Sir, Butler and Boy ~ Reading between the lines ~ Page 7
Warnings for the angst train we’re about to hop on as well as use of the C word, which I know isn’t to everyone’s tastes.
Now the title of the story becomes more clear- this chapter is about figuring out why James would want to rile Jefferson up so much and how each of them is caught in the ‘No, whatever you want’ loop.
It’s time for a scene to go badly…
Oh sweetie…
That moment when you know the problems of unhealthy kink, even when done with good consent practices…
As a grayace in a semi-switch relationship, the ‘No, whatever you want’ loop is STRONG, HOLY HECK. Thankfully, we’re aware of our tendencies and talk openly about it. Poor babies though :c
What do you want to do? I dunno, what do you want to do? I dunno what do you…
The trouble with the no-whatever-you-want-loop is….Someone has to drive the car! You can’t both take your hands off the steering wheel and say “no, YOU drive!” Designate a driver! Somebody make a decision! (Incidentally this principle holds for non-kinky situations as well ^^; )
Wait? Boy has been trans this whole time? I mean, that’s cool representation and all, but it’s Victorian England, how exactly is “””””a woman””””” owning property like such and living alone. Not to mention that top surgery hadn’t even been conceived of back then.
There were some Victorians who could potentially have been trans men (although it’s also possible they identified as women but decided that disguising themselves as men gave them a better life and many more opportunities – without a direct statement from the person in question describing how they identified, it’s impossible to tell).
Just because the Butler calls it a cunt doesn’t mean James is trans :P
It could just be a derogatory/naughty way of saying it or even a lack of a better word
Also I said back in the beginning that you can basically imagine whatever you wanted when it came to the junk of all three of these men. While this is attempting at historical accuracy it is still an erotic fantasy, and that means whatever YOU fancy.
*firmly believes in trans jamie now*
*james fuck. i mean jamie from chaos komix is pretty alright but not trans so
