I reblog junk here so I can turn my main blog Into my art blog. Will reblog my own art here. I am Greeny, Agender Pansexual. (they/them)

Fantasy culture where instead of bouqets or whatever, a bride carries the carved skull of one of her ancestors, inlaid with jewels, so that their spirit blesses the marriage.

For brides without a family skull, an animal skull can be substituted. Wolf and deer skulls are the most popular, but one queen started a trend of weird wedding skulls when she carried the skull of a draft horse for her wedding to her sixth consort. There were opals set into the eyes.

Bride: I know that it's tradition in our family to carry the skull of great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandma Calendilia, but my beloved pet leopard gecko Ser Augustus III recently passed and I'd like to carry his spirit with me for this momentous occasion.

Mother:

Mother: Okay but I don't know if I have jewels small enough to fit in the sockets.
