Revin and Grip sat in the little room behind the one-way mirror to watch events unfold. It was a farce: the men that would bully and arrest the girls on the street, flirted amiably with them here. Then, an older man with an armband walked up the gangplank and Revin shrank back in terror and #revulsion. 
Grip noticed Revin's reaction. "Do you recognize him? Who is that?" he whispered.
"It's my father," Revin hissed, with a shudder. #wss366

🎶catching up on 3 #wss366 prompts in one post, tra-la!

Little Uchuma, a piranha lass, was about to turn one, and her parents had invited the whole school to a birthday party in celebration. They #lavished a whole pirarucu on the partygoers, who tore into it with furious abandon, sending bits and flakes and chunks into the water until resembled a fish stew, a scene Uchuma's parents observed with #affection, while on shore, human observers reacted with #revulsion.

Star-Cross Cookies: Part 1

#FanFiction #AscendanceOfABookworm
#Wss366 Revulsion

Having finished giving the chef the next recipe she wanted to try, Aub Rozemyne looked around the kitchen. Sometimes she got an idea when she saw something new. This time, it was a row of brown ceramic pots, each with two blue stars, that caught her attention.

“Milburn, what are those?” she asked the chef.

“Those would be pickles, Your Grace. They’re for Star-Cross Day.”

He took down a jar without further instruction, something he would never have done for another noble, let alone the Aub. But Rozemyne was different. She was relaxed about etiquette and had an insatiable curiosity.

He opened the vessel, releasing the smell of vinegar, wine, and spices. Then he reached in to extract a large, flat, brown bug. “This is a coach beetle,” he said, showing it to her.

“Ughhh.” Her response was involuntary as #revulsion swept over her. To her, they looked like giant cockroaches.

"Why would you eat that?" she asked, scrunching up her face.

“I suppose you wouldn’t know, Your Grace. Next week is a local holiday when the twin stars align. It’s said that proposals made on that day are blessed. Also, if your partner eats one of these, they’ll never stop loving you. Young men make quite a show of swallowing them.”

“Yuck! Why those?”

“When these little devils mate, the male rides around on the female’s back for weeks. That’s how they got the name coach beetle. Some people believe that men who eat them will be as faithful as the beetles themselves.”

Rozemyne thanked the chef and departed. “I know one thing: I’m not giving Ferdinand one of those. Revolting!”

A quotation from Orwell

   In the queerest way, pleasure and disgust are linked together. The human body is beautiful: it is also repulsive and ridiculous, a fact which can be verified at any swimming pool. The sexual organs are objects of desire and also of loathing, so much so that in many languages, if not in all languages, their names are used as words of abuse. Meat is delicious, but a butcher’s shop makes one feel sick: and indeed all our food springs ultimately from dung and dead bodies, the two things which of all others seem to us the most horrible. A child, when it is past the infantile stage but still looking at the world with fresh eyes, is moved by horror almost as often as by wonder – horror of snot and spittle, of the dogs’ excrement on the pavement, the dying toad full of maggots, the sweaty smell of grown-ups, the hideousness of old men, with their bald heads and bulbous noses.
   In his endless harping on disease, dirt and deformity, Swift is not actually inventing anything, he is merely leaving something out.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1946-09), “Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of Gulliver’s Travels,” Polemic, No. 5

#AllStarTrek He certainly seems like a crazed sentient being. Are holograms randomly alive? That seems... problematic. 🤔
