And then Melkor had to deal with said babies sleeping in their bed.

Headcanon that Mairon has always been the more stoic one of the two, that he keeps Melkor in line and on course when his master gets distracted, and that he always stays on task and refuses to be distracted by anything.

But the moment he sees something that’s furry and has four legs, he goes “squee”

Melkor has used wolf puppies to make up for arguments on several occasions and just brought some in because Mairon likes them on others.

Mairon eventually ended up with a whole pack and he’s an absolutely doting dad to his babies.

*Cultural note: In our day and age, Apéro can be described as something like the "cocktail hour of the wider Alpine region" with (sparkling) wine, mixed drinks like sprizes, and little snacks. It's popular in e.g. France, south-western-Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and maybe parts of northern Italy.

In my head canon Melkor and Mairon invented it, as their alternative to the Valars times for Miruvórë. Also, Melkor prefers heavy red wines, no matter what time of the day.

Average experience reading the Harrowing. I swear this happens at least once a chapter.

That‘s probably how orcs were made.

„I‘m bored“ must be the most dangerous words you could possibly hear in Angband / Utumno.

Hiiiiiii :DD Sending this as an ask bc I feel like it’s been a while since I sent you one of those lol.

What do you think the Dark Lord’s favorite ways of showing each other affection are?

Besides this, I mean.

Ahhhh but what am I to pick now that you took the best option off the table? (Kidding. But maaaan I'm so happy I put that bit of nonsense into your brain haha dragon silliness is always a win!)

I think for Melkor it's physical affection of all sorts. Kissing Mairon on the cheek, wrapping an arm around him in public, hugs, holding hands, being cuddly in general, back rubs and massages (Am I saying this because Mairon works hard all day, or because my own back hurts? who knows! Probably both!!!) To me, Mairon is the sort of person who doesn't really care for getting compliments. Both because he already knows what he is and isn't good at and genuinely does, knows his worth and the worth of his work, so he does not feel the need to receive reminders, AND ALSO because he is hyperaware of how easy it is to get on people's good side by complimenting them first and then asking for a favour or something of the sort. To him it's more important to actually see proof that others in his circle genuinely enjoy his company. I know there are a lot of fanon depictions where Mairon is depicted as hating Melkor for being too handsy/physically affectionate, but I think Melkor's extremely averse to touch in most instances so him being physically affectionate towards Mairon is a great way to show that he genuinely enjoys being around him and also trusts him enough to be this comfortable around him. (And also it's a sort of "OMG GUYS LOOK HE LIKES ME BACK!!!!!!!" which is honestly probably a first for him hahaha.)

From Mairon... Well, I am a "Mairon brushing and/or braiding Melkor's hair" truther at heart. "Melkor's hair is longer than Mairon" is the one piece of semi-popular fanon I'm going accept with no further questions because it's great. But braiding takes long enough when your hands are perfectly functional and your hair is shorter, so I imagine it'll take a looot longer when you're working with a physical limitation/disability and have long hair. So Mairon helps. Because he wants to. And he likes patterns. And he likes making his hubby look pretty. And sometimes he's a petty bitch who likes them to have matching hairstyles. Mairon also likes fixing Melkor's hair throughout the day. Because it's adorable, and people who call partners doing that "annoying" are wrong.

But also compliments. Because Melkor is a bitter, angry old man, and for him everything he's heard early on had to do with how bad he was or how wrong he was or how everything was his fault somehow, despite it literally being part of Eru's greater plan. When all you've heard is how bad you are and how everything you do is terrible/the literal cause of the world ending or whatever... Yeah, I imagine Melkor LOVES being told nice things from time to time! <3
