What are some the weirdest Sauron concepts you've come across in the fandom? Or maybe just some weird ideas about him you have? I love off the wall character interpretations, and I'm relatively new here, so yeah.

Hmmm... this is actually quite tricky... especially once you consider the canon for Sauron. Shapeshifting Demi-God, that sometimes spends time as a vampire, a werewolf, is really good at fighting with song but not so much with his fists, thinks it’s funny to call a giant man-eating spider his “cat”, started a human-sacrificing cult dedicated to his dead/banished former boss, which eventually resulted in an entire island civilisation being drowned beneath the sea by a God who was Done With Sauron’s Shit, broke off part of his soul and put it into an extremely powerful piece of jewellery but stupidly made it a piece of jewellery that’s actually quite easy to remove from his person, once yielded an entire fortress because a woman set her dog on him and then scolded him into submission, in one version of the story he is literally a cat with a chef called “Meowle”, appears to be giggling/laughing/chuckling in every scene that he appears in, has a hilarious Skype Palantír call with Pippin of all people, is a major drama queen who stood on top of a temple in the middle of a lightning storm knowing full well that God was Done With His Shit but thought he'd laugh in his face anyway, once thought he was the greatest wolf to ever live that was described in a prophecy and then got his ass handed to him because he was decidedly not the greatest wolf to ever live.

Like, I don’t think you can get much weirder than what Tolkien already wrote about him, if I’m honest!

Last chance to participate in the Tolkien Fanfiction Research Study!

Hi! I’m just telling everyone I know who reads or writes Tolkien fic to please consider participating in a research survey! (Which, I’m realizing now, @roselightfairy​ actually sent to me first, so credit where credit’s due, I suppose.) The study is run by two fan studies scholars who are also long-time Tolkien fic writers & consumers. 

Info & Survey HERE or @tolkien-fanfiction-survey​.

The survey closes on March 31st, 2021.

Please reblog, DM, and spread the word!

EDITED TO ADD: 
Some people have asked questions about if they’ve done it before should they participate now. I wrote to the researchers for clarification. You should participate in this survey EVEN IF you participated in the 2015 survey. The only reason you should NOT participate in this survey is if you ALREADY filled out this very same survey–the second iteration–linked above. Per researcher’s reply: This is indeed the second iteration, and we’re hoping that at least some of the people who participated in 2015 will be back this time as well. :) Yay longitudinal designs!

Below the cut, I’m tagging anyone I follow who might want to participate or signal boost. Sorry for being weird about it since I don’t talk to most of y’all, just creep, but… I’m a researcher myself so I just feel very passionately about supporting others in their data collection, lmao.

EDIT: Sorry I confused guys before, painting the prosthetic the same as the skin color was a bad idea. So yeah I made his prosthetic a different color and more doll like. Next time I should probably just leave the prosthetic out or make him look like Captain Hook -cries-

Rough draft of Maedhros searching for the twins Elured and Elurin from tonight’s livestream. 

“There fell Celegorm by Dior’s hand, and there fell Curufin, and dark Caranthir; but Dior was slain also, and his Nimloth his wife, and the cruel servants of Celegorm seized his young sons and left them to starve in the forest. Of this Maedhros indeed repented, and sought for them long in the woods of Doriath; but his search was unavailing, and the fate of Eluréd and Elurin no tale tells.”

The Silmarillion aesthetic | The War of Wrath | The Host of The Valar
But at the last the might of Valinor came up out of the West, and the challenge of the trumpets of Eönwë filled the sky; and Beleriand was ablaze with the glory of their arms, for the host of the Valar were arrayed in forms young and fair and terrible, and the mountains rang beneath their feet.
The meeting of the hosts of the West and of the North is named the Great Battle, and the War of Wrath.

On the House of Fëanor the wrath of the Valar lieth from the West unto the uttermost East, and upon all that will follow them it shall be laid also. Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue. To evil end shall all things turn that they begin well; and by treason of kin unto kin, and the fear of treason, shall this come to pass.
