Listen, I fail to see what's romantic about thrusting a bundle of severed hermaphrodite genitalia at your love interest. They may be collected from sessile photoautotrophs as a traditional human invitation to copulation but it's somewhere on the same continuum as a gift of disemboweled rodents from your pet cat.
@cstross we are animals with money and math. Not otherwise.

@HighlandLawyer @cstross Better than leaving it where you’ll step on it, like when stepping out of the shower.
-
@cstross There's a real double standard here, because people can be really picky about WHICH severed genitalia are acceptable.
Get it right, and it's "sweet" and “romantic”. But make one tiny mistake, and suddenly the person you love most is calling you a “monster" and a "serial killer”.
I hate Valentine’s Day.

I had this one particularly stupid cat who kept trying to teach me to hunt by bringing me a live earthworm every morning.
You do not want to wake up by treading barefoot on a live earthworm on your way to the bathroom.

@cstross @HighlandLawyer When I stepped out pf the shower it was just the mouse’s ribs and a rear leg. A little later I found my cat Sabra had left a gutted mouse in another room.

@cstross No kink shaming. Some people like rotting plant genitalia.

@cstross @HighlandLawyer I’m resisting the urge to share some cat-sitting stories.

I am not sure how a cat can get a whole, full grown (deceased) rabbit through a cat flap, but apparently consuming it in the scullery is sometimes preferable to doing so in the fields or garden.Perils of rural life.

@cstross Quite a few of those severed genitalia can be a bit tricky with a cat in the house too.
I mean I was under strict instructions to never ever bring lilies anyway…

@cstross but. but. disemboweled rodents are one of the best ways to show love and care for somebody!
together with releasing an alive but weakened rodent in such a way that they can have the pleasure to hunt it themselves, of course

@HighlandLawyer @cstross Yep. Once when house/cat-sitting I found the cat outside the back door straddling the headless body of a young rabbit, licking at the stump. I could have done without that.

@cstross You just have to make it weird…
(Currently very much enjoying The Regicide Report, btw. Well done!)
@valkenberg @cstross Charlie only makes it weird on days ending in Y
