The State Portrait of the Hon. Riyo Chuchi

Finally colored some two-year-old line art.

Description below the cut, or on Ao3 📜

A state portrait of the Honorable Riyo Chuchi, painted by students of the National Academy on the occasion of her accession to the post of Sujimis Senator to the Galactic Republic. This copy was done for the Pantoran Embassy on Coruscant, while the original hangs in the Speaker’s Chambers within the National Assembly on Pantora.

Chuchi’s sarafan is of the enikäi style, traditionally made of banthak wool and worn by noblewomen of the north. Above it she wears the Robe of State, a historic garment of Pantoran plum velvet trimmed with mummok fur. Made for the coronation of King Cho the Half-Foot, the first king to unite Pantora’s disparate tribes, it is now donned by all elected and nominated representatives of Pantora upon taking the Oath of Service.

The Robe of State remains the most costly textile ever produced on Pantora. It is estimated that over a million pukku — a species of hydrothermal mollusk found in Pantora’s ancient wetlands and polar seas — were crushed to produce the coveted dye. Until the Reformist age, pukku populations belonged entirely to the monarch; they are now protected by law and farmed sustainably by rival fashion houses. Although the sumptuary laws which once governed use of the color are long gone, true Pantoran plum fabric is so expensive to make that it remains limited to all but the wealthy and those in state positions with stipends for the necessary garments.

On Chuchi’s head is a Crescent of Sirkku, which also charges the planetary flag. A Crescent is always made of one of Pantora’s golden metals — aurodium, orichalc, and pyrite — and studded with native pearls representing Pantora, Plutonia, and the Lights (auroras), with Sirkku the sun god represented by the star in the center. The aurodium in Chuchi’s family ink entitles her to wear one of pure aurodium. Traditionally the Crescent is worn on the heads of female Pantorans and hung from the belt of males.

In her left hand Chuchi holds the Great Tusk, believed to be the spearhead of Voldsar, a legendary Pantoran hero who rode a giant torsk into the sky as offering to warring cosmic deities. His blood is said to shroud the planet, his throbbing wounds coloring the Lights of Pantora’s night skies. For all of recorded Pantoran history, Voldsar’s spear has symbolized the planetary ruler’s temporal power and a commitment to defending Pantora’s people to the death. Centuries ago, in the Iggorian Age, to mark the Abolition of the Torsk Hunt — an annual slaying of the largest bull, meant to prevent Voldsar from riding back down — the tusk was removed from the ancient shaft and mounted on a repulsor. Regrettably, at the same time it was also inscribed with a flowery caption in lampblack, forever altering the relic.

In lieu of Voldsar’s spear, in the right hand is now held a personal token. In Chuchi’s case, she offers a waxed lilium from her family’s greenhouse, symbolizing her innocence as Pantora’s youngest Galactic Senator, and her commitment to preserving peace.

[Touch deprived scum screeches the whole night, then buys a cake.]

So I spent some hours last night making different kinds of distress noises, that I would otherwise be called an attempt on singning, if it wasn't done out of dispair and pent up feelings. I could like to say I'm not as bad at making human sounds as I was, say, a year ago, but I'm not good at it either. On a comfortable lever of mediocrity, where I no longer hate myself 100%.

I wonder if my neighnours heard that...

Some loser trying to pull off 'take me back to eden' and 'skyfall' in the middle of the night... I can't hit the high notes, but sometimes I slip into what I believe to be subharmonics, just perfectly. It's my seacret source of pride, really. I can never prove to anyone, that I can make a sound that registers in the 2. octave on a pitch monitor. I can only do it when I feel extremely at ease. If there is a possibility of withness who is be able to judge me or even just a presence of a recording device, I can't do it.

I stopped at about 6 am, after being unable to control my voice anymore, I wore it out pretty well I think. It felt like the room 'echoed' or 'resinated' long after I shut up, it was really odd feeling, but I was pretty tired too. Good thing I didn't really have to talk to anyone today so I don't have to sound like a sqeaky toy.

I tried to play the guitar for a bit before going out. I'm annoyed that I can't remember any of the songs I used to play, not that I knew many but I spent over a year trying to learn 'lilium' and I can't even remember the bit I did learn. Neither 'Behind blue eyes'. That one I could maybe learn well enough to pull off someday, it's not that hard... but trying to sing at the same time makes it kinda hard, but not god-level hard, in other words, I have faith in myself... If I end up hyper fixating on playing again.

I went to the store. Got some reasonable food and a cake. I've been craving the cake for a few days now. Could be because I'm getting hooked on sugar again... I got wafers too. crunch* I know this isn't good for me, I'll have to cold turkey myself out of this yet again but it's so hard. I guess other un-met emotional needs play an effect too, I've been feeling off l again lately.

I mean, it's been 2 or 3 weeks now since the last time I touched another living creature, there was this little dog called Oscar at the piercing shop, I got to pet him. It made me pretty happy inside. This has gone to a point where I see friendly skin contact as a literal drug. I need my fix about 2 weeks after the previous one, after that it starts to physically hurt.

It feels like having acid in my lungs, small needle stabbing in the heart. The whole body literally aches. It's like being hungry but it doen't matter what you eat, it won't go away. Last thing on your mind is the same as the first one in the morning; just how fucking bad you wish someone would just hold you for a moment. Just long enough for the pain to stop. Then I can be ignored and forgotten and I promise I'll do my best to not bother anyone with my existance for the next few weeks again.

I spend hours in bed just holding onto my pillow bc it's the closest thing to a hug I can get...

H Summary Backstories (Info)

H: A normal girl, living a normal life... Or so you ALL THINK. She has a not-so-great relationship with her father and her mother is dead (depends on the AU).

Hollyhock (Holly): She has a terrible relationship with her father and her mother is dead (depends on the AU). She fell into the underground and was found by Hydra. She took care of Aliza when she fell. She then found a way to travel between AUs and she broke the barrier that kept the AUs from combining.

Marguerite: She never knew of her biological family and hopped from foster family to foster family. She grew up very poor and she fell into the underground in hopes of winning some money. She met Harper and she began to help Tart get through the underground safely. She then picked up several jobs and can be found literally everywhere. She is the proud owner of a diner and bar.

Primrose: She has a poor relationship with her mother and father. She is very distant from them and she doesn't speak about them. She lost her best friend in a magic-related incident. She fell into the underground shortly after and started to help care for Pudding. She is the organizer of a lot of activities and weddings.

Willow: She has a non-existent relationship with her parents and has a deep-seated resentment towards them. She lost a lot of loved ones over her life to accidents related to them. She fell into the underground by accident after hiking. She took Custard in. She isn't afraid to fight back and snap at the monsters. She helps plan a lot of things.

Marigold: She has a terrible relationship with her mother and doesn't remember her father. She had a dance teacher who passed away. She took over the studio her teacher ran when she was old enough. She has a bad relationship track record (she's only been in one). She is very optimistic and when she falls into the underground, she helps Mooncake a lot and befriends the monsters as she goes.

Lotus: The daughter of the Bell family. She has a good relationship with her father and a terrible one with her mother. She is a model and a violinist who tries to keep up appearances and is bound to take over the company when her father steps down.

Idk I guess the critique is on shadowhunter record keeping then. It just seems that a people who keep to so much ceremony would keep detailed records, like the Catholic church keep track of their popes and stuff.

And beyond that, Jem and Tessa exist in present day. I would assume Jem would sit her down and be like, this is Cortana's history, you know? Especially if they're dealing with Belial again in the future.

Would Jem/Tessa keep Herondale info from Kit? Mina is a Carstairs. She could potentially wield Cortana. Emma had her parents for awhile, like the history of the family sword would be bedtime stories in that world imo. I can totally picture Jem telling baby Mina stories about Carstairs.

My call is that Emma is descended from Alastair and Cordelia's sibling but Cassie goes out of the way to say Cortana chooses its wielder, so it could choose a Carstairs in spirit too (example being like, Alastair/Thomas adopt kids or something.)

I just think these family stories, if not about the people, because that's valid, I don't know a thing about my ancestors from 1903, then at least around the objects you know?

The Blackthorn locket and sword. Cortana. The Herondale Ring that belonged to James. The Lightwood necklace.

I feel like those histories would have been passed on. I mean if Arthur Blackthorn can tell these sorts of stories:

Doesn't it make sense that a more recent tale would be told along with it now? Unless some history about it needed to be erased?

There has to be a reason Emma doesn't know about all of Cortana's owners right?

Because why doesn't she know who Cordelia is? Shouldn't she know the Carstairs?

Jace knows about James Herondale. Gives Kit his ring.

The Rumi quote also makes me think this is about forgiveness and maybe it's something Sona says to Cordelia before passing? Idk. It just seems like a very Persion thing to say. Perhaps even Belial since he loves humans so much.

Oh man what if it's James writing on it bc he lost Cordelia. Ha. I wish.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you means like, your mistakes, your heartache, your pain are what make you realize you are human and not perfect. (Or in the sense of religious imagery in the Shadowhunters books, perhaps not God or Angels or Demons)

This also fits nicely with the theme of Light in Great Expectations in that The Light of Day is illuminating on our darkness/shadows. When Pip is able to move into the Light of Day it is because he sees how he cannot avoid the consequences of his actions and must accept them.

In a Fairstairs world this means the cost is Cordelia.

Even though technically he wasn't actively making the choices as Pip was. So I don't think theme wise he is actually a fair comparison to Pip.

Matthew the other hand...

Tragic tale (XD) from 椅子樂團 The Chairs, this is a fun tune, very catchy! Lyrics on screen from Zoo Chronicle 動樂記 YT channel. (also back at YT)

This song is on their 2023 album, The Great Escape Of Our Time, and it might be an autobiographical tale about the singer, 裘詠靖 Jing Chiu? A few of the verses mention bad things happening to 'Jing'.

裘詠靖 Jing Chiu-voc/gtr, 孫伯元 Benson Sun-bass/gtr, 陳仲穎 Zhong-Ying Chen-voc/gtr. Eazie Huang 黃榮毅 is their producer, supports on keys sometimes. Dee Chen (fr.百合花 Lilium) is their live drummer, but I'm not sure if she's playing on the recording.
