Was trying to like. Imagine how a step-mother Penelope/step-daughter Athanasia AU would work. Claude would either never know about Penelope’s affair (or at least does not suspect about the pregnancy. Somehow) or would be so blinded by grief after Diana’s death that he would just pathetically accept Penelope back.
Obviously she could not pass Jennette as Claude’s so ..?? She would probably huh. Keep her as her forever dirty little secret or eventual pawn to use (maybe she is passed off as countess rosalia’s daughter?).
Her relationship with Athanasia would depend a lot on whether Athy is still reincarnated or not but I guess Penelope would either roll with Claude’s mistreatment of her (and probably have him disinherit her because she is, after all, his low-born bastard) or play the kind step-mother for politics (and the rest would also depend on whether or not they do have children together later on. maybe Anastasius using her as his black magic baby machine fucked her body up). Just imagine. The drama
Anyways this is what inspired the brainworms lol

Villain!Athy and Villain!Jettie happening at the same time, but instead of the story being about them being. Yknow. Evil. It's about them trying to get Ana and Penelope back together through increasingly convoluted means. And! It can tie into their motivations, i.e Jennette wanting a perfect family and Athanasia trying to repay her debt to Ana through any means possible.
Meanwhile Penelope and Anastacius are just like. Awkwardly sitting there completely oblivious

I think that Penelope, when she became empress, wore dresses of dark shades or colors that perfectly harmonized with Callisto's outfits at official events and holidays. Judith, as a child, wore more innocent and soft shades in dresses.
And if I remember correctly, there were even rules according to which minors (more precisely, those who had not yet officially celebrated their debut in society) were required to wear certain pastel or soft colors. And those who passed the debut could wear dark and more "adult" shades in their clothes.
