Everybody must be aware that this was a doomed ship from the start but it doesn't hurt less when we see its fall

Yes they were a doomed ship in many ways but you can still ship them in their doomed way, which you might also like?

It doesn't sound appealing to me like that in theory but I'm sure I'll stand by them

From this point onwards, Haladriel is confirmed as canon in terms of romantic feelings. I'm not sure what else they could say. We'll never get a direct "I love you" on screen, especially from Galadriel—they're not that type of characters, and it's not that kind of relationship.

If we had any doubts, they were really only on Galadriel's side—Sauron/Halbrand has been proposing to her for two seasons now. Along with the director’s confirmation, it’s clear from Galadriel’s hesitation and vulnerability when she sees Halbrand again that her emotions are involved. It wasn’t a "what the hell" kind of surprise, like when Elrond kissed her.

We'll see how they take it from here. Ideally, I'd love a corruption arc—also doomed from the start—but even though I don’t expect it anymore, I also don’t think the ship is completely sunk. A "doomed ship" just means they aren’t endgame (which we knew), not that there won’t be any more content, sexual or romantic tension, or even intimacy, depending on the writing.

As for Celeborn, I’m mainly curious about how they'll introduce him. Beyond that, I’m not particularly interested in him or his relationship with Galadriel just because he’s her husband. His presence won’t make Haladriel any less canon, real, or interesting—it'll just confirm that they aren't endgame. Therefore, I don't think Celeborn necessarily has to be a major part of the series. He wasn’t in the films, and he didn’t have a large role in the books either, compared to other characters. So it’s quite open with him—they could bring him in next season or delay his introduction even further; who knows.

I'd wager Celeborn won't be a very popular character

Yes, the official one. So they are acknowledging the fans by using the ship's name.

If anyone was expecting a dynamic similar to Arondir and Bronwyn or Durin and Disa, they are going to be disappointed.

But this is the pinnacle of dark romance:




The issue lies in their limited screen time, which is one of the weaknesses of this season. However, it seems they have recognised this mistake, as they’ve heavily promoted them. As long as they continue to have scenes together, good things will come, even if they aren’t destined to be endgame.

Hmm I wouldn’t call it “romance” tho. I know we are getting layers of him and I really like that but I am not sympathetic towards him at all. I think some fans do feel that. I also didn’t think Galadriel was in love in S1 contrary to what the director said (her interpretation) but she found some closeness for sure. They both did. In battle in grief in fear etc people do get close. Even the most unlikely people. and maybe it was out of manipulation too as Galadriel suggested. Maybe, what Sauron said was also true that “not all of it”… Wish we could see some au type things tho that would not bother anyone and would make fans happy

This way I am not able to take them out of their context but in AU that would not be an issue…

Dark romance. As a subgenre, dark romance can even encompass non-con, so generally speaking, mutual feelings of love aren't necessarily required for a dynamic to fit within this category. Certain aspects of Haladriel and their behaviour align with common dark romance tropes.

For me, there has been clear attraction and emotional involvement from both sides. Whether these are overshadowed by obsession, manipulation, vulnerability, the need for control, and a higher dark purpose that destroys any chance for pure love is another matter.

Not all of us will interpret show Haladriel in the same way, even if we enjoy fanon Haladriel. That’s perfectly fine—it leads to interesting discussions.

Hmm. Not my definition of them tbh. But it is up to discussion so discuss away

What do you think we can see in S3? What do they plan for them? Or what do you want to see?

They are so inspiring I would love to see an illusion of Sauron about “what if she said yes to him” Like we saw at the end of S1. Dark Lord and Queen. But longer more visual Of course it wouldn’t be the truth but we could have an AU type vision. I’d love that imo
