good evening to everyone deranged over a piece of vampire media

[chrollc]

haladriel s3 manifesting:

the mind-bond between sauron x galadriel expanded and explored.

more context and history for "he gropes ever to see me" and "my heart has greatly desired this".

more great haladriel quotes such as "ours was no chance meeting" and "bind it to my very being" and "brought to its knees to worship the light of its queen".

galadriel tempted by power/darkness/sauron. succumbing to the darkness at least for a bit.

galadriel's inner conflict between her hunger for power and wisdom.

galadriel growing into a great leader + witch!galadriel.

sauron teaching galadriel how to be a cunning leader and a powerful witch while she is trying to stab him <3 i need my secretary!sauron x girlboss!galadriel fix.

no wasting of charlie and miv's chemistry! more hot and horny haladriel interactions!

sauron touching galadriel's hair.

galadriel calling sauron by his original name mairon.

haladriel kiss? 🥺 (i guess if there is the kiss it's going to be in their last interaction tho)

"I was like 🤭🤭🤭" ▸ The Rings Of Power's Morfydd Clark & Charlie Vickers diiscuss the Elrond & Galadriel kiss with Screen Rant ▸ December 2024

the possibility that we might actually be getting a storyline about:

sauron and galadriel communicating and interacting in the mind-palace

sauron tempting galadriel to succumb to the darkness, pulling as she pushes

galadriel getting powers as the side effect of being stabbed by morgoth's crown

is genuinely so exciting!!!

and again, sauron x galadriel mind-bond storyline would be enjoyed by everyone! shippers and non-shippers alike, lore nerds and general audiences alike! it is a very appealing idea full of potential!

[chrollc]

even without any explicit eroticism, haladriel in s3 has a potential to be giving nosferatu:

the wound left by morgoth's crown having dark side effects on galadriel's powers and psyche, connecting her and sauron's minds

sauron tempting galadriel to succumb to the darkness through their mind-bond and galadriel struggling to fight the darkness with her light

galadriel - ellen hutter

sauron - count orlok

elrond (platonically, bc i dont want teleporn to be back) - thomas hutter

gandalf - prof. albin eberhart von franz

and from everything i have heard about nosferatu 2024, i know that haladriels are going to love it. it seems that ellen takes a more central stage than she had in previous adaptations which is great!

Note to keep in mind

I am manifesting hope that those with any reading comprehension will understand that the only reason why the showrunners didn't have Sauron pay a nice little visit to see both his exes on their camping trip was because they wanted to build up anticipation and significance for their inevitable reunion, and not that they didn't think Sauron wouldn't do it.

You can bet that there was a finished draft at some point for them to even bring this up in an interview, even if they 'quickly' dismissed it. They wanted to see if they could fit them into the sequence of events sooner, but due to other considerations, and for the sake of hyping up their meeting, this was cut.

"But if they collided early, it would rob some of the power of that final meeting. So...for that and many other reasons having to do [with] character and proximity, they were going to be ready only then."

By character, they didn't mean it would've been 'out of character' for that to happen. If that was the case, they wouldn't have even given this a second thought, much less bother to look at other media enemy relationships to compare to. Proximity means that Sauron is anxiously waiting on his Amazon rings delivery, and he needed to be there to sign for the package. They mean that both Galadriel and Sauron needed to go through more experiences individually first before they would be fully ready to confront each other.

Bonus: For S3 and beyond, we know Charlie 'I would write more of them meeting if I was in charge' Vickers is on board though if this ever pops up again (spoiler alert: it will).

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

There’s been a lot of talk about “misogyny” and “sexism” these past few days in the “Rings of Power” fandom concerning Sauron x Galadriel.

Quite conveniently no one is talking how male heroes get to flirt, kiss or even fuck with hot female villains without having their “heroism” put into question (literally ever action male hero ever created by Hollywood), but when the roles are reversed and it’s the female hero flirting with the hot male villains it’s suddenly “problematic” and we “need to talk about it”, and the villain has to be redeemed otherwise it’s “abusive”, and we need to “protect the women and children” from these representations.

And the medias where this happens are guilty of the same bias, mind you. Perhaps one day the film/TV industry will award the female heroes the same treatment as the male heroes. Until then, spare me the virtuous and patronizing speeches.

"Her time with Halbrand was a time where she was very much herself in some ways because she was an Elf alone. She wasn't following the rules of her people at that point. So, he knows a part of her that other people, other beings, don't, and there's a tragedy to losing that, and through losing him, she's also lost that part of herself. " --Morfydd Clark

I thought we were done with LA press day bounties and the latest drop brought the most devastating line yet. 😭 I could go on and on about this aspect of Galadriel's characterization and in particular what being around Halbrand/Sauron brings out of her compared to how she acts when she's back in the 'nest' as it were. I don't know if it's intentional or not but something about the way they've written Galadriel reintegrating back into her community just felt subtly stifling and like that'd be one thing if the writers were self-aware about it but I got the impression it's meant to be this 100% good/wholesome thing about maturation and growth. I think this is the first time someone from the show has spoken of it differently, because there is a Loss there too. A pretty profound one.

Yes she had reasons to feel guilty and that would mean a humbled Galadriel in season 2, but I couldn't help but also notice the way she holds herself, bites her tongue, struggles to contain her anger and pain, are all pretty similar to how she acted around the elves in season 1 before she was exiled. And we subsequently saw her really sparking and expressing everything she felt after jumping off that ship, meeting Halbrand, causing a ruckus on Numenor, etc etc. (With Habrand especially, I think the way I described it once when watching s1, the reason the dynamic really grabbed me and what I saw as Galadriel coming alive, is that he spoke to her like she was just a woman, the real flesh and blood person in between the black sheep of the elves or the untouchable Lady of Light. It's no wonder he got her to bare her soul in that forge.) I reject the idea that all of that was just this flawed part of her she needs to erase from her character to become the true Galadriel. Character growth should temper her more impulsive and reckless traits but not figuratively lobotomize her.

[chrollc]

I zeroed in on Morfydd saying that she was very much herself in some ways because she wasn't conforming to the rules of her people.

The implication then is to be part of the elf community again, she's had to suppress parts of herself.

If you've watched enough stories with female characters, you'll often see this pattern emerge of conformity and repression for the female character and how they relate to their society. Screen writers use freud's theory of id, super ego, and ego and what it means for female repression like they studied under the man.
