sorry it's just that we built heaven together, and it was awful and fantastic and terrible and it turned out even better than we ever imagined it could, and building heaven with you made me realize that the idea of sitting in that room without you is precisely my definition of hell. yeah it's incurable.

I am re-reading The Left Hand of Darkness and unfortunately, my brain is too rotten for this, because all I can think about is an alternate timeline where the girlies got absolutely sauced on this book and instead of inventing the Omegaverse, people just wrote Kemmering AUs instead.

to be clear, Ursula K. LeGuin would hate this

if you're not into 70's feminist sci-fi, it goes like this:

on the planet Gethen, everyone is both biologically and socially androgynous for 21-22 days out of a 26 day cycle. on those other days, you go into kemmer. If you go into kemmer by yourself, nothing really happens except you go horny-nuts. however! if you're with someone else who is in kemmer, one of you will become male and one of your will become female, and you spend the rest of the time fucking respectfully, because this is an Ursula K. LeGuin book. There is no real rhyme or reason to which gender you become--it can vary from kemmer to kemmer. If you get pregnant, you stay female through the pregnancy and nursing; otherwise you go back to being gender-neutral for the rest of the month. You can get married (vow kemmer) and always do this with the same person, but there are canonically also fuck hotels where you go have orgies with whoever else is hot to go, if that's what you're into. lineage is traced down through babies that came out of your own body.

i cannot emphasize enough that all of this is written in the absolute least horny way possible.

i know this would never take off because (1) who is top and who is bottom is transient and (2) you can't use it to reinvent toxic heterosexuality for gay people

hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?

you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?

and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community

LOVE this because it's so "it didn't have to be this way but it was always going to be this way." irving bailiff would have Gotten It Done!! But Petey knows Irv as the most dedicated follower Lumon has, who speaks in handbook quotes all day.

which itself is only true because all of his fervor and drive and desire for purpose and meaning had to go somewhere, and Lumon and its history and the Eagans were the only outlet available to him, like that excellent post by @beetleandfox points out.

If Irving Bailiff hadn't been the perfect person for Petey to go to, Petey would never have had reason to doubt him.
