Die Gottesmutter ending, oh my god. OH MY GOD! OH MY GAAAAAAAHHDD! (I loved it)
Štefan Kuffa looks like a biological child of these three mfs (without the Duke (too handsome)). Like, he could replace any of them and I wouldn't notice😭
every time I read Venus in Furs again and I come to the part where they arrive in Florence I take it so personally. Leopold what do you mean "Suddenly the door is pulled open and the waiter with a theatrical Italian gesture calls [...]"???? Brother he's opening a door. Also "The people are less serious than we; perhaps, they think less, but they all look as though they were happy." please stop Leopold please I am begging you.
long ahh tangent under the cut
and then we could talk here for hours about how Sacher-Masoch fetishezes (pun intended) different cultures and people. He has done it in these examples with Italy but he does something comparable to it in many of his works about Jewish people. Yes, still he was an advocate against antisemism and we should not take that away from him but we need to address how his works do have some pretty blatant antisemitic tropes, here is a good essay about it (academia.edu link and JSTOR link idk which one you prefer). And then obviously the racism in "Venus in Furs" of having black enslaved women as almost "accessories" to the fantasy and the remarks that are written about them which mix racism and misogyny.
sorry rant over y'all can go on with your lives
Is it seasonal depression or is the ever earlier sunset forcing me to reflect on how I haven't experienced anything fun or new or just "summery" this summer and I will only get a next chance in a whole year
Nobody get between me and a man nearly three times my age (he doesn't know I exist)
I might be the only person thinking about the historical Lindheim water pipes in the world right now, isn't it crazy? (I am crazy)
Masoch took the phrase "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" a bit too literally
The way Chateau de Lacoste is basically Čachtice castle
Sacher-Masoch's last words before death were: "Aimez moi" (love me).
Born to be held in the Marquis de Sade's dungeon, forced to have a life and make decisions

Testing tumblr functions with pictures I took yesterday at a gallery
1. Lorenzo Lippi - The Patron of Twinks
2. Big big shoutout to Ladislav Mednyánszky he is my new favourite painter
3. Crucified Narcissus by Ladislav Čarný is so me
4. This random lady is so cool (Clara Ward, Princess de Caraman-Chimay photographed by Károly Divald)
5. Saint Catherine by Simon Vouet. Just look at her. Perfection. (Of course it looked better irl and my cheap phone camera doesn't do it justice)
Nicotine addicts when you don't understand their niche nickname for their favourite product and when you are able to sell them "only" 4 packs of the smokes because that's all the store has: 😡😤🤬😠👹🤬😤😠🤬👹😡😤🤬😠👹🤬😤😠🤬👹😤🤬😠
not to be That Guy but the princess from the princess and the pea had autism for sure
All my attempts at re-reading Venus in Furs are spoiled by me immediately starting to cry
If I could go back in time I would give Sacher-Masoch all my savings so that instead of that blurry cheap photo with Fanny he could have an oil painting made instead. I think such a painting would be so iconic.

Haha I lowkey am only capable of feeling emotional empathy towards people in which I see a significant portion of myself in and it's profoundly impacting my ability to connect with people around me and I feel like a monster hahaha what is wrong with me (like I genuinely feel more empathy towards plushies than towards people).
Couple times when someone asked me why I don't eat meat I responded with "I have empathy" but I only recently realized that it's all just cognitive empathy. When I think about cows being raped to produce milk I don't feel anything, I just know it's wrong.
There's only a handful of people I ever genuinely cared about (two of which are not even irl but from here which feels pathetic) and it's blowing my mind that normal people just feel that all the time. Most of the time if I'm afraid of upsetting someone or accidentally hurting someone it's only because I am afraid of the consequences it would have for ME. Seriously what is wrong with me? This can't be just autism.

I chose the on repeat playlist because I don't really make playlists.
