Adar x Celebrimbor Edit

(screenshots via cap-that.com) (my other trop edits)

My headcanon for this scene would be 'Celebrimbor trying to convince Adar that besieging Eregion is a really, really bad idea', but in general I am very open to ideas about what this scene could be about.

Happy Birthday John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (January 3, 1892 - Setember 2, 1973)

“It is rather as if some strange spirit had taken on the guise of an elderly professor. The body may be pacing this shabby little suburban room, but the mind is far away, roaming the plains and mountains of Middle-Earth.”

There is no peace to be found for you here. And nor for me. No lasting peace in any path, but that which lies across the sea.

Adar x Celebrimbor (Silverscars) Edit

No idea why, but I kinda wanted to make it look like they are arguing a bit in this one, or as if Adar just told Celebrimbor something he didn't expect. Maybe Celebrimbor is trying to make Adar stop the siege, or maybe Adar told the smith something about Sauron. (Maybe he's proposing a political marriage and Celebrimbor is a bit torn at first?)

Again, feel free to come up with your own ideas!

THE RINGS OF POWER S1E6: Udûn

I know Charlie is really tall, but I'm still laughing at the height difference. Amelia is so tiny next to them, and not even Charles can compete with Charlie. It's like Morfydd said, Sauron is just a big cat who hates to be touched.

I love the idea that @rey-jake-therapist has proposed: that this shot here is a callback to this one in “Adrift.” I agree that this parallel is a strong one. And that next to Galadriel’s broken body, the shadowed outline of a person, presumably Sauron, can be seen. The poetry of such a thought: not just that someone had been there, that someone was meant to be there, but perhaps that someone is there still. There’s an imprint. In another world, the unseen one, or a dream, Halbrand is there still. “He never left.”

It’s clearly shown in TROP that this is their recurring theme. Sauron is the voice that beckons her. It is his presence that she feels in her dreams. He is the last thing she senses before she awakes. It is his face that haunts her in that waking world.

And it's a beautiful and ghostly image that this is something Galadriel and Sauron share. Sleep is not only an intimate act. Aside from the obvious psychological and sexual symbolism here, the Freudian theories and incubus myth -- the implication here is the subconscious connection. In the subconscious and dream world, unexpressed desires can be revealed. Truths are uncovered. Or unrequited fantasies can live uninterrupted. Without the constraints of reality or society. And how moving is it that this is where Galadriel and Sauron are tethered?
