For a year now I'm watching a fascist state butchering children with impunity so I have no stomach for your racist and dehumanizing discourse in fandom and no tolerance for hatred towards babies due their parents real or perceived crimes I'm done with your evil selfs and your lust for blood Go to fucking theraphy or idk go back to the hell you crawled out of it in the manner of your choosing

People will read a whole series whose thesis is about how saving the life of children that society finds disposable (Jon, Dany, Gendry and others) is wrong and have the good guys doing everything in their power (including breaking every oath and taboo they hold sacred) in order to protect them only for people came in this site and out themselves as child killers with pride and glee

They do say that evil and stupidity often are aligned and they aren't wrong

If you think that infanticide is justifiable in any circumstance you're the ontological evil you're projection on a fictional child bride Go treat yourself you weirdo

To be completely honest

I would’ve done what Miri Maz Durr did if I were her.

You have the chance to destroy a mans budding dynasty. This man conquered your village and his men thought it was their right to rape you, and his wife thought making you her slave, was her saving you.

Then you get the chance to destroy him, his wife and his legacy.

I would’ve taken it, if I were Mirri Maz Durr.

So adar destroyed the southlands by creating mordor and killing thousands in the process by effectively doing ethnic cleansing and enslaving the ones that were unfortunate enough to survive (he is also Bronwyh's murderer) then he gathered an army to destroy another city and kill (again) every single living thing there and murder sauron with the help of morgoth's crown and nenya while also promising to behead Galadriel (thankfully she escaped) almost killed Arondir and Elrond and stole a magical object trougth violence that once he wore magically healed him

More or less that's his whole arch in the second season of the rings of power There's not a single scene where he isn't seen doing evil towards others even if not directly (the funeral scene happened in the midst of the siege that ended eregion)

What we don't see him doing is admitting he was still under Sauron's spell (his hubris is partially why he died like he did) and begging for forgiveness for having betrayed Eru to serve morgoth yet I'm being told that he confronted his darkness and earned his *redemption*

I'm sorry I don't see it

Again I don't want to piss anyone but I may been watching an entirely different show 😅

His whole come to Jesus moment was due the ring He didn't forsaw that the object he coveted to commit murder would rob him out of the desire to kill

So why would I expect the ring to not work on sauron ? If adar went back to be the elf he was before his fall why wouldn't sauron go back to be mairon ?

There's no logic other than double standard and the projection of the sauron we know from the trilogy onto the current sauron of the series

I find adar extremely compelling and that he was done dirty by the sloppy writing of the last episode I don't like him less than other fans but I do not whitewash his crimes and being honest it bothers me that people that claim to enjoy him and the show do Because you are robbing him of a great part of his story and in my opinion appeal wich is funny because sauron enjoyers are often accused of doing this by not having a black white vision of his caracther and refusing to see him trougth the absolute evil prism

Makes sense since she is the one leading them to war and of course thinking about sauron involvement in the making of them and also her armour is always exciting

How the hell did I miss that while it was right under our nose... I always interpreted this poster of Halbrand as a reference to the Trojan horse, which IT WAS (Halbrand was the Trojan horse, Galadriel brought it in Numenor... Gosh we were really blind). But seeing how he insists in comparing Galadriel to a horse, and all the (white) horse references more or less explicitly associated with Galadriel in the show, it makes the way he holds that horse shaped hilt all the most tasty :

Ar-Pharazôn: I would sooner knee-cap a stallion than seek to imprison the mighty commander of the Northern Armies.

Tar Miriel : I welcome you as a guest, and you gallop off to our countryside to steal ancient scrolls whilst your Southlander companion assaults our citizenry.

"... Ride you to victory" (okay Elrond we know you know)

(Sauron's mind palace vision in 2x06, watch out for the white horse in the back !)

Nenya being able of freeing someone from the corruption of morgoth should have a bigger impact in the narrative and caracthers and be a game changer in middle earth and the fact that Galadriel refuses to give it to Sauron that is desperately trying to escape melkor's influence is beyond shortsighted and cruel I blame the writers, mind you Not her but this is huge plot hole (idk what we would call a device being able to fix all the issues of a universe being ignored) and I can't stop thinking about the what if scenario where gal handles sauron the ring

Going through my my brilliant friend highlights and notes on my Kindle I found this:

We stared at each other, completely separate creatures, as if we were on a life raft in the middle of an infinite sea.

Haladriel is haunting me and I am enjoying
