now that’s what i call queen shit

(and the fearsome Yiling Laozu lingling)

this is Heirra Aphrra! shes a rustblood whos been effectively beaten down by society and the laws of who she THINKS to be the heiress - but as it turns out that wasn’t really riddah’s doing, it was her advisors. anyhow, the government is as against her entire caste as can be, and sometimes shes scared even to venture outside her hive. lowbloods are treated as disposable in this kingdom, and whenever she does go out there are bloods higher than her that remind her of how little they think she matters. she goes by her full name because she insists its the only pretty thing about her, and shes sort of embarrassed by how huge her horns are because she sometimes runs into stuff and clonks into doorways. shes obviously got the wings mutation that lowbloods sometimes get, and although theyre spread here she hides them almost all the time to avoid being culled. shes got a cherry redblood hiding in her basement - shes doing her best to keep him safe and undiscovered by imperial drones or police. she hasnt told her friends yet that shes been talking to a purpleblood on pesterchum, and she wonders what could happen to her because of it...

NOSEY-NESS IS ALL GOOD I AM SO FOR IT FRIEND! but god okay lets be honest she is so amazing i’m smiling like an idiot just thinking about her right now. we talk everyday (not so much today because her phone isn’t working) facetiming almost every night and texting during the day, and I got to see her for a bit last night. we’re both open about our feelings for each other, but we’ve only discussed dating once because she isn’t out (people suspecting scares her so much to the point she gets nervous talking to me around other people) and I don’t want to pressure her. but gosh!!!! shes such a bubbly, funny, adorable and kind person, i’ve never liked anyone in this way. she calls me out, one time i called myself a cold-hearted bitch and she said “no you’re not you’re a happy smiley dork” n i was like no dude thats just your doing. the otherday at school she touched my shoulder when we passed in the hallway and I smiled the rest of the day i’m so fucking weak and Gay and!!!! it’s all her fault. i just never want to shut up about her, i always think about her, i wish i could take her on dates and hold her hand and be that cute overly affectionate couple that everyone hates. I’m just so completely unguarded with her, which may not be the safest thing, because say she stopped talking to me tomorrow, i’d be more broken up about it than i have been for any (established) relationship I’ve ever been in. but really it’s worth it to be so happy about someone. I want to see her more, If we were together I would never care if i couldn’t tell anyone because she isn’t out. It doesn’t make me want to date her less. i want so badly to take her out and do cute things with her, i want to learn everything about her and do stupid stuff like… i dont even know i cant think straight (HA) I just want to be with her. she has such a cute smile and when she laughs its the most amazing thing, and it’s usually to the extreme (i have a video of her crying from laughter at a fast food joint its the funniest thing) she always looks so beautiful and adorable, like she shows up dressed to the nines and im like ‘wow am i gay!!!’ and then she shows up in lazy clothes and a messy ponytail and im like ‘wow i am gay!!!’ and i always do double takes its like when in an over exaggerated anime the love interest walks in and the interested jumps 20 feet into the air with heart eyes. thats me. on a daily basis, it is not safe. okay im stopping here because we’re about to facetime but friend, just know that i am so gay and its all her fault and i love it so much
