#I will say that Dialux has some excellent Findis-centric fic! I enjoyed it v much!

What do you think of Findis's birth?

The firstborn of Indis/Finwe

Maybe they were glad she is a girl, so not much of a threat to Feanor's heirship

Her name is their shipname. Straight up their shipname

Must have been wild, the pressure

Anon, I must admit that I rarely consider Findis at all.

I do have a vague (and second- or third-hand) impression that one of Finwe's rationales to remarry was because he had a son but no daughters. And based on that I would project at least Feanor's emotional trajectory as:

All-consuming bitterness about them having any children, cognitively because they bought their child with Miriel's live and subconsciously because if Finwe can replace Miriel then logic dictates that Feanor himself is replaceable-- and then

The kind of bitterness that'a self-loathing he can't even look at head-on, because Indis survives and what does that say about Feanor, about Miriel-- and then

Thank goodness it's a girl and Finwe finally has his daughter and there's no need for them to have more kids. Feanor can share with a (half) sister. That's bearable. That's limited. He can work with a sister. Maybe some day he could love a--

And the Indis announces her second pregnancy. 🙃
