Imagine…you’re a student in the Greek class and Julian asks Henry to tutor you. He’s a strict teacher 😉

this idea honestly has me torn, as i strive after academic achievement above all at all times and my pride would therefore never let me get a tutor... however, something's telling me that henry would pose the sole exception ;)

yes, he would agree to tutor you — anything to feel intellectually superior over an academic match, i'd say — but he would be so condescending about it. i'm talking that should be obvious, although maybe not to you level of condescending. snark remarks every time you propose the wrong form or come up with a false translation. he would be degrading in the slightest of ways, sometimes so nonchalant it wouldn't be entirely noticeable, but it would nevertheless accumulate to an overall ruthless picture. he would have you seated at his desk, pacing and circling you like a vulture at first so as to intimidate you and put you on the spot, and then simply ensconce himself in the nearest armchair and read whilst you translate a passage.

upon your being done, he'd rise, slowly trudge over, and lean over your shoulder so as to read. out of the corner of your eye, you'd watch him, observe each minuscule shift in facial expression — how his lips would twitch into a slight grin, alerting you that you've messed up already.

"no. absolutely not."

reluctantly, he'd correct you — explain to you to the best of his ability. not without a painfully patronizing, snobby air, of course, which would leave you feeling even more useless than you did before you started. and yet, learning from him would be quite alluring in the most antithetical of ways.

the tutoring wouldn't transpire without its benefits, of course. whenever you'd be done with your studies — and he would always make sure you've done everything and sometimes a little extra — he'd offer you a drink, and then, sometime into the night, you'd end up perched in his lap in the armchair. here, the outcome completely depends on the combination of his disposition and your academic effort: you'd either end up getting spanked for each embarrassingly wrong answer you gave; riding his thigh but being stopped by his strong grip mere moments before your orgasm would come to fruition; or with your spine being pressed flush against his chest, legs spread widely, and his fingers toying with your clit until you'd writhe and whine and beg of him to let you come. he not always would — only if you'd been sort of good enough for his standards. during it, he would make sure to lowly and silently whisper chants of degradation in your ear: how badly you perform and how much better he keeps expecting you to be, and yet you keep disappointing him, which gets you in these barren situations.

on the most special of occasions — only if you had been flawless — he would place you on the desk and drop to his knees before you to reward you for the accomplished work; actually fucking you would be even more seldom. the perfection that would take on your part, however, would be quite hard to achieve: due to your being more than distracted in his presence, you wouldn't always be able to rise to the transcendental standard he'd have set up for you. your mind would be muddled to say the absolute least, wherefore you'd be more likely to mess up — which means you'd get teased to hell and back, degraded, and on dire occasions not even treated to an orgasm instead of being pleased to your liking. however, you'd keep consulting his services nevertheless.

only for the tutoring, of course. even if you wouldn't need it that much. who knows — maybe pretending to know less than you do would get you places you wouldn't have dreamed of otherwise.

#henry winter imagine #henry winter x reader #henry winter thirst #indulgent thoughts #henry winter smut #astrum asks #he would be such a fcking asshole about it #i would fully pretend not to know shit #you just know he'd be one of those people who'd get agitated quickly #gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh #degradation station #i need him to laugh at me for how stupid he thinks i am #i would be pretending but oh well #it's for the greater good

So, I’m thinking about Rorschach’s sexuality re: him being touched starved and having an unfulfilled sex drive. His libido is pretty directly addressed in these two panels:

Issue #5, page 18.

It’s Rorschach talking about freeing himself of lust (with fear and weakness right before it, of course) in front of a poster of a provocatively posed woman. Moore and Gibbons aren’t exactly being subtle here. To further emphasise the connection, Veidt describes the ad as follows:

Page 33 of Issue #10.

He also mentions that the ads for Nostalgia products feature 'slightly androgynous' models and presumes that's to 'afford us a window into the gay marketplace', which could be relevant to Rorschach bearing an interest in men, but I don't lean too heavily into that since this ad is for ladies perfume and specifically targets women, and it feels a little weak of a connection next to things like Rorschach clinging onto Daniel and the cops calling Rorschach a homophobic slur and assuming Rorschach is wearing Daniel’s aftershave instead of cologne. Obviously they aren’t aware of the connection to Daniel, and don’t specify Nostalgia Aftershave, but we’re aware of where he got the bottle from, the brand, and that they’re mistaking it for a perfume that is specified as being more prominently marketed toward gay men (Issue #5, page 28, and the police report mentions it’s cologne in Issue #6, page 29).

Anyway, I digress!

There’s also the scene where he stares at a naked woman/couple through a window, though it’s not immediately obvious what Moore and Gibbons are trying to convey about Rorschach there without their commentary. The commentary in question shows up in the Watchmen: Annotated Edition, where they indicate he's made despondent by 'warm, loving’ scenes that ‘he could never experience’, and it’s not coincidental that the scene that prompts this thought process is a naked couple embracing.

Watchmen: The Annotated Edition, page 34.

It’s a direct reference to the trauma his mother inflicted on him and how it incapacitates his ability to seek intimacy. We can see the extent of his trauma and repression in scenes like these:

First panel: Issue #5, page 11. Second and third panels: Issue #6, page 10.

However, he doesn’t seem cognisant of his loneliness and desire for intimacy beyond thinking lust is a nuisance in both himself and others that detracts from more important things. Hence, ‘nobody cares. Nobody cares but me’, because everyone else gives into their vices while he actively fights against them (’frees himself of lust’).

Issue #10, page 11.

The handshakes with Daniel are the only kind of intimacy he does get, and he openly clings onto this one. He’s not consciously seeking it here; it’s an effort to apologise, to be a good friend, but the moment he’s given just a slither of the intimacy he’s denied himself for so long, from someone he’s actually willing to receive it from, he has to be forcefully extracted from it. So forcefully that Daniel clearly struggles.

Gibbons describes the scene this way:

Watchmen Secrets Revealed, watchmencomicmovie.com.

And I think that fits well with Rorschach being so lonely and touch starved that he lapses terribly on how long a handshake is supposed to be, and is also so fixated on the handshake that he completely misses clear signs that Daniel is uncomfortable. You would have to be really, really into something not to notice someone actively struggling to remove themselves. I’ll also note that the primary purpose of the scene being as an embarrassing moment doesn’t mean it can’t also be a comment on Rorschach’s sexuality.

It’s sad to think about how deprived Rorschach spent his entire life because of his mother’s abuse. The contact he had with Daniel was the closest he ever got to fulfilling his physical needs.

So the thing about being a sort-of composer is that I need a music program to write my sheet music on, right? But the problem with NoteFlight (my current program) is that after a few bars it gets really laggy. If anyone knows of any (free! i don't have the money to spend on fancy platforms) less laggy alternatives to NoteFlight, that would be GREATLY appreciated.
