Friendly reminder to the RoP fans who don't know the original lore:

Valandil is Isildur's son (But let's be honest, he was more raised by Elrond)

Galadriel is older than the sun

Elven men canonically have long hair

Elrond was found by Maedhros and Maglor and also is not, in fact, an orphan, his mom is a bird and his dad is a star and they may or may not be divorced

Isildur, Ar-Pharazon, Miriel, Valandil, and almost all of the rest of Gondor and Numenor's royals are Elrond's nieces and nephews.

Galadriel has a husband and a daughter

A daughter who IS MARRIED TO ELROND

Gondolin

In Valinor, one year is a century long. 20 years to an elf is only about three months to a human.

A Durin would not be the son of another Durin

None of these events happen anywhere near one another in the timeline

Galadriel sees right through Sauron instantly, she does not fall in love with him

Nor does she fall in love with Elrond, as he is her son-in-law and also her therapist

And finally, a reminder to the Tolkein purists:

PEOPLE CAN BE BLACK.

Elves can, and in fact, probably were, people of color. Only the Noldor were probably ever genuinely white. The Sindar, the Vanyar, the Falmari, all of them were probably various POC.

In the final version of the canon, dwarf women having beards was uncertain, and even if it was 100% sure that the group of dwarves we know had women with beards, Disa is clearly a different ethnicity, and possibly a different culture, so it is entirely possible that she would not have a beard.

Arondir was a prisoner, and elven prisoners likely had their hair cut to insult or disgrace them, so it is entirely possible that he would have short hair at the time he is shown.

Elrond, Disa and Durin are cute. It does not matter that they aren't canon. People can like these characters. I liked several of them myself, though I found some quite flat and one-dimensional.

As long as you aren't hurting anybody, discriminating against anybody, or erasing someone else's hard work (ahem, Tolkein's elvish language and customs) you can do whatever you want. Hell, I kinda want to ship Disa and Celebrian. I'm not hurting anyone, so I can do just that! (Amazon, however, is hurting people. Know that before you go into this.)
