I started going off about it in the new sapphic book server I joined because the funny leftist lady I found (different to the goodreads commie lady) is reading it too and will go off about it with me sometimes.

One of the server regulars was all "I want you to know I am completely unfamiliar with Unjust Depths before you brought it up, and I am intensely amused and appreciate you going out of your way to do a big ol' infodump and gushing (and hyperfocusing?) on it here" which, I'm glad for the enthusiasm and all, cool that they seem interested, but I can't help reading the slightest bit of condescension into that "intensely amused", like yes captain I speak in ridiculous paragraphs, do not bully me... It is going well in there though, I'd say.

When Madame Arabie takes Homa into her lil outfitters and Homa admits "she would have gone wild for a girl wearing this too", Homa is such a filthy lil demure homo, a lascivious gay even. I'm pretty sure she can rock a waistcoat and fancy trousers just as well ✨

Also though "coquettish", there's that word again, I see it and I know. I like this situation maybe less than Homa does, Idk. My affection for evil lady kind of ends when she starts dressing my smol bean workaday cat up as a "boytoy". It could be fun but it seems like it aint? :/ Idk if this is the fun kind of evil lady...

There were two seated on the bigger couch, both Shimii women judging by their figures and features.

For a split second I thought this meant that Shimii had distinct proportions to everybody else and was veeerrrrry confused lol. I will say, I do like how ears and tails are part of Shimii gender expression, it's cute! What's not cute is Homa being a weird racist internally about Katarrans however, noooooooo Homa don't be a loser D:

See though, uh, I don't like this ambiguity, leftist lady I was talking to said she herself was crushing on Madame Arabie... Idk how Homa actually feels about Arabie though, like she is horny but also under her thumb monetarily and also basically a worker under her... There's some kinda somethin I'm not getting here, and it's adjacent to that other issue thing I have. Would Homa still be here doing this if not for the extenuating financial circumstances and Arabie's promise to her father? The horny? I guess she doesn't have a choice... The whole dynamic is really strange, is this supposed to be uncomfortable? I guess it's kind of like a really extreme dom/sub thing, metatextually... My impression is that Homa is 50/50 between "innocent smol bean caught up in dirty work" and "evil gay who wants evil sexy lady" though, an odd mix. Maybe distaste for these specific evil ladies, but it really baffles me how she can go from "hyped up and horny" at Arabie to screaming her head off in fury during a shower...

I do respect her resolve regarding the necessity of her making money from Arabie to survive, but I dunno... "How could she ever escape Madame Arabie's clutches now?" NOT BY FUCKING HER, HOMA! Someone help me out before I say something weird again...

Anyway Homa's description of the Volkische Laurentius tower goes so fucking hard. "It was an evil place, death at the midnight hour." Unjust Depths is now metal as fuck.

Imani's tail curled around Homa's leg, prompting her to quiver.

B-but that's gay?!

Uh I guess I shouldn't worry too much about Madame Arabie specifically, because going by Imani I think Homa radiates "possess and abuse me, hot evil lady!" energy at all times. She is caught between hot evil women. Alas, this girl desperately needs to be saved, or maybe not, since Catgirl Nazi Mommy gave her a new phone...

It does kinda blow ass that her opinion of her own people ("Shimii had no knights. They lived in the shadows of the Imbrians' wars and upheavals. Things just happened to them.) is wrong, she's so propagandised that she doesn't know about Majida and her based jihad. She's so prime for radicalisation it hurts, but now she has a nazi mommy dommy in addition to her crimeboss mommy dommy :/ "What have I gotten myself into?" Good question you silly bitch!

I talked to funny leftist lady about it a bit, and she said Nazi Catgirl Fake Dating is one of her favourite bits so far. So I know I'm interpreting things wrong again, Idk why.
