THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER (2022 - ) Charlie Vickers as Halbrand / Sauron & Sam Hazeldine as Adar Season 2, Episode 1: Elven Kings Under the Sky

I was in your place once. In the eldest of the Elder Days. Thirteen of us were chosen to be blessed of Morgoth's hand, with the promise of power. A new birth. I was led up to a dark and nameless peak. Chained and left. And after what seemed endless thirst and hunger… I saw it. His servant's face. Sauron's face. And it was beautiful. He offered me wine, red as a blood moon. He offered me wine, and on that dark and nameless peak, I drank it. I drank it all.

My poor boy got lost in his bottle. Can his dear Doctor help him?

I don’t think we talk about this shot enough. whoever was holding the camera, what were you thinking? I know nothing about cinematography, but this sure looks like these-two-in-a-relationship subtext going on

Some things I learned during the last six months. I thought I would share this with you, maybe it could be of help to someone.

Sending love

I wonder if people will ever say, “Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring.” And they’ll say “Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, dad?” “Yes, my boy, the most famousest of Hobbits. And that’s saying a lot.”

video game and film fandoms will come and go for me but the Silmarillion fandom will never die. because that book came out like 50 years ago and we're all still trying to figure out what the hell is going on there.

Average Silmarillion fan:

[galvanizedfriend]

Chloé Zhao, who just won an Oscar for best director, writes fanfiction.

That's the kind of validation I needed in my life. Thank you, ma'am.

[absurdthirst]

To all those that think there is an age limit to fanfiction or you “have to be this” to write fanfiction — fuck off.

[fadinggalaxysalad]

I hope this reaches every author on this site. If they haven’t written a word in years, only are writing in their head and haven’t put it down yet, are hip deep in their own War and Peace wordcount fic.

Not me sitting here with all of my co-workers reading my stuff. 😂😂😂

I have always imagined the moment when Sauron returns from Melkor after the disaster in Tol in Gaurhoth. Tolkien doesn't describe it and that leaves room for imagination...

Morgoth receives Sauron with a simple look of pity saying to him: "Look how you've reduced yourself..."🤣

(Since the Valars chose their physical form (fana) based on their spiritual nature, I think Melkor retained a noble form, similar to that of his brothers (like Manwe), but distorted by a lack of empathy and a ghostly beauty absent in others.)

[historyy]

welcome to the silmarillion fandom, where everyone has at least two names, your favourite characters live a few chapters at the most, and sauron is better looking than you ever knew.

Violet Hunter appreciation post

I love her so much!!! The Copper Beeches will forever be one of my absolute faves because of her

Holmes feels protective of her as if she's a little sister, but he still knows she's together and capable enough to be sent in for subterfuge

She's sharp and smart and is able to put together deductions, he trusts her judgment entirely

And when they go in to the room where the daughter is being kept prisoner, Holmes and Watson tell her to keep back because it's dangerous, but she still just walks in right alongside them, she runs down to save her boss from the dog with them, she helps carry him into the house, all things that female characters in ACD canon never do!!!

I think if ACD hadn't been allergic to women, she would've been a great recurring/supporting character

Plus Watson is even like, "It's so sad we didn't keep in contact with her, she was awesome" like come on Arthur

[anattmar]

“A king is he that can hold his own, or else his title is vain”, yes, Maedhros?

[simonabrunilde]

“The Valar dragged Melkor back to Valinor for judgment before Manwë, in the Ring of Doom. Melkor laid upon his face and begged for mercy from Manwë, but his prayers were denied.”

I wanted to draw exactly the moment after Manwe's sentence, but showing Melkor's face... And I admit it, yes, I would really like there to be a chance of redemption for him🖤

Do we have any fanfiction? 🥹
