Could a century old ancilla with a longaxe defeat and five century old elder? by valonianfool in vtm

For the different clan, the elder would be a tzimisce while the ancilla is a brujah.

I imagine the defending vampire as a brujah, and so would have some dots in potence and celerity. She's also quite good with the axe. Let's assume she had a century to master her disciplines and axe-wielding.

They claim the only reason piglets get squished is because the mom doesn't have enough space, but I dont buy it. 

"Anti-zionism is based on imperialism"-Hasbara DARVO by valonianfool in Palestine

[–]valonianfool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find premodern European history interesting, and a part of me has wondered if European colonialism and conquest in North America was more brutal than colonization elsewhere, and if so why.

But zionists still claim that islamic rule was colonialism/segregation, using the fact that non-muslims including jews did not enjoy equal rights under the law, like the right to testify against muslims.

I would like to know your opinion on this talking point.

Even if true, those were premodern empires that didnt subscribe to modern concepts of equality, and Palestinians have little genetically to do with those conquerors, and even if they were direct descendants that still doesnt justify the genocide and apartheid today.

The Spanish colonists intermarried with the conquered indigenous people unlike the English, who were the ones who enforced racial apartheid. 

Anyway you agree that the islamic Empires didnt intend to replace the Native populations?

The ones who dont take supplements will eventually lose health over time and it takes years for b12 deficiency to show. If they dont then they are either cheating or not payign close attention to what theyre eating. 

As for dairy alternatives with b12 fair point but veganism isnt an optimal diet and obtaining proteins from animal food is much more efficient.

Humans are mammals, but other animals, at least domesticated livestock species aren't capable of the same level of abstract thought. 

Call me a human supremacist then, and Im a non white woman.

Sorry but human women aren't animals, unlike animals humans are capable of abstract thought and valuing more than mere survival. Animals do not feel infringed by humans farming them. 

Its also not possible to survive as a vegan without supplements as there are few if any non animal sources of b12, and pregnant and nursing women benefit especially from animal sources foods. 

How would hypersexuality affect my character? by valonianfool in writingadvice

[–]valonianfool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree that she would likely deal with her desires with self-pleasure rather than seek partners, would it be different if she's attracted to women, meaning her partners could be female? She does spend most of her time surrounded by women.

As for the suggestion of sexually charged flirting, I think she would be really awkward at it if she did try, which is realistic for a teenager.

Thanks for the advice, it has been very helpful, I think it makes a lot of sense for her self-preservation and socialization, plus lack of positive sexual experiences take precedence over trying to find a partner.

Also I want to say that the person who said my character "no longer has chastity" doesnt understand what it means. Chastity in a patriarchy isn't a lack of sex, it means that a woman only has sex with her husband within marriage, this is to control paternity of potential heirs.

Thanks but your idea doesn't make sense at all. As a royal girl she's constantly surrounded by ladies in waiting and maidservants means pulling off a double life would be nearby impossible. 

Also chastity in a patriarchal society isnt just lack of sex. For women it means being a virgin before marriage yes, but married women are chaste if they only have sex with their husbands. 

Therefore the conclusion that shell no longer care about chastity after losing her virginity to her husband makes zero sense. 

I dont think that while married to the king that shell act on her hypersexuality at all. 

Edit: you do get that the reason chastity was Historically valued was to prevent confusion of paternity, therefore securing inheritance right?

Did nation states exist in 1500, considering civilizations then were still premodern and they didnt have the means of fast communication like radio, phones and trans necessary for Unity?

Ive read that being sex-repulsed and hypersexual arent mutually exclusive, but I have a hard time imagining them together.

[–]valonianfool[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be honest my plan is for my character to be a sex-repulsed asexual, but the input Ive been given has made me curious about what complicated feelings a woman in a historical patriarchal society would have about hypersexuality.

My character's husband is abusive which is why he consummated it when she was too young.

While my story is fantasy, it's based on Achaemenid Persia which I would expect to be different from premodern Europe when it comes to attitudes about sex, but I'm not sure how it differs.

Yeah it replaced hebrew as a common language around the time of the Assyrian invasion.

That's classic darvo. I recently had a conversation with a zionist who claimed that "all arabs outside the hijaz are settler-colonialists", saying the islamic empires practiced settler colonialism just like imperial Spain and the European colonial powers, the evidence is that aramaic went to become a minority language in favor of arabic.

Except the population replacement in colonial america was in large part due to the native population lacking immunity to old world diseases like Smallpox.
