Just another blog by an ambiguously-gendered primeval monster.

Likes: terrorizing mortals; libraries; serious eyeshadow; chain wallets; suspiciously lifelike marble statues

Dislikes: people who aren't statues yet; bros; Perseus

Photo reblogged from Fancy THAT with 12 notes

valkyrien: wahnwitzig: “A ‘flying couple’, Lt. Genth and Lt. Radke the crew of G 406/16. The third man (rear gunner) changed frequently as it looks, i have Vizefeldwebel Gaede and Vizefeldwebel Zschenderlein (or Tschenderlein)” I love how so many of the chaps in WWI pictures have linked arms, it’s adorable. Also, in this one, their completely disparate reactions to being photographed is hilarious. One has a full-blown case of the Pilot Smoulders, the other looks like he doesn’t trust the camera at all and would quite like to be elsewhere. Awww ^^

    Amazing expressions. Turn-of-the-century men knew where it was at when looks were concerned as well as clothes.
