#bc he’d already gotten a good look at the oath and the rhythm of it in the great music

I’m here to chew on the House of Fëanor like a tiger with a pumpkin full of raw beef, not to defend any of their actions, but, man, sometimes I see Second Kinslaying discourse and I just gotta be like…

i mean they did also kill jesus try to regain the 2 Silmarils from Morgoth first. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did try to regain the 2 Silmarils from Morgoth first.

Like what the FUCK do you think the Union of Maedhros and the goddamn Nirnaeth Arnoediad was FOR.

#the silmarillion #feanor and feanor’s kin #endlessly fascinated by the late first age ‘fuck it #maybe if we jump headfirst into the pit we’ve nominally been avoiding digging for ourselves we’ll be able #to salvage 1 sliver of our original pit-free intentions’ feanorian philosophy #deep in my heart I don’t think morgoth REALLY minded when maedhros got cut off that mountain #for all that it stung his pride #bc he’d already gotten a good look at the oath and the rhythm of it in the great music #and laughed and laughed and laughed
