Isildur + looking horrendously down bad

I don't know if you can earn a thing like that. You just have to accept it as a gift. One that she gave freely because you were precious to her.

Isildur & Estrid + Almost Kisses

Can't an adult in Middle Earth enjoy a potential romantic moment in peace without getting interrupted?

[crazyaboutto]

Hear me out

that sexy spin, that lock she can't escape and those toned arms 😶‍🌫️🔥🔥

My OT3 of season 2. They share one braincell and insane chemistry. Hope nothing bad happens to any of them :)

Isildur looking at Estrid with lovesick eyes, Arondir's sexy twist and Arondir saving these two from wildmen. Then that advanced groot scene...

Of course there is also a moment they truly shared one braincell.

P.S: 3 episodes left for me to finish the season so no spoilers from them please

I must confess one thing : I don't care at all about Isildur and Estrid's romance. I can't say I don't like it, and I hope they'll find each other in season 3 I guess, but I don't vibe for them.

But what I find interesting about this romance is how it's clearly meant to be a mirror to Haladriel... How? Here's how :

Both romances start as friends who fall in love with one of them deceiving the other, but the genders are reversed; Estrid is the one pretending to be one of the "good guys" here. Both she and Sauron believe they'll be rejected if they tell the truth about their villainous past.

Galadriel has a missing husband, Estrid has a missing fiancé. But while Galadriel believes Celeborn's dead and doesn't search for him, Estrid still hopes to find her fiancé alive. And as a matter of fact, she finds him. Oops.

In both cases, there's a he-Elf who gets involved : Arondir first distrusts Estrid but sympathetic to Isildur's heartbreak, he leaves him the choice to free her or not ; Elrond, on the other hand, doesn't sympathize at all and rejects Galadriel's friendship because she insists on wearing a Ring he thinks corrupted by Sauron.

Estrid's literally a prisoner of Isildur. Galadriel's not a prisoner of Sauron, but she still is not free of him. As Elrond reminds her : "he never left". Spoiler alert : he lives rent free in her mind now *evil laugh*.

Isildur forgives Estrid and still wants to be with her, while Galadriel rejects Sauron as soon as she learns what he is, and never changes her mind.

Sauron's unredeemable because he insists in his evil ways, while Estrid seems headed towards getting a redemption arc, probably because she did what she did for survival and not for ambition.

Isildur and Estrid are separated by circumstances at the of season 2. Galadriel and Sauron are also separated, but because Galadriel jumps off a cliff to escape him.

Did I forget something ? :)
