ROP 💍 Screencaps

Are we about to outdo the awkward ass Dwarf/Elf dinner scene from season 1? I wish Celebrimbor was here.

"He has dwelt in the West since the days of dawn, and I have dwelt with him years uncounted; for ere the fall of Nargothrond or Gondolin I passed over the mountains, and together through ages of the world we have fought the long defeat." [The Fellowship of the Ring]

I'm so fucking scared

Among those of his servants ... the greatest was that spirit whom the Eldar called Sauron, or Gorthaur the Cruel ... in after years he rose like a shadow of Morgoth and a ghost of his malice, and walked behind him on the same ruinous path down into the Void. [The Silmarillion, Valaquenta]

The master of the house [Elrond] was an elf-friend ... whose fathers came into the strange stories before the beginning of History ... in those days ... there were still some people who had both elves and heroes of the North for ancestors... Evil things did not come into that valley. [The Hobbit]

I have to admit, as someone who wasn't totally vibing with "Annatariel" compared to Haladriel... I see the appeal now. I mean it has a sort of "cousin stuff" aura but--

Now the Elves made many rings; but secretly Sauron made One Ring to rule all the others ... much of the strength and will of Sauron passed into that One Ring ... and Sauron forged it in the Mountain of Fire in the Land of Shadow. [The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power...]

I hope he plays this character into season 5. Give him a hideously scarred appearance and the armor, let him go full Phantom of the Opera. I don't care just have him in the role until the end.

"I perceive the Dark Lord and know his mind ... and he gropes ever to see me and my thought." [The Fellowship of the Ring] He perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavoured therefore to placate her... [Unfinished Tales]

I'm drooling I'm tweaking I'm no longer sane I'm cooked I don't even know how to process that trailer It’s so over we are so back it has never been more over I feel so overstimulated what do I even say help

Imagine they drop a contrasting Galadriel poster next, with Arondir, Elrond and Gil-galad behind her, and she's standing in a beautiful natural environment.

Rings of Power fans send Buzzfeed all your best memes

Look what you have done to yourself.

McPayne: you got that brutal torture scene done? Charlotte Brändström: sure did boss. real fucking sexy just like you asked McPayne: what

He's so fucking scary in this scene

No. You are their prisoner. Sauron... Lord of the Rings.

Estrid: My mum died of an illness. How about yours? Theo: My mum was shot by Orcs. And yours? Isildur:

In honor of Rings of Power posting a video that's just stuff we saw in the teaser, I will be reposting my own posts and contributing nothing new. Solidarity!

> wants to bring beauty to middle-earth instead of war > creates objects that will generate endless wars for 3000 years > doesn't elaborate > fucking dies

Now the Elves made many rings ... the power of the Elven-rings was very great, and that which should govern them must be a thing of surpassing potency... [The Fall of Númenor]

People are asking me why I haven't posted a season 2 screencap for 20 whole days when I was so close to finishing the season. You must understand, I mean to stand in solidarity with the Rings of Power marketing team. I, too, will post nothing.

The Balrogs ... were spirits of destroying fire, chief servants of the primeval Dark Power ... supposed to have been all destroyed in the overthrow of Thangorodrim ... it is here found ... that one had escaped and taken refuge under the mountains of Hithaeglin [Hithaeglir/Khazad-dûm]. [Letter 144]

Amazon: This is the third time we have done marketing for The Rings of Power, and we have become exceedingly inefficient at it.

I'm hearing there'll be a third season of The Rings of Power this year. Anyone know if this is true?

The power of the Elven-rings was very great, and that which should govern them must be a thing of surpassing potency... ... so great was the Ring’s power of lust, that anyone who used it became mastered by it; it was beyond the strength of any will (even his own)... [The Fall of Númenor]

"I wish to heal... all Middle-earth." "Like you have Eregion?"

Do you wish to heal me?

So I hear Galadriel will be engaging in a playful duel with Celeborn in season 3. Really interesting stuff.

He's looking at her like it's not all his fault 🙏

If Amazon releases a Rings of Power trailer this week I will pretend to like Celeborn
