Melkor - Tumblr Posts
Angbang in the Tma-verse
Mairon would be such a good fit for the Beholding with his whole eye motif, but I also think he'd sucker punch Elias on sight just for daring to insinuate that the eye should be green instead of his customary red.
The cult of the lightless flame would be Melkor's jam though. Destroying things other people hold dear is his whole thing, Melkor would absolutely be down for it.
Olorin attempting to get Melkor to stop destroying everything based on my headcanons from this. Not pictured: Melkor picking Olorin up five seconds later and punting him towards Almaren like a sack of beans
Mairon meeting Melkor in Utumno
the one trait Manwe and Melkor have in common is that they are massive gossips. the only time they get along is when they're telling each other the latest rumours they've heard. Manwe snuck into mandos to gossip with melkor during his imprisonment and Melkor regularly gives captive elves gossip to tell namo when he kills them so that he'll tell manwe. Manwe never thinks to use this to help the elves in the war against Melkor
Things that happen in Angband
Melkor forgets he needs to make his fana shorter and either bangs his head on every doorway or just smashes through them.
Gothmog has this problem too, but Gothmog has learned to preemptively blast doors/doorframes/walls/orcs
Mairon leaves shed fana around the fortress because it wasn't quite right for the work he wants to do so he just made another one. As a consequence at least twice a day some poor orc is left convinced that he's dead and the elves have snuck into the fortress
Thuringwethil attempts to snack on Melkor's Favourite Prisoner. This is not allowed, but she'll get there someday
Manwe sends letters. Or maybe sacrifices. The eagles are tasty
Maedhros learns new ways to curse. It's not like he can make anything worse by insulting Mairon's organizational system.
Dark Lords 😮
I am currently learning about the Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien and this moment of Morgoth just absolutly stuck with me, so I had to paint him :)
Bonus:
Ps. Sorry about the quality, my new Laptop didn't let me sent the files to my phone so I just took a picture of it
Oath of Fëanor by https://hehuihehui.lofter.com
Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean, brood of Morgoth or bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth, neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, dread nor danger, not Doom itself, shall defend him from Fëanor, and Fëanor’s kin, whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh, finding keepeth or afar casteth a Silmaril. This swear we all: death we will deal him ere Day’s ending, woe unto world’s end! Our word hear thou, Eru Allfather! To the everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth. On the holy mountain hear in witness and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda!
—The Annals of Aman, §134
Lady of Mercy & Lord of the Fates; in the Gardens of Valinor
Tristan and Isolde, Neuschwanstein Murals, by August Spieß - 1881
Even after all the sorrow he brought her, she still begged for his release, for what he had been once. Her pity never made any of them less, and she never stopped seeing the good in him, although little it was, just as he never cursed her, as he did with others.
I am a sucker for their dynamic, Lady of Mercy & Lord of All Evil? Yes, please.
My drawing of Morgoth from Tolkien’s The Silmarillion.
Morgoth vs Fingolfin in a nutshell
angbang artists will drop the most jaw-dropping piece of artwork from the silmarillion that you've ever seen, that is borderline biblical, and go "d'awww sweeties :')"
