dawn_felagund: Skeleton embracing young girl (a friend you haven't met)
From: [personal profile] dawn_felagund
It's like he never says it fully, but it amazes me still, even after 31 and a half years. I often wondered if fathers just thought you knew all along, but never heard the praise...

My dad's the same way. When I was griping about him once, [livejournal.com profile] arandil13 said, wisely, "Well, at least you're not Feanor's kid," but--thinking on my dad--if Feanor were to be embodied in human form, my dad would be it. Relentless perfectionism, pride, temper and all! :)

I didn't realize that my dad respected or even liked me until we worked together at a restaurant. He was a shift manager; I was the production trainer. We worked a lot of the same shifts, and I came to the realization that he was proud of me, mostly from the way he'd speak of me to guests. (I was called from my comfy fountain or kitchen many times to meet one of his "friends," regular customers and the like.) But it was kind of surprising all the same, so I also relate to Macalaure's surprise.

I think Makalaurë will sleep alone tonight and I am volunteering to keep his bed warm. ;)

Lol! When you see where he ends up sleeping, let me know if this deal's still on. ;)

I remember, the chapter before the Nerdanel and Tyelkormo one, that the guys did reach the shores and sea, with Maedhros plunging into the seas... or did I dream that, so that leaves me wondering about the posting order of the chapters..

No, you didn't dream it. At the end of Maitimo's last chapter, Feanor comes into his bedroom and asks him if he's going with them to Orome's Halls. He gives Maitimo leave to go to the sea with Macalaure, and Maitimo then engages in a little angst where he imagines plunging into the sea and never coming up. But they'd yet to leave their Formenos home; this was only in his imagination.
