On May 28, 1914, the Institut für Schiffs-und Tropenkrankheiten (Institute for Maritime and Tropical Diseases, ISTK) in Hamburg began operations in a complex of new brick buildings on the bank of the Elb. The buildings were designed by Fritz Schumacher, who had become the Head of Hamburg’s building department (Leiter des Hochbauamtes) in 1909 after a “flood of architectural projects” accumulated following the industrialization of the harbor in the 1880s and the “new housing and working conditions” that followed. The ISTK was one of these projects, connected to the port by its [...] mission: to research and heal tropical illnesses; [...] to support the Hamburg Port [...]; and to support endeavors of the German Empire overseas.

First established in 1900 by Bernhard Nocht, chief of the Port Medical Service, the ISTK originally operated out of an existing building, but by 1909, when the Hamburg Colonial Institute became its parent organization (and Schumacher was hired by the Hamburg Senate), the operations of the ISTK had outgrown [...]. [I]ts commission by the city was an opportunity for Schumacher to show how he could contribute to guiding the city’s economic and architectural growth in tandem, and for Nocht, an opportunity to establish an unprecedented spatial paradigm for the field of Tropical Medicine that anchored the new frontier of science in the German Empire. [...]

[There was a] shared drive to contribute to the [...] wealth of Hamburg within the context of its expanding global network [...]. [E]ach discipline [...] architecture and medicine were participating in a shared [...] discursive operation. [...]

---

The brick used on the ISTK façades was key to Schumacher’s larger Städtebau plan for Hamburg, which envisioned the city as a vehicle for a “harmonious” synthesis between aesthetics and economy. [...] For Schumacher, brick [was significantly preferable] [...]. Used by [...] Hamburg architects [over the past few decades], who acquired their penchant for neo-gothic brickwork at the Hanover school, brick had both a historical presence and aesthetic pedigree in Hamburg [...]. [T]his material had already been used in Die Speicherstadt, a warehouse district in Hamburg where unequal social conditions had only grown more exacerbated [...]. Die Speicherstadt was constructed in three phases [beginning] in 1883 [...]. By serving the port, the warehouses facilitated the expansion and security of Hamburg’s wealth. [...] Yet the collective profits accrued to the city by these buildings [...] did not increase economic prosperity and social equity for all. [...] [A] residential area for harbor workers was demolished to make way for the warehouses. After the contract for the port expansion was negotiated in 1881, over 20,000 people were pushed out of their homes and into adjacent areas of the city, which soon became overcrowded [...]. In turn, these [...] areas of the city [...] were the worst hit by the Hamburg cholera epidemic of 1892, the most devastating in Europe that year. The 1892 cholera epidemic [...] articulated the growing inability of the Hamburg Senate, comprising the city’s elite, to manage class relationships [...] [in such] a city that was explicitly run by and for the merchant class [...].

In Hamburg, the response to such an ugly disease of the masses was the enforcement of quarantine methods that pushed the working class into the suburbs, isolated immigrants on an island, and separated the sick according to racial identity.

In partnership with the German Empire, Hamburg established new hygiene institutions in the city, including the Port Medical Service (a progenitor of the ISTK). [...] [T]he discourse of [creating the school for tropical medicine] centered around city building and nation building, brick by brick, mark by mark.

---

Just as the exterior condition of the building was, for Schumacher, part of a much larger plan for the city, the program of the building and its interior were part of the German Empire and Tropical Medicine’s much larger interest in controlling the health and wealth of its nation and colonies. [...]

Yet the establishment of the ISTK marked a critical shift in medical thinking [...]. And while the ISTK was not the only institution in Europe to form around the conception and perceived threat of tropical diseases, it was the first to build a facility specifically to support their “exploration and combat” in lockstep, as Nocht described it.

The field of Tropical Medicine had been established in Germany by the very same journal Nocht published his overview of the ISTK. The Archiv für Schiffs- und Tropen-Hygiene unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Pathologie und Therapie was first published in 1897, the same year that the German Empire claimed Kiaochow (northeast China) and about two years after it claimed Southwest Africa (Namibia), Cameroon, Togo, East Africa (Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda), New Guinea (today the northern part of Papua New Guinea), and the Marshall Islands; two years later, it would also claim the Caroline Islands, Palau, Mariana Islands (today Micronesia), and Samoa (today Western Samoa).

---

The inaugural journal [...] marked a paradigm shift [...]. In his opening letter, the editor stated that the aim of Tropical Medicine is to “provide the white race with a home in the tropics.” [...]

As part of the institute’s agenda to support the expansion of the Empire through teaching and development [...], members of the ISTK contributed to the Deutsches Kolonial Lexikon, a three-volume series completed in 1914 (in the same year as the new ISTK buildings) and published in 1920. The three volumes contained maps of the colonies coded to show the areas that were considered “healthy” for Europeans, along with recommended building guidelines for hospitals in the tropics. [...] "Natives" were given separate facilities [...]. The hospital at the ISTK was similarly divided according to identity. An essentializing belief in “intrinsic factors” determined by skin color, constitutive to Tropical Medicine, materialized in the building’s circulation. Potential patients were assessed in the main building to determine their next destination in the hospital. A room labeled “Farbige” (colored) - visible in both Nocht and Schumacher’s publications - shows that the hospital segregated people of color from whites. [...]

---

Despite belonging to two different disciplines [medicine and architecture], both Nocht and Schumacher’s publications articulate an understanding of health [...] that is linked to concepts of identity separating white upper-class German Europeans from others. [In] Hamburg [...] recent growth of the shipping industry and overt engagement of the German Empire in colonialism brought even more distant global connections to its port. For Schumacher, Hamburg’s presence in a global network meant it needed to strengthen its local identity and economy [by purposefully seeking to showcase "traditional" northern German neo-gothic brickwork while elevating local brick industry] lest it grow too far from its roots. In the case of Tropical Medicine at the ISTK, the “tropics” seemed to act as a foil for the European identity - a constructed category through which the European identity could redescribe itself by exclusion [...].

What it meant to be sick or healthy was taken up by both medicine and architecture - [...] neither in a vacuum.

Write seven ships, add one song you associate with each, and why, and tag seven people

OUHH interesting 👀

1) Javi/Amelia: Don’t Take the Money by Bleacers

The “you steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it, your hand forever is all I want” line feels very them. If Javi and Amelia were a Netflix rom-com, this would be THE soundtrack.

2) Sky/Z: Crash and Burn by Savage Garden

This is THEIR song for me. “Let me be the one you call, if you jump, I’ll break your fall”. It just feels them.

3) Calvin/Preston: Zehen by Mitraz

The way the two boys singing it are so very blue/yellow coded, and one of them FEELS very Preston + the “Hoya pehli baari ishq sajna de naaal” line :3

4) Jake/Emma: Hey Leonardo (She Likes me for me) by Blessid Union of Souls

This one MV just melted me. “She likes me for me. Not because I’m such a hottie I’m like the cable guy— what does she see?”

5) Blaze/Roxy: Teeth by 5 Seconds of Summer

Villain couple?! BEST FEELS?! Only the avatar versions 😈 “look so pretty but you love to sweet. Talk so retty, but your heart got teeth”

6) Fern/Izzy: You be Love by Avicii, Billy Raffoul

“You could be my sunlight, I’d be your dawn” they’re complements to each other, one doesn’t feel complete without the other. This song shows that :3

7) Billy/Skull: Stargazing by Kygo, Justin Jesso

“And I will still be here, stargazing, I still look up for love” it feels like something from Skull’s perspective, after he and billy split up, Back in middle school, and continues all the way to Highschool. And maybe they get back together. It feels so hopeful😭

i just noticed something and i wanna point it out so itll bother you too /silly

throughout most of tts in 2 part eps its titled with the normal title, and then "(Part I of II)" or "(Part II of II)" after

except for cassandras revenge and plus est en vous

the most annoying thing is that the inconsistencies arent even consistent within themselves

like 13 and 14 use roman numerals for the first part but then regular numbers for the rest?? but all the other episodes use only roman numerals

anyway do you remember which episode has the hot cocoa thing its very important and for scientific reasons (m gonna try ta memorize the scene) :P

uhh wait i need an actual question dont i

umm

whats your favorite font?

ASDFKH that will annoy me but there's another fun fact under my belt!!

I actually don't know what episode it is but i can recite so. much. of that entire scene. hang on i'll try to find it

oooh um. i really like handwriting fonts, not sure which one is my favorite specifically. i also love the death note font!!

[sky-fire-forever]

Alright, I'm gonna talk about my Tangled: The Series OC because I want to!

Meet Myriam!

Picrew credit: https://picrew.me/image_maker/1322863/

https://picrew.me/image_maker/332600

Myriam was once a criminal. In fact, she still is a criminal. It wasn't her original plan, but it's something she did and came to enjoy.

She became a criminal as a teenager. She is Deaf and comes from a Deaf family outside of Corona. While ableism is considerably less of a thing in this universe when compared to our own, Myriam still struggled to find work that would provide for her family. Hence, her turn to a criminal career.

Among thieves, she was respected. She was skilled at what she did and everyone had their own baggage. When she taught them the version of sign language that was passed through her family, they learned. She became quite notorious.

While a thief, she met Lady Caine. Lady Caine respected her, spoke well of her, and was beautiful. The two of them bonded and began a relationship of sorts.

Until Lady Caine betrayed her to save her own skin.

Myriam, betrayed, was arrested and thrown into jail. The same jail a certain Lance Strongbow found himself in.

The two helped each other escape and became quite close. When Lance went back to Eugene, Myriam went with him.

She found Eugene to be charming and handsome, often teasing him and flirting with him. She loved to fluster him.

Upon meeting Rapunzel, Myriam was honestly pissed at how much she liked the girl. Rapunzel was sweet and adorable and so enthusiastic. She was a ray of sunshine who Myriam couldn't help but like.

But Rapunzel was the princess.

And Myriam hates the monarchy.

That's the basic idea of Myriam I have. I'm playing with the idea of her being somewhere on the aromantic spectrum. She has a very intense relationship with Lance that isn't quite romantic, but isn't quite platonic. She develops something similar with Eugene and eventually Rapunzel. She's not a huge fan of Cassandra, but does find her cute.

the more i think about it the more im convinced the way to fix the luthor retcon is just "using the female characters". that's it. we bring in the contessa (say she duped westfield by putting lex luthor's dna in there, somehow, and this is the actual retcon part. it's smaller, and doesn't contradict rots), say that it was some secret plan of hers that never came to fruition. then we get lex being as blindsided by it as kon, and we get the contrast in how he treats baby lena vs how he treats kon (his child vs a failed tool that's nothing to him now). and we can keep the superfam as a found family, with clark, the steels, and the eradicator all reaffirming their love for kon, regardless of whose 0.01% of human dna was used to stabilize him. AND we can keep his eventual bond with lori luthor. best of both worlds!

bam!!! fixed!!! luthor retcon, now with 100% less eugenics, and 100% more of keeping kon's original scifi themes and strong feelings on personhood and conflicted feelings on how he yearns for a family!! that's it babey!!! it could've been that easy!!! the key is just... its the female characters. it's the female characters!!!!

Watching Peter Murphy within almost breathing distance while performing with Bauhaus on their first US gig at Tier 3, New York on Sept. 5, 1980, in support of their debut album 'In the Flat Field', as captured by Eugene Merinov.

Upon arriving at The Iroquois Hotel in NY for their first US tour, the band was all fired up and excited to hit the town for some NY nightclubbing, all but one who preferred to have a quiet night in: Daniel Ash decided to grab a quiet drink in the hotel bar, where, to his astonishment, got to meet two of his all-time heroes, Mick Ronson & Iggy Pop, and also got invited up to his room for a little party. He eventually handed them a copy of their single, “Terror Couple Kill Colonel”. Iggy actually attended their gig at Danceteria one week later and as Kevin Haskins recalls in his book 'Bauhaus Undead':

"...A few numbers in and I hear a heckler yelling loudly above the music and can hear Peter giving back as good as he’s getting. As Peter moved to the right, I looked for the heckler and saw a guy jostling about down the front wearing a motorcycle jacket. It was Iggy Pop! The gig continued with Iggy and Pete launching verbal missiles at each other throughout our set. Afterwards, Iggy came backstage and congratulated us on a great show! He explained that he had a driver outside, and told him he’d only be about 10 minutes, but as we were so good he decided to stay the entire set ... then he was off to some “dark and dangerous S&M club,” and then disappeared into the night..."

***This remarkable photo was sourced from the FB page of former hc punk vocalist Eddie Morgan (Condemned To Death, Ice 9, Balls of Steel), who is also captured in this one (the second kid off the wall), but there are more pix from that particular Bauhaus gig on Eugene Merinov's Flickr photostream.

How about lookism boys shopping with his girl. Must include Gun and Eugene!

Hey anon, I've done a shopping headcanons here for Johan, Gun, Jake, Goo! But 2 lil scenes with Gun and Eugene :)

Shopping with your boyfriend: Gun Park, Eugene

Gun Park x Reader

Gun sometimes worries about his own sanity. Especially where you're concerned.

5 minutes with Goo can leave Gun murderous, 10 minutes with Kouji has him considering strangling the little purple-headed idiot, 15 minutes with Crystal often leads to thinking about resignation.

Yet with you-

It's been 5 hours. 5 whole hours. 300 minutes. 18,000 seconds. All this time spent traipsing around store after store as you flitter around clothing and gadgets and junk.

And he still wants more of you.

Gun carries your bags with endless patience. Smiles as your face lights up when something catches you eyes. Offers up his credit card without complaint. Files away other things you like but not love, intent on purchasing it all for you anyway.

He worries about how he really is wrapped around your finger, but when you grab his hand and drag him to yet another store, he can't find it in himself to care.

Eugene x Reader

Eugene taps away furiously on his phone.

Seriously, it's one afternoon. How can everyone not deal without his instructions for one goddamn afternoon. And great, the 5G wavers. So much for the fastest and best connection in the world.

His hand comes up to readjust his glasses, a telltale habit whenever he feels stressed.

No, no. Enough is enough. He had promised you time, his most precious resource. Time completely focused on you.

When you had shown him some pretty outfits, or a cute plushie that reminded you of him, and realised his attention was once again on work, your smile gradually faded away.

Your jaw clenched tighter with each shop you visited, mood grown surlier the longer Eugene click-clacked away, the frown deepening with each email sent.

With steeled resolve, Eugene turns his phone off.

Everyone can just cope without him for the rest of the day.
