Here's one of my contributions to the Pixandria section of the @empiropediazine! (Click for quality)
These are designs for the candles and lanterns that surround the Vigil! I spent *actual* months perfecting these designs, so I hope it shows! To match the theme of tracking demise, each design includes symbolism for what befell that Empire during the rapture. (Let's see if you can find what it is on each one...)

For context: I am Arabic and Muslim-raised, I'm not just pulling this out of my ass, this is my own culture so don't accuse me of cultural appropriation please-
~~~
In Islam, there's this concept, Mahram, which is basically the men that a specific women can be uncovered (without hijab/modesty) in front of or around.
Mahram also means the men that a woman cannot marry, because they are family to her, people that can see her without hijab.
For any woman, her brothers, father, sons, uncles, and grandfathers are all mahram- she cannot marry them because they are blood, and so she can be uncovered in front of them. If she gets married, the husband would be added in as a mahram as well.
I bring this up because I came up with a super lore headcanon that doesn't exactly fit very well with anything but whatever, i wanna toss my own culture in and so i shall-
The only way a person can be made mahram to someone without being related by blood or marriage is through breastfeeding- basically, if an unrelated baby boy and girl were breastfed by the same person, regardless of whether that person is their parent or not, then those two babies are now siblings and mahram to each other; in Islam, they cannot marry each other, because they are siblings.
A lot of people headcanon Sausage, Fwhip, and Gem as siblings- I ship wither husbands, so im not much of a roseblings follower, but i can make it work-
Mythland and Pixandria fought a lot in canon- we can make pre-canon lore for this that makes the two empires have a long history of battling each other-
and when two places fight each other so much, theres the inevitability of the two picking up customs and culture from each other from so much interaction, from soldiers living in the other empire for so long they learn new things and bring them back home-
And Pixandria is a desert empire, adding in Arabic culture with them makes sense, to a certain extent-
Mythland picks up the cultural habit of, not of mahram, but of the method of making two unrelated children related for adoption purposes.
Years later, when the Grimlands/Crystal Cliffs, in their still combined-into-one-empire glory, come to make an alliance with Mythland, they propose an alliance of adoption, instead of marriage.
The newly-born heir of Mythland and the newly born heirs of Grimlands-Crystal Cliffs are breastfed by the same nurses, and are raised together as siblings, ensuring that the three empires would have a strong alliance bound by kin and family for years to come.
Thoughtsss? I'm quite proud of it :>

More of my parent/family musings about the empire characters! Got inspired and finished off my ideas for the season 1 cast!
vvv Links to other musings below vvv [Shrub here | Scott, Sausage, & Seablings here | Joel, Joey, & Katherine here]
Anyways, my art style slipped out of the cartoonish way it had been doing the others in this series so these are more normal sketches than the others.
under the cut I'll drop some quick ideas I have about the parents, like I have on previous posts for those interested :] Enjoy!
First up are LeeryDoe and KeenBronze! I'm sure the Grimland's naming scheme is making a bit of sense seeing the family all next to one another. Both the twins parents are Grimland's engineers, while LeeryDoe specializes more in concept and planning vs KeenBronze expertise in metalworking they make a pretty good team! They're a pretty normal family with their ups and downs. Not perfect by any means but there is care even when they don't necessarily fit together well. I could take about them ages but we see glimpses of them in my fic War on our Shores so I won't blab here lol.
Quick Note on Fwhips name, "Fwhip" is a nickname for FailWhip which google tells me is his old username. I have translated this to mean that the idea of "failing" isn't a bad thing in the Grimland and it has more associations with the idea of learning and perseverance or progress which is why its not a miserable baby name lol.
Pearl and her parents! I had some trouble with them since my Pinterest board for Helianthians is a bit difficult for me. But I managed! Her mum is guardian of Helianthia before Pearl inherits the title. She may be called the farmer queen by other nations, but Guardian is her official title. I don't have too many thoughts about them, they're farmers, they do politics when they need to, they're pretty chill mostly. Baby Pearl was difficult to design tho.
Pix was by far the most difficult child to design just because a big thing about identifying Pix's character in art for me is his age and especially his beard and taking that tire and age away really makes him hard to identify. I managed though lol.
Pix's parent I don't have many thoughts for outside of the idea of them being very haunted. Very tired haunted eyes, between being queen and being the keeper of the vigil I think they're a rather mourning duo and Pix's childhood was kinda emotionally weird because of that.
anyway that's all i got, so long till i figure out my season 2 cast maybe! :] feel free to ask questions about this i love my fanon lore a lot lol

“We have once again beaten the sun to rising,” Mhenheli said, nodding to the distant hills as the dawn began to limn them with a thin halo of pure golden light. Paix slipped his arm around Mhenheli’s waist, standing close to him as they watched the sun rise. Far below in the city, the sunrise horn sounded, and the light moved - slow and liquid lazy - across the rooftops, finally touching on the golden wing of the statue, coruscating out from it in brilliant sparkles. Beside him, Mhenheli sighed happily. “I love this moment,” he whispered. “I, too,” Paix murmured in response, his gaze not on the statue but on that beloved old face. “But I love more that I can stand here with you as it happens, and watch how happy it makes you.” Mhenheli turned his head, his lips quirked in a dry smile. “Sentimental,” he chided softly. “Nothing wrong with that.” Paix returned that smile with one of his own. “You should indulge my sentimentality, you know.” Mhenheli snorted indelicately. “Since when have I ever done that?” “Well… now that you mention it…” “Precisely.”
One more commission from the wonderful Sabira | @floweroflaurelin to close out These Stones Remember.
Paix and Mhenheli standing on the covered castle balcony, as they did every morning together, and watching the sun rising over the Ancient Capital of A'lumiya.
I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful illustration to place at the end of the second companion reader (which will be published in the next few days) and close out this story that means so much to me.
Thank you, Sabira, for another truly gorgeous piece of work <3

Prompt 1 Week 3 of @shepscapades Hermit Designs
The Royal Horticulturist of Pixandria 🌼
I got hit by artblock around week 2, but I'm pulling in right at the end of week 3 with another Stressmonster >:D
I felt like putting Stress right in the middle of a desert would be a really interesting challenge to work with, so that's how she ended up in Pixandria. The red flowers in her hair are from ocotillos, which are native to the Chihuahuan desert (the only desert that I know the plant life of intimately). In my mind, she's the head of research in the royal court and spends a lot of time outside exploring the kingdom's ecosystem. She brings a new sense of life to the kingdom, often seen followed by a trail of colorful butterflies that like to keep her company.

Here's one of my contributions to the Pixandria section of the @empiropediazine! (click for quality)
Lizzie and Joel's wedding tridents! I tried to reflect both the type of enchantment both of the tridents have (channeling and riptide respectively), as well as the motifs of Lizzie and Joel's empires, while still making them look like a matched set that was made in Pixandria.
I really enjoy how it came together! I think my favorite bit is that they look like two halves of a heart ^-^

Light of the Vigil
Made for the @mcyt-co-create event! One of my favorite things from the Empires SMP was Pixandria's Vigil. I've always wanted to draw it with many candles and lanterns around it. It was really fun working on this piece!

i'm just sorta laughing while also still crying because pixl never cleaned up his fucking house. theres still shulker boxes and barrels and chests of random shit everywhere. random dents in the floor (which is still made out of sand, by the way). a full double chest of terracotta in the Anthill. its like he could log back on any day and keep building things, the ghost of the Copper King still carrying terracotta to the top of the mountain when the sun sets, legends say sometimes you can hear footsteps barely a whisper above the sand when dawn comes. but he won't come back this is a singleplayer world and that's what makes it so fucking heartwrenching to walk through here. i will never be normal about this place in a million years never if i tried do you see where i stand now? do you see why i can't let go of this for anything? my fucking god i love empires so much. we've been crying on and off about this for a full hour.
