I hope y'all are writing this with the knowledge that by changing what Wanda is wearing you are also changing Severin's fetish
Venus in furs where everything is the same but there are fleas in Wanda's furs and she catches them so she's constantly itching her scalp

Can I complain about something? The Masoch café in Lviv and it's stupid statue makes me so mad. It is the sensationalization and dehumanization of his person materialised into a physical object. They are so thirsty for tourist money they made a statue of a dead person where you can feel it's genitals. He would have fucking HATED this, why are they so selfish. Imagine if they did this with any other person, I don't think that would be recieved quite well. He is not a person in the eyes of society, just a freak show to gawk at. Before I discovered Masoch there was still this false hope in me that believed in humanity but learning stuff about him was the final nail in the coffin for it. How he was trying to better this world but society who on one hand judged him for his fetish also didn't want to hear about ANYTHING else. How he naively believed that hatred comes from a lack of education, how he supported rural education and worked against antisemitism and all that stuff and nobody gave a f. He probably couldn't even have imagined the atrocities that happened only a few decades after his death. What he could not prevent despite his efforts. Because people are by nature rotten. I witness the future he didn't live to see and think, what unimaginable horrors are in the future from now? Humanity cannot be saved if it doesn't want to save itself. All I feel is disgust and misanthropy.
please guys stream Kassya prelude and Kassya trepak by Leo Delibes cause I need some orchestra to perform the whole opera and put it online.
context: it's based on a short story by Sacher-Masoch. Delibes died before the opera could be arranged and it was arranged by someone else (I don't remember who rn) so it technically could be performed. There was also an exhibition that was recorded for an article for Le Figaro but that's it and I can't even download that for some reason.

happy pride! no matter your gender or sexual orientation, I hope you can find happiness in your life, even if it seems impossible right now
i really wanted to paint this since about march, but haven't really found the time to do so. at last, i finished it before the end of pride month.
the two girls are dressed in traditional Slovak folk dress, or kroj (traditional folk formalwear) from Piešťany region. Piešťany and the nearby village of Krakovany have one of the most gorgeous forms of kroj in the entire country and for a long time, dolls dressed in this style of dress were gifted to foreign delegations to represent my country. the same country that won't represent people like me
it is a form of reclamation, in a way, to depict sapphic love in this dress. we're here, and have always been here, even if the rest of the people will deny us our existence. this is for all my fellow queers living through being a hot point of debate during elections. you are seen and you are loved. you are part of this country, and you are part of our culture, and the culture belongs to you just as much as to everyone else
i love you, and stay safe
Lighthearted vent
Krafft-Ebing was right about one thing though. Bisexuality IS a disorder istg. Specifically the cycle. What do you mean I am missing out on a fling of my dreams just because I am not that into guys this year? In january there was this older guy from my former job (i've always been into older guys) that showed a strong interest in me but I had to reject him because I couldn't bring myself to feel anything. Back in september I would have thrown myself in his arms and I wouldn't even care that he sees me as a woman but in january I just couldn't care less. He's better off financially than me plus he has a motorbike?!? This summer could have been fun but no. I am into girls this year. Bisexuality needs to stop.
I am honestly in amazement that I am able to access 100+ year old archives from cities hundreds of kilometers away, find the information I'm looking for and even be able to translate it to a different language in a matter of seconds. Technology is amazing and the people who digitalize the cultural and historical heritage are saints.
Heart disease!🥰
I still have no idea what Masoch died of
Okay so I have gone officially insane and bought the autobiography of Sacher-Masoch's daughter Marfa in german (only available language) for like 50 euros
TW suicide
Back in april my uncle khs and it did not surprise me. Some months before that I spotted passively suicidal behavior in what I've been told about him because I recognised the pattern from my own experiences. I even said the thought "he doesn't care anymore" out loud to my mother but I never expected him to become active. Like I did not see it coming but it did not surprise me at all. But everyone else and his immediate circle was shocked for some reason. He was in his late 50s and had medical problems which became worse due to his his apathy towards them. I was not close to him and he seemed far away from even his immediate family with whom he lived with, which his increasing drinking problem did not help. This spiral of male loneliness seems so impenetrable, what could have I, a distant, queer 20 year old nephew (also suicidal) done to change the mind of a stubborn old man raised into toxically masculine society? I, in a sense, predicted my uncle's suicide and I do not know what to do with this information.
Moms will just say the most hurtful shit off the cuff randomly like you'd need to get me to sit down for a whole day to formulate something as mean and they'll just do that shit off the dome
best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say
So sick and twisted of ARFID to hold me back from going fully vegan. I can forgive it for killing my social life but having so many of safe foods being egg-based is just unnecessary.
“But that wasn’t really speech, that was an eloquent moaning, a weeping of a sick mortally sick soul.”

I want to join a monastery and live a life devout to religion so badly, I'm just unable to believe in god
A lot of patients of the psychiatrist referenced Sacher-Masoch when telling him about their kinks. They would be like "I like women who hit me and wear fur coats, just like the one in Sacher-Masoch's Venus in furs". During his time Masoch was also famous so his work must have been a lot of people's "awakening" too. He did not write under pseudonyms when he probably should have for his own sake so the poor guy stood no chance.
The term "sadism" as it comes from the Marquis de Sade was already being used in France so Krafft-Ebing only borrowed it, he only really made up "masochism". He also corresponded with a different psychiatrist who independently of him started using "passivism" to describe masochistic urges and Krafft-Ebing was like interesting however I will keep using masochism and now here we are.
learned today (after googling it upon seeing the "Sadomasochism Brothers" post) that masochism was named by a psychiatrist who had read Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's erotic writing and was like "I feel safe in concluding that this man had Fucked-Up Freak Sex Disorder, which now until forever will bear his name", while von Sacher-Masoch was still alive. there are accounts of von Sacher-Masoch being like "bro what the fuck" about this
"«Ich habe alles längst bedacht», erwiderte ich, wie im Fieber glühend, «Ich kann nicht sein, nicht leben ohne dich; ich sterbe, wenn du mir die Freiheit gibst, laß mich dein Sklave sein, töte mich, aber stoße mich nicht von dir.»"

Never thought the first swear word I learn in italian would be thanks to the pope this is so funny
The sheer amount of femboys in Sacher-Masoch's work is astonishing
