Annatar: “Elrond spoke of you quite fondly; he said you were his greatest companion.”

Durin, looking through his most recent texts with Elrond:

Durin: *side eyes Annatar for three hours straight*

OK, is it just me, or is this the warmest and most alive his eyes have been all season???

I wonder if in-universe, any of the characters are going to comment on Sauron's hair-bow or if everyone is going to just pointedly ignore the fact that the literal Dark Lord of Middle-earth is walking around with his hair done up like a princess.

I made a perler bead Annatar.

Did a quick sketch for a chibi Annatar design I've been playing with. Liked how he turned out other than his legs being a little too short because I ran out of space on the scratch paper.

I just re-watched ROP S2E5 for my third time, and I can't get over the fact that I can just... turn on my TV... and see live-action Annatar walking around and talking. He's right there. He's just a guy. He's gorgeous and creepy. 13-year-old me who had just finished the Silmarillion for the first time and fallen down the deep end with Sauron would be shrieking that one day she'd get this gift. I can't still believe it's completely real.

Sauron's "CAPtiVATing" has the exact same energy as Jafar's "ecSTAtic" from the animated Aladdin.

OK, but he's in the forge and he's got a spear. Do you think it's for... *whispers* a banner????
