#yes fucking please
One of my favorite fantasies is casual teasing. Watching a movie with my hand down your panties, completely ignoring you as you become a wet whimpering mess. I’d pretend not to hear you panting or feel you squirming against me. What a wreck, getting hot an bothered while I sit composed and unaffected. And then just as randomly as I started, I’d leave you bereft and wanting.
yeah seriously tell us how wizardry’s done in the new world tell me how the wizards from france and spain and britain stamped out the brujos and the medicine men and set up their own schools tell me what the fuck the british raj did to fucking india because the patel twins are going to school in scotland and what are they told about their history, tell me about native american kids learning to say wingardium leviosa with hate in their hearts and tell me about wizarding rabbis bickering about whether you can use potions on the sabbath tell me about the slaves on their ships with their wands broken, mouthing curses in the dark tell me about the runaways that made it with garter snakes wrapped around their wrists that told them when they tasted dogs in the distance, tell me about the underground railroad and abolitionists with unbreakable vows and home-spun invisibility cloaks and disilusionments, using obliviate, using imperio, knowing that they served a higher justice, tell me about what happened to black wizards in the fifties, about what gates they were storming in the sixties tell me about queer wizards taking love potions every morning in their coffee to stay married to their husbands and their wives because what else could they do?
the world only begins and ends with straight white christians if you don’t bother looking any farther than that and too many people don’t and i am tired, tired, tired
Oh.
More alien aliens headcanon, no. 549:
Gorn are taste telepaths. Similarly to the elves from the Divinity series or space marines from 40k, they can get psychic impressions of thoughts, memories or skills by consuming the DNA of animals or humanoids. This is why they prefer meat from animals that lived well and died quickly. Ritual cannibalism is the standard way of showing respect to a deceased loved one, a fallen enemy or an executed convict (if considered rehabilitated). A part of the person will live on in society, their contributions are acknowledged and honoured. A person who does not get eaten is denied an afterlife, doomed to be forgotten, and forever separated from society. This is reserved as the highest form of punishment or a last resort.
When first fighting Humans, prejudices about the Gorn - cold-blooded killers, cruel savages, worse than animals - psychically affected the soldiers eating fallen enemies as a post-battle ritual. Even worse, Humans are one of the only species that cause neurodegenerative disorders in Gorn when consumed. This means that Gorn units that fight Humans will eventually turn into the bloodthirsty, sadistic killers and cannibals their enemies saw them as. When infected Gorn are given standard funeral rites they pass the double threat of psychic insanity and prion disease on to their mourners.
Once the effects of exposure to Humans became clear and study of the causes became impossible, the Gorn drew their conclusions: Humans cannot contribute to society, cannot enter the afterlife, have no souls. They are to be killed on sight, communication with them is forbidden. Any Gorn that has been near a Human needs to be executed and the body burned - a great yet necessary evil.
