Hi! So I can’t remember if you used the phrase in Sansukh or not but I’ve seen it in other fics and I’m confused by it. What does Mahal weep/Mahal wept mean? I know who Mahal is of course but I’m just really confused about the saying.

Hey Nonnie!

I certainly have used it! It’s a play on the phrase ‘Jesus wept.’ Famous for being the shortest phrase in the Christian Bible. 

Here in Australia it’s often used as an expletive to express your disbelief over someone or something! 

e.g. “Sorry I won’t be able to help you move this weekend. Barry’s gone and totalled the ute.” 
“Aw, geez, Barry, not again? What’s that make it, five times in two years?” 
“Five!? Jesus wept! The man shouldn’t be allowed behind a fuckin’ wheel!”

I have this odd headcanon that Legolas,once in awhile, just bursts into song while he and Gimli are having sex…just randomly starts singing abut something and Gimli’s just confused like ‘…?? honestly? right now?…your going to wake everyone in the mountain up!’ and Leggy’s just tralalala*deep moan* lalala~ trees~ la

oh my gooood oh my god oh my GOD

(why am I imagining Legolas like, letting RIP with the ‘Vincerò!!!’ ending from Nessun Dorma right at the moment of climax…)
