#and that was grandpa richard

[libraford]

My dad is going through grandmas old photos that she swore one day she'd organize but never did, and he tells me that hes only keeping 'the important ones.'

"The picture of me n' John n' tim n' michael. And your grandpa and the like. I'm not keeping pictures of cats or the ones of where Grandpa saw a buffalo once."

And listen I am rarely mad at my dad because hes got the best of intentions but...

When I was hlgoing through my other grandmas photos in 2021, I kept EVERY picture of a cat or dog and do you want to know why?

It was 1918, cameras were a luxury to have, film was expensive to develop, and you didnt want to waste film on something pointless and they

STILL

Took pictures of their pets.

"I have a cat. Please let me show you my cat" is a human quality that transcends generations. Before photos, we painted portraits of our companion animals on various surfaces and we will continue to do this til the end of time.

Great great great aunt Ida wanted you to know she had a fluffy little white cat with little black spots and a little black mustache and I think we should hear her out.

#as for the buffalo #mind you its not a picture of buffalo #its a picture of where he once saw a buffalo #grandpa often pointed out places where he once saw things #and he took pictures of those places so you could imagine seeing tge buffalo there like he did #when he switched to video #he would take video of flowers #and say #what a pretty flower #and hold the camera there for a few minutes so you could appreciate it with him #and that was grandpa richard #so i think it would be nice just to keep a few #so we can appreciate what he thought was beautiful or memorable #because all he wanted to do #was share it with people he loved

"Rammstein look old now :((("

Look at me. Listen. It's good that they look like they're pushing 60. Do you know why? Because they're pushing 60. Let's not mourn that six men in their late 50s don't look 25 anymore when we could be celebrating (and drooling, ngl) over how they look now 💜

Aging is a privilege and a miracle and it is beautiful.

Julian Morrow: ''Honesty Is A Dangerous Virtue''

Julian's class is a cult, no getting around that—He's selective about his student because he wants to wade out the vulnerable from the resilient and questioning: And of course, Julian has a God complex (But that goes without saying, now doesn't it?) An Example—When Julian addresses Richard by ''Pepin'' It's on purpose, him testing to see if Richard would be the sort to push back or not, well he hadn't, had he? And reaching our scenes conclusion, it's back to ''Papen'' again; Julian had gotten the proof he needed.

Julian was a teacher given leniency due to his heavy donations, Hampton College was desperate for donation (As many University would be/are) So what if he was a tad odd in his practices? His reputation was undeniably accredited, and he'd hardly been doing anything illegal—And I mean, education around cults wasn't exactly booming at the time was it?

So yes, the College ignores the fact Julian shouldn't be allowed to teach, despite him 1) Purposely isolating his students 2) Accepts them based on their world views/what materials they've read, and what their own ideologies are—Along with 3) Accepting them based on their wealth and how Isolated they'd been—It's all brushed under the rug of academics.

The class is so obsessed with upholding this particular image of refinement that—they do not seem to notice that, just how they condescend everyone else around themselves, Julian had done the very same to them, the entire time.

If you listen to Donna Tartts audio books, Julian's tone of voice is even more so noticeable—He feigns astonishment and wonder to the point of a waxy quality, and within our very first greeting there it is: When he initially rejected Richard, he really is sorry that he couldn't possibly accept him into his class; It meant this young man would miss out on Julian's godly guidance, something truly extravagant—How egotistical is that? Julian comes of as flattering to whom ever he is faced with, but said flattery is used to bolster himself up each time.

You know—He was far more apologetic about Richard ''not being able to join his class'' Than he ever were about Bunny's abrupt passing.

Julian is just a bored old man who longed for his youth (-To be something it hadn't? Perhaps?) To regain the power he once had in his early adulthood. He grew up isolated himself, I think that's quite clear—He's less akin to Henry and more so Richard in this case, as he wished to flip his trauma into something bewitching threw fictionizing himself. Really he should've majored in the Dramatics considering how eager he is for excitement—That Bacchanal never would've happened without himself, and when Henry had brought it up he had the perfect opportunity to stop the situation before it started, but he didn't.

He knew it would be a sex ritual with dangerous dinking and drug use (Their young adults, going overboard is to be expected and they did didn't they.) Yet he still wanted it to happen.

Bunny's own quote sums up Julian well enough: ''Julian is like one of those people that'll pick all his favourite chocolates out of the box and leave the rest''

I found Julian particularly disgusting because he knew what power he held over these vulnerable individuals, and really considering this fandoms leniency towards ''Doing it for the Aesthetic'' It seems to me he's fooled many of us—It's why I sometimes like respond to tsh posts with ''Your parents didn't love you, did they?'' Because really, for someone to thirst for poison they must've been parched for years—Because like many abusers do, Julian made a silent promise: To feel the true terror at the face of our own thirst for beauty.

#the secret history #richard papen #henry winter #On a less profound note #my friend referred to him as ''gnome grandpa'' #I will never be the same. #I know this post isnt that great #but I needed to keep my notes somewhere! #besides Henrys post is more interesting to work on #dark academia #tsh analysis

I WILL CONTINUE SEXUALISING THESE SLUTTY GERMAN GRANDADS!

Not sure if you should do that 👀

I mean they're so tame and just little old men. Just leave them alone with your impure and sexual thoughts 😤 They just do their silly little things in stage 🥺 Like having fun with each other in various ways 😊

Really, I have no idea why people impose such ideas on them 😞 Always remember, say no to sexualising the sex band ☝️

#rammstein #for legal reasons this all is a joke #go on and sexualise the grandpas all you want #well #yes i had to include Richard in the end for obvious reasons #because i partake in this heinous practice of sexualising men as old as my dad

“I don’t have a - what do you call it? - machine thing [computer]... I don't have a mobile phone, either... a) I don’t need one and b) I've got no interest, really. I mean, I must admit I'm a bit of a charlatan when it comes to the mobile, because I'll often say - to Mick, for example - "Can I borrow your phone?" But I don't actually possess one of my own. Nor does Keith, by the way, who doesn't use a telephone at all. Very rarely. He very rarely rings anyone. He faxes people. He writes the best faxes in the world, but he's not a telephone man.”

Charlie Watts, 2010

#adorable rock star Luddite grandpas #It’s also so funny that Keith’s method of communication #means everyone else could throw out their fax machines by that point #I’m sure Charlie didn’t care #but it probably drove Mick insane #mick also being the one who bought Charlie a laptop and multiple iPads over the years. all for watching cricket together #the rolling stones #charlie watts #keith richards #old married band #mick jagger #quote

Real Richard Feynman fans look for him in every scene of Oppenheimer and get overly excited every time he's just a silly little guy playing the bongos

#i really expected more of him in it though #but he got to be a silly little guy and that's good enough #he also worked with my grandpa (a Chinese American physicist) so I'm biased #richard feynman #oppenheimer

it's kind of bittersweet looking back on emily and richard's conversation the night they invited logan for dinner for the first time. richard talking about buying a place for the extended family in martha's vineyard or cape cod, presumably meaning rory's children. then emily talking about how much children love sandy beaches and to imagine rory's blue eyes and logan's blond hair on a baby running on a beach. it kind of all comes true, rory and logan do end up having a child, rory lorelai and luke end up visiting emily at cape code every summer as part of lorelai's new deal with emily. all except richard doesn't get to see any of it. it all makes richard's excitement that night heartbreaking.

#i wish richard got to meet rory's baby to spoil them #he would've been a great grandpa #gilmore girls
