my erotic fanfiction is more historically accurate than yours. here it claims that shes moaning 'yes,' however classical latin didn't have a word that corresponds to Modern English 'yes,' i.e. an affirmative answer to an interrogative. You could have easily avoided this glaring implausibility by allowing her to moan plus, 'more'—as exemplified in my critically acclaimed fic with an unprecedented number of kudos (eleven). I recommend that you log out of AO3 and return only after acquiring satisfactory knowledge of the subject matter.

classical latin did in fact have an affirmative answer to an interrogative (sic), it's just not a cognate with modern english "yes" which is Germanic. but you probably recognize its modern descendants, spanish sí, italian sí, etc.

anyway how this is relevant to this post is that when Dido commits suicide in book 4 of the Aeneid she says "sic, sic! iuvat ire sub umbras" or "yes, yes! with joy i pass beneath the shadows" while stabbing herself, the allegory of penetration accompanied by shouts of ecstasy leading unto death being an interpretative exercise best left to the reader.

Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

I love love love saying "I scavenged a working microwave in the boylands" but nobody ever knows the reference and it breaks my heart

[markodragic]

like, the first time I ever saw this I laughed so hard I started choking on spit but it's just not the kind of thing you can share with the average person in your life. this world is so cruel

I'm alivee and with another medieval cat family tree. It would work pretty well as a regular family tree as well I suppose, if you removed Longtail and his fancy hat. 

Longtail and Sandstorm are siblings and he and Firestar are married; it's common for siblings to act as surrogate parents in the kingdoms, but Sandstorm acts as a third/equal parent to Leaf and Squirrel, which is considered unconventional. I still don't know who the three's dad is btw, probably just Crowfeather at this point.

I thought it might be cool if instead of tattoos the kingdoms used branding to mark themselves, so Leafpool has a brand to mark her as an ordained bishop/cleric. Would this be safe or possible, surely not but the au has dragons so what do I care.

a giant, glass shattering noise comes from the sky that is unmistakably the smash bros announcer saying “KING DEDEDE”. it makes headlines worldwide and people are scared. scientists find that the source of the noise was a dead star 2.7 billion light years away

cope + seethe is such a beautifully succinct and acidic haterism

while you were jorking it to so-called "large breasts", i jorked it to the concept of an ablative case
