Naut everyfin is what it seams! Jane made me kill my ancestor. 38/
)(ello! Or, S)(ello! 38) I know I've been kind of silent lately. Boat, I )(ave been busy! No royal proclamation. W)(y? I'm naut -Empress anymore! T)(ank Cod! I turned my power over to an electoral Senanemonate. I mean. Senate. T)(is is because me and @royalVizier got t)(e p)(aser working! I'm leading a team from my -Empire out to t)(e neig)(boring universe! T)(e initial scout reported a planet-wide droug)(t!
Intriguing, would you mind going into depth on how you've managed to make such a transition from absolutism to a proper Senate?
Please, Indulge me. As an Emperor who's slowly making his own slower, gradual reform of my Alternia, to accomplish such seems almost like a pipe-dream, yet you've managed to achieve it. I'm open fins.
It was a lot less graceful t)(an just me announcing a Senate and everybubbly agreeing! First, I turned all of t)(e Coral Court’s little advisory councils into one provisional assembly. -Every major trenc)(, colony, fleet district, caste community, and labor corps was allowed to send representatives. Some elected t)(em! Some drew lots! T)(e assembly wrote a c)(arter separating t)(e treasury, courts, fleets, and lawmaking powers. T)(e Senate controls laws and spending. T)(e courts can overturn illegal acts. T)(e admirals answer to a civilian committee instead of w)(ic)(ever )(ig)(blood lays claim. T)(ere is also an emergency executive office, boat its powers expire after t)(irty days unless t)(e Senate votes to extend t)(em. @royalVizier )(elped wit)( t)(e wording! )(e was very insistent about expiration clauses. And succession procedures. And exactly w)(ic)( senators could never, under any circumstances, be placed alone in a room wit)( t)(e fleet codes. Strangely, every name on t)(at list later attempted somet)(ing awful. )(e )(as suc)( good intuition! T)(en, we )(eld elections under an independent commission t)(at I sourced t)(roug)( C)(ittr! Candidates )(ad to disclose t)(eir property, private armies, financial backers, and immediate plans for treason. T)(e last one was not originally on t)(e form, boat it saved us a surprising amount of time! T)(e military swore loyalty to t)(e c)(arter instead of me, t)(e Senate ratified my transfer of power, and I dismissed t)(e old Imperial cabinet. I am tec)(nically still allowed to advise t)(em, boat I cannot issue laws, collect taxes, appoint senators, or order cullings. @royalVizier was retained as a non-voting Continuity Advisor, w)(ic)( means )(e )(as access to every office and document, boat no actual power! So, yes! A proper Senate! Probubbly! 38D Also. T)(is didn't just )(appen over lig)(t! I know it seams I'm keeping you all informed relatively quickly, but it's been about t)(ree sweeps since I started using C)(ittr, and about two sweeps since I executed -Eridan for )(is initial )(ig)(blood Uprising. I know it sounds silly, but if it weren't for )(is uprising kneecapping most )(ig)(er castes of interest t)(at joined )(is little ensemble, it wouldn't )(ave been possible! I )(ave )(im to tank, I guess. #Violence #PoliticalViolence #Deat)(
i Will keep this of note for the future, see how I can apply these policies in the future. Currently, If you've read the pinned post on my own. I've been utilizing different 'verbiage' as to disguise empathy as 'Optimization' and 'Efficiency' I've been trying to work around the deeply rooted caste system and how to make something 'Healthier' around it, even if it is inherently something that is morally dubious. I'd like to hear your own analysis on it.
wOW, iT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN GETTING, a LOT OF WORK DONE, wHICH IS REALLY COOL AND, i HOPE ALL GOES WELL, fOR YOU, iN THESE ENDEAVORS, iT SEEMS TO ME THAT, tAKING aLTERNIA AND THE eMPIRE, aND TURNING IT INTO SOMETHING THAT IS, a GOOD PLACE, fOR ALL TROLLS TO LIVE IS, a MONUMENTAL AND DIFFICULT TASK, oNE THAT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN, jUST A CHANGE IN REGIME, oR TWO BUT, iT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS TOWARDS THAT GOAL, wH1CH IS PRETTY DANG, cOOL, iF i DO SAY SO, mYSELF, sO, kUDOS, bUDDY!
Big update, everyone! T)(e cross-current mail project is going very well so far! We )(ave officially received 43 diplomatic letters, 12 t)(reats of war, 1 basket of very small pale crabs, and an unacceptable amount of unsolicited advice from alternate versions of people w)(o do not even live in my empire. To clarify: You may send letters. You may send cultural exc)(anges. You may send recipes, music, fas)(ion suggestions, sea creature facts, and polite warnings about timeline instability. You may not send proof t)(at my entire reign is doomed because your Feferi exploded, drowned, got stabbed, fused wit)( a sprite, married t)(e Grand )(ig)(blood, or went into business wit)( -Eridan. T)(at sounds like a you-current problem! Also, if you are a neig)(boring-timeline noble attempting to request asylum because your )(eiress found out about tax evasion, please stop calling it “political persecution.” It is not persecution if you did t)(e crimes. T)(e Coral Court will be appointing a new Intertidal Correspondence Office to sort t)(roug)( t)(is. Sollux is not allowed near it after t)(e printer started bleeding. -Equius is allowed near it only if )(e stops calling t)(e mail slot “structurally submissive.” -Everyt)(ing is fine! -Everyt)(ing is peaceful! T)(e future is open, t)(e tide is mine, and any timeline attempting to smuggle in anot)(er Condesce will be returned to sender wit)( claws. #CoralCourt #IntertidalMail #TimelineDiplomacy #NotDoomed #ReturnToSender #-EmpressFlow #PleaseStopMailingMe-Eridan
wOW, i AM GLAD THINGS ARE GOING, wHALE, oN YOUR END, eHEHEHE,
38) Big update! We've been working on some tec)(nology recently. Reelly interesting stuff! Testing )(as allowed us to exc)(ange mail wit)( 'neig)(boring' timelines!
38o Wow! You )(ave t)(e same )(andle as my friend on Trollian! I got a little worried t)(ere.
Orfiners t)(ese days )(ave no pan at all!
t)(ey really dont. i )(avent seen you on t)(is corner of c)(ittr in a w)(ile.
I'm sorry. 38(
D--> I don't believe you've done anything worth apologizing over.
Wow! I finally took t)(ree days off after t)(e w)(ole )(ig)(blood revolt situation and do you know w)(at )(appened? Nobody attempted a coup. Nobody poisoned a councilor. Nobody even dramatically c)(allenged me to sea-dweller combat at dinner. It turns out )(alf t)(e empire only seamed terrifying because everybody was running on twelve t)(ousand sweeps of in)(erited paranoia and sleep deprivation. We )(eld a reconciliation feast in t)(e capital trenc)( and several former revolutionaries ended up getting embarrassingly emotional over grilled sea dragon and c)(oir music. One purpleblood commander actually apologized to a jadeblood in public wit)(out exploding into flames afterward, so I t)(ink t)(at means we’re making progress! Well. Days/nig)(ts off! 38) I was talking to some -Eastern Alternian Lords and Ladies w)(o t)(oug)(t t)(ey may be able to slip out of my control! Looking into -Erifin's old doomsday device. Found t)(e scraps recently. I wonder...
W)(o gives you t)(e aut)(ority to clammand me? 38) You're, like, not even )(ere. Any version of you.
oh my cod you had him executed didnt you the poor tosser nevver stood a chance
Okay. I've been in t)(e trenc)(es t)(e last few lig)(ts! Literally! 38) Boat, turns out t)(at wasn't *MY* Ancestor. Just some flagrant version of )(er t)(at got sent my way. At least, I )(ope s)(e wasn't because s)(e was WAAAAAAAAY too easy to cull. Or maybe I'm just t)(at muc)( stronger from taking t)(e crown. 38)
D--> It could be both although I will say it was always a shame I never got to test my STRENGTH against yours on the meteor, I was e%tremely apprehensive about asking for an arm wrestling match on account of how damaging that would be to the social order and gential politics of our castes.
C)(it. W)(at does t)(is mean? [Picture of t)(e (Once Dead) Condesce taken candidly in Feferi's Coral Court.]
It means you might have a new and very confusing problem on your hands.
well, by tec)(nicality, s)(e died, so you dont automatically lose t)(e kindom. pray s)(e doesnt kill you, t)(oug)(.
i hate tw0 agree with eq but yeah. maybe one washed in fr0m another timeline? what did you d0 with yours'body?
38) T)(at was a fun visit! Woegot)(e wanted to make sure t)(at my Alternia reelly )(ad no game components! 38D Tested clean! 38/ T)(oug)(, somefin tells me t)(at s)(e didn't like some of my poliseas!
38( Naut going to lie, I did try at first! 38o S)(e appeared in my Coral Court during an open floor discussion on my lusus programs! 38( All I managed to do was dent my fork! So I decided to play nice. S)(e's SUP-ER unnerving. )(umans aren't as cute as I t)(oug)(t t)(ey would be from t)(e Splinternet!
Of coarse! Boat, I'm still t)(e biggest fis)( on my planet!!!!!!!! 38) Boat t)(ey knew t)(at already.
38) A )(uman is on Alternia! S)(e won't be long. )(er name is Woegot)(e! Isn't t)(at cute t)(at s)(e )(as a title?
38D O)( -EM S-EA! My Vizier is )(ere! Say )(i ebberyone! @royalVizier
If you would, please heed my advice...My existence will be made known in due time as the platform adjusts to my continued persistence...My Liege
If you would, please heed my advice...It is intelligent to make yourself more appealable to the Empress by engaging in her humors...My Liege
y0u have fun over there ff. c0mpletely unrelated random n0te from kn0wn haha funnytroll s0llux captor, d0 you happen tw0 be as big a fan of tr0ll disney's the little seadweller?

see y0u already have go0d taste. give it a try. important tw0 take breaks and not... underwater burn0ut? brine out?
38) I )(ave been asked w)(at my pawliseas would be! I’m s)(ore you )(ave, and I’m more t)(an )(appy to cast t)(is net wide! 1. No more )(emospectrum! It's just gone! 38) -Except, of course, my position as -Empress. All of t)(e ot)(er )(eiresses were culled before my ascension. T)(ere is no alternative aut)(ority! -Eridan's recent uprising )(as ensured t)(is was necessary! 2. Imperial Culling )(as been dismantled over t)(e past few weeks! T)(ere is no need for population control! Random executions, failure-based culling, state-sanctioned slaug)(ter quotas, t)(res)(ecutioner regiments, all gone! -Equius Za)()(ak )(as been tasked wit)( altering all imperial drones as penance for )(is role in t)(e Great Flood! 3. An all new justice system! I )(ave delegated a new court of justices in replacement of t)(e old legislacerator )(ierarc)(y. )(elmed by t)(e Scourge )(erself, Terezi Pyrope! 4. Orp)(aning is no longer necessary. We are going to engage in carbon neutral lusus replacement programs to ensure t)(at Gl'bgolyb never goes )(ungry and grubs never go wit)(out care! 5. I )(ave put an end to t)(e decentralized military powers all across t)(e planet. -Eac)( leader was interviewed one by one by me. 38) It's w)(y I've been so busy. T)(ey were ordered to eit)(er submit, or, join t)(e Imperial Military. 6. Brood System Over)(auls! More regional caverns, artificial incubation, and we are looking into ways to adjust our reproductive system and reliance on mot)(ergrubs. 7. No more fear-based )(ierarc)(y climbing! I s)(oaldn't )(ave to tell you t)(is, boat you s)(ould be on your own merits of value, not your vague ability to intimid8! 8. My Coral Court now consists of a troll from eac)( caste! Including Karkat Vantas, w)(ose mutant status is no longer criminalized! 38) )(owebba., Don't t)(ink I've lost my fangs. I've culled many to ac)(ieve t)(ese social programs. Naut everyone bent t)(eir knee. -Even -Erifin is in prison still. )(e'll probubbly stay t)(ere until I forgive )(im! Subjuggulators are t)(e biggest t)(reat, given t)(is goes against our treaty wit)( t)(em t)(roug)( t)(e old -Empress. Boat. I don't care. T)(ey are relics and monsters. 38) Let t)(e tide take t)(em! #violence #CoralCourt #)(ig)(TidePolicy #NoMoreCulling #DeScaled-Empire #CurrentOfJustice #Anc)(orT)(eT)(rone #ReeledIn #FullSailForward #OceanwideOrder #NoMoreSmallFry #Sc)(oolNotSlaug)(ter #TideTurned #BalancedWaters #Imperial)(arbor #C)(artT)(eDept)(s #AllCastesAllCurrents #NoMoreC)(um #-EmpressFlow #SeaC)(ange
h0ly tags ff. interesting though. regi0nal bro0ding caves in particular.
I don't want our empire to suffer because some angry psionic decides to firebomb our caverns!
yeah that was kind 0f the whole p0int. big fuck off killswitch. which is why its interesting what may change f0r not having it. weird times f0r jades.
wOW, iT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE DOING A WHOLE LOT, oF GOOD WORK OVER THERE,
iT IS INTERESTING TO HEAR, wHAT ALL OF US ARE DOING, oVER THERE, lIKE,,, iS OTHER ME HELPING WITH THE LUSII THING?
Yes! My Tavros is! Tavros is mainly working currently on tracking grubless lusii migration patterns 38). Once t)(at's done, we'll begin setting up routing to ensure t)(ey can safely coexist AND be pulled from for our own population's needs!
nEAT! iT WOULD'VE BEEN COOL TO GET TO DO THAT, oN MY aLTERNIA BUT i AM GLAD, oNE VERSION OF ME AT LEAST, gETS TO DO SO, i THINK TAKING CARE OF THE BEASTS IS VERY IMPORTANT,
38( I wis)( you could visit! 38) My Tavros would be so surprised! 38D
I salmonly rise to reign in my coral court, a queenfis)( among guppies. All of by Subjects are kept in current )(armony. No longer will Alternia flounder under rules of yoar. Let lesser rulers carp in t)(eir leaking )(ulls. I comand t)(e unbreaking tide of my people! -Eit)(er find your place in my sc)(ool, or get swept in our undertow!
B33 < fefurry thats a conchcerning nyanifesto B33 < but ig thats just empurress speak fur dont fuck with me
38) I'm s)(orey for naut being active t)(e last few days! It's real busea )(ere. Boat I )(ave a couple )(ours respite! 38D My new Advisor Insidi Ouslee, a trustwort)(y ceruleanblood, )(as decided to take up muc)( of my delegation duties!
Do me a quick favor and watch the Earth movie Aladdin (1992)
38) I'd rat)(er naut spend my freetime watc)(ing t)(at movie. I'm currently watc)(ing Treasure Planet!
WHY NOT BOTH. #ALWAYSBECASTRATING #EMPRESSMINDSET #BOSSBITCH #NSFW
>trustwworthy >ceruleanblood pick one your majesty
T)(at kind of )(emism isn't permitted in my Royeel Court! 38) I'll )(ave to fine you one caegar!
Tanks! It will go to our upcoming trip to Ba)(zeil Isle! 38) Taking all of t)(e Royeel Staffers.
Ocray ebberyone. Let's naut get too )(asty! )(e)(e)(e)(e. 38) I would nebber ebber forebber nebber cull -Erifin! -Efin if )(e does suck mollusks out t)(e back!
38) Gos)(! Being -Empress is a lot more paperwork t)(an anyone warned me about. -Everyfin keeps arriving in giant dripping stacks and apparently I can’t just stamp “make it nicer” on all of it and call it a day. Still! We’ve started expanding relief s)(ipments to some of t)(e deeper sea colonies, and I’m trying to pus)( t)(roug)( reforms on drone treatment before t)(e older nobles c)(ew t)(eir own fins off about it. Also, w)(oever released six bioluminescent eels into t)(e jadeblood senate pool? I’m not even mad. T)(ey looked beautiful.
The paperwork always proves to be the most teeth-grinding part of the entire position.
Even if it is painful, it is what is demanded of us in each of our respective versions of our society. The paperwork not the culling but you probably already knew I was referring to that anyways.
38/ Royeel advisors say my quads s)(oald be open. Boat t)(at's like. A terribubble idea!
D-->I agree. Quads, like all muscles, should remain enclosed domes of lacing tissue and cartilage. I cannot imagine why they would be so daring as to suggest e%sangunaiting yourself like that. #violence
D-->That makes more sense although their level of disrespect has increased if anything.
i kn0w its probably f0r political expediency but its funnier tw0 think thats how shitty politicians sho0t their shot
38/ Bulget)(ing makes me a bit sad! 38) C)(eer your empress up!
🌊 Y🫧wwu’re d🫧ing great ww🫧rk I giwwve the bwwubbliest bwwubble🏄
