Well Great Now I Desire To Be Crucified. "Thanks" Masoch.

Never thought the first swear word I learn in italian would be thanks to the pope this is so funny

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

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

nightmare blunt rotation

"«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.»"

Venus im Pelz von Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

sad slav saturday

Speedrunning german language because I have HAVE HAVE to read Die drei Kinder im Herrengarten by Marfa von Sacher-Masoch and all her hopelessly obscure work

Today I went to Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien so I'm posting the least atrociously photographed art I have from there ^^

Behold! Helena Fourment! (Only real ones know the context) (I am ashamed to admit this painting was the entire point of the trip and even after seeing it with my own eyes I still dislike it lol)

Judith with the head of Holofernes:

1. Carlo Sacareni

2. Simon Vouet. Always a pleasure to see his work in a gallery.

Ancient statue of godess Isis. She's so badass looking and the two colors of marble, breathtaking.

Girl in a fur, Tizian. I have no idea if Masoch ever saw this painting so just in case I am in love with her for him. But genuinely, my favourite from the "new" paintings that I saw today.

Me n who? (Idk who they are ngl)

Apollo and Daphne, Jakob Auer. One of those that impressed me the most.

More Apollo.

Dionysus, good to see you!

Aaand souvenirs:

(Somebody cure me of autism please)

Is this really his full name?
