Fictional Men Ranked Least to Most Likely to Eat Pussy
When I’m bored my powers turn to evil. Happy to announce that @earlymodernlesbian is not only is an enabler but wrote a gay companion piece which you can and should read here!!!! 
10. Mr. Rochester — Jane Eyre
No chance of oral here. Sorry, I don’t think he puts Jane first once in this book. She’s too busy being a ministering angel to ever consider anything above and beyond her wifely duty and I don’t think Rochester ever really stops being a narcissist long enough to consider her desires or even, you know, her life. I bet his french mistress asked him to do it once and he was like “ew, no”
9. Rhett Butler — Gone With the Wind
Rhett says shit like “you ought to be kissed and by someone who knows how,” and then I bet would go down on you one time just to show you what you were missing out on, and then he’d tease you about how much you liked it for months afterwards and refuse to do it again. Imagine how much more normal Scarlett might have been if she was getting regular oral.
8. Konstantin Levin — Anna Karenina
Definitely knows about eating pussy and can’t stop thinking about it. I think he might even shamefully obsess about it in conjunction with his dirty peasant laborer fantasies. However, he also has the ascetic monk thing going on so I bet he hardcore represses his desires to actually do it. That being said, I think if he ever got over himself he’d be way into it.
7. Mr Darcy — Pride and Prejudice
I’m not convinced Mr. Darcy even knows going down on girls is a thing, but once Bingley had filled him in I bet he would try it. Elizabeth I’m sure would not object but I can’t see this happening more than once or twice.
6. Oliver Mellors — Lady Chatterley’s Lover
Mellors has the distinct advantage and disadvantage of being the only character from a book that actually describes sex acts. If it was based solely on what he said (being turned on by getting women off, not shutting up about Connie’s ass, talking about how much he wants a “real” woman with a “real” body), I’d say absolutely he wants to get down there and would use the cringiest words possible to describe it. However, they textually do almost everything else so I feel like if he ate her out DH Lawrence would have told us 😔
EDIT: he goes down on her in the most recent movie!!! vindicated
5. Jonathan Harker — Dracula
Jonathan is obsessed with Mina (rightfully) and loves her to the end of the earth, so of course he’d do anything for her, including eat her out. However, there’s so much putting women on goddess pedestals in Dracula that he might just like, repeatedly kiss her between her legs and and be like, “am I doing this right?” and Mina would be like “I love you so much Jonathan” but she wouldn’t actually get off, you know? 
4. Heathcliff — Wuthering Heights
Someone who is willing to dig up your grave would definitely be down to lick your pussy. Cathy and Heathcliff are so rabid about each other I bet oral is like, one of the least weird things they would have done to each others bodies if they had the chance
3. Gabriel Oak — Far from the Madding Crowd
Not intimidated by Bathsheba’s independence and position of power. Could take care of her and spoil her if she ever let him and they both know it. Plus, not afraid to get down and dirty and do farm work for her. If a man cures your sheep and saves your hay before a storm, what else will he do for you? 👀
2. Mr. Knightley — Emma
Mr. Knightly is the definition of a service top. 100% confident in his masculinity and completely comfortable putting Emma’s needs and wants first, but not gonna let her get away with being high and mighty. Excellent combination of obsessed with her but still in charge. ;) She would get neurotic about it and he would tell her to chill out and he’d be right.
1. George Emerson — A Room with a View
George chugs his respect women juice and is so turned on by the idea of women as individuals with unique desires he can’t stand to see Lucy betray herself by marrying a robot. “I want you to have your own thoughts even when I hold you in my arms” ?!? “The desire to govern a woman lies very deep, and men and women must fight it together before they shall enter the Garden” !! What’s not to love about a pro-Eve humanist who enjoys swimming naked and is constantly telling everyone to be less embarrassed about desire and the body? No question George is going to be eating Lucy out every day of their lives and getting off on it himself.
Bonus: 
Marius Pontmercy — Les Misérables
Shy, but also French. Not sure which one wins out here.

The foolish claim that Canto 6 does not have many direct references to Wuthering Heights.
Those among the wise recognize that the true similarities lie not in things like superficial plot or progression, but the depths of themes flowing beneath.
Nelly and Catherine, in this Canto, have read Wuthering Heights with that mirror, see the similarities, and then seek to leave it, to leave the cycle, through their actions bringing Erlking Heathcliff, the closest to 'book' Heathcliff, into this story, and ending up perpetuating the story, the story of Wuthering Heights. By seeking to escape the narrative, they have become one with it, Cathy literally becoming part of the titular Wuthering Heights (mansion), Nelly and the Butlers being bound by contract to the land. As they struggle against their binds, they become further bound and entangled, drawing all the others in.
What is the message here, then? It is hard to tell. Heathcliff is still bound and cannot, or does not, fully escape, because, as we see from the Erlkonig, that method of escape is not one at all and leads to further suffering. But there is still a defiance of fate, if not to change the cycle, then to rewrite it within its bounds. To pick up the metaphorical pen, and to see that the fault lies not with specifically Heathcliff, or Catherine, or the love and feelings that lies between them, but with their actions, and while the past cannot be changed, it can be reflected on and changed moving forward. Heathcliff can live, and he will not be the same as he was in the past, because of his love for Catherine and for others. That said actions, when you look into the book and the Mirror World, can give birth to the happiness of Hareton Earnshaw and Catherine Linton.
Heathcliff, our Heathcliff, will continue to search for Cathy, not solely for his own happiness, but for hers as well, that they might be together once more, free from the Heights, or even that they might be happy separately, separately but alive and existing.

RYŌSHŪ: openly and ruthlessly critiques every piece of art in Wuthering Heights, scoffing at their S.H.I.T. taste MEURSAULT: drafted into undercover butler shenanigans. nails it, but openly gives up he is undercover when questioned by the staff HONG LU: "Oh wow! This is what other extremely normal families are like!"/literally fucking anything of substance at all ISHMAEL: *puts hand on Heathcliff's shoulder* "No, really, now, of all times, you should be going berserk. You are 100% correct and justified in doing so."

"The Wuthering Heights estate seemed dull and stormy as always, colors only barely visible thanks to the Lady's lanterns- deep within the manor, a sickly man and his butler lay."

if the Sinners got a dog
(below the cut because I actually have a decent amount of thoughts on this)
Outis: one of the only (and possibly THE only) sinners committed to disciplining the dog. She’s a bit perturbed that the dog won’t reliably sit/stay on command because it tends to jump at random intervals instead (Don Quixote’s influence).
Has some belief that if she speaks in a voice that’s authoritative enough, the dog will understand what she’s saying. Is displeased when that doesn’t happen. “Why are you trying to sit on me? No.” “It’s because the dog likes you” “If she likes me she will sit politely on the ground as she is supposed to”
Rodya: She was the one who named the dog, and probably rescued it off of the street, insisting that they should keep the dog at least for a little while. Feeds the dog a bit of whatever the Sinners are having. “That’s not good for dogs!” “A little won’t do her any harm~”
Sinclair: He wasn’t sure what to make of the dog at first (it’s probably not vaccinated, and he only became sure it didn’t have rabies after a couple of days), but he’s pretty fond of it. Whenever he’s in need of company, the dog appears without him needing to say anything. It’s warm, soft, and close, and he definitely thinks of it as a family member. That being said he personally has a steep learning curve of “how to take care of a dog” (if he had one in his previous years then there was probably a butler to take care of it)
Heathcliff: I recently read Wuthering Heights. This gives me reason to suspect that Heathcliff would not be a big fan of the dog, at least at first. He’s fine with it from a distance, but protests to having to touch it (and to having it touch him). I’d imagine that it gets on his good side eventually, though, and he’d probably be one of those people who wants the dog to love him the most out of everyone.
Ryōshū: They weren’t really sure how she would react to the dog at first. She’s currently trying to teach it how to sic. Given the opportunity, she’ll examine the dog’s body. Her efforts of questionable motivation led to the discovery that the dog is missing a tooth.
Gregor: After 5.5, I think it’s safe to say that he’s the “dad with the dog he didn’t want”. He notices that the dog is repulsed by the smell of cigarettes and doesn’t smoke as actively when he’s around it.
Don Quixote: She wants the dog to be her sidekick. She’s taught the dog how to hug (ie how to jump and put its paws on her chest/shoulder), and is hoping to teach the dog how to do some advanced stunts. “Move forth, my companion, and fetch mine lance!” (Dog does nothing)
Yi Sang: The dog is his buddy. He’s a bit concerned about the idea that the dog could be involved in Limbus Company’s business, but has no problem with the idea of teaching the dog some more simple stuff (eg how to track scents and find lost people/things).
Faust: If there’s a City equivalent to a Wikipedia page on dogs, she probably read it. Several times. She wouldn’t say it, but the dog’s capriciousness often confounds her. In lieu of a microchip, she made a tracking collar for the dog.
Meursault: He and the dog share a certain special bond due to his willingness to walk, clean up after, and generally take care of the dog when others don’t feel like it. He’s not necessarily a fan of the whole “spontaneous tackling” thing, but he’s big enough to avoid being pushed over and has few other complaints about the dog. With the lack of interest in training the dog on the bus, he doesn’t see the use of disclosing what he knows about training dogs.
Ishmael: She likes the dog. Walking the dog often brings her mixed feelings, since it reminds her of the other experiences she’s had with being on the end of a guiding rope. She’s figured out that she can derail Heathcliff’s train of thought by invoking the dog, either physically or in name, and she’s greatly enjoying this ability.
Vergilius: He was dubious about the whole “dog on the bus” thing. Since Charon seems to enjoy the dog’s presence, however, he sees no point in objecting to it. He doesn’t dislike dogs, but the fact that anything bad happening to the dog could have catastrophic consequences means he’s always a little on edge around it. If the Sinners weren’t planning on doing their best to take care of it before, they certainly are after receiving some Red Gaze-brand reminders to be responsible pet owners.
Dante: Rewinding dog scratches is a small burden, but please, can SOMEONE cut the dog’s nails? They like the dog, but their clock head doesn’t seem to win them any canine popularity points. They’re both disappointed and relieved that the dog doesn’t count as a thirteenth Sinner.

Liam Evans Main Story: Chapter 8
Tumblr media
I do not own any of the Ikemen Series content being uploaded on this blog, everything belongs to CYBIRD. Please support them by downloading and playing their games.
read this before interacting with my posts
Liam: Only a selected few know that I’m a member of Crown.
(This means that—)
Liam: The article says that… “stage actor Liam killed someone”.
William: Good guess.
Harrison: Liam. This news article…
Harrison: It says that you killed the Evans— every last one of them.
(He killed… his entire family?)
Kate: Can I look at the article?
I could hear my heart thumping like a jackhammer in my chest as I read the headline on the newspaper’s front page.
The Evans family was a major confectionery production company that gained immense wealth and influence in just one generation. And one day, a fire broke out.
That sensational news made the headlines. It was reported that their entire mansion burned down, causing several deaths.
The casualties were — Liam's father, Max, Liam's mother, Karen, and their butler, Jacob.
The sole survivor was their only son, Liam, who was 9 years old at that time.
Back then, the police department concluded that the accident was a "malpractice of the fireplace", and the case was closed—
Kate: "... But there was soon evidence that the fire was started by Liam, who was 9 years old."
Kate: "Is The Scala's brightest star a murderous monster, or—" ...
Kate: ... What's the point of publishing this article now?
Tumblr media
Harrison: Someone sold information on Liam's past. The newspaper publisher bought it because they found it interesting, and wrote an article. It's nothing new.
(That means…)
Kate: Someone deliberately went through all the trouble of digging up his past and selling it to the publisher…?
Kate: Who on earth would…
Elbert: Liam lives in a world of high-profile actors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elbert: … There are plenty of people who harbour feelings of resentment, envy, and jealousy towards him.
William: Liam.
Liam: Yes, Will?
William: How true is this article?
Liam: Unfortunately…
Liam: It's completely true.
(— What.)
I was rendered speechless, whereas William’s usual elegant smile didn't falter.
William: I see. However, according to this article, there is no evidence to back up their claims.
William: As long as there is no evidence, the police will not make any moves. Moreover, this is an old case — it is long overdue.
William: All you can do for now is to live with people looking at you with a prejudiced eye for a while.
Liam: … I know. However, the performance for “Wuthering Heights” is just around the corner, so that’s a problem.
Liam: I think it's best if I resign from my job as a stage actor before the matter gets out of hand. I’ll speak to everyone at The Scala about this.
The sounds of Liam’s footsteps as he left the dining room brought my mind back from its dazed state.
(Liam…)
Harrison: Um, Kate. Over there.
(...?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Harrison’s mint coloured eyes were fixated on a ticket and a modern rose on the table.
Harrison: He intended to give them to you. He was hiding them behind his back.
Kate: …
(My mind is still in a mess. But…)
Kate: I- I’m going to go after Liam.
(... There he is!)
Kate: Liam, wait!
Liam’s rose coloured eyes widened when I ran up to him just as he was about to walk out the front door.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Liam: Kate…
Liam: Ah—... sorry if that startled you. You want to know more about my case, right?
Kate: Yes… and no.
Tumblr media
Liam: …?
Kate: I was bewildered to hear that the incident was true, even more so when I heard it from your mouth.
Kate: … That's not a lie. But I’m also not trying to pry into your past.
Kate: … Because if I do that, I’ll be no different from the people involved in publishing that article.
I was almost breathless because I wanted to tell him everything at one go.
Kate: … Moreover, this isn't the right time for me to ask, right?
Liam: So… that's not your purpose right now? Then, why did you run after me?
Kate: The truth is…
Kate: You don't want to resign from your job, do you…?
Liam: Huh…?
He was so happy when he told me he got the lead role, and worked so hard to rehearse for it.
(I know that because I’ve been watching him from the sidelines. Therefore, I don’t want him to give up and let go of this opportunity because of something so cruel.)
I learnt from him that in order to perform on stage for just one night, a stage actor has to put in a tremendous amount of effort.
Liam: But my presence will only be a nuisance to them. There will definitely be people in the audience who are only there to humiliate me.
Liam: As much as I’m serious about this production, I shouldn't go this far. I don't want to cause problems for others—
Kate: Liam. I want to know what you’re feeling right now.
Liam: …
Kate: … What do you really want, Liam?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Liam: Me?
Kate: … Yes.
Liam: I…
Liam: I… uh…
His rose coloured eyes shook with a troubled expression.
Liam frowned in agony, he looked like he was fighting something he couldn't speak of.
(...Liam?)
(Why do you look so pained?)
(... I shouldn't have asked that question.)
The uncomfortable look in his eyes that I had failed to notice became more distinct, and I recalled what I heard at the tavern.
— Liam had never been able to figure out what he wanted for himself.
When I first heard those words, I got the feeling that he didn't have his own desires, but I dismissed that as myself overthinking.
Even at this moment, I still feel like I’m overthinking.
(Liam, please… say something.)
(I’ll take any answer, so just tell me what you feel—)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Liam: …
Liam: What do you think, Kate?
Kate: … Grgh.
Liam: Kate?
An uneasy emotion fell over my eyes.
(The man standing in front of me and smiling right now... who is he?)
Liam: Kate... did I say something strange?
I was so afraid that if I didn't do something, Liam would turn into a complete stranger.
I reached my hand out to touch his cheek, as if to make sure that it was really him standing there.
Liam: ... Hm?
William: Did you successfully hold him back, Kate?
Kate: ... William.
William spoke with his melodious voice as he approached us with light steps.
William: Liam. Resigning from your stage actor job won't change anything for the better.
William: Stage actors cannot be replaced easily. You have to perform.
William: — You will continue to perform on stage. Crown will take care of finding the culprit.
Liam • Kate: Huh...?
William: Those fools who sold the information to the newspaper publisher will never learn their lesson, and they'll try other ways to bring you down.
Liam: But unless it's Her Majesty's orders, it won't do Crown any good... Will.
Tumblr media
William: If those people continue to dig up more information about you, the secret existence of Crown will eventually be revealed.
William: And leaving my tortured pet cat alone isn't one of my hobbies.
William: Are those reasons enough for you?
Liam: ... Thank you. And for troubling you... I'm sorry. You too, Kate.
William fixed his gaze onto me, as if telling me "it'll be wise for you to stay by Liam's side".
Kate: It's alright. Can I follow you into The Scala...?
When we got to The Scala, the members of the theatre troupe were already gathered and it seemed that they all read the article from The Shadow.
In the stiff atmosphere, Liam bowed his head.
Liam: For causing all of you trouble at this time… I’m very sorry.
Tom: … A real nuisance indeed.
Liam: … Ggh.
Tom: — Did you think I’d say that?
Tumblr media
Liam: Huh…?
Tom: You thought such an article could sway us? If so, you're underestimating us.
Tom: I should be hugging and kissing you to thank you for causing the theatre to gain publicity. Right, everyone?
Everyone in the theatre troupe nodded in agreement to Tom’s words.
Liam: Tom… you guys…
Tom: You’re as irreplaceable as the rest of us, Liam. Although that was a pretty dark story…
Tom: Tomorrow is the first day of the play! We’ll rehearse all night today. Come on, get into your positions.
Theatre Members • Liam: Okay…
(... Everyone is smiling. I’m glad Liam didn't get removed from his role.)
The lively atmosphere gave me a sense of relief.
However, that was only momentary—
== Flashback Start ==
(Liam, please… say something.)
(I’ll take any answer, so just tell me what you feel—)
Liam: What do you think, Kate?
== Flashback End ==
(What would've happened if I told Liam to “just resign from your job”...?)
I don't think it's possible, but Liam would've said something like—
“Mm, okay. I’ll do it since you said so.”
And smile with his usual carefree facial expression.
To leave everything up to the wishes of others — that's not an easy thing to do.
That's because people have their own volitions, ego, and desires. Those are what make them who they are.
Liam, who was rehearsing in the distance, looked no different from his usual self.
However—
(Liam’s heart felt so far away from me.)
Just like Tom declared, the rehearsal carried on through the night, and it was midnight by the time we left.
Theatre Member: I am famished! Let's go have a meal before heading home. Okay, Kate?
Kate: Fufu, are there any shops open at this hour?
Tom: … Hey.
Tom: … What’s that?
Tumblr media
Kate • Liam: …?
Tom was staring at The Scala’s wall.
Posters that had never been seen before, were plastered all over the wall.
Written on the posters was—
“— Don’t let a murderer stand on stage.”
Kate: That's…

Oh sweet, ID stats came out
So.. essentially Cinq? I like that Ryōshū has one of the weird mark effect from the boss fight
What I'm hoping for is that this is one of those weird poise units that seems mediocre right now but then they'll add another unit in a bit that has a passive that correlates well and they become good again. On its own, I don't think I see how good it is.
One missed opportunity (imo) is that Ishmael doesn't have the little marking effect and that it only applies/buffs Ryōshū when like. SHOULDN'T THEY DO THE SAME THING???? (Same with the other Wuthering Heights butler IDs)
Ironically enough, I'll probably only use the 2* because she fits better in my sinking team. Tbh? I don't really know where you'd put Ryōshū. Poise team? Burn? Sinking? What makes it so interesting is that really you could use her anywhere.
