I made them (to the best of my ability) in the sims and they keep on kissing so canon
I think they should kiss more often
The art is so prettyyyyy
The shadowlach shippers may be converting me even though I've shipped shadowzel (or whatever the shipname is called) from day one
and they were ROOMATES šāļø
I have finished cooking
Here she is! Khalidās mom + a baby Khalid
I think she turned out really pretty and I like her even if this was a struggle lol
Iām not very good at designing outfits so even though I had the parameters of wanting to be light weight and have light colors to avoid overheating as well as a head piece to protect her face and scalp from the sun I struggled to make brain work. I wanted her to look older than she ultimately ended up looking but she is an elf I suppose⦠but I still want her to look older
Something I think about is Khalidās mother
Because in the first game in Khalidās background she is not mentioned at all, and in siege of dragonspear she is mentioned as ānot thinking much of himā but to a lesser extent than his father did who we all agree was a POS
1. What was she like?
like her life probably sucked a lot.
She was an elven concubine in a country that is pretty much devoid of any other elves, and so she was seen as exotic, which is probably why Khalidās father had her as a concubine in the first place.
She would always be below his actual wife and I wonāt get into all of the horrible things that couldāve happened to her prior or during this time
And then on top of everything, she has a illegitimate kid with the dude!
I doubt Khalidās father or his wife (mother of Khalidās half brothers) was particularly interested in raising him, so it was probably all on her.
So now on top of her life already probably sucking, she has this kid in a world that is guaranteed to be hostile towards him because he is considered lower by default.
Thereās no way she could protect him from that even if she did try.
Maybe there was a combination of resentment of having another thing on her plate to take care of but also guilt about having this kid that she feels is guaranteed to have a miserable life
2. Was their relationship purely indifference and neglect or was there some love?
Is it possible that she walled herself off from him so that when he was inevitably hurt it didnāt hurt her as much? Like self protection so she only had to feel her own hurt
Were there good moments? Where she would protect him or comfort him in ways she felt she could?
Maybe she held some hope that because his father was of the merchant class Khalid would get further than she could only to have those hopes crushed within her lifetime
3. How does Khalid feel about her?
Maybe he is a bit overly forgiving of her actions because of he knows her circumstances (Which probably annoys Jaheira lol)
Maybe thereās some resentment for not being the mother he needed but he feels guilty about having those feelings
Maybe she just fades into the background of his childhood
Thereās so many possibilities because we know nothing about her so we get to fill in the blanks!
Someone said they didn't like his soup recipe
why is khalid mad? wrong answers only

ohmigod you guys Khalid is so cute i want fifty
[quiet squeeing] This is some next level romancey stuff. I love it. Caden is absolutely eating this up; given his line heās clearly had his own share of piningā maybe after some visitors that came in to Candlekeep now and again, seeming all sophisticated and worldly.
(ā¦Heās absolutely going to do this when Aerie comes around at first in BGII; heās used to being the kind of sheltered country boy when beautiful ladies come around, doesnāt actually have any experience except for flirting briefly with the werewolf lady in BGI. And when he meets Aerie ā since evidently sheās dropdead gorgeous ā heās gonna be a little slackjawed and believe thereās no way he could have a chance. And itās going to be ADORABLE. *excited bouncing*)
But omg Iām just picturing this scene and Jaheira being all gruff as Khalid comes bursting in and then admitting she feels the same wayā¦ja;sldfjaposdfjpoajdfa.
So cute.
Atta boy Khalid! \o/
eeeeeeee :D
(You have the option to charge him 200 gold for the aquamarine. But we are not that kind of jerk. c: )
Oh so when astarion kills people in order to ascend to a more powerful form, jaheira is skeptical but allows it. But when I, the spawn of Bhaal-
I made Jaheira and Khalid in the sims 4! Iām not very good at making sims and looking at it now I think I made jaheiras head too long but eh
I donāt own the pack that has pointy ears so i found some cc ones, I canāt edit them like Iād want because of that but we make do
Also apparently base game doesnāt have scars and I really thought it did so thatās on me
They are legitimately all over each other and keep taking breaks from whatever theyāre doing to kiss which is cute but also unhelpful when Iām trying to grind up their skills lol
Also have some funny moments
Canon, also sorry the quality is shit idk why
Jaheira is not beating the baby fever allegations with this one lmao
you know, Khalid, it has been a long day without you. And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
Jaheira x Khalid is so powerful they made me obsessive over a ship when I havenāt done that in literally 5 or so years
Im so proud of them
