We British are used to women commanders in war; I am descended from mighty men! But I am not fighting for my kingdom and wealth now. I am fighting as an ordinary person for my lost freedom, my bruised body, and my outraged daughters…. Consider how many of you are fighting — and why! Then you will win this battle, or perish. That is what I, a woman, plan to do!— let the men live in slavery if they will.

  Badass Women in History - Queen Boudica

  Boudica was a queen of the British Iceni tribe who led an uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire.

Boudica’s husband Prasutagus ruled as a nominally independent ally of Rome and left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman emperor in his will. However, when he died, his will was ignored and the kingdom was annexed. Boudica was flogged, her daughters raped, and Roman financiers called in their loans.

In AD 60 or 61, when the Roman governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus was campaigning on the island of Anglesey off the northwest coast of Wales, Boudica led the Iceni, the Trinovantes and others in revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (modern Colchester), earlier the capital of the Trinovantes but at that time a colonia, a settlement for discharged Roman soldiers, and site of a temple to the former Emperor Claudius. Upon hearing of the revolt, Suetonius hurried to Londinium (modern London), the twenty-year-old commercial settlement that was the rebels’ next target.

The Romans, having concluded that they did not have the numbers to defend the settlement, evacuated and abandoned Londinium. Boudica led 100,000 Iceni, Trinovantes and others to fight Legio IX Hispana and burned and destroyed Londinium, and Verulamium(modern-day St Albans). An estimated 70,000–80,000 Romans and British were killed in the three cities by those led by Boudica. Suetonius, meanwhile, regrouped his forces in the West Midlands, and despite being heavily outnumbered, defeated the Britons in the Battle of Watling Street.

The crisis caused the Emperor Nero to consider withdrawing all Roman forces from Britain, but Suetonius’s eventual victory over Boudica confirmed Roman control of the province. Boudica then either killed herself so she would not be captured, or fell ill and died. The extant sources, Tacitus and Cassius Dio, differ. (x)

{ Sometimes I like to pretend this character in Tempest is straight-up Gadell, who arrived in my head years ago thanks to JRM’s portrayal of Steerpike in Gormenghast. Look at that magic. }

My kink is people underestimating me and ending up wrong and embarrassed

Tenel Ka Djo always found that certain words would drift into her head when she thought of people she knew. Conniving went to her grandmother, resilient was attached to her mother, determined was always one that associated itself with Jaina – gentle was one of the words that mentally always found its way to Jacen Solo.

He had been gentle as a teenager with his collection of living creatures, he had been gentle on their mission to Myrkr, always placing a hand on her shoulder and making sure she was alright – he had been the most gentle when he first held Allana.

As time went on and he unknowingly spiraled towards Caedus, every instance he crawled into the plush blankets of the royal bed and laid his hands on her, things would get rougher. With every visit, it went a little further.

Tenel Ka had never minded though. She figured it was the stress he was under, the scrutiny and the nonstop questions finally getting to him.

And she wouldn’t admit to anyone that she enjoyed it.

She gave orders all day, every day, for so much of her life that she welcomed another’s dominance. He was the only one who could get away with it though – sexual or otherwise.

After he was gone, she found herself wondering – on occasion – how young, gentle Jacen Solo would have handled the mere thought of some of the things that happened in the royal bed.

(And on the table in the Queen’s Drawing Room, and the counter in the refresher and so on.)
