u kno this site is full of nerds because even people’s sexual fantasies are like ok i’m a 19th century surgeon and you’re my patient. i start to repair your hernia but that’s not the only thing i get my tools on…(since this is before the popularization of handwashing as a surgical practice, you contract an infection and die)

If we share this we can find others with this affliction I’m sure

I love how Murderbot is canonically sex-repulsed and romance-repulsed and no one in the series tries to convince it that it shouldn’t be. No one tries to “fix” it. Murderbot doesn’t even like romance or sex in media and no one tries to make it! They recognize that this is just how Murderbot is and that’s fine!

How rare of a storyline to see. It’s so refreshing and I love it.

“Oh, he’s chewing it, it’ll be smaller.”

“He can’t possibly-”

“shit, I guess he can.”

Every time I'm forced by circumstance to hand-sew something, I remember a fairytale I once read. There are lead-up shenanigans as the humble protagonist helps small animals and meets the princess and all that, but in the climax, the princess rigs a contest for her hand by setting her own task: sew her a dress in a single night.

The noble suitors, who have never sewn a thing in their lives, sabotage themselves by their own ambitions: they choose difficult fabrics to work with and cut huge, elaborate patterns and select gems and pearls and beads to sew onto it, and snip such long bits of thread that they lose time detangling their stitches, and ultimately resort to pinning bits together as they run out of time, so that their offerings initially look beautiful and flashy, but when the princess tries them on they stick her with pin ends and fall apart as she moves.

The humble protagonist uses a very simple pattern without embellishments and sews using short lengths of thread (snipped off and threaded for him by little birds of course) which don't tangle and therefore save time. His dress is plain by contrast, but holds together and the princess is able to move freely in it, and so he wins the contest and her hand.

I particularly think about the bit about threading the needle with shorter lengths of thread, needing to tie off more often but avoiding tangles and thereby saving time.

I then ignore that piece of wisdom passed down through who knows how many years and proceed to cut the longest damn length of thread I can manage because I hate tying off beginning or ending knots and I will not subject myself to more of that even if it does mean more tangles along the way.
