Feanorians as cats

(Here you go, feanorians as kittens. This has all the feanorians, so it might be a bit long. I hope you like it)

Requested by anonymous

Warnings;None really.

-------------------------------------------------------

You have faced many strange situations during your lifetime, but nothing was even weirder than that one time when your feanorian got turned into a cat.

Maedhros

-You minded your business, waiting for Maedhros to return from his travels.

-You never expected Fingon to stroll in with a big red cat in his arms.

-You were confused as a rabbit, especially when the cat looked like your beloved feanorian.

-Fingon explained that the cat was Maedhros, and he needed you to watch him until Fingon and others figured out a way to break the enchantment.

-You didn't believe him at first until the cat proved otherwise.

-The red cat was missing its right paw and had a look that made your fea scream that this cat was indeed your beloved Maedhros.

-You agreed to watch him until Fingon and others figured out how to turn Maedhros back.

-Mae was distressed to be a cat. He couldn't do anything except meow sadly and unhappily.

-He was more expressive, so you managed to understand what he meant to say.

-You took care of some of his duties and handed the rest to Maglor, who was willing to help.

-It was to ease Mae's distress and that he didn't need to worry about his responsibilities as the lord of Himring.

-You took the chance to coerce him to rest and relax for a while since he couldn't do much like a cat.

-He was hard to convince, but he dozed off when you made him take a nap with you.

-He looked so adorable and peaceful. His fur was also so soft that you couldn't help but let your fingers run through it.

-His purring was deep and filled with content. You can't bring yourself to wake him up and coo how adorable he was.

-Maedhros never relaxed as an elf, so you were adamant about helping him relax like a cat.

-Fingon might have walked in a couple of times when you were snuggling with purring Mae. He would smile and almost squeal how adorable it was.

-You respected his pace and made sure he didn't feel distressed in his current state, but you couldn't help but tease him a little with cat toys.

-Maedhros would look at you with the most disappointing cat face ever as you held the toy above him.

-After several days, the spell wore off, and Maedhros was finally back to normal. He would be thankful and apologize that you had to care for him.

-He then tried to live on like the whole ordeal never happened but unknown to him. He silently purrs in his sleep when you stroke his hair. It was adorable, so you never told him. It was your little secret.

Maglor

-Maglor had been missing for a long time now, and you were worried sick for him.

-No one knows what happened. One moment Maglor was with his guards, then he was gone.

-You tried to look for him, and you looked everywhere, but to no avail. You became distressed when even Maedhros and his other brothers couldn't locate him.

-Worst-case scenarios constantly played inside your mind, and a strange black cat has been following you around.

-You're not sure where the cat came from or why it was following you, but it had been there for your comfort whenever you felt distressed over Maglor's disappearance.

-You petted the cat sometimes and gave it some food, thinking it was a stray.

-The cat showed much more intelligence than an animal should. You slowly got suspicious.

-The cat's fur was darker than night, just like Maglor's hair, and those silver-grey eyes were very familiar.

-You didn't believe it at first but after a yes or no game with the cat. You came to the conclusion that this furry friend was your Maglor.

-It was a dead giveaway when you called the cat Maglor, and it meowed excitedly.

-You would seek Maedhros's help, walking awkwardly inside with Maglor in your arms and explaining the situation.

-Maedhros couldn't believe it either, but after some testing to prove the cat was Maglor. He told you to look after Maglor until they could figure out what happened.

-You didn't mind doing it, so you took your furry elf into your care.

-Maglor was pretty calm about his predicament and enjoyed taking naps around you.

-He followed you around whenever you needed to go out, not eager to be left alone.

-You think it's cute, and you enjoy cuddling with his tiny body.

-Maglor would feel embarrassed, but still, let you cuddle him like an infant since it made you happy.

-He might have picked a habit of grooming you since he sometimes licked your face and groomed your hair. He might had not noticed, but you couldn't bring yourself to embarrass him since he puked a hairball once.

-Whatever spell was upon him. It finally wore off, and you woke up with a naked elf in your bed.

-Maglor would feel flustered and apologize for bringing you trouble. He encountered a creature who laid the spell on him and thus was turned into a cat.

-You didn't mind, and you were just happy to have him back, but you might have taken advantage of calling him a kitten sometimes.

Celegorm

-You were most likely there when it happened. You two were adventuring around until you encountered an elderly lady on the road.

-It wasn't anything strange at first until Celegorm made a rude remark about the lady's appearance, which greatly angered her.

-The lady was a wicked witch and laid a curse upon him.

-You were frightened by the ordeal and managed to escape with Celegorm before she got you as well.

-You managed to escape the lady, and after nothing happened during the day, you two considered it was just a moment of mental tricks.

-You did scold the blond hunter for creating such trouble.

-That's what you thought, at least. The next day, Celegorm vanished and in his place was a strange white cat that shared some similarities with him.

-It wouldn't take long for you to connect the dots since Celegorm pretty much told you he was the white cat. You understood the language of animals, so you spoke directly with him.

-The situation was strange, but you knew who started it, so you set out to find the witch.

-Celegorm would quickly adapt to being a cat.

-He would travel on your shoulders when you rode the horse and even hunted as a cat.

-It saved you money from feeding him since he ate everything he caught. He even brought you a couple of rats as a joke.

-He likes to test his luck in hunting as a cat. He can easily manage catching rats and smaller animals. He can easily take down rabbits and foxes bigger than him, and he likes climbing the trees and catching some birds.

-Only time you had to interfere were the times when he wanted to test his luck with a bear and a wolf.

-Since you understood him even as a cat, he was your equivalent of an annoying talking parrot.

-He wouldn't shut up and talked a lot of shit about passing people. He would enjoy it because no one would understand him.

-You were persistent in hunting the witch down. When you finally found her, you tried to apologize and have her turn your elf back to normal. Unlike Celegorm, you were more peaceful around disputes and people.

-You almost managed to convince her. Until Celegorm once again said something rude which angered the witch, and a fight broke out.

-The fight would be quick since you were an experienced fighter, and Celegorm joined in, using his claws and teeth to cause severe injuries.

-You might be a pacifist by heart, but you were not afraid to raise your blade when you had to.

-You forced the witch to reverse the curse, and the curse finally dissipated, and Celegorm was back to normal, naked, but normal.

-He wouldn't have been fazed by the ordeal but added purring as teasing when it came to being intimate with you, and you hate it.

Caranthir

-You were waiting for caranthir to show up for your planned date, but he never came, for some reason.

-You figured he might have some urgent business, so you didn't pursue him at first, changing your plans for another date. However, when the days passed, you noticed his lack of appearance.

-He wasn't anywhere to be found. Even his close advisors didn't know where he had vanished.

-Concerned, you went to his brothers and asked if they had seen him.

-They didn't know either. Caranthir had suddenly gone missing one day, and even Celegorm couldn't locate him.

-Worried, you tried to help out with searching, but no signs or clues were found of your beloved elf.

-You did find a cat.

-It had a grumpy look on its face and avoided you at first. You didn't think much of it until you saw the cat more often around your vicinity.

-It followed you around and watched you from the distance.

-It was confusing, but when it happened much often and one time heard it growl in anger when someone caused you trouble. You finally decided to befriend it since it was so adamant about following you around.

-You managed to earn its trust rather quickly. It didn't allow you to pet it at first but accepted the food you offered because it was malnourished.

-You took a quick look to see that it was a black male cat. It had a familiar grumpy expression, so you gave him a nickname, Cara.

-He started enjoying taking naps on you and allowed you to pet him. His purring was deep and cute. Even though; he tried to suppress them.

-Funny thing was that he only allowed you to hold and pet him. He will hiss and snap at everyone else. He almost ripped off Celegorm's face when the blond elf got too close.

-You enjoyed Cara's company as it worked as a means of comfort to fill out your worry for Caranthir.

-You would sometimes talk fondly about your beloved, describing how special he was and how much you loved him. You sounded like a love-sick puppy.

-Unknown to you, Cara was flustered and whisking his tail uncontrollably.

-He couldn't take it anymore, and in a big poof, your Caranthir was on top of you.

-You would stare at him confused while he looked down on you with a flustered face and apologized when he realized he was butt naked.

-Caranthir revealed something that happened during his travel and caused him to turn into a cat. he couldn't bear the embarrassment of facing you in such a state, so he avoided you and everyone else for several days.

-You would be understanding of his situation but gave him a scolding for vanishing without a warning. You thought that something worse happened to him.

-You agreed to keep it a secret from his brothers because Caranthir wanted the whole ordeal forgotten, but you sometimes can't help but tease him a little for being a cat.

Curufin

-I once said that I don't do people, who are married, so this will be on the platonic level.

-No one knows what happened, but Curufin ad a cat is a total nightmare.

-Celegorm pulled you in to care for his brother, and you did not enjoy it at all.

-Curufin was prideful and mean. He would sometimes hiss at you and was super picky about what he ate.

-He refused to eat any cat food or catch some mice. He would only eat fresh salmon or meat.

-It would be a bit of a wild ride, but luckily you managed to be on Curufin's good side, so he wasn't a total asshole with you.

-Celegorm would tase and try to make Curufin play with toys.

-It would piss him off, and try to use his claws on Celegorm.

-You were afraid of him as a cat, so you always asked permission before doing anything that might piss him off.

-Even as a cat, he demands to be treated like a prince.

-Luckily, Finrod was talented enough in sorcery and managed to turn Curufin back when you pleaded for him.

-Curufin would demand that no one will speak of the whole thing and furiously scold Celegorm for all the dumb things he did.

-He would politely thank you for the assistance and not being a total idiot like his brother.

-You were just happy that it was finally over. You rather handle him as a jackass elf than a jackass cat.

Ambarussa

-I'm gonna make this with both of them, so it won't be too long. It will be up to you if it's romantic or platonic.

-You were not sure what happened, but after Maedhros asked you to meet him. He held two identical red cats, and then he asked you to look after them.

-The twins had an accident with some unknown force, so you needed to look after them until the spell was broken or worn off.

-You were confused but took the cats, not believing they were the twins you knew.

-Amrod and Amras took the whole thing rather calmly and explored being cats.

-You thought you were going to have it easy, but these two were mischievous as cats as elves.

-They would cause some mess and prank people by scaring them. They would also play the game of chase, where you look for the other one while the captured one would run off again, and the loop continued.

-Luckily, they were not picky eaters and eased their boredom by catching some mice. They even brought you a couple of dead mice and pretended to be offended when you threw their gracious gift away.

-You thought you could sleep peacefully since the twins could sleep in their room, but then you wake up with both of them on top of you.

-The other would be curled near you where it was warm, while the other would sleep on your face, blocking your airway.

-They reasoned that it was much warmer sleeping with you.

-Since their fur was long and they had a habit of getting themselves dirty. You had to clean and groom them from time to time.

-They pranked you once by getting immediately dirty after you cleaned them, but didn't do it often because cleaning them was exhausting to you.

-They started traveling with you by traveling on your shoulders as you walked. They weren't too heavy, so you didn't mind. People would stop and watch as you walked past with two cats on top of you.

-It was funny to watch, so you didn't mind their gaze until someone would come and shit talk to you. You couldn't do much, so you just took the bullying. Your bully would feel intimidated when the twins stare at them with a silent judging look.

-The twins weren't too troublesome, so you had it easy at the end.

-They enjoy taking naps on you after a long day, and their purring feels nice when you pet them.

-The twins would thank you after they turned back to normal and gave you a week-long vacation. You enjoyed your vacation because you were tired after watching over two troublesome elven cats for several days.

-Unknown to you, the twins took care of the bullies who caused you trouble during their absence.

-Things went back to normal, but the twins would sometimes tease you, acting like cats and perfectly mimicking purring. You hate it and like it at the same time.

The order in which elves are Returned from Mandos is not strictly based on punishment. Sure, those who caused particular trouble (the Feanorians) are detained until there's enough peace in Valinor that they won't immediately destabilize things. But after that it's based on how long they take to heal and repent.

Everyone is very surprised when Celegorm is the first of his brothers out. (He's a bit insulted - surely Maedhros would be more startling?)

First off, Celegorm is honestly not traumatized. Sure, he died in a battle after seeing his little brother killed. He speared Dior through the heart, and got his windpipe severed by Nimloth. Celegorm died gasping for air and choking on his own blood.

But he'd always expected to go like that. Not just since they reached Beleriand, or since they attacked Alqualonde for the ships, or since he saw his grandfather's body. He' s been certain he would die violently since the first hunt he went on with Orome. Celegorm hadn't been good enough yet to catch anything himself, but Orome had shot a lynx. It had screamed and staggered for a moment, trying to fight even with an arrow in it's eye, before it collapsed. Celegorm had looked at the lynx's coat spotted with blood, and wondered how much harder it would be for someone to get it out of his hair after his death. He was going to be a hunter, and kill his own food and live off the land, but the wild cat had been just the same. Celegorm would try for his whole life to outrun death's arrow, but he always knew his luck would end. He didn't want to die, and didn't want to lose, but he accepted it.

Secondly, Celegorm actually fairly willing to admit he was wrong. Not like, morally wrong, but he rarely considers things from a moral point of view anyway. The kinslaying at Alqualonde was apparently not necessary, as plenty of people with less wilderness experience than him successfully marched across the Helcaraxe to reach Middle Earth. He recognizes though that attacking Doriath didn't work, and that holding Luthien prisoner didn't work. He admits that possibly if he hadn't held Luthein prisoner, he wouldn't have needed to attack Doriath in the first place as someone could have figured out a diplomatic solution. He didn't think things through, and hurt people, some of whom he liked, and wants to avoid that happening again.

Lesson learned, right? Next time Celegorm sees one plan that looks impossible and one that involves killing people, he'll try the impossible one. Killing people just causes more problems in the long run, and impossible plans sometimes succeed.

So Celegorm regrets attacking Doriath and Alqualonde and kidnapping Luthien. If given the chance, he wouldn't do it again. He thinks it's totally justified for people to be angry at him for those things, just like he's angry at Morgoth for Finwe and Feanor's deaths.

Namo is grading on a bit of a curve, but he's willing to round that off to "repentant" in order to have one less Feanorian in his halls.

House of Feanor | Getting Into A Fight For Their S/O

Request: hi, your personal kdrama obsessed anon here: Can I request a HC reactions of the feanorians (bonus Finrod too please) of their s/o willing to attend to their wounds after they get into a fight with someone - 🌊anon

A/N: No Finrod since you asked for the House of Feanor. Finrod can be requested with his House next time or with random characters :)

Feanor

You would have to rush to get his sons and more guards to pull him off the poor offender before he finished them off.

Shouts of profanities and threats to end them the next time he saw them in public.

He’d be fighting his own sons to throw them off so he could dive back onto the person. You would have to stand before him and hold his face to redirect his attention to you.

Coos and whispers wouldn’t really calm him down immediately, his sons would have to remove him from the scene so you could attend to his injuries.

He’d be inching to break free and have at it again, but you weren’t letting him go so easily. He needed treatment.

“That bastard was lucky my sons pulled me off. I’d tear his face off the next time I see him.”

You would be rolling your eyes at his antics, only to apply ointment to the area injured to shut him up. “Would you just calm down?” “I'm completely calm!” he softly said.

Maedhros

Maedhros is a force to reckon with and when he’s seething mad and seeing red, I don’t know how anyone can get him off the person.

Not overly muscular and bulky, but he has strength and power which makes it nearly impossible to pull him off.

It would take Fingon and Celegorm to tug Maedhros off the poor offender and drag him off to a secluded area for you to assess him.

You’d be dancing before your lover in an attempt to get him to focus on you and not the crowd behind, but he was determined to finish what he started.

Silently brooding and mumbling under his breath while dancing his eyes to get a good look at the person, only for you to grip his face and yank it to meet yours.

“I think you should let me go – ouch!” you would ignore his complaints as you continued to clean him up, feeling his gaze locked on you.

The only way to get him to remain seated is to bribe him with kisses so his injuries would heal. Would definitely wrap an arm around your waist and nuzzle your stomach like an apologetic cat with some huffs.

Maglor

He’s perhaps the deadliest and scariest of all his siblings when he becomes angry.

He’d move so quick, that his siblings wouldn’t be able to snatch him until he landed on the offender.

Maglor would be easy to drag off, but his glare would make everyone shiver to their core as he stares at the perpetrator.

You would hum a familiar tune for Maglor to stop seeing red and focus his attention on you.

He would be ashamed that you had to see him in that manner and would remain quiet during the entire cleaning-up process.

“I’m sorry you had to see that; it wasn’t my – what was that for?” you’d give him a kiss on the cut to his upper lip to heal.

This would make him feel better but still guilty about his altercation.

Celegorm

I don’t know how you’re getting this hunk of an elf off someone he’s fighting but good luck to anyone that attempts to prevent it.

Celegorm is swinging at anyone who attempts to stop him. His hands are rated E for everyone and anyone.

But let’s say you do manage to drag him off, he cursing and shouting and wiggling to get out of his brother’s grasp. You probably have to knock him in his head for him to wake up.

He’s silent and brooding the entire time getting healed. Grumbling under his breath about going back after them to finish what was started. The only way to calm him would be to sweet-talk him.

“If you behave, I’ll give you some kisses and cuddles and more.” It works all the time. He expects you to mean your words though, otherwise, he’s finding that person.

Celegorm would pull you in and have his arms wrapped around you allowing you to baby him so more.

Caranthir

The one person who didn’t want for you to witness him in such disarray. He’s livid and has already cut through the crowd for the person.

It would take Celegorm and Maedhros to drag him off while you stood at the side observing his frenzied state.

You would have to step in to calm him because if you don’t, he’s ripping himself out of his brother’s arms.

Coos and soft touches to his face bring his focus in and avert his attention to his injuries. His knuckles would be bruised and bloodied from all the hitting.

Caranthir wouldn’t want you to spend your time cleaning him up because he was ashamed, but you didn’t let his reason stop you from taking care of him.

Hugs and kisses to his forehead would be given and you would drag him inside your home to blow some steam off.

Curufin

It would take a lot to make this Feanorian fistfight someone because he isn’t the physical violent type, more the manipulative type, but hey, he’s throwing hands in this headcanon.

Curufin is just as deadly as his brothers so Celegorm would be the safer of them to drag him off and put him in the time-out corner.

Disgruntled like his father and throwing around threats and insults at the person. He’d attempt to fight his way out of Celegorm’s grip, but it's Celegorm, so no escaping.

He’s going to be ultimately grumpy and would refuse to acknowledge your presence because someone was still seething and itching to throw hands. You’re going to have to grip his face and pull it to face you.

Might have to be a bit rough with him to gain his attention. “Ouch. That was awfully harsh – can’t you be a bit gentler? I just got hit to my face.”

It would take you a while to realize that Curufin was only attempting to defend your name, so being harsh on him was unnecessary. You’d sit on his lap and give him a few kisses to cool his steam.

Amrod

The more rambunctious of his twin who’s always looking out for both you and Amras would be the one to involve himself in greater altercations.

His older brothers would easily pull him off the perpetrator while he spewed the deadliest things past his lips. Typical Feanorian behaviour.

His twin would rush in first to calm his brother down before you stepped in to assess his injuries. Little scraps and cuts would be adorning Amrod’s hands and face since the person fought back.

Amrod would be hesitant to look you in the eye since this would give you the opportunity to assess his Feanorian temper you’ve always heard about.

“You’re such a hot-temper little ginger baby Amrod.” “Baby? I’m no baby.”

You’d tease him to lighten the atmosphere and tell him that he’s a baby because you now had to take care of him. He’d be pouty about it, so long as you comforted him with cuddles later.

Amras

Being the quieter of the twins, Amras's actions would go almost unnoticed when he strikes to action the offender.

Quick his brothers would be to drag him off the person even though he refuses to let them go.

Similar to Amrod, his twin would rush to calm him down before you join him to clean up any injuries and scold him.

He’d be grumbling and refuse to converse with you believing that your displeased state meant that he had no right defending you. To him, he felt as though it was necessary.

Throughout the clean-up, he’d shift his eyes over to peek at your expression and observe how concentrated you were on stitching him up. This would make him feel a bit sad since you ended up spending your time fixing him instead of enjoying yourself.

“I’m really sorry love, I just wanted to do something.” “I know Amras, and I love you.”

Celebrimbor

Anyone who attempted to insult the grandson of the elf who literally combusted into flames without a care in the world while cursing Morgoth is foolish.

He’s a hammer-swinging Feanorian who hates the fact that he has his family’s hastiness and anger and is bulky enough to knock you over with one gentle swing.

His guards would have to pry him over the offender as they insulted you for courting him. Celebrimbor didn’t care about the slurs they threw at him, all that mattered were the slurs thrown at you.

He does suffer a few bruises to the knuckles from how hard he threw his fist and the little scuffle him the offender had, but it’s not much.

Celebrimbor doesn’t wish to be around you because he’s embarrassed that you had to see him in what he considers, the worse state. Just find this big baby and give him some kisses while cleaning his wounds.

Lock the door and sit on him, that way, he doesn’t leave your embrace and you could get the job done. He’s quiet during the entire process and refuses to make eye contact but nuzzle his cheeks and pull him in for some cuddles and he’ll mellow out.

Because there was some interest for my Feanorians get blamed for the fall of Gondolin au, have some disjointed snippets from the fic that never was:

Falling stone and the clear chime of silver had Tuor jerking around to find Idril clambering over the rubble towards them. Her hair ornaments were tangled in her hair, ash from the Alley of Roses smeared across her face. Eärendil broke free from his nurse’s hands to cling fearfully to his mother leg. “What of your father?” Tuor asked, voice harsh from the smoke. “He knew the city would fall, and so he took his own life.” Idril’s gaze was blank, and Tuor realized with a grim pang that his wife had surely watched her father slide a blade into his own stomach. Turgon would rather die at his own hand than witness his shame and the fall of his city. And it had all come at the hands of one most dear to the king. Tuor glanced behind them, at the roof of Gar Ainion’s burning temple. He had flung Maeglin from its highest stepshinself, knowing the fall would finish what his sword had begun. The traitor’s body had tumbled down the unforgiving stone, black hair and blood, but Tuor had not seen the end as smoke billowed out between them. His hands had finally purged the filth from Turgon’s family, and its honor was restored. There was no more he could do, not here.

The messenger looked half-dead, and no doubt his mount looked equally worn, as he had ridden days and nights without rest to bring them news. That Gondolin… was destroyed. The room was silent after the messenger had made his grim report. The doors had been opened to let birdsong and the spring sun pour in, unsuitable accompaniment to the words of death. The silence was broken by a furious snort. “Fire follows where the Fëanorians go. Apparently no one is safe from their grasping hands, not even Turgon sequestered in his hidden city.” The firebrand that was Gwedhion of Mithrim was not one Fingon wished to have present for such reports, jumping to conclusions based solely on his own bias. “Be not so swift to lay this tragedy at the Fëanorians’ feet,” Fingon said wearily. “The brothers who would incite fire and bloodshed for any perceived slight are dead, fallen beside Dior.” “And you think Maedhros would not stoop to this?” Calaerchon said acidly. Fingolfin’s old war advisor tapped his closed fan against the floor. It was clear in his eyes that Fingon was not his father. “Do not defend him because of your shared blood.” Fingon’s lips thinned. It was an old argument. “I do not defend him. I simply think you leaping to conclusions is sufficient idiocy for today.”

Maedhros sat across from the boy, watching as he scarfed down a bowl of noodles like a starving cat. “…When was the last time you ate?” he asked bluntly. There was a furtive look to the boy’s eyes that told him enough. A beggar who stank of corpses and looked like he’d crawled out of a mass grave himself. The way he’d reacted when Curufin had pounced on him had spoken of someone with training—as an assassin or something else, Maedhros did not know. And he would take pleasure in tearing this little traitor apart and examining the pieces at his leisure. But first… A bath, Maedhros decided.

#the silmarillion #tuor #idril #maedhros #maeglin #fingon #maedhros x maeglin #maemae #my writing #my art #tolkien art #silm au #and yes #maeglin literally clawed his way out of a mass grave before eventually becoming a beggar in one of the elvish cities

🍁+✨ for Doriath?

(Unusual headcanons ask game)

✨ - Worldbuilding or background story elements.

It wasn't just Menegroth and trees! There were lots of scattered villages, trading posts, towns, arguably several semi-independent cities within the Girdle. Many of the ones in Neldoreth had massive population growth after the Bragollach as refugees from the north poured in, only to have a sudden population drop as Carcharoth rampaged through.

They were often minimally-defended, as marchwardens patrolled the borders, the main army was encamped in Menegroth, and the Girdle took care of everything that mattered (besides giant wolves) until it didn't.

The dwarven and Feanorian armies left none alive as they cut through Region. Neither wanted word of their approach reaching Menegroth until it was too late.

🍁 - Physical locations, flora & fauna.

Arthórien/Radhrim (the blob of forest between Rivers Aros and Celon), where many of Denethor's folk who joined Thingol's people after the First battle settled, had a real problem with invasive cats after Men settled in Estolad next door. Now I'm not saying that Amrod and Amras, technically the Lords of Estolad, stole Men's cats and ferried them across the river and pushed them towards the Girdle but no actually that's exactly what I'm saying.

Some blurbs about Silm headcanon and interpretations that I DON'T enjoy.

I mean, why bother talking about stuff I don't like? But here's some random hump day chit chat. These are just my preferences so I hope people can just fun-read this.

Feanorians forcefully taking the twins: Technically, they end up taking Elrond&Elros away from their people, but I personally don't enjoy the interpretation/characterization of murder bros cruelly/violently taking the kids. My personal interpretation is that Maedhros and Maglor didn't mean to take the kids, but by the time they were done in Sirion, everyone--including their remaining brothers--was dead and Elwing was gone with the Silmaril. So the brothers took the twins as a sort of selfish/twisted repentance. They remember what happened to Elured and Elurin back in Doriath, so maybe that played into their decision. Though their act in the end is as noble as someone running a mother cat over and adopting the kittens, I don't think the two brothers stooped so low as to actually rip away the children from their mother or use them as bargaining chips.

Elwing vs. Feanorians/good vs. evil trope: I don't really find pure, innocent Elwing against evil Feanorians trope that interesting personally. I also don't enjoy Elwing the tragic holy mother characterization. While I don't think she's "bad" for "choosing Silmaril over her kids," I don't think she's a kind of loving, tragic mother either. I always enjoyed portrayals of "less than perfect" moms Tolkien's texts. Elwing loved her kids, but her husband likely mattered to her more. She likes having a family with him, but if she had to choose between being with her husband or her kids, she would probably choose the former. She chooses to stay with her husband after Ulmo turns her into a bird, and Earendil basically chooses Elven fate over Men's fate for her sake. I think for Elwing, who had a pretty depressing life, Earendil was her hope and light, and nobody could take his role, even her own sons. Anyway, I really enjoy seeing women who are not "my kids are my everything" once in a while. As an extension of this, I don't enjoy Elwing bickering with Feanorians and all that drama either.

Maglor being an innocent victim in the final act: I don't think Maglor was an unwilling victim/participant when he and Maedhros went to steal the Silmarils nor was he ever a victim in any of the kinslayings. He probably didn't enjoy any of it, but he knew he couldn't escape the Oath alone so he decided to just face it. He knew what was coming, but he didn't want to leave his brother alone or betray him. So he joins in knowing this would only end badly. Btw I think Maedhros is the type to unalive himself when he's faced with overwhelming tragedy/guilt, but Maglor is the type to live forever in misery because he thinks he deserves an eternity of punishment.

my favorite genre of fanart is when all the feanorian boys are piled into one frame, and there's this scale from maedhros, who is grown up or nearly so, going down to ambarussa, who are babies. it's just so cute

second favorite is all the sad wet cat beach hermit hours portraits of maglor

#not silm #it is but it isnt

House of Finarfin pet headcanons

Finrod: We all know he had snakes. Its the number 1# headcanon going around on silm tumblr lately. It's fanon at this point. I agree to this headcanon and I have nothing else to say except FINROD WITH GIGANTIC YELLOW PYTHON MY BELOVED.

Galadriel: Doriath's most popular pet songbirds. She loved to keep canaries and finches as pets. The feanorians were pissed because she didnt even try to set her birds free, although finches and canaries were native in Doriath and most birds were not bred but caught from the wild and then kept in cages. This was considered unorthudox later on and was banned during the long peace. Also, birds are considered tame and not dangerous in elven society, but every bird owner knows they're fucking maniacs and will try to make your life hell, which kind of reminds me of Galadriel. Looks harmeless from the outside (to elves, not to hobbits or men), but is completely unhinged on the inside. In Valinor she didn't keep any pets of her own, but sometimes she tended after her brother's snake.

Angrod: Didn't keep any pets and thought them quite useless. Loved horses tho. Especially those the Feanorians stole from them :) ...

Aegnor: rabbit/bunny person. Had four bunnies/rabbits in Valinor, but he didn't brought them with him to Beleriand. Also had two chinchillas in Valinor, but only because he was royalty. Chinchillas were normally not kept as pets in Valinor, but the Valar allowed it because of him being partly vanyarin (line of Indis favouritism). Earwen took care of them while he was away. Loved horses like his brother. Was quite upset when the feanorians took them.

Bonus: Finrod's pets in Nargothrond

Finrod of course didn't take his python with him over the ice. Reptiles needed a warm enviroment to survive and the ice was freezing cold. He didn't keep any pets until the making of Nargothrond. The men of Beor kept many dogs, but they didn't gave him any of their dogs or puppies. When Curufin joined in Nargothrond, he brought his cats with him, which was quite a surprise. Cats were not often kept in elven society. There are two options what happens when someone does something rather unusual or new: 1. Discrimination and opression and 2. it becomes a trend. Both options are not moral ways to look at change. In this case, it was the latter. In only the span of several months almost everyone in Nargothrond owned a cat, thanks to Curufin Feanor Junior 2.0, who inherited the skills of his father in convincing large crowds of people to do exactly what he tells them to do. Curufin and Feanor would have been great influencers and politicians in real life, methinks. Now Finrod, Curufin's self-diagnosed rival, did not approve this, mostly because it gave Curufin more political power and this was his kingdom and not Curufin's. If anyone is a trendsetter in Nargothrond, it's the high king Finrod Felagund and not Feanor Jr. So what did King Dunglalef do? He tried to set a trend too. Tried.

It ended in a disaster.

Mr. Eldest Son Of Finarfin was the elv who bred the first Welsh Corgi. A round of applause for Findarato here. There are two ways a trend can end: 1. It dies, but it had an significant impact and 2. It dies, but it had no significant impact whatsoever and the trend only lasted, for like, a week or something. In this case, it was the latter. At first, the whole plan worked. The people went on from Curufin's cat trend to Finrod's welsh corgi trend. At this point, Curufin's cat trend lasted for about two years, which was quite a long time for a trend to live. Cats were not looked down upon anymore and much, much more people owned a cat and cared for it then before. Finrod Felanop, of course, hoped his welsh corgies would spread the same way and their popularity would rise. This worked at first. However, people were still affected by the cat trend and a lot of people genuinely did not like welsh corgies, so the welsh corgi hype lasted for about two months and then died down.

If you need real life comparison, It was kind of like goncharov and zepotha, for example. Or the rainbow flag and the straight flag. Or the Fall Guys hype, the Wellerman hype and the World's smallest violin hype.

So yeah, Finrod is a terrible trendsetter and the Welsh Corgi pet trend was terrible. He did own Welsh Corgies, tho. Men loved them, dwarves found them lame.
