Description It always struck me as fricking adorable, the way Simon starts out half a head shorter than Nia and ends up a full head taller than her. There's something really visually appealing about comparing them at both ages.

Knowing how enthusiastic and affectionate Nia can be, I can't help imagining her cheering him on about the outgrowing process, rather than being pouty about it...

...and so this image was born.

(Yes, their costumes and her hair length are slightly "inaccurate"--this is meant to be taking place sometime during the timeskip, so I got juuust a little creative with their outfits.)

Ten points if you can guess why this unassuming little picture is a monumental step forward in my quest for epic digital-drawing skills.

This is so cute. I've always loved the height difference factor between them as well. xD

Thank you! It's definitely a charm-point of the relationship. (Come to think of it, I ship a lot of couples where the girl was taller either in adolescence or forever...Edward/Winry, Maka Albarn/Soul Eater...)

It is exceedingly exciting. Galaxy-throwing robots for the win.

This is cute! Lol. Poor little guy looks all awkward. I'm thinking I should starting checking this series out! It looks cooool!
Erm, I guess that it was done entirely via computer? Maybe? Can I still get a cookie?

You're close! So you may have half a cookie.

Simon is INTENSELY awkward. But if there's anyone capable of putting him at his ease, it's his Nia-love.

Well, half a cookie is better than no cookie! Lol.
I love awkward characters! They're always so cute! And at least he has someone to balance it out for him! That makes it a bit better.

Nia's sort of a floaty-brained moonchild, especially as a kid, but she's endlessly effervescent and friendly and good-hearted and sweet, and very devoted to her shy, hapless dorkboy. They're one of those couples that just feels incredibly good and right.

They sound like quite the interesting couple! Nia sounds like quite the harmless, loveable character as well!!

*grins* I highly recommend them. They're romance done right, and they made me very happy. ^^
