do you see my vision here guys it took all of my willpower to not give him birds and i had an idea that would be so good but alas I am not up to the task of designing all of stampy’s helpers as gems but it would be sooo goofy if yellow diamond stampy held all his helpers and they sat on him like his minecraft story mode parrots i would die from joy if it was real

opinion on the SU-47?
I assume we're talking about the Russian fighter jet designed by Sukhoi in the 90s and then discontinued in the 2000s, right?
This guy, right?
I'm by no means a plane expert, nor am I necessarily a fighter jet history buff. Honestly, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I only really have opinions about Canada's fighter jets, or rather their complete lack of them because of the Canadian Government's decisions made in the 1950s (I mourn the loss of the Avro Arrow... sigh). And even those opinions aren't about the actual jet itself, but more about the repercussions it's had on Canada's military decisions and their rocky relationship with companies like Boeing and such and the poor position it's put Canada in recently (relying on the US to buy jets from etc. etc.) But you've made me curious, anon... what are my opinions on the SU-47?
As a disclaimer, I don't have any real understanding of how fighter jets work and stuff like that, so a lot of the technical aspect of planes and such just fly over my head. I struggle with numbers and acronyms in general, so one can imagine the absolute hell that is learning and keeping track of planes and fighter jets. So I can't give you my opinion about the technological aspects and advancements the SU-47 seemed to have.
But, I skimmed the Wikipedia page and I watched a YouTube video about it. I didn't understand much to be honest (sorry). But, I will say that the forward facing wings is a really interesting and futuristic looking. Along with it's other advantages such as decreased drag and improved maneuverability because of the front facing wing. It's really interesting how a switch in wing direction can create a more aerodynamic jet (at least, I'm pretty sure what the video said...) And from my understanding, the SU-47 is a pillar for which fighter jets since then have been built upon and that's really cool. It would have been interesting to see what the SU-47 could have really done if the necessary technology was available at the time to make it work, but alas, it is now shelved for the rest of history. And I think that's what makes the jet cool to me. Like all the what if questions: what if they had the right engines? What if the Russian government found enough funding to keep the project going? What would have changed? I don't know, I think that's what I found the most interesting about the SU-47.
Overall, I think it's a really cool jet, with the way that it looks and how interesting the history is behind it. It's always interesting to learn about fighter jets other than the United States' jets and how jets like the SU-47 provide further insight to the Cold War and such. But I guess that's really all I have to say... I hope I satisfied you with my answer, anon!

Feanor’s Legit Family Issues Part 2
Ok, can we talk about how really weird it is the finwe met, fell in love, and remarried within little over a decade after Miriel’s death?
It’s fucking wierd, right?
You have all these other elves who have lost their spouse who don’t remarry, even those that choose to stay in middle-earth/beriland, and so would not really know or benefit from the whole “elves get re-embodied” bit unless they died or went west and aren’t beholden to the rules of the valar, don’t have more than 1 spouse.
No wonder Feanor thinks Finwe doesn’t care about him or his mother. Finwe didn’t even wait until feanor was fully grown to have a new wife.
And obviously, for mortals i understand why you wouldn’t necessarily wait until your kid is full grown to try at another relationship.
But COME ON! Elves are fucking immortal! Finwe had all the time in the world and STILL shacked up with another woman in, what’s really from the elven perspective, a blink of an eye.
Furthermore, i understand why Feanor is at the very least weary of Indis bc indis was in love with Finwe since before Miriel died, so, while it’s not outright stated that Indis is happy that Miriel didn’t want to re-embody (and we’re going to ignore that Miriel likely suffered from post-partum, meaning that she really wasn’t in the right mind set to make such a decision) it is rather implied. And i would not be comfortable around someone, much less call them family, that is, for the lack of better terms, happy that my mom is dead, happy that i lost her when i was born.
So in regards to both Finwe and Indis, i understand perfectly why Feanor believed that he was unwanted, that he was not loved and being replaced.
There’s something really 👀👀👀 about that relationship that does not align with literally any other good relationship written in Tolkien (as far as i know).
(I would like to state that i am not analyzing the relationship between feanor and his half siblings, and that any implication to it is accidental, as feanor’s relationship with finwe and indis is the focus of this post.)
