day one of talking about women;

first up is Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke

if you don’t know who she is

She is the youngest MP in New Zealand and represents Te Pāti Māori in the Parliament.

She gained national attention while speaking against a horrible bill

Her latest haka was heard all over and is not her first haka in parliament

Having so much passion on behalf of your people is what everyone should aspire to do



love Māori woman

Love Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke

The maori

[nonasemporium]

points at how john interacts with, talks about, and even resurrected g1deon

points at how john engages with augustine in comparison to both g1deon and mercy (will get more into in just a second)

points at how ianthe sought power in her relationship to john by shifting to a more masculine presentation, when before she had a relatively feminine presentation

points at how john seems to take some extra joy out of both shaping alecto into the appearance of a white woman and also how he seems to feel a very specific facet of power in how he engages with mercy, who is also presumably a white woman

points at the concept that if pyrrha WAS a white woman there's a very specific exchange in how john perceives and engages with her relationship to g1deon

points at how cavaliers are repeatedly referred to, in some way, as largely darker in skin-tone than the necromancers AND how they're constantly described with/compared to beasts in some sense

points at how john is fixated on the roman empire and also catholocism

points at actual catholicism (and the history it has with race and colorism)

now.

is it hard to see how colorism is also a possible read into his character
