Hello there @fallofrainblog​! I stupidly set myself up for this ask, didn’t I? xD

I suppose I misspoke when I said “chapter.” Really it’s just a passage, not the entire chapter, but I was afraid if I went back and edited the tag Tubmlr would realize it let that naughty uncensored cherry slip by and slap that ugly orange flag on me. Anyway lol

The other scene I didn’t like was in [SPOILERS AHEAD] Chapter 49 of The Fiery Cross where Jamie goes to Claire’s in the night while they’re at River Run. He’d previously asked for Claire’s rings to use as stake in some gambling game, which lead to them arguing. In this scene he returns them to her. Basically he takes her up against a wall outside in a barn while drunk, which is all fine. There’s no dubious consent here. But the part that really turns me off this scene is when Jamie forces Claire’s head down so she has to look at him taking her. 

t’s funny that both this scene and the one from the first book have to do with Claire’s ring(s), but I think I what I most don’t like is the fact that Jamie feels Claire owes him something when she frustrates him and he takes it out physically on her. But I suppose that’s my unpopular opinion: JAMMF can be a “man” without being physically overpowering. I saw so many comments in this past season that said otherwise -- especially in regard to the Longhouse scene in 4x11 -- and that kind of thinking seems an awful lot like toxic masculinity to me. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with rough sex or possessiveness. But this always had the wrong hint of “do as I say or I’ll hurt you” to me. 

I’ll take the show’s adaption of The Reckoning over that any day 🙌🔥
