“Lord Byron gets up at two. I get up, quite contrary to my usual custom … at 12. After breakfast we sit talking till six. From six to eight we gallop through the pine forest which divide Ravenna from the sea; we then come home and dine, and sit up gossiping till six in the morning. I don’t suppose this will kill me in a week or fortnight, but I shall not try it longer. Lord B.’s establishment consists, besides servants, of ten horses, eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon; and all these, except the horses, walk about the house, which every now and then resounds with their unarbitrated quarrels, as if they were the masters of it… . [P.S.] I find that my enumeration of the animals in this Circean Palace was defective … . I have just met on the grand staircase five peacocks, two guinea hens, and an Egyptian crane. I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes.”
— Percy Bysshe Shelley on the lifestyle of Lord Byron (via timemarauder)
After taking in everyone's feedback and self-reflecting, I have come to the following conclusions:
I'm not into cowboys at all, so that really throws the whole thing off for me. I understand what kind of webbed site/fandom this is, so I get people being into the grumpy old ghoul with BDSM vibes, but it's the finer details that trip me up. In this case, I think it's mainly the cowboy thing.
I'm much more of a synth girl than a ghoul girl, so the direction of this monsterfuckery is simply not my preferred nonhuman Fallout vibe. You gotta work harder to get me into a ghoul, and unfortunately due to #1, the work is severely hindered.
His personality and character arc are interesting to me, so my bafflement comes down to mainly an aesthetics thing, it seems like.
Can someone explain to me the romantic and/or sexual appeal of Cooper Howard? Asking genuinely and without judgement.
I am seeing the Ghoul thirsting everywhere, and while I think he's a fun and interesting character, I am not fully understanding this level of thirst reaction. Usually in these situations I can at least see where people are coming from, even if I don't feel the same way, but with this one, I'm baffled. What is it exactly that has people so parched? I may be too ace to arrive at the answer independently.
