Hi!! (Happy wbw? wbt?)
Is there any funfact connected to clothing/jewellery you'd like to share? (i.e. they burn it on special occasions, wear something super unique for celebrations, have weirdly shaped jewellery, one character has weird taste or, well, anything that's fun for you!!)
And if you don't want to share that, maybe just something about clothing in general? Gotta celebrate existence of fantasy fashion!
Hello, White Rabbit. ♡ Thank you for the ask!!
Fun Fact: Veils are not common at all in Ambition, not even for weddings and most of the time not for funerals.
When Xander died, Andy got a black dress and black lace veil to symbolize her mourning for the human casualty. The veil was also to keep people from seeing her scars. In turn, the veil becomes a symbol to strike fear into the other side.

when you get a chance, thoughts on seer of space tubbo?
(i am also open to maid of space tubbo, and many others, but i am currently seer leaning)
*wakes up* oh boy time to classpect! under the readmore because seers are interesting enough that i ended up going on a tangent
of course no argument about the aspect because hes 100% a space player, ive discussed heir before i believe, so seer analysis it is, because i havent thought about it before (seers slip my mind sometimes, i love them, my brain is just the equivalent of a ground with a bunch of banana peels and cant handle having more than 4 coherent thoughts at a time).
like said with knights, he doesnt exactly try to tell anyone what he wants to come off as, sure he wants to be intimidating enough that people leave him alone, but, well. he does fit the intimidating thing, its less a facade and more a warning, he doesnt want to hurt anyone, but he will should he deem it necessary (thankfully, tubbos kind enough that he deems it unecessary in most cases). hes a bit too likely to follow through, and its bred from feeling unsafe, rather than feeling insecure. c!tubbo knows he can do things, the cc is more likely to downplay what he does than the character is (not that c!tubbo doesnt, but he does still believe in his abilities, he just doesnt think hes important enough to emphasize his impact. difference between going "oh no it was all __" and going "oh no it wasnt just me" when theres something hes done most of the work on)
so, he almost fits knight, at least in abilities, after all knights are capable and they know theyre capable, and hes very good at the exploitation aspect, pushing limitations and using them for their benefits. i could see him as maybe a knight thats actually gotten past the insecurity and facades already, if we're to consider his spy history as him being pre-actualization. being a space player doesnt really change how solid knight arcs are, so the combination of knight and space doesnt make knight much more fitting for tubbo
similarly, he does fit a few aspects of being a seer (having similar struggles, talking a shitton sometimes, sitting back and observing the world around him when he finds it beneficial to do so, generally very smart especially within their group), but not so much others (seers are often overbearingly smug in a way tubbos a bit too humble for, learning through education rather than experience, having a habit of getting too focused on their goal, and theyre overall passive, being too active is actually how they get themselves into shit, while tubbo gets hurt when hes too passive). seers of space focus more on the present than the future or past, which almost fits tubbo.. if it werent for the fact that he doesnt focus on the future or past out of repression cknsks. not that he would much anyways, but the intentional focus on the present is out of stubborness and trauma rather an actual trait of staying in the present. notably, theres quite a few times where tubbo does think about the past and future, especially when he was younger, and he does try to work towards his ideal future, he just doesnt talk about it much.
funnily enough, because of where seer falls through, he ends up being closer to the mage struggle of, well, getting their asses kicked when theyre too passive because things work out best when theyre involving themselves. mages also have that posturing thing as well, though its connected to intelligence (desperately trying to come off as smarter because they believe theyre still too dumb and naïve, even though theyre actually doing fine), so again, not exactly tubbos kind of posturing. plus, hes pissy, but not pissy enough for a mage, as theyre more likely to get caught up in how fed up they are with everything, while tubbo gets caught up in how much he still cares no matter how much he seems like he doesnt. the space aspect adds that theres.. a shitton of shit happening to and around him, which does fit, at least, and mages of space usually suffer because of their passions, knowledge, and experience, as well as they're rather hands on. again, fits, but, well.
seers and mages are a bit too focused on knowledge for the kind of person tubbo is. hes smart for sure, has a lot of knowledge, and even when hes not a spy he does want to know things and looks for that knowledge, but while he fits the goals and positives of seers (and mages), he doesnt exactly fit their flaws or what happens when theyre unhealthy. not that he needs to show signs of being unhealthy, but even healthy players still show an ability to be the unhealthy versions of their classes. he doesnt get his ass kicked for being too active and tunnel visioned like seers do (and it can sometimes come from ego trips, which tubbos very unlikely to have, even if he fits the "my solution is the most correct here, so we have to follow it" part of it all) like seers, he doesnt have any moments of just refusing to learn and complaining about how everything sucks rather than doing anything about it (nor is he likely too) like mages. he does vaguely fit where the unhealthiness of a knight can come in, propping up a shield to a ridiculous extent and lashing out when their insecurites are picked at, but that feels a bit too reckless to be tubbo (though it does fit tommy).
overall, i can kind of see seer for a slightly different version of tubbo, but it feels too passive for tubbo, if that makes sense. he is passive at least, in terms of classes anyways (note- despite how some classpectors define it, passive doesnt really mean you serve others, its not an insult, it just means you weave your aspect through others, rather than yourself. its the difference between a prince destroying x/destroying through x and a bard allowing destruction of x/inviting destruction through x. still listen to passive classes, thats what seers fall into after all, and seers are very important). its just that tubbo usually gets hurt by being too passive rather than getting hurt by being too active (not that it couldnt happen, which is why i say it could still fit under other circumstances).
speaking of passive v active, if i had to pick a passive class i feel fits tubbo the most, probably heir. active wise, id say maid does actually fit rather well. i feel like ive talked about maid tubbo before but i might be remembering a different analysis so just in case ill generally say i feel he fits the arc of going from a "doormat" to taking their life for themselves. theyre stubborn, stressed out from listening to others, like banter, occassionally silly and can start arguing in circles due to the stubborness (think that one patrick id scene, but smarter). maids are also heavy repressers, they fear being seen as weak, and are unwilling to ask for help. they rely on their environment and hate it.
and, painfully enough, some classpectors state that when pushed into being unhealthy, maids explode. maids are already intimidating on their own, being powerful and smart enough to know what to do with that power, and when they get stressed out enough, they, well, explode. they hurt everyone in one big event (think aradias actions in make her pay). its not necessarily a reckless lashing out at everyone like knights, but a giant burnout that happens to effect everyone. tubbos not at a point where it seems likely for this to happen, but i wouldnt be too surprised if something like it did happen were things to get too be too much. he is the mf with nukes after all. healthy maids are independent, with maids of space specifically, well, making space for themselves and others (sound like a certain snow commune anyone), attempting to start new lives. an independent maid, allowed to be their own person without anyone stepping on them, is a healthy maid. unfortunate for tubbo that his life fucking sucks too hard for him to really get to this point KEKW
heirs fit a similar "followed others then became more independent" arc, mostly unaware that theyre being lead around but, if whats happening aligns with their own ideals, dont really care much that theyre being a follower when they are aware of such. heirs have an instinct to stick to comfort, rather than an instinct to be independent like maids. heirs still need to find their independence and autonomy, but need to do so because they can change things, theyre also very powerful when they play correctly. however, going against what they may feel is best and is more comfortable for them can be actively painful, early heirs often would rather be comfortable and happy even if things arent going well than take the difficult route, know that theyll suffer, and temporarily risk comfort and happiness in an attempt to reach an end they dont know will be there for sure. they can deal with suffering, but choosing to stay constantly aware of this suffering hurts and they struggle with dealing with the fact that they need to be aware to stop the suffering.
heirs change by picking up on subtle details naturally, subconsciously effecting those around them, making either themself or others interact with their aspect differently (or actively not think with their own aspect, in a positive way). heirs, when self aware, want to help. thats an important detail, and its why heirs are often protagonists, they dont have the ambition to do things that only benefit themselves when they realize theyre in a position of power. at their core, heirs usually want to make things better, but learning to move on and better themselves can hurt, and it takes a lot for heirs to to let it be apart of the process.
unhealthy heirs fade. they get so stressed out by getting hurt that they shrink back into themselves, they stick with what makes them comfortable and refuse to acknowledge that they and others are hurting, wrapped up in their more selfish instincts and becoming hard and stressful to deal with. "i want everything to be okay" becomes "i dont want to deal with the idea that nothings okay right now", soon getting to "im okay and you cant tell me otherwise, fuck you if you want to take this away from me, you cant stop me but i will stop you". of course, that last one can be useful if a heir were to use it to change things for the better, but the tunnel vision on "i want to be comfortable even if im making others uncomfortable" is, well. shitty. unhealthy heirs wont actively try to hurt anyone unless pushed, but they can they can still manage to through a lack of acknowledging that they have to help. and well, that sounds somewhat like tubbo, the hurting through a lack of helping, at the very least its present in things like him not visiting tommy during exile (partially because it was safer to just not challenge dream, partially out of guilt and belief that tommy hated him)
heirs of space specifically are about flitting from project to project, learning about what interests them, impatient when others dont share their excitement, and learning when to adapt and move on from things. generally, if i had to put a scale on it, id say tubbos most likely to be a heir, then a maid, then a seer. it all depends on what aspects of him you wanna focus on, really. seer tubbo is really interesting though! i think seers are more smug than he is though, not that he doesnt have his moments, but his tendency to believe hes right isnt all too prominent compared to other traits of his, and its less from a smug "i know whats right" and more just a firm "this isnt right, i have a better idea". he wants to do whats right, but if he feels like he doesnt know whats right, hes willing to rely on others, it just.. takes him a bit of pushing to admit such

Ravenclaw Extensive Dating a Malfoy Headcanons:
Okay, so other than Ravenclaw and Slytherin I have two series with Draco and the other houses but they don’t always get the little moments so here I am adding them in as well as beginning the remaining houses. (Of course you all know how I feel about sorting but for the sake of Draco Malfoy being happy I’ll set that aside). Yes this has been done before but come on, you’re gonna read it anyway. I’ll do one for each house promise.
Tumblr media
So being ravenclaw comes with the name calling “nerd” “four eyes” “freak” “weirdo” ya know real high brow stuff
Mostly it comes from Draco and his Slytherin classmates they feel threatened, you’re smart, go figure
It’s not that you’re “smart” it’s that you want to learn especially if you’re Muggle born because WHAT DO YOU MEAN MAGIC EXISTS
So you get good. Very good. At everything. Which infuriates Draco because you surpass him in Potions
He fails a Transfiguration quiz and McGonagall asks you to help him because you’re probably the only one who won’t punch him a-la-muggle
You protest but it’s no use, and McGonagall said she’ll give you extra credit and house points so, ya know what bring it
He hates it of course, sulking the entire time, muttering about “if my father knew about this” which just makes you smile because good lord he’s ridiculous
Your tutoring sessions give you time with Draco alone and though the first few times you’re terrified and stumble over your words, you get more comfortable with him and he’s less snappy at you
He has an ambition for knowledge, you have the means to give it to him
Soon he’ll start sitting next to you in class because you’re notes make more sense to him than the professor’s do
You come to realize that “oh my stars Draco might be dyslexic like you” you don’t mention it to him because you know he’d just shut down and get aggressive but it explains why he likes your notes so much: he can actually read them
People still make fun of your for your brains and knowledge, but it starts to fade over time and unbeknownst to you, Draco began to threaten anyone who bullied you; which accidentally put you on edge because you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop
You’re reading up on the American Revolution and Wizards involvement in the war when Draco comes to you, grinning
You look up at him, nervous and expecting
He hands you his latest Charms exam
He got full marks
You’re so excited you forget yourself and hug him which leads to blushing and awkward “good job” and “thanks”
One day Harry is being Harry with Draco and “she’s only helping you because she’s getting extra credit and house points” Draco knew that but hearing it from Harry is different
You go straight to McGonagall and tell her you don’t want the credit or points anymore you don’t tell draco this, because well... you don’t know
Your study session become less laughter filled and fun... Draco seems almost too distracted to focus on anything he’s moping
You reach over one time in class and draw a smiley face on his notes while he’s sulking. When he glares at you, you offer a smile and maybe he smiles back
“Are you okay?” You write under the smiley face. “Fine.” He scrawls. “I don’t believe you”
He stares at you like you have two heads. No ones ever pressed past his “I’m fine” charade before
That night you’re studying and he comes to you and starts to talk. It starts with school but it goes on to how his family is doing and the looming war and then he finally admits that he’s not as put together as he looks and that the only friend he has is being “paid” to be with him
“Draco, I stopped getting extra credit months ago,” You finally explain what you did after what Harry said that one day and he’s just dumbfounded so maybe his only friend wasn’t being paid to be with him
You introduce him to Muggle Coffee Monsters for late night studying and occasional all nighters theyre “really really really really good” he’s practically bouncing in his seat. You wonder if he’s ever had caffeine before...
You fail a potions test. Badly. Not that you meant to but you don’t know what happened. You try everything to hold back tears because you’ve never failed before. Draco gets perfect marks and you’re just dying inside and so ashamed because you’re supposed to be smart
Draco finds out even though you try to keep it from him and he chases after you in the hall not before pleading with Snape to have you redo the exam. Snape allows it
“Just leave me alone Draco,” you snap. “Just wait!” He calls. “Leave me alone!” You pull out your wand against him and he just freezes. You realize what you’ve done and run, tears streaming down your face
You don’t talk to him in class because you’re just so confused and ashamed and sorry. He slides a note over. “You’re more than a grade,” is written in his careful script. There’s a smiley face too.
You finally peek over at him and he offers you a smile now you’re really confused
You keep that note and whenever you’re stressed or get a grade less than you wanted you read it until the paper is faded and worn from its wear.
You retake the exam you take after Draco spends the week beforehand making sure you know exactly what you’re doing
“You can do this,” He insists. “No I can’t,” you groan, hopeless. “You’re being ridiculous, come on wise girl, if I can do it so can you.” The nickname started as a taunt but now it was something that only Draco was allowed to call you
You get full marks on your retake and run to find Draco and hug him in the middle of the Great Hall with everyone watching and maybe you kiss him because he believed in you when he leads to awkward blushing and stammering apologies before he pulls you back and really kisses you
There’s a chorus of “finally”s from the surrounding students and a few cheers the whole school shipped you two and it was just frustrated to watch you two pine for another
Draco leads you to a quiet corner of the castle, your exam still in your hand as he really asks you if you want this—to be with him. He knows he’s not the best person and goes on listing why he’s a bad person and yadda yadda yadda
You tell him if you’re more than a grade he’s more than a Slytherin
You start dating
Cue blushing and nervous Draco because “I’ve never had a girlfriend what am I supposed to do? Flowers? Chocolate? Dates? Handholding?” The poor boy is a mess
“Draco, sweetheart. Calm down you’re doing fine,” you laugh one afternoon as he fumbles over asking you to hogsmeade with him. “It’s just me,” he just feels so pressured to be perfect you constantly remind him that he doesn’t have to be, not for you
You still study together but sometimes you just end up cuddling. Except on the nights you have an exam the next day or an essay due “Draco I will hex you to next week if you don’t focus”
You both aren’t sure how to be affectionate towards another. Sure you’ve read books and he’s seen other do it but you two are so bad at just talking without stammering or blushing
So you start writing down how you feel and what you want to do and what you’re comfortable with, and he’ll respond and you two actually get somewhere because you’re communicating it’s not “the norm” but at least you’re communicating
Reading books under trees; late nights in the library; sitting together in class; holding hands in the halls; “wise girl” and “pretty boy”
Your friends are happy to see that your happy and can appreciate Dracos ambition for knowledge and that you both are a bit competitive when it comes to grades
His friends are a bit cold and distant and snappy sometimes, but you don’t mind much, you know it’s not a commonality for Slytherin to date outside of House
Draco spoils you at every turn. “You looked at this book in the shop so I got it signed by the author for you” / “you said you wanted this quill once... so here” / “I will never understand Muggle stores but I picked up more Oreos and Monsters” / “I saw this necklace and it reminded me of you so I bought it” / “you lost your other scarf so I got you this new one. It’s unicorn silk” / “here, this bag is enchanted so you can carry all of the books you want and not have to carry the weight”
You love him a little more with each thing he gets you because they’re the most bizarre things that you didn’t know you wanted but somehow he did. He’s like a bird “I saw this shiny rock and wanted you to have it”
Your parents adore him. They were a bit wary about you dating a Malfoy/Slytherin but he spends one afternoon and dinner with your family and they’re completely smitten and tell him to come back any time especially when they hear about getting you that retake exam
His parents are a bit more reserved towards you. Until Narcissa sees Draco smiling at you as you talk about the history of something he really couldn’t care less about but you’re so excited he can’t help but stare and she sees your wisdom and ambition and wonders if the Sorting Hat made the right call about you
Lucius doesn’t talk down to you not that he talked much at all to you but when you ask him more about his job at the ministry/his peacock/family history/possible Veela descent he’s absolutely taken with you because you remind him of a young Narcissa especially when you snip right back at Draco. Lucius chokes on his drink when he hears you call Draco “pretty boy” and Narcissa grins at him because that’s her nickname for him
When Draco takes the Dark Mark you can bet your Galleons your spending every night looking into Dark Magic and how it works to truly understand what’s happening. You feel less panicked when you know what’s going on good or bad and you help Draco understand too
Which means you’re talking to Snape a bit more. Not to use the magic, but you want to know. You don’t want Draco to feel like he’s alone in all of it. You find spells that make the Mark burn less and affect his thoughts/mood less
When Draco starts to slip behind on grades again during Sixth Year, you go back to tutoring him, with gentle encouraging words and soft promises that he can do it
After the war you encourage him to come back to school and finish and though he’s terrified to face anyone his ambition for knowledge is still there and you’ve become a lot more terrifying since learning dark magic that people back off when they see you

More than ‘mom-in-chief’: Michelle Obama bows out as dynamic first lady
Obamas commitment to childrens health and education remained steadfast in the past eight years as she transformed into an impassioned political figure
With rends in her sees and her articulation cracking with spirit, the self-declared mom-in-chief stepped off the public stage on Friday with her final communication as first lady, advising young Americans to believe in the strength of hope.
Michelle Obama, who began her White House times engaging the generally soft themes that have often limited the brides of chairmen, ended with a clarion call for diversification and vowing to make it her lifes work to help disadvantaged children get to college, a personal mission that has its roots in her own Chicago childhood.
In a profoundly psychological thinking on what lies ahead for the US in the era of President Donald Trump, she transported a clear message to young people to rise above discord, exasperation and bigotry , no matter what they look like, their background or religion.
My final meaning to young people as first lady is simple-minded. I miss our young people to know that they matter, that they belong … Dont be afraid, be focused. Be measured. Be hopeful. Be empowered. Entitle yourself with a good education … then build a country worthy of your boundless promise.
The sign-off in the East Room of the White House ended with her being engulfed in hugs from academy counsellors from across the US whom she celebrated for the crucial support they be provided to students in their darkest moments.
It was also a moment to tag the eight-year pilgrimage she has made to become an impassioned political figure in her own privilege. She has never stood for role, but there were eras in the final weeks of the US election campaign when it seemed possible that she could run for chairperson and win.
She had taken the fight to Donald Trump, telling a Hillary Clinton rally in New Hampshire that his boasts about sexually assaulting maidens had shaken her to her core. This is not ordinary. This is not politics as usual. This is disgraceful. It is unbearable, she said in a speech which uncovered a toughness and an ability to connect with an gathering to rival her “husbands ” gifts.
Speaking in Philadelphia from the same programme as Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, she emerged as the real virtuoso of the Democratic assembly, moving the gathering to snaps as she spoke about the possibility of setting up the first girl chairwoman, and her own familys outing from slavery to the White House.
Drawing powerfully on her own family history her great-great-grandfather lived as a slave she spoke of the histories of generations of people who experienced the flog of servitude, the reproach of servitude, the bite of discrimination, but who hindered on endeavour and hoping and doing what are required to be said and done that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.
And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their hounds on the White House lawn.
Ever since Martha Washington deplored that she felt like a commonwealth captive, the role of the first lady “ve always been” seen as a holding one, where gentility comes firstly and controversy is better avoided.
And Michelle Obamas White House times inaugurated commonly as a self-styled mom-in-chief, with two daughters aged 10 and seven, advocating a healthy-living agenda.
She altered a far area of the White House floors into a vegetable plot and accompanied children from some of Washingtons poorest schools to help her bush broccoli. She too fascinating with her flippant willingness to droop convention joining in with an Evolution of Mom Dancingroutine on the talkshow Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, to promote her Lets Move fitness push and later, getting in the fare bench for Carpool Karaoke with James Corden to promote her Let Girls Learn global education campaign.

If some felt disappointed by the gentle topics she adopted initially, it became clear there was a golden yarn moving through her efforts as she began to focus on more substantial a matter that manifested her own childhood growing up in Chicago.
She connected the discussions on artillery brutality after the death in 2013 of Hadiya Pendleton, the Chicago teenager who was killed by a stray missile periods after she returned home from taking part in the presidents induction fetes with her high school marching band.
Speaking later that year in Chicago, Obama said her operation and her anger lay in ensuring the health and improvement and success of young people in this city.
Describing her own childhood, she said: Back then, our parents knew that if they loved and encouraged us, if they deterred us off the street and out of bother, then united be OK. They knew that if they did everything right, wed have a chance.
But today, for too many households and children in this city, thats plainly no longer the lawsuit. Today, too many boys in this city are living just a few stops, sometimes even just a few blockages, from lustrous skyscrapers and leafy commons and world-class museums and universities, yet all of that might as well be in a different government, even in a different continent.
Because instead of spending their days enjoying the abundance of riches this city has to offer, they are downed with watching their backs. Theyre afraid to walk alone, because they might get jumped. Theyre afraid to walk in groups, because that is likely to identify them as part of a mob and introduce them at risk.
She said: Hadiyas family did everything right, but she still didnt have a chance. And that floor the story of Hadiyas life and death we read that narration day in day out, month after month, year after year in this city and around this country.
The Reach Higher initiative she has endorse aims to invigorate every student to carry on past high school building on the health start she promoted, by creating conditions for girls to get to college, and then find foundation on campus be used to help succeed.
She was still Michelle Robinson, daughter of a secretary and a spout craftsman at a Chicago water company, when her schoolteachers told her that she was aiming too high by setting her spates on Princeton, the Ivy League university. But she made it, and was just going Harvard Law School very, although as she said years thereafter: I still hear that disbelieve ringing in my head.

The commencement addresses she has delivered each year at college graduation ceremonies during her era at the White House have experienced her turn to her own personal skirmishes, including the death of her father, to oblige home the message that education is the single biggest move of success for young person. She told Virginia Tech students: I came to realize that best available space in order to be allowed to reputation my papas life was by how I lived my own life. I realized that the best way to fill the hole he had left was to do for other young person what he had done for me. So I left that fancy principle conglomerate, and I wound up eventually running a nonprofit organization that studied young people for jobs in public service.
She has taken her aspirational word to young girls in various regions of the world including students from an inner-city school in London, some of whom extended with her on a fact-finding mission to Oxford University and were later accredited to participate in the White House. We are counting on you, we are counting on every single one of you to be the best that you can be, she told their school meeting.
If Barack Obamas presidential bequest hangs in the balance with the commencement of the Trump administration, it is possible that as a family, the Obamas have achieved something of lasting meaning which cannot be erased. They have shown young African Americans that they extremely can have ambition and success.
Rictor Craig was a school principal at Friendship Woodbridge elementary and middle school in one of the poorest wards of Washington when some of his intellectuals were invited to help Michelle Obama plant her White House kitchen garden in 2014.
Now director of academics at the nine institutions of Friendship Woodbridge, he said the visit and the simple-minded happening that the Obamas acquired it to the White House had a transformative accomplish on pupils.
Ultimately it allowed my kids to see that they have a possibility, that people who look like them, that they are able to relate to, can one day aspire to get into the White House.
Seeing Michelle Obama and the first family in the White House actually motivated our academics because they know that both the mothers are college trained, they know that Malia and Sasha are going to college and these are things that they get to see on a daily basis, that they can then liken to their own fib. Its huge.
Michelle Obama it seems, never will run for power. If I were interested in it, Id say it, she told Oprah Winfrey in her large-scale exit interrogation last month. People dont genuinely understand how hard this is. And its not something that you cavalierly just sort of ask a family to do again.
But as she tried in vain to wave away her tears at the end of her last-place pronunciation, she made clear that his efforts to get children a better start and a great education will remain her lifes production. I will be with you, springing for you for the rest of my life.

More than ‘mom-in-chief’: Michelle Obama bows out as dynamic first lady
Obamas commitment to childrens health and education remained steadfast in the past eight years as she transformed into an impassioned political figure
With rends in her sees and her articulation cracking with spirit, the self-declared mom-in-chief stepped off the public stage on Friday with her final communication as first lady, advising young Americans to believe in the strength of hope.
Michelle Obama, who began her White House times engaging the generally soft themes that have often limited the brides of chairmen, ended with a clarion call for diversification and vowing to make it her lifes work to help disadvantaged children get to college, a personal mission that has its roots in her own Chicago childhood.
In a profoundly psychological thinking on what lies ahead for the US in the era of President Donald Trump, she transported a clear message to young people to rise above discord, exasperation and bigotry , no matter what they look like, their background or religion.
My final meaning to young people as first lady is simple-minded. I miss our young people to know that they matter, that they belong … Dont be afraid, be focused. Be measured. Be hopeful. Be empowered. Entitle yourself with a good education … then build a country worthy of your boundless promise.
The sign-off in the East Room of the White House ended with her being engulfed in hugs from academy counsellors from across the US whom she celebrated for the crucial support they be provided to students in their darkest moments.
It was also a moment to tag the eight-year pilgrimage she has made to become an impassioned political figure in her own privilege. She has never stood for role, but there were eras in the final weeks of the US election campaign when it seemed possible that she could run for chairperson and win.
She had taken the fight to Donald Trump, telling a Hillary Clinton rally in New Hampshire that his boasts about sexually assaulting maidens had shaken her to her core. This is not ordinary. This is not politics as usual. This is disgraceful. It is unbearable, she said in a speech which uncovered a toughness and an ability to connect with an gathering to rival her “husbands ” gifts.
