The hilarious thing about Sauron is that according to most version of the legendarium, he was originally, like, a god of planning and logistics, and he initially supported Melkor’s plans for world domination because he regarded the world’s present state of affairs as inefficient and poorly organised. He’s literally what happens when you take the kid who’s fed up at everybody else fucking up their part of the group project and give him phenomenal cosmic power.

#although… imagine thinking that *melkor* of all people #is going to be remotely helpful in making things efficient and well-organized #sauron really screwed up there #(as he so often does) (via @potatoobsessed999)

Sauron’s entire career is basically a series of increasingly terrible decisions executed with enormous competence.

ironic then that his downfall was the result of incredibly terrible decisions executed with enormous competence
