Another pic for Bind. I'm probably driving fangirls up the wall. nn;;; I promise I'll finish the first chapter soon!

I wanted Zelgadis's face to show surprise more than concern, but oh well. It may look like Xelloss needs a hug, but really he needs an energy bar.

May do a more detailed digital version later.

If it's Xel/Zel yaoi, let me remind everyone that Mazoku shouldn't be capable of feeling emoptions as strong as love T_T But Xellos, you are so BEAUTIFUL! Ignoring the implications of this picture, I will fave it for him and him only xD Although Zelgadis is really cool as well. He just lacks that... evil smily face side.

Bah, I don't see why not. Even if it hurts them, humans also feel emotions that hurt themselves. And things like intense devotion and loyalty are definitely things mazoku should be able to feel...love comes in a lot of forms. There's happy-shiney-flowery love [that I never see in real life] and there's regular love with its ups and downs and then there's really twisted, dark, disturbing love like serial killers feel.

In the story, it's less about love and a lot more about devotion...and being forced into it.

[I don't see why yaoi by itself should imply love since just, say, sex doesn't require love at all.]

Well, okays. Everybody has a different view! I myself believe that Xellos in his full glory when depicted as a mischievious, manipulating, omnipotent and omnipresent entity who does not feel attachment to anyone but himself- it makes him seem so much more powerful if he doesn't have a dependence on emotion or other people as well as their views upon him. Friendship and love are not a weakness for him- he would not put his life on the line for another and wouldn't hesitate to kill someone close if he felt need for it, and he wouldn't feel any remorse either. That is what makes him a Mazoku. ;3]

Well, it's more LOYALTY than friendship and love, etc. Seeing mazoku servants as bound by loyalty to their masters, it's a real factor in their lives, something that, if taken far enough, can affect everything from how they think to how they act. Xelloss has a fair amount of devotion to his master, I think, so the story is about what happens when that devotion is...bent.

Whether he feels love or not is entirely up to what fanfic I'm writing and what whims take me, but in general, I don't think Xelloss has to not care about someone to kill them without blinking, or thinking. I think he's just loopy enough that, if he felt love, it still wouldn't matter one bit when it came down to life and death. You can love and still not be dependant on a person. Or you can love them more when they're dead. Assuming you're some kind of psychopath.

...Which I'm betting Xelloss can easily qualify for.

xD Right. I love discussing Xellos with people <3 (xDDD)
Well... the killing someone close without hesitation or regret thing was proven in the Slayers anime, where he admitted it himself as he was explaining to Filia why he had been promising Valgaav to kill Lina if he'd join the monster race. Lina forgave him although she knew, cause Xellos is a monster, after all- it's his nature. x3 But in fanfics, Xellos is cool no matter what happens. I just like it more when people keep him in character. I've read some pretty messed up fanfics, where Xellos would act like a total fruit and become much more expressive, excited and flirtous-little-girl-like. That's just kindof sickening... =__=;;

~irk Jan 18, 2006

Well, what Xelloss tells Valteria and what he'd actually do are possibly two different things. I think it's pretty obvious that when he walked in there he had every intention of just killing Valgaav, and I'm also sure that he knew Valgaav wouldn't take up his offer.

...I dunno. Xel giggling behind his fan in his cute little red dress. That's um...that's pretty flirtatious little girl like. I think he has a very broad range of crazy, he's not just limited to aloof and collected.

*Mythee Jan 28, 2006 Hobbyist General Artist

Yuh, he does tend to have too much fun with girly costumes, like that time he wore an apron with a pink frilly dress, no less xD Haha. Now that I think of it, maybe that's why so many people think he's a fruit o_o;;

Bah, anyways, Xellos wouldn't put any of his time into "personal matters"- his devotion lies to his master, his mission, and himself only. That's how it should be. But i admit that it's fun having him get involved with other kinds of things in really good fanfics... like Modern Day I. Gawd I love that one. <3

~irk Jan 28, 2006

You know, in the end, I think Xelloss can do whatever the hell he wants.
