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.

Mairon: Melkor made me his lieutenant because of my tactical skill, intelligence, creative prowess and natural talent.

Melkor, deadpan: I made Mairon my lieutenant because I’m hopelessly in love with him.

📜 ✨FAQ for Tolkien Fairytale & Folklore Week 2025✨

🗓️ When is the event?

December 1st – 7th. It's a weeklong celebration of Tolkien-inspired stories through the lens of fairytales, mythology, folklore, and epics.

💡 What kind of content is welcome?

Fic, art, edits, moodboards, playlists, meta, poetry, cosplay, crafts, worldbuilding headcanons — anything inspired by Tolkien’s works and the theme of fairytales and folklore!

🌍 Do I have to stick to European mythology?

Not at all. This event welcomes inspiration from global folklore, mythology, and oral traditions — from Irish and Norse tales to West African legends, Middle Eastern epics, Indigenous stories, and beyond. Middle-earth is vast — so reflect that richness!

📚 Which Tolkien works are allowed?

All of them — The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Letters, and any part of the legendarium. Adaptations are welcome too.

📅 Do I have to post every day?

Nope! Post as much or as little as you like. You can use a single prompt, combine multiple, or post late — this is a low-pressure event.

🏷️ How do I tag my work?

Use the main tag #TolkienFolkloreWeek2025 in the first five tags of your post (on Tumblr). You can also add your work to the AO3 Collection [will include link when it is open].

🧚 Can I reinterpret existing myths using Tolkien characters?

Absolutely — that’s part of the fun. You can retell myths or fairytales (like “Hades and Persephone” or “The Wild Hunt”) using Tolkien characters, or frame Tolkien tales in those narrative styles.

📝 Are original characters or AUs allowed?

Yes! As long as it’s Tolkien-adjacent (set in Arda, inspired by the legendarium, etc.), you’re welcome to explore.

📏 ✨Rules and Guidelines✨

Be respectful. No hate speech, bigotry, or harassment.

Use the tag #TolkienFolkloreWeek2025 so we can find and boost your work.

Credit sources for music, poetry, or artwork not your own if included in edits/playlists.

NSFW content should be tagged appropriately. Make sure it's behind cuts and includes proper warnings.

No AI-generated writing or art submissions. That should be clear in itself.

Late posts are welcome! Don’t worry about time zones or being a day behind — the spirit of the event is creativity, not deadlines.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to send a private message or an ask ✨

I drew the dork lords eepy :]]

Also: them but with different lighting, because I can never decide on blend modes :P

nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them

Mairon: Babe, I need to borrow Grond. There’s a huge spider in the living room. 

Melkor: Mai, can’t you just use your shoe or something? I know you don’t like spiders but that’s a bit excessive, isn’t it?

*Mairon grabs Melkor and drags him into the living room*

Melkor: *sees Ungoliant* 

Melkor: 

Melkor: Grond is in the umbrella stand in the entryway. Ancalagon is out back with Thuri right now if you need him as well. Now if you don’t mind me, I have some business to attend to.

*Melkor runs away screaming*

[vassalsofdeceit]

an attempt at drawing almost every named character in the silmarillion (minus a bunch of Men characters bc i didnt have designs for them, as well as assorted minor elves like salgant or elenmire + the valar and most maiar cuz im still redesigning them) 😙

been really busy these past months but i worked on this on and off in-between (you can see a process gif here!!). since ive got a bit of free time for now, ill try to get back to being more active :D sorry for disappearing out of the blue again but happy almost half a year... wait wdym we're almost halfway through 2025 already...?!?! ToT

edit: just in case there is trouble viewing the picture in high resolution (idk if tumblr is compressing the quality or anything haha), here is a link to it uploaded on pixiv where (i hope!!!) there should be no problem 🤞
