My Roman Empire is the way Emma and Regina were so clearly made for each other and that them falling in love would have made an incredible/influential storyline, but the writers were so afraid of success and good writing that they decided to turn two independent, powerful women into damsels in distress who base their happiness on the presence of men. And they did this for the sole purpose of proving to SQ shippers that Emma and Regina were straight.

I don't know why I delayed posting these for so long, but here are the twinning photos in Mille Rose with @fannyrosie 🌹

vkeiprincesse and I went for a house visit back in May, and we had a light afternoon meal with cold tea and lots of delicious cheese! And the lovely Madame Bissonnette was there❤️

Fanny's coord breakdown is here. My coord is much the same, except the underskirt is Mary Magdalene, hair comb Henriette (Japanese indie brand), and our shoes are Fluevog.

Meanwhile there's tons of stories that DO treat the beliefs of the locals and natives of any area as phony mumbo jumbo and only Our Facts And Logic Civilized Science can solve. Including Dracula retellings (the Voyage of the Demeter does this for example).

The consequences of colonization, xenophobia, and racism has been disastrous to humanity.

I didn't know about that part of the voyage of the Demeter, I didn't watch it after all. However, I would like to know what excuse did the writers pulled this time; considering that the whole thing of the Demeter is how the only person who has the knowledge to stop Dracula from murdering everyone aboard is the romanian first mate. Who doesn't do it because:

a) His fear of the monster who has been terrorizing his home for centuries.

b) The very real fear of his crewmates dismissing his knowledge as paranoid superstitions, which actually happens after the first mate threw himself into the sea, by his own captain!

Which ends up with the captain lamenting that he didn't do enough to stop the massacre, but still makes an effort to stop Dracula himself from controlling the whole ship by tying a rosary to the steering wheel with his hands. Again, putting the faith on a holy object that for the victorian audiences would have been an idolatrous act. Subverting the expectations around the faith put on modern science, and deconstructing xenophobic beliefs of the characters despite Dracula having xenophobia within the narrative.

Easy to understand, no? So, it's truly ironic how the bar regarding the respect of native cultural folklore based on knowledge is on the ground, and there are still stories tripping on it. If an old orientalist book like Dracula managed to put respect on the cultural beliefs of locals of Transylvania in the writing, and an author in 2024 (with all of the knowledge available right now) decides that any beliefs in the real setting of whatever book they are writing do not matter, or worse are there to elevate the Facts And Logic Civilized Science, then... The past never left us at all.

Day 25: I HATE the hair on Mille's elite, she should've gotten this instead!!!!!

Also she's wearing a thin dress or nightgown, like one of those horror movie villain girls, and is levitating slightly off the ground for some reason. The F-NATT mines look more like vials of a potion. Her eyes are glowing blue. Bullets ricochet off her.

Or actually maybe something like this:
