been thinking about alpha feferi and her ruling over beforus, especially in contrast to how condesce ruled alternia. like, beta meenah kept her iron grip over her citizens largely because of the existance of gl'bgolyb. cant do much against her if she can wipe the entirety of troll society with one command given to her lusus. however, gl'bgolyb was a "gift" given to her by doc scratch in the post-scratch timeline, so alpha feferi didnt have that ace in her sleeve avaliable.

wondering how this all turned out. she probably didnt have as much to say in how beforus was actually ran. beta meenah couldnt give less of a shit, tossing the responsibility of governing to the largely male upper castes and going to wreck havoc in space away from all that boring political mess, but i imagine beta feferi wouldve wanted to be much more proactive in managing her citizens. maybe she started bright-eyed and ready to flip how things were ran on beforus, but her ideas were quickly twisted and mangled into something much more nefarious that would benefit only the highbloods? sure, she had her longevity as a fuchsia, but how much her lone voice could actually accomplish against thousands of governing highbloods, who also lived long lives? i dunno, thinking about it makes me feel kind of sad

#feferi peixes #it also ties into the patrialchal governing of beforus #sure she was the empress but she was vastly outnumbered against the largely male dominated higher castes #hard to change the society when the old rules are so ingrained into it #and also protected by those who were meant to listen to your judgement #its. ughh. poor fef #the new culling method she proposed still was largely flawed but it also didnt help that those who enforced it probably changed it #for their own gain
