Tiaras of the future Queen Mary
I love a good list and @duchessofostergotlands requested one of the tiaras that Mary will wear as queen. As usual I had a lot to say.
Crown Jewels
Queen Caroline Amelie's Emerald Tiara
Tumblr media
Denmark is unusual among modern monarchies in that they still have wearable jewelry in their crown jewels. There is a diamond set, a pearl and ruby set, and of course the beautiful emerald parure. This tiara cannot be taken outside of Denmark and is only worn by the queen. I really hope Mary wears it for her first official portrait as queen.
Major Tiaras: Non-Restricted
Princess Louise's Pearl Poiré Tiara
Tumblr media
This tiara has only been worn by Queen Margrethe during her reign but previously was worn by crown princesses and princesses. It is a very important tiara but I wouldn't mind Queen Mary loaning this one occasionally to other people like Christian's future wife.
Queen Désirée's Ruby Parure Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Ingrid kept this tiara even after her husband passed and then left it to Crown Prince Frederik for his future wife so it was never worn by Queen Margrethe. I expect Crown Princes Mary will continue wearing this tiara for now as the parure was extensively remodeled to suit her. When Christian marries, she may decide to pass it on to his wife establishing it as the de facto crown princess tiara, keep wearing it herself, or ideally keep wearing it while also loaning it the future crown princess.
Minor Tiaras
We don't yet know how Queen Margrethe will handle passing on her jewelry. In other countries with recent abdications, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands still attends tiara events but Queen Paola of Belgium and Queen Sofia of Spain do not. If Margrethe decides to keep attending them she may hold on to some of these for a while.
Grand Duchess Louise of Baden's Palmette Tiara
Tumblr media
This isn't my favorite tiara in the Danish vault because of the way it ends so abruptly instead of tapering off. Queen Mary's going to have to pull off some great tiara hair to cover that up.
Crown Princess Margaret's Turquoise Daisy Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Mary looks good in turquoise but I'm really looking forward to seeing this tiara on Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine.
Queen Ingrid's Floral Aigrette Tiara
Tumblr media
I've loved the way Queen Margrethe played around with this tiara but I am looking forward to Queen Mary putting it back on a tiara frame like Queen Ingrid wore it.
Queen Margrethe's Naasut Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Margrethe was given this tiara by Greenland in 2012 and I have been waiting for day it is worn by Queen Mary. I think the delicate gold flowers are really going to look great against her dark hair.
Personal Tiaras
Wedding Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Margrethe gave this tiara to Crown Princess Mary as a wedding gift and Mary later had optional pearls added.
Ruby & Spinel Necklace Tiara
Tumblr media
Mary bought herself this tiara at an auction and debuted it 2015. I think it was a very smart move because it was only 8050 EUR (probably less than some of her gowns) and it will be a great piece for her children to wear in the future.
Tumblr media
Every country and monarch handles jewelry a little differently. Queen Margrethe gave each of her daughters-in-law a tiara but did not share any of her tiaras with them. She did share with her nieces (the daughters of her two sisters) when her sisters didn't have enough tiaras to loan them for events. I would like to see the future King Frederik X and Queen Mary change how the jewelry is dispersed.
First of all they need to stop giving away jewelry. The mainline has already lost the Queen Alexandrine's Diamond Drop Tiara to the Countess of Frederiksborg and Princess Dagmar's Diamond Floral Tiara to Princess Marie. Those are both beautiful, versatile tiaras that would have served the family well in the future. In the previous generation, Princess Benedikte was given Queen Sofia's Star & Pearl Tiara and her Floral Birthday Tiara made from other jewelry and Queen Anne Marie was given Crown Princess Margaret's Khedive Tiara and her Antique Corsage Tiara made from other jewelry. There's no reason to give away tiaras anymore to people whose descendants will have little reason to wear them.
Then to make up for not giving away any jewelry there needs to be more sharing! I don't want to see the same person wear the same tiara to every event. Queen Mary will have the Emerald Tiara exclusively and then may choose to keep the Pearl Poiré Tiara and Ruby Parure Tiara to herself but everything else should be shared among her daughters, daughters-in-law, and other members of the extended Danish Royal Family. It would make things so much more interesting.

After a while of drawing other people’s redesigns, i made some of my own! have a look!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
they’re all sad and tired because honestly, who blames them
i’m gonna post some new doodles soon here, so enjoy!
below are some of my headcanons and explanations behind their new get-ups! 👇
Evangelyne Changes:
-i gave her the shoulder scar from when Remington shot her in S2
-brought back the little belt from her S2 suit, because i like it
-the dark spots on the hands of her gloves are for better gripping, just because i think it’d be useful
-her shirt/tarp is similar to that of Pinpin’s from S1, but with an arrow instead of
Yugo Changes:
-it’s time those old ass shorts retire, along with a more secure belt after Black Bump in S3..
-he’s growing his hair out to measure his physical change, since he’s tired of looking like he’s forever 12
-covered up his shoulders with a more secure shirt, i just think it looks neat
-also has hand grippies
-has his plaits from using the Dofus, along with few scars (majority covered)
Tristepin Changes:
-instead of a solid black arm, his “rubi arm” takes more similarity to Rubilax’s actual arm in his demon form
-along with his left eye, just because it looks pretty cool
-his right eye carries a scar that stars from his forehead, down his eye and stops at his neck. this is from a dragon while facing Ogrest. He had partial blindness when this happened, but fusing with Rubi fixed it
-his big scar on his chest is one he kept from Razortime, a fairly touchy subject
-he also needs to change his pants..
Amalia Changes:
-she’s really in her warrior princess arc rn, now more that ever
-she’s grown up, she had to behave like a queen now, but why not look sick as fuck while doing it?
-she has her horns from her crown/tiara(?)
-she has little daisy earrings because they look cute

🔮Carnelian Trinkets🗝️
Vex!Scar x Reader
thank you to my 🪶feather anon for requesting this I'm sorry I accidentally deleted you're request but from what a remember you said you wanted a vex!Scar x reader where scar likes to give reader trinkets and little gifts because of his vex side! please enjoy and feel free to leave tips (p.s im not so proud of this story but I hope at least you guy like it<3)
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬&𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬🌱🧄🌿
Scar had decided to go on a little adventure as he liked to call it but in Y/ns case it meant being left alone for a few days, it not like Y/n couldn't be by their self or that they constantly needed to be with Scar but tonight Y/n will be all alone with no date for the party.
A small gathering happens every so often in Hermitcraft where all the hermits get together and have a nice evening with drinks and treats for all, even though there's so many members as well as a few guests coming from their empires it feels right to give everyone a little thank you gift. pulling out tiny little boxes Y/n walks out of their house and into the mines, after hours and hours of mining and polishing a scatter of crystals lay on a table, from ruby to agate there is a set of handpicked personalized crystals for every guest.
Gold or silver, crown, necklace, bracelet, or ring, smooth or pointy. hundreds of decisions lay in front of Y/n but at the end of the day around 40 sets of jewelry are set in boxes to be given to the person there for.
Amber ear cuffs for Impulse, aquamarine and pink coral tiara for Queen Lizzie of the Ocean empire, golden peridot anklets for the one and only fae girl Gem, and a jasper pendent like amulet for the prince of the lost empire Joey.
The only thing that catches Y/ns eye is a carnelian ring with a engraving inside saying " I Love You, Dear " a little bit of disappointment hits them as they remember Scars absents but all they do is close the box and throw it in the basket.
________
The stars shine brightly around Scar as he walks down the paths of the Ender capital, people pass scar left and right from Endermen hybrids to Nether hybrids hes surrounded, some people stare at him and his vex features uncomfortably as others pass and don't bat an eye.
Markets and stalls are set up everywhere going from one to another nothings right, some potions and magical seeds end up in scars inventory but there's something hes looking for that he just cant figure out what it is until a small sparky shine catches his eye.
A flow of magic wisps through the air pulling scar in all he wanted was something personal to give Y/n so all he can do is hope this light can lead him to the perfect thing, slowly he steps over to the shine and a small chest of colorful crystals, rare buttons, and mini empty bottles sits Infront of him his eyes light up and his wings flutter at the big and small trinkets to give his partner.
walking back to the portal to the over world, end flowers, and little pieces of shiny metal litter the ground, more and more bobbles clutter into scar bag and cut his hand and he picks up sharp pieces. reaching into a different pocket for a bandage Scar communicator tumbles out of his bag a bright yellow message takes up the whole screen leaving his face shocked.
"GATHERING AT NINE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!"
---
Y/n stands there looking in the mirror at their fancy attire, their shoes click as they walk across their house grabbing the big basket full of little gift boxes, a load knock echos through their house slowly but surely Y/n walks the open the door but when they get their someone is already their waiting for them.
"SCAR!"
Y/n runs up the him, he pulls them into a soft hug slowly lowering to the ground.
"oh my god.. I am so sorry, I totally forgot about the party tonight I never meant to do that Y/n, I missed you so so much"
a small kiss opens Scars eyes Y/n just sits there with a goofy smile on their face as they tug on his arm standing up, Y/n yanks Scar to the table they rummage through the big weaved basket and pull out one box slowly opening it they hide it in there hands and slowly slide it on to scars ring finger, he looks at it for a few moments before Y/n asks him a question.
"Do you like it!" they say swinging side to side in excitement, Scar looks up at them and lifts them up with a huge smile on his face, giddy as heck he pulls Y/n in to a seat.
"I LOVE IT!! LOOK LOOK I HAVE STUFF FOR YOU AS WELL, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT" Scar pulls out the big box of little knobs and treats, if he was a dog his big golden retriever tail would be shaking faster then lightning and all Y/n could do is match his energy the trinkets doesn’t matter anymore as much as Y/n loved their partners little gift they were just exited to be with him.
Walking to the party scar runs off like a little child to grab sparkly nicknacks and give them back to Y/n and they just swing their basket excitedly like little red riding hood.
The vex boy rests at his lovers side as they enter the party with everyone. The night was long but the energy never died gifts were given, hugs were shared and the night ended of with cuddles in their warm comfy bed.

Imagine: You have been taken captive by a powerful Sith Master, but she’s a little.....different. (Yandere!Sith Master!Wanda Maximoff x Jedi-in-training!Princess!Reader)
Tumblr media
*Not my GIF.
(CW: Taken for ransom, mentions of betrayal, some sexism, implied mind control, mentions of death)
Author’s Note: Happy Star Wars Day! It’s been ages since I’ve seen Star Wars, but I wanted to write something for May the 4th. Star Wars nerds, please don’t come for me.
moya doroga printzes: my darling princess
Your face is stone-cold as the stormtroopers bring you to the throne room. Your teammates had thrown you, the princess, under the bus for this mission for what? 
“I should’ve seen it coming,” you think to yourself. “All of their talk....”
“Princesses aren’t supposed to fight.”
“She’s just gonna distract us.”
“She should stay in the starship’s throne room.”
You always tell yourself they’re just envious that you’re able to fight and rule, but you’re not supposed to fight. Lo and behold, you’re the embodiment of the rebellious princess trope, something you tend to joke to yourself about. But why would they push you under the bus like this? Leave you behind like this? Of course you have a lightsaber hidden in your belt, something these stormtroopers neglected to check, so if you need to fight, you at least have something. And yet, it still upsets you that you’ve been left behind.
“Keep moving, please. The lady doesn’t like to be kept waiting.”
You scowl at the stormtrooper who jolts you out of your thoughts as the doors open. Your feet come into contact with a scarlet carpet leading up to the thrones, one of which is unoccupied. 
“My lady, we have taken Princess (y/n) captive.”
“Let me see her.”
You hear a slight accent coming from her helmet as the stormtroopers in front of you kneel before her; Darth Scarlet, ruler of the Imperial Forces, and a thorn in your starship kingdom’s side for ages. Her outfit is various dark shades of red and black and regal to behold. Rubies adoring the edges of her cape make it more than just a costume to anyone who lays eyes upon it. Her helmet has been fused with a tiara of sorts, elegantly designed and yet still practical. 
The two of you make eye contact, (at least you think it’s eye contact, it’s kinda difficult to tell through the mask she wears) and she seems to fixate on you for some time before continuing.
“So....you’ve come to give up your starship kingdom?”
“Hardly,” you hiss at her. “I’m here for the power core your minions took from it. You said you’d give the price for getting it back when someone from the kingdom met with you.”
“And you came along.”
“I didn’t have much of a choice. These are my people.”
“And yet you took it upon yourself to see me personally.”
Despite your anger, you swallow down your response; you don’t want to admit your teammates deserting you.
“Let’s just cut to the chase, Darth Scarlet,” you tell her as you discreetly reach for your lightsaber. “Or am I going to have to make you tell me the price to save my people?”
She seems to be confused.
“Save them?”
“Don’t pretend to be such a fool! You know that it controls the kingdom’s oxygen supply. People are dying there as we speak!”
You pull it out and turn it on, the blue light radiating against the stormtroopers’ armors.
“And I’m ready to risk my neck to save them!”
You lunge over the stormtroopers to maul Darth Scarlet, but she raises a gloved hand and you find yourself being levitated towards her. In shock, you drop the lightsaber.
“Then I know it would be best to agree to the price to get it back, for us both.”
“Wha...what do you....?” you begin, trying to hide your fear as you hover in front of her.
“The price....” She reaches into a pocket and pulls out a small velvet box. “Is your hand.”
“Left or right?” you ask with no hesitation.
“In marriage.”
You’re stunned as the box floats up towards you.
“In marriage?! Wait....you didn’t take the core for the ship?!”
“By comparison, I couldn’t care less about some kingdom on a starship....it’s you I want more than anything, (y/n).”
Using her powers, she opens up the box to reveal a lovely silver ring with a ruby in the middle.
“I’ve wanted you ever since I first laid eyes on you; you’re the reason I am where I am today. And your love and devotion to your people only makes me want you even more.”
“You’re.....you’re insane!” you stammer. “I thought all the Sith wanted were just power and control.”
“Well then.” Suddenly she presses a button on the side of her head and the front of her mask opens up to reveal a gorgeous woman’s face with two beautiful green eyes. 
“Perhaps I can show you the falsehoods that lie in what they say about the Sith.” Her voice is gentle, completely out-of-the-blue for a Sith Master. “Join me, (y/n). We can bring harmony to the universe together. And I will treat you the very best that you ever have been, moya doroga printzes.”
You gulp.
“And....you’ll give the core back if I agree to marry you?” you ask.
“I swear it so on my love for you. I will even assure its quality to keep them from dying.”
The faces of everyone in that kingdom flash through your mind; all of those people dying slow and painful deaths.....no, you can’t let that happen. You know what you have to do.
Sighing, you bow your head.
“I....I’ll marry you then.”
She gives an elated smile. You feel yourself levitating closer until you feel yourself in her embrace.
“You’ve just made me the happiest woman in the universe, (y/n),” she whispers to you with.....are those actual tears in her eyes?!
Putting her mask back on, she looks up at the stormtroopers.
“Get the core and return it to her kingdom. Assure it’s working properly before you do. Let them know of the news.”
“Yes, my lady,” they reply and a few of them run off.
Holding you bridal style, she stands up and takes you to a fancy bedroom. A pit forms in your stomach as she sets you down on the bed. A short time later, she returns in an elegant nightgown and without her mask. She lays down opposite of you and stares in complete adoration.
“I’ve waited so long for you to be mine,” she sighs. “So very long....and now all of that waiting has paid off....”
She takes ahold of your hands and rubs the backs with her thumbs. It’s a soothing gesture and you begin to relax. After all of the fighting, and after being thrown under the bus by your “teammates,” this is a nice change of pace. Maybe things aren’t so terrible. The two of you talk for a bit and you learn that her name is Wanda Maximoff. Slowly you begin to feel a bit more chill around her. And you begin to think 
“Huh. Maybe this won’t be so bad. I mean, she seems to genuinely care about me and love me. Maybe this will be the start of something amazing...”
“Of course, you’re going to have to stop fighting, at the very least on the front lines.”
Jolted out of your thoughts, your eyes widen when you hear this.
“Wh...what?!”
Suddenly Wanda’s grip on you tightens.
“I’m sorry.....but I can’t lose you,” she says. “I’ve lost too much and too many....I refuse to lose anyone else. Letting you on the frontlines would be a death sentence.....”
She brings you in closer until you’re wrapped in a tight embrace.
“I....I know how to defend myself,” you protest.
“I’m sorry, my dearest (y/n)....but I can’t risk it. I promised myself that when you became mine, I’d keep you safe no matter what...I won’t let anyone or anything take you from me, not even battle....not even death.....”
“This....this is insane!” you exclaim as you struggle, trying to escape her.
But her embrace is firm and protective.
“Shhh.....” She begins to pet your head and you feel a tingle in your spine. “It’s okay.....”
Suddenly you feel something enter your ear. You see a small flare of scarlet before you begin to feel tired. As you collapse in her embrace, Wanda whispers into your ear.
“Not even death, my darling princess...”
Back in the throne room, your lightsaber color slowly begins to turn violet and soon scarlet.
“Not even death....”

The Ruby Jubilee Gala of HIM Queen Viviana,
Glammed out and dress to the nines, Royals from all continents gathered to celebrate Her Illustrious Majesty’s forty year reign.  Tonight was notable, if not for the Queen, but for the jewels dawned by the one percent. This was the first time us common folk caught a glimpse of HRH the Princess Eloise’s Investiture Tiara by @glitterberrysims​ , which features not one, but five, star pendents; the tiara is made entirely of cut steel; the Princess also wore Queen Honora’s Fringe Tiara by @batsfromwesteros​ as a necklace.  HRH Princess Guiomar of Uspana sparkled in the Bergstrasse Loop Tiara by @royaltysimblr​ ; which has not been spotted since it was owned by her mother, HRH Crown Princess Lorraine of Uspana, who was notably missing from the private event.
@empiredesimparte​ @warwickroyals​ @nexility-sims​ @officalroyalsofpierreland​ @reigningsims​ @royalhouseofcarrington​ @royalmedani​ @anachrosims​ @houseoflennoxx​ @bridgeportbritt​ @clanmacarthur​ @thenorthlandroyals​ @theroyalsofcorrilea​ @whitmoreroyals​

In London during the late spring of 1953, preparations for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation were reaching their denouement.
Couturier Norman Hartnell was completing a dress to outshine any other.
Tucked away at the back of Hartnell’s lavish Mayfair townhouse, a team of embroiderers were finishing stitching a floral garland on the ivory silk bodice and crinoline.
Pastel thread, jewels, sequins, beads and 10,000 seed pearls were sewn as Commonwealth emblems and British flora around an English Tudor rose scattered with diamond dewdrops.
Six young, aristocratic maids of honour, including 19-year-old Lady Anne Coke – best-selling author Anne Glenconner – were being drilled like guardsmen by The Duke of Norfolk, responsible for organising the coronation, as they rehearsed the walk to the Abbey altar, with his wife, the Duchess, standing in for The Queen.
“If the Bishops don’t learn to walk in step,” he remonstrated, “we’ll be here all night.”
Tumblr media
The photographer Cecil Beaton, well-versed in photographing crowned heads and aristocrats in the Vogue studios, was prepping a vantage point in Westminster Abbey, high up by the organ pipes, as the best location from which to capture the ceremony.
It would be a long day; he’d fill his top hat with sandwiches to sustain him.
Nearby, at Garrard, the Crown Jeweller and his team of master craftsmen were hunched over workbenches altering the Imperial State Crown to fit the young Queen’s head.
Garrard had made the Crown in 1937 for King George VI – a replica of the crown designed and crafted for Queen Victoria, which contained virtually all the same stones symbolic of centuries of Royal history, fitted around a purple velvet cap and ermine band.
Tumblr media
Clusters of diamond-set crosses and fleurs-de-lis linked by swags of diamonds, supported by sapphires, emeralds and pearls in the form of oak leaves and acorns, dazzled around the massive 317.40 carat Cullinan II diamond, the Second Star of Africa, cut from the largest diamond ever discovered.
Above it sat the Black Prince’s Ruby – in fact, a spinel, worn by Henry V at Agincourt – while the 104 carat oval Stuart sapphire gleamed at the rear of the band, with the cross atop the orb set with the sapphire from Edward the Confessor’s ring.
King George VI requested Garrard create an inner “hammock” style fitting, like a guard’s officer’s bearskin, to distribute the nearly three pounds of weight evenly on his head.
Reshaping the circlet for Queen Elizabeth II involved remounting the stones and motifs of which it is composed, as well as repositioning and lowering the arches, all of which required craftsmanship of the highest skill. 
The aim was to improve the strength of the crown with lightness of weight, which isn’t easy with large stones, and those which were cut nearly 300 years ago.
They were working against the clock. The new Queen required time before the ceremony to become accustomed to the crown’s feel and weight.
“There are some disadvantages to crowns, but otherwise they are very important things,” said Her Majesty, recalling its heaviness on the 65th anniversary of the coronation.
“Fortunately, my father and I have roughly the same shaped head, so once you put it on, it stays.”
The media demanded constant updates on Garrard’s work, with the coronation making broadcasting history as the first service to be televised, adding to the sense of pressure.
In addition, two gold Armill bracelets of sincerity and wisdom, symbolic of the monarch’s bond with the people needed to be finished, which were replacing the 17th-century enamel bracelets dating from the coronation of King Charles II.
In previous ceremonies, the Armills had been carried, but these were made for the Queen to wear, decorated with two rows of engraving and Tudor rose clasps with red velvet linings.
Garrard was also inundated with cleaning requests.
“No one had worn their jewellery or tiaras during the war,” explains Lady Anne.
“People were queuing to have their tiaras, which were like great fenders of diamonds, stomachers and necklaces cleaned.”
Tumblr media
On the day, 2 June 1953, it poured with rain.
Lady Anne remembers arriving at the Abbey:
“It was pretty dark and cold. Our dresses weren’t lined, there were clothing coupons after the war you see.
A tiny thread of blue cotton had been placed on the floor in the Abbey, so the Queen knew where to stand.
When the procession began, we walked past row upon row of tiaras, as well as people in their National dress.
The Queen walked a bit faster than the Duchess had in rehearsals, so we had to adjust our steps.”
The ceremony ended at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
Hartnell left after watching his historic dress sweep down the aisle followed by the procession of royal pages, maids of honour, peers and peeresses sparkling with diamonds, looking, he remarked:
“Like a lovely hunk of fruitcake, the damson jam of velvet bordered with clotted cream of ermine and sprinkled with the sugar of diamonds.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beaton rushed to Buckingham Palace to photograph the Queen theatrically against a painted backdrop, holding the orb and sceptre and wearing the Imperial State Crown.
The Crown Jeweller Garrard remained until The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh had taken lunch in the Abbey annex, in case any last-minute adjustments to the diamond-encrusted Crown were needed.
“Cecil was waiting when we all returned from the Abbey,” Lady Anne continues.
“He had everything set up for the photographs, and that’s when I really noticed the Crown and jewels glittering under the bright lights and took note of it all.
The Queen looked so young, beautiful and vulnerable, so the contrast of seeing her crowned with all the regalia was extraordinary.
She was weighted down a bit, but I remember thinking it was terribly poignant.”
A tense moment followed.
“The Duke of Edinburgh was fussing around, and Cecil got irritated, put his camera down and said, ‘Oh Sir, would you prefer to take the photographs?’” Lady Anne laughs.
“The Queen looked a bit horrified, and The Duke wandered off. You see, The Duke would have liked the photographer Baron, but it was The Queen Mother who adored Cecil.”
Tumblr media
Later, it was still rainy and dark outside.
When the gleaming, crowned figure of The Queen appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony, she shone with a sense of tradition and permanence.
With the Imperial State Crown, she wore the Coronation necklace and earrings, made in 1858 by Garrard and worn by Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary, including 25 brilliants suspending the Lahore diamond drop.
Time will tell if the Armills will return to being carried at the Coronation of HRH The Prince of Wales, and if he has inherited the Windsor head shape, but should substantial adjustments be required, the crown will appear once more unchanged.
The historical continuity of the regalia, and the fact the crown is still in constant use, makes these jewels created in the Garrard workshop the most potent in the world.

Part three always on Rhaenyra!
A predominant feature of her adult dresses are the jewelled bodices, full of embellishments, shimmering embroidery and precious stones. I love the rubies and dangling pearls of the former, while the latter I find perfect for a black dress. Not to mention the provocative neckline. Please imagine it without that protruding silver fabric and that collar of golden fabric. The rest, what can I say... My eyes sparkle with ecstasy and beauty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Apart from the important decorations on the neckline, I love the transparency of the fabrics. I imagine Rhaenyra has sleeves with several cuts to show off the magnificence of her petticoat, while the side of the bodices might have the thinnest fabric. Rhaenyra certainly has no fear of showing herself: her clothes are as flamboyant, seductive and provocative as she is.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Embroidery is particularly present along the sleeves and the fabric of the skirt. In addition to ornamental and floral motifs, dragons are the undisputed protagonists. The colours of the stones then I imagine in contrast, predominantly white on black or dark red dresses.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very well, I declare the dress reverie over. My heart still weeps at the thought of the wonder we could have had *dries tears from her eyes* I say let's move on to the hair!
As a young girl, Rhaenyra wears her hair mostly down. After all, she is the most beautiful maiden in the Seven Kingdoms, surrounded by courtiers seeking her favours. I quite like the hairstyles in the series, and I would say that the stars of her hair remain the braids. Crown braids that encircle the nape of her neck strewn with pearls and secured by sparkling clips and nests of braids, while the rest of her hair falls flowing down her back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh yes, there is a certain resemblance between young Alicent's hair and her own. After all, the two women vie for Viserys' favour and love, it does not seem so absurd that they have similar hairstyles. After all, the two women are both at court at the time. It must be said, however, that Rhaenyra prefers to embellish it with garish tiaras and tiaras, while Alicent keeps it more sober.
Naturally, the music changes with the adult Rhaenyra. The series makes no substantial changes with her hairstyles, sticking to braids pinned behind the nape of her neck. In short, a bore.
In the books, Rhaenyra styles her hair like Queen Visenya, two braids enclosed in a ring. Oh, how I would love to see her like that on screen. The braids sprinkled with pearls, the crown on her head... *her eyes sparkle* Nothing, the magic goes out when I think back to the crown described in the books and the one in the series, but I would love to see Rhaenyra with this hairstyle.
In general, however, her hair is strictly tied back. Basically, she wears it in two braids scattered with pearls and precious stones, one falls down her shoulders while the other hangs over her head, encircles the front of her head in a crown or is behind the nape of her neck. If desired, the braids can also be three, two enclosed in a ring and the third left along the shoulders, studded with rings. Or a crown braid and the remaining hair braided in a ring. Oh, the possibilities are there. In Game of Thrones Daenerys wore more intricate and complex braids, so I don't see a problem with doing regal hairstyles for Rhaenyra *sighs with frustration*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not done talking about Rhaenyra yet. The last part about jewellery awaits us <3

The 🔥SkyWing🦅 Monarch Backstory Post:
(A small warning note: SkyWing Monarch Reader is named Falcon, implied dubious consent because of old queen, implied murder, old queen is a narcissistic tyrant, implied abuse, blood, fighting, and death. You have been warned)
They don't think they've ever felt so relieved. Their talons tap sharply against the throne, the sharp clicks echoing around the room. It was hard to believe all of this was their's now. All the mounds and mounds of treasure, gold and rubies and emeralds and garnets shining like polished stars among crowns and tiaras and scepter and necklaces and rings, wrought of metal and stones that gleamed as bright as the sun. An entire army, filled with dragons devoted to them, and their kingdom, ready to attack or defend at the drop of a coin. The lavish banquets, filled with wine and mead and ciders (and the dragonet-friendly cinnamon milk and steaming teas), all sweet and refreshing, and all the roasted boars and sizzling cows and baked hawks and seared sheep, all succulent and juicy and dripping with flavor, that any dragon could ever want. It was all so... divine.
How could their mother have squandered it so?
Their mother had been a mean, vicious snake of a dragon. Poised and perfect, beautiful and cold, a true wolf in sheep's wool. Dripping with saccharine sweetness one minute, and full of acidic poison the next, she always had a crafted phrase or sneering remark for anyone she addressed. Whatever she wanted, she got, and whomever she wanted, she got them, too. For a trophy, for a servant, for a spouse, for a gladiator in her arena, it never mattered. If she said she wanted it, she would have it. Anyone who said no was killed, and those who fought her were thrown into the arena to be slaughtered. It was a wonder that any dragons survived around her...
Falcon had once loved their mother. Their mother had even seemed to like them, too. But, over the years, they realized how hollow it was, how their mother tried to twist them into another her, and that once she was bored, she'd likely kill them, if not just imprison or exile them. She had done it before, after all. And how awful was it, to discover that they'd had siblings, many of which were massacred by their own mother, after she had no need or want for them. Falcon had soon come to realize how fragile everything around them was, and how their life, and the life of the other dragons ensnared by their mother, all hung by the edge of a dagger.
Was it any wonder they grew to hate her so?
They had cried for days and nights on end after finding out how the dragons they loved, those who they thought were family, were treated. For weeks afterward, they couldn't look then in the eyes. How could they? They were the surviving child of the queen, a dragon they hated, while some of their own children never made it to their seventh hatching day. It was hard, trying to keep going after finding out their life was a lie.
But, they continued.
What choice did they have? Someone would have to replace the queen one day, and so far, the only old enough heir happened to be them. The next few years had been spent building up their strength, lengething their wisdom, refining their cunning, all so one day they could take back their life, and the lives of those they loved, back from the monster who crushed them under her talons. A few of their other parents tried to talk them out of it. Tried to dissuade them from challenging her so soon. Warned them of what would happen to them should they fail. Falcon knew, then, that despite how their mother hurt them and abused them, her many spouses never hated Falcon for being the one to survive. If anything, they were more protective because of it.
But... they didn't have a lot of time left. Falcon had to challenge the queen soon.
Their other parents had finally had a few dragonets hatch over those years, and had adopted others over that time. Falcon couldn't wait while the queen planned to strike them down, while they were still too young, too weak, to do anything against her. So, if that meant Falcon paid the ultimate price, so be it. It would all be worth it if it meant the few dragons that loved them wouldn't suffer any longer.
The challenge had been issued in the throne room, in front of the entire SkyWing court, at the early hours before dawn. Their mother, the queen, had a look of pure, unfiltered shock on her face. That was swiftly replaced with anger, and then a saccharine venom.
"A challenge, child? Isn't that too much for you? What has gotten into you? Ha! As if you, my sheep-brained dragonet, could even last five minutes," trilled the queen, a snort of flame escaping her nostrils. A few dragons laughed along, those who enjoyed the queen's cruel games as much as she did. "Fine, child! I accept your challenge for my throne. Just know I'll enjoy executing you once we're done, as a sign to any who dare to challenge me again." The queen stretched her large wings out, her tail lashing wildly behind her. And in a flash of fire and smoke, the queen attacked.
Falcon dodged, ducking under the flames before the queen landed where they used to be. The two royals circled each other, looking for any signs of weakness. The queen's poisonous eyes watched Falcon's every move, searching for anything to use against them... Then, in a flash of scales, the queen leapt onto them, crashing them both against the throne. Large wings beat against their head, sharp claws raking down their neck. Falcon had twisted, lashing out with their back talons and clawing them queen's stomach, shredding it. With a piercing shriek, the queen rolled off, clutching at her stomach.
"YOU INSOLENT DRAGONET!" she screamed. "HOW DARE YOU?!" Fire streamed from her mouth, nicking Falcon's tail. They lunged forward with a pained breath, setting fire to the wing closest to them. The queen had screamed even louder, batting desperately at the flames. Falcon wasted no time in knocking the larger dragon down, pinning her wings under their back talons and wrapping one of their front talons around the queen's. Their other talons slammed down beside her neck, the claws scraping against stone.
"Good-bye, Mother," they said, firm and unwavering. They had raised their talons-
SLASH!
And shredded the queen's throat. Ruby red oozed from the wounds, staining their talons crimson. The floor was soon flooded with the dark wine-colored liquid, pooling across the stones. The room then quickly filled with the sound of cheering, as the gathered dragons realized they had a new monarch.
And after that, Falcon spent the next month freeing those oppressed by their mother, paying those harmed or affected by her with treasure, and turning the arena into a peaceful gallery and garden, full of art and flora, to usher in peace and healing, and to provide a calm environment for the wounded to enjoy. They've entered their second month of being monarch, which brings them to now:
"Falcon, we aren't leaving you."
"Are you sure? You don't have to stay. I realize Mother wasn't kind to you all, so if you need or want to leave, you are free to do so," they answer, tapping their claws anxiously. They're grateful their other parents (and subsequently, their few surviving and adopted dragonets) love them. But...
"You don't just have to say that. I understand if you all would feel better in a place containing less... bad memories," Falcon insists. The parent seeing them right then sighs, and looks back at them.
"Falcon, I promise you, we aren't leaving you. We love you: you're our dragonet. Even if you are the new monarch. Just... please, believe us. Believe me," they respond, their eyes sad. They approach them, until they're at the bottom of the throne. And in a careful motion, they pull Falcon into a hig, wrapping them up in their giant wings.
"I... I believe you," Falcon replies softly. They slowly pull themself away, and straighten their posture. "Is there anything scheduled for today?" Right back to business. It's easier to act like a monarch than accept they feel like a scared, guilt-ridden dragonet.
"Hmmm... yes. I believe you wanted to check the wingery today," muses their present parent. They give them a soft smile, and gesture towards the door. "Shall we visit it now, Your Majesty?"
"Yes. We shall," Falcon says, and they slide off the throne, heading towards the throne room doors, their parent trailing after that. Then, the doors open, showing a new dawn, and the two step into the light together.

ROSE, PRINCESS ROYAL, CELEBRATES TEENAGEDOM WITH A NEW ROYAL PORTRAIT!
AND WHY THE PRINCESS WAS A TRENDING TOPIC ON SOCIAL BUNNY FOR 2 DAYS!!!!
Tumblr media
Dearest readers,
Today, Rose, Princess Royal, celebrates her teenagedom with a darling portrait of royal caliber. Her royal highness stuns royal watchers in an aquamarine gown by Siflix while serving us a tiara moment we did not know we desperately needed.
The teenage Princess wore the complete set of the Aquamarine Tiara along with its matching earrings and necklace—the princess’s royal jewels match her dress so perfectly that I couldn't help but wonder if we might finally have a fashion icon in the royal house of Springs...oh how we would all relish in having our very own iconic Princess Royal—but let us not get ahead of ourselves, we must remember from history that not all princesses are worthy of being trumpeted.
But royal watchers can't help themselves because right now, Rose, Princess royal, is being heralded for paying tribute to two historic Queen consorts in her birthday portrait. Her royal highness posed in front of famous paintings of the late Queen Ruby and the late Queen Silvia. According to Palace insiders, both Queens hold a special place in the princess’s heart for their compassion and generosity and their consistency in seeking to help those in need.
Tumblr media
[Rose, Princess Royal elegantly posed in front of her grandmother and great-grandmother Queen Ruby (left) and Queen Silvia (right).]
The princess royal quickly became well-known for her soft face and sparkling honey-brown eyes. Her poised and regal posture, while clad in an exquisite gown of silk and satin adorned with sparkling jewels, took me down a rabbit hole of intense research to find out if this princess was as regal and elegant as she appeared. And darlings, I was so shocked to learn that we might indeed be looking at the real deal.
The princess royal is said to be graceful and kind, radiating quiet strength. She is well-spoken and wise beyond her years, possessing remarkable wisdom and charisma—and when she's not commanding the room at social events such as galas, balls, and other formal events. You will find her enjoying the theatre, traveling to exotic locations, and engaging in various sports and hobbies such as horseback riding, sailing, and tennis. The teenage Royal loves participating in philanthropic initiatives in her free time and is passionate about fashion and art.
Tumblr media
[A side-by-side portrait of Queen Ruby (left) and Rose, Princess Royal (right) making the rounds on social bunny as royal watchers compare the two royals' uncanny resemblance.]
Aside from her many exceptional attributes, Her Royal Highness proves she has the star power to dominate headlines for days leading up to her birthday. The teenage royal even had social media ablaze when a user discovered the uncanny likeness of the princess to the late Queen Ruby.
#LittleRuby was trending for two days straight, with Royal watchers comparing various portraits, paintings, and pictures of the Princess Royal to her grandmother, Queen Ruby.
All this to say...Happy Birthday, your royal highness! We all wish you a spectacular day. You deserve it.
