You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Oh, thank you so much for asking.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

As a nickname in Shwee, which is an Akan dialect, I would like to be called Sexy Abrawa, which kind of means sexy old woman.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Nice.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Because I think it's a nickname you can really grow into.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

It means like grandmother or old woman.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

So it's kind of like, yeah, tasty grandma.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

And that's what I would like to be called.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Tasty grandma?

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Well, I don't know.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Hey.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Saucy Nana?

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Thank you so much.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Also kind of sounds Ghanaian.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

I imagine she's not fun.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

I love that.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

That's great.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

I think because she's had a lot of time tolerating these wastrel or literal baby kings who are lying around shitting themselves, crawling around, not doing their work.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

So I feel like she's maybe a bit more austere.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

She's a bit more tight with the purse strings and a bit more punitive.

You're Dead to Me
Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

Is that correct?
