Feanorian fall from grace

What if the Valar favoured the feanorians? Wouldn't that make the Darkening and all the Kinslaying even more tragic?

I say yes, so let's dive into it.

So obviously, we start with the easiest Feanorians.

Feanor, Curufin, Nerdanel (yes I'm counting her in, no I will not be answering questions as to why) and Celebrimbor (yes, he also counts, yes he is the cinnamon roll of the family, no that does not make him any less of a chaos agent and mischief maker).

So they, of course, were favoured by Aule. Don't ask me, why (it should be obvious), when nor in what way.

Maybe he guided their hands when they worked, helping them along. I don't know. I'm a writer, and I honestly can't say what smiths, jewelry makers nor sculptors do (that's a lie, it's literaly my thing to say/write something in a way people think I know what I'm doing.)

Second - Maedhros or then Maitimo Nelyafinwe (yes, I'm puting his mother name first, no I will not explain myself). I feel like he would be favoured by Nienna, or Manwe, or both of them. It's a hunch. Nothing more. I just like it. Also maybe, a strong maybe, Este. Because Maitimo is the healer and peace maker of the family. He cares for others and their well being.

Celegrom and Ambarussua are favoured by Orome. They hunt, they love to do it, they care about nature and the hunt and nature cares and loves them. That's the story. Orome is pulled in by the fire of Feanorions and it stays like this (even the kinslaying couldn't fully break the connection)

Caranthir. I headcannon thet he sewed, like Miriel. And thus, Vaire. They are cool with each other. And both like history. I have no idea what is really happening and I'm okey with that. For more detailes go to them. I, however, take no responsibility about what you may find there. (a tea party, and cookies)

And finally Maglor. Here I had a problem bc I had so many ideas and at the same time, none. So heres a list of Valar whom I considered and a little bit of why:

Ulmo - for rather obvious reasons, like you know, wandering the shores, singing to the sea and all that.

Irmo - I know, I know, not something you might expect but.. who is Maglor if not a dreamer at heart? All articians are.. And Maglor can wave his dreams into reality of others minds with his song. So Irmo it is.

Varda - and, here even I paused. Because I have absolutely no idea where it came from. And then I started to consider it and here we are. I think Maglor loves the stars, and Varda likes his voice so here we are, once again. (I will not be answering questions on this one.)

Nessa - I have absolutely no idea. It just feels right and so it shall have a place on this list.

So.. yeah. I know Feanorians and Valar usually don't mix, but the fall from grace would be.. great (not great great but Great). I will maybe write a follow up blog on this about said fall from grace. I might not. I don't know, we will see if motivation strikes me anytime soon.

do you think the reason why mike and will have no concept of personal space even as they grow older is bc mike knows he was the last person will saw before getting kidnapped and so when they reunited they made a silent vow a mutual understanding to stick by each other in case one of them goes missing again? they will always be within arm's reach so that they may not be alone when if something happe-[GUNSHOTS]

#do you think abt how when the byers moved away #both mike and will are constantly looking to their sides not remembering the other isn't with them #it's a painful reminder that they've lost each other #at least for a time #and when they made up it was immediately being back to each other's sides #further intensified bc they almost died together in the shootout #jesus CHRIST im going to commit arson #byler #mike wheeler #will byers

I had finished The Goblin Emperor today and thought I could just pick up an ya book with tissue-thin characters right after that. how naive of me.

#nothing important #I've read 90 pages of the ya book and can't move further #I am now ruined #at least for a time #the goblin emperor #alsothe names are somewhat hard to wrap your head around at first but I really do recommend the audiobook. I loved that guy's narration #and voices #it was just the right balance - the voices were different enough to easily recognize who's speaking; there was great emotion in appropriate #paragraphs and on top of all that the narrator did Not ride the loudness scale like a vicious rodeo bull #which is something I find very frustrating in some other audiobooks where I either strain to hear or wince in pain every 10mins

Me: *shares some troubles with mental health and if father would be able to pay for two visits to therapist per week*

Father: *silence*

*****

Me: *throws some stupid meme about America*

Father: HELLOTHEREMYDEARCHILDREN--

#not that I'm upset- #ok yeah I am upset but I'm not surprised lol #I love my dad but lmao the way how masterfully he's able to ignore me when I'm not useful or I have problems #that's um #that's the new level tbh #he could just say that nope btw #like it's not a demand if you're not able then ok I'll pay myself #yeag I think I need more therapist sessions to understand if I'm overdramatic or am I really falling into depression #but dad I can pay for it by myself if you can't #at least for a time #I realy hate when people ignore me #sometimes I read someone's messages and don't respond immediately #but then I still find some way to respond to them when I feel ok #for except times when I DON'T want to talk to that person #anyway just ranting ahahahaa #I'm depressed but not imressed )9

John sounded very dissociative in therapy: very distant and wonderfully, inappropriately flippant when it came to verbally expressing. I loved that acting choice.

#also #sometimes anger is the only emotion you feel comfortable expressing #spnwin #spnwin spoilers #also noticed that Millie said aloud how the two of them don’t express their emotions #so I’m guessing she really struggled after Henry left #did she shut down emotionally? it seemed implied #at least for a time #I don’t buy into frigid mom theories #but I did find it interesting

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

#like im not gonna name names but i can think of at least 3 channels #where they stopped posting short form content and went #wait the patreon is paying my rent im no longer a slave to the algorithm gods #HELL YEAH TIME TO SPEND 5+ MONTHS PUTTING TOGETHER A 3+ HOUR VIDEO #and i eat that shit up every time

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

#rambles #if you are a person who is into delicate skills #like lacemaking or printing or sewing #you will know fair well just how non expansive the knowledge online is in comparison to written guides from like the 50s #there was a time where at least one person in the household had to know a constructive skill #but in the modern day there is just less ans less demands for comprehensive guides #library propaganda #im stuck doing an essay rn but bc i have covid i cant go to the library and its totally fucked me #i want to source a lot of the stuff i read irl but i just cant go and get it and theres no online ver

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

#i have to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night to even barely function #with sleep #getting ready for work #commute #cooking #and errands #I typically have maybe 2-3 hours to actually do what i want in a day #and I'm usually too tired to actually do the things i want to do #and that's with a very short commute #if i actually had a long commute I'd basically do nothing but work #i see my friends like once every few weeks or months #because we're all so fucking busy with work and have such little time for socialising #and none of us even have kids or anything!!

Because i feel like i might be overestimating what the average is, i shall Conduct Research

This isn't about how many languages you speak, but how many youre able to count up to at least 10 in, since basic numbers are some of the first words you learn in a foreign language and sometimes you catch them without having studied the language at all

#shut up dave #cause like. i got 7 i think? #which isnt much ofc but i would assume its probably slightly above average #MY HYPOTHESIS. is that the average person on earth. can count up to 10 in at least 3 languages #hypothesis which i reached after a lot of narrowing down. so i have a feeling its correct this time

I'm sentimental about them. & about camcorders. [twt + insta + ptrn on bio]

#mati draws #petrigrof #betty grof #simon petrikov #adventure time #do NOT tag as f&c im begging you #at fanart #anyways i always imagined they met as students at around 24 #and ended up moving in together etc at like 28 #with everything going to shreds with them at like 35? #so simon wouldve been ice king'd all alone for at least like a decade #because im horrible like that
