The Halbrand Theory of My Heart

(This was partly inspired by a suggestion in a post tag that I can no longer find so if it was you, please let me know so I can tag you here!)

So the popular theories for Halbrand's identity center on him being [Snake Hiss] or eventually becoming a [pterodactyl screech], basically that he's either already evil or will go that way. And these make sense for the dramatic potential.

HOWEVER

I would like to lay out an alternate, slightly more optimistic theory that is kinder to my tired heart: the Proto-Rohan Theory!

Obviously a lot of Rings of Power is about setting the stage for the events of LotR. We're already getting to see the basis of Hobbit culture with the Harfoots, the big human kingdoms with Elendil and fam, the Southlands becoming Mordor, etc. So it makes sense to have the Rohan forerunner in there, too. We all know this is not going to end well for the Southlands and that the Southlanders who haven't been captured are evacuating. The lore suggests a lot of them end up north of the mountains around Mordor, east of Mirkwood, which is made up of grassy plains that foster their horse-y culture. Much later on, Eorl the Young then leads them to the aid of Gondor and they get the land of Rohan to settle.

First off, we have musical cues. The music we hear for Halbrand and the Southlands prominently features the nycelharpa (aka Scandinavian keyed fiddle).

youtube

Where else do we hear this? The original Rohan theme.

youtube

From a production design standpoint, the architecture of the Southlands (thanks @screen-2022 for the still) is already looking pretty Rohan-esque:

Halbrand's armor, which we see here in the character poster, is red-brown leather-looking with "fish scale mail" style, much closer to the armor of the Rohirrim than what we see Numenoreans wearing, and the sword has the horse head pommel. (I know the armor and sword actually come from Numenor but it's about the look here).

We know from trailers we are in for some Halbrand Horse Riding + Spear Feats, also something we see from Rohirrim.

Also for comparison: Halbrand's Screaming Fighting Face:

vs Eomer's Screaming Fighting Face:

And of course, horse metaphors (thank you @bluetiefling for the gifset):

I rest my case.

In conclusion, it would make sense story-wise to show the beginnings both of the Dunedain kingdoms and Rohan since these are the main human cultures that appear later in LotR. It's a nice way to show the redemption of the human cultures that allied with Morgoth in the past. It doesn't necessarily mean Halbrand doesn't become one of the Nine. But it is a nicer theory for us poor, tired souls that would like to enjoy a normal human-level grey morality with a fun hot horse boy character instead of him being secretly evil. If that's your thing.

#halbrand #the rings of power #otp: bind yourself to me #the rings of power theory #like we all know how doomed the ship is #BUT WHAT IF THEY WERE JUST HAPPY FOR AWHILE AND THEN HIS PEOPLE BECAME ROHAN #what if we just did that #for me and my heart #rings of power spoilers #rohan #rohirrim #the southlands #Youtube #rop #trop #lotr: the rings of power #lotr: trop

Who are you?" she asked staring at the form before her. Exhaustion nagged in her mind as she tried to keep it together. After fighting for hours she was fatigued beyond reason. No Lembas remained to sate her frame and as she leaned against her sword. "You Fëa sung to mine young Nis," the words were Sindarin, the common tongue, but the newcomer spoke with a Teleri accent. Canting her head the Nolda sighed as she saw pale eyes. "I am called Alesse."

Rings of Power is over, and after a lot of time waiting for it to come out, I'm still thinking over it. My mind has spent a while formenting theories while having to cast off a few others. Halbrand being Sauron was so fucking obvious I was hoping it wasn't him, but then again they went with the misogynistic trash he was. Honestly, the fact that Galadriel was that keen of mind made sense. She's a smart and powerful wielder of Nenya, a ring known to create a aura of preservation and concealment. It is because of Nenya that the White Lady is able to create the beauty of Lothlorien. Without the art and craft of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain and Celebrimbor, the forest said to remind everyone of the First and Second Age aka the Elder Days, would not have existed. A woman who would have had to sus out things as well as rule a realm in her own right. Her figuring out Halbrand also makes sense to her own level of distrust. The man's story made no sense and it was good to see she wasn't fooled. Now, we have his revelation out its time to actually discuss the overall reaction.

Weaknesses Yup, we're doing these first. Rings of Power had a few obvious weak narrative points in the story. The start of the story while interesting was at times disconnected. Episodes 1&2 were pretty slow on introduction and while I did like her I felt a stronger narrative connection to the Harfoots and the Dwarves. Elrond going off to talk to his friend was far more interesting than the Elf on the ship or being toted to Numenor. Nori and Poppy interacting with the stranger was the highlight more so than Halbrand. This also brings us to the Southlanders, their story is interesting, and has the most obvious connection to the "Dark Lord". They're in proto-Mordor and I really did adore Arondir and Bronwyn. What did bother me though was honestly the racism at the elves here and even in Numenor felt out of place at times. The Southlands had a reason for it they were basically occupied, but Numenor framed it at times as some sort of "They Took Our Jerbs". But, when we walked away from this in later episodes the story actually picks up. That's the thing though, RoP obviously was trying to foreshadow stuff in the beginning and it wasn't bad. But they spent a lot more time playing peek-a-boo with Sauron than working out some of the narrative kinks. This to me is one of the weaker parts, but overall it was a good story. Oh, and I have to mention it, the expedition armor for the Numenoreans, it was kind of bad. Like, OMG ridiculous even Wheel of Time (which had a smaller budget) had better armor than them silly!

Strengths The particle and physical effects were great. The Orcs felt so much more real than the weird overall animated ones from the Hobbit. I liked how they leaned into them being corrupted and incest born elves! I could even see where some orcs were only a generation or two from Adar! Ignoring the Elves with Long Hair, I liked their costuming. Little shit like the pins Elrond wore or the embroidery on his wear. It all spoke to their culture. This goes well for the Dwarves as well. They felt lived in and made me want to learn more bout them! The final one is acting holy fucking shit, this show brought the theatrical skill and owned it. Elrond and Prince Durin's actors sold their tortured friendship and status so fucking well. Tar-Miriel had me nearly in tears when she realized her new disability and damn it still hits hard to watch. But the stand out is either Nori talking to the Stranger near the end or that "20 Years" line from Durin. Both had my heart on every word.

Theories So, we know that Halbrand is Sauron, which is straight forward. Let's discuss a few of the folk in the series which I think will play an important part later on. Adar, aka Uruk Father is likely going to die, he's a Moriondor or a proto-Orc, I don't see him being allowed to live after he "killed" Sauron's previous corporeal form. Waldreg I think might join him or could end up as a Ringwraith maybe? I dunno he doesn't exactly fit the "Great Men" types we see in the OG story discussion. But who knows.

Theo, i think will either end up as a ringwraith or perhaps the Witch King himself. I say this because he was marked by what is obviously a Morgul Blade and I could see him becoming fixated on reviving the Southlands. So rising as a the Witch-King as he gets older would make sense. We know he's going to Pelargir and he was hardcore into the "King of the Southlands" story. But we did give him a mini-redemption arc so who knows. Honestly, I don't see much about who will get the Nine Rings until maybe season two. But what do y'all think?

Stay with Me

Halbrand x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Semi rough, semi public, p in v, a little dirty talk, sex on an anvil bc c’mon, oral (fem receiving)

Y’all gotta forgive me, I just saw the new ROP yesterday and so this was not reviewed

When I first met Galadriel and Halbrand in Numenor, I had a strange mix of feelings about them.

Galadriel is kind and compassionate and fierce, she carried herself with confidence that I could only dream of having.

Halbrand on the other hand was more mysterious, he was constantly watching everyone. A lot like me I suppose, I grew up in my fathers forge and while most girls weren’t in the Navy, it wasn’t forbidden. He was spending a lot of time with my father watching him work and helping him with a few projects. I did think he was handsome but I steered away from him, he was a stranger to our island and I didn’t want to get attached.

Or so I thought, once I volunteered to go to the Southlands to fight with Galadriel, he was taking more interest in me.

I remember how Halbrand looked at me when I signed up for the voyage and he was waiting in the archway of my fathers forge that night.

“My father is away for the night.” I said as I walked past him. I set down a few things from the market and I saw him from the corner of my eye turn to face me.

“I didn’t come to see him.” He said in a low tone. “Why did you volunteer to go to the Southlands?”

I paused and turned to look at him. He looked ever more handsome with the moonlight behind him and his green eyes almost glowed in the firelight.

“I thought an adventure might be fun.” I smirked at him and he smiled.

“War is an adventure?” He came closer and I could smell the saltwater still drying on his skin.

“War is a part of life, it brings peace when done correctly.” I said quietly.

“I agree.” He reached out and gently grasped my chin, he tilted my head up so I was forced to hold eye contact.

He leaned toward me and it was like time stood still, he moved closer and closer and I was frozen in place. When his lips touched mine, it felt like my blood was on fire and then everything was moving too fast.

His fingers quickly went from my chin to my neck and I ran my hands up his chest to his shoulders and yanked him towards me.

His kiss stole the air from my lungs and I was not complaining. His other hand gripped my hip and pushed me backwards till the back of my thighs hit the large anvil.

He pulled his lips away and kept his grip on the back of my neck. He glanced down at the anvil and I could see his pupils get bigger and he looked back at me with a hunger that almost frightened me.

“If you want me to stop, tell me right now.” He said in a deep tone while holding my neck tighter with one hand and slowly lifting my skirt with the other. “Once I start, I will not stop.”

“Don’t stop.” I whispered and grabbed his collar and kissed him hard.

He easily lifted me to set me on the anvil and yanked my skirt up as far as he could. I reached down to untie his belt but he grabbed my wrists in a shockingly tight grip and shook his head.

“Not yet.” He whispered.

Before I could even let out a breath, Halbrand knelt before me and lifted my legs on top of his shoulders and started licking my cunt.

I cried out and gripped the anvil as tight as I could. He held tight to my thighs and moaned as his tongue made indecipherable designs in my folds, I felt him groan into me and I wanted to scream.

Everything felt amplified, I’d never experienced anything like this before. My skin felt like it was on fire, his tongue was erasing thoughts from my mind until there was only him. I could hear people laughing in the pub across the road and see dust floating through the firelight, I looked down and Halbrand was looking up at me. When we made eye contact, he pushed his tongue as far as he could inside me and I moaned out loud, I bit my lip and leaned my head back. His nail bit into my flesh but there was so much adrenaline pumping through me I felt nothing.

He moaned again and I felt my climax coming, so fast that it almost scared me. I tried to tell him to slow down but every time I could get a syllable out, he pushed his tongue further inside me and curled it against that one perfect spot and I almost blacked out.

Too soon, he tugged my thighs as tight as he could, he growled against my clit and curled his tongue over and over and over until I saw stars and my vision went white. My muscles grew tighter than ropes on a sail and I covered my mouth with one hand to try and keep my scream as quiet as possible.

I was still panting when Halbrand stood up, slowly lowering my legs from his shoulders and he licked his lips slowly before taking my hand off my mouth and kissing me slowly.

“Halbrand.” I whispered he pulled away.

“Y/N.” He whispered back and smiled at me. “I’m not done yet.”

He smiled as he held onto my hips and pulled my body flush against his, I could feel his cock rub against my cunt. I moaned and leaned my head back. He grabbed the back of my head and pulled me back to him.

“Look at me.” He growled and then he pushed slowly inside me.

I gasped and opened my mouth to cry out but no sound came out. His green eyes held my gaze in a strange way, it was so intimate that it made me blush more than his cock hitting my cervix. I shivered when he paused for a moment, he was taking deep and slow breaths.

“Don’t look away.” He whispered as he pulled his hips back slowly and gripped the back of my neck. “Look at me, luv.”

“Yes,” I gasped as he pushed back inside me. “Yes, Halbrand!”

I moaned and fought against the urge to to close my eyes, instead gripping his shoulders as tight as I could to hold him close.

His pupils were so big, his eyes were practically black, his tunic had fallen open and I could see his chest was flushed up to his neck. His thrusts were gaining speed and force and knocking the air from my lungs. All I could do was hold onto him as my eyes welled with tears.

He smiled as he kept thrusting harder and harder and whispered.

“You can close your eyes, I will have you more than once.” He let go of my hair and I leaned my head back as he used one hand to pin my hip still and the other to hold onto the anvil.

I felt another orgasm warm my skin like a hot summer breeze and I dug my nails into his shoulders and wrapped my legs around his hips as best I could.

“Come for me, luv.” He groaned and he thrusted with everything he had. “Come on my cock.”

I cried out and buried my face in his neck as I came harder than I ever had before in my life.

It was like I was pushed into ice cold water, every muscle seized up and yet it was the best feeling.

Halbrand rocked his hips slower as my pussy pulsed around his member and as he grunted and cried out my name, I felt him come deep inside me, letting me feel his warmth drip down my thighs.

I was panting like I ran five miles as he slowly pulled out of me.

He groaned and felt up my body with his rough hands and cupped my face and kissed me with a passion that made me want to pull him back inside me.

He finally broke the kiss and pressed his forehead against mine.

“Stay with me in the Southlands.” He whispered, gently rubbing my face with his thumbs.

“Is that an order?” I smiled and looked up at him.

“Please?” He smirked and kissed me chastely. “Stay with me?”
