Okay, so, I was thinking about Elwë/Finwë/Miriël, and my brain decided to take me to terrible elf biology, so I'm now inflicting it on everyone else:

What if? elves could have more than one 'father' (father here meaning solely as not the one providing the womb) because elven birth is tied to fëar?? But because elves are typically (and in Valinor, strictly) monogamous, and, going back to Elwë/Finwë/Miriël, because Fëanor is so similar to Finwë (perhaps because Elwë and Miriël wanted so? huh?), nobody knows!

I can see two possibilities here:

One, the Valar know that there is something dangerous in elves having more than one partner, they just don't know. what. it. is. so they just decide to forbid non-monogamy as a whole, but without anyone knowing Miriël is already pregnant by the time they arrive in Valinor so when they find out they assume is just Finwë's, but holding three fëars was the danger and it ends up consuming Miriel and the rest is history

Or:

Alternatively, maybe it's not really a danger (and the ban non-monogamy has nothing to do with this), but because Elwë stays behind while the Noldor continue, and a baby's fëar is nursed by the parents, that means Miriel has to pour more of herself into caring for Fëanor and thus ends up dying

...honestly, I mostly just find the idea of Fëanor being a third Thingol hilarious

#please no one take this too seriously #I'm mostly joking around #I just thought this was both interesting and hilarious as a concept #also finwe/elwe/miriel is just so facinating and sad #like finwe just end up losing both his loves #finwe #house of finwe #thingol #the silmarillion #feanorians #silm #feanor #house of feanor #elwe/miriel/finwe #elwe singollo #silmarillion #can you imagine tho #finwe: I really don't know why feanor's like this miriel and I never were #Thingol: *sneeze*#Celegorm is born and everyone talks about Miriel's hair and then he grows up and all Finwe sees is Thingol #I think overall I like the second one the best #but it really is the Miriel can't catch a break one #like first she dies because Thingol finds Melian #then Finwe marries Indis and blocks her possibility of life #miriel #miriel therinde #silm crack
