Uh, guys? Don't confuse your crappy televised fanfic for the story that Tolkien actually wrote.

Galadriel was never "under Sauron's thrall." That's something ROP made up. In Unfinished Tales, she was the only one in Eregion who suspected that Annatar was lying about being an emissary of the Valar. Celebrimbor was deceived by him. She was not. She was certainly not "under his thrall." No, not even because she had Nenya.

Yes, when Frodo offered her the One Ring, she was tempted. It could have given her the power to prevent the fading of Lothlórien. But when she makes this speech in the book, and in the Peter Jackson movies, it's her own thought, she's not repeating something that Sauron said to her once:

“You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!”

These are Galadriel's words. Her words. Not Sauron's. And she was tempted by the One Ring because she could have been a more powerful queen, not Sauron's Queen. Like, you guys really took one of the most powerful and complex female characters in Tolkien's works and you made her story all about a man and his power over her and his manipulation of her. Fuck off.

And stop tagging ROP as Lord of the Rings.

Headcanon for Aragorn and Arwen’s wedding reception: Gandalf magically whipped up a sound system and he’s spinning some sick tunes. After every one has had their turn on the dance floor, Gandalf busts out a karaoke machine and the real fun begins. 

Gimli wants to sing but he’s a little shy so he begs Legolas to sing with him. Legolas agrees but little does he know Gimli is going to sing “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel and dedicate it to Galadriel. Celeborn pretends to be jealous but really he thinks it’s kind of sweet. 

Who else is going to sing? Let’s see what you’ve got!

LOTR characters as things I’ve heard people say

Legolas: I'm sorry, I'm feeling a little sassy today.
Gimli: I need more bacon on this ice cream.
Aragorn: Could you maybe stop saying self deprecating jokes for five minutes? We are in a LIBRARY
Boromir: Marines don’t cry but sometimes our eyes get sweaty.
Merry: Smoke the stuff that you can grow straight from your garden
Pippin: The only thing I have in my car is an umbrella. I can’t eat an umbrella.
Frodo: I have a headache man. Must be a brain tumor
Samwise: A BAKED POTATO IS JUST AN IRISH TACO!
Gandalf: If you don’t feel transported when talking to me then I have failed as a person
Elrond: Every time they speak a part of me dies.
Faramir: I wish I was dumb so that I could always underachieve and people wouldn’t be disappointed in me
Arwen: Having girls who read is a great thing. I mean, there are plenty of other not so great things they could be doing, like being a hooker.
Eowyn: You know, sometimes, girls have mood swings. Some days they want to shoot arrows into the forest, and other days they just want a tea party.
Galadriel: You know why I don't have a boyfriend? because I'm WIFE material, not GIRLFRIEND material
Glorfindel: Can I put in my resume that I can put my hair up in a bun for hours with only one Bobby pin? Because that right there is a SKILL
