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.

To say an Aspec person's life is wasted because they lack an interest in [sex/romance/platonic relationships]* is like saying an evergreen tree has wasted its life for refusing to grace its branches with apples
*(respect aros, aces, and aplatonic folk equally or taste my blade)

trigun really said what if a pair of twin nuclear weapons with feelings and free will were raised with love and one of them grew full of that love and and the other grew to hate everything the first one loves but love the first himself, and the humans that the first one loves saw the second as a god even though he wished nothing more than to destroy them, but saw the first one as a disastrous force even though he's only ever wanted to protect them, and they were proven right only because the second's love language is making the first one's life among humans unliveable by forcing him to destroy what he holds most dear and making the humans he holds dear hurt him in an attempt to make him join him in his hatred, but there's no place for hatred where grief goes hand in hand with love and love translates to kindness, which is also the only viable way to grieve since forgetting is too sorrowful but remembering is unbearable, so all he can do with his guilt is keep being kind? also he's like 160 years old and still can't drive

wow. first positive COVID test (I don't really believe it's the first time I've had it; that seems staggeringly unlikely)
that's. unfun but also surreal. I feel exactly like I do when struck with bad allergies or the Generic Moderate 36-Hour Throat Crud I've gotten pretty often since childhood. to the point where I was so sure the test would be negative, I took an extra one just from sheer surprise. I had more symptoms induced by the test swab up my nose- coughing and sneezing and such -than I've had all day
and this is why we always test when we feel under the weather, kids! better to have it be Just Allergies and know, than to inadvertently go about while covidious
(also why we vax up. I'd rather have a mild case- which seems to be the way of things so far, knock on wood -than something worse. and this is my first positive test in four pandemic years of working with the public, testing every time I have respiratory symptoms)
