Beware, the Siren!

I’m abnormal about all of this.

These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.

so far this week I've tried to make my ancestors proud by means of:

being weird to a cop

Eating a big sandwich

titties; I won't elaborate

COULD BE WORSE I HOPE

[illuminaughti-online]

I also told someone at work that what they wanted me to build looked like the Roman sculpture (presumed a copy of a Greek bronze) that is most popularly known as "The Dying Gaul" and nobody knew what I meant - again these are my dead ancestors - they got torcs and shit - please honor their sexy sacrifice by knowing the sculpture

This week at work, I subjected coworkers to history lectures without their consent including but not limited to the history of the letter J and the history of men's underwear in Europe (or the lack thereof amirite). I am underpaid, and therefore I intend to make everyone around me a captive audience as a form of enrichment until conditions improve. Also, an old-timer on the train thanked me for being beautiful, so I'm gonna take that to the bank.

I’ll be doing a series of Universal Monsters pictures. The classic Universal horror library contains many of my favorite movies ever. I’ll post these guys in order of release, starting with the original 3 - The Phantom of the Opera played by Lon Chaney, Sr., Dracula played by Bela Lugosi, and Frankenstein’s monster played by Boris Karloff. More are on the way!

[manicmadhouse]

Phantom of the Opera by David Hartman. We need a gothic horror film with this look and on par with Bram Stoker’s Dracula

The Roses of Yesterday: Chapter Eight

The princeling took in a deep breath. “I suppose I should say this to you now: when we’ve arrived in Tehran, they will expect you to perform unmasked, if not to be outright introduced to them as such. As an assurance for the safety and security of the Shah and the court, certainly, but also for the sake of satisfying his curiosity.”

There it was—the old familiar hostility always looming around the corner, falling upon everything like eventual rain.

“I expected nothing less.” It seemed, in the quiet which followed, that the crumbling luxury of his cabin—the Caspian itself—dissolved entirely beneath their feet in moments. The loamy waves breaking against the rocks, the magnificent gradient where the sea gave way to setting sun, which in turn gave way to starfall. All were robbed of their beauty as each second ticked by, until both men were left to linger in nothing more than cold, dark truth: that his ugliness was the only reason they shared the same air. He gasped, suddenly overwhelmed, and tapped his fingers against his chest. “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because I am afraid that once we reach Tehran, you will have little say in how you present yourself to the Shah and his family. And because if you were to change your mind when we’ve docked, there would be nothing binding your dignity to their whims and humors.”

“Dignity! How funny you should speak of dignity to me now, princeling, with hundreds of miles between us and Novgorod. Did you originally plan on telling me this before we set out on our journey? Or were you waiting for me to learn this the moment I am to meet this king of yours? Why now?”

“Because”—was it the death throes of the dusk or did the princeling appear to smile again—”I had taken you for a charlatan then. One of extraordinary gifts, but a charlatan nonetheless, and one who must pay his respects and understand his place in society. But I’m beginning to wonder if you aren’t much, much more.”

Erik always has been just a bit of a mansplainer, he kind of can’t help it.
