Shooting star. Alienist and neurologist. 1919.

See: Molly as 2D character existing only for the romance plot, MULTIPLE women who are nice to Fitz only to suddenly become "bitchy" when he rebuffs them sexually, Althea and the way she 1. Thinks about consent 2. The whole thing with not wanting to be married not wanting kids wanting to be a captain etc AND YET, the overall weird age gap stuff that happens (looking at Malta and BOTH her suitors).

An incredible work of art done by @eydilily as a commission for the @hermitadaymay fundraiser!

Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.
