[01:02:35] Gustav von Aschenbach: Here is the beginning of DE.
[01:02:37] Gustav von Aschenbach: No.
[01:02:43] Gustav von Aschenbach: The before-beginning.
[01:03:05] Gustav von Aschenbach: The prime mover of DE.
[01:03:15] Gustav von Aschenbach: Man who died for Art's sake.

[01:03:27] Gustav von Aschenbach: Took me some time to find it.
[01:04:41] Gustav von Aschenbach: We wouldn't be here today without Alpleblewm's noble sacrifice.
[01:07:09] Gustav von Aschenbach: You could say fanart and fanfiction etc are dregs unworthy of being called Art, but regardless they are quite similar to their nobler cousin.
[01:07:18] Gustav von Aschenbach: As in, they feed on human suffering.
[01:07:58] Gustav von Aschenbach: This particular man's affair was a hot issue for something like two days. I was still one leg in PRONZ back then.
[01:08:39] Gustav von Aschenbach: Anyway, an artist whom we all know and love, Weaver, decided to feed his Muse with a pedo's slip-up.

[01:10:49] Gustav von Aschenbach: Unfortunately I have no proof, for it is lost in the depths of the  pre-Heinessen era, but other oldtimers will confirm that this picture, along with text along the lines of "Oh Fluttershy...I didn't see you coming in!" formed the OP. The first OP.
[01:11:15] Gustav von Aschenbach: Some laughed.
[01:12:12] Gustav von Aschenbach: Some, among them our comrade Ham, posted some other pics with similar text accompanying them. These became their own stories, later.
[01:13:57] Gustav von Aschenbach: But if Alpleblewm was this Prime Mover, then Lavenci could be considered a Nietzschean Ubermensch - one who is free to act on his own within the ever-circular current of history.
[01:15:34] Gustav von Aschenbach: It is he who posted the First Story, captivating all of us with the audacity of the twists and turns of its plot, a story that became progressively filthier with every post.
[01:16:13] Gustav von Aschenbach: Thus the glorious filth began. And once one had shown the way, all inhinbition was removed.
[01:17:35] Gustav von Aschenbach: In his footsteps followed others, as if a scream made them aware that they have voices of their own.
[01:18:41] Gustav von Aschenbach: Thus it began, a wild orgy of creativity. The rest is, well, history.
[01:19:33] Gustav von Aschenbach: Or, to quote a Poet and neatly close the simile to screams: The rest is silence.
