i think Dennis, like many other sexual assault survivors, takes the mentality of "if sex doesn't mean anything, then nothing was taken from me." His conquest of sleeping with as many women as possible is a futile attempt to rewrite the narrative of his assault, to gain control of a situation in which he was powerless.

But sex with Mac.... sex with Mac would mean something. Dennis would be forced to acknowledge Ms. Klinsky violated him in a way that matters. He would have to acknowledge he hurt himself trying to cope by neglecting his need for intimacy.

It's not enough she stole something from Dennis as a teenager, but she also stole his life afterward. Dennis finally has the opportunity to fully be with the man he loves, and he just can't, because that means she won.

for you, i would ruin myself chapter 1: remus pov

“Fuck, Sirius. What are you doing?”

A pathetic attempt at grasping some sort of resolve, the last sliver of restraint that he had left, slipping between his fingers. Because he knew this was wrong, that he’d be shattering something good. Something nice that’d replaced the burning hole of Sirius that was left in his heart. 

But Remus was weak and Sirius was spitting, holding his gaze as a thick glob of drool dripped past his parted lips. Closed his fist round and pressed down, slick fingers coating his cock.

Tilted his head and smirked. “Do you want to fuck me, Moony?”

Things I wish I could tweet but won’t

Heartbreak is realizing that you drove everyone away and now the only friends who don’t hate your guts are hundreds of miles away, while you’re just lonely as fuck.

I have so many ideas and so many projects but so little time and so little ways of making them happen that it depresses me to no end, not like a spleen, but like an actual depression.

I wish we could do something tonight, because I don’t trust myself to be lonely tonight and I really need someone.

I’ve never wanted to cry after a work day as much as I want to cry tonight.

I want to reach out and ask for help but I don’t want to bother you and end up either like the girl who cry wolf again or that you ignore me.

I need a break, even though I just started again. I need a break so bad.

I suck and I know it’s the angry voice talking but today it’s motherfucking loud and I’m not sure how to quiet it.

I don’t know how to get out of this slump and I’m scared I’ll stay there forever.

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.

My actual favorite part of wisdom saga is telemachus trying to lean against Athena (he thought about that for .03 seconds and then was like nah !!! :D she's my friend not the goddess of war!!! Good to see that the audacity is running strong in odysseus's family) and then just passed threw her and fell on the floor. And then Athena did not move at all!!! And just stood there looking at him.
