Alphonse Mucha- Sappho

femmes will be like “i’m straight passing” and then look like this at the grocery store

a translator's note i read a long time ago on a sappho poem said that the word they had translated as "boy" and which others had translated as "girl" was technically a gender neutral word meaning "fair youth"

sweet mother i cannot weave for slender aphrodite has overcome me with longing for a twink

femmes plsssss also initiate sex. i would love to experience a femme that asks me for sexy photos, sends me messages telling me she wants me, and puts effort into turning me on. us butches also want to feel wanted and it’s really discouraging to feel like we’re expected to always be in the mood. tease me, send me voice notes of you moaning, run your nails up my bicep when we’re in public, whisper dirty things in my ear. i’ll take control from there ;)

studied on video call with the butch i’m dating and they stood up at one point and they were just wearing boxer briefs and i’ve been thinking about it for the past week and a half

i’m so easy it’s unbelievable and should really be taken advantage of 🥺

Seen 5 posts today about how good it is to be called “my love” but where are my “darling” truthers?

“I’ll see you after work, Darling” “Darling, have you seen my keys?” “I love you, my darling”

Literally do not call me darling unless you’re trying to marry me, I’m not kidding bc I will fall so deeply in love it’ll actually destroy me 🫠
