This was what he was created to do and to be, by Eru himself. This is his purpose, and what’s he’s meant to be doing. Not getting high on power trips (Morgoth).

And this is a great contrast with Season 2: as Mairon goes deeper into evil, he embraces the sorcerer and neglects the smith. We barely saw him doing any actual smithing in Eregion, in Season 2, while in Season 1, he was involved in the entire process.

And, as Galadriel leaves, the petals of Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor, fall. The Valar “cry”: my theory it’s in approval of Mairon’s decision of staying in Númenor, in servitude. He has proven his good will (“in truth repented”) and needs to stay on his current path (redemption is a process). But Míriel looks at it, all wrong (like her father will warn her about), and thinks it’s a warning to follow Galadriel, when it’s actually the other way around.

And 1x05, we see Galadriel acting behind his back and involving Míriel, Queen regent of Númenor, in her plans of getting herself an army to fight “Sauron” in the Southlands (the army she claims Sauron promised her, in 2x06).

And Mairon is vexed. He doesn’t want any part in this; he wants his redemption. And this is very clear in this scene:

Míriel: My thanks, Lord Halbrand. I'm certain your fellowship will prove just as invaluable once we make landfall. Mairon: "Landfall?" Míriel: Galadriel informed us of your aspiration to unite your people. Mairon: Did she now? Galadriel: I trust she was not speaking in haste? Mairon: As a matter of fact, it was my intention... [to stay in Númenor] Galadriel: My companion is merely feeling the weight of his task. I have no doubt, come time, he will do his part. Míriel: Given that I've staked my name upon it, I should hope so. Edda: Queen Regent, your father has requested your presence in the tower. Mairon: "Galadriel informed us." Galadriel: I wondered how the queen knew to waylay me at her father's bedside. It never occurred to me you'd hand me over for a guild crest. Mairon: You used me. After I all but begged you to let me be. Galadriel: I have just convinced Númenor to send five ships and 500 men to aid your people and place a crown upon your head. Many might assume you used me. Mairon: Find another head to crown.

This is Mairon symbolically rejecting Morgoth. And this is the “good” he should have chosen. This is him passing the test, and a step closer to his redemption.

But Morgoth/Galadriel won’t give up, and she goes to the forge to persuade him into taking up the role of King of the Southlands.

I already talked about this on several posts; in Season 1, we see Galadriel being the “Morgoth” to Mairon’s “Sauron” on several occasions, by tempting him with promises of power. And this Númenor forge scene is a direct parallel with Morgoth tempting Mairon with promises of power in Aulë forge.

This idea is also present in Míriel's scene with her father, the king of Númenor, on the same episode, when Tar-Palantir warns her against going to Middle-earth and follow Galadriel:

Tar-Palantir: The kingdom! The kingdom is in danger. I must... Míriel: The danger has passed, Father. We are doing now what you always believed we must. We're restoring our connection with the Elves. I'm going to Middle-earth. Tar-Palantir: Míriel? Míriel: Yes, Father. It's me. Tar-Palantir: Don't go to Middle-earth. All that awaits you there is... Míriel: What, Father? What awaits me? Tar-Palantir: Darkness.

And this is true to both Míriel and Mairon, because darkness is what awaits for them there, should they follow Galadriel. Because, just like Adar tells her, in 1x06: It would seem I'm not the only Elf alive who has been transformed by darkness. Perhaps your search for Morgoth's successor should have ended in your own mirror.

And we see this dynamic with Galadriel and Mairon in the forge scene, where the pouch (Morgoth) is used as a plot device; while Galadriel wants him to take it, Mairon rejects it.

Galadriel: I was wrong to use you. For that, I'm sorry. Tomorrow, the queen will call you to audience. Your voice at that meeting may well decide whether this mission stands or falls. Help me. Mairon: I think I've helped you quite enough. Galadriel: Then help yourself. Stop fighting me, and together, let us fight them.

And this is when Galadriel tells him about her brother's death (although Mairon was already aware of this). But that's not what makes him reconsider, and essentially ruin his redemption. It’s when Galadriel says this:

The company I led mutinied against me. My closest friend conspired with the king to exile me. And each of them acted as they did… Because I believe they could no longer distinguish me… from the evil I was fighting.

And this is personal to Mairon. Because of what happened with Adar and Orcs; not only they mutinied against him, but they could no longer distinguish him from Morgoth.

And this is related with what Adar himself tells Galadriel in 1x06: After Morgoth's defeat, the one you call Sauron… Devoted himself to healing Middle-earth, bringing its ruined lands together in perfect order. He sought to craft a power not of the flesh… But over flesh. A power of the Unseen World. He bid as many as he could to follow him far north. But try as he might… Something was missing […] For my part… I sacrificed enough of my children for his aspirations. I split him open. I killed Sauron.

Your sorrow cannot ease my pain. And nor will a hammer and tongs ease yours. There is no peace to be found for you here. And nor for me. No lasting peace in any path, but that which lies across the sea. I have fought for centuries, seeking to earn mine. This is how you earn yours.

Find Forgiveness

And this is when everything collapses, and changes for Mairon. He now believes his redemption is connected to Galadriel and her forgiveness. But he’s deeply mistaken, because by following Galadriel and going to Middle-earth, all that awaits him there is darkness, like Tar-Palantir prophesied.

And that’s why Galadriel is connected to the Fall of Númenor visions: she's the “Morgoth” who brings "Sauron" back, like Gil-galad foresaw, in 1x01: “We foresaw that if it had, she [Galadriel] might have inadvertently kept alive the very evil she sought to defeat [Sauron]. For the same wind that seeks to blow out a fire may also cause its spread.”

By following Galadriel, Mairon chooses deception over redemption. And it’s like Elrond says to Galadriel in 2x02: “It was entirely of your choosing. Sauron looked inside you, plucked the very song of your soul, note by note, making himself out to be exactly what you needed. "The Lost King" who could ride you to victory.”

And this is exactly what Mairon does, hoping to earn Galadriel’s forgiveness, and redeem himself. And he makes his choice. And he chooses wrong. He fails the test; and he chooses Morgoth (the pouch), all over again.

And in 1x06, we see Mairon helping people, and guiding them to safety. And he thinks it’s because of Galadriel’s influence on him, and not of his own doing. Because he’s a Maia, he was created as a servant, and he needs to serve someone, otherwise he’s lost.

Galadriel: Whatever it was he did to you, and whatever it was you did... Be free of it. Mairon: I never believed I could be... Until today. Fighting at your side, I... I felt... If I could just hold on to that feeling, keep it with me always, bind it to my very being, then I...

And when Galadriel tells him “I’ve felt it too”; it’s the confirmation and validation Mairon needed. He thinks she’ll be willing to bind herself to him, and keep him in the light, and he'll achieve the redemption he so desperately wants.

But Galadriel’s light is merely aesthetic; it’s the light of the Two Trees of Valinor, who shines on every Elf who was born during the Years of the Trees. But in her case it’s more perceptible, because of her legendary golden, shot with silver, hair. And it’s her beauty that blinds Mairon; the Maia who loves beautiful things.

Forgiveness takes an Age

Forgiveness doesn't come to folk like me. Sooner or later, they'll cast me out, you know they will. Estrid to Isildur, 2x03

In Tolkien legendarium “forgiveness” is not just “earned”, it’s given, as well. And we see this with Frodo and Gollum in “Lord of the Rings”: it’s Frodo’s mercy and pity that ultimately allow Gollum to “redeem” himself, because he's the one who destroys the Ring, by falling down the volcano with it. Frodo, in “Fellowship of the Ring” believed Gollum deserved death and that Bilbo should have killed him when he got the chance, but Gandalf shares some wisdom with him on that topic. However, after he meets Gollum, he pities him and takes mercy on him.

And when Galadriel rejects his offer, Mairon sees it as a rejection of her forgiveness. She tells him: No penance could ever erase the evil you have done; and he sees this as confirmation of his worse fears, on a subconscious level (because he’ll try to redeem himself through the “rings of power” masterplan, still); he’s not worthy of redemption, and others will always cast him out. This is the turning point for him.

Because this is also a theme morally gray or villainous characters face in Tolkien lore (especially in The Silmarillion): they are always seen as irredeemable by others, and must die. But these characters are wrong, due to Tolkien’s ideas of redemption, rooted in Catholic faith (and this is what is called “unreliable narrators”, because “The Silmarillion” is written by the Eldar POV, and is a collection of facts, myths and gossip, essentially).

In Tolkien lore, “redemption” is a process, and a nuanced and complex idea. It’s broader than just one villain turning good overnight, because in the legendarium this process is not instantaneous. It’s pretty much like Diarmid tells Mairon in 2x01: it’s a process where the character has to progress towards good by conscious choice and free will: “you have to chose it again, until it becomes part of your nature”.

But Mairon never chooses this. And in Season 1 of “Rings of Power”, it’s exactly what Tolkien wrote: he in truth repents, temporarily turns to good and benevolence, but doesn’t see his redemption through as a result of his own choices. And the “pride” Tolkien talks about is personified in Galadriel, and him choosing to follow her, instead of staying in Númenor in servitude. But he means well throughout Season 1 and Season 2, too; when he embraces the next plot of his character arc, “Annatar the reformer”.

And this is Halbrand. And he was very much real, and not one of “Sauron’s illusions” or deceptions. He was Mairon seeking redemption and pardon from the Valar due to his crimes under Morgoth.

I'm planning on doing meta on "Annatar the Reformer" of Tolkien lore, too. But I got a feeling "he" is not over in "Rings of Power", just yet. I think that plot will continue in Season 3.

→ Venus Through the Houses🪷 (the second house)

The manifestations of having the planet Venus through the houses in the natal chart, in a wider perspective, without being predictable about it.

DISCLAIMER 1: I am NOT a professional astrologer, traditional or modern. I study astrology for a few years, and this is a collection of what I've learned, and what I've seen manifested in real life.

DISCLAIMER 2: Use caution and discernment when reading, and understand that this post is about one isolated planet in one isolated house in a chart. There are 12 houses, 6 major planets, 3 outer planets, and at least 5 possible major aspects between planets in your chart. Those detail can and WILL affect how the energy shows up in your life personally, so it might not apply to you. Everybody is unique.

💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Venus in the 2nd house 💎🍷

This is a very interesting house, because, while it is a natural Venus house – as it is the house of Taurus, and Venus rules Taurus (and Libra) – it's a very primal house, tapping into Venus' more instinctual impulses, as opposed from the 7H, which will see Venus in her more idealistic side.

Since the 2H is the house of money and possessions, that is usually where the stereotypes focus, and it does touch on those topics, but the 2H goes beyond money and luxury, because it describes value not just in a monetary way, but also in a morals way. It also talks about material things not just in a financial way, but also in the literal physical way. And the 2H – as the house of Taurus, the earthiest of the Earth signs – is connected to nature, connected to the body, so we can take some characteristics from nature itself too to understand this house. Venus here feels like a fairy queen.

The good 😊:

You are very sensual and seductive. (Unfortunately, the 2H doesn't have the 1H/7H luck of just oozing natural charm, so you COULD end up losing the positive attention you get if your personality stinks. 2H Venuses aren't social charmers like 1st and 7th house Venuses. So don't test people, because they WILL NOT be that forgiving towards you.)

You have a warm, smooth, deep voice that is very melodic, because Taurus rules the throat.

You have a keen eye for beautiful and quality things, so your five senses are refined. You know what smells good, what tastes good, what sounds good, what looks good and what feels good.

Good, natural ability to advocate for your personal needs.

You have a natural ability to spot opportunities, whether it's opportunity for money or other things. You can quickly see an angle to come into a fortunate situation for yourself.

You have a natural ability to make even the cheapest of outfits look well put together and sophisticated.

IF YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON, you have very solid morals and will be very helpful to others.

Natural tendency to attract people who want to pay for things for you. In the case of lovers, you could often attract lovers who want to provide for you financially.

Random, but could be a good dancer.

You know what you want and how you want it, clearly, and will let people know.

May keep your living space very clean and organized and pleasant to be in, because you like to feel comfortable.

Can easily fix self-esteem problems with therapy. You learn quickly how to love yourself.

You do well with structure, and can set well-defined plans.

The bad 😠:

You could struggle with envy. Venus is a very jealous entity, and she does not care for feeling like number 2. You might be feel bitter about other people getting the things you feel like YOU should have. (That's low-key a common issue with Taurus placements too oops!)

Not to play into the whole Taurus stereotype, but Venus is all about comfort and bodily pleasure... And hard work is not exactly pleasurable. So laziness could be a big issue for you. Don't get me wrong, you CAN work very hard on things, but you'll do it absolutely furious that you have to.

Could use excessive sleep and excessive eating as escapism and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

You may have very, very jealous tendencies, and the worst part is that it's not even about genuine love, it's more about being possessive and feeling like people are things you own.

Possible tendency to be very transactional in your relationships with others. What can you gain from them? How can they benefit you? How is this a lucrative situation for you? If I give them something, they have to give me something back-mindset.

Might have a habit of using people, which comes hand-in-hand with fake niceties and pleasantries.

Might seek a relationship just for profit, whether it's because the person has good money and you won't have to work, or because they have a solid and stable foundation you can take advantage of, they have a solid support system that will be available to you, or even because they are profitable for you in a social sense (e.g.: they are considered very pretty and it gives you good social status).

Might really struggle with weight, fluctuating and, most often, unwanted weight gain more often than unwanted weight loss.

The goddess Venus was said to be quite vengeful, despite being the goddess of love, so Venus in the 2H could get a real high out of being stubborn and punishing people they don't like. And will not care if the person doesn't deserve it. All they might care about is their own feelings. And will feel powerful harming others in that context.

IF YOU ARE A BAD PERSON, your values might be very very loose, and you will tend to justify your own bad habits to yourself, always finding an excuse to continue doing what you shouldn't have been doing from the beginning.

In love 💕:

Wants stability above all. In all senses (financial, emotional, social, physical, psychological).

VERY indulgent, and will expect their romantic partner to provide that for them, and will provide that back to them as well.

Will be sensual and play games to rile up their partner.

Demanding.

Tendency to be possessive of their partner and get easily jealous of their loved ones.

Likes beautiful gifts, beautiful dates and beautiful things. Expensive too.

Will take some time to get into a relationship, but once they do, they don't like to waste time, so they will insist in the relationship if they feel like it's going sour, because they don't like feeling like they worked for nothing.

Likes to be intimate in their interactions with their love, not only in bed, but in general.

Likes home dates, but outside dates MUST include food and drinks at some point.

Will tend to expect a lot from their partners, and will become bitter and moody if something doesn't go according to their exact plan.

Could meet their partner while putting themselves out there and enjoying life.

Could meet their partner in a place where they are stimulating their senses, so somewhere where they are eating good food, drinking good drinks, or listening to music they like.

Will attract partners who already have something stable going for themselves, so it could be somebody who already owns a house, or has a good stable salary, or is well put together in life.

Prefer committed relationships to flings.

Wants a partner who shares their values and also their life goals. And wants a partner they can invest in long-term goals with, not just short-term things.

They like cute partners.

Like chivalry and dates that feel comfortable, familiar and cozy.

Hii, thanks so much for sharing your kpop tarot readings, they’re so fun to read! I love how detailed and in depth they are. If it’s okay could I request a reading on Seventeen’s reputation in the industry? Thank you!

A tarot reading on: SEVENTEEN

SEVENTEEN's reputation as idols

When it comes to Seventeen's reputation as idols they are seen as sophisticated, confident, and friendly. People look at them and consider them to be "seasoned", so over their years their talent has progressed even further. They are good at what they do and just have such a refined quality to their music, style, and charm. People could like their energy or like the fact they are a large group? People see them as a group of friends vs a band who just only make music. The members of Seventeen are good at making each person shine their best qualities.

What does the music industry think of Seventeen?

I believe the industry had to grow to like Seventeen because they were so different and now they have accepted them. It's like the music industry saw them as only something superficial like for their looks for example (it seems there was comparisons to other large groups? EXO or Super Junior, perhaps?). Overtime as the members of Seventeen got to showcase their talents, the music industry became impressed with what they were all capable of. They now see them as very creative and free spirited individuals. They could of originally wanted them to fit into this box but Seventeen attracts the most abundance when they are just being themselves.

What do other idols think of Seventeen?

Other idols see Seventeen as humble, funny, and disciplined. A lot of green, blue, and purple here so that connects with the crown, third eye, and heart chakra. Seventeen's passion for their art is able to project through an entire room, it's pretty amazing. People can't help but be in awe. Seventeen are able to depict their authenticity well through their music and it comes off as very charming. Idols think they are great entertainers and the younger generation all have positive things to say about them. They're so much fun to be around. Seventeen are also very popular on variety shows.

Channeled messages:

There was this lingering energy that I could not shake off and I had to dive deep into this depressing aura here because there was something about this group that wanted to come to the light. So a few members had come forward and I had to decipher who it was or what they were trying to tell me. One member in particular was in a relationship a long time ago that nobody knows about and he has been feeling guilty ever since. The other members I channeled were the people the closest to him at the time and would cover for him by drawing more attention to themselves. This member who was in a relationship was dating a senior idol. They are no longer together but he is feeling heartbroken about what happened and feels he is part of the reason that the person he used to date has lost their success or aren't in the spotlight anymore is because of him (it's more so he's part of it, like he emotionally impacted this person, but it is not all his fault, there were other factors involved). This member fears that if this were to ever go public, people would no longer want to work with him, and would create rumors implying he's not a good person to be around. That he would date all of his coworkers or something, when that's just not true. There's purple, blue, orange, yellow, and red which connects to the crown, third eye, throat, sacral, solar, and root chakra. This member is going through a lot of inner turmoil, he needs to let his go of this guilt he feels and forgive himself for what happened in the past. To understand that he did his best to loved that person dearly, there was no malicious intentions to sabotage the other idol's career. He also needs to stop letting other people's opinions think low of himself? Like these cards kept sneaking in when I asked about what other idols think of him so I'm getting that he deals with intrusive thoughts or anxiety but he's hiding it. This member needs to be honest with himself and others. He is more appreciated and cared for than he realizes. His aura is very muddy right now but he will able to heal from this in the future (I will personally send him some healing energy myself if I have to 🥺🤧). Also unrelated, but some of the members have stated that they have dated before. Their Fandom (Carats) need to be more realistic when it comes their love life because they could be hindering their relationships.

Hi there! If it's still open, I'd like to have a Hazbin Hotel matchup, if it's okay :')

INFJ-T || Enneagram 2w1 || Straight female || she/her || 5'4" height || prefers male || light or platonic love for this one.

Personality:

People mistake me for being extroverted when I'm introverted by nature. I count myself as Ambivert, but leaning more to the introverted side. I tend to be very quiet to the point of socially awkward. Depending on the person, I become guarded with people who I feel I don't trust. I'm good at reading people. When they get to know me longer, they'll find me unusually talkative and fun-loving. I would share ideas/advice when needed. I love to treat my friends and family out to places, if finances allow. I love my family and friends with my life to the point of being overprotective. I tend to become embarrassed when I'm given a gift, since I'm used to being the one giving gifts. I tend to roast people without even meaning to/without me realizing it.

Weaknesses: I have very low self-esteem. I tend to get jealous when someone hangs out with my s/o, though I'm working on to be more confident and more trusting with them. Whenever I have concerns, I have a hard time sharing it with my s/o and end up bottling it inside. I get anxious real easily and get overwhelmed when multi-tasking. Deep down: I'm an empath, so others' feelings become my own. When people need help, I wouldn't hesitate to help or to comfort them; and I would feel guilty if I feel that I didn't contribute enough. Despite being anxious, I would do my best to make sure that my s/o or other loved ones that they're alright before attending to myself. Love language: Quality time, acts of service, and words of affirmation. If it's something physical, hugs and occasional kisses on the cheek.

My Type: Though it's rare, I'd love someone who would know what I feel/think -- like there's a connection between us. Because I tend to be anxious most of the time, I'd like someone who can reassure me and be patient with me, my rants, and panic moments. I'd like someone who would let me care for them, as they care for me. I'd like someone who values communication and honesty. I'd like someone who could help me come out of my shell little by little.

Likes: Harmony, nature, peace and quiet, wholesome videos/photos, sweets/desserts, puzzles, musicals

Dislikes: Violence, bullying, unfairness, being told of the same problem repeatedly, being lied to (may it be for good reason or not), being ignored, sheep mentality, toxic communities, manipulative people

Hobbies: Drawing, reading, listening to music, ice skating, hanging out with family and friends, sleeping, doing handicrafts (like crocheting, loom knitting and sculpting) and homemade gifts, and walking through nature.

Interests: Adventure, travel, mystery, magic, paranormal, and anything vintage.

Aesthetics: I jump between Vintage, Light Academia, and Cottagecore, depending on the mood. I hope this info helps ;_;

𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕓𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕕 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙…

𝓢𝓲𝓻 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼!

Quite honestly I was thinking Angel Dust at first but thought the snake boy might be better-

So lets get started!!

You both likely met at the hotel and he thought you were being extroverted since that's common, because of that he would commonly go up to you and strike up a conversation.

He at first did this to try and make progress with his redemption and try and help you with yours but soon it became that he just liked hanging out with you

"Sooo... how are you doing this evening ma'am?"

Even though you were quiet with him at first that didn't stop him from interacting and talking with you... mainly because his egg boys would NOT leave you alone.

They would constantly run into your room and around you when he would try and catch them and get them to stop

Afterwards he would apologize to you and tip his hat asking for forgiveness

"I am ssssooo sorry, they get quite rambunctious at times,"

Slowly you would begin to warm up to him and he would start to show you all of his new inventions and such

He didn't mind you randomly getting talkative, in fact he would be absolutely ecstatic over it since he just made a new friend

When you give him something he feels like he needs to repay it back and will make something for you in return

"Here you go! I made it mysself!!"

If you're ever dealing with low self esteem he's there for you all of the way and will talk you up no matter what, although he isn't the best at comforting at times so maybe keep that in mind

To cheer you up he might give you something that he made along with random gifts or things that he thought was cool

Of course when you get embarrassed over this he thinks that he's doing something right and will keep doing so

Whenever you bottle something inside and he notices he goes back to one thing... gifts, constantly leaving them at your doorstep until you're ready to talk.

He'll also sneak them into random places as well hoping that they'll make you feel better.

Sorry this took so long-

also... I'm starting to get on everyone's matchups! They are closed for now but that's just until I clear my inbox of them, please understand <3

Hello there! I hope all is well with you. Congratulations on your milestone~ 🥳💕 I was wondering if I could request and have a romantic match-up with an Obey Me character. I might tell too much about myself, so I apologize if you find it lengthy to read. Please take your time doing mine if you have got a lot on your plate~ >//<

I will begin with the basics. My name is Luna, and I am a heterosexual referred to by 'she/her' pronouns. My zodiac sign is Libra, and until now, I have remained skeptical about my MBTI and enneagram results, so I will not disclose it. As for my outward appearance, I am average-looking with a soft and gentle aura, short height, and poor eyesight, so I am wearing rose-gold eyeglasses.

Proceeding with my personality, I am a routine-oriented homebody who enjoys being around familiar people and places and staying in my cozy private space to do my own thing. When it comes to the group setting, I usually take leadership or any important role because I like being included and involved in central planning, inasmuch as I prefer being one of the planners rather than a follower or solely the recipient of that plan. I am conscientious about my goals and responsibilities and have perfectionist tendencies, which resulted in me becoming a consistent principal's honor roll undergraduate student in one of the top universities in my homeland. Because of that, I may appear to be a highly career-oriented individual who does not know how to have fun, but trust me, I am also an idler and procrastinator who prefers to chill, daydream, and waste my time using social media platforms, playing Otome, MOBA, and simulation games, listening to music, or reading fictional romance stories, including girls' love and boys' love or Danmei novels.

In addition, I am reserved with individuals I do not know too well or vibe with but very understanding, easy-going, really bubbly, expressive, affectionate, and humorous with my friends and other people I like. I am a go-with-the-flow person, never a risk-taker, and tend to conform to the rules because I dislike getting in trouble. I do not like being left behind and putting a burden on anyone, so I usually make myself low maintenance and suppress what I truly want. However, I am not very noble that I would stake my life for someone else nor forgiving that I would just sit by and allow someone to trample and treat me like a doormat.

In terms of likes and dislikes, I love plushies, docile cats, having out-of-nowhere insightful and meaningful conversations, squishmallows (I cannot sleep comfortably without hugging one), drinking tea, any desserts, and wrapping myself in a warm and thick blanket like a burrito (since I have a terrible cold intolerance). I do not like dirty environments, tardiness, unnecessary disturbances, sudden problems, and people who jeopardize any group activities through their laziness.

Furthermore, in a relationship, I want it to be simply just being each other's safe space and rest. I am quite a private and low-key person as well, so I prefer if we both have hidden sides and many moments that we only know. My love languages are physical touch because I like cuddles, being hugged (like that big hug where I can bury myself on their chest or neck), and hugging people while caressing their hair, words of affirmation when I am comfortable telling what is on my mind, quality time because once they enter my private space, I feel like I will absolutely love doing almost everything with them, even the simplest and most mundane things, and acts on service because I usually take the initiative to do a task that will lessen the burden on their shoulders or simply take care of them on the simple things.

And that is all~ I apologize again if this is too long. Thank you so much in advance, and congrats again!! ♡

Hey there! I hope you are doing well. I had fun reading. You seem like a great person!

Here, after thinking for a while I think that Satan will be your best match.

If you decide to date then,

You Two will visit bookstores, museums, cat cafès often.

Spend a lot of time in the library.

Late night discussions, long talks and stuff like that.

He will read to you and you might just end up falling asleep on top of him.

Will have upset and downs, he is the incarnation of wrath after all. But I feel like you are the patient and understanding one, so you two will figure it out eventually.

Playing with cats is like an everyday routine.

You can do group projects together.

Overall, a pretty much good relationship considering that he is one of the lords of hell.

hi!! i was wondering if you could do a matchup for bg3 :-D my name is edward and im about 5’0 with a black curly hair that is short and i dont mind the persons gender! im also a trans man. my mbti is entp and im a scorpio. i like to anything to do with art, i love to do it all together. Im also a really big fan of music specifically mcr, tv girl, alex g, toby fox and dodie but i am open to listening to other artists if given a recommendation. Uhhhh i love to eat meat and im not really a big fan of eating veggies i hate eating them but idm potatoes or tomatoes, but i think tomatoes r fruits so nvm. I also looveee learning about history especially ancient times like greek history, i think its really interesting to learn about the past and how things were. i will waste my money on things i love, especially if it’s a show or novel or movie i will soend so much money on it. I'm also rather fond of animals and nature. And my love language has got to be physical affection and quality time. I also love trying new things even if I might have a fear of it, it’ll just take a me a bit to do it. I like to break the rules especially if it’s going against a group of people and or someone. I can be pretty reserved on the occasion but if im with someone im close too or if i feel comfortable enough i can be pretty hyper. A lot of the time though I listen to what people say and often a listener for people. Depending on the person im with and our dynamic i can be quite sarcastic. I can be very compassionate about people and even if someone did something horrible to me I can be rather forgiving unless it was toward someone i love. I am also rather forgetful and often will forget things with people I’ve spent time with even if it’s recent I can forget a majority of it. I have a short temper. Often I will be regretful of things I’ve done in the past even if it was a while ago. I have a rather low self esteem, if I feel like someone is going to abandon me no matter how close I’ll probably be silent about it and wait for a sign that the person still likes me and on rare occasions I will ask for reassurance. AND UH i think that pretty much it thank you for reading this if you are!!

A/N: For you Edward, I’m thinking your best BG3 matchup would be… Gale!

☸ Gale would be a wonderful match for you! He’s more introverted and always interested in learning more about history, be it geographical or magical!

As an ENTP and a Scorpio, you’re a very intense person when you want to be. You seek out intellectual stimulation in your hobbies and your relationships. Gale, a fellow ENTP, would suit you well as he too, values an initial mental connection to a physical one.

That’s not to say Gale doesn’t find you attractive, quite the opposite. He loves your sense of style and your hair. He especially appreciates having another person around camp who understands what it takes to keep your hair tamed when it’s on the curlier side. I know most people think of Astarion when they think of the part member who spends the most time preening, but Gale is right up there with him. After being dumped by Mystra, and infected with the orb, Gale entered a depressive state where he let himself and his relationships go. His insistence on taking time to care for his appearance now is a sign that his head’s in a much better place, and you are responsible for a great deal of that.

Gale loves how excited you get when the two of you discuss ancient history. Not many people appreciate a good intellectual discussion about the everyday normalcies of the ancient Greeks or Romans, but you do, and Gale has never been happier to listen to all that you know. In turn, he shares what he knows of Faerun and its history, especially the founding and workings of Waterdeep which he calls home. Well, that the two of you now get to call home.

Gale is very open and accepting of your gender. He also has a fairly extensive spell list on changing one’s appearance, should you ever want to go down that route. Of course, that’s only if you want. Gale thinks you look lovely, just the way you are. He would never want to change you and is very grateful you’d never ask to change him or his appearance (much to Tara’s chagrin lol).

He is rather worried about your lack of vegetable consumption, however. He swears to you, that he will one day find a recipe full of vegetables that you actually like, just you wait and see. In the meantime, he’ll keep cooking meat-based meals, so long as you keep enjoying them.

Gale is similar when it comes to going all in on something he likes or is fascinated by. (He can’t help it, he is a wizard after all.) Each of you can get carried away in indulging the other: you buy him a very expensive book on magic he’s been eyeing and he’ll buy you something equally costly you’ve been looking at.

Gale’s love languages are the same as yours, so prepared to feel understood and cared for! He loves nothing more than spending quiet evenings alone with you at your home in Waterdeep, the two of you lounging in each other’s arms, just talking about your day.

Gale’s self-esteem isn’t always the greatest either, especially after what happened with Mystra. He tends to think of himself as a burden, and the orb certainly did not help in that regard. But on his journey to save Baldur’s Gate, and on his relationship journey with you, his esteem has lifted greatly. Gale understands you’re in the same boat he once was in, so he has no problem reminding you how much he loves you, and just how worthy of love and respect you are.

He loves you for you, there’s not a single thing he would change.

do you have any rp pet peeves?

i have a few, actually!! just note that these are from my experiences so i get not everyone might feel the same.

quantity vs. quality. kudos to you novella writers who can do that all day every day, but if i'm getting a 4-8+ paragraph reply that's all description, internal monologuing, purple prose, character background, etc. and there's very little to nothing external for my character to work with or continue pushing the thread forward... kills me. i'm all for my partners writing as much or as little as they need to so long as there's a substantial back and forth.

passive replies. my tolerance for this has gotten so damn low lol. rping is a collaborative experience –– a thread shouldn't be one person doing all the work to keep things interesting and move the scene along while the other just sits there and reacts for the entire ride. yeah, i can forgive this sometimes where it seems right for the character in certain circumstances, but there's a limit to it before i just drop the thread because i'm sick of pulling all the weight on it.

insta-shipping / face chasing. i answered an ask about this the other day that pretty much says it all but reiterating cause it's a pretty big peeve of mine. can't stand people who insta-ship for whatever reason. it's one thing if there's a whole background developed and players still write out the build up into it compared to first thread on the dash and they are already/have become a couple. and even worse when it's because of fc purely and not because of chemistry. i'm so sus about people who come to me wanting to thread or plot because they love my face claim and not my character.

godmodding / power playing / metagaming. i feel like everyone can relate to these. don't write my character's reaction for me. don't try to cheat in a combat or other scenario with my character. and don't assume your character knows something that's ooc knowledge with either a half-assed explanation that makes no sense or no reasoning behind it, especially without asking me first.

i'm sure there's a few more but those are the biggest ones right off the top of my head. what about you anon and tags?? anyone have any rp peeves they want to share??

Superstar survival was a nice insight into the beginnings of Junho (and Taecyeon & Chansung but their scenes were too short). He really is a hard worker and doesn't give up. Yet he is still surprised when the trainers pick him or he gets high votes etc.

Also the votes he got was way higher then the other 2 kids, he was such a scene stealer that I am surprised that he was not popular at the beginnings of 2PM. I'll see why I guess when I watch them.

Another moment, the kid (I am so sorry I don't know his name) looked so relieved when Junho had to switch teams and come to their side. I found it actually cute *pats his head*

the brief moments we saw Taecyeon, he seemed to have a lot of charisma even back then, yet he seemed very friendly and easy to approach. i especially liked his scenes with the elephant.

tell me, how sweet is that congratulory back hug?

Chansung was also so sweet, running to stand next to Junho at the end of the show to hug him. I am glad they took these two as trainees even though they were eliminated in the show.

like... I am not sure who is more nervous here, Junho or Chansung? (also forgive the extreme low quality, this is what we have to work with. then again I am also a pepi, I am trained in 144p)

So that concludes my watch of Superstar Survival

Congratulations to this sweet kid who has great talent and worked just as hard to polish them.

Bonus: the way Junho does a double take, boy couldn't believe he won. I could not pass this moment! Also I noticed that whenever he is surrprised he just freezes.

Hullo, I’d like to request a One Piece matchup with a man 20+ years.

My pronouns are Xe/Xem/Xirs and I’m a Gemini/Cancer Moon and an INFJ-A.

Personality-wise I’m always striving to be thoughtful, creative, equitable, and appreciative of other’s differences. I’m autistic and have schizoaffective disorder but have found the right cocktail of pills to keep me functioning well. When my social battery is low and/or I’m talking to strangers I’m cautious and a little terse, but once I let my walls down and get a positive reception I loosen up considerably and can infodump and listen to other’s interests for hours.

I’m a very avid friend; I often give gifts to those close to me in my social circle and check up on them often offering whatever support I can. The closer I am to my friend the more I want to platonically cuddle but will refrain if it makes them uncomfortable. I do my best to surround myself with people who are kind, caring, and supportive along with a healthy dose of like mindedness.

My love languages are gift giving, quality time, and physical touch.

My interests include solarpunk, writing, drawing, sewing, crafting, swimming, reading, learning languages/linguistics, sociology, category theory, and psychology.

Some of my likes are weighted, minky blankets, the colours yellow, magenta, cyan, and brown, teeth/fangs, ferrets, raspberries, oversized sweaters, and ladybugs.

I dislike loud and/or sudden noises, strong perfumes and scents that aren’t food, and unwelcome touch. I abhor cruelty, arrogance, and willful ignorance.

Does my question button work now?? I literally cannot see it myself so I question it’s existence… But I since my asks button works just fine, I will require everyone from now on to refer to my Masterlist/Guidelines from now on. If you do not see your request within the next week of making it, please dm/pm me to confirm your ask made it through. I will reiterate this again in my next update to my pinned post.

You’re putting me into quite a pickle here Anon, it’s a pirate’s world after all. Creatures tend to be violent, but let’s see if this matchup works well for you…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I match you with…

Smoker!

——————————

Now, this is a bit of a peculiar meet. It’s not everyday that you get kidnapped by a ragtag group of pirates trying to use you as leverage in order to supply themselves for the GrandLine. Unfortunately but fortunately for you, they don’t get everyday when they’re all engulfed in smoggy smoke that propels far away from you. Captain Smoker meets you coughing up a fit trying to get used to the putrid smell of cigar smoke as the man who just saved you is smoking two at once. Not a great start as you run away in order to breathe cleaner, less polluted air. Not being able to be in the same area as him, you simply write a letter of thanks and give it to a wandering stationed marine asking it be delivered to him. It took awhile, but you guys did eventually start talking

First thing this man does is take one of his officers, Tashigi, to help him find a subtle yet effective cologne to wear around you. He doesn’t want you to be overly caught up on what he smells like, so he tries his hardest to not smoke around you and not smell strongly of any aroma products. But you have to be able to give him some slack here and there, his Devil Fruit is literally smoke, he can’t help that. You might be able to forgive him here and there, but the smell thing I see is your only problem that you might have fights about, at least in the beginning

After that barrier was crossed, you have a very loyal yet workaholic man for a partner. He doesn’t try to do anything that may jeopardize his position with the Marines, but you’re definitely are going to have to get some help with Tashigi to get him to spend time with you as a date or two if he’s too caught up in work. Outside of that, he’s very dedicated in making sure you’re very much appreciated in his life. Spoils you here and there, but it’s mostly that quality time he loves the most

However, his work in the Marines puts him out to sea when you both least expected it. No one was really expecting another ragtag group to cause the commotion that they did. However, this did lead to your first separation with Smoker. He was far too determined to capture those pesky pirates in order to think about the damage it would cause to your relationship with him. Don’t worry, this isn’t where your story ends!

He only left with a letter and a weighted blanket in his absence that smelled of him in a not so horrible way. He write that he must pursue the pirates that were in town not too long ago, the fellow Marines would take care of you in his absence. However, I believe this would only cause you to create greater personal growth. This will effectively allow you to join ranks of the Marines due to the fact that you were able to take on small crowds of rowdy pirates all by yourself, but you definitely need more training to really hone in on those skills

When you see Smoker again, he’s a Commodore from the Alabasta incident. This is probably where you get into your second fight, the ignorance of your relationship and the arrogance in the belief that you weren’t able to handle it. It gets heated, but by the end, you’ve both worked something out as you literally went the stretch to train and be able to be stationed under his hand and the rest of the G-5 crew. He’s not going to make the same mistake twice now since he’s gotten a bit more information to work with and got his head repeatedly bashed in with the information Tashigi and Captain Hina that he can’t dump his partner for work and expect it to be normal. His defense in his case was that you were not strong enough to protect yourself in the GrandLine and didn’t wish any harm to come to you, but least he’s getting a second chance

Admires you for your intellect and strategies that you come up with to defeat or interrogate your opponent. Since you’re a pacifist of a person, you rely on your words being the most effective tool in your arsenal to prod and poke at the minds of pirates in order to stop them in their paths, ultimately hindering themselves useless to a pair of cuffs you place on them. He doesn’t outwardly approve, he ends up agreeing with this method if said criminals are worthy in his eyes for redemption. Rehabilitation of former criminals is often on his mind, he’s just not sure he’s the right guy to lead that project forward

Doesn’t mind that you often are hanging out with other crew members instead of him, he trusts you completely and truly and would never question your loyalty to him. But really does cherish moments when you’re sleeping together or just relaxing in the ocean breeze. It’s rare that he ever does relax, but it’s you we’re talking about. He’s willing to commit to you, you are one of the only people who understands him and vice versa. You can keep a conversation about what you’re studying going and he wouldn’t get annoyed, he even finds himself implementing those tactics you talk about into his combat and finds great results in them. He will be forever in debt to you, the person that changed his life from the moment he walked in on it

Most would think that you’re couple dynamic is rough and cruel, but in truth they’ll find that you are the good cop needing that push for a better outcome and him the bad cop needing someone to regain him in and show him another method. You will have fights, but more importantly, you will be able to overcome it together as partners, hilariously enough, in crime

=================

The follow ups are:

Charlotte Katakuri

And

Trafalgar Water D. Law

===================

That’s all folks, until next time!
