BLARGH! Ouuuu hay! Empress Wu is my 100th deviant

orangish ovarload!

btw I tried to write the character for tiger in chinese on her fan. I fail

dis for dis ---> [link] Histoy Lovers is having an october contest. The theme is a historical figure dresses up as someone or something for Halloween. Meh She's suppose to be a tiger (cuz she fierce and ruthless in her search for power over China. asfjdkl I was going to make her dress up like a snake but I couldn't think of a good design) . She has tiger ears on her head. It's difficult to see T__T
_{Hey look it's empress Wu! The infamous empress regnant of ancient china!
Empress Wu was the only woman in the history of China to assume the title of Empress Regnant, but not in the most honorable way. The lady knew how to take charge, she was super ambitious, and super controlling XP. Empress Wu started off as a concubine to the emperor. There's a story about how she killed her own infant daughter and blamed the death of her baby on Consort Xiao and Empress Wang the current wife of Tang Taizong, the emperor of that time. Consort Xiao and Empress Wang were cast off which left Wu as Tang Taizong's wife and empress of China. She later rose to power as a ruling empress.She even set up her own short dynasty in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, but this didn't last very long XP. She wasn't nesscarily the nicest lady, but she sure is interesting. History is filled with ruthless ambitions men, and it's interesting to hear a story about a ruthless ambitious lady. >:3 I only looked at a few drawings of the empress and ladies from the Tang Dynasty so I probably got some of the fashion wrong. She's wearing a Daxiushan[link] type outfit, which I think actually looks really pretty ^__^}
