“Go challenge the establishment in the primary” is the centrist equivalent of saying “go make your own comics/games.” If you actually do it and are successful, they get very bewildered and irate.
In a shocking upset, New York Rep. Joe Crowley, who is the fourth-highest ranking Democrat in the House and had been considered a possible future speaker, has lost his primary to challenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A community activist, Ocasio-Cortez is a shoo-in to represent this heavily Democratic and Latino district that spans Queens and the Bronx.
As an avowed democratic socialist, Ocasio-Cortez ran a challenge from the left against Crowley, who has been in office for two decades and is chairman of the Queens Democratic party. Crowley had access to immense resources, and in the final months of the campaign, he outspent Ocasio-Cortez $1.1 million to just $127,000.
Ok so yesterday my friend told me I had a “straight aura” to me. I came out to her as bi a few months ago and she really supported me in that and I really appreciated it. But now she’s convinced I’m actually straight.
A few weeks ago I went to a Pride Club Meeting for the first time. I’d just gotten the guts to do it. I introduced myself a bisexual. Later in the meeting I was called “another questioning lesbian”.
Stop discrediting bisexuals. Stop telling us we’re straights looking for attention or gays to unsure to come out “completely”. Stop telling me I’m wrong about my own sexuality, when it has taken me years to become comfortable with it and accept it.
How many times a day do you think Shades went down on Mariah?
What was their favorite position?
How often do you think they used condoms?
1- Yes, with conditions. He had to keep his hands to himself, or he couldn’t look away, or he had to be restrained/tied down, etc. She did it for herself, because she enjoys it, and it happened to be something that he received pleasure from.
2 – Yes. Bossy, bottom, murder bae definitely made sure he took care of Mariah in every way she wanted.
3 – First thing in the morning and the last thing he did at night, with the occasional reward in the office at Harlem’s paradise
4 – Oh god…
5 – Probably a lot in the beginning, she didn’t trust him. Later in season 2? Not at all. I’m sure there was a lot of spontaneous fucking.
Total agreement! I interpret them in a femdom light and wanted to add my ideas to your take; not assuming you’re taking it that way! What you said just also fits with my preferences for the ship.
re: 1 & 2 – IMO the idea that being in charge would mean foregoing doing things she likes would (rightfully) annoy Mariah if anyone dared suggest it to her. There is nothing inherently submissive about blowing someone or having them fuck you. I think we can see how this works in other parts of their life: Shades is happy to take care of her without ever thinking it means he’s in charge of her or controls her. So, they have both the full range of sexual pleasure and the emotional support that in the worst, patriarchy damaged versions of femdom women aren’t allowed because somehow it’s “weak.” /eyeroll/
3 – I actually headcanon her with a special thing for fingerfucking, but yeah. I could see cunnilingus being a pretty frequent part of their day.
4 – I think his favorite position is doing whatever she wants because it feels so good to be wanted like that and she… idk, maybe caught somewhere between being fucked just right and riding his face, depending on whether she wants to just lie back and enjoy or do the work
5 – Yeah. Condoms for a while. Then she told him he was going to get tested for EVERYTHING, so he was, and when he got his clean bill of health she tossed the condoms and took him whenever she wanted. Really likes the feel of him. I loved the way Alfre played the scene where Mariah just eases down on top of him like she owns him… delicious.
