GALADRIEL & SAURON - The Rings of Power - Shadow and Flame

[love-and-doom]

People are too literal and don't understand the horror in loving someone else besides that I think that there's a lot of misogyny and homophobia that makes them fetishize gay men and dismiss women because they aren't interested in our internal lifes and psychology Women, unlike men, are meant to occupy domestic spaces only, under the protection of a typical ideal of western masculinity And gay men are exotic and depraved and not interested in love and companionship On top of this toxic cocktail there's also a lot of self hate They are so insecure about themselves that even fictional women are a threat and needs to be neutralized That's why is commom for even the actresses to be bullied by the people in slasher fandoms They feel inadequate and can't stand to watch a full realized woman

Sorry for the rant and here are my recommendations:

In the company of the wolves by Neil Jordan ( is not exactly the same dynamics but is an exploration of female sexuality through fantasy and I think haladriel enjoyers are into these type of things)

Jane Eyre (it may sound far fetched but hear me out ... A younger woman fall for a much older guy that have a questionable past and have to struggle to keep true to herself and her ideals when he reveals himself to be not quite what he appeared)

Coppola's Dracula (I don't think that this one needs explanation)

If I think of anything else I may add on later

media that haladriels may like:

nosferatu 2024

the great (tv show)

labyrinth 1986

house of the dragon

hannibal (tv show)

the acolyte

penny dreadful

wuthering heights by emily bronte

divine rivals by rebecca ross

deathless by catherynne m. valentine

"Vannozza was undoubtedly of great beauty and had ardent passions, along with intellect. In written instruments of that time, she is explicitly called Madonna Vannozza de casa Catanei, and writers of that day also referred to her as Rosa and Catarina. After 1482, Rodrigo's passion for this woman, who was about forty, faded, but he continued to honor her as the mother of his children and as the confidant of many of his secrets." — Lucretia Borgia According to Original Documents and Correspondence of Her Day (Ferdinand Gregorovius)

One controversial fandom take of mine is that no, no every take and interpretation is valid and correct. Let's take Tolkien's work for example, Sauron as the hero of the story is an interesting vision and I don't think these types of transformative rebuilding of established works should be censored but this don't fit the legendarium and is therefore not a valid take. That would be a wrong reading of the material and is not hateful to say so. Another example is Jane Eyre. In Charlotte Brontë's romance the character of Bertha is described as being blonde but in Wide Sargasso Sea she's presented as a mestiça and some people superimposes this version on Charlotte's text leading to wrong interpretations of her work. Maybe this *all takes are valid* turn is how the post true era was birthed and now every single person has a personal manufactured version of reality perfectly tailored to themselves by the algorithms of social media.Maybe it worked because it soothed our childish fear of rejection that demands everyone profess their unconditional submission. Maybe is both and the ruling class have taken advantage of our inadequacy and alienation in order to destroy the true and we didn't even noticed we were playing into their hands because we told ourselves that getting rid of critical thought was a virtue. And that's how fascism is rising and spreeding with virtually no opposition and I am tired of it all.

This, and someone also mentioned that Galadriel let the humans die on the raft just as much as Sauron did. And she reproached him to let his companions die but hello, she did exactly the same when she swam as far as possible from the raft to escape the sea warm... Is she any better because she's 'good' ? Or because she's an Elf and they were not her kin? 🤨
