Janai and Amaya for @a-certain-elf. I must admit I hadn't watched any of The Dragon Prince but in order to get a feel for the characters I watched a few clips and it's definitely made me want to start the series! So a big thank you for the suggestion :).
in reference to this post about the very gay king james, i’m now thinking of the janaya equivalent of like, lux aurea having some law against elven-human marriage or something, so janai just pulls a king james and keeps promoting amaya within her court. a perpetual “you don’t like my girlfriend? too bad, she outranks you now” type of thing. amaya is delighted.
“I am not raising soldiers. I am raising kids, good kids; and when they grow up it will be up to them to decide what they do with the powers they were given,”
thank you for this beautiful ask :) <3 i tried to make this as accurate as possible as someone with siblings. feel free to use.
baiting them into asking them more questions and it working
^like “yeah… that one question is really hard. it took forever to get the answer…. but i’m glad i did…. sigh. anyway…” “………………. which question?”
“if you come into my room one more them i’m literally going to beat you up.”
“have you seen my notes?” “why would i steal your notes when i’m literally smarter than you.”
“it’s exhausting being around you.” “do you mean that?” “stop making me feel bad omg. fine i take it back.”
“i’m gonna kill you.” “MOM!”
one sibling whose love language is touch and words of affirmation and the other literally cringes at touch
“i love you, you know.” “blegh.” and the other one is holding their collar aggressively like “SAY IT BACK.”
“i always felt like i was being compared to you, you know? i thought i needed to be better.”
older x younger sibling
^ the older one always like “grow up” and the younger is like “you’re literally pushing retirement please leave me alone.”
“i am not your competition.” “then why are you acting like it?”
and i’d like to add that siblings are siblings no matter how old. there no expiration date for tattling and being immature when it comes to sibling bonds
when they finally grow and mature in a sense that they can communicate way better and talk things out
PSA to everyone writing siblings; no one refers to their siblings as “big bro/little bro.” please don’t do it.
