Why did feanor burn the ships if he brought with him only those he trusted? Could he not have left them docked and never sent them back? Could it be it was his eldest son he feared would disobey his orders? Could it be Maitimo’s very question, which ships and rowers shall we send back first, that pushed him over the line?

I painted a couple of traditional art pieces as Scribbles and Drabbles art submissions. Here is the second, "A Great Burning, Bright and Terrible". I did it in a bit of a hurry, so a few things bug me about it.
The weirdest thing about this painting is that one of my closest RL friends saw it and said, "wait, that's Feanor burning the Swan-ships, right?" She's not in online fandom, just a random Tolkien fan.

Things would not have been better if Fëanor hadn't burned the ships.
I'd actually argue that things would've ended up worse.
For one, we know Fingolfin was angling to be High King of the Noldor, hence his adoption of Finwenolofinwë. This wasn't something that he started doing on the Helcaraxë - he started using it after Alqualondë.
Maybe it wasn't intentional on his part, but he also didn't speak out against it, and he would have known his people called him that. Fëanor knew about it.
This power struggle was bad enough in Aman. Can you just imagine how much worse it would've been in Beleriand? Two sects fighting each other as much as they fought Morgoth. It really would have been a disaster. They probably wouldn't have fought each other physically, but they would be weaker together than apart.
One of them had to go.
Happenstance chose Fëanor in canon, but in this scenario, it could go either way.
But even if one of them died or, in a very unlikely scenario, gave up their claim, I doubt the other's people would follow whoever ended up king. Especially if the king they followed died.
It was probably for the best that Fëanor burned the ships tbh.

Feanor: okay, let’s hear the arguments. We left Fingolfin and his followers behind by the Helacarxë. Tall son thinks we should go back for him because…
Maedhros: He might be in real and extreme danger?
Feanor : Bu t have you considered that (sighs) He’s a prick, pretty ginger, A massive fucking prick.
Maedhros: Wait, who are we talking about again
Feanor : (lighting a match) Valar, it’s tricky….

I have nearly filled up an entire sketchbook in the past months and I haven't posted any of it whoops.
So have a redraw of sorts!

We might guess that the ships were as important to the Teleri as the Silmarils were to Fëanor. You are bound to love the creation you put so much effort, time and a piece of your soul into. It is a sad image of Fëanor burning the ships that were once so lovingly cherished, and with them he killed the Teleri once again.

(It’s been said before, but) the political tension between the hosts of feanor and Fingolfin must have been fucking apocalyptic. Fingon clearly wasn’t motivated by friendship— he and Maedhros were already estranged before Losgar. That level of suicide mission is only attempted once after, by Finrod, who was compelled by an oath. Yet he went. The Noldor must have been that close to all-out civil war.

I would love to see Curvo in #6 ! :)

Curufin 6 regretting immediately the ship burning.
He was definitely okey with it, but now that it has been done, something feels odd.
