I'm regularly alarmed by the amount of slack people will cut a middle-aged man composed entirely of red flags. And I don't mean understanding that nobody is just evil and people are complex and having compassion and such. I don't mean finding them interesting or compelling. I don't even mean the tongue-in-cheek self-aware "He has never done anything wrong in his entire life." I get the joke, honest.

I mean putting their suffering (usually as a result of their own actions) above that of the people they have hurt or are actively still hurting. I mean insisting they're actually sweet guys, they're just misunderstood. I know it's not doing any actual harm, I know the difference between fiction and reality. I don't think it's unethical or dangerous to do this, I just think it's bad analysis.

It's not just fictional men either. The professor who takes advantage of his students. The unhappy dad who's totally going to leave his wife any day now to marry his 20 year old girlfriend. Every writer who gets praised for a wish fulfillment novel where his self-insert is saved by a pretty young muse who really gets him and has no motivation beyond solving all his problems.

"But he's sad!" Bitch he's an adult. It's not your job to bail him out of his shitty life.

It's funny because I created an OC specifically as an antagonist/inciting incident for another character. He's an arrogant, patronizing bastard with awful judgment and a questionable attitude toward medical consent. I find him interesting as a character, but the response from other people was "daddy..." and I was like oh my God no. He is not daddy. He is not babygirl. He is not a really good guy underneath it all. 90% of his tragic backstory is his own fault.

And I love this character! I use him for text role-playing and he's so much fun. But he's horrible. He's horrible on purpose. Being horrible is central to his character. If you meet a man like this in the wild, fucking run.

« I am lost with no key. And I worry there's no easy way out of this place. I'm the pain that I cause. Must I let out all the evil to be healed?

To be healed. Is it really what I want? Don't be mean now, you know how I feel. Give relief, don't be mean to me. Just leave me the key. » ♫ Don’t Be Mean - Sonata Arctica

Griechische Kaffee-Erinnerung: Patmos

Die “heilige Insel” Patmos ist vieles: klein, karg, von apokalyptischer Schönheit, gut besucht und kaum besiedelt. Sie wirkt typisch kykladisch – also würfelige, weiße Häuser mit blauen Türen – selbst, wenn sie es nicht ist, denn sie gehört geografisch zu den Sporaden und politisch zu den Dodekanes. Johannes, Jünger, Evangelist und Verfasser der christlichen Version des Weltuntergangs, soll hier…

When the Varangians honoured the woman who killed her near-rapist

The Varangian Guard (Greek: Τάγμα τῶν Βαράγγων, Tághma tōn Varángōn) was an elite unit of the Byzantine Army from the tenth to the fourteenth century who served as personal bodyguards to the Byzantine emperors. The Varangian Guard was known for being primarily composed of recruits from northern Europe, including mainly Norsemen from Scandinavia but also Anglo-Saxons from England. The recruitment of distant foreigners from outside Byzantium to serve as the emperor's personal guard was pursued as a deliberate policy, as they lacked local political loyalties and could be counted upon to suppress revolts by disloyal Byzantine factions.

The Byzantines had mixed feelings about them, on one hand considering them barbarians and brutes with too much love for alcohol, on the other hand admitting their fierce loyalty to the emperor and their military prowress. They never fled a battle and they would fight to their death. They were also considered fair traders in their transactions between the Byzantine Empire and their northern homelands.

One incident which took place in 1034 helped soldify a positive image of the Varangians to the Byzantines' eyes, so much that the Byzantine Greek chronicler Ioannis Skylitzis, described it in his works as "αξιαφήγητον" (axiaphíyiton, worthy of mentioning / narrating).

According to Skylitzis, a group of Varangians were transferred in the Thracesian Theme (Greek: θέμα Θρᾳκησίων, thema Thrakēsiōn), a military division that at the time encompassed west Asia Minor (not Thrace). One of them once encountered a local woman in an uncrowded place. The man approached the woman suggestively but she rejected his advances. The man attempted to rape her and she seized his sword and killed him. His death was instant as she pierced him through his heart.

Art in Skylitzis' manuscript where the woman is erroneously depicted to kill the man with a spear instead of a sword.

Once the incident became known in the area, the Varangians made a gathering in which they agreed to honour the woman for killing their companion. They offered her all the valuable belongings of the killed Varangian, whom they left unburied. According to Varangian law, the rapists of married women were punished with execution, therefore the Varangians reasoned that the woman simply implemented the law by killing their companion.

The manuscripts of Skylitzis are kept in the National Library of Madrid.

Women in Film Challenge 2024: [20/52] John the Violent, dir. Tonia Marketaki (Greece, 1973)

Don’t you see what the newspapers write for those who kill? They’re being admired and feared – that means respected. History is written by the murderers! From David to Orestes, from Alexander the Great to Constantine the Great and Napoleon – they were all murderers. You need to have strength to kill, and those ones had it! Who were born great were born killers. But if you haven’t got the strength, you’re lost. You are but the “unknown soldier” who dies during battle. That one hasn’t got the power, the genius of murder. He is forced by others to kill and when he does kill, he has qualms, he feels guilty, and tries to find an excuse, a pretext, to kill and punish himself.

VAPOUR

cw/tw: vaping, shotgunning, kissing, hot as HELL, incredibly spicy I could like- die rn

He will never admit it, but he finds it so hot watching that flavoured smoke pour out of your mouth, rising slowly, lingering in the air for a few seconds before dissipating. He clears his throat to catch your attention "You gonna share, babydoll?" He asks, looking toward the device in your hand "Uhhh sure!" "No- he chuckles -not like that". Confusion adorns your cute little features as he steps closer... And closer... Closing the gap between you two until your faces are mere inches away from each other "Like this..." He takes your vaping device and inhales deeply before placing his mouth upon yours, letting the smoke enter yours, you can't help but moan and lace your fingers in his hair, the action hotter than you'd ever imagined, sure, you've missed before, but never like this, it was intoxicating, you never wanted to stop, you could die like this, seconds felt like hours, and just like that, he pulled away and smirked "Like that.".

-DABI, Shinso, Toji, Sukuna, CAELUS, Ioannis, Nils, Laito, EREN, Cassidy, Scaramouche(?), JUDD, Mello
