Something I find interesting is that Fëanor's deeds specifically are really blown out of proportion... many fanworks portray him as some bloodthirsty monster that killed everything, and everyone who stood against him. But... that's not actually true at all, is it? The only time he killed was at Alqualondë, and even then, it was something that happened out of an escalated conflict. It wasn't something Fëanor had planned out or even thought of beforehand. His other, non-boat-related crimes? Pointing a sword at his brother. That's it. Unless you count being angry for the injustice done to him and his mother, yelling at people, and refusing to kill yourself because someone asked as crimes.

Like I'm sure he wasn't a pleasant person to be around in his final years of life, and his actions did cause great harm. But damn if it isn't blown out of proportion. Yes, the oath was awful, but Fëanor was delirious with grief, and, if we are to believe his children, borderline suicidal. He wasn't thinking about what his words would mean for others, he never meant to hurt anyone but Morgoth. How did that give him the rep of being The Most Evil Elf Ever?

Also, who came up with the idea that Fëanor or his sons killed children during the kinslayings? There is 0 evidence for that. And yes, I know about E&E¹, but none of them did that.

Idea Fëanor working the forge while humming to himself

Maglor: Why are you so calm?! Our little brother is somewhere in the city alone!

Maedhros: Don't worry. Do you remember how he got lost in the woods with ada? Tyelko came back after half an hour and ada - only in the evening.

I’m SO mad Kai didn’t get to meet Rio Ranger that would’ve been 11x funnier than Shin meeting Midori

Yeahhhh, Shin’s meeting his abuser after years of thinking him dead, who CARESSS

Kai meeting the brother that died in his arms in the form of a sadistic doll? Now that’s Tea

concept i've been thinking about lately: feanor writes all his notes in conlangs. so no one else can understand them, of course. except sometimes, he can't understand them either. this is the real reason why the silmarils were a one time thing.

[revee-nyardil]

In an au where Fëanor was sent back to Middle-earth just after Nolo crosses the ice

Fëanor learns about Maedhros' capture. His sons (minus Nelyo) blame Fëanor. Because HE crafted the Oath. Maedhros wouldn't have gone (in their minds) if it hadn't been for the Oath. He was compelled to go because Morgoth offered the Silmaril and Fëanor "made" him swear (not true, but they are freaking out).

I'd just love to see the confrontation. Like, would Fëanor feel guilty? Justified? Just more revenge-y? Which of his kids would punch him first (finrod has a betting pool going)

feanor would be so proud to see elrond swinging that hammer

I like the idea that if I don't post on here in over 24 hours people probably assume I'm out living my life when in reality I've just been sucked into a 100k fanfic and the idea of not reading it for more than a second makes me want to eat my own hands
