The Myth of Consensual Russingon

Fingon: I consent.

Maedhros: I consent.

Fëanor, holding a torch: ISN’T THERE SOMEBODY YOU FORGOT TO ASK!?

Also the fact that this is how the Valar reacted to Finwë's death:

As much as I want to give Feanor shit for being such a pos to the Valar it really is understandable because it really does feel like you're being targeted specifically when there's only ever been two recorded deaths in the Undying Lands and both of them are your parents. Like at that point it would seem like the universe was out to get him

oil pastel Miriel and Feanarito for #fuckitup Friday by @shrikeseams

I've been looking at the works of Taro Okamoto recently and I really like his bold colors and strong movement. Do I think my work specifically was a good study of Okamoto's? No. But looking at his art did help me make this piece less grounded than I usually would, which is nice.

Can’t believe I did this…but here’s a family fluff comic, about Feanor, Nerdanel and their seven sons

[kitty--white]

Findis: Check it out, Naro! I covered my face with glitter!

Feanor: ...is that permanent?

Findis: Of course, I value my time.

Melkor: He’s just resting

Fëanor: In pieces! That man is dead!

Melkor: So sleepy…

Reasons why reading "Till we have faces" makes you frustrated with the Silm: part 1

The Silm does have a characters with assigned ugly personality. Characters that get seen by one of the author's fave, awesome, blonde women and "she saw the darkness in his eyes"-ed and rejected. Forever rejected. Because she saw in him what he'll become.

Yea, Tolkien was not a Calvinist but alas, I daresay he was pretty bad at not-being-a-Calvinist sometimes.

A Fin golfing. Or something. Idk. I didn't read the Silmarillion

A small animation of Feanor, inspired by @antlered-vixen's heart-wrenchingly beautiful Feanor/Fingolfin fic "Light Splintered and Sewn"! Only a few more chapters to go! (Made using FlipaClip.)

Feanor gathers his sons

Feanor: Son, wanna help me commit arson? Caranthir, quietly: Adar, this is a library! Feanor: Oh, sorry, my bad. Feanor, whispering: Wanna help me commit arson? Caranthir, whispering: Of course. What do you need?

[kisses-in-the-void]

Feanor, stands before the Valar in the Ring of Doom, about to answer Manwe’s question: With all due respect…

Everyone nods approvingly, speaking through osanwe: At least he seems to be behaving well today.

Feanor, continuing : …which is none.

The most unrealistic part of the Silmarillion is the part where Feanor, master craftsman and creative person(tm), finishes a project and is 100% happy with it and thinks it's perfect.

I took my Fëanor cosplay to a con (and even got recognized!)

It is a direct 1:1 fix-it-fic. It uses the cosmos and myths laid out in The Silmarillion in a broad sense, but it also includes hyper-specific details like the world lamps being broken, the rising of the sun for the first time keeping Morgoth and his hosts at bay, the differences between elves (those who have been to valinor and those that have not) and so so so much more. The book could not and would not exist without The Silmarillion. But most specifically it uses the Oath of Feanor and the fallout from the oath, as it's main plot device. There is no Bone Harp without Feanor's Sons. AND THE BONE HARP FUCKING RULES. I am sure a bunch of really annoying old white dudes would rage and gnash their teeth if they ever read it, but honestly? The Bone Harp fucking rocked. It was such a kind, deep and gorgeous exploration of what redemption COULD look like for peoples who committed atrocities on a world-wide scale. Like full stop Tamsin/Maglor was a BAD guy. Guilty of slaying his own kith and kin and then participating in horrific acts of war. Both in the Bone Harp and the Silmarillion. Goddard asks a very complicated question here: "How long do the leaders of a revolutionary group who end up murdering a bunch of people need to suffer in hell to be allowed into heaven, and how much pain does it take to wash away the sin of murdering your own family and peoples"... TL;DR: The book is a 1:1 fix-it-fic using the cosmology, politics, world building, story points from the Silmarillion and uses even more specifics from the stories of the sons of Feanor, specifically the character Maglor, to explore the concept of redemption. And It is fucking gorgeous, and I loved it deeply.

I need someone obsessed with the Sons of Feanor to read The Bone Harp and tell me how they feel about it.

I mean, I'm enjoying it immensely, it's Victoria Goddard, but it sure is Son of Feanor coded. Even to me, a person who is only vaguely aware of the Sons of Feanor and their whole. Deal.
