a miscreant little boy

if we're black sails homeric epic / odyssey-posting. I think miranda functions as a sort of amalgam and stand-in for so many of the epic's women. she's cassandra. knowing the future, but never believed. she's penelope. husband forcibly taken as a result of political machinations beyond her control (presumed dead). she's helen. fleeing her husband's house with another man. she's calypso. trapped on an island, only her lover for company. she's circe. the strong and beguiling witch. she's athena. providing wise council and divine guidance. she's clytemnestra. her fury strikes down a powerful man, as revenge for what she's lost. mistress, wife, mother. indeed

The heros journey keeps trying to get me but ive been unloading an entire clip of 9mm into every mentor that tries to teach me anything. Ive killed 7 wizards this way.

Refusal of the Call

Don’t forget to imagine the best case scenario too babe

I've seen kink scenarios where one party to a relationship really wants to be the princess in some sort princess/knight dynamic and the other is too normie to properly play their part, and I agree that's funny as hell, but I think the converse scenario where the "princess" is the one who's trying to be normal about it also has legs.

Like, I'm not specifically proposing a Don Quixote inflected kink scenario, but I'm not not proposing that, either.

(No, this is not just straight people. When straight people gesture in this direction they almost invariably cast the knight as a dominant party who merely pretends at submission. To go full Quixote, the knight needs to earnestly be trying to sub to someone who lacks the temperament to be an effective dom.)
