"My Lord, are you well? You seem flustered this night." The Advisor spoke to his King under the wisteria. The King replied, his eyes wide and breath taken, "I am well, I was just... taken aback." By your beauty is unsaid, but it wasn't needed.
The Advisor always knew what his King meant. And so did the King with his Advisor.
I FINALLY FINSIHED OH MY FUCKING GOD.
More Advisor Au let's gooooooo!
@soullessseraphim since you'd probably like to see it.
Tried to do something with some cut outs I found on pinterest. If I tried to do a background, I'd kms. But, lord, I forgot how cool doing this was. Especially the borders. Love it.
Anyways, a bit more stylised this time on the both of them. I actually looked at a Snowy Owl's wings this time. No flowers because it did get a bit messy, which i solved with the border.
Again, I love facial crests as a design in general. I'll probably sue it for ALL of my drawings, human or not. It just... looks cool. Same with dark scalera, though it does make the eyes look really good imo.
Uhhhj.... Advisor/Court Life Au facts? I guess?
More a yapfest under here. Lmao, soulless please correct me on some of this if you want.
- Orgeat is the Advisor to Pure Vanilla and reads his paperwork to him sometimes. Mostly because Pure Vanilla doesn't have his staff here, so he relies on Orgeat to read the more... finer letters (cursive)
- matching clothing constantly, but contrasting colours. Pure Vanilla in a blue shirt and black trousers? Orgeat has black shirt and blue trousers. So and and so forth.
- Orgeat is technically a normal Cookie with no rank — but! Comes from a family of knights and cardinals. He's the first Royal Advisor that came from that family. Most if the time the Advisor's are from the nobles, but he was picked by Pure Vanilla.
- Advisor Au is technically more modern but with fantasy elements. Think... uh, I don't know. There's kingdoms and also you can buy a phone. Magic!
- lmao I actually thought some stuff out, and I'm self-indulgent, so there's a few OCs running around. Yes, my ocs. Three of them are the maids in the castle and are the reason Orvanilla got together here.
- Orgeat was an Advisor before a husband, and he only even knew the king loved him back was by three very maniacal maids who were SO OVER the mutual pining that had been going on for a few years now. When I say pining, I MEAN pining. It was cringey for everyone involved. EVERYONE KNEW IT. The nobles (except the custards) were banding together just to abolish the rule that monarchy can only marry nobles JUST so those two would stop pining. It was that bad.
- how did the maids do it? Two literally cornered Orgeat while the third ran off to Pure Vanilla. And locked them into the same room while yelling "JUST GET MARRIED PLEASE WE CANT TAKE THIS EVEN THE NOBLES KNOW Y'ALL ARE INLOVE". When it was announced the two were getting married everyone rejoiced.
- this does mean LucidFount exists here. I'm too much of a freak to not add those two into this AU. Fount is a very important Duke far off in another kingdom, and Lucid is a Apothecary in Pure Vanilla's Kingdom. (Forbidden love your honour.) Sometimes Fount sends over letters to ask for a very specific Apothecary in Pure Vanilla's kingdom to supply herbs and such.
- okay, so. Since in my whole... self ship thing that Lucid is basically related to Pure Vanilla (which, i think is very funny shut up), this does mean its canon here. Lucid is like, a cousin once removed and DOES NOT care for what is going on. Let them live their life being an Apothecary. Gave up the chance for the crown so they can wig out over herbs. (Ironically, my second option for Lucid's job over Shepard was Apothecary. So.)
- Pure Vanilla and Lucid are like... distant friends? Lmao, Pure Vanilla doesn't really have any living relatives except for the custards who are his cousins and Lucid, who's just. Lucid. (Pure Vanilla would rather deal with whatever Lucid has with Fount then Elder Custard. Lucid is the favourite cousin by default.)
- yeah PV has a small royal family. It's him in direct line, followed by Lucid, and then the custards. Yes, he's related to the custards. For plot I swear. The custards (specifically Elder Custard) are, well, themselves. Lucid is the family favourite on default. (Lmao, sorry, I just really hate Elder Custard. So much. Pure Vanilla wouldn't exactly hate him, but, uh, he wouldn't like him either. EC is like that scheming royal family member I swear.)
