"While still in early youth Fëanor wedded Nerdanel, a maiden of the Noldor; at which many wondered, for she was not among the fairest of her people."
(Morgoth's Ring, J. R. R. Tolkien)
Call her "not the fairest" where Fëanor can hear you and see what happens.
Go on.
I refuse to believe he wasn't truly, madly, deeply, passionately in love with her. Which means that to him, she was absolutely the fairest, most beautiful living elleth.
And you cannot tell me he wouldn't have shouted it from the rooftops.
Guy is literally names "fiery soul", he is not subtle. Or reserved. The entire damn continent will know how he feels.
If she had not reciprocated his feelings, the moping would have been epic.
Also tell me this chronicle was written after Fëanor and his sons were safely dead without telling me this chronicle was written after Fëanor and his sons were safely dead.
No way they wouldn't have rearranged the writer's face for them.

Nerdanel: we didn't even have a proper wedding - we just went down to the courthouse on a Tuesday.
Fëanor: the judge sentenced me to life with no chance of parole.
Nerdanel: you begged me to marry you.
Fëanor: it's true, I did.

World Turned Upside Down - a Fëanor/Nerdanel fanmix
"Prettiness" - Noe Venable
I have never been one for prettiness (prettiness) Thinking of lace 'bout makes me puke But the thing I just bought has a little bit (little bit) I'm putting it on and I'm thinking of you.
"Nothing Without You" - Vienna Teng
All my books are lying useless now All my maps will only show me how to lose my way Oh, call my name; you know my name And in that sound, everything will change Tell me it won't always be this hard I am nothing without you, but I don't know who you are.
"Take This Longing" - Leonard Cohen
Your beauty lost to you yourself Just as it was lost to them. Oh, take this longing from my tongue, Whatever useless things these hands have done Let me see your beauty broken down Like you would do for one you love.
"Cannonball" - Vienna Teng
Stones taught me to fly Love taught me to lie Life taught me to die And it's not hard to fall When you float like a cannonball.
"If I Were a Weapon" - Suzanne Vega
I feel more like a needle Always pulling on the thread Always making the same point again And wondering if you heard what I just said.
"Where's the Girl?" - Voltaire
Where's the girl I fell in love with? Where'd she go? Where's that kind and gentle princess Of my dreams? Where'd she go? Why'd she go away? Where'd she go? Why'd you take her away from me?
"Storm in a Teacup" - Susan McKeown
I'd forgotten what it looked like To look in your eyes and see all that madness and mistrust.
"House Where Nobody Lives" - Tom Waits
What makes a house grand ain't the roof or the doors If there's love in a house it's a palace for sure Without love, it ain't nothing but a house A house where nobody lives.

fëanorian week day seven ✷ fëanor + nerdanel
“While still in his early youth he wedded Nerdanel, the daughter of a great smith named Mahtan, among those of the Noldor most dear to Aulë; and of Mahtan he learned much of the making of things in metal and in stone. Nerdanel also was firm of will, but more patient than Fëanor, desiring to understand minds rather than to master them, and at first she restrained him when the fire of his heart grew too hot; but his later deeds grieved her, and they became estranged. Seven sons she bore to Fëanor; her mood she bequeathed in part to some of them, but not to all.”
-JRR Tolkien, The Silmarillion, “Of Fëanor and the Unchaining of Melkor”

gotta say some people are always like oooo fëanor loved plain nerdanel because she was so soft and kind and patient and lovely to him and that’s what made her beautiful to him. ok well what if she wasn’t. what if she was impatient and irritable and jumped up during family dinner to go start work on a new sculpture. what if she spent days down there in her workshop covered in dust ignoring everyone. what if she wasn’t very maternal. what if she had a temper. what if she was a brilliant abrasive artist like he was. what if she wasn’t just a woman forced to mother a difficult man. what if instead their partnership was built off homophrosyne and that’s why they worked
#nerdanel#fëanor#and also then they draw her by the exact same beauty standards as any other woman. lol#the silmarillion#my posts

Noldorin family trees again bc its been like. 2 years and ive changed everything
design notes below readmore
-originally wanted finwe to be very blue bc of the color coding w miriel and indis, and then their children ie: Fëanor wearing red bc he's Míriel's son, Fingolfin wearing blue bc he's Finwë's son, and Finarfin wearing green bc he's Indis' son. scrapped it bc he looks good in white and gold but the idea stuck around with the silver n gold
-little gemstones on Finwë's headdress are red and green for his wives. similarly Fëanor's are only red for his mother
-Finarfin wears a more vanyarin style compared to his siblings, aside from Lalwen but her style is also like. noldorinized
-the different clans of elves have different resting positions for their ears! the vanyar have theirs almost straight up, the noldor have the classic kinda-up, and the teleri have theirs parallel to the ground
-thr large headdresses Finwë, Fëanor, Fingolfin, Maedhros, Curufin, and Fingon wear are like noldorin royalty stuff for eldest sons/heirs. While i do think Maedhros is Fëanor's heir i do think some favoritism let Curufin wear one too. i dont think i need to explain why Curufin's looks so similar to Fëanor's
-fingolfins headdress is meant to resemble the sun bc he's the first High King under the Sun and Moon
-the nose ring that some of them have is a Vanyarin style indicating that they are married
-Maedhros and Fingon have similar headdreses bc i think it would have pissed tf out of their fathers. also i think its funny
-Nerdanel and Anairë are noldor, but to me they are from noldorin minorities which have slightly differing cultures frm the majority which is why their clothing is slightly different
-that boob window thing Nerdanel, Maedhros, and Celegorm have are specific and iconic to the Aulendil
-Maglor is channeling Míriel’s clothing style here, which although might come off as a bit feminine is not. i dont think elves would be very strict abt that kinda stuff
-Míriel and Celegorm have albinism
-the Ambarussa aren't quite identical and i think they have very dif personalities and styles. to me. Amras (short hair) is more mainstream noldorin while Amrod is more of their mothers style
-while he and his siblings r very noldorin in style, Argon is channeling his mothers style more than the majority
-the mark on Eärwen and her children's lower lips are a coming of age kinda thing. dont ask me how they get those vibrant colors bc i dont know
-the gold on Eärwen’s headscarf is meant to resemble fishing nets
-each of Finarfin and Eärwen’s children channel a dif. part of their heritage in their clothing--Finrod is a noldorinized vanyarin style, Angrod and Aegnor are different kinds of Telerin, and Galadriel is Noldorin
-the like. shark tooth necklaces that Angrod and Aegnor have is a symbol of being an accomplished fisherman
-everyone born in Valinor has light in the center of their eyes which correspond to the light of the trees they were born under. this doesnt really matter and you cant really see it but its important to me that you know
-on that note, Finarfin has both lights in his eyes bc he was born during the mingling. bc i can do whatever i want
#Indis and Finarfin's clothes are based on Xhosa and Ndebele styles so if i got anything wrong PLEASE tell me#also idk why i wrote all their names in quenya but i was too lazy to go back and change it so. rip.#tolkien#xiphoids art#silmarillion#the silmarillion#only tagging the elders n heads of house bc thats way too many names otherwise#miriel therinde#miriel#finwe#indis#feanor#fëanor#fingolfin#finarfin#nerdanel#anaire#anairë#Eärwen#earwen#maedhros#fingon#finrod#i spent a lot of time on the details please please look at them. if tunglr didnt fuck my shit up

Nerdanel and Fëanor over a baby Curufin:
Nerdanel: Absolutely not, Fëanáro, his first word will be ammë!
Fëanor: No, I can feel it, he is a father's boy! You named him yourself! His first word will be atar!
Curufin: -gurgles-
Nerdanel: Say ammë, a-m-m-ë!
Fëanor: Say atar! Or perhaps atya, which is a permutation of the--
Curufin: N, n, n, n....
Nerdanel: Oh! He's trying to say my name! How sweet! And see? An elfling will call for his moth--
Curufin: NELLLYOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
- Camera pans to a frazzled, disheveled, and tired looking Maedhros with Maglor, Celegorm, and Caranthir already hanging off him -

Headcanon born from a conversation with @wings-of-indigo
Maedhros as a child went through the "why" phase.
Fëanor and Nerdanel absolutely indulged him, and did their best to answer all his questions.
Then Maglor was born. And there came the "arguing against the rules to benefit Baby Brother" phase.
Also known as the "Yes, but" phase.
That one was... harder.
Example:
Fëanor: and I don't want to hear another "Yes but" out of you.
Maedhros: ...yes, however...

New crack idea;
Fëanor and Nerdanel are so busy travelling, exploring, making, and inventing during the early stages of their marriage that they completely forgot about the possibility of having kids. They were just living their best lives, mining ores, genstones and marble. That is, until Nolofinwë announced that Anaïre was expecting. Fëanor panicked because "how DARE Nolofinwë give Finwë his first grandchild! Nerdanel, to the bedroom!"
Maedhros was then very helpfully born 6 weeks early, beating Fingon's birth by 2 weeks. The only sign that he was premature at all were his folded ears because he was already far bigger than most full-gestational aged babies. After that, Fëanor and Nerdanel realised they LOVED babies, and the rest is history.

Here comes my @tolkienrsb 2024 art! (Acrylic, 40x80cm) I've also been fascinated by the time period in the Years of the Trees before the conflicts within the Noldor truly boil over, but when they are just starting to arise. The "Finwëan family picnic" painting has in some form or another been going back and forth from WIP/abandoned WIP since 2021, so I am also happy to finally have done the idea justice :D
The fic for this piece has been written by @skaelds, who managed to beautifully bring the painting alive in her words and expand on the little moments we see, tying the little scenes together in the evening that the family shares at their yearly picnic. As the Finwëans try to cherish the yearly meeting, the many little tensions and cracks in the peace beautifully explore this strange moment in Aman. You can find the fic: "au dessus des nuages" here Rating: General Audiences No Archive Warnings Category: F/M Relationships: general Finwëan family relationships Characters: Finwë, Indis and most of the kids & grandkids Additional Tags: Family Fluff, Tension, Years of the Trees, Dysfunctional Family
