My Humble Opinion: Nicola Coughlan is hands-down the prettiest of the main actresses on Bridgerton.

My New Obsession: I would really love to see her as young Celebrian matched up with Robert Aramayo's young Elrond.

I've often seen Celebrian being imagined by her fans as a shorter and curvier-figured elf, which I also love, so this fancast doesn't seem off-base.

But it's okay if no one agrees with me. This has become a vividly clear thing in my head now. Young Elrond and Young Celebrian are meeting and falling in love in the Second Age and it's so pure and beautiful. I'm inspired.

I may have also just seen the trailer for Bridgerton S3 and I'm vibrating with excitement for the Polin storyline.

Celebrian's design for my Rings of Power AU celrond fic that i plan on writing real soon! A little different than my canon celebrian in that she's a bit taller, and a bit more stocky (vs chubby). She's a super adventurous and curious person (she would get along SO well with Nori) and loves to make and invent things. She would also get along pretty well in Khazad-dûm, cause she'd just be like "how did you make that? How did you mine that?? Teach me everything!!" haha. In the human village she and Celeborn reside in the beginning of the fic she's kind of a jack of all trades "Fixer" so-to-speak. She's also has a bit of her mother's temper, but she's generally very very slow to anger. She's no stranger to death, having seen a few generations of human friends grow old and die, but has never seen too violent a death, which causes some shock to her later on--also, her father is the only elf she's ever met growing up, and Elrond is the first elf she meets when she leaves the human village--and she's all like "Omg! Another elf!" haha. Overall, she's both experienced and inexperienced in the world. She grew up sheltered in a relatively protected and secluded human village, but she's not too too naïve despite that.

A new elven illustration!

My top elves from Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power. Elrond, Arondir and Galadriel.

9 more elves to go 🥳 I'm starting to feel like I will be able to finish them on time! 🤩

#rings of power #i love this art style! #they're gorgeous!

Okay my pet The Rings of Power conspiracy theory is that Elrond will grow his hair out as he gains position. 🙏

Here's my @officialtolkiensecretsanta gift for @monroesimons! She requested "the fluffiest, happiest thing you can give me", so here is Elrond and Durin enjoying a cozy fire and a warm drink together! Hope you like it!

New Rings of Power cast members (barring Sam Hazeldine whom we know will be taking Adar over from Joseph Mawle) and my guesses (deep desires) on who they might be playing from top left to bottom right; Yasen ‘Zates’ Atour who I am hoping will be Cirdan, Gabriel Akuwudike who GOD I want to be Anarion so badly, Amelia Kenworthy who honestly like.. if they were going to cast Celebrian for this adaptation this is the actress they’d go for she looks even younger than Galadriel by some miracle, Nia Towle who I’m actually going to go ahead and say might be Isildur’s eventual wife? She needs to exist so!, Ben Daniels who might possibly be Narvi and I’m hoping isn’t Celeborn given aforementioned incredibly young looking Galadriel, and lastly  Nicholas Woodeson who I suspect might be Amandil? He is a little too old for Amandil to my taste but he’s got a good face so I’ll accept him.

#ooh cool #news and shit #those would all be very interesting castings

Exorcising the ROP demons by doodling.

Look, cancel me if you want, but ROP actually isn't half as bad as y'all made it out to be. Yeah, I said it even as a fan of Tolkien's books!

#WHAT is this #and why is it oddly compelling #curse you and your correct opinions!

Headcanon time! Arondir is from Doriath originally and was able to escape to Sirion during the Second Kinslaying. He then survived the Third Kinslaying (obviously) and followed Cìrdan. He fought in the War of Wrath but wasn't really part of the main action.

In Doriath, he was a farmer (or "grower" as he said in episode 1) and his sister was a royal babysitter essentially. Sometimes, when Eluréd, Elurín, and Elwing wanted to go out and explore, she'd take them to Arondir's farm. She died trying to defend the twins from Celegorm's servants.

Arondir is probably one of the only people left alive who actually knew Eluréd and Elurín.

#rings of power #it's a good headcanon

So....why WERE the Mystic ladies looking for Sauron in a burning meteor crater with no memory?

Exactly how badly DID Adar fuck him up?

#rings of power #WAIT WAIT WAIT #new theory: #the Mystic Ladies are a Sauron science experiment #that's why they're all wraithy

My favorite original character of the show.  

#rings of power #truly the most pleasant surprise to come out of the show

I'm so disappointed that we didn't get to see Celebrimbor making the rings shirtless because we could have had this bless our screens.
