I have not stopped thinking about Metamorphosis since I first watched it like 3 weeks ago. But not because of the “Companion do you love the Man” part. Because it hurt my feelings when Cochrane was appalled at the idea of fucking an alien. What is wrong with you? Why did you even do space travel??

I would be ecstatic if The Companion was in love with me that’s all I’m saying.

The Companion by E.E. Ottoman

New York, 1948

After years of trying to break into New York City’s literary scene, Madeline Slaughter is emotionally and physically exhausted. When a friend offers her a safe haven as the live-in companion to reclusive, bestselling novelist Victor Hallowell she jumps at the chance to escape the city.

Madeline expects to find rest and quiet in the forests of Upstate New York. Instead, she finds Victor, handsome and intensely passionate, and Audrey Coffin, Victor’s mysterious and beautiful neighbor.

When Victor offers her a kiss and the promise of more Madeline allows herself to become entangled even as Audrey is also claiming her heart. The only problem is that Audrey and Victor are ex-lovers with plenty of baggage between them. As Madeline finds herself opening up and falling in love with both she starts to wonder, can there be a future for all three?

দোসর Dosar, The Companion (2006)

[noahhawthorneauthor]

According to Goodreads and Audible, we're all birds of a feather somehow. Maybe it's the found family, maybe it's the yearning.

Guess you'll have to find out for yourself.

Can I please ask for a mbti for Sylvie Russo (a complete unknown 2024) please! Thank you!

Hi there, sweetie! I really hope you like this a lot!

Sylvie Russo's MBTI Type, Big Three, Enneagram Type and Moral Alignment Type

MBTI Type: ESFJ [The Consul]

As extroverts, Consuls are talkative, energetic, and thrive around people. They prefer not to spend too much time alone.

Highly observant, their focus lies more on the details than on how everything connects together. They trust facts over theories—and they make decisions based on what they can see right now.

ESFJs are feelers who prioritize emotion rather than logic in their decision-making.  Empathetic and diplomatic, they do what feels right rather than what makes sense.

They’re structured and organized, preferring to plan ahead so they know what’s going to happen. They like rules, processes and schedules.

Big Three: Libra Sun, Cancer Moon and Pisces Rising

Libra Sun: Libra is ruled by the airy part of Venus, making them bon vivants, critical, and artistic — as well as forever stylish.

Cancer Moon: The emotions of Cancer Moons have no limits, restraints, or depths. This is a cosmic placement that often leads to sweetness, kindness, emotional awareness and responsibility. 

Pisces Rising: The Pisces ascendant commits fully to their beliefs and has an active imagination.

Enneagram Type: 2w1 [The Companion]

Basic Fear: Enneagram type two-wing-ones fear being unwanted by those they love. They tend to take on a caretaker role to serve others and avoid feelings of insecurity.

Basic Desire: They desire love and acceptance above all else. They are service-oriented and humble, seeking to help better the lives of those in their community.

Companions tend to stifle and repress their negative emotions and personal desires. They may feel internally conflicted as they work to meet everyone else’s needs but their own.

Moral Alignment Type: Lawful Good [The Crusader]

These are characters who believe in truth, honor and order. They always strive to do the right thing, even at a great personal cost.

5/20 Queer Book Draw Challenge

The Companion by E.E. Ottoman

[ID: a digital illustration of Victor, Madeline, and Audrey tangled in an embrace on the porch. Victor is leaning on the wicker bench, face buried in kissing Madeline's neck and lifting her skirt up her thigh, revealing garters and dark stockings. Madeline is gripping Victor's knee, face turned to Audrey, eyes locked on her lips. Madeline's face mask of pleasure and want. Audrey is faced towards Madeline, a hand gliding under the collar of her dress, face near enough to kiss. Surrounding them are the many plants of Victor's porch, and outside the plants, a swirly gold art nouveau style frame. The image is dominated by shades of blue and green and brown, except for the points of contact between them and Audrey's hair— all of which are kiss-bite red. End ID]
