The Argent Cage of Durin's Bain
Tumblr media
When writing posts about Rings of Power I tend to focus on how the adaptation illustrates and illuminates the stories we know and see. So far, we have seen Rings of Power setting up major events in a way that, until recently, has not been explicitly explained/shown.
For instance, it has explained how and why when Sauron does show up, Galadriel and Elrond are not believed, etc.
*FAIR WARNING, SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT*
Yet, after talking with some people, I'd like to expand to some fan theory making as well. I've heard more than one person expressing frustration that a small leaf tossed from a tiny hole in a rock wall awakened the great Balrog of Moria. The scene in question shows King durin tossing a recently cured leaf from one of the great elven trees through a rock wall that hides a huge cavernous expanse downward, with giant veins of Mithril descending down into the deep like roots from a silver tree. At the Bottom, we see a Balrog materialize out of the darkness and roar into the screen before the scene cuts to something else.
It's an interesting scene, but I think for reasons far beyond the already known Balrog in the depths of Moria. Most interesting, is the implication that Mithril has some anti-evil qualities. It is pre-established that merely being in the proximity of Mithril cures the leaf of the blight, pushing it away from itself like a magnet.
In light (pun mostly intended) of the Mithril veins that spiral down, the implication isn't that the Balrog was ever asleep at all, but rather, it's been caged. The Mithril seems to be acting as a holding area, magnetically keeping him in the middle of the mithril surrounded chasm.
If this is, indeed, the element they are trying to portray, this says three things to me at once. 1. King Durin knows more than he's letting on. He knows something of what's down there, and is fighting hard to keep things as they are. 2. Prince Durin is mining away at the very cage that releases the monster. And 3. by doing so, he also brings about Sauron's ultimate doom.
Mithril saves Frodo's life. Interesting to consider, but one might ponder on the implications of Mithril's rejection of evil and Bilbo and Frodo's ownership of a kingly gift of a Mithril shirt.
If nothing else, it is an interesting theory.
Novaer, Mellon!

Contraversial opinion: King Durin was right to refuse the elves. All the trade in the world is worthless if he needs to order his people to risk their lives.

The Shadow was growing,s he could sense as easily as seeing the blight upon the tree of Lindon. The amber leaves were dying and it filled her with such wroth as none could forsee. As her Hroa was still healing her fea called out. And so as she awaited in the Houses of Healing in Lindon she called for her blade. The silversteel weapon as she started to sing in Sindarin, the words flitted fro her lips as she swore the oath over the weapon. Upon the tears of Vairë the Weaver, and her husband Lord Námo. Thus would she unleash the fury of her Hosue upon the Shadow, and would cut a blaze of blood across its Eye. --- Rings of Power S1E8, the finale, "Alloyed" opens with the stranger on his travels deep into the greenwood. We are reminded of the actions of the previous day as we watch the Harfoots traveling after the stranger. In the wet of the Wood the stranger hides in the foliage out of the rain. His forlorn face shows how walking away into Eryn Galen has brought him to the wonder of the land that will become Mirkwood. His travels have seem him chilled with water. Watching him stare at the apple "You are not a peril. You're good." A gift from NOri reminds brings to mind how he walked away. He seems to see a delusion of the Harfoot as his applied walk falls and a figure snatches it up. However, the thing appears to be NOri, but it shows itself to the Dweller, one of the Three Hunters seeking the Stranger. The rest appear, the Nomad and the Ascetic. All three have hunted him, but why. THey speak to him in Quneya calling him Lord Sauron. Is he really Sauron? Seriously, the Stranger is Sauron? Well, damn they went with the fucking obvious. This seems all to fucking easy. Like is this Sauron's power? I mean I thought he was a fucking Blue Wizard. I am so fucking confused about all of this.  Honestly, this all feels to damn easy honestly. Back into the actual series we see Galadriel riding to Ergion with Halbrand. Suddenly, we switch to Elrond and Celebrimbor. They discuss how to save the Noldor and the man appears to have some sort of idea. Elrond is right though, the Elves should go fucking back to Aman. You know since the Noldorin Elves literally left their home in a revenge Quest? I am looking at you House of Fe̎anor. Galadriel rushes in and speaks to Elrond. The two talk of actions no long gone, and we can see that Galadriel no longer harbors illfeelings for the man. I like how they settle in as good friends. I mean Elrond is going to marry her fucking daughter in the future. Galadriel's newly updated look on life is refreshing honestly. In Celebrimbor's office we see that Halbrand has appeared (how very fucking Sauron of him). I call it, Halbrand is Sauron. this fits all too well. He's in CElebrimbor's workshop and starts laying on the brown-nosing. He says he's a smith and he immediately notices the gemstones. Watching him snatch it all up at sounding him to alloy the mithril is interesting. This all to fucking well written. Hehe, this is Sauron, Halbrand IS Sauron. He is FUCKING ANNATAR. It's as simple as when he starts rambling about akin gan alloy, hell it was easy to see when he started saying niceties. "Call it a gift." HAH FOUND YOU FUCKING ANNATAR! Back in Armenelos Pharazon is discussing the upcoming death of the King. He talks about what they will do to build a grand monument to the King. This all speaks to how the Numenoreans will become obsessed with avoiding death. Yes, as he speaks, it almost seems to fall upon him like that lighting gin the room of how he will doom all of Atalante̎. Earien is given a portent by the King after she starts to design a monument to him. GOds, I hope she doesn't end up dying. And suddenly the King is gone after she calls for help. He reveals the way to the palantir. THe girl will see something mayhap? To turn her from the foolish path of the King's Men. THe light bathes her red dress in red as the music swells. She pulls it apart as we find ourselves now suddenly back in Eregion. They are discussing the Ring, they are talking about all of the design for the magical item they are about to craft. Gil-Galad questions the power and I like how he is hesitant. It's funny, two future ringbears, Galadriel and Elrond are present. The king is not having it. Heh, "the Low Man" Sauron is smart little bitch. As Lord Celebrimbor begins to answer the rebuke of the King we can see he does not want to give up. THis man's hubris is so massive, but I can see Galadriel also doesn't want to give up. I like how she immediately notices the words and she gets sus. Smart girl. Elrond presses, and he tosses the High King's words back at him. WE switch to the workshop where Annatar-I-mean Halbrand is starting to power up everything to begin the work of crafting the ring. This is a good scene, little details are bringing it all up. I like especially how Galadriel is being smart, and acts upon her suspicion. Halbrand is all too smug all of a sudden as he talks about offering aide. I like how that foolish exterior, the man is truly a perfect picture. He thanks her, and we can almost sense he knows. He thanks her and yes, this is a true nicely saddled villainous monologue. Damn, I like how they did this, smaaaart. Yeah, this was a nice easy twist. Back in the Greenwood,  the Hunters are here to take the Stranger back to Rhǔn. The Stranger doesn't seem to really like this, he brings up the lore around him, and he rises up. HE calls up a whirlwind around them, and yet I think they have realized he is not as they think he is. THe Harfoots find the, and we get an up in the stakes. Sadoc bemoans their status as the Dweller disappears. She's likely going to outflank the Harfoots as they sneak in to free their friend. Goldie goes around as she comes across something, and sees the stranger on the ground. That form in the bind is the Dweller existing as glamour to trick them all. sadoc is killed by one of the Hunters who grabs Nori. Heh, the fools, the fools have threatened a friend. And the Stranger has come, and he's NOT FUCKING SAURON. He pushes gainst them as the Dweller Moves to put him down and seemingly binds him with her Power.. THe scary armored one goes POppy and gets her foot staked by Sadoc, who is not dead, nicely done old man. As they prepare to harm the Stranger more, it makes me wonder. The Harfoots go all HObbit on the Hunters and literally toss rocks at them. Dweller goes for fire again cuz the bitch likes her shitty destruction magick (Skyrim joke). This is the greenwood though, a place of Yavanna Kementari, her power might hold for a bit sure, but the Ents will quash her I hope. IN the vision of Stranger we see NOri pushing the staff at him. "actions speak louders than words" That is the message she is telling him as the Hunters turn toward the Harfoots. HE is here to help, the fucker is a damn Istari! My theory is the Hunters went after him because he's a Maia in human form same as Sauron same as the IStari (The Istari are). Yup, and as I FUCKING CALLED IT HE IS A FUCKING ISTARI. As the spirits are cast away we see they are in fact Wraiths! This fucker is a damn Blue Wizard! He has to be only the Blues popped up in the Second Age. So when the Hunters were cast out you can see that they appeared like the Nazgul in the OG Trilogy. Hell, the Dweller looked like the Witch-King! Sadoc is seemingly dying it seems, as he says he's about to go off trail. So, I want to say, I was right about the Sttranger! Watching Sadoc die on screen was saddening, and especially since he was watching the sunrise. Changing to the rising sun we see the ship carrying everyone home is covered in sunlight< Valandil walks atop as Elendil walks below to speak to the Queen. Tar-Miriel is learning the way of the ship, and is learning to walk around so she can get about blind. Hiding her blindness is something that makes sense. She could lose her place for an "injury" as many went after royals for such thing. I like how she counters his offer of help in a way to his sorrow. "You once asked me why I pulled Galadriel from the sea." He gives a statement of what his name means "Faithful". The Faithful were called "Elendili" the Faithful. So about this, his name is Quenya, but it can be in a way rendered in Sindarin to have secondary meanings. This scene continues the pretty solid theatric acting of this series. The writing is a tad cheesy, but really it hits home the level of grandiose emotion we expect. Valandil calls land ho above and they separate from their collective grieving to see the shores of Aremenlos. TO see holy Meneltarma above. THe black flags fly above, the King has died, and thus the Queen Region is now truly Tar-Miriel. Or in Adunaic, Ar-Zimraphel. Pharazon sits above the dead kings body with intent, he covets the throne. IN Region we see the smithing continues as nothing will bond to the mithril. Nothing will bind to an ore capable of splitting asunder the Hroa (the body) from the Fea (the spirit). The unseen is about the spirit. And once again Halbrannatar offers up something as the scribe from earlier drops some evidence for Galadirel. Annatar knows he's onto him. She has the "Lineage" of the House he should claim to be from. But he's not, because the entire fucking family died out. And out she comes to call him out. "Tell me who you really are." Mic drop, she tosses the family tree aside calling him out. He sniffs and comes down in all his villainous splendour. I love this actor, Charles Vickers, and he reminds her that Adar was his enemy. The same man who had killed him. "I have been awake since before the breaking of the first silence. In that time... I have had many names." SHe moves to stab him and she is stopped. For she is not the White Lady again, and she is drawn into a vision of Aman, of the lands of Valinor. And she sees her brother. This is a mockery of her memory, as she sees him there to pick her up. She gets to see her brother, but oh the fool she is as the villain has created a glamour to fool her. This entire situation is so fucking condescending as he weaves this fakery before her eyes. Lol, Sauron wants peace. That's a fucking lark, yup, the peace of domination, of the Secret Flame. The fucker want's to burn it all down in adestructive fucking industry. Well played Annatar, well played. This is a well-played spell, as she stares at him with wonder and that foppish face needs to be punched. Sauron is discovered and his delusion is scattered because she is ARTANIS. THe White Lady, greatest of the living line of Finarfin. Sauron claims that he was freed by the death of Morgoth. This mother fucker is smart, but he is truly foolish in thinking he could bend the will of Galadriel. Her determination to stand is because she knows that the man was not a slave. He was the bloody Lieutnenat, the Captain who wants to free his own lord. He tries to spin her about her greatness, and this is because he knows she is a threat. The man has tricked elves before her eyes including the very children of Earendil. Heh, this idea of him spinning a love story of it, is lol. This fucker is so damn a walking story how shitty neg riddled fuckwads are. Crypto bro doesn't trick her, as she is the will of Aman. I love this scene with how he is spinning all of these lies are masterfully done. Damn, these scenes are twisting me as we just have to make Galadriel the fool. It's kind of sad since she's really a tortured figure. Elrond drags her from the water and he tells her a truth so she can tell he is not Sauron. Wow, they really are playing the idea that the "dude" is being assaulted and we can see that she is smart. She is going to rip up the little shits plan to prevent Sauron from grasping the power of the Dark Lord. And oh shit, she is going to give up her brothers knife to create Narya, Vilya and Nenya. IN the lands of the Harfoots as he says he must go east. I hope we get to see east, (that's what Rhǔn means). Heh, this convo is so proto-Gandalf, which makes me think that they really leaned into that trope. Daniel Weyman must have either spoke or studied how Ian McKellan sold Mithrandir. THe harfoots see that Marva is now the wayfinder. And she is no sadoc, and Poppy steps up to be a proper trailfinder. "I wish the old goat was still with us." This bit of the story feels so much like how the white council felt in Fellowship of the Ring. The Brandfoots basically tell her to travel off with the Stranger. So wait, is NOri suppose to be the second BLue Wizard? Well, whatever, seeing the East of MIddle-Earth will be fun. I wonder if they'll give us a view of wainriders. This shot again brings to me memories of an unexpected party and Samwise running after Mister Frodo. Hell, a bit of Bilbo running after Thorin-Senpai! Markella is a seriously good actress, wherever these geeks dig up their cast they did a good job. The music swell as we get a Bilbo and Frodo scene between Largo and Nori. They all hug as Goldie sees her off. Our wee Harfoots are just one Kindred of what we'll call Hobbits by the third age. The light again here is playing a big part. THe sun shining on the hill illustrates to me the awaiting Wizzard as he sees them all giving their goodbyes. As Gandalf does when he waits for everyone or sees the last goodbye. With one step, we see a new adventure being carved as a lone gets a hug from Poppy and she asks why she loses so much. Nori gives a good line about learning new things and I just want to sob in this happy tear-filled ending. The Stranger (who I think Morinehtar, aka Darkness Slayer). WE sweep above the Harfoots in the grove and face off toward the east. THe music lingers as he slide into the forging of the Three. The sword of Finrod Felegun son of Finarfin is melted down, An elf song similar fills the air as the doors to the forge close and Galadriel mourns for the memory of her brother. The gently camera shots are almost like a funeral pyure as the metals are split smelt. Both Elrond and Celebrimbor hold the molten ore's carrier with a soft reverence which holds respect in my eyes for Artanis. The actors give this shot a gravitas that is fulfilled as the Mithril is tossed into the ore and they spin it to craft the alloy. I can feel a sense of anticipation as if the very Lore of Gwirith is with me. This scene is one of my new favorites. The fire casting itself as three small tings are created. The little ingoes then crafted by Jewelers carefully. SO I've seen a few videos on TIktok of ringcrafting and the small shots sell this final bit for the elves. The Winding of the metal and then Elrond's nervous pacing in and around the Glanduin. Guess what he finds, the lost lineage of the Southlands. THe fact that Halbrand is FUCKING SAURON! As he climbs we see the rings are done and the gems to be set. These are the first of the twenty rings of power. As he climbs the final step he comes to stand beside Galadriel and I think he knows why she is smiling and what she has done and said what she has. Before the three of them sit the Three. Nenya, VIlya and Narya. Fire, Wind and Water. And as the camera zooms in Elrond glances at his friend, and I think he can sense that they must prepare themselves. For the Shadow has come to MIddle-Earth once again. And that their work is only the beginning of something wondrous and quite terrible for the future. Meanwhile, in the eye of Halbrandhe sits near the edge of Mordor over the burned Southlands with Mount Doom. Gay Canon Well holy shit I am shipping Earien and Miriel harder, papa Elendil as a awesome bad ass. Got some ideas for a story, I'd need a good sensitivity reader though. ANother good story would be one with Elrond and Celebrimbor and how maybe their love would be torn asunder by the actions of the Gwirith. The trickery of Annatar, and how they could not afford to be without his trickery. Hottakes:
Heh, the Hunters fucking up in the start was a good bit. Ilike this obvious fake out with Halbrand and the Stranger.
So, the three Hunters, Dweller, Ascetic and Nomad were a nice introduction of the Unseen world. THese have to be proto-ringwraiths.
Using a human for rather than the typical "Pretty Elf" was a nice spin in how
Annatar's entrancing form was described.
The reveal with Galadriel being mentally tortured was hard. This brought up memories of how victims of abuse, manipulation and worse are gaslit. The outright gasligting scene was purely villainous.
Painting Sauron as the Gaslighting prettyboy is a good decision. He's the false prophet we often see in a lot of cults and he is a fucker who likes to lie about others.
Sauron in the Simarillion was a master shapeshifting and conjurer.
An entire buddy storyline with the Stranger and Nori will be worth the wait.
I really hope Earien doesn't die in Numenor!

Muito se critica o roteiro de rop mas a linguagem visual da série é impecável, a cena em q Galadriel e Halbrand tem Adar como refém (tudo sobre Adar, a atuação do Joseph Mawle é perfeita) passa uma tensão e degradação dos três personagens envolvidos, todos moralmente cinzentos se cruzando em um ponto de decisão sobre q rumo vão tomar a partir daí. Já sabemos a escolha de Galadriel e q Halbrand é Sauron, mas Adar como personagem original da série é uma incógnita e a não renovação do Joseph Mawle no papel é uma perda.
Outro grande exemplo de linguagem visual é o deslocamento do Elrond, sempre paternalizado (e usado) em meio aos elfos q não o consideram inteiramente parte daquele mundo. Ou a juventude, força e impulsividade do príncipe Durin e Disa em comparação com o cansaço, fragilidade e sabedoria do rei Durin.
A postura dura e inexpressiva da Miriel, que tanta gente critica, é uma demonstração clara da insegurança e instabilidade do seu poder que ela tenta disfarçar. É quase impercetível como ela não se dirige diretamente ao Pharazon quando ele faz discursos p minar a autoridade dela na corte e mesmo q ele seja um conselheiro ela escolhe mantê-lo distante dando ordens diretas pq sabe q ele não é confiável. Miriel escolhe compartilhar seus pensamentos com Galadriel e Elendil.
Espero sim que o roteiro melhore na próxima temporada mas o visual e a mensagem q ele passa tem q continuar.

How the Dwarfs show PDA
Thorins company x gn!reader
Warnings: an insane amount of fluff, implied smut
Thorin
Tumblr media
Being the King of Erebor meant that he had a lot of responsibility on his plate. Even before the Dwarfs defeated Smaug and reclaimed Erebor, he wasn’t overly affectionate publicly; that didn’t change once he re-built his kingdom. Kissing is a no go, but instead he would just always have you hold onto his arm as you walked, or vise versa. But when you’re alone in your shared chambers, its like he can’t get enough of you. Thats when he always makes up for the lack of attention and affection that he can’t openly show like he wants to, but if he sees someone flirting with you then thats thrown out of the window; literally. He will pull you up onto his throne and make-out with you infront of everyone if he wants to… and he has… many times. But most of the time; not very into PDA.
Fíli
Tumblr media
Like his Uncle, he has a lot of responsibilities since he’s the heir to the throne. But he doesn’t let that stop him. Once he’s done with his daily duties as the prince of Erebor, he gives you his undivided attention and affection. He always makes sure you’re able to stretch your legs, so he usually like to take late night walks through the mines as you two attempt to not be seen by the guards. One time though you did get caught doing… something. But that’s a story for another day and time. Sometimes he will literally just slip away from the meetings to go and be with you but only if Kíli is there to cover for him. He doesn’t have a problem with showing you how much he adores and loves you, even if that means getting his head chewed off by Thorin for skipping his royal duties.
Kíli
Tumblr media
This man is literally the definition of PDA. He doesn’t have as many duties as his brother so he gets to spend his free time with you. He doesn’t care who watches you two as you walk through the halls of Erebor with his arm tucked tight around your shoulders; paired with a proud grin on his face that reads “yeah thats right they’re mine”. He doesn’t care if his Uncle scolds him for it, you’re his one. He tends to pepper kisses all over your face at random times, which inturn makes you incredibly flustered, sometimes his own brother has to pry him off of you. He’s just a lovey-dovey type of boyfriend and he is not afraid to show it to the whole Kingdom of Erebor.
Dwalin
Tumblr media
Not a fan of PDA at all. However, if he sense that you’re having an off day, or if he sees someone openly flirting with you…. well then it’s like he’s a whole new person. He’ll pull you into his chest as he rubs circles on your back, giving the person that was attempting to flirt with you a death glare and grinning when he watches them basically shit their pants and scramble away. If its the scenario where you’re having an off day he will find someone to cover for him most of the time with a threat before taking you back to your shared house as he gives you his undivided attention and affection. All in all; this man can quickly become the worlds biggest simp for you.
Bofur
Tumblr media
Like Kíli, he’s the definition of PDA. As soon as he gets home from work he’s all over you; literally. He will physically jump on top of you if you’re ignoring him, especially after a long day in the mines. Which usually leads to you forcing him to get up off of you so you can fix him a bath. Even when you’re doing that, his hands are wrapped around your waist as his chin rests on top of your head. In public it doesn’t change, his fingers are laced with yours and he’s constantly finding an excuse to kiss you. You have something on your lips? Kiss. You turn to look at him? Kiss. He wants your attention? Multiple kisses. He just adores showing you how much he loves and cherishes you, even during the journey to reclaim Erebor.
