I want to see more melancholic part of sebek, even tho it might be nonexistent canonly.
What if compared to his brother & sister, sebek is the one who retains most of his father's traits as a human.
maybe he was a bit behind than everyone in briar valley
maybe some of them made fun of him
maybe nobody made fun of him, but he just disliked the feeling of getting left behind
maybe he's trying so hard not to curse & shift blame all of his weakness to his father more than he should, because his mother loves him so much
maybe one day he did lash out to his father
and his father just smiled painfully to him and said sorry to sebek, and sebek promises to himself to never hurt his father the same way again
that's why he got to be strong, strong to the point that it never crosses his mind again or anyone's mind that he is, in fact, a half fae.

What gets me about arguments that state Eloise is being a bad friend to Pen is that they both were engaging in secret activities that let them rebel against society's conventions and also put their families at risk. But Pen as Whistledown is celebrated and Eloise going to lectures and befriending Theo is somehow transgressive.
Marina trapping Colin into marriage was bad. Eloise meeting secretly with Theo is bad. Eloise seemingly friends with Cressida is unforgivable.
But Pen outing Marina's pregnancy (a woman who had the least amount of power than anyone in the Ton) is good, even if it leaves her open to public ridicule. Pen outing Eloise as a political radical is good because it "saves" Eloise, even if it leaves her open to public ridicule. Pen continuing to write as Whistledown is good, although she is now well aware of how much it can get her family in trouble with the Queen herself, because....why?
Other women can face the consequences of their actions because they supposedly deserve it, but Pen can continue to engage in even riskier behavior in secret, protect herself from facing no public ridicule for it, and Eloise is wrong to be angry and bitter about any of it. Her befriending Cressida is somehow worse than anything Pen has done. And if Colin finds out about Pen's secret, he's supposed to be fully supportive of her, too, or else he's wrong. That doesn't make a damn bit of sense.
