It never ceases to amaze me the number of the times Tolkien mentioned Finwe's love for Fëanor. I think there are no other fathers in the legendarium whose love for their son or daughter is as talked about as is Finwë's love for Fëanor.
In that time was born in Eldamar, in the house of the King in Tirion upon the crown of Tuna, the eldest of the sons of Finwe, and the most beloved. Curufinwe was his name, but by his mother he was called Feanor, Spirit of Fire; - The Silmarillion, Chapter 6, Of Fëanor and The Unchaining of Melkor
All his love he gave to his son; for Fëanaró was like his mother in voice and countenance, and Finwë was to him both father and mother, and there was a double bond of love upon their hearts. - Morgoth's Ring, The Later Quenta Silmarillion (II), Laws A
...Yet the shadow of Miriel did not depart from his heart, and Fëanaró always had the chief share of his thoughts. - Morgoth's Ring, The Later Quenta Silmarillion (II), Laws A
... And in spite of all that later happened his eldest son remained nearest to Finwë's heart. - The Peoples of Middle-earth, The Shibboleth of Fëanor
Thither also came Finwë the King, because of the love that he bore to Fëanor. - The Silmarillion, Chapter 7, Of The Silmarils and The Unrest Of The Noldor
There is a different version of the last quote in Morgoth's Ring which I personally prefer to the one we got in the published Silmarillion. The way it is worded gives a clear answer to the question why Finwë followed Fëanor in exile to Formenos.
With him went his sons, and Finwë his father, who would not be parted from him, in fault or guiltless. - - Morgoth's Ring, The Later Quenta Silmarillion (II), Later Chapter 6, Of The Silmarils and The Unrest Of The Noldor
Finwe did not follow Fëanor in exile because he felt like his authority as King of the Noldor was diminished by the Valar and they got involve in a situation that should have been Finwë's to handle.
He also did not follow Fëanor in exile because of some sort of guilt related to the fact that he is Fëanor's only parent and his son has nobody else left.
No.
Finwë willingly followed Fëanor in exile because he would not be parted from him, in fault or guiltless. It was never about Fëanor being right or wrong in this particular situation or any another. That is irrelevant to Finwë and it does not effect his decision. Finwë would follow Fëanor always regardless of whether his son was guilty of any transgression or not.
It's worth pointing out that Finwë did not hesitate to part from his kingship, from his people, from Indis, from his and Indis' children. But there is only one person Finwë never wants to be parted from and that is Fëanor.
... and I love that!

Three generations of Fëanorions
(Curvo, Náro & Tyelpe)
Recently I dug up the drawing I did of Náro because I’m not fully happy with how I rendered it (I’m still learning and that was one of the very first I did) but then I thought… why not give him some company with his two little clones!!
I love them so much…..
(Closeups under the cut!)

Fëanáro's seemed different, recently. Finwë isn't sure what it is. Everything is the same, right?
Miriel smiles, her eyes like keyholes - which is normal, right? That's just like it was before. Of course, dear, she says. Everything is fine.

Fëanorian outfits: Fëanor + Nerdanel
Have to say that this isn't the best y'all have likely seen from my blog 😂 I'm kinda sad to have had to rush this one because of exams ......again :')
I went for a soft/romantic evening out design for their clothes. It's nice to imagine what they could've worn on days where they got to be together happily and without oaths and problems keeping them apart. I think I might spend some more time figuring out designs for the both of them in the future.
Hopefully I'll soon be able to post a queue of what'll be in store for April! I have to wrestle through my exams first tho :'D

the creator and father of fire
It's Dad!
I'd like to emphasize his creator status more than the rebel of fate and the source of Nordor's doom
I think he'd prefer his status as a great scholar.

Upon the confines of Dor Daedeloth, the land of Morgoth, Fëanor was surrounded by Balrogs. Long he fought on, and undismayed, though he was wrapped in fire and wounded with many wounds; but at the last he was smitten to the ground by Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs.

I think Fëanor would get along well with Men.
He’s an inventor right. A mad scientist amongst the elves and no doubt believes they grow stagnant far too easily with how little innovation there is, I mean look what happens after he’s killed. Not only in terms of *things* but also with art and general creativity. No wonder he felt stifled. No wonder he was so desperate to leave.
Then along come these ‘lesser beings.’
And they might be physically weaker, prone to sickness, and die quickly. But there’s a *spark* within them to learn. To constantly push boundaries and even break them. Elves’ immortality makes them slow to progress, whilst he sees the race of Man working so fervently, so passionately that in the span of a human lifetime they manage to create and advance more than the elves have over literal Ages.
Like I’m thinking of Fëanor in the modern day seeing spacecraft and electricity and chemistry and forms of communications the Eldar can’t even begin to imagine. I honestly think he’d thrive to the point he wouldn’t even want to return to Valinor (AU anyone? 😂)
What the elves call ‘mad’, humans see as opportunity. As a challenge. Just like him.
But even in ME canon, I think he’d have a lot of fun working with them, just like he’d have a lot of fun working with Dwarves. And they’d create incredible things together.

Fëanáro, Nerdanel & Telperinquar
Latest portraits
Sons of Fëanáro - Children of Ñolofinwë - Ñolofinwë, Anairë & Grandchildren
HC:
Feanor: Feanor dresses in pale colors like Miriel. I like to think Miriel dresses in light colors, not necessarily white. I don´t think he adorns himself with a lot of jewelry, just enough for him to be stylish, but not more, as he cares more about making things for those he cares for than himself, and if it is for himself, he would rather focus on something more practical, like lamps and machines.
Nerdanel: I have a surprising lot of thoughts about Nerdanel, one of them being that she´s a very loud Feanorian stan, although there´s a lot she thinks is plainly stupid she still supports her husband(ex??) and most of his ideals fierily. I think she dresses much more plainly than other Noldor, but will not necessarily turn down the option to adorn herself in jewelry. While I think she eagerly awaited her crowning, I don´t think it ever came, and she therefore never really had the possibility to wear a crown (not circlet she could still wear circles) as Finarfin was crowned when his brothers left. I don´t think that married in, in the Noldor royal house, could wear crowns before they themself was crowned kings/queen, even if it was just over a smaller piece of land. This left her to never wear a circlet as she was waiting to be crowned queen which never happened, meaning she never wore something on her head. She still wore royal braids and such, as that was accepted. All this leads her to be called Ríantaú by those who are against Feanor**. * She ends up going to Formenos and taking in all the Feanorian loyalties over the ages, becoming a queen at the end although never crowned, and known as a bitter woman because of her sons' departure.
Celebrimbor: I don´t read Celebrimbor as a naive person, rather I read him as someone who bears a lot of guilt, and in some cases let it control him, even if he was not the one at fault, this makes it easier for him to welcome everyone when the second age begins, after all evil was destroyed right? That was what the Valar said, and it does harm to everyone to throw someone out in the wilderness. I do believe he was aware that Annatar was a Maia of Morgoth, I also believe that while he didn´t think Annatar was all good, he believed in himself that he could make Annatar a better person. When Celebrimbor is reborn he ends up seeking out Nerdnal, who welcomes him in her city with open arms where he stays most of his time. On jewelry, I was helped by a lot of people (@lulukeskywalker pointed out that Eregion was named after the hollie trees it´s said to have) with the holly HC some might have heard about him, and it comes from that Eregion had a lot of hollie trees, which is a very sweet note professor, thank you for that, so I, of course, had to give him some holly themed jewelry. On a last note of jewelry, I tried to give him something between art nouveau and brutalism, to give him his own style. - note Celebrimbor follows second age fashion, therefor having his braids at the back instead of both at the front and back. - note Celebrimbor´s circlet is very intentionally inspired by Maglor´s.
Other HC:
I like to think that both Thingol and Finwe ruled their land as Empires, meaning that there were smaller kings and queens under their rule, while the rest, like Owlë and Ingwë ruled as only kings. I think it makes most sense with Thingol but I also like it with Finwe as his family was so big so it would make sense. - examples would be the roman empire and Scandinavia around year 0 to year 500 where the really where no kingdoms as we see them today but many small kings and later one king over the small kings. *
**Ríanta = To crown/Coronate: Quenya - Ú = Without/Destitute of: Quenya - Ríantaú = Without crown/Crownless: Quenya
Grey, mostly a pale grey close to white, is the mourning color for the Eldar´s as it´s associated with Nienna.

I need a Silmarillion adaptation that really pushes for Feanor to be the protagonist so that when he abruptly dies five scenes in the people who didn't know will get blindsided.
