FOR WANT OF A SPOUSE - CHAPTER 8: A WOMAN OF PLEASURE
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
I had a feeling theyād do this. For those who missed Lovecraft Country, HBO just posted the premiere episode for free!
Humans AreĀ Weird
So there has been a bit ofĀ āwhat if humans were the weird ones?ā going around tumblr at the moment and Earth Day got me thinking. Earth is a wonky place, the axis tilts, the orbit wobbles, and the ground spews molten rock for goodness sakes. What if what makes humans weird is just our capacity to survive? What if all the other life bearing planets are these mild, Mediterranean climates with no seasons, no tectonic plates, and no intense weather?Ā
What if several species (including humans) land on a world and the humans are allĀ āSCORE! Earth like world! Letās get exploring before we get out competed!ā And the planet starts offing the other aliens right and left, electric storms, hypothermia, tornadoes and the humans are just ⦠there⦠counting seconds between flashes, having snowball fights, and just surviving.Ā
To paraphrase one of my favorite bits of aĀ āhumans are awesomeā fiction megapost:Ā āyou donāt know youāre from a Death World until you leave it.ā For a ton of reasons, I really like the idea of Earth being Space Australia.
Earth being Space Australia Words cannot express how much I love these posts
Alien: āIām sorry, whatĀ did you just say your comfortable temperature range is?ā
Human:Ā āHonestly we can tolerate anywhere from -40 to 50 Celcius, but we prefer the 0 to 30 range.ā
Alien:Ā āā¦ā¦. Iām sorry, did you just list temperatures below freezing?ā
Human:Ā āYeah, but most of us prefer to throw on scarves or jackets at those temperatures it can be a bit nippy.āĀ
Other human:Ā āNah mate, I knew this guy in college who refused to wear anything past his knees and elbows until it was -20 at least.ā
Human:Ā āHeh. Yeah everybody knows someone like that.ā
Alien:Ā āā¦ā¦. And did you also say 50 Celcius? As in, half way to boiling?ā
Human:Ā āEugh. Yes. It sucks, we sweat everywhere, and god help you if you touch a seatbelt buckle, but yes.āĀ
Alien:Ā āā¦ā¦. Weāve got like 50 uninhabitable planets we think you might enjoy.āĀ
āYouāre telling me that you have⦠settlements. On islands with active volcanism?ā āWell, yeah. Iām not about to tell Iceland and Hawaii how to live their lives. Actually, itās kind of a tourist attraction.ā āWhat, the molten rock?ā āWell, yeah! Itās not every day you see a mountain spew out liquid rocks! The best one is Yellowstone, though. All these hot springs and geysers from the supervolcanoāā āYou ACTIVELY SEEK OUT ACTIVE SUPERVOLCANOES?ā āShit, man, we swim in the groundwater near them.ā
Sounds like the āDamnedā trilogy by Alan Dean Foster.
āAnd you say the poles of your world would get as low as negative one hundred with wind chill?āĀ
āYup, with blizzards you cant see through every other day just about.ā
āAmazing! when did you manage to send drones that could survive such temperatures?ā
ā⦠well, actuallyā¦ā
ā⦠what?ā
āā¦we kindaā¦ā¦. sentā¦ā¦ā¦.. peopleā¦..ā
āā¦ā
āā¦ā
āā¦what?ā
āwe sent-ā
āno yeah I heard you I just- what? You sent⦠HUMANS⦠to a place one hundred degrees below freezing?ā
āy-yeahā
āand they didnāt⦠die?ā
āWell the first few didā
āPEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE???!?!?!?ā
My new favorite Humans are Weird quote
āPEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE?ā
aka The History of Russia
aka Arctic Exploration
aka The History of Alaska
Being from Alaska, this was sort of how I felt going to college in the lower 48ā²s and learned that no one else had been put through a literal survival camp as a regular part of their school curriculum, including but not limited to:
1. Learning to recognize all forms of animal tracks in the wild so you can avoid bears and moose and search out rabbits and other small animals to eat.
2. Extensive swimming and climbing on glacial pieces with competitions to see who could last the longest, followed by a group sit in the sauna so we wouldnāt get hypothermia (no, not kidding, I really did this many times as a kid!)
3. How to navigate using the stars to get back to civilization.
4. How to select the right type of moss from the trees to start a fire with damp wood (because, yāknow, youāre in a field of snow. Nothing is dry.)
5. How to carve out a small igloo-like space to sleep in the snow to preserve body heat and reduce the windchill so you wonāt freeze to death in the arctic.
āIām telling you, I donāt think we need to worry about territory conflicts with the humans. You know all those deathtrap hell-worlds in the Argoth Cluster?ā āThose worthless rocks? Yeah.ā ā80% of them are considered āresort destinationsā by those freaky little primates.ā
āIām telling you, they terraform for fun!ā āDonāt be ridiculousā āNo, seriously. Some of their most celebrated cultural loci are built on swamps. They have an entire city that is literally in a body of water. Not, like, an artificial pontoon city, they literally sunk the foundations into water. For Grilpās sake, they build elaborate structures out of frozen water AND THEN SLEEP IN THEM.ā āDear Thilak. Think we could get them to terraform our moons?ā āPsh, theyād probably pay for the privilege.ā
Eventually, it occurs to someone that humans are the perfect terraforming shock troops, as it were. They think itās fun to be sent to horrible planets! Theyāre really good at surviving and then taming them! All you have to do is sit back and wait until the planet is habitable, and then move there yourself! Itās genius.
It only takes one try before the reality of the situation sets in: human definitions ofĀ ātamingā and āhabitableā are woefully incomplete.
āWhy did you not eliminate the venomous plant life?ā Grahsskāti moans, clutching one limb.
āThose?ā The human laughs.Ā āWhy bother? Theyāre not that bad. And they eat the mosquitoes.ā
Grahsskāti shudders. TheĀ āmosquitoesā are⦠not to be mentioned. Just one swarm of them caused a landing shuttle to crash three planetary daylights ago.
āAnd the acid storms? Why did you not warn us of them?ā
āI mean, theyāre annoying,ā the human says, shrugging,Ā ābut we figured the cool sunsets made up for it.ā
Grahsskāti flails helplessly. āWhat about the ten-meter tall Fanged Death Bringers? They can eliminate an entire settlement in under an hour!ā
āTheyāre so cute!ā the human says, brightening.Ā āHave you met mine? Her name is Spot!ā
Humans are told of some planet or region of space that is consideredĀ ācompletely and utterly inhospitable - it would be folly to try and settle there.ā
Without fail, a decent number make it a point to settle there becauseĀ āFuck You Thatās Why.ā It doesnāt matter how uneconomical it is, how difficult the conditions are, how utterly ridiculous it may seem, there will be at least one human who will attempt to do it only because someone else regardless of species says it is improbable or WORSE impossible.Ā
āThis moon is still forming as such it is primarily soft - by that I mean most of the magma is close to the surface and-ā āOH BADASS you mean its like Mustafar right!?!?!?! Iām totally going to build a castle there.ā āWhat. I mean. There is NO fertile ground there whatsoever. No ecosystem. It is molten rock and minerals only.ā āWhich will make my castle there look METAL AS FUCK am I RIGHT!?!??! Come on. COME ON. I TAUGHT YOU HOW TO FISTBUMP COME ON.ā āā¦.youā¦.you are going to die, you know this right?ā āIām getting the feeling you donāt want to come to Lava Castle for some reason?ā
āListen, lad. Iāve built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was molten magma. All those aliens said I was daft to build a castle on a molten planet, but I built it all the same, just to show āem. It sank into the magma. So, I built a second one. That sank into the magma. So I built a third one. That spontaneously combusted, turned to ash, then sank into the magma. But the fourth one stayed up. Anā thatās what your gonna get, lad ā the strongest castle in this solar system.ā
āIām gonna need for you to explainĀ āhurricane partiesā to me again. Ā You humans have the technology to track these apocalyptic storms of wind and rain and predict where on the landmass theyāll hit up to a week in advance. Ā And youā¦have social gatherings during them?ā
āWell yeah, but only up to about Category 3 strength. Ā Then itās time to pack the car and head inland for most people, although a few hardy souls stick around and ride them out.ā
āOh good. Ā Category 3 is what again? Ā Winds up to 75 kilometers per hour?ā
āNo no, Category 3 starts at 175 kilometers per hour. Ā You left off the one.ā
Iām sure Iāve reblogged some version of this before, but I needed the STRONGEST CASTLE IN THIS SOLAR SYSTEM on my blog.
āThis planet is so cool!ā
āItās a planet completely made of ice.ā
āYeah! Letās send some scientists! Or I could be the youngest person there!ā
āYouād die, itās below freezing level!ā
āBut the blizzards are so pretty!ā
āThe storms of dEATH ARE NOT PRETTY!ā
And while the humans peculiarity for terraforming the most uninhabitable planets is widely known throughout the known universe, a growing number have become horrifyingly aware of human interactions with the local wildlife.
For when encountering some of the most dangerous, deadly, and destructive species, it became apparent to many alien species that humans have two default modes of operation:
1) to kill the creature with excessive violence
2) attempt to bond with the creature and tame it into what they call āa petā
And bizarrely enough, the order of those actions are switched and killing becomes SECONDARY!
For instance, the Grexillian emperor reports how he visited the human party they sent to terraform their coldest moon Nephtalia. And not only had they built bizarre ice structures that preserved their body heat, several members of the party had made pets of the Frost Fels! Yes, these bipedal lower life forms, with the bizarre clothing and basic space travel technology, were able in the matter of weeks to tame a pack of vicious frost fels that not only aided them in hunting for food below the ice but also would laze around in their laps.
Why the poor Grexillian emperorās three hearts nearly gave out when he saw one of the male humans cooing and rocking a baby Frost fel in his arms, rocking it back and forth and talking to it in the curious way humans talk to their young.
āWhoās daddies baby boy? You are! Yes you are! Daddyās gonna get you a nice big collar for your heads and heās gonna give you the best bears to eat when youāre older. Yes he is! Yes he is!ā
Okay but this:
Alien: āā¦ā¦. Weāve got like 50 uninhabitable planets we think you might enjoy.ā

how write book?
like that but more
oh noooooo
I work at a daycare with infants.
One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, sheāll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.
There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, āWhy are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?ā
My coworker replied, āThatās where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.ā
To which the substitute replied, āBut sheās so fat. She doesnāt need it.ā
Thin privilege is a small, pretty baby getting better childcare because the caretaker doesnāt think sheās too fat to be allowed to eat.
This reminds me of a cousin of mine who ended up with her kids being taken away from her by social services for a number of reasons but mostly for nearly killing her baby daughter. How?
By starving her. She insisted that her baby was ātoo fatā and had an aim to remove any and all āchubbynessā so her baby would be thin. Sheād already been warned by her doctor about the baby not getting enough food, but insisted she knew best.
After several months of this her baby passed out cold one day and was rushed into hospital where the doctors found her to have severe malnutrition, a low body temperature and low pulse rate. They asked my cousin what sheād been feeding her daughter and she said āone bottle of skimmed milk a day. I donāt want her growing up fat.ā
Even after nearly killing her daughter my cousin maintained her view that fat = bad and ended up with all her kids taken from her because she was starving them and neglecting them.
When your fatphobia leads you to starving your own children then youāve got serious problems.
(Note. She still, to this day, maintains the view that she was right and the doctors were wrong. āThey just want fat kids so they can keep employed treating them for all those diseases that being fat causes.ā = her actual words.)
My mom had me dieting with her when I was eleven. She had me eating less than 600 calories a day because she was worried I was going to āget huge.ā She even grounded me once because she found out my friends were bringing me lunches! I ended up passing out, going to the ER, and getting two IVs at once BC I was so goddamn dehydrated. Soooooo surprised they didnāt call child services⦠And looking back, this was the root of my anorexia. Iām nearly 22 and still fighting it. Please donāt starve your fucking children.
For fucks sake babies are SUPPOSED to be fat, what is wrong with people? Itās just stored energy, and growing children need stored energy - an 11 year old is just about to hit some major growing years. Damn.Ā
Fatphobia
Is
Real
and it kills
This is no joke. people will literally starve their own babies cause they donāt want them getting fat. A parent brought in their six month old baby who was having breathing issues and kept getting sick. the parent was asked if the baby was eating regularly and the parent straight up told the doctor that they only feed the baby once a day. ONCE A DAY. A FUCKING BABY. they even had the nerve to say because they didnāt want the baby to get fat. people like this are real. they would rather have a dead baby than a fat one.
My youngest son is a very big boy and has been since he was born. When he was 10 months old I took him for his well-baby check and vaccinations. The nurse noted his weight and said, quite casually, āHe is in the 99th percentile for weight so he is at risk for obesity. You may want to keep an eye on that.ā I said,Ā āHe is exclusively breastfed. He refuses to eat any solids yet.ā What did she expect me to do? What would it mean to ākeep an eye onā an exclusively breastfed babyās weight?Ā
She backed off saying,Ā āWell he looks fine!ā ā proving once again that weight bias is not truly about health ā But I know many other parents who are not as informed as I am about weight science and size diversity would react to this interaction by policing their childās food intake, if not as an infant, then when he was an older child. This is exactly the type of seemingly-inconsequential interaction that starts the ball rolling on a lifetime of dieting, disordered eating, negative body image, and weight-based abuse for too many fat people.
Years later when he was five, another doctor measured his weight and height and commented that he is off the charts on both, butĀ āat least he is in proportion.ā And if he was notĀ āin proportion,ā I am sure I would have been advised once again toĀ āwatch his weight.āĀ
I no longer allow healthcare providers to weight my children unless it is absolutely medically necessary. They are unable to control their weight talk, which is a known harm for children.
We need to completely eliminate weight talk from medicine, especially when it comes to children. Even the smallest exposure can have terrible consequences.
Wtfā¦
A friend from college had been going to the doctor because she was having trouble breathing. She was told to lose weight. Over the course of several years, she went back to the doctors time and time again, telling them that sheād been sticking to the diet but because of her breathing problems she had been unable to even walk for more than 20 minutes at a time. The doctor got her into an exercise programme and told her that she just needed to really try to lose weight because that was clearly the reason for her breathing problems. By the time they found the tumour on her lungs, it was inoperable. She only lived three months after diagnosis. She was 25. Sheād had the tumour for over five years. The doctor was so focused on the fact that my friend was āfatā, that they refused to look for any underlying cause. They killed her.
Weight-first treatment KILLS. Fatphobia KILLS.
I have 2 scary stories to share about fatphobic doctors & parents harming their childs/patientsā health:
1. The 4 years old daughter of a friend of mine came to our house to spend the weekend. She gave me a letter from her mom that said that the child was in a glutenfree diet because she was getting āawfully fatā when eating cookies or bread (my celiac ass; who gets dhiarrea and loses a scary amount of weight whenever I eat something with gluten was like ā???ā).
You can bet that I went to the supermarket with the kid and told her āgo & take whatever you feel like eatingā and the poor child came back smiling with her arms full of biscuits and cupcakes.
She didnāt got sick (as a celiac would get) and told me later that she hated the diet her mother made her follow; because her cousins didnāt had to pass through that.
And whatās the scariest thing about this story? Her mother was a NURSE. A fucking nurse who didnāt have a clue of the harm that she was doing to her daughterās body!
2. My little sister started to feel fatigued and dizzy at 9 years old. She felt nauseated at the sight of food and had abdominal pain that increased with physical activity.
Mom got her to the ER and the doctor dismissed it saying: āsheās fat and probably is feeling ill after eating too much burgers, get her to make some exercise and she will be better in no timeā.My mom didnāt felt ok with the diagnosis and took my sister with a second doctor who also told her that āthe child was just fatā.
My sisterās skin was starting to get yellow as the days passed and the abdominal pain was getting awful so my mom (heaven bless her!) got her to the ER for the third time:
SHE HAD STAGE 4 HEPATITIS AND WAS ABOUT TO DIE.
She survived after a long and painful recovery who involved being in bed for a whole year (remember that weāre speaking of a 9 years old child). Luckily they saved her liver and she didnāt went through a transplant⦠but let this sink:
If it werenāt for my mother, fatphobia would have killed her. Fatphobia kills kids and teenagers, fatphobia kills inocent people everyday. It treats human beings as lesser than others and hurts them in their most vulnerable times.
Itās a real shame that we all have so much stories to share about this issue. A REAL SHAME.
Future doctors, interns, and residents following me:
FUCKING TAKE NOTE OF THIS!
Donāt let bias against your fat patients kill them!
(#and this is just when we actually go to the doctor and tell them we have problems #how many of us just give up #or wonāt mention anything that seems like too much of a āfatā problem)
iād really like my thin followers to reblog this if you can. fat people are already here for each other, we need you guys to help us out too. this is something i never see anyone actually talking about in-depth, and itās disappointing. be there for your fat siblings, too.
