#mairon #sauron #silmarillion #tolkien #cosplay #some more end-of-First-Age angst ♡ #i really enjoy thinking about the period of time after he rejected eonwe's proposal and before he appeared as annatar in eregion #having to rebuild quietly; somehow find and consolidate all his orcs and other servants that were scattered across the continent #having to learn the layout and lands of a brand new world; keep up with the elven politics and who has established themselves where #working entirely alone; no thuri no gothmog no other high ranking former angband folks he can rely on #and all in secret and with the very recent memory of how melkor and all his works were brought down #rebuilding himself as well in the process #driven by genuine love for middle earth and by anger/spite towards the West and by compulsion/perfectionism; unable to stop #must have been very lonely and bitter work #hits all the best angst spots ^^ #hira cosplays mairon
