To Celebrimbor, my most beloved star

villains are hard to design. making them ugly is dangerous, depending on what traits you choose to frame as monstrous or undesirable, you could very well end up saying something fatphobic, racist, anti-semitic, etc

but if you make a hot villain then people will get thirsty and demand redemptions and refuse to acknowledge their evil actions, no matter how despicable

Solution: Full body armor and masks. You don’t see people shipping themselves with Sauron!

…………..you think?

…………..don’t look up Sauron on AO3

Nothing fails to crack me up like this post - the vain hope that somewhere out there is some awful nasty thing that there is not also a person whose kink that is, the idea that covering something up won’t make people obsessed with finding out what it looks like underneath, the surface level understanding of Sauron and complete lack of knowledge of the Silmarillion and it’s fandom, the fact that Sauron was canonically hot as fuck, the amount of Sauron erotica I have seen, God this post never gets old

Point. For those who have not read Sillmarilion, Sauron used to look something like this

Lord Celebrimbor walking home from Khazad-dûm humming to himself a little lullaby, picking up little nicknacks he finds by the road to take home with him. “You never know where inspiration might strike next,” he says to himself as he continues to hum his little tune, strutting along. A holly leaf in his hair, the sun lighting up the smile on his face. “Oh the wonders of this world, may you never stop to amaze me”.

Season 2: Episode 06 - “Where is He?”

Nah, for real, if anyone intended that Galadriel should be the one to bear Nenya - and I don't really think that's how it works, but if they did, it would be Celebrimbor. He made the Three; he would know that his fierce, powerful, dauntless kinswoman was the only one to wield the Ring of Adamant.

Celebrimbor from the Rings of Power. Darker than what I usually draw, but it kind of fit the idea.
