Underrated Eldritch Peredhel: Earendil. Specifically, I love Earendil because he kind of starts out "normal," just being the child of an elf and a man. But then he marries the part-Maiarin Elwing, who's great-grandmother Melian affected her husband so much that he's described as being like a Maia lord afterwards. He steps foot on Aman, which in some of Tolkien's texts also physically changes him. He murders a giant dragon and doesn't die afterwards. He's nearly constantly exposed to the Silmaril. Like you know how Aman's light is supposed to be too much for mortals. And the SIlmarils have the remnants of Aman's light. And Earendil has mortal blood.
This is more headcanon but I also believe that no incarnate would naturally be able to do what Earendil does, sailing through the sky and void, possibly fighting the unknowable creatures in it. Varda had to give Earendil some power for him to be able to be Gil-Estel. I've also seen something about him being gifted wings but I forget where.
Just, imagine Earendil, the young sailor just setting out from Sirion, a man with elvish grace, or an elf with mannish features. And then imagine Gil-Estel, the warrior clad in dragon-scale armor, who's lived with the Silmaril for so long that the light shines from within him now. Who burns with Varda's hallowed radiance, so much that the creatures of the void can't even bear to look upon him. Who trails stardust and smiles with teeth that are just a bit too sharp. Who looks more in place aside Tilion and Arien than he does among elves or men.
I also firmly believe that Elrond was able to visit Earendil on the Vingelot– visiting a flying ship is much easier when you can turn into a bird, after all– and that the magic there also affected him, but that's a different post...

So insane about Fabian Aramaris Seacaster. He puts on a cocky overconfident persona as a show of his strength. He will never live up to his father’s expectations. He loves his father so much. His mother has been drunk as far back as he can remember. She’s an expert swordswoman and took out his father’s eye. He lost his own eye. He has his father’s eyepatch, he stabbed his dad in the heart to give him a quick death. His mother is now dating Gilear Faeth. He despises Gilear Faeth.

THE WAY I AM POSITIVELY SCREAMING ABT SLEEP DEMON GRIAN!!!! He's such a vessel for trauma I adore him-
would you be ok with me drawing him sometime? :D
HE HAS SO MUCH TRAUMA!!! i love him so much.
here's a fun little fact i don't think i shared here yet: once he's in the real/waking world, grian gets to be scared of the dark! because in the dreamscape, he had control. he put the darkness there, he shaped what belonged to it. he was aware of everything.
but when he's in the waking world? the darkness is a thick veil, anything could lurk in it (and he's constructed plenty of nightmares to have his imagination in overdrive). for the first time, he's blind in the face of it, and it's unexpectedly, destabilisingly scary.
AND YES YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN DRAW HIM PLEASE !!!
(pls tag me if you do <3)

How does the spooder sleep?
A study on drider sleep positions.
The belly sleeper
- not as comfy as it looks
- looks like you face planted
- standing up is fast
2. The side sleeper
- comfy
- spider leg salad
3. The dead spider
- you look pretty dead
- comfy for the drow spine
- standing up involves a lot of wriggling
4. The sleeping giraffe
- hella cute
- spine will hurt tho
More sleeping spider ->
