#Consort

[davekat-sucks]

With Act 1 ended, if it's not just Jane's life she would steal, Meenah could probably steal the lives of EVERYONE. Kanaya, Jake, Rose, Jade, and all living beings like Carapacians, Consorts, humans, and trolls on Earth C. She could steal their life to either keep herself immortal on top of her RIng of Life or extend Karkat's own life. Of course, if Karkat does something to piss Meenah off, she very well could take his life too. After all, Candy is a DOOMED timeline since the recounts and events that happen to it are all written down by Calliope (that's assuming if it's not a shitty fanfic of hers).

Don't forget that Meenah has reached god tier

So there is a chance in Hometsuck 2/Beyond Canon, she can use her god tier powers to take life, likely Jane Crocker's after defeating here. Either she would use it on herself to extend her life or give that extended lifespan to Karkat Vantas because he is a mutantblood and would die soon of old age.

From then on, she would steal life from anybody that opposes her once she takes over Earth C. There probably are Jane haters that want Meenah to take her life and give it to Karkat and Karkat would happily ask her to keep extending his lifespan so that there is a chance he could live long enough to continue being with Dave. Must be nice to have fronds with benefits, eh Kar?

The Northern Consort used to be a spy, don't you know? A good one, too...only the heavens know how far that particular web goes, but it benefits the Emperor's reign, and the Empress is found of him, so who are we to judge, eh?

[+200 Better Lore points!]

Empress Shen is finally here, my God! How difficult was this particular beast, eh? It took me, like, five or six redesigns! The balance between feminine and masculine really kicked my ass here...I think I did pretty well, if you take in account everything. I'm proud of myself, so all of you must be nice to me.

The drama is set during the warring states period, my inspiration was mostly from how they costumed the Queen of Zhao, the dowager Queen of Qin and Haolan when she finally becomes the Queen of Qin. They are all gorgeously dressed, I recommend watching it PURELY for the costuming and also the scheming women.

The design was immensely inspired by the Chinese drama The Legend of Haolan. The main character just has this impeccable Shen Qingqiu face-card, every time I see her I just think 'Yes, Shen Qingqiu, for sure.' Here's her, for reference:

For Shang Qinghua, things were so much easier, though; I watched some episodes of Story of Yanxi Palace and was struck by inspiration™. He was so easy to draw! It's all very Qing dynasty inspired, it just fits him, I think.

It took me so very long to draw the jewellery and the embroidery in both of them...I admire the people who actually do metal and needlework. Heroes, all of them.

The pearl makeup is one of my favourite ancient Chinese makeup trends; I just had to put it in. It's a very fancy form of Huadian, which is where you draw forms, mostly flowers and other pretty things on your face using paints, powders, pearls, gems and glued flowers, and it was popular from the Tang dynasty onwards. The ICONIC pearl Huadian was popularized in the Song dynasty because it (shockingly) represented modesty and elegance.

Shen Qingqiu's greenest ornaments are made out of imperial jade, which is characterized by this vibrant emerald green colour and great translucency. It's also the most expensive type of jade ever.

The! Nail! Guards! Make! A! Comeback!

Shang Qinghua's ornaments are, in the other hand, made out of pearls - for elegance, wisdom, and wealth, and blue jade, for serenity, peace of mind and self-reflection. Mobei-jun buys all of his husband's jewellery with intention, for sure.

They're such big gossips omg, nobody is safe.

Jadeite Cabbage with Insects - a piece of jadeite carved to look like a bokchoy with a locust and a katydid hidden amongst its leaves. Originally a gift to the consort of the Qing Emperor, Zaitian in 1889, it is housed in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan.

"I hereby swear. To every living being, and every living soul. Now comes the age of our eden. A thousand year voyage guided by compassion. Beginning here, love encompasses all. No living thing will be denied, no deed censured. I am ready. To embrace the whole of it. Let us go together. Radahn, my promised consort."

Headcanon- Arthur’s first kiss was with a servant, it’s was harsh and rushed like he was ashamed to be feeling these emotions, Arthur’s last kiss was with a servant, he has successfully united Albion and the land is prospering. He retired the crown over 15 years ago and is lying in bed with his manservant (really his consort but they never fail to joke of his previous status). He knows he’s fading and knows that Merlin will grieve, as he feels his body start to wain and the light growing dim he asks for one last kiss. Everything fades and he is gone.

i haven't read the og homestuck and epilogues for a while so maybe it's been shown or implied but like, where is John's first-adopted salamander wizard daughter Casey???? Did they just dump her somewhere after the comic ended?

She ends up in the battleship with John and Jade where she becomes part of the consorts and Carapacians playing the Ghostbusters MMO. Neither John, Jade, or Davesprite acknowledge her existence. Rose may implied to miss her as she named a library of Cantown after her. Upon entering the Alpha session, Casey would gain powers to raise the dead Consorts of said Alpha Session and would join with Jane and Jake in fighting The Felt in [S] Collide. But after that, no one knows what happened to Casey after said timeskip to Earth C's civilization. Most assume she dead. No monument given to her in the Consort Kingdom either. Not like Jake, Dirk, or even GCatavrosprite are connected to her like John and Rose. And neither John or Rose acknowledge or remember her presence in either Candy or Meat. The writing team and the fandom accepted that the consorts are NPC and mindless animals. They are unimportant like the Carapacians who aren't Wayward Vagabond, Aimless Renegade, Peregrine Mendicant, The Midnight Crew, and the White/Black King/Queen. Why should anyone care about them?
