The Numenorean helmets remind me of the Rohan ones. Which would probably mean something if I knew more Tolkien lore!

I feel bad for Eärian! Her dad and brother are just going off to war without a real care

Halbrand could at least have taken a bath before setting off to war

Omg, I forgot Durin made up the stuff about the table because Disa has wanted a new one for years 😂

I think one of the things I really admire about TROP is everyone is struggling to be better than they are, and a lot of the relationships are about helping each other do that.

Yeah, we're all going to have dark moments of the soul, but that's why we have loved ones to help us through

Arondir step-dadded so hard that Theo confessed his secret!

Theo: "Half of us just left."

Arondir: "But half stayed."

Halbrand: "Why do you keep fighting?"

Galadriel: "Because I cannot stop."

Oooooh, what a good little confession

Sauron is kinda bad at sweeping. Maybe shoulda been a clue!

Poor Elrond. He just wants to be useful and hang out with his BFF, and now he's finding out his king and boss have been lying to him

Miriel is so pretty, and so are her clothes and jewelry

"I'll let you hit me if you'll forgive me" is a very 'boys will be boys' thing

Elrond refusing to break his promise to Durin. More people should be like him

I'm super annoyed that Gil-Galad's like, "Yeah, we thought kicking Galadriel out would heal our tree"

Elrond's sweating buckets!

Gil-Galad's such a blowhard sometimes, haha. This dinner with Durin and the elves is great

Another iconic Galadriel scene!

I actually adore Galadriel's relationship with Elendil. He's respectful and smart but doesn't let her get away with shit.

Do you ever think about the correlation between Gandalf's goodness and how a young girl showed him nothing but kindness and trust when he first fell to the world? Because I do!

This is at least my third time through season 1, and I still don't super know what's going on with these weirdos, lol

"I'd trade all I know for the unknown ahead" (from Poppy's traveling song) is such an interesting and adventurous perspective

This song makes me feel really warm inside
