   “just as damaging as neglect in hindsight” ah, my kink. wait maybe
that’s poor word choice in this instance. ah, my sense of humor    

YES

I’m a huge fan of ‘x trait only works in the right story and you’re in the wrong one sorry bruh you’re SOL’ tbh

   “extremely communicative in both telling Maedhros and Maglor
everything
he is doing (except when making them surprise presents etc) and
soliciting their thoughts and feelings on everything they are doing”
also this is great, i love feanor who thinks explaining things is boring
unless it’s for his KIDS when it’s the MOST FUN CHALLENG EVER    

I am REALLY into Feanor being very interested in kids! Not necessarily good with them from the perspective of people other than him, but very attentive to them and very patient – at least in the sense of ‘I’M not bored of talking to them!’ And for his kids of course everything is a different ballgame than any other beings around. I am…not super sold on good-dad-Feanor in terms of ‘this is a good way to raise children’, but I’m very invested in good-dad-Feanor in terms of ‘i think this idea is awesome for some ridiculous reason so i’m going to do it with my kids’

   Aww man just fuck me up. I was coming up with questions to expand on
this but tbh I’d just be asking you to write the fanfic, anyway this is
good shit 

   No i cant help myself, how does his parenting style mesh with nerdanel’s? 

Uh, okay like………real talk, I am not a big fan of stereotypical media Daddy Issues in the sense of the Colbert ‘a distant authority figure who can never be pleased,’ in large part because of massive overexposure, so I like to see it as kinda…Nerdanel is the reliable head of the household who gives the kids Talks and “imagine how you’d feel if”’s about how decency involves understanding and working with a socially agreed upon idea of how to behave in a community, which go beyond ‘these are my rights’ and ‘my idea is correct so it’s the one that should happen.’ Feanor is the idolizable “*I* love you so much and you made *us* so proud and exercised *your* potential to the fullest” one who reassures and instills within them the idea of how awesome and important they and their whole family and their role is. Like, family-and-family-member-focused and family-approval-based versus member-of-society-focused and principle-based. Which overlap fine for a long time, because timeless paradise. But then……..

   Vantablack hair    

U GOT IT

   No but really, yes, I also love the multiple mentions to her shadows
– there was some good meta somewhere that i’ll look for that looked at
the wording of when she puts melkor to sleep, which is also irrc
described as a shadow of her own    

YES and thank you for the message with the passage, I’m going to quote it:

“‘Sleep, O unhappy, tortured thrall!
Thou woebegotten, fail and fall
down, down from anguish, hatred, pain,
from lust, from hunger, bond and chain,
to that oblivion, dark and deep,
the well, the lightless pit of sleep!
For one brief hour escape the net,
the dreadful doom of life forget!’”

Also I had this passage in mind but didn’t want to quote it because it was too cluttered looking:

“when all the Earth had peace and the glory of Valinor
was at its noon, there came into the world Lúthien, the only child of
Thingol and Melian. Though Middle-earth lay for the most part in the Sleep of
Yavanna, in Beleriand under the power of Melian there was life and joy, and the
bright stars shone as silver fires; and there in the forest of Neldoreth Lúthien
was born, and the white flowers of niphredil came forth to greet
her as stars from the earth.“

   Came here for the vantablack hair comment but I see I was too late    

Someone write the AU where Luthien is sued by Anish Kapoor instead of running into C&C

yavieriel replied to your post:                   uuuuh, Luthien + Hair for that hc thing                

   Honestly I agree with this so much that for years I’ve been
unreasonably annoyed when someone gives Elrond hair that’s just dark
brown and ordinary elves in the same fic have black hair and I’m just
???nO???? Excuse you Elrond has the fabled vantablack hair of Luthien
accept no substitutes    

VANTABLACK PEREDHEL. Um…………….regarding all those ‘dark brown’ descriptions, i don’t mind it at all tbh, but that reminds me, how do I say this. Have you ever dabbled in, like, the really really bad LOTR fic, the ones I spent maybe three evenings browsing through about a year ago before noping away from them in amused bafflement? By which I mean. Erestor, the ’exotic’ ‘ethereally beautiful’, with super-black hair? Like, those are some weird seemingly-obvious character description mix-ups, man.

   NO THIS ANON KNOWS WHAT’S UP. elros’s magnificent anime sideburns. does that mean ar-pharazon had muttonchops    

Everyone knows that muttonchops are a sign of being the superior race, ppl with beards are inferior and beardless ppl are those awful elves who are laughing at us for dying.
