These ladies are in a brawl of fighting against their family ties.

We have the Chinese Monarch cryptomythologist on the left and a former Chinese-Japanese Monarch cryptomythologist turned terrorist (whose fate will be soon tortured by a Black Star) on the right.

Should be finished for the next week I think...

i think the idea of Byakuya being the one to step up to be the future foundation leader after Munakata makes sense. imo Makoto would want to be away from public eye after everything + Kyoko is a detective at heart and only leads when she needs to. to quote @izurulovesboats: “If he does not have his conglomeration from home, store bought is fine.”

HOWEVER, the survivors would absolutely need to put in a better checks and balances system than the previous iteration of the future foundation so something like Tengan and Munakata’s dynamic never repeats itself. all of them need to have the ability to usurp the leader’s power, because despite his development he’s still Byakuya Togami and has a massive ego. Aoi Asahina NEEDS to be able to kick his legs out from under him when he gets on a pedestal.

Is this anything

[secretagentsagainstwhatever]

I don't even mean it in a hyperbolic sense when I say the monarchy should be burnt at the stake.

[sesamenom]

alright you’ve been extremely extremely kind and indulgent to me about my oc and i cannot possibly thank you enough <333333 so MY turn now to ask YOU about YOURS. please tell me about maglor’s distant granddaughter who is also your bbeg?? .w. or about the chatty hobbits i would very VERY much love to hear about both!!!

~ @nelyoslegalteam, reporting from main <3

(long post, sorry for the random people stumbling upon this lol)

so I'm the dm for the chatty hobbits campaign and essentially it's set in a beleriand-adjacent continent, but with a few extra races and stuff. of the founders of the original settlements, the king of elende (the elf kingdom) is Gil-galad's (invented for the campaign) twin brother Finellach/Finwain. originally he was inspired by the fact that gil galad has a ton of names but only uses ereinion/gil, so I just invented a new character and gave him half the names. I headcanon gil galad as maglor's son, so finwain is in universe maglor's son (left at the havens with gil bc his wife divorced him for kinslaying and his kingdom, being next door neighbors with morgoth, is far too dangerous for small children).

Anyways, his descendant Elinyel (also known as aramire or elinnor) is the current queen of Elende! she's an evil fire-themed bard who is extremely feanorian in all the worst ways - her actual kingdom prospered under her reign, but she just does not care about everyone else as long as she's protecting her people. There were some tensions with one of the major kingdoms to the north (conflict over unclaimed territory between the kingdoms and some tariff stuff), so instead of risking the other kingdom starting a war and hurting her people, she just preemptively invaded it and started burned all the border territories to the ground.

her actual coronation was pretty weird- so she's the second child, but her older sister was born in wartime and there's a general belief in elende that children of peacetime make better rulers, so Elinyel was chosen as her family's heir. her grandfather (the crown prince of his generation) died defending Elende in one of the major wars, but his younger brother and two young kids survived. there's a whole feud between their houses because the brother chose to retain the kingship even after the kids were old enough to take the throne. anyways, two generations later Elinyel killed her cousin Arendil (the previous king of Elende) over a dispute about the legitimacy of his house (and what she believed to be a dishonoring of her grandparents' sacrifice) and took the throne.

obviously she has many Issues. arendil also has two surviving kids who are now essentially trying to stop her from murdering all their neighbors in proactive defense of her people.

however, when she first ascended she recruited her friend group as her elite guard/vassals of the kingdom. (aka the other bosses in the storyline). so it escalated to a war between her forces and the children of arendil, which ultimately culminated in her beloved sister being killed by one of arendil's children. this in turn led to her having basically a massive mental breakdown and feeling like she failed to protect her loved ones (exacerbated by some of her other friends being killed in battles she led). a normal person might decide this is was kind of her fault for starting a war and putting her friends in charge of the army. instead she decided she needed to destroy everyone who could ever potentially pose a threat. which is, in her eyes, literally everyone on the continent (except for her kingdom, of course).

so now she is at war with absolutely everyone of all factions! She is also somehow winning by virtue of Song almost on the level of maglor himself, and ten (now six) also incredibly powerful friends. Anyways, she has decided that the best way to wipe out the continent (except her kingdom) and start fresh is to literally find an ancient lost stone that can break the Doors of Night, summon Morgoth himself, and start the Dagorath. obviously this will Not go well for anyone at all if she succeeds, but she is on a full-on rampage and genuinely believes she (plus friends) can protect her kingdom from Morgoth's army while he wipes out everyone else.

Here's some old art of her btw!

And some slightly more recent unfinished art of her and the Evil Friend Group from when they were younger:

and here's (L-R) her cousin who is the 3rd boss, Elinyel, and her sister from before the war!

Kit and Airk Tanthalos

Kit and Airk should be co-monarchs before Elora ascends as the empress. love Elora but she doesnt know shi- about being a monarch much less a damn empress. she’s literally just starting to learn to be a sorceress. she’s destined to be the empress but of all the titles she isn’t ready for, that would be it. 

Kit and Airk on the other hand. they are the crown heirs of Tir Asleen. Kit might not show it but i know she knows a lot about the kingdom and being a leader. she’s brazen and the doer. Airk is the diplomat. He smoothed it over with Graydon and King Hastur (the bastard). He is the talker. 

Kit and Airk would rule better together than separately.

New story today: "Working at a Renaissance Fair in the Summer"

[goldenspringmornings]

researching for my fic has solidified one of my biggest gripes with this series- the casualty of how regular citizens, especially in the novella with feyre, speak to their reigning monarch like be so fr rn there’s no way these people are telling essentially their queen what to do
