No - he can’t be. I know him; he’s harder than lead. He once looked at a man and he fell dead of fright. And you would have known this - you see things of this size. Did you see some sign? No! Silas does not die like this; HE DOES NOT DIE.

I said, this is my penance. This is my absolution. I would carve his heart out again if I had to. I would carve mine out with it too.

only a baby blog but its already time for a psa. this is ur friendly reminder that rose benjamin is a queen before she is EVER a mother. a monarch before she is EVER a caretaker. her devotion to her children only extends so long as they are NECESSARY and IRREPLACEABLE to the dynasty she is building. she has CANONICALLY chosen this dynasty over her children multiple times, and will continue to do so (ex: choosing to save jack over michelle, the whole “we’ll be young again” scene towards the end, etc). she has objectively done things that are HARMFUL/CRUEL to her children in service of the monarchy. for more eloquent/engaging metas on this subject, see this post and this post.

#ooc ; psa #{ im just }#{ diluting rose benjamin to a mother archetype is wrong and insulting }#{ she is in essence a character that functions to display }#{ what happens }#{ when someone is both a doting mother and a ruthless queen }#{ and what disconnect and clashes result }#{ but ruthless queen is absolutely }#{ her primary archetype }#{ rose benjamin is a complex character (◡‿◡✿) }#{ pls dont erase major portions of her characterization (☉‿☉✿) }

The heat is heavy, but she has learned to carry this weight just as she carries the weight of her sins. She will pay for them one day in BLOOD the way she pays for the heat in sweat- in gallons, but with an expression that hides the true cost. Her children are beautiful, and for that she is BLESSED. Superstitions are too easily tied to visuals here, and she is no different. Even if the HOLMES boy did make appearance at church, she would have claimed to see the devil in those eyes, demons hiding in his dark curls. GOVERNMENT had no business in Shiloh, and that younger one was only going to cause TROUBLE, wandering about aimlessly while his elder brother stuck his nose where it didn't belong.

Catching sight of her own son, she SIGHS, crossing lightly creaking wood to catch his attention. "Jack. Your sister was LOOKING for you earlier this afternoon; it does you no favours to skip these prayer groups. What could you possibly have had that warranted MISSING it? If your father had checked in and not MYSELF, you would be sorely regretting your choice, Jonathon Benjamin."

It is distressingly dark and dank in here, the kind of place that would constitute her NIGHTMARES, were she prone to them. Far too many ghosts in these dripping corridors, howling for JUSTICE, for REDEMPTION, for anything but the dark fate which awaited them in these halls before the firing squad came to call. Whether God cannot see here, or chooses to turn a blind eye, she knows not.

But what better place to convene with a DEMON?

--"Before you express your SHOCK at seeing me here, do think on your words. The reverend is not the only conduit of HIGHER POWER my husband consults in his troubled moments."

presidentviktorpetrov

A most INOPPORTUNE time for their newest ally to succumb to his poor health, but then again, seeing the aging premier next to her husband while signing their treaty had given him a YOUTHFUL sort of appearance. She would not, however, mourn how much closer the new premier and her husband were in age; he could have EASILY been younger, casting the shadow of old age on a King with his image already in jeopardy.

She extends a hand, smile WARM and welcome to their guest.

--"A THOUSAND welcomes, our most valued ally and new found FRIEND. I do apologize that our family was unable to attend your ceremony, but we have had some REORGANIZING to do of our own as of late. All the same, it is such an HONOUR to host you now."

Monsters exist because they are part of the divine plan, and in the horrible features of those same monsters the power of the creator is revealed.

--"In peace, DIPLOMACY reigns. It is such a pleasure to FINALLY be joining the rest of the world instead of fighting over water sources."

She laughs, a gesture of good faith more than one of genuine amusement as she calls a childhood in exactly that brutal land. But she has done better. Will do better.

--"Please, come in, make yourself comfortable. The hospitality of Shiloh is YOURS while you are our honoured guest."

She greets him with a smile, genuine yet diplomatic. Respect is key, even if she is not precisely sure where the eldest of Violet's sons stand on the name issue that troubles her so deeply.

--"A son-in-law is STILL yet a son by my count. We haven't seen much of you since the wedding, Mycroft. You've been well, I hope?"

She looks upon him with pity, a sad, hollow memory of the adoration that once glowed from her features. She loves her son. But he has made poor choices.

--"When God showed him favour, he made him stone. I cannot force his mercy again any more than I could stay an act of divine intervention. Time heals MOST wounds, Jack; do not forget to pray."

❝ You’re wrong. ❞

Yes, Enjolras, because the BEST way to appeal to the Queen’s good side is to antagonize her. Brilliant move.

❝ People. The people are the future of the KINGDOM. What good are your crowns and your power if you don’t have people on which to step to make it to the THRONE? You’d be ruling over nothing but dirt and rocks. ❞

He takes a DEEP breath, tries to reign in his indignation. ❝ The people – your people – are flesh and blood too. Too many lives were LOST during the war to defend Port Prosperity. To hand it back to Gath after all we sacrificed for you and your family…what else is that but SPIT in our faces? ❞

--"And what of the war? YOUR people, MY people, hiding in trenches and throwing ammunition like children throwing rocks? You would rather risk more of your lives by the hundreds than see peace in your lifetime?"

The Queen sighs, the sound patronizing as much as it was pitying. She does not involve herself in politics, comes the reminder. Her spine straightens, and that motherly look of concern returns to her features.

--"Your protest WILL be forgotten. Even your death at the righteous hands of my husband's court will fade; you will not be made a martyr, and people will move on. This hand-over will be but a small bump in the history books, and your name, unlike my DAUGHTER’S, will not be written."
