Strange role models for how to be, how to treat your lovers

“I have been generous up until now, but I can be cruel… Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that the child be taken, I took him. You cowered before me and I was frightening. I have reordered time, I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn’t that generous? … Look at what I’m offering you– your dreams. I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.”
