it's so cute to me that gift wrapping is an ancient human custom. for thousands of years we have ceremonially made nice little bundles to present to each other, and we have decorated them and ensured that they're neat and careful to communicate the care with which we think of the recipient. and for thousands of years we have been made curious by the concealment of the gift, and been surprised and delighted by the act of uncovering what's inside. we are such simple creatures. we are so thoughtful. we are so cute.
I learned this by googling the historical accuracy of a line in a porn game i'm editing. anyway,
writing porn is also an ancient human custom
one time a casual hockey fan tried to convey this experience to me from the other side as: "it's like... okay, imagine that you like donuts, and you meet a guy who also likes donuts, and you're like, hey, cool, we both like donuts! but this guy... he built his house out of donuts"
so now when I trip into a new fandom I'm like "oh shit I'm building this house out of donuts"

[ID: A digital painting of John Doe and Arthur Lester, from the podcast Malevolent. Arthur is a skinny white male with brown, overgrown hair and golden-rimmed eyes. John appears as a humanoid shadow with claws, yellow eyes, and a hood, with three floating golden points that resemble horns or a crown. Arthur appears resigned and exhausted, but tears pour from his eyes, catching golden light as they fall. John appears behind him in an embrace, using his control of Arthur's left hand to bring his arm over his chest and holding his right shoulder. John's right arm wraps around Arthur's middle, semi-transparent as the rest of him. Arthur gently holds John's hand with his own right hand. The entire painting is in low purple-ish lighting, with a papery overlay. The gold is saturated and striking. End ID]

I bet in the 20s all the weird German emo girls were thirsting after the Somnambulist

German emo girls be like “ich will 😍🥺”
Don’t hide this magnificent piece of info in the tags.
The bloke (Conrad Veidt) was an outspoken opponent of antisemitism, and when he refused to divorce his wife (who was Jewish), Joseph Goebbels had him blacklisted.
He also donated tons and tons of money to poor children who had been negatively effected by the Blitz in London after he moved to the US, following his becoming a naturalised-British citizen after leaving Germany in the 1930s.

Don’t forget that in 1919, he starred in “Different from the Others”, a German film protesting the anti-homosexuality laws in place. It’s widely regarded as the first pro-gay film. Conrad Veidt was a goddamn hero.
I just feel like this pic is relevant to the discussion
He was also the highest paid member of the cast in “Casablanca” (where he played a Nazi officer, again), even if he only got second billing, because he was THAT big a star.
He and his first wife divorced after… well she said it better than I ever could.
“I excused a lot of his failings and whims because I loved him. But one day he did something to me that I couldn’t forgive. I was singing that evening at the cabaret. I left him home and he told me: “I invited a few friends; we’ll dine while we wait for you.” And it just so happened I had received a new dress from Paris. That evening, after work, I arrived home and what do I see? All these gentlemen dressed as women. And Conrad had put on my Paris dress. At this point, I divorced!”
And as Anita Loos put it
“Any Berlin lady of the night might turn out to be a man; the prettiest girl on the street was Konrad [sic] Veidt.”
Good to see the tumblr sexyman precludes even tumblr
It’s important to mention, I think, that he served in WWI on the Eastern front. He became I’ll in the trenches and while recovering joined up with the theater his girlfriend worked for, and spent his recuperation putting on plays for the troops.
He also believed in spiritualism and thought that he himself was a medium.
He was sexy man, Betty Grable, and Alistair Crowley all at once. So…no wonder tumblr likes him so much.
dovewithscales
I was unaware of his existence until just now but this is amazing.
However since Crowley was an antisemitic malicious selfish bastard I’d have to say he was the opposite of Crowley.
Fair point. Didn’t know much about Crowley, just that he invented tarot cards and popularized them. I personally stay well away from all of that nonsense. Alright, let’s amend it to a benevolent psychic witch or something. As you like it.
Veidt’s role as Grand Vizier Jafar in “The Thief of Baghdad” (1940) was the inspiration for Disney’s version in the animated “Aladdin”.
His makeup as Gwynplaine in “The Man Who Laughs” (1928) was the inspiration for The Joker.
And his role as Cesare The Somnambulist in “The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari” (1919) was the inspiration for Tim Burton’s…
Well, look at him.
Since John is a fragment of a god you would assume that he has at least one cool godly ability. He does not. All he does is yell “go Arthur go” and describe dead bodies in detail. If Arthur wasn’t blind, John would be so completely useless except for sometimes being an emotional support entity when his BFF gets a panic attack. Arthur is walking around with the King in Yellow’s appendix and refuses to give it back.
"You know what it's like when you don't know anything at all, and yet you're totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person."
