My crush on Kate Beaton was far more intense before I saw her photos and discovered that in real life she is a conventionally hot and stylish woman

From her comics, I imagined her as sweet, quiet, maybe a little chubby, cute in a nerdy way; but now all I can imagine is her getting reamed by cocky alphas who don't give a fuck about history or literature

Feels bad man

SO even in your fantasies, you realised she was out of your league and you just beta-ed out?

i'm speaking in contrast to her Canadian pic. no denying she got a lot thinner, more stylish, and hotter. but I feel you, she's still not going to be a Calvin Klein model ever.

Either way, I'd drag my dick through a mile of broken glass just to hear her fart through a walkie-talkie, as the saying goes.

First, her tippet made of tulle,
easily lifted off her shoulders and laid
on the back of a wooden chair.

And her bonnet,
the bow undone with a light forward pull.

Then the long white dress, a more
complicated matter with mother-of-pearl
buttons down the back,
so tiny and numerous that it takes forever
before my hands can part the fabric,
like a swimmer's dividing water,
and slip inside.

You will want to know
that she was standing
by an open window in an upstairs bedroom,
motionless, a little wide-eyed,
looking out at the orchard below,
the white dress puddled at her feet
on the wide-board, hardwood floor.

The complexity of women's undergarments
in nineteenth-century America
is not to be waved off,
and I proceeded like a polar explorer
through clips, clasps, and moorings,
catches, straps, and whalebone stays,
sailing toward the iceberg of her nakedness.

Later, I wrote in a notebook
it was like riding a swan into the night,
but, of course, I cannot tell you everything -
the way she closed her eyes to the orchard,
how her hair tumbled free of its pins,
how there were sudden dashes
whenever we spoke.

What I can tell you is
it was terribly quiet in Amherst
that Sabbath afternoon,
nothing but a carriage passing the house,
a fly buzzing in a windowpane.

So I could plainly hear her inhale
when I undid the very top
hook-and-eye fastener of her corset

and I could hear her sigh when finally it was unloosed,
the way some readers sigh when they realize
that Hope has feathers,
that reason is a plank,
that life is a loaded gun
that looks right at you with a yellow eye.

The thing with Beaton is that she can never be Queen of /lit/ because we're all too busy envisioning her as the harlot of /lit/. Every thread with her posted turns into this

Also. I bet she gives good head
