Finwe and Miriel

Míriel, mother of Fëanor

[thesummerestsolstice]

So I think one thing that really drives Feanor is his grief– he looses Miriel, and he very clearly never recovers from that. There's the pain of loosing a parent and the added layer of Miriel's death being, on some level, a choice to leave Feanor. You can't tell me he didn't internalize the idea that he wasn't good enough for his mother to stay ay least a little. And I can't help but imagine that most of Valinor really wasn't helpful. There was probably a lot of vague sympathy with no real understanding of the situation, people who in theory thought Feanor had the right to grieve but reacted pretty badly to any actual displays of grief, and some people who insisted that Miriel chose to stay dead, Finwe and Indis were happily married, and therefore, Feanor shouldn't feel sad about it anymore. Even for those with more understanding of grief, it's still a really complicated situation. But you know who would understand Feanor?

Elrond. And the reason is Elros and Arwen– Elrond knows what it's like when someone you love dearly chooses to leave you, essentially forever, not because they don't care about you or because you weren't good enough, but because they have to make the best choice for themselves. And how you can respect that choice, and be glad that they did what they needed to, but still grieve them and the relationship you had with them. He understands those complicated feelings and how to process them in a healthy and non-destructive way.

And I'm losing my mind over this because Feanor is the one who starts the kinslayings and the cycle of violence between elves, and Elrond is the end result of all that violence; born to two refugees and raised largely by Feanor's sons. But despite all that, he's good and kind and able to focus on healing instead of pain. He ends the violence and makes a sanctuary where everyone is welcome. And he's able to do what Feanor never could, and not be consumed by his pain. And that means so much.

Got fully obsessed with Elden Ring last year, and made a series of mockups of a strange world where it came out in 2001 for the game boy color. Maybe a better world??? Here's all of the fuckers for ya anyway

Laurent, who chose to be like his mother in every way but one Conclusive evidence

These pages were originally for @fetranshub's FE trans week in 2020. They can be taken independently, if you would like to interpret Laurent in the second page differently from the first.

Several people over the years have also told me these are some of my most memorable comics, which makes me glad.

adolescent feanor bleaching his hair to make it look like miriel's. is this anything

[in-the-glow-of-a-silmaril]

Do y'all think Maedhros at some point realized that the age gap between him and his father was smaller than the age gap between him and Curufin? Do you think, beating at the edges of his mind, the thought ever came that he was hundreds upon hundreds of years older than his father ever lived to be? If so, we know he never faced that thought fully. An elf who throws himself into a volcano clutching his father's goal even as it sears his flesh cannot be said to have critically reevaluated his father's wisdom. What a bitter end, that an elf with so much experience, who had seen so much, would repeat his father's mistakes with eyes wide open rather then relinquish a shred of that legacy. There is something there that parallels Feanor zealously safeguarding Miriel's legacy. This is not a family that knows how to let go.

Anyone ever just want to get really into embroidery or am I supposed to ignore the little Miriel in my head saying I need to get into textile working?
