"Obi?" // part of an au

AU concept where Nanami is a knight and Gojo is royal but like it’s deeper than that

So the Gojo Kingdom had a prophecy of a princess with snow-white hair and glowing blue eyes who would be the next Six Eyes and Infinity user, but uh oh Satoru was born instead of a princess, so his parents parade him around as one and call him Satori. Nobody sees his face behind his veil (that part of the design mimicking his blindfold). “Princess Satori” was messing around with one of the knights on duty one night and got him to break character by revealing that there is no princess and it’s been a prince this whole time. That knight was Knight Lieutenant Nanami, who Gojo then requests to have as his personal guard

Blah blah blah they fall in love and they get married (they allow this to happen to keep selling the idea that Satoru’s a woman lmao) but on their wedding day, the exiled king of the Zen’in Kingdom, Toji Fushiguro (DON’T ASK HOW THAT BUM BECAME KING 😭💀), sneaks in and kills the king and queen, along with Gojo (so we moved the whole Toji thing to when everyone was a little older because it made sense in this plot). Gojo’s actually alive bc he revives himself with RCT, but Nanami doesn’t know that. And now that the king and queen are dead, and so is Satoru, this leaves Nanami to immediately become the king of the Gojo Kingdom. Eventually, after hiding out for a month and letting Toji think he’s truly gone, Gojo goes out and decimates the guy, comes back to the kingdom, and reveals that he’s been alive this whole time while also revealing that there was never a Princess Satori and that it’s been Prince (now King) Satoru the whole time.

Gojo and Nanami go and adopt Megumi and Tsumiki from the Zen’in Kingdom (as both an act of peace between the kingdoms and also to get these kids outta this place where they’re hated) and then have a redo of their wedding on a very small scale on this private beach that only a few people know about

So the bottom drawing is Nanami after he’s been king for a while and I thought it would be silly to give him haha funny mustache teehee because y’know that’s what medieval fantasy kings feel like to me :) there’s a lot more stuff that I left out but that’s the general gist of it all so far 😁

continuation of this

hoverboard design inspired by @duckchaw's firelight viktor post

There's something so perverse about how Jayce is paraded around in white and red and gold when his House colors are clearly shades of blues and browns.

Especially because the more he is used and controlled by the council as a whole, the more he is plastered about as some figurehead or poster boy of Piltover's progresses, the more he is draped in the gilding of false colors.

We actually never get to see him wearing his own House colors past his flashback with the mage, in which the majority of his little outfit is made up of the more humble color scheme.

The only thing he actually still owns in his house colors is the blanket he gives to Viktor, which can be seen in his childhood room and is made of the same material his mother wore during the blizzard for warmth.

Edit to add:

I'm adding this to the original post so y'all don't assume I just didn't analyze the literal BEST Jayce outfit in the whole series.

It's a mourning shroud.

While the highlights may have some blue to them (blue highlighting is very common in animation to keep things from looking dull or muddy) the midtone on his shirt is actually in the yellow field.

Also, no. The Talis House symbol is not red. It's brown and gold (sometimes with white).

Any red relating to the Talis symbol is BECAUSE of the color corruption of Jayce, not in spite of it.

The outfit still has meaning, but as I said in the post, he NEVER goes back to his family colors after being paraded around in the red, gold, and white.

This outfit is black, red, and silver. His armor is black and gold with an off white coat (to show that he's still doing this in a way for Piltover as well, probably.)

It's and end and new beginning. It's a rebirth.

Not a return.
