Apparently today is #PortfolioDay. I don't normally use this Twitter handle for my art but today I figure "hey, why not?" So, here's a🧵

Sometimes I do fanart... 1/

Sometimes I use traditional media (pencil and micron pens on vellum), in this case to create frames for the opening montage of an indie film. Final work was animated in #Adobe #aftereffects... 4/

So why was #Sauron on that raft? I know that's a question a lot of people are asking and one that both Charlie and the #RingsOfPower showrunners have said will be addressed in Season 2. Unlike Sauron, I'm not in anyone's head, but I can give it my best (hopeful) guess.
Disclaimer that I have not had time to do a rewatch of eps 2-8 yet, so I don't know how well this will hold up in light of that. 2/
The show has been leaning heavily into the "chance" meeting. Galadriel references it explicitly more than once. (I know this has been talked about, but stay with me here). I'd even say episode 1 ends with her jumping off the ship almost as an act of faith in such an event. 3/

Mere hours till the #RingsofPower finale. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check because I just don't know if it's possible to wrap this up in a way that will truly satisfy me (YMMV, of course). Naturally, the (potential and thoroughly teased) Sauron reveal has me on edge.
Before the show actually aired and we were getting short clips and stills my suspicions about The Stranger were tempered by the fact that it just seemed...too obvious. But the idea that Galadriel happened to be, unbeknownst to her, lost at sea with the very person she was hunting
Well that was kinda wonderful. I've always liked the idea of the show keeping us guessing on who Sauron might be. As I've said before, it's a literalization of something going on across the history of the texts that's been transformed into narrative. I like it. It's clever.

If there is any one thing I can't forgive #Tolkien for either not writing or not preserving, it is the mysterious "Sauron: Arising and Fall of Men" that is referenced in the essay "The Awakening of the Quendi" in #NatureOfMiddleEarth. I have *thoughts* on this. Photograph of page 35 from the book The Nature of Middle-ear
@MichaelFKane @7stars7siblings @srwestvik @Tolkien_erklart There was a long period before NoMe was published where portions of fandom—at least where and when I was involved—assumed the being described in the Anthrabeth must have been Sauron due to the timeline conflict...
To know that that is the direction Tolkien seems to have been going in his own mind is interesting. I don't know if he simply never wrote the piece he references here (with the being explicitly being Sauron) or if it was lost, but I dearly wish I could read it!

1/ #RingsOfPowerOnPrime episode 1 rewatch liveblog begins now🧵

a.i "Nothing is evil in the beginning" is the first line of this series, and I couldn't wish for a better one. In LotR this line is about Sauron and how far it is possible to fall when starting with good intentions. A photo of page 332 of The ...
2/ a.ii How the show intends to use this line is unclear. It's possible it could be as simple as describing life in Valinor: what was (or seemed like) an Eden—the rest of the monologue describes the world in terms of youth and innocence. But of note is the first montage we see: Image
3/ a.iii A group of children in white play a variation on Blind Man's Bluff, where each except the "blind man" appears to be making noise, some by tapping sticks on stones, to lead (or mislead) him. It feels idyllic and possibly is a metaphor for what will be Galadriel's quest Image

On the 12th Day of Sauron... a list of the things that I hope The Rings of Power gives to me, most of which have to do with Sauron, Galadriel, metaphysics, and moral complexity. #12DaysOfSauron. 1 day until the premiere of @LOTRonPrime 🧵1/24 #TheRingsOfPower #Sauron
You've probably noticed I like Sauron. Not that I'd want to have tea with him or anything—that sounds like a bad idea—but I mean I enjoy him as a character, which is something a lot of people find odd, because they see him as one-dimensional or without need for complexity... 2/24
or because they don't understand why anyone would find a villain—any villain—interesting. Certainly no one is obliged to, but if modern fandom is any indication, it's not really such an unheard of thing. Villains *can* be very interesting, especially (I think) their Falls. 3/24
