why aunt becomes empress when male heirs were still alive?

If there is not an official successor to the Empire, then Imperial Order of Succession is determined by the Proximity of Blood then Seniority to the ruling Sovereign. It is not Primogeniture. There is an unsaid preference for a male ruler, but it is not a definite factor.

So in this case, Maeve does take precedence over Eirik and the Vagnyrs as she was the daughter of the ruling Sovereign.

I like to think to think the Empire is pragmatic enough to not be held down by the order of succession and see it more as a guideline of who is a potential candidates for the throne. Above all else the Empire prioritize seniority, experience and capability when deciding their ruler.

It also make things messy in our current succession crisis :)

TW: bullying, manipulation, a little bit of slut shaming ig??, power play, power imbalance, age gap (with Optimus, but of course everyone in this story is over 18)

OKOK SO . Picture this . Bee is the jock right? While the reader is, of course, timid and sweet, a little bit of antisocial... Doesn't help the fact that she recently changed school, so she doesn't know anyone, poor soul :((

That's what made her become an easy target for Bee... He found her cute, don't get me wrong, but he doesn't know how to express his feelings in a healthy way, so of course he had to start tormenting her!! And him, being as popular as he is for being an athlete, caused other students to pick on her too from time to time.

Poor girl was desperate because no one was helping her, and everyday became a nightmare for her...

That was until Mirage (the goth everyone fears) took pity in her (and maybe he also felt something for her??) So he started acting like her knight in a shiny armour, defending her from the bullies and Bee <3

Reader found comfort in Mirage. Yes, at times, he was a bit scary, but he looked after her and protected her!! So he was a good person after all, right? (He wasn't...)

This caused the two men to become enemies... Bee knew how fucked up Mirage actually was, so he tried to warn the reader about him in *his own typical ways*...

Mirage discovered this, and he started a physical fight with Bee. So certainly, the principal (Optimus) had to intervene and called the two men and the reader in his office... Why also the reader? Of course, because they were fighting for her!! So that definitely meant that the reader had some... promiscuous... attitudes. And not definitely, because also the principal set his eyes on that poor, sweet girl. Maybe if he played his cards right, he could get her...

Now, the poor reader found herself in a compromised position... Who could she thrust?

(For extra spice, the reader can be really dense and doesn't understand that those 3 men are making advances on her <3)

(Sorry if it's too long but I got carried away by my thoughts OWBOAB)

THIS.

THIS

THIS!!!

Ohhhh my god... I'm like- Omgosh I'm totally obsessed with this oh my god... Holy shit I can't even express how much I absolutely ADORE this to the moon and back holy fucking shit.

Holy shit and like, what if Optimus sees any form of bullying whatsoever revolving reader, so he calls her to his office to just- CONTINUE the bullying basically, and like- Holy shit but like- Wait wait wait hear me out I'm gonna break down wait hold on-

What if Optimus ends up altering her grades somehow, and he calls her in for that to tell her that she use to be, "Such a good student. Is the bullying getting to your head, little lady? Perhaps I should arrange for you to switch schools again." And reader TOTALLY freaks out, her parents would kill her if they found out she was getting harassed at school again. It's bad enough she was already considered the class dipshit in two other schools, but now in this supposed private, high-class, expensive school? They're gonna fucking beat her ass!

No no no, this can't possibly happen. Not now. Not ever! She has to make it right somehow.

She tells Optimus, "I'm doing everything I possibly can! No, sir, the bullying isn't getting to me, I-I mean it is! But- not that much! I can fix this, right? I'll do better, I promise! I-I can't switch schools, not again. My parents would kill me. Whatever it is I have to do, I'll do it! I-I just can't go through that-"

He puts up a hand to stop her from going on one of her many, many, pointless, absolutely useless rants to save her ass again. "If you are that desperate to keep your presence in this school, then you need to do better. From now on, you will see me after class to discuss and go over your work." This wasn't a request, this was a commandment from him. He wasn't asking at this point. Jesus, how far did she really dig her hole this time?

So she starts seeing him after class. The usual, the normal everyday tutor at first. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just how you would expect an average teacher to act. But... Things are getting weirder... He starts telling her to sit closer to him each day, he starts leaning over to her side more, the occasional hand on the knee goes up more and more by the day... This all has to be normal, right? She's as virgin as they get, she doesn't know any better. Oh, that poor, poor innocent girl. She just doesn't know what's bad and good for her, now does she?

Maybe if she allows him to get closer, allows him to touch her in such a way, her grade will surely go up and the bullying will stop from him, right? Oh, how wrong she could be didn't seem to phase her...

She knows now that even with the all-seeing eye that is Optimus, the principal of all people, has the power to over take her grades, she feels helpless. Perhaps talking to Mirage again wouldn't hurt, right? She feels comfortable with him. He makes her happy.

Mirage would notice she's struggling to focus after class. Maybe they're hanging out at a gas station in his Porche, something that totally baffles her as to how he managed to get at the ripe age of only just being able to smoke. He would inquire her about Optimus, and why she's been seeing him so often.

She would go on a nervous, shy rant about how his hands on her, how it makes her uncomfortable...

"He touches you... Like this?" He would ask, his hand getting creepily close to her upper inner thigh. She would stare down at it like her life depended on it, confused why this was now happening with her one and only friend.

Okay... If Optimus and Mirage are a no-go for safety... Jesus, does she have to result to BumbleBee now?!

She doesn't know if it's right to flat-out tell BumbleBee about these things, it happened with Mirage, what would make him different? Especially because he's such a dick to her.

She remembers BumbleBee getting physical with Mirage over her, she didn't know how to feel about it. Maybe he's not as bad of a guy as she thinks he is?

How many times can a woman be wrong in only two months?

When she first confesses to BumbleBee why she finally came to him after so long of avoiding him, he is enraged. He doesn't know what to do with his anger. It's not like he can beat the shit out of the principal, let alone get a good enough lawyer to pumble Mirage.

His first response is anger, of course, but what if it's not totally directed at the males? What if he feels she is somewhat responsible for it as well?

Just stick up for yourself i-d-i-o-t! He would say. She would be panicked, he was pacing back and force in the men's empty locker room that he invited her into. Come on, he's the prized jock of the school, getting in trouble for bringing a girl somewhere private is the least of his worries.

He doesn't understand why she doesn't just tell them no. He's always so good at fighting back to anything and everything... So... Why doesn't he teach her how to fight back?

This is the best idea ever! He could just come onto her and she would learn through that!

Oh but... What if it goes too far? His precious little, idiot, stupid, dumbass virgin girl he's infatuated with can't possibly fight him back. He's simply too strong! But that's what she needs, isn't it? That's how she needs to learn her way to be strong like him... Right?

Oh God, time to add another tally to the list of things she can be wrong about.

It’s funny to me that being obsessed with other speedsters and jealous of the ones you consider a mentor is normal speedster behavior but Eobard just takes it Too Far.

He really really really does.

It's interesting because Wally and Eobard are such clear parallels to each other in that regard. I know I've written that particular thesis and essay but I'm not sure if I've ever posted it.

John Fox is also an extremely fascinating example of this as well. What's interesting with Fox though isn't his parallel to Eobard but rather the comparison between how Barry handled Eobard and how Wally handled Fox. Again, I know I've written this one but I don't think I've posted it.

If I have time tomorrow I might rehash these ones because I found them extremely interesting. Especially the case of John Fox. Waid did an excellent job at mirroring Barry and Eobard with Wally and Fox to show how different Wally and Barry are as people.

there is a very lighthearted Drama going on rn between our nurse and one of the doctors in the office which involves the doctor constantly sneaking out at the end of the day bc she knows the nurse is about to give her more work to do and while i instantly thought of the cat king sneaking away from natori’s line of sight when he’s distracted i soon after realized this whole situation is more reminiscent of ama trying to get aelius to Do His Work

Will Mama and Yinu in the FRAU ever get along? (Or without Mama getting sick, will their relationship stay sour?)

I honestly don't know. I see Yinu as the type to never truly give up on her family. She would get away from Mama but never fully cut her off. She might go a year or two without talking to her, but eventually she would come back around (unlike OG Neon who fully cut his parents out of his life and what the FRAU Sayu Crew will do once they turn adults).

Thankfully those years apart would probably snap Mama back to reality, so it's not like a situation where Yinu is going back to an abusive relationship. Though I also see Yinu being able to stand up for herself and articulate her feelings to her mother once she is an adult and after spending time away from Mama.

So yeas, I can see them getting along later in life, whether there is a health scare or not. But their relationship will never be as strong as it could have been.
