OP: Come experience the gold standard of period drama etiquette and poise as showcased in classic chinese guzhuang dramas

Cnetizens say Zhen Huan is so gorgeous and they are totally obsessed with Lin Daiyu's elegant stair-climbing scene in Dream of the Red Chamber, and they roast today's guzhuang dramas: "Seriously, what's up with all these period romance dramas lately? The actors either have zero poise and presence, or they're so stiff and unnatural like their necks are about to snap from trying too hard."

"Rohkost im Stripclub": Emigrate Interview Richard and Arnaud with EMP Rock Invasion // December 2014

A lovely anon wished for a translation of this, so you'll find it under the cut 📰 Richard again was very lively and used his typical way of speaking with his favorite words (“irgendwie” and “ja” of course). It's always nice to discover patterns 😌

Interviewer: Ladies and gentlemen, Richard Kruspe and Arnaud Giroux. Back then, the first album was created when Richard moved to New York.

Richard: We’ve met there for the first time. We were both in the situation, where we both seemed a little lost, somehow. We both just got married. We both kind of shared the same fate (it does sound like he views marriage a bit as a trap 😄). Everything originated a bit from a sense of frustration, right, from this Rammstein-World, which is closed in itself. And I wanted to break out of it for a while and do things which aren’t possible in the Rammstein-world. Singing, among other things. I always try to explain it with the example of an open source, right, people can come and go how they please – so exactly the opposite of Rammstein.

Interviewer: You have quite a nice list of guests on the album.

Richard: It simply was an interesting journey. For exaample: I actually had an acoustic song, a pure pop sing, and I had no idea what to do with it. I entered the rehearsel room, played it to the people and asked „Hey, what are we going to do with this?“. And the microphone technician just doubled the beat and went for it. We jammed along, and all of the sudden it sounded like a blend of Motörhead and Depeche Mode. And then I wondered „Man, who are you asking?“, right. Dave [Gahan] or Lemmy [Kilmister]? And we decided on Lemmy, yet it turned out pretty quickly that he was extremely ill at that time and cancelled shows. In this context, chances of him singing [for Emigrate] were practically zero.

One morning I was lying in bed and it [his phone] rang, an E-Mail had arrived and I opened it. All of the sudden the track with Lemmy was just there, without any explanation, nothing. And I listened to it and for me, this moment war somehow Christmas and my birthday and Easter mixed together, right? I somehow jumped on my bed and was as happy as a little kid. And that’s a moment you won’t forget, which make you think „That’s what I actually am doing this for!“, right?

Naturally, there are some typical names, right, people you admire. For me, that’s Trent Reznor and Martin Gore and so on. Yet on the other hand, I’d have to start writing songs for them, right? (He means in a sense of since he admires them so much, he actually should use his creativity for them instead for himself). And I actually don’t want to do that. I write songs and when the song comes together, we decide, since I always sing it first and then we decide somehow which voice would be suitable for it. So with Hypothetical, it was really like, when I first heard Fuck, I thought, man, Manson must be singing it, right? And then the drama began.

Arnaud: At first, it was like a misunderstanding, because Richard emailed back and forth with Manson to the point that after a while, Manson was like: „Ok ,but, this song is for you or for my album?“ And Richard was like (*head in hands*) „Dammit, this is for me, this is for my album.“ „Ah ok, ok“, and he listened to the tapes and was like „You know what? It sounds pretty good, like it is you know, like, so what should I do?“ So one day, he came back and I think he wanted to do something different than what Richard was doing on the demo. We were a little bit puzzled by the result, actually it was very, very, very far from what we were expecting. Like we were there and he was like on the other side of the room. We were really hearing his voice on it, but not the way he did it. He was just…went experimental on this one.

Richard: It was somehow possible to explain to him [Manson] that he might have to try again. And I thought about it that the best would be to get him out of his comfort zone, away from his stage, so to speak, right? And put him somewhere where’s no one to play with him. A friend of mind just got a new baby in his family, and this was probably the complete opposite of what he [Manson] experiences on a daily basis and it worked quite well. He went there [to Richard’s friend] and they really worked on that song for 8 hours straight. And as I was listening to the result I said that this was really exactly what I wanted to hear.

Every song has its own story, right? And that’s somehow quite nice to tell it. ‚Get Down‘, for example is a song which originated from… As a rock musician, especially in America, you often get taken to strip clubs, so to speak, right?

Interviewer: Now that’s annoying…

Richard: Yes, that is annoying, since I don’t get the concept of strip clubs. And I don’t drink. So I’m someone who gets bored very easily there, when you look around. And then I though „Man, I’d like to write a song about a strip club.“ When the guys [from Emigrate] listened to the song, they said „Man, that’s gotta be a duet.“ And Arnaud said „What do you think about Peaches? You know?“ And I wasn't really familiar with her work, so I listened to it a bit. And funnily enough, she lived in Berlin at that time, so we called her and then she said, that she’s not interested in the music for now, yet wants to get to know us as people first. And I though „Oh God, how’s that going to work out?“ And then she visited our studio and we talked about raw food and smoothies and stuff like that for an hour. We really liked that for a period of time back then and then she decided that we’re healthy enough. And she stood there and sang the song. No attitude and really cool. And so everyone has their own story.

Arnaud: I also wanted to say, as a guest we have also Richard Kruspe on the album (both Richard and the Interview burst out laughing), but he was so good that we decided to have a few songs with him. So he stayed. No we’re trying to get rid of him, which is very complicated.

Richard: The difficulty in itself is how to manage to get everything done somehow, you know, as a producer. Because I thought „Man, now that you’re having all these singers on that album, maybe it will slowly become a karaoke CD where everyone can sing at some point. How do you manage it to keep the Emigrate sound?“ And somehow, we pulled it off.

We produced albums numerous times and oftentimes you have the feeling like „Ok, I would’ve changed this, and here i’m not really satisfied with.“ Yet this time around, I can say from the bottom of my heart, it’s the first time I wouldn’t want to change a thing. And somehow that’s a feeling of which I think „Wow, cool, you've found your place.

can you give us your tips on malicious compliance

it would look different for everyone depending on their job but a few tips would be interpret any feedback you're given EXTREMELY literally. "communicate more" send 10000 emails a day about useless things. "prioritize ZYX" whenever extra work is being put on your plate, involve your boss/superior in the conversation and say i was told to prioritize ZYX by (boss), looping them in for clarity on how to proceed. stop going above and beyond your job responsibilities—you can't be punished for saying that's not my job if it isn't. stop doing any extra work that you do just to make other people's lives easier (<- i'm very guilty of this and it's becoming VERY apparent to everyone at my company just how much extra work i was doing to keep things moving lmfao). stop being nice, they don't pay you for that.

One thing I find deeply disconcerting about Dream in regards to him saying the r-slur is how I don't think he fully understands. I don't think he understands why it's not okay to use that

Not even like in the calling 15 million people a slur derogatorily sense, because I feel like we talked about that and I'm generally satisfied Dream understands that for now.

I feel like when you say say a slur especially with a platform as large as he has, even if you come out later and you be like, Oh, I'm autistic, do you know who's like going to be made to feel uncomfortable that by that comment? It's going to be disabled people. You're going to be making disabled people feel uncomfortable. You're going to alienate them from your audience.

But you know who's not going to feel uncomfortable? Who might even celebrate you for "being so brave as to speak out against the woke fucking left?" It's going to be ableists. It's going to be the people who say the r-slur derogatorily towards people on the daily. When you alienate the people around you who are uncomfortable with the use of slurs, who do you think are going to be left after that? Ableism is such a prevalent issue in the gaming community. Like, I don't think he understands that saying that kind of stuff creates an echo chamber of alt right people in your audience. It invites alt right people into an audience of. primarily. Primarily. He has a huge audience of neurodivergent people. He really does. And it is ridiculously irresponsible and reckless to invite that kind of behavior into a predominantly neurodivergent and progressive fan base!!!

It makes me so angry to just like see him do. And then say, oh I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that because you know what if it's going to offend people I shouldn't have said it. It's not about you offending people, man. It's about the people you're hurting.

A lot of my gripes with Dream always seem to boil down to he is irresponsible he is with his platform, and this is absolutely no different. pos

A NAME, A STAIN ON REPUTATION

[werewolfsone]

My mental state is not great today. I keep feeling so anxious about the news. Was hoping to do some writing but I'm gonna dive in to my fanfic spreadsheets I think, it's easier to lose myself in them. At least I have a new project to try and share here by next Friday, in addition to my first Fanfic Rec Friday.

Gosh now I want to throw the castelliacone server thing in my AU somewhere.

But YES YES N being able to try things like ice cream and other food they were not able to have. I can imagine N getting teary eyed experiencing all these wonderful things they never got to. There are so many theories that can be developed on what N was actually permitted to eat.

I read a story where N was only allowed to drink water as Ghetsis told N kings do not drink soda and juice.

And since according to the manga N was taken in but would be let out, perhaps that is what N has to do, work at the castelliacone stand. But I can still see some people hesitant to buy anything because of N's involvement.

Zoroark wants to help N so he would disguise himself as a customer and buy something from N so people could see it was not a trick by Plasma.

N would also want to experiment and try to make new sundaes.

Oog so many ideas are forming

YESSS ALL OF THIS!!!!

thinking about how a few years ago, i was recommended for this conservative political office job around here that would've paid life-changing salary to me but i was & still am too principled to accept something like that. wasn't just 'oh my boss is a repub but the job has nothing to do w his beliefs' i wouldve been voluntarily contributing to local campaign material and that flies in the face of everything i strive towards ...
