#Modern Masculinity

[mpregstuff]

Expecting in Fire Gear | On the bustling streets of NYC, a fireman stands tall, showing off his impressive physique while cradling his 9-month pregnant belly. Clad in a form-fitting maternity shirt that accentuates his blossoming chest and round stomach, he breaks the mold of traditional expectations. This isn’t just any day; it’s a bold statement of strength and vulnerability. People walk by, stealing glances, intrigued by the sight before them. What does it mean to embrace fatherhood so publicly? This fearless figure challenges norms and flips stereotypes on their head. In a world where roles are evolving, he stands as a testament to the new age of family. With every passing moment, he embodies the spirit of modern masculinity and fatherhood.

🧠 BLACKSITE SCROLLTRAP — “THE MAN AFAR”

I stand afar. I see her every day. She works so often, it’s practically a clock ritual. Does she see me? Probably. Do I register on her heart’s Richter scale? No.

I cast thunder and lightning down online, cracking tectonic plates with every sentence, splitting minds open like overripe fruit, exiling pretenders into silence and irrelevance.

And yet— to her, I am a passing shadow.

Just another customer. Just another man with eggs and protein powder in his basket. Just another voice too quiet to register against the screaming chorus of her inbox or the memory of some other man’s voice once whispered into her neck.

She doesn’t realize— I noticed her changing her hair color. Three times this year. She wouldn’t realize I traced her jawline in my memory when all I had was the upper third of her face —when masks were more common than eye contact.

She wouldn’t notice that I recognized her eyes light up when she talked to the tall guy in the flannel shirt with a job probably more exciting than mine.

I’m not a creep. I swear.

I just grab my items from the aisle, bag my own groceries, tap my card— and leave. On time. Every time.

But in those 12 seconds of exposure, I memorize every blink, every lilt in her laugh, every way she moves like life still makes sense to her.

I wonder what her touch feels like. I envy the man she probably has. Because in my experience, very few women are unclaimed— not for long, not ever.

The faster wolves get there first. The ones who don’t need poems. The ones who don’t need silence. The ones who’ve never known what it’s like to love from the other side of anonymity.

I even wonder— shamefully, quietly— what the scent of her would be if I ever had her in the throes of pleasure. I’m not proud of it. But I don’t lie to myself.

Men like me can’t afford to lie.

The world moves on. So I do too.

No one asks how many lonely victories a man must swallow. No one notices when he disappears. They just see the headline, never the withdrawal symptoms of being irrelevant to the one woman whose glance could have rewritten his self-worth.

She’ll never know I picked a different checkout lane once just to see if she’d notice.

She didn’t. Of course not.

She wouldn’t know that I paused one morning in the cereal aisle, just to breathe in the memory of her voice after a long week.

And I’m not asking for sympathy. I’m a man. We are the disposable sex.

If I cried about it, they’d call me weak. If I wrote about it, they’d call me dangerous. If I spoke about it, they’d tell me to shut the fuck up and “be a man.”

So here I am. Being a man. Quietly. Silently. From afar.

Because the world doesn’t stop to notice a man who dreams too poetically about a woman who doesn’t know his name.

But I see her. I saw her. And I’ll keep seeing her until the version of her that haunts my silence finally fades into the noise of the life I never shared with her.

I am the man afar. Not by choice. But by design. By cosmic assignment. By the cruel math of visibility and worth.

And if I am to die unknown, then let my ghost at least remember her with dignity.

With poetry.

With ache that didn't ask for permission.

Let the world burn. Let me be silent.

But never let her be forgotten.

Let the Past Remind Me, Not Blind Me

There are days the past feels louder than my heartbeat. Days I wake up feeling like I’m still stuck in a version of myself I thought I’d outgrown. I carry regrets like relics, like folded letters I never sent. I move forward, sure—but the weight? The weight never really goes away.

And then… I remember Kurt, standing over Remy’s grave. The sky dim, the rain falling like it was grieving too. And he said:

“Remy LeBeau would be the first to remind you that life, like the cards, is wild.” “Yet he moved through his life as a force who believed better times lay ahead.” “Per his kinetic gifts, Gambit had endless faith in potential—yet he seemed so blind to his…” “Haunted by the life of Bayou crime into which he was born. A sinner beyond saving.” “But I think he was bluffing. How could Remy, so tuned to potential, fail to see how his sins made him into a hero?” “Every gambler has a tell. Modesty was Gambit’s.”

That line broke me. Because I know what it’s like to feel haunted. To believe the worst parts of your story disqualify you from being loved, from being chosen, from being enough.

Gambit tried. He fought. He gave everything. And in the end, he didn’t erase his past—he transcended it.

That’s why I resonate. Not because I think I’m a hero. But because I know what it means to carry both sin and hope in the same body. To want to be better but not always know how. To look in the mirror and ask, “Do I deserve the life I’m fighting for?”

So here’s my truth:

Let my past remind me. Of who I was. Of what I’ve survived. But don’t let it blind me.

Let it teach me. Let it sharpen me. But never let it chain me.

I’m not bluffing when I say I’m trying. And maybe that’s enough. Maybe the attempt is the redemption. Maybe loving in spite of the scars is the point.

I’ll carry the weight, but I won’t let it bury me. Not today. Not anymore.

🛡️ WHEN LOIS MADE A GOD KNEEL — The Simping of Superman A Blacksite Literature™ Breakdown of Superman II, Male Frame Loss, and the Weaponization of Female Approval

---

It starts with a cape and ends with a crawl. Superman II isn’t just a movie about three intergalactic tyrants trying to take over Earth. It’s a film about what happens when a god gives up his sovereignty to please a woman who never respected the man — only the mask.

And that’s where we begin.

🧠 THE FIRST RED FLAG? SHE NEVER LIKED CLARK.

Let’s get one thing straight: Lois never “fell” for Clark. She investigated him. Suspected him. Tested him.

And why? Because the dorky journalist with minimum-wage energy and awkward posture couldn’t possibly be enough to satisfy her arousal profile.

She didn’t stumble onto his identity. She chased it — and not out of love, but infatuation with power.

“Clark, you seem… different.”

Yeah, because the real man is hidden behind the costume of the weakling she’d never f*ck.

🎯 NIAGARA FALLS: WHERE “NERDY CHAD” STARTS TO LOOK GOOD

Lois throws herself off a railing. She literally risks death — because she’s so sure Clark is Superman. That’s not romance. That’s a test.

And what does he do? He saves her covertly. Classic.

But that’s not the part that should’ve sent warning bells ringing. It’s the moment when, while cleaning in the hotel room, she suddenly starts to see him.

Why?

Because Clark starts leaking power.

Posture shifts. Cadence cracks. She smells something off-brand — and in women, that always means on-brand arousal.

This wasn’t about “love.” This was about the Chad math checking out.

🔥 THE FIREPLACE: THE MOMENT HE F*CKED HIMSELF

He trips. He lands in a literal fire. Doesn’t burn. Doesn’t flinch.

She stares.

He stands up like nothing happened.

And instead of holding frame?

Instead of saying “Keep guessing, Lois.”

He says:

“F*ck it, you nosey broad. Happy now?”

And just like that? The fall begins.

💀 THE GHOST DAD SAID NO — BUT SIMP ENERGY PREVAILED

We get to the Fortress of Solitude. We see Kryptonian ancestors — literal cosmic hologram royalty — tell him not to do it.

“You give up your powers… you will never get them back.”

But what does Kal-El do?

He listens to the emotional pull of a woman who loved the god, not the man.

He surrenders his power. Not for justice. Not for peace. Not for purpose.

For Lois. The same woman who never kissed Clark Kent until she realized he wasn’t Clark Kent.

Let that sink in.

🧤 DE-POWERED AND DISRESPECTED IN A BAR BY A TRUCKER

Now he’s human. Now he’s “equal.” Now he’s vulnerable.

How romantic, right?

Until he goes into a diner and gets his ass handed to him by a truck driver named “Rock” who calls Lois ‘sweetheart’ and backhands him into a pinball machine.

You know what’s worse than losing a bar fight?

Losing one when the woman you gave your powers up for is watching.

He bled in front of her. He got stomped. She comforted him.

But deep down?

Her nervous system disconnected that day. She knew the god was gone.

🧊 THE WALK OF SHAME TO THE FORTRESS — NORTH POLE EDITION

He limps. Literally limps back into the frozen tundra. Bare-handed. Broken. Human. Defeated.

He walks back to apologize to the ghosts of his ancestors for letting pssy override destiny.*

Because meanwhile?

Zod, Ursa, and Non — literal cosmic fascists — just walked through the White House like it was a DMV.

They made the President kneel. They were broadcasting world conquest in real-time. And where was Superman?

On his “I think I made a mistake” arc.

😈 ZOD DIDN’T WIN. LOIS DID.

Zod may have conquered the White House. But Lois conquered the soul. And in many ways? That’s worse.

Because Superman didn’t get manipulated by force. He gave it away with open consent. He chose softness. He chose mortal love over immortal legacy.

And in doing so?

He betrayed the divine archetype of masculine frame — for validation.

👁️ SUPERMAN IS THE MAN. CLARK IS THE MASK.

That’s what Lois never understood. She thought Clark was the “real him.” She thought she was peeling back layers to find authenticity.

No.

Superman is the core. Clark is the containment suit.

Superman is who Kal-El is when he isn’t hiding for your comfort. Clark is what he wears to be acceptable to a species that doesn’t deserve him.

And Lois?

She didn’t fall for the man. She fell for the illusion of taming the man.

🩸 THE LESSON? NEVER LOSE YOUR FRAME FOR LOVE.

He was warned. He ignored it.

He walked into a chamber that removed his genetic dominance. For romance.

He hollowed out the legacy of an alien god king so he could lay in a bed next to someone who only touched him once he could fly.

And the punchline?

The moment he got his powers back? She couldn’t keep him.

🕯️ BECAUSE HERE’S THE UNSEEN TRUTH:

Lois never loved Kal-El. She lusted for Superman. She tolerated Clark. She thought she could make them merge.

But when Clark folded, when Superman gave up his heritage?

She got what she wanted. And it wasn’t what she needed.

And that’s the story of 80% of modern relationships.

🧠 SUPERMAN II IS A CAUTIONARY TALE. NOT A LOVE STORY.

It’s a myth.

A reverse Hercules. A power-to-pleasure downgrade wrapped in red tights.

And what’s worse?

It ends with a magical kiss that erases her memory.

Which means even the screenwriters knew:

No woman could respect a man who gave up godhood for her insecurity.

💣 TL;DR:

Lois never loved Clark.

She loved the status of proximity to Superman.

He gave up his powers for her.

Got bodied.

Came crawling back.

Fixed the world.

Erased her memory so she wouldn’t remember how hard he simped.

And people call that romantic.

No. That’s propaganda. That’s emasculation with a cape. That’s frame loss with special effects.

🕯️🛐 FAIRYTALE REJECT

How do I get seen in a world where my longing is now illegal?

Where fire is feminist blasphemy, and a woman who wants a man is called brainwashed instead of brave.

I want him.

Not for his polish. But for the very things they shame: the broad shoulders, the fumbling honesty, the confused silence before he says the wrong thing, and means the right one. And keeps trying.

How do I let him know I still remember the stories. The ones they laugh at now. Where the brute who could crush a skull with one hand carved out space in his ribcage to hold the ache of the woman he loved more than himself. And bled for her.

Not in metaphor. In war.

How do I say: I still want that?

Not hashtags. Not sterile flirtation. Not “mutual partnerships” where no one leads, and no one dies for anything.

I want a man who would slaughter a thousand beasts because I cried. Who would die before letting my tears touch the ground alone.

But how do I say this in a sisterhood where blood is no longer sacred unless it's on the battlefield of corporate ambition? Where the cold hands of Father Time wrap around our ovaries like ivy around gravestones, and the labcoats come with freezer plans for futures we might never have the courage to thaw?

What do I do with this fairy tale still pulsing in my chest like an outlaw heartbeat?

Sometimes I wonder if I am doomed to die in the sister-circle of women who trained themselves to sneer at the very magic they once begged for as girls. Before the textbooks. Before the cubicles. Before the rage.

I kept mine. The story.

I kept him.

Even if he’s still just a shadow in the fog of this sterile world.

I remember the boy with a beast’s heart who flinched at nothing— except the pain in her eyes.

I want that.

Even if I have to stand alone to say it.

Even if he never comes.

I’ll die a romantic, with my battle cry tucked into the hem of my dress, still hoping for a man whose soul

remembers the tale too.

Modern!Mizu and The Moment Mikio Betrayed Her

(((So I was writing this moment for something else when it got way too long and so I decide to make it an independent piece. This is set before Mizu meets Ringo/Akemi/Taigen.)))

When they got into the worst fight of their relationship at Mikio's apartment, it escalated to physical attack.

Maybe Mikio assumed she could take it since she was strong. Maybe there was something more brewing under that blank look he got when they worked out together and she was faster, lifted more than he expected, etc. etc.

He had slammed her into the wall, and years of training went autopilot and made her leg kick out to hook him behind the knee and yank him off his feet. Mikio slammed onto his back with a strangled cry. She pulled her pocket knife out of her back pocket so he would be forced to stay back and they could both just...calm down. Her hand had shaken the tiniest bit.

She didn’t step closer to him, she held the blade out so that she could back away herself. She tried to calm her racing heart, she tried to start speaking to deescalate the situation but the abhorrent look in his eyes as he stared up at her from the ground pierced her heart. He called her some choice things that brought tears to her eyes despite resistance.

And then he left the bedroom and slammed the door shut. She tried to follow him but he held it closed so she couldn’t get out no matter how much she started banging or trying to throw her weight into it in panic.

She heard him calling the police on the other side. Her heart sunk into her stomach as she sagged against the door. He knew she had a record from when she was a teenager, the darkest years of her life. If they came there, she was without a doubt going to be arrested and booked. She would lose her scholarship, she’d lose everything she was building at college toward her future. The image of Eiji's disappointed face as he has to bail her out was enough to have her heart jump back up into her throat.

So she frantically grabbed everything that was hers in Mikio’s bedroom, shoved it into her backpack, and proceeded to climb out the window and scale down the side of his fourth floor apartment.

Her hands and knees got scratched up to a bleeding state from the bricks, and on top of that she landed on her ankle badly. There may have been a popping noise, followed by cussing through a tear choked throat. Heart pounding, she limped as fast as she could away from the sight line of the apartment before he could realize she’s gone and chase her.

She wiped the blood from her hands off on the bottom of her shirt.

The familiar burn of anguished rage spread quickly in her chest with the tears coming down faster and faster. She sniffled wetly, and rubbed the underside of her nose with her sleeve.

Passing by the last row of parked cars in the apartment complex she did a double take. Right there in the middle is Mikio’s stupid 1998 Crown Vic’s car. A flash of him giving her her first kiss in the front seats warped through her tears, his warm hand wrapped around the back of her neck as he pulled her in. With clenched teeth her knife flashed out and stabbed the front left tire. There was a hiss, air rapidly leaking out.

The car started to slowly lilt to the side, and it wasn't enough. So she swung her arm back and put her elbow through his driver side window with a shatter that hurt her ears and set off the car alarm.

She cradled her injured elbow, violently being slammed between waves of intense grief and intense rage (and a touch of bitter fear that sat on her tongue despite how hard she tried to swallow it past her closed up throat). For the first time in her life she felt so much younger than she really was as she hurried down the road back to campus, wiping her eyes on her shoulders and flinching every time she set her left foot down wrong.

The next morning was filled with endless (unanswered) calls and texts apologizing and pleading for them to talk. Mizu stared numbly at her phone, before just letting it slip from her fingers into a trash can as she walked to class. She'll just tell the phone company it was stolen so she can get a new phone, and a new number. It's fine. She had Eiji's number memorized.

There's nothing important on that phone anyway.
