Ta'darim week day 1: Draw your favourite Tal'darim, canon or OC, as they looked as a child. Here's child Ji'nara!! I HC that Ji’nara is actually Alarak’s kid. Does he know of her existance? Yes. Does she know he’s her daddy? Also yes. Do they have a parent-daughter relationship? No, that’s not how it works in Taldie society, at least not in my AU. I suppose I could post some ramblings on this there’s so fuckign many

Alarak: I want someone to take me out.

the cement has set

so, I always had a lot of trouble placing Ji'nara anywhere in headcanons because she's a bit of a mystery to me, I wish more was done with her and I don't do that much in the grand scheme of my own story other than have her be foreshadowing for a decision later. BUT

I think based on general interaction, I can say that Alarak and Ji'nara are friends.

Like, good friends, before they even know what friendship is, and in a bizarre way, Alarak protects her, and I think she might do the same even though she acts like she'd sell him to satan for a corn chip (who wouldn't).

So, in Ascension, what sticks out to me is that he makes sure at every point that she Will Not participate in the Rak'Shir between Ma'lash and Nuroka. This is partially, obviously, because it's too many variables for him to handle in a situation where he is already overwhelmed and unsure about making decisions on the fly, but the "do not follow me" line as he runs out into the pit is a double-edged thing here. He doesn't want her to follow, obviously, but the fact that he thinks that she absolutely would and has to emphasise such says that there's a bit of a dynamic here.

She's clearly younger than him, she's more plucky, and for all the jabbing about her one day succeeding him in-game, she's quite comfortable where she is, at least from my perspective. While I always didn't particularly like the flip-flop between "look at how strong I am, Alarak" and "one day I'll kill you, Alarak", thinking on it, I honestly believe it fits. She might want some praise from someone who she might view as, at least in part, keeping her safe through her own ascension. It's never clear how long they're the link above and below on the chain, but I think he either dragged her up when he orchestrated the massive Rak'Shir OR she fell under him afterwards and a long time had past.

(maybe she reminded him of someone or vice-versa, but that is ENTIRELY speculation lol, it could also just be that he thinks she's a valuable asset and treats her as such)

I always thought that Alarak payed more respect to Ji'nara than, say, Ma'lash or Nuroka would to him. There's a sort of grudging respect that is just between the lines of their interactions that reminds me of a big brother trying to keep an annoying little sister from getting into too much trouble.

(just to note that I don't think they're related personally after having a bit of a toy with it and a think about it, but the dynamic is there)

yeah

– How shall you serve me? W-what are you d-..

– Tonight you will serve me, my Highlord~

...or usual life of tal'darims

[jinarasuggestion]

Jinara, they mean 'Tsundere' which means they're claiming you feel romantic feelings towards the Highlord, but act like you don't, or act like you think hes stupid or you hate him instead, etc. It is disgusting and I'm sorry you have to go through that.

Finally, one of you who agrees that these claims are disgusting and annoying. Perhaps I should make a statement out of the broken bodies of those who keep insisting that I have any such feelings towards anyone.

I have no need for sympathy. If you wish to redeem the rest of your kind... Share a compendium of knowledge on this "Thresh" the Highlord has heard of. It seems to be a Nexus creature, and thus the supplicants are finding insufficient information on it.
