A still frame from the animatic I'm working on. The japanese text is just a lyric from the song～ 😺

I never really share my Ward fanfiction ideas, but how fucking funny would it be if I swapped Goddess and Lord Ruler between their universes.

Lord Ruler just appears in the middle of a lunch date with Amy Dallon.

Goddess finds herself trapped in the oldest man cave of all time, with Inquisitors looking at her

"Any assessment of the emotional component of the reconciliation of [Empress Matilda and Geoffrey of Anjou] remains speculation: the chroniclers are silent on the issue of whether [they] grew to love, hate, or like each other. We do know, from their movements and actions, that Matilda and Geoffrey eventually arrived at a businesslike arrangement with a united viewpoint toward the dynastic, geopolitical goals that had dictated their marriage in the first place."

"Matilda and Geoffrey effectively transitioned from a Divide and Rule model to a Collaborative Union from 1144 onwards, in which they worked together throughout their marriage to ensure rulership over their territories and gained their rightful lands, as well as ensuring the inheritance for their children. Matilda and Geoffrey’s political partnership can effectively be argued as the most successful through applying different models of rulership. Ultimately the Plantagenets regained Matilda’s inheritance through Henry, conquered Normandy, and produced several male heirs."

Impress the Empress

[titsthedamnseason]

for some reason trying to work out the timeline of these books is headache inducing to me it feels like rocket science

Re: Crocodile as the Missing Kuja Empress-theory

I do wanna throw it out there quickly that we know Shakky retired from being a pirate and the Kuja Empress 42 years ago at the age of 22, while Hancock took the throne 13 years ago (age 18), meaning the Missing Empress' reign/era lasted for about 29 years

And while we don't know how long the Kuja might've been without a ruler between empresses (like do they have a system set where they know who will take the throne next Immidiately After the previous one steps down/dies/etc, or might they spend years without an empress until they find a new suitable ruler?)

We do know that when Shakky retired, Crocodile would've been four

So unless Crocodile became The Kuja Empress at Age 4 (or unless the Kuja were completely without an empress for almost a decade and then gave the throne to a literal child), then there's no way Crocodile could be the Missing Kuja Empress

The first ref sheets for Ruler's Reach Luz (casual outfit) and King! This was originally gonna have Eda here as well but I couldn't find a solid final design for her so take the siblings ever for now.

[ohmyfairies]

Nothing infuriates me more than in The Abandoned Empress when Tia is literally given the divine right to rule by God itself and still ends up marrying the fucking rapist crown prince and allowing him to rule as Emperor instead of bloody revolution and marrying her knight friend and becoming Emperor herself

[au-mashup-party]

The Parents! Or should I say the previous rulers of Xirustale! I finally finished their designs! for those were wondering, these are the parents of the triplets, or better yet the Triple X

I’m working on the new Xirustale blog that way we can move the questions over there instead. It will be the official blog for this AU and everything I worked on for it will be re-blogged to that one.

I haven’t forgotten about the Triple X’s cousins so I’m gonna work on their designs sometime soon.

He likes to spy on his evil son once in a while hehe

[avernusreject]

So I just finished reading Masked Empire for the first time. Before this, I always got Celene and Briala back together cause I thought they were cute together. But now? Ughhhh fuck Celene man. Now I have to go back and rethink my choices

[iniziare]

Now does that make Guizhong an illuminated beast? Probably not. I think it's more likely that she is actually a Seelie, bearing the imagery of a phoenix due to Celestial association with birds.

I'm listening to Ashikai's video on Guizhong again from 2023's Lantern Rite, which is the first time since I've personally also gone rabid on the intense depth of Guizhong's moon references, the details of the Glaze Lilies and how similar they are to the Nilotpala Lotuses, and most importantly what that means. And listening to this again (and for those who happen to be curious, here's a link to her video which will have the above quote make sense, and I've timestamped it in case people want to skip past the run-through of Guizhong's lore and get to the extra-interesting stuff), so much just... clicks and works. I genuinely do think that Guizhong, at the very least, was a Seelie. But the implications of this, and the implications that I think might go beyond this. /shakes fist immensely, vigorously.

It's so warm-- I can't be coherent. I'm not even the Pepe Sylvia meme, this is the Hoyoverse: Guizhong edition, of Brian David Gilbert trying to explain Kingdom Hearts.

imperial emperor | empress

three hedoxine gender systems in the vein of the prince/princess/royal systems by @pupyzu!

imperial ruler system genders are genders related to being an imperial ruler of [x]/an [x] imperial ruler. they are connected to [x], [x] aesthetics, imperial ruler aesthetics, hedonistic aesthetics, and pleirhood. these terms should be named as 'impe{x}' or 'imp[x]' - for example, a kitten imperial system gender might be called 'impekitten' or 'impkitten'.

emperor system genders are genders related to being an emperor of [x]/an [x] emperor. they are connected to [x], [x] aesthetics, emperor aesthetics, hedonistic aesthetics, and masculine pleirhood. these terms should be named as '[x]ror' or [x]eror' - for example, a kitten emperor system gender might be called 'kittenror' or 'kitteneror'.

empress system genders are genders related to being an empress of [x]/an [x] empress. they are connected to [x], [x] aesthetics, empress aesthetics, hedonistic aesthetics, and feminine pleirhood. these terms should be named as '[x]ress' or [x]eress' - for example, a kitten imperial system gender might be called 'kittenress' or 'kitteneress'.

pleir is a term for a hedoxine person, and the top three stripes of each flag are taken from the hedoxine flag!

to use these templates, place them over a ten-stripe flag template and color in the five blank stripes. typically, terms in these gender systems use the same color on the two stripes surrounding the large middle stripe (here's one example and another), but they don't have to.

flag id: three flags in a nine-stripe format, with the fifth stripe being twice as large as the rest. only the first, second, third, and fifth stripes have color, while the rest are transparent. the top flag's stripes, in order, are very dark indigo, dark reddish-pink, gold, and cream. the bottom left flag's stripes, in order, are very dark indigo, dark purple, gold, and cream. the bottom right flag's stripes, in order, are very dark red, dark reddish-pink, gold, and cream. end id.

The Universe's Being pt.2

The divine part did not like how cold their other half was, and was staring at Death with a very cold look, but Death wasn't phased in the slighest as he had expected this to happen. Everyone there knew that the storm couldn't last forver as it would soon destroy the planet, so a comprise was made. the divine half would stop the storm, and would get their other half back, but the catch was that the mortal half could not remember anything and had to be reincarnated. If something interferes with the reincarnation in anyway, then the mortal half's life would be exteremly bad that life. Everyone agreed to this and the divine half stopped the storm on the now light blue water planet and the mortal half glowed and dissapeared, going into their next life. The divine half then glowed and dissapeared, following their other half, leaving an egg with gems on it in their place as a place where they could rest if there is no life filled planet for them to reincarnate on. The first lives where nice, but the Void got curious one day and messed with the Universe's reincarnation cycle and it caused the mortal half to be horribly injured and evenutally die a horrible death, but it is also caused the divine half to go insane and start harming people. But the touch of the Void does not go away easily, as this cycle continued for many of the Universe's lives, and eventually stopping on one life, but the trauma from the lives were still there, even if the mortal half did not remember it and insanity cannot be reversed. this left the mortal half without a smile and the divine half with a cold look....
