Feanor

spoilers of the silmarilion ahead

Likes? Dislikes?

why did he burn those boats? his anger is out of control but i admire him anyway, i was so mad when he got killed by that balrog!

Feanor rocks man, no doubt.

no dought at ALL
collest of them all i mean he made the sil's

Mmmhmmm The three Silmarils, he was also known for creating the eight palantiri.

and brought woe to all the Eldar...

Hey Feanor, we were just talkin' about you. 😉

😛 aw...*wipes tears from eye* Yes...Feanor was such a tragic story...risking all for the sil, yet never reaching his goal.

Weren't those seven palantíri? 😄

'Nyways, there are times when I hate Fëanor, because of being an extreme hater, 😛 but there are also some times when I admire him and I'm his fan. I mean, c'mon, the guy is cool. Talented and productive, having 7 sons and all. Nice to be Nerdanel. 😄

when he died, he was the only elf they wouldn't let back out into middle-earth again.

he's the coolest just for his anger!!!

how unfortunate it was for him...and how easily it was for him to be mislead by Melko...to much pride and anger in him to be allowed back i think...i think it had something to with the fact his father remarried

Yeah. 🙁 That's my problem with him too. What exactly is his problem from the fact that Finwe remarried? Is it just because he wants all the love and attention to him? Or is he threatened and afraid for the throne? Or is it because he thinks that Finwe never loved Miriel? (though he really did), or is Feanor (I hate to say this but) really just plain selfish? I mean, he never really loved Fingolfin and Finarfin and their children, and I think he also brought up his sons like that. What's his real "issue" you think?

he was a bad ass and he new it. and nobody gave him nearly enough kudos.

(but mostly the throne thing. he was paranoid and didn't trust his half-siblings. he looked down his nose at them a bit).

😑

yes the eight...seven of which came to middle earth and one of which is the all powerful stone...which stays with manwe 😄 at all times 😄

feanor.....dont talk to ME about feanor...that man makes some jewels...they get stolen so he goes and swears an oath which pretty much screws everyone

he makes some people get banished....so they cant gi back to valinor...THEN burns the ships and stuff so they cant get to M:E WHERE THE HELL DID THEY GO!!!

and the balrogs killing him were great 😄

stupid feanor

oh..ok thanks. 😄 Didn't know that. I always thought there are just seven of them. 😄

I think there were more than eight Palantíri - just SOME of them were given as a gift to the Númenóreans while the others remained in the hands of the Elves. I dont think they would have given all of them (except for one) to the Edain.

And, yeah, Feanor rocks. He's an absolutely cool character, and as I think one of Tolkien's best inventions. I also love the idea of how genius he was and yet with his perfect Silmarilli brought woe over all Middle-earth. And - no doubt that he has an absolutely cool character which Tolkien describes in an absolutely cool way 😄

I think the best description of Feanor is his famous quote:

"For the less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may accomplish but once only; and in that deed his heart shall rest. It may be that I can unlock my jewels, but never again shall I make their like. And if I shall break them, I shall break my heart, and I shall be slain, first of all Eldar of Aman... (...) This thing I will not do of free will. But if the Valar will constrain me, then I shall know indeed that Melkor is of their kindred...."

(potential mistakes caused by my horribly bad mind included 😄 )

I won't say I told you so.

Ve i taura tanon ea i nurmean
almárea carna ya cuileryo tertucis
erya lúmenna tenna i metta telima;
tana carnasse indorya seruva.
Nai panta hwarmar turuvan i alcaro
mírinyais; nan tennoio úvante encárine.
Íre i mirilli mánya hatuva,
ara te hatuvas hón sina: - andácina
yévan, Aman-nóresse yesta ilye Eldaron.
Tava úvan tyaro mirima indonen;
nai mauyuvar ni táre i Valar: entave
anwe onóror istuvanyet Melcoro!

Awww that sounds perfect in Quenya... *loves text*
