What is up with you and Finrod? He was a wonderful person in almost every way. Just wondering why Feanor and his kind are so deserving of your admiration and you can down a Elf that was vitually Feanor's counterpart. Feanor was the cause of all the woes of the Noldor. Quote:

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

Maedhros: Feanor's selfishness and hot temper brought the Doom of Mandos on the Noldor. Feanor brought on/ ordered the Kinslaying at Alaqualonde. Feanor and his sons left the other's on the shore while they took the ships to ME... some of those elves who took the ice bridge died. And who's fault would that be, I wonder? Feanor!!! I'm thinking that not a lot has been lost on me here. Sorry that I can't feel sorry for his loss of the Silmarils, and he wasn't the only son who lost a father that day. Yet those other sons did not turn out the way he did. Last edited by Ruinel : 03-07-2003 at 10:02 AM. |

Here is a funny little thing from Shibboleth, suggesting that Finrod and Amárië was married before Finrod went into exile It is taken from a note about the parentage of Gil-Galad.

The note I quoted was dated 1965. On the same note Gil-Galad is also put in as Orodreth's son. But a few paragraphs before that note, CRT has this comment:

OMG!!! Do NOT even say that Finrod was married to Amarie, and then didn't go into exile with him!!! That would definitely put her way, way, way down on my list. As I've said... if she truely loved him, she would have endured ANYTHING to be with him (ie, the ice, the journey, the exiled status, ANYTHING).
I think she was a pansy-"s", nail painting, big haired tease that played with Finrod. And she definitely did NOT deserve his love. *erk!!! must ... calm ... down ... * |

Her staying behind was also very convenient for the plots.
*wonders how large the crush that some people have on Finrod is if they start to dislike his love interests when these don't willingly go away with him into darkness but decides not to say it aloud. *

Here's this Elf. And he leaves the most beautiful place that ever existed because of his LOYALTY to his kin. This tart makes some lame excuse that she's not allowed to go into Exile with him (probably because she'll break a friggin' nail or muss her hair or some lame excuse like that). He faces a bitter battle at Alqualonde where he has to fight against his father's kin with his mother's kin, relatives dropping like flies left and right. Then Feanor (that rat) leaves him and the rest on the shores and they have to take a perilous journey across the ice. Again, he has to watch kin and friend die along THAT route. The perils, the tragedies, the bitter end at Tol-in-Gaurhoth!!! Couldn't there have been someone to share his life, someone to bring joy to the bitter Exile, someone to say "come back alive with Beren"? And where, oh where is Amarie in all of this? Reports say she was busy getting her hair and nails done at Aman Couturier!!! arrrrgh! Must ... get ... control!!! |

I do not have a "crush" on Finrod... I just ... really... like ... his character... a lot. Ok, more than "a lot". Besides, how could anyone NOT fall for him. *swoons* Last edited by Ruinel : 03-16-2003 at 01:20 PM. |

Well, I prefer that she did not go into exile with him. The story surrounding Finrod's character would not have been half as moving if she had been there to confort him. Afterall, it is his noble character and sad trials that make us love him. All of these terrible things that happened to such a good guy.
