thinking about finarfin time loop/generally how elves might percieve a time loop fic possibility again

#I don't talk about this one because it's really hard to do a good time loop with a character as generally undefined as he is #but I think elvish time loops would be interesting bc canonically they experience time differently? #so it's like. would they just loop over until some event happens that they can't stop. #and because the ages of the world are somewhat predefined? maybe that's a set point #a loop for a decade versus a day and you'll never know if you got through #and yet so much can happen in a day #it would be more of an investigation of how paradoxically fast and slow time is experienced #and Finarfin in particular because you're putting a side character into a position centred around him somehow #but also where he feels there's little he can do #put him through the horrors more etc. #what would all that cumulative experience do to him. does he reawaken and the feanturi just feel it #does vaire try to keep track of how tangled the threads of time are #anyway the whole “you do something so big and bold and brash and it changes nothing in the end” thing is perfect for him #that's what he feels like every day #finarfin #tolkien
