CHARLIE VICKERS and MORFYDD CLARK behind the scenes of The Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 8 "Shadow and Flame"
they literally were so perfect. the elf grief-steeped and in hunt of a violent reckoning. the god forced to kneel before malice for an age now free and worshipful before the one being in middle-earth he deems worthy of his devotion.
oh. my. god.
1.02 - "they say that morgoth found the silmarils so beautiful that after he had stolen them for weeks he could do nothing but stare into their depths."
1.08 - "i alone can see your light" and "you bind me to the light"
2.01 - sauron staring in awe at galadriel as if he had a revelation when he first saw her at the sea.
2.05 - "when the light caught your hair, for a moment you seemed her perfect likeness."
2.06 - sauron deceiving celebrimbor "the silmarils, they will merit little more than a whisper, but the rings of power will be deemed the most precious creations in all middle-earth. best feanor." BUT then when he is alone in his illusion, we hear a man tell a woman who looks like galadriel "i've written a poem but i fear your beauty still overshadows anything i could possibly write."
like morgoth coveted silmarils created by feanor inspired by the way the light reflected galadriel's hair, sauron will covet galadriel's light till the end of his days, attempting to recreate it but failing as nothing will ever come close to her, to that feeling he felt and wanted to bind to his very being. so sauron gropes ever to see galadriel for as long as he exists!
chills, literal chills.
Are they serving crumbs? Yes. Are those crumbs delicious? YES.
I was listening to the Mephisto Waltz and Danse Macabre while drawing this and having too much fun with Lucifer's sparkle effects!
