can u talk more abt his apparent affairs w teachers and relationship w sex in general? so many ppl gloss over that bit

of course! i'll link a couple posts for preface, although i'll probably paraphrase some stuff anyways.

[my commentary on sex and consent in saltburn.]

i received an ask regarding farleigh's queerness the other day, to which i tied in this little tidbit about farleigh's affirs with teachers. the explicitly male/male language that felix used when recounting farleigh's sexcapades with teachers was interesting to me. farleigh is pansexual (as stated in the screenplay), but felix uses male/male language exclusively. part of this could be the erasure of pansexual or bisexual reality. people either exclude the homosexual aspect of someone's identity, or the heterosexual aspect. but this could also mean that farleigh did only harbor affairs with male teachers.

that would be an interesting complex to think about. although women in positions of power are absolutely capable of abusing that power and asserting dominance over others, men have a different dynamic within that. the fact is, farleigh does things to gain the affections of other people, because he isn't automatically handed that affection. farleigh does play into teacher/student dynamics, whether it's overtly sexual or not. you can see this in the tutor scene and the brief montage moment where fareligh is sitting on the floor in front of the tutor, while they both ignore oliver. consider it an investment, of sorts. there's always a possibility that a white teacher will have academic bias against you, and the need to mitigate that is strangling sometimes. teachers are also just dicks. i find myself in "teacher's pet" positions for a number of reasons, a few of them are bias related.

where it gets complicated is the sex aspect specifically. if it is true that farleigh has been expelled from an absurd number of schools specifically for harboring teacher/student sexual affairs, then this is can really only be perceived as compulsive. also, can i just say, the fact that farleigh was expelled instead of the teacher being fired is disgusting. i kinda wanna call this evidence of discrimination, as well. queerness and perceived sexual deviancy, blackness and the constant inability to be seen as human and innocent. arghgh. i digress. the fact is, if farleigh truly was harboring sexual affairs with teachers for his own benefit and that alone, then he wouldn't have made the mistake so frequently. he would've recognized that the disadvantages outweighed the benefits and found other ways of playing teacher's pet. archie talked about the quickstart dynamic and said that although it was ambiguously consensual, farleigh is attracted to and aroused by power dynamics. many people are. where that compulsive need to buy into power dynamics comes from, i'm not sure. it could be a lot of things.

the neglectful nature of farleigh's upbringing could've resulted in a need for validation and attention from those who are in a position of authority. farleigh's queerness could've resulted in an internalized feeling of perversion that was then externalized through a desire to be taken advantage of. the nature of submission is also often linked to a need for control in other areas of life, and therefore relinquishing control in sexual dynamics. some marginalized people play into eroticization because it can be more validating than exclusion. many people learn to crave their own objectification, and it's often a manifestation of sexual trauma or other forms of trauma. if i get really convoluted and let my angst-fanfiction brain run wild, i start to imagine what environments farleigh was in throughout his childhood. as archie said, farleigh was involved in overly "mature" conversations and situations through his mother. what that could mean for farleigh's perception of sex, nobody knows. i can let my imagination go insane though. i can imagine a lot of weird scenarios. those are all conjecture, of course.

i'm just going to conclude that whatever sexual complexes farleigh has, they're not healthy. i don't think that they should be fetishized or ignored. i think that they're relevant to farleigh and oliver's on-screen dynamic, especially considering oliver was in a position of power over farleigh when they had sex.

Jenny's Signature

"Jenny! Ma petit songbird! I have a new scent I would like you to share with you today!" Corey Cologne said, sounding excited to share his latest perfume with his favorite customer.

"Oh? I wonder what lovely scent you have created today, Corey." Jenny Jamboree said with curiosity in her voice.

Corey held out his perfume bottle near her face. Not too close, but just enough for the scented mist to hit her button nose.

"Close your eyes and mouth as well. You're about to smell, oh, so swell!" Corey chimed as he spritzed Jenny.

The mist tickled her nose and face as she sniffed the air around her.

"Well, Jenny? What do you think?" Corey asked, anticipated to hear what his neighbor thinks about it.

The scent smelled very familiar to her. It was almost as if the scent that reminded her favorite things. The scent of the rainbow trees after an early morning rain shower, the scent of the wildflowers in full bloom on a sunny afternoon, and the smell of her favorite treat to eat. A hint of pomegranate.

"Oh, Corey! This is your absolute best scent yet! It makes me want to sing and dance about how much of a rocking jam it is!" Jenny said, followed by her singing a little ditty about the perfume.

"What do you call it?" Jenny said with wonder in her voice.

"I call it, "Jenny des Bois."That's is French for, "Jenny from the Woods." Corey said, followed by a wink from the charismatic gentle giant.

Jenny couldn't help but let out a small giggle at the perfume being named after her.

"Teehehehe! Oh, Corey... That Sounds like a Jam!"

Any hints about the plot of the next oneshot? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 SO EXCITED 🥳🥳🥳

omg yes!! overall, every mpreg Choso oneshot is going to be about Choso’s struggles and experiences during his pregnancy (bc I love hurt/comfort teehehehe) So the next one is going to be about some insecurities of him!!!

Thank you so much for asking!!!!!!! 🥰 and sorry if I made any mistakes writing this mi cerebro está en español rn

If you were a bsd character what would your ability be?

thank u for asking this this is so fun teehehehe (also this is not set in stone dont hold me to this forever)

instead of just trying to imagine up some random ability in my head i try to base it on books like it is in bsd. so one of my fav books is everyday by david levithan and its about a. spirit i guess? who wakes up in a new body every single day. so ive thought it would be cool to have an ability where im my own person still and im able to take control of other peoples bodies at will, but im only able to do it for a certain period of time. probably less than 24 hours like it is in the book bc that feels OP kjfdkjkdfkjf

🍒— teehehehe i see someone wants hard thoughts… u know im READY to fill ur inbox with it so bear with me spamming you this time (as if i dont fill it already 😭) 🙏🏻🙏🏻 have a good day sar i pray cheol posts a selfie 4 ur sake!

Your mpreg Choso was perfection 😭 Are you still going to write another chapter, because on ao3 it's listed as completed works?

omg thank you so much🥺 Yes! i’m currently writing another part. I want to make it like a series? Like, instead of a multi-chapter story that follows a line, I want it to be a series of one-shots (from the same story), so cooking up comfort is listed as completed because it’s a one-shot. The next one I’m writing will be about Choso being insecure (bc I love emotional hurt/comfort teeheheh)

Thank you for asking!! knowing that people like what I do motivates me SO much <3
