Woooo I'm back! I was away this weekend at Thought Bubble, a comic convention that is very near and dear to me :D
...And which also happens to be situated across the road from the Harrogate Turkish Baths that were built in the late 1890s, and with our first mention of Turkish Baths about to come up in Letters from Watson, you know what I did with my evening...
As someone who has ever been to a spa or a sauna, I went into it pretty nervous. I was reassured that I knew everyone would be in swimming costumes and there would be attendants on hand to help, but also nervous that I would do something wrong or end up getting a bit overwhelmed by all the sensory stimuli going on (smells! noise! colours! heat! cold!) I was also worried I'd have to take my glasses off, because I was on my own and I have very poor eyesight without them.
But I guess my raging inner history buff that's both interested in late Victorian forms of entertainment and also pretty interested in Roman baths that are a comparable process won out, because I went.
AND I LOVED IT!
I was honestly fizzing with excitement just to be walking around an environment I'm used to seeing in old black and white photographs...
But it was like... REAL!!!
I couldn't take photos in the baths myself because obviously that would be incredibly creepy but please enjoy this picture I took of a logo model in the lobby, and an actual Thomas Crapper toilet, yes I do get excited by silly things
The process of using the baths was all about alternating heat and cold, with three rooms with different heat levels, and a cold plunge pool and showers.
The best thing about it for me is that while there was a recommended sequence to follow, you could pay attention to your own body and just do whatever you wanted to do.
I was surprised how tolerable the hottest room was because it was a really dry heat, but I spent most of my time lounging around in the two lowest heat areas. If I do it again I'm definitely going to bring a book - I wouldn't have thought that was an option, but they actually provided magazines and I saw a fair number of people reading!
I found myself feeling so happy and floppy afterwards. I joked that it felt like I had no bones. In fact it's been nearly 48 hours now and I swear I still feel like a happy puddle.
Anyway as a treat for reading to the end, please enjoy the Sherlock Holmes Turkish Baths illustration that makes the fandom go absolutely feral:

Okay, this also requires a translation, @skyblep 🤓
Eroica: You must be hot. How about taking that that shirt off?
Klaus: I have no intention of doing anything that'd please a pervert.
Eroica: Oh, but you've pleased me plenty enough.
Klaus: Have I?
Eroica: Those strong bare legs that makes you just want to cling onto them... I will burn this image into my eyes, and do as I please with them every night in my dreams.
My shameless king ❤️
Also I appreciate what Aoike did with the bottom right bubble... I see it, and I appreciate it.

Bachelor Groom Party
تهدف حفلات العرسان التي تسبق الزفاف، والمعروفة باسم حفلات توديع العزوبية، إلى الاحتفال بآخر أيام العريس في حياة العزوبية وتعزيز العلاقة بينه وبين أصدقائه قبل أن يتزوج.
وتتمتع مظاهر الاحتفالات هذه بتاريخ طويل يعود إلى العصور القديمة. ورغم أن الأصول الدقيقة لها ليست واضحة تماما، ولكن هناك بعض المراجع التاريخية التي تلقي الضوء على هذا التقليد. في إسبرطة القديمة، على سبيل المثال، كان الجنود يحتفلون ويشربون نخب بعضهم البعض قبل حفل زفاف أحد رفاقهم لتكريمه.
يُعتقد أن مصطلح "العازب" نفسه قد نشأ في أواخر القرن الرابع عشر، في إشارة إلى فارس شاب أو جندي حارس مؤهل حديثًا للحصول على لقب الفروسية.
تتضمن حفلات توديع العزوبية الحديثة عادةً قضاء ليلة في الخارج أو رحلة في عطلة نهاية الأسبوع مع العريس وأصدقائه المقربين، والتي تتضمن أنشطة مثل مشاركة الطعام والشراب والرقص وأحيانًا المقالب أو الألعاب.
وقد تطورت حفلات توديع العزوبية بمرور الوقت ويمكن أن تختلف بشكل كبير من بلد إلى آخر. في الولايات المتحدة، على سبيل المثال، غالبًا ما تكون حفلات توديع العزوبية باهظة الثمن ويمكن أن تتضمن أنشطة مثل استئجار راقصات، أو الذهاب في رحلة إلى لاس فيغاس مدينة السهر واللعب والحفلات، أو المشاركة في الرياضات الخطرة، مثلًا. في المقابل، تفضل بعض البلدان الاحتفالات البسيطة التي تركز على قضاء وقت ممتع مع الأصدقاء والعائلة.
بشكل عام، تعتبر حفلات توديع العزوبية بمثابة طقوس مرور للعريس من عازب إلى زوج، وتوفر له فرصة للاحتفال مع أقرب رفاقه قبل العرس والزواج.
