Me in the group chat on the morning of March 25th, the day the One Ring was destroyed: Fun Tolkien fact! Sauron’s original name, Mairon, can be translated as “precious,” which means that when Gollum called the ring his precious, it’s like he was talking directly to Sauron. Isn’t it interesting that Sauron isn’t his first name? The Elves began calling him Sauron, which means “the abhorred,” after he started doing evil stuff. And he just leaned into the name because, well, he turned evil. Actually, Sauron has a lot of names. At different points in his storyline, he also goes by Gorthaur, Annatar, and Zigur–

My friends: Is today a Sauron-related day or something?

Me: FUNNY YOU SAY THAT–

One thing I love is that Tolkien never gives any specifics about Sauron's appearance in the Silmarillion, beyond the facts that he is "fair" and "beautiful." Unlike with many other Tolkien characters, there's no mention of his hair or eye color, his height, or anything else about his physical appearance as Annatar or any of his other fair forms.

It could just be because he is a shapeshifter and such details aren't important, as they aren't permanent, but I think Tolkien was a clever enough writer to have an additional purpose for it.

It allows the reader to picture Sauron as whatever is most fair to them.

In a way, it grants Sauron with the very power of shapeshifting that he has in the books; he can appear different to each reader and form himself into whatever is most fair and seductive in their own eyes.

objectively funny how Sauron remakes his whole aesthetic each Age tbh. First Age he’s like, “I’m the werewolf guy! I breed werewolves, turn into a werewolf, I live on the Isle of Werewolves and I kill prisoners in my dungeon there by having a giant wolf maul them to death! Rawr!”

Then he gets his ass whooped as a werewolf, and again in the War of Wrath, and every time he shows up in the Second Age it’s, “I do seduction now. ;) I’m so beautiful and harmless and I prey on your pride and ambitions, earnest and cruel alike, to lead you to your doom. Do you want to make some magic rings with me? 🥺 Do you want to attack Valinor and take back the immortality you deserve? 😘 Rawr 😉”

Then he gets his ass drowned and in the Third Age he’s just like, “Fine, I’m creepy and/or disembodied, are you happy? I’m banally evil. I have dark towers and orc armies and spirits chained to my will, and [tantrum voice] I want my Ring back! Give it back and do what I say or die!!”

Servant: My King, Elrond's been involved in another kidnapping.

Gil-Galad: Fuck!

Servant: This time he has taken the Dark Lord captive and-

Sauron: *Tied up and gagged*

Sauron: *Muffled shouting*

Maglor: He got you too? It's best not to fight it.

“He’s a war criminal” “He’s my pathetic little meow-meow” “He’s skilled in seduction” “He will tear you apart” “He’s a fallen angel” “He can still redeem himself” “He shows no emotion” “He has too many feelings” Have you considered that, in fact, he is Sauron from Tolkien’s legendarium

I am once again thinking about how good the story of the second age is, and all the fun things you could do with an actually decent adaptation. Consider:

Galadriel should be exactly the same as she is in Lord of the Rings. She is older, weirder and more powerful than any elf other elf in Middle Earth. Other elves are just as unnerved by her as mortals, and dealing with her is stressful at the best of times.

Elrond should be an absolute infant. Just, complete baby face. But everyone treats him super respectfully and he has a lot of power and influence. The energy should be the same as when the super ancient and powerful vampire or faerie or whatever looks like a ten year old girl.

ALSO there should be a tall, menacing elf with visible tattoo and facial scars who just. Stands behind Elrond looking intimidating all the time. The least elf-looking elf ever. All the other elves are uncomfortable around them. Elrond should treat them like their an Aunt or Uncle. The elf is one of the few surviving hard-line Feanorians, all of whom follow Elrond. The longer you can go without explaining this, the better.

Gil-Galad is very tired, and spends a lot of time balancing one of the most famously unstable political systems in all of Arda. Galadriel and Elrond both have factions they support to strongly to be relied on to be impartial. The reason he doesn't worry much about what Celebrimbor's up to is that he's the one member of the family who is highly unlikely to attempt something batshit nuts, and his followers are mostly moderate.

Celebrimbor and Annatar/Sauron should spend the whole series playing complicated mindgames with each other.

Annatar is playing four-dimensional chess from the beginning. For him, this is an all or nothing gamble. If he can't make the rings he won't have the power to seize control on his own. He should spend a lot of time having Light Yagami-level monologues where he tries to figure out what game Celebrimbor is playing while outwardly pretending to be harmless and normal and only succeeding at this about 75% of the time.

Celebrimbor should start of thinking the stakes are considerably lower. Like... is Annatar hiding something? Yea, but he figures Annatar doesn't actually have permission from the Valar to be here or something. Not, ya know, Annatar is secretly Satan in disguise. In the first act there should be an almost comical disconnect between the amount of energy Sauron is putting in to these mind games versus Celebrimbor.

Bonus points if as Celebrimbor figures out the truth, you intersperse more and more of his family backstory. The guilt he is still carrying for a lot the things that happened in the first age. Early on bring in the fact that Finrod went into Sauron's jaws alone and it was Curufin's fault, use this as angst material. And then as he figures out who Sauron really is, drop Maedhros and Thangorodrim in like a nuclear bomb.

Because Celebrimbor has seen this play before, and he knows what Sauron does to people. It wasn't even personal then, what Sauron is going to do to him will be so much worse.

And Celebrimbor chooses to forge the three rings anyway. He doesn't give up their locations, even with everything Sauron does to him at the end. And that should be devestating.
