I can’t ever leave tumblr because I just love the tag function.. no other social media platform allows you to heckle yourself on your own post. you get to preemptively make metatextual commentary abt your OWN POST. how cool is that
forever baffled by people whose favorite characters are middle aged or older and have signs of visible aging in their game model/book description/actor playing them and they mod them to look younger in the game and make fanart where they're young enough to pass as their child and describe them in fanfiction as a good twenty years younger by appearance. just. baffled. that's not your man, that's the college intern filling in for him on his day off.
Things we can ascertain from this as being absolutely and totally canon:
Teysa Karlov collects paintings of other pale black-haired women (Cunt Knows Cunt)
Her collection likely focuses on women from other planes, likely even before planeswalkers became common knowledge.
There is/was a thriving interplanar art trade that we never heard about.
Liliana, Death's Majesty, was an in-universe painting that Liliana sat for.
Since they didn't really have time for that in the original story, it must have been on a previous visit (likely to confirm Amonkhet was Razaketh's home plane)
This means that Teysa Karlov had a painting of Liliana Vess in her collection at the time of War of the Spark.
Upon realizing she had a painting of Nicol Bolas's top general, she moved it to a place of prominence on the grand stair because that's a real fucking power move.
