So I'm writing a series called "after the island" and it's on AO3 and it started out as one thing and rapidly turned into a series of stories about being queer in the '70s. Which inevitably will lead to a series of stories about being queer in the '80s. And everything that entailed, which was brutal. I'm not going to lie. I was born in the '60s and having the opportunity to write about people and places that aren't with us anymore has come to mean a great deal to me and I'll probably be writing this series until the day I die even if people stop reading it. Lol.

I just hope that the world never goes back to a lot of the dark places the queer community has been in my lifetime and I hope I'm able to get across the joy we experienced as well as the pain.

I also hope that should the world take a turn for the worse, these stories will be helpful to somebody out there the way they would have been to me back in the day.

I think I will always write this series with love and remembrance until I myself am in need of remembrance. ❤️

Hi all. I am dead tired. I'm doing that thing that nurses do where I'm trying to switch my night schedule to day schedule for a while and it's kicking my ass. I might be quiet and less productive while my body deals with this. 💖

Franz von Bayern, commonly known as the Duke of Bavaria, is the current head of the House of Wittelsbach. His family ruled Bavaria until the German Revolution of 1918. Were it not for the Act of Settlement 1701—which disqualified Catholics from inheriting the throne—Franz would be the rightful heir to the English crown, according to the Jacobite line of succession. He regards the matter as just a "charming historical curiosity."

The House of Wittelsbach opposed the Nazi regime in Germany. During the last years of World War II, Franz and his family were held captive as prisoners in concentration camps. About the experience, he stated: "We were prisoners, persecuted, but we were not victims of the Shoah. It wasn't up to us, who returned from exile to Bavaria and our old positions, to see ourselves as victims. But as contemporary witnesses dwindle, I realized it's important to talk about it." After the war, he studied business management at the University of Munich and became a passionate modern art collector.

Franz has been in a romantic relationship with Thomas Greinwald since 1980:

"We came from two different worlds, and the expectations placed on me meant that Thomas was often required to make sacrifices and allowances—much more so on his part than on mine. Especially in the earlier years, this often involved humiliation for him when he was not treated appropriately as my partner. Without his willingness to cope with this, my life and the fulfillment of my commitment would not have been possible."

The couple made their relationship public in 2023. Afterwards, Franz explained the move:

"Tolerance isn't enough. Without actually approving of it, one tolerates the way of life of others just because one is tolerant. That doesn't do justice to the situation; we want things to be a matter of course. Many people don't even dare to think about certain things because they're afraid of the consequences. If I had to define my life goal, it would be fearless thinking, essentially: freedom from fear."

I'm watching a gentleman in Moscow (Ewan McGregor is a talented guy) and trying very very hard to be awake.

One of the roughest parts of being a nurse is when you switch over from night shift to day shift. Which I am attempting to do right now. The older I get the harder this gets.

I am so tired right now. 😅🌚🌝

Ugh. Somebody please point me to Granada/ACD Sherlock Holmes John Watson stories that are NOT asexual, queer platonic or heterosexual.

It can't just be me and four other people. Can it?

Queer platonic my ass. 😂😂😂

*** this is the internet so I should have specified.

1. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with being Ace.

2. I do not buy for one second that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are simply "roommates" and after scrolling through 20 pages on AO3 last night and finding 90% queer platonic, I tapped out and came to Tumblr to ask having nothing to lose at that point. 😂

These characters are interpreted eight ways from Sunday and people very obviously can read and write what they want. I simply have no interest in "roommate syndrome" and I'm seeking alternatives without having to comb through a giant wall of content I'm not interested in.

I'm in favor of writers tooting their own horn in my general direction. ❤️

Ty!
