Tall Finarfin rights! <3 Love their outfits!
Honestly, the Noldor who stayed in Tirion or turned back with Finarfin were the truly insane ones. Think about it: their entire way of life was destroyed in a day. Their king was murdered and the light that they came to Valinor for was gone. Morgoth escaped and the Valar were panicking. Feanor gave a masterful speech about vengeance and victory, freedom and joy, how there was nothing left in Valinor for them, and the majority of the Noldor followed him.
The ones who didn't willingly traded the security of going with the majority for the uncertainty of staying in a Valinor without light, a Valinor that wasn't safe anymore. Tolkien says that none of them stayed out of fear. They stayed because Valinor was their home and they refused to abandon it. And the Noldor who returned with Finarfin were even more insane; the Doom had been spoken, it is explicitly stated that the Exiles were afraid and/or unwilling to face the Valar's judgement, but Finarfin and his people turned back anyway, into darkness and danger, because it was the right thing to do.
No wonder they won the War of Wrath so convincingly. The Amanyar Noldor's big dick energy was off the charts.

Honestly though? I could tell that Elrond really, I mean REALLY PREFERS Thingol's line over his Noldorin heritage. My dude really went: "... and my mother was Elwing, daughter of Dior, son of Lúthien of Doriath." My dude named half of his mother's line like he is proud af. I LOVE HIM.
Exactly!!

f you're still taking asks for the unusual headcanons ask game, would you do 🐅 and 🗡️ for Finarfin, please?
Sorry for the late reply!
🐅 - Characterization
He's as stubborn and proud and ambitious as the rest of his family, just in a very different way. His pride is not in his personality/skills/achievements but in his strength of character and in being part of a whole (i.e. the Amanyar). His ambition is not personal, but to make the Noldor and Valinor better than before. And he had to be pretty stubborn to resolutely stay out of his family's drama, not get caught up in Feanor's rabble-rousing, and turn back into darkness and uncertainty because it was the right thing to do.
🗡️ - Fighting style/combat
It's highly unlikely canon-wise, but I love the idea that he wielded Ringil, Fingolfin's sword (maybe Thorondor managed to bring it to Gondolin, and it passed down to Earendil who then gave it to Finarfin). I don't know much about fighting styles but I imagine he was very utilitarian and stony (not inclined to rage). He had centuries to sharpen his anger into steel.

With Manwe’s mind always being open to Eru and being bound to his will, it makes everyone's mistakes more interesting. The Valar make choices not knowing the full plan, and later are told that they steered away from the goal. Like Eru withhold the elves’ awakening from the Valar in gnome. Also the part written from an in universe perspective about the ban touches on a similar point. If you say Manwe made a mistake it’d also be attributed Eru, who knew and allowed the action.
Exactly! Imagine being Manwe, making choices to the best of your ability and knowledge with barely any guidance, always with the goal of protecting the Children, and then being told by Eru (who didn't bother to pick up the phone) that you were wrong.
That's the in-universe explanation though. The Doylist explanation (if I'm using the term correctly) is that pretty much everything in the Silm had to happen exactly the way it did for the story to reach the point when the Ring is destroyed.

My newest fancast: Antonio Te Maioha as Fingolfin!
"In Beleriand King Thingol upon his throne was as the lords of the Maiar, whose power is at rest, whose joy is as an air that they breathe in all their days, whose thought flows in a tide untroubled from the heights to the deeps."
"Elrond, the master of the house, was their chief. He was as noble and as fair in face as an elf lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves and as kind as summer."
