Literally all I've ever wanted out of tolkien adaptations is a moment where characters discuss their metaphysical existence within the given paradigms that the world itself offers and RoP made an orc and an elf argue about it onscreen and the elf came out looking like a bloodthirsty slaughterer, happy to ignore all evidence to the contrary in order to hold onto the idea that she is inherently pure of heart and soul and orcs are all better off dead because the alternative is to realise the only cosmic difference between an orc and an elf is one was tricked by evil and the other was not... And now Galadriel cannot even claim that. !!! !!! I'm supposed to not be insane about that?? I'll be dead in my grave before that happens.

Some amusing (to me, at least) quotes from my mom while watching episode one of RoP S2:

...

Halbrand: "Let my people go."

Mom: "Who do you think you are, Moses?"

...

Mom: "Okay, I kinda like Adar."

Me: (*twitching*) "Kind of? KIND OF?!?!?!?!?!"

...

Adar: "With your head at my feet."

Mom: "Oh, see, honey, you're gonna wish you hadn't done that..."

...

*Waldreg getting eaten by the Warg, Halbrand!Sauron smiling as he rides away*

Mom: "You are such a little shit!"

...

*Gil-galad singing*

Mom: "Oh wow, he's got a VOICE!"

...

Bonus round, every time The Stranger came on screen:

Mom: "It's Gandalf!"

...

When I tell you I was cracking up because of this, and because of how my poor dad kept face-palming in the background, OMG... 🤣🤣🤣

Jon: lmao I had the BIGGEST crush on you when we were kids

Damian: me too

Jon, blushing furiously: wait what?

Damian, shrugging: yeah, I thought you were cute.

Jon: so we could have dated?

Damian: yeah, I mean, probably.

Jon: Did... did you ever get over your crush?

Damian: did you?

Jon: *shakes his head no*

Damian, grinning: me neither. It just kept getting worse

LotR dudebros online irritate the heck out of me! All they do is whine and nitpick every little detail about The Rings of Power; so many of the things I enjoy about the series, they revile. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Tolkien’s works and “the lore” are not the gospel, and there is no reason whatsoever to be treating it like religious people treat holy writings.

An adaptation is never going to 100% exactly like the original work. And if you want to spend your free time channeling all of your energy into hate, you’ve got big problems. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And another thing: as much as I love Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, it is by no means gospel either. So please stop endlessly comparing the two and treating PJ’s movies as far superior The Rings of Power. Both make departures from “the lore”! And both are great!

TLDR; haters gonna hate, but sometimes it wears me down. 🙃

idk guys but im feeling quite fed thanks to that fight! sauron enjoyed the heck out fighting with his queen galadriel, toyed with her throughout - including by changing forms (so unnecessary! just to prolong his enjoyment!) - and brought up them being together at every possible turn. add to that quite a sprinkling of pain and torture (someone has an interesting relationship with it) and speaking into her mind... intruding into her flesh both physically and mentally (who said that)...

so well fed. gosh.

Sauron would absolutely go around saying "oh yeah we're trying REALLY HARD to get pregnant"

The ending of Adar and the orc's narrative was exactly how it needed to end. It was strikingly inkeeping with the themactic through line of 'everyone is doing everything they can think of to stop the horror and in doing so they are creating the horror' and was absent all the resolving narratives I was worried about. They did not give us a 'see orcs really are evil so it's fine' ending they did not give us a 'these orcs are good so they get to live but the rest chose evil so it's okay to kill them' ending.

Rings of Power said these people have been so brutalised from birth, so reviled, so hopeless and choiceless and only one person with any seeming power has ever cared for them as thinking breathing souls. And the moment they clawed out a home for themselves where they might finally know what safety and gentleness feels like, that person dragged them all back into the mud and the blood to feed the war machine like meat to a grinder. And he told them he loved them whilst he did it. A betrayal so raw and burning and painful that the desperation it inspired must have felt maddening, anything better than how much this hurts. Better an honest devil with cold demands, if war is all you will ever be allowed, than the father you love who will break your heart as well as your body, right?

And then RoP was like "So you just have to deal with that!" The orcs, like so many people in this show, will never get a happy ending, it will not matter how much they loved or cared or hurt or needed or were misunderstood. In fact, it will be precisely BECAUSE they love and care and hurt that they will never see even a glimmer of peace or freedom again!!!! And they will not deserve it!!!!!!!!!!! AND WE SIMPLY HAVE TO COPE!! Every subsequent moment an orc is onscreen will be coloured by this knowledge. It's literally so heartbreaking it's making me feverish.

My favorite love trop will always be Bestfriends to Lovers

And that had maybe to do with me being in love with my best friend for more than 4 years (actually I loved her since I met her which was for 5 to 6 years) but then she was a straight girl and I wasn't a boy anymore, and only I considered my best friend tbh- she just saw me as a regular one-

The second time I've been in love was with another straight girl (I still hadn't came out as a guy) during summercamp so it only lasted 2 weeks and I had to forget abt her after cause she was uncomfortable with me loving her 👍

Anyway I also very much like Enemies to Friends to Lovers (and i am talking about a 50 chapters slow burn), it's a sweet trop

[permanentlyexhaustedpigeon88]

So I tentatively wrote a short intro to the Marvel-themed RoP AU (see my masterlist for the mood-board, etc., if you want!). I say 'tentatively' because somewhere in the middle of writing it, I switched from "let's do this" to "everything I write sucks, and I should just stop."

Hopefully I can come back to it at some point this week, in a better mind-set, because I'm absolutely not willing to give up on the idea just yet?

(Don't mind me, it's just been one of those days).
