Yes.
I don't see enough posts on how nature wives must be viewed in-universe between the empires and the witches. Like, it's one thing to hear that your classmate Shelby the slacker who sleeps through class and switched dimensions on accident is dating someone. BUT THEN THAT SOMEONE TURNS OUT TO BE MOTHER-FUCKING ROYALTY?? At first people think "No, it's not possible, Shelby's just calling her a queen and people took it out of context". But then Shelby starts living up that Trophy Wife Lifestyle™ and all of a sudden her normally torn-up uniform is pristine and it's made of super soft and expensive materials. Her potion stand looks brand-new and so do all of her mixing and grinding tools. And now she's wearing new jewelry that the elemental witches swear is real, which makes no sense because it's made of diamonds and netherite. There are bets being placed and arguments of whether or not the rumors are true. the leading theory is she's dating a noble, not royalty but still filthy rich. Even teachers are curious and heated debates go long into the night. And then graduation comes up and everyone gets really quiet because holy fuck all 11 rulers have shown up. And when asked they simply say "well we aren't missing Shelby's graduation, she is our favorite witch after all" and the whole school blows up, because now it's not a question of IF she's dating a ruler but WHICH ruler. And it gets answered really quickly because after the ceremony Queen Katherine of Glimmer Grove proposes to Shelby. And Headmaster Nowls rolls in his grave. BUT IN THE EMPIRES? Glimmer Grove citizen: Did you hear Queen Katherine is marrying The Great Witch Shelby? Chromia: citizen: Oh yeah they're such a cute couple i hear all the empires are getting invited! Sanctuary Citizen: I heard that the theme is nature!
this was supposed to be finished for the 2nd empires anniversary but here we are, half a year later lol
here's some close ups :) just so tumblr doesn't completely destroy the quality
//slight spoilers for Scott's latest witchcraft smo video\\
As soon as I saw Shelby's massive cloak I knew I had to draw it made of clouds. It looks so comfy I want one irl
Oh, definitely
I remember seeing somewhere that Pris's character was 16, and Shelby is canonically in her 30's. So like tell me Shelby wouldn't look at this small, sad orphan child and just...take her home?! like Shelby: *after just getting home, standing awkwardly in the doorway* Uh hi Katherine i didn't win but i came second place, by the way how do you feel about having kids? Katherine: Shelby, tell me you didn't kidnap a child The sad, pathetic, feral wet-cat known as Prismarina: i came willingly and i am NOT a child! Katherine: *already thinking of where to get adoption papers* of course you aren't, now come inside and get warm.

I figured the witches were more of a guild and it fits more with her character instead of something like sage
Who should I do next?

Very, very traumatized, ever heard of "Danganronpa: Kirigiri" ?
I'd like to purchase some therapy for her.
Fun fact: When she was younger, she had two braids, one on each side.
she was so real for that tiny ass braid
It’s been a few months since Empires s2 came to an end and I wanted to make a piece reflecting on the time we spent with these characters 🥰✨ When season 1 ended I did a series of paintings set to the End Poem, and so I decided to revisit the concept once again, making sure to switch up which line corresponded to which person. This series means a lot to me—in fact, this is one of two big Empires s2 projects I’ve been working on! There’s another one still in the works :D
wait i just realised that since wc!shelby is e!shelby, that means she would have like. the weirdest perspective on everyone else because she’s experienced pretty much the same things as half the other contestants
Getting possessed by a malevolent entity that makes her yell at her crush? check Effectively cast out of her home due to something with her magic? slightly different circumstances but check Dealing with a weird corruption thing that grows as she gets stronger? check Having a ton of voices in her head at once? definitely not to the same extent as cleo but check
I just think it’s neat
(Now excuse me while i go try and figure out what the fuck to do with the shubble double au now)
Witchcraft Shelby and Katherine in their later years?
They’re monster hunting!
rbs are appreciated <3
