remember how Alicent rushed at Aegon after the incident with the eye, accusing him of not keeping track of Aemond? just imagine a parallel where, at the bedside of Aegon, whose life hangs in the balance, Alicent, in a fit of weakness and fear, with tears in her eyes, grabs Aemond by the shirtfront and shakes him, accusing asking him why he did not protect his brother.

Chakotay moved swiftly past him, stopping just short of Janeway and taking her hands in his. She offered him a tight smile and nod, which he returned before guiding her gently back to stand beside him and Mattings.

Wanted to draw the reunion they have in Atonement when Chakotay saves Kathryn from her trial in front of the Kinara. :)

Little collaby with @maliciousalice. She fixed my original drawing and then I colored.

Alicent may not be the best mother but she will literally use her entire body to shield her children from danger, willing to take the brunt of it herself. It doesn’t matter how old they are or if it’s a dragon or an angry mob. Alicent will give her life for her children in an instant.

aegon: aemond, did you drink my fucking wine? aemond: if i say yes, what's going to happen? aegon: i'll bash your face in. aemond, looking behind him: can you say it again, for the people in the back? aegon: I SAID I'M GOING TO BASH YOUR FUCKING FACE IN- alicent, materializing in front of aemond: aegon, i know you aren't out here threatening my baby. aegon: but mother, he drank my wine! alicent, who has not touched alcohol in a decade: i drank it. come bash my face in. aegon, throwing up his hands: well i'm not going to do it to you- alicent: that's what i thought.

Alicent, exhausted, being forced to present her son to Viserys, panic in her eyes, hoping he is good enough for her husband:

This might be controversial, but I've never had this idea of Britannia as being a particularly warm maternal figure. Like, I think she definitely loved her kids, but she was more concerned with their survival than with letting them be children if that makes sense. Her way of showing love was trying her damndest to protect them, and to make sure they could survive on their own after she was gone. It was less explicit "I love you"'s and more compliments on their progress or stern scoldings when they'd gotten themselves into danger. The British Isles Siblings are hard pressed to remember the last time their mother hugged them or sang to them, but they remember her pressing a blade into their hands, kissing their foreheads, and telling them to be brave. They know their worth because of her, but what tenderness they gained they learned elsewhere.

UNSPEAKABLE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST BLOOD SUPREMACY

Neville Prewett (49), a highly respected Unspeakable within the Department of Mysteries, has publicly spoken out to advocate for greater rights and protections for muggles, as well as witches and wizards born to muggle parents (muggle-borns). In a letter penned exclusively for the Daily Prophet, Prewett warns of what he describes as 'an increased and harmful focus on blood purity' and calls for the magical community to confront the growing prejudices festering in our midst. 'The consequences of division and hatred are clear,' Prewett writes, urging the magical community to stand united against what he calls 'an ideology of supremacy that threatens the very fabric of our society.'

While many within the Ministry of Magic have declined to comment on their colleague’s letter, one unnamed source described Prewett as 'a man whose words deserve careful consideration'. Others, however, have criticised his stance, dismissing his warnings as 'sensationalist rhetoric.'

For the full text of Neville Prewett’s letter, turn to pages 7 and 8.

Conference Paper: ‘Maternal Bodies: Individual, Collective, Other’, The Maternal Bodies Network Symposium

Paper: ‘Hardly a Heavenly Body: Alice Neel’s ‘Degenerate Madonna’ and the Antibeauty of Maternal Labour’ 

20-minute presentation at the ‘Maternal Bodies: Individual, Collective, Other’ Symposium on June 15, 2023, at the University of Birmingham.

Abstract:

During a severe mental breakdown triggered by child loss in 1931, American artist Alice Neel (1900–1984) painted 'Degenerate Madonna', a bleak study of maternal labour. Seated barefoot before a blood-red wall, the painting’s weary subject—the visual antithesis of the Virgo Lactans (‘Nursing Virgin’) of the Middle Ages—unsuccessfully attempts to breastfeed a pallid child propped on her lap. Contemporary analyses of 'Degenerate Madonna' obsessively gravitate toward the unidealised appearance of the figure’s exposed breasts, which scholars and critics have described as ‘witchy teats’, ‘serpents’, ‘bloody daggers’, and ‘far from nurturant or charming . . . like bells, announcing death, pointy, empty’.

While such dehumanising descriptors align with the haunting nature of the painting, they perpetuate harmful false equivocations about maternal labour and, as a result, construct ‘ordinary’ childbearing bodies as inadequate. This limited scope also overlooks the artist’s possible intentions and plausible inspirations, which are seldom considered in the context of 'Degenerate Madonna'. Using case studies, this paper explores these factors, which include: Leftist ideologies and New Deal art; the artist’s encounters with non-Western sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and, most significantly, Neel’s complicated views on both childbearing and childrearing.

With these models in mind, one may begin to consider that the 'degenerate' mother’s breasts are not ‘witchy’, serpentine, or lethal; they are simply an unidealised interpretation of the maternal body. As such, the supposed ‘emptiness’ of the figure’s breasts does not necessarily denote a mother who is ‘far from nurturant’; it could, rather, signify the ‘antibeauty’—a term coined by Linda Nochlin in 2006—of a mother who has given so much to her infant that she has nothing more to offer. If this is the case—that Neel’s ‘degenerate’ mother desires to sustain her child but can’t— then what makes the figure ‘degenerate’?

Notes

Due to overlap in UV map the accessories and shoes can have shiny lighting in CAS but are completely fine in Live Mode.

The Misty Hats can clip with certain hairstyles.

Misty Hat's transparency looks solid initially loading it into CAS due to shader - it looks like the preview in Live Mode. [!!]
