House of 🧝Feanor, House of Fingolfin, or House of Finarfin?

It depends what time period this happens.

If it's during the kinslaying and leaving Valinor, I would want to be in the House of Finarfin. Obviously, I - having read stuff - know that it's better to stay in Valinor, and if I were in the House of Finarfin I would have the least pressure on me to leave. If I was a Feanorian, I would have a bad temper, a maniacal father, a lot of dedicated-to-the-wrong-thing brothers, and they would all pressure me into leaving with them. I also don't want to lose my parents, so no Fingolfin (though he is my favorite of the three brothers).

Finarfin stays in Valinor.

Besides, blonde hair looks nice.
 
I'd prefer the House of Finarfin if I remember all these Fin-something Houses correctly. :p

It looks like we would be in the same House. ;)
 
House of Fingolfin. Fingolfin would be great father and good leader to follow. And Fingon, Turgon and Aredhel would be nice siblings. And I already look like one of Fingolfin's sons, so I probably fit there :D. Finarfinians are nice, but too calm for me. And Fëanorians are walking disaster.
Féanorians are a walking disaster for you precisely, but please make me an exception! :D
 
Ah, so as the 15th Vala but not a fallen one? I'd join you then. And what of Annatar? Would he be a Maia (but not a fallen one either)?

Also, just wondering, would the House of Feanor (Noldor) or the House of Eol (Teleri) suit me better?
 
I would pick house of Fëanor. Maedhros is actually really nice guy. I spent some time with him, showing him beauties of Beleriand from peaks of Thangorodrim :D.
Indeed, for 30 years! I visited him sometime to see the same view, it was fascinating! But did you see me there too? Probably not. :D I tried to save him by breaking the band of steel wrought by you,,but I lost my grip on the edge of the cliff and met my own end very shortly after, for the 2nd time. :oops:

Let's just say...the first time I fell was when I was accidentally slain by Maedhros's sword at the First Kinslaying, although I wouldn't be very surprised considering I would be 62.5% Teleri, 25% Vanyar and 12.5% Noldor. In my last moments, I truly wondered which side I was meant to be on... :oops:

(I guess, does that change your opinion on Maedhros? ;))

I would definitely pick the House of Fingolfin! Sure, they endure many challenges and hardships, with the betrayal and crossing of the Helcaraxë and all, but this family is also honorable and loyal to each other! Fingolfin himself is a great leader to follow, and his children are all noteworthy for their character and deeds as well. They are loving, valiant, wise, forgiving, adventurous, protective, skilled, and so much more. Plus, blue is the best color!

In addition, I also love the deep friendship and brotherly love between Fingon and Maedhros. Despite the tensions between their families, they still stood up for each other and would go on to protect Beleriand together after Fingon risked everything to save his dear cousin from Thangorodrim. As a Nolofinwian, I could at least support my Fëanorian kin and be there when they need aid. I do have my own Maedhros in real life, and I would do anything for her as a best friend and sister-in-heart. Loyalty in friendship is a value to be honored and upheld!
