Yes. And the ropes.
So worth mentioning again. When does this movie come out, because I have to put it down in pen.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
This is shopped, right? That can't actually happen.
Clearly at some point, probably when I wasn't paying attention, I was a very good girl who deserved nice things.
Thank you.
Good god, he's wearing a collar.
Wait, what? I guess I should look again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Consuela, I hope your mom gets fixed up and you get out of there soon.
I have been completely sedentary today, because I spent a bunch of it on a plane. And bonus eating of tons of crap! Ah well.

Our wings are not tired.
Consuela, this is an incredibly long day for you. I hope it ends soon.
This. I am upset that I can't go cook for you or something to ease some of the burden. But I am in a codeine haze and probably shouldn't drive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You're the bondage expert here. Jilli reached out to her resources, and now I think it's time for you to tap yours.
Okay, I started by Googling "BDSM late 1800s," which gave me an Amazon listing for something titled "Classic Images of BDSM (Classic Images of Sex and Erotica)." It's described as "A collection of BDSM images from the late 1800s to the early 1900s."
I am not making the following up and I am providing a link: where it says what customers ultimately bought after viewing that item, it says that 8% bought (or downloaded for free) the Kindle version of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I couldn't make that up if I tried: [link]
Okay, back to research. I'm taking a bullet for alla y'all.
Good god, he's wearing a collar.
Wait, what? I guess I should look again.
It looks exceedingly well-made (possibly padded) and the D-ring is WAY too shiny. That's my problem with it. I would expect it to be more worn. It's not like Mr. S Leather existed in late 1800s London.

I found vibrators (really primitive ones) and dildos that go that far back, and farther, so a collar wouldn't surprise me. The stainless D-ring is an oversight I'm willing to forgive.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Steph, your research is a thing of beauty.
Consuela, sending good thoughts to your mom. I hope she gets out of the ER soon.

Yeah, it's not that there *is* a collar; it's just that *that one* looks like it was bought the day before at a 21st-century leather shop. But even in the late 1800s, at some point everything was new, so maybe it was just newly made. It just looks too...nice. Also, the shiny ring throws me. (The rope, however? Nicely chosen and nicely tied. Really.)
What would REALLY help is if I had a larger picture. For the greater good. You understand.
