Lenya! I didn't know you were an anti-Feanorian!

If anti-Feanorian means I don't like Feanor, then yes, of course I am!
PS: I just can't keep trac of the names connected with Feanor and the emotions he stirs up |

Feanorophile. Does that one exist yet?

I don't know, but it should! It may sound a bit more mellifluous, though, if it were "Feanorphile"; without the "o" it rolls off the tongue better methinks. I'd fall into that category, for real!

I don't know.. I kind of like it without the "o" but I think "Feanorophile" rolls off the toungue better, at least to me. Whatever. And so do I.

This originally was supposed to be a thread that illogically and wantonly blames Feanor for anything and everything, so... I'm sure all the anti-feanorians will enjoy blaming Feanor for Hurricane Katrina.

This thread was originally a joke and an exercise in seeing how far we could stretch logic. For the record, I'm no longer quite so anti-Feanor. I've discovered that I have way too much in common with him. And I adore several of his sons.

LM, your back. Hiya, I haven't spoken to you in ages. Not Anti-Feanor? Next you'll be telling me you like the C's!

I would never be able to show my face to SGH if that was the case. That would have to mean that the Finrod love was completely gone. Which should never happen. ...though some of those Feanorions are fine, and certainly doomed enough for my liking.

I actually quite like Feanor. I have a great deal of respect for him both as an artist and a father. Raising seven sons is no mean feat, and considering how quick they were to swear that pesky oath along with him, they must have loved him a lot which points to his having been a good father.
He made a mistake in swearing that oath, but on the other hand, his father had just been murdered and his greatest works of art stolen. Personally, I'm rather attached to both my dad and the stuff I create, if I were in Feanor's place I'd probably be lashing out at everyone around me and swearing foolhardy oaths too.

He made his sons swear on oath that ruined all of their lives! He led them to their dooms.

He didn't make them do anything. He may have asked that they do it with a great deal of persuasive passion, but they were all seven of them full grown adults with free will.

I remember this thread!
I guess now is the time to confess that I have to come to a point where I empathize with Fëanor, and I blame Finwë for everything. But, I'm not a Fëanor fangirl, and don't intend to be one at any point in time. |

And yes. I blame Finwë now also; especially for following Fëanor to Formenos, when his other sons and his entire people needed him as well.

Still... I still can't forgive him for that dying wish... he knew it was hopeless and forced his sons to carry on anyway. Who can say no to a dying father?

WITHOUT FEANOR WE WOULDNT HAVE LOTR, THE SIL OR THE HOBBIT!
PRAISED BE TO FEANOR! And thus I have spoken.
