Venus Lovelace

I always really wanted her and Aegis to win the character poll since they seemed like really interesting characters, but alas they weren't in the DLC either.

Notes:

The Victor of the 39th Game, Reese Arrowroot, was assigned male at birth and when they were reaped they were reaped as such. After winning their games they came out as genderfluid, but in terms of Hunger Games situations they fill the function of a male victor still.

Carrick Manannán turned 19 during his games making him the oldest victor to win.

In total there are 37 male victors (or filling the function of male) and 36 female victors. By the time of the Third Quarter Quell there are 30 female victors and 28 male victors left alive.

The first ten victors (with Lucy Gray presumed dead), Florence Bitterroot, Devante Ford, Kaiona Minamoto, Magnolia Tian, Valentino Altamura, and Paris Doré are dead by the time of the Third Quarter Quell.

Poppy Rustweed is the Female Morphling and Christopher Mercury is the Male Morphling.

Kaiona Minamoto is descended from Native Hawaiians who fled to the west coast before the fall of America, as well as being Japanese on her father's side. Hafsa Mecca is Arabic and part of small group in District 6 that still practice Islam. Paisley Nainsook is of Indian descent. Pyro Hoshino is of Japanese descent. Magnolia Tian is of Delta Chinese descent. Obviously there are more poc victors but I thought these names would stick out immediately and I wanted to give explanations.

Hiii!!! I recently started reading your stuff in mid January, and i’m OBSESSED. I actually had to revive my long dead tumble acc so I could connect with you and be all gushy 😊

anyways. #35, wildcard. You mentioned that you’re an avid reader, and your writing is that of an avid reader. So I was wondering if you have any book recs? I’m specifically looking for romance, but i’ll take anything. Reading fanfics (especially x readers) makes me realize …I gotta get into romance novels bc holy hell.

Yeah anyways love your stuff! And I can’t wait for the upcoming requests fic from your recent update post.

<33 much love

Hi! Omg thank you so, so much, this is so nice :') I am so sad that my old gloomy tumblr acc got lost somewhere in the internet vacuum :c but I'm glad you resurrected yours!

Ok, and as for the book stuff, I hope I won't disappoint but I actually don't read much romance :v now that I went through the books I read I can't identify any common tropes, lol, I just like words? I also love fantasy, I'm a frequent reader of Lord of The Rings and Terry Pratchett (I aspire to die like this man died), Ursula Le Guin and one of my favourite titles still is The Golden Compass, despite everything. So, these are my classics, so to speak. I viscerally hate Harry Potter, lol, hope nobody minds :') I grew up reading Stephen King with a flashlight under my bed covers, telling myself that I'm reading great literature :')

When I was a young angsty girl, I fell into beat generation books and overall poetry. I'm pretty basic here, my fav poets are Rimbaud and Polish poet Rafał Wojaczek. From the books, obviously On The Road made me feel things (who am I kidding, made me want to run away and drink myself to death with a smile on my face), but my favourite Kerouac is Maggie Cassidy. Then I moved to Burroughs, and while Naked Lunch made an impression, my favourite was Junkie. Currently I'm exploring Kathy Acker, who basically took Burroughs and injected feminism into his writing style.

In terms of storytelling, my favourite area is classic Graphic Novels. I think everyone who likes to read should read Watchmen, The Killing Joke and first volume of The Sandman (again, despite everything). From manga my favourite thing in the world is Berserk, the story is crushing.

And the books-books? I read a lot about sex and intimacy, but again, not in the obvious areas. I also tend to favor collections of stories over big novels. My fav story is Venus in Furs by Sacher-Masoch, Black Venus stories collection by Angela Carter. Anything by Anaïs Nin in this area is worth checking out (the area: erotica).

My favourite author of all time is Annie Proulx. I am re-reading Short Range stories collection in English right now and it makes me have to put the book down and scream like every second page. It's a must-read for me if I dare to say that about any book. She is the master of intimacy for me.

Recently I've read The Wasp Factory and Coming Through Slaughter, two completely different titles, but again, a worthy read if you get taken by words, as I do. The first one I will leave undisclosed, but the second is a fictionalized story of the last months of Buddy Bolden, a jazz pioneer whose music is lost to history. It's written like jazz itself, genius.

I also loved The God of Small Things (Arundhati Roy), The Dragon Can't Dance (Earl Lovelace), Surfacing (M. Atwood). I value Hemingway greatly, he's great with words, possibly the best.

Ok sorry for this very long answer :v As you can see I am all over the place haha :D I just like WORDS man :D

「女」字釋形的猜想

古文字「女」字向來釋形作柔順的體態。許慎引王育說為象形字��可能因為所象之形不確。多數學者認同此為一人跽坐交臂之態（如林義光），異文多一橫者為筓，分化者加兩點為「母」。或說斂手斂衿之態。另有一說為「奴」初文，婦人乃引申義（馬敘倫）。唯李孝定提出「兩手有所操作」，曰此乃女紅之事。

文字的創造之初所謂象形，並非寫實之象，而是以事物之核心概念為準，用線條組織符號，表現為抽象之象。不僅中國文字如此，中國畫亦如此（巫鴻《天人之際：考古美術視野中的山水》，2024）。可以確定的是，「女」字從甲金文時代一直演變至篆隸草形真，字形角度變過，曲直變過，多出一橫的異文後來也沒有流行，唯一沒有放棄的就是「交臂」這一特徵。許多漢字在草化過程中也莫名終會保留其至重要的部分，至少會首先選擇放棄末端、飾筆之類。那麼保留「��臂」對於「女」字是否有什麼意義呢？

翻看老照片，發現老一輩的拍照姿勢今人已經做不出來了。古人的姿勢儀態，通過古畫能夠完全保留得下來嗎？學者皆認同日本、韓國人將中國古代的坐姿或席地的某一種演變形式「保鮮」至今，可以反觀想像古人的儀態。但從古畫中看也好，從京都茶道最大流派裏千家所授正坐姿勢來看也好，跽坐時手臂都最多合握於厀，有斂手而不交臂，尤其不會雙手向下交錯。上古是否曾有如此扭捏之態？

至於學者李可星說：環臂意謂臃腫，象徵生殖力；唯女必跽而卩、人不必跽，古人跽坐乃為不露下體；女人自上古已不生產，為社會寄生階層，跽者袖手無所事事之意也。（《古文字詁林》）荒誕不堪，前曰女人生殖（生產）後謂女人不生產，又絲毫不解古代服飾，不知任何服飾都與生活方式相匹配，古裝構造根本沒有走光的風險。只能嘆曰曾幾何時肉糜匱乏至於此乎。

「奴」字為初文之說倒有理據。甲骨文中有一「女」字作反手跽坐之形，交臂與腳在身體的同一邊（劉釗編《甲骨文字新編》）。確實像綁手之態。況且右邊加「丑」或後來加「又」，我猜或為右邊的手脫離下來，或是增加字符作為強調也有可能。不過作為「女」字初文仍然有疑點。

先不把「奴」字當作「女」部字，「女」字的出現應該在包含「女」部之字以前。《說文》女部首接下來的幾個字：姓、姜、姬、姞、嬴、姚、嬀等，都是最早的「姓」。而「姓」字，章太炎《說文解字授課筆記》錢玄同記：「原人知有母而不知有父（感天而生），故姓从女。」如果上古先有「奴」字，那麼三皇五帝之時，「女」字想必已經失去「奴」之意了，不然是否會都以包含「奴」之字命名出身？

文字的創造，代表語言中某一概念產生了用符號來傳遞的需要。「男」字的出現必定是有了農耕之後的事，有了「男」字一定也會有與其相對的字。造字概念也有相通之處的可能。「女」字的對立字不一定是「男」，也有學者提出是「大」、「夫」之類。而「卩」、「人」有立有坐，若避免以今之跪度古人之坐的話，更有可能的解釋是跪坐是文明人的象徵，或純粹的符號處理。

文字之事，尤其在常用字上，往往沒必要的部件就不用，或者逐漸遺失。如果人形的兩隻手無所作為，很可能根本就不會造，用一隻手表示足矣。綁手之人有「執」字，加手銬於「丮」字強調；兩手有所操作有「埶」字，其實右邊也是「丮」，古文來源未必相同，但都是一人與其雙手之形。抱孩子有「保」字，其手至今簡化不佚。因此「女」字之交臂，恐怕不能輕易放棄。

由於對古代服飾的興趣，我從字外得到一些靈感。最近從實驗考古老師學得用紡錘紡羊毛線的方法，用一根棗核形細木棍，下端穿上一個小圓形陶或石重物，繞上線則足以使之快速旋轉，如懸空陀螺般。另一頭把羊毛纖維梳開，綁在木棍（distaff）頂端，歷史上木棍有長有短，右手轉軸，左手把纖維一點點拉出來，就可以紡成細線了。這個技法自古無大變化，而且來歷甚古。

世界各地都出土大量完好的陶/石穿孔重物，河姆渡遺址所出可以上溯到7000年前。讀書得知「專」字來自「叀」，是一軸線的象形，如今終於知道這紡專下部的「厶」是什麼了，甚至可以聯想到陶土材質的「磚」。中國紡織業過於發達，漢磚畫上的紡織圖已經都用紡輪機了，有些還同時紡三軸線。歐洲直到15世紀油畫中仍然普遍流傳手持紡錘的圖像。不過自希臘傳統以來，紡線的動作已經成為女性智慧或權利的象徵，雅典娜代表了紡織、手工藝、智慧、藝術和���利。她的象徵符號包含了紡紗桿（distaff）和紡錘（spindle）。有學者提出，希臘女神雕塑造像中張開手臂一高一低的姿勢，很可能就是紡線的姿勢。不過細線很難用雕塑表現，而雕塑破損，信息丟失以後，女神們手中的持物就變得各式各樣，多數變為象徵戰爭的盾牌和長矛了。在那不勒斯博物館的維納斯雕像Venus de Capua手中無物，然而卻是標準的紡線姿勢：左手二指抽絲拉放，這是控制線粗細均勻的關鍵，所以眼睛望向左手；右手掌心向下，紡錘連著紗線應該穿掛食指與中指間，用拇指與食指轉動中軸，並根據線的長度調整遠近。

今人多言「民以食為天」，卻忘了古人治國是衣食並舉、耕織共興的。《史記·周本纪》說：「衣食於是乎生。」《管子》：「一女不織，民有為之寒者。」今人想像軍隊可能只有武者，其實織造、廚師、樂師都是戰勝的必要條件，須一併帶上戰場。而紡織自古都是以女人主操，從上古狩獵採摘社會到農耕都延續。聖人之作叫做「經」、漢人以經書為基礎作「緯」，也用紡織的術語。地球也以經緯線定座標，貫穿至今計算機編程語言（Ada Lovelace），都與紡織技術最基礎的以緯穿經非上即下這一概念不可分割。「男耕女織」這個詞，已經可以證明這是古人從概念上對男女分工合作的共識。以紡織代表女人和以耕田代表男人同樣合情理。

李孝定在《甲骨文字集釋》中說：「夫男女之別於文字之形體上殊難表示，故就男女工作上之差異以為區別，女蓋象跽而兩手有所操作之形，女紅之事多在室內也，男則以力田會意，男耕女織，各有專司，故製字於以見意也。」于省吾《甲骨文字詁林》引為「女」字條首，想是認可。

那麼為什麼用「交臂」來表示紡織呢？我以為交臂不是像歐洲那樣象徵紡線，而是織布。去年在倫敦古裝學院（London School of Historical Dress）上課，校長Jenny Tiramani說，直到18世紀，凡是一人操作的平織機（相對於兩人操作的立織機），世界各地布的寬度大約都取決於人體輕鬆交臂所能夠到的寬度。為何如此說，我當時沒有問，觀看織布視頻似乎沒有包含交臂這個動作，也許是因為在發明飛梭以前，兩隻手都需要能夠輕鬆夠到布的左右兩邊才好控制。

為了檢驗這個想法，我先量了自己交臂的寬度，極限約70cm，輕鬆一些60cm。網上有信息說工業革命之前的布寬以手臂張開的寬度為限，也就是中國的一「尋」。但是翻看18世紀製衣圖版，大多布寬只有50cm左右，手臂張開的說法顯然不準確。中國古代布的寬度單位叫做「幅」，其他「丈」、「尺」、「寸」、「尋」等，源頭都是以人體為準的。

學者馬怡《漢代的麻布及相關問題探討》（2014）文中資料很全：

以歷代記載與當時標準尺推算布幅（cm），

無一能達到「一尋」寬度的。

馬怡文中還說：「與尺的長度、布的單位長度的變化相比，幅寬的變化較小。長期以來，幅寬大多在50―60釐米左右，相對穩定。」「幅寬保持相對穩定的根本原因還在於，當古人用織機織布時，兩手左右投梭的適宜尺度即為50―60釐米左右。」註腳曰：「有研究者認為，手工操縱織機時，『投梭織布最輕便省力的尺度就是50釐米』。見周洪《麻冕之升數考》，《南方文物》2006年第3期，頁143。」

正如希臘女神紡線的姿態象徵化之後，丟失了手中之線，只被看作女人的美態，也許中文「女」字保留至今的「交臂」，正出自織布時終日反覆穿梭緯線這一象徵文化與智慧的動作。以此附會李孝定先生之說。

Question: Secret cuddle time with your lover (current or future) when you are having a movie night with friends around

Deck: Cozy Witch Tarot Deck by Amanda Lovelace

Card: Page of Cups

The cuddling is likely to come as a surprise. Your lover just can't keep their hands to themselves and let them sneak up your body. Maybe a bit shyly first but if you don't pull away, they get more daring. Very secretly they might snake their hand into your back pocket and start randomly teasing and pinching your butt while cheekily shushing you when you squeal. You might ask them to pull the hand out of your back pocket but that only makes them putting it on your thigh. Be prepared to endure some squeezing, scratching, tapping and rubbing from your lover. They never aim your lap directly but they are so dangerously close to it.
