"Ovid is a vile poet that wrote about sex and violence!" goddamn really? Should we tell the senate? Should we announce dies festus? Should we invite pater patriae?

Now, could you give Virginia some love too, pls? 💖🤗
Again, off the top of my head:
Her schtick with the boots on the table, eating an apple and being obnoxious, getting everyone to underestimate them and then wiping the floor with them.
Her self-awareness.
How she knows she's smarter than almost everyone but never looks down on others because of it.
Her level-headedness, and how she always keeps her cool.
The way she talked Sevro down from trying to kill the Duke of Hands, convinced him and the Howlers to come back into the fold, and gave Sevro a dressing-down for leaving Darrow behind. It's one of my favorite scenes in the entire series.
Her relationship with the Telemanuses.
The way she tries so hard as Sovereign not to take/use too much power, even when she knows so many things would be much easier if she did.

The anime season 1 OP: an analysis
I have the strangest feeling that the context of the opening song’s ending scenes could be taken straight from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton.”
You know that famous “You aren’t coming!” “Then you aren’t going!” debacle between SH and JW that’s been dramatised, re-enacted and analysed throughout the years?
“Well, I don’t like it, but I suppose it must be,” said I. “When do we start?”
“You are not coming.”
“Then you are not going,” said I. “I give you my word of honour--and I never broke it in my life--that I will take a cab straight to the police-station and give you away, unless you let me share this adventure with you.”
“You can’t help me.”
“How do you know that? You can’t tell what may happen. Anyway, my resolution is taken. Other people besides you have self-respect, and even reputations.”
Holmes had looked annoyed, but his brow cleared, and he clapped me on the shoulder.
“Well, well, my dear fellow, be it so. We have shared this same room for some years, and it would be amusing if we ended by sharing the same cell. You know, Watson, I don’t mind confessing to you that I have always had an idea that I would have made a highly efficient criminal.”
This Toto and his dominant side taking over. There’s more than meets the eye.
They aren’t holding hands, per se, but Toto is trying to prevent Ron from doing something stupid, or to do it all by himself. Because, they are partners now.
Hence, Ron’s reaction and a resolution that is going to work out in the end.
