Im obviously biased in favour of people like messalina or fulvia or agrippina or poppaea sabina and am ridiculously hostile in confronts of like marie antoinette or maria carolina or anyone from the bourbons or the savoias which i do get sounds extremely hypocritical because often these julio claudian women were more objectively more abhorrent in its imperialist acts (ex agrippina sending a contingent in the eastern provinces, fulvia's role in the perusine wars. Even sabina, who did send massive help to pompeiians and fought for jewish cults to be kept, still had her hands in the death of claudia octavia who really was just an innocent victim, which automatically makes her a person 10 times worse than who Marie Antoinette was). And tbh it comes both from me liking ancient rome wayyy more than i love 18th century europe (i love it the same i just am psychophysically attached to the former </3) but also the way these women really? Aren't given much mercy or woobiefication by common culture? You still have whore Messalina and Sabina, nonexistent Fulvia and crazy ass Agrippina w no actual unanimous santification where you will get people who have not spent a single moment thinking about feminism outside of doing dead women stan wars call you a misogynist because you said they did shitty things. And it goes from mild annoyance like w Marie Antoinette to straight up anger when you get shit like saying Du Barry loved her slave, actually, and he was lying about being mistreated, or more personal to me things like people girlbossifying colonizer Maria Carolina for extrajudicially sending 100 people to death (and ignoring the other hundreds sent to death post republic of naples of 1799) or making cute edits of the Savoias during the italian declaration of republic day, expecting you to call Elena di Montenegro cute for calling Umberto her short husband and ignoring the acts of colonialism Savoias did in southern italy but especially in north africa and ethiopia where they gassed civilians and let their generals have child sex slaves

I do not want to do the actually historical women's actions were all driven by Emotion and not Ambition but god i keep thinking about how Caligula and Julia Drusilla (the daughter), and Julia Livilla's deaths may have affected her behavior. She was already an extremely ruthless schemer before! But you have Caligula's murder, and while they werent as close as Caligula was w Drusilla (the sister), but that is still her brother being killed (and argueably all the children of Germanicus got along iirc?), and Drusilla the daughter was so close to Nero in age and she got her head smashed against a wall despide being a baby herself... Livilla on her hand got killed under Claudius' (and probably Messalina's) orders.... god i would sacrifice my firstborn if that meant her memoirs actually got to us. I would have loved to see (if obviously in a filtered and biased way) her thoughts on just about anything in her life

Yeah i headcanon the misogynistic violent enforcer of the theocracy with white supremacy adjacent parallelisms who beat a woman to a bloody pulp while calling her a rotten whore as a trans woman this totally doesnt reflect what i think about cis women and trans women
