Thinking about these cute elf dads #TheRingsofPower #TROPspoilers

[choppy 🕷️ @nowbvcktome]

they invented like father like son #rivals

[issy ⏾ @oldstvnes]

@cauldrononfire this too, and it’s telling we have yet to get an elf that is actually named in tolkien’s canon played by a poc actor. maybe this is because they’re trying to stick to the visuals of the films, but it feels weird.

[issy ⏾ @oldstvnes]

@cauldrononfire i don’t think you had to erase that plot completely (there are elements of it which were set up in past episodes), but give it more thematic weight by letting us grapple with it more. them killing arondir so early felt more like them being too lazy to develop their ocs further

[issy ⏾ @oldstvnes]

@cauldrononfire yes! i would like the scene between him and theo better if it came later. let us see him play a more prominent role in elven politics, let us see theo grappling with the morality of his new position, and you could even make their final confrontation part of the last alliance

[issy ⏾ @oldstvnes]

@cauldrononfire you just reminded me of mirdania and yeah.. this really does establish a concerning pattern

[Des - Tolkien💍| Cry To Heaven @cauldrononfire]

so much time on setting her up felt anticlimactic. And this is a show that has an on-going problem with how it treats its female characters. The misogynistic aspects to the way Galadriel and Mirdania were written in the first two seasons, alongside with this choice #TROPspoilers

@elfbotanist it would have made such a heartbreaking final!

The fact that so many leftists believe the extremely racist strawman that landback means literally deporting white people or giving natives some kind of ethnic legal superiority in the US is so insane to me like yall really don’t believe native Americans are intelligent ppl huh

[issy ⏾ @oldstvnes]

[🍧 🇨🇻 @IridescentH4ZE]

it went from "i dont like flawless unidimensional female character" to "every assertive n confident female character should be humbled or its performative" and i called it from miles away bc the characters they were complaining about werent that common in the first place

[issy ⏾ @oldstvnes]

I think true growth is acknowledging you can have dark thoughts and feelings on the inside, and make a choice to act differently.

You can feel jealousy and still choose to be supportive of others. It’s not being fake, but being more than your own darkness. Be strong.
