what if jake gives you a hickey and you tell your friends that a mosquito bit you so he gives you another one. "let‘s see if they still believe you that a mosquito bit you."
jake wants his work to be acknowledged and he won’t let you get away by calling his art a mosquito bite or anything close to that, which is why he’d pepper kisses all over your neck and clavicle so that his love bites would be visible to everyone, his soft lips all over your skin as he sucks and bites on it, making you whimper with how pathetically needy he made you with simple kisses, “call them mosquito bites one more time and i’ll have your whole body covered with my marks,” he’d say, voice raspy and the next day you’d sigh, cause you have no excuse whatsoever for your hickeys and the mosquito bites definitely aren’t that big.

I just read your response about how the Erin's didn't realise the colonialism themes of DOTC and now I'm wondering if it's because they're British - a big fucking colonialist country
I am also British and I have seen first hand how watered down the empire's negative consequences are in schools. I still remember being told, "the only ones that weren't having a great time were the slaves." when in reality no-one but the British was having a good time
It's unthinkable that the fact they are White British Authors of a Certain Age didn't contribute to it. Like... that's just how culture works, even if it somehow wasn't at all related to their formal education. It influences how you think.
(Also as an aside, even most of The British didn't like the whole empire thing. 3/4ths of Britain isn't England. 2024 is still young, come on guys, be hilarious)
I can't ENTIRELY pin this one on you guys though, the writers are English but their biggest audience is American. And the Americans also predictably failed to catch the themes. ALSO a big colonialist country.
(I happened to get a really good education though, especially for a public school. I don't know if My Fellow Americans even learned about the Whiskey Rebellion or the Banana Wars)
It's also hard to explain it, but the Erins also have a very British way of writing fat people. There's overlap between them, but Brit and American fatphobia has two 'trends.'
American fatphobia tends to frame weight as being funny, pathetic, and a sign of a lack of discipline. English fatphobia tends use it to make a villainous or annoying character appear even more vile, greedy, and unhygienic. American media has also had a stronger trend of body positivity lately, whereas I'm having a hard time even thinking of overweight English characters who are not mocked for their size.
These are just the two things I've noticed though. I'm sure there's more noteworthy trends about WC that's influenced by its authors coming from where they do.
