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
sketchbook jaheira and khalid
Jaheira having a small case of baby fever is now added into my brain <3
Hazel is my favorite (no I don’t have a Druid bias why would you think that?)
iiiiii am working on That Long And Terrifying Alternate Timelines Fic as we all know and in the process of writing last night i had to come up with kids for jaheira/khalid, and only one of them actually shows up in the fic, which is so fucked up that i had to create a quick and fun visual aid for all of them. my cursive is questionable in places so here they are in order of age :)
rion, harper, a little blunt but actually very sweet despite appearances (she's the one who shows up in the fic !!!)
hazel, druid, inherited a lesser version of khalid's stutter, very very very much like her dad in first-glance temperament but with a lot of her mom's marshmallow core. so basically the softest girl ever
elowen, bard, i feel like every family needs That Inexplicable Artsy One, really looks up to a family friend who never stopped singing ...
cyprus, adventurer, pretty much just a carbon copy of jaheira, genuinely professionally annoying, khalid is always calling him "the sweetest and most perfect boy" because he is Pretty Much Just A Carbon Copy Of Jaheira
liora, on god i truly do not believe jaheira/khalid would have children without having at least one of them be some sort of professional criminal
ennir, not TECHNICALLY a wizard because he's still working through a lot of issues with his stutter (which is as intense as khalid's) but he's got a real passion for the weave & a very compassionate dad who really wants to support him in an attempt to figure it out, SOOOO
and as a postscript: a snip from the fic itself to contextualize why there are so many.
Baldurs Gate Locations: Ramazith's Tower
Hailed by Volo as the Sage Extraordinaire, and by many grumbling parents of impressionable young women as a bloody nuisance, Ramazith Flamesinger was a wizard of great renown. Living in Baldur's Gate, this figure went missing some time ago. It was rumoured that he grew romantically involved with a nymph, and idle gossip tells that they ran off together to live in some strange peaceful place, but gossip is not so reliable, and no one really knows what became of him.
NOOOOOO 💔💔💔
tumblr hates khalid/jaheira 😟
You can be so sassy it’s so fun

Ok… we’re getting there, we’re getting there… need to ponder more
I won’t lie I have no clue what her necklace is supposed to look like so I just made it an amulet thingy
They hate to see me slaying 💔💔💔
I know Orin is a changing so I’m pretty sure she lacks the mind reading ability that doppelgängers have and I don’t remember her having the mind reader ability which may be a good thing because if she knew what Khalid looked like she would be going CRAZY
Oh, you easily got around my trap at the dancing axe? Time for psychological damage
Obviously jaheira would win but come on that’s a premise right there
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!
Low effort meme because that’s what I’m here for
I’ve never actually made something like this before so it was interesting
