Details on the Coronation Invitation
The invitation for the Coronation has been designed by Andrew Jamieson, a heraldic artist and manuscript illuminator whose work is inspired by the chivalric themes of Arthurian legend. Mr Jamieson is a Brother of the Art Workers’ Guild, of which The King is an Honorary Member.
The original artwork for the invitation was hand-painted in watercolour and gouache, and the design will be reproduced and printed on recycled card, with gold foil detailing. Central to the design is the motif of the Green Man, an ancient figure from British folklore, symbolic of spring and rebirth, to celebrate the new reign. The shape of the Green Man, crowned in natural foliage, is formed of leaves of oak, ivy and hawthorn, and the emblematic flowers of the United Kingdom.
The British wildflower meadow bordering the invitation features lily of the valley, cornflowers, wild strawberries, dog roses, bluebells, and a sprig of rosemary for remembrance, together with wildlife including a bee, a butterfly, a ladybird, a wren and a robin. Flowers appear in groupings of three, signifying The King becoming the third monarch of his name.
A lion, a unicorn and a boar – taken from the coats of arms of the Monarch and Her Majesty’s father, Major Bruce Shand – can be seen amongst the flowers. Her Majesty’s arms are now enclosed by the Garter, following her installation as a Royal Lady of the Order of the Garter last summer.

oh me? yeah, i'm fine. just sitting here thinking about how ki-ho said that the one time he regretted changing his identity was the day he and his brother found mok-ha bc all he wanted was to greet her as her friend, as himself, and he couldn't even do that. but he still bought her a new pair of shoes – just like he'd told her that he would back when they were teenagers and they both were terrified yet tentatively hopeful that they might successfully escape their fathers and leave the island behind them. he couldn't tell her the truth then, but he could get her new shoes to replace the old ones. this small act of kindness was the one thing he could actually do without giving himself away

it’s Dreamy boy let’s gooo!
Original au and story by @paintedkinzy-88 close-ups and link posted under the cut!
While yes he’s a big scary dragon i figured the guardian of positivity would still have a friendlier look compared to the rest of the bunch, so when Kinzy said he had fur… i just HAD to make him soft 🥺 lmao his tail reminds me of a feather duster
(he’ll still kick ur ass if he needs to tho)
but like, now he’s kinda is like his hoard too in a way, since he’s a big soft just like the blankets, pillows, stuffed animals and such that he collects and it’s just 😤😩👌
anyway if was fun to use markers for his fur, and the yellows and browns where fun to work with tbh
idk no thoughts head empty, only space for dragons
(the tts!dragon gang literally live rent free in my head 24/7 like ANABAFZCAJ i have so many doodles of them 🫠)

fuck it friday🍾
tagged by @dangerpronebuddie @daffi-990 @rainbow-nerdss @disasterbuckdiaz @hippolotamus @exhuastedpigeon @tizniz 💖💖💖
so I started a new wip🙈 (the cheating fic is still a priority tho!) this idea was inspired by the oth episode with Brooke's bachelorette party and a convo with @hoodie-buck about it 🙈🤣
it's gonna be ridiculous and a different first meeting, and I hope I'll write it the way it's in my head rn haha
(also, there's gonna be switching povs lol)

(...) she takes a look at herself in the mirror, smudged make-up, wrinkled clothes, bags under her eyes, the white ‘bride-to-be’ sash dirty and stained, and a bit too bright to look at in the bathroom light right now. She splashes water on her face a few more times, as she tries to wake herself enough to figure out what she remembers last.
Buck rented the room, they all had a few drinks here, and then went downstairs to the bar. It was supposed to be just a lowkey, small party. Everyone prepared a place to visit and something to do, but Maddie can only remember as far as leaving the hotel to visit some club Josh had planned. The rest is a blur.
And then it hits her. She’s seen almost everyone who was at her bachelorette party somewhere in the suite. Everyone except her man-of-honor. Instantly more alert, she walks around the room again, thinking maybe somehow she didn’t notice him before. But no, he’s nowhere to be found. Shit. She reaches into her pocket, intending to call him, and realizes her phone is missing, too. That’s a mystery for later, though. Now what the hell happened last night, and where is her brother?

oopsie new gemini heist au just dropped! they're in a metal band now!!!
featuring Zeya on drums, Leo on lead guitar + vocals, Illiana on vocals, Euna on bass, and Gabi on keys!
gemini heist wip intro | art tag | instagram
a little explanation, some ramblings, and an effects-free version below
so this is my cousin's fault lmao. i was telling her about this wip and said something along the lines of "Leo and Zeya have different flavours of abandonment issues" and she replied "that would make such a good band name" and so. uh. the concept of the girls in a band immediately possessed me and i have been doing nothing for the last three days but drawing feverishly 🥲
(krita says i spent nearly 15 hours on this but that feels like a lie.)
legally i have to name the band the Sirens since it's their crew name but Flavours of Abandonment can definitely be their album lmao.
their sound would most resemble Conquer Divide (aka my 2023 most played artist):
i didn't spend more than 5 seconds assigning the girls their instruments but the more i think about it the more it makes sense. Zeya, for example, who is very small and very angry, gets to hit things very hard with sticks that can be analogous to her daggers.
as the keyboardist Gabi has tons of equipment and like, 4 different keyboards for different sounds that she spends countless hours programming, which just felt fitting since she's the tech person in the main canon. (source: my brother is a professional keyboardist.) also, in this au, she's a med school dropout who couldn't handle the pressure.
Leo writes most of the band's lyrics.
i was debating having Kalen in the band too but 6 people was gonna be too much to draw and sort of upset the symmetry i had pictured in my head. maybe in this au she sometimes secretly replaces her sister, say, when Illiana is sick, or just for funsies, idk.
i don't really have anything to say about Euna. uh, bassists are hot. (also, she and Zeya get to riff off each other, and we all know how i feel about their relationship.)
that's all, goodnight.

Honestly amazing to me that fic crossovers between the same characters from different universes aren't more popular in our fandom. Like where's a fic where main universe Dick, Talon Dick, Earth 3 Dick, and Dark Knights of Steel Dick all end up in the same universe and have to work together?
