Look, the trees are turning their own bodies into pillars

of light, are giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon and fulfillment,

the long tapers of cattails are bursting and floating away over the blue shoulders

of the ponds, and every pond, no matter what its name is, is

nameless now. Every year everything I have ever learned

in my lifetime leads back to this: the fires and the black river of loss whose other side

is salvation, whose meaning none of us will ever know. To live in this world

you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it

against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

— In Blackwater Woods by Mary Oliver

Oliver is the changeling boy

This movie has been On My Mind!! So, in the script Oliver is said to be dressed up as the changeling child for his birthday party. In Midsummer nights dream the changeling child has a minor role. The queen of the fae has stolen an Indian prince and is lavishing him with adoration which is pissing off her husband.

I read this as an in-world dig from the cattons making light of what Felix is doing for Oliver and indirectly expressing how they feel. This may be his party, yes. He may be Felix's favorite boy, yes. But he's a nusicnce and the affections of their royal doesn't make him one of them. He is an outsider.

BUT. In the context of the movie at large Oliver IS the changeling boy in more ways than one. He's not the human among the fae , the way the cattons think. He's not the lad that gets taken back, to the fantastic fairy world. He's the weird human-like thing that gets left behind. He's the freak! the one who's " trying to pass as a real boy", the one who studies the way others act to mimic , the one with uncanny insight and intelligence , the one who is always clocked as different no matter where he is - Oxford or saltburn. He is the changeling boy , and the cattons are the unsuspecting humans about to get drained dry.

#saltburn #the key is he sort of succeeds. he fools them into thinking hes a boring normal boy long enough to drain them dry #in the wiki for changelings it mentions that often the ravenous appetite of a changeling was a hint that it wasnt human #so oliver !!!! intense hunger !!!#and the worry of these families was that the child would drain them of resources with its hunger #AUGHH #oliver quick #rotating him so fast in my mind #all of this because i went down a wiki rabbit hole looking at merlin!!#love the duality of oliver beinf half human and half monster feels so right

today, I went to a class that I usually eat lunch before. you'll never guess what I didn't do 🤭 don't worry it was all for fun just to see if I could get it to growl during class. And I very much did. It was quiet for most of the almost 2 hour class, but in the last 15 it started being audible. I don't know if the person next to me could hear, but I was wearing a crop top and not really trying to do anything to muffle the noise most of the time, so there's a good chance they heard the louder growls. And I couldn't stop thinking about what I was gonna get afterwards to eat 😓 but I finally got out of there and trekked to my workplace to get a sub, then trekked back, then ate the whole thing in 15 minutes. Now I'm nice and full,, and I got a couple of huge burps out of it! I'd call this day a win 👍

#hunger kink #stomach growling #full belly #burping #tbh i didnt eat lunch at the right time because i was a bit down and didnt have an appetite #but by the time that had passed i was very in the mood for food again

Hunger makes me

To desire effort from a man, we are taught, is to transgress in several ways. (This is true even if you’ve never had or wanted a romantic relationship with a man.) First, it means acknowledging that there are things you want beyond what he’s already provided — a blow to his self-concept. This is called “expecting him to read your mind,” and we’re often scolded for it; better, we learn, to pretend that whatever he’s willing to give us is what we were after anyway.

Second, and greater, it means acknowledging that there are things you want. For a woman who has learned to make herself physically and emotionally small, to live literally and figuratively on scraps, admitting that you have an appetite is a source of cavernous fear. Women are often on a diet of the body, but we are always on a diet of the heart.

The low-maintenance woman, the ideal woman, has no appetite. This is not to say that she refuses food, sex, romance, emotional effort; to refuse is petulant, which is ironically more demanding. The woman without appetite politely finishes what’s on her plate, and declines seconds. She is satisfied and satisfiable.

The secret to satiation, to satisfaction, was not to meet or even acknowledge your needs, but to curtail them. We learn the same lesson about our emotional hunger: Want less, and you will always have enough.

A man’s appetite can be hearty, but a woman with an appetite is always voracious: her hunger always overreaches, because it is not supposed to exist. If she wants food, she is a glutton. If she wants sex, she is a slut. If she wants emotional care-taking, she is a high-maintenance bitch or, worse, an “attention whore”: an amalgam of sex-hunger and care-hunger, greedy not only to be fucked and paid but, most unforgivably of all, to be noticed. […]

The attention whore is every low-maintenance woman’s dark mirror: the void of hunger we fear is hiding beneath our calculated restraint. It doesn’t take much to be considered an attention whore; any manifestation of that deeply natural need to be noticed and attended to is enough. You don’t have to be secretly needy to worry. You just have to be secretly human. […]

When I said “I don’t like romance,” it was the equivalent of a dieter insisting she just doesn’t want dessert. I did want it—I just thought I wasn’t allowed.

People frequently claim that eating disorders, like anything common to adolescent girls, are just “a cry for attention.” As someone who was once an adolescent girl, I suspect they are at least partially the opposite: a cry against hunger and need, an attempt to kick away that profoundly human desire to be paid mind. To shut the door on the void.

Fearing hunger, fearing the loss of control that tips hunger into voraciousness, means fearing asking for anything: nourishment, attention, kindness, consideration, respect. Love, of course, and the manifestations of love. It means being so unwilling to seem “high-maintenance” that we pretend we do not need to be maintained. And eventually, it means losing the ability to recognize what it takes to maintain a self, a heart, a life. […]

Women talk ourselves into needing less, because we’re not supposed to want more—or because we know we won’t get more, and we don’t want to feel unsatisfied. We reduce our needs for food, for space, for respect, for help, for love and affection, for being noticed, according to what we think we’re allowed to have. Sometimes we tell ourselves that we can live without it, even that we don’t want it. But it’s not that we don’t want more. It’s that we don’t want to be seen asking for it. And when it comes to romance, women always, always need to ask.

There’s a YouTube video I’m fond of that shows a baby named Madison being given cake for the first time. The maniacal shine in her eyes when she first tastes chocolate icing is transcendent, a combination of “where has this been all my life” and “how dare you keep this from me?” Jaw still dropped in shock, she slowly tips the cake up towards her face and plunges in mouth-first. Periodically, as she comes up for air, she shoots the camera a look that is almost anguished. Can you believe this exists? her face says. Why can’t I get it all in my mouth at once?

This video makes me laugh uproariously, but it’s that throat-full-of-needles laugh that, on a more hormonal day, might be a sob. The raw, unashamed carnality of this baby going to town on a cake is like a glimpse into a better, hungrier world. This may be one of the last times Madison is allowed to express that kind of appetite, that kind of greed. She’s still young enough for it to be cute.

This is Madison’s first birthday. By the time she’s 10, there’s an 80 percent chance she’ll have been on a diet. By high school, she’s likely to have shied away from expressing public opinions; she’ll speak up less in class, bite back objections and frustrations, shrug more, stay silent, look at the ground. She’ll worry about seeming “good”—which means not too pushy, not too demanding, not too loud. (Only bitches want better. Only sluts want more.) Boys will treat her shoddily, and she will find ways to shrink herself into the cracks they leave for her. She will learn to assert less, to demand less, to desire less. She won’t grab for anything with both hands; she won’t tip anything towards her face and plunge in. And that transcendent anguish, that stark gluttony … well, at least we’ll have it caught on video.

What would it take to feel safe being voracious? What would it take to realize that your desires are not monstrous, but human?

Imagine being Madison, grown up but undimmed. Imagine being the woman who is unabashed about needing food to survive and pleasure to be fulfilled and care to be happy. Imagine prying open the Pandora’s box where you hide your voraciousness, and letting it consume indiscriminately, and realizing that the world is not destroyed. Imagine saddling up the seven-headed beast of your hunger and riding it to Babylon.

what if i said to you: Charybdis but in space?

#having thoughts about mythology of gods and entities that existed when we didn't conceive of outer space the way we do know #and charybdis and scylla have always been a favourite of mine #and like #couldn't they be a black hole and idk some other space phenomena #i know nothing about outer space #but i can't be the only one who has thought of this right #like there's definitely a black hole named after charybdis right?#space people tell me the things #greek mythology #space #also charybdis makes me think of the one florence + the machine song hunger #but that may just be very surface level word association bc i've not actually investigated the notion #been thinking about the concept of hunger so much for how it translates to yearning/ambition/greed/desperation/curiosity/wanting #I love a character and a plot line which is just a bottomless pit seeking life/knowledge/connection/recognition #esp if it balances on the edge of fierce love and or destructive #like #mmm #delicious #it feels human to be hungry for the whole world #but our appetites become monstrous in the eyes of puritanical beliefs #or whatever #so many thoughts y'all i can't be stopped #ramblings

I long to see you every inch

Between fingers I would pinch

Let me unravel that fabric

Soft skin is a treasure too rich

Feast upon you with a hungry eye

Taste every inch I would love to try

Spread upon my silken bed

An appetite soon to be fed

Beg for more and we shall see

Inside you is where I long to be

#poem #poetry #poet #poems #prose poem #poetic #love poems #hunger #appetite #my desire #passion #touch #tenderness #tender #feast #spread

For all of the stuff he's been through you gotta understand it i guess

#tried to lead a rebellion and then was on constant edge when caught (and probably still is to a lesser extent)#the brain tires the body out quick as hell #mental exertion also could increase appetite #so more hunger = eating more = full stomach = tired #perfect recipe for eepy guy #hi steel!

okay so random thought about adhd meds

there are some negative side effects to my meds, and some just...side effects that aren't either good or bad. For me personally the negative side effects are manageable enough that it's worth it to take them.

But one side effect that I have never had trouble with is eating. The most common side effect i hear about in general and from other friends with adhd is struggling with trying to eat around their meds. I have several friends who started taking meds when they were much younger and stopped as college students because managing their symptoms on their own was better than not eating

...when I take my meds, I can tell whether or not I'm hungry. I can hold a standard eating schedule on my own, I crave healthy food (as opposed to obsessively eating gummy bears because I need something and trail mix sounds like something straight from hell)

and so I'm curious if there's a correlation between how old you were when you started taking adhd meds and what impact it had on your ability to eat with them. Because in my personal experience, the people who have trouble eating with their meds are people who have been taking medication for most of their life

or maybe it's just me?? IDK

#adhd #adhd medication #just adhd things #also I haven't been able to get my meds in ages because of shortages and *cries* I miss them they make it so much easier to function dang i #anyway random thoughts of Crow #people talk about losing their appetite when their meds kick in and I'm just like ???#I started consistently taking meds for the first time and my *stomach* actually growled when I was hungry #instead of just feeling nauseous and having to figure out if it was hunger or anxiety or a migraine
