Alright, gonna leave it right there. I'm a few days late but whatever! Here's Syllian and Xah'jo for mermay this year :>

[thenotsolittlelady]

not dead, just a little burnt out. but I can still draw

[thenotsolittlelady]

After the holiday stress and all the work to set up my new computer I finally sat down to draw yesterday <3 I'm hoping to find more time and motivation to draw this year, let's see how that goes!

[thenotsolittlelady]

And they... were roommates?

I did it, at last! Xah'jo and Syllian kissing! Happy Pride everyone!

[thenotsolittlelady]

Don't think I'll get to finish this before May is over so I'm posting the lineart for now! My Mermay piece for this year featuring Xah'jo and Syllian :>

[thenotsolittlelady]

Sketched the bois today cause I just wanted to see them together <3

Maybe I'll draw this properly cause it looks like a god damn mess rn but I'm honestly just happy to have drawn them at all

[thenotsolittlelady]

Sketched my babies in ballpoint pen cause I missed them and I love doodling with pens!

[thenotsolittlelady]

They actually are in love

[thenotsolittlelady]

Run, Xah'jo!

Oh oh! OC Questions! Ok so uh for your OCs - 3 to Naye'fi and 13 + 31 to Syllian? Aaand for you: A) for any character of yours :3

Oh yay!! Thank you so much for the ask!! ; v ; I already answered number 3 for Naye'fi actually so... I'm gonna expand a bit on my answer! :> Since Naye'fi never leaves Sezahjen's side she tells him (but mostly herself, let's be honest) bedtime stories at night. Sezahjen did a bit of storytelling when Naye'fi was just learning how to talk. She asked him for stories, and he tried. Until Naye'fi slowly took over heheh Her imagination is much greater than Sezahjen's and she can get carried away telling fantastical stories about magic and heroes and knights and princesses. Funny enough tho these stories also ended up helping to ease Sezahjen's nightmares. Naye'fi doesn't realise, but Sezahjen is quite grateful for that :> And for Syllian: 13) What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color? He prefers gold and dark blue, he believes it compliments his ginger hair and I'm inclined to agree with him heheh But I'm surprised how well he looks in other colours too, like... pink for example?? He's so pretty! ;; A ;; "I look good in every colour, darling. I'm sure everyone can see that~" 31) Who are they the most glad to have met? Hmmm... Let me think, that's a bit difficult to answe- Xah'jo. It's definitely Xah'jo. Syllian loves a lot of people and falls in love with a lot of people, but he's never met anyone like him. There's something about Xah'jo that absolutely enthralled him from the moment they met. It started with professional curiosity that turned into an appreciation for a fellow thief and eventually... Xah'jo became his new home. After being cast out of his family home for not following strictly in his father's footsteps he felt he could finally, truly be himself with Xah'jo. He treasures that more than anything.

Uhm heya, I have a few more oc questions :>

For Xah'jo 38. What memory do they revisit most often? For Mannah 20. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so? And for Yeria 7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

Yay, more questions!! Thank you!! &lt;3 Xah'jo 38. What memory do they revisit most often? Xah'jo doesn't think about his past very much. He doesn't believe there's a point in doing so and he would rather focus on the present and the future. However if he does revisit any memories, it's the ones from his time with his mentor. He remembers the lessons she taught him, the wisdom she passed on and the advise she gave - and the day he betrayed her. It's his most painful memory and even though he mostly made peace with it now, he sometimes wonders how he could have done things differently. Mannah 20. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so? Hm, that's a difficult one, I'm not sure actually. Let's ask her! Mannah? - Well, I don't think that's very easy to answer definitely. There's a fine line between romantic and platonic love I believe and it's down to each individual to define where that line is. Many people seem to believe that romantic love is the ultimate form of love or the ultimate goal and disregard the love that can exist between family members or friends and I find that... rather sad. I can't say I've felt romantic love before but I have met plenty of wonderful people who I love very dearly. So I suppose my answer is: it's up to you to figure out what romantic and platonic or familial love mean to you :)

Yeriya 7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling? Being still pretty young (at this point in the story) I think Yeriya doesn't experience a lot of nostalgia yet and if she does it's mostly triggered by things that remind her of her life in night elf society in Darnassus (I'm keeping it vague, cause I'm not very well informed, I'm sorry!). They don't make her feel good either, they're rather painful memories ever since the burning of Teldrassil and the events that followed. As time goes on however, they probably don't make her as sad anymore and as an adult she enjoys thinking about her early days with Xah'jo and the group: her first attempts to learn other languages (than Darnassian), the first outfit Xah'jo got her after he took her in, her first "toy" sword (and her subsequent lessons in the importance of dodging)... Those she remembers fondly :>

Thank you again for these questions!! <3 Super interesting and they really made me think and I hope I didn't make up too much nonsense
