Gefriergemeinschaften

Beim Eisessen mit der Verwandtschaft kommt das Gespräch auf Kühltechnik.

Gretel C: Wir hatten früher auch eine Gemeinschaftsanlage. Da hat niemand eine Gefriertruhe gehabt. Die war oben im Salzstadel. Das haben alle Orte gehabt, eine gemeinsame Gefrieranlage.

Dieses Haus habe ich im Herbst 2022 im hessischen Rabenau fotografiert. Es ist keins der Gebäude, von denen die Verwandtschaft erzählt, sondern dient hier nur der Illustration. Die abgebildete Gefrieranlage wurde Ende 2008 abgeschaltet.

Detail aus dem oberen Foto

Kathrin: Wann war das ungefähr?

Gretel: Wie wir hergezogen sind, hat’s immer noch eine gemeinschaftliche Gefrieranlage in W. gegeben und in H. gegeben, da hat niemand eine Gefriertruhe gehabt. Bestenfalls noch einen Kühlschrank, das war aber auch schon der Gipfel des Wohlstands.

Trudi P.: Den Frigo hat’s gegeben in der Schweiz, das Kasterl, das draußen hängt, also in den Skiorten überall.

Franziska Nyffenegger und Lukas Imhof, die Schweiz-Fachleute des Techniktagebuchs, können dieser Beschreibung nicht direkt einen Gegenstand zuordnen. Ich werde bei Gelegenheit Näheres erfragen.

Werner C.: Im Salzstadel waren zwei Kühlräume eingerichtet, und da hat die Gemeinde ...

Kathrin: Da hat man ein Fach gemietet?

Gretel: Na die Bauern, wenn du eine Kuh schlachtest, dann hast du ja einen Haufen Fleisch.

Kathrin: Wie groß war das Fach, das man da hatte?

Gretel: Frag mich was Leichteres.

Kathrin: Also ihr hattet keins?

Gretel: Das bisserl Fleisch, was wir gehabt haben.

Kathrin: Also es war was, was nur die Bauern für Schlachtung und so genutzt haben. Und konnte man da dann jederzeit wieder rein?

Werner: Da hatte glaub ich jeder einen Schlüssel. Zu jeder Zeit konnte jeder rein.

Kathrin: Und wann war das ungefähr?

Werner: Nach dem Krieg.

"1958 zählte man in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland etwa 5.500 Gemeinschaftsgefrieranlagen mit circa 207.000 Fächern.” (Wikipedia: Gefriergemeinschaft)

Kathrin: Was war der Salzstadel überhaupt?

Werner: Das große Gebäude links von der Straße. Zufällig war das Gebäude frei und da ist das unten eingebaut worden. In anderen Dörfern war das irgendwo in irgendeinen Stall eingebaut.

Kathrin: Und wann ist das wieder aus der Mode gekommen?

Werner: Mit den Kühlschränken, ganz einfach. Da kamen dann die Kühlschränke ... Ende der 50er Jahre.

Gretel: Auf Campingplätzen hat’s auch Gefrierfächer gegeben.

Kathrin: Ja, vom Campingplatz her kenn ich das.

Trudi: Das war eine große Gefriertruhe, und da hat man kleine Gefriereinheiten reingetan und die dann wieder ins Zelt mitgenommen, um das Zeug zu kühlen.

Richard K.: Also wir sind jeden Morgen zur Brauerei zu einer festen Zeit, da gab’s so ein Ausgabefach, das hat furchtbar gerumpelt, und dann kam ein Haufen Eis raus.

Trudi: Das war bei uns auch noch in H. am Anfang.

Gretel: Für die Eismaschin, das hat man auch geholt bei den Stellagen, wo sie Eis gemacht haben, im Bad* ... und die hat man nachher geholt, die hat man in die Maschin, rühren, rühren, stundenlang rühren, hast ein Eis gehabt. Das war der Höhepunkt des Sommers.

* Das alte Freibad von H. war der von der örtlichen Brauerei angelegte Teich, aus dem man im Winter Eis für die Bierkühlung gewann, mehr dazu unter de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiswerk. Die Stellagen waren Holzgestelle, über die Wasser geleitet wurde, siehe de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisgalgen.

Richard: Das hatten wir auch, so ein Rührfaß und außenrum kamen Eisbrocken und Salz rein.

Dieses Gespräch musste stark überarbeitet und kondensiert werden, vor allem handelte es nämlich vom Eisessen. Das verzehrte Eis stammt aus dem Gefrierschrank im Keller, einem Elektrogerät mit Schubladen, das dort vermutlich seit den 1980er Jahren steht.

Werner: Und jetzt möcht ich endlich ein Lob, dass ich euch so ein gutes Eis serviert hab.

Kathrin: Genauso gut wie gestern.

Trudi: Aber meine Zähne frieren mehr als gestern.

Werner (zufrieden): Ich hab keine eigenen mehr, das überträgt sich nicht.

there's nothing quite like a random piece of media you consumed ages ago and loved at the time but kinda forgot about after coming back to you years later absolutely out of nowhere like "you thought you could forget about me? don't worry! i'm here to be the only thing you care about yet again" and then the cycle repeats

it's fun but also painful because the intensity of the obsession revived makes it hard to focus on anything else like someone get these fictional people out of my head please

Just another Richard Siken fandom post

I gave a credit in the comic but the colors got fucked and its not very readable. The poem is Turpentine, one of my favorites. It fits them so well I just had to make something with it

[Image description: a collection of ten texts mostly on backgrounds.

1:”Why make a map? Why do anything at all? Not how, because hows are easy, series or sequence, one foot after the other, but existentially why bother, what does it solve? Well, if you don’t need to, don’t. Wouldn’t that be great? Just don’t make anything. The world is full of things already, the world is vast and wide and full of grace, and you will always be given the benefit of the doubt. Except that isn’t true now, is it? Fact is, the world is full of things that are trying to kill you. We do not walk through a passive landscape.”

2: “God, God, what do I do after all this survival?”

3: “I wonder / what it would have felt like to / have a choice, to choose love, / to hold anything with both hands. / It’s taken me this long / to say I want I want I want,”

4: “I have belonged to you since the beginning of time.”

5: “...perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.”

6: “‘Worried about…me?’ ‘Well, yeah.’ ‘Oh.’ Jack sat there for a while. ‘I like it,’ he admitted. ‘You can keep doing it if you’d like.’”

7: “But I do feel strange-almost unearthly. I’ll never get used to being alive. It’s a mystery. Always startled to find I’ve survived.”

8: “I know what you planned, what you meant to do, teaching me to love the world, making it impossible to turn away completely, to shut it out completely ever again- it is everywhere; when I close my eyes, birdsong, the scent of lilac in early spring, scent of summer roses:”

9: “I kneel into a dream where I am good & loved. I am good. I am loved.”

10: “And love isn’t a fact. It's a hunch at first. And then later it’s a series of decisions, a lifetime of decisions. That’s love.” End ID.]

One NSFW hc for (almost) every character // Part one

Notes: This was my attempt at a solution for writer's block. Let's hope it worked. Also I will NOT be writing a headcanon for Jerry later on because he was a real guy and that feels.. Weird.

Word count: 789

Richard Haywood

Absolute whore at every turn or time. Oh, you're away and in class, not paying attention to your phone? Well, look at that. There's an unsolicited dick pic from Richard's contact. That, or you and whoever you're showing something to is getting an eyeful of sexts that are meant to piss you off. That, or you're going to hear all about when he snuck off to go fuck either Justin or some random girl, all to get you jealous. When pissed off during an argument, Richard probably will grab you by the throat or shoulders and lick your face out of some strange, gay little impulse. What a weirdo.

Henry Letham

A lot of painplay with Henry is expected. He'll often cry during sex and needs both a cigarette and a minute to himself. By the time you come back to check on him with a warm rag and towel, he's quiet and there's another burn to his skin. It isn't that Henry hates the touch or attention- He's just overwhelmed at sudden want and tends to overthink things. Henry often backs himself into a corner on accident, and a bit of reassurance is all that's needed to help him, even if it seems like he's not listening or doesn't respond. Henry tends to remember every little thing about you and what you do, keeping it in mind for if he ever needs that information again. Severe thigh kink. Likes fucking your thighs, painting them, and touching them. Looks yummy in thigh highs as well.

Officer K

Considering that he's a robot, there's so much potential here. His dick vibrates, for one, and his cum is just neon colored lube. It takes a little while for him to get hard, and a fuck ton of stimulation is going to be needed. K also prefers sleepy sex, being able to hold you and have his cock warmed while the two of you just quietly unwind in one another's presence. He also enjoys long, hot showers with you for the same reason of getting to relax and being able to feel you close to him. You'll often cockwarm him while he works, especially when you're both not feeling particularly up to actually fucking. Sex with K is rare, and when it does ever happen, he takes his time.

Colt Seavers

Thick, tall, and heavy. Hoooh boy, Colt is big. He's muscular in his arms and thighs, with a belly and hip dips. Colt has a lot of hair, as well, and you best believe it's long and messy. He's so warm. Colt also has to eat a lot to maintain his energy, and his metabolism is high. He's the one who introduced food play into the bedroom, liking how it combined many of his interests. Colt loves it when you ride him. He knows he barely fits, and foreplay is always needed before anything happens between the two of you. Sex usually ends in him getting overly excited and a little rough. Colt falls asleep pretty quickly afterwards, and needs a little help staying awake long enough for Aftercare.

Noah Calhoun

Smells like pine, tree sap, and sawdust. Expect long, slow, and sleepy sex on the couch with a blanket thrown over the two of you. He usually does this with you late at night or in the afternoon, when neither of you have responsibilities. He likes moving your hips while you bury your face in his neck. That, or fucking you to sleep until he's too tired to keep going. Constantly touching you, whether that be your hips or tracing patterns into your skin or simply holding you. Noah likes feeling strong, and often carries you around the house for fun all while making excuses. The floor’s too cold for your feet, you'll freeze to death! even though it's hot as hell outside. Also makes excuses to take care of you at all times. You're getting his god awful ‘random things found in the fridge’ soup when sick whether you like it or not.

Julian Thompson

Number one bondage fan right here. Julian likes the restraint put upon either you, or himself. He feels safe when you tie him up, and revels in the rare control he can get when you're tied up instead. It's a common joke that Julian sits in the corner and stays quiet, but the cuck chair was made for him. You're usually tying him to the chair while he watches you touch yourself, or touching him while he's restrained. Julian also isn't opposed to you leaving him with just a vibrator for hours at a time, as well as having a cock cage outside of the bedroom. He feels secure whenever he's restrained.

Dave K in the Q&A: yeah we originally had a plan for Diggle and Wall to start out as enemies who turn into rivals and eventually become friends as they work together to feed the men on the Expedition but we had to cut it for time me: omg Diggle/Wall enemies-to-lovers real actually
