it's because the bear wouldn't kill me just for being a woman. the bear doesn't kill me for fun. the bear can be shouted at, and will leave me alone. the bear won't make a tiktok complaining about how i crossed to the other side of the path when i saw him coming. if a bear kills me, it's just being a bear: it cannot understand logic. it is not acting out of malice - just fear or hunger.

bell hooks once wrote about how porches might be the only outside space left for women - it is still the domain of the house while it is also outside-but-safe. when i am in the woods, i am in the bear's home, and he has a right to defend his property. outside spaces - anywhere at night, certain parks in the day - those are often implicitly "owned" by men. i cannot explain the feeling of knowing when you have entered a man's "territory." you walk into a place and just know you are in their space. you get a sick sense - you're in danger.

the other day a group of about 8 men were fooling around in the woods while i walked my dog. i had to go around, take the extra 3 miles just to avoid them. it's okay, i like walking. this wasn't even a #feminism moment. it was just a tuesday.

what a plain and easy question. only one of the situations is seen as a tragic accident. i would rather die and have a park bench erected in my honor rather than have my family questioned about why they let me, an adult, walk in the woods in the first place when i should really be at home in the kitchen.

i worked in retail and food service. i have had women say and do absolutely heinous and abusive things to me - not because i was a woman, but because i was there, and they were angry. the way men treated me when angry was different - it was because i was a woman. you can always feel the difference, how there's an undertone of i'd hurt you worse if i could get away with it. i keep seeing people try to cite stupid statistics. why is there always a strange rage whenever women agree on things? like men can argue their way out of our lived experiences? it isn't a buzzfeed quiz - which of these traumas are you? 10 super cute ways not to fear strange men.

i have actually (thrice!) seen a bear in the wild, by the way. i died each time, obviously, and am a ghost writing to you. (it was scary but completely and utterly fine). the second encounter was a black bear with her cub. she looked at me like - do we have to do this or are we good? my dog was busy sniffing a bush, completely nonreactive. i felt like i was in a sitcom: feminist poet reacts - does she actually mean she'd choose the bear? my only thought was - she's so beautiful. her paws are massive.

and there's a part of me that feels the rage spinning out in a corner. why do we have to come up with quippy little comments in order to teach men empathy. would you rather die in a car accident or due to a mugging? and would you rather your house burn down due to an electrical fire or due to arson? gee willikers - it's almost like we're human people, and want to risk the accident versus the intention.

i would rather my last thought be oh shit, a bear rather than i'm a person too. why doesn't that matter? why don't you care?

how about something like their s/o loving their mustache look and don't want them to shave?

sorry that this is so late, and that i made it kinda long!!! i added the other part you mentioned too! i spent hours looking at dreamies mustache pics, hope you enjoy! ☺

❥ mark’s facial hair grew back quite quickly, but mark was quicker, shaving off any stubble that made an appearance. but with the recent comeback, having to wake up early and rush to practice and coming home only to eat and sleep, simply wearing a mask outdoors would have to suffice. after a busy couple of weeks you had been dying to see your boyfriend, inviting him over to spend the night. when you finally heard the jingling of the keys you sprung out of bed to greet your boyfriend. as the door opened and you got a look at mark, a dark shadow cast over his lip and light stubble adorned his chin and jawline. you stepped back for a second to admire this new look. mark laughed awkwardly, covering his face, “dude stop staringgg, i didn’t have time to shave i wanted to see you so i just rushed over” you grabbed his hand pulling him towards the couch, “no no no, i’ve just never seen you like this, you look really good markie, you should grow it out more often” you reached up to touch his mustache, smiling at the new feeling. mark was blushing like crazy, maybe some stubble wasn't so bad after all.

❥ renjun almost never grew facial hair, it took months for even the tiniest amount of hair to pop up. so when you went in for a kiss and instead were greeted by an itchy upper lip, you knew you couldn't leave renjun alone about it. you grabbed his face, using your thumbs to run over the tiny stubble that had appeared on renjun's upper lip. "um, babe is this some new tiktok trend you saw, what's going on with you" he pulled your hands off him looking at you with concerned eyes. "junnie you have a mustache! a real actual mustache is growing right now!" he slapped his hand over his mouth, clearly embarrassed by this new revelation. "you're a liar let me go see" he rushed to the vanity gasping when he noticed small hairs beginning to grow. "where's the razor i need this gone right now!" you giggled at your boyfriend's reaction rushing to stop him from removing his hair, "wait no no, i never get to see you like this, leave it, just for today!" renjun let out a sigh knowing he couldn't say no to you, "fine, but i'll make you so sick of my mustache that you'll never want me hairy again" he pressed his upper lip to your cheek rubbing harshly, causing you to push him away "not so nice now, right baby"

❥ jeno was always handsome, but right now how you were seeing him, no makeup, wet hair, towel around his hips, and a slight stubble growing on his upper lip and chin, jeno was godly. "hello? earth to y/n? you're acting like you've never seen me naked" naked? that was the least of your concerns right now, jeno with facial hair was a rare sight only on a night like now, straight after practice and too tired to shave, could you see him like this. jeno gently sat on the bed next to you, reaching out to hold your chin, using it to make you face him, "hey sweet girl, are you ignoring me?" you blinked a couple times still processing the sight in front of you, now much closer, "sorry, sorry, i just, i don't get to see you like this often" you blushed looking away from him. jeno still confused by your reaction, "shirtless? baby we've been dating for years, did my muscles get bigger?" he chuckled at his own comment slightly flexing his biceps. you slapped his arm laughing at his silly movements, "no jen, your mustache, you look so handsome like this." now it was jeno's turn to blush, eyes growing wide at the realization that your focus was on his stubble. he reached up to cover his face, "sorry i need to get new batteries for my razor" you pulled his hands away from his face leaning towards him to plant a kiss on his chin stubble, "don't worry about it, you look really good like this puppy."

❥ haechan hated that his facial hair grew back so quickly. he'd shave at night and the next morning a shadow would be cast over his lip and on his chin, hair already growing back. but what he hated more was how you avoided him when he did have facial hair. what he didn't know is that you loved seeing haechan with facial hair. haechan had been busy, his razor laying cold and alone on the bathroom counter, his mustache and chin hair dark and prominent. as he joined you in bed, pulling you by your waist to face him, you tried you best to not ogle at your boyfriend's facial hair, looking anywhere but his face. he noticed you avoidant gaze, reaching up to force you to look at him, "do you really dislike my mustache that much, you can't even look at me baby?" heat began to rise to your face, finally fully looking at your beautiful boyfriend, "wha-what, of course not! i- i actually think i like it a little too much" your hand reached up hesitantly to brush against his chin hair. haechan was more than pleased with your response, leaning into your touch, "oh my baby, why didn't you just say so, had me nervous thinking you hated my hair," "no! i could never hate your facial hair, it's, it's actually a really good look on you" he smiled wide, an idea popping into his head, "well, i will definitely be throwing my razor away" he leaned his face closer to you rubbing his prickly chin against your neck, laughing when you tried pushing him away, "hyuck please, that tickles!"

❥ jaemin could not believe what he was seeing. he had been going through your phone trying to find an image of lucy, luke, and luna to send it to himself when he stumbled upon a photo of himself. actually, not a photo, a whole folder titled, 'nana no shave,' he had to give it to you, it was clever, but the countless pics of him with stubble was not just shocking, but concerning. jaemin had no idea that you had liked his stubble so much, let alone have a collection of pictures of it. he decided to put your love for his mustache to the test, letting it grow out for a week. he had been relaxing on the couch watching a drama you had recommended when from the corner of his eye he sees you quickly holding your phone up ready to take a picture, but he was quicker reaching across the couch to snatch your phone from you, "aha, i finally caught you, you were taking pics of my stubble weren't you!" he pointed his finger at you, you sat there shocked that you had been discovered, not knowing that jaemin had caught on to your hidden obsession, you weren't ashamed though, "yeah, and what if i was, what are you gonna do about it jaem?" his shoulders sagged his lips forming a pout, "huh, well i guess nothing" his shoulders perked up again, a smirk on his lips "but stop taking hidden pictures of me! next time just ask me princess, i'll give you all of my mustache pics"

❥ chenle loved to annoy you with his stubble. Every opportunity he got to rub his prickly cheek against yours he would take it. you would always push him away, pretending that you were annoyed by his actions, when in reality you loved to see chenle with his stubble. today was no different. chenle was on week two of no shaving, stubble having grown significantly. you were laying in bed scrolling through your phone when you felt the bed sink next to you, your very hyper boyfriend ready to interrupt you relaxation, "hi lele, is there anything i can help you with?" all you heard was, "nope" before your phone was snatched from your hands and your boyfriend was hovering over you grinning widely, "like my mustache baby?" he wiggled his eyebrows at you struggling to hold back his giggles. you reached up to rub your fingers against his stubble, gently pulling at the hair, "actually, yes i do like your little mustache, makes you look handsome," chenle froze for a second shocked by your sudden confession and then a frown formed on his face, "no fair, if you like it how am i supposed to annoy you now!" he leaned down to rub his cheeks against yours causing you to squirm under his hold. you giggled at him trying to push him away. He sat up, straddling you, "see you're enjoying this, i need a new plan now!"

❥ jisung would not be caught dead with stubble in front of you. the relationship was relatively fresh, he had confessed in june and by august you two were going steady. now it was the start of november and jisung still didn't feel ready to let you see his facial hair grow out, yes it was normal but what if you hated it? that's why when you came up to him asking him to participate in 'no hair november' proudly showing him your week build up of armpit hair, he was hesitant. but god you looked so pretty like this, bushy brows and prickly legs, so what could be the harm in growing some hair himself? it took 4 days for jisung's stubble to finally appear. when he looked in the mirror and saw the light shadow on his chin he was nervous to go and show you, but you beat him to it, his phone rang loudly, your contact name, 'my star💫' shining on him screen. when he picked up your smiling face appeared on the screen, "ji baby look at how much my hairs grown!" you pointed the camera at you legs showing off how the stubble has turned into soft leg hair. jisung smiled warmly at your happiness forgetting that his face was on screen, "oh my goodness sungie look at that stubble!" he quickly moved the camera, only showing his forehead on the screen, "ahh stop it, it's embarrassing" he heard you giggle, "you look so good sung, and it's for a good cause, show it off!" you saw the the camera slowly pan out, his full face coming into view, a shy smile on his face, you were definitely going to start hiding his razor from him.

Self Aware AU: Arthur Morgan

A/N: Red Dead Redemption my beloved, Arthur morgan my beloved, Morgan Arthur my beloved, Sadie my beloved pls reblog if you want !! likes don't help push stuff out there :,(

♡ Learning that he wasn't real and was just in a video game was the hardest thing he's ever done and that's saying something. You're telling him that this whole time, every single interaction he had was scripted? 'coded' or whatever the hell that means

♡ To be honest, he only learned what a 'video game' was when he got out of your TV and ended up on your floor, which was completely on accident by the way

♡ He knew something was wrong

♡ The way he would die and come back with only a couple dollars missing and everyone acting like nothing happened, the way everything reset back to a certain point before he died

♡ All he knew really was there was some strange person staring at him and controlling him- not that he realized it at first. Before, this was just natural for him. He thought he was the one controlling himself like every other human

♡ Felt like a puppet when he decided to test it by moving to another place just for you to yell at the game

♡ Most of the stuff you say he doesn't understand by the way

♡ 'For real'? 'Tumblr'? 'Pinterest'? 'tiktok' 'red Dead Redemption'?

♡ And how the hell are you calling somebody through a box? And how are you taking photos with it? and 'recording'? And you can watch movies from the comfort of your own home? The hell is a TV?

♡ Doesn't learn any of these things even after getting to your reality- It confuses him too much and he's decided he does not need it

♡ But once he's come to terms with the fact he's stuck in some weird fever dream (his theory) he tries to communicate with the only real person around; you

♡ Whenever you successfully rob someone he's always praising you, telling you good job and we did good

♡ You never understood who 'we' was

♡ On days where you were upset and clung to the game to try and find some way of comforting yourself, Arthur made it his goal to make you smile at least once

♡ Whether it be poking fun at one of his fellows or making fun interactions for you with Uncle

♡ When he does manage to get out of the screen, you panick for sure. Some random man coming out of your TV screen and BREAKING IT? yeah, not the best moment.

♡ Especially when it was late at night

♡ You had just realized he was aware and yet you managed to know what was happening wayyyy quicker than he did. You had to explain everything to him- Video games, TV's, consoles, phones, anything technology wise

♡ He still didn't get it

♡ Thought you were trying to poison him when you offered him soda (he doesn't like it)

♡ Overall, he has accepted it. Not completely but for the most part. It's hard to accept that everyone and everything you've ever loved isn't real and you were never supposed to be aware of it

♡ Thank God he got you out of it though

Sheesh pookie I really wish Gazans had your first-world country problems, comfortably posting 4-chan looking wojack memes, making fun of protestors like a true neckbeard edgelord and responding with outdated millennial-humor reaction gifs to serious issues, instead of ... you know, getting bombed and displaced? But yeah, a mean antisemitic thing some rando said in the other side of the globe is the main issue and what we should REALLY worry about, sure...what a world we live in lol.

Girl help the westoids think that memeing from a bomb shelter surrounded by canned food and medical supplies while missiles explode above your apartment is somehow a "privilege" because The Other SideTM of the Exotic Conflict they're currently fandoming about doesn't give 2 shits about its civilian population that's acting as its human meatshield! Damn I guess Ukrainians in Kyiv are also having the absolute time of their lives. Yall Kony2012ers are really something bshfnjfjsb I'll tell you what a world we live in - its one where you can sit ur dumbass in ur comfortable home 8000km away from the war u consoom on tiktok like a football game and watch me die while I commit the cardinal sin of using the internet in a way you don't like! Count ur blessings <3

The Arrakis Royal Ballet in Arrakeen has just had a crisis of leadership under the management of the CHOAM Foundation which oversees its board, and Vladimir Harkonnen has been ousted as chairman, which means two things: Oh thank god we don't have to watch the same 5 Tchaikovsky shows over and over again this season, Swan Lake and The Firebird are FINE but GOD- and the Company's default leading man for every performance, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, will suddenly have to compete for his slot.

That's totally fine, but the next person to fill the board's slot is Leto Atredies, a man who's actively investigating the Harkonnens for using the Ballet for money laundering as well as reputation laundering, and his son, Paul Atredies, is about to make his international debut after being quietly... discouraged, from applying. Still, whether as a PR move or an olive branch, Leto suggests a Ballet to fit the bill: Giselle.

It's French, so it will give people something different from the aggressively Russian fare Vlad had selected for the last several seasons. ...A bit unfair, perhaps, Chani had been hoping for Balanchine outside of Christmas, but Feyd never expected he'd even get so much as Italian. Paul Atredies was taught by masters in the classical French schools and he's got the light, precise, delicate footwork and speed to show for it. Hell with that slight frame, and some of the moves Feyd has seen him do on TikTok, which is about the only place he's been able to perform up until now, there have even been whispers he could perform the female roles just as easily.

But Giselle is good. It will give Chani some space to show off her acting chops as she falls in love and goes insane, casts Irulan well as a cold and vicious wraith queen, ordering men to their deaths, and it's underperformed- often because it requires two strong male leads in the same company.

As soon as he hears the name Feyd-Rautha doesn't kid himself about which role he'll be playing. Even if he didn't personally prefer Hilarion to the lying noble prick Albrecht is revealed to be, there's no way the new chairman's son and anointed star is going to be the one drowned like a rat in a bucket by the end of act two.

Besides, Feyd knows what the last act requires physically, and he's seen Atredies throwing his whole body into full spins again and again through the air in his million dollar barre studio online. Feyd's just not going to let a spoiled green debutante get away with blowing this for everyone else.

So on the first day of rehearsals, while Chani and Stilgar are off with the set designer, discussing the frankly insane decision to replace the woods and lake with a desert terrain out of Lawrence of Arabia, Feyd-Rautha sidles up to their untested new danseur noble as he laces his shoes.

"I hear you're our new Duke of Arrakis."

#So a fun fact about me is that I did hardcore Russian ballet as a kid with a little old 70-something year old woman who Knew Her Shit until #I got too tall and she told me No Man Will Lift You'. So I took 10 seconds to think about this and I have something.#If people are confused on the last line i didn't want to spell things out too much but Albrecht is a Duke #duneposting #feydpaul #feyd rautha #paul atredies #chani kynes #dune fanfiction #feyd rautha fanfic #dune au #ballet au #dune

Opening Act | Track 1 | Arthur Hill

Pairing: Arthur Hill x f!Reader Warnings: Fluff Word count: 1.8k+ A/N: Yayy my first series! I still don't know how I feel about this series though and I'm still trying to figure out the best flow for this series. Hope you enjoy!! Series Masterlist

Track 2 (coming soon)

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Arthur stood backstage, tucked away out of view as he watched you take the stage. The energy in the venue shifted as you stepped into the spotlight. Despite having performed on stage before, this was your first time in front of a crowd this big, your first show opening for him. He could sense your nerves, just by the way you were slightly shifting your weight as you stood in front of the mic, awaiting your cue.

The intro of your song started to fill the air. It was THE song. The one that had sent a flurry of mixed feelings rushing through his head. The song that had changed whatever friendly relationship you two had forever. And now, as he listened to the audience scream along to every word, it felt more real than ever. He knew he had to talk to you about it, the two of you had to figure it out, even if you were avoiding him right now.

He felt a swell of pride knowing just how hard you had worked for this moment. But in the back of his mind, he couldn't shake that feeling of guilt nagging at him, the fact that he had almost messed all this up for you.

Arthur couldn't pinpoint exactly when or how it all happened. Everything was great in the start, absolutely perfect. Now, he just wanted things to go back to the way they were, and he couldn't help but think back to the first time he had met you. ---------------

Arthur was in his room, just another Wednesday night.

He had spent most of the day in the studio, working on new music with his producer and had just gotten back home from his studio session. He was now settled into his desk chair, the soft glow of his computer screen illuminating the dimly lit room while soft music played in the background. As his playlist cycled through various tracks, one song in particular grabbed his attention.

It was your latest song.

Arthur couldn't help but feel a soft smile spread across his face as he listened to your music. There was something about your music that seemed to draw him in. He was impressed with your songwriting and absolutely swooned at your voice. And your voice…it was like honey to his ears, buttery smooth, yet so unique at the same time.

He had stumbled upon your music completely by accident, finding your account on TikTok, but from the moment he heard your music, he was hooked. Despite your relatively small original discography, he found himself spending hours scrolling through your TikTok feed, watching your videos and song covers. There was something in your lyrics that spoke to him on a deeper level.

With a sigh, Arthur picked up his phone, instinctively opening your profile. As he scrolled through your feed, he couldn't help but admire not just your talent, but your beauty as well. Over the past few weeks, he found himself developing a somewhat of a crush on you. But he quickly pushes the thought away, mentally scolding himself, after all, you didn't even know him.

With a shake of his head, Arthur decided that he needed to distract himself. Without further hesitation, he started a live stream on his TikTok.

It was just another Wednesday night for you as well.

You sat cross-legged on your bed, strumming your guitar absentmindedly, the soft sound of the chords filling the room with a gentle hum. A candle flickered on your nightstand, casting a warm glow on the walls as you tried to get the melody stuck in your head out onto paper. But writer's block had other plans, and with a frustrated groan, you continued to strum, hoping for inspiration to strike.

With a resigned sigh, you set your guitar aside, giving up on writing for the day. Instead, you reach for your phone, pulling up TikTok and scrolling through.

You spent the next few minutes reading and responding to comments on your most recent TikTok. As a budding musician, you had started out by posting covers on Instagram and TikTok. It was only recently that you decided to take the plunge into songwriting and put out your own stuff, something that you had always dreamed of.

Despite the challenges, you absolutely loved the few songs you had put out so far, extremely proud of each and every one of them. Over time, you had garnered a small but dedicated fanbase, who were your biggest supporters.

Arthur settled comfortably into his bed, live streaming on TikTok as the chat buzzed with questions and comments from his viewers. Reading them aloud, he responded eagerly.

"Hey Arthur, who's your favorite roommate?" one comment read, prompting a chuckle from Arthur. "Anyone but Chris, he’s just a mean little man," he quipped jokingly. After a moment's pause, he leaned closer to the camera, whispering, "George... but technically he’s actually my boyfriend," he says between laughs, before shaking his head and adding, “No...It's pretty fun living with all the boys, they're all my favorite roommate.”

"When are you going on tour?" another viewer asked, and Arthur's smile widened. "Soon, hopefully! We're planning a few shows for the upcoming album," he shared eagerly, his excitement palpable. "Right now I want to focus on the new album though—there's gonna be some really good stuff," he added, sounding enthusiastic.

But it was when someone asked, "What's your favorite song at the moment?" that Arthur's expression softened. "You know, there's this one song I've been listening to on repeat lately called 'Honey'," he began, a small smile lingering on his lips. "It's by an artist called Y/N, and let me tell you, her music is honestly banging. I wish she had more songs," he added, genuine admiration evident in his voice.

At the mention of your name, Arthur's chat exploded with a mix of comments about you. ‘Oh, I love her music’, ‘I've seen her TikToks, she seems like such a sweetheart’, ‘Who's that?’, ‘Her music's kind of boring’, ‘She's really talented!’, ‘She’s so pretty…I ship it!’, ‘She’s fit’, ‘I can't stop listening to her latest song!’, ‘I haven't heard of her before’, ‘I'll have to check her out, but I'm not convinced yet’

Arthur reads through the comments, laughing at a few of them, ignoring the mean-spirited ones, "Yeah, I follow her on TikTok," his smile genuine. "She seems really cool." With a quick glance back at the comments, he resumed answering more questions.

You had shifted your focus to your laptop at this point, chucking your phone to your side, going through some emails. However, your phone continued to buzz incessantly with notifications. Confused, you retrieved your phone and saw a flurry of TikTok notifications flooding your screen. What you thought would just be another ordinary night had suddenly taken an unexpected turn.

Your brows furrowed as you opened up the app, greeted by a stream of messages from your followers, ‘OMG, Arthur Hill just mentioned you on his live!’, ‘Arthur Hill just talked about you on his live!’, ‘Arthur Hill follows you?! That's amazing!’, ‘You should join Arthur on his live!’

Curious about who he was, you quickly searched for Arthur Hill’s TikTok profile. His impressive follower count left you momentarily awestruck. You noticed that he was currently live, and without hesitation, you clicked onto his live stream. Your heart pounded in your chest as you joined.

Almost instantly, Arthur's gaze seemed to zero in on your username, and the corners of his lips lifted into a small, surprised smile. His heart raced as he realized that you had joined his stream. A blush crept up his cheeks, betraying his sudden nervousness. "Wait, I think Y/n just joined this live. No way!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine surprise and excitement.

The chat erupted with comments, ‘Y/N's here!’, ‘Arthur noticed her!’, ‘OMG, Y/N joined!’, 'Finally, the moment we've been waiting for!' among others, as viewers reacted to your presence.

"Do you want to join the live, Y/N?" Arthur asks eagerly, his voice betraying a hint of nervousness as he scans the comments for your response. The chat erupted with encouragement, 'Oh my gosh, Y/N, join!', 'Yes Y/N join!!', 'Yes, yes, yes, please!'

Your breath caught in your throat as the comments flooded in, urging you to join. Feeling a sudden rush of nerves, you hesitate. You knew Arthur was being kind, but you didn't want to come across as if you were chasing clout. Besides, you were slightly embarrassed that you’d never heard of him before. Yet, in the short time you had been in his live, you couldn't deny that he was charming. There was something about him that felt genuine, and you found yourself drawn to that.

With a deep breath, you made your decision. "Yes! I’d love to," you replied. Feeling even more nervous as Arthur announced on his live, "Y/N's joining!" sending you the request to join the live.

As the invite popped up, you quickly sprang up from your bed, giving yourself a once-over to ensure your appearance was acceptable. With your heart still pounding, you accepted the invitation, your face appearing on the screen beside his.

"Hey, Arthur!" you greeted, your voice bubbling with a mix of excitement and nervousness. "Thanks for listening to my music. It really means a lot."

Arthur's smile widened at your words. "Of course, Y/N! Your music is amazing. I have your songs on repeat.”

You couldn't help but blush at his compliments. "Honestly, I’m a bit embarrassed that I haven’t listened to your music before," you admitted sheepishly.

But Arthur waved off your concerns with a laugh. "Hahah, Don't worry about it!" You couldn’t help but smile at the way his face crinkled when he laughed.

The two of you hit it off instantly, chatting and laughing as if you'd known each other for years. Arthur's charm was undeniable, and you found yourself hanging onto his every word as the conversation flowed effortlessly. The fans and viewers on the live commenting about how unmistakable the chemistry was between you two, their messages flooding the chat as you spoke like you were the only ones there. Despite this being the first time you’d met, you found yourselves getting along really well.

Arthur couldn't help but be struck by how great you were: smart, funny, witty, and extremely pretty. As he observed you, he felt a connection, sensing that the two of you could actually be friends. For some reason, though, he couldn't shake off a slight feeling of shyness at the thought of becoming closer with you.

After a few more minutes of conversation, you decide to call it a night and bid him goodbye, allowing him to get back to interacting with his viewers. As the live stream came to an end, you couldn't shake the feeling of exhilaration coursing through your veins. Unable to sleep, you spent the rest of the night immersed in Arthur's music, wondering why you hadn't listened to it before. And as you started to wind down for bed, you found yourself eagerly anticipating the next time you would cross paths with him, eager to see where this unexpected connection would lead.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

A/N: This first part is a little short, just to kick the series off. But I promise the rest will be a lot longer. Let me know what you think!

I know thrifting is the new thing on Tiktok.

Could we at least be a LITTLE bit genuine and SAY when we're in a consignment store and not a thrift store?

I know, the views for that AmAzInG fInD but it's just so disingenuous and when you add it to the gatekeeping the shop name?

#TIP speaks #We know I love thrifting like #But it's just so fake?#Your thrift store has wooden shelves and security tags on their bags?#Okkayyyyy #Today I found another vintage-y coach pouch at an actual thrift store #Like an actual they sell empty boxes and stained and ripped clothes thrift store #Like you have to essentially go diving in the bags thrift store #You can find stuff!#But there is a difference between a thrift store and a consignment store #and these tiktokers act like they don't know that

Every time I see someone making fun of neopronouns I can't help but think they aren't living in the real world. Someone using xe/xyr pronouns isn't the issue, it's these fake scenarios where you pretend to be victimised by it that are.

#tiktok #video #my face #ok to reblog #also be fr no one in the history of humanity has ever introduced themselves to you like this #especially not irl #almost everyone I've met who uses neopronouns tells me they only use them online or with a trusted group of people #and when you act like this you don't have to worry about ending up in said trusted group of people #remember that a loooot of bigotry pipelines start with comedy #you justify it saying you're not really being transphobic cause you're only making fun of the 'weird' ones #but we know #we know that's only the beginning

I went on tiktok to just watch some silly Odysseus videos but then I mostly saw people going like "Yeah, maybe Odysseus cried on Calypso' island every day but honestly he had that coming after what he did Achilles and Patroclous/Circe!!!" and "Everything that happens in Odyssey is deserved cuz he took Patrochilles to war!!!" and "I feel so bad for Circe and Calypso and Penelope, they deserved better!!!"

For fucks sake I beg you, read anything different from Millers bs and like educate yourself- And please stop goddamn saying that rape victim. deserved it.

Circe probably didn't give a flying fuck, Calypso is a rapist and abuser and Penelope deserved everything she wanted and SHE WANTED ODYSSEUS

I think I've had enough internet for today, imma go wash my eyes with bleach. Anyways sorry for ranting here, i hope you don't mind it lmao

It's alright. I absolutely understand the vents about the whole thing. :'D No one deserves to be a victim of such a thing no matter WHAT they've done. I hope your eyes are okay after the bleach

Like Odysseus does so many fucked up things but Calypso and Circe? He is the victim. Period. It's very clear that Odysseus is in extreme distress on Ogygia. And Circe wasn't some sort of FwB situation. There's fear and numbness in the language he uses when talking about it. There's so much victim blaming and it SUCKS.

While back then it probably wouldn't be considered SA but now? It clearly is.

Even then, Odysseus' journey was kind of about "temptation" or just straight up "Die or get out of my sea." From Poseidon. "I don't want you in my waters so I'm gonna try and give you things that will keep you on land or just kill you."

Immortal goddesses wanting you would be many people's dream come true but not for Odysseus. And I think that's the point. His determination, how he clawed his way back into the arms he never wanted to leave in the first place, is incredible. Many people would've given up and just started a new life but he never would because no life he could ever create would compare to the life he had before. Even if it's different, it's what he's always wanted.

He literally tells Calypso "I'm not stopping until I'm home. I don't care if I suffer more until I do. I'm going home."

“Mighty goddess, do not be angry with me over this. I myself know very well Penelope, although intelligent, is not your match to look at, not in stature or in beauty. But she’s a human being and you’re a god. You’ll never die or age. But still I wish, every moment to get back to my home, to see the day of my return. And so, even if out there on the wine-dark sea some god breaks me apart, I will go on— the heart here in my chest is quite prepared to bear affliction. I’ve already had so many troubles, and I’ve worked so hard through waves and warfare. Let what’s yet to come be added in with those.”

(Book 5, Johnston)

Circe's a goddess and what happened is nothing like Dionysus and Ariadne and Apollo and Hyacinthus for example. Circe never gave Odysseus a crown of stars and he would never go out of his way to kill 120 people for bothering her. They did not love each other and he can't refuse as she's a goddess.

If you interpret them sleeping together the entire year,(It's only explicitly said that they had sex once so that's what I go with personally.) that doesn't mean he was happy with it! Even then, the whole situation is not what a healthy FwB should look like! I'm asexual and even I know that no one in a FwB situation should have to BEG in any way that basically says "Please let me go or kill me" with supplication!!! The fact that he leaves so quickly he forgets one of his men? The fact that during Elpenor's funeral, he doesn't greet Circe himself? He was avoiding her. Wouldn't he want to get "one last night together" during Book 12 if they were fwb? 🙄

It's bonkers to me that people hate him for being a "cheater" when A.) having multiple lovers wasn't uncommon in Ancient Greece, and B.) the two people he is explicitly said to have "cheated" with, weren't his choice. He wasn't actively searching for pretty women either!!!

As mentioned, while it was common for men to have many lovers, Odysseus never had any listed unlike some of the other men. (not bashing any of them. I'm just making a point in comparison.) He also has no other children besides Telemachus in Homer's works. There's no evidence of him having other lovers other than speculation. (funny enough, I once read somewhere that the reason why Odysseus is so mean is because he doesn't "bond" enough with the other soldiers. 😂)

Does that mean he didn't have other lovers? Technically, Nope! It's just never explicitly stated either way. He has slaves but none were ever said to be concubines or that he sleeps with them. He has deep bonds with his fellow soldiers but that doesn't mean he sleeps with them. That doesn't mean people can't write or talk about him doing so even though it's not mentioned! Just like it also means that someone can write him not doing so as there's nothing that says it either way in Homer's Works! :D

It's fucked up when people say "He didn't try to leave Calypso enough" or something of the like. It just tells you how A.) they didn't read the Odyssey or have piss on the poor reading comprehension or B.) ...you should probably stay away from that person...

With Circe though??? I can understand the confusion but digging deeper and looking at the text, he wasn't having a good time. Or at the very least was walking on Eggshells the whole time. I hate bringing up that essay over and over again but like...I literally wrote everything there.

I also don't like how people take Circe's morally gray-ness away from her. Let her do something fucked up to be fucked up!!! Let her traumatize Odysseus!

Idk, I kind of hate that I'm "known" for this but I relate to this idiot asshole a lot and it means a lot to me that his story, despite what happens to him, has a happy ending :'D

#Thank goodness I don't have tiktok >:)#I wish there was a way to like. have anonymous posts? because I made that PTSD post to show how him refusing to be bathed #by Nausica's maids and him choking Euryclea and was giving reference to make a point but I wish I wasn't like. Known for this???#but like... I HAVE something to say. Having specific knowledge of some things just...really makes it clear in what happened that I don't #think others have considered.#And I was afraid if I was “vague” then people would say “You're just saying that to get sympathy points” and I didn't want to deal with #that :'D plus like in his outbursts I saw myself you know?#I just kept thinking “oh shit. I KNOW what you're doing because I did it too aAAAAAHHHHHHHHh”#I relate to Helen too but in a way. The Odyssey shows her “HEALED” (which fuck yeah!!! YESSS!!!😭) it doesn't show the #PTSD in the same way as she's had many years to recover. Watching it happen in “real time” for Odysseus was...really nice.#i said it before but the Odyssey feels REAL compared to the “girlboss queen slay” shit. Him tryiing to force himself into normalcy #only to act out is...yeah.#save me morally gray circe #ask #anon #Mad rambles #tw sa #tw ptsd #tw sex assault #anti madeline miller #anti circe #essay
