Simeon Solomon, Love and Lust (n.d.)
In pederastic paintings and literature, Lust was always the enemy of Love, and as often as not it emerged victorious. One of Solomon's best-known paintings was of 'Love dying by the breath of Lust'. His only book, a prose poem of his Spirit's journey towards perfection, led by his disembodied Soul in the guise of a naked, effeminate youth, describes meeting the spirit of Passion. Passion had sought to slay Love, and became in the end the 'Paramour of Hate'.
— Ian Anstruther, Oscar Browning: A Biography
Then, as now, there were 'cultured' undergraduates, and those who were very cultured indeed, read Shelley and burned incense, would always have a few photographs after Simeon Solomon on their walls — little notes of illicit sentiment to vary the monotomy of Burne-Jones and Botticelli. When uncles and aunts came up for Guadys and Commem., while 'Temperantia' and the 'Primavera' were left in their places, 'Love dying from the breath of Lust,' 'Antonius,' and other drawings by Solomon with titles from the Latin Vulgate, were taken down for the occasion.
— Robbie Ross, Masques & Phases

had a dream I went to a hozier concert and mr. hozier stopped singing and pointed to me in the crowd and asked me to go get him some extra crispy tofu and a blueberry shake for after the show and then the crowd passed his debit card to me and when I got it I could see his real legal name was Horace Bob-omb
#then the rest of the dream was me running through traffic trying to get to mcdonalds for the shake and to the store for the tofu#but i could still hear the music from the venue wherever I was#just chattin'#yeah man idk either#i guess is should tag this as#hozier#?????

Birthday gift for my dear friend who loves vampires♥ . The whole thing was made in three days, I had too much fun drawing it! I created the cover drawing in the car on the way to the birthday party. So I had no time to scan it :D Well, if you enjoy reading it let me know and I will try to post more (I am making comics for my friend regularly, I am just too ashamed to translate and upload these silly things online x_x ) _____________________________________ Patreon Commissions

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.

This woman has lost her fucking mind.
