Re: Do you disagree with any popular fandom headcanons/interpretations?

I think I've said this before, but there is a popular headcanon that Melkor abuses Mairon and that their relationship involves Mairon never saying anything for himself and just doing everything Melkor says.

And while there are some awesome abusive!Melkor fics, I've come to disagree with that headcanon. That's how Melkor is with everyone else, but with Mairon it is different. Mairon is his second in command. And while Mairon obeys, he also talks for himself and has his own ideas. I think it is kind of clear in canon, at least to me, that Sauron is kind of the idea guy, the one who actually manages to accomplish the things Melkor wants. And also, if Melkor treated him like everyone else, how is his being second in command any different.

Another thing I hate is the idea that Mairon was pure and innocent until Melkor corrupted him. I highly doubt that. I'm pretty sure he had the same personality traits like obsession with order, vanity, perfectionism, and pride. Melkor had to have seen some sort of potential for evil in him, and personalities don't completely change.

I don't like most shippers' interpretation of these characters, period.
