i love when people react to my post in a way that is supposed to defy my point but the person hasnt actually read or understood the post. yes bro give us nothing

the post: some sex acts are degrading because men perform them with the goal of degrading the woman so it doesnt matter how the woman feels about it

the reaction: wait til op finds out some women like degrading sex acts

the post: buying sex is inherently abusive because money is power and sex buyers knowingly leverage that to coerce someone with less money and therefore less power into sex

the reaction: well some women choose to be prostitutes. checkmate feminists

the post: sex is a tangible characteristic no matter how an individual feels about it

the reaction: you dont get to tell people how to feel about themselves kys

the post: the porn industry preys on young and naive people and produces misogynistic, racist, homophobic, violent and unconsentful content for the sole purpose of sexual arousal. as demonstrated by pornhubs own database

the reaction: um me and my polyamourous lovers produce ethical feminist porn in our garage and all 10 of my nonbinary friends watch it and i love sending nudes to strangers. so shut up

[angelsaxis]

there was a post going around a bit ago complaining about the claim that chappelle roan and other white lesbian musicians are bringing in a renaissance in lesbians in music (in pop specifically I think? Ive never seen the renaissance claims myself) and while OP was right to be complaining about how people only ever focus on white women for their music, they said "how can u say these white girls are putting us in the renaissance when we have syd --"

terrible paraphrase sorry. but it annoyed me because yes syd is a lesbian and Black but she's not in pop and she's been around for a while. I love syd. i LOVE syd. maybe this is me splitting hairs but if someone says "yaay lesbians in pop" and you bring up syd. idk.

and then they said there's been Black women singing about loving women for ages and they brought up megan thee stallion, janelle monae, khelani, and others and its like yeah! they do all love women! none of them are LESBIANS though and that was the original statement made in their post, lesbians (in pop) starting a lesbian music renaissance.

and again maybe this is splitting hairs or just petty of me or something but if yall cant even name a Black lesbian musician OUTSIDE syd and tracy chapman and the artists you do mention dont even meet the parameters then --

Why do you feel the need to defend those who are sexually harassing trans women? Why do you think essentially telling other trans women they're being hysterical will help anyone? Why do you feel the need to defend the sanctity of sexually harassing trans women?

hiya!! so. quick thing.

op of that post was right but also a doofus

on the one hand, i have now been made aware of that flurry of asks it was apparently made in response to. those asks are textbook sexual harassment, sole to scalp, and also yes 100% misogyny.

on the other, why the FUCK did that op say "the posts about how transfems and transmascs should just be sucking and fucking" instead of. YKNOW. WHAT WAS HAPPENING?

"post" instead of "ask" makes it seem like something people are just saying on their own blogs, not spamming in ask boxes, and "about how transfems and transmascs should just be sucking and fucking" gets to absolutely 0% of the issue with the asks themselves, and in fact touches on a Separate trend i saw a couple times ages ago, which yes, i still think is just a goofy way of phrasing "be normal and hang out and stop fighting"

And this is an apology, yes, but its not a retraction, so dont take it as one.

i responded absolutely Perfectly to ops words. i was lacking context, but it was context their phrasing Obfuscated the existence of, and as such i feel i acted 100% justifiably. on top of this, one or five assholes spamming shitty asks does not a difference in class interests make. tma/tme is still a useless dichotomy invented by an outsider to drive a wedge in the trans community, our internal equivalent of "lgb drop the t". there is still a trend of transfems (of which i am one, and also i am not innocent of this behavior) insisting on a monopoly of oppression, or being reductive in order to martyrize transfems as a group (ive seen plenty of my sisters say they dont care about the genocide in gaza because "im busy trying to figure out where it's safe to piss" and also many who cross their eyes in order apply the murder rates against trans women of color to instead apply to all trans women, which i feel is pretty flatly racist, or at least reductive) and while im sure SOME people who believe in the value of that dichotomy are normal about it, in fact one was in my dms to Give me the context about the asks which i appreciate deeply i love u bestie, youd have to be a concussed coyote on quaaludes to pretend its not primarily used for transphobia against trans men. its used as a way to misgender and it has no basis in reality.

yall still wanna call me a sex pest pickme who should kill myself after this, be my guest. thats my stance, babe. i wont be responding to anythin else on this matter.

Ok episode 5,

- ooh arranged wedding moment. Hey guys, if it goes bad at least the wedding was gorgeous. Ope. My fault everyone sorry

- is bobby ever gonna apologize for like pushing buck against that wall bc that really scared me. I know it was a manifestation of trauma but damn

- love how black women across the world use the word wicked. It’s probably bc of like colonialism and specifically Christianity, but it’s a nice connection

- Athena you still have a job?? You weren’t even like suspended, you definitely have stuff to do other than running background checks on your friends bosses

- oh. Oh no… not the hen and Karen cheating arc, I haven’t even met Karen yet please no

- BUCKS FAMOUS ROOMATES! So these are the people everyone hates so much in fanfics

- Oh yeah Abby’s mom is missing

- hen your ex girl friend is in braids, back out slowly before she starts calling you gurl OMG, it’s too late

- what am I watching

- these aren’t even like real braids im so funny

- Carla’s little crush on buck is so fucking great, maybe they should get together

- aw wait this is buck and Abby meeting face to face for the first day time

- HOT PRIEST, hey girl

- bobby have you ever considered going to like real therapy, I don’t think the hot priest is a licensed psychologist

- HELP BOBBY DONT SCARE THE HOT PRIEST LIKE THAT HE ISNT LEGALLY REQUIRED TO TELL THE COPS AND HES ALL ALONE WITH YOU

- Bobby’s wife who’s name I never heard, I am so sorry. Is Bobby gonna cheat??? Oh. We’re pulling out ye old lantern to drink I see. Does he just come here to like nap, NO BOBBY YE OLD LANTERN

- the actor who plays Bobby has like a permanent bemused grin so while he’s breaking down to his wife about his addiction he kinda just seems confused and it’s a little funny

- checkovs ye old lantern

- oh damn bobby that was your fault wow. Oh he made the hot priest cry.

- yeah idk if the priest can handle this, maybe you should consider trauma therapy

- the priest: “god forgives you” Bobby: “gods forgiveness actually means nothing to me in this case” the priest: “well that is the entirety of my expertise”

- I don’t like when Bobby cries, it always seems to be ripped out of him😭 the actor is doing a great job

- Karen you are being very forgiving of your wife meeting her ex gf in prison, I fear you are too good for her

- aw buck calling Athena sergeant, love it

- buck being so astounded that Abby hasn’t had sex in a year is hilarious, meeting me would kill this man

- Abby you’re so cool omg, it’s like she can’t help but want to help others even when she’s going through so much. I feel like that’s the theme of her character

- Abby looks so cute in her little dungarees omg

- I can’t believe that manny’s just like dead rip I guess

- who the hell are these firefighters?? How does buck know them? Are they at the 118? I wonder what their lives are like

- Abby is calm cool and collected fr. What do jedis have to do with still hands? Anyways

- Abby’s mom! Thank you tattooed men, in my head you stay in contact with Abby forever and are good friends of hers

- aw Abby’s mom, even when she can’t remember stuff she still remembers that she wants her daughter to be happy. Gang I love Abby’s mom so much

- did not appreciate the fucking Abby’s mom joke, thanks writers but it was a little weird

- if we’re gonna keep talking about bucks sex addiction can we take it seriously at some point or what

- the “what are you high” scene in context is kinda dark bc bobby might’ve been actually scared he was high bc he sees himself in buck a bit

- aw I miss chimney

- girl he didn’t even laugh that much. Which is kinda dark. Bobby is like if Sayaka and Kyouka from Madoka Magica had a child and he was a white middle aged man. Like maybe they adopted him and just projected all their trauma onto him and now he’s repeating all their mistakes

- if they have phone sex I’m gonna freakout

- I’d like to personally thank the 911 tv show directors for cutting away from that bc I do not like bucks phone sex voice

[laisai]

i just finished 800+ chapters of a chinese webnovel after about 5 days of reading on and off

and now i dont know what to do

(i mean yes i have many things to do its just -- im very book hungover. im out of fuel. i need to resurface and recalibrate etc etc)

oh and i read most of it via machine translation... but it was mostly surprisingly understandable, aided by the fact i speak chinese so i can kinda fill in some gaps when things are translated off or wrong (im illiterate in chinese tho so fancier stuff still eludes me, RIP)

it was so good tho. it was not a romance at all despite for some reason being labeled one (probably bc the labeling system is dumb and sexist in cnovels and they designate anything with a female lead as romance 🙄)

like 800+ chapters in and not even the side characters have much to do with romance.

also fairly certain the guy i ship with the protagonist is not going to be romantic with her, and he's just going to be like, a platonic sibling, while the guy who the authors notes? says is the male lead is uh. i dont see how this is gonna work lol. i don't want him.

oh right it's ongoing so 👀 it seems to update once a day? I'll have to keep checking back...

also it's actually good story about a female monarch. like she's set up to be a "lord" from a young age due to her personal philosophies during a chaotic age, and she naturally draws talented individuals to work under her to support her rule, and it focuses on her combat prowess, her clever political scheming, her love of farming (this one plays a big role lol), and her desire to put the needs of the people first in an age where warlords rule and don't care at all for the lives of the lower class.

it's soooo much about her competence, but doesn't feel too OP to the point she's a Mary Sue, and there's a lot less... focus? I guess on the sort of typical infighting and backstabbing that "female monarch" stories have, plus the lack of romance so far really sets it all apart

oh and it's also about her making the world less sexist and letting women also do magic and serve as officials and soldiers and be less helpless and dependent on men

ugh, i just really liked it a lot!!!

there's 30+ chapters translated by people online rn and there's 814 chapters total in chinese, which you can find just by searching the chinese title

it's called Step Down, Let Me Come! by Fried Shiitake Mushrooms, and the novel updates link is here:

and the chinese title and author are:

author: 油爆香菇

title: 退下，让朕来

i might have to figure out how to get an acct and comment on the official site for the novel (and also figure out which is the official site lol) and get my comment translated. i want to beg the author to make the male lead the guy she has actually met and has chemistry with! 😭😭 unless i misunderstood some translated authors' notes, I'm pretty sure it's not him and im just 😠 no. i dont want that lol.

[roblogpiratebooties]

yes. please god just normalize it. gonna hijack this post for a moment, but still keep it related (sorry OP) Virginity is also grossly fetishized as well and frankly im sick of it. To talk personally for a second, i cant really enjoy sex at all due to both sensory, medical, and psychological issues. whenever someone finds out im a virgin, im treated either one of two ways: either they shame me and tell me how sad that is, or they immediately get gross and attempt to seduce me or some shit. like theyre the savior to help me. (please for the love of god do not be like "ya thats men for you". the people who did this were both men and women. its a societal issue, not a gender issue.) ive had to lie or at least keep it a secret from new partners. because the last time i opened up about being a virgin, a partner i had for about two months started being overly sexual to me. it was always "do you want to be treated right during your first time?" which frightened me. as i didnt trust her enough to actually hold up to the promise of actually not hurting me and stopping when i got sensory overload, but also because of other unrelated factors. (like the fact she was using me to cheat, but thats a different story.) people need to stop doing this shit. if you have a kink for virginity and arent pushing it on people who barely know, go for it. im not here to judge kinks here. but people really need to stop treating virginity as either "thats so sad" or "oh wow thats so hot". sex isnt that important in life, sometimes people just dont want it.

Honestly we really need to stop being weird about older adults who are virgins.

& not even purely in a "I'm sex repulsed &/or ace &/or not into the idea of so I willingly didn't have it" but also in a "I'm 80, I would've loved to have sex, but it takes two to tango & no one wanted to have sex w/ me-" and in a "I'm 60 & I wanted to, but I had anxiety so bad I just didn't put myself in a situation where I could've" way, etc. [But yes also the people who are like "I'm a virgin because I never wanted to have sex"]

Someone made a post about having their 40th birthday & still being a virgin & someone commented about how it was heartbreaking... [The OP talked about all their other achievements they reached & how they were happy - just never had sex btw. They weren't lamenting about how they never had sex]

You don't need sex/sexual intimacy to be happy. You don't need romantic intimacy to be happy. [Obviously having those may add happiness, but like you won't live a sad depressing empty life if you're single forever &/or never have sex]

[ewwgene-fitzherbert]

cryyyying over c/t//a right now

[shewhotellsstories]

i really dont wanna annoy you but you post about racism in fandom sometimes so i thought you'd be the right person to ask. i hope this doesnt come off as expecting u to be my teacher. yesterday someone said they didnt trust white zk shippers and i thought it was mean but then people started sending the them all these nasty messages and i started to worry maybe op was right. honestly a lot of this stuff is pretty new for me. i think our fandom is inclusive & unlike the rest of the atla fandom we actually like katara. but i'm trying to learn.

why would it be a problem that a lot of zk fics have katara looking after zuko? i always just felt like he needed it more bc he was abused and kataras better at dealing with feelings and she's good at taking care of people. is fire lady katara still ok? is there racism in our fandom? there are a lot of woc zks and i've seen them get hate for it. but the messages op got were pretty bad too. i know i'm asking a lot of questions i just hate the thinking that we might be as bad as the z*kka stans have been saying all year.

This is gonna get long so I’m just gonna jump right in. When I listened to fansplaining’s episode on fandom racism one of the guests said white fans who can acknowledge that fandom racism exists tend to frame it as “just a few bad apples” and get caught up in worrying about not looking like a “bad apple” instead of making fandoms spaces that aren’t hostile for BIPOC. Jag offs hiding behind anon to tell women of color who ship zutara that we have a creepy fetish for imperialism and colonialism suck, but your biggest concern really shouldn’t be the optics or if you can claim superiority over zukka stans.

Yeah the “katara’s a homophobe” nonsense didn’t come from our end of the fandom, but it feels naive at best or dishonest at worst to act like the zutara fandom is uniquely immune to fandom racism. A creator I follow made the excellent point that allyship conditional upon if a poc talks "nicely" about racism is still white supremacy. I believe poc need to be allowed to vent and be salty or angry without being tone-policed. I definitely have my days where I’m like “ugh white people,” or "why must white fans be like this," so I get where the OP was coming from. Ironically the folks that sent them anon hate proved their point. You can always count on hit dogs to hollar.

Fandom is only escapist for some people. It doesn’t exist in a vacuum so you’ll find racism in fandom because there’s racism in the world. Navigating that gets exhausting. There are certain things I enjoy, but for the sake of my sanity I'll only talk about it with friends in real life or only follow fans of color. Before I follow white fans I need to see first that they’re not the kind of person who inspires posts about fandom racism. A good friend of mine loves Star Wars, Kpop, and gaming but after years of attempts at calling in she decided that she’d only interact with woc in those spaces. Again, you get tired.

ATLA wasn’t on my radar until last year so I definitely haven’t read every zutara fic out there but I have noticed a lot of fics do tend to have Katara being the one comforting and supporting Zuko. It’s not inherently wrong of course, it’s just in the grand scheme of things in fiction woc are often cast as eternal caretakers and confidants in fiction:

“How characters of color are portrayed in fanworks, especially fanfiction, is worse than the actual films. They are portrayed as supportive, almost invisible understudies. Any characteristics which they possess in the [MCU] films are stripped and given to other white characters. It is not only erasure. It’s a theft of identity.

Characters of color are positioned within storylines to support the main, white characters. Even within the slash biracial pairings, the character of color is underdeveloped and in a position of servitude within the relationship.”

TheNavyLanguage, Fansplaining

As the quote above points out this honestly happens in a lot of fandoms. I’ve read fanfic for books, movies, tv shows, and comics and I can’t help but notice that in fics the writers often have the non-white character or-- if neither character is white--the darker skinned character being the care-taker, the bodyguard, or the person who is performing all the emotional labor. It’s not inherently wrong to have a character of color have a nurturing personality, you just have to remember that since Black and brown folks have been saddled with narrative after narrative where we exist to serve leaning into dynamics where the non-white or darker skinned character is providing all the emotional support and getting very little in return has some unfortunate implications.

It’s not better if instead of being defined as the avatar’s girl, Katara’s the fire lord’s girl. Part of the appeal of zutara for me is the idea that Katara could lay down some of her burdens and get some much needed support. I always imagine she’d have some major issues after the war.

"i always just felt like he needed it more bc he was abused and kataras better at dealing with feelings and she's good at taking care of people."

I’m going to push back against that statement. Yes, Katara didn't grow up in an abusive household but she has pain and trauma of her own. In fact I’d argue that her believing it’s her job to take care of everyone is rooted in her trauma. Katara needs support and care just as much as anyone else does.

Having read a lot of fics revolving around abuse victims in different fandoms I’ve observed that if fans feel a character’s trauma wasn’t properly addressed in canon, they’ll give them a lot of TLC in fics. But again, reducing the non-white or darker-skinned character to a glorified therapist has some implications.

I feel like the Fire Lady Katara headcanon's been talked to death so long-story short, it’s not inherently racist but it can problematic if it's not clear that Katara is Katara of the Water Tribe wherever she lives. Fics and art where her crown has a crescent moon, she wears blue, or Zuko wears blue when she's in red are the executions I'm fondest of.

When in doubt just listen when poc talk about uncomfortable trends in the fandom. Give fansplaining’s episodes on fandom racism a listen here, here, and here. And very loosely quoting my favorite professor just remember that if a marginalized person says they’re distrustful of a group of people or institution it usually happens after a lot of bad experiences. Don’t center your own comfort and hurt feelings.

“If we truly believe in fandom’s progressive credentials, then perhaps it is necessary for us to listen to critiques that make us uncomfortable rather than those that keep arguing that the status quo is perfectly acceptable—even as there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. Perhaps then we will be able to come at these, yes, these very complex and nuanced discussions with the type of openness and good faith that is required for them to succeed, rather than approaching them with hostility.”

-Rukmini Pande, Fansplaining

[antiloreolympus]

10 Anti LO Asks

1. wasn't it literal myth canon the cycle of overthrowing the kings stopped because of zeus swallowing metis? because it was prophesied she would give birth to a son who would overpower zeus, but the child ended up being athena who is super loyal to zeus. so rachel does enough research to know zeus swallowed metis to make him look bad, but purposely ignored the context and the results of it to push her stupid plot along? i thought she respected the mythology, why is she purposely lying now?

2. um. why did demeter's coat change colors entirely in that post 💀 im begging them to use color sheets thats just ridiculous omg

3. ok so does that post not just confirm rhea is dead then? gaia and metis too? or as dead as you can be as immortals? big fan of murdering all the supposed super powerful women (who are still easily overpowered?? and forced into marriage?? fuck off) for the sake of making persephone special because she wont be eaten and will ~choose to marry~ instead. maybe persephone will eat kronos instead and be even more super mega op now. i wouldnt put it pass rachel to do that.

4. More so to add to the "fertility goddess" stuff. Gaia was the EARTH'S fertility, not biological. She's the OG mother godess, sure, but her domain was never about childbirth. Rhea was the Goddess of Cycles and Menstruation, NOT Earthly fertility, and Hera, as that post said, was also the fertility around children, so neither of them are the same as Gaia, nor is Gaia the same as then. That post is 100% right in Rachel's lack of actually saying what "fertility" is only  makes it more confusing.

5. RS being so openly in fan spaces is a huge problem the comic. In her need to "make the fans happy" the story becomes weaker because of  far too much fan input. We saw this directly in the walking back of the AOW because some fans were upset P wasn't "being their cinnamon roll" and now she comes across as a weaker character for it. We're also seeing this now in potential retcons to P's age and trying to redeem Apollo. I get it's to appease them, but a confident writer shouldn't have to do this.

6. I feel like the combo of "modern setting" with "learning about the world" really doesnt work in LO, because if it was an ancient fantasy setting, then yes we would like to learn more about it because we have no familiarity with it, but in making the Underworld just a carbon copy of any modern day city, it makes the "Persephone learns about the world" seem really boring? Like her learning about an ancient kingdom of the dead is interesting, her learning about what a movie theater is is not.

7. This isnt even purely an LO thing but the most frustrating thing to me is just knowing there's so many well done comics on Webtoons that if they were given even a quarter of the attention and promotion the company gives to LO that those comics would also blast off in success too. Why do you think Suitor Armor, Boyfriends, and Everything is Fine all skyrocketed into success so fast, especially the latter two? It's because the company promotes them. I wish they'd do that to more of them.

8. deadass do not get the stans who go "if you dont like it then dont read" to stop any critique because like ok, if you dont like our criticism then dont read it then 🤷🏿‍♀️ seems pretty simple to me. its a two way street.

9. I really hate the "you guys just overanalysis  everything it's just entertainment 🙄" like .. ok? Why are people not allowed to have opinions and critiques? Because we all know if we held these same fans to this, they'd get pissed they couldn't critique what they wanted (which trust me, LO fans LOVE to hate on PJO, TSOA, etc) The policing of others who dare to not think exactly how they do and saying critically consuming media is "ruining the fun" says way more about them than any critic, tbh.

10. TBH i sorta wonder if LO would be so much better if before it was published WT said it could only have a certain number of episodes. Like what if it was only allowed 100 eps? So much filler and unneeded plots would be cut completely and the actual focus would have to be on developing HXP or else it'd end incomplete. Like sorry, the majority of the comic could easily be cut and it would be so much better for it. Letting Rachel add more and more to it only makes it a lesser product in the end.

It's so important to remember that Gwyn hasn't showed interest (romantically) in Azriel because even elriels get into the gwynriel propaganda. the other day I saw a post where op were comparing their situation to aragorn/eowyn/arwen and I was like whaaaaat? Gwyn is not eowyn, she's not mad in love with Azriel lol. Not even elain/Lucien/Azriel is a love triangle at this point, but you know people will never accept that Azriel wants elain and Elain wants Azriel and that Gwyn has weird powers.

Yes, and I think people (willingly) forget that SJM doesn't write love triangles. Especially love triangles between 2 women and 1 man. In her books, it's women who decide, not men. As an example, Feysand and Tamlin--not really a love triangle, because Feyre made her decision on who she wants to be with. Tamlin and Rhys sort of fought over her, but it was mostly indirect, with Tamlin making dumb decisions all over the place. Same with Aelin and let's say Chaol and Dorian--same thing, it was Aelin's decision between those two, and then, down the line, it was still her decision regarding Rowan, for example. So if someone thinks that two girls are going to be duking it out over Az, I think they will be disappointed, and don't really understand SJM's writing.

Even with the Aragorn, Eowyn and Arwen comparison, it's mostly based on the movies, and not the book, because Tolkien didn't emphasize any kind of love triangle, and certainly didn't spend a lot of time on female characters either. Of course at the end, Eowyn and Arwen never met, so calling it a triangle is a stretch.

But Gwyn is not Eowyn--she is not a warrior princess in love with Azriel! Also, I dont know what is so difficult to understand--Azriel is interested in Elain. That's it. Just because you don't like it, it doesn't change the fact that he wants Elain. Elain is probably the only person in the world that makes him pause, listen, sit down and talk (to her). He generally strikes me as a guy who does give two fucks about 'expectations of him' or requirements or whatever. That's why he talks back to Rhys and Feyre and Amren. But it's different with Elain. People can project whatever they feel like onto him and his feelings, but the fact remains the same.

It is what it is.

[rodeorun]

i have to write this before i break down in tears from that ending sooo....

This perfectly captured the internalized shame one can carry from being a tall woman so well. Lines like

"You come down the steps and take small steps, trying to diminish yourself among the crowd. Even some of the men aren’t of a height with you. Your bonnet feels more and more like some beacon to illuminate your stature." From what we feel within, to parts like "Your eyes meet those of another. A man who smirks and nudges another. They both peer over at you with a gleam of mocking in their faces. " that show how others see us.

As for the nsfw, now i drown myself in non-con, but that was..... one of the most straight up r*pe scenes I have ever read. Goodness. There was nothing sexy or sensual about it. It was sex, but it was fear. My stomach clenched and is still in knots and my head was dizzy. I felt the rough scrape of the bench beneath reader, the excruciating pain of the first time i was penetrated and not ready for it. I hate virginreaders in fiction and how they are fetishized, how they reinforce this male perspective of purity culture and tie it to women's worth, how after her cherry is popped, she is used goods and no longer desirable. That selfish greed a man feels to be the first. She is nothing more than a tally. I pushed myself through this nonetheless and im so glad i did because oh boy- my head is spinning!

Steve initially came off as this slightly mischievous, mostly eccentric man. Quoting hamlet in the gardens, how charming that was. Truly a mockery to the following moniker he eventually calls Cora and Reader. I even had my hopes up that he himself was a virgin when he said they would learn together, but thats a foolish thought now.

And gosh i am so fucking charmed by every sentence here. I really feel so dizzy as if i was transported to this world for a few moments. So vivid and an almost lyrical style of writing. You can pick out any sentence from this, and write a page on it's meaning.

I cant get over how pungent that r*pe scene was, how it instilled terror and fear in me. Reader by no means enjoyed. She endured for the hope of love. But she did not enjoy it. I fear for the slight foreshadowing that she will be pregnant 😣.

And the ending, yes the ending.

"I am honored," he holds her small hand tight, "to have at last a fine lady to keep my hearth."

That killed me. Its really the little details and me, me who has huge hands and feet, whos ankles show when i wear maxi dresses, who gets stared at when i go out, who's had almost every 'best friend' i had date the men i liked because they were tiny beauties and i was too tall and embarrassing to be with. Oh lord to see the man you just gave your first to, watching him hold the hand of the woman who is everything society makes you think your should be. If the ending was a nail in my heart, just simple the use of the word 'small' was the hammer coming down on that nail.

Fuck you steve, i hope he gets a revenge worse that death. Virginity is something you can never give back or replace, and I hope his punishment is likewise to such a disabling degree. I think cutting his dick off would be a start 🤔😂

I'm engared, ensnared by my own hatred for this man. This is exactly why i dont read angst. I want to claw the the rage from my chest until i bleed enough for Steve to choke on it.

And THIS fucking masterpiece

"

“I know,” you say through trembling lips, “I am not a fool, sister.”

“No, merely on the shelf,” she says sourly.

You wince at her cutting remark. Any lady would shrivel at the words. It seems despite your stature, there is a shelf too high for you to reach." Holy shit. Holy. Shit. I gasped. Out loud. Op idk what water you're drinking but it has you spitting poetry disguised as prose

This was SUCH an experience and tbh im going to have to recoup and come back to read this a few more times just to try and take in the full beauty of this fic. Like a movie i dont get tired of watching. Tysm op for writing something that let me feel all of this. Honestly halfway thru writing this i almost rage quit but i saw there was a sequeal and read it, and it gave me the strength to write all this knowing that this wasn't the end LOL.

Meet me on the playground at 3pm, Rogers.

Graceless

The tails of the ribbon tickle along your collarbone. You snatch them away from your skin, tempted to untie them altogether. Instead, you twist them together, the large brim of your bonnet casting a rather farcical shadow upon the ground. Even in silhouette, you tower over the other ladies, a disparity which cannot be attributed to the distortion of light.
