OMFG YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A GENDERBENT VERSION OF THE FIVE WIVES AND THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING PERFECT!!! UGH THE FIVE HUSBANDS ARE TOO LEGIT TO QUIT!!! DAMN!

Uhm, if I’m not mistaken, these guys from left to right would be... Capable (because of the distinctive curls), The Dag (that long hair is a giveaway), Cheedo the Fragile (the shy expression and the fact he’s next to the Dag), Toast the Knowing (short buzzcut hair, obvs), and The Splendid Angharad (cannot deny that death glare).

Not sure if the original names would work on men, though, but that could probably be just me. It’d be nice to give alternate and more masculine-sounding monikers for the Five Husbands/Brothers here, but sticking to the original names would still be fine given that they all look so amazing! If anyone has cool suggestions for alternate names of the Five Husbands/Brothers, that would be great for an AU fic!

To the artist who did this, thank you SO MUCH! The Wives/Sisters are my absolute faves from MMFR and this was such a nice surprise to see while I was trawling through the tags I follow for the Five. I was kind of hoping for a full-body sketch in color, but I definitely appreciate this sepia-toned one just showing off their well-sculpted torsos and handsome faces just the same.

Genderbent Furiosa, Max, and Nux perhaps too? And the Vuvalini? And the War Boys? And Immortan Joe? Okay, seriously. I need to stop.

UGH THIS PERFECT FAN ART IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME.

Tagging the amazing bonehandledknife in this for commentary/meta/insight reasons.

Immortan Joe’s Husbands

20150726

"Who killed the world? No one could say, but I remember the After-Time.

It was the Age of the Immortan, the Warlord of the Wastes. His Citadel rose high against the meat-eating sun. It was here he kept his Five Wives locked up tight, all shiny and chrome; his ticket to a full-life son and heir. Their teacher was Miss Giddy, the History Woman who fed their heads with Wordburgers and smarts.

Then there were the War Boys, the Immortan's rabid warriors. As their flesh failed, the War Boys refueled at the Blood Bag Bank where the Organic Mechanic primed their pumps with healthy Hi-Octane Red. Further down were the Cog Fodder; their ragged legs powered the lifts. Below us all were the Wretched, the deformed and rotting garbage of this world.

As for us, we were the War Pups. Too young to fight, we watched and waited for our time to do war...

This was Citadel.

Oh, what a lovely day..."
