Maybe Not Her Mother....

Maybe Not Her Mother....

Despite being such a beautiful sunny day, Lucette only felt like she was standing underneath a dark storm cloud. This emotional dark cloud only made her more upset. While everyone else was gifting flowers and objects to their mothers, she was laying a wreath of flowers on her mother’s grave. 

“It’s not fair.” She mumbled to herself, blinking quickly to push back her tears. Everyone else was dressing up in bright colors and laughing and talking with their mother’s while here she was, dressed head to toe in black, kneeling before her mother’s grave. She shouldn’t be here. Her mother shouldn’t be underground. She should’ve been waking up to her daughter and husband bringing her breakfast in bed. Sailing through the skyways to her favorite islands. Running through flower filled meadows, barefoot and laughing. 

“And yet, here I am. Wallowing under a perpetual cloud that only darkened on this special day.” 

“Indeed, but it is only reasonable and expected of you to be here on this day.”

Startled, Lucette spun around to see a familiar beautiful clockwork standing a few feet behind her. Queen.

“Queen. What are you doing here?” She questioned.

“Looking for you. Protecting you. Supporting you.” Queen replied, smoothly making her way over to the saddened princess and kneeling next to her, her eye holes fixated on the grave. Lucette felt comforted by her presence. Though Queen wasn’t her mother and can’t replace her mother, no one could, but Queen did a good job supporting her like one. 

“Thank you, Queen.”

“It is my pleasure, colombina.” 

And when the women made their way home to the palace, Lucette’s mourning veil was off her head and Queen had a gentle arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Honestly

This whole talk about the new upcoming Inuyasha sequel makes me wanna hurry up and post my Inuyasha fanfic online. But luckily my past disappointment with past sequels of other series restrains my hype and excitement. So, luckily I’m not rushing out of hype.

ngl, I’m pretty on edge about sequels in general. 

The New Supreme Commander (Swipe for close up + different version) . . . Since Instagram decided to wild out on me yesterday, I’m trying again today. I don’t remember everything I put in the description of the last tone, so bear with me here. So this is Lucette in a AU where her son is killed by someone and....well basically shit goes left REEEAAL quick. I actually made this months ago, I got bored this week and made a copy, and wa lah! A gif for y’all. If you know what this was inspired by, great, don’t say it. If you don’t, for the best. Okay? Okay 👌🏾 If I had originally planned for it to be a gif, I would’ve made the wings open and rise up. Maybe I’ll draw that today. Maybe. . . .

Prince Adalberto Favero (Swipe for unlit version and time-lapse) . . Sketching Lucette’s children is so fun and relaxing when I don’t want to do anything else. Adalberto is Lucette’s 4th son and 6th child. He’s the snake of the family, always in someone’s business and knows all the secrets and gossip around the palace. Hence the color green being his main color. I wasn’t originally going to give him blue fire, but it complimented him so well, I couldn’t resist. He prefers using his words to rather than his flames tho. Hope you all like him and are excited to see more of him and his siblings. . .

Princess Damiana Favero 👑Swipe for close ups + timelapse👑 . . . Remember that picture of Lucette’s daughters I did months ago? Well here’s that little girl in the purple dress all grown up! Little Damiana ain’t so little anymore. And what a beauty she’s grown into. She’s still a little sweetheart tho, that doesn’t change. So I got the idea to do royal portraits of all of Lucette’s children grown up (I know, uh oh) and Damiana is the first. This is the first time in months that I’ve fully rendered a picture. Had to be worthy of a princess, after all. Hope y’all love it and are ready to see more! (Story shares would be appreciated, please and thank you) . . .
