Wilderloves

Eä was young, and Oromë rode far, roaming with the beasts. And he saw how Melkor could twist all good creatures.

Love must act. So Oromë goes among the beasts: allures the vixens with his black-tipped ears and nine tails, leaps a great-pronged hart among the hinds; he nests with red-tailed hawks, rolls with bitches. But among horses, he finds his form – a great, silver stallion, like unto Brother Nahar.

Thus he gives them children – wondrous children, and wise, to save their kind.

And to horse and hound a greater love he gives: when Speakers call, companions, they shall come.

Ooh, well-done! These smarter-than-average animals always are an anomaly that wants explaining, and this is a feasible and unorthodox explanation indeed.

Your summaries. They are art unto themselves.

I know! I had fun coming up with an answer that would fit the context of horrifying, all-consuming war and perversion, and the need to avoid an artificer's creativity in "making" the intelligent animals.

Your summaries. They are art unto themselves.

Thank you, I do try!

Oh hey we both posted B2MeM entries with bestiality warnings today! Great minds think...alike?

I love that this is Oromë's response to Melkor's threat--your list of animals is great. Reminds me a bit of Zeus, changing shapes to seduce mortal creatures. Though Oromë is far more altruistic.

I think.

[dwimordene-2011.livejournal.com]

Yes, but yours have illustrations!

Oromë is more altruistic, I think - he's got a job to do. And yeah, it's a pretty fun job - stud-muffin to all the animal species. Booyah! He is officially helping to save the world by having sex. How awesome is he?

[aliana1.livejournal.com]

Now, that's what I call healing sex.

Not that I expected otherwise from you, but it's such a relief to see bestiality spelled right.

*looks at sentence*

*blinks*

*looks again*

*that's just going to look wrong, no matter how I stare at it, right...?*

*blames lack of sleep*

Great story and explanation, though. And I suspect the shape-shifting ability in Beorn's line would have a similar origin.

It's the curse of the pre-spell-check generation to be able to spell correctly transgressive sex acts without thinking at 11:30 at night.

*that's just going to look wrong, no matter how I stare at it, right...?*

At least you didn't write polyamorous bestiality?

I suspect the shape-shifting ability in Beorn's line would have a similar origin.

Quite possibly - or perhaps he's one of Oromë's Maiar?

Ahem... I believe you lost a plotbunny?

[dwimordene-2011.livejournal.com]

No, I think that one fell out of your pocket...?

[mrowe.livejournal.com]

In which case, it must want to escape into the wild...

It's hard not to love horses and hounds.

In theory - I'll stay over here with the cats and chinchillas, thanks!

My comment from yesterday was eaten, apparently. I was saying that I liked this. Very creative. =)

[dwimordene-2011.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I thought I saw something flicker into view and then disappear yesterday, but once it was gone...

[silver-trails.livejournal.com]

Well, it's back now (g)

[samtyr.livejournal.com]

This is just lovely. :)

[dwimordene-2011.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Lovely writing, and I adore the idea of Orome in animal shape. It's such a nicely mythological explanation for all the strangeness going on in Rhovanion.

And now you have me wondering about Huan... best not go down that road...

[dwimordene-2011.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Elleth! I'm having great fun with shapeshifting Valar of late.

I do believe someone has gone down a road with Huan lately... like huinare.

[blslarner.livejournal.com]

Oh, Dwim, you have done it again! How you've caught in such exquisite language the situation and how Orome sought to put himself into created animals to help save them from Melkor's fell arts!

Morgoth had his eugenics program, and Oromë had his - I know which one I like better!
