I think an under explored dynamic in the Silmarillion is Feanor and Celebrimbor’s other grandfather.
This man has been crazy about having grandchildren since he first had children. A sweet little child he can teach and advise and spoil without consequence (not that consequences ever stopped him from spoiling his actual children).
And he finally has one! A grandson! A perfect, wonderful grandson. a tiny adorable little grandson who even at such a young age clearly bears his looks. feanor has never been more thrilled, Feanor has never been more ecstatic, Feanor… has to share him?
There’s just this whole other guy with this whole other family he has to share his grandson with… are you kidding him?!?… who even are these people?!?
Anyway, Feanor is now determined to establish himself as baby Tyelpe’s favourite grandfather, nay, grandparent, and nothing and no one is going to stop him. Meanwhile this other grandfather is just the chillest guy ever, really happy to get to know his son in law’s family. Feanor is seething
