Anyway, what was Herr Heidegger cycling after, cows? Presumably they didn't abduct the child on the back of a cow.

Good morning, so sorry to bother you. I have the feeling you know a lot about homosexuality in the 19th century and wondered whether you could recommend some books about this topic to me? I've already read some but I would love to know more about it.

Thank you so much in advance:)

Here are the ones I can think of:

Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire

Epistemology of the Closet

LGBT Victorians: Sexuality and Gender in the Nineteenth-Century Archives

Queer Decadent Classicism: Late-Victorian Representations of Ancient Roman Literary Culture (article)

Effeminate England: Homoerotic Writing after 1885

Between Women: Friendship, Desire, and Marriage in Victorian England

Masculine Desire: The Sexual Politics of Victorian Aestheticism

Another Kind of Love: Male Homosexual Desire in English Discourse, 1850–1920

London and the Culture of Homosexuality, 1885–1914

Une histoire de l'homosexualité

Gleich und anders: Eine globale Geschichte der Homosexualität

Hope this helps!

This helps a lot, thank you very much!

I've already read "London and the Culture of Homosexuality"

"Strangers" by Graham Robb is also great.

Right now I'm reading "The Fraternity of the Estranged"

Danke, dass du auch ein deutsches Buch erwähnt hast:)

Thank you ever so much

Stressed?

Have 13.6 seconds of Holmes relaxing in the countryside. There are bees.

Yes, I am actually alive.

Yes, I have reignited an old hyperfixation.

Sadly, there aren’t a whole lot of ghost!Holmes fic out there…

BUT THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW… :D

This was my first time using the charcoal brushes on Procreate.

Everyone shut up I'm going insane

Seriously though I finally watched granada holmes and omfg I love this man more than words can describe, why is he like this

Also for some reason it's SO hard to capture his features correctly (or maybe I'm just out of practice)

Watson: "Anything more?"

Holmes: "Yes... Put my pipe on the table, and the tobacco-slipper."

Watson: "You must rest, not smoke."

Holmes: "Very well... Doctor."
