so before this year is over i wanted to do a little artist vs art thing so in the middle is me and all of the outside art is things that I drew during 2024 :D

Hakuei:

-Hakuei find her s/o's work ethic incredibly admirable. Very rarely does she seem to catch them idle, always on the move elsewhere within the palace to carry on a task elsewhere. They remind her greatly of Koumei. Especially, when she catches them dozing off elsewhere.

-She'll immediately wake them up upon catching them, directing them to go rest somewhere more comfortable. Despite this being a normal occurrence her s/o still seems quite flustered every time she catches them sleeping. "Maybe if you ensured you got the proper amount of rest, you wouldn't doze off in such strange places."

-She's memorised the look her s/o makes when they suddenly remember something they forgot. To the point where she doesn't even grow startled when they bolt upright at random mid-conversation. "What did you forget this time?" Only shaking her head with a smile when they quickly dart off to rectify their mistake.

Pisti:

-Pisti will straight up tell her s/o they work too much. "Seriously between you and Ja'far it's a wonder that there's any work left to do." She's the type to drag them away from work to go and do something fun. Or to make sure they actually get a reasonable amount of sleep.

-If she catches her s/o sleeping in a strange place, she will tease them about it. There was an incident where the fell asleep at the dock and got loaded onto a ship leaving the port, they woke up in another country. Pisti, has never let them live it down. She cried with laughter when they confessed it to her upon their return.

Even the first sketch of her final design shows her as being an older woman instead of the same age as Alibaba and I’m so mad we didn’t get this tbh this is why it’s morally correct to age up all the generals

Yamlikha and Masrur dated once, seemingly to spite Sharrkan specifically. It lasted about a week before Ja'far told them to stop because it was "disrupting the peace" (Sharrkan wouldn't stop crying to him about it)

Not many people from Sasan moved to Sindria due to cultural and religious customs. So Spartos struggles to find company outside of his overbearing colleagues. He did remain friends with the squad of enbies Sharrkan and Pisti introduced him to.

Sinbad used to wander the streets of Sindria in disguise. Keeping tabs on the general vibe among the citizenry. Sometimes joining the fishermen if he was feeling nostalgic. Until he got too busy for that and resorted to eavesdropping with Zepar's power.

The recipes Ja'far teaches to the palace cooks are the ones Rurumu taught him. It's his way of keeping her memory alive at the heart of Sindria. It’s appreciated by those in the palace that were around when she was.

Sinbad enjoys sparring with the military Generals on occasion and uses it to blow off steam. Or at least he does with Hinahoho, Sharrkan, Spartos and Masrur. Drakon refuses to spar with him or anyone else. Sinbad seems to intuitively understand his reason, but everyone else finds it disappointing.

Pisti taught Aziza to fake cry in order to better garner Sharrkan's sympathy.

Yamlikha installed magical locks on her office door to keep people (Pisti and Sharrkan) from barging in and asking her to heal their random scrapes and bruises when SHE IS NOT A HEALER and there is an ENTIRE MEDICAL WING FOR THAT.

Drakon hoards due to his dragon instincts, but doesn't realize that he's doing it. This usually manifests as him bringing home some shiny nicknack he saw in a shop and immediately forgetting about it. Sahel resells most of it when things start getting crowded. She never mentions it to him because she finds it charming and knows he'd be embarrassed if someone pointed it out. At least they’re stimulating the economy.

Pisti's roc lives in a roost carved into the wall of the canyon that runs behind the palace. It’s name is probably something like Charlene or Margery. She takes it home every year to see it’s mate.

It is widely known that the seeds of the papagoreya fruit must be removed before export or they will leech poison during shipping. In reality this myth is perpetuated by farmers and sindrian merchants in order to keep a monopoly on the fruit. Foreign visitors often brag about getting to taste the fresh fruit “before the seeds are removed.” This conspiracy was Ja'far's idea of course.
