"The life of a voyeur is just so hard."

So to speak. ;^)

The HoMe is a treasure trove of oddities and wonderful inconsistencies.  This comic from Sheldon (and I'm probably violating the SWG's graphics policy by posting it here, but hey, I'm rebellious) sums up the HoMe:

Oh I so love the BotL *sighs*, one day I might be able to afford those PA's, they appear to be such a treasure of plotbunnies!

Anyhow, I love the humorous take on this encounter where Gandalf should not be where he just showed up, but oh well curious fella huh? Lorien must have his hands full with him if he recognises that scent immediately, perhaps the next time he's not fast enough?

 This was a lovely take on how Valar can take any shape if they pleases, I do wonder who that elf is (from: So that is how the Elf was made to confront his hubris). Yes, I am curious too! Wonderful ficcage Pandemonium!

 

 

I far prefer the Valar of the BoLT, so between that and the science fictionish Notion Club Papers, they're morphed into something thoroughly unholy in my mind.  I don't know if you'd recall this little tidbit, but when my Sauron, in Ch 11 "View from Barad-dûr" in The Apprentice says that the Valar are "manipulative monsters," he means it! :^D

As for the Elf, I highly recommend Ignoble Bard's "Fait Accompli."  That is all I'll say because I am already risking spoilage. :^)

Thanks so much, Rhapsy!

*nearly dies laughing*
Oh dear Lord, Pandë, this isn't even the first time I've read this, but it never fails to make me collapse in laughter. Hooray for Lovecraft!Valar and stoner!Irmo! XD (also, voyeur!Olórin... *grins and shakes head at him*)

I don't really know how to react to this. There is a part of me that wants to congratulate you, another is too busy trying to breathe through the hysteric laughing fit I seem to have developed and the third is chanting "Ya ya Shub Niggurath!". So, I'll just   tell you I loved it.

Jokes aside this is, in my opinion, a very good example of perfect parody of both Lovecraft's style and Tolkien. Still, from now on you have planted in my mind the image of Eru as Azatoth sleepin in the center of the universe serenaded by " the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes" played by the Ainur who didn't descend in Arda.

Just please, please. Tell me the elf the two Valar are talking about is Thingol. XD

Thanks a million, Valentis, for the review!  I was writing this for Ignoble Bard, who is a master of humor in the Tolkien 'verse, so I had to step up my game for him. 

"the image of Eru as Azatoth sleepin in the center of the universe serenaded by " the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes" played by the Ainur who didn't descend in Arda."

AH HAHAHAHA!  That's fantastic!  And subversively appropriate. :^D

For a more serious treatment of Tolkien in the style of Lovecraft, I heartily recommend Dawn Felagund's Hastaina.  And the elf the two Valar discuss?  His identity is revealed in Ignoble Bard's Fait Accompli. :^)

Thanks again!
