for @joyfire-week (belatedly, oops), a mash up of “no capes AU” and “royalty” prompts.

I wanted to try something different than the European royalty-style that I’m used to, especially since Kori isn’t from any Earth nation. So we have Mughal princess Kori (thank you for suggesting the reference, @ileliberte :D), Ming dynasty Jason (calling on the idea that Lady Shiva is his mom if you want to), and Renaissance Roy, with the boys as… merchants? mercenaries? pirates? …outlaws? Up to you. :)

I initially had Jason in British-ish get up as well (which doesn’t preclude him being of chinese descent) but i decided i wanted them all to be from places distant to each other. Here’s jay’s renfest get-up for the curious:

#starfire #dcu #joyfire #koriand'r #jason todd #red hood #joyfireweek #roy harper #batfamily #she interrupted their slap fight #pentapoda drew this #all my references were historical dramas #i initially tried looking for more academic sources about historical dress #but it turns out i have no idea how to draw clothing from looking at 17th century artwork #so i went with the pretty pictures of tv and movies #because that's what i'm really imagining here:#a historical drama (with some magic bits) on my tv starring joyfire #and not even a high quality one #i want like xena/stargate/firelfy kind of quality nonsense
