Goretober Day #13

"I want this to work. But I don’t think it will. So I’m gonna take that axe of yours, and when it all goes wrong, I’m going down swinging." Tim Stoker - MAG 116

Day 13: Headache.

Tim, buddy, you don't look so good.

[archivists-axe]

okay but what if sasha and tim at some point made polaroid photos together.

sasha's idea actually, "it has its own charm".

(he thought that it's more in Martin's style but it doesn't mean that it's bad).

there was two photos, for them both.

over time these photos were forgotten a bit but they still were carefully kept in their photo albums with shiny covers.

after the truth of sasha's death tim is devastated. the circus took away another person in his life and he had no idea.

before the unknowning tim is looking around his flat - that's his last time here, after all. his eye catches the photo album almost unrecognisable under layers of dust. he knows that he will not see the real sasha, not-her will mess with his head again. but maybe somewhere in it will be a precious memory with real her.

and he found that polaroid photo. her favourite square-shaped glasses that she thrifted with him. her long hair ruffled by the wind and tim's hand. her smile showing teeth and making wrinkles.

that's not the sasha he remembers but the sasha he loved.

he cries. he cries all night because he can see her again.

he takes this photo with him. it's placed in shirt's pocket, next to his heart.

he dies with it. and he's glad. he hopes that she liked his little joke.

anthonygreen666 Excited to announce ‘So Long, Avalon’ a re-imagined version of my first album produced by Keith Goodwin. So Long, Avalon out June 20th. “She Loves Me So” & “Stonehearted Man” are streaming now. VIP Upgrades on sale now. Tickets on sale tomorrow at 10am local. I’m excited for you all to hear it and to play these new versions live for you all on tour this summer. Link in bio for preorders and VIP upgrades. Coming back to Avalon with Keith felt really natural — like we were finishing a conversation we started long ago. Has anybody ever asked you, if you knew then what you knew now would you do anything differently? With this experiment, I got to actually go back and try things I wouldn’t of thought to do 20 years ago. After years of exploring these songs together structurally, we wanted to capture the life that these songs took on when we played them live in their various states. Couldn’t have done it without Keith, the most incredible friend and collaborator I could ever ask for. He knocked this out of the park. Thank you to Keith Goodwin, Rob Devious, Timothy Arnold, Gregg Mervine, Ian D.G Bennett at Mission Control Mastering, Snacktime, Sam Gellerstein, Yesseh Furaha-Ali, Eric Sherman, Ben Stocker, Sean Cohen, Jenny Goodwin, Alex Goodwin, Louis Goodwin, Miguel Mervine, Billie Arnold. for playing on this record as well and bringing it to life.

Lotte Reiniger (1920s): An Inspiration to Modern Animation Directors

(10 minutes reading)

By Sofi Ojeda

Lotte Reiniger was a talented German artist born in Berlin, she displayed remarkable, self-taught skills in creating intricate paper silhouettes from an early age. She incorporated these silhouettes into her homemade shadow theater with the influences she drew from traditional Asian shadow plays. Reiniger's talent led to an introduction to her later partner Koch, who not only designed her animation studio but also served as her producer and camera operator until his death in 1963.

Reiniger's enduring fascination with timeless fairy tales permeated her animations, including notable works such as "Aschenputtel" (Cinderella) and "Dornröschen" (The Sleeping Beauty) from 1922. However, her most remarkable achievement was "The Adventures of Prince Achmed," a pioneering project created in collaboration with her husband and others over three years, celebrated as the first full-length animated film in history.

Although, Reiniger created various works in different countries before and after the war, she never ventured into another full-length feature film. Nevertheless, her unique animation style continues to exert a profound influence on a diverse range of cinematic creations, from Disney classics to the enchanting world of Harry Potter, leaving an indelible mark on the realm of animation.

Pioneering Techniques

Furthermore, Reiniger's legacy transcends her era, as her pioneering techniques, including cut-out animation (where body parts are separated and manipulated with anchor points and a skeletal structure). And her silhouette art underscores one of the most recognized design principles—silhouette—in character design and object recognition. This principle facilitates viewers' comprehension of visual information and enhances their grasp of the narrative.

Having gained insight into her techniques, let's explore some examples of her influence.

Inspiration to Animation Directors Over Time

Reiniger influence on Walt Disney

She inspired Disney to incorporate the concept of the multiplane camera into animation. This innovative camera technique involved the use of multiple layers of drawings moving at varying speeds, effectively creating a sense of depth and dimension in the video.

Reiniger influence on Tim Burton

In Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride" (2004), a traditional interpretation of Reiniger's style surfaces in a scene during the musical number 'Remains of the Day.' Utilizing silhouettes set against vibrant green backgrounds, the narrative unfolds, reminiscent of Reiniger's shadow animations.

Reiniger influence in Ford Coppola

The opening scene of Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992) serves as a clear illustration of this phenomenon. It involves the recounting of Vlad 'The Impaler' Dracula's history, shifting from a live-action sequence to a battle montage that adopts Reiniger's distinctive artistic style.

Lotte R. influence in Harry Potter

In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1" (2010), there's a noteworthy transition from live-action to animation as Harry, Ron, and Hermione delve into 'The Tale of the Three Brothers.' To honor Reiniger's iconic storytelling style, which often resembled classic fables, the filmmakers opted for this approach

Conclution

From a gender perspective, it appears that Lotte Reiniger existed in a parallel world where her voice as a woman was not only acknowledged but also illuminated across time to the present day. It's worth noting that she seemed to be the sole practitioner of her unique animation technique, and had she worked in a male-dominated field, the course of history might have unfolded quite differently. However, I am not implying that she didn't face the challenges that were prevalent in her time.

In summation, Lotte Reiniger's contributions to the world of animation stand as a testament to her inventive spirit and pioneering endeavors. Her mastery of shadow animation, her lasting impact on modern animation techniques, and her feminist legacy collectively leave an enduring impression on the cinematic landscape. Her influence continues to inspire filmmakers and animators to this day.

"Did you see that new guy?.. I swear, his face looks like ceramic mask, and i swear i see it's cracking" - Tim Stocker

Starting new year with putting Knife in Martin K(nife) Blackwood

The fanfic with the quote from Tim above is not written (yet?) but i have one about Martin Knifing Elias - here is ao3 link

[askoliverbanks]

Mhm

She got hurt, I don't know how, but she came to me and I tried to help her as best as I could.

Now she's alright, almost. She's still regaining her wing strength and ability to fly

*familiar, rather nostalgic knocking, but not on the window. Sound comes low, from the door. Crow sits on the perch, looking up. Nothing changed, except for a few stray feathers, curled as if by haircurler*

@curiouscrowseverywhere

Friend *he looks at her and laughs a little, then pet's her* how was the distortion? Did you enjoy your trip through the corridors?

wip game, 4. This is why I hate customer service ?

Kckfkdkj hi, yes, love your jaytim fics btw excuse me while I shake off my star-struck-dumbness. I swear I can be totally normal about this but I think your works are fabulous 🙇🙇🖤 so maybe not

But! This is why I hate customer service is based came about from one of my own experiences (or many but w/e) while doing fast food where I had an older gentleman tell me I had lovely veins. Noticing I was speechless and weirded out, his friend reassured me he was a doctor. It was not actually reassuring. The doctor was totally unrepentant for giving a fast food worker "it puts the lotion on its skin" vibes.

Naturally, my next rational thought was Tim, instead of doing the responsible thing and dragging himself to a real therapist or mental health professional, trauma dumping on and over sharing with customer service workers :333 it's probably crack but I lol Everytime I go back and add to it:

“Is it really so bad?” Tim asks the cashier as he hands over his credit card. 

Giving him her You’re Stupid Stare, the cashier swipes Tim’s card viciously. “Uh, yeah, duh, course it is,” she tells him flatly.

Pursing his lips, Tim glares at her but there’s no heat behind it. 

The middle aged woman has been his confidant and sounding board since he walked through their drive thru, looking like hell warmed over with his torn sweatpants, disheveled hair and dull look in his eyes. It had been a hard day at the office, harder night on patrol and only made worse by a bout of insomnia. Tim had been helpless to his sudden craving for greasy, terrible but cheap food and too tired to care how he looked. 

Or watch what he said. Really, Tim didn’t set out that night to go on a five minute rant about corporate idiots with their plastic smiles and fake laughs to cover up the fact they’re terrible at their jobs, but, well. That’s what happened but she took the info dump with grace, recanted on forcing him to come inside the restaurant since he wasn’t in a vehicle and ushered him along. Looking back, Tim’s pretty sure she was trying to get him out there as quickly as possible. Gotham breeds strange, basks in the odd and embraces the unusual so he must’ve looked some special kind of deranged.

Yet, the next time he came through, this time in a rental car but no less exhausted, she sardonically asked him how his day was in the office. Truthfully, it hadn’t been horrible so he told her that then proceeded to recount a sterilized version of events for his last patrol where he ended up taking a dip in the bay and contracting walking pneumonia. All the bubbling frustration at his own inadequacies still raged within the cage of his mind but the noise died down once he was able to give voice to it. 

The next time, he bitched to her about Damian and felt better for it. He even made her laugh that time. 

Then, while picking up a couple things at the corner market for dinner, he bemoaned to the unsuspecting teenage stocker about Dick’s clingy tendencies and the way it clashes with Tim’s touch starved nature. The poor kid had looked at him, eyes as big as saucers, and said, “Yeah, that’s cool, man. The spaghetti sauce is in aisle 3.” He did feel bad for that one, minutely, because he still walked away lighter than before.

Thus his habit of trauma dumping on poor, unsuspecting customer service workers was born. He can barely get through an interaction with a complete stranger without dropping some kind of horrible fact if only to lighten his own burden on the days when it all seems to be caving in to crush him. 

The fast food cashier is just his favorite. 

“Why?” Tim asks, honestly curious and affronted.

“Honey,” she says patiently, “you said this hot hunk of man meat-”

“Please never call him that again.”

“Gave you a some scars like the one right there on your neck your concealer ain’t doing much for anymore-”

“To be fair, it’s only meant for 24 hours.”

“And all you can think about is him bending you over in some dirty ass back alley like a two dollar hooker.”

“Well, when you put it that way,” Tim concedes, sinking down into the seat of his motorcycle and willing a portal to open up and swallow him whole. He loves fast food lady but, damn, she doesn’t hold back. “You might have a point.”

“Boy, you ain’t stupid. You know I always got one, thanks,” she sniffs. “But, honey, that right there sounds like a red flag factory.”

Tim shrugs helplessly. She isn’t wrong, after all. 

She whistles long and low, crossing her arms in the sill of the window and leaning out. “Oh, you got it bad, huh, hun?”

Again, Tim shrugs because there’s no point lying. He’s the one who initiated the conversation so it’s his fault for letting loose something so personal. To be fair, Jason had tackled him mid-patrol the night before, murder in his eyes and an intent to pound Tim into the roof in all the ways he didn’t want. All Tim did was completely ignore his self-drawn territory lines and completely ruin Jason’s own investigation that was sure to end in a couple bodies in the morgue. The tousle ended with Jason straddling Tim, thighs tight around his waist and chest heaving, before socking him clean in the jaw.

“That bruise him too?” she asks Tim. “Don’t you dare shrug at me again, by the by!”

“Yes,” he groans, “it is.”

“You’ve got some screws loose,” she tells him while flapping a hand. “But to each their own. That’s a thing, ain’t it? Gettin’ off to bein’ slapped around?”

“Kill me now,” Tim moans. 

“Not till you get your man, freaky.”

“Is my food ready?” Tim asks quickly, hoping against hope to escape the conversation. This has gone completely off script. There’s no way he drives off and feels anything but terrible after this rather than the catharsis he usually gets.
