Tol and Smol
Morfydd Clark as Galadriel and Charlie Vickers as Halbrand in Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, S01E03
Galadriel in love with Halbrand confirmed!
Can we please talk about the way Halbrand!Sauron calls out to Galadriel when she is pulling away from him—even as her brother—when he asks her to touch the darkness once more?
The anguish, the panic, the desperation of: “Come back to me. Galadriel. LOOK AT ME!”
Because he knew. He told her this would happen.
“When these people find out what I’ve done they’ll cast me out. And so will you.”
But there is something despairing in him, something that has always yearned for her light, for the light she has professed to see in him. A light he longs to see in himself.
“Galadriel, look at me. You know who I am.”
Did he even know?
Somehow she had muddled it all, every perception he’d had of himself, of what he had been, of who he could be. Every interaction... it wasn’t all politicking, all manipulation; there was hope there—a fool’s hope—wasn’t there? Somehow obscured between the lines of their shared, combatting amalgamation of light and darkness—blurred between the lines of their words, of them, body and soul.
If he could just bind it to his very being.
She was out of his reach. A brilliant and blinding and searing light to his darkness, never diminished where they touched, mingled, entangled, but nebulous, a gravity all consuming and devouring.
She had felt it too.
Two rings. Two. Bind yourself to me.
“You bind me to the light and I bind you to power.”

They better follow up with this, keep the mind games going, let him continue to attempt to lure her in. If they rushed to this end in season one only to leave us with the glimpses and ties to what lingers for Galadriel in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings I’ll be so upset.
Enemies to lovers be like “Don’t die, I’m the one who gets to kill you, okay?”
