#isildur too

[starsoftheeye]

the bit in the latest rings of power between eärien and elendil is actually breaking my heart

eärien showing a vulnerable side of herself to her father and to the audience???? the hug????? elendils smile when he finally hugs his daughter after not only months of not seeing her but also months (?) of animosity between them, then the immediate shift when she accuses him of being prideful??? elendil reinforcing the belief that pharazon has instilled in eärien that her own father hates her and then giving her no reassurance whatsoever????? eäriens face when she realises that pharazon was right??? eärien knowing that her fathers love and respect for míriel was stronger than any respect for her????

are they trying to kill me?????

so i've been watching the Rings of Power bc i am a huge lotr nerd and at the scene when Elendil lights a mourning candle for Isildur in the shrine i was thinking "hmmm but Isildur isn't dead though... maybe the candle will go out?? symbolising Isildur actually being alive??" because i could SMELL the symbolism coming for a mile away. and then i went "😬 ah.....i see.....!!"

him <3

not me fangirling over Tom Bombadil

[elerondo]

but, legit. if Elrond had actually tackled Isildur, he would have killed the man purely by accident ( and by design )

what else did we think would happen

[spellbound037]

Friendly reminder to the RoP fans who don't know the original lore:

Valandil is Isildur's son (But let's be honest, he was more raised by Elrond)

Galadriel is older than the sun

Elven men canonically have long hair

Elrond was found by Maedhros and Maglor and also is not, in fact, an orphan, his mom is a bird and his dad is a star and they may or may not be divorced

Isildur, Ar-Pharazon, Miriel, Valandil, and almost all of the rest of Gondor and Numenor's royals are Elrond's nieces and nephews.

Galadriel has a husband and a daughter

A daughter who IS MARRIED TO ELROND

Gondolin

In Valinor, one year is a century long. 20 years to an elf is only about three months to a human.

A Durin would not be the son of another Durin

None of these events happen anywhere near one another in the timeline

Galadriel sees right through Sauron instantly, she does not fall in love with him

Nor does she fall in love with Elrond, as he is her son-in-law and also her therapist

And finally, a reminder to the Tolkein purists:

PEOPLE CAN BE BLACK.

Elves can, and in fact, probably were, people of color. Only the Noldor were probably ever genuinely white. The Sindar, the Vanyar, the Falmari, all of them were probably various POC.

In the final version of the canon, dwarf women having beards was uncertain, and even if it was 100% sure that the group of dwarves we know had women with beards, Disa is clearly a different ethnicity, and possibly a different culture, so it is entirely possible that she would not have a beard.

Arondir was a prisoner, and elven prisoners likely had their hair cut to insult or disgrace them, so it is entirely possible that he would have short hair at the time he is shown.

Elrond, Disa and Durin are cute. It does not matter that they aren't canon. People can like these characters. I liked several of them myself, though I found some quite flat and one-dimensional.

As long as you aren't hurting anybody, discriminating against anybody, or erasing someone else's hard work (ahem, Tolkein's elvish language and customs) you can do whatever you want. Hell, I kinda want to ship Disa and Celebrian. I'm not hurting anyone, so I can do just that! (Amazon, however, is hurting people. Know that before you go into this.)
