Today another forgotten Singer the Yugoslav Tenor Tino Pattiera (1890-1966). He was very well known in Dresden and a close friend with Richard Tauber and Elisabeth Rethberg. His voice and his beauty made him to a star by the ladys in Dresden.

Take a look on his biography. Here we see a old photo from 1916.

Don't want to put this on the post itself for risk of derailing it, but that post the other day about Terry Pratchett's early work really stuck in my mind. OP had sent in an ask saying that they heard some of Pratchett's earlier works had problematic elements (not unusual for a male english writer in the 80s) and they weren't sure whether to go ahead with reading the work anyway.

What I really want to ask that person, or indeed all persons who are hesitating over whether or not to read problematic works or works by imperfect authors:

What are you worried about happening, if you read a work with problematic elements?

I'm worried that if I read this art, I will run across hateful images or words that will shock or upset me

I'm worried that I will spend money on a work of art that then financially supports a bad person, and that thought makes me uncomfortable or upset

I'm worried that I will read works of art written by a bad person, and comment or react on them, and other people will see what I am reading and will think less of me because of it, or will assume that I hold the same bad beliefs as the author

I'm worried that I will read works of art written by a bad person, and I will enjoy them, and the author will find out about my enjoyment and feel emboldened to do bad things because of it

I'm worried that I will read works of art written by a bad person, and their badness will contaminate my way of thinking and make me a worse person in turn

Because these are all different answers and some of them are more actionable than others

#salty sunday #for the first: it's up to you whether you want to take that risk but keep in mind you can always stop if you feel discomfort. #this isn't school and nobody is going to require a book report from you on it #for the second: whether the author is even still alive let alone receiving proceeds from the work is something you can check on #if they're a more classic author and their estate/family is still getting proceeds you can decide whether you feel the issues of the author #are something worth punishing their family over #for the third: you can't control what other people think. don't try. #for the fourth: the author is gonna think and do whatever they think and do entirely independent of the response of the audience #assuming they even found out what you think ever which is very unlikely. see above about not being able to control what other people think #for the fifth: moral contamination is not a thing. kick the little fascist voice out of your head. be free

“Oh but listening to mario noises for an hour would be so annoying!”

have you ever played any mario game in your life.

#for gods sake most games don’t have ANY audio dialogue in them (i believe? at least the classics. i didn’t have Nintendo #but my mom has a ton of nostalgia for mario games since she’s a child of the 80s #which is why I’m so adamant about this. my mother deserves a nice mario movie and i REFUSE to let chris ruin that for her. #chances are you’re watching the movie if you liked the games #and if you liked the games then surely you can handle a few sound effects. #honestly I’d take ten hours of mario ‘wahoo’s over a minute of chris pratt’s flavorless character voice. #TLDR the games have multiple hours of JUST mario sound effects w no audio dialogue youll be fine #and also. listening to chris pratt is way more annoying than listening to mario jumping sounds #mario movie #cringe fail chris pratt #🤡.txt

I don't understand the argument of "It would be annoying to listen to Mario's classic voice for an entire film". Like, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, Spongebob, the entire cast of the Muppets, and many, many more characters with over the top/cartoony voices have used said voices for the entirety of feature films or even entire TV shows. Why is Mario any different?

#I've watched scenes of Mickey Mouse mourn his fallen friends in Kingdom Hearts #It would not be hard to watch a silly Illumination film with Mario's classic voice #mario #mario movie

I really like the way Ramona was portrayed, I loved seeing Knives getting so much justice and gaining a healthier relationship with the older characters in comparison to the comics, I love the exes interactions with Ramona.

But even more importantly...

Him.

As always, all my praises go to the gay man ever. Slay you magnificent king.

Right. Apparently I'm supposed to just sit here with the fact that when Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison went back to the studio to record unfinished Lennon's demo post-mortem for the Beatles Anthology, they had to pretend that John just went out for tea or on vacation and left them to finish the recording session cause they kept crying in the studio.

#i mean #lord in heavens #macca said tho the thing that did it was having lennon's voice in their earphones and them playing along with their instruments #like it was just back in the old days and john was only in the other booth over recording the vocals #i have a sweet spot for real love and free as a bird #the beatles #john lennon #paul mccartney #george harrison #ringo starr #mclennon #music #classic rock

Lots of love, Sherlock Holmes

No shit Sherlock

The bag for life debacle

“Lestrade has very kindly sent these on. What she lacks in intelligence and any discernable talent required to be an officer, she’d makes up for in kindness” “She sent these to you for your birthday” “I suspect for two reasons. First, the case makes very little sense to Scotland Yard which isn’t surprising, and second, yes, for my birthday”

John losing it over the cardboard box title

The horse is the fucking masked singer!

#I think lots of love is when I fell in love with this podcast the combination of the crescendoed classical music and absolute a* pettiness #in sherlocks voice was a winning combination #for some reason it’s giving pink glitter pen with kisses underneath and I’m so here for this image #also I don’t think the present thing translates well but the absolute relish when he says ‘yes for my birthday’ is incredible #anyway I binged this in a week and now have to wait a weeks between episodes and I have no clue what I’m going to listen to when I want to #knit my sock rip #sherlock and co #sherlock & co

okay really. what's "augustus" doing here? where'd that third voice come from? the whole web tape plan was about capturing the voices of the archivist and those closest to him and sending them through the portal, and jon and martin were on the tapes the most, but if that's just how the voices were selected then the third voice would be basira (third most appearances) or gertrude (third most read statements). so where'd that voice come from? if the criteria was that it took the voices of the people who were most vital to the apocalypse and the spreading of the fears, then surely we'd have annabelle over martin. so where'd that voice come from? if the three voices are just the three people who died and vanished in the panopticon, then surely that voice would be elias's, jonah's original body got turned to "ashes swept away by the winds of ecstatic terror." how would this program have nicked the voice of a corpse that hadn't spoken in over a century? why would it have done that? what's the reasoning here? Where Did It Come From? hello is anyone hearing meeee.

Erzsebet Bathory- Thematic Character Analysis

I've seen a lot of posts about Erzsebet Bathory, and the general sense is that while her design is cool, she's not very well-developed or impressive from a character standpoint. I agree... Somewhat.

I'm going to get into it below, but the TL;DR version is that from a characterization standpoint, she is weak, but from a thematic standpoint, she is Everything.

Disclaimer: I have not been fortunate enough to play any of the games, so this analysis will focus solely on the show. <3

First, what do vampires mean in storytelling?

A vampire can symbolize many things, but here are the big three: they're a representation of the Other, the unknown (kind of like Frankenstein's Monster), but they can also be a manifestation of carnal, sinful, or deviant desires (think Dorian Grey). The one I'm going to focus on here, as it's the most relevant, is the third main type: the Parasite. Vampires are bloodsucking, gluttonous, selfish starving monsters that consume and consume until there is nothing left (think Robert Baratheon).

This was a theme that was explored in the first series with the Church's opulence and their desire to sacrifice innumerable human lives for the sake of their image and power. Carmilla is the same, but in contention with the Church.

This theme is expanded upon beautifully in Nocturne, with the French Revolution bourgeoise and American colonization and slave trade building upon the themes of the first series. Olrex talks about his home being destroyed, his lover's people being exterminated but holding onto his identity even in undeath. Annette holds onto her Yoruban faith and her Creole heritage taught to her by her mother and fellows even after generations of cultural genocide at the hands of her masters- a combination of more than one old indigenous faith and newer conglomerations of the same. (In this way, one could say that Erzsebet Bathory and Annette are foils!)

How does Erzsebet Bathory fit into this thematically?

Let me explain it like this: Erzsebet Bathory is a white woman dripping in stylized opulence who swallowed an Egyptian god. The truest enemy in this series is colonialism: the consumption of everything and everyone that isn't white and Christian to expand white and Christian ideals and desires using God as a face for their misdeeds- the consumption of people, land, culture, religion, knowledge, kindness. What could not be consumed was destroyed.

In this way, Erzsebet Bathory is the manifestation of all the greatest evils people of color and minorities have ever faced, and continue to face today: that of homogenization, exploitation, and destruction.

The fact that this is expanded by her vampiric elitism builds upon this idea by including all human beings. It's open knowledge among many anthropological circles that colonization destroyed a lot of technology, culture, and knowledge, has held society back, and continues to lead to unnecessary and painful struggle among society (largely due to that fact that many developed nations' governments are still being run by vampires today- how are all my fellow Americans doing as we barrel toward a government shutdown for this very reason?).

Erzsebet Bathory signifies the consumption of the human spirit and the death of mankind, wrapped up in a beautifully terrifying amalgam of every single sin the colonizers ever committed. She's not the ultimate character of Nocturne by a long shot, but she is the ultimate monster.

This is an all too familiar scene.

This time, Jamie is the one with his arms open, holding out his hands, while the Doctor is on the brink of tears.

Their arm movements are even the same. 😢
