like. objectively. living in that time period would SUCK but victorian stuff is so, so, sexy. i want to be sent off to boarding school because i’m too rowdy in an attempt to make me stop embarrassing my family only to enter into a tempestuous love affair with my roommate before drowning in the grounds lake.
why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead
this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job
an important thing about the metamorphosis is that gregor is still fully conscious, mentally very human, and capable of speech at the beginning of the story. it is only after he is treated exclusively as an insect, as something to hide, as a tragedy that destroyed gregor samsa rather than being the same, living, person, and accepts all of this, that he loses the last vestiges of his personhood.
could he have continued to live if he was allowed the privilege of being seen as human despite his superficial appearance and utility to capital? should he have been treated with respect despite his permament disfigurement and inability to work? the answer is yes. but rarely are the real people who undergo such a debilitating change, the human beings who are locked away and starved and dehumanized by the family and society who are supposed to care for them, shown such decency. franz kafka certainly was not.
