so was anybody gonna talk about the new ecology paper proposing Ethiopian wolves as potential pollinators of native nectar-rich flower inflorescences positioned on stalks conveniently within wolf enjoying height AND that it includes photos of said wolves doing said unconfirmed alleged pollination (delightful) AND that it has observational evidence suggesting some wolves do like 1 flower and are done and other wolves just get really into it and spend upwards of an hour going between 20 and 30 flowers for up to 4-5 minutes per cluster just utterly going at it, lost in the nectar sauce? because I cannot BELIEVE I haven’t seen something on this webbed site about it yet. it just has everything this site enjoys

Hi. I read your zoophile laios fanfic and as much as those kind of subjects make me uncomfortable, I think you handled it very well. This story is even more unnerving because I can absolutely see it being Canon to the story. Your fanfic launched a train of thoughts in my mind, one that I wanted to share with you.

Laios's sexuality has always been subject of debate in the fandom. The succubus chapter especially brought many different interpretations. When we see izutsumi's succubus we see that she has two, one appealing to her human side, a representation of her mom. The other appealing to her animal side, a large black cat. I think the same applies to laios.

Laios very much doesn't see himself as human, which I think is the reason why he react to "marcille" the way he did. I think the succubus tried to appeal to the human part of him. The part that is attracted to humans, the part that he deny with all his might. Which is why he had such a visceral reaction to marcille approaching him like that... That's when the succubus changed strategy and turned the image of marcille into an animalistic monster to appeal to his conscious desires.

This chapter illustrate the tragic duality of laios's character. Hating humanity yet yearning for the acceptance of his friends. Dysphoric yet deeply, undoubtedly human. To me, laicille and labru represent a good ending for laios. One where he end up with someone that help him accept his humanity. They're cute vanilla ships that I enjoy.

But there's also a bad ending, one where entirely reject humanity and carry his sexual desires entirely on monsters, or even animals.

Toudencest is also a bad ending in my opinion. One in which he chose his sister for he think that she's the only human being that will ever accept him, and the only one he can truly be himself around. Incest aside, they will certainly become unhealthily co-dependent.

Of course, there's also the possibility of laios being celibate but that's pretty much the Canon ending.

I want to add that it's not me saying that shipping laios with a monster or his sister is bad, I literally have a toudencest sideblog (@toudencestyay hi) I'm just judging it throught what would be healthy for a real person. I hope you didn't mind my rambling. Your fanfic just made me think a lot.

Have a good day

Hiii!

You don’t know how these comments make me happy! Enjoying to read something I write is already an accomplishment, but it making you *think* is more than an honour! Thank you so much for giving me a bit of your time to write that.

Also, I understand how the subject of zoophilia can be so gut wrenching, Laios is the first character that I could think of exploring the theme, I’m glad you think the way I handled it was satisfying.

Your analysis is on point, I can really see the duality of human - animal/monster in the narrative. The succubus chapter along with chap 67 are my favourites, you can take so much of Laios character. I love to play with the idea of something *ugly* within him, I think he has so much depth and potential and it’s often oversimplified.

Laios has so many “contradictions” and “complements”, I can see him being … liminal? In a way he wants to be a monster but he is also extremely human. He’s so strong and has everything to be power hungry, but in the end is a beloved king. He loves his sister but kills her for her sake. His attraction is also in these lines of being between two worlds. Another reason I love him so much. As you said, duality.

Ooo and I enjoy your toudencest blog very much! I do have a toudencest fic as well. They’re my favourite pairing! I’m very much a multishipper tho, I understood what you meant and agree.

Your thoughts mean a lot, feel free to talk more about if you want, I’m always up to it! Love dunmeshi ramblings!

And again, thank you!

the anti woke italian american gym bro did more good for society than liberals on twitter ever will. If you wanna take back your support for him just because of some stupid tweets you need to step your game up, go kill a CEO and get back to me.

Ignoring the real possibility he intentionally let himself be caught from the little we know so far Luigi Mangione's case is a fascinating combination of astonishing brilliance and confusing stupidity. This young man plans and executes his assassination and escape with such a meticulous care and calmness that it's suspected that he's a professional hitman. He comes up with Riddler-sque moves like writing his manifesto poetically on the bullets and leaving his backpack behind full of Monopoly money. He carefully wears a mask to avoid being identified but removes it because a woman who was checking him into the hostel was flirting with him and wanted to see his smile. He still manages to escape the most surveilled city in the country in the midst of ongoing national manhunt only to get caught in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Pennsylvania while eating at the McDonalds. Because for some reason he had the same clothes and mask as in New York and was carrying the same gun and suppressor. And when the cops detained him he showed them the same fake id he used in New York. And oh yeah he's a frat bro gym rat who has a masters degree in computer science from Penn but reads stupid self-help books about being on the grind and is 'anti-woke' while being bisexual suffering from anxiety and wanting to end oppressive capitalism. Not even god himself could invent a person like this
