So, I got a bit curious about Goncharov, particularly as someone interested in other countries' posters for America's movies (my favourites include Showa era Japanese ones, look up Japan's Army of Darkness poster some time). It was already difficult given it was once lost (I was beginning to think maybe it never left the states), but to add to that it was released in the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia at the time, their posters are always wild) under a completely different name. 'Hrnčíř Diskotéky', or if Google translate is to be believed, 'Disco Potter'.
Or at least, according to this poster. It has the exact same cast and director, and it does contain interpretations of things from the film, so it's my best guess that this is the Czech poster for Goncharov, and that must have been its name there.
It is pretty interesting poster in its own right, has what I often like about Czech posters anyway. But something else intrigued me. The odd knife. Now obviously, it's not the knife that killed Goncharov and Andrey. That could be just artistic license and lack of communication between countries, but the way De Niro is holding it in his mouth...
I googled as best I could of the knife's description, and it might be a bollock dagger. A type of dagger with a hilt that's deliberately meant to resemble testicles. Yep.
So, the designer might've noticed the subtext long before the film's new fans, or maybe the Czech Republic got a more explicit cut.
Either way...they knew.

The Dogs in Bloodborne!
So @bobbyzombiegg you wanted some headcanons on the dogs right? Following this post. Alright I will, but first i’m gonna recap all the dogs we can see in Bloodborne!
No I'm not talking about the weird beasts. Even the ones we're not sure if they have animal or human origins, I will stay focused on dogs only.
Rabid dog (Yharnam and found in most of the locations of the game)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They seems to be cream coloured but I saw people said it could be brown. It's the dog ennemies we encounter the most often. The chimera in the Nightmare of Mensis are made with them too.
Grey Rabid dog (grey/silver version found in Yaha'rgul & chalice dungeons)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Same breed as the light coloured ones but they have darker fur (grey/silver)
Some might already know but for the ones who don't know this dog highly ressemble the Irish Wolfhound Breed
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's one of the biggest dog in the world. Typically used to hunt wolves (that's how all the wolf in Ireland disappear), deers and big animals.
The breed almost disappear in the 19th century but it was restored into the one we know today with mixing the last ones with the Great Dane, Scottish deerhound, borzoi and even Tibetan dog.
It also highly ressemble the Scottish deerhound, the too breed being very similar and link.
Tumblr media
I personally call the ones in Bloodborne just wolfhound because there's no guarantee it's a real breed and again Bloodborne, like dark souls is not our world so I don't think Irish and England exist XD there's equivalent maybe. (And Yharnam would be closer to this universe version or Poland or Czech).
If you are attentive they aren't presented in the hunter's nightmare (see below the old hunter's hound) With the scourge of the beasts becoming worst and huge beasts appearing more frequently the hunters and citizens turn themself to bigger dogs to hunt bigger prey.
Hunting dog (Hemwick Charnel lane & chalice dungeons)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't ask me what breed it is I have 0 idea. Greyhound? A mixt breed? Idk. They are principally found in Hemwick too. They have been equip of weapons to hurt beast better I supposed. A hardcore version of the collar of some shepherd dog 😅 The ones left almost in completely autonomy with a herd and half collars with spike to not get hurt by wolves.
Keeper's hunting dogs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Found in the chalice dungeons and are weird mutated fire dogs. They follow their master, the keepers. I suppose they were normal dogs before.
Watchdog of the Old Lords
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idk if that was a dog before. Could be a keeper who transformed or something for all we know. But well it's literally called a "watchdog" so-
The corpses of dead dogs in the chalice dungeons
Tumblr media
(I know it looks great but please imagined it's a dog 💀 it's the only screenshot I found)
Sometimes you can see corpses in the chalice dungeons and sometimes there's dogs ones as well. They seem rather "normal". And not really the breeds we already see.
Old hunter hound /rabid dog (Hunter's Nightmare-Yharnam/ The Old Hunters dlc)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So those are probably Dobermann. Used as guard dogs and for protections. During old hunter's era, most beasts were beast patients / human size not huge scourge beasts. So this type of dogs was ideal. With the beast growing bigger having more scourge beasts around the poor dogs become too insufficient. And that's why Yharnam adopt bigger bred like the wolfhounds.
Dobermanns are born with long falling ears and a tail. The tails was cut so they don't got hurt into fight or hunting and the ears because they often got affections. Many countries have forbidden it because with modern standard of life it donees't have any real use now. Contrary to what people think "attack dogs" are not born agressive. It's just that if they aren't trained well and develop comportement issues and agression it's going to be a bit more of a problem than a chihuahua who would have the same issues.
Fish dogs (Hunter's nightmare-Fishing hamlet/ The Old hunters dlc)
Tumblr media
Don't ask me please. there's no idea of knowing what they were before. But their fish's head apparently ressemble a viperfish's head, also called a chauliodus, deep sea fish from the Stomiidae family. Not putting pictures here for people who are sensible, I put a link above. Their body as slimed and long (30cm), they lived between 200 and 4000m of depth (3300-13000ft). Those types of fishes (their genus) were discovered in the very early XIX/19th century.
Now my headcanons on why most of wolfhounds in Yharnam have light fur and why the one in Yahar’gul have dark colored ones.
Objectively the most possible answer is simply that the dog’s population of this two area weren’t mixted together. When you have a small portions of individual who don’t mixt with more exterior individuals they tend to end up with similar traits because of dominant & rececive genes (and if it last a LONG time, that’s how new species appears. But it take thousands if not millions of years and generations).
Well my headcanons is much simpler than that and basically for fic purposes. I just thought it would make sense that Yahar’gul hunters kept the darker ones because they need to stay discreet (they themselves have black clothes) etc. And the other would have kept the lighter ones because they are easier to see and recognize at night.
At the beginning of the introduction of the wolfhound races in Yharnam it was probably mixed individuals of different fur coats. With a bit with time, selection and breeding they would end up with most of the dogs being light light colored for the hunters/citizens and church. And Yahar’gul doing the same would ended up with the darker ones.
And bonus headcanons:
I imagined a younger Paarl possibly taking care of the first generation of wolfhound in Yharnam (they were introduced to replace the dobermanns because beasts grew bigger). And i like imagining Gehrman to had help with training and had one of his own :3 a white one (yes I draw it I should do that again) (because you see, to have survived that long and have will to live after Maria passed away and the old hunters dying one by one i imagined it would have been nice for him to have a companion for a time).

a couple days ago, a stream featuring andrzej sapkowski came out, supposedly announcing a new book in the witcher series (see link below).
i've watched it, and personally, considering the context, i would reign in my enthusiasm until some kind of official announcement.
youtube
i'm including the notes of what he speaks about, for anyone interested.
the first short story started with the title: a male form of the polish word wiedźma (witch) doesn't exist, so sapkowski came up with one. the idea for the story came afterwards.
the first short story was supposed to be a one-time thing. he never expected to write a continuation.
he didn't do any research for the witcher books beforehand because 1/ it's a fantasy book, so he's allowed some leeway & 2/ he already accumulated a lot of knowledge throughout his life by the time he started writing. some research on things was needed during the process, but not a lot of it.
he did do beforehand research for a different, more historical series he wrote afterwards (trylogia husycka).
he once again stresses that the book series is not based specifically on slavic mythology - that was something made up by journalists. he took inspiration from various mythologies indiscriminately, and the plot was more important to him than using any specific sources.
he doesn't remember how many short stories he wrote for the witcher.
back when he started, there was no point in sending manuscripts to publishing houses, because the publishers were not interested in polish fantasy books, preferring the foreign ones. instead, an aspiring writer's best bet would be to send a short story to fantastyka (means fantasy, but only as a literary genre), a magazine that published fantasy & sci fi short stories. at some point he got tired of publishing short stories though, and he sent his manuscript in (he says he doesn't remember what book that was). it was successful, and it encouraged more authors to do the same.
he regrets writing under his real name and not under a literary pseudonym.
nilfgaard's similarities to ancient rome are accidental, and nilfgaard should not be interpreted as based on it. sapko came up with it as an aggressive fantasy nation that wants to take over the world, with no deeper meaning behind it.
first map created for the witcher was the work of the czech translator, and most subsequent maps were based on it (or, as sapko puts it, stolen.) "why i never created a map? pettiness." all fantasy books of the time had a map, so he decided his wouldn't have. and so it doesn't.
the witcher comics were parowski's idea (a witcher fan & comic book author). sapkowski didn't participate in its creation. he tried to give his input about the drawings at first, but the artist basically told him to go fuck himself.
he has a cat
he used to be a senior sales representative, and it gave him some knowledge about sales, banking, currencies and economy which he was able to work into the plot of his stories
he reads at least 50 books per year. of recent works, he recommends madeline miller's circe, steven king's two new books, v.e. schwab's the invisible life of addie larue, peng shepherd's the cartographers, herve le telier's the anomaly, r.f. kuang's babel, holly black's book of night. he considers the above the literary events and fantasy milestones of the past few years.
his commentary on people who study and analyze the witcher and its themes: "they come up with things i never could have come up with." he claims he never assigned any specific philosophy or meaning to his works, but he's happy to read the works of people who do.
he says he didn't base any of his characters on himself in any way. at the same time, his opinion is that it's difficult to write a character that doesn't retain some of the author's qualities. however, the characters are in their own setting and their own story. in his words, "you don't write books about yourself. you write books about characters that you come up with, and you give them their own qualities. […] who cares who i am? the reader is interested in who the witcher is, or who the other characters are."
when asked why geralt is different than the other witchers (more sensitive, kinder), he responds that it's because he's a made up character that's supposed to be interesting for the reader, so he needs to be distinguishable from others. a book is supposed to be interesting, and creating an interesting character is one of the ways to achieve it.
when asked why the smell of yennefer's perfume is so specific, he just says that he made it up and perfume like that doesn't exist.
witchers, although they use magic, are a completely separate group from the sorcerers in the book. there are no common points between them. witchers are also not a reference to any specific mythological archetypes or characters.
he doesn't like announcing what he's doing, because he changes his mind a lot, and doesn't always finish what he starts.
he does say that he is working on a new witcher book and that it should come out within the next year or a couple. considering the context of his words, however, i would consider it as more of a 'maybe' than an actual announcement.

Wow. Hello. It gives me great "HOORAY" energy to say: 
Avalanche, my first studio album of Jennysongs in over a decade, is out today!
This record is a document of the shifting tectonic plates of my existence: love, loss, terrible sadness, profound joy, ancient wounds of my youth, and the endless possibilities of the universe (to say nothing of all the other universes) are all contained within. I am so proud of these songs and these recordings. I hope you'll find them worth the listening.
I'm extremely grateful to all of these folks for sharing their creative gifts with me and helping to bring this record into existence:
Josh Kaufman produced the album, shepherding each song with incredible care. He also played a great many instruments, and his wizardry on guitar, piano, organ, bass, and pretty much anything else he can get his hands on is unmatched. Also, he made me delicious eggs, and the importance of proper fortification for a long day in the studio cannot be overstated. What a guy.
D. James Goodwin engineered, mixed, and mastered the album, and brings the golden glow of warmth that pervades these songs. 
Matt Barrick played drums and percussion on the record, and did so with incredible feel and glorious tone. 
Gillian Pelkonen provided production assistance and absolutely impeccable vibes.  
Madi Diaz, Peter Silberman, Mikky Ekko, S. Carey, Christian Lee Hutson, Bess Rogers, and Tyler Demorest all cowrote songs with me that appear on this release; they're all also wonderful people I'm so thankful to know.
Josh Goleman took beautiful photographs during the recording process, and Lisa Czech took beautiful photographs in my home and around the wilds of Maine. 
The passionate folks of my new label home Yep Roc Records have been incredible partners on every step of the journey thus far (and they let me make gatefold jackets for the vinyl edition, wow wow wow). 
I can't believe this day is here at last.
I hope you enjoy Avalanche.
Listen / buy / live laugh love: ffm.to/joyavalanche
