I'm surprised the knight kink crowd hasn't picked up on the fact that historical knights had a habit of capturing each other for ransom. What do you mean you don't see the sexual tension in rivals seeking each other out in battle or through ambush, deliberately avoiding harming their target so they may be taken back to the attacker's castle, either held as a prisoner or as a honored "guest" as the case may be, until they are redeemed by their friends and allies?

@tenderheartedbrat

enemies to lovers arc where a knight takes a rival prisoner and then the captive's awful relatives just don't pay the ransom.

Hahaha, not yet, love that whole concept though!

OOH OOH like mustard, bastard, custard?

Sort of. Almost all words like that come from the -ard suffix, a perjorative agent suffix. A drunkard is a drunk person, a dullard is a dull person, a wizard is a wise person. Mustard is what you get by adding it to Old French moust, meaning unfermented juice, cognate with English musty. Bastard is what you get from Frankish *bast meaning marriage. But custard is an exception; it's from croustade meaning an edible container filled with food (often custard).

“I love you” is all nice and good, but nothing compares to “I love you, but shut the fuck up”

It’s about the bad jokes, like how my mom introduces her husband of 40 years as her ex boyfriend
