She’s looking beefy lately 💪

I love how you took the time to share this with me. Me? Personally? Ready to get manhandled too

Alessia: led the slave rebellion that liberated the Nedes from over a thousand years of chattel slavery under Ayleid rule, a very easy first pick. Though arguably not even an 'emperor' because it's pretty likely that title was retroactively applied post-Marukh coup.

Martin: martyrized himself to save all of Tamriel from Mehrunes Dagon, though he didn't really do all that much actual leading in his few months as emperor, so he's solidly under Alessia.

Belharza: he was the only ruler other than Alessia to sit the throne prior to the Marukh coup during Ami-El's reign that reformed the fledgling nation into a theocratic expansionist empire hellbent on elven genocide, and we don't know a lot about Belharza due to Marukh's followers destroying most documents about him, but like, as far as I can tell his rule was pretty much consistent with Alessia's, so I'll give him third place.

Kintyra II: She was just a baby who was crowned at 15, imprisoned by rivals at 16, and dead soon after. Hard to have any hate in my heart for her!! She never even had the chance to grow up and do terrible emperor things!

Hi Alessia!! 🥰 Here's 5 I've really had on repeat lately:

• Guilty as Sin? by Taylor Swift

• Watermelon by John + Jane Q. Public

• Cheekbones by Arrows In Action

• Drag Path by Twenty One Pilots
