Seriously

I love the thought of Maiar chirping when they are intrigued, I love the thought of them making that little ‘Mrrrp?’ sound that cats do whenever something catches their attention, I love the thought of purring maiar, of SNARLING maiar and Maiar hissing at eachother and things that are mildly annoying.

I love the thought of them barely even laughing, but rather ‘chittering’ in amusement and Clicks could mean so many things – Either approval or annoyance.

They are nowhere near human – so I like the thought of them being just really fucking weird creatures…!

I also love to imagine that they would be fond of different things depending on what kind of maia they are. Aulë’s maiar are naturally drawn to shiny things and metal and WILL gather in little herds around something if it makes noises and flashes lights or is fractal in some way.

Manwë’s maiar have a tendency to fuzz up and puff up when something happens – especially if they’re startled. I just see them as rather timid but very playful creatures that could probably chase something caught in the wind for hours on end and help clean eachother’s feathers.

Ulmo’s maiar are probably little shits tbh – not really malicious but it’s just REALLY FUN to see humans wriggle around when you hold them under water. I believe they would ALSO be attracted by sparkly things, though maybe not to the same degree as Aulë’s maiar.

We do NOT talk about Mandos’ maiar – They’re terrifying and never blink. They don’t even speak – they just look at you with completely black eyes and only occassionally make hollow ‘ooo’-ing noises.

Agreed !
