Its our kink sugah we’ve been like this for years.”

Poor magneto has to come to terms with the fact that the younger generation has some how made chastity and refusing to have sex/denying sex kinky and hes not sure how to feel about that.

sarie ethnicity musings (with historical context!!)

It’s hard to overstate just how much Sarie’s Jewishness impacts her as a character, specifically how she views herself in relation to other people. Afrikaans-speaking Jews (Boerejode) lived mainly in rural areas where knowledge of Afrikaans would be needed in daily life (mainly the rural Cape and the Transvaal). However, the biggest waves of Jews immigration came from Lithuania in the 1880s and 1890s, followed by an influx of German Jews in the 1930s. Most of these immigrants (with the exception of people like Sarie’s mom who married into Afrikaans-speaking families) settled in cities like Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban, where knowledge of Afrikaans wasn’t needed. So right off the bat, Sarie is alienated from the vast majority of her community by virtue of being Afrikaans-speaking.

But that doesn’t mean she belongs among the Afrikaans-speakers, either! White Afrikaans-speaking (Afrikaner) identity is fundamentally tied to adherence to a deeply-rooted Calvinist tradition (non-white Afrikaans-speakers are generally split between Calvinism and Islam). For a nationalist hardliner, it’s impossible for a Jew (or even a Catholic or an irreligious person) to be considered an Afrikaner, regardless of how White or Afrikaans-speaking they are. And in the 1930s and 1940s, these kinds of hardliners were everywhere.

The intensification of Afrikaner nationalism in this period would culminate in the accession to power of the National Party in 1948, which would go on to enjoy both the near-unanimous support of Afrikaners as well as considerable support (albeit less fervent and at times more tacit) from white English-speakers for the next forty-odd years. Expanding on the structures left behind by English colonial rule, the successive National Party governments would institutionalize the draconian policies of mass disenfranchisement, arbitrary displacement, censorship, economic disempowerment, imprisonment, and segregation — all enforced through brutal violence against non-white populations — that we know as apartheid.

Sarie is born at the tail end of 1921, meaning she comes of age in the mid-to-late 1930s. This is where it’s necessary to elaborate on the role that the Depression played in the upswing of Afrikaner nationalism. Lord Kitchener’s scorched-earth policy in the second half of the 2nd Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) destroyed thousands of Afrikaner farmsteads across the northern Cape, Orange Free State, and Transvaal. Afrikaners had always been an agrarian people; in 1947, less than thirty percent of all Afrikaners worked outside of agriculture. The loss of land forced a majority of mid- and small-scale Afrikaner farmers to either become sharecroppers for English and wealthier Afrikaner landlords, or go into mine or factory work in the cities and towns along the Rand. And as in all societies, these groups were hit hard by the Depression, leaving many Afrikaner workers, poor to begin with, destitute (farmers, especially wool farming families like Sarie's, would also be significantly affected). Suddenly, Afrikaners found themselves living in the same slums, standing in the same job lines, and eating the same food as their Black counterparts — and this is what sparked alarm in the middle-class and wealthy Afrikaner establishment.

Fearing that Afrikaner destitution would erode the myth of white supremacy which legitimized minority rule (or, to take a more Marxist perspective, that the poor Afrikaners would gain class consciousness), Afrikaner nationalists and their English supporters spent untold amounts of time and effort trying to rectify this supposed reversal of the “natural” racial hierarchy. This would culminate in the Carnegie Commission of Investigation on the Poor White Problem in South Africa, a 1932 report by the Carnegie Corporation which recommended racial segregation as a solution to the “problem” Throughout the 1930s, Afrikaner nationalists would appeal to the mythical Voortrekker (pioneer) past to foster increased national affiliation. This would culminate in the 1938 Voortrekker Centenary, which saw Afrikaners reenact the trek from the Cape to the interior taken by their ancestors a century earlier.

Sarie would have felt this increase in nationalism acutely, not just as someone whose religious affiliation excluded her from the mainstream Afrikaner milieu, but as a woman. The ideal Afrikaans woman, the “boeremeisie” (farm girl) or “volksmoeder” (mother of the people), was, in the words of author Lize van Robbreck’s high school principal, “proper, humble, and chaste.” Van Robbreck was the daughter of Catholic Flemish parents, and while she had spoken Afrikaans her whole life and been raised on a steady diet of folk dance and traditional songs, in her Afrikaans high school she realized that her Catholic heritage fundamentally differentiated her from her peers. “I could never be one of them, no matter how hard I tried.” Sarie, as both a Jew and as a woman who is neither proper, humble, nor chaste, already finds herself distinctly isolated from the other girls at her school.

And yet, at the same time, I think that Sarie does, to an extent, resent this exclusion. While she frowns on the racial discrimination and antisemitism inherent in Afrikaner nationalism of this era, and as much as she takes pride in going against the grain (manifesting in an admittedly not-like-other-girls attitude towards her fellow Waasies), a part of her is still desperately searching after the validation from her peers, the validation of inclusion, that she was never going to be able to receive. This, I think, is what fuels her continuous affirmation of her South African — and Afrikaans/Boer — identity amongst her fellow soldiers in the SAS. In the SAS there’s nobody who can call her out, who can deny her Boer identity — even if it’s just by virtue of the fact that they don’t know enough to say otherwise. However, I don’t think that Sarie herself would realize that this is what’s pushing her — to her, she’s just explaining her identity with the same aggression she has always had to use to justify herself. I think that there's a reason that Sarie only ever refers to herself as a Boer or a Boerejood, and never, ever, as an Afrikaner.

I’m probably going to follow this up with a whole other essay just about her gender but I spent all of today flying home and there’s hockey on TV and I’m tired so this is all you’re getting for now. Thanks for reading this absolute fucking thesis of an OC post <3

Today we have another love story ❤️ In Dragon Age 2, I wanted to romance the elf boy 🧝🏽‍♂️ again (Fenris), but I couldn't deal with his angst, so my Hawke ended up with Anders 🧙‍♂️ That didn't go well at all, Anders being executed and all.

So in my last canon playthrough, my humorous rogue Hawke is in love with the unpredictable Isabela 😍 Who did you romance in Dragon Age 2?

you know how rogue’s ring looks like it’s got a thing with wings on it which would make sense cus he’s with the birds on his bird-shaped-ship?

that type of ring could be considered a signet ring

or a cygnet ring

he named himself ‘rogue’

and probably considered himself his family’s ‘ugly duckling’.

Ugh....it's kinktober and I haven't posted shit. Time for some kinky thoughts

Warning: chastity kink, locktober discussion

Given the lack of touching is a fundamental aspect of their relationship I can absolutely see chastity kink being used as an aspect of their sexual relationship, as a way to feel in control of the situation. Like they are choosing not to touch.

Remy suggests it. Acting like it's a game, a challenge, giving her his key to his own cock cage and letting her tease him with it cause the denial has always been appealing. Instead of her having to say no to him, now it's a power thing. She GETS to say no. She gets to control his ability to have sex and when, and he's enjoying that she does. Getting teased and denied and the frustration is hot to him.

And she gets to enjoy it too. To watch how flustered she makes him and knowing he likes it. Seeing him on his knees begging her to give him some friction down there. Watching him squirm as she's sitting fully clothed in his lap after an extended period of denial makes him look like he'll come undone any minute by this little bit of contact. Knowing he chose to put this power in her hand and wants her to deny him cause it's fun to be made to wait to him. There's a delicious bitter sweet pleasure in watching her pretend to consider freeing him only to be told no. And she can see it in his eyes.

Then when she does let him out and get to watch him go to town on himself, it's heavenly. He makes a show of it at times she feels like she's dating a porn star. Or when she keeps him in the cage but pegs him till he is having dry orgasms after weeks of being pent up. It's magical. She can almost feel his pleasure herself as she watches. Or getting to see how simply her gloved hand after ten days of self denial is enough to get him to shudder with each touch. They find exploiting the fact that they have to deny themselves full contact makes the seemingly smaller gestures so so much more sensational.

It's all entirely consensual. Either one could say they want to stop at any time. If Gambit was genuinely feeling uncomfortable he can say as much and the game is over. But he's been playing the waiting game for years already in a way. He's a pro at it, and this way she gets to play too.
