-I've been trying to watch tons of old movies and other stuff to keep my mind occupied. But it's horrible because I just went on a Connie binge again like I'd been starving myself and--he frightens me. Like, after you've seen him do the whole evilsex thing and after you've heard him purr and do that panther glide and--there's nobody who can compare ( Read more... )

It's really disconcerting, though. To have to remind oneself that this is less than a hundred years ago and the age of consent had already been introduced as a concept, yet people didn't give a shit about that in the Weimar Berlin days. So the idea of him and everyone else banging everyone regardless of age is frightening, even if it's not dissimilar to something you would've had in ancient Rome or Greece or medieval Persia. Those periods are further away historically and as I said, the age of consent wasn't really a thing back then, so the whole 1910s and 20s debauchery was laden with more sinfulness because people knew what they were doing was wrong.

AWF isn't available in HD outside iTunes, sadly. But the copy they've got is pretty good. I've posted a rip of the HD version on veidtveidtveidt (and a 1080p version of ToB as well). Not that I'm desperate to convert people into Connie's charms at all, oooohno.
