“How do we forgive our fathers? Maybe in a dream. Do we forgive our fathers for leaving us too often, or forever, when we were little? Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage, or making us nervous because there never seemed to be any rage there at all? Do we forgive our fathers for marrying, or not marrying, our mothers? Or divorcing, or not divorcing, our mothers? And shall we forgive them for their excesses of warmth or coldness? Shall we forgive them for pushing, or leaning? For shutting doors or speaking through walls? For never speaking, or never being silent? Do we forgive our fathers in our age, or in theirs? Or in their deaths, saying it to them or not saying it. If we forgive our fathers, what is left?”
— Thomas Builds-the-Fire, Smoke Signals (Sherman Alexie)
“He says ‘I don’t get it, why are you still a virgin at 24?’ He says ‘I don’t believe you, I’ve seen you walk, virgins don’t walk like that’ He says, ‘That ain’t natural, people are supposed to fuck.’ He asks ‘Why though? No offence though.’ I ask ‘When was your first time?’ He says ‘I was 12’ He says ‘I know what you’re thinking, that’s too young.’ I look at his knuckles, he has two good hands. He says ‘She was older than me.’ I ask ‘How old?’ And he says ‘It’s better that the girl is older, that’s how I learnt all things I know’ He licks his lips. I ask again ‘How old?’ He says ‘I could use one finger to make you sob’ I think of my brother in prison and I can’t remember his face. I ask again ‘How old?’ He says ‘Boys become men in the laps of women, you know?’ I think of my mothers faced lined with her bad choices in men. He says ‘If you were mine you wouldn’t get away with this shit, I’d eat you for hours, I’d gut you like fruit.’ I think of my cousins circumcision, how she feels like a mermaid, not human from the waist down. He says ‘I’d look after you, you know?’ I laugh, I ask for the last time ‘How old?’ He says ’34.’ He says ‘She was beautiful though and I know what you’re thinking but it’s not like that, I’m a man, I’m a man, I’m a man. No one could ever hurt me’.”

the way i am drawn to the nicknames for elizabeth "buffy" and "effie" but those are literally two Very Recognizable Fictional Characters that i don't feel like i can steal from LMAO
"priska" is also a really lovely name but i don't think i have to explain what's wrong with that one 👁
"bianca" is the most conventionally attractive and not embarrassing name i am tossing around right now and that can help but i really do like. the idea of an Unusual riff off my birth name, which i'm not ashamed of anymore. my family called me libby that didn't feel right but maybe it always was onto something. idfk.
desurgeons desurgeons
i bought some very femmey clothes recently, lookie
this is my torrid haul from today plus a bunch of stuff i Already Owned just to give a feel for my Budding Femmey Wardrobe, i have been really feeling very cute lately in a lot of these
i'm trying to replace my "boxy t-shirts and camo pants" wardrobe with just. pretty things. idk. sobs.
okay adding some more pictures because i got limited before
i got all these from halara i'm waiting on
the black is experimental as fuck and probably going to get sent back, probably the green courderoy too, but i know the longer ones are my style™ and the dress will be good with the denim jacket as well
oh I forgot my athletic dress from torrid, i can't find it on the app. oh well. it's black with built in shorts and a gauzy skirt.
uhhhhhhh midnight hour okay
i wore this skirt to the RKS concert
i don't actually love this next one tbh but it was one of my very first purchases a while back and yeah. it's actually a body suit and a skirt, and i don't dig how they look on me. if anyone wants them please hmu
this dress needs a belt but i'm fat so it's a work in progress
celestial cocktail dress i got to try for masquerade that will be versatile later
uhhh and i guess there is another dress that i also don't like very much lmao i am NOT digging the all black for myself these days. i can't find it on the website anymore, but if anyone is curious i can take a pic of it and if anyone wants it By All Means. Take Her Away.
on toooo dark cottage in the next reblog
and dark cottage time
i am getting these soon allegedly. this top will be in purple and it can be worn both of these ways

FAVE TIME. i have this patchwork skirt i ADORE. not this tank top but this jacket as well, the artificer jacket. very soft and flowy

there are some "fancier" dresses i got from VERY cheap sites just for masquerade that aren't worth a picture but they did the job for that. i also got stuff from holy clothing for ren faire but that's another vibe entirely, not really everyday wear
all in all, i just wanna get rid of the body suit, sheer black skirt, and unpictured halter dress so if any goths want a go at it, hmu
so yes! this is just what i've been accumulating over the past many months and i don't feel as dysphoric which means i'm happier so i'll recover financially (lmao) and be cuter about it and everything

my piece for the turbophone! (learned a lot of disturbing facts about seabirds in the process) we had 24 hours to draw from the previous participant's picture, check out the wonderful and unexpected transformations in all the teams!
And then you had that dream again.
has anyone considered that it was probably her house too. where else was she supposed to put her chintz?
I like this question because I think it really gets at the power dynamics at the center of the poem!
The poem frames "him" as subordinate in several ways, not just to the narrator ("i fuck him on the floor": not that getting fucked is inherently subordinating, but the narrator has all the agency in the phrase, "he" doesn't decide what happens or where) but also to "his wife". She has filled the house with chintz, meaning it wasn't his decision or his actions. "Filled" is also a choice of words that suggests that there is no space for him in the home: the only place left for him, not already filled, is the floor. To me this framing invokes the trope of the henpecked husband, whose wife has taken dominion over the home and who has ceded its control to her because it, as the domestic space, is "supposed" to be hers.
This trope, of course, is misogynist in its normative rendition: it reinforces gender essentialism, it erases the significant material benefits such "henpecked" men derive from the domestic labor of their spouses, and it dismisses women's expressions of suffering and attempts at negotiating terms for their relationships as "nagging." In the narrator's dismissal of the wife's possessions as "chintz" (frivolous, feminine, contrasted with what is "real") we can see this same misogyny at play.
The narrator's misogyny, and the central fact of the poem which is that the husband is getting fucked by someone other than the wife, quite possibly flip the power dynamics of the poem on their heads. The wife is now subordinated: both by her social marginalization based on gender (a marginalization which drives her into the home and confines her there, like OP so cogently points out! As "he" has run out of room in the home and can only get fucked on the floor, so has she run out of room socially; the only place she can control and make decisions like filling it with chintz is the home), and by the narrator who is fucking her husband in her home.
There's an additional dynamic in reading the narrator as male, which most readers seem to have done: it invokes the particular, bitter misogyny that men-loving-men sometimes direct at women expressing femininity. There's an envy to it, of course--straight and straight-passing women get to (are forced to) express desire for men, have sex with men, marry men, love and be loved by men. His wife gets to be his wife: the narrator gets to fuck him, in their home. Straight and straight-passing women also get to (are forced to) perform femininity: they can buy chintz and decorate with it, without being devastatingly punished for it like people presumed to be men are from the time they're babies. The envy mixes with misogyny to produce disdain, disgust, dismissal. We can read the narrator fucking him on the floor of their home as an expression of power and dominance (again, not that the fucking has to mean the narrator is topping, or that topping is inherently dominant, but the phrasing is stark: "i fuck him", the narrator acts upon him as an object/recipient), not just over him but over the wife in absentia as well.
I think one of the things that makes the poem so compelling for being so short is the struggle at the heart of it, this complicated jostling for power between three people and their actions over time (the wife "has filled" the house, in the past: the narrator fucks him in the present, perhaps in the habitual). Who controls the house? Who controls "him"?
Great poem, great discussion question, love everyone in this bar <3
they got married btw
oh you’re not kidding
