Coronation Dress

So, you may know that for a while now I've been designing the Kingdom of Anchorage and Kodiak, a kingdom in southwest Alaska run by a Native American Orthodox dynasty in a post-apocalyptic world. As part of that, I'm sharing the coronation dress* of its founder figure, Queen Abigail, and looking for opinions from my female followers and other women and girls here.

The base layer is a chemise, and above that are tie-on pockets, a corset (not tightlaced) and the frame for a hoop skirt, covered with a petticoat and a sleeveless smock. All of these cloth layers are made of white silk. For footwear, there are a pair of cream buckskin moccasins covered with blue and turquoise beadwork and with white fur around the tops.

The skirt is layered; the bottom layer is light blue and fringed with beadwork in the shapes of forget-me-nots and northern bluebells, the middle layer is medium blue and fringed with beadwork in the same patterns, while the top layer is dark blue and fringed with beadwork in the shapes of ravens and orcas (respectively very important to the Koyukon people Abigail comes from and the national symbol of Alaska), and alternating raven, snow goose and golden eagle feathers projecting out from the waist, which also has a cloth-of-gold sash tied around it. This layer is also made of silk

The bodice (made of dark blue silk) is decorated with beadwork patterns in the shape of a raven on the right and an orca on the left. It is fastened with buttons at the front, with buttons made of mammoth ivory and carved in the shape of various animals; descending from the top, a raven with spread wings, a leaping orca, a reindeer seen from the side, a standing bear, a moose seen from the side, a leaping salmon and an eagle with spread wings. The shoulders are large and puffed and use sleeve supports, and the arms are wholly covered between them and a pair of bicep-length white gloves made of the leather of young Dall sheep, fastened with mammoth ivory buttons.

The hair is tied back into a bun with a hairnet, and covered with a veil of dark blue silk fringed with gold, worn in the style of a mantilla. A string of pearls are wrapped tightly around the neck, and there is a shell necklace spread over the chest of the same make as this one.

There is also a long dark blue cloak which drapes along the ground, with the monarch's seal sewn into it with gold thread, fastened with silver clasps in the shape of ravens.

Instead of a crown, there is a diadem made of navy fabric, fringed with gold thread; in the centre is the national coat of arms, with the monarch’s seal (both described below) on either side. The diadem is fastened at the back with gold clasps in the shape of bears, with dark blue silken tappets embroidered with the names of family saints in gold thread. From the back and side are strings of circular beads made out of amethyst (directly against the back of the neck), fluorite (on either side of the amethyst beads) and obsidian (against the side of the head).

The coat of arms contains an orca on a Norman-style shield with a dark blue field, with a gold band above and one beneath the orca, and gold around it. Crossed behind it is a harpoon leaning left and a Russian cross leaning right, topped by a raven with spread wings with the Orthodox Christogram above it. The supporters are bears, and the dark green ground beneath it contains forget-me-nots and crowberries.

The monarch's seal consists of a Greek cross, with the corners containing (clockwise from top left) MP ΘΟΥ (the standard Orthodox abbreviation of "Mother of God"), IC XC (the standard Orthodox abbreviation of "Jesus Christ"), a ligature of βδλ (the consonants of basileia, "kingdom") above AK (Anchorage and Kodiak) and AL LD (Abigail's initials; her surname is Littlefield).

Tagging @femme-et-traditionnelle, @miss-rogers-all-american, @melisssg99, @luvchristxx and @roses-red-and-pink for your opinions! Particularly if anyone has the time, skill and inclination to draw it, please do so!

*While made for the coronation, she still wears it at other extremely formal events, namely Pascha and the final dinner of potlaches.

Wings of Fire for the fandom thing? :>

Favorite Male Character: It's a list. I just can't decide.

1. Winter

2. Morrowseer

3. Mastermind

4. Chameleon

5. Riptide

6. Vermillion

Favorite Female Character: Another list, Wif has so many good characters.

1. Carnelian

2. Moonwatcher

3. Icicle

4. Sora

5. Peril

6. Sunny

7. Scarlet

Least Favorite Character: Cottonmouth. Him as a concept is cool but him being pushed into the story kind if ruined it so I couldn't enjoy him as much. I think if he was introduced some way once the fourth arc comes around I think he would have been a lot more enjoyable.

Favorite Ship: Maroon/Moonlian and Chameleon x Mastermind

Favorite Friendship: FLAME AND CARNELIAN AND CARNELIAN AND PERIL!!! If I ranted here, this post would be too long :(

Favorite Quote: the exchange Peril and Turtle have when they first meet. I refer to them as Moose and Turtle sometimes.

Worst Character Death: I believe this is meant like the characters being ruined and not physically dying, so I'd say Winter. Bros development went out the window after book 7. Tho, if this is speaking of physical deaths, probably Palm. I will forever be histarical whenever someone mentions Palm getting killed by a space rock.

This made me so happy like you have no idea moment: WHEN WHIRLPOOL DIED LIKE I FOUND HIM INTERESTING BUT DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE

Saddest moment: Oh my FUCKING God when I tell you I was so emotional during the Marble scene were Turtle rolled the marble to Dakrstalker like grgrgrgr. He cannot be redeemed but it truly showed how much Darkstalker actually loved Clearsight like ughhhh I love doomed couples.

Favorite Location: I want to see the silkwing kingdom pre-Tree wars so bad. The art with Monarch is so pretty like CMON LET ME GO THERE GRGRGR. Same goes for the Ruins of the Night Kingdom, ruined castles and palaces call to me for some reason.

[thesecretofronance]

Heyyy besties it’s been a hot minute so here’s some quotes from my friends/teachers as Ashoka characters:

Sabine: “I’m not an academic weapon, at best I’m an academic 4.”

Morgan: “My MBTI is Hater.” and “I wish monarchs would start cutting out people’s tongues again.”

Ezra: “You guys are all just NPCs in my main character life.”

Shin: “My marbles? Gone.”

Huyang: “Evidently, I am a Yapper.”

Baylan: “The Bull Moose Party is my Roman Empire.”

Ashoka: “Don’t you dare bring mewing into my classroom.”

Sabine talking about Ashoka: “She called me a slut with her eyes.”

Hera: “I’m not swearing I’m simply saying our lord and savior’s full name.”

Chopper: “I AM on the rails!! I’m a TRAIN!!”

Get to know your moots

Thank you, @virtie333! for the tag, this is long and looks like fun!

What's the origin of your blog title? Ophelia because I fell in love with everything Hamlet when I first watched Sir Kenneth Branagh's '96 adaptation back in like '11 or '12. And I love handsome men. Easy as that!

Favourite game: Nintendo Donkey Kong 3 for video games, Mille Bornes for card games, World Wise for board games, tricking people for real games...

Song stuck in your head: ( oh hell) The Monarch Song from Horrible Histories. Really catchy!

Weirdest habit/trait? Weeellll, I bet everything I do is considered a weird habit by the majority of the populace, but it's probably the fact that I eat oddball things like the eggshells on boiled eggs and the paper on muffins and things like that.

Hobbies: Fiber crafts, woodworking, growing plants, beekeeping, playing the piano, writing fanfics, obsessing over historical fashions, reading history books, reading historical fiction/romance novels

If you work, what's your profession? oh geez, I can't really disclose that. Has to do with wee bairns. And farming.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Acting on stage at the Globe Theatre in London.

Something you're good at: Being a walking encyclopedia and playing music. Also flying by the seat of my pants through life.

Something you're bad at: Dealing with people, dealing with stupid people. And yes, though rare, they do very much exist.

Something you love: Music, history, the Catholic Faith, trees, Midsummer Bonfires, dark haired men*gulps*, restoration era English royalty.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: Why monarchies are actually still a better way of ruling, over democracies and republics and all that 20th century bullshite... Also herbalism, history in general, and cinema!

Something you hate: Puritanism, Gnosticism, Satanism, the healthcare system of North America, Communism, Nazism,( fascists are on thin ice) how loud Americans( not yours truly who has been tagged of course) tend to be online, the visceral misunderstanding protestants have about Catholicism/Orthodoxy, the Canadian government, the way americans treat canadians like dirt( at least the americans I met in real life)

Something you collect: Wool blankets, antiques, CDs and DVDs, enamel pots and pans

Something you forget: I get distracted easily, but my memory is scary long and accurate. I mainly forget where my wallet is.

What's your love language? Sex

Favourite movie/show: Oh come on I can't pick one! *grumbles* I pick The Lord of the Rings trilogy and M*A*S*H

Favourite food: Hominy corn with butter and Anglo-Saxon Oatcakes with apples

Favourite animal: Moose and Musk Ox. Would 100% ride them if I could. Also sheep.

What were you like as a child? Daydreaming and very idealistic. Also read a lot of trashy 70s romance novels.

Favourite subject at school? History, as well as religious studies.

Least favorite subject? Algebra. Even though I was actually really good at it. Still hated it.

What's your best character trait? Super helpful.

What's your worst character trait? I can be pretentious as fuck if I feel like it and nothing will stop me. Bit too much of a non-conformist.

If you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? That I hadn't spilt the damned milk.

If you could travel in time who would you like to meet? St. Joan of Arc and King Charles II of England , Scotland and Ireland. Preferably at the same time, that would be a hoot. He would pretend not to understand her french as she would absolutely rip him a new one about his mistresses and I would enjoy the show whilst being starstruck!

Recommend one of your favourite fanfics (spread the love!): Oh! Here's one! ( or two...)

and

no pressure tags are: @thekenobee and @russell-crowe and @smolgreybunny

Caine popped Bubble before he could say anything else

Caine: Your Job is to Hunt down this Hideous Helicopter and Save The People of AllapackaWape! Good Luck!

Caine snapped his Fingers and Summoned a Portal, As the Cast starting heading for the portal when Caine stopped them When He saw The Boy following them

Caine: Woah, Woah, Woah! Where do you think your Going Son?

The Boy: I dunno, Mount ally-backy-wamp Or whatever dumb thing you said

Caine: ....Are you sure you want To go? I mean, I don't want to Ruin Your Circus Experience but its quite Dangerous for a Child like you to go without A Parent or Guardian

Jax: C'mon Caine let the Kid come, Isn't This a Place for "All Ages?"

Caine: I-I Know, It's just my responsibility to Keep you happy and sane, And I'm afraid This Adventure Might be To Extreme for him

The Boy: pfft I'm notta Baby, Crapface!

Ragatha: Woah! Hey! Caine's just trying to help, Theres no Need to be Angry!

The Boy rolls his Eye

The Boy: I don't need his Help because He's an Idiot! And I don't Anybody else!

The Boy Jumped through the Portal

Caine: wah- HEY! That is no way to speak to your Ringmaster!

Pomni: Don't worry Caine I'll talk to him, Kid! Wait!

She Jumped through the Portal followed by the rest of the cast, Caine watched the portal closed, He was Worried about the Child and was definitely worried about Him possibly getting lost or scared

Caine: Tsk. Tsk. what a Troubled Boy...

Rogerg popped out of a trash can, eating a apple

Rogerg: Don't you have your own kid to worry about?

Pomni: Hey! Kid! Wait Up!

The Boy: Go away Loser!

He tried to slink away but Pomni grabbed him by the back of his neck, He was trying to squirm away from her grasp like a Cat or a gelatinous Snake

Pomni: Would You cut it out?!

The Boy: @#$% Off Lady!

He flung his body away from her grasp and face planted on the Dirt Trail

Pomni: Done Now?

Boy: Fine. Whatever. Just don't tell me what to do

The boy reluctantly joined the Rest of The cast

Pomni: look...I know your only a kid and you don't know any better, But you really shouldn't Talk To Caine Like that When he only wanted to keep you safe

The Boy: *Raspberries* I Talks How I want to Clown Lady!

He slithered away from her

Pomni: HEY! Look, kid, I know its Scary, Being so far from home, trapped In a world that your not used to, stuck in a body that isn't yours, Being So far away from your parents... You must miss them alot...

The Boy: Hmmm.... Nah, I don't

He slinked away

Pomni: Wait, What?

Ragatha: Isn't This Nice? I Almost Forgot How Peaceful The adventures can be! Right Jax?

Jax Was staring at a white baby Rabbit Chewing On a leaf

Jax: Huh- What- Uh Yeah sure, cool... (it kinda looks like Patches)

Queenie: Oh Darling Look! Forget-met-nots, and delightful! And a.... Whats that Bug Near It?

Kinger: It looks like a Monarch Butterfly Dear!

Queenie: *gasp* A fellow monarch!

She Let the Butterfly climb unto her Fingers, Both admiring the white spots and black Stripes

Zooble Picked Up a Red feather

Zooble: Hey You Think Niku would Like this? Like maybe It could be and antenna or a finger or something

Gangle: Oh its Beautiful! Maybe we can Find more... Oh look!

She pointed to a Blue Feather stuck in a Tree

Gangle: Its even Their Favorite Color!

Gangle: Don't worry I got It!

Gangle climbed up the Tree And reached Out for the Feather, before she could grab it The Branch Started to creak and break and she Fell down a ditch

Zooble: GANGLE!

They slid down the ditch

Zooble: Gangle, You alright?

Gangle was face down in the dirt, Her Comedy Mask broken

Gangle: ...Did...Did I get it?

Zooble: Don't worry about it, what matters is you're okay, ...wait, Whats that?

Zooble poked their head out of the Bushes

Zooble: hey Guys, I Think I found Something

The Rest of the Cast Slid down the Hill and saw The trees Covered In giant Claw marks

Kinger: We must be getting close!

Jax: Okay, heres what were gonna do, One of you guys Will Be bait, And Then I sneak up behind it and Stab repeatedly

Zooble: Oh wow, Great idea Jax, and What happens when in stabs you back?

Queenie held up Her Axe

Queenie: I SAY WE BEHEAD THE BEAST!

Ragtha: Wait! We don't have to kill it! Maybe Theirs a way we can trap it and release it far away from the mountain, what do You think Pomni?

Pomni: Um... Well maybe... Wait a second, where's the New guy?

Jax: I dunno, your the one who told Caine who'd watch him

Pomni: Oh God, We lost him!

Ragatha: D-don't Worry! He couldn't have gone far, We just have to Find him!

Later, The Boy was Walking in the forest by himself, using his Gelatinous body to Easily slither past the thrush

The Boy: Watta Bunch of Freaks... I don't need them! I don't need anyone! Im going to punch that Stupid Bear-Moose in the face and show them How brave and awesome I am! And If that Teeth face guy or those Psycho-Aid-Lia-Losers will know if they start acting weird, Im gonna Beat there #$@%es!

Twig snapped and The boy shrieked like a Girl

The Boy: *Cough* I mean- WHO GOES THERE?!

A shadow loomed over the Boy, with Giant Antlers and a Alligators Snout

The Boy: Is it raining or Something- OH MY GOD-

Pomni: God, Why'd he have to Wander off? Anyone find anything?

Kinger: I think I found Some Green Stuff!

Zooble: Thats just Moss Kinger

Zooble: Watch Your Mouth Jack@#%

Ragatha: Guys Stop! We shouldn't be fighting with eachother when A Kid is Lost in the forest with a Monster on the loose, We should Just stay calm and-

AAAAAAAA-

A blood curdling scream rang through the Forest

Pomni: Oh God! Thats him!

Queenie: OFF WITH ITS HEAD!

Queenie took out her Battleaxe and Sprinted towards the Screaming, Kinger eagerly following behind her

Kinger: Wait for Me Love!

Everyone Ran to the Screams of the Boy, And Found The Boy cowering against a rock with the Alibearmoosecoon, Cornering Him, The Beast Let out a roar which sounded like a mix between a Bear and a Moose

Pomni: DON'T WORRY, JUST STAY THERE WE'RE GONNA GET HELP!

Jax: I Got This!

Jax Took out his Pocket knife and Jumped on the back of the Beast and jammed the Blade deep in Its back, The Beast led out another Roar and Fell on its back before getting back up on its Giant paws, Leaving Jax Squished like a pancake, Gangle snickered at this

Jax: Ow...

Zooble: Nice going Dumb@#$

Queenie: STEP ASIDE, I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS BEAST!

The Alibearmoosecoon rushed towards her, She Used her axe to Parry against the beasts Antlers

Kinger: Woo! Go Queenie!

Kinger Clapped his Hands excitedly, Cheering for His wife, Pomni Snuck Past the Monster and Made her Way To The Boy

Pomni: Kid, Come with me! I'll get you out!

The Boy formed his hand to reach Pomni for a moment, before Retracting it back into himself

The Boy: I Told You! IM NOT A BABY!

The Boy lauched himself like a Spring and Jumped on the Beast's back and started punching it weakly, The Monster Flung its Head to the side, trying to Reach The Boy, Queenie went flying into the forest

Kinger: QUEENIE!

The Boy Grabbed the Alibearmoosecoon's antlers holding on like it was a Mechanical Bull Ride

The Boy: WA-HOO! DIE STUPID MOOSE, DIE!

Pomni: KID GET DOWN FROM THERE!! GUYS, DO SOMTHING!

Jax: What can We Do?!

Pomni: I Dont Know!? Something!?

Gangle Looked around Looking for something to Help, She Picked up a small Rock and Threw it at the Monster, The Monster Looked over to The rest of the cast and Started charging towards them sending them Running into the woods

Jax: Nice Going Ribbons! Now were all gonna Die!

Ragatha: NO ONE IS GOING TO DIE!

The Boy still holding on for dear Life and still punching The Monster on the Head, Poked the Beast in The Eye getting slime stuck in it, It scream in Pain and Flung the Boy off of It, Throwing Him against a Tree, The beast went charging at him and Started vigorously Clawing at the poor Child

Pomni: NO!!!

The boy Was nothing left put splatters of goo across the forest, The Creature turned back to Finsh the rest of the Cast, When the goop on its Alligator face started moving down its body and Towards where the boy was Previously cowering

Pomni: Huh?!

Gangle: Whats happening?!

The Slime splattered on the leaves, bushes, trees and rocks slithered towards eachother and formed a pile and into a small tower and into The boy, His Bright Orange Eye shooting across the area

The Boy: Im alive? IM ALIVE!

The beast roared at him again, and the Boy Ran launched himself into the forest with the Monster charging towards him, The boy Grabbed unto branches to push himself futher

Ragatha: HANG ON! WERE COMING!

Infront of him the Boy saw a giant ravine and stopped and clung to a tree branch right before he could fall, The Alibearmoosecoon ran right into The Ravine, it levitated in the air for a Moment Before Quietly saying "Uh Oh" and fell to its demise

Everyone Just looked down into the ravine completely expressionless

Jax: Huh, Can We go back now?

Later, everyone was exiting the portal and Into the Circus

Caine: Welcome Back you Malpracticed Mangos! I hope you all had a Wonderful experience!

Caine floated down to Pomni

Caine: So Did You talk To him?

Pomni: Well kinda-

She was cut off By the Boy Screaming and Falling from the ceiling and splattered on the floor and Reformed without a scratch

The Boy: COOL!!

The Boy intentionally sprinted into a nearby wall

Ragatha: um... What are you doing?

The Boy: I'M INVINCIBLE!! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!! I gotta see what else I can Do!

Pomni: Hey Wait!

Caine: Well At least he doesn't seem mad at me anymore!

Pomni gave him the side eye

Caine: What?

The continued to Test his New indestructiblity with increasingly More dangerous acts, He ran up To Gangle who was Gifting a Red feather to Niku

Gangle: I'm sorry I couldn't get you a Blue one

Niku: Quite Alright!! Much appreciated Muma!

Niku Stuck The Feather on the Side of Their head

The Boy: Hey Guys Look!

The Boy took three Knives and threw up in the Air, Letting them land On his Head and Niku and Gangle Screamed in horror and Shock

Niku: How could anyone do Such a Thing?!

The Boy: Calm down, Im fine! Wanna See it Again?

Niku: Nononononononon! Please no!

The boy rolled his eye and oozed away, and climbed up slithered up The giant Blocks unto the top

The boy: BEHOLD! THE MOST SPECULAR STUNT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN!

Princessa: What on earth Is he Doing?

Patchricia shrugged and they both looked up at him

The Boy leaped down the blocks, Splattering himself all over the Floor getting Bits of himself all Over the Two Girls, causing them both to Scream

Patchricia: EEEEEEEEWWW!!!

Princessa: GROSS, GROSS GROSS GET IT OFF!

They boy reshaped himself not leaving a single drop

The Boy: Pfft Losers

Patchricia: FREAK!

The Boy: Whatever, You can go Get Stabbed!

The Boy continued his Self-injury spree, each one becoming more and more dangerous, Squishing himself under Blocks, Letting Gloinks try to tear him apart, Even setting himself ablaze, Making Every person with morals concerned

Princely: STOP IT! YOU'RE GONNA GET HURT!!

The Boy: Calm Down dude! I won't get hurt!

Princely: Why is He doing this?! Isn't he scared?!

Princessa: He doesn't have A real body Princely, Just pure Glop

Princely: I know, but still!

The Boy carried on to injure himself through the week, Testing the Limits of his Resistance to pain, stabbing himself with Darts, Beheading himself with Queenie's axe, and even shooting himself with a Gun He found, even Making the most nonchalant cast members and Pals uncomfortable

The Boy: THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!! IM GONNA LIVE FOREVER!!!-

He was cut off when he Felt a Sharp, pricking sensation shoot through his Eye, He couldn't See what it was Because He went completely blind, He screamed in pain as loud as possible, calling For help

Enock dropped the Bow

Enock: OH MY GOSH! MOM! MOM!

Pomni was Helping Him get the Arrow out of his eye, pulling on it Causing more Pain For the Poor boy

The Boy: OW! OW! OW!-

Pomni: Hold still!

Pomni was able to yank the Arrow out of His eye, letting The Boys vision return

Pomni: Maybe you shouldn't play with Arrows...

The Boy: Yeah Okay..- Wait No- Im mean- YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!! I DO WHAT I WANT!!

The Boy Raspberries at Pomni and Sprung away

Pomni: HEY!

The Boy slithered away from Everyone

The Boy: Whatta bunch of loser dorks...

Enock: GREENIE GUY! GREENIE GUY!

The Boy: Oh great...

Enock ran Up to him, Crying profusely

Enock: IM SO SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO SHOOT YOU IN THE EYE ITS JUST YOUR FACE LOOKED KINDA LIKE A TARGET AND I GOT CONFUSED I KNOW YOU ASKED ME TO SHOOT YOU WITH A ARROW BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE AND MY AIM IS REALLY AND I'M SOOOORRRYYY

Enock continued to Apologize to him over and over, nearly incomprehensible due to his Crying, The Boy Just stared at him like he was bathing in peanut and jelly in public naked

The Boy: Dude- Dude- Dude calm down its fine! Im okay! God!

Enock: Are you sure?! You're not upset?!

The Boy: Well.. I mean...

Enock out stretched his Arms and The boy back away from him

The Boy: Weirdo...

Enock: *sniffles* sorry...

The Boy oozed away from Enock, leaving him crying by all by himself and alone

Caine: Heya Sport! I found a Rock that kinda looked your Mother and-

Caine Noticed His Son was Crying

Caine: Enock what's wrong son?

Enock: *sniffles* I accidentally shoot the slimy guy and He's mad at me now

Caine: You shot him?!

Enock: Yeah... With a Bow

the leopard seal-eyed azhdarchid-basilosaurs that called themselves the Federation of Eaters claimed dominion over eleven planets around nine blue-white stars and were in the process of terraforming four more. it was through them that we learned of the terrified squeaking ice-rodents and pigeon-sheep that wove cloud-bread from the seeds of brass dandelions and hid behind armadas of omen-kites armed with verses of poetry that ate themselves into battleship armor and firework-warheads that rained down thermite and plutonium-chaff across continents. they claimed the protection of ancient oaths with the Monarchs and Daughters, scissor-jointed insectile dolls with enamel skin and lungs for marrow, eusocial workers tilling the floral farmlands and orchards of four hundred and ten tropical worlds orbiting vast red charcoals smeared across the sky. soldier-daughters like butterflies the size of moose with antlers twisted into the shapes of seige equipment and alien chess pieces accompanied the semaphore-diplomats with hypnotic agate eyespots, and eventually we learned of their hive-palaces stocked with vaults of eggs, factories, workshops, nurseries, refectories and dormitories, of their queens and princes and the peculiar lives of their princesses, who spend much of their lives thrusting themselves into reckless adventures hoping to bring back fortunes of enough benefit to their hive-palace to earn themselves the right to breed, the complex system of interdependencies their morphs had on each other based on their diets, the soldiers and monarchs fed on the honey-wine and bread-like Ration fermented in the crops of the workers. it was in one of the polarized glass guildhalls of the Federation of Eaters, propped up by twelve stout trees like skyscraper-tall brass horsetails, that we made a kind of peace with the bronze-feathered gryphons who raided our worlds, and with their hunting partners: predatory stormclouds with neon dreams, gelatin-boned alligator-slugs, greasy-pelted coyote-serpents who wore sweat-and-sex-and-gasoline perfumes. they claimed dominion over seventy-one planets whose ecosystems were all in various states of recovery from the not-infrequent nuclear exchanges they settled their most heated arguments with

Updated Character Profiles!!!

https://toyhou.se/cupboardgods/characters

I've been working really hard over the last two weeks to beef up my toyhouse. I've uploaded over 300 new images across all profiles and finished writing bios for my most important characters.

Many of the profiles are still a WIP, but here are the completed ones:

The way things are set up, no one single profile will give you the entire story. But if you read multiple profiles, you should be able to pick up on the plot as a whole.

If you're at all interested in my ocs, now you have a place to read about them. This the first time I've put this much info about my personal projects online. I'm sure this will mainly be a resource for me, but I'm hoping other people will check it out too.

Story synopses under the cut!

Princess Paz

Princess Paz is a prodigy genius and scholar, widely beloved by all her kingdom. She was prophesied at birth to bring her country into a golden age at the dawning of her adulthood. However, she hasn’t slept even a minute since her 13th birthday. The adults in her life believe her insomnia is the prophecy come true, but her obstinate sister Corrin is convinced it's actually a curse. While Corrin goes searching for the answers, an otherworldly monster is let loose in the palace. 

Fairies (temp title)

The fairy territory is witnessing its first ever monarch rise to power. Queen Silicaris towers over even the tallest fairies. Her body looks and moves as if it's made of molten glass, but her most devout followers insist she is the purest crystal. The queen has been hosting processions and parades through all parts of the fairy territory. She takes her seat at the new house of government in the Big Tree near the creek bed. 

Beryl, a young courtier befriends Lark, the lone archivist. Together, they begin to suspect something unsavory is going on with the new queen. After getting too close to the truth, Beryl goes missing from the Big Tree--he wakes up in an unfamiliar forest and meets Agate, another fairy from his homeland who knows nothing of the queen.

Collision

It's the year 21XX; Adair is an auditor for the newly formed government agency called the Offworld Management Department (affectionately called DOOM--Department Of Offworld Management--by its employees). A little over one year prior to the start of the (actual) story, Adair survives a hit and run that knocks him and his motorbike off the edge of a highway ramp, critically injuring him. After a long time off work, he's ready to get back out in the field with his new assistant and best friend Cecil. What he doesn't know is that the accident was not an accident, but an attempt to kill him. Who would put a hit out on a nobody government worker? NOTE: Cecil, Adair, and Nica are some of my oldest ocs--I mostly put them in domestic scenarios and have fun with their personalities.

Moose (temp title)

After an earthquake, Moose and her friends Devon and Rem develop paranormal abilities while on a camping trip the summer after high school graduation. A few days later, Devon and his car disappear right in front of Moose and Rem's eyes. As they make their way back home without him, Moose sinks into a deep, desperate anguish. Once they reach their home city, it seems that the paranormal abilities have proliferated throughout the public, and Devon is still nowhere to be found.

[kariachi]

I don’t know from actual full stories but here’s some brief bits about fuckers Settling, because the brain can’t decide. Mostly the Plumber Brats, but also I put Rook and Anan in here because I had thoughts.

~~

Pierce & Gemma- “The day their grandpair declared them responsible enough to watch the shop while they went down the street to grab lunch Gemma made herself into a perentie, curled beside the counter ‘to ward off robbers’. Whether it would have worked, a thirty-pound lizard and a particularly small twelve-year-old scaring off anything, nobody would ever know, but it must have been a good shape for something because she kept it.”

Alan & Monarch- “When people hear ‘we got arrested the day we Settled’ they tend to assume that the two occasions were concurrent. Certainly arrest was worth Settling over, especially when it involved getting hit with a car, or at least the fighting and running and taking out a secret alien weather control machine that followed should have been more than just cause for a dramatic Settling. But no, no they didn’t Settle until later that night. Halfway home Monarch had stopped on the side of the road, heaved a sigh like she was dropping the weight of the world, and shrunk from a great moose to a large goat. And that had been the end of that.”

Manny & Teresa- “Until the day they died Manny and Tere would puff out their chests and crow to the sun and moon about how they brute forced Settling. Word had come in that yet another of their cousins back on Khoros had managed it, and being the last of their age group in the family to do so just could not be allowed. So, they’d sat down, picked a shape, and stuck with it until they Settled. The fact they’d been going for a caiman like their grandpair and ended up a baboon somehow never managed to come up.”

Cooper & Raelene- “There were a lot of false starts with Rae. She was known for her lazy nature, taking the rest Cooper couldn’t seem to truly allow himself, loathe to do anymore than she had to, and this had always extended to changing her shape as well. She’d spent three months as a horseshoe bat when they were six, panicked all the adults in their life, only to decide she actually didn’t like being a bat and spend the next four days as a mydas fly. The trend continued like that for the majority of their childhood, with her shifting everywhere from once every few days to once every few months. So, when after nearly five weeks as a wombat she stood up, made some minor adjustments to the shape, circled once, and laid back down on her cushion with a ‘this one’, Cooper felt he could be forgiven for not noticing until she’d said it thrice.”

Rook & Anan- “On the eave of their eleventh birthday Blonko and Anan- then still nameless- had vowed to go off into the wilderness and stay there until they Settled. That ‘going into the wilderness’ in this case meant pitching a tent on top of the cliff overlooking the far field, and that their parents came out daily with warm meals for them and to drop off their baby siblings to be babysat didn’t enter into the matter. It was during one of these sessions that the little shifting bundle that would one day be Salim catapulted herself onto his head, crowing for play in tune with her other half. They were still too young yet to know better, and Anan shifted into one of the livestock guards as she plucked her away, Blonko pulling their brother into his lap, both chuckling in fond amusement.

The celebratory dinner that was waiting at home that evening would be sweet.”

Elena & Celio- “The day Celio Settled was one of those ones that make you worry you’ve been stuck in some dreamscape to hide the apocalypse. Their parents had made their favorite breakfasts, their geography teacher’s baby had come a week early so that day’s test was cancelled, they were- again- serving their favorite at lunch, and the soccer game they’d had after school had been a six-to-one victory. Anything else amazing would have been easy to lose in the crowd, but there was nothing that could’ve drowned out Celio’s quiet voice in Elena’s ear, full of the excited vibrating he was too small to manage properly as he realized he couldn’t change, that this was it, they were Settled-

For the first and only time since he’d started being bugs, she was happy she couldn’t hug him.”

Mike & Ruth- “They’d expected, hoped for, something different. Something showy, or grand, or at least a good story. Instead they got to be curled up on their bed reading together when Ruth ruffled her feathers, going from reds and purples to a drab olive green as they settled back in, and declared this It. Neither was the type to whoop or holler, instead they’d headed right to the computer and started trying to figure out which of the five million green parrot species they were. Just one out a crowd... Still, drab and unremarkable she may have looked, the shape at least felt right. Even as they read about the claims of kea eating sheep alive and Mike’s teeth grated together. As a quick check proved the half of their parents who were ever home still gave no shits and Ruth trilled in the most enraged of ways. The shape felt right, being a kea felt right. No matter what they had going on, or what anyone thought.

They told Elena, Celio, and their siring-pairs, and to hell with everyone else.”

Helen & Bradach- “Their first and for a good long time only trip out on a boat was absolutely miserable. It’d been a small fishing boat belonging to a friend of their grandpair’s, and the owners had offered to take them, Pierce, and Gemma out for the day alongside their own grandchildren. The whole time the boat had rocked and swayed with the waves in a way wholly unnatural to Kinecelerans and the second time Helen threw up over the side- to Gemma’s quips about ‘the worst way to attract fish’- everyone had agreed to just head back in and spend the day doing something else. That, the moment they got back onto dry land, was the moment Bradach Settled, dropping onto the dirt, nestling in, and swearing he would never leave it again. There’d been laughing and teasing, followed by congratulations from pretty much everyone in the vicinity when they all realized what had just happened.

The boat was miserable, but Settling? Plus getting a whole ice cream cake before being dropped off back their grandpairs? Totally worth it.”

Royal Canadian Mint Coins: A Collector’s Guide

The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) is globally recognized for its high-quality coinage, innovative designs, and technological advancements in minting. Whether you are an avid collector, a numismatic enthusiast, or an investor, understanding the Royal Canadian Mint’s offerings can help you build a valuable collection. This guide explores the history, types, notable series, and investment potential of Royal Canadian Mint coins.

A Brief History of the Royal Canadian Mint

Established in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint was originally a branch of the British Royal Mint, striking its first domestically produced coin that year. By 1931, it became fully independent, responsible for designing and producing Canada’s circulation coins. Over the years, the Mint has pioneered several innovative technologies, including colorized coins, holographic designs, and ultra-high-relief strikes, making it one of the most advanced mints in the world.

Types of Royal Canadian Mint Coins

The Royal Canadian Mint produces a diverse range of coins, catering to different audiences, including collectors, investors, and the general public. These include:

1. Circulation Coins

Canada’s everyday currency, including pennies (discontinued in 2012), nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies ($1 coins), and toonies ($2 coins), are produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. While most circulation coins are used in daily transactions, some special editions or errors have become highly sought after by collectors.

2. Commemorative Coins

RCM frequently issues commemorative coins to mark significant historical events, anniversaries, and cultural icons. These include themes such as:

The 2017 Canada 150 celebration series

Olympic-themed coins

Wildlife and nature conservation commemoratives

Royal-themed coins featuring monarchs and royal family members

3. Bullion Coins

For investors, the Royal Canadian Mint produces bullion coins in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Some of the most notable bullion series include:

Canadian Gold Maple Leaf: One of the world’s purest gold coins (99.99% pure)

Canadian Silver Maple Leaf: A highly sought-after silver coin, also with 99.99% purity

Platinum and Palladium Maple Leafs: Limited-edition options for diversified investments

4. Numismatic Coins

Numismatic coins are produced in limited mintages and often feature unique designs, innovative minting techniques, and premium packaging. These coins are highly collectible and can increase in value over time due to their rarity and artistic appeal.

5. Proof Sets and Special Edition Coins

Collectors can also purchase proof sets, which include specially struck coins with mirror-like finishes, as well as unique editions such as glow-in-the-dark, colorized, and 3D-enhanced coins.

Notable Royal Canadian Mint Coin Series

1. Wildlife Series

The RCM has released multiple wildlife-themed collections, showcasing Canada’s diverse fauna. Some of the most popular wildlife coin series include:

The Birds of Prey Series featuring detailed engravings of eagles, falcons, and owls

The Canadian Wildlife Series, which included images of wolves, moose, and grizzly bears

2. The Superman Coin Series

To celebrate Canadian comic book history, the Mint has issued coins featuring Superman and other iconic DC characters. These coins have gained popularity among pop culture collectors.

3. The Lunar Series

Inspired by the Chinese zodiac, the RCM’s Lunar Series features animals from the traditional lunar calendar, making them highly desirable among both collectors and those celebrating cultural heritage.

4. Historical Events and Anniversaries

The Mint has issued coins commemorating significant events such as the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the 75th anniversary of D-Day. These coins serve as historical artifacts as well as valuable collectibles.

How to Start Collecting Royal Canadian Mint Coins

If you’re interested in building a collection of Royal Canadian Mint coins, follow these key steps:

1. Determine Your Collecting Goals

Decide whether you want to collect coins for their historical significance, artistic design, investment potential, or personal interest. Understanding your motivation will help guide your purchases.

2. Research and Stay Updated

Follow the Royal Canadian Mint’s official website, numismatic forums, and collector groups to stay informed about new releases and market trends. Limited-edition coins often sell out quickly, so being informed is crucial.

3. Purchase from Reputable Sources

Always buy coins from trusted dealers, official RCM outlets, or reputable online platforms to ensure authenticity. Be cautious of counterfeit coins, especially with high-value collectibles.

4. Proper Storage and Handling

Coins should be stored in protective cases or albums to prevent damage from humidity, fingerprints, or scratches. Avoid cleaning coins, as this can decrease their value.

5. Consider Grading and Certification

For rare or high-value coins, consider having them graded by professional grading services like the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) or the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Certified coins often have higher resale values.

Investing in Royal Canadian Mint Coins

While many collectors acquire RCM coins for personal enjoyment, others view them as an investment. Here are some factors to consider if you are purchasing coins as an investment:

1. Metal Value

Bullion coins, such as gold and silver Maple Leafs, derive value primarily from the precious metal content. Investors often buy these coins to hedge against inflation and economic instability.

2. Rarity and Demand

Limited-mintage numismatic coins can appreciate significantly in value over time. Coins with unique designs, historical significance, or errors tend to be the most sought-after by collectors.

3. Market Trends

Tracking the coin market and understanding trends in numismatics can help investors make informed decisions. Coins that commemorate special events or are tied to pop culture often experience high demand upon release.

4. Long-Term vs. Short-Term Investment

Some coins, particularly bullion, may serve as short-term investments, while numismatic and commemorative coins typically yield greater returns over a longer period.

Conclusion

The Royal Canadian Mint has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest coins in the world, making them highly desirable for collectors and investors alike. Whether you’re drawn to commemorative editions, wildlife series, or investment-grade bullion, the RCM offers a vast array of options. By staying informed, purchasing from reputable sources, and properly caring for your collection, you can build a valuable and rewarding portfolio of Canadian coins. Whether for passion or profit, collecting Royal Canadian Mint coins is a fascinating and enriching pursuit.

Decided to do a sequel to this because the list will never end:

7. Honey Badger Power

Honestly it wasn't until after I finished watching The Lion Guard where I realized, "Hey, I kinda want the honey badger suit to come back and for Martin to wear it because he looks like Bunga."

8. Butterfly Power

Honestly, it's S7's fault that I even started giving that much of a damn about this particular powersuit. In the most recent episode (Fish Out of Water), Chris looks for a Butterfly Power Disc to activate - He says this whilst they're flying in a swarm of Painted Jezebels (finally identified that fucking species). Jezebels and Monarchs are in a completely different family and genus. Which begs the question of did Aviva modify the disc to be multi-species like with the Crocodillian Power Suit, or did she invent a completely different Butterfly Disc altogether? I don't know, but now I want to!

9. Moose Power

I'm 100% cheating with this one. Because an episode centering around moose is indeed coming! During Wild Kratts Live 2.0, the Kratt Brothers teased new episodes featuring new animals, including but not limited to moose.

Ignoring the fact that we are almost 14 years into this show's run, ignoring the fact that we've already seen a moose-inspired Creature Power Suit.... I'm still on some level excited. There are a lot of cool facts to discover about moose. I'm guessing that it'll be a comparison episode between moose and other members of the moose family (which means they could activate White Tail Deer Power again). But yeah, I am 99% sure that we will see the Moose Power Suit again before Season 7 ends, and I hope that is the case.

10. Caracal Power

Again, should also be self-explanatory, but fuck it. This show is 100% the only reason I know what a caracal is, that it exists, and that I love them to death at the age I am. Very few people who know what a caracal is are people who have not watched this show which is a feat. It was cool enough seeing a caracal in the S6 finale, and it'd be even better seeing the Caracal Power Suit come back. It was seen in the original version of the live show, it damn well should show up again.

Also obligatory Big Floppa joke here.

11. Eyelash Viper Power

No reason, I just adore the aesthetic. I really like how it 99% incorporates the actual animal's color, with the signature Power Suit color still in affect in appropriate places. The art direction on this show is so fucking good and suits like these are exactly why. Would not at all mind this suit making a comeback in future.

Creature Power Suits I wanna see make a re-appearance in future episodes/seasons

In no particular order, here are a few Creature Powers that have either had a one-off appearance, or haven't been used in a while that I'd like to see return in Season 7 or any future seasons onward.

1. Remora Power

This suit has been used more in the flash games than it has in the actual show which is so weird. I like its design, but also I think it could be a good way to discover the creature powers of more aquatic mammals just by attaching to them to get data. Plus I highkey wanna see Chris in the Remora Suit, (13 years of waiting.... 13 years).

2. Platypus Power

The last time we even saw a reference of this suit was back in Season 2 where Chris traded the Hippo Disc for the Platypus Suit. I REALLY wanna see that come into play where Chris is the one who uses the suit (ideally in an episode where the crew returns to Australia, which is what I and several other fans have been anticipating ever since the season was announced)

3. Dragonfly Power

More specifically, with the early Season 3 design (i.e. the season 1 design but with the basket legs included) Not whatever the heck this was.

I like the more simplified look with the original design of the suit, but regardless, the last time we saw this was in Season 4. I'm hoping we see it again, ideally with the suit's earlier design (likely not, if we get the redesigned version I'll just grin and bear it).

4. Crocodillian Power

I'm counting the three Crocodillian-inspired suits as one entity (even though gharials are not classified as crocs bc of the genetic differences, they are still in the same order). All of then are just plain badass. And I really like how the suit varies between the different species of croc rather than just a new disc needing to be created for each individual species (kinda one of my nitpicks about the later seasons but whatever). I hope we see more of either of the three, or even better, have episodes with more species of crocodiles like Saltwater Crocs or Muggers so that we can see more variants of the suit. Or maybe even an origin story for the Gharial Power Disc.

5. Octopus Power

I'm cheating a little bit but we've seen the Octo Power Suit and Disc in the series as cameos so I'm counting it. Regardless, it's a really cool Creature Power Suit just by design. And looking at the powers of the Octopod, we were robbed of seeing the suits themselves in action (though I understand why they couldn't be used in the episode bc Seven stole them).

Given the compatibility between Octopus and Squid, we could have an episode comparing and contrasting the two species and their respective Creature Powers. Maybe even bring back the Octopod for this adventure (okay maybe not bc of obvious reasons but still!)

6. T-Devil Power

Self. Explanatory.

What are suits that you wanna see make a comeback in future episodes?
