Some ASOMAM sketches ( part 2 )

Princess Leiko of the Jogos Nghai

One of my fave ASOMAM designs ever. For Princess Leiko, I went with more similarly to Empress Borte and Princess Yue vibes - fit for a real Mongolian fantasy Princess. For this design, I went with a Kazakh style hat with Mongol ornaments, a Mongol style riding fancy robe, with stylish Mongol style riding heeled boots ( yes, Mongols regularly wear heeled boots on horseback ). And ofc Princess Leiko regularly wears her long black hair in ornate braids.

Lady Katy Chen of Lenghi

Katy Chen was pretty fun for me to design too! A reason I went with Lenghi is cuz in MCU, she comes from Hunan which is in South of China. And Prince Shang Chi would be in danger if he ran off to Yi Ti when he was a teen, so it's better off for him to be warded in Lenghi for some time.

Anyway for Lady Katy Chen, I imagined her family to be more Southeast Asian/Vietnamese like vibes ( Lenghi is inspired by Southeast Asia ). So I up and modeled this outfit after a pretty Ancient Viet robe that I really like. Katy's wardrobe in this is more simple yet opulent - like graceful fit for a feudal lady, yet also practical and edgy fitting her personality 😁😁😁

Xialing of the Jade Seas

For this belligerent pirate of the Jade Seas, I'm inspired by the Peking Opera warrior costumes and also Ching Shih's suits for this design. She actually often wears her shorter hair in simple buns for practicality 😁😁

Dowager Queen Ramonda

All hail the Dowager Queen of Wakanda herself! I HAD to draw her iconic purple outfit in Wakanda forever - that outfit SCREAMS business to those vibranium robbers, indeed. 😎😎😎

Queen Nakia of Wakanda

Hail the Queen of Wakanda! Like in MCU, Nakia often wears green and blue with more watery elements ( akin to her heritage in the River Tribe of Wakanda ). So I was inspired by a green mission outfit of hers in Black Panther 1 to draw this fit.

Also the crown on her head is inspired by an artwork of Queen Makeda of Sheba ( who becomes a style inspo for my costume designs for Ramonda, Nakia and Shuri in ASOMAM ) that I came across. 😁

Princess Shuri of Wakanda

I was wondering whether to go for short or long hair for Shuri and Nakia in this since they both look so good in short and long hair. And then I went ahead with their hairs in BP 1

That being said, I envisioned Shuri's wardrobe to be kinda like an African fantasy version of Princess Leia's fits, so ofc that goes with her hairstyle in this drawing. ( Namor definitely likes it 😁😁 )

Lady Gwen Stacy/Spider Gwen

For Lady Gwen, I took some inspos from Astrid Hofferson when designing her shieldmaiden fits. As Spider Gwen, she covers her face in a face mask hood ( like Miles and Peytr ). Outside her shieldmaiden fits, she wears practical and stylish dresses that allows for much movement

Lady Laura

This is really fun for me to design cuz I went with a more Medieval Soft boho vibe when designing Laura in ASOMAM. So ofc, the flowers from the Reach are what she sometimes wears

Jean Grey of the X Council

And finally, Lady Jean Grey of the X Council! I went ahead to model her designs in ASOMAM on the paintings of Italian Renaissance ladies. And she often dresses in red and gold and flame/solar fits ( yeah, Scott Summers definitely approves this fit ) 😁😁😁

Aaaaand that's all for now! I may do more ASOMAM moodboards and sketches later, as I continue reading this wonderful series that I think DESERVES to be an animated series!

Popsicle (Oni × Namora)

I plan on writing one for Attoye and Nashuri when I get some free time. 🫶🏾

It was a hot day in Wakanda and everyone was desperate to either cool down in the river or eat something cold.

The icee vendors had lines so long, that people didn't dare to add to it. Either going home to fetch something refreshing or floating in the Wakandan river to stay cool.

It was getting to the point that several Wakandans had either went to the Jabari Lands or Talokan to escape the simmering sun, because the river wasn't cutting it.

Although, Namora found the sun pretty, she hated how hot the summer could get.

Instead of her usual armor, she was dressed in an orange loincloth and a cropped red tube top.

Her skin was flushed purple from the heat and her hair was tied up in a bun, to keep her skin from heating up further.

It was hard to be on land today, but she was desperate to see the priestess.

She was often covered in long sleeve dresses and veiled. So if she were ever to see more of her, it would be today of all days. Her inner fashion fanatic was itching to see what kind of swimwear she'd dawn as priestess of Wakanda.

Maybe a one piece and a veil?

Would she wear a veil on such a hot day?

How would the people accommodate their priestess when it was 100+ degrees farenheit out here?

Would they be expected to not look at her while she graced Wakanda with her unveiled face or would they give her something else to wear?

Her blush darkened as she imagined her in a set of skimpy swimwear with a mask.

"Namora, you are more purple than the plums of Wakanda." Attuma teased her with a soft splash that cooled and dampened her shoulders. "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

Namor approached her with a curious brow. "Probably her land flower."

"She is a water lily." Namora corrected with a huff.

"I guess it's fitting if they have to float on the surface." Attuma teased before accepting a face full of water.

"Do not mock, in Yuum k'iino'."

Namor chuckled. "In Yuum k'iino', in lool, or in yakunaj?"

Namora splashed him as her blush deepened into a rich violet. "Xe!"

"Aw Namora. Don't tell us to go away." Attuma scooped her out of the water and hugged her tight. "We are worried for you."

"Let go of me, you overgrown shark." She scowled and smacked at him like an angry cat. "You both lack the brain cells to worry about anyone else!"

"If we lacked the brain cells, we wouldn't know you were over here having nasty thought about your crush." Attuma hummed.

"A crush you cannot act on." Namor reminded.

"Don't remind me." Namora grumbled.

"The two of you have so much sexual tension, you probably visit each other in each other's dreams."

"I wish." Namora groaned.

''Chaac will not be cruel. I'm sure something will come around." Attuma set her down before patting her softly on the back.

"You think so?" Namora mumbled.

"Yes." Namor gently cupped her cheeks. "Do not feel defeated, mm? You can still be around her until things change."

"If things change."

"Have faith."

"Eh."

"Have you even seen her today?" Attuma furrowed his eyebrows.

"No. I'd faint by the time I reached the marketplace in this heat."

"Why don't you ask Shuri about Oni's whereabouts?" Namor arched a brow. "Maybe she can ask Oni to come here to see you?"

Her eyes lifted to see Shuri slowly making her way down the hill with Okoye, Aneka, and Ayo sporting bathing suits of different styles.

"I don't know." She murmured. "I don't want people misunderstanding me."

"Because you have a crush?"

"I don't need another Cebisa in my life."

"Hey come on. If anyone knows, Queen Shuri would." Attuma offered. "If not her, K'iin would. I'm sure they'd understand that you're hoping for a friendly interaction."

Namora puffed her cheeks. "I'm not asking your partners."

"Do you want one of us to ask?" Namor tilted his head.

"No." She frowned. "She will either come to me or I will crawl to her."

They both chuckled as she turned her back to the shore and glared at the water.

As if she were summoned by their discussion, a cheery shout sounded from the market area as Oni came running forward with a large cart. The Jabari king, following after her with a few temple workers carrying a few coolers.

"Popsicles! Come get your free popsicles!"

"Ah. Would you look at that." Attuma chuckled. "She descends upon us like a shooting star."

Namora's head snapped around to see the priestess giggling and laughing as she donned a lilac bikini and matching colored lace veil.

Her eyes were saucers as she watched the priestess hand out frozen rectangles on a stick, cheerily greeting people who thanked her for the cold dessert. M'Baku stood next to her, helping her hand treats out, looking just as stylish as his cousin.

"A purple one." Namor added before refocusing on his cousin. "Almost the color of your face-"

Namora silenced him with a large splash before getting out of the river and quickly making her way towards her crush.

Her hopes of seeing the priestess were quickly squashed when she was forced to stand at the very end of the line by a few angry individuals.

She was tempted to beat everyone's ass, but she didn't want to upset Oni.

If she dared to wait until she got to the front, she'd risk fainting and waking up with Chaac.

Namora, however, was determined and stubborn.

Oni was worth the risk.

She would conquer the sun and collect a frozen treat from the priestess, even if it killed her.

She would bask in her attention and compliment her attire and then invite her to eat with her. And then she'd get the honor of spending the rest of the day with the most beautiful soul of the surface world.

Maybe they could go for a swim.

Her mind dissociated from her body, daydreaming up a million and one scenarios that fueled her will to endure the scorching sun.

After fifteen minutes of waiting, she finally made it to the front.

A little lightheaded and sore from the sun, but happy nonetheless.

"Hi Namora."

This was it.

She had been practicing english nonstop just for this very moment.

The warrior smiled behind her rebreather. "Hello, Yuum k'iino."

"What flavor popsicle do you want?"

"Surprise me."

Oni hummed as she looked down into the cart while M'Baku served the next person in line a treat, her breasts fully on display to the talokanil warrior as her veiled face debated on a flavor.

Her skin glistened with sweat, a non-ashy sunscreen, and fine glitter that shifted between bronze and warm lavender.

The lilac bikini was plain and held together with a series of crisscrossing strings that promised strange tan lines.

Namora couldn't refrain from staring, her mind desperate to burn the image of the veiled woman into her brain.

All those years of training had done her wonders.

And there were no scars to show for it- although that was probably Bast refusing to have a scarred vessel.

"Mmm..."

Namora blinked back to reality at the sound.

"...you look like an orange creamsicle type of person." Oni hummed as she pressed her chest against the top of the cart while reaching in to grab the flavor she named. "Here." She stood up and held it out.

Namora let out a shaky breath as she watched. "Thank you." She grabbed it carefully before furrowing her eyebrows. "Can you eat one with me? I've never had this kind of treat before."

Oni offered a small nod before reaching in and grabbing out another. "Umzala, can I step away real quick?"

He offered a nod before arching a brow at them. "Don't take too long."

"I won't. It's just a quick snack break." She waved her popsicle at her cousin before walking with Namora to find a spot to sit and eat.

The Jabari king rolled his eyes as he watched them retreat.

"You've never had a popsicle before?" Oni looked at her from behind her veil.

Namora shook her head. "We do not have these in Talokan."

"But you've been to the surface world..."

"To kill my enemies."

They settled on the river shore, in a spot that was significantly less crowded.

Basically desolate, minus a person who had nodded off while reading a book a few feet away in an umbrellaed chair.

No one else dared to sit over there due to the lack of shade.

Music played softly in the background from sleeping Wakandan's stereo adding to the ambience of the warrior and the priestess' little date.

"Well let's nip this first time experience in the bud." Oni hummed as she unwrapped her popsicle and held it up. "You just unwrap it and eat it."

Namora unwrapped it and pulled off her facial rebreather before biting the popsicle.

Oni couldn't refrain from giggling as the woman recoiled with discomfort.

"I do not like it."

"You can't bite it when it's that hard, Namora."

"Then what am I supposed to do with this?"

"Suck it or lick it."

Namora blinked as her mind went diving headfirst into a gutter.

Oni sucking and licking-

"What?"

"Watch." Oni hummed as she lifted her veil enough to reveal her glossy two-toned lips before taking the tip of the popsicle into her mouth.

Her cheeks hollowed briefly as she sucked before she dragged her tongue up the side of the orange and white treat.

"You're supposed to use your mouth to melt it." She licked her lips. "And then when it's soft enough, you can bite it." She sucked on the popsicle a little more before sinking a canine into it, to bite off a chunk. "Like so."

Namora watched her chew a little before swallowing with parted lips.

"Try it." She smiled.

The warrior put the popsicle into her mouth and sucked as instructed.

Oni tilted her head. "Like it?"

"I guess so. The eating process is odd." Namora offered before trailing her tongue across the popsicle with purpled cheeks.

Oni shrugged. "It's only odd if you make it odd." She grinned before refocusing on eating her popsicle.

Namora looked out to the river shyly.

They ate quietly until Namora let out a sharp gasp and began to curse under her breath in her native tongue.

"What's wrong?" Oni blinked.

"Stupid treat, got in my top." Namora grumbled.

"Oh? Let me help." Oni hummed before handing her, her frozen treat.

"I don't need-" Namora fell silent as the priestess grabbed her breasts and groped them experimentally, being careful that no one could see what was happening.

"Well it's not under them, so it must be between them." She hummed before sliding a cold hand under the band of fabric.

"Oni-"

"-Got it." She held up the frozen chunk and popped it into her mouth before leaning forward.

Her two-toned lips looked so soft, Namora's head was spinning at the thought of biting her or kissing her pretty ass until she was breathless.

Why was Oni such a demon?

"Do you need me to clean it up? I doubt you'd want your skin to get sticky." She gently rested her hands on her azure thighs. "Right?"

Namora was so purple, her breath slowly became ragged at the thought of Oni licking and sucking on her breasts.

"For someone who has vows to keep, you're awful at trying to keep them." Namora shivered as she priestess leaned in, so that their lips were barely touching. "Especially when we are in public."

Oni leaned back after fixing the warrior's top. "Fine. I'll be normal and get you a damp napkin."

"Thank you."

"Mhm."

Namora watched the priestess get up and walk away with swaying hips before wincing as a ball hit her in the face.

Her nose started bleeding and her face stung from the sheer force.

Cebisa approached slowly with a small group of apologetic children.

"Ma'taali'teeni' General Namora!" One talokanil kid pouted behind their rebreather.

"We didn't mean for the ball to hit you and make you bleed!"  A Wakandan kid panicked. "We were playing catch with Shaman Cebisa and the ball-"

Another kid made a whistling while a fourth reenacted her fate.

Namora knew exactly why the ball had hit her in the face.

Cebisa's expression was cordial but smug.

The threat was clear.

Oni has vows and she was not supposed to be participating in the breaking of them.

She looked at the two fallen popsicles and got up with a frown. "Don't worry about it. It's nothing a quick swim can't fix."

"Perhaps you should take a long one." Cebisa offered. "I know the sun can be hard on the people of Talokan."

Namora frowned. "Discomfort is the norm when walking the surface."

"Well let's hope you stop walking towards things you cannot touch." She forced a smile. "I'd hate for you to cause irreversible damage."

"Of course." Namora forced a smile after licking some of her blood that had trailed down to her bottom lip.

The kids recollected their ball and retreated with the shaman, leaving Namora to her thoughts.

Namora rolled her eyes before grabbing her rebreather and stepping into the river.

She'd gotten something out of today.

She would not cross that line again.

At least, not again in the same day.

She turned around to see Oni talking to her cousin and smiled.

She'd have to pray for another hot summer day.

The warrior refocused on the river as she walked further in, before vanishing below the water's surface.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

yes! i think it's so sweet and intimate when someone takes the time to not only read and kudos my work but also leave an appreciative response,,,, i reciprocate a lot and as a reader, commenting is a bit intimidating so i rlly value the initiation!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i don't think anything i have out yet is too sad (but i'm angst tone deaf at times) although 'The Realm's Sweetness' is def the one that comes to mind. it's based on canon/my take on a lore accurate asoiaf storyline for lucemond so,,,,, yikes,,,

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

'love in the dark' and 'brutus' are a tie for that one. rhaenicent get to run away together and live domestically while lucemond get to rule and start their own little family despite,,, the horrors.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

actually not really. i've gotten condescending/backhanded comments but the only fic i've gotten a crumb of real hate on is my fic concept art which was.... interesting....

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

i do! i write the bad kind <3 no but srsly it's just nothing crazy or fun (imo)

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

no,,, maybe when i was like younger but as of now, no,,,

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

nope! but i think most of the ideas/plots i make up are really out there and abstract so if anyone tried-- good luck. i can barely keep up with some of my fic lore and that's because i have it all written down in my notes app.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no, but i was thinking about translating my english stuff into spanish myself,,, and then i realized how much work that is so,,,

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

nah. i've thought about it... i just feel like my writing process takes a while and anybody stuck writing with me would end up regretting it lol

14. What's your all-time favourite ship

i ofc love my hotd dumpster fires (lucemond, rhaenicent, luaena, alysmond, jacegan, etc) but the first pairing that forever has a special place in my heart are soul&maka from soul eater,,,

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

i have this rhaenicent fic that was in the works but i just sort of lost any new plot to add to it. that tends to happen and my brain randomly picks things back up, but this one has been radio silent for a while,,, nothing i've teased or already have a preexisting work out for though!

16. What are your writing strengths?

detail. foreshadowing. outlandish things galore. you could give me an inanimate, random household item and i'd probably come up with a rlly intricate backstory for it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

probs smut and the amount of writing i do. average trs and legacies chapters are 5-10k and that leads to slow updates. but hey, i'm trying to learn about quality over quantity.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

hmmm the only other language i'm fluent in is spanish but none of the characters i write speak it so,,,, valryian is rlly the only language i write dialogue in for fics but that's generated through a translator so eh. things get lost in translation or don't come across with the initial intended meaning. at first, i used to think high valryian was such a nice, intimate undertone for fics but now as someone writing the dialogue and sourcing the translations-- i've become a bit immune. i just use it for plot reasons now.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

b-bts ff- on wattpad- [gunshot] (this was actually a really nice experience and intro into fic writing so,,, army borahae asf)

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

probs 'is this fate (or is this fear)'! i love black mirror and the actual premise is based on one of my own nightmare sequences, so how fun <3 no but yeah i wrote it in a week and felt so immensely pleased with myself for having stuck with the idea and then completing it,,,

tagging @droppofsaltt, @spiderlilac, @unohanabbygirl & anybody else who sees this and feels like doing it <3

[fairyringsandwings]

Hi I just wanted to stop by and say I love your nashuri story, queen of the drowned. You are such a talented writer. The plot, setting & characters are so in depth and in detail. Literally feels tangible.

Hi there Anon! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this! It honestly means so much to me that people like my story T-T

Here's a sneak peak of the next chapter just for you ^_-

Namor is kissing her. 

He is kissing her and she cannot move. 

Shuri does not freeze. She is not T'Challa and Namor is certainly not Nakia. There is nothing but poison between Shuri and Namor. That is what has seeped into her skin and rendered her stunned and speechless. The venom of a feathered snake. 

Namor's lips leave hers fleetingly, only so they can reunite in a softer touch, his beard scratching against her. His free hand moves to her cheek, his thumb soothing her skin. She can feel him trying to coax a response from her, his tongue teasing her lips, a wicked promise upon them if only she would open her mouth.

[rizukitikastuff]

nashuri crumbs !!

i know this is just teasing but they also thinking the same thing so.. 😌

[annachum]

I know I haven't seen these Marvel characters in ASOMAM yet, but I have some ideas of them :

. Namor - The underwater King of Talokan, an offshot undersea Mayan kingdom, who agreed to help Mace Tyrell in naval fleets for his own scrupulous reasons ( wants to expand his naval territories to the far corners of the world ). He also soon fancies Princess Shuri of Wakanda and determined to win her over

. Shuri - The spirited and sassy Princess of Wakanda who is also a residential inventor of the Wakandan court. Her world turns upside down when she found out that King Namor becomes an intended suitor to her

. Queen Nakia - In ASOMAM, Nakia becomes Queen of Wakanda through her marriage to King T'Challa. Gentle and brave, Nakia is also a gifted naturalist and also a chief barrier maiden of Wakanda. Later on she shall be expecting a son with T'Challa ( ie T'Challa II )

. Shang Chi - The son of the Mandarin/Wenwu and the late Princess Ying Li of Yi Ti. Having had enough of the abuse from his biological father since his mother died, Shang Chi ran away to Lenghi at the age of 15 and was adopted by the House Chen, and thus gained Lady Katy Chen as an adopted sister. He and Katy later on joins the new Lenghi Embassy to Yi Ti to strengthen the Yi Ti - Lenghi alliance against Wenwu's forces

. Katy Chen - The younger adopted sister of Shang Chi. Bubbly and sassy, Katy is both a treasure hunter and a spy, and also has a younger brother ( ie Shang Chi's younger adopted brother ) of her own. She later on joins Shang Chi in representing the Lenghi Embassy as a Lenghi ambassador

. Xu Xialing - The younger biological sister of Shang Chi. After her brother ran away, a 12 year old Xu Xialing had enough of the abuse from Wenwnu and up and ran off to join the Jade Sea Pirates. A series of dramatic and unexpected events forced the two estranged siblings to finally meet after years, and she begrudgingly allied herself with Shang Chi to fight against Wenwu for the sake of the Jade Sea Pirates

. Princess Leiko - A beautiful and poised Princess of the Jogos Nghai, who was later on bethrothed to marry Shang Chi as a way to boost alliance between Jogos Nghai and Yi Ti against Wenwu. Poised and thoughtful, Leiko is an astute diplomat and spy who is also trained on equestrian combat. Despite the often turbulent ties between Jogos Nghai and Yi Ti at those points ( that was during an equivalent of Ming Dynasty in Yi Ti ), Leiko and Shang Chi are determined to make their new alliance work. Gradually, their alliance turned into true romance

. The Kamar Taj council - The Kamar Taj council is a magical temple council which resided in the mountains of Lhazar. Led by the Ancient One, she also has Dr Strange ( who originally is from Lys ) and Wong on her side in protecting the Kamar Taj against any perceived threats

. Dowager Queen Ramonda - The wise and decorous Dowager Queen of Wakanda, and mother of T'Challa and Shuri. Borne from a minor noble house in Southern Sothryos, her marriage to the late King T'Chaka united many nations across Sothyros. She also has a strong sense of justice and was also a brilliant poet and storyteller
