RINGS OF POWER | 2x07

[ailendolin]

I need to talk about Gil-galad's reaction when he cannot save Galadriel for a moment because I cannot stop thinking about the way he looks at Elrond in that scene. He is not outright asking or ordering Elrond to help him but he is practically begging him with his eyes. It's the most open and emotional we've seen him in the show so far, I'd say, but what gets me even more is the look on his face when Elrond answers his silent plea with, "I can." Because Gil-galad knows what he is asking here and what Elrond is about to sacrifice in order to save Galadriel, and I think it is breaking his heart a little that Elrond is once again pushed into an impossible situation with only one way out - that he has to jump down the metaphorical waterfall again to save his friends.

Gil-galad's look always strikes me as one of grief, and perhaps that is because he realises in that moment that Elrond has changed and will never again be the same young Half-Elf who used to light up Lindon with his gentle smiles. And perhaps he recognises himself in Elrond in that moment as well because he too was once forced into the role of a leader and knows better than most how much it can cost on a personal level. To me, the look on his face says he wishes he could have spared Elrond that; that it hadn't been necessary to put this responsibility on Elrond's shoulders on top of everything else as well.

Okay,

I don't think we, Haladriels, discuss this moment nearly as much as we should.

When Sauron pulls Galadriel into his illusion, he disguises himself as her brother Finrod.

Just look at this! When he started it, he really thought he had a chance of convincing her and pulling her to his side. But she didn't buy his theater performance, and, as she slowly stood up and walked away, it probably felt for him as if a handful of sand was seeping through his fingers, as that chance was withering away inevitably.

He lost his temper completely.

Her back was turned on him, so she couldn't see him, but we, the audience, did. He was calling for her desperately, his eyes darting around, he breathes heavily, he didn't know what to do here. He, the control freak himself™, had zero control over the situation.

He needed her next to him so much but he couldn't bring her there. So in his extreme desperation he shouts "Look at me!", and that moment was so intense for both of them that in transition to the next illusion Galadriel lost her balance and leaned forward (I think both because of sudden change of location to water terrain and the scream).

Wow. I mean, just wow.

(a little clarification: by "he needed her next to him so much" I mean at all times, not just in that moment)

Does it count as toxic yuri if they would actually be perfect for each other in every conceivable way?

[damehimari]

She needs me...

I'm at that point in the questline once again. *cries*

[arnaerr]

Ok I'm cooking

[mutxnts]

could it be any more obvious that they’re married

[felidaeng]

been thinking about it

[aquitainequeen]

Isildur: Hi everyone, I've returned at last! Berek searched through the wasteland to find me, he's the best, and we went on a epic journey, and I fought giant spiders, and I had to eat part of a giant worm - that's not a euphemism - and there were walking talking trees, and I fell in love and got my heart broken practically the same day, but I also got to help an estranged father and son heal their relationship, and in conclusion it's all just been a lot. I'm really sorry it took me so long to get back; you all must have thought I was dead or something!

Isildur: Hey, where are dad and Valandil?

Isildur: ...did something happen while I was gone?

Ar-Pharazôn: ......

Eärien: ......

Kemen: ......

Míriel: ...well? He's waiting.

[sweetteaanddragons]

Elwing: gains a great treasure, feels there's no way out (literal), throws herself off a ledge

Maedhros: gains a great treasure, feels there's no way out (metaphorical), throws himself off a ledge

Elrond: gains a great treasure, feels there's no way out (both), makes his way toward a high ledge -

Galadriel and Gil-Galad: I see no possible way this could - oh. Hm. Unfortunate.

*Inhales*

"You are bound by no oath!" Elrond Half-Elf *insert his other 15 names here* said to the Fellowship, whilst simultaneously experiencing at least 28 war flashbacks and general vicinity to any Feanorian.
