i myself am caught in a time loop of rewatching alfred & henrys meeting in the park and i just realised when alfred first looks up at henry after talking there's a Reaction™, a sudden averted gaze & a quick hitched breath and the only reasonable explanation i have is that henry looks SO PRETTY AND GOLDEN in that lighting with THAT suit that I too would be rendered breathless
#bodies netflix#bodies 2023#alfred hillinghead#henry ashe#alfred x henry#like actually don't even ask me how often i rewatch that moment and karl and esther at the police station#because i WILL lie to you#THE LIGHTING IN THAT SCENE THO??????? WHY IS HE SO GOLDEN??#WHEN DID THE MILKY BAR KID GROW UP TO BE A BEAUTIFUL GAY VICTORIAN????#I beg u all pls rewatch and tell me if im crazy

Victorian/Pre-WW1 Era US Policeman Studio Portrait
Here’s a piece of history that speaks volumes without saying a word. This striking studio portrait, likely taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, captures a US policeman in full uniform, complete with a seven-pointed badge and the distinctive helmet of the era. The formal pose and serious expression are a powerful reminder of the early days of law enforcement in rapidly growing American cities.
What makes this piece even more intriguing is the small obituary fragment affixed to the back of the photo. Although weathered with time, it offers a tantalizing connection to the life of the person in the image—perhaps a clue to their identity or a poignant reminder of their legacy.
Owning this portrait is like holding a moment frozen in time—an opportunity to reflect on the brave individuals who helped shape the future of law and order in the United States.
🛡️ Available for $70 at VDG Militaria.
Curious about the story behind the image? Click below to learn more, and don’t hesitate to make an offer!
✨ History collectors and enthusiasts, feel free to reblog and share your thoughts—what do you imagine this officer’s story might be?

The housing market might be depressing but at least we have sort by > highest price
#nothing like a £1.8 million converted Victorian police station that's ugly as shit to make you feel better#it's a 5 bed so do four of you want to go splits for the low low price of 360 000#I cannot overstate how ugly the interior of this thing is like they tried to go medditerranean with smooth white interior walls and arches#and the bath is like this translucent orange glass thing? awful

#MORE CONTEXT: i would be arguing that bridget jones is not a feminist novel in terms of theory - but claiming it as anti-feminist is#disingenuous#and for the holmes one i would be looking at how granada holmes succeeds by sticking almost religiously to the text#whereas elementary as a modern re-telling makes the most of its medium (new york / police procedural / gender bent characters)#to explore new and fascinating angles#unlike bbc sherlock. which tries to paint victorian plots onto modern london with not enough modern explorations

thinking about vampiric arakawas again just so i can make a 'blood-sucking politician' joke
#snap chats#have i ever posted my vampire arakawa musings. i think i did long ago in a distant land. or at least for halloween vjaERLVKJ#anyway i was having my evening stroll with my dog and thinking about how much i love dark-renaissance age stories and whatever#which is a weird way to lead into vampires since At Least Dracula vampire stories dont start until the victorian - progressive era#though i guess you can do whatever you want with mythical creatures and its not as if vampiric stories cant start during the 1400s either#theyre immortal and Not Real (i hope) so anythings possible theres no need to be super restrictive#i am. literally not getting to the point Point Is it could be funny .....#thats why they cna be really good assassins like just eat your targets tf <- vampires dont eat people#but then of course i have to wonder the implications ... oh ive definitely made this post but im still curious#fuuuck man i wanted to make my joke but i just realized how do i even get to that joke cause i dont think masato would be a vampire#dhampir as i definitely said way back then IF THAT. what were the circumstances wait shut up why are there police next door#bro im too nosy this post is interrupted hang on#not nosy enough to keep watching im bored its probably nothing anyawy. cause i think sawashiro and ikumi woudlve been human#like during the uhhh idk dark ages and maybe arakawa turns sawashiro into a vampire later on but what of masato .....#idk im not gonna think too hard about it. right now just take my blood-sucking politician joke idea we'll figure it out later#stopppp i was wondering about vampires in japanese pop culture but then i rmemebered mandurugo WHICH. are filipino but STILL FOUL#im everywhere im ending the post now bye#wait i have to end this post cause why tf did my bestie send me a tweet being like 'look forward to the future of chao'#since shadow x sonic generations is coming soon LIKE DONT PLAY WITH ME AVBOUT CHAO I DONT PLAY ABOUT THEM FUCKERS#ok im ending the post now for real bye im gonna throw up

is there a market for a jekyll & hyde erotic novel the way there's a market for vampire sex
#something something i created you to separate myself from everything i hate *about* myself‚ and it didn't even work#you are in me. i am in you. i hate you. i cannot live without you. you are killing me.#you are all my most depraved desires made manifest. no one can know about you.#i want to end this‚ you consume me day and night‚ you are my ruin#jekyll and hyde#also i think the moral police both of the victorian era and today would hate it and that makes it fun#...i am NOT putting this on the WIP list (yet)

Gerald Harper guests as Deputy Commander Rae Cox in Gideon's Way: State Visit (1.1, ITC, 1965)
#fave spotting#gerald harper#gideon's way#adam adamant lives!#adam adamant#itc#1965#state visit#character actors#this was the year before he put on the wig and became that most noble of victorian adventurers...#Gerald was already a bit typecast at this point‚ invariably playing military officers or senior police types in most of his roles in the#10 yrs or so he'd been acting. usually upper class stuffed shirts or slightly louche‚ Adamant would be his first chance to get really#playful with a part. here he is‚ unfortunately‚ a dick: his Deputy Commander is acknowledged to be capable but inexperienced and#as such has acquired a monstrous chip on his shoulder. mostly he takes this out on his poor unfortunate wife (don't worry‚ she leaves him#half way thru the ep‚ and quite right too). he does well in a difficult role‚ managing to wring just a little pathos out of this#antagonistic‚ bullying ass. this was the first episode shown on british tv‚ despite being about 6th in production‚ and it's an odd choice#for an opener‚ not least bc the home life element of this ep is concentrated on Harper's one shot character and not the Gideons#by the end it feels like we know this jerk better than we do the title character‚ which must have been a little jarring when he never#returned in the next week's episode (or indeed any of them after that)

"The Genius of Advertising Could No Further Go"
National Police Gazette (Vol. 36, Iss. 147).
Magazine illustration, 17 July 1880.
Archive Link.
Fair warning: yapping ahead. Things I explore: the National Police Gazette, the illustration, and a teeny history of 19th-century women brothel owners... and also an apology because I didn't mean to write all of this.
THE NATIONAL POLICE GAZETTE
"THE Genius of Advertising Could No Further Go—An Enterprising Proprietress of a Bagnio Places a Photo-Lithograph in Her Window Setting Forth The Charms of the Inmates; New York City" (full caption) is from the National Police Gazette, a magazine founded in 1845 by Enoch E. Camp and George Wilkes that covered murders, outlaws, and sports—as any man-interested tabloid would (I'm not a man, but yippee-ki-yay, would I tune in). And, of course, the gazette would include scandalous (on the cusp of obscene and illegal (Victorian era, keep that in mind)) images of female sex workers and performers (think of it as the time's Playboy... silly enough, they also had Marilyn Monroe for their cover, this being 1956 instead of PB's 1953).
TRAGICALLY, the National Police Gazette would see its largest spike in popularity during the Great Depression before suspending publication from 1933-1935 due to selling ownership twice, being sold again in the late sixties, and then killing the magazine's production in 1977. A whole 132-year reign, including being the prime news for Boxing in the 20s (the editor and proprietor, Richard Fox, handed studded belts to champion fighters) and being barred by USPS, declares this magazine not only a historical relic but also a forgotten yet still-living America—one for the men (and, of course, us girls. After all, this was peak American).
ILLUSTRATION
BACK to the picture. The caption mentions the word 'bagnio,' which, upon scanning, accidentally read the N as an X, so I searched up the word to make sure I was reading it entirely correctly—I was. It's an archaic term for 'brothel' (a place where patrons visit prostitutes). The illustration depicts men staring at images of prostitutes that are pinned on the window by the owner (can't blame men for using women to make money as, in this situation, it's a female owner).
WOMEN & BROTHELS
SURPRISINGLY enough, women dominated Western America, building communities and providing for the economy. The fact I call it surprising is because I just learned this (Feminism should fight against history erasure because this should've been a widely talked about chapter in HS American History)! As much as I believe women shouldn't sell their bodies and that we need to better take care of women (forced prostitution—sex slavery—runs the prostitution industry), I can't deny the history women have with Bordellos, not as employees but also as owners. Madams are the title of these female brothel owners, and they were common back in the 19th century. Most of the time, Madams were entry-level (showgirls) who made almost as much as factory workers and worked their way up to the top or used their money to create inns and parlors, expanding their wealth. These women, though taking advantage of their own and other girls' (usually aged from their mid-teens to middle-aged) bodies, capitalized and found their place in labored society... something that can be considered early feminism. They planted themselves in the economy and made it known that they could own property, make money, and (yes, even in 1800s United States) vote. That, you can applaud.
APOLOGY
I didn't actually expect to yap on this post; I was writing my book, scrolling for images, and found this one, and wanted to include the full caption... which ended down a rabbit hole😭

I'm *this* close to going to inflicting my Gina quits Scotland Yard agenda on this fandom as a whole. Soon—
#don't know if this concept will truly appeal to that many people but i just think#the nature of the police force wouldn't sit right with gina. and because *gestures at victorian classism and sexism*#the yard wouldn't listen to her hopes of reform#she would quit i think#also i've started reading JSTOR articles for this...that's how i really know there's no going back#gina lestrade#tgaa spoilers#the great ace attorney#axolotl screams into the void
