Who or what are the Ainur?

Ainur was a contraction of the original term "Arda Nerds". These were primordial spirits who were so facinated with the doings on Arda that they would spend endlness hours "playing" with Eru's creations, conducting mock battles (which were very real to the combatants, but just harmless fun to the Arda Nerds). They would also spend an inordinate amount of time discussing their favorite characters, their motivations, what color their hair was, and whether their wings worked. They also enjoyed dressing up as their favorite Elf, Dwarf, or Man on festive occasions.
Aulė was the leader of the Arda Nerds. Tulkas was his bitter enemy, who used to make fun of Aulė and shove him around in the Halls of Mandos.
