has to be said the numbers-filed-off fanfiction book is boring asffff BUT it does have wildly entertaining moments. including paraphrased tumblr posts, anti israelism? moments where the ocs look at each other soulfully and say Well. I Guess This Is It Then as if they mean anything to you, badsex, 2 different pregnancy plotlines, a flying dog horse, and a character earnestly trying to bash their skull in on a window

protagonist sincerely asks the sexyboy love interest if he is a homunculus

i can forgive a book being boring i can forgive a book literally repeating sentences constantly i can forgive a 40 chapter long flashback but i CANNOT forgive the sexyboy homonculus killing his bitch wife for no reason other than to be with the protagonist. 1/5 stars and i deserve reparations from the author

one of rgu's best takes about rape and incest is that rape and incest are not deviant. they are exceedingly normal. they are, in fact, the logical extension of patriarchal romance and the patriarchal family -- the same logic that underpins those structures facilitates abuse, rape, incest, and csa. many people, even those who nominally understand the idea of rape culture, conceive of rape as a deviation from cultural mores, and even more people view incest as an aberration, a twisting of the Family (which is Good) into something unnatural and evil. but rgu correctly identifies that rape and incest are outgrowths of patriarchal society, not alien intrusions upon it. incest is merely a symptom of the problem which is the patriarchal family itself. rape and domestic abuse are merely symptoms of the problem which is patriarchal & heteronormative romance and society itself. rather than rape being deviant, it is resistance to patriarchy which is deviant; rather than incest being abnormal, it is a girl holding out a hand to another girl in pain which is abnormal. because 'abnormal' does not mean 'bad' any more than 'normal' means 'good'. "fall in love normally, get married normally, have a normal family, and have a normal life -- but normal has nothing to do with us!"

“I am your daddum, Lo. Look, I’ve a learned book here about young girls. Look, darling, what it says. I quote: the normal girl —normal, mark you— the normal girl is usually extremely anxious to please her father. She feels in him the forerunner of the desired elusive male (‘elusive’ is good, by Polonius!). The wise mother (and your poor mother would have been wise, had she lived) will encourage a companionship between father and daughter, realizing —excuse the corny style— that the girl forms her ideals of romance and of men from her association with her father.”

This moment from Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov reminded me of this post. How H.H insists that their relationship is “normal”, that normal girls feel an attraction to a father/father figure. But even though he is using this concept to manipulate Dolores into silence, those books exist, those ideas are understood to be what “normal girls” should feel or think. He is using those patriarchal concepts to manipulate her and justify his abuse. And just like in RGU, the romantic ideal is also bound to the family aka the patriarchal heteronormative structure, normality : in Utena is the prince the brother, here Humbert uses the father figure. like op says “[rape and incest] are exceedingly normal. they are, in fact, the logical extension of patriarchal romance and the patriarchal family -- the same logic that underpins those structures facilitates abuse, rape, incest, and csa.”

Nabokov is also able to identify this in his novel, and what is, I think (though i have not finished it yet) one of the main themes in the story.
