You might be eligible for financial compensation if you too have been traumtised by Rings of Power by being made to spend hours thinking up any possible scenarios to redeem the second worst person in a fictional universe created by a man in 1930s

From a 2022 S1 interview, Charlie on 'What would've happened if Halbrand Sauron never crossed paths with Galadriel?'

Please just forget who's that character and imagine this is Galadriel and Halbrand!Sauron. Or Galadriel and Halbrand in an alternate universe. Whatever you want ;)

I have a lot of feelings about this shot. I’m obsessed with it. The tear! I'll forever HC that this was true sorrow. I think some small part of her, buried under immense fear and guilt, held onto a glimmer of hope for the person she knew as Halbrand. She couldn't resist believing him on some level that he truly did not want to harm her. The tether that anchors them together is such that she couldn’t help that small possibility take root in her heart. And when he impaled her with Morgoth’s crown, I think she was just truly shocked. Not because her fight was over and that she had presumably lost. I think Galadriel always believed she would die fighting the darkness and if at peace, she would welcome the afterlife and join those she had loved and lost. But this isn't that. It’s not that she believed she failed in her mission either. Her defiant remarks after this moment do not leave room for doubt that she has hope that light and good and the free peoples of Middle Earth will prevail. That hope was never lost.

This tear, I believe, is over lost hope for Halbrand. Mourning. I think there was a flicker of uncertainty, like a dimming candle, that perhaps there was a broken shard of Halbrand within Sauron. The part of her that loved him and was stubborn and persistent like everything else that is Galadriel wouldn’t have easily given him up. But in this moment that flame was blown out. That's why she closes her eyes shut. She will not look at him. She cannot. Her hurt and betrayal are full circle and overwhelming. And in that moment she was angry at herself for believing in him again.

I am eternally grateful to you for your kind words. Every time I start to doubt why I should continue to draw something, such comments revive in me the desire to share ideas that come to my mind over and over again. I've never been a popular artist in fandoms, it always seemed to me that I didn't fit in or didn't belong there: because of my impostor syndrome, I ended up deleting about 80-90% of my art on the Internet. But when I joined haladriel fandom, I stopped feeling lonely. I have never met so many kind and inspiring people before. Thank you!

I have a lot of plans that I want to draw for this fandom, I hope not to disappoint you.

Shoutout to the gif makers and artists who spend so much of their time, talent, and HD storage (lol) to inspire our fandoms. How often do those edits spark a debate, a meta, an observation and even writing that keeps our imaginations flourishing and fed? There is no "like" or "reblog" for that beautiful energy. So if you see a gifset, edit and fanart and it makes you even pause, warms or breaks your heart, give some notes (not even for me fr) to send that energy back. I'll add some of wonderful gif makers and fanartists here and if i forgot you or someone you also appreciate, please include them/yourself. I am just so thankful and in awe of them.
