odditycollector: Reading this book that has suddenly turned into one of those romance novels where the brave ship captain has rescued a slave who is exceedingly grateful and hangs around temptingly.
vagabondsal: Buh?
Karen: I was feeling like I needed some time travel story in my life today!
Karen: The dinosaur comics guy's poster was in my head.
Jeff: So you went for patriarchy in the age of sail?
Karen: Well, in this case the brave ship's captain is a black woman, which is not patriarchy so much, but I do not think it overcomes my annoyance at the trope.
Jeff: Oh ho!
Karen: The Native Americans do exist though!
Jeff: This is a plus! Not disappearing whole nations of people is generally a good thing.
Karen: It is an interesting book! Just every so often the captain is like, woe! I cannot has love! And this young slave girl I have rescued is so becoming! But I cannot hit that because I am too noble or something!
Jeff: *snort*
Karen: I will teach her sword fighting instead!
Karen: I am not sure sword fighting has the same overtones if it is gay *women* however.
Jeff: ...point.
Karen: Need to give them some of those guns from portal.
Karen: OR HEY. I think it just clicked in my head why WW's people duel with lassos.
Jeff: ...because Diana's creator was into kinky bondage stuff?
Karen: Well, sure, but *also* it is, like, tots metaphorical for May The Best Vagina Win.
Karen: ...disappointingly less deadly than swords, though.
Jeff: Is this like Wanda's magic vagina of doom?
Karen: Sure! And nuclear rockets are flying penises!
Jeff: \o/
Karen: They deliver a massive payload, Jeffs.
Karen: And the VoD will shake your world.
