#jealous!saruman

[abitchnamedtia]

Imagine Saruman being jealous.

Here's my work for @soplezhuy !

I finally finished it omg and I hope it's good !

I'm sorry if it's not what you've imagined of if it's ooc but I'm not the best connoisseur of Saruman x/ (I'm really scared to post it lmao)

Infos : Saruman x gn reader

Warnings: small smut at the end, jealous behavior (not really healthy but we've seen worse)

Everyone knows that you two are in a relationship. It was this type of matter that was never discussed. Elrond, Gandalf, Radagast and Galadriel don't seem to care about it. Even if they're finding it weird due to the age difference. But you and your lover couldn't care less.

Saruman has always been protector of you. You're his beloved, the person he loves and cares about the most. It's logical that he'll make sure you're safe.

But recently you've visited Gandalf quite often, as he was a friend of yours. And it drives him mad. At first, he didn't really understand why, until he started to recognize the bitter feeling as jealousy. He hated all the time that you had with Gandalf.

So, next time you dressed up to visit him, when you told him goodbye in the throne room, he asked you to stay at home with him. Where you belonged. Pretending he needed you for some tasks. But you politely declined, you promised to Gandalf to drink the tea with him. But Saruman didn't take "no" as an answer and started to tell you how pathetic Gandalf was to try to have you for himself, and mostly how stupid you were to fall for that. You couldn't understand why he said that or why he was so angry. The bitter words he used weren't usual for him. You tried to just go away, but he locked the door in front of you and all the others as well.

" I will not let this man have you. You're mine. Do you understand!?"

Now he really started to scare you, and a tear rolled down your cheek. Seeing this, Saruman immediately calmed down and tried to approach you.

" My beloved... I wasn't trying to scare you. I only wanted to protect you."

"Protect me from what ?! Gandalf is a dear friend of mine. His yours too !"

"I know. I was only..."

"Were you.... Jealous ?"

Your lover sighted and resumed with no response. Even if you didn't need one. You slowly approached him and took his hand.

"Gandalf has always been quite fond of you my beloved."

"But he's not the man I love. You are."

He gently put his forehead against yours.

"Don't you trust me..?"

" I trust you. It's him..."

" I love you Saruman. I'll always will."

You tenderly kissed him. You truly meant what you said. He was the only one for you. He kissed you back and pushed your body against his. Right now, he needed to feel your warmth and your body against him. He gently took you to his throne, where he sat and put you on his lap. Saruman caressed every inch of your body that he could feel. He needed to make you his here and now. He stopped the kiss to bite your neck.

" Who are you belonging to?"

"To you... I'm yours"

"Say it again."

You repeated that you were his and only his as he completely undressed you. He pulled up his robes, and you started to ride him just like he wanted, letting love confessions out between your moans. This time, Saruman's grip on you was not tender like always, but possessive. You were his, and you'll always be.

WIZARD WARNING. You are all gonna have to stop pondering your damn orbs. The Gremlin is blessed by the narrative to cause your downfall unless you have a great sword and beard and your name rhymes with Baragorn

[howling-medic]

I have had no Adderall and too much caffeine, and I have been thinking. A dangerous combination, but a very fun one. I have reached many conclusions about many things, but the thing I have become most convinced of is that almost every single character JRRT has ever written is some form of little shit and/or chaotic gremlin. Here are a few outlined. Please add more:

* Aragorn: *gestures wildly at the entirety of the Prancing Pony chapter* *points emphatically at the houses of healing exchange with Merry* need I say more? The man may be Isildur’s heir, but he is a little shit. I love him for it.

* Gandalf: my man straight up just had no real reason for choosing Bilbo to be the thief for thorin’s company. He could not explain himself even once. Then there’s the whole Beorn debacle. Then there’s the dramatics with how he returned to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. Chaotic gremlin. Little shit.

* Merry and Pippin: they’re getting clumped together. I don’t think I need to explain.

* Sam: he may be the most sane of all of these fuckers. Truly. He’s the most pure hearted and least chaotic. He still was trimming the verge a little late, and he was in cahoots with Merry and Pippin. Chaotic gremlin adjacent

* Bilbo: do I need to explain this one? He used the One Ring to hide from annoying relatives. Little shit and chaotic gremlin are his defining characteristic traits

* Legolas: danced atop the snow while everyone was drowning in it. Declared he would attempt to get the sun to come help them. Let Aragorn listen for horses he could literally see and describe. Built his own boat 120 years after the last one sailed and BROUGHT A DWARF

* Gimli: his entire personality is silver tongued snark with a large side of intelligence and violence. He was going to be mad at Merry and Pippin for dying because of the energy he put into finding them. I’m pretty sure he proposed counting kills to Legolas.

* Frodo: chaos. Thinks he’s going to just venture off into the woods by himself. Little shit. Thinks nobody is going to realize something is up. Love him. He’s bad at both

* Boromir: tries to oppose the wisdom of people literally over 150 times his ago. Kinda little shit energy, but he didn’t do it to be contrarian, so it’s the weakest entry so far

* Faramir: let’s talk about henneth annun. Let’s talk about the way he let Sam freak out only to start laughing. Dude is a little punk, and I love it

* Eomer: declares Aragorn not Strider but Wingfoot. I can’t explain his placement on this list really. He’s just chaos gremlin vibes

* Eowyn: my sweet horse girl. My caged warrior. She is chaos gremlin incarnate as driven by wanderlust and desperation. Truly my kindred spirit. I will die for her. You know she was wonderfully insufferable and a pain in her brother’s ass - in the best way.

* Melkor: literally the original little shit. Everything started going sideways because he was a petulant child and then it got worse the more jealous he got. Because the OG chaos gremlin. It just so happens that there are cosmic level consequences when he acts out

* Denethor: falls more under petty bitch than little shit or chaos gremlin. My man was so threatened by Thorongil that he was glad when he left and turned men against Gandalf because Aragorn counseled that Gandalf should be trusted. Just….fuck Denethor…with a cactus.

* Saruman: the ploy with Radagast to get Gandalf to Isengard was 10/10 chaos gremlin energy. Evil chaos gremlin energy, but chaos gremlin energy nonetheless

Alright, with that, I’m out of ideas. I’m certain I can come up with stuff for Galadriel at the very least, but I lack the requisite focus at the moment.

LOTR and Hobbit characters and cats -

Absurd headcanon

Warning : this is not serious. this was made out of whim, late at night. not editing done. Just for fun. And not all of them are funny anyway. You've been warned! - Feel free to add characters and headcanon. I forgot a few : Haldir, Hama, Theoden, Saruman, Treebeard and so on. I hope you will all have fun and play with this! (OC welcome - thinking of my moots with awesome OC).

Cirdan The cats roam freely in the Grey Haven as if they owned the place. Cirdan find them amusing and charming when he gets to pet them. Of course, what he does not know is that they tolerate him because he’s a great fisherman. And a good back scratcher.

Galadriel While there are not many felines in the Golden Forest, each time she is somewhere where there’s one (or two, or three) the cats are drawn to her and vice-versa. As a matter of fact, the cats consider her to be one of their kind. She does not correct them.

Celeborn There is no cat in Lothlorien. On the other hand, when there are cats, he has to tolerate them for Galadriel’s sake. Although, the truth is that they tolerate him because Galadriel shares her bed with him.

Elrond Rivendell had been free of felines for a while. Then, and he never found out how, they began to suddenly appear all around. Mostly around supper. They’re discreet and great pest hunters which he appreciate for his books sake. Although he would never admit it, he kind of like when they come and sleep in his lap while he sips his tea.

Aragorn learned to admire and respect cats as they can survive pretty much everywhere. As king, admits that cats are useful. But he does not like to share their bed with one of them, even Arwen’s pet. On the other hand, he relishes when the pet come in his lap to nap while he is smoking his pipe.

Arwen Since in Minas Tirith, she has adopted a few. Arwen is terribly jealous of their affection. She does not like when she finds out they nap on Aragorn’s lap, pretexting they smell like smoke. Aragorn only smiles which infuriates her.

Imrahil Cats hunt pests in stable, in kitchen, protect grain. He will tolerates cats. But they belong outside. On the other hand, he is actively ignoring the ginger fur transgression living in Lothiriel’s room. Relieved she left with it.

Lothiriel Positively delighted to realize cats prefer her lap to Arwen’s. Brings her pet with her in Rohan. Finds hilarious that Eomer is taking personally its presence in the bed and is jealous of the poor thing.

Eomer Blasted animals. Should stay in the barn and stable to hunt rats and mouse. Not in a bed. And certainly not between him and his queen when he wants privacy. Eomer is convinced the thing is plotting his demise. Always trying to steal his side of the bed.

Eowyn Cats were great listener when she was young. Once, one of them clawed Grima. She was delighted to see her little hero flee alive. Since in Ithilien, she has begun feeding the strays. She considers a high honor if one of them chooses to nap at her side.

Faramir Admires their independent spirit and intelligence. Consider them like a good blade: useful and dangerous. Will never admit he is a bit afraid of them. But if Eowyn loves them, he will say nothing. He is just relieved she does not bring them in.

Denethor Never could stand the little buggers. Tolerated them when his wife was alive but that was the best he could do. While he recognizes their usefulness he is terribly allergic to them.

Boromir Does not seem to care about the furry things. Until he is home. Where an old stray is waiting for him. Gave him food and a warm place to stay. Melted the first time the old cat came to sleep with him. Will never admit the cat makes him happy.

Gandalf Keeps a safe distance between him and them. They tend to appear out of nowhere and they don’t even have magic. He can’t even buy them with food.

Bilbo Find them amusing when chasing his smoke rings, love to watch them sleep in the sunny spot in the garden. Chase them away when they hunt the butterflies.

Sam Stupid animals. They dig in the garden and poison the flowers. And they don’t even like potatoes.

Frodo Good reading companions. Not very trustworthy with food. Love to climb in trees with him. Really good nap companions.

Pippin Cats are the evilest things after the ringwraiths. Did you see their eyes when they follow you in the night? Did you hear them meow after you in the night? That and their claws…

Merry Fights hard not to laugh each time Pippin speak about cats. Got a few scars out of the whole adventure but well worth it when seeing Pippin’s terrified face.

Thorin There is only one king under the mountain. And it won’t be a cat!

Thranduil He is the only one with the right of being fabulous. And this is HIS throne! Cats are not welcome in his palace.

Gimli Dwarves hate pests. But wild cats roaming unchecked underground? Unacceptable. What do you mean, he has adopted one? Don’t be ridiculous, he only keeps it in his room to hunt the rats that would eat his bed linen!

Legolas Never really got close of cats while in Mirkwood. Can’t understand why people would want to sleep with them when they're doing such noises. What was the great idea for Gimli to call his cat like him anyway?

Gothmog and Lungorthin

🔥Gothmog🔥 First Balrog of Melkor Second commander of Angband Fire Umaia Shapeshifter

If your name's not #Ecthelion you better run, cause this very powerful Maia now changes into his beast form to serve his master.

Ever since I heard about them for the first time I was fascinated by the Balrogs. There are different theories about them, all are legit, nothing's quite canon.

Gothmog is an Umaia, the Umaiar were Maia that fell for evil from the very beginning of their existence. The Balrogs like Gothmog or Lungorthin followed Melkor and served him ever since as his warlords and guards. The Balrogs live in the depths of Melkor's realm in the sees of lava. Their beastforms were made out of rocks and fire, by Melkor's own hands and they live to destroy.

Gothmog is an explosion of physical strength and violence, before Mairon joined them, he was the first in command in Melkor's army. Brutal and ambitious he follows his masters' commands, loyal to death. The biggest and strongest Balrog of all was feared by all beings of Arda, but one legendary and brave Elf was able to defeat him- Ecthelion!

Lungorthin 🔥 changing into his beast form- a powerful and terrifying Balrog!

Lungorthin was Melkor's Balrog bodyguard and never left his master's side - except during War of Wrath when Melkor got defeated. He dissappeared and was never seen again. Some say he was killed, others that he hides somewhere in the deep with other creatures of Melkor that managed to flee.

My hc: Lungorthin was a loyal servant to his Vala in the beginning, but he secretly started to doubt him when he fell in love with Curumo more and more. He started to become jealous of Gothmog, who's Melkor's favourite Balrog and started to wonder how it could be to stay in Melkor's place …to be his own master or even the ruler of the world and no servant anymore. In the end this was the reason why he refused to die for Melkor and decided to wait in the shadows for a chance to return to the world and have a comeback with Saruman as his leader.

[edennill-archived]

Just realised my headcanon of Saruman being terribly jealous of Mairon in Almaren, to the extent of secretly rejoicing when the other switched sides, actually makes it doubly ironic when he later tries to out-sauron Sauron in the Third Age.

[warrioreowynofrohan]

For the first day of Silmarillion Daily - some thoughts on the Discord of Melkor.

The Great Music is a theme where Ilúvatar provides the broad strokes, and the Valar are encouraged to improvise upon it. The purpose of Melkor’s discord is not creativity, but in a sense the opposite of it - “to increase the power and glory of the part assigned to himself,” and thus to give one voice greater dominance over all the others, rather than all working together in their own ways. And that dominance and lack of creativity is the first effect: some are discouraged and stop singing, while others match him rather than following their own thoughts.

The Music is something of a speedrun of what Melkor later becomes - at the beginning he wants more power in order to make his vision a reality, but as he continues fighting against anything that is not his own music, he ceases to have any real vision of his own, but only the object of drowning out everyone else.

it was loud, and vain, and endlessly repeated; and it had little harmony, but rather a clamorous unison as of many trumpets braying upon a few notes. And it essayed to drown the other music by the violence of its voice

This is a pretty good encapsulation of what evil does to a person who chooses it, on a pattern repeated throughout Tolkien’s works (Melkor, Sauron, Fëanor, Saruman): any creative impulse or goal is drowned in the desire for power and dominance and crushing any opposition.

For all this, Melkor cannot overcome Ilúvatar’s guiding theme in the music, but as a consequence of this discord Ilúvatar’s theme becomes both sorrowful and more beautiful, the beauty coming from the sorrow. This is also the core theme of The Silmarillion: evil can destroy, it can bring sorrow, but it can never ultimately win.

behold! a third theme grew amid the confusion, and it was unlike the others. For it seemed at first soft and sweet, a mere rippling of gentle sounds in delicate melodies; but it could not be quenched, and it took to itself power and profundity…deep and wide and beautiful, but slow and blended with an immeasurable sorrow, from which its beauty chiefly came….it seemed that its most triumphant notes [of Melkor’s Discord] were taken by the other and woven into it own solemn pattern.

Lastly, there is a sharp contrast drawn between the attitudes of the other Ainur towards the vision of the Children of Ilúvatar, and the attitude of Melkor. The other Ainur are delighted at the prospect of people who are different from them, with whom they can communicate and from whose different ways of thinking and living they can learn:

when they beheld them, the more did they love them, being things other than themselves, strange and free, wherein they saw the mind of Ilúvatar reflected anew

But Melkor, by contrast, is jealous of them because they are different from him, and wants to control them and be obeyed by them:

he desired rather to subdue to his will both Elves and Men, envying the gifts with which Ilúvatar promised to endow them; and he wished himself to have subjects and servants, and to be called Lord, and to be a master over other wills.

In Tolkien’s works, almost invariably, more diversity and variation and creativity is a good thing, and trying to make everything done one way, your way, inevitably leads to ‘making people do want you want’ become the goal that precedes and displaces whatever it was that you wanted to do in the first place.

On another note, it’s fascinating that most of the Ainur other than Ulmo initially find the Sea unsettling (‘because of the roaring of the sea they felt a great unquiet’), even as the Elves will the first time they see it. It’s possible, in line with the above, that part of this is the wild and uncontrolled nature of the Sea; that it is, to Tolkien, the ultimate element of freedom, the thing that cannot be controlled and yet holds no dominion. This also fits with Ulmo’s role as the ‘loyal opposition’ to some of the other Valar, in his desire not to summon the Elves to Middle-earth, and to aid the Noldor after their departure; both or these are in line with allowing the Children of Ilúvatar more freedom to choose their own path.

[mossiestpiglet]

The funniest thing about Gandalf big naturals to me is the way Saruman would have zero chill about it at all he would be so jealous about gandalf having bigger naturals because HE was supposed to be the first of the istari and doesn’t that mean his naturals should be the biggest and grandest????

Meanwhile gandalf is literally just getting high with hobbits

[watercryisdone]

SFW alphabet of Saruman (part 2)

H - Hugs. Likes to hug, but only if it's not in public. He does it when he really needs to… His hugs are quite wide and if you are small in stature (below the neck), you can safely snuggle into his chest, forgetting about pain, suffering and hatred. And if you're shorter than his chest, he likes to make sure you're in his arms, cradling you like you're a baby and he soothes you by rocking you. I - I love you. Only after a long time, when he knows enough about you, has analyzed and trusted you enough, feeling safe around you, then he is comfortable to say it, even if he feels worried out of habit. J - Jealousy. Ooooh, a walking jealous man. No, he's not jealous of every action from anyone, however if anyone ever tries to flirt with you, for example, or get to know you by hinting at adult things, he's bound to get in on it, because no nasty guy or girl or whatever should touch his precious. K - Kisses. Despite his formidable figure and sometimes tough character, he's still gentle enough to kiss you anywhere so as not to accidentally hurt you either physically or emotionally. However, he will gladly kiss you passionately, giving free rein to his emotions for you… Mostly he likes to kiss your forehead and hands, as if you were his mistress/master, but if he likes it too much, he is ready to kiss your cheeks, lips and neck - in general, where he knows exactly what is sensitive, and therefore a good place for his passion and love… He likes to be kissed on the hands, but not against kisses on the neck, in his sensitive but secret place. L - Little ones. He doesn't care about children. To him, like other people, they are just a future resource. In fact, he's exactly the type of man who doesn't want kids. Seriously, he generally thinks that it's better to love without children than with them. M - Morning. Saruman is quite the lazy one… He always likes to be taken care of in the morning than taken care of from him. If he doesn't sleep much, he enjoys either looking at your sleeping beauty or teasing you in any way he can, being careful not to make too much noise so as not to wake his dear servants early. N - Night. He's a fan of watching the stars before bed. He'll be happy to tell you things about them to make the night more interesting. If both are awake, they try to do their own things, sometimes distracted by caresses and love.

will you pay my therapy bills? when will you pay my therapy bills?

you are just jealous that a feminist (Saruman) is trying to improve the lives of Orc women...

Saruman Redemption Thoughts:

(Thanks @janepixx for the comment)

I think the key first step is to remove the one person he still has power over i.e. Grima. As long as there’s someone below him he still has a semblance of control, which needs to be stripped away. Whether Grima would actually leave of his own volition is a separate question

I think if Treebeard hadn’t let him slink away out of Orthanc he might have stood a chance of making Saruman regret his path, they used to talk a lot when the Istari were first wandering Middle Earth, though it’s implied this was more of a one-way information-gathering than a conversation, so they could hark back to those earlier days. I think Saruman is proud enough that you would have to appeal to the fact that he did have power before his turn to Sauron, a more organic power based on respect that was earned rather than racketeered. I think you’d eventually get the message across that he was more powerful giving advice and guarding from harm than he ever was fielding armies as yet another disposable tool of a dark lord who doesn’t really care about you beyond your material use - which may be a difficult mindset to crack given his education by Aulë.

The plain fact is I don’t think Saruman can cope with thankless tasks. He thinks the orcs have affection for him, he’s jealous of Gandalf’s influence in the shire and privately trying to figure out what’s so good about it (importing pipeweed), and wants to be seen advising the high and mighty. If you drop him down too many pegs it won’t end in redemption via humiliation, it will just end in resentment.

So I think you’d have to turn him to small tasks, in his mind, that are nonetheless praiseworthy. Show him that the more intricate, more impressive, more powerful things that he can conjure are worth less than the ones that help people. I think a Saruman that turned his enormous intellect to the small victories of growing things, agriculture and irrigation and architecture, would emerge a very different person far less likely to repeat his mistakes than any threat or humiliation could have made him

[theivorybilledwoodpecker]

Spoilery theory about the Dark Wizard

I no longer think he's Saruman. I thought he might be when all we had were trailers, but I don't think Saruman would be so openly evil at this stage.

What we know of Saruman is that while he was always jealous of Gandalf and perhaps always power hungry, he at least outwardly portrayes himself as friendly. Even those who never seemed completely certain of him didn't think he would join Sauron until the events in the Fellowship. This means he hid any darkness well for centuries.

The Dark Wizard is very openly using dark magic. I can't see him hiding it or passing it off as lighter than it is. Even if Saruman was that evil at that early stage, I don't think he'd be as open about it as the Dark Wizard.

And since Radagast would never do stuff like the Dark Wizard does, I think the Dark Wizard has to be a Blue Wizard.

Chapter 11

*Fast Foward*

"No contact! Where are my kids?" Splints shouts as he paces back and forth.

"If only I had a clue as to where they are. Someone send me a clue. "

A bright purple portal opens and outfalls April.

"Anything, a hint a whisper,"

April's muffled calls for attention go unnoticed, and so do her thrashing movements.

"A well-timed crash" Splints goes to investigate this well-timed crash and sees it is April, and she's tied up.

He sits her up. "Do not worry, I will free you with my helping toe,"

He lifts his leg, exposing his disgusting long a** gangrene nail, and uses it to remove the gag from her mouth.

"First off, ew, second off WERE DOOMED! Draxum captured the guys and Aqua!"

April explains that Draxum demands the last piece of the armor Splints has.

*Purple Turtle transition 🐢💜*

The boys are locked in a cage hanging several stories high in a cave of sorts that's under a creepy castle tower. (What is it with villains about cold, dark, and dank-looking caves, huh? Also, the tower is giving Lord of the Rings vibes. Anyway...)

The guys go over what went wrong, and the word grandchildren is thrown around. 😳 Oh boy.. but Raph quickly changes the subject.

Maybe we didn't stay true to the Hamato ways, but Dad taught us that wisdom is within us. We need to focus and meditate deeply, and our path will be revealed.

"Oooooouuummmmmsmuuuaaaahhh" (idk). The boys look back at Donnie annoyed.

"Sorry, could you guys hear that?"

*Inside the Saruman, the White looking tower *

Draxum is lying on a massage table with Papa Brutus, giving him a relaxing massage. Under the table is a glowing circle with symbols that emit mystic energy.

"Another excellent idea of mine, bathing in the mystic energy, will give me the stretch to wield the dark armor," Draxum says

Papa Brutus continues to massage Draxum, but when he hints at his legs, being jealous of not getting attention, Papa Brutus almost loses his cool.

It's for the greater evil, the greater evil...." Papa Lui says," Trying to calm him down.

*A few hours prior* 

Unbeknownst to both my dads I was completely helpless being locked in some sort of med bay, several cameras facing me and a red light signaling they were actively recording strapped to a cold steel bed, with a bunch of cords connected to my head recording my brainwaves, a heart monitor, and vials of my blood were placed in a small biohazard fridge if I showed any sign of resistance or use of my powers I would be shocked not like a dog collar or tazer shocked. More like, it sends you to the pearly gates and back kind.

"You can't hold me here forever. My friends will come and save me, and they'll kick your wanna-be sheep butt!" I yell defiantly

"OH, I doubt it, but even if they do escape, they won't be able to recognize you." He chuckles darkly as he releases an Oozesquito

⚠️Trigger warning description of horror, seizures, blood, and disgusting transformation stuff ⚠️

I struggled with my bindings and tried to call upon my powers but to no avail. Hit tears stream down my face as the pain of the bite and the ooze flow through my bloodstream. But the unexpected happened. My body started rejecting the ooze, and I started to seize thrashing harshly against the table. A horrible gurgling sound comes from my mouth, and froth starts to form at my mouth. Soon my pupils turn fry9 my sclera turns yellow, my teeth sharpen, bones break and reshape and my torso sprouts purple tentacles that throw themselves about the room violently breaking glass and punching holes into the walls and floor, as I scream from the excruciating pain the sound turns into something I don't recognize it felt like another voice was coming from within me. Several of the cameras were knocked over, but a hidden camera remained untouched.

Draxum watches in horror and awe as to what is happening to me. Obviously, the heart monitor was going crazy as were my brain waves. Unfortunately, he was a good distance away from the reach of my rampaging tentacles.

I pass out from both physical and mental pain. My subconscious takes over and vomits up ooze. As soon as it's expelled from me, my subconscious mind makes my eyes glare at Draxum, an evil smirk is plastered on my face, and a chilling voice speaks.

"We will meet again in due time,"

Slowly, my body returned to its original state, but now my clothes were ripped to shreds, and the brain wave monitor showed no brain activity for a few seconds, then activity soon returned.

"Interesting," Draxum says thoughtfully as he leaves me on the table and exits the room.

*Meanwhile, at the Lair 💚*

Splints and April are searching for the last piece of the armor, while a teapot is whistling from the steam escaping it is revealed that Ole' Skully as Splinter calls it, is the one and only sought-after piece.

"I can't give them the teapot. It'll doom humanity." Splints says torn

"But they have your sons and Aqua." April retorts

"You're right. My family must come first. We will give them the teapot."

"But that'll doom humanity," April shouts.

"You're not helping April"

"Maybe there is an answer in those dusty old scrolls of yours", April suggests

Sadly the advice the scrolls give is not helpful at all. The ancestors pretty much state that the boys are a sad but necessary sacrifice for the safety of all humanity and it was an unforeseen circumstance. That was a huge no-no and the scroll was promptly shredded.

A plan was made to come save us, April comes up with "Team B" which includes Franken Foot (Raph's Sparring buddy), Bullhop (The poor hotel bellboy), S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N (Donnie's robotic son) and Todd(.....oversized hamster lol).

While the boys are busy meditating and Raph has a trippy vision, they come to realize that the Hamato Clan way just wasn't working. Dabbing was done and classic Raph smashes his way out of the cage.

"Wait a second. You could have done that the whole time?" Leo says, shocked

Team B....was a bust... they immediately fell for a trap except for April and Splints, of course. The boys make their way to the armor while April and Splints are ambushed by Foot Ninjas but they are quickly defeated by Splinters Macho Gazpacho Fury Kick which awes Papa Lui and he's also hit with the powerful kick which knocks both dads out. Draxum being the cocky bitch he is is sitting on a throne.

"Ah, the great Lou Jitsu, I guess the camera adds five feet," Draxum says cockily and his gargoyle henchmen Huginn and Muninn laugh at the burn.

"I am here for my kids, you will release them to me immediately" Splinter shouts

"That won't be happening, unless you have given me what I want" Draxum counters.

An intense fight starts in a very Lou Jitsu style, but to add a huge blow to Splints Draxum drops the boy's weapons before him. (Low blow man, low blow).

"We can do this two ways, you can give me the final piece or torture your sons until they tell me where it is....you know what there is a third option...."

A portal opens, and my limp and badly beaten body crashes to the ground with a sickening thud.

"Mmmmmm" I moan quietly once I make an impact on the stone floor, blood starts to run from my now split-open brow. Line.

"Aqua! No..."

"She's an interesting specimen shall I continue subjecting her to my experiments" Draxum says with no emotion as he presses a button and my screams of pain echo throughout the open space.

Tears fill April's eyes and start streaming down her face as she stares at me, clamping her hands over her mouth to muffle her horrified scream.

Splinter glares at Draxum and flashbacks of when I joined the family go through his mind, seeing my happy face in his mind now replaced with my vacant pained expression. He grabs Leo's katana and it appears that he is going to continue the fight but with a swish of the sword, a blue portal opens, reaching in and grabbing the last piece of the armor.

Slowly opening my eyes, vision still blurry, blinking my eyes to clear my vision. It clears just enough for me to see him handing it to Draxum.

"Splints...no....don't...." I say quietly as I try to reach out to him

"I'm sorry Aqua, I don't want anyone else to get hurt"

The boys are a few floors below us fighting their way to the armor, my screams finally reach the depths they are at which causes the boys to panic and Donnie takes off running ahead of his brothers.

"Aqua..." Donnie worriedly says as he climbs the many flights of stairs.

When they reach where we are their eyes scan the area seeing their dad, April, and myself on the floor.

"The final piece of the dark armor?" Raph says confused

"My boys..." Splinter says when he hears his eldest son's voice but the happiness is short-lived as he watches Draxum attach the last piece. He tried to stop him but it was too late.

An explosion of power happens that sends me and Splinter flying. Donnie rushes to catch me, which he does but the force of my limp body pushes him backwards to land on the ground but he holds my body to stop me from further injury. The dark armor attaches itself to Draxum and the gang looks on in horror.

"At last I can end the human threat, once and for all" Draxum exclaims

"Not if we have anything to say" Raph shouts as he goes to punch him but is flicked in the head and it pushes him backward knocking over his brothers and myself.

To show off his sheer power Draxum cuts two pillars in half and spears the ground with them.

"OK, question was he always this strong?" Leo asks

After Draxum was done admiring how powerful he is...I think he's trying to compensate for something...my dads once they recovered from their concussion were in awe and blinded by their devotion to their master and not realizing their beloved daughter was in a terrible state. They bow in respect calling out to the Master.

"Shredder we await your orders," Papa Brutus says

"Shredder? I'm not Shredder, I am Baron Draxum. With this armor do you know what I will do to the humans?"

"Uh shred them?"

If I had the strength to move my body I would facepalm so hard, my face would probably have a hand shape dent in it.

"No, what's with you and all this shredding? I will destroy them!"

"This is not what the legends foretold, somethings gone wrong," Papa Lui says while jumping through a portal with Papa Brutus.

Draxum makes his exit by commanding the suit to turn into a drill and it shoots upwards to the surface. Which sends a tone of rocks to fall onto us. Raph lifts the rubble off Splinter. Raph, Mikey, and Leo check to make sure he's OK while Donnie is staring at me trying to get that scream out of his head. Gently playing my hand on his with a smile, I gesture for him to go check on his dad as well. Reluctantly he does, when his back is turned my smile falters, and close my eyes to stop the room from spinning. April sits next to me holding my hand and watches the boys.

"Dad, are you hurt?" Leo asks

"Of course, I am hurt"  Splints says exasperated

"We shall miss you, father!" Donnie says while shoveling dirt on him in an attempt to make me laugh. Which makes me chuckle quietly

"I'm not rest in peace hurt, I'm rest on the couch hurt" He exclaims

Splinter apologizes to the boys which causes the boys to tear up, stripping themselves of their serious Hamato Clan attire, putting on their colored masks, and grabbing their weapons.

"Now go be your awesome selves"

Mayhem appears, snuggles April, and appears next to me rubbing against my cheek gently which tickles. Donnie summons his drill that had his backup tech. They zoom off away from the cavern Donnie takes one last look at me and April knowingly nods at him.

"Don't worry we'll take care of Splints and Aqua. Make him regret the day he decided to cross us"

Donnie gives his signature evil grin and flies off following his brothers.

*At a baseball stadium*

Draxum appears and starts destroying the place, people start scrambling to the exits,  climbing on top of each other with every man for themselves mentality.

"Draxum we are sick of you messing with people kind"

You're going to face a brand-new opponent that's back to their old self

"The teenage turtles who are ninjas and mutants"

"Really? Is that the best we got? Cuz we've had so much time to think of a way to say that"

While the boys were fighting, April snuck into the ranks with the Foot Ninjas in the announcer's box. Overhearing that there is a flaw with the armor she types a message on the jumbotron letting the boys know about her discovery. But before she could finish she was found out but luckily Mayhrm popped in with Splinter and myself, and we knocked out the Foot Ninjas. We both regret that decision as our bodies start aching, Mayhem pools us to the field to safety and I start wrapping both our bodies with bandages.

"Guys, I was trying to tell you the armor has a flaw" April shouts

Donnie has a flashback to when they broke the teapot skull head and shoved a Jupiter Jim figurine into the hole. Using his mystic goggles he finds the exact location of said flaw. The boys and their goofy selves come up with a plan to distract Draxum which works beautifully.

Leo at the last second while being tightly coiled in the clutches of the snake tentacles opens a portal and a single baseball bounces off the helmet towards April she uses a bat to hit a home run which pushes the figurine into the helmet and the armor rejects Draxum.

A huge explosion of pink colors and goo spews everywhere. While everyone celebrates their victory I get the sneaking suspicion things aren't over yet. I soon a dark and evil force surrounded me, it almost felt like I was being crushed by sheer power. I look over to the pile of armor and it starts to reattach itself, its towering and menacing figure stands before us.

Papa Lui and Papa Brutus bow to their master and rejoice.

"All hail the Shredder!"

A/N HEY guys sorry for not posting for a while. Been a bit busy but I've decided to have an upload schedule I'll either post on Saturdays or Sundays. I may or may not have a chapter for every week but I'll try to post more often.

[thiswaycomessomethingwicked]

Yet another writing ask: 2, 3, 26, 33, 40 please!

Five million years later I am answering your ask! Thank you so much for sending it along!

I'll focus mostly on our beloved snake man, as relevant/appropriate.

2. Anything that you'd like to write but feel like you're unable to?

There are a lot of fanfic ideas that I don't feel like I have time or energy for them, or to do them justice.

For Grima - there's a half-written sequel to Be Not Afraid of Plenty/Wondrous Works where Eomer's getting married and Grima's getting up to no good and isn't at all jealous/feeling abandoned/experiencing the many uncomfortable feelings that can exist within the human condition. Why would you think he is??

I want to write something of a creature feature with Grima and Eomer (one of them is a Creature, idk, something fucked up and monstrous) but I'm not sure I'll ever have time or, more importantly, motivation/energy.

3. How would you describe your writing style?

Literary and poetic, for sure. Perhaps a bit florid and purple-prosey/try-hard at times.

26. What would you describe as OOC?

hmmm I'm not sure. Grima's one of those characters where he can be written in a variety of ways that are all supported by what we have in the canon so I'm not sure there's a lot of OOC opportunities.

I mean there are the basics: he should be mean and hungry, he should be sly and cunning, he should be a coward/have minimal to no backbone, he should be drawn to power and wealth, he should be a thief (if we're doing book Grima, at least), he should be someone who takes a mile if you give him an inch etc.

But how all of those traits manifest, and which ones are the dominant traits, is all pretty loose and very much up to the writer. Because it's like, are we writing Grima at the height of his power? If we are, there's some arrogance to interweave into him that is pretty thoroughly stamped out by the time we get the scouring of the Shire. Are we writing Grima only from the movies? Are we writing Book Grima? Post-Saruman Grima? Post-Saruman and with Frodo for a month? Six months? A year? What kind of childhood and family are we giving him? etc. all of these things would impact him and change him as a person in some manner.

For me personally, I always bump on him as a character if he's not sassy/doesn't have a bit of an Attitude & Authority Problem. But that's because I really go hard on Book Grima who is sassy and snarky, even when he's beaten down thoroughly by Saruman. Like, the depths of that dark point on his life, he's still a snarky bitch. It's in there, it's just been stomped on and beaten into something like submission. But give him some care for ten minutes and man that attitude of his will come springing back up.

However, I understand why people don't include that part of him. It's very book-based, it's not how he's written in the movies, and it's one of the aspects of him that's a bit at odds with the remainder of his character which is very grovely/boot licking/dick sucking/let me make a thousand excuses in a whiny voice etc.

I might have a Lot of Thoughts on Grima's characterisation...

33. Give your writing a compliment

I think that I'm a rather good world-builder and thinking things through, and working out details, is a strength of mine.

40. Write a 9-word fic 17-word fic.

Elderflower mead is Saruman's voice. And surely, it's no bad thing to listen to something so beautiful?

(nine words is hard! no space for the language to breathe)

Thank you!!

Magic the Gathering: Tales of Middle-earth (Commander)

Red and Multicolor reprints

Since we have reached such a far-away point, maybe it is time to talk about how the Five Colors system was included into the world of Tolkien. I know, I know, it is quite late after several dozen posts to get into the subject, but hey, if you went this far you must be rewarded.

As usual, the designers of MtG decided beforehand what would be the "color rules" for the world, before looking at each character and element individually. As a result, in the MtG color wheel, dwarfs and goblins alike are of the Red color, and the Rohirrim are too, to show that they are driven by things such as desires, passions, revenge or brutality. The forces of Sauron and Mordor oscillate between Black and Red, the corrupting evil and the bloody violence - the Orcs are notably divided in black and red. Elves on the contrary are halfway in Blue and halfway in Green - creatures of knowledge, intellect, wisdom, superior minds and grace, but also beings deeply tied to nature, living deep within the woods, and prone to an ambiguous, mischievious, some woul say alien mindset. Blue is also the color of all things watery, from ships to the "Watcher in the Water". The Ents are of course all Green, being living trees, and the Nazgûl all Black - alongside other vicious species serving evil (Fell Beasts, Shelob, the Crebains...). The Easterlings and Haradrim oscillate between Black and Red, opposing the men of Gondor and Minas Tirith who are full White. The Giant Eagles are also full white, and so are all the things related to the "happy endings" of the Lord of the Rings (the White Tree, the Crowning of the King, the weddings, etc...). Interestingly, the ghosts of the Oathbreakers/Grey Host are also included in the White - to separate them from the other undead spirits that are more malevolent in nature, such as the Ringwraiths or the Dead Marshes, all Black.

As for the Hobbits, they are halfway in White and halfway in Green - White for being purer beings, filled with goodness, kindness and qualities (and becoming heroes in time of needs), Green because they are simple countryfolks living as farmers, gardeners and the like. Though some Hobbits are shown to become Black when their greed or gluttony takes over them - they are rare, but they still exist.

This choice of colors reflect itself in the evolution of the main characters of the novel. Gollum, as an antagonistic corrupted monster, is Black, but when his Sméagol side takes over, what is left of his old Hobbit goodness, he becomes a mix of Black and Green. Aragorn, as "Strider" starts out as a mix of Red and Green, but as the leader of the Fellowship becomes Green/White, and finally as the returning King is all White. The Balrog is the perfect mix of Black and Red. Galadriel oscillates between the Green and the White. Frodo begins Green/White as a simple Hobbit of the Shire, but as the hero of the tale turns full White. Merry and Pippin both start out full Green and through their adventures become half-White (Pippin's other half is Blue while Merry's is Red).

And both of the Wizards of the story are strongly associated with the color Blue, due to being magical entities of wisdom and knowledge. Gandalf the Grey is full Blue (with a bit of Red from time to time, to show his fiery powers and fierce fighting skills), and then as Gandalf the White becomes... Well, all White. On the other side, Saruman also starts out as all Blue, but he is the "bad" side of Blue, manipulating, lying, scheming - and then he devolves, as Saruman of the Many Colors, into a convoluted mess of Blue (manipulating cunning schemer), Black (ambitious, petty, jealous and vicious antagonist) and White (he is the dark side of order, wanting to impose control and tyranny over all things). The only other Istari we get to meet is not Blue at all - but it is Radagast, who is full Green, for understandable reasons.
