#not of Finwë and Indis

[yellow-faerie]

Ok so, follow up poll from this one (since I'm curious):

(please add any extra info on why/headcanons in the tags, I really wanna know since more people than I expected counted them among the best)

Of Caranthir.

Caranthir looks like Miriel.

Because even though Tyelkormo has the platinum hair of the Noldor queen, he does not look like his grandmother.

But Indis can see Miriel in Carnistir, when Fëanáro's son moves about the Finwë household, she is able to see her in the stubbornness that the prince dazzles and even in his angry outbursts, she can sense a gleam in the shadows of his eyes that she had only seen in Þerinde.

In the same way, Fëanáro can see Miriel when Carnistir is embroidering in the depths of his room accompanied only by a few candles that produce enough light to work without problems, he can find her in the meaningless humming of his son that many times have generated tears in his eyes.

Finwë can see Miriel when Carnistir smiles, he inherited her smile, and he can't help his heart squeezing when he sees his grandson with a clear joy in his face.

That's probably the reason for him to look up to him just a little bit more than his other grandchildren.

"pronouncing 'Þerindë' as 'Serindë' is not that big of a deal" just say you've always been called right your whole life.

Sometimes I think about Fëanor and Fingolfin and I wonder so much about them. Why did Fingolfin try so hard to have a good relationship with Fëanor? Was there some point in their lives when Fëanor treated him well and he wants to have that again? Was Fëanor distant with him and Finarfin and Fingolfin was just constantly told to keep trying? Did Finwë ever try to help his sons get along? Did Fëanor ever want to have a relationship with Fingolfin and Finarfin, or did he never want that? Did Indis ever try to bond with Fëanor after she married Finwë or was she pushed away? Did she ever try to help Fingolfin and Fëanor get along? I just—I have so many thoughts and emotions about Fingolfin and Fëanor 😭😭😭

Even though I usually prefer purely Noldorin Míriel because I hate the idea of certain elf tribes having "exclusive" looks, her being a distant (keyword: distant) relative of the Telerin Royal family from who she get's her iconic silver hair can also be fun. Because then I can headcanon she looks like Elwë, Eärwen, Celeborn, & Celebrían and that Finarfin, Galadriel, & Elrond literally all have the same type as Finwë and it would also mean Indis has to see Míriel's ghost even in her own descendants, as if they were meant to be Míriel's all along.

[chaos-of-the-abyss]

wait i thought i’d seen the full extent of the silm fandom’s misogyny but i guess the silm fandom can always hate female characters more because apparently?? people believe indis the manipulative malicious bitch came onto and cajoled and stalked finwe until he relented and married her all while specifically aiming to make it so that miriel could never come back and she could have finwe's dick for all of eternity and abuse poor helpless feanor to her black shriveled heart’s content??? apparently that is a take that exists and has shooters??? yall are truly smoking that good stuff

I desperately would love love LOVE to introduce Feanorians to a Quenyan version of Scrabble and watch them explode

I imagine that they'd make a bigger board to be able to fit 10-12 players and it would go on for days. With bickerings on the validity of words and with Moryo as the score keeper who can't quite keep his mouth shut and joins in on the bickering on wheter the word choice is "so fucking stupid, Tyelko. It should be banned on principle. What the fuck-". Each of the Feanorion just keeps on making up new rules especially after the Ambarussa makes up new words and argues for a whole hour and a half that it "totally counts as a word. Trust us, Nelyo-", that time Meadhros tried to pass a whole ass sentence as a "word", when Feanor took almost 12+ hours to think up an appropriate word to put down and etc.

Because come on guys. Ñoldor? "Those with great knowledge"? Feanor? The guy who created a whole ass writing system (the Tengwar)? His family? Who is just as intense and competitive as him? His step-siblings who would no doubt love an excuse to throw down without getting into trouble with the Valar or Finwë? Scrabble is THE BEST for Ñoldor Family Game Night(s).

I can just imagine Feanor playing scrabble with Finwë, Indis, Nolofinwë, Arafinwë, Írimë and Findis. Oh boyy. Findis is keeping score but everyone keeps trying to justify how they should have a higher score that word. Nolo and Feanor are shouting. Accusing each other for cheating. Ara made a throwaway joke once and suddenly BOTH his brothers are shouting at him. Indis saw the chaos and wanted to put away the game but was immediately stopped. Finwë is just happy to spend time with his family. Írimë is, in fact, the one who is cheating

Edit: More Feanorion shenanigans here! For part 2

Edit: And another! For part 3

Edit: Part 4!

Since I feel like making another of these polls:

Summary:

When Indis first met Fëanáro, she was still la Lady of the Vanyarin Court and had not yet met Finwë - the future love of her life - in anything outside of an official capacity.

-

In the aftermath of Finwë's death, fading in his sleep from his longstanding grief, Indis must keep it together for her children, and for the baby within her, and for Fëanáro - who does not particularly want her help. She has friends and her brother but it is still no easy task.

This is a fic for @tolkienrsb, for slide #48!

Finwë Dynasty

Finwë et sa première épouse Miriel Perindë avec qui il a eu son premier fils, Fëanor. Sa seconde épouse Indïs, avec qui il eut deux filles et deux garçons, Findïs, Fingolfin, Irimë et Finarfin.

Finwë • Indis • Míriel

[riding-with-the-wild-hunt]

“And when she learned of Finwë all that had befallen since her departure (for she had given no heed to it, nor asked tidings, until then) she was greatly moved; and she said to Finwë in her thought: ‘I erred in leaving thee and our son, or at least in not soon returning after brief repose; for had I done so he might have grown wiser. But the children of Indis shall redress his errors and therefore I am glad they should have being, and Indis hath my love. How should I bear grudge against one who received what I rejected and cherish what I abandoned.’“ - J.R.R. Tolkien, Morgoth's Ring, Laws and Customs Among the Eldar

@finweanladiesweek day 1 » INDIS & MÍRIEL THERINDË

[ID: an edit comprised of four posters in dark and light browns accented with gold and silver.

1: Roseline Lawrence, a ugandan-south sudanese model with dark skin and long coily dark hair. She is plus-size, wearing gold makeup and looking over her shoulder with one hand raised. She is framed by a gold rectangle, with gold text at the bottom reading "indis" in all caps. Below that, text in varying yellow shades reads "great; valiant woman," "second wife of finwë," and "“She was a Vanya, close kin of Ingwë the High King, golden-haired and tall, and in all ways unlike Míriel" / 2: A detail from a painting showing golden embroidered cloth draping down from above. Yellowish-orange text in a transparent brown box reads "“...when Indis saw Finwë climbing the paths of the Mountain, and the light of Laurelin was behind him as a glory, without forethought she sang suddenly in great joy, and her voice went up as a song of the lirulin in the sky. Then Finwë heard that song falling from above, and he looked up and saw Indis in the golden light, and he knew in that moment that she loved him and had long done so" / 3: A detail from a painting showing draped white and silver cloth. Silver text in the same format as Image 2 shows the same passage as the caption of the edit / Thando Hopa, a xhosa-sotho south african woman with albinism. She is looking straight at the viewer and is wrapped in a white robe that falls over her head, though she holds it out of her face. Same format as Image 1, but the frame and text are silver, and the text reads "míriel," "jewel-daughter," "first wife of finwë," and "She was a Noldorin Elda of slender and graceful form, and of gentle disposition, though . . .she could show an ultimate obstinacy that counsel or command would only make more obdurate" /End ID]

Why did I see someone on Tolkien reddit victim blaming Míriel for staying dead & calling her a bad mother?...

Disappointed but can't say I'm surprised.
