Katakura Kita: Warrior Wet Nurse, Teacher Of Dragons — Gutsy Broads

War doesn’t discriminate by gender. Politics does. But in 16th century Japan, Katakura Kita was a hero on both fronts.

“From the Onin War’s start in 1467, the Japanese islands were almost continuously at war for a full century. Kita came from two high-ranking samurai families in northern Japan, the Oniniwa and Katakura, who served local lord Date Terumune. At the time, the Date clan was but one among many in the region, with far more powerful, blue-blooded, influential and potentially dangerous ruling clans for neighbors. Like many warrior-caste daughters during this era of civil upheaval, Kita knew how to fight. What set her apart was a pronounced interest in and aptitude for the martial arts and military science. She was so skilled that she took it upon herself to act as a teacher to her half-brother Kagetsuna, who was heir to the Katakura headship.

The Date clan was slowly putting itself back together after infighting nearly destroyed it when, in 1567, a new heir, Bontenmaru, was born. Terumune ordered, Kita, then 29, to serve as wet nurse to the newborn. His birth mother, Yoshi, showed little interest in being maternal, and at certain times even tried to have him murdered to advance her own family’s political interests. Kita, by contrast, was especially close to Bontenmaru. Over the years, she nourished not only his body but also became one of his earliest teachers in both the literary and martial arts, helping shape him into a leader whose reputation in battle and politics earned him the moniker of One-Eyed Dragon. 

With strong opinions and powerful support from men of privilege and influence, Kita advocated for the young heir’s succession to Date headship. And in 1584, despite Yoshi’s best attempts to prevent it, she got her wish. Bontenmaru transcended both battlefield injury and illness — including a small-pox outbreak that claimed his right eye — to become Date Masamune, the clever, stylish, internationalist warlord who took the Date clan from obscurity to fame as the fourth wealthiest family in Japan.”

I’ll keep saying this till I’m here

Had Lily been man- a MALE friend Snape loved and respected so much that his grief over his death has never faded after many years as he made a promise to protect his son, everyone would be “OH that is so amazing, so honorable”

But because Lily is a woman it’s immediately incel behavior. It’s immediately thought as vile and disgusting. Because according to these people, who are def not incels themselves, still grieving over your female friend or doing anything for a woman would always be more unreasonable and creepy unless it’s a man

Or let me put it in another perspective, just because your friend immediately means nothing to you after you break it off or after she dies then that doesn’t mean it’s the same for Snape. Especially as Lily was the only positive figure he could look up to and identify with in his life.

But according to snaters, Lily is just a pretty housewife that he was pining over and not an extremely intelligent and talented girl who inspired him and who he understood on a deeper level

I just read an anti-comment about "girls just want to fix Snape" and let me tell you all:

We don't want to fix him.

We want to fix the world around him so he can have a good and well deserved fuck :v

[mamawolfsmith87]

We don't want to make Snape all sunshine and rainbows. That would be messed up. We just want to give him a peaceful world where he is owned by no one, he is his own person, and his has copious amounts of hot sex. It's not that difficult.

If you got enough money to live happily and comfortably for the rest of your life, but everyone who saw you immediately knew what fandom you are in and understood what that means, would you take it?

[gothiccharmschool]

Bold of you to assume I don't start telling people about my fandom(s) whenever the whim strikes me.
