accidentally giving spoopy hookah bar vibes?

A long room with three dark ceiling beams and  two sconces.  Yellow street lighting and indoor blue lighting casts purple all across pale brick walls and pale valance curtains

I spent too much time on Hero Forge trying to make Tasha Suri's Malini & Priya either kiss or stab one another

Hero Forge screenshot of two women from a Indian-inspired sapphic fantasy book series, The Burning Kingdom, kissing one another. The woman with a dark braid on the left is short, darker-skinned, with simpler clothing in tans & browns. Her slender but muscular arm reaches up into the taller woman's loose curly hair, placed on the back of her neck to pull the woman down into a deeper embrace. The woman on the right has pale teak skin and wears a white silk, sari-like outfit   with an outline of lotus & trimmings in gold

Boo, expectations of masculinity, esp. in societies where bi women exist๐Ÿ’œ but *only* with men who "let" them explore?! Societies that raise and emotionally (mis)shape trans men & women to accept the masc as gatekeeper to both survival & sexuality? Oh, Kittens. Bring women/femmes some autonomy-love!

"dildo of the dark goddess" -- Smiled this morning at this old psychology studies book

A close-up image of a page in an older psychology/women's studies book, where "dildo of the dark goddess" is highlighted in yellow within the sentence, "Also the stake is like a phallus or dildo of the dark goddess, or the member of Gugalanna her husband, who was killed."

High nerdy drag-king idea: Gilga-Mesh top over Enkidu tank

clip of a fashion board displaying the bare chest of a man wearing a brown mesh button-up shirt. Tilted towards him is a navy blue sleeveless t-shirt with the name ENKIDU in beneath a profile of an ancient Mesopotamian head of a bull-horned bearded man outlined in white

I visited the Turkish side of Cypress with a group in 2019, and I only just today realized that Mt Olympus is there! Made me wonder if Greeks chose the location for the gods because it was so far away/inaccessible to most... Or were there (also ) reasons for that due more ancient mythology ? ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿค”
