#Anyway! I just think Nerdanel should be viciously violently angry with basically everyone for at LEAST a century but likely longer

When you idly think about Celegorm possibly being most like Nerdanel of all the sons of Feanor, and then you start thinking about Nerdanel getting a post-Darkening moral decay arc all of her own to mirror her son(s)'s.

#Like. My central celegorm thesis is that he becomes what he becomes because he has a specific moral/social worldview
#that is actually heavily based on 1) common cultural understanding of said worldview and 2) direct positive intervention from the valar
#like he is an acolyte of a specific god and that goes with specific rights and responsibilities for everyone involved
#and once the noldor arrive in beleriand that specific framework *collapses*
#because the valar can't be fucked and the amanyar don't have the same religious&cultural expectations
#so he upholds his end of the bargain as long as he can (both emotionally and materially)
#but when it all collapses (structural damage from what happened to ardehel
#and then complete collapse from the bragollach) he breaks HARD
#and I think there's space for something similar with Nerdanel
#who was likely raised in fairly close contact with aule and who stays faithful to the valar as feanor starts to go off the rails
#who makes all the 'right' choices! and her reward is the obliteration of her family
#and quite likely at least some degree of social ostracization for her association with her husband and children
#not sure what her final straw would be though
#...possibly it could be celebrimbor's capture and death actually. hm.
