It was just as he feared. The darkness that he had been trying to keep away from his lands, from his people, it was slowly approaching. Every day did it draw closer, and he could feel the walls of his very chambers bend with a terrible ache. The winds above were harsher, and the trees shook and swayed. Smoke was more prominent, and the scent of it filled their lungs whenever they stepped outside their walls.

  “This cannot be...”

Sauron’s Crush

[badguysgalore]

Open RP

It was done. All that time planning and hard work, all the sacrifices, and now Sauron's victory was in his hand, or rather, on his finger. This was the Master Ring, which he planned to control all the other ring bearers. As the Black Speech engraved on the Ring glowed bright, Sauron completed the forging of the Ring by reciting it.

"Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul."

It seems that I am the only person in the fandom who considers the romantic relationship between Sauron and Galadriel impossible and contrary to the canon. This is nothing more than a gross mistake of the screenwriters in dealing with Tolkien's original source. Well…

I mean, yes, it looks beautiful and dramatic. And I'm really looking forward to the second season. But can I take this seriously, like, for example, the Peter Jackson’s trilogy? Absolutely not.

🌼 Hi! I (21+) finally got around to watching the Rings of Power and now my LOTR’s muse is off the charts! I’m looking for someone 18+ to write some Halbrand/Sauron x Galadriel plots with, specifically looking for someone to play Halbrand/Sauron. Please like this and I’ll reach out!

Can one seriously be a true Tolkien fan AND a lover of the Halbrand/Galadriel dynamics in TROP?

I have been a hardcore fan of Tolkien's work for 20 years and especially enjoyed the feast of mythology that is the Silmarillion. So I'm fully aware that TROP took (too) many liberties from the lore and disregarded its time/space framework, almost as if it were a different story than that Tolkien wrote. And I don't want to delve into the polemics of what could have been done differently with the Appendixes material they owned the rights to.

What really interests me here is that much of the dynamics between Galadriel and Halbrand/Sauron, though not being in the canon/lore, stems from issues that were present there, except they lacked any romantic undertones. Galadriel has actually been fighting Sauron in her mind for centuries, and this must have started somewhere.

TROP gave its own interpretation of one of these possible starts, and as far as these two characters are concerned, it doesn't bother me. One can love the lore and at the same time enjoy an interesting, new take to two powerful characters, that creates something new with them. Is it a fanfic-like move? Yes. Is it disrespectful towards Tolkien? Arguable.

The question would then be, to what extent is fan-fiction disrespectful? Are some works to be shielded by it, up in their ivory tower to prevent "tainting"? I mean, has anyone ever created a fanfiction on the Divine Comedy? (I t'd be soooo fun if they had!). Where are we to draw the line between literature and creativity?

In the end, a work of art such as LOTR will not be tainted by any faulty rendition. If one truly loves it for what it is, and especially strip it of any religious/ideologocal layer that was quite far from Tolkien's intentions, a series such as TROP changes nothing. One will always have to go back to the book, and the book alone (possibly in the indescribably beautiful English of the original), to find the real LOTR, as all adaptations (and even translations) involve some degree of distancing from the source material.

Back to the two of them, then.

I personally think the screenplayers knew very well what they were doing in colouring the interactions between Halbrand and Galadriel with not-so-subtle romantic shades. The fact that the actors label it as an interpretation from the audience, I can understand, but if so many people caught these undertones, it's no longer an interpretation, it's simply the audience's ability to catch on the non-verbal cues, one that we almost all possess. The light, the music, the proximal distance, the cut of scenes, and, even the way the actors delivered some lines at the physical level are all cues. They cannot possibly have been ALL dropped there by chance.

So, the romantic possibility of the connection is there to be, if not seen, at least perceived in a tangible way, although never confirmed. This was, cynically speaking, a bold but intelligent move. Proof is the 130 and counting fanfics that sprouted in less than two weeks from the last episode's airing (some of them remarkably well-written).

The heroine/villain and (unacknowledged)lovers-to-enemies tropes are too powerful not to be used by a show which hundreds of millions of dollars have been poured in. In doing so, they opened up new and interesting territories to explore, that make it more entertaining for a consistent faction of fandom.

I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed the opening of a space in which two such characters might be bound to experience something akin to love that has no time enough to bloom, but that will potentially loom in the back of their minds for millennia, charging their conflict with a rich array of complex emotions, a connection beyond time and space.

Even knowing full well how doomed such a romance is, its ability to inspire amazing levels of creativity is undeniable, and as such, it can be welcomed without subtracting anything to a more traditional enjoyment of the Tolkienian lore in all its fantastic richness.

The LOTR's author loved stories, after all.

For: Beleg | @thegreatstrongbow

It was hard going. Far harder than when he first returned to being Chieftain after losing his eye. Normality had once more changed again for Arathorn, after being turned into a werewolf. And two of his biggest hurdles were in the Trollshaws. He had been stood outside of Imladris for nearly a hour, battling with himself, and finally turned back towards the Bruinen Ford. Giving up.

For: Halbarad :: @menelvagor Muse: Hal Verses: Fading Light & The Sentinel

  A peaceful, clear starlit night with the full moon shining down and bathing everything in it’s bright silvery light. Or at least… that’s what it should have been. But instead, the darkened moonlight shone down on a land broken apart by cracks and crevasses in which shadows twisted and snaked. Never dispersing even in the light of day, for the sunlight could not touch them.

  Hoofbeats shattered the eerie silence of a desolate and abandoned farm, passing thorough broken fields on which stalks of golden wheat once grew. But now there was nothing growing, except for wild grasses and the few wildflowers that could survive on the darkness tainted earth. The farmers and animals who had called this place home, were now long gone.

  Miles had already been covered by the black Rohan warhorse and his rider. Traversing the ruined landscape easily and leaving the wargs that had tried to follow, far behind. But their long journey was not yet finished, for they still had far to travel to reach their destination and neither wanted to be caught out by daylight.

Hytbold | Rohan

  Had it not been for Hal, they would never have been able to make Hytbold into the safe zone it was now. Yet to many of those outside of the Dúnedain, the Commander of Esteldin had finally followed in her father’s footsteps. A fact that was completely untrue but one they couldn’t disperse at that moment. Even though Hal had continually proven her loyalty to both Aragorn and her kin, the sceptics had still remained.

  However what many of the Rangers knew, was that Hal had been on a long term undercover mission. In Carn Dum, Angmar. One way coded messages were the only communication that Aragorn received from her. But it had given them a chance to find the burned down town and for that, he was grateful. Although still worried for his friend and second in command.

  With a message of just a few words in his hand, the Dúnedain Chieftain went to find the one Ranger it would affect the most. It didn't take long to find the older Sentinel as he rarely went far from the East Guard Tower, the one facing the direction of his Guide.

"Halbarad. I'm taking over your duty tonight. You'll going to be needed elsewhere soon."
