Something quick and simple with Feanor and Fingolfin
The arrow is kind of random because I didn't want to give swords to both of them. Don't judge me!
I wanted to share this little gem with the world.
The least 6 portraits.
Lúthien, Fingolfin, Maglor, Fëanor, Aredhel and Ecthelion.
So in my Spanish class, the teacher has assignments on the board that say something like, "Tiana es Alta y trabajadora."
But recently, she ran out of Disney princesses and random names, so she had us write names on index cards and turn them in.
She handed me a couple of index cards, and I immediately the knowledge of the House of Finwë spark in my brain like,
Fëanor and Nerdanel.
Fëanor sails for Middle Earth.
Nerdanel stays.
Fëanor is bonked by balrogs.
Nerdanel mourns.
No one mourns the wicked.
Quick question.
You know the Dad Shirts™️, right? Or even better, the Apocalypse Dad Shirts™️? Or, if you look really closely, the shirt that Sam wore when he was first seen gardening in the Fellowship of the Ring, when Bilbo was narrating the wonders of the Shire? Yeah, the Dad Shirt™️.
These bad boys.
ANYWAY
Do you think that, given the opportunity, Fëanor would wear the Dad Shirt™️?
RANDOM SILM CHARACTERS FAVE SOUPS (because it's finally getting cold where I live)
Fëanor: tomato soup. No grilled cheese. Nerdanel (and the rest of his family) thinks this is terrifying. Solid color (and red), he likes the consistency.
Nerdanel: beefy stew. A very hearty soup for someone who is probably very strong. Gotta get that protein for chiseling out some marble 💪💪
Maedhros: Zuppa Toscana. Flavorful, a lil spicy, and has some potatoes in it. Perfect.
Maglor: chicken noodle with tri color rotini. My dad likes the tri color rotini, and Maglor gives dad vibes
Celegorm: no salt added bone broth. Do NOT EVER eat any soup he offers.
Curufin: French onion. Bougie guy. Likes to take the bread off the top and eat it separate. Celebrimbor thinks he's crazy.
Caranthir: miso soup. Add spicy soup dumplings. Was begrudgingly taught how to make soup dumplings in his youth by Finwe, forgot, and was then re-taught by Haleth.
Amrod: chili. Warm and filling, likes it with tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, the whole shebang. He does not usually like beans, but will tolerate them for chili.
Amras: corn chowder; nice and creamy, preferably with some thick toast to dip it in. He likes it thin, not thickened with a flour/corn starch slurry, so it's kinda weird.
Celebrimbor: potato soup. All the way. He does not skimp on the garnishes of bacon and cheese: to him, they are not garnishes, but added, necessary ingredients (me too, bro).
I had potato soup for dinner because by brother did not want the zuppa toscana that I wanted to make.
Fëanor was SCORCHING when he heard Nerdanel say that but she’s like
(Bonus: Nerdanel wearing one of Anaire’s dress. She just knows the right buttons to push)
A game!

Aaaaaand that's a wrap! I'm done with drawing the Fëanorians; at least in the same style and as companion pieces.
Here's Fëanor, on his way to commit the crime he's so infamous for. And I am so incredibly happy with my progress. Because, um, when you look at my art of Maedhros and the others, they all look incredibly... thin. So either advanced stick figures or disturbingly underfed elves... I will leave it to your imaginations.
Edit: Also, I just realised "Trouble" by Adam Jensen goes with this perfectly
P.S. Guys, thank y'all for all these nice tags you reblog with; if they were comments, I would've responded😭 but as it is, I can only say I am reading all your commentary with a face-splitting grin and clapping my hands from giddiness-overload. Your responses always make my day, even if it already is great!
Something something about Curufin really resembling Fëanor. Sometimes Curufin catches his brothers looking at him weirdly. Like, really weird. Maglor standing in the doorway with tears in his eyes while Curufin plays with Tyelpe, softly singing the same songs Fëanor used to hum to them as kids. Or Maedhros going completely silent—teary-eyed silent—after Curufin delivers a fiery political rant they absolutely don’t agree on. Tyelko weirdly saying a soft “thank you” (with a smile, no less) when Curufin quietly replaces his worn-out arrows with new ones. Even Caranthir showing up at the forge, saying nothing at all, just standing there until Curufin asks what’s up and all he says is, “I like watching you work.”
It used to weird him out. Now he kinda gets it. They weren't looking at him at these times... they were seeing echoes. He accepts it. His brothers' pain is the same as his.

The Oath of Fëanor in Fëanor a jeho synové
Tak pravil Maedhros v přísaze, || So spoke Maedhros in the oath, stejně Maglor, jehož každý zná, || As did Maglor, who is known by all, Celegorm, Curufin taktéž, || Celegorm and Curufin as well, dvojčata, Caranthir. || The twins and Caranthir. Kdo přísahu slyšel, zachvěl se, || Whoever heard the oath trembled, zazní slova nezrušitelná, || The irrevocable words rang, lhostejno, co pravda, co lež, || Whether they were right or wrong je nedobytný cíl. || Their goal cannot be reached.

Fëanor
for @feanorianweek day 7: Fëanor, Creation
I also made an alternative version based on this weird idea of mine, because, unfortunately, I do need someone to keep an eye on my pipettes at work :D
IDEA: The Silmarils were, in fact, crystal containers with either:
- fluorescent proteins, or (even more likely)
- luciferases (proteins that catalyze chemical reactions producing light, e.g. in fireflies or jellyfish)
because that's probably how the Trees could shine in the first place.
*Gasp* and Feanor thought it was Morgoth who stole his silmarils this whole time- but it was actually his own youngest sons?!?! I present to you the twins, Ambarussa
Literally, I have proof
Fëanor and Nerdanel.
Fëanor sails for Middle Earth.

Silm headcanon #1
feanorians's oath was a pinky promise
maglor made it look more dramatic in his songs so the future generations don't laugh at them
elrond knows what it really looked like only bc maedhros talks in his sleep, is silent about it out of mercy
galadriel had no mercy
Jedi stans do not know Tolkien lore
It's so funny, cause... it's literally what Tolkien actually wrote in his opus magnum Silmarillion! It happened when Valar, despite having almost angelic powers, practically abandoned Middlearth and Beleriand and allowed Morgoth and his cronies to kill and enslave Elves and Dwarves and lead part of Humans away from them(enslaving others too). They allowed everything built and created by Elves to be destroyed, for a huge part of Noldor elves to die in horrible ways, for Eru's children to suffer. No matter how narrative attempts to frame this, Valar are accompliced by their inaction. Even before the First Kinslaying, they had practically forgotten about Sindar and Nandor Elves living under Morgoth's feet, about Dwarves and yet-to-be-awakened-Humans.
Their inaction was not deemed as something inherently good in any piece of Tolkien's works except the Myths Transformed. In The Book of Lost Tales(which i consider really good for analysis and explaining some plotholes of published Silmarillion and presenting Valar in more or less sympathetic light) the majority of both Maiar and Ainur are so afraid of Morgoth that they practically force Manwe(who is their king) to hide Valinor from the world! It happens despite both Manwe and Ulmo pleas for Noldor's sake and Manwe telling all secrets about Elves and Humans Eru entrusted him! Myths Transformed, on the contrary, present Valar as ultimately morally right no matter what happened - and it is the reason why they seem so unlikable and problematic for many(and may be the reason Christopher never used this concept). Even in the published Silmarillion Valar are presented as misguided and not totally right in the end.
Also, let's adress Tolkien himself. He never considred Lord of the Rings the major book he had written in his life and the book what tells about his views most is actually Silmarillion! And this book actually has more complex take on "good and evil", explaining, why Tolkien viewed his charactres as they are.
What in Tolkien's mind separates morally grey character(like Feanor, his sons, Turin) from the villain(like Morgoth, Sauron, Eol, Saruman)? As it can be seen through the text, it is an ability to love and care about someone while seeing them as persons and loyalty to another person or their people or devotion to a large-scale goal character has. The reasons that his characters are "good" are not because of their service to some institutions or fighting evil, but because they are productive, creative and their major goal is making the world a better place. They are something except the fighters and destroyers and it what made them good. It's evil who reacts on "good characters" doing something, like it was with Sauron's deeds during the Second Age(founding Mordor in response to Numenor's victorious wars against him, falsely giving up to Ar-Pharazon in response to latter nearly destroying his kingdom, attacking Gondor and causing War of the Last Alliance of fear it will take root) and Morgoth's before the First Age(creating Dissonance in responce to the Eru calling him out, manipulating Noldor princes out of envy for their artificial gems, especially the Simarils).
Meanwhile, Jedi are purely the reactive force at the time of Prequels. They do nothing, they create nothing, they only serve a corrupt goverment doing whatever it asks and ignoring it sliding more and more into the autoritarism. They ignore literal and corporal slavery in Canon, and crime syndicats(like Findian syndicat), long-time civil wars, dark cults(like Bando Gora), planets getting attacked and suffering from epidemics and starvation in Legends. They do even less than IRL Templars and Hospitallers did(guarding the piligrims and giving them shelter, which was the primary goal of such institutions except fighting Muslims). We have never seen the Jedi travelling from one planet to another to build or create something(or heal somebody), they does not harbor any global project involving something potentially useful for all of Republic citizens.
In comparison, many Tolkien's favourite characters and nations are something except the warriors and fighters. If we will take hobbits, they are wonderful farmers. Teleri Elves are the shipbuilders and saliors. Noldor Elves and Dwarves are blacksmiths, inventors, artificial gem and jewelry makers. Sindar Elves are singers. Numenorians and Gondor people are scholars, explorers of the world, alchemists and inventors too. Even Rohan people are not only the fighters, they are wonderful horse breeders. I won't even start with master inventor Feanor with his belief that Eru's children's mind can overcome Ainur and Celebrimbor with desire to heal Middlearth from wasting away. Do Jedi present something of themselves except the enforcing and partly dimplomatic organisation?
None. And there is the reason Jedi could not and should not be compared to Tolkien characters. They grew complacent and distant from the people. They only react - while Tolkien heroes act. We never see Jedi "bravely going where no people had gone before" or moving to some planet in order to create a medicine for some illiness, even if they are stated have their own special Service Corps divisions for this. Ironically, that is actually makes them having a lot in commin with Ainur, whom Jedi Stans tend to compare their faves with. Complacency, which in the end lead to the tragedy.
They compare Ainur to the angels, ignoring the textual evidence that their complacency lead to the practical genocide of Elves. And ironically, an actual Tolkien fandom - and the Professor himself - tends to see these "Angels" in more or less critical light.
