[ID: screenshot taken from an active canvas in the art program Fire Alpaca. The drawing shown is on a transparent canvas in thin black lines. depicts two men, both vampires. on the left, a muscular man with a layered, choppy hairstyle stands wearing no shirt, only sweatpants. he also has freckles, lots of body hair, moles, very large scars, a cut off piece from his ear, and a large hairy birthmark on his abdomen. he is smiling and flexing his left arm. On the right, is another man, this one hunched over and hanging on the flexed arm of the other. He is very thin, with less but still visible body hair, also wearing no shirt just sweatpants. his ear is in tact, and he is looking up to his husband. it is apparent via two fang puncture marks on the larger man's arm, and blood running down the thinner man's lip, that he has taken a drink from him. they are in love.

Old Vienna

Wien 1, Singerstrasse 10/8/6 Anno 1910

Erstes Haus links: "Zum Steinernen Rössel"

Singerstraße, einheitlich benannt 1862. Die Singerstraße ist bereits 1267 als Sulcherstraße beziehungsweise 1276 und 1285 als Sunchingerstraße sowie um 1300 als Schulchingerstraße nachweisbar (wahrscheinlich ist der [teilweise verballhornte] Name von einer Familie Sünchinger abzuleiten). Nach dem hier erbauten Deutschordenshaus führte die Singerstraße eine zeitlang auch den Namen Deutschherrenstraße. Im 14. Jahrhundert finden wir die Singerstraße unter den Bezeichnungen Sunhingerstraße (1352), Suningerstraße (1377) und in anderen Schreibvarianten. Für das Teilstück zwischen Riemergasse und Seilerstätte findet sich im 18. Jahrhundert und bis 1862 der Name Filzgasse (1). Die Singerstraße mündete bis 1866 direkt in die Kärntner Straße, da der Stock-im-Eisen-Platz bis dahin kleiner war beziehungsweise die auf dem Areal von Nr. 3 (heute Equitablepalais) befindlich gewesenen kleinen Häuschen um ein beträchtliches Stück weiter nach Norden vorgebaut waren. Die Singerstraße besitzt noch heute eine bedeutende Zahl alter Gebäude (den ältesten Baukern weist der Fähnrichhof auf); dass sie an der Stadtmauer endete (hier befand sich kein Stadttor), minderte ihre Bedeutung.Nummer 6: Im Vorgängerhaus befand sich die Weinschenke des Achatius Lenkey, später das Bierhaus "Zum Reichsapfel" (in dem Franz Schubert mit seinem Freundeskreis oft einkehrte).Nummer 8: 1911 wurde an dieser Stelle nach Plänen von Rudolf Erdös ein Wohn- und Geschäftshaus errichtet.Nummer 10 (Liliengasse 1): Hier stand ein Haus, das sich ab 1510 im Besitz des Humanisten Cuspinian befand (Zum weißen Rössel); es fiel mit zahlreichen anderen Gebäuden 1525 dem Stadtbrand zum Opfer. 1912 wurde nach Plänen von Karl und Wilhelm Schön ein Neubau errichtet. Ebenerdig befand sich das von Hans Prutscher gestaltete Dom-Café

Album Review: Achatius - Funereal Presence

Album Review: Achatius – Funereal Presence

The black metal scene in 2019 seems to be doing well, at least if you look into the number of album releases alone. Unfortunately, the quantity very rarely equals quality. Bandwagons are easy to jump on, and labels only enhance the saturating effect by signing bands that are easy to access for the audience. Hip and trendy. Following the popular consensus of what is right and what is wrong in…

my ocs Osbert and Achatius back when Achatius was still a human, when they used to lie together until he went to sleep.

St. Achatius, Martyr - A Fourteen Holy Helper - May 8

Saint Acatius, from Cappodocia, was a Roman soldier, a captain in the army during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. One day, while on a campaign with his troops, he heard a voice saying, “Call on the God of the Christians.” He responded immediately to this grace. He sought instruction in the Faith and was baptized. After this, he tried to convert those under his command. Hearing of this the emperor cast him into prison, tortured him on the rack, and had him scourged. Having survived this, he was handed over to a tribune named Bibianus. Asked his name he said, “My name is Christian, because I am a follower of Christ.” He was beaten with clubs and, after seven days in another prison, he was transported to Byzantium covered with wounds. While on this journey a consoling voice was heard from the clouds, “Acatius be firm.” The soldiers heard it and were terrified. Many fellow prisoners, who heard the voice, were converted. Finally, after angels healed his wounds, he was beheaded. The year was 303. He is invoked against headaches.
