. . . but I see how little people care. Somehow my story doesn't interest them.

Beautiful Fire.

Whatching the angel and demon talk was like watching a ballet perfomed by toddlers. All the right enthusiasm, but still stepping on each others toes. It was like watching an out of control fire blaze away, terrifying, a little bit beautiful, and you cant look away.

No sooner was the Lady brought before the Emperor, but he conceived her to be some Goddess, and offered to worship her; which she refused, telling him, (for by that time she had pretty well learned their Language) that although she came out of another world, yet was she but a mortal. At which the Emperor rejoycing, made her his Wife, and gave her an absolute power to rule and govern all that World as she pleased.

R.I.P. Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1623 - 1673)

If I had a time machine, I would take Margaret Cavendish to Comic-Con.

The Blazing World, Margaret Cavendish. 1666. An illustration from a few years ago that was part of a roller derby inspired story written by Mhairi Stewart and included in the Guardian Education award winning Dawn of the Unread series from 2015. Very proud of this piece. https://dawnoftheunread.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/mondayblogs-gary-erskine/ #MargaretCavendish #RollerDerby #TheBlazingWorld

Just found out there was a scifi author before Mary Stonecraft Shelley, and that author was also a woman. Women invented the scifi genre twice. lol

I liked that she used self-inserts as a vehicle for internally debating ideas.

I like that I could immediately picture The Blazing World as an isekai anime or Shoujo manga.

I like that when the Royal Society tried to use their prestige to "finally recognize" her and actually try to bring her under control, she just threw it in their faces, went looking for a fight, wanted a worthy rival to debate, and just defiantly made a spectacle of herself, when they were upset over her eccentricity. lol

Also, her husband sounded cool. So very supportive. ^_^

Maybe I'll draw fanart of The Blazing World sometime. Though, because my brain in steeped in FE3H, I'll have to first get the image of the Empress protagonist from The Blazing World, separated from Edelgard, since she's who I picture lately when I hear "Empress".

All thoughts of revenge are born of the pain of helplessness. I suffer becomes You will suffer.

That Lady then, said the Empress, will I chuse for my Scribe, neither will the Emperor have reason to be jealous, she being one of my own sex. In truth, said the Spirit, Husbands have reason to be jealous of Platonick Lovers, for they are very dangerous, as being not onely intimate and close, but subtil and insinuating. You say well, replied the Empress; wherefore I pray send me the Duchess of Newcastle's Soul; which the Spirit did; and after she came to wait on the Empress, at her first arrival the Empress imbraced and saluted her with a Spiritual kiss

let’s be platonick lovers and share a spiritual kiss 👉👈
