#icy lady

I swear, I just wanted to post a short post with a nice art and sketch, and not describe my AU 😭😭😭

I'm not a fan of the Mystic Mayor and Macaque (ShadowPuppet) ship, but I like their interaction. I have a small AU (Let's call it «Cracked Bone»? Idk-) that revolves around the fact that the Lady Bone Demon brought Macaque: the Mayor is jealous, the Lady forbids being jealous, and Macaque likes to tease the Mayor and ruin his reputation in the eyes of the Lady Bone Demon. 😃

The whole context is: Demon Bull King releases the Lady Bone Demon from her crypt, but Her body didn't turn into bones. She got free, but Sun Wukong quickly defeated her, before she had time to get stronger. Now she has to hide in the apartment of her servant, the Mayor. Shi Qiong really works as a Mayor of the Megapolis and loves his job.

As Chief of War, Shi Qiong was killed by Pilgrims, but the Lady resurrected him, spending her strength not on protect herself, but on his life. This weakened her and allowed the Monk to imprison her in the crypt. In a panic, the resurrection went wrong, changing the Mayor forever. He used to be a serious, stoic warrior, but now he's more like a 14 year old cute, silly boy in love with his goddess (simp).

Yes, I made all this up just to make the Mayor a silly cute boy. I'm a cringe and I proud.🤙😎

Usually, events occur at a time when Icy Lady is sick and sits at home, and the Mayor and Macaque are running around the city and looking for bone fragments. Once all of the bone's fragments is collected, Lady will be able to regain her true form, which Sun Wukong destroyed. That's why AU is called a «Cracked Bone».

Some interactions between Shi Qiong and Macaque 😋 :

         THE HANDMAID NODDED, LOOKING UP TO meet his eyes ---- a small frown threatening to appear. most of her colleagues were afraid of approaching the wildlings but not her ---- she found them rather interesting, in their own way. he was no lord & it was a relief to be able to speak freely for once.           THEY WERE SURROUNDED BY FIERCE, STRONG women  ---- and a girl. Reyna’s look fell on the training grounds ---- lady Brienne fought better than any man she had seen in King’s Landing. the young lady of the bear island was an inspiration ---- she’d be a great leader when grows up & lady Sansa might seem cold, but the bastard hoped she still had hope in her heart. the north was at war with the dead & they needed their lady’s strength.

In the main post on Cracked Bone AU, I already said that being Chief of war Shi Qiong died and due to a mistake at resurrection, his character changed completely. Should I say how surprised the Lady Bone Demon was to meet her serious, stoic warrior as sweet and shy Mayor of the Megapolis?

It adds a bit of extra drama as it's too unexpected for the Icy Lady. Shi Qiong is also quite accommodating now. He doesn't defend his point of view as before and asks a lot for permission before doing something. Obviously, the Lady is unhappy by this. So, this is one of the main reasons why she decided to use the Macaque to collect fragments of the bone.

In short:

Since Icy Lady is a workaholic, it’s hard for her to tear herself away from work. The Mayor came up with an interesting way to help Lady Bone Demon continue reading and let her sleep. Shi Qiong himself will read for her. At first he actually read ancient books and spells, but soon Lady realized that she can't remember the spells. Therefore, Shi Qiong began to read interesting Novels to his Lady. Most of them are dystopian, where people fight for their rights.

Left is final and right one is alpha version

While I'm drawing something serious, let's take look at the Mystic Mayor's model from the back ☺️. It wasn't difficult, but it was hard to make the ear look suitable. After all, I realized that it was enough to simply mirror the head and everything is fine now 🥰

Bonus ✨

I wanted something simple and colorful, because there have been a lot of sketches lately. Since I recently presented my Cracked Bone AU, I decided that drawing the Icy Lady would be a good idea.
