the telvanni dork i've been talking abt wanting to make. hi this is relmona (relmon) for short and he's quite insufferable. he is so sucks. thing is he's pretty good at being a telvanni for being relatively young (he's 48) so the councilors just told the nerevarine to take him with her for the time being. he's killed two people to advance he's getting a little too ambitious for everyone's sake. he can also get real annoying, and him being out and about gives everyone a bit of momentary peace.

more about his outfit under the cut

dork wears 3 layers in vvardenfell. i like to think the elevation that comes w being a volcanic island would make vvardenfell cool and i also imagine sadrith mora to be pretty windy as well. he's from necrom and although necrom is placed atop hills and mountains, it probably isn't as breezy as sadrith mora. relmon isn't used to the windiness. also doesn't have a good cold tolerance either.

tried to put several fungi motifs on his outfit, like the curly lettuce hem to be reminiscent of oyster mushrooms, the pants and arm warmers to look like a mushroom's gills, and the sash-thing to have the telvanni symbol-inspired pattern. also the pauldrons are detachable bc i dont want to have to stress about it every time i draw em lol. might even remove it entirely, i just wasn't sure if his outfit looked dunmeri-enough.

his outfit also isn't very utilitarian, those suspender-like ribbons could be tied together to act as a utility belt, but other than that it's a very lounge-y look. comfortable for adventuring, but that's it. which doesn't become a problem for him, still, bc lystor being the person she is happily carries his stuff for him and it barely affects her encumbrance.

man. thistle was really like a little novelty to delgal's family and a tool for delgal and nobody really saw him the same way he saw them until Yaad, who never really got to have a good relationship with him at all.

Middle aged elf/dwarf woman who likes her personal space struggles to sleep. Only reason she’s not kicking them off is because she heard that both guys haven’t slept well in ages. Someone please just get them a teddy bear.

i've been rotating what i guess you could call a theory (or an elaborate hc, whatever works) in my mind for a week or so, but i believe that while the demon is shown to be able to devour the lord's memories alongside desires there were dissociative tendencies already present in both mithrun and especially thistle that made it particularly easy.

the former didn't have anyone he felt safe being his real self around, fully internalizing his turmoil in favor of a likable façade; the latter couldn't remember his birth name, or otherwise was captured/sold young enough to be unable to learn it—which in turn makes me question how little he seems to dwell on this! we know he thinks of his parents as having abandoned him, and that he's uncomfortable with the idea of belonging anywhere else by virtue of his race, but what about the years he spent as an orphan? someone taught him how to play instruments; even if he didn't know common when he first arrived at the castle, surely he'd have spoken up eventually if he already had a name. this makes me believe he's suppressed most of his memories from his childhood, if not all, and considers his life as having only begun once he was brought into the golden kingdom.

this, i think, ties into his denial irt delgal's betrayal: not only has his sanity majorly decayed after a millenia, but accepting that his brother is dead—that he abandoned him—while wishing for thistle's own death would mean shattering the already brittle foundation he had been standing on all those years. of course he had to forget. how else was he supposed to go on?

I just love them both so much!

It was my first try drawing them without much reference, that's why rui looks a bit weird

[burning-thistles-bt]

DarkxCherry is literally my favorite ship in the entire Burning Thistles universe. So I have to ask... Will we ever see kits from them?

its been so long that i had to look at the family tree to actually remember the answer 😂

and the answer is....

currently no and probably not!

ik kits would be really really cute and all, but not every relationship is defined by whether or not they have kits! neither of them are particularly interested in having kits of their own, plus Cherry would be a firm "im not having kits unless we are emotionally, financially, economically, socially, physically, mentally prepared to have kits," like she wouldn't wanna risk having kits and bringing them into a bad home/environment

and also she doesn't wanna have kits lol

[colatose]

there are people who don't see thistle and king delgal as siblings??????
