Some cats and Stormwatch. I like to think this camera is Jenny's, bequeathed to MA.

I legit thought Apollo was gonna be revealed to be a modified kherubim at some point in the WS timeline with the white hair, and sleeping with the Daemonite guy thing.

OC-Tober: Day 17. Dealing with Conflict

As Empress of the most war fueled Empire the continent has ever known, Zannah has been whispered behind her back of being more of a mob boss than a monarch. She would argue she just sees the reality of the struggle for nations that can't afford peace.

Truthfully, the Empire hasn't had to engage in open warfare since the War of Fire with Hyrule. But as a recovering nation, Zannah has been no stranger to conflicts, from without and within the Empire. Conflicts from outside the Empire by an external force would be dealt with extreme force. If the hostile force was animalistic, such as a monster, Zannah would direct her forces to wipe them out. If it was a sentient species she found while claiming island nations, Zannah would approach the matter at first with a delicate touch.

First, she would offer the species a place in the Empire. All they would receive in return for loyalty to the throne would be protection in the Empire and have a place among its citizens. The people known as the Dal took this offer. Another species, such as the Rakashi did not. When this happens, a strong display of force, even bloodshed, is required to change opinions in favour of supporting the Empire.

Finally, Zannah has been been quick to crack down on any threats to her Empire from the people within. More specifically, the higher up generals in her council who thought they would easily control a 'broken' and 'defeated' in the years after the War of Fire. Once she safely delivered her twins to produce viable safe guards to continue the royal line, she challenged the most vocally negative voices against her to open mortal combat. Once these voices were silenced, she replaced them with younger minds. Since then, she's had an open policy that if anyone wished her removed her from the throne, all they need do is challenge in a similar matter.

Cassandra Cain and Maps Mizoguchi Friendship

Some spoilers for both the recently released Birds of Prey (2023-) #5 & Batgirls (2022-2023) #11

So I am currently still working on my thoughts/speculation on Birds of Prey #5 but just wanted to shed some quick appreciation for this one moment and its connections to Batgirls;

Cass calling Meridian by the name Maps was a nice touch and a nod to their friendship in the present. And while I still have some skepticism regarding Meridian (which I intend to go into greater detail into in its own post) I found this small moment quite cute.

While Meridian may have introduced herself by saying “some of you may know me as Maps Mizoguchi”; I’m pretty certain Cass was the only one of those assembled who has met Maps before.

But yeah. Not to much to say besides that I thought the fact that Cass seemed to instinctively/naturally exclaim “Maps!” when referring to Meridian was a nice nod to their friendship and I hope to see more interactions between Cass and either Present!Maps or Meridian. I suppose though that the mission + Meridian constantly getting pulled from the timeline (apparently) does limit their chances to interact so far.

Is it lying to people if I tell them that Z is actually forreal bisexual or is it just strongly misrepresenting the truth

OC-Tober: Day 14. Attempt at Seduction

As traditional love has never quite been Zannah's forte, the Empress always showed her affections through displays of power. To show off her power, to do so in a way that compliments another, is her way of showing respect, or even love.

Before the War grew darker, she saw swordplay and battle with Princess Rinku as a form of subtle seduction, even if Zannah didn't know it. It made her heart race and her blood burn with warmth when she fought another young woman such as herself with equal skill in battle. The dance between life and death as steel clashed. One could argue that when Zannah was kissed in the middle of combat that without the foreplay and subtlety she didn't quite know what to do.

Now that she is far older and has found love in Annuciata, that dance is far more less metaphoric. She wants nothing more than to show her love that she is a phoenix to the Hasai, a woman who could give new purpose and life to her. She sees sharing power with this one woman the most seductive thing she can grant. And anyone she shares power with is going to feel like they are more beautiful and powerful than any human limitations can allow.

All of last week's style test commissions! This was really fun to do and really helped me get a better handle on how I handle these proportions for different character types, so thank you again to everyone who commissioned me! Maybe I'll run something like this again some time.
