[ID: a digital drawing of two busts of naminé, from kingdom hearts depicted in different styles, in a light yellow background. the one on the left with a dark lineart has detailed nose, mouth, shaggier hair, and soft shadowing. the other on the right has color lineart, detailed eyes with frontal lashes, a less prominent nose, thinner brows, harsher shadowing, and is slightly more cartoony in nature. naminé is depicted with sectional heterochromia on either eye, her left eye has a bigger brown section with the right eye has a bigger dark purple section. the left bust is pointed at with "regular style" in cursive and the right one with ""evil" art style" in capital block letters. /End ID.]

Always thinking about a genre aware Maglor kidnapping the twins as a particularly self-destructive way of escaping the story he’s trapped in. I think he’d absolutely be the type of person to appreciate the supposed “poetic justice” of his “foster sons” eventually killing him—it would strike a nice balance between satisfying the “audience,” aka whatever part of him that believes it would be appropriate for him to have such a cruel end, and establishing that he wasn’t pure evil despite everything (the children he raised destroyed him = he had enough decency to raise them to be capable of striking him down).
Even if the twins’ own ideas about the concept of kinslaying would inhibit them from giving him a “clean end,” an absolute exit from the story, he spends his days during and after the War of Wrath secretly hoping for some kind of recompense from them. A singer views the world in terms of linear stories, requiring endings to give it meaning. He orphaned the twins and raised them to stand up for themselves, he taught them everything he knew, surely they will repay him by making him into a defeated villain and thus finally introducing some degree of fairness into his life-narrative?
(But Elros could never confine himself to rules and conventions, and Elrond hasn’t spent years teaching himself to be a healer only to be trapped in the avenging-angel role that his captor/mentor has ascribed to him. The next time they meet, a sizeable part of his initial kindness stems from spite. Maglor took the twins because he was looking for a sufficiently poetic end. Elrond feels sorry for him, but he also adamantly refuses to give him any of the satisfaction.)
