Do you have hcs for Erestor's background/story? Or if you're compelled by many, what are your favorites for him? 🌸
Hello, friend!
Sort of and sorry this has been sitting in my drafts for so long!
I do have a couple though:
Generally I hc him as Peredhel and usually a child of Haleth and Caranthir
He's a Ñoldo
I think he's extremely battle capable but prefers not to fight if he doesn't have to anymore.
I ship Glorestor hardcore.
I usually view him as the Loremaster/Librarian and Counsellor to Elrond. But then Elrond doesn't really have a Herald? And I generally view Lindir as a minstrel or assistant so he doesn't fit that. Maybe Elladan and Elrohir are the Heralds but I also don't think Elrond expects Imladris to continue without him since most elves are leaving Arda at this time.
On one hand, I'm like I love family Elrond and Erestor but I also kind of ship them sometimes. I just think they would fuck well together lol. Elrond deserves to have his back blown out by literally everyone. 😂
I think he's quiet, got a major resting bitch face, he's very snarky and judgmental, and always looks perfectly put together.
He really likes dripping in the jewel style of the Ñoldor but doesn't tend to wear a ton outside of events. It's a war between his family and preferences and how he still appreciates Ñoldor culture and his want to stay fairly political savvy.
He's super kinky and loves bdsm. He and Glorfindel are a great pair: he likes Glorfindel up and Glorfindel likes being tied up.
He has chronic migraines that are quite severe.
You can often find him in the baths.
He's very protective over Lindir and Elrond and generally like his people.
I often kind of view him as gender neutral.
Going to Valinor will be fascinating because I ship both Glorestor and Glorthelion and not sure Erestor would be up for poly?
I also kind of like Erestor as a child of Celebrimbor? He's not very good with his hands, but he loves being in a forge. He has dragon hoarding of people vibes.
Erestor loves his library and hot beverages.
He doesn't like winter because it reminds him of the Helcaraxë and he gets cold easily. Maybe anemic Erestor? I could really get behind this actually.
You can always find him in the Hall of Fire or by a hearth in winter listening to the minstrels (and usually doing paperwork).
His favorite season is Spring (?) might think about this.
He does love Yule - or the elvish equivalent - though. The return of warmth and light and bonfires in the cold.
