I Prefer These Long Periods Of Relaxation. Lovely Day For It.

I mean technically it already passed because I have some saved fan art from April but that’s when I did my first drawing so it counts

Next month is my k/j anniversary 😌

jaheira getting choked up while talking about khalid. still refers to him as her husband after a century. keeps his letter and his gift in a special little display case hidden in a secret room in her secret hideout in her secret family home. she loved him so much. she loves him still.

saw this trend on tiktok and thought it fit them well 🤭

May or may not be cooking something up

Something I think about is Khalid’s mother

Because in the first game in Khalid’s background she is not mentioned at all, and in siege of dragonspear she is mentioned as ‘not thinking much of him’ 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 Khalid‘s father had her as a concubine in the first place.

She would always be below his actual wife and I won’t get into all of the horrible things that could’ve happened to her prior or during this time

And then on top of everything, she has a illegitimate kid with the dude!

I doubt Khalid’s father or his wife (mother of Khalid’s 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.

There’s 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 didn’t 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 there’s 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

There’s so many possibilities because we know nothing about her so we get to fill in the blanks!

I like the angelic scion outfit a lot

I’ll finish shading someday idk

Note to try this the next time I’m in grymforge! 👀👀

Jaheira doodle

Not that one person in chat when everyone is talking about how cute Khalid is (facts) saying “Irenicus didn’t think he was so cute”

Tracy Wiles reading the My Dearest Wife letter (from this stream) :')

also fun fact the footage i got for the last gif in that jaheira & khalid gifset i actually originally recorded for a video edit i never finished. but i did finish this part. so. for your added angsty benefit <3

The horrifying reality that if I want a fic I need to write it and bouncing it around in my head isn’t enough
