Patrick McKay on his favorite canonical event of the 2nd Age:
"I love this moment that...where Sauron has forged the One Ring in Orodruin...he invokes, he reads, the Ring Poem...his words and power are felt across the world. And the Elves instantly perceived they’ve been had."
"We were compelled by the question of how Galadriel knew herself so well to know the darkness in her"
AND WHEN THE SHOW ENDS WITH GALADRIEL RECOGNIZING AND ADMITTING TO THAT DARKNESS AND TO HOW ACTUALLY SIMILAR SHE IS TO SAURON WHAT THEN
'we wanted to make it so everything he says to her could be true for halbrand & sauron. he didn't present a total false persona. so you think oh ok i spent an entire season getting to know someone that wasn't actually a char'
-mcpayne
if i hear gal loved hal, who wasn't real
being multifandom is actually a struggle because there’s simply not enough room in a pfp, header, or bio for every piece of media that’s fundamentally shaped me as a person
mcpayne in the clip above saying halbrand wasn't a total false persona and that everything he said to galadriel could be true for hal & sauron.
charlotte brändström saying gal loved hal
doesn't equal to gal loving someone that doesn't exist at all

Now with color.
I call this 'Trying to Reason with Galadriel'
King Halbrand: I only need to kill a FEW elves
Does-Not-Want-To-Be-Here Queen Galadriel: How about I kill YOU instead?

Current wip.
King Halbrand and Galadriel. Her hair is a mess but it'll get better. So will that stupid crown. But this is what sketches are for.

mcpayne: and then we liked the idea of like a dark aragorn. you know, the idea that, you know, he would maybe – play like a classic archetypal reluctant hero, but he was actually the reluctant villain.
morfydd: there was lots of talk about when does...who has the power at which point because it's quite push and pull in that regard [charlie chimes in saying yeah]
and the other always thinks they have the power
