#Blicero
If you must, though I think you're better off leaning into Blarmel, Blishers, Bloblesville, and Blicero

When will #ThomasPynchon write a prequel to #GravitysRainbow 🌈, but in a #Renaissance or late- #medieval setting, with Captain #Blicero strapping #Gottfried into the #catapult

spoilers for gravity's rainbow and neon genesis evangelion:

nge's ending sorta echoes gr's. blicero/gottfried equals both gendo/shinji (father/son dynamic) and misato/shinji (sexual manipulation/abuse dynamic). shinji and gottfried are both sealed in rockets as part of an apocalypse ritual

I first heard of it in, of all places, Thomas Pynchon’s novel, Gravity’s Rainbow, which features a white, German Captain Blicero, whose memories of his service in SW Africa are featured in flashback sequences, and a Herero man from SW Africa, Enzian, also w/ memories of SW Afr atrocities

The chapter with Katje, Gottfried, Blicero, Enzian, Franz van der Groov's dodo genocide, roving all over the place but at the same time so many unities...it all flows, from character to character, back and forth in time. Pynchon writes *memory* amazingly well.

Starting to develop the beginnings of a theory about Närrisch, Achtfaden, Pökler etc being a mirror of the British behavioralists, and Pointsman’s notion of the “mummy’s curse” centered around the book is reflected in a curse around the S-Gerät. Pointsman as British Blicero? 🚀

Infiltrate the private castle of Blicero Psycho Mantis Musk, stomp on his head and kick him into the vat of lava to liberate his fief

where's blicero at man we need to gottfried this guy
Surely humanoid soul patch Palmer Luckey’s Anduril has super-good anti-drone technology capable of crushing the perfidious Persians?

A lonely nation turns its eyes to you!

Is Trump Blicero?

blicero is in there and then some

Por cierto, supongo que sabrás ya que varios personajes provienen de "V.", incluyendo a Blicero en un capítulo impresionante. Probablemente opinión impopular pero es mi Pynchon preferido.

I am very basic, but it seems like "Closer" by NIN has a place somewhere in the narrative. I'm thinking more the Blicero bits than on the Anubis.

Totally brutal sentence on what happens to the evil SS Captain and rocket battery commander Weissmann/Blicero in the end 🚀

No, it's not just you. Something about the episode titles (seen also in 4.6 but not much earlier) and this feels like we are quickly flipping channels rather than organically flowing (like in the previous section where Geli sets out on her journey and it moves to Gottfried/Blicero in flashback)

Is this Pointsman? Or Blicero? Or Thanatz? Or Waxwing? Or Göll? Or Erdmann? Or…

@rnrhamster.bsky.social Probably as a throwback to the Blicero chapter and a forward reference to the Anubis we should add “Love’s Secret Domain” by Coil to the playlist
September 26, 2024 at 12:16 PM
There also is a link through Enzian to Blicero and Katje of course
September 18, 2024 at 11:58 AM
Yes, although I’m not entirely sure if it’s meant to be him or the Blicero god of death that Weissman adopted as his code name?
September 12, 2024 at 10:59 AM
The Blicero stuff is why I suggested Dread Soveriegn if you wanted to move that later in the playlist (also Dodo)
September 6, 2024 at 11:00 PM
Oh also, thanks for the reminder that Blicero’s real name is Weissman (ie “white man”) and that Blicero mythologically is associated with whiteness of bones and death. More on this later as we learn about plastics too.
