#the immortal twink

[slips-of-sappho]

I had the great honor recently of seeing the relief that hung in Hadrian's own quarters

and wondered if, in his grief, Hadrian took the outstretched marble hand until it grew warm in his touch and whispered words of love behind marble curls into a delicate hidden ear

And then I wondered if Hadrian licked his nipple.

do yall know about this

im not really interested in engaging in moral discourse surrounding the relationship of zeus and ganymede bc 1. i like to leave things up to the viewer and 2. the inherent horror and tragedy of being the “most beautiful boy to exist” is more interesting to me since we’ve seen it play out horribly in real life. i take inspiration from björn adrésen, quotes from the young river phoenix, the lives of castrati and antinous more than anything lol.

i see ganymede being taken as something that mirrors the inevitable “death” that either occurs literally or metaphorically to beautiful young men. they either “die” by aging out of their perceived beauty or die in some tragic way that preserves their young grace in peoples minds. ganymede cannot die in the traditional sense as he is immortal, but him being taken is a “death” of sorts in that the memory of his beauty is frozen in time. the ganymede inside everyone’s heads will stay the same forever and can be deified both literally and figuratively.

so did zeus “kill” ganymede or save him? is there love in the “kill” and greed in his conservation? is there liberation in “death” when you are the most beautiful boy to exist? can you ever be liberated? is ganymede dead or alive?

I imagine future Merlin communing in nature, dancing semi naked in the forests like the nympho he was supposed to be. My boi took pole dancing lessons from expert strippers to get good using the sturdy but magical staff he'd use in past battles or in his training to stay fit.

He's study the art form of seduction, tango, and carabet(I think that's how you spell it lol), my smol magic bae knows how to lap dance, he's besties with the ladies in the clubs.

Merlin, nakey nakey nympho, dancing blissfully unaware that Arthur Pendragon has finally appeared until he locked eyes with his shocked and red-faced King.

"HOLY SHIT! What the—why are you back now!? Like, here?? Instead of at the damn lake!?"

"WHY I'M HERE? What about you?! Why are you naked??! GODS PUT SOME CLOTHES ON YOU DEVIANT HUSSY!"

Cue in Merthur arguing til the sun goes down, and Merlin still nakey but Arthur throws his red cloak over Merlin.

often the humble kind, but he can’t deny, he was born to blow your mind…

…or something along those lines.

I love that Doflamingo is the only character we get to see actively balding. Like Garp, Sengoku and Rayleigh are pushing 80 and they got heads full of hair.

but see this 41 year old twink?

The weight of his evil deeds is making his hair fall out and it’s stressing him the fuck out.

A family isn't always a mom, a dad and a kid. Sometimes a family is the bisexual (Kyoshi) and lesbian (Rangi) who are dating, and the twink (Yun/Lek/Zoryu/Jinpa) they adopted along the way. uwu
