LIKE…. okay, so, can I say the word kismesetude in the Silm fandom without getting kicked out? It’s a beautiful, flourishing hate-ship based on envy, desire, and intense mutual rivalry. They probably both see traits in each other that are relatable and attractive, but they each despise the things the other stands for. And while Melkor is ready to flatter Fëanor, he’d rather stab himself in the throat than concede to his authority or superiority– and vice-versa. Except Fëanor would stab himself before he flattered anyone, let alone a Vala.
They both have similar goals, but incompatible values. They both desire things that can’t be had, the pursuit of which will poison their relationship with others, and ultimately undo them. They are both intense and tenacious in their pursuits, but Melkor is flexible and manipulative, and Fëanor is rigid and uncompromising. Both have egos the size of Canada, both want autonomy and recognition for their work, both have brother issues/father issues, both value their ideals more than the lives of bystanders…
And they hate each other. My god, do they hate each other. Melkor gets to steal the Silmarils but if Feanor could rip Melkor’s heart out and wear it as a tiara, he probably would. The thought of deeply, personally humiliating the other keeps them up at night, sweating and humping the sheets. IT’S BAD, IT’S A VERY BAD THING, AND I LOVE IT. >w>;;;
