RPF Is Never Okay. Unless Masoch Does It.

autistic swag is smoking weed while stuffing your face with chips, drinking half and half Arizona, and reading Venus in furs because kink and fetish history is your special interest and the creator of the book Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch is where the term "masochism" came from so you wanna read his work

How I feel when I see an actor on TV who I only know from theatre

If you see me make another meme or something this month tell me to fuck off and do my schoolwork

So real

“Until then I had lived as I had painted and versified - that is, I never got far beyond priming canvas, beyond penning an outline, a first act, a first stanza. There are simply people who start all sorts of things and yet never finish any of them. And that was the kind of person I was.”

Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

All my attempts at re-reading Venus in Furs are spoiled by me immediately starting to cry

every day I have to remind myself that normal people do not casually bring up the Marquis de Sade in normal conversations

morana. mother of winter and death; nightmare weaver, bringer of change.

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
