Description Well, I had hoped to like the finished product more than I do, but....oh well, I suppose. Merry Christmas, Brandi!

To those of you who don't know, these two are Lakor and Anihyr, respectively, the first yaoi couple I ever drew/wrote for (OCs of my own creation). And...their story was about as cliche as you could possibly get (they were a cat and fox demon with elemental powers going to a martial arts school for the magically gifted; yeah, it was that bad).

Lakor also slept with pretty much every handsome male in the story, and was more "feminine" in every stereotypical sense of the word than any female I know. Anihyr was his best friend and the only guy he didn't sleep with (until they FINALLY got together...but that did actually take a while). Go figure.

Sounds like your average-at-best yaoi harem reversal. I call it a harem reversal instead of the reverse-harem because apparently the reverse-harem is just a harem (guy surrounded by lots of eager girls and somehow doesn't die of blue balls before the end of the first season) with genders/sexes inverted. Whereas a harem reversal would be a guy/girl who regularly does get with various eager partners, except for the one person they are so-very-obviously destined to put the "Make Me Crazy" ring on the finger of. At least, that's how I will describe it. So, naturally, it is unequivocal fact now.

Oh, but you already had said it was cliché. And on my laptop, your artist notes line up such that a comma appears over the "E"! So it actually looks like you had typed the correct spelling with an accented "E".

Oh and the drawing's nice as well. I should probably think of a present I'd like, now that it's after Christmas…

Heh, yes, you should.

I could have spelled it right, but I don't know how to type an accented "e" into the box directly and I'd therefor have to open up my word program and type it up and then copy and paste and that was more hassle than I felt like bothering with since I know it's supposed to have an accent and you know it's supposed to accent and no one but you and I probably care and I didn't care enough to fix it so.....there you have it.

Yeah, I know; I'm one of the few people who have an OS that has a keyboard shortcut that's genuinely easy to perform for it and actually knows how to do so. If you're using a Mac, it's the Alt/Option key and "E" at the same time to place an ´ in; if you put a vowel/whatever set of characters can be accented in after it, it'll replace the accent with the accented character: É.

I think…maybe just a couple holding each other by the fireplace or something. Maybe. I'd probably take until next Christmas to think of something, so maybe just that. I just would really like their emotion — oh and any gender/sex pairing of any characters you choose — their emotion to reflect…trying to think of how to put it.

Erm…sort of like a deep longing? Wanting to just feel the warmth of the other person? If they let go of each other, that's it and they're lost forever? Something like that? Making any sense at all? Question mark? You think I'm still being serious?

I just don't know how difficult that'd be to do in a piece of art.

Used to have a Mac, years back, but now back on a Windows. v.v (Don't judge me!! >.<) But yeah.

Well, I know that feeling...I'm not sure if my artistic talents will lend to making that actually happen and show up on paper....BUT, hey, I can try. And if nothing else it'll still be a couple by a fireplace.

Yeah…I figured I shouldn't try to be greedy or overambitious on something like this, it's just the first time I've had someone draw something for me as a Christmas present; much less the first Christmas present I've gotten from someone on the Internet. I could've sworn I was despised in most corners of this place, but I guess not.

AnihyrMoonstar In reply to Roy4242 [2010-12-27 01:50:02 +0000 UTC]

Wellll…I could go say something awful like "You might very well still be/probably still are despised in MOST corners of this place…" (since I hardly constitute "most" people and certainly can’t be said to represent all of them…)…but that would be kina/sorta mean? Or maybe not. Since you know that already AND it doesn't change the fact that I don't despise you most of the time…okay, no, I mean, in all seriousness I don't despise you at all…unless I'm having one of those moments where I despise anything and everything anyway…and then it's really not your fault, so…it doesn't really count. I don't think, anyway.

Besides, those moments are rare. I'm a pretty ridiculously happy person most of the time, come to think of it. And I am grateful for that.

But yeah. If I thought I was awesome I could go all "Don't worry, be as ambitious as you like - I can draw ANYTHING!" but…I'm not that delusional. But I can promise to - cue corny optimistic comment accompanied by thumbs-up pose and stupid grin, possibly with sparkle stars in background for added effect - try my best!

v.v

No promises on how long it’ll take me to get around to it, though. (But it will happen.)

Did I ever wish you a merry Christmas?

I like to imagine that it's just a circle; there's no corners that I can hide in where little pockets of "you like me, you really like me!" are waiting for me to jump into. I'm just bouncing off at various angles and I'll collide with people who hate me, people who hate me, people who hate me, one person who sorta gets what I'm about from the little amount of cryptic information I give to them, people who hate me, people…

I do not think you had wished me a merry Christmas. But you did just then. So thank you.

AnihyrMoonstar In reply to Roy4242 [2010-12-27 12:11:19 +0000 UTC]

In my defense, I only used the word "corners" because you used it first.

不用谢。(You said it in German once. )

Roy4242 In reply to AnihyrMoonstar [2010-12-27 13:06:08 +0000 UTC]

Still, when I said "corners" it kinda works, because I was saying "all corners," of which a circle can still be referenced appropriately.

I tried Japanese first in the translator and got back "Metabolic waste."

That did not seem like you were trying to say that. Especially because I don't think I would ever have known how to say that in German, let alone said it to you in conversation before.

What's that in German… Bitte, was it? Yeah, that sounds about right.

XD It's Chinese. It means "You're welcome." (Well, literally it means "No need to thank," but yeah.)

Metabolic waste.....wow. Yeah, I laughed. That's....nice.

Oh, I did figure that it was in Chinese after that and I got the correct translation; didn't I mention that? I could've sworn I'd said that already…

I see ... the origins of your pen name too, it seems?

Yup. I've always liked his name and I figured that one of the kick-off characters to my journey through yaoi was pretty fitting.

Nice - it makes mine seem a bit bland ... 'Hey! I have my head in the clouds half the time! I'll put that before my name!'
Thus 'Dreaming Maya' was born ... and isn't going away any time soon.
Oh - Merry Christmas!

Haha, well, yours makes immediate sense to people, though - mine only really has meaning to me (at least until one gets introduced to my old, old OC, but really not many know his significance).

And a very merry Christmas to you, too!

Beautiful! Really Christmasy! There's mistletoe and I bet that'll they'll kiss.

I'm really happy to hear you tell more about your OCs, even though they were created years ago and are, well, cliche. Maybe you should draw them more, since hey, I bet they might become absolutely awesome now (in a way, they are already are absolutely awesome!)!

AnihyrMoonstar In reply to unknown20troper [2010-12-25 13:57:38 +0000 UTC]

Heh, prolly so. Well, by the time they got that cuddly, yeah, they'd definitely be moving on to kissing after that.

And you probably will see more of them. Just because despite their cliches I do still like them in many ways, and you can get away with more cliches in drawings than in writing (and even if I re-wrote it now, I'm sure I could make it at least decent, lol). ^^

Hee, thanks. I know....it was actually really fun at the time. (And I never posted online, only shared it with my friends, so of course we all thought it was awesome, omg1!1!!...and I was blissfully safe from all the ripping and tearing of flames that I probably would have gotten if I'd posted publicly. And yet, they still have a soft spot in my heart. )

Thank you!! I love it, and it's great to see a picture of Lakor and Anihyr again. The colors are so perfect for those two.

Καλά Χριστούγεννα, Sara!!!

It's definitely cool seeing them again. I loved their story, and I loved all the pictures you used to have for them.

Chinese is so much cooler looking than Greek is. Merry Christmas, and happy new years!
