If The Silmarillion Was A Jane Austen Novel, I Think It'd Be Called Immortality & Immorality

If The Silmarillion was a Jane Austen novel, I think it'd be called Immortality & Immorality

So like….. if Fëanor created the Palantíri……… and there were originally 8 of them….did…did Fëanor just invent the Middle Earth equivalent of phones so he could keep in contact with his kids???

I absolutely love this - if you don't mind me adding my own hc to this: With all of his children (though specifically the first three) he would spend time getting to know at least a little bit more than the average person would (but let's be real here its Feanor he would probably try and find as much as possible) so that he could talk with his sons on these subjects, and wouldn't be (as) lost as most other elves would be whenever they discuss their interests/infodump

I also love the idea that they all infodump, all the time? At least before the whole silmarill debacle, they would do things together and cared about each others interests not just because of the interests, but also just to support each other in that way. :)

Learning Together

Head Canon: When Feanor first realized that Celegorm was very fond of animals he spent weeks learning all he could about them, as they were not his area of expertise, simply so he had something to bond with his third son over.

I'm really sorry, I always add my little twist to stuff like this but this is genius! I genuinely, wherever you are, am sending you as much happiness and joy as humanely possible! I was thinking the other day about how Mae is often associated with fire (in part due to his death ofc) and Mags with the sea and Celegorm earth, (the others I don't really think can be associated with a certain "element" in the same way without repeating) and how Feanor was ofc also fire (and does anyone else ever sympathise with him??? As in his spirit wise, and his just genuine love for making and knowing things??? Basically I see a lot of myself in a lot of them) and couldn't put my finger on it - but this is sooooo good!

When Mae dies - does Feanor then go to Maglor, despairing by the sea? Or, does he go to the next firey soul he knows to torment... maybe Sauron???

suddenly obsessed with the idea that ‘spirit of fire’ Fëanor and ‘after his torment upon Thangorodrim his spirit burned like a white fire within, and he was as one that returns from the dead’ Maedhros had a fusing. a union. part of the spirit that Míriel gave to Fëanor could not be still. could not rest. there was still too much of it. and Maedhros crying out in his torment, seeking comfort, company, a way out, was like a beacon for this spirit. and part of the white fire within, the return from the dead, is his father, who cannot, cannot die. so despite everything, he remains, and more than just the oath of Fëanor, Maedhros is also actively haunted by him
