Just wanted to see Arondir with long hair since I really liked that aesthetic from LOTR!

I enjoy the Rings of Power, except the elves are bugging me. Its like the creators focused so hard on Galadriel they ignored all the others. She's basically the only elf that actually looks like one. Come on guys, all the elves in LotR and the Hobbit looked amazing and otherworldly, but these don't? If this is a series about Elves, maybe they should've focused more on what the elves looked like instead of the weird subplot in the human village. It's like the elves don't match the stunning set around them.
Also, I think the Stranger is Gandalf. Cause it being Sauron would be way too obvious and boring. Gandalf is just a little confused because the poor guy just got yeeted out of the sky and shoved into a human body, of course he is confused and his power is hurting others. He has no idea how to control it. And it would be a nice tie-in to why Gandalf loved Hobbits so much: they've been there since the beginning!

Dear “casting people” of Amazon Prime’s series “Rings of Power”! I know it’s too late, but take a look at appropriate/accurate ppl for the elven roles… And zero expenses for wigs! Good or what!?

Tolkien in the 30s: the elves have beautiful long hair regardless of gender even tho a man having long hair in the 30s would be seen as an egregious sign of gender noncomformity at best
Amazon rn: boy elves have short hair girl elves have long hair because this adaptation is about girlboss galadriel

It's always interesting (to me) to go back to Tolkien's descriptions of hairstyles among some of the women of LOTR.
Here is the description of Galadriel's gift to Gimli:
Then the Lady unbraided one of her long tresses, and cut off three golden hairs, and laid them in Gimli's hand.
Here is the canonical description of Arwen's hair:
The braids of her dark hair were touched by no frost ... Above her brow her head was covered with a cap of silver lace netted with small gems, glittering white; but her soft grey raiment had no ornament save a girdle of leaves wrought in silver.
Here is the explanation of Gilraen's name:
The meaning of Gilraen as a woman's name is not in doubt. It meant 'one adorned with a tressure set with small gems in its network,' such as the tressure of Arwen ... The women of the Eldar were accustomed to wear such tressures ... Names such as Gilraen, and others of similar meaning, would thus be likely to become first names given to maid-children of the kindred of the "Lords of the Dúnedain". The element raen was the Sindarin form of Q. raina 'netted, enlaced'.
Personally, I think it's interesting that it's Éowyn, a shieldmaiden from a distinctly different culture, who has the loose long hair that fandom often goes for. But I also think the canon aesthetic for Elvish women and those akin to them is really intriguing and could be quite beautiful, but contemporary fandom preferences have definitely obscured Tolkien's affection for braids and pretty hairnets.

He felt her fingers weave back and forth across his skull, shaping and folding each strand of hair into place like a song. It was extremely calming for the both of them. She often braided little plaits into his hair for practicality or for fun. Sometimes they talked and joked about life, sometimes they stayed silent and contemplated it instead, but neither mattered. It was the pattern, the rhythm, that was so meditative and soothing as though with each exhale, with each comforting chuckle, the weight of all their duties washed clean from their souls. And when her hands had finished, the lovers found themselves imparted with a fresh outlook on their individual responsibilities and a brighter spirit within with which to tackle them. Before her, he’d rarely ever reached this level of relaxation outside the fade. She’d opened his heart in more ways than one and he was unsure how he’d ever manage without her.

Celebrían, if she took part in the Last Alliance!
I’ve had this idea in my head for a long time, and I finally drew it! Her hairstyle is based on one of Tolkien’s descriptions of Galadriel: “She was then of Amazon disposition and bound up her hair as a crown when taking part in athletic feats.”

I know we’re all out here guessing what astarion looked like before turning, what color his eyes were originally etc, but have you considered: magistrate astarion with beautiful long hair, cut off by cazador as yet another mark of ownership
