Elrond - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

My tastes have never changed

The weird moment I'm both Elrond and Bilbo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bilbo: It happens a lot? That you have to receive unexpected visitors? Elrond: … That moment when an unexpected visitor arrives at your house and you have to change your pleasant outfit for a more beautiful and uncomfortable one, and act polite and cordially? Bilbo: that's right, and it's not that I don't like receiving visitors, but I would like to meet them first and invite them myself, instead of them appearing out of nowhere without communicating or warning in advance. Elrond: And it's not enough to receive the inconvenient visit, you have to smile and offer your best hospitality. Bilbo: and yet the inconvenient visitor doesn't realize that they are being inconvenient, and still accept the food you offered because decorum dictates that you offer it, but you didn't really want to share it. Elrond: and we stand there, in the corner, thinking to yourself that our favorite part of the house we'd like to show off is- Elrond and Bilbo: the way out! Bilbo: finally someone who understands me! And when the visitors finally decides to leave we will wave and tell that they should stay a longer, even though in our thoughts we are thanking Eru, and all the Valar, for them finally leaving! It is not? Elrond: Yes, it's exactly like that. Now that we're on the same terms, on the same page, now that you understand… Uhh… You're not such a bad visitor, but… When you and your dwarves and wizard leaving? I already have the terrible feeling of anxiety that your friends 'll live here indefinitely. Bilbo: errr!

The Battle of the Five Armies was broadcasted on tv tonight... and... I watched it.

I am so fluffing sad.

Also...

He's the only reason I survived this movie. 🖤

and she‘ll never be

she in fact, was not

Lord of the Ring: Rings of Power spoilers ahead, reading on your own risk:

So I just watched the first two episodes of the show and I am really enjoying it so far. So I was looking on Tumblr, tiktok and youtube for some reviews and some opinions because I wanted to know how other people think about the show. And I was really surprised to see that SOOOOO MANY PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE IT? like yes taste is subjective and stuff but some of those people use weird ass, relatively small things to justify their negative opinions. And in this post essay (because its longer than I thought) I want to explain a few of them and try to make sense out of this. And I also gonna leave my opinions here, just so u know.

(Quick note before this, I haven't read any ot the LotR books nor the hobbit nor any other book but i do get my needed information, just so u know)

Many people complain about how mainly Galadriel and Elrond aren't like the characters we know from LotR. And obviously their characters are different. I don't know how many years are between RoP and LotR but I guess a lot. And of course they wised up in those years. Especially after the upcoming war in the new serie (I assume there will be a war lol). No one, not even elves, are born wise. It needs time and experiences to gain the wisdom that Elrond and Galadriel have in LotR. And since they seem relatively young in RoP (I mean for elves yk) I think that they just aren't as wise as in LotR and that they simply CAN'T be like in LotR. Besides if they would be exactly the same they would be NO room for character development and that would make their characters seem flat which would be ungracious for those two amazing characters!

Young Elrond is kinda hot lol idk love him. I totally understand why he is described as "kind as the sun". Like look at the sweet little puppy on screen. Love him and I will protect him with my life and I will block everyone how disagrees. Because him being an absolute perfect little bunny is a fact and not an opinion!!! <3<3<3 (*3*)

The hair of the elves! Yes, I do that one. First of all I dont care about that hair. But apparently many people out there do so let's fucking go. Yes, the hair is short and I guess that Tolkien originally described them with long hair but idk. But like even elves are just a folk and after traveling from the valinor (?) to middle earth they got influenced from the looks of other folks. And I strongly believe that even elves do have changing beauty standards. I mean yes, we aren't elves but look at how the standards changes from 100 years back till now. And I think that elves also have changes in their standards but they simply "last" longer because they have way longer to live than any other species. And that's also why we just see longhaired elves in the hobbit and LotR.. change my mind

The costumes. Beside the fact that I think fashions standards change like beauty standards, the costume designers from RoP cant just steal/copy the exact costume of LotR. And this is because the costume designers of lotr, regardless of whether the rights belong to the film studio or not, still have the intellectual property. They sit down and did all the work. Also it would not be original if you just copy and paste it. It would be boring and flat. But nevertheless it must be said that the quality of the costumes could have been better. So at least what you see.

Durin IV (i guess) is amazing! I love him and the relationship he has with Elrond. He is amazing and this makes me love dwarves even more.

Disa (is this how u write it) is also amazing!! Except that we dont get so see any female dwarves with beards (so far) disa is everything. How she stands her ground against her husband and just how loving they are with each other. And I also believe that disa is a great example for good character work. Because one of my biggest fears was it that they create a male dwarf character and just let a female actor play it. But this is not what they did. They somehow gave it female traits (I'm not saying traits have a gender atypical speaking yk?). I just love her and the character work.

The storyline. I heard from many people the the storyline isn't canon and that this is like a fanfiction kinda thing. But honestly who cares?! Because this is a fucking fantasy book/movie series/ show. EVERYTHING in it is fictional and not real. It's just a good show so stop to search reasons to hate it.

I love the hobbit girl?! I forgot her name but she is amazing love her wow. She is such a cutie <3 (*3*)

I also love the black representation in the show. I mean I'm not black but I still love it. It shows the growth of the film studios. I mean back in the days it wasn't normal for black people to be represented in shows/ movies especially not as main characters or really important side characters yk. And yes again this is not what we used to when it comes to LotR BUT this just shows that not only new fandoms stick with the time but also "older" fandoms can change to be more inclusive.

That definitely wasn't all that I could say about the show but that were the most important points for me. But if u wanna know some more about my point of view, just ask. Thank you for reading this. Besides this is just my opinion and if u disagree that fine (except point 2, I will die on that hill). I love u all an I hope u have a marvelous day *kissies*

Adding this to my last post because it also explains a few things and I like it and it's my blog lol

Love u bye

First post and it might be not liked by everyone, but I just need to say something:

I need someone to shame Rings of Power together.

Yepp. That's it.

I mean we all know it's bad, but it feels good to repeat it over and over again. My long suffering family has had enough of me and I wouldn't like to get kicked out :' ).

And at the end of day... the best friendships bond over something they hate. (Right???)

So if you're feeling like ranting over those ridiculous hairstyles, beardless dwarf women or how much Lord of the Rings is better then feel free to message me :).

Congrats, you're a Noldor. Choose another high-king (it has been an age since the last one...)

we puttin the L in Elrond with this one, boys.
