The Truths of Things

[Owlcatober 2024 - Prompt 1: Teatime - @owlcatober]

Words: 736; Characters: Camellia Gwerm

She had never much cared for tea.

As much a staple of the nobility as it was, she should, by all accounts, have loved it—at least, as a symbol of status. It had distinctions between its differences in quality much as class itself did—upper to lower, noble to peasant—and boasted of pedigree and rarity much the same. It, supposedly, had subtleties in its aromas and tastes that told truths down to the very nature of its soil and seed and pampered care, of the nuance that only the most sophisticated of palates could discern; in a way, like telling the difference between something real and of a pretender—of something or someone truly noble, blood as blue as fresh tartare, or of someone merely hiding behind a gilded mask.

Perhaps that was the reason. It could very well have been the flavor: too delicate for her sharpened tongue, too earthy like the dirt her porcelain fingers refused to be soiled by, too floral; a reminder of the namesake she'd long despised. It could have been any of these excuses, but they, ultimately, did not matter. What did, was that she had never had a taste for it to begin with, and, in her mind, it was because she had not been born with it. She never could have been. A gilded mask, no matter how fine, no matter how opulent and wealthy and rich, was only ever in the end a lie.

Camellia Gwerm hated tea.

And the man beneath her reeked of it.

It was all the excuse she'd needed when he'd approached her, all dazzling smile above his shining armor, itself decorated with wrought flowers and leaves. Desperation and relief had radiated from him upon spotting her, all alone in that quiet corner of Drezen she'd come to find solace in, much like the wretched stench of tea that suffused his very presence and threatened to wrinkle her nose. She'd needed no other reason to settle for him, and getting him alone had been a trivial matter as always for even as nobles were nobles, men were men.

He'd said his name for naught use to her at all and when she'd given him her own, a demure giggle, and an innocent question asking about the design of his armor, his fate had been sealed.

Men, would always be, men.

It didn't matter if they came from some long pedigree of merchants who'd made their wealth off of vaunted teas from far off Casmaron—"Lovely at this time of year at our sah-ray", which she'd gathered to mean some sort of villa. It didn't matter if they were so wealthy and wanted for naught that it seemed they could very well bathe in the swill. Men were men, it was only a simple task of getting them talking about themselves for long enough that they would soon find themselves on their backs, chest straddled by her supple thighs, and idiotic, naive grins on their faces.

Her nose finally did wrinkle, then. The mustiness of the old, forgotten basement only seemed to make his stench worse, and the thought of a bath—preciously rare, hot, clean water—soiled and tainted with leaves filled her with disgust. Dried. Musky. Old leaves from the dirt. That's what tea really was, and every noble, every so-called 'refined palate,' was merely lying to themselves in mutual harmony about it.

And just as tea was merely leaves, so too was this man merely meat.

She would've breathed a sigh of relief as that wretched floral stench gave way immediately to the dominance of fear and blood, but her exhilaration, as always, triumphed over all else. How swiftly she'd pulled the stiletto from her boot, and how even swifter still she'd brought it forth and down that he hadn't had time to scream. Only now as the life and light left his eyes did they become colored by shock and then terror in realization—twas a delight she always savored with glee. And, only then, did he possibly see in his final moments what was her true sultry smile, and hear her true husky, ravenous laugh.

Camellia Gwerm hated tea.

She hated pretending even more.

The gilded mask fell away. Tea was leaves, but meat was meat, blood was blood, and she was Camellia Gwerm, whose tongue had not been made to savor the taste of anything delicate.

I just found someone saying that misandry doesn't exist! bro, this really exists!! Men also suffer a lot, especially at the hands of bad women! my friend was almost SA by his own mother! To think that there are people who say that this doesn't exist coming from another woman makes me extremely disgusted…

For those who call me "pick me", shut up, none of you know me! I have ZERO attraction to men! I'M ASEXUAL! If you think I'm "obsessed with men's attention" it just proves that you don't know anything about me!

I'm an antisocial recluse, I hate attention and I'd rather be locked in my room! I don't care about a man's opinion of me! Another thing, I was once in a toxic relationship with a boy, but I ended it because I couldn't stand being with him and having him constantly ask for attention and "photos". I just have empathy and I'm open-minded! block me, insult me, call me pick-me and all that nonsense! I'm not going to waste my time with you.

Is it just me or do a decent percentage of Tumblr users have a weird hatred of cis men? I swear every time I see any sort of discussion about minority rights or whatever at least one person will go "gosh at least it isn't cis men, they're the worst", and it's like, what the fuck?

And every post I see call this out only ever does so by relating it back to trans people instead of the fact that sexism is evil on its own

Anyone know why this happens or did the fucking terfs win?

[chairsarefornerds]

Posts that make me wish I had been shot in the head instead of reading them.

Every day I wake up and am provided new justifications for my misandry

I knew about that movement[4B], but didn't give a fuck...

Then I saw your video and I was like... ah... The privilege is privileging... [person was claiming they didn't know about it, while living in SK]

Like, when privileged people speak from a privileged place, it's kind of mind numbing. In a lot of sentences you uttered, you basically invalidated a lot of people. I guess it's how you say, letting people live a life of a 'equality' is just a fantasy.

.... cute... But not cute at all.

Must be so nice to have grown up with a really loving father who showed you nothing be sweetness and such. I hope he was like that with everyone around him and not just you and your brother.

[and out of pure fear, those people he might have hurt 'will NEVER' speak on the fucked up shit your father did. I hope I'm very wrong about that.]

I tried to sit there and listen to your entire shpiel and got nothing but 'pick me' vibes from it because well... You yourself said you were a pick me while not saying you're a pick me. lol. You said you wanted to be a wife and not lose out on the 'marriage age bracket'.

Apparently you've never seen some people who meet each other way after the 'marriage age bracket' thing you kept speaking of. lol.

That's how I know, you invalidated a shit ton of people. Congratulations. *claps ironically*

I still don't agree with you. End of story.

I'm sure the people who follow the '4B movement' are just quiet about it in your country, because they know they'll get privileged people like you, invalidating their stance. It's kind of the same shit that happens with 'Feminism' over there.

I'm sure there are tons of people holding in all the shit they could say about the 'nicest' people ever, just because of pure fear.

Speaking up to bring down monsters is the scariest shit we as humans can try to do, but also the bravest.

Kidnapping a guy, keeping him in my basement with nothing but restraints and a mattress. Forcing him to wear a dog collar. Forcing him to be naked while I get to wear clothes. Slapping his balls, kicking his balls, edging his cock, forcing him to cum multiple times in a row until he's crying. Using his face as a sex toy, using his cock as a sex toy.

Drugging him, spanking him, smothering him, cutting him, forcing him to eat me out, drinking his blood, having him drink my blood. Warping his mind into him saying that women are better than men.

And soon enough, he'll enjoy it 💞

Trans Misandrist

Trans-Harmful ID where one feels as if they are a misandrist for any reason.

Anyone can use this label for any reason they want. This is an inclusionary label, and everyone is permitted to use this label for anything they want. (Fetish/Kink, trauma, political, or personal reasons are fine idrc)

(This is a re-coin because I didnt agree with the original flag and original coin post.)

Description: Tiktok from user heckyesconcrete stitching user lruperez7. The first video shows a girl looking confused with a flashing color filter and the caption "What do men have in their body in place of a uterus? Are their other organs just bigger/shifted differently? Or is there like... free space?" A different girl says "I'm really into anatomy so I have a real answer for this! Here you can see the male anatomy and it has all the same things that the female anatomy does, lungs pancreas gallbladder all that good stuff, but right here you can see there's a little spot where the uterus would be and in the male anatomy, that's where the fucking audacity is-"
