I love the panel in ch 76 in which the cut above the eyebrow is rotated sideways so it looks almost like a vulva. In medieval manuscripts they would depict the holy wound of Christ in that same rotated, disembodied way. Meditations would also describe feeding off the blood and body of Christ in an almost eroticized way. Not that I think this is an intentional reference, but very interesting that it’s so similar. St Thomas also pushed his fingers inside the wound in Christ’s torso after he was resurrected, which reminded me a lot of the scene in which Garam peers inside the cut. How cool!!
Yo why are 99.9% of bls/gls from the perspective of the bottom? Some of us are tops and want to read about tops Not hating on bottoms but if I read one more bait top-turned-bottom story I’m gonna lose my mind. Please drop a rec (bl or gl) if you have one

Ever since the reading list purge I can’t find this one supernatural BL, iirc two childhood friends reunite and one of them is an exorcist? And there’s a whole thing in which they’re trying to exorcise a bunch of ghosts by allowing it to possess one of them and fulfilling its wishes. I’d really appreciate it if someone gave me the name

well the Romans weren’t particularly intolerant of homosexuality before Christianity, and it doesn’t look like this story is set AD. It was in fact “anti-Roman” only if the Roman citizen was the bottom in the relationship, and so nobody would bat an eye at this, because the Greek ‘barbarian’ (as they would call him) is the bottom, therefore okay. In any case there was no punishment for homosexuality decreed by the senate. Just in case anyone was wondering
If its like ancient egypt it's basically homosexuality is alrighty okie dokie but bottoming is, hilariously, social ruin
