Naut everyfin is what it seams! Jane made me kill my ancestor. 38/
Wow! U)(m. T)(at was a LOT. 38) Apparently t)(e --Erifin of my timeline )(as officially declared )(imself t)(e voice of “true )(ig)(blood masculinity” and )(as begun rallying purplebloods, violetbloods, assorted angry seadwellers, and at least t)(ree deeply divorced goldblood p)(ilosop)(ers into some kind of )(IG)(BLOOD R-EVOLT against t)(e t)(rone. W)(ic)( is )(onestly extremely embarrassing for everyone involved. From w)(at I understand, )(is movement mostly consists of furious speec)(es about degeneracy, women ruining civilization, lowblood contamination of culture, and )(ow t)(e empire )(as become “feminized” under my rule. W)(ic)( is V-ERY funny considering )(e spends )(alf )(is time writing t)(ousand-word manifestos about women in skintig)(t wetsuits. But besides t)(at! I guess I )(ave to formally declare )(im a rebel against t)(e empire now. So. By t)(e aut)(ority vested in me as )(er Imperial W)(atever-I'm-Calling-Myself-Today, I )(ereby condemn --Erifin and )(is weird little angry fis)( cult as enemies of t)(e crown. All military officers loyal to t)(e t)(rone are ordered to suppress t)(e uprising immediately. Preferably before )(e discovers podcasts. I do not know )(OW t)(is )(appened. I do not know W)(Y )(ig)(blood males keep turning t)(eir unresolved romantic failures into political extremism. And I -ESP-ECIALLY do not know w)(y so many of t)(em keep describing t)(emselves as “wolves” despite living underwater. But I WILL )(andle it. Some)(ow. Gos)(. 38(
38( My C)(itizens! Tell me, if you're on Alternia, w)(at you worst experience wit)( a )(ig)(blood is! 38/ -Erifin is saying t)(at )(ig)(bloods go easy on lowbloods! 38\ )(oping to get anecdotes to support t)(e already plentiful statistics of wanton cruelty! )(oping to appeel to )(is seanses!
FIRST ROYAL D-ECR-E-E OF )(-ER IN-EVITABL-E COMMUNION, -EMPR-ESS F-EF-ERI P-EIX-ES By t)(e aut)(ority of t)(e t)(rone and under t)(e endless gaze of Alternia’s sacred seas, I issue my first decree as -Empress. Let it be known across every )(ive, trenc)(, battles)(ip, and imperial corridor t)(at loyalty to t)(e crown is no longer to be measured solely t)(roug)( fear. Fear is easy. Any brute wit)( a weapon can inspire fear. I require devotion. From t)(is moment onward, all members of t)(e imperial court, military officials, and noble )(ouses seaking favor beneat)( t)(e t)(rone must present t)(emselves openly and swear personal allegiance before t)(e -Empress )(erself. No more )(idden knives be)(ind re)(earsed smiles. No more )(ollow obedience offered only out of survival. If you serve me, you will say so proudly. If you disobey me, you will fall in line. Furt)(ermore, t)(e needless execution of lowblood subjects for minor insolence, entertainment, or decorative punis)(ment is to be reduced under crown scrutiny. Cullings will remain a necessity of Alternian order, but wastefulness weakens t)(e empire. A living worker is often more useful t)(an a dead one staining palace tiles. Do not mistake mercy for softness. I did not ascend t)(is t)(rone by being weak. T)(e former -Empress rotted in silence w)(ile t)(e empire )(eld its breat)( around )(er sleeping corpse. I ended t)(at silence. I claimed t)(e future wit)( my own )(ands. Now Alternia belongs to a new tide. Serve well, and you may flouris)( beneat)( it. Resist, and t)(e sea will take you. 38D
