Xelloss is really important. As a member of a demon species that lives mostly on suffering, he's maybe not even really a he. He just is. I think he was the first time I was aware of how much I liked characters that looked like wimpy clueless weirdos but could actually kill you in a glance. He was also really good at drag.

I did a lot of original character stuff that spawned from Xelloss, most of which centered on a character who went through 3 genders to be where they are now. The idea of genderless characters made me absolutely obsessed. It's still a part of me today!

Xelloss is where the last part of 'ladyyatexel' comes from, in the same way Sailor Star Healer is the origin of the 'yate' part.

Xelloss is part of a series of drawings I'm doing featuring characters who left a big mark on me and Gender.

Filia Ul Copt x Xelloss (Slayers TRY) - Ma Meilleure ennemie

I know what I said about sharing and it stands despite my occasional faltering. I just felt like sharing this with fellow XelFi enjoyers. I had a vision of these 2 the moment I heard the song. Lyrics below ⬇️ (I love especially "La pire des bénédictions/ La plus belle des malédictions")

Je t'aime, je te quitte, je t'aime, je te quitte (I love you, I leave you, I love you, I leave you) T’es la meilleure chose qui m’est arrivée (You’re the best thing that’s happened to me) Mais aussi la pire chose qui m’est arrivée (But also the worst thing that’s happened to me) Ce jour où je t’ai rencontrée, j’aurais peut-être préféré (The day I met you, I might have preferred) Que ce jour ne soit jamais arrivé (Arrivé) (That this day had never happened) La pire des bénédictions (The worst blessing) La plus belle des malédictions (The most beautiful curse) De toi, j’devrais m’éloigner (I should distance myself from you) Mais comme dit le dicton : (But as the saying goes:) “Plutôt qu’être seul, mieux vaut être mal accompagné” (Rather than being alone, it’s better to be badly accompanied) Tu sais c’qu’on dit (You know what they say) Sois près d’tes amis les plus chers (Be close to your dearest friends) Mais aussi (But also) Encore plus près d’tes adversaires (Even closer to your adversaries) Mais ma meilleure ennemie, c’est toi (But my best enemy, it’s you) Fuis-moi, le pire, c’est toi et moi (Run away from me, the worst, it’s you and me) Mais si tu cherches encore ma voix (But if you still seek my voice) Oublie-moi, le pire, c’est toi et moi (Forget me, the worst, it’s you and me) Pourquoi ton prénom me blesse (Why does your name hurt me) Quand il se cache juste là dans l’espace ? (When it hides right there in the space?) C’est quelle émotion, la haine (What emotion is it, hate) Ou la douceur, quand j’entends ton prénom ? (Or sweetness, when I hear your name?) Je t’avais dit : “Ne regarde pas en arrière” (I told you: “Don’t look back”) Le passé qui te suit te fait la guerre (The past that follows you makes war with you)

Xelloss and Lina

[the-bar-sinister]

May I ask about 💚 and 💭 for the dark selfship game, please? (Honestly I just wanted to ask all of them, but I didn't want to simply flood you, I'll leave some for others to ask.)

Ahkahdkask! <3 flattery will get you everywhere ;) <3

💚 What do both of you want from the relationship? Are either of you getting it?

When Griff thought about what she wanted from Xelloss, later, when she knew what he was, and had some vague idea of why he had come to her as a child, she decided that what she wanted from him was twofold. Firstly, what she wanted was to know him– to know him better than any other being on the red world knew him, aside, perhaps, from his master Zelas. She wanted to be able to truthfully say that she alone knew the most of what was beyond the smiling face of the mazoku of secrets. 

And secondly what she wanted was his acknowledgement. She didn't mind being used, but if she was to be used she wanted to be of worth, of value. She needed, perhaps pathologically, to be the most useful of all to him. To be, if not needed, then missed when not at hand.

What Xelloss wanted from Griff was, for a very long time, completely inscrutable, even to himself. What had begun as a simple task, one of many given to him by his master, had changed somehow. There was some form of attachment. A catch. A pull– something left that tugged when he tried to move away from it. And for a long time, as a mazoku, a being of destruction and pain, he had no idea what to call this feeling of attachment besides that he wanted her to belong to him. That he was proud of her, as his pupil, and his tool, and his toy. 

The day he faced near destruction for her was the day he understood that it wasn't that simple, though there was still a long time before he understood it completely.

💭 What scenario do you return to when you think about this selfship? How does it make you feel?

Griff had started to dwell on what it might be like to be turned by Xelloss, into a mazoku. She knew that it was possible– though it was very rare.

Most humans who were bound to mazoku were bound simply through the so-called 'pledge of immortality– a ghoulish kind of half-humanity where the human's life was maintained by the mazoku's power. But it was possible, too, for a mazoku to fill a human with their power. To empty out the humanity of their soul and replace it with something else in a way that would make the human into a mazoku subordinate. Griff wondered what it would be like to die in Xelloss' arms and be reborn as something wholly inhuman. Something wholly belonging to him.

One day she would find out. It would eclipse every daydream of the idea she'd ever had.

Remember that pic of the shipping dynamics for person with morally ambiguous and powerful shape? I mostly thinking about this. (Stork would be a great source of negative emotions. If not the paranoia, then for the pessimism)
