being a hater real quick but WOW i hate this trend of headcanons thats like "rome sexually abused [insert blorbo] as a child" so much. way to reveal you know nothing about roman history or roman views of sexuality apart from "lol pederasty"

like wow did you know some people are actually interested in rome and find it annoying to see him reduced to a one-note villain in some other character's tragic backstory. did u know.

#hws rome #text #i'm not even trying to like #defend the moral character of personified rome #he absolutely would be capable of horrible shit #just this particular headcanon i see all the time and the way its done leaves a bad taste in my mouth #its always so flat and sensationalized and with 0 interest in history or cultural context #discourse #i guess?#lmk if any of this needs to be tagged lol

Anne de Pisseleu had exercised a form of power that was intrinsically extra-institutional and dependent entirely of the king’s favor; her role was clearly understood by political insiders. Criticism took the form of conventional hostility to the role of women in power, yet in the king’s lifetime had to be circumspect and oblique. However, she lived more than half her life after the death of the king whose love had given her power and wealth. In this, she weathered the storm of disgrace remarkably effectively, carved for herself a new role and ended her life a moderately wealthy woman whose assets became a matter for ferocious competition among her relatives.

-David Potter, "The Life and After-Life of a Royal Mistress: Anne de Pisseleu, Duchess of Étampes"

#historicwomendaily #Context: She lived for over 70 years and was a royal mistress for only 20 of them (till Francis's death)#anne de pisseleu #french history #16th century #my post #Francis I #queue #I hate how Anne is dismissed and deemed irrelevant after Francis I's death #Most historians merely claim that she was exiled; fell into disgrace and humiliation; and died in obscurity #Kathleen Wellman even goes to say that Anne was shut up by her husband in a gloomy castle for the rest of her life #(And there's always a distasteful tone of wry satisfaction as they say this - as if she was finally 'getting what she 'deserved')#Suffice to say: this idea is objectively incorrect and I hate it #yes Anne DOES seem to have had an incredibly harrowing and horrible experience for a few years after; that should never be overlooked #But as this article says: Anne managed to weather her 'fall' and carve a new role for herself extraordinarily well #It's one of the most interesting things about her life to me #She still had wealth and property which she rigorously administered and expanded; she headed family affairs and arranged marriages;#She and her terrible husband appear to have informally separated (with a formal separation of property) and in his own last will he #flat-out wrote that Anne 'would never take her place as my wife'. She outlived him by around 15 years and 100% got the last laugh.#She also openly embraced Protestantism in the height of the Wars of Religion which was such a major bad bitch move #guaranteeing her both personal protection and material gratification #In fact one of the last known references of her was in 1576 where she hosted a meeting of Protestant leaders in her castle of Challuau #As you can see: Anne transitioned public royal influence to private personal power #But she clearly remained at the heart of politics and war throughout it all and was always relevant

between finding a copy of dragon maid at the library and watching super lovers for my BL research i'm starting to think some anime fans have a really low bar for what they find to be objectionable content

#yes im aware of the history of the dragon maid mangaka so i get w that context it's probably more disturbing #but like... there's a little girl w big boobs. okay.#super lovers is crazy also. all the comments on crunchyroll are like 'EWWW OMG MY EYES' and the episode has like. a kiss #like guys this is tame. this is not shocking.#idk where im going w this i just find it kinda funny after reading abt these series that are so horrible and disturbing #and they're just... not #this isn't universal i've watched and read some stuff recently that deserves its reputation (even if i did enjoy it)#just funny that ppl give super lovers and smthn like... junjou romantica which has on-screen rape in the first episode the same reaction

#meg talks #KSZGSJDH sorry this one is petty but #baffles me when ppl say the rcm is not quite as bad as irl cops like…#i feel like that’s not the intended takeaway at all #didn’t elysium start out as a ttrpg about precinct 41 where they played the cops as comically corrupt and horrible as possible? 😭#harry himself has a history of horrific police brutality #kim talks abt how officers are corrupt and take bribes and are hostile to misconduct investigations to protect their own #even (and especially) in the context of using deadly force #not to mention how the hardie boys/union have basically become cops in everything but name #and the claires are massively corrupt #like the only real difference is the rcm’s lack of funding and its origins #but even re: the post-revolution origins… kim admits that it’s EXTREMELY ambiguous #whether the rcm was started to protect the citizens of revachol from the coalition as an assertion of independence #or whether it was really a hollow gesture to placate the citizens and the rcm has really served the coalition the whole time #and if u say u believe that the rcm is the revolutionaries’ legacy even kim will be like lol. well you can be sentimental if u want #and either way the fact remains that NOW they’re just another arm of the coalition regardless of how they started #like… i dunno man. i feel like the game makes the point p clearly that a cop is a cop #even a labor union can become a police force bc it’s about the act of policing more than anything #and even with what kim says about how rcm officers have to be men of many hats #and include things like social work in their jobs… i mean…#social workers and psychiatry are already part of the carceral police state irl 💀 that’s not all that different #and also like can u imagine KIM handling social work? let alone any of the other assholes at 41? 😭#the rcm’s station call system may be better as well than what we have irl but like. u know. reform vs abolition etc #idk man. i just can’t get behind the idea that the rcm being better than irl police forces by the slimmest of margins #and more due to lack of resources than principles #means much of anything 💀 a cop is a cop #anyway. watever…

Update:

So I told my mother about the memoir I wanted (Rasputin: His Malignant Influence and His Assasination, by Felix Yusupov)

And she just like??? Offered to buy it for me?? I believe she meant as a holiday gift, so I likely won't get it until later in the month, BUT HEY MAN, THATS LIKE 50USD I DON’T HAVE TO SPEND ON A BOOK SO ILL TAKE IT.

#this happened with the last book too #my brother just dropped everything he was doing and bought the book for me #i had the money too #idk hes just nice #was surprised to get the response from my mom though #likely because she didn't have shit else to give me oops #for context all my gifts from her have usually been horribly appropriated from some vague aspect of my interests #lost splendor #felix yusupov #феликс юсупов #history hyperfixation #my post #rasputin his malignant influence and his assasination #la fin de raspoutine

Going to get drinks with the movie guys on friday <33

#one of them texted me and at first I thought like ughhh is this a date context but I still said yes & just hoped it wouldn't be #and then he was like »cool! I'll ask [redacted] too if that time works for him!«#Yesss!! man those guys are so cool. they love german literature and history and movies #and have horrible taste (sometimes) and very particular opinions #oh I just love this period when making new friends #when you know you have so many common interests and so many topics which you haven't even touched on yet #⚓
