So I Was Going Through My Computer And Found One Of My Old Mairon Designs And I Thought Id Share It Because

So I was going through my computer and found one of my old mairon designs and I thought I’d share it because I have nothing better to do with it at all.

Mairon is, at every given moment, simultaneously mad as a hatter and the most organised person to ever exist. 

He is the type of person to cackle evilly both while torturing someone to the brink of insanity and while organising what deliveries the kitchen needs that month. Does he do it on purpose to unnerve his elf assistants? no-one knows. His paperwork is always filled out in triplicate, but it also always manages to get delivered at the exact moment someone is about to leave and smelling faintly of sulphur.

His study seems meticulously organised at first glance. Then someone actually needs a report and realises they’re organised by what he was eating when he read it the first time and not something...reasonable. It’s a system, it makes a certain type of sense, its just...not the most practical. He knows this. He also enjoys watching them try to figure it out and laughing at them because they can’t wrap their heads around it.

Melkor by contrast is utterly incapable of being even remotely orderly. It is fundamentally against his nature. His study looks like a tornado decided to stay for a weekend and even he doesn't know where anything is. He is the worst at giving protracted speeches- he always ends up on a rambling tangent that goes absolutely nowhere.

But he is very good at looking like he knows what he’s doing. Mairon always looks like he’s a second away from just eating anyone who talks to him, but Melkor has mastered ominous silences. This means people make the mistake of assuming Melkor is competent.

Because Mairon might have logic that is a bit all over the place, but there is a logic to everything he does. He does have a system, convoluted though it might be. And that’s why he works so well with Melkor. He can spin logic out of Melkor’s thought process and turn it into something truly brilliant.

Namo Mandos. I think he’d be able to take a decently convincing eldar form inside his own halls, but as soon as he leaves it becomes more and more horrifying so he tends to wear dark cloaks/hoods so he doesn't scare anyone.

I just impulse bought a pair of stays, so that’s going to be...interesting. If it goes well, I’ll probably use it as reference for one of the valier or something

If anyone wants Tolkien music listen to literally anything by Oonagh- she’s a really good German singer and she does songs in German, Quenya, and Sindarin based on Tolkien’s work. They’re all really good!
