when ppl comment on this fic my serotonin goes YEEET

so ily <33333

BUT ANYWAYYSSSSSSS WERE NOT GATHERED TODAY TO TALK ABT MY FABULICIOUS READERS

sadly

today we're talking abt stuff in the LOTR show im actually excited for

bc contrary to my last chapter im not SUPER negative about it

so let's go

1) THE DIVERSITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

so i touched on this in my last chapter obvi how could i not

but this is a HUGE reason why im excited for the show

POC representation, more female characters (MY GIRL GALADRIELLLLLLLLLL bc her and eowyn are literally the only women in the series who do anything [sorry Tolkien still love ya but it had to be said] and id love to see her more, especially bc i love the actress they chose to play her) I NEED IT ALL

bc yall it is the 21st century, by now we all agree that LOTR is EXTREMELY gay and we need more (canon) diversity in the legendarium than just the sadly headcannon (but come on, aralas, frosam, etc are so fanon theyre BASICALLY canon) fandom has.

so im extremely excited for that, and even tho ill admit i do have some conventional views on the legendarium (like when i heard they might do a sci-fi version of numenor in the show i was like aw HELL NO) but this does not at all make it into that category

so screw anyone who says otherwise <3

2) Numenor

ok so i said some harsh things abt the first shot of numenor in the trailer in pt one of these two chapters, but LETS JUST TAKE A SECOND HERE OKAY

there are some ✨inner✨ shots of numenor in the trailer that i think are VERY frickin cool, and its just that first shot w the overall like white marble-y outer facade CGI thing that i have a problem with.

HOWEVER its possible that its just like that in the trailer, and when the actual show comes out itll look much better and cooler and less CGI

bc that architecture is SO GOOD and my convential-numenor-ideal heart was like YESSSSS when i saw it but then my perfectionist ass brain was like euhhhhhhh thats so fake and CGI

but hopefully when it all comes together itll look good

BUT MY POINT ISNT HOW ITLL LOOK

bc numenor is genuinely one of my favourite concepts in the whole ass legendarium, i love it SO MUCH, it developped into the human cities and civilizations of middle-earth that are in LOTR as we know it today, and i just adore the Arthurian almost like Asgardian vibe it gives off

i would wanna live there except we all know how THAT story ends up....

plus y'all know im literally an elf stfu 😠😠😠
