I would rather be subject to a woman without virtue, fidelity, or pity. Such a woman in her magnificent selfishness is likewise an ideal. If I am not permitted to enjoy the happiness of love, fully and wholly, I want to taste its pains and torments to the very dregs; I want to be maltreated and betrayed by the woman I love, and the more cruelly the better. This too is a luxury.

-Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs

Things said at MUN conferences that made my jaw drop:

"The difference between this resolution and this pen is that this pen has a point"

"This is the Hague MUN, not the vague MUN"

"Imagine you are a woman about to give birth, and all of the sudden BOMBOCLAT!"

"As Anakin Skywalker once said"

And then what happiness, when at some time you deign to be gracious, and the slave may kiss the lips which mean life and death to him

I wrote a cute little poem about masochism I hope you guys enjoy

I will dig the soil until my fingers bleed, if you command, to find treasure non existent, and if you laugh at my misery I will heartily dig a little deeper,

Not to prove my worth, I am not disquieted if you think me lesser, but for the cause of being perceived in such state of devotion, as it is perhaps the mind's greatest pleasure.

I hold onto my dignity with false hesitation and quickly realise for that I am unfit, to be demanding of respect, as is decent men's fashion, is an act I will drop once I hear your tone shift.

Demand, demean, and laugh, if my mortification entertains you. I have fulfilled my purpose if my misery has amused you, and by earning your pity I have earned the greatest reward.

I've decided if people are going to call male characters babygirl then I can do it the other way around for female characters. She's my man now. That woman is my boyfriend. My boytoy even.

And mine has the audacity to tell me we should "keep it lowkey"

Also I found this while in the forest, it made me happy

Who does masochism better? Shakespeare or Leopold von Sacher-Masoch?

“Yes, in all seriousness, I want to be your slave,” I continued. “I want your power over me to be sanctified by law; I want my life to be in your hands, I want nothing that could protect or save me from you. Oh, what a voluptuous joy when once I feel myself entirely dependent upon your absolute will, your whim, at your beck and call. And then what happiness, when at some time you deign to be gracious, and the slave may kiss the lips which mean life and death to him.” I knelt down, and leaned my burning forehead against her knee.

-Venus in Furs, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

That god forbid, that made me first your slave, I should in thought control your times of pleasure, Or at your hand the account of hours to crave, Being your vassal, bound to stay your leisure! O! let me suffer, being at your beck, The imprison'd absence of your liberty; And patience, tame to sufferance, bide each check, Without accusing you of injury.

-Sonnet 58, William Shakespeare

Being your slave what should I do but tend Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend; Nor services to do, till you require. Nor dare I chide the world without end hour, Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you, Nor think the bitterness of absence sour, When you have bid your servant once adieu; Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought Save, where you are, how happy you make those.

-Sonnet 57, William Shakespeare

children's media is so evil for pretending broccoli's bad broccoli's literally so delicious and beautiful why are you being so mean to her i think you're just jealous honestly

Do you ever feel such a deep sort of affection where physical touch doesn’t feel enough I need to either have our atoms merge or consume you

This is so unbelievably real

"autism is a new phenomenon that's on the rise" do you really think the Gregorian monks who spent months writing a single letter H and drawing little pictures of snails on it in illuminated manuscripts were neurotypicals? is that really something a neurotypical would do

I unashamedly believe in magic now, just like I did when I was a kid. I’m not crazy, you just let the magic in you die and you turned into the boring adult little you hoped you’d never be.
