hi here's my ppu edith she .has those blue eyes that are kind of scary and staring directly into your soul and doesn't know how to flirt with krupp so she just resorts to being vaguely ominous and threatening at all times and he doesn't pick up on it at all either as flirting or threats

[mylittlemystery]

Can you do A-Y with Mr. Krupp from Captain Underpants? Not even the hero side just the villain-

Wow, that is a certified throwback! XD I'll try my very best to do this character justice!

A: Aftercare | What is their aftercare like after a heavy round of tickling?:)

He'd be hella awkward, that's for sure. XD He'd most likely end up rubbing your shoulders until you've calmed down sufficiently, and then he would ask if you need him to get you a glass of water.

B: Bondage | How do they react to bondage, do they enjoy it and if yes, what is their favorite pose?

NO, he does not. You're lucky enough if you can get him to agree to let you tickle him, so you'd be out of your god damn mind if you think you're gonna get him to agree to being tied up on top of that. As for tying others up, he doesn't like that either. He'd prefer to just hold them or something along those lines.

C: Chase | What are their chances in a chase, both as a lee and ler?

As a 'lee, you already know he is going to lose. The guy doesn't have the best stamina in the world, after all (I relate to this on a spiritual level). He probably wouldn't even try to run because of a mixture of this knowledge and his pride.

As a 'ler, he wouldn't even try to chase after the 'lee if they decide to run away. Go ahead, you are not worth that much energy. He's too old for this childish bullshit anyway. XD

D: Death Spot | What is their most ticklish spot?

I think it'd be his stomach, specifically the lower portion of it. Very fun to squish, squeeze, and prod. :3

E: Expression | How do they express their wish to tickle/be tickled?

When he wants to tickle somebody, he'll probably start running a few fingers along their sides while he's cuddling them (I think tickling is something he keeps reserved for romantic relationships). If they don't stop him, then he'll just keep going.

In the rare instances he wants to be tickled, he will just choose to suffer silently. There is no way in hell he's going to do something as humiliating as ask for it. XD

F: Fight | What is their behavior in a tickle fight like?

Oh, he's not getting into one of those. You think he's gonna risk throwing his back out over something like THIS? Ha, yeah right...

G: Gentle | How do they react to gentle tickles?

These are the kind of tickles that he prefers the most. He'll end up chuckling under his breath as he halfheartedly swats the 'ler's hands away from him, and it's a lot cuter than anyone would expect from him.

H: Habits | As a lee/ler or both, do they have specific habits when it comes to tickling?

As a 'lee, he covers his mouth with both of his hands as tight as he can. He doesn't want anybody to see him smiling or hear him laughing, so this is his last resort when it comes to holding them both back.

As a 'ler, he bites his lower lip to stop himself from cracking a smile at the 'lee's reactions quite often. If it's a smug smile, he'll let it show. If it's an adoring one, then he's gotta hold that shit back.

I: Interrogation | How well would they handle a tickle interrogation?

Oof, not too well. 💔 Shit like this really fucking embarrasses him, so he'd probably end up cracking more from the humiliation rather than the tickling itself. I'd give about half an hour at most...

J: Joy | Their absolute favorite thing about tickling?

You already know that he's a power rush type of dude. Being able to stay in control through something as childish as this is extremely satisfying to him, so he's very much going to appreciate that aspect of it the most.

K: Killer Move | As a ler, do they have special skills to use against their lees and drive them crazy with?

He's really good at applying just the right amount of pressure to a certain spot to get the most amount of laughter out of the 'lee. He couldn't tell you why, though - it's kind of like a special superpower only applicable here.

L: Laughter | What does their laughter sound like when they are tickled?

It's rather boisterous and warm, surprisingly enough. Comes straight from the chest and fills up the entire room that happens to contain it. Very nice to listen to, actually.

M: Mornings | Their tickle behavior during mornings?

Do not tickle him during mornings. He needs a cup of coffee before he does literally anything else, and trying to get him to cheer up via early morning tickles will have the polar opposite effect on him...just don't do it, okay?

N: Nights | Their tickle behavior during nights?

He'd be okay with tickling his significant other during a late night movie session if they're okay with it too. He especially enjoys it when they're tucked under the blankets together and listening to each other laugh softly. <3

O: Online | Text messaging and social media, do they have some kind of online tickly behavior to tease their lee or ler with?

Nah, he's not that kind of guy. Mans can barely figure out how to open two tabs at once, let alone post any sort of teases on the Internet. XD

P: Partner In Crime | If they were to go after a lee and accept the aid of a tickle partner, who do they prefer to join hands with and why?

Oh, it'd definitely be Edith. She's the love of his life, after all. Normally, it ends up being her to reel him in once he's getting a bit too into it (he sometimes forget that the 'lee eventually has to breathe).

Q: Question | Their response to the question ‘are you ticklish’?

Straightens his tie and resists the urge to slam his fist right into the side of your jaw. Do not ask him again because he will have a stroke from getting way too flustered by such a simple inquiry, and trying to tickle him will result in you going directly to jail.

R: Role | Lee or ler, what is generally their main role?

He's definitely more of a 'ler. The only times he'll allow himself to be a 'lee is when he's with someone that he really trusts because he hates to lose control in front of anybody else.

S: Safeword | If they were to suggest the safeword for a tickle session, which word will it be?

If he's tickling somebody that he likes, then he'll just stop whenever they ask him to. If he's tickling somebody that he's not a big fan of, then they'd better start praying. XD

T: Teasing | Their most favorite methods of teasing their lee/ler?

He likes to ask his 'lee the obvious questions and shit like that, usually focusing on why they're reacting the way that they are and things along those lines. He's a bit of an asshole if you couldn't already tell. XD

He can't collect his thoughts enough to tease his 'ler when he's being tickled, so he settles for lots of squirming instead.

U: Unusual | Do they have some unusual tickle spots? Where?

His ankles are ever so slightly ticklish. Like, not enough to make him laugh, but enough to make him flinch and crack a smile, you know what I mean?

V: Victim | As a ler, who is their favorite lee and what makes this person their ultimate victim?

Once again, this would have to be Edith. He just loves everything about her, and that includes her shy sort of laugh that shines particularly bright when she's being tickled. Bless this couple, they are so fucking sweet. <3

W: Word | What is their reaction to the T-word? Can they say it out loud or do they get embarrassed?

He's one of those people that only struggles to say it out loud when it's being used against him. In everyday conversation? Perfectly fine, no problem. In response to someone teasing him? Boy forgets how to talk-

X: X-Over | In a crossover AU, which other fandom character would be a fitting tickle fight opponent for them and why?

Probably King Spades from Deltarune? They're both two grumpy individuals who could stand to laugh a bit more in their everyday lives, so I think it fits.

Y: YOU | Any personal self- or reader-insert tickle fantasy / headcanon to share with this character?

I've been wanting to make him smile ever since I was REALLY young, if you know what I mean. He's probably one of the biggest reasons I love grumpy 'lees so much if I'm being honest.

[infini-tree]

If you haven’t figured out a Pokémon for Poopypants to be in the pmd au, can he please be a gengar? I feel like it fits him so well 😂

i’ve actually chosen a pokemon for him, and its reuniclus, since the line is brain-orientated, and in the case of reuniclus is also surprisingly prone to bouts of resorting to physical violence despite being all brainy and psychic

while gengar is a good pick at face value, it (and the rest of its line) is usually characterized as a prankster, and a malicious one depending on the pokedex entry, and the former isn’t really his vibe, you know since he you know. hates laughter? 

as an aside, this is the reason why in a standard trainer au, krupp would have a haunter

[yngwrthr]

What does Crispien say about terror and coercion? He has said that these are two different things. Perhaps such a distinction is possible in a manual of sociology, but it cannot be made in political practice, especially in the conditions of Germany. We are forced to resort  to coercion and terror against people who behave like the German officers who killed Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, or against people like Stinnes and Krupp, who buy up the press. Of course, there is no need to proclaim in advance that we shall positively resort to terror but if the German officers and the Kappists remain the same as they are now, the employment of terror will be inevitable. Not only Kautsky, but Ledebour and Crispien as well, speak of coercion and terror in a wholly counter revolutionary spirit. A party that makes shift with such ideas cannot participate in the [proletarian] dictatorship. That is self evident.

“Get ready, wake your psyche up, Gooch！

Get ready, dig your anger up, Gooch！

Get ready, wake your psyche up, Gooch！

Get ready!” 

So this happened during the weekend on a road trip where I decided to create another AU featuring the CU cast in the world of Mob Psycho 100. But as a twist, instead of revolving around George and Harold, the story would instead focus on unlucky oddball Steve “Gooch” Yamaguchi. 

Starring

Gooch as Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama. Along with having the same hairstyle, they’re both awkward, blunt and soft spoken boys who have difficulty with reading the room or understanding social norms. They still try to be good people but often get taken advantage of by other more domineering personalities. For this AU, Gooch is gifted with incredible powers that ordinary people could only dream to have. But Gooch isn’t interested in them since most people in his life only want him because of his powers. He wants to be recognized for his other traits and talents that don’t revolve around making cars and people float into space. 

Krupp as Reigen Arataka. They’re both highly similar since they’re stingy, overreactive, self-absorbed glory hounds who often take advantage of others if it means satisfying their own personal goals. The main difference that unlike canon, Krupp will be an actual Jerk with a Heart of Gold for this AU. Over time, he learns to care about Gooch as he becomes his master by providing him genuine life lessons for him to use in his life. He also realizes that there are consequences to going too far with his selfish ways and that he won’t be as happy if he continues down the same path. He runs a spirit and consultation office where he takes on supernatural themed cases if it means bringing him cash and popularity. 

Bo as Ritsu Kageyama. Both of them are dependable, kind hearted and have a close relationship with the main protagonist. In this AU, Bo would be more like a childhood friend who grew up with Gooch and cherishes his friendship with him. However, an incident involving some bullies made Bo insecure over the fact that he wasn’t able to protect Gooch. What’s worse is that Gooch was the one who ended up saving the two of them while also discovering his psychic powers that very day.  It’s because of this that Bo is desperate to awaken his own powers so he can be the guardian he was meant to be.

Smartsy as Dimple. Along with being floating blobs of green gas, they also started out as villains who wanted to take control of people but decided to let go of their schemes and become good. His initial cult was dedicated to healthy living by eating as many beans, broccoli and apple juice as possible.

Melvin as Teruki Hanazawa. The cocky, talented rivals of their respective series. Just like Teru, Melvin starts out believing himself to be something of a god while everyone else are inferior life forms for him to boss around. It isn’t until he has a chance encounter with Gooch does he realize that he isn’t the only big fish in the little pond called life. While he’s still arrogant and sarcastic, humble is something that Melvin can never properly learn in any AU, he does show genuine respect for Gooch for his abilities and a willingness to cooperate with his social circle. Also he does end up bald during his fight with Gooch and resorts to using an 80s wig.

Jessica as Tome Kurata. While this is a weird choice because of their different social standings, I chose them based on personality types. Just like Tome, Jessica is overly dramatic, obnoxious, conceited and is prone to giving orders to other students. For this AU, while she did create the Telepathy Club to be lazy and goof off, she does have a genuine interest in alien life and wants to make contact with them. Mainly so she can share her fabulous haar secrets with the rest of the universe. And in case you’re wondering about the aliens in her haar, those aren’t decorations. Those are the real thing. But just like Tome, Jessica needs to be motivated to achieve her goal and she’ll easily obtain them if she actually puts the effort into it.

Dressy as Ichi Mezato. A junior reporter at the school and a close acquaintance of Gooch. I picked her mainly for her role rather than personality. The reason she begins to investigate Gooch is because she’s seen his powers in its fullest when he defeated Smartsy’s Health Cult which in turn resulted in a secret following of people dedicated to the mysterious savior. Dressy desires to learn more about him so she can use his information and powers to promote a new world order that inspires peace and harmony among the rest of the Earth. So in a way, she wants to create her own cult. Cult!

Erica as Shou Suzuki. Both of them are talented, athletic and tend to snark when given the opportunity. Despite their cocky attitudes, they are truly aligned with the good side and want to make things right. For the AU, Erica has been keeping tabs on the Claw organization and has been providing the heroes with information needed to help take them and her wicked godmother down. 

Nurse Offstill as Tsuchiya. I decided to go with Offstill since I wanted a female Faculty member who could work as a reformed Claw member. Offstill works with Tsuchiya since they’re both kick butt ladies who treat kids with respect and pretty cool in their own ways. Also to keep the record clear, Nurse Offstill belongs to @guilty-as-battery-charged. 

Mr. Ree as Yusuke Sakurai. They’re both serious and dedicated to their careers. Ree would be exceptionally talented when it comes to using weapons. And while he does start out as a villain, he ultimately switches to being a good guy and proves to be a reliable ally.

Mr. Meaner as Banshomaru Shinra. They both have a sorta weird friendship going on with Krupp/Reigen, especially when it comes to their banter. Both Meaner and Shinra also believe themselves to be exceptionally great at their talents but the results say otherwise as they end up becoming Butt Monkeys.

Professor Poopypants as Ishiguro. The main antagonists of their respective series who intend to conquer the world and live above everyone as superior beings. They cannot be swayed into stopping their evil agendas and refuse to accept logic. Also they’re both tiny and have violent temper tantrums.

Mister Rio as Shimazaki. I went with my OC Rio since he fits with Shimazaki as a confident, agile and dangerous threat. They’ll beat you to a pulp with a smug smile on their faces.

Ms. Anthrope as Toichiro Suzuki. Regarding personalities, Anthrope can work for Toichiro since on the surface they’re presented as calm-minded, serious and somewhat generous to those around them. (Toichiro offered to help Serizawa control his powers and Anthrope is always reaching out to Krupp as a friend). But beneath the surface, they prove to be egomaniacal and dangerous as they intend to conquer the world to satisfy their own egos. I based this on how Anthrope was super expressive and power hungry when she became Clogneta. 

Edith the Lunch Lady as Serizawa Katsuya. Just like Serizawa, Edith is an awkward but friendly person who wants to do what’s right. They have difficulty speaking up for themselves so they often mumble their words and drop the issue. For this AU, Edith was a social outcast because of her out of control powers and was afraid of hurting people. It isn’t until Ms. Anthrope arrived did she learn not only to control her powers but that she can be of use to create a better world order. But eventually she realizes how harmful and dangerous Anthrope’s agenda really is and switches sides. Once the battle is over, she decides to work at Krupp’s spirit office to use her powers for good. Also, Serizawa is considered to be Reigen’s love interest so it felt appropriate to have Edith here considering how Reigen is. *insert hubba-hubba-buububaba*

Other characters that I wanted to include were Lavator Ree as Murashi Gouda the leader of the Body Improvement Club. In this AU, Lavator would be a gym teacher instead of a student but he still leads the club with pride and goes the extra mile to ensure that Gooch is getting the right amount of training. And for George and Harold, I feel that they would share an unofficial role of being the Emi of the AU. They ended up having a rut with their comics since they feel that it doesn’t have the same heart like the old ones did. What’s worse is that they feel that maybe they’re outgrowing making comic books. But it isn’t until a chance encounter with Gooch who provides meaningful words to the boys on how their work does have meaning and they should cherish not only the talent they have but the time they spend making it together. This rekindles their spirits and the boys decide to make a comic dedicated to their new friend called “The Paranormal Heroics of the Prodigious Psycho Helmet”. And I also wanted to include someone for Tsubomi but I didn’t know which student would be fit to be Gooch’s love interest.

And that is Gooch Psycho 100. Thank you for taking the time to read all this. If you have any thoughts on this AU, or would like to share your own ideas, you’re more than welcome to like and/or reblog this with your thoughts.

So… my tumblr account has been giving me trouble to the point I can’t log back on with my macbook or my phone to the point that I’m resorting to my old computer right now. I did see the trailer for ‘The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants’ so many times and the theme song is both cute and hilarious.

Here’s my thoughts on the trailer and the photos:

-Love the new voices for George and Harold. I know George’s new VA sings, so it’s nice that he gets to sing here. I can’t wait to hear more

. -I can recognize Sean Astin (enjoyed watching him in the second season of Stranger Things) but I’m SO convinced the narrator is actually supposed to be Dav Pilkey, like how Patrick Warburton is Lemony Snicket.

-So if the purple dragon thing happened here… are we going with the ‘blackmail’ version of how Krupp got hypnotized?

-I love how they take the sign gag a step further by tricking Krupp into saying the message like in the film.

-Though I miss his green pants already. The fact that his outfit had some coloring helped make him stand out from the rest of the staff, like how the colors of the boys’ clothes made them stand out.

-Speaking of Krupp, that voice will take time to get used to. It seems Nat is trying not to be like Ed Helms and he gave Krupp a more nasally voice, but it’s still rough and harsh.

-So.. did they change Anthrope’s name to Hurd, or was that my imagination?

-I hope we get to see Krupp’s mom. This character of great speculation is canon AND alive. But… why would Krupp brush her off for a ‘meeting’ that’s clearly not happening? Maybe it’s just a one time thing.

-I love the nods they are keeping to the original books, especially those that re exactly like the illustrations from specific pages.

-Again, the theme song is super cute. -So Krupp has a count board for all the times the boys went into his office? Dude, why? Funny, but why?!

-I love how they made the fact that he’s fat more obvious in his design and how everything is hanging out.

Then he leans over his desk and I’m reminded of the jokes of how ‘he’s got some booty.’

-I can’t get over the fact that Krupp literally sings ‘BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!’ and you KNOW there’s no way he’d willingly be a part of it.

-Love that they will be using other artistic mediums. That was a fun part of the film.

-Gosh that picture of him screaming with fangs before the picture cracks to reveal CU looks like a fan art I’ve seen on tumblr by one of the artists. I’m convinced one of the fandom works on the show.

-WHY would they ditch the black dots from CU’s cape?! It makes no sense!

-I wish we heard more of CU’s voice because I like what I heard so far. It’s lighter and smoother, compared to Krupp’s voice. Yet it doesn’t seem as ‘deep’ like Helms did it.

-Oh that was why he was singing 'blah blah blah’ because it rhymes with 'tra la la.’

-Aw, did they make CU even DUMBER than in the film?

-Ah, new kids! AND THERE’S GIRLS! Yes, we finally get more good female characters and they all look good!

-Hey one of them looks like the red headed child from the concept art! The one outside Krupp’s office!

-The photos look promising too.

-Oh my gosh, I looked up the names of the other actors for the show and I recognize these guys! Sapphire from Steven Universe? Bill from King of the Hill? Frau Farbissina from Austin Powers?! Oh heck yes!

-Yeah, WHY are the boys still in the same class together? I’m thinking that this is an alternate continuity separate from the books AND the film at this point.

-Aw, it looks like a lot of George and Harold’s classmates like CU if that one photo is any indication. That or confused.

-Thanks to ‘that which we never speak of’ I just look at Meaner and think ‘Yeah, this guy is just going to be hated no matter what happens.’

-Lots of ethnicities in that classroom= good representation for the young fans of the series.

-So, is Melvin friends with some of those girls? It looked like it in one photo.

-But on the other hand, every kid still can’t stand him it seems.

-I know Krupp should not be picking up George and Harold by their clothes for MANY reasons. But on the other hand, I can’t get over how that happened in my fic ‘Braided together’ and the boys are EXACTLY positioned how I imagined them for that similar scene.

-There better be an explanation for why Edith isn’t in the first season. I get they started out around the same time they were making the film, but I hope she makes an appearance.

-NO SMILING?! Yeah, you deserve to get TPed Krupp.

-I want to know why Krupp is smiling in that one picture.

-The giant pear thing… Would The Doctor himself be willing to face such a thing?

Well, that’s all I got to say. Can’t wait to find out more. Hope we get to see the boys’ family… and I hope we get some book villains later (well, in a way we already do, but we hate one of them and he doesn’t count).

Why is it, I wonder, that crowds are so much more easily swayed than individuals? Why are mobs so easily steered and prodded?

I believe it has all to do with reason versus emotion. You’re not going to whip a solitary person up into a frenzy—if you try, he or she will regard you not only with suspicion but with compassion. To convince a single person you must resort to, and appeal to his or her, reason—perhaps, also, to some degree his or her intuition.

If you make sense, well, he or she might just be swayed your way. If not, then not so much.

Emotion, on the other hand, well—and to make my point, let me quote a short article that appeared in Deutsche Welle in November 2012:

::

At a Nazi Party rally in 1935, Hitler described his ideal of the Hitler Youth as “swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp’s steel.” The phrase was subsequently quoted often and used as a slogan.

On September 14, 1935, a small, unattractive man with a toothbrush mustache, in a stiff white shirt, brown tie and uniform, addressed some 50,000 members of the Hitler Youth Movement in the gigantic stadium of the Nazi party rally grounds in Nuremberg. His fists clenched, the Führer spoke to a captive audience, which stood to attention in orderly rows and frequently interrupted his words with impassioned shouts of “Sieg Heil!”

The longer he spoke, the more he whipped the crowd into a frenzy of enthusiasm with talk of the rampant degeneracy of the Weimar Republic and the need for a new German who was “more disciplined, fit and trim.” He told the sea of upturned faces that “a young German must be as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp’s steel.”

It’s hard to tell from film footage of this speech whether all the young people present were genuinely moved by Hitler’s words, whether they actually understood his message or were simply carried away by the electrifying atmosphere. The only surviving footage is stylized in the same way as Leni Riefenstahl’s notorious propaganda film “Triumph of the Will,” made one year previously at the Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg.

Close-ups of young, shining-eyed Aryans and shots of vast arenas filled with rows of blonde, uniformed young people overseen by the Führer himself combine to create the impression that an almost religious event is taking place. This was exactly the effect Hitler’s fiery speeches and the spectacular mass rallies so beloved of the Nazis were supposed to achieve.

 The Power of Imagery

Othmar Plöckinger from the Institute of Contemporary History in Munich has researched Hitler’s speeches in-depth. “Hitler was undoubtedly a successful orator, especially in the early years,” says Plöckinger. “Around 1933, his speeches became more weighed down with show.”

In the run-up to his rise to power, the right-wing press responded primarily to the Nazis’ knack for imagery and the pomp and ceremony of Hitler’s public speeches, rather than the actual content.

Leftwing writer Franz Jung gave a glimpse of the extraordinary organizational effort that went into the Nazis’ mass events in his eye-witness account of a May 1 parade in Berlin shortly after the Nazis seized power in 1933: “For the first time in history, a gathering of one-and-a-half-million people is to take place on the Tempelhofer Feld, the press has reported. The Propaganda Ministry published a review of operations which states that 18,000 people organized into six columns will gather within one hour [...] The top of the first column will reach Tempelhofer Feld at 2:00 p.m., and the rally will begin at 8:00 p.m.”

The media was brought into line to ensure that the desired effect of Hitler’s speeches was underscored by press coverage. A day after he gave a speech, almost all the major dailies would reprint it word for word; it would be reported on the radio; film footage of the event would be shown weeks later on newsreels screened in cinemas.

It was the Nazis’ skilled media manipulation that allowed Hitler’s appeal to German youth to be “as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp’s steel” to become a popular quote that went down in German history. Over the years, the fact that it was first spoken by Hitler was eventually forgotten.

 Militaristic Message

Swift as greyhounds, tough as leather? Hitler’s speech seems bizarre now, not least on account of his failure to mention any traditional values that young people might aspire to, such as education, wisdom and justice. As it happened, Hitler had come up with the sentence long before the Hitler Youth rally in 1935—he has used it 10 years earlier in his book “Mein Kampf.”

Even then, Hitler was more interested in what Othmar Plöckinger calls “military” discipline rather than educational ambition.

“There is no explicit mention of education and young people in “Mein Kampf,” although Hitler’s fondness for military thought and action is already in evidence,” he says. “In this respect, militarism obviously served as one of the main cornerstones of the Nazi society.”

By 1935, Hitler’s power was consolidated, the NSDAP had 3.9 million members and the opposition had largely been eliminated. The Nazis were in a position to plan German expansion and rearmament. Hitler introduced conscription, breaking the terms of the Versailles Treaty, which had placed restrictions on Germany’s armed forces.

Hitler’s speech to young Germans in 1935 was a taste of things to come. In 1936, a law was passed that made the Hitler Youth the only youth organization in Germany, made up of the Hitlerjugend proper, for male youths ages 14-18; the younger boys’ section Deutsches Jungvolk for ages 10-14; and the girls’ section Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM, the League of German Girls).

In 1939, membership became compulsory. Nearly 8 million youngsters took part in drills on the schoolyard, shooting exercises and mustering, all with the goal of becoming as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp’s steel. The Hitler Youth was disbanded by Allied authorities in 1945.

::

Yes, Hitler was a gifted rabble-rouser (to put it mildly) and, by his own intents and purposes, one must admit that he was successful. Of course, the end game didn’t quite go as planned—just to make sure his suicide would turn out well (as in certain death), he not only took a cyanide capsule, but he also shot himself with a pistol. So much for swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp’s steel. Just a pile of 56 years old, flabby German coward.

Now, a recent President seems to have ripped a few pages out of this German coward’s playbook which we saw evidence of during his strange political “Lock Her Up” rallies. Not too much reason involved here, but a lot of mob-mentality emotion. Very un-American, that—we who pride ourselves on our rugged individualism.

And I’m sure that many (though by no means all) of the twenty or so thousand attendees at these Mini-Nurembergs were just that, rugged individuals, proud selves as it were.

But, it seems to be quite well known that one does get carried away, as they say. We see it in sports: hockey games and soccer games come to mind. I’ve been there myself, carried along by the jubilant group emotion at a hard-fought-for score, or the bordering-on-hatred rising like miasma at the clearly unfair and potentially injurious tackle.

::

But why? Why do we get carried away?

I ran across this Quora thought, which I found insightful: “I think there are only two ways a person can be carried away by a crowd. Sadly, both of those ways are entirely possible and have indeed happened.

“In the 18th Century, people who had made themselves completely unwelcome in a community were, literally, carried away by a crowd: out of town, on a rail, usually tarred and feathered.

“And, less literally, here in the 21st Century, any type of vigilante behaviors, and they do exist, would be a physical being carried away by an unruly crowd.

“There is also the emotional being carried away by a crowd. We need look no farther than the emotional sway Herr Hitler had on good and decent German people.

“For some enigmatic and unfathomable reason, when a moral, and upright person, who wouldn’t hurt a fly is caught up in mob mentality, they frequently act like they would never do on their own; along with the rest of the crowd.

“I think their logic runs along the lines of: I am only 1% to blame for my actions. My culpability is shared with the other 99 participants. Naturally, the other 99 people, individually, feel the same way.”

Well put, I think. And I believe the “sharing of the blame” is a strong factor in allowing yourself to let it all down and become 100% mob as it were.

But how, though?

::

Turning to Wikipedia, the often spot-on clarifying voice: “Herd mentality, mob mentality or pack mentality describes how people can be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than rational, basis. When individuals are affected by mob mentality, they may make different decisions than they would have individually.”

Yes, I’d say. Putting it mildly.

I think a long, hard look at the upturned, bordering on ecstatic faces admiring (and drinking in) their Messiah during one of these “Lock Her Up” rallies tells the story quite eloquently.

The January 6 mob attack underlines it.

What we don’t know: Exactly how many restaurant workers have been laid off due to the pandemic. New York City, a dining mecca, has about 27,000 eating and drinking establishments that were staffed by over 300,000 people. Restaurants are able to fulfill delivery and takeout orders, but can do so using skeleton crews.

Big number: 50%. That’s how many U.S. companies are considering layoffs, according to a survey released by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the country’s oldest outplacement firm. And the Federal Reserve of St. Louis estimated that 47 million jobs could be lost due to the coronavirus crisis. The numbers come on the heels of the 26 million American workers who filed for unemployment since the crisis began, according to data released Thursday, an all-time high.

Key background: There are now over 979,000 reported coronavirus cases in the U.S. and more than 55,000 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Worldwide cases now amount to over 3 million infected and 209,000 dead. Meanwhile, President Trump signed a coronavirus relief bill into law that provides free testing and paid sick leave, along with a $2 trillion stimulus package and a subsequent $484 billion relief bill. At least 42 states have enacted stay-at-home orders that affect 316 million people or more. Cancelations of concerts, sports leagues, festivals, religious gatherings and other large events have impacted millions of people. President Trump enacted a 30 day travel ban from Europe that sent airlines and travelers scrambling to adjust, before declaring a national state of emergency. Some states, like Georgia, South Carolina, and North Dakota are beginning to ease restrictions, but most health experts agree that social distancing and business shutdowns continue to be necessary to reduce the virus’ spread. But the uncertainty over how and when the entire country—and its citizens—can resume normal life is a specter hanging over businesses, as they decide whether to cut workers.

Okay but how about...

Mr. Krupp writing your name down on a sheet of paperwork, pausing to look at it, then writing it again in the corner of a scrap paper. Soon he is mindlessly writing your name over and over in all the corners of his paperwork. Miss Anthrope is not pleased and asks him to stop. These are important papers to send to the superintendent. Mr. Krupp resorts to using a notebook instead. It is very soon filled to the brim with words of confession and crude drawings of your likeness. He keeps it locked away in a secret drawer of his desk.

Some stupid idea I wanted to do with someone I haven’t drawn in awhile (I missed the fact that the 30th anniversary of the musical on Broadway was this year). I only used the worlds I was familiar with/would work best.

-Dumbledore has no problems hiring people who can’t use magic but ARE familiar with the wizarding world. I only just now realized how hypocritical that was.

-Disgusted by what he had seen (for none of the children were deserving of such a harsh punishment), Erik had every intention of getting rid of Trunchbull. Fortunately a very smart young girl beat him to it without resorting to violence.

-Prufrock Preparatory School was a saner, quieter place without Nero. Count Olaf was presumably next on Erik’s hit list. (Also I don’t know how Nero will look in the show yet.)

-He also encountered a strange girl with nose-bleeding inducing powers and an obsession with waffles. Otherwise he he felt oddly at home in the 80’s.

-Considering what happens when Erik gets mad and what can cause him to get mad, Krupp actually made a good decision that benefitted everyone (and avoided stress over things suddenly falling from the ceiling or people croaking like toads without warning... wait, maybe this MIGHT be someone a certain prankster duo would like). Erik would later laugh until his sides hurt when he found out HOW the music program of that school was able to survive, via a... err, special rendition of the 1812 Overture.

-There were just too many schools over in Japan to choose from, so Erik was sent to the one that was best recommended for him. Yet Korosensei looked into his background and didn’t like how things turned out for poor Christine. I’d imagine that is something he doesn’t want his students to go though, no matter how much help they’d need.

-Regina summed it up best.
