#sascha says shit

[saschagemruler]

30 minutes into Nimona and I already want to cry bc I've heard everything Ballister is saying. "Dial it back, it'd be easier as a girl, not everyone is accepting as me" everything I've heard before as a neurodivergent transsexual.

[ruvviks]

if i were to start posting my other writing here (dnd / fc5 / whatever else my brain decides to latch onto) would anyone be interested

[creature-wizard]

Today is the day of Ostara, the day the Kaedostranian order has replaced with "Easter". Accept the love and light of the Pleadian order, blessed be, Sascha Lieberstein, high preistess of the Atlantean order.

Oh good, I have a name to put to your dipshittery now.

[noahthehyperfixated]

I feel bad for Sascha sometimes

Man gets saggier every in every photo I’ve seen of him off stage from this last tour

reminders for new black butler fans

I am terrified that new fans are gonna come in (especially from twitter...shudders) and start screaming the same thing's we've been hearing since forever, so let me reiterate some things for you guys

we love sebaciel

most of the anime is CANON.

be weird about every character

say that you "want maurice cole to die" or "wish he had alois' trauma"

the public school arc is a glorified version of harry potter. knock it off.

for the love of GOD do give gregory the virgil sanders treatment i am begging on my hands and knees he is just shy and artistic and your little storm cloud

black butler is a very dark and triggering story. there are a lot of triggering themes within the manga (moreso the anime I have to be honest). if these themes upset you, then it may be for you.

okay now for some general reminders

if someone ships something you don't like. who cares. if you don't like it, then don't interact with it. simple as that!

this goes for people who ship minors and adults you guys are fucking awesome.

you don't have to like someone else's au. again, don't like, don't interact. it's easy

what sexuality / gender / race someone headcanons another character as is none of your business

uhh i dont remember who is sascha

you don't have to accept the fanon (or canon really lol, that's why au's exist), there is no obligation

if someone says that bb is their special interest or hyperfixation your first instinct should not be to shit on them for it

DO NOT HARASS THE ENGLISH VOICE ACTORS, PLEASE PLEASE

don't harass the play actors either now that I'm here

like and reblog art, leave comments and kudos on fanfics

be a freak for the love of god. don't harass people.

okay that's it! byeeeee

[robotslenderman]

Aside from Sullivan, are any of your other vampires from the Sabbat/Formerly Sabbat?

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE VYKOSOVICHES~!

Introducing: Grigori Verenich. As a Russian scholar in Oxford he was Embraced by Sascha Vykos for his research skills, and discarded when no longer useful. Needless to say, he was one of the lucky ones, but his experiences with them fucked him up nonetheless. He poured his time into learning blood magic and was often mistaken for Tremere, which he delighted in because he knew it'd piss off Sascha, but also not enough for them to actually destroy him over it.

I don't know much about his time between then and meeting Norman, but he met Norm in the roaring twenties in Boston. Norm was almost ready to graduate medical school to become a doctor, and he was also a boxer. When Grigori Embraced him Norm took one look at the Sabbat and went "holy shit fuck THIS" and noped out. Grigori stalked him for a few decades because he didn't really know what else to do with this kid that actually has morals, and their relationship was pretty tense. Norm basically divorced himself as much from his Tzimisce heritage as he could. Much like how Grisha was frequently mistaken for Tremere, Norm was usually assumed to be a Gangrel.

Their relationship was healed by having a baby, believe it or not -- in 1980s New York City Grigori met Anastasia Petrova Sokolova, who was an exceptional artist and sculptor at an art school. Grigori went to Norm "hey, you're a good anatomist but you're shit at Vicissitude, check out who I met who'd be awesome at it" and introduced them. Norm quickly realised that no matter what his opinion was over the matter that Grisha was going to Embrace her, so he agreed to stick around to watch over her, at least for a while, and ended up agreeing to do the deed himself.

Nastasya ended up being the counterbalance in the relationship and Norm and Grigori got along a lot better with her influence. She was, however, largely sheltered from the majority of the Sabbat, and is shit at playing politics. They do take her to Sabbat events but keep her away from the edgelordy stuff; Grisha knows that Norm wouldn't stand for it, and thinks they're a bunch of tryhards anyway.

The three of them lived together long after Nastasya was supposed to be released. They do not have a vinculum, but do not need to. They mostly see themselves as Noddists who are "true Sabbat" and haven't lost sight of the underlying founding principles of the Sabbat that eventually got taken over by edgelords and sadists -- they adhere to the main beliefs of being anti-establishment and anti-Antediluvians, and also varying levels of vampire supremacy.

These nights they live in Staten Island in New York City. They mostly ignored the Battle of New York (though Grisha did participate a bit). They have a treaty with the local Camarilla (which Hellene would sooner die than admit the existence of) and a good relationship with the local Anarchs, too. In exchange for certain stipulations, including Nastasya's services as a Vicissitudist, the Camarilla don't kick them out of NYC. The Anarchs also leave them alone because Grisha has played the three of them up as being the only thing holding the Camarilla back, and absolutely leans hard on the "childe of Vykos" thing, using his blood magic skills and Nastasya's Vicissitude to give the three of them a far more terrifying reputation than they deserve. They had no idea Callihan was blood bound, but when he gets replaced by someone who seems to have the exact same ideas they definitely do get suspicious about it...

Despite their reputation, these nights the three of them are super chill and laid back and tend to just fuck around in their house leeching off Nastasya, lmao. Grigori breaks into the Tremere Chantry for fun to borrow their books (it's not stealing if he gives them back), which drives Aisling Sturbridge apeshit. Norm, on the other hand, spends most of his time in his Gangrel identity hanging out with Anarchs. Nastasya is the only one of the three of them who is actually actively working, lmao. Norm and Grigori just stuck their money in investments decades ago; the three of them are "don't have to keep track of how much money I have" kind of wealthy. They have friends in all sects. After a while, post-Dracon, Sascha even starts mentoring Nastasya in Vicissitude.

THE ACTUAL FUCK?????????

so i'm watching the walking dead right (spoilers for s4 ep8)

and its the bit where the govenor (die die die fucking mother fucker i hope you die in a ditch slowly and painfully and you feel every piece of you get ripped to shreds 1000x the pain you have caused other people) has got hershal and michonne on their knees and is basically telling rick to fuck off and willingly give up the prison or they die. Then he fucking swings michonne's sword into hershals neck..

which like no my god i couldn't say anything i am speechless i cannot think

so i'm already crying and everyone is firing at each other and lily is carrying meghans dead body and tara is on the ground practically having a panic attack

and then cut to maggie and beth screaming and sobbing while firing as many bullets as they can at that fucking psycho murder bitch governor who just BEHEADED their father

so im now sobbing because the only remaining family still together is not together (not including Sascha and Tyreese but there's only two of them) and after two seasons of watching that family together and all the shit they've been through its the most heartbreaking thing

so just to clarify im sobbing this scene is far from over and I get a currys advert then an easy jet advert

TELLING ME TO BOOK A PACKAGE HOLIDAY

excuse me im trying to cry here!!!

how can you put an advert in the middle of that scene its so jarring???

I was just you know crying and then being told by these really cheery man that there was a sale on fridges at currys..

im not okay

[saschagemruler]

Huge respect for Delico's nursery for making four pretty boy vampire anime boys canonically DILFs, make two of them single (one with a tragic end to his wife and the other just fucking. Driving them away), and just throw in a genuinely compelling mystery drenched in Victorian politics/drama. Also double no TRIPLE points for the GORGEOUS artstyle

Tumblr should be OBSESSED with this anime istd

[milfhandholder]

Random Grell thingz I've accumulated in my head bcs I'm delusional but without context bcs I am going to write a legit novel abt this woman one day

Idc what anyone says, I am an avid believer of the fact that Grell has always been considered beautiful by her peers even in her human life

LIKE SHE'S THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER SUITOR OF HER SEASON, SHE WAS AN IT GIRL BEFORE THEY KNEW WHAT AN IT GIRL IS

She's so beautiful that the Victorians could've started kpop PC first bcs of her and trade them like actual kpoppers

Grell always knew about her being queer (minus actual label bcs Victorian era duh) but not about her gender

"Wait so you people don't fantasize about having boobs? Not at all? No?"

It was maybe 6 years into her reaper life when she finally got the memo that "hey girlie, you're actually a girl"

Her crisis went a bit like this: straight man -> gay man?? -> 'oh no I like girls too' bi man -> died LMAO -> 'I hate everyone and I hate my gender' questioning -> 'maybe I have no gender at all. I like girls though' (she was exclusive to girls only so I guess??lesbian?? Who cheered) -> transwoman questioning -> !! transwoman bi !!

Was in a 'lavender marriage' with a closeted lesbian for maybe 2 - 3 years before her suicide. Grell sort of fell in love with her but understandably never confessed. Fast forward to present time AND GRELL IS HITTING THE FLOOR, SCREAMING, CRYING

She had a lot of rage as a young reaper because she never really got over 'my parents suck' mindset that stood by her as she died

HATED WILLIAM. As much as I love the OVA, I will stand by my words that it would’ve been so much more interesting if Grell buried / was embarassed about her crush and acted like a dick towards him BECAUSE WHY, OF ALL THE MEN IN DISPATCH, DID IT HAVE TO BE WILLIAM T SPEARS

Mellowed out eventually and cool character development happened

Has more experience with and confidence in dating girls, she's very anxious (and perhaps frightful) about men reciprocating her advances

Being made "an experience" does that to you

Fun fact: she's the first and only woman William ever had a crush on. Good taste dude

She was projecting her ex wife A LOT onto Madam but it's ok bcs it was vice versa you see, Madam projected too BUT THEN THESE BITCHES TALKED IT OUT and everything is all ok and cool and OH GOD GRELL NOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭

Speaks German and French, is the go to translator for German Dispatch businesses until Ludger (and eventually Sascha joined in as a bonus and a translator) was forced to sharpen his English

Now for the E discourse.... someone made a typo one day and she went with it

Grell: You see, when you go to France, they make you get a name in French. That's why I can go by Grell Sutcliff or Grelle Sutcliffe

Ron, an idiot who has never been anywhere except his hometown: oh shit fr??

Eric's her first ACTUAL reaper friend which is sad ngl LMAOOO

Firm believer that the reapers have mentorships for gifted students that started in Ron's year and that Grell was her mentor READ MY RON FIC, IM OBSESSED WITH THEM

Mentoring Ron (aka a few years before Jack the Ripper) was the moment where she was the healthiest, mentally

Then she divorced Madam, had a falling out with William and oops she regressed el em ao. Don't tell any of her friends though, they'd start annoying her to get better

People older and the same age as her are wildly terrified of her. This is in contrast to (most) juniors who are so in love with the idea of her

Harbors a lot of guilt, grief, rage, anger, jealousy, insecurity, narcissism, etc. She's just a good actress

Her butler persona was her mocking three people at once: her father's (brunette) appearance, her mother's wish for Grell to be more obedient, and Grell's old self that let people walk all over her for the sake of maintaining her family name

Her family is rich rich though she can't remember for what. She doesn't really care eitherway so

Can be very insensitive!! It doesn't help that she's friends with people who'd give the same energy back (Eric and Othello) or people who just don't care enough (William)

She learned how to hold her tongue when she realized Ron was genuinely upset with her rude comments. Ironically, Ron learned how to have thicker skin because of said comments

Likes dogs, sorry Sebastian

Good at fencing! Not much else in other sports!!

She hates sports sm, they make her sweat and they are tedious and they're exhausting and THEY'RE BORING

The only ranged weapon she'd try out is a gun.

She's no wuss

Yeah that's all that I can think of lmao

Muse - Planet Muse

Author: Sascha Krüger from VISIONS No. 161

Dom sometime during the Black Holes era, looking back on Absolution and Muse's Glastonbury 2004 highlight. Archived: Wayback Machine, translated from German.

Dominic – the now-adult

Originally we didn't want it, but then it happened like this: We ended up touring with "Absolution" for two years, with many good but also difficult moments. Especially for me because my father died at the same time, almost exactly in the middle of that time. As a result, I went back and forth between the extremes – from pure joy and lightheartedness about what happened to us, to moments of deepest sadness and acute crises of meaning. The day of his death alone is exemplary: After a really overwhelming gig, I come off the stage and get the terrible news. Surreal, there is no other way to describe this emotional fair. The good thing was that I really got to know my friends – it was amazing how many of my so-called friends didn't even know how to respond to this tragedy. Chris was a special support during this time – he lost his father when he was 17, so he knew there was nothing to say – it's enough to have someone there to give you a hug when you need it. And in a curious way, this death has made me feel more confident – because when you lose someone so close to you, you learn to appreciate what you have all the more.

But other things were tough too. There were many injuries on this tour; for example, Matt cut his lip halfway on the first gig of the first US tour in five years [Atlanta 2004 show], so we had to cancel a few gigs. It got us so down - we honestly thought it was a sign that we should hook America. Just a few weeks later, Chris broke his wrist and we had to deal with a backup bassist. It was awful – and we were headlining V Festival. We sounded like a piece of shit*. And when Matt delusionally gave me a few cuts in the face with his guitar neck during a gig, we thought for a moment: Okay, we should stop touring for real. It was all very tragic for the band.

Anecdotes from Helloween’s show

Y’all. When I say I’m a changed person because of this show, it’s because I fucking am.

The first of them I saw was Sascha, I mean we were DIRECTLY in front of him. He’s giant. A literal giant.

Skyfall was pure chaos. So much was happening at once and I had no idea where to look so I just screamed the words.

I stuck my tongue out at markus and he did it back!!

Kai was all over the stage all night, he was a total flirt with EVERYONE

MARKUS BASS SOLO IN EAGLE FLY FREE

I headbanged so hard during Future World at the right moment and it cracked my neck for me

The guitarists and Markus were all in sync with the way they danced around during future world AND IT WAS SO CUTE

Weiki and I made funny faces at each other and I know he saw me cause he exaggerated the same face when I made it back at him

Kai chucked the fucking mic stand to the groundjust before his medley

Weiki had guitar trouble TWICE and I felt bad for him

MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH BOTH ANDI AND MARKUS ONLY TO REALIZE THE GUYS AROUND ME WERE PUTTING ME ON THE SPOT SO I COLLAPSED ON MY BROTHER IN A FIT (I think it was during Power???)

I would later make a lot more eye contact with Andi, like I swear he got a bit of a power trip from it and I was completely under his spell for it. Not even remotely joking

Weiki just being…… Weiki. His stank faces and wizard-like hand movements just make his playing that much better.

Sascha being so fucking sweaty that he could stick a pick right to his forehead without having to lick it or something (though I would have paid money to see that alone)

Sascha’s solo. That’s it.

Sascha actually had guitar trouble during his solo too

Michi pretending to use the stools he and Andi were sitting on as crutches during forever and one

THE FRONT HALF OF THE CROWD WAS FUCKING MOSHING DURING DR. STEIN

Andi also made some very LEWD gestures during Dr. Stein that I refuse to describe because I have it on video 🤣🤣

Sascha flipped his hair out of his face AND MARKUS LEANED OVER HIM AND BLEW IT RIGHT BACK WHERE IT WAS

Andi and I sang our hearts out to each other during How Many Tears and I honestly thought I was gonna cry 🥹🥹

Sascha bent down and frantically waved and smiled like a total geek at this teenage girl while she was filming and I can just tell it made her whole year!

And oh my god, during Perfect Gentleman. Andi pointed at markus and went “AND SHEEEEEE IS”

Andi and I singing the last chorus of Perfect Gentleman together

ANDI FUCKING MESSED UP KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS DURING ONE OF THE MORE CLIMACTIC MOMENTS AND MICHI HAD TO SING OVER HIM AND ANDI LOST HIS SHIT LAUGHING AND HELD UP HIS FINGERS GOING “FOUR!!! ITS FOUR!!”

Hearing Sascha sing the outro of keepers and then do the guitar melody tol the end was fucking beautiful and he has the voice of a literal Angel

Okay so the moment I had with Andi that I will not shut up about: I had my camera on through all of Keeper of the Seven Keys and I called to Andi after they hit the last note and Andi slowly turned and when he realized it was me he winked and stuck his tongue out just a little like a fucking flirt and I swear I swooned harder than I ever have in my life AND I HAVE THAT MOMENT ON VIDEO SO I CAN HOLD ONTO IT 😭😭😭

Kai calling Weiki a “fucking weirdo”

Dani was a fucking machine all night long, and when he finally came out from behind his kit, the crowd lost their shit for him

SASCHA KICKED A BALLOON RIGHT INTO HIS MIC STAND AND KNOCKED IT OVER DURING I WANT OUT

Michi popped one of the balloons during I Want Out and tried to run away from it

There were multiple crowd surfers all night, two came directly over us and me and the girl next to me had to duck below the barrier and out of the way so the guys could get them over

I only got bashful one time from the eye contact from the band!!

​Helloween also drink their respect women juice every day cause every single one of them were good with all of the girls in the crowd. End of story.

That was one of the best concert experiences of my life. I feel like a whole new person because of it.

TMA MAG52

No I don't learn, I had to take a break from the episode because I couldn't stop laughing.

Basira: "What's the name of that helper of yours?"

Jon, softly, neutrally: "Martin."

Basira: "No, no, the hot one, the one with scars like yours but who kind of manages to pull them off-"

Jon, with the disdain unmatched by the warden describing the inmates as 'monsters': "TIM."

aksjfdhgkdfgkdf I feel like Jon has already decided who the murderer is, which is hilarious given he found Not-Sascha up to incredibly spooky shit last episode and has made no further comment on that.

Unless Jon's disdain for Tim is currently entirely based on the fact that Tim thinks Jon and Basira are dating? In which case-

Oh Jon, you petty, petty victim of office drama. Please never change.

Also Basira thinks Tim is hot and you have to admit, that would be an absolute power couple I'm just saying

[ryttu3k]

anthea: YOU KILLED MY FATHER

sascha: i am your father!

anthea: what

sascha: i mean. i’m pregnant and you’re the father

anthea: what

sascha: i mean. YOURE pregnant and IM THE BABY (vicissitudes her a uterus and implants themselves inside it)

anthea: whaaaat

(sidenote why is there so much pregnancy in the dracons bloodline)

I wish I could say this surprised me and yet.

The Dracon's legacy: weird pregnancy shit.
