I find it very telling that Tamsyn Muir, who came up through this hellsite, wrote books where the evil emperor starts out as a basically okay leftist millennial tumblr user.

What makes the villain the villain (inasmuch as it's useful to examine TLT characters through that kind of simplistic lens) is that when the chips are down and he has to choose, his priority is punishing the wicked, not saving the people left behind.

I would invite anyone whose engagement with their cause consists of finding the 'correct' group of people to hate, to consider whether 'evil emperor' is the next career move you see yourself taking, and if it isn't, to gently suggest disembarking from the hate train.

Because no one wants their God King to be a tumblrina called John.

remembering again that perplexing post by someone who claimed everyone should get standards because the locked tomb didn't have any substantial explicit queer representation and the only definitive gay thing they found in all of it was judith's unrequited and socially discouraged feelings for marta that got brought up in as yet unsent. I saw that post before I read the books and already knew it was wrong, but I assumed it would be at least a theoretically conceive take to have, like maybe the sapphic relationships were clearly set up for endgame romance arcs but they hadn't kissed yet or something so no one was technically a couple. and then gtn was five hundred pages of gideon expressing boundless sexual attraction to women every three sentences like she needs it to live. cavalierhood is her job and lesbianing is her one and only hobby. how on earth could a person convince themself that everything she thinks about corona is just table-scraps allusions at the possibility of a gay person.

I've been thinking about this post a lot because I like queer books, but I do not like romance novels, and there is always a lot of talk about what "counts" as representation. To a lot of people that seems to be a kiss and a happy ending and/or characters plainly stating their labels in most up to date terms.

But also. If they read as yet unsent, they presumably read HtN. Which you know, beside everything else, features a scene where Pyrrha goes like "I am actually a woman and I want you to know that I fucked your mom." That was pretty queer.

okay yeah i do think your filler is off putting and your botox makes you rigid and strange to look at

[tomatoinyourgarden]

I know you think it’s “feminist” to hate on women who already have self esteem and image issues (through no fault of their own, as a direct result of patriarchy) for doing something to help them cope with their fleeting youth - which may or may not have been stripped from them against their will due to years of depression, abuse, oppression, or whatever else - but the truth is that the freedom to get Botox is actually a right feminists have fought for - whether intentionally or unintentionally. Women used to get thrown away when we outlived our youth and beauty - now we have the option to prolong it and change the way we are perceived and treated by society as a whole. We ALL had to grow up too fast. We ALL have to cope with a childhood that ended too soon. I’m no less a feminist than you are simply because I choose to hold onto my youth and beauty because it helps me feel better about my own loss of innocence. This is all just another excuse to hate on women and tear us down. You’re literally letting the patriarchy win by judging women for their personal choices which harm absolutely no one. Please grow up. Not everyone is conventionally attractive or ages gracefully. Some women can cope with that and some can’t. Both deserve love and respect. Have some decency. You’re not edgy for this. You’re hating just like a man would.

Note: This is just a final concept WIP. I'll finish each card after the concept for all cards is done.

III - The Empress: Glaurica

The empress always focuses a lot on motherhood. But how many loving mothers are there even in the series??? Besides Glaurica, Pyrrha I thought would fit this card as well. But I'm already having a familial piece in mind for the 10 of cups with her.

So, ultimately I chose Glaurica. I thought the very early scene where Harrow reads the Emperor's invitation letter that makes Glaurica cry about her son is a good fit for this card. Ortus ended up looking a bit derpy so I'll have to adjust his face for the final card lol.

Hope you enjoy!
