Galadriel and her stupid hair

Jun 29, 2005 10:42

I hate Galadriel.

Right now, I hate everything about Galadriel but mostly I think I hate her hair. What is so frickin special about her hair anyway? I have managed to work out 99% of Fëanor’s actions; what his motives were, what was going on in that hot little head of his at the time, what events in his life caused the particular act. I understood ( Read more... )

Hmmm... for what it's worth from someone who's loving your story but you don't actually know.... Maybe his lust for Galadriel's hair had little to do with her but was all about the "mingling of the light of the trees" that it supposedly captured? In other words, he's developing a sorta uncontrolled desire to capture the light for himself (ala Melkor) - maybe not unreasonable given his future obsession with his own creation. (Wasn't he much more free with previous creations? Made them and then spread them around? I haven't read Silmarillion in a while.) Thus, can't take "no" for an answer, the desire not something one can talk about in polite company, etc. Does that resonate with your Feanor at all?

BTW, I love how you start the chapters with drabbles of future events, juxtaposed with the current time of the story.

Oh! I meant to continue... since he couldn't get even one strand of her hair, that led to the genius of actually capturing the light itself in the jewels, vs. just preserving G.'s hair. So, in a way G. would be his inspiration, if perhaps for an unhealthy reason?
And, where is your picture of Feanor from? Gorgeous!

Oh, I stole my Feanor icon from leaward I saw the picture and thought "OMG!!! It's FEANOR." That was followed closely by a fangurlish squealing post in which I introduced my vision of Feanor to the world of LJ.

I don't know you, but I think I love you! That does make sense, because he did become obsessed with the Silmarils more than anything else he ever created and even denied people to be able to see them in the end ( ... )

You are very welcome. I'm glad it might help - anything to keep your muse happy and producing more Feanor and Nerdanel!
....And yes, I finally made up an LJ account. I felt really secretive being "Anonymous" in the few comments I've felt comfortable entering into other folks' accounts. Don't you deserve to know who exactly is daring to critique your work? Especially when you are being brave and generous enough to share it with us.
