“You want to put EMILY with the first murderer??? Are you out of your Fatherdamn mind? I get he’s your son but Emily deserves better.”

She does NOT condone this.

[high-seraphims]

Kicks open door “Emily! I smell degeneracy!!” Uncle Adam does NOT approve.

"AAaaah!? My door!" What was he here for? What is he saying? Smelling degeneracy? Does it have a distinct smell and why did he smell it here? "What are you doing Adam?" Conveniently, Emily isn't viewing anything degenerate at this moment, now Adam just looks like a fool barging in while she is watching the human realm.

[flowercrxwned]

Oh my! Emily and Cain wasn’t a terrible idea. He needs someone soft to balance him out. Mom approves!

Other ways for your character to say I love you?

Be soft on someone - to love someone or like someone very much

“Be with me, darling, early and late.” —John Frederick Nims, Love Poem

Besotted - to be completely in love with someone and always thinking of them

And it was only when I began to feel actual, physical pain every time you left the room that it finally dawned on me: I was in love, for the first time in my life. I knew it was hopeless, but that didn’t matter to me. And it’s not that I want to have you. All I want is to deserve you. Tell me what to do. Show me how to behave.

“It is time. Many cycles have reached this point, many cycles have ended here. Your true first road block. Blessed be those who utter a solemn prayer in my name, abandon all hope those who tread this ground of times passage. The wake of destruction, coming of end, the souls of many who have tried and failed before you…”

A snap of his fingers and everyone can hear it, everyone can feel it. A new presence. The sky of Heaven and Hell now looks much different. Those who look up, would only see a reflection of where they stood. As if someone placed a mirror that spanned the sky, above them all. And from that reflection comes rain. Large drops of black that slowly formed into creatures, spreading out across Heaven and Hell alike.

“I would introduce you to all of them myself, but… Allow them to introduce themselves…”

One more snap of the fingers and multiple people have swirls of black smoke at their feet, crawling up their forms until they are engulfed in the smoke. It is not meant to harm, it is only meant to move them… The pieces had to be put in the right spots of course, some didn’t need to be moved but most did. Lessons needed to be learned, blood needed to be shed, the name of Big G himself would be spread through his crusade. Chanting. Yelling. Screaming!

Those who moved would soon be introduced to a scene, carefully crafted for them for so long.

This Was the real beginning of the end.

a dowry of blood - s. t. gibson - 5/5

this was a rereaddddddd and it held up! i'll always feel mildly conflicted about alexi's age but its not enough of a hang-up for me to lower my rating. i like this book a lottttt yippee

dune - frank herbert - 1.5/5

guys. i fuckinf. ifucghinh. i did it. i rwad dune. slamsmy head againsy the wall.

i haven't talked about this yet (i think), but i kind of read dune twice? i realized very early on that the physical book wasn't the way to go for me. something about trying to absorb complex information when there's pretty lights and sounds and tiny tiny text on a weirdly shaped object was truly? impossible for me. BUT!! my good friend (hiii king) had given me his special annotated copy so i really wanted to read his thoughts on everything?

anyways, the way i solved this problem was to just... read everything twice. once, physically, as more of a vibes catching heavy skim, and then again, digitally, really trying to understand the minutiae of it.

this approach maybe worked? i still couldn't tell you very much of the plot, but knowing what was coming helped me enjoy it more? idfk

my favorite part wasssss the annex at the end and the chapter where the ecologist dies ❤

(franz please don't be offended by my rating and come to my house and kill me IM SORRY IM BAD AT SCI-FI I STILL LIKED IT)

in at the deep end - kate davies - 2.5/5

meh. writing style was fast paced and interesting, but a little too #qUirKy for me. the author said she was a big fan pf pheobe waller-bridge, and like... yeah you did kind of write knock-off lesbian fleabag didn't you? (to be clear i did enjoy this somewhat, just a perfectly average amount lol.

done deal - skrifores on ao3 - 4/5

woo hoo this was a 50k word modern au gentlebeard fic :3 i feel like 50k is enough to count as a novella? i guess we r tracking long fics too now. um yeah this was very sweeeet and very cuteeeeee

turn on the light - smallest church on ao3 - 5/5

THIS MADE ME TEAR UPPPPPP my babies.... (also a gentlebeard modern au fic but THIS one was 55k. so. yay)

divorce towers - ellen meister - 1/5

yeah idk what i expected. i got a free trial of amazon prime and this looked like the most interesting of the free book options? wish i had dnfed it halfway through but yk. i'm sure its for someone out there.

beastars vol 1 - paru itagaki - 5/5

yayyyy beastars ❤ fun fact i absolutely hated the anime on my first watch but like,,, in that obsessed way yk? rewatched it recently and LOVEDDDD it so i'm making my way through the manga :3

beastars vol 2 - paru itagaki - 5/5

i love to love animal cannibals....

last months goal: find a tbr system that fits my current goals better lmao

i just added a library marker lol. i was gifted a couple books, so my physical tbr got a lil longer. alsoo i keep reading novella/novel length fanfics so i'm tracking those as well heart emoji.

this months goal: read some stuff off of my fall tbr

gang i'm tired. the reading slump has been so real and i KNOW the fall weather is gonna kick my ass. i'd also love to finish a hard book this month but realistically i will read six fanfics and a romance. fml.

[danger-tits-lute]

Lute, are you doing anything special for the holidays?

"Just the normal stuff, I guess. Tree, cookies, presents, lying to our child for the first time, fucking a Santa-shaped general of the exorcist army, and of course whatever shit Emily drags us to for 'community celebrations'." It did feel a little extra special with Piper around, though; that was interesting.

"Oh Cain~"

With the two of them inside Emily's room, hands resting on his chest, nearly up against the bedroom wall as the two are seated on her soft bed. Trailing smooches up his chin and cheek. Those sweet delicate hands rubbing along his upper body. Slowly grasping his shirt to begin pulling it upwards.

[grim-the-embodiment-of-death]

Emily: Adam!

Adam: yeah?

Emily: how old is Grim?

Adam pausing, then taking a deep breath: Grim is really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really...

Grim next to Adam.

Adam! Why you got to do Grim like that! XDXDXDXD

Candlelight was usually so CHEERFUL, OPTIMISTIC, PATIENT. When things went amiss, she’d more often than not find a solution and not stress over the what ifs.

This time was different. This time was different when she had her ENTIRE ARM TAKEN OFF, REDUCED TO A TREMBLING MESS CURLED UP IN HIS SECURE ARMS,

“ I wanted to HELP Charlie! Emily’s doing it too! The Hazbin Hotel needs all the help it can get to promote redemption! How was I supposed to know that that crazy person was going to show up out of nowhere and ruin it?! “

Breaking down, Candle WEPT FOR THE FIRST TIME, SCARED AND IN PAIN.

“ Adam, I…I can’t get my arm back. My wax won’t stick for some reason, I — I don’t know why. Usually I can just REMOLD things, but…I tried, I really tried! It just falls right off! I’m SCARED… “

Hiccuping and sniffling, Candle hid her face into his chest, gripping onto his back with her lone functional hand.

“ Are all sinners THIS DIABOLICAL…? “

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Gertrude Welcker! ❤️

(July 16, 1896 – August 1, 1988)

Gertrude Welcker was a stage and silent film actress; her film career was short lived, lasting from 1917 to 1925. The role she’s best known as, the alluring and enigmatic Countess Dusy Told of Fritz Lang’s 1922 epic crime thriller masterpiece, Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler.

Below is a summary of her life and career, with the people she had collaborated with as an actress.

She was born in Dresden, Saxony, Germany on July 16, 1896. Her younger brother Herbert was born in 1898. Gertrude’s father worked as editor-in-chief and general manager of the Posener Tageblatt, he died in 1909.

During the First World War, she visited Max Reinhardt’s acting school in Berlin. In 1915-16, she had starred in productions at the Albert Theatre in her hometown. During the years of 1916-19, Welcker performed at Deutsches, Kammerspiele, and Volksbühne theatres. Her stage roles include portraying a prostitute in August Strindberg’s Meister Olaf, Lesbia in Friedrich Hebbel's Gyges and His Ring, Recha in Gotthold Ephraim Lessing’s Nathan the Wise, Sister Martha in Gerhart Hauptmann's The Ascension of Little Hannele, and Desdemona and Jessica in William Shakespeare’s Othello and Merchant of Venice respectively.

Her film debut in 1917 was in Felix Basch’s Eine Nacht in der Stahlkammer as Jane Kendall, starring Harry Liedtke as her husband. Her next film was as an angel in Hans Trutz in the Land of Plenty, starring and directed by her stage collaborator Paul Wegener. The film also featured film director Ernst Lubitsch who portrayed Satan.

In 1918, she was in Lupu Pick’s Der Weltspielgel with Bernd Aldor and Reinhold Schünzel. She also starred in Viggo Larsen's The Adventure of a Ball Night with Paul Bildt and Paul Biensfeldt.

Welcker was also in Carl Froelich’s Der Tänzer with Walter Janssen.

She was the lead in the low-budget films, Die Geisha und der Samurai in 1919 and Eine Frau mit Vergangenheit in 1920.

Gertrude Welcker acted in films alongside Conrad Veidt, but those films are sadly considered lost. They portrayed siblings in F.W. Murnau’s Evening – Night – Morning and in Carl Boese’s Nocturne of Love, with Veidt as Frederic Chopin. (I, for one, would’ve loved for her to have been in a film as one of his leading ladies!)

In Hans Werckmeister’s 1920 sci-fi film, Algol: Tragedy of Power, she portrayed Leonore Nissen opposite Emil Jannings. It also starred Hanna Ralph, Hans Adalbert Schlettow (whom Welcker would appear with in Part II of Dr. Mabuse), and John Gottowt. The sets of the film were designed by The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’s Walter Reimann.

She also appeared in Richard Oswald’s Lady Hamilton in 1921 as Arabella Kelly, in her first scene she is seen with Theodor Loos.

In 1922, Welcker portrayed her most infamous role as Countess Told in Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler starring Rudolf Klein-Rogge, with Aud Egede-Nissen, Alfred Abel, and Bernhard Goetzke. Also, in that same year - Welcker was in Carl Froelich’s Luise Millerin, an adaptation of Friedrich Schiller's Intrigue and Love as Lady Emilie Milford, another of her noteworthy roles. Previously, she was in a stage production portraying the role of Lady Milford's maid, Sophie. The film's all-star cast featured Lil Dagover as the title character, Paul Hartmann, Walter Janssen, Friedrich Kühne, Fritz Kortner, Werner Krauss, and Reinhold Schünzel.

She portrayed the villainess Gesine von Orlamünde of Arthur von Gerlach’s 1925 period drama film, Chronicles of the Grey House. It stars Lil Dagover, Paul Hartmann, Rudolf Forster, and Rudolf Rittner. Thea von Harbou was the film’s screenwriter with music composed by Gottfried Huppertz.

Her final film role was in Goetz von Berlichingen of the Iron Hand as Adelheid von Walldorf. She continued to act on stage until 1930. She has a total of 64 film credits to her name.

Around July 1930, Welcker married the Swedish painter Otto Gustaf Carlsund. She met him while on a trip to Paris. Their marriage lasted until August of 1937 and had no children. Before WWII broke out, she worked as an editor for UFA and by 1941, was active for the Red Cross. Some time before the war's end, she managed to leave for Sweden, and lived the rest of her life there.

It’s a great loss that so many of the films Gertrude Welcker did are considered lost and that her career as a film actress was as short as it was. Certainly, that many of those lost films showcased her great versatility. Gertude Welcker carried a remarkable set of talent, grace, beauty, charisma, and wit and is one of my most favorite actresses of the silent era I love.

Her filmography can be viewed here and here.
