#feeling soooooooooo normal about will being paralleled to a maiar of aule AND a maiar of yavanna

[aemiron-main]

will being VERY directly parallled to both radagast and saruman with the events of s2 and hopper going to the tunnels and will saving him being identical to smthn that happens w radagast and gandalf (gandalf being hopper) makes me insane. the castle byers password being radagast. radagast and saruman. out of all the characters for will to be paralleled to, you chose Those Two. the choice to parallel will to two characters who are often at odds with eachother and just w radagast and saruman’s whole dynamic and how that might tie into my ‘warm will vs cool will’ theory abt wills vanishing and just AGH. 

dont even get me started on will and rabbit imagery vs radagast and rabbit imagery and radagast’s connection to mirkwood (yknow the nickname of the place where WILL VANISHED) 

and ffs even will being gay ties to saruman. will and his rainbow ship/rainbow gay imagery and saruman shedding his previous title to take on the title ’Saruman of Many Colours’.
