Bites

Characters: Vanitas; Noe Archiviste; Dominic De Sade; Jeanne; Louis De Sade; August Ruthven; Roland Fortis; Astolfo Granatum; Jean-Jacques Chastel; Chloed Apchier.

f!reader

пн! описание крови, укусов(?) Reader has a tendency to bite people, and she has very sharp teeth.

Luca without gifs due to limitation..

Vanitas

For a human, you bite pretty hard and that's a fact. He had already decided that Noe had attacked him, but he was seriously hurt when he turned around and saw you. He thinks your inclination is strange for a person, so he assumed that you grew up in a circle of vampires, and watching them took their habits. He will complain to everyone. They say there will be no neck left and who will save the vampires? Clearly, he will set conditions for your attempt on his soul. It already depends on personal principles.

Noe Archiviste

Do you hear? Someone is shouting. In Paris, they will definitely hear all his screams. Noe didn't notice you, that was what caused his screams, and then your bite wasn't so loud, but come on, it was more like a moan or a scream. You've known him since childhood, even when he lived with people, you used this tin to tease him, but later it turned into a habit. Naturally, as a child, he did not like this gesture, he told you about it, for a while you stopped, but again returned to it. Over time, when the Faceless Noe took him away and begged him to take you away, you began to bite others when you got used to them. When Dominic drank his blood for the first time, I realized that compared to you, this is a mosquito. And even more surprising is the fact that compared to a vampire, you don't drink blood, but you bite much more painfully than berserkers.

Dominic De Sade

I was terrified of you. For a while I thought you were trying to hurt Noe, and later Louis. You didn't try to bite her, she shies away from you like a cat from a vacuum cleaner, and then he may not catch up right away that he won't do anything to him. But you are not a vacuum cleaner, but a person whom Domi is afraid of. Over time, of course, she got used to spending more time with you, all the time that you didn't communicate, she was running around with guys. In the castle, when you were playing with dolls, you had a desire to bite her not much, because the guys said, "Even a vampire would envy such a grip," it didn't work out, maybe the guys would say that it really wasn't much compared to ordinary bites. Dominic got scared, dropped the doll and screamed. It scared you yourself, everyone who was was approaching. But later everyone was sitting drinking tea and you were offended by the conditions of your "bites".

Jeanne

I've seen you bite Noe, Dominic and Vanitas more than once. I thought it was strange. Of course, he won't ask directly, but it's much better to listen to a conversation on this topic. Right? But I didn't have to eavesdrop, because Luka asked you, in a sense to her relief. She is surprised by the fact that it is quite painful for a person to bite, and also that it eventually turned into a habit of degeneration of attachment. Oh, she tried to kill you after that, not so much for herself as for Lukius. There are many ways, but why this one? People are strange.

Luca Oriflamme

Subjected to your attempts. The whole Altrus is not happy. First of all, he suffered a panic due to pain shock. Yes, the boy has a much increased pain defect. Seriously, he will shy away from any person. You're lucky that Jeanne wasn't there at that moment, she wouldn't have come out alive from there. When his attempts to escape became more subtle, he came up and asked:

- Y/N why did you bite me? .. well.. that day.

- Er.. pf.. habit. As a child, I used to bite Noe to tease him. It became a habit, and later when I met Dominic and her brother, it already became a "symbol" of affection. I can't get rid of the habit, and I just love biting, I have no desire to get rid of it.

- It means.. I'm dear to you!!?

- Calm down, I didn't say that.

Louis De Sade

If you were vampires, the principle of "blood for blood" would work for you, but you don't drink it. Perhaps the two of you were making fun of Noe. He saw you bite him more than once, thought that people had strange habits. But one day he got under the distribution. You crept up on him, of course he noticed it, but he gave you the feeling of a "hunter" to amuse yourself. He really thought that you were just trying to scare him, but unexpectedly for him you bit his neck, he was scared and very much, first of all he thought that people also have their "cursed" ones. After that, when everything was clarified, he said: "Are you really human? I would understand if you're a vampire and you bite really hard.. but is this normal for a person?"

August Ruthven

I've seen or even heard about your inclination. Oh, believe me, he was angry when he found out that you bit Luka and it hurt him. I was at a loss when Luka ran and said: "A man was privizal to me." I thought it so affects vapiriv bites of people, maybe people also have something similar to poison? He'll definitely kill you if you try to bite him.

Roland Fortis

Epf.. if you are not familiar, then how should he punish you if you are a vampire. He is not familiar with the feeling of being bitten by a vampire, but why does he say that it is much more painful than vampires? Hmm, perhaps from the stories of other people and reliable sources? If this is our situation in this case - you know each other when you met in the catacombs, yes.. you made them take them with you, they say I'll be needed. And she really made me buy time for Noe and Vanitas.. you just bit Rolond... Is it worth saying that he screamed? Oh, yes, you bit through the skin because of this, he decided to fight with you, mistaking you for a vampire. Except Noe threw you far away. Honestly, Noe and Vanitas strained your bite at Rolonda's neck- they were worried about their carcasses. Well, as soon as he finds out that you are a person, he will be surprised and obviously ask questions and a lot.

Astolfo Granatum

Scared? That's not saying enough. Although 13 vampires drank his blood, but with such strength as you have not yet been. He's surprised by the fact that you're not a vampire, but you bite hard. It annoys him that he has relaxed his vigilance. He is not the one who flatters (oh, even very much LIKE) the fact that you bite only him, how much pain it brings. According to him, it would be better if he fought a vampire half-dead than to experience your bites again. But, purely in secret, how the hell does he flatter it, does he admit it? Of course not, maybe in death he will still say, but this is not for sure.

Jean-Jacques Chastel

I noticed your strangeness when I met Chloe. It really hurt him, it couldn't even compare to how Chloe bites in a rage. Of course, he was also a man once, but perhaps this oddity appeared with a new generation? How long have you been trying to attack him? Oh, for a long time and even very long, longer than with Chloe herself, of course she is perceptive and she herself understood what all this is about, but Jean-Jacques is Jean-Jacques. He is somewhat shy, so he was just embarrassed to be in your presence, especially after Chloe's explanation of your actions. He has a feeling of affection only for Chloe and you are not in this row, no matter how you turn it. But maybe in the future you will win over the Zhivodansky beast?

Chloed Apchier

Chloe saw you when she was very young and was promised again that this child would return her "humanity". Later you were taken away from Zhevodan to your family's estate. Chloe was left alone with Jean again, waiting for the day when you will be brought back. And at the age of four, you are taken to her to introduce you closer. You've played a lot of games, you even had to invent your own. There are a lot of bruises and bruises behind your shoulders. By the age of 14, you are taken back to Zhevodan to fulfill the promise of your great-grandfather. She's really surprised how you've grown. She really wanted to repeat the times when you played together, but damn you're here for one thing..

- Chloe, I will not fulfill the promise I made to you in the past.

- why?

- Do you think I, as a person, have the opportunity to rewrite the world of formulas? Is it neither the element of humans nor weak vampires? There's nothing I can do to help.

I'm even very surprised how. If so, what could have gone wrong in this situation? So it's that you just walked up and didn't find her, and at some unexpected moment bit her neck. For the first time in a long time, she experienced severe physical pain. How many lives, and there was no such thing. After a "little" heart-to-heart conversation, it was enough for her to understand that your unexpected attack is just a habit that you just can't get rid of. Over time, she began to catch your views and she is already preparing for another attack.

finding icons of this man is hell. anyways, tag dump time + meanings/translations under the cut! (decided to have fun and so none of the tag lines are in english. oops)

“amor fati” - translates to “love is fate”. a proposed alternate worldview to contrast “memento mori”; Nietzsche believed it to be more affirmative of live “dies tenebrosa sicut nox“ - translates to “ a day as dark as night “. “qui salvándos salvas gratis“ - translates to “ Who dost free salvation send us “. taken from the song city of the dead by eurielle which was, in turn, taken from the hymn “dies irae” “memento mori” - “remember that you will die” “obscurum per obscurius“ - an explanation is less clear than what it tries to explain “ab antiquo“ - from ancient times “dramatis personae“ - more literally translates to “the masks of the drama”, it refers to the cast of a dramatic work “mortui vivos docent“ - the dead teach the living. often used to justify the dissection of human cadavers to understand the cause of death. “ad astra“ - to the stars “fortiter in re, suaviter in modo“ - resolute in execution, gentle in manner “ira furor brevis est“ - wrath is but a brief madness “fiat iustitia et pereat mundus“ - let justice be done, though the world shall perish “flagellum dei“ - the scourge of God “per aspera ad astra” - through hardships to the stars “domine salvum fac regem” - O Lord, save the king “nemo malus felix“ - peace visits not the guilty mind aka. “no rest for the wicked” “aqua vitae“ - directly translates to “the water of life”, it is also used to refer to certain distilled beverages “hoc est bellum“ - this is war “dis manibus sacrum“ - “ Sacred to the ghost-gods “, it refers to the Manes (roman spirits of the dead). It has been inscribed on Pagan headstones.

“Два сердца это перебор“ - not latin but russian due to Urd’s ruling over russia; from the song “ Сердце получает нож “ by Pholo, it translates (roughly) to “two hearts is too much”. (The full line is also translated in the remix of the song by Ferry as “My darling, don’t you think us having two hearts is too intense?”)

Put On Your Raincoats | Joe Davian Triple Feature

I sought out The Night of Submission for two reasons. One, it represents an intersection of two genres I’m interested in, horror and pornography. As much as I’d like to say that these are two great flavours that taste great together, the fact is that most hybrids are unfortunately heavy on sexual assault, which this movie thankfully isn’t. The other reason is that this is an early production from Avon Films, a mob-affiliated porno theatre chain that got asses in seats by churning out the roughest, meanest pornos to play 42nd Street. My introduction to Avon Films was through the work of Phil Prince, whose Taming of Rebecca is one of the most vile movies I’ve ever seen but also kinda, sorta, pretty effective as a work of horror, and with a great maniacal performance by George Payne. It’s a movie that’s kinda, sorta, maybe worth seeing at some point if you have sufficient interest in the darker corners of cinema, but also comes with a great big “Watch at your own risk” disclaimer. But let’s just say that when you start with something that unpleasant, the rest is gravy, and I did find myself warming up to Prince’s less caustic efforts, if only by virtue of a consistent aesthetic.

The Night of Submission is directed not by Prince but by Joe Davian, an earlier house director for Avon who like Prince was not a trained filmmaker, and actually came from a background of athletic coaching. (You can learn more about both directors through some great deep dive articles on the Rialto Report’s website.) The plot of the movie concerns a secret voodoo BDSM cult who use their secret voodoo BDSM powers to host a bunch of secret voodoo BDSM orgies. I mentioned earlier that this is thankfully not chock full of sexual assault, and in fact the activities of the secret voodoo BDSM cult, while not vanilla, seem entirely consensual. The cult is secret but not particularly sinister. Of course, this attracts the attention of a magazine publisher played by Carter Stevens, who dispatches his seemingly only reporter C.J. Laing to investigate, who reacts incredulously as she excitedly snaps photos of the proceedings. "My God, they're beating her to blood! This will be the biggest...the boldest...the best story of my life, I don't believe it!"

Unfortunately, the camera roll turns out to be entirely blank thanks to the cult’s secret voodoo powers, leading Stevens to fire Laing and take over the investigation himself by going undercover. What really happened is that Laing left the production after shooting her one scene, and Davian brought in Stevens in an effort to patch up the movie, and the audience is significantly worse off as a result. Instead of Laing, who is easy on the eyes and happened to specialize in the kind of scenes featured in the finished product, we’re stuck looking at Stevens, who resembles a long lost bearded Belushi brother and executes his scenes without a great deal of energy. The climax of the movie involves the characters participating in an overlong, shapeless orgy, after which Stevens types up his account of the events while his girlfriend Annie Sprinkle beams with pride. But wait, could there be one last secret voodoo surprise? Forgive me for spoiling the movie, the answer is yes.

Davian is obviously an inexperienced filmmaker, and while he has some sense of how to deploy music effectively to raise the movie’s pulse, most of this is formless and unexciting. There are moments when it approaches a horror movie atmosphere (the film’s most intriguing visual involves a fire being lit in front of a woman tied to a cross; I’m not an expert on fire safety but the distance between them looked safe enough), the cult’s lack of malicious intentions and the fact that a lot of this was obviously shot in somebody’s apartment, meaning the scariest thing is the decor. Was it too much to ask to set this in a dungeon? And I’ll admit I find orgy scenes pretty boring to watch in general as I never know what I’m supposed to be focusing on, I do think the movie’s reliance on them undermines its effectiveness. While these scenes arguably give the audience more bang for their buck, they’re overlong, uninterestingly filmed, and lack any of the kind of context regarding power dynamics or even basic characterizations that might give some tension to the proceedings. Prince’s films might be a lot more noxious, but that noxiousness lends it a certain charge that’s missing here. But really the movie’s biggest crime is that it casts both Annie Sprinkle and Vanessa Del Rio and manages to squander them both.

Domination Blue ups the production values by featuring an actual set. The movie is a hardcore take on the women in prison genre, which actually makes for pretty good bedfellows with pornography given that it’s largely motivated by titillation and doesn’t demand expensive production values. I’d previously seen the enjoyably campy Desperate Women, which features the adorable Taija Rae as well as Sharon Mitchell doing a terrible Latino accent. This movie also features Mitchell, but its tone is a lot meaner, leaning into its roughie dimensions by making its sex either nonconsensual or as demeaning as possible, interspersing abuse in the prison with the troubled case histories of the inmates. Most of the proceedings are unpleasant by design, and I admit that one scene involving a character having to eat brown, viscous slop made me gag a little. The only moment of levity comes when the prison warden gets dominated by his female assistant, who expresses some insecurity when he shows a preference for his blowup doll. "You love her more than me. She's just a plastic thing, she has no feelings, she can't beat you, she can't do anything, just be there.”

Joe Davian’s direction here is more assured than in The Night of Submission, as the stark lighting and heavy use of shadows (likely to hide the limitations of the set; you can spot a radiator in a few scenes if you squint) gives the movie a nicely sinister atmosphere. That being said, it seems that there might have been only one microphone used in the production, as it’s pretty much impossible to hear most of the actors clearly in any scene involving more than two characters. As far as the cast goes, Vanessa Del Rio gets one great line ("You bastard, why don't you go sit on a dildo?"), and the presence of Mitchell means we get to see some actual acting here. That being said, there’s one scene where she shoots up in a dirty bathroom that I found upsetting even by the grimy standards of the material, especially given her real-life struggles with substance abuse. And I do think the movie miscalculates when it shows her reminiscing about her boyfriend, as it shoots what should be a tender scene in the same dark, sinister lighting scheme as the rest of the movie.

House of De Sade feels like a redo of The Night of Submission, but more assured in its execution. The plot here involves the characters being invited a seance where they end up summoning the Marquis de Sade, who is touted as being “one of the most notorious sex fiends and villains ever known to man”. Now the fact is, the characters seem pretty well versed in his teachings already, so one wonders what they hoped to gain by summoning him (perhaps some recognition for their execution of his theories), but the movie does manage to conjure some lo-fi atmosphere. The haunted house the seance is set in is clearly just somebody’s house, but anytime you turn down the lights and have the characters walking through creepy corridors, I’m having a good time, and the movie does more or less deliver on that front. (Unfortunately, the characters foolishly split up to explore the house, violating one of the most important rules explained by Randy in Scream.) The movie does betray its budget as a lot of it is obviously dubbed, and it would have been funnier if Joe Davian went full Doris Wishman and avoided showing the characters’ mouths during dialogue scenes.

This stars Vanessa Del Rio, who apparently was quite sympatico with Davian‘s vision, and you can see the results here, as her scenes are substantially more energetic than anything else in the movie. (The highlight, I suppose, involves the creative use of a cucumber. While food play is not at all my thing, I must thank the movie for at least not opting for a tossed salad joke, which I’m pretty sure would have made me throw up. If I’ve caused you to lose your lunch, my apologies. And if I’ve piqued your interest, hey, more power to you.) Like in The Night of Submission, Davian cuts multiple scenes of sexual activity together likely to give the audience better value, but the juxtaposition only emphasizes that Del Rio was operating on a whole other level than the rest of the performers, and that the movie would have been better off just sticking to her. And of course, there are some spooky highlights, including a hunchback in a mirror, a painting with moving eyes, nunchuks (alas, nobody demonstrates their nunchaku technique), and Del Rio getting ejaculated on by a possible ghost and then calming her nerves by indulging in a threesome. We’ve all been there.

Been reading the Sadeian woman after @normalbrothers mentioned it in relation to Diana Mitford, many thoughts but tumblr (and no computer on holidays) is. Poor format for those thoughts

That said, in a(n unrelated?) tangent, the books framing of the written pornographer’s role in reinforcing sexual dynamics/norms (and that this is why de Sade was at least worthy of analysis because he challenged sexual/gender/power dynamic norms) makes me wonder regarding the propensity (call it the dominance; the dominant minority) of readerfic these days (writ by women for women and using the 'self insert' motif to tackle first person POV) and how it’s recolonised fannish spaces back to a particular model of acceptable pornography through sheer flooding quantity .

“our Chr1s+ian (?) moral duty to reclaim queer pornography to reassert normative sexual dynamics between a man and a woman, or a man and a man, or a woman and a woman*” and clean up all that dirty sexual power gender role dynamic complexity etc etc etc there’s only a very limited range of acceptable incest to fetishise etc etc mumble mumble even gay readerfic back to hole and prod mumble mutter mumble

#old woman shouting at cloud #i do find this ironic because *in theory* t x l is het-normative. except. all you need to do is compare it to the fannish approach to-#-t x his first wife to recognise exactly what norms txl does indeed challenge. t and g also do but less overt; hence easier to flatten #and yeah it's definitely the fannish approach i mean here and not the canon because what i'm seeing these days is that fans aren't taking-#-subtext and making it text; or adding queerness where there was none;#its taking subtext and eliminating it; its taking queerness or complexity and flattening it to a v normative shape #*woman and a woman being the hardest to reframe because there's no prod and hole yanno?#does not readily allow the old in-out to play out when it's more about stretch and surface and grind #without artificiality coming into play anyway #i'd forgotten about de sade's cunt-cracking approach anyway #and now i have remembered!

layered these today. marshmallow pumpkin latte smells neither like a pumpkin nor a latte, potentially a marshmallow but even that’s questionable. it’s just a nice neutral creamy sweetness. i wanted to contrast that so i picked marquis de sade, a straight labdanum that smells like the crack house caked in years of chemical grime.. incensey, peppery, leathery. the eldo is definitely the dominant scent with the bbw acting more as a soft fluffy sweet filter. so still like a drug den, but one u feel the warm and cozies for 🥰

ooh i like domi too, and never see any reader stuff/fics for her! do you have any headcannons (nsfw or otherwise) that you've come up with or just think make sense for her?

Hi hi yes!! I have lots hehe

NSFW under the cut

Dominique de Sade NSFW headcanons

Defo has a bit of a mommy kink. Whether calling somone that or being called, either way hehe (mommy issues lol)

If she had a male partner, she would be very dominant. However, if she had a female partner, she would be submissive

But honestly, just wants you to be happy!

She would be against biting/marking in bed, doesn't want anything to happen that you may regret when you're not lust-driven

But she would be into spanking/punishments and wax play. She loves the pain and power it has/brings. It's something special to her. Only you can make her feel like that or vice versa

She is very good with her tongue/mouth. Will spend hours on her knees, overstimulating her partner and watching them squirm, desperate for her hehe

not a fan of using her fingers but will if her partner asks for it, She just doesn't see the appeal, she uses her hands for everything, it's not intimate

Willing to try everything, at least once. Doesn't really have any limits, just wants to be experimental hehe

She can cry very easily, she's vulnerable like that! So even if she is fucking you, she will most likely cry hehe

Aftercare with her is amazing! Where she may be unwilling to accept it, she loves giving it out! Loves cuddling her partner, washing them over and making sue they are hydrated too!

There is another specific problem I see with regard to sexuality. There is a common assumption that certain kinds of conceptual analysis or literary and film criticism provide descriptions or explanations about living individuals or populations, without establishing the relevance or applicability of such analyses to those individuals or groups. I have no objection to people performing dazzling analytic moves upon a body of assumptions or texts in order to say interesting things about those assumptions or texts. I have nothing against philosophy, literary analysis, or film criticism per se. But I have a problem with the indiscriminate use of such analyses to generate descriptions of living populations or explanations of their behaviors.

For example, there is a trend to analyze sexual variance by mixing a few privileged “theoretical” texts with literary or film criticism to produce statements about either the thing (e.g., “masochism”) or the population (e.g., “masochists”). The currently fashionable “theory” of sadomasochism is Deleuze’s long 1971 essay on “masochism.” Despite the fact that Deleuze based much of his analysis on fiction, primarily Sacher-Masoch’s novel Venus in Furs and some texts of de Sade, he is taken to be an authority on sadism and masochism in general. Since he is known as a theorist, his comments on sadism and masochism are surrounded with the penumbra of “Theory.”

Deleuze treats differences in the literary techniques of Sade and Sacher-Masoch as evidence for ostensible differences between “sadism” and “masochism.” But what are the “sadism” and “masochism” of which he speaks? Are they literary genres? Desires of living sadists and masochists? Floating formations of desire? He makes sweeping generalizations about “sadism” and “masochism,” such as, “Sadism negates the mother and inflates the father; masochism disavows the mother and abolishes the father. . . . There is an aestheticism in masochism, while sadism is hostile to the aesthetic attitude.” I find statements like these fairly meaningless, intelligible only because of a psychoanalytic tradition that has equated particular constellations of sexual desire with alleged universals of childhood development. What troubles me is that such generalizations are and will be taken as descriptive statements about those persons and populations who might be considered “masochistic” or “sadistic.”

Deleuze is very smart, and it also seems clear from his text that he had some acquaintance with practicing perverts. But his empirical knowledge enters primarily as anecdote. He seems familiar with female dominance, particularly by professional Mistresses. He seems to generalize from some literature and some kind of personal knowledge to make statements about “masochism” and “sadism” in a broader context. This essay is fascinating, yet hardly definitive. It is nonetheless becoming an authoritative text for writing about masochism and sadism.

There are now discussions which draw on Deleuze to analyze the “masochistic aesthetic,” “the masochistic text,” “masochism’s psychodynamics,” or “masochistic narrativity.” Such usage implies that masochism is an “it,” a unitary phenomenon whose singular psychodynamic, text, aesthetic, or narrativity are not only knowable but known. Leaving aside the issue of what terms like this mean, I see a danger that statements about what “masochism” in this sense “is” or “does” or “means” will be taken as descriptions or interpretations of what actual masochists are, do, or mean. Yet the authority of these statements is not derived from any systematic knowledge of masochism as it is practiced by masochists. It is derived from an analytic apparatus balanced precariously upon Deleuze’s commentary, Sade’s fiction and philosophical writings, Sacher-Masoch’s novels, psychoanalytic writings on the etiology of masochism, various other texts and films, and personal anecdote.

I have this quaint, social-science attitude that statements about living populations should be based on some knowledge of such populations, not on speculative analysis, literary texts, cinematic representations, or preconceived assumptions. And I can hear the objection to what I’m saying already: “But Deleuze,” someone is bound to say, “is Theory.”

In ABC, Deleuze says: „Listen, this respect for the ‚rights of man‘ – it really makes me want to make almost abhorrent statements. It belongs so much to the weak thinking of the empty intellectual period we were talking about earlier. It is purely abstract these ‚rights of man‘. What are they? They are purely abstract, completely empty.“ In their book „What is Philosophy?“, Deleuze/Guattari refer to human rights as „universals“ and „axioms“ that very hypocritically „claim to restore the society of friends or even of sages by forming a universal opinion as a ‚consensus‘ capable of moralizing nations, the state, and the market.“ In reality, however, human rights are only „empty abstractions belonging to the minds of imbeciles.“ Human rights, and especially their declarations, are, as Deleuze notes, „never made in dependence on the people who are directly concerned.“ Therefore, not only do they usually neglect the people they are supposed to protect and give voice to, but they are also complicit in the politics of domination by capital. Thus, human rights are compromised by generating „human misery“ according to the desires of global capitalism, without taking into account the needs of the so-called subject and its protection. Deleuze sums up: One might think one was in a Marquis de Sade story. Colonized and poor people go through the worst ordeals that man does to them, and when they get to safety, it is nature that interferes. For Deleuze, when one speaks of ‚the rights of man,‘ it is only an intellectual discourse for vile intellectuals. For intellectuals who have no ideas. Deleuze has also noticed that these declarations are never made by the people who are directly affected. If there were a successful representation of human rights, then unique cases would have to be treated in their particularity, and attempts would have to be made to find innovative solutions that reflect and express the particular problem they face. But exactly the opposite is the case. Human rights thinking is so deeply rooted in „eternal values“ and fixed norms that are far removed from real life that they completely overlook the particularities of each case. Thus, it happens that the needs of certain people in a very specific situation are compromised according to the norms of static values that come „from above,“ completely disconnected from the concrete needs of life. Ultimately, rights are reduced to empty generalities that form a consensus, which in turn transforms concrete and unique singularities into mere abstractions.

Oh yeah, this again.

💀🧼

I know I never had a chance, chance

Oh, I know I'm wretched and I stand, stand

Seeking all the things you have

If I die with you it's worth the life, life, life, life

I was just a nothing wanting something

Only you will only do

Everything and more, it comes to nothing

If it doesn't come with you

Please forget me not

I need your simple pleasures to be God

And please, my sweet De Sade

Just eat my heart and twist me into knots

Something dominating nothing

Nothing animated, something used

Fill me, wait a minute, kill me

Feel me, I am in a mood abuse

Carve, carve, carve

I am starve, starve, starved

For the warmth of your will

And the edge of your purest thrill

⛧// De Sade.

#again on the slipknot lyricism #the end so far has some good songs #ghostsoap #no for real it's ghostsoap coded #i have no defense #if you didn't know slipknot sorry for introducing #but if you liked it congrats?

"Sorry, I didn't hear you. I was just distracted by the smell of misogyny and the wish of beating the patriarchy."

Flaw(s): Somewhat spoiled(?), cunning, ambitious, manipulative, (secretly) easily annoyed

♝•°•══════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══════•°•♝

Personality

Generally charismatic and respectable, many find it surprising that Cosette is not only a prominent student in the academy but also one of the closest friends of Victoria Shard. Aka, Pomefiore's ice queen.

Cosette's the type to not comment on her friendships with everyone, given that she actually respects her privacy. And she silently hopes that everyone else can mind their fucking business and leave her alone.

But nope. And that kind of pisses her off. It's almost a miracle that she's still able to smile so proudly in front of the people who annoy her to the core.

Cosette is what one would call "easy to talk to", especially if you're incredibly close with her. Although she isn't the best with advice, she does her best to make sure everyone in her friend group feels included and consoled. Which led to her becoming incredibly popular.

As a child, her father regularly doted on her and spoiled her rotten. It came to the point where her mother had to stop him from spending everything on Cosette. But that isn't to say she didn't spoil her daughter as well.

Because she grew up doted on and spoiled rotten to the core, Cosette is unsurprisingly… A little spoiled. But she's mostly good at covering up that side of herself.

With her ambition and cunning, it was no surprise that she managed to befriend Victoria so easily. They're both brilliant, politically involved women who know what words they need to use to get what they want.

And that's exactly what made Cosette grow so attached to Victoria.

♝•°•══════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══════•°•♝

Unique magic: Blood string(血の糸)

A rather…. Unexpected unique magic, especially for someone such as Cosette

But that wasn't to say she hated it. She and Victoria agreed that it was…. Effective

To simplify the elaboration, Cosette can create a string of blood and control it however she pleased

What makes this ability a lot more unusual than it should be is that it's unclear if the string of blood of Cosette's blood or not, hell, even she doesn't know

Wrapping the string around someone allows her to drain the blood from their bodies, however, she's capable of giving them their blood back

But after using this ability she tends to get a little lightheaded and experiences a couple of cramps if she isn't too careful

♝•°•══════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══════•°•♝

Name meaning

Cosette: A name of French origin, meaning "little thing"

Von Luftschloss: "From Castle in the Air" in German.

De Sade: A French soldier and writer whose descriptions of sexual perversion gave rise to the term `sadism'

Trivia

Much like Kiara, Cosette refers to Victoria as "Vic"

Has known Victoria and Zen since she was 15

Her family and the Shards are on respectable speaking terms thanks to their contribution to their economic assistance

Shopping sprees are not uncommon when it comes to this girl

Loves doing Zen and Camilla's makeup, and even jokes that their faces were crafted by gods

Hairstyling is more of a thing she, Victoria, and Mercury do together

She mostly bonds with Kiara and Sarah by reading each other's favorite novels together

Kind of ships Malleus with Victoria but won't openly admit it

Challenged Zen on who could buy Victoria and Yuuta the most expensive gifts, and the competition is still continuing

Has no idea why her parents chose "Von Luftschloss" as part of her name

Commissions outfits from Victoria regularly, and even accompanies Freyah and Frisk whenever they commission their outfits from her as well which goes to show how close they actually are with Victoria

Also acknowledges how snatched Mercury's waist is alongside Sarah

Understands why Camilla's singing sucks ass, but thinks Aurelie is worse

Literally the main reason why a crown prince and his fiancé broke off their engagement, but her involvement in that is unclear

Thinks Zen's music is soothing when it isn't just him making a meme of himself

The beret she wears all the time was one Victoria made for her, but the design was one she made herself

Prefers to wear her beret over her dorm uniform's hat, which would make her get scolded by Sebek for 'violating dresscode'

Is absolutely done with Crowley's shit and feels pity for Yuuta because he has to put up with that man's shit the most

Doesn't really care about the NRC and RSA rivalry but plays along for shits and giggles

She met Yuuta when she accidentally encountered him during his gardening hours.... And it didn't end well-

She really doesn't care about the swordsman solstice, but if it makes Victoria happy, she'll gladly volunteer to sponsor the event(even though sponsorships aren't necessary for the event)

i had to call him sensei!- chp 7

Another week has passed since my conversation with Mr. Ruthven, and as usual, my new body, which I miraculously began to adapt to, continues to amaze me. I can now stand and walk a little, although the wound is serious and still hurts a little…

Mr. Lucius or Luca invited me to a tea party with Vanitas and Noe and those two girls from before after he came to visit me a few days ago, he said he wanted to return the favor I owed him but he didn't know how! To the inventor's shop! Can they also take me back to my world! I'm starting to miss my family a bit even though they're annoying!) Mr. Luca Tart offered us delicious apples and some tea. The tea party was in an elegant and beautiful café, and he also rented a private room for us to have our private time… We were soon exchanging conversations until suddenly the girl with the white hair and the short one cried:

Thank you for saving Mr. Luca during my absence! I have committed an unforgivable mistake, I do not forgive myself for endangering the life of Mr. Luka and not being there for him in the most difficult of circumstances (what is wrong with her all of a sudden!? Speaking of which, she was carrying that child in her arms when she was fighting those agitated ones that night and also when You caught up with those suspicious people, will you be his bodyguard?)

Then a child spoke:

no! Don't blame you! You are my knight, and you have done nothing wrong! It's just me causing trouble and I can't do anything!

Mr. Luca! I am your sword and shield! Don't say you are powerless! If you say that, it means that I am of no use to you!

How touching! What's wrong with them!? Is this a Disney play?

Um, sorry, it may sound weird, but can I know your name? (me)

sorry! I did not offer myself to the one who saved my master! I'm Jean! I am Mr. Luca's personal knight!

And I also have to introduce myself! I guess you still don't know my name! (That girl with the long black hair spoke) I'm Dominique de Sade, call me Domi.

I haven't yet to thank you for saving me, thank you!(lucius)

nice to meet you all! I'm Diantis Kariophilos, you can call me Diane, no need, it was just right.

Good! Good! Since we now know each other's names, I'd like to get to know each other better. Um, excuse me, Miss Diane, I never saw you at any of the previous gatherings of nobles!? (Luca)

I just don't like to come to big gatherings! ha ha!

Yes, and I also have never seen you before, and also why didn't you wear a fancy dress on the day of the party (Dominic)

Ah, it's just that I had a few things to do so I didn't have time to change my clothes on time (actually I was a little sloppy at the time because it's work clothes)

You was busy huh? (vanitas)

Oh so if! I'm glad we've now had the opportunity to get to know each other and strengthen our relationship. (Luca)

Oh we don't need that! Right, Jean? (Vanitas)

what do you mean? Even though we owe you and your strength, I still haven't forgiven you for what you did that night!! (Luca)

that night? Do you mean the kiss? I think there is no need for that? Jan and I kissed each other now and we're engaged. (Vanitas)

What are you talking about? (Luca)

Slander!!! (Jean)

Oh it was an intimate night! I couldn't stand your cruelty towards me then! It was a great feeling!(vanitas)

What have you done to my Jean!! (Luca)

We've become each other's possessions, and Jean has made her mark on me! (Vanitas)

What is he saying Jan!!! (Luca)

Liar! (Jan)

Oh, you deny those sweet moments! How painful! Don't you remember how we breathed so close and shared those feelings? (Vanitas)

What is wrong with this pervert! Why not be ashamed of what he says! Is he really their prisoner! I doubt it now! I think he's the one threatening them! How nasty!!! And suddenly Vanitas pulled his shirt to reveal a strange mark on his neck. What is this mark? Everyone sitting at a table marveled:

Didn't you recognize your mark, Jan! (Vanitas)

What is this, Jan! (Luca)

N-No, it's not what it seems! Impossible (Jean)

Oh, this is proof of our love, Jan, don't be ashamed (Vanitas)

Is this correct? Is this the kind of man you like? (Luca)

What? How did it come to this situation? (Jan)

By making your mark on it, you are publicly declaring it yours! (Luca)

But I don't mean to, and I don't want to! (Jan)

Ha ha ha! I joked a little too far! She didn't mean it of her own free will! (Vanitas)

So did you force it!? (Luca, in a low, angry tone)

You heard that sound that day, right? Damn Bearers Voice! Jan lost her mind for a moment and that's when she attacked me! (Vanitas)

Oh so if! This is comfortable! Jean can't leave her mark on someone as shameless, scoundrel and selfish as you! (Luka)

I think you really hate me, Mr. Luca! (Vanitas)

Jean got angry, so she grabbed Vanitas and carried him on her shoulders and jumped to the window, but before she went she said:

I'm sorry, I'm going to borrow this guy for a moment!

Then she jumped and left us shocked not knowing what that was and what happened? Noe also followed them

….

Night fell, so the lights sparkled in the back yard of the building, which was a cafe window overlooking it. It was a wonderful sight, and I did not imagine that I would see something like it in the world of vampires. I used to think that the world of vampires is a dark world that does not reach the sun and there is nothing but darkness and gloomy things, but it seems a lot like the human world.

And here he is, Vanitas and Jean! And also Dominique and Noe, and soon everyone was present. Mr. Luca invited me outside to enjoy the view closely, it was a beautiful view, and also the music suddenly started! It comes from inside the celebrations in the building, so the backyard turned into a dance floor, so Noe came to Jean to ask her to dance with him, so Domi preceded him to take her hand and start dancing with her. Noe remained standing, offering Vanitas to dance with him instead. Luca and I sat on the stairs watching the couple dance, Domi and Jan, Vanitas and Noe. Luca seemed lonely, so I wanted to console him:

I'm sorry, if I wasn't too strong to move, I'd dance with you if you wanted to?

No, never mind! If only I were taller!

when ? Do you want to be as tall as a jean?

no!!! It's just… maybe a bit yeah!

I hope one day Jan will consider your efforts in another way.

W-what do you mean!!?

The atmosphere was calm, full of joy and colour. I wish this calm would last. Will I be able to return to my original world or is this my world now! Is this the calm after or before the storm?

Gender and Sexlessness

The existence of men and women is deeply unethical. Testosterone and male genes shorten a man's lifespan while making him more aggressive, while women are forced to suffer all their lives for the ability to give birth and then in the throes of giving birth to similarly suffering lifelong beings. Natural reproduction is a source of oppression and suffering for women. Gender lays the foundation for the subjugation of the female corporeality through mutual sexuality dominated by the male, and sexuality in turn shapes gender and stratifies society. Evidence from other primates of male sexual coercion indicates that sexual conflicts of interest precede the manifestation of humanity. Prominent scientist R. Dawkins also used the expression "exploitation of women" in the context of animal sexual reproduction.

Any body with sex is essentially just a prison of flesh, controlling the mind imprisoned in it. For example, studies show that breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the world, and having more children naturally is associated with high oxidative stress, which leads to accelerated aging and postmenopausal health problems. The male body, on the other hand, is no more preferable because of testosterone (the male hormone). This hormone causes men to have aggressive outbursts and affects their thinking, determining it in one direction or another, making them age early and die earlier due to heart problems, provoking aggressive sexual behavior in them. The initial filling of the brain is determined at the moment of conception, when everything begins with the emergence of the chromosomal sex of the future human being. Therefore, it is impossible in a biological sense to become "male" or "female. The two sexes, two different organisms, are equally imperfect. With minds trapped forever in the cell of the body, occasionally encouraged by hormonal releases into the brain.

Sex (biological) is like a parasite, living with the host organism in deep symbiosis. Through its host it establishes itself in its bloodthirsty and voluptuous instinct, through which the parasite continues its existence in eternity. Any model of politically correct sexual behavior will be subverted by the demonic nature of this parasitic sex, seeking the infernal pleasures of blood and destruction. All this has been sufficiently substantiated by de Sade, Baudelaire, and Huysmans. There is a strong connection between sexuality and aggression. This is especially noticeable at the stage of the manifestation of sexual desire. The predominance of the parasitic will is the predominance of gross material ugliness over the human spirit.

Nature is only interested in species, not in individuals. Choices not made by us according to the scheme of our biological species are presented to us ready as our own. From nature's point of view, sexual relations in the nuclear family are generally no different from rape by outsiders, which seems to explain why most rape of children is committed within their own family circle. Therefore, even pornography does not create an image of women as objects of use, it only reflects and reinforces the already popular sexual fantasies of men and some women, affected from within by the parasite of the biological sex. It is also worth remembering studies that have found that when men look at erotic photos, they activate the parts of the brain that are usually activated when using objects, not those responsible for communicating with people. Again, this is dictated by the specifics of the functioning of this gender.

Social sex (gender) is the social expression of (hetero)sexuality as a consequence of belonging to the biological sex. The social expression of sexuality is received by undergoing gender socialization (initiation from a child into one of the two social genders) and manifests itself in clothing, relations between the sexes, children's treatment of adults, norms of behavior, etc., representing conditioned reflexes.

Anyone who is close to being sexless, who cannot accept their social sex or their gendered or sexual body, is discriminated against by sexually mature people of both social genders. Any "-gender" indicates a desire to remain and persist within a binary gender paradigm that is fundamentally unfair. To accept any label as a rebellion against gender binarity is to start counting from that very binarity, ignoring the biological foundation of gender as the basis for the existence of gender, and as the basis of all systemic injustice.

Scientists suggest that the brain inevitably uses stereotypes as energy-saving heuristics in the course of its work. If this is true, then we also cannot eliminate gender - because there will always be stereotypes that correspond to statistically repeated empirical data about biological males and females. Researchers at Harvard Medical School have discovered that our bodies produce sex hormones not only during puberty, but also shortly after birth. These hormones are simply necessary to tune the brain. Already by the eighth week of pregnancy, the testes of the male fetus secrete almost as much testosterone as they will in puberty or adulthood.

A study of sexual relationships in gewedoche is strong evidence that hormones mean a lot. Although they do not have enough DHT to form their external genitalia, the amount of testosterone they receive in utero and at puberty is quite high. Gvedoche are traditionally raised as girls (seemingly not even male gender socialization) and yet, without options, as they grow up, they choose male gender.

Analysis of more than two thousand brain images revealed gender-related differences. The pattern of differences matched the gene expression patterns of the sex chromosomes. This suggests that the development and maintenance of sex differences in the brain is directly influenced by gene activity. The ratio of sex hormones during the embryonic period determines the organization of the central nervous system according to one of the two sex designs of the organism. Even those studies that show that there are virtually no brain differences between the sexes ironically agree that there are traits that elicit more attention in one sex than in the other.

Our brains perform a complete "simulation" of other people's visible experiences, ignoring experiences not understandable to the gender design of your body specifically. A well-known object of fear for many men is female physiology, which is the most prominent example of an incomprehensible experience of another person's body design. The Alien film series is one of the most vivid demonstrations of such male fear, with xenomorphs jutting out of human bodies, ripping them to shreds, all juicy with blood, slime, and other repulsive details. In reverse, this is also true for women, who have a deep-seated fear of male physiology and of men in general. Our brains are simply unable to simulate something that is not in our bodies, which means they will perceive it as incomprehensible and frightening. What organisms can discern in the world around them depends on their design, that is, on the structural organization of their bodies, and on the operation of the functional cycles that link them with their environment. Angelomorphism proposes a unified design of the sexless angelomorphic (angelfish) body.

The body's design is never "the sum of its parts, but a new whole, a gestalt," which we perceive as ourselves. Our bodies not only have the design of our species, but specifically two designs of different sexes. Orthoesthesia--the perfect equality of perceptions under equal bodily circumstances--which would also mean equal treatment between people regardless of gender and age--is, as we see it, no longer possible.

The philosopher Peter Singer has argued that there is a biologically conditioned tendency toward egoism, gender stratification, and hierarchical membership of society, rooted in the very nature of human society and counteracting any attempt at social reform.

To resolve this problem, new genetic and neurological technologies must be deployed to modify aspects of our nature.

Shulamit Firestone, one of the authors of the seminal works of the feminist movement, described in her writings the need for a radical solution to the problems raised by moving reproduction to incubators that operate separately from women's bodies, in order to free women from the need to determine their role in society by biology, because female bodily autonomy is in principle incompatible with female reproductive biology. Her "first requirement for any alternative system" was "to free women from the tyranny of biology by any means available and to distribute the role of childbirth and parenting throughout society as a whole, among men as well as women." "The reproductive organization of society," she wrote in her writings, "is always the real basis on which we can work out an explanation of the whole superstructure of political, economic, and legal institutions. And as we understand it, since sex has no purpose other than reproduction, then with a complete change in the reproductive organization of society, the existence of sex will lose all meaning.

Technology is the way to lead humanity to angel-like sexlessness freedom and unity of consciousness. The entire reproductive system will be taken outside the body into incubators, artificial wombs. In artificial wombs, knowledge will allow humanity to be forever deprived of sex, and society to be cleansed of the evils of social sex. Without puberty people's bodies will be androgynous, perhaps resembling teenagers, because with embryogenesis without male genetic material people will be significantly smaller and feminine, with a longer life span.

Will there be a place for intimacy in a sexless world? If we work fundamentally in this direction, it is possible to make the human body more sensitive over its entire area, which will make intimacy of a different kind possible, and also the latest technology can make completely different forms of intimacy real.

The abolition of social sex is impossible without the abolition of biological sex. The goal of Angelomorphism is the abolition of social and biological sex. Gender and gender as its corollary impede a positive reorganization of our species' reproductive system, and thus a radical social change. The more steps humanity takes to eliminate gender differences, the more chance we have of flying off the evolutionary ladder on angelic wings. Our goal is to make people more like angels.

A Historical And Kinktastic Journey

BDSM is a complex and multifaceted practice that encompasses a wide range of activities, power dynamics, and psychological elements. Exploring the history of BDSM reveals a rich tapestry of human desires, power dynamics, and social attitudes toward sexuality and pleasure. Today we are going to take a high-level look into the evolution of BDSM, tracing its roots from ancient civilizations to the present.

The origins of BDSM can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where evidence of power exchange and sexual dominance emerges in the form of erotic artwork and literary works. In ancient Egypt, hieroglyphics and papyrus documents depict scenes of

bondage and flagellation, suggesting that elements of BDSM were present within their society. Similarly, ancient Greek and Roman cultures embraced various forms of sexual expression, including dominance and submission. Greek and Roman mythology, such as the story of Zeus and Ganymede, and the practice of sexual flagellation in Roman society, offer glimpses into the early manifestations of BDSM dynamics.

During the Middle Ages, BDSM practices were often intertwined with religious and judicial systems. The concept of flagellation as a form of penance and self-mortification played a significant role in Christianity. The flagellants, religious sects engaging in self-flagellation, sought spiritual purification through pain and submission. Furthermore, the Inquisition's use of torture and humiliation as a means of extracting confessions displayed elements of power exchange and sadism.

The Renaissance period witnessed a shift in attitudes towards sexuality, leading to the emergence of erotic literature and artworks celebrating BDSM themes. Artists like Rembrandt and Caravaggio depicted scenes of bondage and discipline, reflecting a growing interest in exploring the boundaries of pleasure and pain. Notably, the works of the Marquis de Sade in the late 18th century challenged societal norms by exploring explicit BDSM themes and paved the way for later discussions around consent, desire, and erotic power dynamics.

The Victorian era, known for its strict moral codes, paradoxically also saw an undercurrent of hidden sexual desires. BDSM practices found expression in clandestine gatherings and secret societies, particularly among the upper class. In an era characterized by prudishness and repression, the fascination with dominance and submission thrived in private circles, leading to the production of erotic literature such as "The Pearl" and "The Romance of Lust." These publications provided an outlet for exploring sexual fantasies and fetishes within a fictional framework.

The early 20th century witnessed the gradual emergence of BDSM communities and organizations, albeit underground due to societal taboos and legal restrictions. The growth of secret societies like the "Order of Chaeronea" and the "Vienna Circle" provided a platform for individuals to connect, share their experiences, and explore their sexual preferences openly. In the 1930s, prominent psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing published his influential work, "Psychopathia Sexualis," which discussed various sexual deviations, including masochism and sadism, further contributing to the understanding and acceptance of BDSM.

World War II brought significant changes to the landscape of BDSM. With the advent of the war, military and paramilitary organizations incorporated elements of BDSM within their training regimes. Practices such as military discipline, punishment, and role-playing were employed to foster obedience and enhance combat readiness. Additionally, BDSM played a role in providing psychological release and coping mechanisms for soldiers stationed far from home.

The period following World War II witnessed the beginnings of BDSM as an organized subculture. Inspired by the works of Marquis de Sade and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, pioneers such as John Willie and Irving Klaw started publishing fetish literature and imagery. These publications, often circulated through the underground market, provided a means of connection and exploration for individuals interested in BDSM.

The sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s brought increased societal acceptance of diverse sexual practices, including BDSM. The feminist movement also played a role in encouraging discussions around power dynamics, consent, and sexual liberation. As a result, BDSM communities began to form in major cities, providing safe spaces for individuals to explore their desires. Prominent organizations like the Society of Janus in San Francisco and TES (The Eulenspiegel Society) in New York City emerged as beacons of education, support, and socialization for those interested in BDSM.

The advent of the internet in the 1990s revolutionized the dissemination of information and facilitated the formation of online communities centered around BDSM. Online forums, websites, and chatrooms allowed people from different geographical locations to connect, share experiences, and exchange knowledge. These platforms fostered a sense of community and contributed to the spread of BDSM awareness.

In parallel, popular culture began to depict BDSM themes, albeit often sensationalized or stigmatized. Books like Anne Rice's "Exit to Eden" and films such as "Secretary" introduced BDSM to a wider audience. However, the portrayal of BDSM in mainstream media was often distorted, emphasizing the sensational aspects rather than the core principles of consent, negotiation, and trust.

The 21st century has witnessed a significant shift in the perception and acceptance of BDSM. As the internet continued to play a crucial role in connecting individuals, educational resources, and support networks proliferated. BDSM organizations, workshops, and conferences have become more accessible, promoting safe and consensual practices, and the importance of negotiation and communication.

Furthermore, BDSM has entered public discourse through the efforts of activists and advocates who work to dispel misconceptions, challenge stigma, and promote sexual freedom. Advocacy groups such as the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) and the Leather Archives and Museum actively engage in education, legal defense, and community building.

The history of BDSM is a testament to the resilience and growth of a subculture that emerged from the shadows and flourished into a recognized and respected community. From its humble, ancient beginnings to an underground subculture, BDSM has evolved, breaking taboos, and challenging societal norms. The sexual revolution, the advent of the internet, and increased visibility in popular culture have contributed to the growing acceptance and understanding of BDSM. Today, BDSM is characterized by education, advocacy, and a commitment to ethical practices that prioritize consent, communication, and mutual respect, ensuring the well-being and satisfaction of all involved.

What part of the history of the lifestyle fascinates you the most and why?

As with all of my thoughts, please see this disclaimer.
