#mmmmmmmmmm snakes

wow i wonder what won the poll

Addition to snakes-lines-limbs: when in 9.607ff. they find a spring but it is full of snakes. A spring (fons) is also a source.

[Trans. Jane Wilson Joyce]

So maybe it is something about how you can use the Pharsalia as a source. It is harmless. Come closer, the snakes do not bite, I promise.

We all know what happens a hundred lines later.

[garland-on-thy-brow]

I've just got to the snakes in the Pharsalia, and the point about poisoning the declamation hit hard.

Medusa (like Erichtho before her) definitely reads to me as Lucan's avatar in the text. "She had the power to menace sky and sea with a weird paralysis, could encase all creation in clay" (9.647-8; here and below trans. Jane Wilson Joyce). What is this if not the artist's work (paralleling "one voice was all of nature" for Erichtho) and his power over time and death (again like Erichtho's)? How are we to describe Lucan, after all, if not full of prolific venom?

Medusa's venom produces the snakes who transmit it. And then this happens (9.828-38):

The hand (as before with Scaeva - @catilinas hand theory moment) stands for writing. One who opposes Lucan, pins his serpent king down with a spear, is nonetheless already infected, and his own hand will not serve him.

read this because i wanted a better look at the sententiae that keep leaping out at me (which is very much the focus), but some other sharp edges too

poisoning the well of declamation...polluting, one might say....with blood or perhaps like a corpse?

AIYGIYGUAGG I LOVE THE SNAKE AND DEMON STUFF IN THE BG MMMMMMMMMM THATS SO GOOD

[sunnysunsins]

Okay, so. Yk how Little Prince died from the snake bite bc he wanted to go back to his rose?

Some of us jumped to assume the snake is important.

But what if it's not, just it's venom. And who do we know to have venom, who is in Vacuo and who wouldn't mind "sending prince to his rose" via said venom.

Mmmmmmmmmm if i see Tyrian anywhere NEAR Oscar it's on sight 🔫🔫

[ flat ] — your muse fucks my muse while they’re face-down and helpless ( Sai and Terry )

@demon-blood-youths ((Sai belongs to my sweet rp friend to let you know.))

The room was dimmed down dark while it seems nothing else was going on. Except some slight noises from in one room with other sort of noises.

For once Terry didn't get influenced by the venom this time. It was just him and him alone. However, he was panting still thrusting his hips forward or rather more hard while holding someone's hips in his hands.

He looks down panting with sweat running off his body to see his boyfriend shaking under him. Sai or Shdwkyz to say, was gripping the sheets of this bed tightly, having some in between his teeth while Terry was pounding into him. He only grunts each time Terry thrusts into him, feeling how deeply he was inside of him. He would try to tell him slow down but he didn't trust his voice.

He was already moaning through his muffled mouth looking up with his yellow serpentine eyes in a lustful trance, taking in what Terry gave him. Though, he tried to be a brat again only to end up in this. Or maybe he was asking for it?

All Terry did was still thrust and make him feel good while punishing him that he started quickening his hips seeing that he tightens his grip in the sheets biting down harder on the blankets.

"MFffmmmm!!!!!"

"Hmmm? What's wrong? You already lost it?" he asked and yet, Sai didn't say a word. Seeing this he lowers down but saw Sai let the sheets go, drooling as he gasps for air tightening around him.

"Haaaa...hhhaaaaaa........"

He was too out of it to speak to him but Terry only keeps him close now kissing his shoulder as the snake hisses from the gentle touches to his chest. All Sai could do was moan again, almost begging him to keep going till he feels Terry slowly grinding against him making the other gasp.

"Nugghhhh......mmmmmmm...."

"I asked you a question..are you alright? Or do you want more?" he asked but finally Sai speaks but his voice sounded slightly weak and heated.

"....I'm f..fine....I told you not t..to mmmm worry about me remember? I can take care of my s..self so y..yooowooohhhhhh!!!!!!" his voice quivers when saying that he felt his body tense up feeling fingers training down his spine to make Sai arch away but Terry keeps teasing him while the fingers move up and down very slowly.

"Mmmmmmmmmm....."

"Heh, seems so. My precious boyfriend most love when I touch the right spots on him...." He said as Sai was moaning feeling weak from those fingers.

"St..stop...s.t...stroking against m..my..s..spine..p..please....." he begs drooling and yet, Terry only smiled to sit up while pulling his hips back. Sai gasped feeling that but feels a wet slick like noise to make him throw his head back moaning out. His lips were parted while shaking when Terry was inside of him again.

"...Fine, I'll stop teasing your spine.....I'll just tease something else instead." Before Sai could ask, Terry begins thrusting hard into him as Sai threw his head back screaming out in pleasure feeling his body bucking forward slightly that he felt Terry keep him face down on the bed again while taking it.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! AH!!! Haaa!! HAaaa!! T..there! R....right there!!!!!"

His hips was moving from the times Terry thrusts into him but he only tries to not lose it too suddenly only to feel his body wanting it. He moans out in a weak tone, crying tears of pleasure when Terry begins quickening his hips to jackhammering into him.

"AHHHHH!! N..No t..too fast! Too fast!" He moans out reaching with shaky hands to pull away only for him to pull him back. He was trapped under the bat, hearing his heated panting while Sai was crying out looking down as he drools on the sheets.

"But you don't want me to slow down..I know you by now, Sai and you want me to go as hard as I can..and as fast. I'll pound you into this bed you'll be broken just like the last time.

As he said that, he did just that. Sai could feel him going faster, and faster, and faster causing the snake to really scream out his name that his face was hidden from all the heat in this room. He couldn't stop when Sai was like this only for him to try pulling away again but he feels Terry going even faster making Sai scream out gripping the sheets again.

His tongue hanging out while tears still showing. "Toooo g...gooogggdddd Ouggghhh!!! G...gonna b..break! You're g..gonna b..break me!!" he moans out but that's when Terry feels him tightening before he snaps his hips forward causing Sai to scream again cumming hard on the sheets. He gasps loudly feeling his body shaking as he came with Terry feeling him tightening around him.

He shook feeling that but Sai was panting not knowing his mate watches him. As he was catching his breath, Terry leans over him but he makes Sai get on his knees again.

"H..Huh? T..Terry w...wai-N..Nihhggg...." He feels him start again but he gets a few good thrusts only to go fast suddenly while Sai was moaning out now taking them worse.

As he was moaning out, Terry had held his wrists down on the bed as Sai was moaning out from it. "T..Terry..Terry..p..please...."

"Shhh just enjoy it Sai..I'm not done with you yet.."

rating ninjago seasons with explanations because i was bored (spoilers obvs)

way of the ninja: 6/10 - i remember watching this ages and ages ago, to me they were just filler episodes to me as i’d watched all the way to rebooted at that point, not super interesting but it started everything so extra points for that

rise of the snakes: 5/10 - YES its old i know but the… the GD attack should have caused more chaos… destroyed more stuff… it only moved a couple cars in this season (which entirely changes in SoG with harumi’s flashbacks) which i thought was … weird, even when i was younger lol… but theres development of characters n all i think a lot of it is rad !

legacy of the green ninja: 6/10 - pretty good, i haven’t watched this in a while so i dont remember much but the end battle is Legendary so there’s extra points for that and also extra points for dareth being introduced hee hee

rebooted: 6/10 - the whole overlord and nindroids thing is … pretty cool ?? pixal and cyrus exist now so !!!! that adds points !!! when i was younger i remember watching zanes sacrifice a lot cuz i couldnt get over it, and now i can recite all the words off by heart … lol anyway i think this seasons ok 👍

tournament of elements: 8/10 - very good, i loved seeing the other elemental masters !!!! and chen is actually a very cool villain, especially when i was younger, i loved him then lol … the ending is kinda 😟 bc garmy technically dies but yea its a gud season C:

possession: 10/10 - this season is EVERYTHING???? the intro SLAPS, the whole aesthetic is incredible and not to mention theres a whole bunch of favourite characters content in this season so that adds extra points !!!! the story all flows smoothly and its just Mmmm so gud. i love it dearly, defo a comfort season i’ve watched it so many times

skybound: 7/10 - i can see why some people hate this season as the whole nadakhan marrying nya thing is VERY weird (even my cousin who was 6 at the time when we first watched it could tell that) … but theres extra points for 1. the whole misfortunes keep crew, i love them, and 2. the ninja replacements team, i also care them all so dearly … the lighting in this season is super good, and also the storyline threads together well, i just find it very Appealing how it goes back to how it started

hands of time: 4/10 - idk man its just … boring, i can’t really be interested enough to watch to the end of the season? extra points for acronix being pretty and the scruff moments tho lol…. also whats with more snake people …. cant be ninjago without snakes ig LMAO

day of the departed: 5/10 - i also just see this as a filler… i mean yes it tells how cole turned back from a ghost but otherwise it’s just kinda random but i still liked it

sons of garmadon: 7/10 - pretty good ! harumi is a very cool character tho i do think shes kinda selfish … like a lot of others probably lost family in the GD attack??? kind of confused … but the SoG group as a whole is VERY epic i love the designs for UV and mr E (killows design just throws me off tho… why Real Hands..)

hunted: 10/10 - SO damn good the storyline is EVERYTHING and i love how it switches POVs every so often to keep things on edge. its also pretty dark for a kids show and that makes it better, and the cinematics for this are all just AMAZING…. i care the dragon designs so much, mmmmmmmmmm beloveds :^)

march of the oni: 6/10 - wasted!!!!! potential!!!!! the oni were such a good show of fantastic character design and they were just….. taken out in like 5 seconds despite them literally being the embodiment of destruction? there was literally two seasons before this of the ninja dealing with one (1) embodiment of destruction and then when theres LOADS that make tentacle death clouds and are super OP they just … are defeated????? ok…… also what was the point in coles fall fr it just made me sad for no reason🙁

secrets of forbidden spinjitzu: 6/10 - the fire chapter was … cool ? i guess, wasn’t the most interesting, aspheera is hot tho lol😝(LITERALLY !!!!! Funny joke pls laugh.)also clutch being introduced adds points, love the stupid explorer man. the ice chapter is super dark, i loved seeing the never-realm and how everything worked there, and ?? evil zane ?!??!? sheeeeeesh that was a bold move that was super epic … i liked this part of the season :^0

prime empire: 10/10 - another comfort season YEAHHHHH !!!! the aesthetic !! so good !!! the characters r RAD like scott and okino and seven I LOVE THEM SO DEARLY ….. the soundtrack is RAD as well i listen to it plentifully …… the ending is happysad and i always go a bit cry when unagami and milton walk away together :’^)

master of the mountain: 8/10 - the whole slavery thing is … questionable but the skull sorcerer’s design is super awesome ! and the upply … i care them … :^)))) AND A COLE SEASON !!!! i loved the development for him !!! and the way that vania and cole stayed a friendship the whole time cuz it never implied they were gonna date or whatever which made me happy honestly … i rated it 8/10 as the extra points are from the upply

the island: shit/10 - what the fuck was that. the islanders were cool i liked their designs but seriously i hated the ending so bad like there was no reason for ronin to be the antagonist again … just let clutch steal the amulet and there you have it all set up for the next season whoooo

seabound: 9/10 - again i love the aesthetic, the glowy-ness of everything is so pretty in this, and the design for wojira is amazing … tho this season is super sad, im sure theres reasoning for the ending of it :)))))) the storyline is also very good in this ! it does actually make sense which sometimes doesnt happen ……...
