Status Updates From Orlando

Bien sabe Orlando que a veces, solo a veces, el amor y la lujuria van tomado de las manos.

Chapter 7 - Chaotic Soulmate Just Dropped 💅🏽

• We meet Sea Captain - Marmaduke Bonthrop Shelmerdine
• Orlando and Shelmerdine sense something uncanny in each other
• Each suspects the other isn’t bound by traditional gender rules
• Their connection skips small talk
• They marry quickly, but it feels equal and liberating rather than restricting
• Shelm leaves for sea; Orlando remains independent

The true length of a person’s life, whatever the Dictionary of National Biography may say, is always a matter of dispute.

We’ve been all over the place. I listened to Ch 2&3 on an audiobook, and technically I’m “done” with the book bc I listened to the last chapter from the audiobook too, but I never actually read ch 4&5 and I have an exam on this book on Thursday so I should at least try to read them.

Orlando is explicitly a bisexual icon with lovers of all sexes, didn’t realize it was stated so overtly. Go Virginia.

Orlando... we need to get it together.
