#completely biased

Hi okay so do you think snape has a preference for body hair on a partner/on himself??? I could see it going many ways for his partners, but theres a scene in the first movie where his pants are ripped (🤤👅) and u can see the tiniest sprinkling of body hair on his legs so there's the possibliity he doesn't shave there buttttt...... other places???👀 who knows....

Now LISTEN, I'm very serious about body hair. I love body hair, I find it sexy as hell, on men and women. Armpit hair? Magnificent. The Happy Trail? Sublime. The Bush? Let me die with my nose buried in it please.

So I'm a tad biased.

More seriously, I don't think Snape is super concerned with his own body hair - he barely looks at himself anyway and nobody else does. I don't think he's super hairy but I do headcanon him as having some on his arms, under his armpits, on his legs (finer on his thighs), a good pinch on his chest, a happy trail and a nice bush of dark curls. I like the idea of him unconsciously struggling a bit with his masculinity so he wouldn't get rid of anything.

As for his partner, well, again, I may be pushing my own agenda here but... I think Snape like it natural.

First of all, even if he learned to look posh, deep inside he's not. He's from the slums and he will love burying his nose in it and smell his partner's scent - first of all because he'll be super appreciative of someone wanting him enough to offer him access to their body - second because he finds it sexy. The hair... it's adulthood. It's sensual. It's animalistic, raw, honest.

He's okay with the idea of having to look prim and proper on the outside but shaving is like trying to keep up appearances in bed too and he doesn't care about it. For him intimacy is about being real - even if he struggles with it himself (tho if his partner wants to shave he won't say anything, it's their body and he won't ever be controlling about it).

But I like the idea of a partner being a bit shy about their body hair as they undress the first time and him tilting his head while looking at them, searching for his words, clearing his throat before saying very slowly:

'No, no, I like it. You look.. untamed.'

Winter does not suit this body.  Movements once languid and slow tighten and crack in the cold, which seeps under doors and around windowpanes.  A torso once stretched, an inattentive hand stroking the neck, moving to the calves and tracing up the thigh, now lies tight and curled, forehead to nose, closed.

No sun shines through the black fabric of a slip, the space between the thighs remains unilluminated, all reverence denied.   

Motions of indulgence now turn to efficiency, escape.  Coats quickly shrugged on rather than shirts lazily unbuttoned.  It is the season of urgency; a swat to the buttocks rather than three slow fingers trailing down the nape of the neck.

I miss the sun on my shoulders and back.  I hate how everything is sped up, done quickly without indulgence or presence.  My mood turns academic and cerebral, a sense of unease as discomfiting as the wind whistling past my ears.

I miss my body.  I miss myself.  I miss the slow things, the intentional things.  In winter you cannot surrender only to the sensation of another’s hips against yours, not moving, yet delicious; in summer you can appreciate touch alone as an act of reverence.  In winter we are forced to clutch and grasp like the dying.

Winter makes us beg.  Summer allows us worship.

unbiased opinion

just saw a video on YT that said it's a BAD review of #TFiOS. i instantly wanted to banish that person from being because they obviously have no heart and no soul. #biaswhatbias?

This is just absurd. I just can't believe this woman is serious. Not to mention the fox correspondent was definitely not being non-biased, you could tell who's side she was on.

Everything Sandy Rios said was pretty bad, but it bothered me that the Fox person opened with "The average co-pay cost for bc is $14, that means that 50% of that is lower, sometimes even $5" (I think I got the quote right) What about that other 50%? Most of my female friends pay well over $10, one even has to pay from $50 to $80 each month, because the Nuva Ring is a new type of birth control.
