coriolanus snow sfw alphabet

A = Affection (How affectionate they are)

this definitely depends on coriolanus’s mood but i think he wouldn’t be too affectionate. he would want to wait to be affectionate until he genuinely feels the need to be. usually early mornings are when he’s most affectionate. i can see him being such a touchy feely person in the morning.

B = Best Friend (what they would be like as a best friend)

coryo as your best friend would be very protective. if you go to him exclaiming that you’re really upset over something, he will be there for you and listen to you. he may judge you a bit but he will listen to you. and if someone messed with you, he would threaten to kill that individual lol.

C = Cuddles (Do they like cuddles?)

coryo loves cuddles! i think he would pretend as though he doesn’t but he’s naturally very cold (comes with years of poor diet) so when you’re next to him, he just wants to cling to you like a koala because you’re so warm and it makes him feel so good. he’s especially cuddly in the mornings.

D = Domestic (do they want to settle down, how are they at cooking and cleaning?)

coryo is the type to want to settle down and get married. however, i don’t think he would be a good cook. i think he would try but it would be pretty bad. and he would go “well at least it’s edible, better than nothing.” as for cleaning, he craves control and power and cleaning gives him that control and power so he would be very good at it.

E = Ending (if they broke up with their partner, how would they do it?)

probably in a very nonchalant sort of way. he would look them in the eye and just go “i don’t want to be with you anymore.” with no further explanation. or it could go really toxic. i think it all just depends on the reasoning for the breakup tbh.

F = Fiancé(e) (how do they feel about commitment?)

coryo loves the idea of commitment. someone being so totally down bad for him that they want to marry him? he’ll likely propose within a year of the relationship because he wants to have a wife or significant other someday. whether he feels for that person or not doesn’t particularly matter to him.

G = Gentle (how gentle they are emotionally and physically)

coryo isn’t too gentle emotionally and physically. he’s very impulsive and doesn’t communicate well. so i think when he expresses himself, it comes off much harsher than anticipated. same goes with physical things as well. like if he wants you close to him, he will indeed just grab you and pulled you towards him lol.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? What are their hugs like?)

coryo loves hugs but will never admit it. his favorite kind are just walking up to you and wrapping his arms around you while his chin rests on your shoulder. his hugs are actually either gentle or very tight. and regardless, he gives good hugs.

I = I love yous (how fast they say the L word)

giggles. he’d be the type to say it really fast whether he means it or not. he just wants you to stay with him. and to do that, he would tell you he loves you within a few weeks to a month of him being with you.

J = Jealousy (how jealous do they get?)

he’s so jealous!! coryo is a very possessive person. when someone is his, they’re his only. so he would get very jealous.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? where do they kiss you? where do they like to be kissed?)

ugh okay so his kisses are literally the best kisses ever. he kisses you like he’s a starving man that needs you to breathe. like you are his air. you could easily get lost in just kissing coryo. he loves kissing your lips and he loves when you kiss his cheek.

L = Little Ones (how are they around children, do they want children?)

coryo would want children for sure. and i actually think he would be a really good dad. in the book, he was really good with maude ivory who is just a child. so i think coryo would be really sweet with his own children. he would never let them see into his world and world want his kids to be happy and healthy.

M = Morning (how they are in the mornings)

coryo is so cuddly in the mornings. he’s to type to just koala cling himself to you just to get you to stay in bed with him. and if he has to get himself ready, he would be very pouty while he does so. he’s not much of a morning person as he prefers to stay up at night. but he’s super cuddly in the mornings.

N = Nights (How they are at night)

coryo is very intimate at night. and that is all i will say about that lol

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

coryo isn’t too open about himself in general. it would take a long while before he opened up emotionally. like he will need to make sure you’re 100% loyal to him and that he can trust you with his whole being before he could say anything about his childhood or his inner thoughts. he isn’t trusting of people.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

coryo is easily angered i feel. he is quick to resort to being annoyed and frustrated when things don’t go his way.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

he has a really good memory and would remember the things you love or the things you do. he may forget stuff here and there but he will always remember the things such as your favorite flowers, how you like your tea, how you like your coffee, your favorite meal, what jewelry you like and such. he will remember the small details that makes him love you.

R = Remember (Favorite memory about your relationship)

coryo’s favorite memory would be before you guys got together emotionally. whether you’re already in an arranged marriage, best friends, or rivals, there would’ve been this one time where he had fallen ill. and you took care of him by bringing him home or to your place and you just had him rest. and it meant so much to him.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

coryo is very protective. it may get annoying at times because you’ll be like out shopping and when you get home, he would ask you each store you went to. but it’s just because he’s paranoid and doesn’t want to lose you or have you get hurt in any way, shape, or form.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

coryo is so good at dates, anniversaries, gifts, etc. he wants you to be completely infatuated with him and so he does everything necessary to ensure that. you want to create meaningful gifts for your anniversary? he’s got it covered. you want to go on the most romantic, candlelit dinner ever? done. he sees flowers that he thinks you will like? he’s already bought them.

U = Ugly (What are some of their bad habits?)

coryo’s bad habits are: manipulative, possessiveness, jealousy, grabbing your shoulders a little too aggressively, etc. but he has really good habits too!

V = Vanity (How concerned are they about their looks?)

coryo is very concerned with his looks. it is what helped him get through being so poor.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

this definitely depends on the dynamic but once he’s in love with you, you’re in his heart forever and he cannot let go. so if you guys end up not together any longer, he would feel empty and would see signs of you everywhere.

X = Xtra (Random headcanon)

there was this time when you guys visited district four after he became president and you went to the ocean together. and you definitely pushed him into the water so he pushed you into the water and you guys just forgot about your lives for awhile.

Y = Yuck (What are some of the things they don’t like?)

coryo doesn’t like beating around the bush. he needs things to be blunt and direct. he also doesn’t like when you’re not taken care of at all. i also feel like he’s the type to not like messes outside of what you guys do sexually

Z = Zzz (Sleeping habits)

coryo’s sleeping habits include him just holding you while he sleeps on his side. but he also likes it when you hold him. he wants to be the little spoon sometimes

Happy 179th birthday to Miss Maude Milbourne, aka Professor R. F. Milbourne, born 15 Aug 1843, who in 1905 told the local newspaper: “While physically I am a man, yet spiritually and intellectually I am neither a man nor a woman, while I feel that in form and spirit I incline more to effeminacy and am gradually taking on more of the nature of womanhood.”

Another time, the newspaper reported, “They do not know whether they are a man, woman, or a spirit, and nobody else knows what they are either.” [edited to use neutral pronouns]

Based on my research, in modern terms I think Milbourne would fit well into the definitions of transfeminine and nonbinary.

Below I’ll share some of the coolest newspaper clippings I’ve found for Prof. Milbourne.

Image description: A cropped newspaper clipping from page 4 of The Cyclone and Fayette Republican, published in Washington, Ohio on Thursday, May 22nd, 1902. It’s titled “Prof. R. F. Milbourne, the Female Impersonator, as Miss Maud Milbourne.” Below that is a grainy black and white photo of Milbourne, standing and wearing feminine clothing, including a long dress. The newspaper says:

We present herewith a good picture of Prof. Randolph Milbourne in female attire, the picture having been taken a few days ago. Prof. Milbourne has decided to give entertainments throughout the county. His first public entertainment was given a few nights ago for the local Elk's Lodge, and the report is that it made a big hit. The Professor has had a number of photographs taken representing himself in female attire, as well as in male attire in various Delsarte poses. One would not imagine in looking at the above picture that the original was a veteran of the civil war and was one of “the boys.” He has drawn a pension from the government for many years.

Image description: A newspaper clipping from page 8 of The Cyclone and Fayette Republican, published in Washington, Ohio on Thursday, December 25th, 1902. It says: “Miss Maude Milbourne, formerly Prof Randolph Milbourne, gave a rehearsal at the opera house on last Friday afternoon in the presence of the Al G Field Minstrel aggregation. He gave a number of female impersonations and ended with an A B C sermon, impersonating an old man preaching a sermon. The Professor says that one of the men belonging to the company runs a roof garden in New York City in the summer time, and that he offered him $100 a night to give his impersonations, and he prefers this offer to the Fields offer of $300 a week.”

Image description: A newspaper clipping from page 5 of The Cyclone And Fayette Republican, published in Washington, Ohio on Thursday, April 30th, 1903. It is titled, “Maude Milbourne Gives an Entertainment at Dayton,” and says:

The Dayton, Ohio, Journal, of April 27, says:

The members and friends of Diester Post No. 446 and Women’s Belief Corps were entertained on Saturday evening with a musical and elocutionary program given by Mr. R. F. Milbourne, assisted by home talent.

Considerable fun was occasioned by the printing of the programs to read, “Miss Maude Milbourne,” and showing a cut of a handsome young woman whom those not in the secret supposed was the reader of the evening when in truth it was Mr. Milbourne in stage dress.

The program consisted of numerous fine musical selections, after which Mr. Milbourne gave a demonstration of delsarte including posing and sword manipulations. Then changing his costume and appearing in what was supposed to be “male characters,” the earstwhile young lady appeared in the rule of an Irishman lately arrived in this country, and also as a burlesque college professor. During the intermissions Mr. Donald McDonald entertained the audience with playing old war tunes upon the Jews harp, accompanied on the piano by Mr. Huber.

“The committee of ladies from the Relief Corps and the comrades of Diester Post received many compliments upon the entertainment provided.”

Image description: A newspaper clipping from the Democratic Standard of Coshocton, Ohio, published 21 April 1905. The article is titled, “Man Prefers to Dress Himself in Female Garb,” and says:

Washington, C. H., Ohio, April 17. Randolph Milbourne, of this city, has ust written to Attorney General Ellis for an opinion on a very peculiar question. A few days ago Milbourne was arrested and reprimanded by the Mayor for appearing on the streets in female attire. He claimed that he had as good a right to wear the dress of a woman as Dr. Mary Walker has to wear the garb of a man, and he wants to know from the Attorney General if his position is not well taken for the Attorney General to work, and his answer is awaited with interest. Mr. Milbourne says that if the Attorney General gives it as his opinion that he can go upon the streets dressed as a woman he proposes to do so, as he wears female attire because he thinks it becomes him much better than men’s clothing, and he feels more comfortable in skirts.

Image description: A cropped newspaper article from The Spokane Press published May 15, 1905, titled “Ohio Man Wears Woman’s Garb in Spite of Courts.”

Washington Courthouse, O., May 13—Randolph Milbourne, who was arrested here a few days ago for appearing on the streets dressed in female attire, has not received an answer to the letter he wrote Attorney General Wade Ellis asking his opinion as to whether he can not continue to wear women’s clothes on the streets without violating the law.

Milbourne asserts that the law does not touch his case, as he desires to wear female attire because it better suits his form, and he feels more comfortable when thus dressed than when he Is dressed as a man. He says he never did like to wear men’s clothing, and for years he has been wearing the garb of a woman about his hobe, where he lived alone.

Mr. Milbourne says: “It has been my intention for a long time to discard men’s clothing and dress only in female garb. For years I have worn ladles’ garments about my home and I feel much better than when dressed as a man. While physically I am a man, yet spiritually and intellectually I am neither a man nor a woman, while I feel that in form and spirit I incline more to effeminacy and am gradually taking on more of the nature of womanhood.

“There is today too much attention paid to the kind of clothing a person wears. In New Testament times men and women dressed alike, in long, flowing robes, and now I am arrested for wearing garments in vogue in those days. Why should I be arrested for wearing clothing of my choice when I am doing it because I think it is my duty to do so?

“Dr. Mary Walker, a woman of Washington, D. C. chose to wear men’s clothing because she thought them better suited to her profession, holding that in the sickroom men’s clothing does not stir up the dust of the floors as women’s skirts do, and hence should be worn by her. Dr. Mary Walker was arrested for wearing men’s clothing. She pleaded her own case and won ln the courts.

“If Dr. Walker can lawfully wear men’s clothing upon the streets of American cities, why should not I be allowed to wear women’s garments if I prefer to do so? Another thing, my form is better gutted for female dress than for male attire, and I never feel comfortable in men’s clothing, while I am at perfect ease when dressed as a woman. For 10 years I have worn a woman’s corset, and could scarcely live without It.

“If the authorities insist upon preventing me from wearing the attire of a woman it is my intention to petition the legislature at its forthcoming session for the special privilege to wear female attire.

“I am 61 years old, and for three years fought for the Union, serving the last year as drum major ln the Veteran Reserve corps at Detroit barracks, having been transferred from the Eighty-first Ohio, and no one will go further than I will to stand by the law of the land.”

Image description: A newspaper clipping from page 1 of The Cyclone-Republican, published in Washington, Ohio on Thursday, May 11th, 1905. It says:

A most remarkable feature of the Beal local option contested election case last Friday was the testimony of Prof. Randolph Milbourne, the female impersonator, who was arrested not long ago for appearing on the streets dressed in female attire. The drys claim that a large number of voters did not vote at the local option election, and that this fact, coupled with the fact that the returns show the largest vote ever polled in the city, indicates that there were many illegal votes cast. Prof. Milbourne did not vote, and he was called to testify this fact. He said he had been a resident of this city for many years, but at the last election he did not vote. Asked by Mr. Jones, attorney for the wets why he did not vote, he said that it was because he was not sure as to whether or not he had the legal right to vote at a general election as he was in doubt as to whether he was a man or a woman.

Milbourne's testimony created considerable interest in the court room, and after he had testified he was seen by the writer, and asked farther regarding his unusual position. He said that he did not know whether he would try to vote again or not, as he had been told that his vote will be challenged if he attempts it, but that he might try to vote again just to test the case. He says that he does not know whether he is a man, woman, or a spirit, and nobody else knows which he is.

Image description: A newspaper clipping from page 8 of The Cyclone-Republican, published in Washington, Ohio on Thursday, June 1st, 1905. It’s titled, “Prof. Milbourne Recieves a Letter from a Follower in Iowa,” and says:

Prof. Randolph Milbourne the female impersonator recently recieved the following letter from a follower in Iowa. We quote the letter as it was written:

Keokuk Iowa May 22 05.

Mr Randolph Milbourne

Sir havi seen an acount in a Paper that you are adictet to Female atier and as I am One Ove your Folowers as I to have ben Wering Female atier and will ware it as Long as I Live But I have Only Ware it at home I have ben Wering it Far the Last ten years and I Find it Ever so mutch mare Comfertabe then male garmeuts I hope you Will Be succesfull and Be Premited to Ware Female atier as I am Very mutch interested in you and would like to farespond With you.

A J Reimer

1125 main St, Keokuk Iowa

Interpreted Transcript of Letter:

I have been wearing it for the last ten years and I find it ever so much more comfortable than male garments I hope you will be successful and be permitted to wear female attire as I am very much interested in you and would like to [farespond?] with you.

Image description: A newspaper clipping from page 1 of The Ohio State Register, published in Washington Court House, Ohio on Friday, December 14th, 1906. It says:

“Dress Reform Convention” to be Held in This City.

For some weeks past mention has been made by the press of the unusual convention that it claims will be held in this city, ere the winter is over.

It seems that the idea originated with Major Randolph Milbourne, of this city, who has distinguished himself from the rest of the masculine persuasion by appearing on the street, dressed in female attire.

The convention will be held in the interest of “dress reform”, and Dr. Mary Walker, of New York, Mr. Marks, of Washington state, and dress reformers' from Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania and many other states are to be honored with invitations to meet here.

There has been no little talk about this convention, and already a number of spectators have signified their desire of seeing the men and women who are dissatisfied with the present way in which they are compelled to dress.

Should this convention prove to be a reality, the exhibition of duds suitable to the tastes of martyrs of this class, will doubtless be worth going miles to see.

Rev. Dr. William J. Simmons was born a slave in Charleston, South Carolina, to Edward and Esther Simmons on June 29, 1849. While William was young, his Mother fled slavery with her three children, William and his two sisters Emeline and Anna. They initially landed in Philadelphia, PA, and was met by an uncle named Alexander Tardiff, who housed them, fed them and educated the children. Due to stemming pressures from slave traders, Tardiff relocated his extended family to Roxbury, Pennsylvania, Chester, PA, and ultimately settled down in Bordentown, New Jersey. Tardiff had received an education from the future Bishop Daniel Payne and undertook to give Simmons and his siblings an education on that basis. From 1862 to 1864 William served as an apprentice to a dentist. He served in the Union Army during the US Civil War, enlisting September 15, 1864 and serving a one-year term. He took part in the siege of Petersburg, the Battle of Hatcher's Run, and the Battle of Appomattox Court House and was present at the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. After the war, he returned to dentistry. In 1867, he converted to Baptist and joined a White Baptist church in Bordentown that was pastored by Reverend J. W. Custis. The congregation helped him through college. He attended Madison University (now Colgate University, graduated in 1868), Rochester University, and Howard University, from which he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1873. As a student, he worked briefly in Washington D.C. at Hillsdale School. In Hillsdale, he boarded with Smithsonian Institution employee, Solomon G. Brown. After graduating he moved to Arkansas on the advice of Horace Greeley to become a teacher there, but returned to Hillsdale soon after where he taught until June 1874.

The following summer, he married Josephine A. Silence on August 25, 1874 and moved to Ocala, Florida. The couple had seven children, Josephine Lavinia, William Johnson, Maud Marie, Amanda Moss, Mary Beatrice, John Thomas, and Gussie Lewis. In Florida, he invested in land to grow oranges, became principal of Howard Academy's teacher training program and served as the pastor of a church, deputy county clerk and county commissioner. He campaigned for the Republican Rutherford B. Hayes. He served there until 1879. He was ordained that year and moved to Lexington, Kentucky where he pastored the First Baptist Church. The following year, he became the second president of the Kentucky Normal and Theological Institute, which he worked for a decade. The school was eventually renamed the State University of Louisville and later to Simmons College of Kentucky after Simmons due to schools progression under his tenure. He was succeeded in 1894 at Simmons College by Charles L. Purce.

In Kentucky he was elected for several years the chairman of the State Convention of Colored Men. On September 29, 1882, he was elected editor of the journal, the American Baptist where he criticized the failures of both political parties to support blacks in their civil rights and progress. He was also president of the American Baptist Company. in 1886 he was elected over T. Thomas Fortune to president of the Colored Press Association, having lost to W. A. Pledger the previous year. In 1883, Simmons organized the Baptist Women's Educational Convention, and in 1884, Blanche Bruce appointed Simmons commissioner for the state of Kentucky at the 1884 World's Fair in New Orleans. In 1886, he organized and was elected president of the American National Baptist Convention. The convention was a call for African American Baptist unity and was also led by Richard DeBaptiste and featured notable presentations by Solomon T. Clanton and James T. White. In 1889 in Indianapolis, Simmons was a leader at the American National Baptist Convention and wrote a resolution to provide aid for blacks fleeing violence in the South and moving to the North.

Simmons received an honorary master's degree from Howard University in 1881 and an honorary Doctorate degree from Wilberforce University in 1885. In 1887, he published a book entitled Men of Mark: Eminent, Progressive and Rising, which highlights the lives of 172 prominent African-American men, while serving as the school's president. He was working on a sister edition of the title that would highlight the lives and accomplishments of prominent pre-1900 African-American women, but unfortunately died before its completion. He died on October 30, 1890, in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Golden 14 were the first Black women to muster into the Navy. First recognized by scholar Kelly Miller in his 1919 book “Kelly Miller’s History of the World War for Human Rights,” but nearly lost to history after the war, the women were dubbed the Golden 14 in homage to WWII’s Golden 13, the first Black men to become Navy officers.

Their service began with Armelda Hattie Green of Jackson, Mississippi, who enlisted on August 13, 1918. A former public school teacher, she was in the Aviation Department before being assigned to the Division of Enlisted Personnel, Mustering. Her brother-in-law, John T. Risher, was chief of the Muster Office in the Bureau of Navigation. He was instrumental in her transfer and the other Black women’s enlistment.

Despite Woodrow Wilson winning a second term on a platform that included keeping the US out of the European war. He promoted the passage of the Naval Act and the Naval Reserve Act in 1916. Risher exploited this broad language and the military’s pressing need for administrative support to hire thirteen more African American women and ten Black men to work in the Muster Office.

Black women were often disqualified for military service due to contrived medical issues, such as flat feet. These fourteen pioneering women, distinguished themselves as they served during WWI, braving Secretary of the Navy, an avowed White Supremacist, housing discrimination, and systemic racism that included the rampant lynching of Black people in and out of uniform.

They encompassed women from prominent families such as Sara Davis Taylor and Ruth Welburn. The others were Pocahontas A. Jackson, Catherine E. Finch, Fannie A. Foote, Olga F. Jones, Sarah E. Howard, Marie E. Mitchell, Anna G. Smallwood, Maud C. Williams, Caroll E. Washington, Josephine Washington, and Inez B. McIntosh.

The Navy required all yeomanettes to be mustered out by the end of 1919. There’s some dispute over the exact number of Black women who served. The women were all awarded the WWI Victory Medal for their service. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
