A very Uruk rule😌 The shinier, the more suspicious.

Massive red flag. Do not trust anyone offering both. No matter how pretty they look...😶

Oh my, beware of strangers offering rings. And wine...

And I had thought my only peace was made of a darkness of ash and fire, walls and wars. But it seems these last two are not necessarily included😌

Some relationships require time apart. I had expected you and Gil-Galad might find some extra common ground sharing both the burden of a ring of power, but perhaps your personalities are still to strong for a trinket to diminish it... *smiles, knowing that's how Elrond calls those rings: trinkets*

Adar's tiredness @adaristired.bsky.social · 1d

...But I think there will be a better occasion for that.

I know you are tired, Elrond. I believe what you need is some food and a nice sleep. I will prepare dinner for you if that sounds good for you😊

I-... I meant, you can choose where you prefer to sleep and I’ll happily move to the other place…😳 Which does not mean I am more than happy to read some Rúmil to you until you fall asleep😌*he realises he rushed to add that last part*

*He, Adar, must clear up the misunderstanding before Elrond starts believing it is some sort of Uruk tradition that the guest sleeps with the host, and then he comes back to Lindon with the wrongest possible information about Mordor‼️🚨😱🌋*

*Adar’s heart starts beating hard at realising how his offer have sounded. Then his cheeks start catching a darker tone at the realisation that Elrond has not refused. But he doesn’t want to jump into conclusions. No, no, no, definitely not*

I personally find both my bed and the couch equally comfortable but perhaps you… *Adar attempts to reach for Elrond’s sword unconsciously, taking his clumsiness for tiredness. But then he notices his nervousness, the (adorable) colour of his cheeks and the tone of his voice* … You…. I-…😳

In conjunction with #TROPRewatch welcome to TROP Rewatch: Reforged!

Details are in the pics and the Prompt Set for Season 1 will be revealed on 17 Oct (tho stay tuned for clues over the next few weeks).

We hope as many of you as possible can take part! And if you have questions, pop them 👇🏼 #TROP

THE RINGS OF POWER REWATCH: Reforged!

Overview

• This is a TROP-centric fanworks event running semi-concurrently with the #TROPRewatch.
Fanworks can include: Art, Fanfiction, Moodboards, Crafts, etc.

• Each episode has a Prompt which is the guideline for your Fanwork, however you do not have to follow the theme or content of the episode.
Eg: SIE8 Prompt is "Sun", but Fanworks do not have to be about Numenor or Uruks.

• There is no deadline for posting work; start and finish at your leisure.
For more of a challenge: Use the week between episodes to start + finish your work.

• Prompts are for inspiration to mix and match how you like. There's no pressure to fill all of them.

• While works should be TROP-centric, you are welcome to crossover with other parts of the Tolkien Legendarium. Eg: Arondir in the Third Age; Nori meeting Maedhros

• Remember to tag your work with #TROPReforged and #TROPRewatch

THE RINGS OF POWER REWATCH: Reforged

Rules & Guidelines

• Please do not submit any works - art, fiction, graphics, etc - that are the result of generative Ai prompts.

• genAi is theft, and is harmful to the environment; and it goes against everything
Professor Tolkien stood for.

• Hate speech and discrimination are not acceptable nor tolerated. Our fandom is beautiful in our diversity. Be respectful of your fellow fans.

• If a ship/character is not to your liking, please be mature enough to ignore it.
Shipping conflicts, character bashing, and kink-shaming are not welcome.

• Please label any 18+/NSFW content accordingly, and use tags where relevant.

Given the sneak peek we got of Elendil and Narsil earlier this evening, I guess this would be a good time to post this!

Here's the schedule for the Winter #TROPRewatch

We're also planning a wee fanworks thingy to run semi-concurrently with the Rewatch, so stay tuned for details for that!

Schedule for the Winter TROP Rewatch showing the dates we will be watching the episodes.

I think you can understand better than you think... as someone who has also spent centuries wearing armour night and day.

Armor: Elrond exchanges his robes for armor, and she finds she does not very much like the shift. Not so long ago, she had accused him of playing courtier, of not knowing evil as she has known it. But she does not, in the end, wish for him to. A sword in his hand where a pen should be.

Hope: Adar extends the ring to her on his palm and her fingers close over it, brushing his skin, the dancing light of his fëa, stirred to the surface, but always, she understands now, present, and hers, tested in its own way, and the ring between them, a promise. A lasting peace. A lasting hope.

Is the High King so worried about death? Unless that was only his sarcastic way to say something else... I have heard sarcasm is his mother tongue🤔

Your friend, Elrond, is visiting Mordor at the moment so I expected from your High King to keep you busy.

Shall we burn any message coming from him?😌

*Adar looks at Elrond out of the corner of his eyes* It is not big but I hope you will feel comfortable 👀 Hm. You can sleep there *points at the couch* But if you prefer it, there is also my bed upstairs…

with the other end of the space, where there is a large wooden couch covered with furs and pillows. A simple staircase connects this area to the second floor, which appears smaller, given that not all of the lower floor is roofed by it*

*Adar pushes the wooden door and lets Elrond in.

Before the elf appears the modest interior of the cabin. There is a space with a large wooden table and chairs, all of different shapes. It connects what appears to be a kitchen full of hanging drying plants and a hearth
