yall ever heard about ao3s next of kin policy

..hmmm..

Who wants to be executor of my smut?

…is this supposed to be considered weird? I don’t get it.

I think it’s more that it was an unexpected feature. I’m glad it’s there.

Yeah I actually found it while prepping for brain surgery, and was incredibly relieved that it was a built-in feature and not something I’d have to leave convoluted instructions about or whatever. It’s a bit morbid, sure, but it’s a great feature.

…an unexpected but very appreciated feature.

You can name a literary executor on AO3?

“Stress” by Yoan Capote

 
2004
Concrete and bronze
250 x 60 x 60 cms
Edition : –
Collection : Karen and Robert Duncan- Lincoln, Nebraska, USA

This piece was inspired by the artist’s personal experience of grinding his teeth as a result of stress; but the work is also a monument to the collective experience of contemporary urban life. The artist went to a clinic in Havana and took the molds of teeth of several anonymous people; he reproduced those teeth in bronze and conjoined the molds in a linear fashion. The bronze teeth bear the weight of each 500 pound concrete block. The sculpture symbolically uses the notion of gravity, material and its weight to create the sculpture and the idea of burden; it also examines the meaning of teeth as an important part of the body used to establish identification or the identity of a person.

I don’t like this and it makes me uncomfortable but I also think it’s important to look at.

FINALLY ENOUGH TEETH

but yes, also, quite good art

Carla Laemmle in the late 1920s.

Carla was the niece of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle and got early film roles in 1925’s PHANTOM OF THE OPERA as well as a part in the 1931 DRACULA with Bela Lugosi, where she famously spoke the film’s first lines: “Among the rugged peaks that frown down upon the Borgo Pass are found crumbling castles of a bygone age …. ” Ms. Laemmle lived to be 104. 

This is a very different look from the one she sported in that scene.

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.
