t’s always a good time for Sauron & Adar’s cursed love and Pride month is not exception🌈😎

A combination of the prompts “Coronation” + “Red” + “Morgoth” + “Children” for the #TROPbloodmoon week we celebrated in March (it took a little longer than expected, ahem)🌚🩸
Colour illustration of Adar and Sauron in a dancing position; Sauron is holding Adar by his waist and leaning towards him. Adar pose is limp except for the Morgoth crown he is holding up, over Sauron's head, upside down so that the longer spikes threateningly point down at Sauron's head, who seems to be unaware of the menace. The crown is surrounded by a halo of light with four rays spreading into different directions. They are both gazing into each other's eyes lovingly. Behind and surrounding them can be spotted a crowd of Uruks with bright red eyes, some of them with surprised faces and some others with wide menacing smiles. The colours used are bright reds, pinks and oranges against the coldness of blues and purples.

Comic strips for some of #TROPbloodmoon🩸🌑 prompts: "Morgoth", "Names", "Children".

Giving glimpses of Sauron's name at the time they met and the origin of Adar's name; of the origin and "purpose" of the Uruk children, and also the way Sauron and Adar related to Morgoth.

#TheRingsOfPower
Comic strip in dark blue and bright red colours: -FIRST PANEL: Sauron is kneeling under the shadow of Morgoth, which seems to come from the next panel. -SECOND PANEL: Morgoth appears sitting on his throne in menacing majesty. He is talking through two speech bubbles: The first one, which is overlapping with the previous panel, says: "I HEARD YOU SAVED THE LIFE OF THAT MORIONDO, AGAIN, AFTER A RIOT IN WHICH HE GOT IN THE WAY OF THE WHIP DESTINED TO ONE OF THE URUK SLAVES?" The second speech bubble, beneath the previous one and overlapping with the next panel, says: "WHY DO YOU KEEP SAVING HIM?" - THIRD PANEL: Sauron appears again kneeling, now his head raised and bright eyes open, talking through two speech bubbles interconnected. He says: "MY LORD, ADAR STILL PRODUCES THE STRONGEST URUKS IN YOUR LEGIONS. HE IS ALSO VERY RESPECTED AMONG THE URUKS, HE HAS MITIGATED MANY CONFLICTS IN YOUR MINES AND FORGES" Comic strip in dark blue colours (except for the warm halo around the Silmarills on Morgoth's crown), both depicting Morgoth's side profile talking: FIRST PANEL(SMALLER): Morgoth says: "HAHA, YES. YOU STILL CALL HIM "ADAR", DON'T YOU, MAIRON? SECOND PANEL (UNDERNEATH AND BIGGER): Morgoth says, through two speech bubbles interconnected: "WE ARE NOT IN NEED OF MORIONDOR TO PRODUCE URUKS ANYMORE... BUT I WILL LET YOU KEEP YOUR BROKEN TOY. IF HE IS SO RESPECTED AS YOU SAY, THEN SEND HIM TO BATTLE AS A COMMANDER" Single comic panel making a close-up to Sauron's bright gaze as Morgoth adds some more words through a bubble speech that floats in the air. He says: "... WE WILL SEE HOW USEFUL HE IS" A darker blue panel framing both the panel of Sauron's gaze and Morgoth's speech bubble. Single panel of Adar, almost unrecognizable with his long hair down to the ground and the rags and bandages covering his body. He is sitting down in a curled up position, in a dark background with faint beams of light surrounding him, his legs bent, his hair covering most of his face and holding an Uruk baby to his chest. One of his ankles is covered in chains. The baby is grabbing some of Adar's very long hair in their little fist. The previous speech bubble repeats here Morgoth's words: "... WE WILL SEE HOW USEFUL HE IS"

#TROPbloodmoon Day 6: Reunion
How I wish Sauron had fought Adar personally in the finale! It was more cruel to have him die by the uruks' hands, but something was missing for me.

#MaiDar | #TROP | #ringsofpower | #macchiavato
Adar and Annatar from Rings of Power fighting underr an eclipse. Annatar is piercing Adar's arm with his sword, stained by black blood. Their hands are locked aroudn the re-forged crown of Morgoth, each struggling to keep it for himself. Annatar is smiling down at Adar, Adar is grinding his teeth. The scene is framed by a gothic-ish window.

A poem from #Adar to #Mairon 💔

For #TROPbloodmoon #Maidar week, day 1-3 (red, names, children)
Traditional art drawing coloured with markers. The background is perhaps the surface of a wooden table, a fallen over wine-goblet with leaking red wine spilled onto the table. There is a small lock of red hair tied with a small bow on the table. The POV is Adar, he is holding a slightly crumbled paper in his left gauntleted hand where he has written a poem in black ink. The poem is in Quenya in Tengwar script which is handwritten so a bit uneven and there is one word that is scratched out. A corner of the paper is stained red from spilled wine. There are several marks on the paper as if stained from fallen tears. His pen has paused on the bottom of the paper and a blot of ink has escaped it, staining the paper and leaking down to that corner. A bit of Adar’s dark hair is visible spilled onto the surface of the table which has a couple of fresh teardrops. Signed with the bluesky butterfly icon and "@mrbluebird".

Wrote a little something for the incredible #TROPBloodMoon challenge by the fabulous @macchiavato.bsky.social.

Prompt: Red---https://archiveofourown.org/works/63873388

As Adar is dying, Sauron meets him in his mind.
The First Time and the Last 9_of_Clubs Summary: Before him, Sauron’s hair gleams scarlet, and his smile is sharp. He is as he was in the clearing. He is as he was in Forodwaith. He is as he was in the barn. He is as he was on the mountaintop when the fierceness of his light blinded Adar at the first. Sauron is all shapes and none, and Adar would know his form, the particular pull of it, that heady, disarming tug, were all his senses robbed from his body. --- Or, as Adar is dying, Sauron meets him in his mind. Or, in Adar’s last moments, Sauron. For the #TROPBloodMoon Challenge prompt: Red.

Still not home for a couple more hours, but re: #TROPbloodmoon I’ve made a tumblr where I reblog every post tagged with it. I’d also like to link & repost entries from bluesky there by people who don’t have tumblr.
If that’s ok with you, could you like this post? And comment/dm if it isn’t?

First day of #TROPbloodmoon
Red ♥️

Mairon used to wear lots of transparencies and loved gold jewelry. He was a wildlife form of Sauron, definitely. Untamed. Unreachable ❤️‍🔥✨

I wasn't going to participate in #tropbloodmoon because I have 0 units of time to do anything else BUT I had a sleepless night. And I love drama and tense situations.
(And humour)
(But I'm more into white wine)
