This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think you’re 25 or something. Yay!

Alfred died in 899, and his bones were repeatedly moved. He was buried in Winchester Cathedral until 1110, when his remains were moved to Winchester's Hyde Abbey, where they were interred before the high altar between the bodies of his wife and son. The abbey was demolished after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539, and the place was left in ruins. In 1866, during construction of a workhouse on the site, the English antiquarian John Mellor excavated the area, found what he thought were Alfred's bones and had them reburied at nearby St. Bartholemew’s Church. But in 2013, when archaeologists exhumed and carbon-dated the bones from St. Bartholomew’s churchyard, they proved to date from over 200 years after Alfred’s death - sparking Graham's interest and search. He said: "Whoever’s bones they were, they weren’t Alfred’s. So, I decided to discover what happened to them. "The quest has taken me 13 years.”

I hate it because it is often used as a way to (physically) weaken and punish female characters in a way that is so true to life and the way pregnancy is often used to control women in our world, instead of touching on the way it melds into real world oppression and reproductive coercion, it is more like “What if you were pregnant but it wasn’t a cute little baby that you’re going to love, what if it was The Creature?” A cis man, a demographic of person who should not be able to get pregnant being pregnant empathizes the sheer horror, loss of agency, desperation, confusion and possible shame/embarrassment of an unwanted and unplanned pregnancy. AND having the subject be a person who should not be able to be pregnant raises interesting implications about the physical toll on the body and the very real possibility of death. These are things women are expected to face bravely and without complaint, they’re expected to prioritize and love the parasite invading their body without their consent. And hey, maybe if it was the other way around, it could help a few cis men watching gain some perspective on the topic.

It was the most satisfying workday I’ve had since I got hired.

Please, I must know, what became of this?
