He's Not Mad..... Just Disappointed...

I have finished cooking

Here she is! Khalid’s mom + a baby Khalid

I think she turned out really pretty and I like her even if this was a struggle lol

I’m not very good at designing outfits so even though I had the parameters of wanting to be light weight and have light colors to avoid overheating as well as a head piece to protect her face and scalp from the sun I struggled to make brain work. I wanted her to look older than she ultimately ended up looking but she is an elf I suppose… but I still want her to look older

Something I think about is Khalid’s mother

Because in the first game in Khalid’s background she is not mentioned at all, and in siege of dragonspear she is mentioned as ‘not thinking much of him’ but to a lesser extent than his father did who we all agree was a POS

1. What was she like?

like her life probably sucked a lot.

She was an elven concubine in a country that is pretty much devoid of any other elves, and so she was seen as exotic, which is probably why Khalid‘s father had her as a concubine in the first place.

She would always be below his actual wife and I won’t get into all of the horrible things that could’ve happened to her prior or during this time

And then on top of everything, she has a illegitimate kid with the dude!

I doubt Khalid’s father or his wife (mother of Khalid’s half brothers) was particularly interested in raising him, so it was probably all on her.

So now on top of her life already probably sucking, she has this kid in a world that is guaranteed to be hostile towards him because he is considered lower by default.

There’s no way she could protect him from that even if she did try.

Maybe there was a combination of resentment of having another thing on her plate to take care of but also guilt about having this kid that she feels is guaranteed to have a miserable life

2. Was their relationship purely indifference and neglect or was there some love?

Is it possible that she walled herself off from him so that when he was inevitably hurt it didn’t hurt her as much? Like self protection so she only had to feel her own hurt

Were there good moments? Where she would protect him or comfort him in ways she felt she could?

Maybe she held some hope that because his father was of the merchant class Khalid would get further than she could only to have those hopes crushed within her lifetime

3. How does Khalid feel about her?

Maybe he is a bit overly forgiving of her actions because of he knows her circumstances (Which probably annoys Jaheira lol)

Maybe there’s some resentment for not being the mother he needed but he feels guilty about having those feelings

Maybe she just fades into the background of his childhood

There’s so many possibilities because we know nothing about her so we get to fill in the blanks!

Just dropping in to thank u for ur amazing khalid art!!! I literally bought the first 2 games bc bg3 got me interested in jaheira and I went down a rabbit hole and found khalid and now Ive latched onto him of all people lmao

He’s criminally underrated so thnk you for basically building his entire tumblr feed 💕

thank you! tripped into the hole exactly the same way, friend. couldn’t believe he wasn’t being blorbo-slammed against the walls!!! but that’s on the mend. the khalid feed has dedicated warriors few, yes, but ever growing in enthusiasm. so let’s never give up, khalid simps...

Low effort meme because that’s what I’m here for

I’ve never actually made something like this before so it was interesting

Video is from Casa Di remix of “I am on to see my husband”

Jaheira smile :)

I found a save file of mine in siege of dragonspear right before the ruined temple of bhaal, might write down all of madele’s dialogue for every option we’ll see

Minsc-hamster or Boo who cosplays Minsc?
