#vault queen

[craneodealien]

This doll is so beautiful. I love her hair, her skin tone, her pink and yellow sport outfit, her brown eyes and  her soft hair. I changed her hairstyle, and she looks even better. She’s a must have and totally worth it.

thrifted vault queen the other day and just got her fixed up, she only had her leotard but that's ok she's going for a swim

forever thinking about Jude “i would've read your love letters every single night” Duarte and Cardan “prayed to God you'd be coming home alright, you would've been fine, we would've been timeless” Greenbriar ...

The Queen definitely dominated Shilo a lot, like we can all agree on that, right? That’s what normalized casually upending people’s free will to Shilo.

I’m just curious how far she took it. Shilo was capable of leaving his room and the castle, but was that because The Queen didn’t want to dominate him to never leave, or because that would’ve been a safety hazard? While Shilo was growing up did she dominate him whenever he wanted to stay up past bedtime? Whenever he didn’t want to eat his dinner yet? Whenever he asked one too many times to see the outside world, read new books, to have a friend? Did she dominate away tantrums, dominate him into sitting still for portraits, dominate him into apologizing after arguments?

Did she use her discipline to skip over all the times a normal parent would discipline their child or adapt to their needs? She’s an old, old creature, and grew up in a very different era, it might not have even seemed wrong to her, exactly, just a useful trick that let her speedrun parenting because she knew what was best for Shilo even if it deprived him of every opportunity to be a person.

Did that extend out to Jeffrey (assuming he’s actually their dad and not like, some guy that The Queen dumped Emizel on to hide him and just dominated into believing that he was Emizel’s father), back whenever they were dating/whatever the fuck led them to fuck? Did she dominate away rough patches, rewrite his memories of plans when something came up and she knew she couldn’t make it?

Did she ghoulify him?

Think about it. She’s this great, wise, powerful Queen of all vampires with enemies around every corner, and then she falls in love/?lust? with this frail, vulnerable human. He’s a weak spot that can be exploited, a hole in her armor, and that puts him in danger. His first line of defense seemed to be secrecy, but why not have his second line of defense be a bunch of blood points to use at will? Ghouls are stronger, heal faster, and even have limited use of disciplines! Heck, if she love loved him, then she’d be extending his lifespan so they could be together for all eternity, at the low low cost of his free will and independence. But hey, it’s not like he didn’t already love her, right?

I’m not sure what would’ve had to have changed for her to have cut contact with Jeffrey and Emizel, especially since she clearly didn’t learn any lessons because she still raised Shilo to be the way he is, but like. I just want you to imagine Jeffrey slowly transitioning out of being a ghoul once he’s cut off from The Queen’s blood, slowly realizing what happened, slowly realizing he’d had a kid while under a blood bond and all the fucked up shit that entails, and then having to wake up everyday and look at Emizel and be reminded of it all.

If he stayed away from The Queen under a level 3 blood bond then she probably explicitly told him to do so, maybe even dominated him into doing it, so even just taking care of Emizel might’ve been by her orders, and as he de-ghoulified he was actively choosing to continue to follow the last orders given to him by someone who put him through all of that. That might’ve strained his relationship with his son, just a little bit.

Idk if Charlie would’ve made things that dark, but I still doubt dating The Queen of a society that sees people as walking talking buffets went super well for Jeffrey.

Royal Tiaras Highlights: The Strathmore Rose Tiara

The tiara was a gift to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon from her father, the Earl of Strathmore, for her 1923 wedding to the Duke of York, the future King George VI. The tiara features a garland of wild roses in diamonds mounted in silver and gold and was purchased for the future Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother at a London jeweler; it dates from the late nineteenth century.

The flowers in the tiara can be removed and worn as brooches and also be swapped-out for sapphires. The Queen Mother frequently wore the piece low on her head - as it was common in the 20s - but the piece does feature two separate frames, one that allows for a traditional wear.

Last time the tiara was seen was in 2012, when it was photographed for Hugh Roberts’ book ‘The Queen’s Diamonds’. The piece was inherited by Queen Elizabeth II so it’s still apart of the Royal Family’s collection.

UMMMMM WHAT 😭💔💔

UNHAPPY MARRIAGE??? YOU MEAN HER UNHAPPY RELATIONSHIP WITH 🤢DUNCAN🤢???

AND THE FACT THAT IT SAYS “they can sacrifice for those they love” HAS ME THINKING, WHAT IF IN TGG SHE HAS TO SACRIFICE HERSELF FOR HER FAMILY?? NOT SO HEROICALLY I THINK BUT I MEAN WHAT IF SHE GIVES SOMETHING OF HER OWN UP TO PROTECT HER FAMILY??

i am not ready for the grandest game to come out because then that means we’re probably gonna have more sad savannah scenes 💔 (and her finding out about what really happened to her dad)

[bleue-flora]

If I wrote a multi fandom fanfic it would literally just be Arrow’s Oliver Queen, Supernatural’s Dean Winchester, MCU’s Loki and Bucky Barns, and c!Dream imprisoned in Minecraft’s favorite torture box, Pandora’s Vault, with c!Quackity and his bag of tools… what does that say about me?…

ever after Guy

[craneodealien]

I started collecting dolls 8 years ago, so I’ve chosen my favorite doll from every year. I’m not very good at maths so I thought I had to choose only eight dolls, but I ended up finding out that I had to choose nine.

2014. Maddie Hatter. She was my first doll as a collector. Buying her wasn’t easy for me for different reasons but I really wanted this doll.

2015. Bonita Femur. I remember when I saw her on a toys catalogue, I thought she had a gorgeus face. She’s a work of art.

2016. Kitty Cheshire. We didn’t have more Ever After High dolls here in Spain so I lost the hope of getting new characters, but suddenly I found her.

2017. Lagoona Blue. It was a bad year for doll collecting so I couldn’t find new Monster High dolls anymore, but sometimes I found older releases.

2018. Amanita Nightshade. In reality my favorite doll from this year was Devon D’Marco from Project Mc2, but I have her storaged and I didn’t want to search.

2019. Frankie Stein. I freaked out when I found some old Monster High dolls at an outlet store that I found by chance. It was a weird year for me...

2020. Moana. She came in a 11 pack from Disney Store, and to be honest, I bought the whole pack only for Moana.

2021. Alice. I really wanted to get her, but I wasn’t sure about the price, so I waited. One day I went to Disney Store and they only had 2, so I got one.

2022. Vault Queen. I choose her because I love her hair so much. I changed her hairstyle and I enjoyed the process.

I made a series of faux travel posters for Ephestalia as part of the Hamiathes's Gift Exchange '23! Follow the above link to the work to read an accompanying framing device ficlet and read about the paintings and photos used in these image edits.

When working on my hero / villain Au, it hit me that False in the finale of HcVH was predicted in some way by Hermitgang

“I throw a poison dart, to make you breathe your final breath,”

- False used a poison support build during the finale fight

- False was the one who landed the final hit on The Herald (either her or Iskall but she did a large portion of the damage during the last segment thanks to Storm Arrow)

Hal may have struck out, but at least I was able to (finally!!) update Aelin's look. \o/
