Galadriel - Blog Posts

you can kinda tell who in the fandom is American or at least not European based on if they literally can not compute the possibility of a loving but not romantic or sexual brief kiss on lips between dear friends like jeez y’all can be in your feelings fine but imo the moment successfully both expressed sincere care and sorrow in a fraught episode AND provided a distracting excuse to get very close it wasn’t meaningless to have a brush of lips instead of a hug and truly moved me, and I fully am not blind aka a fan of the tension between galadriel and sauron who is pulling for idk what but something changed and sexy between them soon

Inktober Day 4

Sauron just keeps on aggressively proposing…

Musings on Haladriel/Saurondriel after the season finale fight. I thought the fight itself was excellent! This more clearly matched my expectations for how Sauron and Galadriel would interact after the reveal. Adrenaline filled combat, with unresolved tensions that could be cut with a sword. Clark and Vickers were both amazing and despite the expected direction, I found myself at the edge of my seat!

Sauron clearly has a peculiar relationship with pain, as he described to Celebrimbor. His closest model for intimacy, Morgoth, made him see pain as a game, to prove whose will is greater. In that context, it's interesting how the closest emotional bonds he is shown to have are with those who push through the pain, and continue to defy him.

Both Galadriel and Celebrimbor score victories in their "contest of wills", Galadriel through turning him down again, and Celebrimbor resisting until his death. All this to say, Sauron has a type, and playing hard to get seems to work on him!

I don't think Sauron hurting Galadriel in that sense means he is unable to love her or it was purely deception. People can hurt the ones they love all the time, after all. :) What struck out to me was that after Galadriel is wounded, he doesn't try to stab her hand or otherwise take away Nenya by force. Even through their game, even though he is twisted, he wants Galadriel to choose him, to hand over her ring of her own free will. And that both leads to her escape and is agonizingly sweet!

"god is woman..."

I mean, even in my mind, I was like 'Oh, there was a genuine connection between [Sauron] and Galadriel.' But, was there?

Yeah! [...] I think any person that he works with is, for his own benefit. So, I think he worked with Galadriel because, I think that he thought that she could give him something. — Inside S2E01, with Charlie Vickers.

Will you tell them that Sauron lives because of you?

He had many names, countless guises, but Halbrand found his peace only as a mortal smith.

Alas, the odes of sweet vengeance pouring from the she-elf's lips poisoned his diseased mind. She condemned Middle-earth to centuries of suffering and hardship, begging for the return of the meaning of her selfish existence.

She begged him for the return of Sauron.

The writers of the "The Rings of Power" were inspired by the story of Garmadon and Koko - I understand you, don't hide guys.
