Feanor should have not brought a sword to that meeting bc if he hadn't and had said what he said, Fingolfin would have thrown hands and they would have finally got all that shit out their system

The divine right of kings but it's a curse

You will wear the crown, you have no choice, the spikes growing on your head have a metal sheen to them and coalesce into a mock halo. You will command, for your voice is a terrible thing, you are a terrible thing. You will be just, and you will be fair, for any grievances you cause to your people scar your body and leave lasting pain and false promises sizzle on your tongue like hot oil. Your god is watching and it won't forget what your ancestor did and it won't let you go

AU where Nolo and Náro get evicted from their houses by their wives (post reembodiment) and have to room together for a thousand years.

That poor apartment is going to burn down I swear.

It’s going to be Elrond’s house because at least half of their respective sons visit/have a room there already

Elrond wakes up at three in the morning to Feanor knocking on the door

Feanor holding a pillow in one hand and a toothbrush in the other, still wearing the grey seamless robes of return: “Nerdanel says she doesn’t want to look upon my face for at least a century; May I room here?”

Elrond: “Your room is across the hall from your sons’ rooms.”

He lets him inside and closes the door

He hears more knocking

Nolofinwë: “My wife kicked me out.”

This is the beginning of Peredhel Family Practice. He specializes in family therapy, but he is experienced in couple's and single as well.

Elrond already has a ‘don’t kill/inflict bodily harm’ rule in place after a particularly intense luncheon incident some years before involving both sets of parents(Elwing trying to stab Maglor with a fork was only the beginning)

I must know, do Elwing, Eärendil, and Maglor get along at all? I headcanon that, Eärendil and Maglor at least, could very easily become friends, and Elwing (assuming Valinor figured out how trauma worked and how to fix it) got better and at least learned to tolerate him. Having her parents and brothers around would probably help with that, too.

Things certainly got less stabby after the first incident Elrond sat them all down and scolded them like elflings and they’re more or less civil with each other now

(Elrond being disappointed with you is bad enough but Elrond disappointed and mad? The guilt will eat at you until you apologize)

Celebrian still hosts tea parties and no one tries anything even if Elrond is not there

Not the judgemental eyebrows!!!

I headcannon that Elrond got his glare from Maedhros (who got it from Feanor)

Maedhros is very proud of how well he can corral people

I guarantee then that it works on all the other Sons (and probably Celebrimbor), who end up with War Flashbacks.

House of Finwë naming their kids:

Feanor: I swear on my life-

Fingolfin: I've seen your life. Swear on something else.

Feanor: I swear on my sons' lives-

in the silmarillion, the existence of the prince by machiavelli would most likely translate to a compiled, expunged, and revised codex of the letters that maedhros and fingolfin sent to each other during the siege of angband.

They both think the other one is the baby prince who needs instructions on the basics.

if you could send one (1) elf who died in the First Age to Rivendell shortly before the War of the Ring, who would you choose?

Getting advice from your dad/uncles

Lil’ Maitimo: Is stabbing someone immoral?

Fëanaro : Not if they deserve it.

Nolofinwë: Depends who you’re stabbing.

Arafinwë: YES?!?

Me and @nelyoslegalteam were talking about Fëanor and Fingolfin’s dynamic and we came to a realization that makes us VERY feral -

they’re the same person and they both hate it.

Fëanor is afraid of being replaced by the children of Indis - but while he doesn’t really like any of his half-siblings, he doesn’t feud with any of the rest of them the way he feuds with Fingolfin. And yes, that’s because Fingolfin is active in asserting his own power and authority as a son of Finwë, and is perfectly willing to fight Fëanor over it - but also that’s exactly the point, because that’s exactly what Fëanor is like as well! Fingolfin feels like a threat to Fëanor in a way that none of their other siblings do, because only Fingolfin is similar enough to him to really seem like a replacement. Meanwhile Fingolfin is sick of being overshadowed by his older brother, who is everything he is but more, and sick of said older brother acting like Fingolfin is evil for daring to take a single step out of his shadow.

And neither of them can see the other one’s desperation.

They are SO aaaaaaaaaa

do we have any indication that finarfin was the family conflict mender? because his thing seems to be avoiding conflicts, not settling them: he trades tirion for alqualondë, he doesn't show up to the council of finwë - and after that, it's not him who reaches out to fingolfin, it's fingolfin who seeks him out. even during the Flight, his attempt to calm down the Noldor is futile and is only mentioned, without any real consequences. He doesn't confront Feanor directly after the Doom (at least it's not mentioned), and his return is his first proactive action, where he chooses something that conflicts directly with both of his brothers and it bears real consequences.

Besides, if Shibboleth implies Finarfin is the youngest child of Finwe, it doesn't really make sense for him to be the conflict mender (why would anyone listen to a kid?), but it does make sense if he's the one who's let out from the conflict, the one who chooses to step back (alqualondë!!!) and the one who disappears from the narrative (araman!!!)

(not to say that he can't be both conflict mender and conflict avoider; but he seems like the one who avoids confrontations first and tries to settle them whenever he's not given a choice)

@i-did-not-mean-to commissioned me to draw Feanor being sad about people saying mean things about him on the internet, with an optional Nolo trying to comfort him. Now, Nolo is smart enough to not try to get to close to angy Feanor, so he tries talking him out of it instead. It works Extras:

And to IDNMT: Thank you so much for your support and kindness, not only for me, but for so many other people. You are amazing.

do you ever think about fingolfin's body being perserved by an eagle and fingon's body being beaten into mush and the fact that in the first case turgon was hundreds of miles away and in the second he was right there or are you normal

pov: ur in finarfin's head
