• On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife are assassinated. This is the match in the powder keg that ignites World War I.

• Soldiers living and dying in horrific conditions and in close proximity to one another means that diseases spread very quickly.

• One German soldier in particular contracts jaundice and is removed from the battlefield. This soldier is Conrad Veidt.

• Veidt is permitted to act in the army theatre until his condition improves and he is fit to return to battle.

• In 1917 he is deemed unfit to serve and is discharged from the German army.

• Conrad Veidt returns to the theatre and goes on to have an illustrious career on both stage and screen, gaining stardom by playing major roles in pictures such as Different From the Others (1919), the first pro-gay film known to exist, with Veidt as the lead; and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), widely regarded to be the first true horror film, with Veidt as a major antagonist under the villain’s control. He is one of few silent film stars whose careers last through the advent of sound.

• In the late 1920s, Veidt travels to the United States to star in a few films for Universal Pictures. One of these films is The Man Who Laughs (1928), in which he plays Gwynplaine, the titular Laughing Man, who was surgically disfigured as a child to set his mouth in a permanent grin. This film is adapted from Victor Hugo’s 1869 novel, L’Homme qui rit.

• On April 25, 1940, the Joker makes his first appearance in the debut issue of the comic book Batman. It is generally accepted that the visual design of the Joker is based directly on Conrad Veidt’s appearance as Gwynplaine in The Man Who Laughs (1928). This is supported by the Joker’s creators, although their accounts of the Joker’s creation differ.

• The Joker goes on to become one of the most popular characters of all time, joining the ranks of characters of myth, legend, literature, and modern media whose stories will likely be retold and remembered until the sands of time have buried the bones of humanity forever.

• Enter tumblr user @the-muppet-joker (aka Croaker), who not only kins (mainly) the Joker and Kermit the Frog, but is also in a relationship with both of them.

• Tumblr user and YouTuber @strange-aeons makes a video delving into the twisted mind (and blog) of the Croaker.

• Croaker is angered by this, and so they schedule a duel to the death at @dashcon-two.

• They duel. Strange emerges victorious and is knighted by the Ball Pit Queen. Croaker dies and the funeral process is speedrunned with a heartfelt rendition of “Man or Muppet” performed by The Musical InterDudes. The singers held signs with individual letters spelling “KUNG POW PENIS”.

TL,DR: The Croaker owes his existence to jaundice and the 1914 assassination of an Austro-Hungarian noble.

And also Victor Hugo.

The Hand – Annabelle Dinda

Every time a guy writes a song, he's a cowboy, a sailor Playing with the world in his palm like the first pioneer. Every time he opens his mouth, it's a loud movie trailer Clipping every image and sound he thinks proves he was here. A hand, a spike, a physical fight, A flash of light, a curtain, A toll, a tithe, the passage of time, A height, a dive, a burden, A girl, a night, a typical type, A siren in the water, A scroll, a nod, a message from God, A son, a Holy Father. Every time a guy writes a song, he's a sailor, a cowboy Holding out the world in his palm like he made it himself. Every time I open my mouth, I think, "Wow, what a loud noise!" Still on the soapbox, just hoping I seem underwhelmed. The hand, the pen, the writing again, The Wind around the Willow, The felt, the ice, the passage of time, The melting down the window, The ‘now’, the ‘then’, the thinking of "when", The bottle in the ocean, The strike, the pause, the message from - God forbid she shows emotion. This isn't rage, it's worth a mention. This is a fake internal tension. Sometimes, I spread out one opinion And stand on its back to gauge attention. This isn't rage, it's too specific. I like to hate symbolic limits. This is no statement, I'm complicit. This is a dream, GOD put me in it. A hand, a spike, a physical fight, The Wind around the Willow, A toll, a tithe, the passage of time, The melting down the window, The now, the then, the thinking of "when", The siren in the water, The strike, the pause, a message from God. Does that make me His daughter? A hand, a shove, a valley, a jump, A score under the wire, Just sweep me up, just sweep me up And take me somewhere higher, Just sweep me up, just sweep me up And take me somewhere higher, Just sweep me up, just sweep me up And take me somewhere higher.

I feel like I just had a religious experience

#i can feel this. unfortunately. changing my brain chemistry #hhhhhhhh #god i love this song in a very hurtful way #makes me want to scream #in a good way #like yes someone fucking put to words smth i've been feeling for forever #god what a loud noise #but.#ffs #i feel vulnerable and caught and exposed in a way that doesn't feel great #the irony of it all is that. people are saying this was a religious experience for them #such big feelings shouted from the aforementioned soapbox #even still. we all feel the frustration she sings about. but it STILL has to be likened to a message from god in order to justify #these feelings. this frustration we all share #why can't we just be frustrated?#a man writes smth similar and it's his. its normal. its original.#a woman or a femme presenting person writes smth like this and “she's carrying the weight of generations of feminine rage”#as if that importance is needed to justify her feelings.#instead of just treating them. normally.#i have thoughts #to me this song highlights the very same problem she's pointing out and singing about. because we #the listener #contribute to the feeling of soapboxness. loudness. noisiness. religiousness. IMPORTANCE. that she's singing about #as if we didn't even hear what she was saying at all #maybe i'm getting too meta. but. smth to think about #anyways this is still sick as fuck

"capitalism breeds innovation" was only ever true in the mid-2000s when cell phones kept getting more and more fucked up

^ healthy and diverse breeding practices

^ wild inbreeding in pursuit of uniformity and an arbitrary ideal of breed "purity" resulting in gross health complications

you ever take a uquiz and realize halfway through that you don’t respect the author and their opinion is useless to you

hollowboobtheory

haven’t seen a ton of uquizzes floating around since this broke containment. feeling kinda bad about it tbh.

to be clear the specific question that prompted this was NOT a Taylor swift lyric question it was “are you proship or anti” and it didn’t have an option for “this false dichotomy flattens a wide breadth of issues into a meaningless red vs blue slapfight and makes nuanced discussions of media criticism all but impossible”

hollowboobtheory

I get that the ship has kinda sailed but if we could reblog this version. I think it’s fine for kids to be cringe online. builds character.
