Gil Galad is thick, he's got a deep voice, is like 6'2, has beautiful long hair, can sing, is a high king with at least a thousand years of familial trauma weighing him down, and he wears lots of jewelry, did I mention he can sing?
Having an epiphany over him using Morgoth's crown specifically to pierce her heart right after the episode where he tells Celebrimbor that brutality and violence are the only forms of intimacy he ever knew at Morgoth's side. The doves are dead and this is his love language.
Nothing irks me more than people saying Morfydd’s Galadriel is inaccurate because she doesn’t act like Cate. The elves of the 1st and 2nd age had insane personalities, they waged wars, and turned their backs against the Valar because of their pride and arrogance. GET OVER IT.
“Sauron and Galadriel aren’t going to have anymore scenes together after episode 8”
Do yall not realize she establishes Lothlorien to be next door neighbors with him for 3,000+ years? 💀 She has a perfect view of barad dur right from her bedroom balcony pls stop being dramatic.
I find it so interesting how he could've easily taken Nenya from her, as easily as he got the elves to kill each other with the flick of his hand. He always goes out of his way to give her a choice. There is nothing he wants more than for her to choose him.
Why the hell am I seeing this from the POV of the trees now?! Seriously, where are all these new angles coming from? Are we getting a Haladriel cut from the perspective of the forge mouse next or??

yall were crafting up the craziest theories over who she was going to be and why they made her and galadriel look so similar and it turns out it is once again the show just making everything about haladriel
Sauron, the great deceiver, the abhorred, the lord of the rings, who in the blessed days was Tar Mairon, the admirable and the greatest disciple of Aulë :((
The thing is, Rings of Power did not "disrespect the source material" any more than the Peter Jackson movies did. Some of you will even insert Peter Jackson's choices into the book canon where it doesn't exist. That's why I can't take any of the fantasy bro man babies seriously
my hot take is I still believe the hate Rings of Power got was largely social contagion and motivated reasoning by people who wanted to hate it more than the show actually being bad.
Hot take, I think Galadriel knew very well she was dealing with a liar and an opportunist the moment she got on that raft with him, she just didn’t say anything because *she* is an opportunist too and she saw how their interests could be aligned + he is tall and has a big dick
SAURONDRIEL: “I say to you Frodo that even as I speak to you I perceive the Dark Lord and know his mind, or all of his mind that concerns elves, and he gropes ever to see me and my thought but still the door is closed.”
making something and -- all these alternative angles are killing me?? galadriel's perspective of how he looks when she first sees him, this one seems a little softer
#haladriel
Yeah, we need to talk about this, entire kingdoms will fall to their knees for this, legions will carry his banner, the one and only true heir of Morgoth
As a Haladriel, Annatars touch aversion with other people is hilarious mostly because we know that with Galadriel he would take any chance he could to be touchy with her. And even as they presented it, thinking about her is still the only thing that softens him.
so he is definitely “saving” her from the orc cage, they’re going to fight, she’s going to lose and be taken as hostage and thats how the season will end :)
"You said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!

Ships belong to fans. Wild concept but I don’t think we should gaf what the actors, showrunners, or directors think. We create our own canon in art, fics, discussion, etc. What happens in the show will hurt a lot less that way. Nobody’s allowed in this house except who we let in.
I ship sauron and galadriel together AND I was reading the Silmarillion when I was in my mothers womb, you don't need to "well actually 🤓" loresplain to me, I will just block you.
When s2 of Rings of Power comes out and everyone finally starts letting go of the manufactured hate produced by incel scum about the show, I just want everyone to know I've been here rooting for it since before the first sunrise blooded the sky.
Antis taking up so much space that it has manifested into this level of abuse and public harassment should be a genuine cause for concern. What is happening to Molly X. Chang is terrifying and any aspiring writers or avid readers should be standing up to this bs
I find this exchange really interesting. Two times she tries to speak to him in Sindarin. But he goes back to the English/TROP Common tongue. It could be for the audience's sake, but l think it's meaningful that she tries to get closer to him via language but he rejects her.
BTW I am aware Galadriel can have a husband and a daughter and be a war commander all at once but the world isn't going to stop spinning just because they aren't included right away and the constant insistence that she needs that in her story is getting weird and annoying.

My theory is that we're going to get an opening scene exactly like this, with "nothing is evil in the beginning," but this time it is Charlie narrating instead of Morfydd and we'll get to see Mairon in Aulë's forge before he turned to the side of Morgoth.

SPOILER WARNING
🚨EXCLUSIVE: A new actor will play the “Original Form Sauron” Character form in the later episodes of The Rings of Power Season 2, not Charlie Vickers.

Sauron says Galadriel's name like it's the most sacred thing to ever grace his tongue, like fresh water after weeks of living in drought and they want me to just be okay and move on after all that???
Im like… in a state of shock that he looks this extra beautiful just like this and they still decided to put him in elf cosplay. I seriously hope he still looks like this in the ósanwë between him and Gal
People have been misinterpreting his characters since he was alive. Trying to say that Sauron is absolutely evil with no complexity or emotions, especially in the beginning, is just wrong.
"Nothing was evil in the beginning. Not even Sauron "
Also Tolkien in the Silm & letters : Sauron attempted to repent
Weird incel : It never happened, this is all made-up 🙃
maybe we can let them continue discoursing about orc families so they won't notice Sauron and Galadriel are about to kiss with tongue for the season finale
I can NOT believe they are actually going to use Galadriel as bait for him because they know he will come running the second he sees her across that field
