~ IT'S SYLLIAN EVERYBODY ~

This one took me ages! Mainly because life got in the way. And also cause I don't know what I'm doing and I had to wing it more than I'd like to admit I have been thinking about my new ideas for Syllian's design and decided to draw a more up-to-date version! I actually really like the result and I still think Syllian is very pretty ; v ; I love him so much!

I’m not quite happy when I painted portrait, but I miss Eric, and I wonder what Dahliana’s father looks like. So I draw him. His name is Syllian.

WIP INTRO — CANARY HOUSE [ WIP PAGE | TAG ]

GENRE: New Adult Post-Apoc

SETTING: USA

POV: Third Person Limited

CONTENT WARNINGS: death, violence, dark humor, general dark themes.

SYNOPSIS:

Maria “Masha” Solnova believes she is right. She believes she is right about her choice to join the City Guard. She believes she is right in thinking that is what her brother would have wanted. She believes she is right about the fact that the enemy beyond the wall is a force of evil that she is obligated to destroy to protect those that she loves. She believes that her brother’s death was caused by that enemy.

She believes these things because that’s what she’s been told, and she has no reason to question it. No one has any reason to lie to her. Her city is safe, its president landing favorable blows in the war, and its people - while largely impoverished - are content with the fact that there is a wall between them and the battles that rage outside.

After joining the army following her brother’s untimely death, Masha begins to see the darker side of her city. Those fighting beside her in the Guard are children, enlisting to avoid either poverty or something more nefarious, her superiors refuse to let her see her brother’s file, and the war between the Outlanders and those in the cities is escalating in a way that seems suspect. 

Before she can question these things further, a freak accident during a live training exercise outside the wall finds Masha in the hands of the enemy: the very Outlanders she has been trained to kill, led by Syllian Marquette, their prince. With their situation calling for them to work together, at least for the time being, Masha must unravel three things: why Syllian is claiming he’s not her enemy, why he didn’t kill her the moment he had the chance, and why he knows her brother’s name. 

THE SHORT VERSION:

Canary House features enemies to reluctant allies to [REDACTED], complex moral dilemmas, a diverse cast of characters, all of your favorite YA tropes but upgraded for a new adult cast, plenty of Star Trek references, dark humor and witty conversation, and thinly veiled political commentary. 

EXCERPT:

Masha patted the girl twice on the back, struck not for the first time with how young she was, certainly too young to wake up to blood and shit and gunfire. But the government had been desperate and Talia, who had joined seven months ago on her seventeenth birthday, even more so. Three years prior they’d lowered the enlisting age to seventeen, advertising food and board for those that joined up, and by the next month they had more trainees than they had room for. The officials did not ask what they were running from—though it was certainly something—because as long as they had someone willing to fight in the president’s name, they were in no position to question their background. The same rules applied within the ranks of cadets that had joined—no one asked for anyone’s story unless they wanted a new bruise on their shin.

They had all been running. Mouse from the orphanage, Marcus and June from the streets, Luke from the cops, Tam from her mother and Talia from her father, while Masha herself tried desperately to run from reality. When her squadron enlisted, they got protection. Immunity. When Masha enlisted, she got a chance at revenge, to settle scores, to take from those that had killed her parents, her grandfather, her brother. 

Chess, while a government employee himself, had objected from the start. Masha’s mother surely would have sided with him and begged her to stay. But her brother, with his name carved in marble where the rest of the soldiers important enough to be remembered were impersonated by gravestones, would have urged her to don the uniform and follow his path. 

So she did. 

She enlisted after her brother’s funeral, penciling in Solnova, Maria on the forms while everyone still remembered the neatly printed handwriting of Solnova, Dimitri who had passed through the same training halls years prior. Maria honed her skills, proved her worth, and tattooed a black sun where her neck met her shoulders, identical to the pendant Dimitri had worn to his grave. 

Three years later she was the captain of her own squad, a perfect mirror of what her brother had been before his death: trustworthy, innovative, and good with a gun.

From anon:  Based on how you skimmed over their other interactions, I was starting to wonder if you were secretly repulsed by Syllian.

nah I’m just a lesbian

More seriously it’s a combination of me not being super into what is at least for now a pretty archetypal “boy and girl antagonism romance”, me feeling kinda weird about the prospect of getting invested in romance between children, and me just not having a whole lot of notable thoughts on the whole thing.

Syllian is a cute portmanteau though.

"hanging out on winter vacation :)" this is the main party from a d&d campaign I'm in. from left to right is haedes (high elf), syllian (also high elf) and Justine (half-orc). but i wanted to draw them as how i imagine they'd look going to Hogwarts as humans :). the art is mine the two hufflepuff characters are not

[onceydiez]

No estoy bien,me pongo a imaginar que pasaría si yo mañana ya no esté acá,acaso muchas personas se lamentarían por las palabras que me han dicho Se sentirían culpables? Acaso los nuevos amigos que fui conociendo, estarían tristes quizá? Más tristes de los amigos que tuve hace años? Porque la gente engloba todo lo malo que uno hace? Me pregunto , si mis padres lamentarian no haber hablado conmigo Me pregunto ,si habrá amigos que recaten lo bonito de uno? Me pregunto porque hay gente que lastima con palabras englobando todo lo malo y no los buenos momentos? Si yo ya no esté acá mañana ,serían tan hipócritas al estarme llorando... Quizá diciendo que fue su culpa haberme dicho cosas que según para ellos en su momento todo era mi culpa,pero cuando ya no esté,digan que fue su culpa Lamento haberte dicho cosas , creo que todo da vueltas no? Pero soy muy débil para esto Eh valorado cada momento de lo hermoso que es estar en este lugar, pequeños momentos Hay mucha gente,tan alegre, que al parecer al verlos se ven que la vida la esta tratando bien,que tienen buenos amigos, que tiene una hermosa casa y familia que la quiere, pero que pasa cuando esa persona se enamora y llega al punto de no controlar eso? Se puede hacer daño o puede ser feliz ? Que pasa si esa persona encuentra a la persona indicada, que llega al punto de no saber controlar ese amor? Hay tantas caras falsas demostrando ser felices, siendo por dentro solo personas infelices,ahogándose en su propio ser Hay muchas personas que solo necesitan ser amadas,o a lo mejor, sólo necesitan un abrazo,aquel que realmente siente que un abrazo conforta su ser, aquella persona habrá entendido el valor de un querer Que bien se siente abrazar no? Ese sentimiento tan real ! Tan puro!

No one's here to stop me so I'm posting a sneak peek of the drawing of Syllian I'm working on~

... This one's gonna take a while, I have no idea what I'm doing

[thenotsolittlelady]

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.

[thenotsolittlelady]

Naye'fi - 3) How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

Veez - 12) How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?

Syllian -  32) Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? 

Xah'jo - 35) How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?

Sezahjen - 38) What memory do they revisit the most often? 

You for Mannah and Yeriya - E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

Ayyy!! Thanks for the asks! Naye'fi 3) She's a big fan of bedtime stories actually! She often tells them to herself (and Sezahjen) tho, since she always sleeps close to Sezahjen and he's not very talkative. In later years she probably sings to herself a lot and daydreams about her favourite stories :> Veez 12) He always carries his gun or a bottle of liquor, that's usually good enough hahah Syllian 32) Not just one probably! He likes to talk and has a whole bunch of stories ready to tell at all times! And a poem or a song. He will probably end up singing a ballad he wrote. He'll definitely end up singing. Xah'jo 35) He can be brutally honest and will at best react with indifference and at worst will judge his friends harshly if what they're excited about sounds stupid to him. However, if it's something they're 100% serious about, he won't hesitate to drop everything to support them. He won't admit it tho. Sezahjen 38) He doesn't revisit any memories. His past was quite traumatic and he avoids ever thinking or talking about it. He is being haunted by his memories tho, especially by the one of his father's death and his subsequent banishment from his tribe and family. E) Mannah is a sweetheart who gets along with everyone (who isn't a total asshole) so yeah, I'd assume we'd get along too! (Actually I want her in my life so bad, where's my orc wife plz?? TT A TT) Yeriya is much more judgemental tho. She's headstrong and stubborn and I would not wanna have to deal with her when she was a child! As an adult she might be less "stubborn" maybe, but I think we'd still annoy the hell out of each other! xD I love her tho!

[thenotsolittlelady]

"Well, darling, here I am~"

Look at my pretty boy all dressed up for a fancy night out! ;; A ;; But who's gonna take him? Who will be the gentle(wo)man to take his hand and give him a kiss? :c
