Irmo Lorien & Este the Gentle, Lady of Healing

by Rene Gross

[cilil]

I like to hc that, much like us (the fandom), the Valar also have their blorbos and special little guys.

Manwë is (canonically) besties with the Vanyar, Ulmo with the Teleri, Aulë with the Noldor, plus of course his Dwarves. Varda is the fan favorite of all Elves and loves them (she got so excited about them in Lost Tales, it was so cute).

Oromë brought the Mearas as a gift and got super excited that an entire kingdom of horse girls was formed. He loves the Rohirrim and sometimes disguises himself as one of them to sneak into their hunting parties. Vána is in on it too.

Yavanna and Irmo absolutely adore Hobbits and blessed them with a great love for quiet countrysides and the charming ability to just enjoy life and its good things. Irmo also visited them in disguise and brought pipeweed to make friends. Aulë and Yavanna ship Bagginshield.

Nienna, as usual, loves everyone, but has a special soft spot for Orcs because they need someone on their side. She probably adopted them already and forced Námo to go along with it and let her have them whether he wanted to or not.

Lorien and Este / The Two Trees

Este and Irmo are dancing under the light of Telperion and Laurelin as some of their Maiar float around and watch them. They are anticipating the arrival of the eldar in their new lands.

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)

Up until now, I've imagined Miriel's body in the Gardens of Lorien as if she was arranged in a coffin. Her hair is neatly braided and her hands arranged on her stomach, she lies on her back and her skin is white like a corpse.

But wouldn't it be way more devastating if she really looked like she was only sleeping? Her fingers twitch from time to time, her cheeks are rosy, and her hair is tangled in the leaves and moss around her. What if she alway lies slightly differently than when her family last visited her, and they will never figure out if she truly moved or if the Maiar of Irmo are playing tricks on them?

What if her eyelids flutter from time to time, like she will wake up any moment now?

You Lack a Seat. The Elves + Guest Stars React

Tags: uh, random nonsense?

Author's Note: This is what I did for the 'other' and I attempted the style I've seen @a-contemplation-upon-flowers use sometimes. So, let me know how I did! Also, disclaimer, I am a firm believer that most of these characters would actually just get you a chair or offer you theirs because the elves are traditional and well mannered folk (most of the time).

Taglist: @asianbutnotjapanese

Would find you a chair 

Feanor, Maedhros, Carathnir, Erestor, Curufin, Elrond, Ecthelion, Finrod, Turgon, Fingon, Gil Galad, Namo, Fingolfin

Would kneel on the ground to prop his leg up as a makeshift chair

Glorfindel, Fingon, Elladan, Beleg, Irmo 

Would have you sit on his arm rest 

Celegorm, Curufin, Thranduil, Namo, Sauron

Would offer you their chair 

Celebrimbor, Maglor, Elrond, Elrohir, Erestor, Eonwe, Lindir, Glorfindel, Maeglin, Finrod, Fingon, Legolas, Mablung, Manwe, Ulmo, Gildor, Finarfin

Would set their cloak out for you to sit 

Mablung, Glorfindel, Elrond, Maglor, Maedhros, Elrohir, Finrod, Gil Galad, Gildor, Celebrimbor, Finarfin, 

Would have you sit on their lap

Glorfindel, Elladan, Celegorm, Sauron, Thranduil 

Would have you sit at their feet 

Melkor, Sauron, Eol, Thranduil,

The Dreamer and the Healer

For @ainurweek

[violecov]

Manwe goes to Hooters thinking is a nice birb restaurant, and has the worst time of his life.

Based on this post by @cilil So much funny ideas XDD

[rhinocio]

you: wow wish Tolkien's books were easier to read me: how do you feel about full nonsense, except as an epic

[cilil]

You know, I must say I find it funny that Tolkien tells us Ainur can shapeshift without any limits stated pretty much and assumes that we believe him when he claims only Melkor and Mairon used this for a cute little bit of mischief.

You can't convince me that Irmo and Estë aren't swapping genitals every other day for, uh, medical reasons, that Manwë isn't sitting in trees in bird form to watch his favorite Elf ships kiss and that Yavanna and Vána aren't camouflaged in the forests and meadows for similar purposes and to throw those spiky nuts at people they don't like.

Ranking the Valar by how much I hate them.

12: Lorien/Irmo - Idk why, but I kind of vibe with him. His only fault is being Mandos’s brother but he didn’t really do anything to piss me off himself. He seems dreamy & has a nice garden.

11: Orome - He’s cool but he’s still a Vala (who are objectively horrible) at the end of the day. Gets points for not going out of his way to make the Feanorians lives worse though & giving Celegorm a cool but disloyal dog.

12: Aule - Thank you for the Dwarves king! Unfortunately he’s married to Yavanna who I can not stand.

11: Nienna - Her heart seems to be in the right place. I like her.

10: Este - I don’t speak ill of healers on this blog! Even though she failed to heal Miriel I guess, she still made a bigger effort than everyone else.

9 & 8: Vana & Nessa - I just don’t think about them to be honest.

7: Tulkas - His purpose for existing is to beat up Melkor but he’s not even perfect at that. What’s wrong with you dude? Were you asleep when Melkor was making Feanor & Turin’s lives hell?

6: Yavanna - Her entitlement makes me seethe. I guess she did create the two trees but she basically gave away the light for free, she can’t ask for it back. Not the worst though, but I still don’t like her.

5: Vaire - Girl it’s nice of you to let Miriel live with you and all but why the heck were you like “but what about Indis's feelings” when Finwe was talking about how he wanted to give up getting reembodied for Miriel. This ain’t about Indis, why do her feelings matter?

4: Varda - Hallowing the Silmarills was such an a-hole move. The hallowing isn’t even fair, it’s just about who Varda wants to have the Silmarills. Does she think THINGOL is pure hearted? The Silmarill should have burnt him to a crisp.

3: Ulmo - Nothing short of a salty b!tch, thank goodness he’s single because I’d feel bad for anyone who had to put up with him. And why does he like bland ass TUOR so much while hating talented icons like the Feanorians?!

2: Manwe - He’s the 2nd fakest creature in existence after his big brother. Feanor doesn’t want your tears, where were you when your brother was murdering his dad, stealing his work, & previously harassing him for years non stop?

1: Mandos/Namo - F*ck this a-hole. At least Manwe has the excuse of being canonically stupid. He’s just an ass for the sake of it. And what’s his beef with Feanor? Free my king, all his faults are because you decided to shove Indis into his life & allowed Melkor to go free.

The actual #1: Melkor (obviously)

The Valar and Men Body Swap

AN: Very unhinged. Shitposting. Do not read if you do not want to loose your faith in my humanity. Clearing my drafts.

Disclaimer: For research purposes, our team paired each Vala with some selected Men/Women. A study to experience the other end of the spectrum. No Vala or Man was harmed in this study.

Manwe and Ar Pharzon:

Ar Pharzon: standing on Valarian soil flicking off Manwe on the opposite shore

Manwe: Has...huffs do mortals breathe so heaving gasping awfully?

Concerned eagles continue flying around.

Ulmo and Tuor:

Tuor: This is cool and all but am I supposed to be hearing all these fish chatting around me?

Ulmo: No, you can shut that out. Just will yourself to do that jazz hands

Tuor: So how do you like it? stares weirded out looking at himself from a higher angle

Ulmo: floating on the water with shades on Lovely

Nienna and Turin

Turin: sobbing aggressively I cannot stop. By Eru, someone take Beleg out of this room or I will flood this place.

Nienna: flexing muscles How wonderfully solid secondborns are, and she never went back to her form, Neinna the morose but jacked Valier

Beleg: equal parts aroused and confused Call me when they're normal

Mandos and Beren

Mandos: I've had Luthien as my wife, for a day but if anything happens to her I will kill everyone in this room and myself.

Beren: knitting next to Vaire this is awesome.

Varda and Andreth

Varda: (the chosen day landed on the day of Andreth's period) I feel rage. Shut up Manwe. And Eonwe, can you not breathe so loud for once?

Andreth: ha💸ha💸ha💸ha💸 laughs in Aman rizz

Aule and Isildur

Eru: Aule, put the darves down.

Aule: No

Isildur: Currently being dragged around by Yavanna I don't even go here

Irmo and Beor

Beor: Lounging in Silver Lakes nice place dude

Irmo snoring
