#narroc

Soooo, I headcanon that Bellroc can change their body and this time I wanted to draw them with a woman body ^^

I ship Bellroc x Nari and Bellroc x Skrael, but for some reason I have a harder time shipping Nari and Skrael (yet). I think of them as as close as can be, but not in a sexual way. Though I'm definitely not opposed to it.

Another gouache practice, on half a page of my Hahnemühle A5 sketchbook. Gouache is hard but fun.

today was supposed to be my fill for ordershippingweek's missing scene prompt, but i've been super crunched lately and overextending myself this week—i might be able to get something out if i pushed, but i know i wouldn't be happy with it. look for it later this weekend, instead! what else are bonus days for >:3c

Prompt: October 28: AU Relationships/Characters: Bellroc/Nari, aka Narroc

A humble offering this day. A moodboard and a drabble! This is an AU in which Skrael doesn’t exist. It’s only Bellroc and Nari and the precarious relationship between fire and nature.

“So in love was the god of fire, that they swore their flames would never touch the living earth.”

The old woman stops talking and stares off towards the edge of the forest, veiled in darkness, as if the tale ends there. The children hold their breaths, until the youngest, fearful of succumbing to sleep, asks: “and then?”

“And so touched was the forest god that they took the shape of a person.”

(from headcanon game here; thank you @skraelofthenorthwind for the ask! also SO MANY OF YOU asked for bellroc i feel so perceived (delighted) 😂)

1: sexuality headcanon

[human before the invention of currency/sexuality voice] queer as a three-dollar bill

(aware that the term/equivalent would be applied to them. defiantly adoptive of it for this reason. my version of this character might not have ever felt [attraction for someone with their gender], but mainly bc they understand their gender as "a bellroc," i.e. their unique sense of themself. at the same time: they'd probably think anything they do—romantic or otherwise—falls under the rubric of "i think something very lgbt just happened to me," for much the same reason.

but when they look at skrael and nari, despite all their differences, they very much feel: ah. same dramatic goth magic nerd hat)

aside from (again) the extremely obvious (the one true pairing, if you will) i'm going to give an honorable mention to @babblish's take on nari/bellroc? he's developed it so tenderly, and so carefully, i've gotten quite fond of the thought of such a well-executed take on them. 🥺

3: brotp

aside from the obligatory obvious answer (nari and skrael) + some miscellaneous ocs? (meryneith... orz)
