The vibes on this app have been ass lately so here's a list of ship names for Sauron and Galadriel, only they get more and more niche as the list goes on...

First, we begin with the one that started it all:

Haladriel

A combination of Galadriel's name and Halbrand (Sauron's form made for the race of men).

Halbrand - possibly a compound of hall “exalted, lofty” + brand “steeple” or brand “towering”, likely a spin on the name Halbarad. Alternatively, the first element might be hall “secret, hidden”.

The next and more divisive name is

Saurondriel

Sauron - "the abhorred"

Galadriel - "maiden crowned with a radiant garland".

It is a divisive ship name as it is mostly agreed by many, and most horrifyingly by Charlie himself, to be a bit clunky to say out loud, despite the nice juxtaposition of their name meanings being shoved together this way.

Martanis

Mairon - "the admirable" (This is perhaps his original name from his time with Aulë)

Due to the Noldor custom of giving elves both a father name and a mother name, we have Galadriel's father name:

Artanis - "noble woman"

This is a growing favorite of mine since it just sounds really pretty. Also likely their earliest given names, both with the most positive associations attached to them. One of the best accounts on here for Sauron and Galadriel content also bears the username @martanis

Annaltáriel

Annatar - "Lord of Gifts"

Altáriel - The Quenya name of Galadriel

(For those who enjoy the Annatar form, I guess this one would be perfect)

Nervildo

Many people are unaware that for much of Beren and Luthien, Sauron appears in the earliest drafts of the story in the form of a black cat…

Nerwen - “man-maiden” (her mother name)

Tevildo - “prince of cats”

Full credit goes to @nocaptainonthisship who was the original user I saw using this ship name and it must not be overlooked. As a warrior cats girl myself growing up, Tevildo's form has always been one of my favs. Galadriel as a furry is also.... quite an interesting concept to think about.

Nerthû

Continuing with Sauron's earliest names from the tale of Beren and Luthien. We have a combination of Nerwen as seen above and

Thû - "horrible darkness, black mist."

Saladriel

What can I even say about this one??? Another attempt to create a more fluid combination of Sauron and Galadriel’s names. Still quite clunky but much more amusing than the first attempt.

Curthaur

Curuni - witch, *sorceress, female magician (not necessarily evil)

Gorthaur - gor (“fear, dread”) + thaur (���abominable, abhorrent”)

(This is my own special creation. Obviously inspired by this dark Galadriel form)

But anyway, please add to this list! This should be ever growing and ever expanding in its lunacy. Combine and add to the different names associated with Galadriel and Sauron in the most cringiest and nonsensical ways possible.

The Gift

Mairon via ósanwë: Meet me at the forge to try on your Gift.

It's official. Martanis is Tokki's OTP! Sorta kinda inspired by Pick a Star, and Follow it Home hehe.

You're welcome to imagine when this timeline takes place. In my hc, they're preparing for war against Melkor. I know the phoenix doesn't exist in Tolkien's works, and of course, idgaf lol.

Through fire and ash, a new Middle-earth is born.

Cropped Artanis in case anyone wants to use it as a pfp! Girl, those diamonds are bigger and brighter than my future. 💎

Here's Mairon cropped and zoomed in. I actually drew him with JL's likeness first and wasn't satisfied with it. So, I went back to CV. I guess we just have our preferences! Not sure if I'll continue drawing Mairon like this.

Post-LOTR-canon WIP snippet. It's tentatively called "won't you take me where you're going this time"

Penumbra - Chapter Five

“How is it that you have the power to give me the one thing I seek… above all else? I doubt very much that Artanis and I would have this chance if not for you specifically, Mairon.” There it was again, creeping in, buzzing about his head like a pest. Jealousy. If there was one thing Mairon did not have in his endless existence, it was someone to share it with. Someone to ignite the spark within his own heart, to give him meaning, to grant him more than what he’d already accomplished. And he had accomplished much, being a part of the Music, and serving Aulë like no one else. He knew it was why Melkor had seduced him so easily. That vala was the first one to show him true appreciation. If Mairon had mistaken it for love, it was not his fault. It was the one thing he yearned for most. He was so willing to see it where it did not exist. But during his time here, with Fëanor, with Artanis… he had glimpsed different kinds of love. The all consuming and possessive kind the elf lord holds for his niece, and the sweet idolatry of a young elf with innocence begging to be exploited. And oh had he exploited it.

Warnings: Not really any smut this chapter, lots of passionate kissing however hehe. 😘

i know what the lore says but ROP.... I have some questions

now I KNOW that there is no way Sauron and Galadriel ever met in Valinor as kids. I know the lore. But... the visuals of the opening scene of the show keep bugging me, especially after there were whispers of young!Mairon potentially being seen in S2.

“Nothing is evil in the beginning” is directly overlaid on a scene of a blindfolded boy who is being guided by a tapping sound from one of the children. (metaphor?)

“And there was a time when the world was so young, there had not yet been a sunrise” the camera remains focused on this boy. With reddish brown hair and light colored eyes that… well… having this boy and the young Galadriel be the first focused frames of the show is a certain introduction.

*Pause* I want to appreciate how the first thing this kid sees when taking off the blindfold is Galadriel and he gets… this expression. Like I’ve seen that expression before. 

“Even then there was light,” is the voiceover when the boy looks at Galadriel and we and this boy are seeing her for the first time.

Notice how he is the ONLY one looking at her in this shot. As if he is the only one who can see her light.

As she is folding the origami boat, a young male voice is heard offscreen asking what is that. This is the second voice we hear in the entire show.

That’s alone is not what’s interesting. As the children approach Galadriel, the camera waits for the formerly blindfolded boy to peer his head around at her before switching to show Galadriel again.

(the boy just has a bit of a wry mischevious look to his face and VERY ambiguously shaped ears... like we know Halbrand has big ears and so are this little boy's but I've not found ONE shot where they look clearly POINTED.)

But he doesn’t talk to her though, that’s reserved for the rude boy. 

*Also* the blindfolded-boy is wearing the simplest clothing out of ALL of the children. The two other boys have gold adornments on their tunics but the reddish-brunette has nothing. It's obvious even from behind how his clothing is the plainest of all of theirs... almost like a servant.

The episode don’t show who threw the first stone (👀). Nor they don’t show which of the kids’ throws finally sinks the boat. But… the formerly-blindfolded kid is running behind the pack for the majority of the time. Meaning he may have thrown it or did he stay out of the conflict, just remaining at the fringes.

But this boy in the simple clothing loiters in the back of the pack for the ENTIRE exchange of watching her ship. Like he wants to say something to her but isn’t. 

This might be nothing... but if the show-runners truly had the main idea of basing the whole show around that line in the Mirror of Galadriel...

"blinded by the darkness, her light turned away from him, but nevertheless he gropes ever to see her. But still the door is closed.”

Somehow... this boy being the first to approach her, to almost be reaching out to see what the girl is doing... nothing is accidental in film and television. Particularly in the establishing shots of the show. It may be against lore. But nevertheless even in episode 2, Halbrand's introduction to the audience is a perfect mirror.

Major Spoiler Warning!!!

Now with the spoilers confirming we're getting multiple versions of Sauron in season 2 of "Rings of Power" and the actor's name, I think we Haladriel shippers need to figure out what to call the new pairing as I'm sure some of us will ship Galadriel with Gavi's version of Sauron too and there will be others within the shippers that don't because it's not Halbrand (even though it is LOL). Reminds me a lot of "Doctor Who" and other fandoms where this happens. To me Haladriel is only with Charlie's Halbrand version of Sauron, Saurondriel is with every form of Sauron (but I also don't like using this as I know Sauron himself hated that name which is why lately I just refer to him as Halbrand or Mairon LOL), and then Martanis is Mairon and Galadriel/Artanis but it's highly unlikely the show can use that name even though Gavi's version is supposed to be this version. I've also written Mairon in all my fics looking like Charlie/Halbrand too so that's going to be confusing in the future. It's also likely Gavi's Sauron is also the Annatar version (Annadriel?), as they're doing a version of that storyline, but again we don't know if they can use that name and it could be a brand new name. So things are going to get complicated (and even more if there's more actors and animal forms LOL) and I guess we'll likely use different ship tags for each form and then use Saurondriel for a tag for all of them. But I've also already seen posts shipping Galadriel with both versions at the same time too. LOL 😏

ETA: Also want to point out that when I mean about Saurondriel I'm also talking about other formats the LOTR has been adapted to as well, as this to me also covers the book versions as well as Cate Blanchett and Benedict Cumberbatch's versions from the films too (as I've actually seen fanart and fics now with their versions).

ETA 2: Adding on again that I also meant this post for myself incase I and others need to block the ship tag for this other version. I don't know how I'll feel about this till it airs and I'm open to shipping Galadriel with all of Sauron's forms but in case I don't I want to block the ship and not the actor's name as that's not fair to him.

Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

Thanks for your brilliant stories, everytime i reread something I just get all happy. You brought me lots of joy last year and I hope you know that. Stay safe and wishing you the best this year!

I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for this sweet little note in my inbox! I write to get these ideas out of my head, but being able to share them with everyone else and passing on a little bit of that joy and happiness in the process is a bonus that is well worth it.

Thank you for putting the precious idea of Mairon and Artanis into my head! Once I am finished with Litost, I am half-tempted to revisit that universe and write a more in depth version of those two. It would likely be rated Teen and/or Mature and chock full of UST, but I'm kind of stuck on this idea of them in canonverse Pride and Prejudice style.

. . . I'm this-close to making a moodboard for it, and I haven't even started it yet.
