Any ideas for Lucifer and Mammon in your Tribe AU?
Meet Apple Core (Lucifer) and Poison Ivy (Mammon). I made their top tier design, not I just need to make a full body of them. Same goes to Belphegor that I named Cotton. I think I might make a map of the tribe’s lands and mark where their main kingdoms are. Still trying to figure out Leviathan’s design 😅
(I have no idea if this has been done already, but i cant stop thinking about this)
In lamb culture, gifting jewelry signifies a relationship between the gifter and the reciever. Depending on where the jewelry is worn, it signifies the type of relationship formed.
Gold given by family is to be strung on the horns, or woven into the wool on the head. These are more permanent and intricate, with larger pieces being passed down family lines. Marriages are usually sealed with a ceremonial exchange of this type of jewelry.
Close friends give things that will be worn on the hands and arms. Small tokens that can be swapped out when friendships come and go.
Tokens from those outside of friends and family are usually charms that can be affixed to staffs and clothing, or placed around the house to be admired from afar.
Those that have been slighted put the respective jewelry affixed to the end of robes and staffs, or tied to the ankles, to metaphorically and physically drag that person through the dirt.
Only lovers exchange jewelry for the neck, and each piece is symbolic. It is tradition to propose with a bell, of which the quality is reflective to the love of the giver. Higher quality bells chime the most beautifully, and have a unique sound.
When The Lamb was given their bell, it was flawless, for it had been handcrafted by a god. When the Red crown was fitted on their head, the marriage was sealed. The Lamb did not protest, for who were they to deny their god? They were executed, engaged, married, and resurrected all in the span of a few mintues; loving their sudden husband came just as quick.
The one who waits was not suprised by his vessel's unflinching devotion to him. He accepted the golden jewelry they showered him with, as offerings were expected. He humored their honeyed compliments and long winded ramblings; they fought harder and worked longer when he'd done so.
The one who waits was completely surprised, when upon their betrayal, he still felt devotion from them. The Lamb still loved their husband, even if Narinder had no idea they've been married for the past 250 years.
I wanted to go a bit more in-depth with this piece that I did for zukka week 2023 because i got inspired to do more insane clothing details. ID in ALT.
Ramble about the influences/inspirations below:
Design inspirations for Sokka's clothing are mainly Inuvialuit and Yup'ik, with Nenets, Tlingit, and Chukchi inspiration for the tassels, patterns, belt and beadwork. I mixed these with the ornaments canon shows us used by the Northern Water Tribe, and also in Legend of Korra. I got particularly excited about drawing from Inuvialuit sources since the tassels we see in canon look like they could be inspired by this. Going beyond canon's animation-friendly colour scheme, I drew from Nenets patterns/embroidery/sashes and Yup'ik beadwork for accent colours. I think in the future I'd like to find ways to incorporate more Tlingit-style patterns since I rarely see them in fanart (which is a shame - they're stunning), but since they tend to be very big I ultimately decided to only include them as a nod in order to keep the regalia recognisable as 'Water Tribe'. I wonder if I could start using Polynesian influences as well?
Zuko's headdress and particularly the shoulder garment and beaded embroidery draw heavily from women's clothing styles of Lê Dynasty Vietnam. The other main influence is men's royal clothing in Tang Dynasty China, and patterns worn by Mongolian Khatun. Since we have a bit more to go on in canon as to what fire nation regalia looks like, I blended that in as well. I got particularly excited about the embellishments on Lê Dynasty clothes because I could give a little nod to Zuko's dragon-fire by adding more colours to the embroidery. In the future I think I'd want to make the Mongolian influence a bit more obvious... perhaps even push the envelope by incorporating some Bashkir designs, though I'm not sure how well that will go.
Zuko: *Reluctantly accepts and just as he takes a sip of tea all the memories from the original timeline come back in a hammering instant. Then he processes to pour his heart and all emotions out, apologizing for every single time he ignored Iroh's advice and lessons, promising to do better from now on, and that's time he chooses his own destiny by helping the Avatar bring balance to the world.*
Iron: *Looks down at his own cup of tea* ...Huh, Is the tea that good?
He spends the next thirty minutes gushing about his very best friends Katara and Sokka
I think that momo can only be drawn in the worst way possible like he will NOT be looking straight his eyes are going to be big and round and a little fucked up
Some of my hcs for Lantern!batfam and how they came to be.
Jason: Fuck, I hate you guys so much... All high and mighty, pretending like you give a shit when you keep enforcing a system that's not fucking working...
Tim: hey what's that in the sky?
Dick: God you're such a fucking asshole, if you hate us so much why are you even here?
Jason: Well because some poor fucker has to make sure-
Duke: Jason, watch out!
Jason: *gets knocked out by the sheer extreme speed at which the violet ring flung itself at him.*

Tim: Hey Dick, how are you? We heard about that argument you had with Bruce, and reopening old wounds and everything...
Dick: That's sweet, but I'm doing great, don't worry! Punched a bunch of criminals, hung out with friends, now I feel amazing. Of course, if it gets me an excuse to hang out with my little brother...
Tim: Cool, because I'm already breaking into your apartment and I'm -woah, what the fuck is that?
Dick: Oh, you like my new suit?
Tim: what the fuck holy shit is that a red lantern ring? Can you take it off?
Dick: I mean, I think I'll die? It's fine, it's fine, totally cool. Probably someone will have an idea how to fix it if I need to. I'm perfectly calm!

Izzy: Hey Duke, you feeling good about physics?
Duke: Wait what's in physics?
Izzy: The test...? That's gonna count for like half our grade...?
Duke, who meant to study this weekend but spent it sleeping off opioids after Croc nearly entirely gnawed off his foot: Ah, right, the test. It's going to be fine! I've figured stuff out with worse odds.
Izzy: If you say so! Hey what's that hovering ominously around you?
Duke, absent-mindedly pocketing a blue ring: hold on a second, gotta dip, Dick is texting me he needs help. You'll never guess what stupid shit he's gotten himself into.

Damian: Jordan! I challenge you in combat for the right to your ring!
Hal: Eh, kid... You really need a green lantern ring?
Damian: I shall prove I am as worthy of this honour as the rest of my fami- will you quit gazing off? What are you staring at?
Hal: *wordlessly points at the indigo ring floating behind him*
