Description "Let's get one thing straight, new girl. Nightwing put ME in charge of this stealth mission, so you follow MY lead."
"That doesn't give you any right to talk down to me!"
"And that still doesn't change the fact you're the rookie here and I'M the senior Titan. We don't need to get killed because some newbie with a magic space ring doesn't know what she's doing. You don't have nearly as much field experience--"
"Says who? I'VE trained with a member of the Justice League, AND I've faced the leader of War World and survived, THANKS to my training with Mr. Stewart. Don't you tell me that I have no field experience next to you, hot-head!"
"The NAME is HOT SPOT."

I really should be working on something productive right now. Like finishing up the last two drabbles of my trade with Alex. Or working on my trade for Jinxy. Or finishing this sketch I've started for Zura's birthday gift.

So, it occurred to me after lurking around several of the Teen Titans groups that I often see a lot of OCxCanon couples where the OC and the canon are hugging/kissing/being lovey-dovey/acting slightly suggestive/talking together/holding hands/are just around one another being happy/etc. And while I always enjoy seeing the sweet side of an OCxCanon pairing, I always enjoy seeing the rougher aspects of development for the couple as well. And...I...I don't feel like I always see enough of that in the Teen Titans groups. (Not as much as I'd like to see, anyway.) So I figured I would break the mold just slightly and post this, partially to show my OCxCanon couple NOT being lovey-dovey and instead arguing, as well as give everyone a bit of a slight look ahead at how Nuriyah and Hot Spot shall meet in "Alien Starlight."
Aaaannd their first encounter does not go well. Nuriyah's usually quiet and reserved, even when she's taking flack from other people for any reason. However, that first fight with Mongul [being the verbose, irritating chatterbox jerkwad that he is] eventually prompts Nuriyah to argue back more often. And as she and Hot Spot are put on a mission together for the first time (and yes, as always, I blend canons, this time it involves both "Teen Titans" and "Young Justice", thanks to being able to work out some timeline stuff, so it's Nightwing that assigns them together,) Hot Spot makes it quite clear he's unhappy and doesn't want to "baby-sit." Eventually Nuriyah gets tired of his attitude, and the two get quite the initial rocky start with one another, bickering and fighting through most of what is supposed to be their stealth mission. But by the end of it, they manage to work together and eventually get the job Nightwing assigned them done, gaining a greater respect for one another. They become awkward friends who refuse to admit to having a crush on each other, and eventually that grows into something more.

But yeah, just figured I'd show them arguing, because I feel like I only ever display that fluffy sweet side of their relationship, and there's more to them than that.

IΒ enjoy that you have so much story behind your artwork! It'sΒ a lot ofΒ fun getting to know each individual piece through the character interactions, especially since there's some OC's that I'm not yet familiar with. Helps me get a feel for them, you know?

And may I just say, I LOVE how you drew Hot Spot here! He looks so irate and cute!

Β Thank you, my dear. That actually means a lot to me to hear, primarily because I'm very proud of Nuriyah out of all of my OCs. I feel like she's probably unquestionably the best one I have. And if anything can help you get a better feel for her, then I'm happy to make it or point it out to you.

This is probably the best I've ever drawn him, to be honest. And I love his cranky, bad-tempered face. He's precious~

Of course, sweetpea! It's my pleasure, and thank you for sharing all your amazing talents with us! I really like this picture, it just captures so much attitude and conflict, yet has a definite relationship building; you can see the spark there, if you'll forgive the pun. XD

I'll have to look into Nuriyah, being that you seem so fond of her in particular. (And because I really like Hot Spot! ) I enjoy seeing people so excited about characters. It's infectious, and it gets me excited to learn more. Which is why I've never been against hearing spoilers. Do you have bios or drabbles for Nuriyah?

You have no idea how red my face gets when I read one of these lovely reply comments of yours.
And thank you for seeing such chemistry in this little drawing. Art's never been something I've been particularly confident in, so knowing that such emotions and chemistry are still visible in this drawing.

I feel like she's probably my favorite of my OCs given that I plan on putting her through more crap than probably most of my other OCs combined. (Oooh, so I'm not alone in that, huh? He's easily become one of my favorite Titan boys in recent years.) Oooohhh, we're kindred spirits then, my dear! And I posted the journal just for that! ;3

Of course! I'm surprised you don't have more of a following, because truly, your characters are so sweet and endearing! I'm not confident in art either, so I appreciate where you're coming from, but I sincerely feel you have a knack for expressions and character interactions; you can feel how much you love these people here!Β 

I know this is long over-due, but I thanks for posting a brief bio on Nuriyah, as well as your other OCs! I admit, I have a tough time keeping up with everybody's characters, so this makes it much easier for me to reference back to. Keep up the outstanding work!!

Ahahaha omg I love relationships that start off this way. xDD It's really interesting to see them evolve and how their opinions on each other change over time. C:

Oh ho ho, so I'm not alone in loving relationships that initially begin with some hostility! It delights me to hear this! And I agree with you completely; there's something sort of special about watching the characters grow and have the relationship in turn sort of evolve from that initial butting-of-heads.

Edi-Raven In reply to Yoru-the-Rogue [2014-08-27 06:56:47 +0000 UTC]

You're definitely not! It's just so cute to see characters fight when you just KNOW that they're gonna end up dating afterwards. And that indeed is some great character development. That's why I rarely ever go for the "love on first sight" type of thing because THAT RARELY EVER HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE. So yeah, developing feelings over time is much more fun haha.

I was literally laughing my lungs out at the last part:
"Don't you tell me that I have no field experience next to you, hot-head!"
"The NAME is HOT SPOT."

For some reason I think he wanted to curse her out after that, like "ITS HOT SPOT BIT*H" XD

How curiouuuuuuus, I thought it was love at first sight between them Β ! O.O
But I totally agree with you on here, sometimes WE NEED to see some argument between two characters, just to flush out all the sugar from our veins, you know ?
Seriously, I find it's a great start for them. I sure hope you'll do more about it soon !

*chuckles* You probably weren't the only person who thought that, so no harm done!
Oh definitely! Don't get me wrong; I love sweet interactions between cute couples, but sometimes it just helps to see more variety in their interactions too! (And yes, sometimes we do just need all that sugary-sweetness flushed out of our systems!)
^^~ Oooh, thank you so much, Gem! I'm definitely going to do more with this in the future, you'll see!

Even when they're fighting they're adorable! Poor babies, such a rough start! At least she didn't grab the kitchen hose & spray him & then try to make a run for it. Unlike Erin xD

I can only imagine the rest of the team standing there like :l and then someone going "I bet you ten bucks they get together". XD

X3 Aww, thank you MJ darling! And hey, sometimes that's just how things end up playing out, you know? But yes, at least she didn't grab the hose and spray him down.

What's the betting that the person who says that is Nightwing, and he's just grinning like the dork he is as he says that.

Deaku [2014-06-13 03:40:02 +0000 UTC]

Quite a rough start to their relationship I must say. Though I'm gonna have to side with Nuriyah on this one, being trained by Stewart and having dealt with Mongul would definitely put her beyond rookie status. Newbie to the team maybe, but definitely not a rookie ^_^

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Yoru-the-Rogue In reply to Deaku [2014-06-13 03:59:23 +0000 UTC]

Definitely so! And to be honest, I don't think I would have it any other way. Cute as they are, it was my intent from the beginning that their relationship is initially somewhat rocky.
True, that! Definitely a newbie to what it means to be part of the Titans, certainly. But I doubt any teenager could be deemed "just" a rookie if John Stewart's the one teaching you combat training. Add in the fact that she manages to survive a fight with Mongul and she's definitely beyond just being a rookie. (Mind you, she doesn't really win that fight, at least not anywhere near on her own, but she does manage to come out of it largely unharmed, and not without embarrassing Mongul in the process, either.)
