Was Oropher upset that Thranduil made Ava queen when he sailed west? Did he think she was capable, or would he have rathered Thranduil gave the Throne to a male as is tradition?

Thranduil had nothing to do with Avaleina becoming Queen when he left. While the leader of the Greenwood Elves uses the title of a Monarch, power is not gained or passed in the same way as a traditional monarchy.

Their leaders are elected by the Silvan people; Avaleina becoming Queen was entirely the decision of the Greenwood Elves.

So no, Oropher has no negative opinions about Avaleina being elected queen after Thranduil sailed west.

do you think that our most beloved trauma trio tranduil, ferdan, and galion ever resorted back to their Let’s Give Oropher An Aneurysm™️ ways once everyone was reunited in valinor?

"beloved trauma trio" im cackling that's hilarious!

If you mean "Give him an aneurysm" because they make him so incredibly stressed and worried then no, I don't think they did. A significant portion of the stress that they used to plague poor Oropher with was knowledge of the 100000001 different undesirable situations they might end up in while going about their shenanigans in Middle Earth. After meeting up in Valinor he's like "Yeah. Ya'll are fine. The only things that could fuck with the three of you here in Valinor would the gods themselves." If you mean "Give Him an aneurysm" as in annoying him to the point he's going to pop a blood vessel, then yes. I think they do. There's just something about the three of them together (especially when one of more are in A Mood) that makes him want to put his head (or one of their heads) through the closest brick wall. Sometimes the poor man doesn't have the patient to listen to 10 - 30 sassy and sarcastic responses before getting an actual answer to literally anything.
