::Edit:: Colored version here: ([link])

So, here's my take on the BelBel relationship (that's not canon, alas) in Return to Eden ([link]) by ::iconmirusama::.

Let me explain, ne? This is info that's in the character profiles, so I don't think they're spoilers...

*takes a breath*

Beleth, the dark-haired one in front, is a dream-walker, but since he only has one white eye, the people whose dreams he visits cannot remember the dream they had while he was there, nor the fact that he was there, at all. If he had two white eyes, they'd be able to remember...

So, Beleth's been through a lot of shit in the comic, before the current timeline and now, too, and, well, he seems like the type of character who's always suffering alone. The one person whom he seems to be the most open with is his old (childhood?) friend Belphegor (who is the one behind him), but even with him, he seems not completely open.

Belphegor, who appears much more open with other people than Beleth, also has a lot of emotional baggage that he doesn't seem to tell anybody, but Beleth seems to have a deep understanding of him that Belphegor seems to value highly. But, Belphegor seems the type who would want to understand Beleth and reciprocate the comfort that Beleth gives to him in same. Indeed, he seems the type who would -need- to comfort Beleth in return so much so that it would tear at him that he couldn't, despite how close they were.
So, yeah... That's what that little bit of prose in the pic comes from. And, the pic, too, I guess. ^^;

So, yeah... That's my take on BelBel. Oh, and hey! My second shonen-ai pic in my gallery! It's about time. ^^;

BTW, Miru-sama, no wonder you don't draw them with their wings out more often. Damn, Belphy's wings were tiresome to draw. *passes out* Also, I'm thinking about coloring this... Not sure, I kinda like the black and white effect... What do you think? ^_^

I like the messy hair and her countenance. Nice wings too. :)

HGRFZL!!!

*cough* I mean... yeah!!! :heart:
And once again, I'm in awe at how you manage to 'read' those characters. You got everything right! It's amazing :heart: :heart:

And yes, wings are a bitch to draw. Now imagine you have to draw Ariel, with three pairs of 'em.
JOY!

\^_^/ Thanks for the lovely fanart, m'dear :heart:

Thanks! In the comic, Beleth's hair -always- looks like he just woke up, which, given his character, is understandable, I guess. But, his bed-head is so damn CUTE!!! ^_____^

Ariel... three pairs of wings... Not to mention all those incredibly detailed dresses you put her in... *dies at the idea*

But, seriously, I got them right? Whee!! That means all my little fan-girl imaginings are that much less unlikely. ^_______^ I totally have this huge idea for a fic about why Banshee was able to hide Lethy away for so long, and why Belphy didn't tear apart all of the underworld to find him. I'm not sure if I'll have time to write it, though... But, at least now I know I have their initial characters right, even if what happens isn't canon. ^_^

*hugs* Thanks for letting me have my way with all my fan-girl fantasies! ^___^ BTW, I went and colored the pic, cuz I was bored. I still kinda like the black and white, better, but Belphy's wings look kinda nice... >.>... AND they were just as much a bitch to color as they were to draw. *le sigh* ([link])

Yeah, I definately prefer the subtle, hinted at shonen-ai to in your face yaoi. I mean, it can be good, every now and then, but I like to be able to theorize about possible relationships, instead of having them pointed out to me. It's so much more fun for my fantasies. ^_^

:iconmirusama: (the creator of these two characters) does really awesome wings. You should check out her stuff. It's pretty. ^_^

Well I've been reading her comic for several years now (I think...at least one...no concept of time)... Now it is inexorably attached to my soul. I came to this pic through the tag! Also, we stalk each other. *nods*

But actually I do need to browse her DA like so many others... 'cause she has stuff here I haven't seen aahhh!!
