Maeglin Lómion

*He has to laugh at that comment*

You mean more things than my hair?

*He plays with a tresses that had to be sacrificed to the fire the other day as his hair grows longer again*

Maybe my cousin should be glad I am reluctant to visit his realm 🤔

I am sure she would be happy if you went to go and talk to her. She will not bite

*Maeglin doubts it, taking his experiences with the other Mordorians into account, but he nods*

Good 😌

And still you married one 🤭

You think me brilliant? Maybe I am merely chaotic

*Maeglin thinks about Goli's suggestion for a moment*

Makes sense. Unconsciously I may already know what intrigues me most
Such a good idea, my love *He tenderly kisses her cheek*

What would I do without you?

I doubt Adar would mind if you take a sneak peek *Maeglin is amused about the child-like curiosity Elrond displays. Another side to his cousin. One that shows that despite his responsibilities he is still young after all*

I will not tell on you. Promise

I have finished all my commissions. And there lies the problem...
If I still had one that would be my priority

*breathes deeply trying to calm his thoughts*

I do not know where to start

I do not really know *deflates*

It is like I got all these ideas in my head and I cannot decide which to tackle first

*a bout of random anxiety. After being relaxed and serene for a good week, it was only a matter of time until it showed up again*

Well that's the times I wear it. Gifting myself to my precious spider again and again 😏

At least this time the things written about me will not be excruciating exaggerations 😌

I just want to be good (?)

That chapter is no joke. Mandatory reading for the foreigners👀

*Paces around his workshop*

I got too many ideas in my mind. Where to start? 😶

*sighs, getting stressed out and anxious because he wants to do all at the same time*

i deserve your hatred... i don't mind if you hate me.

Noo, Elrond. What you call fighting is just banter between cousins - nothing serious. And we have apologized when we crossed a line. We are adults, you know 😌

Do not mention it, I am looking forward to show you both

Exactly. So let us ask our cousin. He may have a pokerface, but he need not say much 😌 I will KNOW just by vibes
*Maeglin gives Elrond a conspiratory smile. Sometimes it is such an advantage to not merely be a mind reader, but more so an empath*

*is being really silent as he basically never wears underwear. Broom closets or not*

👀

You have my harp 😌

How about a flower crown craft stall? If maybe @nazgulno3.bsky.social provides an assortment of flowers? 🤔

Mmmh, I allow it

*He nods* They do. It is extremely reassuring to me. You may want to ask Goli about her own experience as well so you have both sides of the story

*Maeglin always gets defensive when called 'adorable'. He is not. He is a bad fruit, prickly and unpredictable. He has a reputation to keep up*

...carry out their orders about me after all *It is a joke, a dark one. Maeglin does not believe they would kill him for sharing this tidbit*

Ohhh, but while you are here
*Maeglin retrieves a little wrapped up bundle* The necklaces for Adar and you

It may as well have been *Maeglin admits* for them to wear it so many years after being sundered from the Elves would be quite impressive, but no...if anything it is Uruk culture, I would say

*Maeglin smiles gratefully*
Thank you, Elrond. Let us not give them reasons to decide to...+

Pic of a piece of parchment with a text written in scribbled handwriting and capital letters. The content of the text can be read as follows: "Others think “Uruk women” do not exist. Probably because for us, uruks, anatomy differences do not assign social roles; they merely play a part in reproduction, and there is nothing hierarchical about that. Raising children, caring for the elder & ill, hunting, farming, forging, building, cleaning, fighting... these are tasks for everyone and worth the same, regardless of personal gender identity. So yes, "Uruk women" exist. others just assumed they were seeing "uruk men" because of their own biases."

Black and white illustration by myself, posted in my art account @lyblacktea.bsky.social as "Daughters", depicting a group of five female Uruks in different attires and positions.

Happy, combative and solidary #internationalwomensday for every woman in Middle Earth and beyond who is living in patriarchy-rooted cultures🖤

A statement from my children, particularly those who might categorize themselves as Uruk women🦾

Believe me, when it happens to you, you will KNOW it. It is like...feeling the presence of your partner with you all the time

*Maeglin pauses, then crosses his arms in front of his chest*

Adorable?

Nothing about me is adorable

*He pouts, looking at Elrond with fiery eyes*

Moriondo with reddish hair, clothed in a light robe, crying. The silhouette of a clawed hand grabbing towards them

Hunted by memories, shackled by the past. A Moriondo's vulnerable private moment

This happened to me. When I spent my first night with Goli, my fëa became entangled with hers in a way that will tie us together always. It is much more intimate than a marriage I would say

Do not laugh at me, but I believed it my whole first life 😅 My naneth told me so, and I would never question her. Now, I know it to not be necessarily true. Thankfully

But there are circumstances where the fëar join in such a way that you know there is not possibly anyone else for you

+

How about a spring fever celebration?

You did not make me uncomfortable *Maeglin reassures his cousin and pats him on the arm*
I do have a question to you though. How do you see the tradition that sex means marriage? 👀
