pathologic but it's a lost 1920s german expressionist film [id under cut]

[id:

image 1: a digital drawing of a fake poster, using bright colours and rough, painterly brushstrokes. the title, 'pest' (german for 'plague'), is written at the top in spiky black text. in the foreground a man dressed as a tragedian is staring intently at the viewer, his hands raised and splayed as if in horror. in the background, the town is framed against a red sky, with the polyhedron in yellow behind.

images 2 and 3: fake casting sheets for the film, with the names of the actors and the characters they are playing above a black-and-white portrait photograph of them. all the text is in german. in english it reads: 'Pest', a film by Robert Wiene Alfred Abel as Victor Kain Ernst Busch as Grief Lil Dagover as Katerina Saburova Ernst Deutsch as the Bachelor Carl de Vogt as Vlad the Younger Marlene Dietrich as the Inquisitor Willy Fritsch as Mark Immortell Alexander Granach as Andrey and Peter Stamatin Bernhard Goetzke as General Block Dolly Haas as the Changeling Ludwig Hartau as the Haruspex Brigitte Helm as Anna Angel Brigitte Horney as Maria Kaina Emil Jannings as Big Vlad Gerda Maurus as Yulia Lyuricheva Lothar Menhert as Georgiy Kain Asta Nielsen as Lara Ravel Ossi Oswalda as Eva Yan Fritz Rasp as Stanislas Rubin Conrad Veidt as Alexander Saburov and Tragedian Paul Wegener as Oyun Gertrud Welcker as Aspity

image 4: four digital sketches of set designs for various locations. all are strongly influenced by expressionist imagery, using extreme angles, warped perspective, and dramatic shapes. they are labelled 'street 1' (a street lined with houses), 'street 2' (a square with a lamppost and a set of steps), 'polyhedron exterior' (the polyhedron walkway), and 'cathedral interior' (the dais at the far end of the cathedral).

image 5: four digital drawings in a black-and-white watercolour style, showing fake stills from the film. all are similarly distorted and lit by dramatic lighting. the first shows katerina's bedroom, with katerina standing in the centre of the floor. the second shows the interior of an infected house. the third shows daniil staring out of the frame in horror, one hand on his head and the other raised as if to ward something off. the fourth shows an intertitle with jagged white text reading 'the first day' against a dark background.

#pathologic #artwork #conrad veidt #(i know there are many other actors but i dont have tags for them my bad) #anyway :D this has been my brain project for the past week or so i have been thinking about it so much #i have so many more things i want to draw for it but i am trying to hold myself back. for the sake of my Wrists #also obviously the cast list is way whiter than it should be for pathologic but german expressionist cinema was not particularly diverse an #i was trying to go for realism so apologies for that #i had so much fun with these i dont normally draw locations because i prefer drawing people but i found it so much more enjoyable #when i could mess around with the perspective and make stuff look wacky. thank you expressionism i love you expressionism #also it goes without saying that i was most heavily inspired by the cabinet of dr caligari (which is why i went with robert wiene. he would #do such a great job i think) #i hope you are all well my friends :D kiss you

No bc we’re rlly not ready for drum island in opla

#everyone keeps talking ab how silly chopper may look #which . I think they’re gonna do a great job #anyways let’s talk ab the insannnneeeeeee moments !!!!!! #luffy climbing up the mountain w his bare hands !!!!!!!! choppers backstory !!!!!!!! THE FLAGGGGGGG #DRUM ISLAND IS GOATED Y’ALL #one piece

[gayspacemonk]

the thing is, the "I would eat my arms and legs for zoro" scene wasn't just for shits and giggles. yes, it was to show just how devoted luffy is to his friends, but it also shows how he's naturally an great captain that he immediately understands zeff and says without hesitation "oh yeah I would do that and beyond for my crew"

#zolu #it's the small things #i really like how luffy was portrayed in the live action i could talk about it for hours #i know it's different from his portrayal in the anime but also i think it kinda had to be this way #like in anime an constantly high energy character such as luffy works just fine but in live action it doesn't make much sense #anyway i think iñaki did a great job and on that stance i do not accept different opinions i will fight you #opla #one piece #one piece live action #also bc hes madly in love w zoro but we all knew that already

AU where Phoenix is a drama teacher and Edgeworth is an English teacher and they’re both really weird about Shakespeare

Or

drama teacher!Phoenix and dance teacher! Edgeworth have to work together for a high school play without trying to kill each other (it gets real fuckin close)

#I’ve seen Phoenix as an art teacher which is great but that guy would make an excellent drama teacher #he’s so silly #the essence of narumitsu is giving these guys essentially the same job but keeping them as petty haters #also I feel like only the gayest people are drama and English teachers #anyway every AU where phoenix is doing theater stuff is my favorite #I think that he and Trucy would bond over being performers and I kinda want to have fun with it rather than be sad with it #I think they should join a community theater program and not tell anyone during the 7yg #it would be funny #narumitsu #wrightworth #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #ace attorney #edit: I haven’t been in any sort of theatre program in like a decade and I miss it

Doodler, scam likely & well actually

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #bouba/kiki effect for scam & well actually while also trying to do a wordworld esque thing to have going on #want doodler to be more abt silhouettes & pareidolia which i dont think i did that great of a job at but #think im most open to playing around w it more given its abt pinning down what cant be pinned down #i view scam likely less like a corporeal being and feel like emphasizing it as a concept. a goof if you will

Okay I gotta say your art + story have gotten my fanfic engines a churning and now I'm picturing AU with the bros starting out in the wildlife game but with Martin as an 18-19 year old and Chris as this 14 year old and it's more "panicked older brother trying to keep his baby bro safe" while they encounter poachers/dangers.

OKOK HEAR ME OUT....

Martin has legal guardianship over Chris (uhh parents gotta die for this i am so sorry mom and dad kratt but it's for the fanfiction so please forgive me) Which is why a 14 year old is able to join their research team. Martin is technically "homeschooling" him, (i mean technically he's learning on creature adventures so...)

Martin was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the Tortuga research program and Chris didn't want to be the reason that Martin held back on his dreams. So, Chris was basically like take me with you, I'll be good and stay out of trouble I promise. So basically Martin is trying to do his job while simultaneously juggling the responsibility of raising Chris. And the rest of the team helps out as well so they all become a little family and go on these adventures.

The rest of the team would step into older sibling roles as well: Aviva would teach Chris about programming and engineering, Koki would show him how the Tortuga runs and how to make small tune-ups, and Jimmy would teach him how to bake and play video games with him. JUST IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES

I don't think Aviva would make a CPS for him, Martin would lose his mind if she did. Chris was already a handful, he does NOT need to be running around as a gecko. Maybe she could make a less extreme version of the suit for him? Like a partial creature power suit, where it can give him traits of animals. Instead of turning into the whole leopard, it just gives him leopard claw gloves and a tail for balance. So a little kiddy version of the CPS. IDk it's just an idea.

#wild kratts #chris kratt #martin kratt #asks #wild kratts au #wild kratts fanfiction #I feel like there could be some emotional issues involved with the lack of parents #Like Martin had to grow up too quick and sometimes resents his parents for it #and then Chris gets upset because he translates that into “Martin is mad that he has to raise me and IM the problem” #Meanwhile Martin just wishes Chris had their parents because Martin doesn't think he's doing a good job of raising Chris #Chris probably barely remembers them and thinks Martin is doing a great job #And Martin ofc is like barely an adult so he lets Chris eat icecream for breakfast sometimes and explore the wilderness with him #but hes doing his best so its okay #now if you don't make this fanfiction Im going to find you. #IM SERIOUS BECAUSE NOW IM INVESTED AND IF YOU DONT DO IT I WILL #WK Guardianship AU

this came to me in a feverish dream during work

#toby speaks #fob #pete wentz #i help teach tennis three days a week. that’s my job. im not great but I might be able to take Pete down if I tried hard enough #actually it’s not even a groundstroke i think he’s doing a backhand. whatever

[canisalbus]

So, about the latest piece, I'm wondering. Does Machete dislike the confession duty solely because of the burden of listening to others' sins and carrying their guilt? For the fact that even if someone confessed to him, for example, that they just murdered someone, he couldn't do anything about it, since their sins are only for God to hear? Or is it because he is sure that one day someone will confess his own, Machete's, sins?

.

#I think it's all of the above and a few other reasons #priesthood is largely a social profession and he never quite managed to develope the required people skills #and he's not always in speaking terms with God either so frankly he's not doing that great of a job at being his messenger boy #plus it's just unsettling to be boxed in there #left alone with your thoughts and unable to constantly monitor your surroundings #answered #azzieofthemoon

you’re laughing. kaishin got cousin-zoned in the newest detective conan movie and you’re laughing

#ok i know I KNOW this is a mass fandom genocide committed directly via word of god and it’s horrifying #my condolences to the affected families your sacrifices will be remembered etc etc #but i genuinely think this is so hilarious. no cap i’m laughing so hard #sorry that happened but also why would they do this after 30 years. absolutely bonkers move great job everyone #also who cares if they’re cousins i think that should make people ship them harder #dcmk #kaishin

the crazy thing about the sages in totk and their connections to the champions in botw to me is this: if the events of totk had happened 100 years ago, the champions would have been the sages. they have the sages' powers passed down by blood, and their descendants use the same powers throughout the game. all of them are related to the sages--

except Revali.

he's just some guy!! all of the other champions have their powers because they're descendants of the sages. but Tulin is the sage of wind and to my knowledge he isn't related to Revali at all. revali is the only one that has no special powers, only his own skills. the fact that teba and tulin exist implies that the actual descendant of the sage of wind had to be present when the hylians came looking for a rito champion, and revali took that guy's job. Imagine having the power to literally control the wind but even w that you're just not fucking good enough to compete with Revali 'I have to be the best at everything or I'll go nuclear' of the Rito for the title of champion. if all of the champions had survived the calamity and were there to help Link in totk, they would all be the ones with the secret stones taking up the mantle of sage. except Revali, who would just be some guy still hanging around losing his mind bc for the second time in his life an actual child is being given a position that he thinks he's much better suited for. it's a good thing he didn't make it honestly I don't think he'd take it well.

#totk #totk spoilers #revali #botw #zelda #legend of zelda #i just think it's rly funny that everyone in this franchise #is doing what they do bc they're basically fulfilling their destiny and playing a role #zelda and link and even ganon locked in their eternal struggle #the sages bound to sacrifice themselves again and again to help the hero defeat the great evil #all stuck doing what they're destined to do #but in just this one instance #someone was stubborn enough and loud enough about being the right one for the job #about CHOOSING to fight #that he pushed destiny and bloodlines and powers out of the way and said nope!! my time to shine babey #he still beefed it obvs but I appreciate that level of fuckery #and I'm sure the real sage of wind was glad for the break

making hera manage a space station is inhumane. she's supposed to be creating unmarketable art. post-canon hera makes like fifteen dollars a month off niche experimental multimedia poetry zines, eiffel is begging people to listen to his music on bandcamp (between an assortment of jobs that would be perfectly fine, if he could hold any of them for longer than two months), and they are both so, so lucky minkowski cares about them so much.

#wolf 359 #w359 #hera wolf 359 #doug eiffel #i've said things like this to friends before but it's important to me #hera is good at math by nature of her brain being. a computer that is wired up to other computers. #but none of that what she WANTS to do. jobs for which the only requirement is having no pulse. etc... #eiffel and hera are meant to be minkowski's slacker roommates #hera needs to make friends with musicians who are making equally niche and unmarketable stuff #and she recommends it to eiffel whose taste is way too normal #and she's like i told them about your music too!! and he's like oh... great... <- sweating because he knows how devastatingly uncool #all of these people think he is. #this would be good for her.

red bull: daniel’s bad habits from mclaren are fixed, he did well in the sim, and his tire test was so good that we immediately knew he was ready to be in a car.

alpha tauri & yuki: daniel’s feedback on the car has been instrumental, and he performed so well in difficult race conditions even though he didn’t have any upgrades and had some bad luck.

rando twitter user who doesn’t have the data, didn’t know liam lawson’s name three weeks ago, and constantly insults the way red bull quickly drops drivers who don’t perform: they’re only letting him drive for pr even though he’s a washed up failure.

#like is red bull too harsh on their drivers or are they hiring a pr merchant who can’t perform. pick a side. #it’s just hilarious that every single person who actually knows the sport & daniel’s data/contributions #won’t shut up about how helpful he’s been and how well he’s done and how mclaren doesn’t reflect his performance #but these random people on twitter think they know better #and their excuse is ‘well liam scored points’ as if he isn’t driving a different car entirely lmfao #like liam has done well! i like liam a lot! #but he’s benefited from a better car/things happening around him in the race/not being head to head against yuki #he’s done a great job but there’s literally been ZERO real head to head comparison between the 3 drivers #but alpha tauri/red bull rate daniel and they have his data and know what hes done for the car & setup #i don’t ever deny that daniel’s popularity certainly doesn’t hurt #but they dropped nyck like he was nothing #red bull axes anyone who can’t perform #if daniel couldn’t do it then he wouldn’t have a seat. not that hard to understand. #people on the internet make me feral. i cannot use the internet. i need to stick to my curated feeds bc everyone is so STUPID.

everything sam is doing to "save" dean from the mark is predicated on the belief that dean can't handle the mark. that he will lose. that he's not strong enough.

#and the fact is dean is winning every damn day! he's doing a great job! #i was going to say sam's opinions of dean haven't changed since s4 but i think this belief is much much older #specifically tied to dean 'not being strong enough' to stand up to john #when really he was picking his battles and trying to protect sam #spn #spn rewatch #10x18 book of the damned

calling harry a “can opener” was SUCH a good play for so many reasons i think about it every day.

in the context of his work, it makes him a tool. as many people have pointed out, including martin luiga, part of the hdb tragedy is that he simply cannot leave the force, and his superiors know that and are using it to their advantage. no matter what happens, even if harry hated every nanosecond of every bit of the work and wanted to leave, he can’t and won’t leave. they can leverage anything they want against him and then reel him back in with a facade of kindness when they “allow” him to keep his job, as long as he does what they want him to. the 41st knows he has this inexplicable talent with people and they use him for it. he’s a cop: that talent can be used in so many awful ways, to push so many different agendas. and they won’t even be his own. a can opener has no particular desire to open a can, aside from maybe the satisfaction of fulfilling a purpose. a can opener has no agency, it’s just a tool for someone else to use to get what they want. and he’s learned to be okay with being used as long as it means he gets to stay. his complacency with this system makes him guilty even if he’s also being harmed by it.

but in the context of his personal life you kind of... flip it. the people around him are going to be opened up whether they want to be or not, and it’s terrible for his relationships. it’s shown that the questions, the prying- the can-opening- it’s become inextricable from who he is as a person. it’s like he doesn’t know how else to communicate, except it’s hardly communication when you’re just ripping people open. he’s invasive as all hell, although whether he means to be is debatable. he’s the kind of person that wants to take things apart to see what makes them tick. he dissects people, but really that’s too delicate of a word for what he does; if he doesn’t get what he wants right up front, he’ll abandon all subtlety and go for brute force. if he can’t get your screws loose he’ll just smash you on the ground and pick through your pieces until he’s satisfied, and if what he did to you isn’t fixable? oh well, there are other cans to open. 

and he’ll use it for personal gain: we already know he is (was?) manipulative. once he knows how you operate, he knows how to make you keep him. he can yell or he can cry; he can threaten you or he can threaten himself; he can be completely suffocating or he can withdraw completely; he can be an incorrigible liar or brutally honest; he can present himself as a threat or a joke or a talent. he’s a chimera- that’s why he’s got this inexplicable magnetism, even when people know they shouldn’t like or trust him. fidelity of character means nothing to him. he’ll be whatever he needs to be as long as it gets him what he wants. the can-opening is just his way in.

#disco elysium #harry du bois #and it works on us the audience as well! #look at how many different versions of harry there are out there. each tailored to our individual preferences #we exaggerate and minimize his traits according to what we want to see. he's can-opening us too! #it's just like. of course his job will frame the can opening as a positive thing #but it's honestly one of his worst traits. or at least it is when he doesn't keep it in check #there's nothing wrong with wanting to understand people but the way he goes about it is harmful to everyone including himself #he's doing it because he has ulterior motives like 99.999998% of the time #this is mostly about pre-martinaise harry but i have no doubts that post-martinaise harry can go right back to this btw #a lot of us prefer to think of harry as drastically improving after martinaise which is great and i'd like to hope he does but. #it's also good to consider the overwhelming possibility that he will go right back to being a total shithead #and that may be completely unintentionally! which almost makes it worse! #ALSO. this is part of why kim makes a very good foil #for the most part kim will stonewall anything he doesn't feel like sharing #harry needs to respect boundaries and by god does kim have a lot of those (affectionate) #HOWEVER kim is definitely susceptible to the can opening as well #wait okay i have another post idea. #anyway thanks for reading. as always feel free to add and share thoughts! #kiwipost #hdb meta
