Qi Rong: Ha. Xie Lian? Dead? Let me tell you something. That boy is Literally impossible to kill.

Qi Rong: To prove a theory, I one time tried to just straight up shoot him with a real-ass gun.

Qi Rong: The bullet missed, ricocheted off a frying pan on the wall and broke open a cabinet full of bottles which I then tripped on and fell over. It hurt my pride more than anything.

Avenues of female political influence in late republican Rome:

Senior women frequently acted as advisors to their brothers, husbands, children, and occasionally even parents. Servilia is known to have had a strong influence over her brother Cato even in his adulthood, Fulvia was a key agent and confidante for each of her husbands, and even Tullia sometimes sent letters telling her father Cicero what she thought he should do.

Women had their own social networks in parallel to men. They visited each other for social engagements, religious observances, scoping out marital prospects for themselves or their children, and passed along letters and information. Aristocratic women like Servilia could often visit politicians' households more easily than their male relatives could, and female clients would often prefer to approach their patron's wife than the patron himself. Women could also be patrons with client networks in their own right.

Women could act as negotiators, spies, and go-betweens. Mark Antony's mother negotiated with Sextus Pompey on Antony's behalf; Servilia pulled strings to get Brutus and Cassius' provinces reassigned. Men often relied on their female relatives to tactfully sound out alliances, gauge public opinion, or collect intelligence while the man could maintain plausible deniability.

Women could canvass or intercede on behalf of relatives. Although being too publicly active was considered embarrassing, it was quite proper for a mother, wife, sister or daughter to talk to the family's allies, clients, and other politicians to get benefits for her kin. They could help male relatives get elected, taken off proscription lists, or get his legislation more support.

Women were probably consulted on most marriage alliances, and thus on political alliances via marriage. Mothers, grandmothers and aunts in particular were often involved, thanks to their extensive social networks and opportunity to assess potential spouses. Although brides usually didn't get much say in their first marriage, they usually had more choice in second and third marriages.

Women's social connections were especially important due to Rome's barebones civil infrastructure. Compared to modern states, republican Rome had very few magistrates or civil servants. There were also few "social services" in the modern sense. People relied on family connections and the patron-client system in order to meet their needs, respond to emergencies, and get things done. Having more friends in as many places as possible was necessary for political survival; you couldn't afford to sequester your women.

When men went overseas to govern provinces or serve in the legions, it was often their female relatives who managed estates in their absence, advocated for their interests in Rome, and kept them updated on political events. This was especially important in the late republic, when wives didn't normally follow their husbands to the provinces. A wife was expected to be a representative for her husband and point of contact for his allies. Mothers, sisters and aunts may do the same.

Property and power went hand in hand. Wealthier women had more social and political influence. Changes in marriage and inheritance law resulted in more women owning property in their own right during the late republic. Unless a will was written otherwise, by default sons and daughters inherited equal shares of an estate. Sine manu marriage enabled women to become legally independent at earlier ages, take back their dowries after divorce, and avoid being completely under their husbands' authority.

Although women couldn't vote or run for office, and were expected to use their influence in private homes instead of the public square, there's no doubt that aristocratic women like Servilia, Fulvia and Aurelia played major parts in building alliances, furthering their families' careers, defusing conflicts, and sometimes starting new ones. A particularly well-connected woman like Servilia could exert more weight in the Senate than most senators.

The system they lived in aligned their personal interests with those of their husbands, sons, and birth families, so most of our evidence shows women acting on behalf of men rather than pursuing personal agendas. These allegiances also ran along class lines: Servilia would have been far more interested in preserving her family's reputation, security and wealth than in the issues of poor or middle-class women.

In Roman politics, the personal was political. Parties and get-togethers were networking events. Weddings were for the families' joint prospects and goals as much as they were about the newlyweds. Friendships were expected to include reciprocal favors in business and politics. Your very house was both a symbol of yourself as a person, and your political hub, and your children would learn the system and make connections as much as home as in the forum.

This means that women, by necessity, were heavily involved in Roman politics. We have less documentation of their work than men's, since so much of it was unofficial and behind closed doors, but the republic depended on aristocratic women's skills, activities and relationships as much as on men's.

(Notes taken on Servilia and Her Family, by Susan Treggiari.)

#and of course the aristocratic women AND men depended on tons and tons of slaves! #behind every great man there is a great woman. and several thousand enslaved/underpaid workers. and probably some imperialism. #this is 50% notes to self so i can give female characters significant roles if i ever write a rome fic #servilia and her family #jlrrt reads #roman women #susan treggiari #jlrrt essays

Hello bear! Uhm i am very sure that you do not remember me but i'm the anon who asked if you were on a caffeine high to get extremely pretty detailed drawings.

I read your explanation! Your motivation! Your thoughts on it! Your way of doing it! And i took it to heart. I really did. And you helped me, a lot. You have wonderful advice.

I was struggling to find a good artstyle and was questioning my abilities as a artist a lot so when i cam upon your blog that your artworks i was memorized, admiring, loving your art.

When i first saw your art i thought it was just cute and simple and not much about it, just another cute artstyle that is extremely pleasing to look at so i got curious so i dug into your blog more and more and more until i seen that every single one of your drawings had small details, small details that give the drawing.. more.. more to it.

Every drawing that i have seen from you so far is cute happy, funny and warm. Every single of your drawings is meant to bring a smile on peoples faces, you make your drawings for the world to see and they smile at them. I have not interacted with you that much but you are what you draw, you're funny, happy and you make someone feel comfortable and warm. I looked a lot at your drawings and it gave me motivation to continue art, to try new things and even if no one else notices the details i put in thats okay because i see it, i see the details and im happy with it. I look up to you bear, you are a very cool polar bear that i have ever known. Stay cool!

Bear no you promised *sob* not to cry *sob* when reading your asks *more sobbing*

Learn how to *le sob* accept kindness *turns into a sobbing puddle*

I do remember you 🫵❤️

I’m so glad that my art rumble was helpful, it warms my heart man ❤️💕💓

This whole message just legitimately makes me smile so hard

Seeing people getting joy from my art is such a delightful feeling

Getting messages like this just feels unreal, because you can’t really fantom the fact that you can inspire

I just 💥 drew a silly bear 💥💥 and people appreciate it 💥💥💥 aaaa?¿?💥💥💥💥

I’m incredibly delighted that my art makes you feel that way, it’s a very charming point of view

And mega happy that you also see the beauty in putting small stuff that nobody notices

You know, when people don’t notice those details, you’re just glad you put it there, but when someone finally notices them, it’s even more rewarding (it’s a win win situation ✨:D)

I wish you best of luck on your journey, stay awesome too 🫵❤️

(*gives you a little motivation cookie*🍪 that’s for later >:D)

the Odomache, one of the seven high priests of the God of Warden, in ceremonial armor. Day to day wear is slightly more practical and less purple. lore about this role below

Background: The God of Warden (has many names that would mostly translate to 'God') is the object of monotheistic worship and the official religion of Warden’s five city-states. Core dogma holds that the first man sacrificed God, and used Its body to create a world in primordial chaos. God’s soul remains bound to the world and incarnates into seven ‘faces’, understood to be aspects of the same being. Each face has at least one dedicated monastic order, under command of seven high priests. The seven are functionally the ruling body of Warden, though each city-state has its own leadership.

The Odomache is part of a martial-religious order called the Odonii, a monastic cult centered around God’s ‘lion face’. The role was historically mostly martial and religious, but the recent historical shift towards Warden as a state identity has seem the Odomache become a representation of the state, a living embodiment of its wholeness and sanctity. 

She is particularly tied to the citystate Godsmouth (and the role likely derives from earlier practices before even the formation of the state), and is its chief military commander, and presides over all military rituals to ensure success in battle.

Young girls are selected for the role from the families of ranking soldiers. They are trained for their varying roles for about a decade and care for the prides of white lions kept in the palatial gardens. After a gauntlet of tests and based on their prowess in training, a new Odomache is selected by the previous one, and the role transferred.

The triumphant Odomache then sacrifices one of her lions, in a ceremony replicating God’s sacrifice at the hands of the first human. She divides its body among the heads of the Five Nations of Warden, is painted in its blood, and wears its raw pelt in the initiatory Lion Dance ritual, where she leads the Odonii and her soldiers in a weapons dance.

Neither nudity or sex is taboo in this culture, but profound significance is placed on both (and the body as a whole). A state of nudity is understood as being metaphysically vulnerable and malleable, necessary for transformative rituals but profoundly dangerous. Sex (particularly receiving penetrative sex) is especially vulnerable. The gaze is also understood as magically potent and potentially dangerous (in the form of an ‘evil eye’ curse and related beliefs.

All this necessitates the Odomache's body to be closely guarded (the other 6 high priests have similar practices). She will only ever be seen nude during this initiatory lion dance, after which only her face, hair, hands and feet can be exposed publicly.

The penalty for seeing an Odomache’s nude body is (intended to be) death, at the hands of the Odomache herself, who will be anointed in the blood of the offender to be ritually re-consecrated. The only exception is other odonii, and her attending servants (all people designated women or eunuchs). Celibacy is similarly enforced.

As with anything, there are violations that go unchecked, but there are relatively few Odomache with known scandals throughout history, and all of these ended with their willing ritual suicide, When your body is symbolically identified with the health of the State, the People, and Literally God, the stakes are pretty high (and psychological consequences sometimes severe)

#i had a more interesting drawing i was working on that wasnt just standing facing the left but i lost a TON of art somehow #(i think i...accidentally? deleted like 50 layers without noticing it and then saved?) #i work in a very disorganized fashion and i think theres technically a chance some of its still out there (makes sense in context) but #im too tired to scour for it rn lol. im gonna make a hail mary effort tomorrow and post wht i can to patreon #THANKFULLY none of it was commissioned work but it was a bunch of blightseed stuff that was basically ready to go lol. im mad #anyway wahtever #blightseed #my stuff
