#trop sucks

Damn. So he is here.

I actually wished I wouldn't see Celeborn in tRoP. Seriously. Sincerely. Or with whatever word that tells my feeling.

Did they really have to make him alive? Okay, I was kidding. I'm quite happy to see him alive, with long silver hair, and... well. But the truth is, I don't want to watch it. I don't want him to be in that show, where Galadriel thought her husband is dead and then started to flirt with Sauron. It's totally ridiculous to be honest. And it pains me to see Celeborn in that universe.

After all, tRoP is not happening in Tolkien's Middle-Earth, and we know this. I'm not sure if I can love him while I can't even love the story.

morfydd clark saying if she could steal anything from the trop sets it would be the novelty doorknobs is so funny. she's the best. it makes me sad to think there are men foaming at the mouth like infested mongrels to tear her down because they take umbrage with the fact her galadriel has a personality. do they feel masculine? do they feel smart? do they think tolkien is going to rise from his peaceful grave and crown them the king of gondor after they leave a bitchy little youtube comment on a fan video with fifty views? they've spent two years bullying a woman who is so adorable she would steal novelty doorknobs.

I forgot to make a post about this last week (or maybe I needed time to process what I saw), but addressing my fellow Tolkien fans out there: Did anyone else feel the urge to scoop their own eyes out with a spoon after the whole 'sympathetic and misunderstood orcs who just want to stay with their families and don't want to go to war' debacle?

Misunderstood orcs. Misunderstood. Orcs. Who don't want to go to war. ORCS. They actually showed an orc baby being held by its orc parent.

Once again... ORCS.

I am so glad Christopher Tolkien died in 2020.

My attempt to get Dall-E to show the Fëanorians somehow making it up to Vingilot to get the Silmaril from Eärendil has FAILED MISERABLY.

English (translated): With the loss of his wife, his daughter becomes the female figure of the family and he ignored her because he thought she would be okay and didn't focus enough on her, and there's a cost there by putting that burden on his daughter, he adds.

Me, spitting blood: Never! You'll get no views out of me, capitalist pig!

Amazon, Enemy Of The Free Peoples Of Earth: 🎶 we made Sauron hot 🎶

Me, thrashing: Fuck you! I have seen fanart of Sauron! Elfy twinks have no power over me!

Amazon, Enemy Of The Free Peoples Of Earth: ehh. Actually he's not an elf. He's tall and scruffy and kinda looks like Aragorn Lite.

Me, horrified: No...

My pussy, a fucking traitor: 👀 Aragorn Lite you say

Me: YOU BE QUIET. THERE ARE OTHER FICTIONAL GUYS WHO LOOK LIKE ARAGORN LITE

Amazon, Enemy Of The Free Peoples Of Earth: We even sprinkled in hints that there's still good in him! You love when there's still good in him!

Me: NO! NO!

My pussy, morally bankrupt bitch that she is, leaning forward: We do like when there's still good in him, tho

Amazon, Enemy Of The Free Peoples Of Earth: Plus...enemies to lovers...he sees her true potential...she could kick his ass and he'd thank her for it...

Me, sobbing: Alright! Alright, you win. I'll watch your show! I'll watch it!

this, however, does not

Fandom: The Rings of Power Pairing: Galadriel/Halbrand, Galadriel/Sauron Rating: E Words: 6220 Summary: After sensing a dark presence in her mind, Galadriel takes off her Ring of Power for the first time in a century. Without its protection, an uninvited guest manages to break into her dream. Halbrand knows about the Three Rings, and now that he has created the One, he wants them back.

A continuation of season one, loosely following the timeline of Tolkien’s works. Some plot, some lore, and some dream smut.

Excerpt: She raised her chin. “If your only reason for being here is to force the locations of the Three Rings out of me, you might as well leave. You will not get an answer from me.”

“Maybe I could settle with one.” A flicker of fire danced in his eyes. “An Elven Ring, and an Elven Queen.”

“Are you trying to deceive me, or are you deceiving yourself?” Galadriel snorted. “One ring would never be enough for you, and I am not foolish enough to believe that you would stop searching for the other two just to placate a single Elf.”

“Not just any Elf,” he said. “You. Your power, your ring, and you, taking your rightful place by my side. If you give me that, I will allow the Eldar to keep the other two.”

She swallowed hard, hesitating. Trusting anything that came out of Halbrand’s mouth was a mistake, but the heat in his gaze still made her heart race. When he reached out and gently caressed her cheek, she did not stop him.

“Tell me where you are,” he said softly. “Help me save Middle-earth.”

The ache in her chest returning with a vengeance. A century had passed, yet nothing had changed. Her dream had turned into a reenactment of their decisive fight on the raft, and it was reaching its inevitable climax.

“Save, or rule?” she asked anyway, even though she already knew the answer.

Halbrand’s lack of response was damning.

all the dwarves did was drop a leaf near the balrog. bro’s fragile as hell

This is the closest I could get Dall-E to come to Death of Thingol.

It's actually bad that AI products have these Victorian-era morality filters. You can't even show Tolkien dwarves beating up an elf.

Then again, it's probably good for real artists that AI art sucks so hard.
