S1E3 | Adar

Nori's father Largo mentioning losing his first wife & then falling in love with Marigold after seeing her in a field is a callback to Finwe, Miriel & Indis!

How can I be so blind to not see it before!!!

[yeesandhaws]

ok the people have spoken so here are my insane notes from TROP s1e1 (contains spoilers for s2 kind of because this is a rewatch)

PLSSS I’M DYING it started playing with tamil audio bc me and my mama (mama as in amma/mother not uncle) watching some tamil movies earlier and now i can’t stop thinking: first of all, i should lowk consider learning tamil this way - by watching shows i know and love in tamil (guys I’m a genius this is how i can beat the coconut allegations) and second of all i just started laughing over the thought of Legolas saying “they’re taking the hobbits to isengard” in tamil so asked my mom how to say that in tamil and it was JUST as unserious as it sounds in my mind, so even tho my tamil vocab is limited now i know now to say this��very important phrase 

ok let’s lock in now that i’ve adjusted the language 

bruh how are there bullies in freaking VALINOR is this not the land of whimsy and joy smh

deep ahh conversations for siblings to be have like i know they’re elves but also like BRUH FINROD AND GALADRIEL NEED TO BE CLAWING EACH OTHER’S EYES OUT NOT BONDING SMH-

(joking mostly)

the way the quality of season 2 is so clearly superior to this LMAOOO

“a symbol that even our wisest could not discern” … idk i feel like this should be pretty easy to discern but maybe that’s just bc i’m the one watching it 

i’m sorry but galadriel is sooo “i’m not like other elves” coded rn- 

like i know it’s for good reason and she’s my love and life but 😭

ELRONDDDD MY POOKIEEEE MY BABYDOLLLLLL

god he’s such a romantic and poetic also the way he scribbled out the word was so aesthetic god i love him (i am pathetic i know)

PLS I LOVE HIMMMMMM HE IS MY DARLINGGGG

the way his eyes lit up when he found out galadriel was back i love their friendship so much 

GODDD i love how the elves are so touchy and sweet with each other without it being weird like i love platonic intimacy so much 

ugh their banter is so sweet they care about each other so much my heartttt i forgot how sweet they are 

HE JUST WANTS SOME TIME WITH HIS GIRL HE MISSES HIS FRIENDDDD

ok like… i know i oughtn’t but i see why people ship them, galadriel has elrond in the palm of her hand but also like bruh nahhhhhh they are NOT-

ok like slightly off topic but im a bit in love with nori…

AWWW NORI AND HER MOM i love

“our days of war are over” famous last words (“delulu,” to quote my mother dearest)

IM SORRY I CANT TAKE GIL-GALAD SERIOUSLY NOW THAT I KNOW HIS ACTOR IS SUCH A GOOF

awww elrond is so smiley i miss his poet era

“kind as summer,” my darling my dear

god he’s so needlessly flowery i love him

HE IS SOOOO SWEET I WANT HIMMM

the way he truly sees valinor as something good because he doesn’t want to permanently lose galadriel 

and he knows the pain of losing a brother too 

he really just wants her to stay he really doesn’t want her to die 

“i have seen my share” oh my baby (cue i bet on losing dogs) (also my thoughts on this scene WILL be included in my eventual rant about elrond)

he’s so fine i can’t-

like i know he’s wrong but like he’s also right 😭

:(((( this is so sad i feel for galadriel she has seen horrors nobody should have had to endure

god he’s so noble i love elrond more than anything

“what you have always been: my friend” AUGHHHHHHH I AM SUCH A CORNBALL I LOVE THISSS

oh hi puppy dog:)

oh boy here comes the dead-end romance (my bad gang i’m a hater)

bruh who is this emo ass blond ass twig

say it don’t spray it you long grass 

and stop wasting good food and drink smh 

ew i’m such a hater of this bronwyn/arondir romance i’m sorryyy 

lmao not arondir getting trolled by his companion LMAOO

arondir is so sassy i love him

damn arondir’s friend really foreshadowed the end of this 💀

his ass is NOT leaving let’s be so fr 💀🙏

ew what 79 years i sure hope he only met bronwyn when she was an adult 

goddd i love it in the “i’ve said it in every way but words” trope  must admit 

punk ass kid interrupted the moment 

“i’m going with you” GIRL 😭-

don’t play with cursed blades kiddos…

ELRONDDDDDD :’((((( my sweet boy

damn they lowk foresaw right she did inadvertently keep alive the evil 💀

wait elrond bae what did you doooo (tbh i forgot what he did)

CELEBRIMBOR MENTIONED OH MY LOVELY LOVE

omgggh i forgot elrond and celebrimbor worked together guys i will not be normal about this

BRIMBYYYYYYYYY HE’S RIGHT THERE AHHHHHHHHHH IM SO ABNORMAL ABOUT HIMMMM

also smash-

huh who said that

not me definitely not me

bro you cannot tell me they had to stand like  🧍 for days on that rickety ass boat like that looks so uncomfortable 

npc ahh elf 😒😒

ugh they’re lowk singing so ethereally tho 

the strength she must have to be embraced by light of valinor itself and reject it because she knows it is not her time like GOD I LOVE YOU GALADRIEL

CELEBRIMBOR AND ELROND IN THE SAME

FRAME TURNING THEIR HEADS IN SYNC (i’m actually crashing out)

sozin’s comet ahh gandalf entrance 

bruh ain’t no way galadriel rawdogged the sundering seas until “halbrand” finds her bffr 

GANDYYYYY (grandelf lmao) 

[5ummit]

[suzannahnatters]

look at my war criminal parents, truly no one has ever done it like them

“You want me to steal something.” It's a translation, not a question.

"Keep your voice down," she hisses and casts another furtive look around the club. "And since you are also looking to procure some fine art, I thought we might align our interests."

Leaning downclose, he whispers in her ear, "What's the score, baby?"

"The Venus of Valinor."

Galadriel and Halbrand in @thecoziestbean 's delightful The Venus of Valinor , an AU based on one of my all-time comfort films, which I've been devouring over the past couple of days! Thank you for a wonderful read 🫶

[lack-of-surprise]

galadriel: talking about her revenge and hate for her enemy, about how she is looking for this one enemy for many decades

sauron, who realized that he is the enemy: *falls in love*

The Rings of Power rewatch: 1x02

[sauronism]

celebrimbor + annatar // macbeth, william shakespeare. ( part 1 / ? )

[yeesandhaws]

yeah idk i like taking notes on shows i watch and considering how unexpectedly wonderful i found TROP s2, i wanted to take notes on each episode and record whatever thoughts came into my head (a lot of which include me either being a hater or absolutely crashing out over elrond and celebrimbor so be prepared). these will be highly unserious but will probably be used to synthesize a larger more serious analysis :) but still not that serious bc i myself am very unserious aaanyways yeah that’s all

[itwillbeourswansong]

Because I'm going deeper and deeper

Harder and harder

Getting darker and darker

Looking for love

In all the wrong places

Oh my god...
