GALADRIEL & EREINION GIL-GALAD THE RINGS OF POWER — 2.08: Shadow and Flame (2024)

Not Elrond Peredhel looking at the orcs and going, "Wait, you can't burn the Library of Alexandria" while the others have blades to Gil-galad's throat.

That half elf has his priorities STRAIGHT.

Look! An Elrond! *clutches heart in angst*

I still don’t know what color are his eyes!!! What a elven sorcery!

I am totally in love and probably will keep drawing him until my hands fall off or the depression hits again. Anyways.

Why is he so pretty? Who let him? Let me hug him already-

Elrond setting an orc on fire for desecrating the lore might be the hottest thing he’s ever done.

*lost for words*

i’m having chatgpt create a story about gil galad. so far, i’ve been creating and reading these stories myself, but would you like me to share the stories i’ve crafted?

i know it’s DELUSIONAL but i’m obsessed with him 😮‍💨

*sobs*

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER (2022 - ) Charles Edwards as Celebrimbor & Charlie Vickers as Sauron 2.08 - Shadow and Flame

No, hear me. Hear me! Shadow of Morgoth. Hear the dying words of Celebrimbor. The Rings of Power shall destroy you. And in the end, I foresee, one alone shall prove your utter ruin!

Comfort Fics

I've just watched Ep 8, and wow, wasn't it a rollercoaster of a ride?

I've got a lot of inspiration for stories, hopefully will release them in the next few days. Seriously, the events of this episode left me in need of comfort fics and since I've been binge-reading them, time to contribute.

Comment below your thoughts on today's episode! I also wanna discuss this!

me confundí de fecha

Look, I would make the same face, ok, if dwarves come to save my ass

TROP Celebrimbor cuz his acting’s so good

I already mentioned this in my live reaction but I desperately need Sauron to be haunted by Celebrimbor in the next seasons.

Imagine Celebrimbor standing in the background all the time, quietly laughing at him, sowing doubt, taunting him. Imagine Sauron getting increasingly frustrated until he throws Fëanor's hammer at him. I can practically hear him screaming, "Why did you make me kill you?" when he struggles with forging the One Ring.

I just - I need this to happen.

Comment ROP theories for Ep 8 below! I’m busy and I won’t be able to watch the episode until much later at night. I wanna be entertained by your theories.

i still wonder how the guard could miss like that

A new poster for episode 8

Remarkable

30 Prompts: Smile

Summary: One should not bet on the High King, under any circumstances.

“I have a slight concern that we perhaps shouldn’t be betting on the king.” Daemor whispers, frantically checking to make sure that Gil-Galad wasn’t behind him as he spoke. He bites his lip as he draws level with Camnir, whose hands Rían just thrust the pouch of silver into. “How much have you got so far, anyway, and on what bets?” “Galadriel bet the High King wouldn’t smile until Midwinter,” Rían murmurs, “but I think she’s out by a month, he surely can’t wait that long --” “Sauron is back, though,” Camnir says, doubtfully, “so he doesn’t have much cause to show any positive emotion.” Really, he thinks this whole bet is ridiculous in the first place, and Gil-Galad was going to rake them ‘cross the coals if he heard about it, like as not, and he really doesn’t fancy getting into trouble. He tries to push the pouch of ill-gained silver back into her hands, frowning in discomfort. “I also haven’t smiled in a while. Are you going to bet about me?” “You’re different,” Rían assures, “you’re not the king, so you don’t have to -- as nobody is looking at you.” She takes the pouch back contentedly, and Camnir isn’t sure whether to feel relieved or insulted. Rían, though, only beams as she peeks inside the drawstring purse, a little skip in her step. “I almost have enough to buy some new oil paints.” “Who else betted?” Vorohil cuts in, curiously. “Lady Galadriel, and --?” “We asked Master Círdan,” Rían chirps, “but he just arched a brow and told us to go along and get back to our duties. We could ask Herald Elrond --” “Bad idea,” Daemor says, shaking his head. “He’ll tell the King, for a start. You know he will.” 

“He’s a spoilsport, then.” Rían hums, considering their next move. “We could ask Erestor.” 

Vorohil shudders at the thought. “Are the rumours true about him, d’you reckon?” 

“He’s not a kinslayer, if that’s the one you mean.” Camnir doesn’t know why he steps up to defend the dark, quiet scholar with the way of moving that brought to mind a panther on the hunt. “And he doesn’t eat younger elves for breakfast, either. I don’t know who started that one, but it’s just silly.” Rían decisively heads over to the dark-robed elf where he sat reading in a tree. “Come on! Lord Erestor, would you like to participate in our betting pool?” A delicate brow rises, before eyes as black as coal lift to meet her own. She gulps. He smiles. “If you are betting on the king’s chances of a positive expression,” he murmurs, deceptively quietly, “then I shall bet that he is about to have plenty of reason to smile while thinking up your punishment.” He drops a silver into the pouch. “Considering he’s right behind you.” Rían freezes. Vorohil jumps. Camnir makes certain to distance himself bodily from the others. Gil-Galad sighs, shaking his head. “Really? If the lot of you have so much energy for mischief and nothing better to do, then you can all help me reorganise the library. Come along.” He beckons the little group to follow him. “As for the silver, I shall consider that a tax to be used in the effort to pay the weaponsmiths in defense for our land - considering, as it is, that you all are betting on me.” Rían’s shoulders slump as she hands the purse over, and she gives Vorohil a playful little shove; this had all been his idea.

(She does find the oil paints wrapped up just inside of her room door when she finishes her day of working, though. As she unwraps them, their gifter does, indeed, smile.)

she's mad now

Finarfin & Finrod

baby elrond just wanted to show off his dwarf friend and it turned out entirely like i expected, no nice things for elrond, only embarassment

One of the smiths of Eregion, who survived and settled in Rivendell, managed to preserve the tiny anvil-shaped paperweight from Celebrimbor's workshop. But based on just a few words he heard from his master in the interim when Celebrimbor briefly escaped captivity, he also crafted a figurine of Mr Mouse, which now reposes on the anvil.

When I first saw the elf vs balrog scene, I was wondering

"Is it Glorfindel?"

“It speaks of a battle, high among the peaks of the Misty Mountains. Not over honor or duty but over a tree, within which some claim was hidden the last of the lost Silmarils. On one side fought an elven warrior, with a heart as pure as Manwë, who poured all of his light into the tree to protect it. On the other, a Balrog of Morgoth, who channeled all his hatred into the tree to destroy it. Amidst their duel unending, lightning ensnared the tree, forging of their conflict, a power.”

“A power as pure and light as good. As strong and unyielding as evil. They say it seeped down the roots into the mountain depths, where for centuries now, it has waited.”

Gil Galad : You are still baby to watch such adult scenes in film.

Elrond: But I am 1600+ years old. You were already king at this time!

GG: I. Said. You. Are .Still .very young.

Elrond: Cool...😑 just great

No but Gil-galad choosing to fight orcs with a spear named “icicle” in retribution for what was done to his sister would in fact be ice cold of him (and stupid hot, sorry not sorry).

Recovery after s2 ep7

Have an Elrond smiling appreciation post because this elf has the most kind smile and we don't see it enough.

Literally all the above are from s1. S2 Elrond deserves his smiles, please let him have some next Thursday.

Bonus: Galadriel smiling

We don't see it enough

FINAL BONUS

Is that a Camnir loose in the wild, I see? Nice to see him smiling too, let us hope he comes to no harm in ep8.

Elrond in 101 lockscreens

I need a scene where Gil-galad comforts Elrond and tells him that none of this his fault.

You can tell when Gil-gald looks down at Elrond in that "Durin will come" scene that he pities him, but ultimately, they are in the middle of a battle. The king needs to take charge or they'd be slaughtered.

But Elrond is shattered. And I feel like he's going to blame himself. He was the commander. He'll think, "If I had kept charging."

"If I had left Nenya in Lindon."

"If I had just done more..."

But ultimately, Eregion was falling even before they showed up. I really don't think anything Elrond did would have prevented it from being destroyed. Maybe if he'd kept charging they'd have had better odds, but they were still massively outnumbered.

And I just need Gil-galad to tell him it's not his fault.

Babes, it is INSANE to me that I haven't seen anyone else post this theory, since IMO it's super obvious how the showrunners are going to bring Celeborn in.

Do y'all know who breaks the siege of Eregion in Unfinished Tales???? Do you? Have they not twice now in two separate episodes talked about how they need ONE MORE ARMY, just one more.??

Gil-Galad already told Elrond they didn't have a big enough army to fight Mordor and at Eregion. Elrond was counting on Durin to solve this problem and now we know Durin can't come. Twice now they've opened that door like "they need one more army where are they going to get one more army."

Celeborn - that's where. that's who. that's how.

Current fandom seems to be focusing on him like a housewife or something which is bizarre to me. I guess maybe this is an effect of the Peter Jackson movies.

Celeborn and Galadriel are the original battle couple, you guys. Always have been. My guy was leading armies into the Battle of Beleriand even before Galadriel came to Middle Earth. By the third age, he has led armies in more battles than any other elf alive at that point except maybe Glorfindel. Dude commanded armies at almost every single battle from before the sun rose through to Sauron's ultimate defeat in the third age. He's a warrior.

Flame me if I'm wrong I guess, but they basically engineered this entire season to debut him in the last episode as leading an army in to save the day at the moment when all other hope is lost. Which... is exactly what happens in the books.

Granted, I have no idea where he is gonna get an army. Maybe he ended up in the east somehow and brings elves from Lorien or Greenwood.

The king’s place is where he is most needed. The Elves form ranks one last time.

No words. Just no words. Sauron tried to gaslight Celebrimbor, but Celebrimbor gagged him so hard.

All I need is a clear line of sight
