I had hope for the newest Ennead chapters, I thought things could be redeemed but no it just got WORSE

The way S2 CH106 ended it seemed like for once the sex scene was actually gonna be consensual which, for Ennead, would be a wonderful treat. But, while there was some consent, the majority of the two chapters was Set protesting and being uncomfortable. I think I have a decent understanding of what is and isn't consent in kinky scenarios and girl that shit was not consent like Set tried to negotiate terms and Horus put in minimal effort before just kinda ignoring Set. I know it's fictional, I know none of this is actual real life people but it is seen by real life people, especially teenagers who shouldn't be using this as a basis for what healthy consent is like if anyone impressionable reads that it'll either lead to them getting hurt or them hurting other people

I know has passed more of a year of this post but YESSS!!!! FINALLY I FIND SOMEONE WHO SEES IT TO!!!

Seth was highly uncomfortable having sex with Horus, and he tried to say him cause he try to enjoy the moment with Horus, but that bich ignored him and instead rape him (again, cause ill be never forgetting season 1)

And it is sad cause till now he has never enjoyed healthy sex with anyone excepting Nephthys

I am so sorry it's taken you so long to locate the side of the Ennead fandom that actually holds the characters accountable, but welcome my friend Set was never enjoying any of that shit, it was all forced like find ONE panel where Set looks like he's genuinely enjoying himself during any of the explicit scenes

Set just needs a break man, just let him be alone without anyone trying to get in his pants PLEASE

I stopped reading Ennead for a while and recently picked it up again, and (fortunately) i could find some people who do not evangelize Horus, he is NOT a saint (even with that you are like the first person i find talking about this chapters and how Seth didn't enjoy it 😭)

I find really sad Seth's experience in sex, personally til now i think he is demisexual, so he won't feel full pleasure with everyone When he was with Nephthys he wanted and love her, and she wanted and love him too, in Isis dream HE was who started the contact after carry Nephthys, he hug her, both wanted it

In his second time with Horus he started it too, cause he actually loves him, is kinda obvious he fall in love time ago (and i don't mind as long Seth is happy), and he doesn't have experience being with a man, at least not enjoying it, but even with that he try, cause sex gives pleasure and makes a relationship more intimate, in his talks with Horus everything feel more closer cause is relation was too, and he try to go slow cause he knows he would fell pleasure too as long he could get used to it, but Horus couldn't go more slow cause is fucking dick was going to explote if he didn't rape Seth (again)

Honestly i just want to see Seth living an happy and peaceful life, idc if he is alone, with Horus, Nephthys, Anubis, Ra or whoever

Thinking about how people assuming Seth isn't into men is also a big reason why Osiris is an idiot, and Ra called Osiris out on that line of thinking in S2E78. In fact, she calls him, "Arrogant, foolish Osiris" (among other things) for this. Like that just happened in canon and I guess folks slept through that episode because people keep insisting he only loves Nephthys/is straight/can't like men.

Like people say "Seth isn't gay" and I think that's fair (in the sense that gay = solely attracted to men), but I don't think he's heterosexual, either. He doesn't evince interest in women generally. Osiris assumes Seth does because Osiris doesn't understand love. To him, Seth must be into goddesses solely because they can have babies.

Osiris does not comprehend that it isn't Nephthys' gender that attracts Seth to her: it is herself as a person. Osiris has no regard for that. He does not fathom Seth as a complex person with agency. To Osiris, "to love someone is to expect something from them." (S1E49). He catalogues people into capabilities: if I could provide the same things for Seth, Seth would love me. This disregards any relationship Seth might have with Osiris, Nephthys, or anyone else. He stole Seth's seed for who knows how many years. He removes Seth's agency in many ways.

This is a really common romance trope with the obsessive non-partner: "I'm better looking, I can provide more/the same, why do you love [love interest] and not me?"

Because the person they're pursuing has agency and love is complicated. This thinking ignores that. It treats people as goals to be reached or objects to be won.

Osiris sees no issue with this, despite his alleged wisdom, because "love" as he understands it, is "a selfish emotion that feeds on personal gain." (S1E49). Osiris is being selfish, and he'll do whatever he has to, destroy whoever and whatever he needs to, in order to achieve the object of his desire that is Seth. As Ra says, Osiris is "a rotting fruit" who "rot[s] those around" him. (S2E78).

So far as we can tell, Seth isn't in love with women generally. The only other woman to whom he potentially showed any sexual advances was maybe Isis? (Seth to Isis, "I had asked you to sleep with me." S1E39). But we don't actually know how he framed that offer/request when he tried to get her to join him in revenge, let alone if he actually wanted to sleep with her or just wanted to get revenge on Nephthys and/or Osiris, or if he just convinced himself that's what he was asking Isis to do and that's part of why Isis rejected him. We do know he's in love with Nephthys (S1E49). Or was in the past. Lately, he cares for Horus. I would argue he's demi-bisexual or demi-pansexual, but also isn't a person who's into labels. Not everyone is. Queerness is a spectrum.

Yes, he calls relations between male humans disgusting in a spur of the moment thought in S2E36, and that's sort of it. Seth generally thinks ill of humans, and he's not given to think kindly of Horus at the time, either. That's also not definitive. He changes (S2E70). He also would not be the first person in existence to internalize bigotry that would possibly target himself. Plenty of marginalized people are/act bigoted against their own people/themselves. At the time, Seth was also ill and trapped in a stronghold of people who hate him, safe on the kindness of humans. There are so many reasons that he might respond weirdly or not in a way that reflects his entire state of mind about his own wants. No one was asking him, "Are you gay?" or even "Would you date and/or fuck a guy if you had a chance?" Horus was carrying on a facade to fool Hanekate in a complex situation that Seth hated for many reasons, and Seth was understandably shocked.

I don't think he likes men generally. I think his body reacts to things (Osiris, Foreign God), as bodies tend to, which doesn't necessarily mean anything about his sexuality, at least in regard to his bodily reactions to characters he has no feelings for. But his being into Nephthys also kind of says nothing about his wants. He wants Nephthys. The person. Not a gender. His lack of being into a specific gender generally does not mean he solely likes women or cannot be into men or must be forced into it or something. He loves people on an individual level.

When he rejects Osiris, it's not because Osiris is male, but because Seth cares platonically for Osiris solely as a brother and monarch.

Osiris to Seth in S1E41: "What am I... ...to you? Am I just the king that rules over the land that you protect? Am I just your brother born from the same womb? What about besides that? Have you ever even thought of me as something more?"

Seth: "Why do you need to be more than that?"

Ra to Osiris in S2E78, "You think that Seth turns away from you because you are also a male god? And you think Seth desires female gods because of their power of creation? . . . If that is the conclusion you have come to, then it is proof that you are already breaking down."

It's all right there. It didn't need to be that overt because you can see it in the rest of the story, too, but the overtness is now there. Clear as day. Osiris' line of thinking about Seth's affections is wrong. And to imitate that is foolish.

It's Seth's deep love for individuals that allows him to open his heart to Horus (S2E70). Osiris and even Nephthys do not see Seth for who he is. Horus does. He refuses to forget. And that's why Seth cares for him, because it's Seth's deepest wish (S1E40-1).

In sum, assuming Seth loves Nephthys because she's a woman and this is the end-all statement about his sexuality/interests will get Ra to laugh at you just like she laughed at Osiris for assuming basically the same thing.

(Also assuming all protagonists and/or love interests in boys love stories have to be gay to have relationships with other men is really weird. Plenty of boys love, m/m, and mlm protagonists are bisexual, pansexual, undeclared, or questioning)

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

[kineticpenguin]

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

[yourunderwaterskies]

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place.
