Feanorian fall from grace

What if the Valar favoured the feanorians? Wouldn't that make the Darkening and all the Kinslaying even more tragic?

I say yes, so let's dive into it.

So obviously, we start with the easiest Feanorians.

Feanor, Curufin, Nerdanel (yes I'm counting her in, no I will not be answering questions as to why) and Celebrimbor (yes, he also counts, yes he is the cinnamon roll of the family, no that does not make him any less of a chaos agent and mischief maker).

So they, of course, were favoured by Aule. Don't ask me, why (it should be obvious), when nor in what way.

Maybe he guided their hands when they worked, helping them along. I don't know. I'm a writer, and I honestly can't say what smiths, jewelry makers nor sculptors do (that's a lie, it's literaly my thing to say/write something in a way people think I know what I'm doing.)

Second - Maedhros or then Maitimo Nelyafinwe (yes, I'm puting his mother name first, no I will not explain myself). I feel like he would be favoured by Nienna, or Manwe, or both of them. It's a hunch. Nothing more. I just like it. Also maybe, a strong maybe, Este. Because Maitimo is the healer and peace maker of the family. He cares for others and their well being.

Celegrom and Ambarussua are favoured by Orome. They hunt, they love to do it, they care about nature and the hunt and nature cares and loves them. That's the story. Orome is pulled in by the fire of Feanorions and it stays like this (even the kinslaying couldn't fully break the connection)

Caranthir. I headcannon thet he sewed, like Miriel. And thus, Vaire. They are cool with each other. And both like history. I have no idea what is really happening and I'm okey with that. For more detailes go to them. I, however, take no responsibility about what you may find there. (a tea party, and cookies)

And finally Maglor. Here I had a problem bc I had so many ideas and at the same time, none. So heres a list of Valar whom I considered and a little bit of why:

Ulmo - for rather obvious reasons, like you know, wandering the shores, singing to the sea and all that.

Irmo - I know, I know, not something you might expect but.. who is Maglor if not a dreamer at heart? All articians are.. And Maglor can wave his dreams into reality of others minds with his song. So Irmo it is.

Varda - and, here even I paused. Because I have absolutely no idea where it came from. And then I started to consider it and here we are. I think Maglor loves the stars, and Varda likes his voice so here we are, once again. (I will not be answering questions on this one.)

Nessa - I have absolutely no idea. It just feels right and so it shall have a place on this list.

So.. yeah. I know Feanorians and Valar usually don't mix, but the fall from grace would be.. great (not great great but Great). I will maybe write a follow up blog on this about said fall from grace. I might not. I don't know, we will see if motivation strikes me anytime soon.

there are many reasons I like the "Erestor son of Caranthir" headcanon but secretly the main one is that I'm imagining all of the remaining noldo auditors sighing of relief when Caranthir dies and they don't have to try play 4d chess with multiverse time travel trying to catch this guy doing tax evasion. life is good for exilic auditors now.

and then suddenly Elrond and Elros turn up again! even better! oh who's this, Elrond? your good friend Erestor? he's helping you with your taxes? oh how swe- what is this Elrond. What is this. your paperwork for your taxes you say. not a declaration of war? because it looks like a declaration of war on the exilic auditors, Elrond.

and then all the auditors are so busy doing "extreme tax auditing™" for the first time since the second Kinslaying that they don't tell anyone they're pretty sure there's another scion of the house of Fëanor running around.

One of the funniest interactions in the Silmarillion for me tbh is when Curufin decides not to kill Eöl. I mean, it appears he doesn’t have much of an issue with murder and it probably would have been better in the long run for him to have killed Eöl but instead he’s like “by the laws of the Eldar I may not slay you at this time”. As opposed to some later date??? And also the same laws you broke in Alqualondë??? It’s just so funny to me. And the way it plays out in my head here is really more like:

Curufin: bitch get off my lawn I’m already in trouble with Maedhros and if I kill someone again I’ll never hear the end of it. Every minute you stay here is a threat to the both of us.

The Silmarillion fandom is collapsing.

Has anyone else noticed a lot of people leaving the silmarillion just general Tolkien fandom? Especially on tumblr. One of my favourite Silm blogs deleted their whole account and just disappeared. I’m seeing a lot of amazing creators put out their farewell statements. I absolutely don’t blame anyone who is choosing to leave and especially if it’s just because they’re not happy anymore or are moving on to other things. But I’m noticing that a lot of people are being very negative and some creators have explicitly stated that this has impacted them leaving and losing love and interest for something that once made them so happy because of all the negativity aimed at them. It’s so sad. Also wtf this is a hobby and some people are so demanding with creators like they’re not creating things unpaid and in their free time. Hating on people for what they love and find comfort in or calling them weird for liking and having different takes on certain FICTIONAL characters is disgusting and you’re absolutely the problem if you do that.

To any creators seeing this I just want you to know how much your work is and contribution is appreciated. Especially since it’s not that big of a fandom on here.

Everyone in Finarfin's family are all reasons he needs therapy because they're all crazy and everyone in Feanor's family needs therapy because he’s crazy.

Imagine for a moment that Bilbo befriend Maglor in Rivendell, then in the last ship they go both to Valinor. Bilbo hears that Maglor family can't come back and is like nop, this is my friend I will give him his family/home back. And convinces Mandos to give therapy (bilbo's company) to the feanorians, Mandos is just confused trying to figure out what is Bilbo (he has never hear about hobbits)

[nelyos-right-hand]

What's up Silm fandom! So I think that it's pretty common knowledge that Tolkien designed Middle Earth as an earlier version of our world, so I'm now assembling a crew to invade Aman.

I've done some research and I'm pretty sure that the straight way should be somewhere west of North America. The plan is to steal some boats, leave half of the fandom behind, burn them on the shores of Alqualonde and confirm our headcanons by visiting the house of Finwë.

Cause I don't know about you guys, but I'm not planning on spending the rest of my life in this miserable world when I can instead chill with the sons of Fëanor.

Fëanor's Odyssey

The Valar decide to allow Fëanor one last judgement but when Fëanor refuses their mercy they decide to test him by sending him away on an unknown land and letting him find his way back home. Fëanor is convinced he can easily return home and get the throne of the Noldor and everything he lost back but the Valar give him a warning, should Nerdanel remarry then he shall be stuck in the Hall until the breaking of the world.

[anna-dreamer]

So, this is something i have wanted to talk about for a while now. Not too super serious, but i do genuinely enjoy pondering over Silmarillion as one big metaphor for parent-child relationships. Just a heads-up, i don't consider Fëanor a good father, though i am sure he consciously tried to be one. Also, psychological realities do not always reflects things objectively.

Fëanorians for sure did start several fires, real and metaphorical, but you know what? They didn't start THE fire! It very much was always burning, regardless if the flat world was capable of turning. Ever since Eru failed to adequately parent the Ainur it has been a non-stop familial trauma that somehow transcends worlds and species! Melkor never got any idea of boundaries, never learned to bear frustration, never came to terms with the fact that his exceptional powers will not win his father's acceptance - so of course his destructive behaviour lead to a local apocalypse! The Valar never learned empathy, they came into Arda with a conviction that loving a parent meant being ever afraid, unquestioning, and obedient - so of course when they ended up with elves as their charges and foster children they employed the same formula, they did not know any better! They utterly failed to understand Míriel and wronged her greatly, thus becoming at least partially responsible for Fëanor's fear of inadequacy and of abandonment, suspiciousness, and resentment. Feeling unsafe in Valinor and being jealous of his half-siblings, of course Fëanor ensnared his sons into a web of enmeshment and codependency. He might have been well-meaning, striving to protect them and himself, but all he did was infuse his children with a solemn conviction that the world is unsafe, only Father sees it and knows what's best, everyone else is resentful of him because of this, so supporting Father utterly and without question is existential. So of course the Fëanorians swore their father's Oath! Of couse they swore it again after his death! That was the only thing left of Father, the last connection to him, the last chance to win his approval which is impossible because he is gone. In fact he was already gone even before his body burned away. But to admit this loss is impossibly scary. He will never come, he will never hold them and comfort them and embrace them the way they would like him to, because he has already abandoned them for the silmarils, and ego, and revenge, and grief. This is what Darkness Everlasting is - the existential dread of admitting that Father will never love them again.

That being said, i can only marvel at Celebrimbor, Elrond, and Elros, as they consciously tried to overcome Finwëan trauma and the latter two seem to have succeeded. (I don't think Celebrimbor "failed", after all Sauron's deception was out of his control, and this is Sauron we are talking about.)

Eru has started little fires everywhere. Much they have consumed.

Celebrimbor- Haha you still don’t know who your dad is

Gil-galad- Shut up I literally had to avenge you
