#her virginity also carried prophetic significance which she seemed to be aware of

i hate when people draw joan of arc as an ultra feminine sex symbol. she was boyish and she would hate you. so jot that down
#if you want to draw a hot girly knight in articulated nipple armor then have at it brother#but that is NOT joan of arc and it’s weird of you to say it is#she was also very proud of being a virgin! she believed it pleased the voices she heard#insisting on remaining a virgin allowed her to maintain her honor as a soldier rather than as someone who wanted to have sex with soldiers#her virginity also carried prophetic significance which she seemed to be aware of#every time a man tried to touch her sexually she fought him off#and the soldiers she fought alongside said that she was beautiful but that they never desired her#everything we know about her indicates that she didn’t want to have sex or to be sexualized#like. that was specifically counter to her aims her interests her image#i get that centuries’ worth of people have heaped layers and layers of legend on her to the point that it’s hard to discern the real person#but pride in virginity and rejection of sexualization are two things we know were very important to joan#and we don’t know what she looked like but we know she insisted on wearing men’s clothes which is what i mean by boyish#she would be horrified and disgusted if she knew people now are drawing her in armor that emphasizes her breasts
