An inspiration. He ran into battle, saw the King and was like

"I know everyone's hoping for a shirtless Sauron Ring forging scene, and I am too, but you know what would really make me go crazy? Sauron singing. Song magic is big in Tolkien, especially with the Ainur. And Charlie is a musician. Mcpayne, give us Sauron singing the Ring Chant in Black Speech, pleeeease!"

"Even when Glorfindel and Celeborn appear in the show, and even if they turn out to be very good looking -- for me, Gil-galad will always remain the hottest Elf in TROP, and that's a promise."

Congratulations to the 'special visualeEffects team' for their Emmy nomination! I can't say enough how proud I am whenever The Rings of Power and the people involved in the show are recognized.

you know that one game where the premise is you're a single dad trying to juggle like 4 player-controlled babies whose sole mission is to kill themselves in increasingly creative and horrifying ways? that's what it feels like to have gil-galad's job
you prevent one baby from chugging bleach next thing u know its sibling is charging straight into the pool with a toaster on its head

I'm so stressed at the moment i had no time to draw (this is something I never posted because it's part of something else) my mother was visiting me and I fixed my sleep schedule. I hope next week will be productive again. :')

"No parent should have to bury their child". We are all familiar with this theme due to Theoden and Theodred scenes in PJ movies. But it's never occurred to me that this is based on a precedent (Cirdan and Gil-galad), just like the love between Aragorn and Arwen parallels that of Beren and Luthien. Tolkien loves to repeat patterns and thus make us feel even more devastated
I think we collectively don't talk enough about Círdan outliving Gil-galad. I mean Círdan outlives a lot of people. But that's his son...
