qbaghera actually is kind of punk for running for president just so she can try and dissuade everyone else from falling for the federation's plan (whatever that is), and make them understand that they have more power fighting together than they will ever have if one of them becomes a puppet. and she will try all that right on the federation's own stage

LEAN AND HUNGRY LOOKS
The story goes that when someone was accusing them both of plotting against Caesar, he remarked:‘It is not the fat, sleek-headed men I am afraid of, but the pale, lean ones’ – and here he pointed to Brutus and Cassius, the men who were to conspire against him and murder him.
-Plutarch
I'm reading a book on Brutus' reception during the italian renaissance within a broader discussion of parricide and tyrannicide, it's pretty fun!
it's also been a hot minute since I've drawn some dead romans: I wanted to try out some new stuff, redesign brutus for the millionth time, and went looking for that sweet creative inspiration, and tonight I decided I'd finally crack open that roman ornament design book I got back in october and draw some columns.
anyway, I think Brutus is most fun if he stabs Caesar twice :)

yeah yeah i got recommended that Henry Cooldown analysis video whatever. i am still not over people comparing Henry to a medieval knight, NOT even taking the time to unpack that said mental image of a knight is 'mostly' associated with the British Monarchy*, an extension of its Empire that *checks notes* did a long list of atrocities like imperialism and colonialism, and also (multiple) genocides.
Henry is NOT British, he is Irish. Although considering the history of Ireland and how poorly the British Empire has treated them (amongst SO MANY OTHER COUNTRIES AND DIASPORAS), yeah it's NOT surprising that an Irish man like Henry is essentially forced to adopt quote on quote 'British sensibilities' to 'survive'. <- intentional imagery or not, the implications are not lost on me.
Like okay, calling out the comparison is cool but it sure would be nice if people went further to unpack what that means and implies in the long term. you know, like ACTUAL CRITICAL ANALYSIS?!
