#maiar of manwe

Eönwë (line work)

This is one of my versions of Eönwë. Herald of Manwe, and greatest of the Maiar. But as I see him... stern little bird boy... and I love him.

Unfinished... will post finished one later.

As someone who has been hurt and traumatized a lot by toxic masculinity in real life, I cannot express how much the men in Tolkien's legendarium mean to me (there are many examples I could cite, but I'm going to stick to a few that mean the most to me personally and also don't get talked about as much).

I love how Manwë's first reaction is never anger. He is the Elder King, King of the Valar, King of Arda and he's not afraid to cry in public, to be worried and saddened and therefore show "weakness" instead of fluffing up big time and being angry just so he can pretend to be The Man. He's compassionate and believes in the good in people even when he shouldn't.

I love how Ulmo decided to help those he cared about, even if the people in question were not perfect to say the least and officially he was not supposed to be helping at all. He is neither afraid nor ashamed to care.

I love how excited Aulë was for the arrival of the Children (so much so that he made his own), how much joy he finds in teaching and being creative with others instead of wanting to be The Best At Everything and how he speaks up for other creatives too, trying to help others understand their mindset.

I love how polite and warm Eönwë is, giving a rather cordial greeting to someone who was technically trespassing in his home. He's a hero to me not because a line was included that he's the best warrior Maia, but because he's kind and wise, sparing Maedhros and Maglor because he knew the senseless violence had to end. And yes, I also love how old lore Fionwë was crushing on Arien/Urwendi.

So yeah, just some examples, but these are among the ones that stuck with me.

Olórin served Nienna, Manwë, Varda, and Irmo.

Curumo served Aulë.

Aiwendil served Yavanna.

Alatar served Oromë.

Tolkien never mentioned Pallando’s master/mistress.

[tolkien-povs]

Due to personal reasons, I will be publishing a fic on Mairon giving pieces of advice to really anyone when he comes out of his room and socialises, which is a rare occurrence.

I would not advise you to partake in any of his advices unless you have a lawyer with an ∞% success rate -- essentially, God should be your lawyer if you follow up with Mairon's advice.

This fic will be published (hopefully) within a few days on AO3, and I will link it in a reblog of this post.

Eönwë (option #2)

I went a bit overboard and practiced on his clothing and wings... when I tell you...

I've never made wings with this program and it was a learning curve...

I know he looks a bit stiff, but be kind.

[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.

[ainurweek]

Ainur Week 2023

Their S/O Is Pregnant | The Ainur

Request: ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you will have a wonderful year’s. Headcannons how the ainurs will act if their s/o fall pregnant (all the time of the pregnancy). Love ya ☺️ - Anon

A/N: The year has been treating me well so far, it better stay that way for the rest of the year :) Love you too <3

Warnings: pregnancy

Manwë

❀ The Elder King during your pregnancy is an absolute fluff ball. During this time, he’s going to have his wings on view to keep you protected. He’s shining more than ever, more than when you revealed it to him.

❀ His avian instincts to protect his mate is going to amplify ten-fold. Wherever you go, he’s at your side or he’ll trouble his herald to guard your side.

❀ A hand always on your back and one on your stomach as he coos and rubs your stomach. “How’s my little baby bird doing in there?” “You mean our baby bird.” “...yes, of course, our baby bird...”

❀ When you’re asleep, he’ll whisper over your stomach to the baby about being his baby bird because they’re getting their bird traits from papa over there. He even sings for your bump and gets them accustomed to his voice. It works because whenever they’re kicking, all Manwë needs to do his talk and it’ll ease up.

❀ Waits on you hand and foot and opens all the doors to watch you waddle over like a little penguin. If penguins ever existed and Manwë learned about them, bet yourself you were going to be his penguin.

❀ “I thought I was your little dove?” “Well...have you seen how cute you look when you walked?” Please, put him to sleep on the couch and watch as he pouts like a child and his wings would flop.

❀ Whenever you both sleep, his wings always cocoon you and he keeps you away from the door (bird instincts), even when you’re walking in public. His fluffy wings naturally spread out and shield you and the baby.

❀ Brings/gets you more shiny gifts from Aüle after begging him to make them so he can spoil you. He even designs some of the baby toys and cradles them with jewels to break his baby into shiny things.

❀ Just don’t ever let a stranger touch you, Manwë is ready to snap his bird beak at them. I literally mean peck them or something.

Námo

❀ This might be the first time you’ve ever seen this Vala smile multiple times in one minute. A hand on your stomach and his day are immediately brighter. Even when you visit him while he’s dealing with Mr Feener’s fëa, you make his day less insufferable.

❀ He loves to watch you waddle around, huffing and puffing about your cravings and your little one kicking about. For some reason, his baby is very active and loves to roll and stretch a lot.

❀ This leads him to constantly rub your back and stomach with topical medications or take you on trips to Estë for healing. It’s one time when Námo would clear his entire schedule and tell everyone that you’re more important that the souls.

❀ He leaves the name-picking to you even though you ask him tons of times for input, he’ll always respond with, “Whatever name you choose, I’ll accept. So long as it isn’t anything tragic...”

❀ Expect a happy Irmo constantly around and celebrating that he’s about to become an uncle. He’s forever dragging his brother to dance and celebrate the birth of his child. It does put a smile on Námo’s face.

❀ Since he’s new and unfamiliar with the entire pregnancy period, he is very protective over you and begs for you to stay off your feet as your stomach grows. Námo doesn’t want you toppling over when he isn’t there.

❀ Furthermore, whenever you buy baby clothes and gift them to him, his reactions are the best. Námo would hold up the tiny dresses and jumpers and marvel at how small your baby would be once they got here. When you’ve fallen asleep, he stays up and talks to your bump which gets your baby accustomed to his voice.

❀ During the pregnancy duration, you also got him invested in parenting books which make his head spin when he realizes all the hard work he has to put in. All he knows is that he’s ready to take souls should his child be hurt.

Irmo

❀ This baby knew you were pregnant before you told him from the shifts in your hormones and emotions. He sensed it from a mile away and was just waiting for you to break the news to him.

❀ And when you do, Irmo is spinning you around and jumping for joy of becoming a father. He knows all there is to being a parent and he’s the one that’s going to explain to you the ropes of parenthood. It’s funny because he can be so immature at times, it makes you question his ability to be a responsible parent.

❀ Irmo is the type to want to have everything prepared by him—the cradle, the toys, clothes—even if it doesn’t come out perfect. Cue Irmo holding up a jumper that has the buttons mismatched and a huge smile on his face, “Tried something, I think they’ll love to wear this.”

❀ Sings every night to you and your bump while rubbing topical pain relievers and telling them to relax and let you rest a bit. This leads him to carry you about the place and ignore his duties. He has tons of Maiar; they can handle his business.

❀ Bombards Mandos and sings in his brother’s ear all day about being a father and him being an uncle. Námo is excited as he watched his baby brother become a father and he’s excited to be an uncle. Doesn’t hover that much around you, but when he does, he’ll congratulate you both and bring a gift.

❀ Irmo is dishing out names for the baby left and right, he's also taking yours into account and the ones he throws out are actually good. “Maybe we should name them pumpkin because they’ll be chubby or peaches because they'll be sweet and rosy.”

❀ He is dead serious about the names because he even gets them stitched onto their baby clothes. If you decline, he’ll get all sad and mopey but remembers that he can use them as an epessë.

❀ During the entire time, Irmo is like a happy puppy tailing behind you. His face has a lost look as he conjures images of him, you and your little chubby one.

Melkor

❀ Oh boy, this is a tough nut to crack. Melkor would be pleased and terrified at the same time because the idea of creating life with you in that manner never crossed his mind, so he’ll be taken aback by the announcement of expecting a little version of him and you.

❀ He’ll hover the entire time, keeping a comfortable distance to reassure you that he isn't disgusted or displeased but curious and amused. Watching as you interact with your bump and talk to it. He gets a tad bit soft when he hears you mention him as a father.

❀ His brows are raised to his hairline at the name. “Me, a father? They’ll call me dad or father and not master?” Good thing he said it out loud, so you were able to smack him.

❀ It takes a long while for Melkor to warm up to the idea and hover closer. He usually waits till you’re asleep, so you don’t see him as soft as usual. A hand to your stomach and when your baby kicks, you could swear that the sun was in the room. Arien was jealous for once.

❀ His eyes would be glued to your growing bump, keeping an eye would as your little one grows. Lots of praises of how they’ll be strong like him, and he keeps mentions of world domination quiet.

❀ Melkor doesn’t really engage in much of the pregnancy hype the way you do. He’ll sit silently and listen to you chat his ear off about baby clothes and names or where the baby would sleep. You suggested in the same room with you and his head exploded. “Why the same room as us? I mean I still want to have you to myself...”

❀ Grumbles when you give him the eye to shut his idea down. Melkor does grow a bit more excited on the outside as your due date approaches. Hovering more often than ever, an arm around your waist or leaving Mairon to look after you while he's left to attend to his duties.

❀ You’re going to be the one to point out to him that your ankles are swollen and your back needed rubbing or you have a craving. Oh Eru, the first time you ate one of your pregnancy food cravings before him, his stomach flipped despite being someone who didn't eat often.

❀ Melkor wants all your baby’s attire to be onyx. He even commissioned a little chainmail and armour for them while dangling it with a grin on his face, “They'll wear this for protection.” Leave him alone, he’s finally having a happy dad moment.

Eonwë

❀ Happy and proud dad and even more excited to learn that your recent mating season coupling worked to give you both a little one. He’s a bit like Manwë with calling your little one baby bird, “Can’t wait for our little baby bird to arrive” “Baby bird? Eonwë, have you ever seen a baby bird?” “Yes...” “Baby birds are ugly Eonwë, our baby would not be” “…sorry?”

❀ Oh, he’s singing for his little one and rubbing your stomach nonstop. Cooing and chirping for them to become familiar with his voice and it works whenever they’re squirming around. Eonwë and your little one are highly active and never let you rest until he talks to them.

❀ Rubbing your ankles, legs, and back and applying all the topical pain relievers or taking you to Estë for easing the pain, Eonwë is doing it all. It’s his way of saying sorry for having an active baby.

❀ Leaves a feather or more with you whenever he has to leave for a trip or errand. They tend to hover and send for any vibrations that could be a threat, at the same time, he listens to your voice. Hates whenever he has to and begs for Manwë to send another. His pleas and begs goes up as your due date approaches.

❀ Get every parenting book in all of Arda and sit down to explain while spouting facts you probably didn’t know. His wings are constantly fluffed and shining whenever he talks about his baby or touches your stomach.

❀ Gets a bunch of shiny stuff for your baby because “They’ll have some of my avian traits and what better than liking shiny things!” All of your baby’s products are glittery, the cradle, the clothes, the toys, and even the brush and comb. Give him a break, he’s a puppy like Irmo.

❀ Hand on your back and arms always out to guide you, he’ll go as far as to carry you because he’s a Maia and your weight means nothing to him. Eonwë can pick you up with his pinkie finger, carry you around, and ensure that you never feel insecure about your size. You’re a spoiled baby momma.

❀ Secretly has a bird name in the plan for your little bundle of joy and would use it much to your annoyance.

Mairon

❀ Oh, sweet Eru, he’s just like Melkor but more expressive about the entire ordeal. His brain might go a little dumb at how you conceived as if he wasn’t busy with you over the last few weeks. The mathematician in him will be calculating all the possibilities, which makes you saddened by his response.

❀ Mairon would take a long time before he warms up to having a child. A miniature version of himself will be crying and screaming like those tiny elves and probably throwing up. Oh, Mairon was losing it and couldn't comprehend how casual you were about it.

❀ He’ll still hover around because he wants to keep you safe and sound, but he will be staring at your stomach constantly. You could feel the heat from his stare. It’s not a disgusting stare, more of a confused look “I am confusion.”

❀ From a suitable distance, he would observe your interactions with your bump, how you would speak to the baby, rub your stomach and give little pats. He does grow jealous of all your attention on your baby and no longer him, so he’ll intervene. Through this, he came around to the recognition of having a child.

❀ You would guide his hand to your stomach and have him feel the vibrations and kicks that open his eyes wide. He’s heard all about it, but to experience it was entirely different. The realization of his child interacting with him gets him slowly coming around.

❀ It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, Mairon would simply walk up to you and put his hand on your bump to feel for the baby. When you’re sleeping, he’ll talk to your bump.

❀ You are lucky if he decides to rub your body for pain because he’ll just send you to the healers while hovering nearby. This is the time he gets extra protective because he doesn’t want anything to happen to the baby (and you of course).

❀ Mairon wants to be the one to pick the name while he leaves you to prepare all the accessories for them, though, being the fashionista he is, criticising everything.
