The Rings of Power 2.07
Neither of us was strong enough. There might not be anyone in Middle-earth who is. But perhaps, the Elves need only remember that it is not strength that overcomes darkness, but light. Armies may rise, hearts may fail, yet still, light endures and is mightier than strength. For in its presence, all darkness must flee. Namarië.

I love the idea of Gil-Galad just being A Guy while Elrond and Celebrimbor are insane, actually.
Consider;
Elrond, so pissed that the indoor plants are rattling: Fuck That Courtier 👁️⭐️🗡️
Gil-Galad, wondering if he can still eat his salad if it’s sprouted ominous flowers: Yeah, what a bitch.
And
Celebrimbor, setting a jar on Gil-Galad’s desk: I have discovered a new chemical 😁
The Chemical™️: *eats through the jar, eats through Gil-Galad’s desk, sizzling as it tries to eat through the stone flooring*
Gil-Galad, seeing an Opportunity: can you move the jar a little to the left? That’s where the complaints from Lord Oropher are stacked.
Love the idea of Gil being a regular dude while his alleged cousins are the resident eldritch horror and the mad scientist next door.

In deference to my recent bout of shitposting, have a daily reminder that Tolkien's half-elves have no happy ending and no matter what they choose, they'll still lose part of their family forever. They'll always be split between two people, neither fully one or the other, yet forced to pick one and lose the other
#haha feral dior shitposting where#have ANGST#elros elrond arwen elladan elrohir dior elwing luthien ALL OF THEM#half of them have unknown fates that could go either way#and the additional fact that not *all* elves gor the choice and those who hadn't just#stayed mortal#see: princes of dol amroth#and we know nothing about dior elured and elurin and whether they got the choice#maybe some of them WOULD have wanted to be immortal but never got the option#and are stuck the same way eärendil is#with the difference that as tragic as eärendil is? he still GOT TO MAKE THE CHOICE FOR HIMSELF#it wasn't taken from him by shitty circumstances he just wanted to stay with elwing more than be mortal#anyway i am rambling#tolkien#silmarillion#lotr#lord of the rings#elrond#shit which ones should i tag there's a lot of them#elladan#elrohir#arwen#dior eluchil#whatever

I’m on board with the “Adar was/is Celeborn” theory purely because I want this crack exchange -
Adar/Celeborn: You cheated on me with Sauron!
Galadriel: Well you also cheated on me with Sauron so the scales are balanced
Adar/Celeborn: What?? In what-
Galadriel: You left me, your wife, for 1000 years, to have a family and children with him
Adar/Celeborn: Okay, well, you fell in love with him. Which means you weren’t even in love with me in the first place. Which is worse
Galadriel: YOU LITERALLY HAD HIS CHILDREN
Adar/Celeborn: You married me for all eternity wiTHOUT EVEN BEING IN LOVE WITH ME
High King Gil-Galad, to Elrond: Still think he’s fake and they’re not married?
Elrond: Oh no, I take it back, they’re definit- oh my god Galadriel do not challenge him to a duel there is nothing wrong with your womb gods above
#Galadriel: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT LOVE FELT LIKE IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE#Adar/Celeborn: Well apparently it feels like a scruffy lost king that doesn’t even EXIST#Galadriel: MY children wouldn’t have stabbed you to death#Adar/Celeborn: SHUT UP#my desire to turn rings of power into a comedy is strong#it also legitimately feels like the only path where you don’t feel bad for Celeborn#because they both abandoned the other for Sauron#and they both are equally obsessed with killing him#also Adar was way way too weird around Galadriel for it to be normal#and you can’t set up and feed an entire relationship between the two just to kill him#they were literally more interesting than all the Galadriel Elrond stuff#the parallels and mutual understanding#who better to help her heal from the darkness infecting her than someone who was also changed by Saurons darkness#it also means you get both Celeborn and Sauron in the story without forfeiting the relationship Galadriel has with either#rop spoilers#rop season 2#rop#galadriel#galadriel/sauron#galadriel/halbrand#gil galad#elrond#sauron#adar rings of power#rings of power#celeborn#adar#oh context elves can only fall in love once#so Galadriel cannot have been in love before if she fell for Halbrand#which is a huge yikes for Celeborn lmao

Elrond: I have a migraine.
Galadriel: Ibuprofen's in the bathroom cabinet.
Elrond: I'd rather suffer. Wake me up in two days. Peace.

Listen, Elrond having very styled and ✨proper✨ hair in season one and until the waterfall only to start getting fluffy curls after means that either, he was so MAD he stopped giving a fuck about a haircare routine that was destroying it, or he was so MAD he went to Camnir "I need a haircare routine. Now." And Camnir was like "Whatever keeps you off the waterfall dear" and THAT'S how we got the curls.
#Either he's mad enough to stop giving a fuck about his appearance being proper#Or like#Proper Elven Etiquette#Where everyone has straight hair#Or he was so pissed he went#Fine#Imma take care of myself and make sure you all have to SEE me now#Or it's because he lost Elros' cloak of course#So he lets his hair go to look more like him#Ceres in Delululand#the rings of power#trop season 2#elrond#camnir#i'm fine

Kidnap Fam vs Earendil and Elwing controversy: Regarding the twins
Maybe I’m too practical-minded, but I see a lot of people either supporting or exaggerating kidnap fam, hating it with all their being, or ignoring the whole ‘love grew between them’ to translate into ‘emotional manipulation, hatred, resentment… etc (being anti-canon)’. I’ll respect opinions, frankly, I really could care less about them, but it does get irritating when people throw canon away for the drama (I certainly get annoyed when extreme pro-kidnap fams fans make it all sunshine and rainbows as if it wasn’t a difficult time or situation).
By the way, I can and will say that the twins can feel emotions, they are allowed to do that. Resentment and love can exist at the same time (for only a period of time) but one or the other must fade in order for the other the linger. One has to be consumed in order for the other to burn.
But just a thought, Elrond and Elros could love all of their parents equally, no more, no less than the others. One became a healer and the other, a king, I think they came to understand their foster father(s) and their bio-parents’ decisions.
(Ay maybe I just suck at emotions and all this feelings stuff and have no idea what I’m tolkien about)
And I’m not trying to call out or bash anyone!
I saw (and wanted to share) the quote,
“if your anger burns the furnace in your soul your whole life, you will be forever cold in the grave.”(I’m paraphrasing, I can’t remember the exact quote)
I cannot imagine Elrond or Elros being resentful to the point were they are vicious or unforgiving, whether it was towards Elwing, Eärendil, Maglor, or Maedhros (I really don’t think he was involved too much but if you swing that way).
I don’t want Elros to be cold in his grave, and I certainly don’t want Elrond's fëa to be burning for the rest of his immortal life.
Then I also had the thought, 'if the Fëanorians had never committed the third, worst, kinslaying, then Elwing would have never flown the Silmaril to her husband and they would have never gotten the help of the Valar.'
I personally headcanon that it was Eru’s work at hand to have Maglor raise Elrond and Elros. Think about it, what if they were spoiled in an alternate universe? What if something worse had happened to the twins? What if? What if?
What if they didn't become who they were meant to be if it wasn't for who they were raised by?
By the way, I read LOTR, I know Elrond refers to Eärendil publicly as his father and he makes no mention of Maglor. I analyzed this in three ways. 1.) Elrond must keep (the memory of) Maglor closed off, locked in his heart rather than talking about him more. 2.) It would've caused drama in his realm and in the counsel. 3.) Elrond really doesn't care, his father is his father, that's it. Zip. Maglor raised him, but Maglor is gone now. In a way, Eärendil is more present than Maglor in Elrond's life by the third age. Elrond can physically see the star, but he can't see Maglor.
I see it in the third way mostly. Eärendil is Elrond father, biologically, so why would he do this "My 'real' father" BS? It just seems like a waste of time. Tolkien probably didn't want to confuse anyone since the Silmarillion couldn't be published with LOTR.
Remind me of that quote from Yondu, "He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn't your daddy." But I really didn't want to refer to that quote considering Peter and Yondu's relationship is not the best example to compare this cluster of daddy issues to. Nevertheless, there is a point to be made in that statement. There is a difference between relation in regard to Nature vs Nurture, and the effects of it.
I guess the whole point of this post is, the fandom tends to take canon lore to the extreme or over analyze things to the point where they're just projecting. Trust me, I've been there, done that. I've learned my lesson (I think) and I wanted to share what I've learned.
Also (this is purely opinion) I don’t think Maglor was manipulative about anything, in the book, he just didn’t come off that way, for as little as he appeared, he actually seemed to be pretty optimistic (*regarding Eärendil) and honest (*the debate with Maedhros). He didn’t try to excuse himself or get the twins to pity him. Maglor raising the twins was out of pity/mercy, yes, but love grew (like what Tolkien said). He probably educated them on the facts and encouraged them to form their own opinions, whether that costed him their love or not. Maglor did have the more accurate moral compass compared to his brothers (in the end of the book!- Put down your pitchforks Maedhros stans!), especially if he knew that the Silmaril was better beyond their reach than where the enemy can also reach it. It was an accurate moral compass, although not a big one.
Argue, agree or disagree, or discuss with me! I want to hear different perspectives or opinions on this matter.

In the better quality of this scene from the official release of the tv spot it's in, it's easier to see that Miriel is wearing the same "more casual" or shift-type gown she had on in 1x08, in the scenes on the ship back to Numenor 👀

i know that *the kiss* is probably not between galadriel and sauron, BUT just imagine if it was... like, i know it's delusional, i do, but IMAGINE IF IT WAS! it would be so bold of the writers. it would break the internet and the fandom would go absolutely batshit insane in different ways.
#it's probably a peck between galadriel and elrond tbh bc i highly doubt celeborn appears and a spousal kiss isn't “surprising” either#saurondriel#haladriel#the rings of power#trop#halbrand x galadriel#sauron x galadriel

shoutout to robert aramayo's blistering agony at elrond having to kiss galadriel. it's not possible to hate that moment more than he did but i sure am doing my best.
#i have a burgeoning annoyance over how the show is treating galadriel and all the female characters this season#she's either on her hands and knees begging the men around her for absolution for falling victim to the world's purest evil#or she's being lectured and chided by elrond and gil-galad#or she's being caged and displayed and kissed without consent#and she's had no meaningful narrative arc thus far#and this is layered on the show's brutality towards mirdania and rian#giving rian a moment of triumph sure before her death but mirdania was not given a single moment of intelligence or grace#and this talk from the cast about galadriel being humbled is an uncomfortable insight into the show runner's opinion on the character#she was a victim the same as celebrimbor#why then do we assign total blame to galadriel but understand brimby has been terrorised when both of them were deceived?#anyway shoutout to robert for his class at navigating those tricky questions about the kiss#elrond#trop#the rings of power

Every other time it had all faded away in slow horror, knowing that he would awaken with no memory of what had been. But this time, this time is different. This time Celebrimbor’s trace of Elbereths star, of Earendils remains upon his skin but Sauron sees it not.
And his memory remains.
He cannot show his horror so instead he gives what Sauron wishes - devotion. Sweetness, with just enough bewilderment to know that something torments him. He could never have done this once, but Sauron has taught him painful lessons.
But now, now he has hope. The stars of hope, against the shadow. It is how he makes himself smile, to yield to kisses and embraces.
(He knows what else Sauron wants now, the memory burning him - Elrond, the pretty chained nightingale star - a silver cage and a gold for Galadriel. Sauron’s unwilling consorts, Celebrimbor a trophy of sorts - a victory, a pet crafter to hold against Middle Earth. Elrond is a fear, the image of a defeat and Celebrimbor knows that too).
-
Pharazon does not like them together, except when he is there but even then they must see to him, to his pleasure. They have let him think them defeated and it seems to please the man - to have what he wishes. And yet, yet they are not.
There is light and high beauty forever beyond the reach of the grasping choking shadows and Miriel has always felt it - perhaps never more than when she is with Elendil. Pharazon is small beneath it and while Elendil names her Luthien she thinks of Beren. They will endure.
#au: everything is trauma#fic#lil and her ridiculous aus#tv: rings of power#no i don’t know either#my conviction that sauron is still terrified out of his everything of luthien will not be shaken#elrond looks like luthien but also he’s gentle kind and wise and a healer#and sauron wants to possess not least for elrond’s maia blood#no i don’t know where this came from but i do love the idea of ‘fuck you taking you down and you’ll have no idea’

@imladrisweek day 5: culture of Imladris (prompt: hospitality and guests)
As Frodo stood upon the threshold, Elrond wished him a fair journey, and blessed him, and he said:
'I think, Frodo, that maybe you will not need to come back, unless you come very soon. For about this time of the year, when the leaves are gold before they fall, look for Bilbo in the woods of the Shire. I shall be with him.'
These words no one else heard, and Frodo kept them to himself.
- Return of the King, book VI chapter 6 Many Partings, emphasis mine
This is one of those small moments that has always stood out to me, so I decided to go ahead and draw it for this event.
+ bonus joke doodle:
This line sort of reminded me of the Filipino tradition of pagmamano, because of the blessing part. I'm not great at explaining things but pagmamano is a gesture of respect towards one's elders, wherein you basically ask for their blessing.
#jirtery#my art#imladrisweek#frodo baggins#elrond#I would've included the necklace Arwen gives to Frodo but alas I forgor#also the star of earendil song from the lotr musical sort of played in my head while making this. i haven't seen the play though#and i'm not familiar with the lyrics of the song either. but the tune played in my head often enough for me to think it was worth mentionin

Even though I usually prefer purely Noldorin Míriel because I hate the idea of certain elf tribes having "exclusive" looks, her being a distant (keyword: distant) relative of the Telerin Royal family from who she get's her iconic silver hair can also be fun. Because then I can headcanon she looks like Elwë, Eärwen, Celeborn, & Celebrían and that Finarfin, Galadriel, & Elrond literally all have the same type as Finwë and it would also mean Indis has to see Míriel's ghost even in her own descendants, as if they were meant to be Míriel's all along.
#Lalwen & Fingolfin look like Finwë and Míriel had an equal likelihood of having Finwë look alike children. Findis & Finarfin look like her#yet either by pure coincidence or unconsciously mimicking Fëanor's subtle mannerisms they somehow still remind Indis of Míriel#Finarfin & Galadriel are highkey horrified when they each meet her for 1st time. “I always wondered why tf I look like Tyelko” - Galadriel#& remember how in an early draft Thingol was called Celegorm? Imagine how weird it was for Lúthien if Celegorm actually looked like her dad#Fingolfin & Angrod inherited Indis's type ofc & fell for dark haired Noldo baddies except they were actually Anairë & Edhellos's 1st choice#miriel#miriel therinde#miriel serinde#finwe#finarfin#earwen#galadriel#celeborn#celebrian#elrond#silm headcanons
