#kingdom of lucis

[queenoffishingandcookies]

Thinking about what level of misogyny existed in Lucis, from ancient times to modern, because it has to on some level.

Where The Rogue is listed in the Bestiary, it is directly stated:

“Having lost her father and older brother to daemons, the Rogue was left with no family and no choice but to ascend the throne and rule in their stead. At the time, however, the thought of a woman ruling the kingdom was preposterous to some”.

Predominantly, this indicates that Lucis was a patriarchal society, at least prior to Crepera’s reign (she may have changed laws from the firstborn male to the first born child as a whole, and we have no way of knowing how well the upper echelons of Lucian society took that at the time).

(In contrast, Tenebrae is very much a matriarchal society in my head, considering the lauded position of Oracle to the Gods, and that the three canon oracles we know of are female).

That…also makes me wonder about the different levels of education pertaining to one’s gender in Lucis, even an unknown number of decades/centuries down the line.

I got thinking. I don’t believe I ever told people about my headcanons concerning the inheritance for the Lucian throne, right? So I’m gonna ramble about it for a bit now.

It’s actually pretty straight forward: the Crystal decides who the next King is going to be. Which means the throne won’t automatically go to the eldest son. Which has the consequence of ever child being needed to be taught how to rule.

In my worldbuilding the Crystal is the last living piece of the Goddess Eos, so it is her who decides who her guardian is going to be, so to speak. The Crystal does not care about gender or in which order the prospective heirs were born.

Do when the King dies, everyone who is in direct blood relation to them, gatheres in front of the Crystal and it chooses one of them. (Or not)

It does not need to have the one it chooses present in front of it. Which can be very awkward, when a hidden child born out of wedlock gets chosen. Which has happened before.

Bahamut interfered into the process 14 times, to bind the 13 Lucii he needed to the prophecy. Since the Crystal is only a piece of Eos, it was not strong enough to stop him.

Thank you 2024 for ghoulcy, nomae, and now oshmir // oshamir. They have me shipping girls with a 200 year old cannibal ghoul, a highly intelligent anthropomorphic ape, and a sexy murderous darkside user who killed off your faves.

If I had a nickel for every time a girl with big, beautiful eyes who was born & raised in a bunker had crazy intense chemistry with a weird looking dude in a dystopian future, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's VERY strange that it happened twice

[tending-the-hearth]

thinking about how canonically the pevensie siblings are 13, 12, 10, and 8 in "the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe"

thinking about how lucy needed a stool to be able to get up onto her throne, how peter's sword is a little too large for him, how susan's bow is a little too difficult for her to pull back, how edmund's shield nearly covers his entire body.

thinking about the pevensie siblings and their first few months in narnia, getting to know their new people, and half the narnians sitting there horrified because WHAT have these literal babies been through to give them such traumatized, old eyes, and the other half of the narnians are preparing to adopt them, no it doesn't matter that they're the rules, they're children who are being put in charge of too many things, and if peter looks at the old man council long enough he's going to cry, so someone needs to give him paternal support while aslan is off doing Lion Jesus Stuff™️ and whoops oreius is being nice and encouraging and now he's adopted his kings and queens they're his kids now he doesn't make the rules.

just the narnians and the pevensies being thrown into it together, and just as the pevensies will do anything to protect their new kingdom, the narnians will do anything to protect their rules, because let's be honest, these children have no sense of self-preservation, and are far too overprotective of each other and their people to take into account their own safety, so a lot of battles it's just one of the pevensie siblings running headfirst into danger with oreius running after them because his kids are feral and don't know proper royalty manners and won't threatening old kings from different countries because they're being assholes and the last time one of them tried undermining the queens susan called him a self-righteous asshole and lucy tried to stab him SOMEONE help him corral his children please

I honestly think that Lucy, as the bloofer lady, woke up utterly terrified of everything after leaving her grave. With how violent, and subdued her death was, Lucy's mind was probably utterly scrambled while trying to make sense of all that surrounded her.

It's something I wish a good adaptation would actually explore, or at least properly hint at. I like the idea that the first kid she fed on came to her by complete accident even before she invited him for a walk. This beautiful lady is wandering around as the sun's gone down, looking lost and somehow undecided on whether she is sad or giddy. Madam, are you lost? I know the streets around here...

And Lucy begins to slip under as the Bloofer Lady slides in, making musical patter with the child--I always did like children. I remember that. And I only need a little, just a bit, some small sweet draught. Come along, come take a walk, let us play, would you like a kiss?--as she half-sleepwalks into the instincts of undeath.

Hi! I’m Selest but you can call me Les or Catharsis! I’m a 24 year old digital artist, I mostly do fanart for now but I’m actually working on an illustrated novel!

Why does no one ever talk about how truly superior princess x dragon ships are???

Like hello?? THE MUTUAL RESPECT FOR THE OTHERS STRENGTH AND NEED TO PROTECT EACH OTHER!?

Do I even have to explain why Nalu is here?

Honorary dark dragon Hak and Yona! They make me wanna cry…

THE WAY THESE TWO BITCHES YERN FOR EACHOTHET!

And honorable mention ToTK Zelink (only bc Zelda would be both princess and dragon, maybe Link is the princess?? Idk)

There’s just something about the unconventional functionality of it! The way the dragon will always guard(protect) the princess and the way the princess will always admire the dragons strength, while also wanting to help the dragon that gets to me..

Also, if anyone can think of anymore pls lmk!!
