This puts me on my nerves because, it only seems to apply to Celeborn.

Glorfindel? Everyone is excited to see him. Anarion? As the show is by now, these characters are not *needed*, but they will once they show up. Celeborn is the same, but people only say Celeborn is not needed because of shipping (in my opinion, this is the core of the Celeborn hate lately).

In story telling, once a character appears, they are needed. Celeborn is not *needed* yet because he isn't there. But his absence *already* has weight, in Galadriel's journey and grief (but you all don't care about that let's be honest).

Celeborn is Galadriel's husband, whenever you like it or not. Are you really going to let that stop you from shipping your ship, or making your headcanons? That's a you problem. The show including Celeborn should not change your preference, and you should not need canon validation to do so! Free yourself of the idea that you need show!canon to be real in order to enjoy a ship or whatever!

Besides, there *are* people excited to see Celeborn, regardless of ships. He's a well-known canon character people want to see, and are excited to see what the show does with him! We want to see the ideas the showrunners have for him, his story in the show!

'He's not needed' MY ASS

"My controversial opinion is that Celeborn is not needed on the show and only a minority of fans + the lorebros are crying about his absence. He’ll appear when he’s needed there, let the show cook and have their own canon."

I think it's because shipping and ships is becoming the primary thing some people care about. Like, they don't enjoy the show, they just enjoy a ship.

And in my personal opinion, they hate the canon and want it to change to be validated and feel superior because of their 'taste'. That's why they hate ships that are canon and people who enjoy them and get out of their way to bully even the showrunners that won't give what they want.

I've seen people saying that one ship is the ONLY good thing about the show. Claiming that it IS the best part of the show. And it just makes me sad because the show is great, full of amazing arcs, characters standing on their own, amazing dynamics and actors and characters and reducing everything to a ships seems almost offensive.

S2 is better than S1, BUT to some people it's not simply because their ship was 'separated'. They are not enjoying the show, they are just enjoying the ship, which will bite them in the ass because what they *want* won't ever really happen (that's what FICS are for).

Like, not to be mean, but the half-maia Celebrian 'theory' shouldn't even be a 'theory', it should be 'fun au!crack idea'. Because in neither in the books and/or show makes *real* sense.

I love rareships. I ship ships with characters that don't even interact in any canon. I ship ships simply because I like two characters and I CAN make them together in my head. I love canon ships. I love impossible ships. I ship ships from different SHOWS. I'm a shipper at core. BUT to me, I love the shows more.

I want the show to be good, to make sense, for characters to get their arcs and the story to be amazing. Leave the kissing, coffee shops aus and canon-divergence fics to me, but the show should be their own.

So, in conclusion, I don't really get it either, but I've seen that pattern where people care more about the ship than the show, and they want to be validated so much, even when it doesn't make sense, or even when it's based on another media (like books) and they know they won't get it.

But yeah, I've been thinking about it and seen a lot of discourse in different shows about the same thing.

ALSO I think people have gotten lazy, they aren't willing to write fanfiction or make art for their ship anymore, so they *need* the show to do it for them, idk,

Okay this is a genuine question since i'm actually so confused about this- and lowkey always have been:

what is with this obsession with wanting ships to be 'canon'? Like this demand for them to be canon is confusing me. And the hatred for the ship that *is* canon, and those who like that ship, is also just as odd to me. Plus, the calling of writers, showrunners, producers, etc. names for *not* making ships canon is... also odd.

I'm just very confused how all of this came to be and why people feel so strongly about ships in general. Like to me it's just fun nonsense i get into.

Note: please keep this civil, i am begging. this post is strictly me wanting to hear opinions. i don't want attacking and won't tolerate that nonsense.

another note: this is not about wanting more queer representation in film, books, etc! I'm bisexual myself, so I understand the frustration around that particular topic.

sauron is the perfect embodiment of militarization and industrialization because he represent the system that constantly eat itself from the inside. a system of hierarchy that built itself from a dysfunctional form of respect. a hypocritical governance that constantly proclaim their cause is for the Greater Good of humanity, yet destroy the foundation of that essence. he rewards those who remove their humanity from themselves. he sees value in violence and treat people as posession.

RINGS OF POWERS LADIES APPRECIATION WEEK ↳ Day 1 —  Favorite character: Míriel

[redeclipsee]

Yes, I have seen some people saying he was always planning on killing her because she touched him, or so, but I always saw her death as Sauron punishing Celebrimbor, for defying him.

Mirdania is Celebrimbor's apprentice, she was there in forging the rings. She might not be able to replace Celebrimbor in skill and knowledge, but she wouldn't have been useless. She was the most familiar with Celebrimbor and his knowledge, which Sauron desired and admired. Planning on killing her from the start would be foolish. Her death was suitable, because Celebrimbor was being defiant.

Mirdania is for Celebrimbor, what Elrond is to Galadriel, in a sense. When Galadriel defies Sauron, twice, she escapes death, twice, thanks to Elrond, who cares deeply about her. The first time, Sauron tried to drown her but Elrond saves her. The second time, he stabs her with Morgoth's crown, and Elrond saves her again.

I think Sauron learned the first time with Galadriel, and when he came to Eregion for the second time as Annatar, so he doesn't just gets to Celebrimbor, he gets to the person that cares about him the most and the person he probably cares the most about, Mirdania.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or whatever, but when Sauron tells Mirdania that he will make sure she receives her just reward, I don't think he's actually intending to kill her at that point. I don't think he intends to kill her until the moment it suits his purposes to do so. At this point, he really does envisage himself as a benevolent overlord, so he probably does have grand schemes to reward those who fall into line prove their fidelity to him. And in his view, Mirdania is such a one. If it had chanced that keeping her alive would be most useful to him, I think he would have done that. A valued servant. A worthy successor to Thuringwethil, perhaps.

[redeclipsee]

okay this is just me being genuinely curious and wondering how people think: Do some people see Sauron and Mairon as two separate entities, if so, why?

Because to me, they're the same person, just a different name. Like how regardless of what nickname you call someone, they're still *their name* (chosen or given, whichever they use). I don't see them as Jekyll/Hyde or anything like that. Mairon, to me, isn't a persona it's just another name for the same person.

Idk i'm just curious to see how everyone feels about this bc I've been seeing mixed interpretations.
