Batman: Widening Gyre (2009) #1
Might I suggest:
the worm jester:
Or, additionally, the worm knight:
“all hail the worm king”

I don’t think Maedhros stopped praying when he left Valinor, even once the Valar had forsaken his family and banished them. Maybe it was habit maybe it was comfort but I don’t think he stopped.
Nor do I think he stopped when he was captured by The Enemy. I think it became his sole source of hope that someone who cared would hear him and free him one way or the other and in a sense that prayer was answered.
I don’t even think it stopped when Fingon died. I think Maedhros prayed he’d find peace and safety in Mandos. I think he prayed he’d be home safe soon. I think he was grateful that no matter the end the person he loved most was at last out of harms way.
No he stopped praying after Doriath. The night he lost so much. The night he lost three brothers. The night that Celegorm bled out in his arms going out of the world quietly, in stark contrast to how he entered it. But it was not those deaths that stopped his prayers, he knew his brother’s wrongs, the harm they’d done. He knew with as much pain as it brought him they deserved it.
He stopped praying when he lost two little boys in the woods. When in desperation with tears freezing on his cheeks he called out with the simplest prayer you can “please.” He was met only with the bite of the frost and the cold moonlight and the colder indifference of gods that claimed to be loving. When Fingon had reached out in a moment of need despite his own banishment an eagle had been sent. To save Maedhros’ wind and war torn soul. But when Maedhros asked them to save two little princes lost in the woods there was only silence and contempt.
Yes I think he only stopped praying after that. When he was good and sure he was alone.

I stared at the moving one for too long trying to figure out the rotating point and now everything is spinning 💀
For his parents, the stars are just cute little decorative stickers, but for him they opened up a whole new world.
A little SY drawing I did today. Maybe I'll colour it someday ...
My first post being a shitty danny phantom fanart I made while being unable to stop laughing? Seems appropriate

Your party is in peril, summons gone, allies falling fast. You hesitate, hand hovering over the last name on your list—the summon you swore never to use. After a long breath, you let it loose. The air cracks. Reality bends. You just hope you won’t regret this later.
Well I like it but it’s not very well written. Also it’s a visual mess. The plot doesnt make any sense and the creators suck and its politics oscillate from mildly problematic to frankly baffling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. However. the character
If it scratches that itch in my brain, I will (that is a threat) like it
