What do ur yan characters think of when they think of a perfect date?

Honestly I feel most would try to cater to what you want in order to please you, but if they had to pick one they would idealize: Pon would want to go somewhere a bit fancy, likely take you out to a very nice dinner to show off and go out to a market of sorts or a mall, any shops basically he can spoil you at with gifts and affection!! He'd also wear a suit cause how else can he show off the nice dad bod he's got ;3c Afterwards if your okay with it he's def dragging you home for some nice late night trashy TV to just talk before you both pass out on the couch together snuggled up. Kitten likely would want to go somewhere fun and lively, something much like a amusement park. She's the kind of girl to cling to your arm and gush about how amazing you are at every game at the park, or how she needs to cling to you when on "scary" rides like rollercoasters or haunted house rides! Which she insists on going!! (unless your scared) She of course will drag you onto the tunnel of love to get her smooches in and trap you on the ferris wheel with her, and is wearing the cutest outfit she could find in her closet to present herself to you. Teddy is most simple of the group, to him he'd just think it'd be fun anywhere with you! The idea of even spending time with you even if it wasnt a "date" honestly gets him going!! You two could be working together and he'd feel like he's on cloud 9. If on a proper date he'd try to be presentable and out of uniform, take you likely to a movie of your choice (or the latest animated musical) or the arcade and you two can just spend the night together goofing off and having a great time!! Afterwards he'd just be so smitten to wanna hold hands with you and go on a late night walk under the stars. Where while he may be pretty quiet most of the date due to shyness, he'd at least confess how much he enjoyed himself and likes having you with him by the end of it bashfully. Hopefully TED doesn't ruin the date ;3c Ricky's date honestly wouldnt even seem like a date at first. He's kind of a tsundere bastard like that. And would tell you a lie and state its likely some "office" get together or that you better show up to this place and at this time or else before storming off embarassed. When you show up to said place, its likely a highly esteemed dinner date set upon a private boat. Rickys one to not worry about his money spending, and the fact he's trying to impress you is pretty obvious even if he won't talk about it. Claims the rest of the office couldn't make it so wow it works out that its just a small private dinner fit for two. Though by the end of the night he's mellowed out quite a lot and seems to actually be having a great sincere time with you. Which he will deny the next day even after proof of pictures are found on his phone bragging about his "amazing date".

Finally Darius is literally a king, a magical king at that and one whos going to be well over the top when it comes to your perfect date. Hes going to literally light up the room with stars and crystals all adorning over a beautiful garden area he has set up for the two of you inside the palace. Since he doesn't very much like you leaving the palace, he does keep dates indoors and rarely outside (unless you are on really good behaviour and request it sweetly from him). So instead he creates a whole world for you inside one of the many giant palace rooms. Where you will have a picnic under the stars and he will play music for you softly. Being so gentle and sweet as he even pulls you into dancing magically underneath the stars. It all feels like a dream when you wake up the next day in bed alongside him ;3c

I'm starting to get a little obsessed with Rings of Power, I have to admit. I'm not entirely sure why - perhaps I just really have a need to rejoin a fandom that is full of hyper-pedantic purists who nit-pick endlessly over contradicting canon material, racist "historians" who apparently never heard of the Moorish invasion, Mongol invasion, the Silk Road, or any of a thousand other reasons why actual historical people of color might have ended up in medieval Europe, and the usual victim-blaming villain apologists. (I won't lie, I also think the Feanorians are pretty compelling. I draw the line at blaming the invaded people for not wanting to hand the magic rock over to repeated mass murderers though.)

Eh, maybe I'll stick to my own corner. There's some good fic out there though.

These are my initial observations from the first episode:

1. There's more indirect Silmarillion references than I expected. From fan reaction, I thought they were scrapping the entire thing. But it seems like most of Elrond's fucked up backstory is intact. Or at least not contradicted. (I think there's even a Feanor namedrop in a later episode?)

2. Galadriel is so pretty, OMG. And her armor doesn't have boobs!

3. Elrond is adorable. Of all the fannish complaints, I have the most sympathy for the one about Elrond having Steve Harrington hair. I feel like it might be a character beat though. They seem to be leaning a bit into the idea of the Peredhel being not quite accepted in general elf society, so maybe that's meant to be a tiny little rebellion?

3b. The idea of the Peredhel not being particularly accepted does seem like a deviation from the Silmarillion, but then that was pretty broad strokes. We know EVENTUALLY Gil-galad and Elrond will be homoerotically joined at the hip, but it might take a while to get there.

3c. I would like him to grow it out eventually though. The current look doesn't suit his face. I think something longer and pinned back a bit might work better with those angles.

3d. The idea of Elrond not being an "elf lord" seems particularly offensive given the poor guy is arguably the heir of every elf kingdom under the sun. Then again, none of those elf kingdoms actually exist anymore. Except the one Gil-galad's running. But I actually really like the poor put-upon clerk with quiet ambitions aspect of his character. It's pretty rare to see open ambition treated as, if not a positive trait, then a neutral one.

I feel like there's this thing, in popular western media, where we adore the wise and powerful figures - the wise king, if you will, but we don't like the idea of someone actually wanting and trying to achieve that role. The only good powerful person, we say, is the one that doesn't want it. They get it by chance, by birthright, by being in the right place at the right time. Even if they "earn" it, it's generally by doing something heroic, completely unrelated to governing people or dealing with politics. THOSE sorts are almost invariably the Wrong Choice.

But what if you want to enact real, positive change? What if you want to protect people or take care of people? How do you do that, if you're not in a position of power? How do you get power, when you're not really allowed to want it?

(I might be projecting too many good motives onto my historically favorite character, but I have future canon knowledge that he does a pretty decent job when he actually IS in charge of shit, so there you go.)

4. I love that Galadriel and Elrond look like they're the same height. Google tells me he's 6', and she's 5'4". I'd never have guessed. Nice camera work. Or phenomenal job at hiding the stilts.

5. I love that elf aging seems to be completely arbitrary. Elrond and Galadriel look like babies. Gil-galad looks middle-aged*, while Celebrimbor...well, I guess being only non-murderous Feanorian is really stressful?

5b. It hurts me to say that as Gil-galad's actor is maybe a year older than I am. But alas, that's life.

5c. Celebrimbor also has short hair. Maybe it's a Feanorian thing? That'd be kind of interesting. Did Tolkien ever specifically SAY they had long hair?

6. I have no idea who Arondir is. It's probably worth noting that I haven't read the Silmarillion since college, which might explain why I'm not really nitpicking anything. Whether he's one of the umpteen tragic elves from that book, or a canon newcomer, I don't care. I want to keep him.

6b. I'd like to see that elf who said that there were only two elven-human marriages and they ended in death and despair to say that to Elrond's face. Wait, no. I think he might cry. Say that to Idril Celebrindal. I fucking dare you. (Tuor would absolutely hold her flowers.)

7. I wasn't expecting the hobbits. No one mentioned the hobbits.

8. Also, no idea what the Southlands are, but it's an interesting story beat. From an average human perspective, what makes one powerful overlord better than another? Especially given some of the shit the good-guy elves got up to over the years.

9. Everything looks really pretty and nothing's really happening yet, but this is Tolkien. I sat through the extended editions of the movies (...might have fallen asleep at one point, but that's between me and the Professor), I can wait a few episodes before things start to happen.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the next one.

#sparkly elves and their jewelry #for your own sanity don't look up Elrond's family tree #an essay crept into my list - sorry #I remember the parts of the Silmarillion I cared about. The rest was all dead elves and humans with annoyingly similar names.#The parts I liked also have dead elves and people with annoyingly similar names but they also had or led to my favorite character
