I just want more villains getting redeemed and smooching heroes and having happy endings is that so much to ask is that so gods-damned hard to give would that spoil some vast eternal plan like oh my gods

and on that note, have a little smutty annatar/galadriel drabble with a concept i could get out of my head.

nsfw warning! enjoy 😉

keeping this in mind can help navigate why some people hate a thing in some story when you don't, and vice versa

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m a veteran of fandom but have rarely been into the shipping side and the last few months has underlined things I already suspected after watching other “controversial” ship fandoms go through it.

The rules are: you can ship it but don’t get too excited…

I’m generally neutral on enemies-to-lovers as a ship thing - neither puts me off a pairing nor makes it more appealing - but I cannot get enough of it the other way round. Trying to stab each other in battles for the very soul of your realm etc etc but then you catch the other’s eye and Remember…

I've been keeping a close eye on this one

Honestly I have no patience for ppl who say "you just want an echo chamber!" because yeah, I'm here for my dumb little hobbies and shows
Of course I want to avoid ppl who just want to fight and argue with me LOL

"those silly girls only like [fantasy/science fiction thing] because of [romance storyline] or [conventionally attractive male lead], unlike ME, who appreciates it PROPERLY" - I remember having this argument over Tom Paris in Voyager thirty years ago, why are we stilllllll heeeeeeere

Social media is fun because you basically just talk to yourself and sometimes a stranger replies to yell at you about why you’re wrong

Sorry to tell u this but "shipping" just means "I enjoy thinking about them interacting in a non-platonic non-familial way"
That's it!
There's no implied associated "condoning" or "wanting it to be real"!
You can ship them and also think "THAT WOULD BE FUCKED UP" (very common actually)

i personally think all fictional women should be allowed to be war criminals for a period of time. like a study abroad semester

The comfort levels of Haladriel, I swear. Never in my life have I gotten obsessed with the idea of two people loving each other, I always was into individual characters, until these two hopped on a raft. Individually they're not enough. It's them together. ❤️

This is the simplest truth there is. I also dislike how tumblr lacks two QOLS 1) ability to actually NOT see anything you don't want (I don't want to be reminded of something I don't want to see! Why did I filter it then?), and for option to block certain posts on moble.

Aaaand another one! bsky.app/profile/nata...

I don't have any free time these days, but if it's ok, I did spot a fanart that fulfills this prompt if others want to take a look and support the artist! They are on the other app though. x.com/deo_103/stat...

Wondering if any haladriel would even be interested in a HMC (half-maia Celebr!an) event...

I've noticed its usually the same few ppl who seem to act like we're always the Problem and I already have them blocked. But still, that's why I dont even check the main tag anymore. Not fun.

energy on putting down a ship they hate by furiously dissecting every little silly theory or joke we come up with than watering the grass on their side. It's kind of why I've taken to blocking those blogs... sadly even some unaware fellow shippers who don't see what they're *really* doing.

I think it really gets them heated when we are in our corner coming up with new fic ideas, making jokes (we all know it's not a wedding ring, it's called an inside joke...), making stunning video edits, posting art in all styles, talking about theories. It's so weird... they're expending more +

Oh, is this from that 5+1 fic with his name?

You know I wonder how much fun it would be to have a HMC appreciation/fan week to celebrate this beautiful fan-made concept. Could be drabbles, art, poems, etc to show not just HMC but any potential kids between them lol. 🤭

I hate sounding dumb so I googled and came up with hardware management console, hot math chick, and Hayatabad Medical Complex and was so confused lol

Ooooh duh xD Tyty

Sorry I feel like an oldie but what does hmc mean?

#art #lord of the rings #sauron

I never saw the forging of The One Ring as a triumphant moment for Sauron, but a gross miscalculation and a moment of humiliation. He splits himself and maims his fëa for power, and in return he gains the ultimate Achilles heel. #lordoftherings #ringsofpower #sauron #art

the brainworms got to me 🥴

#saurondriel #haladriel #theringsofpower

Hehehe can't wait!

Ok here it is. This is if you JUST want to see ONLY post that contain the words haladriel, saurondriel or annatariel without some asinine posts that have nothing to do with the ship at all
