Rape means kidnap.
>not rape because he enjoys it
They only fuck him straight after he's raped in Ovid iirc
>rape warnings are for women
The other two have non-consensual sexy bits with the nymphs dragging Hylas off to kiss and fug, but both of them are about how Heracles is affected by the loss of his Hylas boipussi and how he almost misses the boat because of feels.
It's a warning to not get cucked by nymphs on a mission or lose your shit over some qtboipussy, not a boohoo Hylas is getting sexytime while being waterboarded story.
>implying women can be raped
Most of them aren't people by the end of Ovid. It's ridiculous to talk of raping an object #ApolloDidNothingWrong #DaphnesALyingTree

I am looking for something like.....
1) a space junk-yard where you find abducted alien things....
2) extraordinarily big monuments(ruins of old vehicles, space debris, machines)
3) story where you find dead astronauts(human or alien) or remote planets(habitable or not)
4) anything that reminds you after looking at the image...
.

Thanks in advance

The Rainbow Stories - Vollmann, specifically "The Blue Yonder" a novella iirc

>>7870193

The Blind Owl - Hedayat
The Waves - Woolfe

>>7870651

Some of Gene "Meme" Wolfe's short stories are like that, such as one's in Endangered Species or the Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other stories. A lot of the stories in those books aren't like that at all though, he had a range of styles and not all of them quite to my taste desu. Also have you played the Homeworld vidya game series?

Eyeless in Gaza - Huxley

I'm kind of drawing a blank here. . .I avoid fiction about cats because it makes me miss my old one, and cats are always getting killed in books/movies/tv for cheap pathos
