Remember back in the day when women's power solely rested in their bodily autonomy if they even had that so poison became a weapon of choice?

Remember how men feared it so much they vilified it as a "weak choice" of the lesser sex?
Owing to men's views on that and in women in general, it's no wonder they feared it. Men don't like a weapon they can't see, nor do they like to die to a pretty face.

My question is--why are these tweets in the past tense when you should still be afraid?
All these men that collect axes, swords, lances, poorly made fake katanas--every single one of them could fall prey to a pretty face and a distillation of Oleander.

Give me fantasy protagonists that use poison god damn it.
Like fuck, a five page desceiption of how THRAX'IL'DUR THE STAR SCREAMING SWORD WAS FORGED and the sword's owner dies two pages later because his breadknife was laced in poison.

GIMME THAT
AND I DO MEAN PROTAGONIST. NOT HEROES. NOT HEROINES. PROTAGONISTS.

TRANS POISONERS. ENBY POISONERS. POISONERS SO DEADLY IT KILLED THEIR GENDER. POISONERS SO EFFECTIVE IT POSIONED THE BINARY. POISONERS SO GLORIOUS THEY POISONED CAPTIALISM
...I should probably get back to writing books soon.
