I realized something about how we had a discussion before about using the ship name Haladriel and if we should keep it going forward in the show and I guess now with the season 2 spoilers we've gotten we likely should keep that as the name since we're talking about the Halbrand form and now Charlie's version of Sauron. I'll post the rest behind a cut for spoilers but I think most of the Haladriel shippers know about these and what I'm referring to. So this ship name will always be Haladriel for me and why I'll only use that tag for the rest of the series and beyond.

ETA: Sorry if this comes across as being bitter but I am still angry and upset about a few of the spoilers we've gotten. Even though I love the show anyone who knows me from my other fandoms is I can still be majorly upset if I think one of my fandoms is doing something I think is wrong and possibly could hurt the show (and we've already had way too much hate that was so messed up). I'm still excited for most of the spoilers we've gotten it's just this particular storyline and some casting choices I don't agree with and think are the wrong call.

So as most know we're getting multiple actors playing Sauron starting with season 2 of "Rings of Power". Charlie's still there and from everything we've gotten so far is the main form on the show for the rest of the series. They are going to show him shapeshifting and we'll see another actor playing Annatar/what Fellowship of Fans has dubbed the "original form" of Sauron (which I'm still mad about as Charlie should be Mairon but that's been in my other posts LOL). Then there's possibly a 3rd actor too to play the form Adar knew.

So we're going to have all these different forms but to me I'm certain the only form I'll still be shipping her with is Halbrand/Charlie's version. FOF also confirmed as far as they know Morfydd never had a chemistry test with the new Annatar actor or anyone else besides Calam who is playing Celeborn. So that's another big thing to me too and likely why I won't be shipping her with Annatar or any other Sauron form as it's not Halbrand.

Now I will say with the LOTR books/movies after rereading/rewatching after watching season 1 of "ROP" I do now ship Sauron and Galadriel in them too. However in the films it's Cate Blanchett and Benedict Cumberbatch since he's Sauron's voice actor and I'm also a fan of them so it works that way too. LOL :D

But that's why I'll always use Haladriel as the ship name as I also feel it shows the impact of the show and how it's through the show that made me ship them and realize it makes everything different and more meaningful adding that too it. Plus to honor Charlie too as he's the first actor to play him in live-action and give him a face.
