All the RoP finale shows is how phenomenal it stands alone, and how it ties to the movies perfectly!!

Began with elves, dwarves, a human heir, a wizard and Harfoot and ends with elves, dwarves, wizard, a king and hobbits

Can’t wait for S2!

You know every time I re-watch Rings of Power I pick up on details that I didn't notice in previous re-watches, this time round I noticed that Halbrand said "looks can be deceiving." I don't know why I didn't pick up on it before, but that is a suspicious thing to say.

Theo gets to keep Galadriel‘s sword.

He. Gets. To. Keep. Her. Sword.

Remember the first episode?

„Who Am I without it“

The symbolism.

The magic.

Galadriel is slowly becoming the elven Queen we know. She will be amazing without her sword. And she is slowly realising that.

My prediction on what the five seasons of LOTR: Rings of Power will look like (and we'll see how well this post holds up, lol).

Season 1: (Obviously) Intro and making of the Three Rings

Season 2: Making of the Seven and Nine Rings, and the making of the One Ring

Season 3: Sauron's war on Eregion and the corruption of the Nazgul

Season 4: The Akallabeth, the Downfall of Numenor

Season 5: The Last Alliance of Men and Elves

The series will end with Isildur cutting the Ring from Sauron's hand, Isildur's demise, and the Ring being lost in the Anduin

#rings of power #rop #trop #just for funsies #to see how close I get to being accurate #rewatching S1 for the third time right now #and having ROP thoughts

i can’t decide which would be hotter: halbrand being just some middle earth dude (like we thought he might be pre-ep 8), or halbrand being sauron (which he is)

#rop #rop spoilers #halbrand #ramble.txt #i think i might be considering a fic grrrr where he is actually just halbrand some random middle earth dude #i really like him as sauron too and skdjfnkg he soldddd that reveal scene fuckkkk #but i also feel like we didn't get enough of halbrand from a fandom pov #if i wrote rop though i'd probably do what they did #esp with an 8-ep series #but if it was the old style of TV where you had filler eps and much more eps per series #well the reveal would've still been at the end of s1 but s1 would've been like at least 12 eps long #and we'd have more fun filler stuff #although galadriel is not very much in the mood for fun #idk what i'd have done differently if i'd written rop. probably not a lot tbh #the mystics felt a bit extra/resolved too easily #like they were just there to be a red herring... it was a bit meh #and i suppose celebrimbor and halbrand!sauron being buddies and nerding out could've been a bit longer/more developed #but also the way they did it with the time pressure the elves were under #what else were they gonna do once that setup was in place #celebrimbor never bothered to wonder why some random middle earth low man dude knew a fucktonne about forging lol #anyway i'm listening to the ep 5 soundtrack #specifically the second last track (the end of the ep before the credits) over and over again #i like the drum thingies sorta kickstarting/delaying the trumpet version of halbrand's theme #it kinda sounds like it trips... like your heart skips a beat when you see him dressed up all fancy #(and kinda looking like aragorn lol)#okay wow i rambled

Sauron and Fem!Reader Observe Ramadan Together

Sauron had always believed that his power and might were the only things that mattered in the world. He was the Dark Lord, the ruler of all that was evil, and his armies were unbeatable. However, all of that changed when he met Y/N.

Y/N was a beautiful and devout woman who was observing the Ramadan fast. She had caught Sauron's eye in a marketplace in Harad, and he found himself inexplicably drawn to her. Over the next few weeks, Sauron watched as Y/N fasted during the day and devoted herself to prayer and charity.

As he spent more time with her, Sauron began to question his own beliefs and actions. He saw the kindness and compassion in Y/N's heart, and he realized that he had been wrong to think that power was the only thing that mattered.

One evening, as Y/N was breaking her fast, Sauron approached her tentatively. "Y/N, I have something to tell you," he said. "I have been watching you over the past few weeks, and I have come to realize that I have been wrong about many things."

Y/N looked at him curiously. "What do you mean?" she asked.

Sauron took a deep breath. "I have always believed that power and might were the only things that mattered in the world," he said. "But watching you during Ramadan, I have come to see that there is more to life than just that. I want to abandon my cruel ways and join you in observing the fast."

Y/N was stunned. She had never expected the Dark Lord to show such vulnerability and humility. But she could see the sincerity in his eyes, and she knew that he was serious.

"Of course, Sauron," she said. "I would be honored to have you join me in observing the fast."

And so, Sauron and Y/N spent the rest of Ramadan together, fasting during the day and breaking their fasts together in the evening. Sauron felt a newfound sense of peace and purpose, and he knew that he had found something truly special in Y/N. Together, they would continue to seek out the light in a world that was often consumed by darkness.

your eye,

admin sav

Rings of Power: 5 Reasons It’s Not a Good Show and the 1 Good Thing About It

*Sigh* I had such high hopes when it was first announced that we were getting an LoTR series. Was so excited when the speculation was that it was going to be a story in the First or Second Age. Thrilled at the idea of Galadriel being the lead character. Expectations were quickly tempered with the first preview. And now I can say all of my fears of what that first peak hinted have came to pass.

First things first, I’m nowhere near a Tolkien scholar. I know only a small bit, but I know enough of cannon for me to have expectations of certain characters. And, I know that’s partially a me problem, but seriously, if you’re going to say that you’re doing Galadriel in the Second Age, I don’t think it’s completely my fault that I’m disappointed that I didn’t get anything like what I expected. You chose to make your main character Galadriel as opposed to making up an OC. And I get that was for name recognition, but that also means you’re setting expectations, which the writers definitely did not fulfill. Regardless of expectations, though, RoP just isn’t a good show. I spoken to a friend a lot about this and I’ve said as an LotR show, it’s bad, but even if it were just a run of the mill fantasy show, it would be mediocre, at best. And here’s why - and, yes, here be spoilers!

5. …because plot

What I mean by this is too much in this series happens because they’re just looking to move the plot along. Arondir gets captured but we need him back with Bronwyn and in the fight, so just have Adar let him go. We want Galadriel to return to Middle Earth in glory so let’s have Mirel do a complete 180 because the leaves are falling from the tree. Galadriel’s only hope to keep Mirel and Numenor in the fight is for Halbrand to agree to return as a king so does, even though, two episodes ago he was begging Galadriel to let him live in peace. Oh, and Halbrand is Sauron, so, why the hell did he save Galadriel from drowning in the first place? There’s no rational reason for these decisions. And really, it cheapens things. Nothing seems earned. Everything just goes the way it needs to because plot.

4. You know they live forever, right?

From (almost) the moment they introduced Celebrimbor, I was mystified at how they had him act. All of his bluster about wanting to do something great, to create something great. He sounds like mortal man who’s realizing that his days are numbered and wants to ensure he leaves a legacy. (And, I’m going to speculate, he’s likely to cause a lot of trouble in the pursuit of this.) It was the most nonsensical

thing. Not only because, as the title says, elves live forever so I can’t really see legacy being something they worry about, but also this guy is Feanor’s grandson. If there’s anyone that should know better about the danger and price of chasing greatness, it should be that guy!

Also, this guy is apparently the greatest smith of his time and he doesn’t even know how to combine alloys…

3. 2 + 2 = 5?

Okay, I know that at times we have to suspend belief and that movie physics, movie time and space don’t always correspond to the real world, but RoP took that to the extreme. Right from episode one, Galadriel tries to swim back to Middle Earth from Valinor?!? (Also, that little boat that they shoved the elves in to go to Valinor seemed rather small and uncomfortable for a journey of that length.) Then, of course, you have the Numenorians arriving in the village just on time. Forget suspending belief because heroes always arrive in the nick of time, how did they even know where to go? Also, horses cannot continually gallop. And they can only travel like 35 miles in a day, tops. And considering they were carrying fully armoured soldiers, I’m gonna say that those horses aren’t going to manage even that. And, of course, all of that came over on 3 boat

2. That’s not how Valinor works!

Okay, this is a cannon thing, but I really can’t get over this whole Valinor is like Heaven. A reward for elves who’ve done enough good. Just no. Elves we’re never meant to stay in Middle Earth. Middle Earth is for men. And no elf, no matter how powerful can declare who returns to Valinor and who stays. The call of the gulls, the pull of the sea, this is what calls elves home into the west. Well, that and the Valar.

Strong Female Character TM

And, yes, Galadriel, or this character that they’ve named Galadriel, is the absolute worst part of this show. Note, this has nothing to do with the actress. She works with what she gets, which unfortunately is all the worst traits of a stereotypical “strong female character”. Angry, entitled, self absorbed, and always convinced that she is right. Throws a tantrum every time she doesn’t get her way. This is who the writers decided the Galadriel of this verse would be. What a travesty!

They took a character who should be wise, powerful, well respected, with over two millennia of life experience and an understanding that the past cannot be changed and the future will be what it will be, the character described as “the greatest of all elven women”, and slapped her name on a whiny brat. And the worst part is, none of her flaws are actually presented as flaws. She’s rarely gets called out on her terrible and hypocritical behaviour, and worse, she gets rewarded for it.

Her behaviour and the way she gets away with everything means that I don’t have one ounce of sympathy for her. I don’t care about her loss. I don’t care about her grief. Because she hasn’t shown that she actually cares about anybody else’s. Instead, I spent most of my time yelling at her character, “Not everything is about you!”

Honestly, at this point, I’m almost Team Sauron, because at least his character has the potential to be fun.

The One Plus

I’ve written off RoP and will not be tuning into season 2, but there is one thing I will miss and that’s Elrond and Durin and their friendship. Maybe that’s three things, but seriously, this plot line is everything that I wish the rest of the series was. Two mature characters who aren’t perfect but have good hearts and put their ppl and their friendship first. Naturally, conflict comes out of these competing interests, but they deal with them with honesty, and it’s refreshing. No self-righteousness, no presenting them lying (even if inadvertently) to each other as right or doing the wrong thing but it’s for the right reasons. Just truth, understanding, and faith in their friendship.

These are the two I root for, that I feel for, that I worry for. I know Elrond has to survive but I worry for him because I care. And I don’t even want to think about what happens to Durin. I’d take a whole series dedicated to just these two, and Disa! And, honestly, it’s frustrating because I consider this plot line, these characters, these relationships to be amazing, and if the show were even mediocre I might consider tuning into S2 just for them. But it doesn’t even reach that bar. So I wish you Namárië, Rings of Power. Though I don’t have much hope of you being good, if I did would have stuck around.

*listening intently to Rings of Powers’ Sauron’s theme*

1. I quite like it

2. I fully recognize my “Clamavi’s renditions of all Tolkien poems&songs live rent free in my head” bias, but there’s at least one part in this track that reminds me of their version of the battle of Finrod and Sauron, Valinor’s lament from Galadriel in the Fellowship. It means nothing (it’s not even that similar, really, it’s a fully personal “oh!”) but I love the... familiarity of it. Recognizing it.

Can’t bloody explain it in english, the heatwave’s frying my brain.

#that said and now that the music confirms he'll be in S1:#please please please the actor MUST be perfect #tyelpe was enough of a stab in the heart i can't survive another one #not for THE character the entire bloody show revolve around #*revolves #damn you and your s for the third person english #lotr on prime #lotr rop #rings of power
