context: this is Yoojin's reaction when he sees Sung Hyunje for the first time after losing his memory of him... is this what love at first sight looks like?

"Aye nice wee thing. 5 previous owners right enough but low mileage. Hasnae been taken rough and wild but has the capabilities I think. Big back end, nice condition, technically could take 5 but it'd be a tight squeeze. Couple of scuffs but I like them, gies character."

So I've been wondering about one particuar point on the "Jiang Cheng marriage recquirement" list and it's the one about low cultivation.

Now on its face, except for the "must be nice to jin ling" point, the whole thing just looks like the most standard list of "ideal wife characteristics under a patriarchal society." naturally beautiful, graceful and obedient, coming from a good family, voice not too loud, etc. This leads to either the interpretation that jiang cheng really wants that (doubt dot png) or just... put all the most stereotypical things on a list even though that's not what he really wants.

In that context "cultivation must not be too high" sounds like a typical "men are scared of women who are smarter/stronger" thing. you know, the dudes who feel 'intimidated' when their wife or girlfriend makes more money than them.

...Except wasn't Yanli openly mocked for her low cultivation? Like, wasn't one of the reasons Jin Zixuan was such an ass to her initially because he shallowly assumed her lower cultivation made her an unworthy marriage candidate? Jin Guangshan may hate women who can read but society overal doesn't give the impression that high cultivation in women is seen as something undesirable. I mean... a wife that never looks like she's over 20 even as she starts aging? yeah I have no problem believing a misogynistic society is okay with high cultivation.

So if it's not there just to fit the stereotypical standard of an ideal wife...

Jiang Cheng, are you just describing your sister?

LIke?? Every single point on this list applies to Yanli. All of them. I don't mean this in a freudian incest-y way but in a "jiang cheng are you so unaware of what you want in a partner you just took the only woman you've had an unambiguously good relationship with and hoped no one would notice???" way. Does he know the difference in what you should like about your sister and what you should like in a spouse? Is he even aware he's doing this? Jiang Cheng answer meeeee.

Odysseus of Troy is a fic I'd would LOVE to read! Also٫ whats the dynamic between Telemachus and Paris?

I've been mulling this over for a while & Paris....kinda reminds me of Curly from Mouthwashing, if that makes sense?

Like on the surface-level, both are nice guys & in decent positions (one's a captain & the other a prince). However, not only are they people pleasers who lack a backbone, they're also stuck in an environment that doesn't help them. In Curly's case, it's a shitty capitalist company & endless lonely deep space whereas for Paris, he's a pawn of the Gods & Fates themselves. They are multifaceted characters who're victims, enablers/accomplices, stuck in a vicious cycle of authority & lack of autonomy, etc.

So, keeping all this in mind, once Telemachus is old enough, Paris is nice to him. He spoils him, dotes on him, plays with him....but ultimately, it's Ody who knows Telemachus' favourite color, quirks & tells. Telemachus might perk up when he spots Paris, but he'll always go to Odysseus first.

Plus, if you've seen my previous asks, Paris has also used Telemachus' life as leverage against Odysseus more than once. Does Paris regret it? Yes, he does feel some remorse. But it's just more mistakes stacked on many he's already committed. So, he'll make the kid smile. If he smiles, Ody smiles too, and it's something, right?

In conclusion, Odysseus sees Telemachus as his son.

Though Paris would insist the same, he ultimately sees Telemachus as another god-given gift he has to care for, lest he spurns them.

Odysseus and Helen's entire relationship can be summed up by Lovely Night from La La Land if both parties were completely and utterly serious about the fact that they feel absolutely nothing for each other.

this final batch of npcs is brought to you by a great beautiful he/him butch woman

hey just a thought but what if ivory and serapter cuddled in bed and ivory always wakes up with serapter directly on top of her stomach and she can’t move and he’s like a cat and they’re almost late for work

bonus points if this causes the other servants to think they’re together bc they’re always late to things and one day somebody (mysty if she hadn’t been L ratioed) checks in on them and ivory’s just staring at the door like “god please get this man off me he’s adorable but he’s heavy”

geralt is also a most real depiction of good quality fatherhood and great girldad representation because EVEN THOUGH witchers don’t even experience aging at the same rate as non-GMO humans, EVEN THOUGH it would be “biologically impossible,”

geralt having had been raising a pre-teen girl for maybe a few months to a year already “gave the impression of having aged,” his “face slashed by wrinkles.” the emotional toll on this man from raising she-devil ciri

and this is only the very beginning of the saga. BEFORE everything goes to shit. the wrinkles have set in

Honestly the only explanation for Paul's sexual situation to me is that he's a straight man, a straight woman, a gay man and a lesbian all at the same time somehow

He's Literally Everything. a man of many faces and voices and they all culminate in that thing
