#just that like feanor (whom everyone loves to slander)

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

You know? A lot of people harp on feanor not being a good dad, yet fail to realize that none of finwe’s sons were really good dads, what with nolofinwe’s “yeah i’m totally gonna drag my people and kids across the grinding ice to follow my half brother” and arafinwe’s “yeah I’m absolutely gonna abandon all my kids to the inevitable horror of the doom and what they’ll find in beriliand.”

There’s a difference between being a good person and being a good parent and ngl, i think nolo and ara kinda dropped the ball there.

I am absolutely not gonna talk about how this applies to all three’s wives bc it absolutely does (the only saving grace is the possibility that they didn’t know until to late (unlikely) bc we are not really informed as to where they were during the flight of the noldor)

I’m not saying that feanor was a good dad during those last few years with the silmarils and all, but he’s not the only one who put something else over his own kids.

(This is my opinion and you’re welcome to yours, of course. Just please keep it off this post if you disagree)
