Midnight Pals: Velvet Night

Silvia Moreno-Garcia: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the velvet night Moreno-Garcia: i mean the night that is velvet Moreno-Garcia: the night that was velvet Moreno-Garcia: i mean velvet was the night Moreno-Garcia: yeah that sounds good Moreno-Garcia: let's go with that

Moreno-Garcia: this story takes place in the 1970s Moreno-Garcia: in america, a time of disco and bell bottom pants Moreno-Garcia: but in Mexico Moreno-Garcia: a time of turmoil

Moreno-Garcia: this was during the time of the dirty war Moreno-Garcia: a time of government repression Moreno-Garcia: when they banned rock music for being too subversive Koontz: OMG! like in footloose?! Moreno-Garcia: exactly like in footloose Moreno-Garcia: except that they were also killing people

King: you know, i know a little about this myself King: being a musician and all King: i know what it's like to tweak the noses of the establishment King: and run afoul of the town fathers Moreno-Garcia:

King: yep yep seems The Man didn't appreciate our rebellious, antiauthoritarian attitude Barker: to be clear Barker: you're talking about your time with the rockbottom remainders King: oh yeah we were quite the fearless truth tellers Moreno-Garcia: that is not the same thing at all

Moreno-Garcia: in the midst of all this, there's this incredibly basic secretary Moreno-Garcia: she spends all her time reading adventure thriller comics Moreno-Garcia: but when she gets involved in a real life adventure thriller Moreno-Garcia: she's about to find out that being in an adventure thriller isn't everything it's cracked up to be

Moreno-Garcia: this secretary is always reading pulp romance comics Mary Shelley: comics? Shelley: sounds like a nerd Moreno-Garcia: you don't like nerds? Shelley: no Shelley: no i don't Shelley: kinda my thing, really Shelley: not liking nerds

Barker: mary isn't percy a nerd? Shelley: you take that back or i'll fuckin end you barker Shelley: don't think i won't Barker: [sweats] i Barker: [sweating intensifies] i would never think that, mary

Moreno-Garcia: this secretary suddenly finds herself caught up in government intrigue Moreno-Garcia: with sexy results Moreno-Garcia: when she's asked to pet sit the cat of a student revolutionary Junji Ito: oh no i hope the cat is ok Poe: yeah the cat better be ok Lovecraft: i too am concerned about this cat

Moreno-Garcia: the cat's not really the important part Junji Ito: b-but the cat Ito: cats are god's perfect little gentlemen Ito: [crying] i would die for my cat Moreno-Garcia:

Moreno-Garcia: stop fixating on the cat! Moreno-Garcia: the cat is not the issue! Moreno-Garcia: the issue is the government violence Ito: i'd feel better if i knew the cat was going to be ok Ursula Vernon: see, there's an easy way to avoid all this

You look so gorgeous as you smile darling, but there's violence in your beauty- it sparks electricity that races through my bones.

Today I found at that there is a disturbingly large group of people who don’t know that “Lenore’s ballad” is actually “The raven” by Edgar Allan Poe. They think Suzanne made it up 😭.

John Barrymore (1882-1942), ''The Cosmopolitan'', Vol. 33, #5, Sept. 1902

Two things: 1) The artist, John Barrymore, had a short-lived career as an illustrator before becoming an actor (as he put it, "succumbing to the family curse, acting.") Barrymore is part of a family legacy of actors and is actor Drew Barrymore's grandfather (I think I got that right). 2) This is an illustration for 'The Canonic Curse' by Arthur E. McFarlane. As an editor of Cosmopolitan put it, "One does not often find a story which seems to come in the classification of Edgar Allan Poe's best work. Yet one might be tempted to risk the asking of such a place for "The Canonic Curse".

Untitled Goose game but your tasks are all from Edgar Allan Poe stories. Brick an oblivious man into a wall. Bury this mutilated corpse in the floorboards. Break into a gala and kill everyone with the plague

Telltale Heart valentine

[ID: Animated gif of a pop up card. A man sits at a table with his head in his hand, glaring down at the floorboards. As the card's pull tab is pulled the floorboards open and close reveling a heart underneath. Text above the scene reads "Thinking of You"]

There are moments I want to squeeze out every trace of you from me and then there are decades when I pour into me, a little more of your memories, and fill myself with it.
