BLOSCtober Day 12 - Tangea

I could have just drawn King Nova, but where's the fun in that? So we got King Nova and Romac, two important people in Mira's past and representing the Tangean Royals and Tangean Grounders

King Nova is an interesting character to me because while is a bigoted, conservative jerkass he isnt completely irredeemable; he does care about his daughter even if he is a douche to almost everyone else. Its rare to see the character archetype "fantasy racist" and "conservative parent" get any depth or used as more than an one-off antagonist to teach a lesson about acceptance.

Come to think of it, Nova reminds me of Val Yor from the "troq" ep of Teen Titans. Both are jerks who dont change their views even when the people they're prejudiced against save the day/their kingdom, so its interesting that Nova is still not treated as irredeemable

HE'S ALSO AN ADDICT AND REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER/TRIED TO INTERVENE WHEN HE FOUND OUT SHE STARTED DOING THE. ENERGY. THINGIE AND I LOVE THAT SOOO MUCH...

Nova is such a good character with a lot of depth, I'm sure it's a common headcanon but other than just raised racism/speciesm, if he did have a queen they was likely killed by someone who wasn't tangean. although he would be overprotective instead I guess.

I like that Mira gets to challenge his ideals and beliefs and becomes a way for him to be more open to new things!! even though he's so against it he lets her do her anyway and when it matters at least tries to see it her way?? which is really sweet

Just posting the extremely silly Tangean Royal Space Suit.

They even added a little cape.

“...Mira and her sister Stella snickered at the portrait, their father scowling at them. 

“No matter how many times I’ve seen it, your terrified expression never gets old father!” Mira laughed

“You would be terrified too!” King Nova nagged,” I became a new father and King in a matter of a few weeks, it was a lot to handle all at once!” 

“ Mother seems fine,” Stella added in, her snickering continuing,” and she had just had Mira right before”  

“ Your mother could handle things a lot better than I could,” he paused, a sad expression coming over him as he admired the sweet face of his late wife,”..she was a lot stronger than me.”.... 

______________________________________________

I have drawn Mira’s mother before, like two years ago (DAMN) 

for people new to her, this is Queen Aria, she is Mira’s mother and she passed away when Mira is about 8-9 years old. She was Murdered, however since her death King Nova and Mira have always thought she died of a sickness,that is till Mira finds out the truth with in the story this picture would be based in (I gotta write it) 

 I think this is also the first time i mention Mira has sisters, yes sisters with an S, she has three. Also a new HC of mine while drawing this up, the broach king Nova wears in the show is actually Aria’s! That’s why he’s not wearing it here but Aria is. 

( also it’s amazing how much younger king nova looks without facial hair XDD)

King Nova: Listen, we should talk. Mira: I disagree. Open communication was never our family's forte.
