Wolfgang Grimmer and his Fantastic friend, The Magnificent Steiner!

[vexture]

Inspired by @unhingedself to do Monster songs, I'm really happy people share the stuff that reminds them of this series, and songs are an immediate catch for me! I wish I could've found ones for some of the others, like Gillen and Roberto, but I'll keep looking :>

I messed up on some of the format but that's okay ^^;; some of these are genres that don't 'match' the person but the lyrics do :3 (not listed for Steiner, Deadeyes by Whitey, I really wanted to put that one there aaa)

no man’s land. | @badheart​

     Wolfgang does not lose control. He groans and broods and slouches with indignance, denying all involvement in murderous activity when officers question his presence at recent crime scenes. He’s very careful about speaking of details and the who’s of what he’s seen, but Wolfgang manages to slip under the radar most times, because it’s not hard to stay hidden in plain sight when you’re a simple man on the streets of Germany. Tokyo treats him like a different beast entirely. He nearly suffocates at the presence of law enforcement and watchful citizen perched at odd corners and streets ends. He can’t breathe. He can’t feed. Wolfgang feels like an animal — all consuming of instinct, want and need to —to feed. He concentrates and finds it’s a lot easier to do so in the black of the alleyway far into a neighborhood so dingy it reeks of urine and beer and — and meth?

     His hand reaches of the wall, fingers gliding between the brick layout. His other hand comes to his face, holding his forehead, thumb barring sharply to his temple. He waits and wants. The smell of blood fills his nose while the almost distinct chatters of men fill the alley. They sneer and laugh, wondering if he’s just a lost foreigner, wondering if he’s got enough cash for another bottle of that retched smelling beer. Wolfgang would love it if they all disappeared and the dark of the alley gave him enough room to breathe — if the alley were long enough to give time for this affliction to pass and not consume him. Wolfgang does not lose control, but he was never that lucky. He remembers his fingers piercing something gooey. The glint of streetlights hit a piece of metal in one of the assailants pockets and lots of screaming. There was a miserable sort of sobbing noise and he was confused since the only one standing seemed to be him in a pool of blood and another presence too overwhelming to ignore. 

     “Long way from the Sky Tree it seems,” Wolfgang mumbles, gaining his bearings. He has a ghost of a smile when she reaches from her gun, amused at the threat knowing he’d just massacred an annoying gaggle of men. “Would you believe I’m not from here? The hospitality didn’t live up to my expectations.” 

     Wolfgang summons the will of smile fully. He breathes deeply and can finally turn to meet the gaze of a woman who at the very least isn’t perturbed by his outburst enough to tremble. Good, he thinks. Someone he can talk to without having to hide that pesky side of him. “Kind of embarrassin’ to be caught in the middle of a tantrum. I don’t usually like travelling to the city often and, well, as you can see there’s a reason,” Wolfgang looks down to the twitching hand of a man way beyond the grave. “Albeit a very dangerous one. You wouldn’t maybe forget I was here, would you... Officer?”

It’s a bold move to add another protagonist at the halfway point but Grimmer is just how to do it. Tenma’s locked into reactivity, he’s earnest and committed to his ideals in a way that can come off as naive or futile. Sliding in the mercurial and independent Grimmer highlights what makes him special while also absolving him of the inner monologue that’s been getting a little tired

A blog for Lolita and Monster related ramblings (more or less chaotic)

Asks are open! Main blog. Can be NSFW.

I won't write "no minors", because, hey, we know you don't give a flying damn about this and that many people read Lolita as early as in their childhood years.

All I can say is: let's do our best to understand Lolita as well as we can. Operating on vibes and generalities can be dangerous.

Edit: added a masterlist

This blog will discuss topics related to child abuse (any form of child abuse, sexual among them).

MASTERLIST:

Rabbit Nabokov, Ruhenheim’s Konrad and Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin

Bonaparta & Věra

The nameless girl who had absolutely nowhere else to go

Let’s talk about Tenma’s mother

The (fictional) girls from Klaus Poppe’s and Humbert Humbert’s pasts

About time, youth, self-reflection and fate in Monster

Monita speedrun

Eva Heinemann and Lolita's Rita

Dieter's and Dolly's fates

TAGS:

monita: everything related to both Monster and Lolita

lolita: only lolita

monster: only monster

insp: inspirations, quotes, moodboards, all that jazz

research: basically notes

tinhats: things I'm embarassed to talk about (is the data enough to back up this wild claim?)

funfacts: did you know Nabokov wrote a poem about Superman? And his Superman reminds me of the Magnificent Steiner.

other nabokovs: Nabokov's other works

other urasawas: Urasawa's other works

other: everything else

FEED ME YOUR FINEST FOODS

you want to consume love. literally. to cut it up with a knife, then stab it with your fork and eat it and let it gather in your belly. to know what it feels like inside of your mouth. and your grandmother always showed it best - food is love is food is love. this is emotion, but represented in a way you understand. a way that you can relate to and, again, consume. it is temporary, but essential. we eat to live, and then we love, but that part can get confusing. but we eat, we all eat. and you might not be able to say 'i love you' in words, but if someone brings you a pie, you can cut yourself a slice and swallow it down and tell them that it tastes really good. you can make sure that they also share a slice. you can see them smile and know that they know that you know. that you did it right this time. i hope you know you're worth a love that exists for longer than the time it takes to eat something. you're worth the words, both said and heard.

WRITE ME YOUR WORDS OF WONDER

you want to be thought of with intent, for someone to sit down and want to share their thoughts with you specifically. and their thoughts about you, even more. for someone to Know you, or at least desire the knowledge. for them to write it out in a way that you can read as quickly or slowly as you desire. that you can reread again and again, or lock in a box and never read after that first quick consumption. you crave that tangibility. and the small moments that lead up to the letter being in your hand. to be told, 'it's in the mail' and then to have the simple joy of checking the mailbox to see if it has come today. to hold the envelope and feel the love within. there is a purpose of intent within physically written words, and it patches the parts of you that feel like you aren't worth thinking about. my darling, know that you are. you are worth intentional thought and cursive letters and an envelope sealed with a kiss.

CRAFT ME A CUNNING CREATION

the power of 'i made this for you' is enough to make your heart ache in the good kind of way. the knowledge that someone sat down, and, with you in mind, they Created. they painted, they knit, they sculpted, they folded. they Created for you. it is something tangible. something that will remain when they have to leave for the night. something that lingers. you can look at it, touch it, and you can know that you were cared for enough to inspire creation. you were the source of someone wanting to make. you were, and you are, and you have proof of it. you have proof that they think of you, proof that they thought. and you're worth it, love, you're inspirational. i hope you have an entire shelf or bookcase filled with proof of being thought of and remembered. filled with tangible evidence of consideration.

Doesn't Stein mean stone in German? Because everytime I hear or read "The Magnificent Steiner" my brain automatically translates it to "The Magnificent Stoner" and I always end up giggling like the idiot I am
