The Silt Verses Chapter 38 has arrived! (Well, last night.)

As ever, thank you for listening.

As the government strikes against the disciples of the Paraclete's Gulch, Faulkner seeks refuge and an untraceable hiding place at his old childhood home in the Whisper Plains - but he is not alone there.

Please enjoy, and be aware of the content warnings - this episode contains some distressing scenes and depictions of early-onset dementia and PTSD, loud noises, repeated references to childhood abuse, attempted suicide, and one short allusion to the risk of accidental deadnaming (which does not occur).

This episode features the incredible talents of B. Narr, H.R. Owen, Steve Shell, and Aud Andrews, with additional voices from Shaun Pellington, Sophie Lynch, Marlon Dance-Hooi and Rissa Montanez.

Are there any non-fiction you can recommend for people who are fascinated by your blog (especially the elements of dark eroticism, morbidity and horror)?

🖤 love that you are loving!

i will try to stick to non-fic (also refraining as best i can from re-recommending texts from previous asks but there is of course bound to be some overlap): - The Severed Head: Capital Visions, Julia Kristeva -> read about Aubrey Beardsley's illustrations for Salomé (x, x)

and supplement w Baudelaire's Une Martyre "in which the narrator lovingly contemplates the beauty of a woman's severed head at rest upon a nightstand"

- Masochism: Coldness and Cruelty & Venus in Furs, Deleuze - The Sadeian Woman: And the Ideology of Pornography, Angela Carter - Aesthetic Sexuality: A Literary History of Sadomasochism, Romana Byrne - Perverse Desire and the Ambiguous Icon, Allen S. Weiss - "Must We Burn Sade?", Simone de Beauvoir -> read also about Erzsébet Báthory, the Bloody Countess. supplement your readings with Borowcyzk's Immoral Tales (1973), Julie Delpy's The Countess (2009), Alejandra Pizarnik's La Condesa Sangrienta and/or, if you have the stomach for it:

Lorna's death in Hostel Pt II (2007), inspired by the Countess^

- Anaïs Nin's diaries + Henry and June - Abject Eroticism in Northern Renaissance Art, Yvonne Owens

Hans Baldung Grien "gave powerful visual expression to late medieval tropes and stereotypes, such as the poison maiden, venomous virgin, the Fall of Man, 'death and the maiden' and other motifs and eschatological themes, which mingled abject and erotic qualities in the female body"

- Satanic Feminism: Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-Century Culture, Per Faxneld - The Library of Esoterica's Witchcraft - the biographical Taschen on H.R. Giger's oeuvre—biomechanical, Lovecraftian-tentacular fused limbs, bodies, systems, overtly phallic/yonic symbology, darkly psychedelic... very much fantastically erotic; I have my eye on the 40th Anniversary Edition

Giger, as we know, having designed the xenomorph from the Alien (1979) series to have an intensely sexual evolution:

- DEFINITELY read about+explore ero guro (see also: Bataille's L'histoire de l'œil / Story of the Eye! though it is fiction)

brief introductory articles here and here but it's truly so rich and decadent... delve into it!! film, lit, manga, history, so on... -> watch Nagisa Ōshima's In The Realm Of The Senses (1976) too

- if you can read French by any chance, Le Corps Souillé (The Soiled Body) by Eric Falardeau looks incredible; if not, this excerpt alone is delightfully provocative even in isolation - similarly, L'espirit de plaisir: Une histoire de la sexualité et de l’érotisme au Japon (The Spirit of Pleasure: A History of Sexuality and Eroticism in Japan) by Philippe Pons and Pierre-François Souyri is something I'm hoping might see an English translation

^an excerpt from an interview with the authors

- The Art of Cruelty + The Red Parts, Maggie Nelson - Crucial Interventions: An Illustrated Treatise on the Principles & Practice of Nineteenth-Century Surgery, Richard Barnett - The Butchering Art, Lindsey Fitzharris - Death, Disease and Dissection, Suzie Grogan - The Theatre and Its Double, Antonin Artaud - Men, Women, and Chainsaws, Carol J.

31 Days Idol Challenge - Oliver Riedel

Day 21 - With a Celebrity

For this challenge I chose to go for this old photo by @carlosarenas1971 on Instagram where Rammstein had dinner with H.R. Giger in Gruyères, Switzerland. While the caption said 2002 or 2003, as the photographer is unsure, it could also be from 1999 - in an interview with SonicNet, Till and Schneider told SonicNet that they came to Switzerland in order to meet Giger.

When they were asked if that meant they were looking to collaborate with the artist, they didn't reveal anything though: «That's top secret, sorry. But you will see the result.»

Bonus material: 1) Oliver, Paul, and Schneider with Shagrath and Silenoz from Dimmu Borgir. Unknown photographer. Oliver's jacket is pretty epic. 2-3) I love these two photos with handball player Stefan Kretzschmar. Oliver looks great in both. 4) Oliver smiling broadly at the premiere of xXx in 2002 with Schneider, Till, Vin Diesel, and director Rob Cohen. 5) With Marilyn Manson in 2012, by Max Kohr. 6) From Family Values Tour, by Scott Owen. 7) With Jimmy Kimmel, 2011, by Richard Cartwright. 8) With Scorpions, 2022, unknown photographer.

Podcast of the Day: Monstrous Agonies

Monstrous Agonies by H.R. Owen

The Hook: From werewolves in the doghouse to new ghouls at work, there's no problem too strange for this weekly advice segment, from the UK's only dedicated radio service for the creature community.

Favourite Line: When I referenced 'bridezilla' in the introduction to one of our letters, I spoke unthinkingly, and caused distress and hurt to our listeners in the kaiju community. I sincerely apologise, and take full responsibility for my careless perpetuation of this harmful stereotype. Thank you to everyone who got in touch to bring this to my attention. - Episode 3

Thoughts: Monstrous Agonies is very relaxing listen. H.R. Owens as the Presenter has one of the smoothest voices in the podsphere that's always a joy to hear. They have a brilliant talent for giving the distinctive voices to those writing in for advice.

The show is about people from the creature community writing in for advice about love, relationships, and awkward situations that apply to their unique situations that come from being supernatural beings. Lots of the advice given is very good advice that might cross over to human listeners tuning into the podcast as well.

Episodes are bite-sized with two letters per episode and it's a very easy podcast to fall into for a few hours, especially if you're looking for something positive and soothing.

Seven months ago, a House committee advanced a bill to study reparations for slavery, after more than three decades of efforts to build support for the idea.

But the bill has not been taken up for consideration by the full House of Representatives even though it has the backing of some of the country's most prominent Democrats.

"Since April there has been very little movement on the bill by the leadership in Congress," said Kamm Howard, a national co-chair of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America.

Advocates for reparations are frustrated despite the fact that the proposal faces steep odds of fully passing the closely divided Congress even if the House did take it up.

The bill is H.R. 40, and it gets its name from the unmet promise that former slaves would be given "40 acres and a mule" as the Civil War drew to a close. It would establish a 13-person commission to study the effects of slavery and racial discrimination in the United States, from before the country's finding to present day.

The commission would hold hearings, submit its findings to Congress and recommend "appropriate remedies." It would also consider a "national apology" for the harm caused by slavery.

The bill's original sponsor, the late Democratic Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, first proposed the bill in 1989, and did so year after year for nearly three decades, until he retired in 2017. After that, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas began sponsoring the bill.

"I don't think anyone could argue against the fact that the trajectory of slavery has gone through the centuries, the decades and is in the DNA of descendants of enslaved Africans," Jackson Lee, a Democrat, said in an interview with NPR. "America would do well to try to bring healing and repair, in this time and in this century."

The bill finally gained political traction among Democrats as the country grappled with race and systemic racism and protests sparked by the killings of Black Americans by police flowed through the streets of U.S. cities large and small over the last two years.

Republicans oppose reparations. Democrats say even studying them has value

The bill has nearly 200 co-sponsors in the House, including members of House Democratic leadership. But it is widely opposed by Republicans and was advanced by the House Judiciary Committee in April with only Democratic votes.

Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Committee's top Republican, argued that because the committee's members would be appointed by the president, the House speaker and the Senate pro tempore, who are currently all Democrats, the commission would obviously come to a conclusion in support of reparations.

"Spend $20 million for a commission that's already decided to take money from people who were never involved in the evil of slavery and give it to people who were never subject to the evil of slavery," Jordan said during the hearing on the bill. "That's what Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are doing."

Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah, one of two Black Republicans currently serving in the House, said that the concept of reparations is "divisive."

"Reparation where you take people's money that they've earned — it's punishment, it's theft, it's judgement," he said in the hearing. "It's saying that because of your skin color, you owe me. That is not the American way. We're not racist people. This American country is based on meritocracy."

Jackson Lee says arguments like this miss the point. The bill does not prescribe what form reparations should take, a question that is a point of debate among supporters of reparations for slavery.

"It is not the study of getting a check. It is not giving you a check. It is not the bill on a check," Jackson Lee said. "It is to study slavery and develop reparations proposals, which would create, first of all, the platform for understanding."

Rep. Jamaal Bowman talked about reparations frequently when he campaigned for his New York congressional seat.

"We haven't taken a moment to stop and pause and reflect and look ourselves in the mirror as a country and really be honest with ourselves about how those harms continue to persist," Bowman said.

A group of advocates has been pushing Democrats to bring the bill up for a vote, arguing that it is deeply popular.

"We are working diligently to basically get them all in a room with us and tell us directly how we can move this bill forward," said Nicole Austin-Hillery of Human Rights Watch, one of the advocates calling for a meeting with House leaders. "They have the power to do it, and we're imploring them to do so."

Some argue that House leadership has yet to bring the bill up for a vote because they fear a backlash among voters. Democrats are coming off of a series of bruising off-year elections that featured fresh Republican attacks on race and culture. In next year's midterms, Democrats will be defending incredibly slim majorities.

"The Democratic leaders are saying that they are scared if they move this legislation today, that it will hurt their chances of keeping control of the Congress," said Howard.

Advocates are urging Biden to act without Congress

A senior Democratic aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the status of pending legislation, said that conversations about the legislation are ongoing, and that Democratic leadership and the White House are working together on the path forward. The aide said that equity is a central priority of the party.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a co-sponsor of the bill, told reporters earlier this year that he hopes that President Biden considers establishing a commission similar to the one called for in H.R. 40 using executive authority, noting that the chances of the bill passing the Senate "are pretty dim." In the evenly divided Senate, legislation requires 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. A Senate companion bill, sponsored by Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, has just 22 co-sponsors, with no Republicans.

The idea of Biden establishing a commission on his own has also won the support of some activists, including the Rev. Mark Thompson.

"What sets H.R. 40 apart from all of those other pieces of legislation that 'Manchinema' are blocking, is this" he said — using a compound reference to moderate Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. "H.R 40 is the only one ... that Biden can sign and enact by executive order."

The White House hasn't said whether Biden would consider creating a commission on his own.

"He supports a number of components of the bill, including the funding and the proposal for a study, which he feels would be the next important step forward and something that he feels would be absolutely correct in addressing ... these moments in history," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in June.

Jackson Lee said she's focused on the legislative process and still hopes to get a "successful result" in the House, but said that there's a "great deal of power in the White House and in the presidency."

"I think there is certainly a sufficient body of people that would give President Biden a standing ovation if that was the direction that we needed to take," she said.

[booklovershouse]

Oieeee, booklovers!

A intenção desse post era só sobre meus personagens favoritos de livros, maaaaas acabei decidindo colocar os personagens de outras coisas tbm - pq eu provavelmente ia fazer um TCC sobre o Sherlock e o Rodrigo 🤡👍🏻

🃏| Chapeleiro Maluco

Acho que não preciso nem dizer de onde ele é - já vi de tudo nessa vida mas espero que as pessoas ao menos saibam isso.

Bem, quando me refiro ao "Chapeleiro", não me refiro apenas ao Chapeleiro do live action de Alice, mas sim de TODAS as versões do Chapeleiro que já conheci - o Jeff de Once Upon a Time, o do livro da Alice e o Hatta de Sem Coração.

Sim, cada um tem uma personalidade diferente, mas eu tenho mais apego ao personagem em si do que a forma que ele é representado, dependendo do autor. Em resumo, gosto do Chapeleiro Maluco pq ele é...✨maluco✨ ~ explicação meio besta mas é isso mesmo.

🛷| Rudy Steiner - A Menina que Roubava Livros

Aqui também não me refiro a nenhum Rudy específico - gosto tanto do livro quanto do filme -, apesar de que no filme a gente consegue visualizar melhor a vibe de "menino atentado" que o nosso querido de cabelos cor de limão tem kkkk

Além de super persistente e ficar no pé da Liesel querendo um beijo, ele passou um bom tempo fissurado em corridas - tanto que até se pintou pra ficar igual ao Jesse Owens - e, é claro, foi o melhor amigo que uma garota como Liesel Meminger poderia ter.

Queria um Rudy Steiner na minha vida kkkkk

👒| Rosemary LeVeaux - Quando Chama o Coração

Eu sei. Todo mundo odiou ela quando chegou, inclusive eu. Mas depois a Rosemary foi conquistando a gente com seu jeitinho insistente e animado (demais) de ser. Sinceramente, depois da 4°/5° temporada, ela vem levando a série inteira nas costas.

A Rose é engraçada, dá bons conselhos, se mete onde não é chamada e faz a gente rir pra caramba. Ela é uma pessoa super simpática e forte ao mesmo tempo.

📰| Enola Holmes - Enola Holmes (🤡)

Nesse caso, eu me refiro a do filme, com toda certeza do mundo - odiei a Enola do livro, ela passa 90% do tempo dizendo que é a vergonha da família e não faz nada de muito incrível.

A Enola do filme é corajosa, inteligente, persistente e um pouquíssimo "sarcástica". Não é exatamente "sarcasmo", tá mais pra "senso de humor parecido com o do Sherlock", mas enfim, vocês entenderam o que eu quis dizer.

💕| Yuna - Omoi Omoware Furi Furare

Primeiramente, devo dizer que gosto muito da Yuna pq ela é a única personagem até hoje que me representa 99,9% - só não dá pra se parecer mais cmg pq temos gostos meio diferentes.

Ao msm tempo que é calada e uma romântica de carteirinha, a Yuna é muito criativa e luta pelo que acredita. Ela evoluiu muito desde o começo do filme/mangá pq mal conseguia olhar na cara das pessoas quando estavam falando com ela e depois passou a conversar com os outros normalmente.

🧪| Harrisson Wells - The Flash

Quando falo em Harrisson Wells, me refiro a todos os Wells até a 4ª temporada - q foi até onde assisti -, mas para ser sincera mesmo, desses três, meu preferido é o primeiro. Na real, a primeira temporada de The Flash é a melhor de todas, as cenas pós-créditos foram o auge do meu surto kkkk sinto saudade delas 🥲

O Dr. Wells é o básico né: um ✨ gênio ✨ Ele me passa uma vibe MUITO Sherlock, sério. O Harry é mais ou menos a mesma coisa, só que com um sarcasmo e falta de senso de humor adicionais - isso sem contar a parte "pai superprotetor". O H.R. é pra me representar assistindo The Flash kkkkkk só pode.

🎥| Cisco Ramon - The Flash

Uma das maiores coisas que amo no Cisco - e que me fez colocar esse emoji - é a forma como ele solta referências a filmes/séries do nada kkkkkk

O Cisco é totalmente sunshine, aquele personagem que você se apega mesmo, tem vontade de guardar num potinho e sabe que se ele morrer, você morre junto. Ele é engraçado, inteligente e um "super frieeeeend" - qm pegou, pegou, qm não pegou, já era.

🔍| Sally Allison - Os Mistérios de Aurora Teagarden

Eu amo esses filmes e amo a Aurora, mas a Sally é minha personagem preferida depois do Martin. Além de ser uma repórter curiosa, é aquela pessoa que tá no meio da confusão só pq a amiga chamou.

Infelizmente, não tem muito o que falar sobre ela, já que é uma saga de filmes e, como personagem secundária, ela não tem um grande desenvolvimento.

💐| E vc? Quais são seus personagens preferidos?

Bjs e boas leituras <33
