while source hunting i found "Determined Raptures": St. Sebastian and the Victorian Discourse of Decadence by Richard A. Kaye which i think is about what i was talking about a few months ago abt st sebastian always being drawn sexually, but it goes into why which is cool

link to me going on abt st sebastian always being so erotic that is mostly for me because i keep losing it and i need a link or else it will be lost forever

#apparently he's a homoerotic icon which. i am not surprised ngl #i also found “Wantoning with the Thighs”: The Socialization of Thigh Sex in England 1590-1730 by Will Fisher #which.#is interesting #anyway let's talk about my day because i want to #i've gathered a lot of sources for my eroticism paper and had a genius bigbrain moment where i realized michelangelo's dying slave #could maybe be a venus pudica (specific pose typically reserved for venus-like figures. aka “modest” venus)#and i was like. yippee!! that's inherently sexual!!!! and it came from my brain so i don't have to cite it #also someone came up to me curious to what i was doing (bc i am spread across a large table w a lot of papers and i keep staring at #michelangelo's slave sculptures. and i have been. for four hours)#and i was like. i'm doing research and it was cool. they like art hist too. yay #also today was my last forensic psych class :((#so sad. i love that class to death #also i almost got run over by a stupid fucking driver again!!!! >:(#this is because a main pathway for psych students in particular has so many blindspots and The Crosswalk is hiding from drivers #so they just hit the gas and hope no-one's crossing. but i am!!!! pay attention to your surroundings in a moderately high-foot-traffic area
