Did you know that the vagina dentata motif (vagina with teeth) is a centuries old thing that can be found in literally every culture around the world?? Lord, I wish we could stop prove Freud right I just know his smug ass is chuckling in hell 🙄
Reblog, like, share, comment, blah blah :) I wanna find my monsterfucker friends who love history. We all gotta know our roots 😤
Just remembered the time I was at a comic con and found a sticker of a shark's jaws labeled MANEATER, and I started quietly chanting "vagina dentata vagina dentata" as I bought it.
And the artist took my money and handed me the sticker and went, "It's a type of shark" in the calmest 'I am going to brain you with my sketchbook" tone I have ever heard, and I hope that person is having a great day.
Am i going crazy or is Scylla another version of Basile because in the Odyssey Scylla had her genitals replaced with dog heads, and Basile also has no d*ck? Am i crazy? Was this an accident or did you put this in your character on purpose?
You are not crazy. It's very purposeful that I named Scylla after the sea monster! Not just cuz he himself is a sea monster, but to emphasize the feminine part of him which includes having vagina dentata and those rows of teeth that the mythological Scylla is known for. I personally like the look of blunt teeth more than sharp teeth for his case of vagina dentata. Lets him chew more than just meat :P
And of course there's the whole thing with vaginas being associated with fish, mollusks, and so forth. I like to use yonic horror (devouring holes) with Scylla to contrast with the more typical phallic horror symbolism of penetration.
I watched Promising Young Woman and although I loved it I was disappointed that all she did to the men was give them a stern talking to, haha. And I’ve been obsessed with the movie Teeth ever since it came out; it’s bold, horrifying and empowering.
This fic is difficult to read but to me the catharsis was totally worth it. Rey takes something terrifying about her and turns into a weapon, although it doesn’t come without pain. And I’m pretty proud of the tags too, hehe. And the moodie!
