ID: an 8-panel sketched comic of characters from the goblin emperor, parodying a love live fan comic. panel 1) cala is shown from the shoulders up, but low enough on the horizon to appear to be kneeling, with a rueful smile and a speech bubble containing a screenshot of text from the book that reads “Oh, damn. We did so hope we would get here first. Serenity.” 2) in a much simpler style that remains for the rest of the comic, beshelar covers maia’s ears, glaring with his mouth a large circle shape and with a drawn out “gasp”. 3) beshelar drags maia, whose face is completely neutral, out the door of the room, his own expression unchanged and still gasping. 4) the door is mostly closed but beshelar’s head pokes through with a short “gasp.” 5) maia, drawn in slightly more detail, is seated at a table writing something, looking regretful and saying “damn.” 6) a mostly empty panel but beshelar is in the bottom left corner looking over his shoulder with the same expression from before. 7) still looking behind him, face unchanged, beshelar walks with balled fists towards cala in the background who looks blissfully unaffected. csevet tries to intervene with raised hands. 8) beshelar is still looking over his shoulder with the same face, but kneeling with his fists balled in the front of cala’s robe where cala lies on the floor, still smiling blankly and raising two shruggy “ok” hands. end ID
ID: a sketch of Cala from The Goblin Emperor, a thin elf with round glasses and a messy braid. He is shown from the shoulders up, but low enough on the horizon to appear to be kneeling, with a rueful smile and a speech bubble containing a screenshot of text from the book that reads “Oh, damn. We did so hope we would get here first. Serenity.” end ID
there was an excellent analysis post about maza’s robes (go check it out it’s really good), and the additions supplemented it with resounding evidence of cala’s weird girl energy. i tagged it with, “he would wear crocs”
literally begging and pleading for someone to draw beshelar going WHAT ARE THOOOSE at cala’s crocs
so here you are
ID: two digital sketches of characters from the goblin emperor. 1) cala athmaza standing feet apart, hands behind his back, and deret beshelar next to him, shoulders hunched, knees bent, pointing down at cala’s feet. cala is a tall lanky elf with knee length robes and circle glasses. he’s wearing crocs with socks and has a smug expression. deret is a slim elf with a topknot and padded leather uniform. he’s flushed and looks distressed and outraged. he’s yelling “WHAT ARE THOSE?!” both have sashes with a little kitty face on them. 2) maia drazhar and csevet aisava from the waist up, holding a sheet of paper between them. csevet is a short elf of average build with multiple rings in his ears. he’s holding a pen in the other hand and is looking down at cala’s shoes. his ear is twitching and “judging” is scribbled next to him. his expression is reproachful. maia is a tall, thin goblin-elf with thick curly hair piled with pearls. he is wearing a cape and circlet and is also eyeing cala’s shoes. his expression is dubious and he’s saying, “oh…those are certainly um…unique.” end ID
ID: a digital drawing of Cala Athmaza and Deret Beshelar from The Goblin Emperor. Cala is in the foreground drawn from the elbows up, and he’s crossing his arms. He is a thin elf with a long face and a long nose, and his hair is in a loose braid tossed over one shoulder. He wears circle glasses and robes that cross in the front with a nohecharis sash pulled across them. His expression is indignant, mid-speech. Deret is in the background, drawn from the waist up, bent over and turned away slightly. He is a muscular elf wearing padded layers and his hair is in a topknot. He is shielding his face with one hand and his other arm is in a sling. He looks mortified. Next to the drawing is a screenshot of a tweet by @icejjfiishh that reads: “y'all saying I’m gay because I jacked my bro off? His arm was stabbed wtf?” End ID.
after winternight
(I feel the need to clarify, I don’t think he’d have any objections to this accusation, but this was too funny not to do)
“But we,” with a sudden access of ferocity and the plural to include Cala, “are your first Nohecharei.”
There are too many characters in this book that I love. This is why I’m not allowed to read. Deret Beshelar and Cala Athmaza. Nohecharei to Edrehasivar VII.
