Go for it. I'll listen🥰

omg. thank you

So while I've been working, I've been listening to the this is a libravox recording. all libravox recordings are in the public domain. for more information or to volunteer, go to libravox.org wow excuse me idk what came over me there. i've been listening to an audiobook of 1001 nights. the translation is from the 1800s and is even more racist and offensive than you would expect! supposedly there is a new better translation i am trying to get from the library.

anyway, when i'm working, im going more for quantity than quality.

but when the first orgy happened in excruciating loving detail???? in my workplace??? that made me stop. a lot of the stories are tame but every once in a while there is a sex romp. the story i have in mind (Tale of Tàj al-Mulúk and the Princess Dunyà) (rhymes with nunya) isn't a sex romp but it does throw in some bafflingly explicit scenes.

I should also quick say that this is a racist English translation of a compilation of stories that may have also been a translation so idk where any of this actually originated. haven't done the research

first off, this story has tons of queer themes. a princess who hates men and says she'll never marry. an inexplicable crossdressing sequence. two young handsome guys leaving their homes to be together because

Now Taj al-Muluk delighted in the company of Aziz and said to him, "O my brother, henceforth I can never part from thee."

Replied Aziz, "And I am of like mind and fain would I die under thy feet"

i heard that and obviously was like "umm... that's gay"

Also, Aziz has been castrated, which believe it or not, has been the main plot of at least 3 stories so far ("The Tale of the First Eunuch" "The Tale of the Second Eunuch" and apparently "The third eunuch does not tell his tale because they don't have time" lmao) but Aziz is the first one to make it a gender issue. Aziz introduces himself to Taj al-Muluk with the backstory of his castration and says "I wept over myself for that I was become even as a woman, without manly tool like other men, and there was no help."

they aren't even the gay ones. they are both bi. "but wait jordan" you may say. "our modern understanding of sexuality as being an orientation doesn't apply to other cultures or times" and i agree which is why i was baffled at this entire section.

the two men are with this older guy in the bathhouse who

was delighted with them and affected them with a warm affection. Now he was a great connoisseur of bewitching glances, preferring the love of boys to that of girls and inclining to the sour rather than the sweet of love...

even at this, i figured this was about how they were just guy pals??? because there's no way the story is going there, not through the lens of Bigoted White Guy?? the old guy watches them bathe and

...he sat down to await the twain, and presently they came up to him like two gazelles; their cheeks were reddened by the bath and their eyes were darker than ever; their faces shone and they were as two lustrous moons or two branches fruit laden.

Now when he saw them he rose forthright and said to them, "O my sons, may your bath profit you always!

Where upon Taj al-Muluk replied, with the sweetest of speech, "Allah be bountiful to thee, O my father; why didst thou not come with us and bathe in our company?"

Then they both bent over his right hand and kissed it and walked before him to the shop[...] When he saw their hips quivering as they moved, desire and longing redoubled on him; and he puffed and snorted and he devoured them with his eyes, for he could not contain himself...

When I heard the word "quivering" I finally stopped and took notice here and I marvelled with exceeding marvel. After reciting some love poetry:

When they heard this, they conjured him to enter the bath with them a second time. He could hardly believe his ears and hastening thither, went in with them. [...]

Taj al-Muluk taking him by the hand walked on one side and Aziz by the other, and carried him into a cabinet; and that impure old man submitted to them, whilst his emotion increased on him. [...] Taj al-Muluk ceased not to wash him and to pour water over him and he thought his soul in Paradise. When they had made an end of his service, he blessed them and sat by the side of the Wazir, talking but gazing the while on the youths.

and then there is a whole section of poetry about how awesome the public baths are.

i'm still mid-story so I don't know if this has any plot relevance but so far the answer seems to be no, except to show how handsome these boys are. (A little later in the text, an old woman um... well that description actually is nsfw, but it's an offhand mention and also doesn't change the plot.)

I just am not getting over the text explicitly saying that there is a man who is exclusively interested in men (and then presumably the "sour rather than the sweet" is a bottom joke)?!? Them calling him "impure" is as far as the text goes to shaming him about it, and sympathetic characters in 1001 nights have been called way, way worse

#peppapocalypse #again i have not researched the text and am making no historical claims beyond that this book existed in 1888 #long post
