Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen

A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death

#hellsing #alucard #kouta hirano #translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent #fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online #i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands #the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake #anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool #if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first #and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf #i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia #then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point #but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page #and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh #the hellsing brainrot runs deep #also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491 #except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo #the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002 #which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch #sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less #it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was #maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

These are some in-universe weapon/tech concepts for Retrograde, I actually had a lot of fun drawing these! Most of them are used for as references for when drawing the actual comic. The in universe lore is that the weapons that Sam and Val use are actually weapons commonly used by soldiers in the military but were modified by Eli (their friend who runs a mechanic shop, she also fixes Val's bike and any random things that comes by). In Retrograde, many weapons are made using lasers and laser blades as they're more powerful than your average steel/metal. However, they take up a ton of energy and have really low battery life. They are great for cutting down robots and droids though.

Last image is just what their phones look like. In this universe, after the giant cataclysm that destroyed the previous era, the world kinda overwent a giant technological set back. Basically most things never really made it out of the analog systems and so a lot of the tech is similar to most tech from the 90s and early 00s. Sam and Val's phones don't have a touch screen, they use a joycon and buttons to navigate around the screen and a pull out keyboard to type messages (like an handheld game console, the inspo was mostly from flip phones and the DS lol). The computer on top is probably the closest you'll get to a laptop, it's pretty clunky and is mainly used by field researchers for analyzing data. Sam and Val do end up doing a bounty for a group of researchers so I was trying to figure out what they'd use for data and stuff.

#I think im gonna make a long masterpost with links to all the lore i talk about for my own convenience 😭#I keep losing where I talk abt certain things #this post is more abt world building if anything #it's also lots of fun for me cause I finally know how to draw these kinda objects that don't exist irl #btw Sam and Val's phones are color coordinated with their designs ofc #how were they able to get customized phones that matched their appearance and aesthetic while on a tight budget?#idk man they probably had Eli do it for them #retrograde #haliai art #oc lore #concept art #my art #sketch #worldbuilding #weapon design

Sonic the Hedgehog and why he's impossible to write Perfectly

(including me i could not get him right if my life depended on it)

is this me giving up on trying to find the perfect way to write him? Maybe

i've been making lots and lots of notes on a bunch of his characterizations and the differences between them, including what makes any of them Better than the others and it's been .inconclusive

but i think ive found the problem. i can't accurately describe him as a character in general in one sentence without getting too specific or listing stuff like 'fast'

and i think that's one of the only things that stays consistent between all the different media he's in

one of my favorite examples of all this is sonic's lack of a solid theme. he has themes, yes. but they change with every game and tend to be the main theme Of the game. not just sonic. so he doesn't really have one of his own like most other characters.

just gonna plug this video again. it talks about sonic leitmotifs and character themes and how they're used to define each character and it's really cool check it out :]

all this comes with a blessing and a curse. there's always someone who will like one characterization and someone else who will Absolutely Despise it. and honestly that's just sonic's thing. especially with sonic media as a whole

there are definitely ways to mess up sonic's character. it's been done many times. but that's when the writers completely dismiss sonic's core values (but let's be honest even those are flexible and everyone still does them differently)

so. if someone has the golden formula to writing sonic please please please i am on my hands and knees i need to know how it's done

but until i figure it out. im just gonna stick to this. ->

TLDR: sonic is so complex and so simple at the same time and i cannot find any one way to describe him. there are infinite ways to write him and it's honestly better to just not worry about getting it perfect and have fun with it :]

#this is actually just a cry for help /j #i dont know how people do it there are so many good versions of this character but theyre all so different !!#but they all work an can be easily identified as Sonic #i think thats why he works so well as a main character without being a silent protagonist like link #he's flexible. he works with literally any story you drop him in #like. ok mild sonic frontiers spoilers #the main cast each has their own koco and they're all different and reflect each character #knux having a warrior amy having .a lover idk. and tails with a mechanic #they all can be matched with a character so easily !#except. sonics just has A Leaf on its head. no fancy stuff. just a standard koco #and!! it works!! somehow skdnfjf #like theres no other koco that would work better #his koco buddy is just kind of A Guy. a guy who loves adventure if you will ajdbd #because thats who sonic is! just a guy who loves adventure! !! theres not much else to it #wxcept hes not just a blank slate he has personality #going back to the twitter takeover question about what sonics memory token would look like and #none if the other characters could come up with a decisive symbol. tails probably had the best idea out of the bunch #a star. because thats what sonic is to him and the others #its; so cut;e man..... ..#um. but anyways. i wrote all this instead of sleeping ahdbfh #if anyone want to add please do i love hearing everyone else's thoughts on this. its the whole point actually #gonna go to bed soon though so. gn #sonic the hedgehog #rambles #gif

⌖ HI, HEY, HELLO! IT’S ME, hi, I’m the problem, IT’S ME, SIMULCASTING LIVE ON AIR and LIVE ON CAMERA! I almost NEVER DO THAT! Are YOU tired of scam calls? I SURE AM! Let’s make these CLOWNS our little APRIL FOOLS! TUNE IN for WILD IMPROV, VOICE ACTING, SCAMMER MALDING, and COVERS OF THE SCAMMER PAYBACK SOUNDTRACK! ALL DAY!

#// gonna drop context in the TAGS!#scambaiting is exactly what it sounds like! you bait scammers. for example pretending to be a potential victim to waste their time. some #people can go further and get their info to report to authorities or reverse connection into their computer and mess up their operations.#Al's goal here is to improv some insane scenarios (see link for an example) and have fun wasting these clowns' time so they can't make money #(this also saves victims but she is fueled mostly by pettiness and spite bc she hates robocalls)#they do get raging tho and she is gonna have so much fun making them rage. she has her own creative insults too.#(first link is long (but worth it) but the second two videos are short)#Her focus is improv but pls remember that she's pretty techliterate (like... her operating system is a linux and she set the hotel network #up with pihole to block all ads on the network) so she is running a virtual machine in case some scammer asks to remote into her computer.#Also! Scammer Payback is a scambaiter with a large following. He collabed with musicians to make a soundtrack. The songs pass as love songs #and stuff but they're about scammers/scamming/scambaiting and it's great. It's Al energy.#Anyway she VERY RARELY goes live on camera bc she dislikes being on camera in real time as there's no editorial control #but this is the sort of thing she wants to be on camera for! she's also broadcasting.#So. Lots of fun improv with live music between calls. It'll be fun. You'll get to see her make music live. Live looping and live instruments #(I don't think city lights & rain on me are officially part of the soundtrack. it's just the same artists collabing. but they have good sax #solos and I think april fool's is The day for Al to unironically refer to herself as h*rny in a song.)#⌖ online #⌖ hellfie #OH! THE FIREARM! I had drafted Al doing an iconic moment from a pengu*nz0 video and decided to use it for this.#She has that bisexual lighting going on too. It's to match the vaporwave music and also bc it's classic youtube.

The Saga of the Bowler Hat: In Four Acts

Sep 30-Oct 15, 1961: Paris trip

We planned to hitchhike to Spain. I had done a spot of hitchhiking with George and we knew you had to have a gimmick; we had been turned down so often and we’d seen that guys that had a gimmick (like a Union Jack round them) had always got the lifts. So I said to John, ‘Let’s get a couple of bowler hats.’ It was showbiz creeping in.

Gustafson happened to bump into them the day they left, Saturday September 30. “They both had bowler hats on, with the usual leather jackets and jeans. They said they were off to Paris, so I walked down to Lime Street station with them and watched them go. They were an incredible pair: always great fun, irreverent, and so close.” [x]

We still had our leather jackets and drainpipes – we were too proud of them not to wear them, in case we met a girl; and if we did meet a girl, off would come the bowlers. But for lifts we would put the bowlers on. Two guys in bowler hats – a lorry would stop! Sense of Humour. This, and the train, is how we got to Paris. [x]

March 2-4, 1964: Filming A Hard Day’s Night train scene

The specially-hired train was destined for Minehead and back, where for the next three days scenes were filmed in the suitably cramped setting. There was a dining car for The Beatles to eat in...[their] dialogue was recorded using microphones hidden inside their shirts, but numerous retakes were required due to sound problems.

The first we did was the train, which we were all dead nervous in. Practically the whole of the train bit we were going to pieces.

I’m sure it’s less noticeable to people watching in the cinema, but we know that we’re dead conscious in every move we make, we watch each other. Paul’s embarrassed when I’m watching him speak and he knows I am. [x]

March 29, 1967: With A Little Help From My Friends day

At two o’clock in the afternoon John arrived at Paul’s house in St. John’s Wood. They both went up to Paul’s workroom at the top of the house...John started playing his guitar and Paul started banging on his piano. For a couple of hours they both banged away. Each seemed to be in a trance until the other came up with something good, then he would pluck it out of a mass of noises and try it himself. They’d already established the tune the previous afternoon. Now they were trying to polish up the melody and think of some words to go with it.

“Are you afraid when you turn out the light,” sang John. Paul sang it after him and nodded that it was good. John said they could use that idea for all the verses, if they could think of some more questions on those lines.

“Do you believe in love at first sight,” sang John. “No,” he said, stopping singing. “It hasn’t got the right number of syllables. What do you think? Can we split it up and have a pause to give it an extra syllable?”

John then sang the line, breaking it in the middle: “Do you believe—ugh—in love at first sight.”

“How about,” said Paul, “Do you believe in a love at first sight.”

John sang it over and accepted it. In singing it, he added the next line, “Yes, I’m certain it happens all the time.”

They both then sang the two lines to themselves, la-la-ing all the other lines. Apart from this, all they had was the chorus: “I’ll get by with a little help from my friends.” John found himself singing “Would you believe,” which he thought was better.

Then they changed the order, singing the two lines “Would you believe in a love at first sight/Yes I’m certain it happens all the time” before going on to “Are you afraid when you turn out the light,” but they still had to la-la the fourth line, which they couldn’t think of.

It was now about five o’clock. [x]

The Beatles began by recording the rhythm track in 10 takes, the last of which was the best. It had Paul McCartney on piano on track one, George Harrison’s rhythm guitar on two, Starr’s drums and cowbell played by John Lennon on three, and George Martin playing organ on track four.

A reduction mix, numbered take 11, made free some space on the tape for further overdubs. Starr then added his lead vocals to tracks three and four, with backing vocals by Lennon, McCartney and Harrison. This session ended at 5.45am, and recording for the song was completed on the following day. [x]

1967-1968: Paul’s favorite artist inspires Apple Corp name and logo

We were discovering Magritte in the sixties, just through magazines and things. And we just loved his sense of humour. And when we heard that he was a very ordinary bloke who used to paint from nine to one o'clock, and with his bowler hat, it became even more intriguing.

René Magritte, The Son of Man (1964)

One day [Robert Fraser] brought this painting to my house. We were out in the garden, it was a summer's day. And he didn't want to disturb us, I think we were filming or something. So he left this picture of Magritte. It was an apple - and he just left it on the dining room table and he went. It just had written across it "Au revoir", on this beautiful green apple...So it was like wow! What a great conceptual thing to do, you know. And this big green apple, which I still have now, became the inspiration for the logo. And then we decided to cut it in half for the B-side!

René Magritte, Le Jeu de Mourre [The Game of Mora] (1966)

The title was found by Magritte's friend, the Belgian poet Louis Scutenaire, and is probably a play of words on Les Jeunes Amours [Young Love] (1963), the title of a work by Magritte showing three apples. The game of mora is "a game in which one of the players rapidly displays a hand with some fingers raised, the others folded inwards, while his opponent calls out a number, which, for him to win, has to correspond to the total of the raised fingers.” [x]

Epilogue

Paul McCartney’s 1989 My Brave Face single cover

#bowler hat #john and paul #mclennon #blaming friendodorothys tags for this #one google search in curiosity led me down quite a rabbit hole #i had no idea how deep the bowler hat thing went #but MLH did as shown in his j&p fanfic #theres two bowler hats in paris but fairly sure both AHDN and mar 67 are pure hat stealing #fashion accessory stealing is paul's equivalent of a hair twirl #also that game of mora thing is nuts do click the links #im now convinced that apple painting is cursed #violating my 1980s dont exist here rule :(#only because i realized the glasses are a dead match for johns 67 ones #and i couldnt stop thinking about it #then i realized the writing of it links with paul missing the induction ceremony and i was a goner #the labyrinths #fic bunny #for whoever wants it #1961 paris trip #a hard day’s night filming #march 1967 #rene magritte #the dangers of iconography #cursed apple painting #my brave face #paris #paul wearing johns things #mine

something i love about writing / metaing / thinking about kav.eh is just how complicated his personality is considering how many self-aware contradictions he holds. like, hes aware of how being naive is as good as securing your death in the type of life he lives but still falls for a keychain scam for the sake of helping others, continuously goes into the desert in unsafely conditions for himselr despite having a deadly fear of such a place following his fathers death, believing himself to be lacking of any dignity despite consistently giving away every possession and any piece of himself / his time / his spirit to everyone around him. refusing to make money in any place apart from architecture but still allowing his clients to treat him very cruelly, stressing the importance of him moving out and setting fully on his own two feet but spending the money / gifts on those around him the moment he recieves .... (the list goes on here)

#❛ ♡ › jupiter : 𝐨𝐨𝐜.#this came into my head just before i had to go out as 12 different paragraphs i really couldnt link together until i thought about it like #kaveh being such a complexity just makes writing him so much fun bc things he does say ... never rlly match up #but also makes the whole him and alha.itham being mirrors thing so much more FUN bc #kav.eh is the most complex thing in alh.aithams simple life #alhait.ham remains the main piece of simplicity / structure in kav.ehs #WHICH THEY BOTH CLAIM TO HATE BUT ...#what kav.eh said to al.haitham should have in his usual mindset been the end. BUT NOPE. alha.itham still chose to keep the house #despite not taking anything else of their project (a complexity-l #still chose to take kav.eh in after all he said (another complexity-)#STILL CHOSE TO DO THIS MASSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP PARTLY BC HE KNEW IT WOULD PROVE SOMETHING TO KAVE.H (COMPLEXITY)#kave.h after his fight chose to let go and give up a project on smth he believed was right (simplicity-)#chose to move in and get himself (somewhat) back on his feet following al.haithams offer of help (simplicity)#developed BOTH PLANS and habits for his usual unprecedented events (simplicity-)#anyway hello its 10pm im emotional

I decided to see if I could finish this pic today. I had started it after seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but just hadn't finished it. It kind of represents my first impression of Kylo Ren.

(By the way, Vader-sama means the same thing as lord Vader, but I'm poking fun a bit by comparing Kylo Ren to an obsessed anime fan randomly using foreign words. ...And it's possible to say 'samaaa' with an annoying whine, while it's not as easy to say 'lord' that way.)

#star wars #the force awakens #anakin skywalker #darth vader #kylo ren #In this situation Kylo Ren is kind of the one doing the haunting and the ghost is getting annoyed.#When I'd first started the pic Anakin had turned out well but I couldn't get Kylo Ren's pose to look right.#Then I had come back to it later and figured out Kylo Ren but I hadn't finished shading everything and I can't remember why.#Since I had apparently wanted to try matching textures I had to find the references I had been using in order to finish shading it.#I had saved the images in a browser favorites folder. Most of the links are broken now.#Today I shaded Anakin's belt and under shirts and pants today and all of Kylo Ren's outfit except the cape thing (and redid his shadow).#I also added the ghost effects today.

Well, I didn't really want to draw actual sparring is the main reason this turned out like this. The justification is that they're both fairly smart, and can spar with words, or have a battle of wits, or something along those lines.

What do you think they're arguing about? I don't know, except that it's probably more likely to be about something dumb than intellectual, but who knows? Maybe it's both.

@zelinkweekofficial

Zelink Week 2022 | July 15 | Day 5 | Sparring

#zelink week 2022 #oops I forgot to draw the Sheikah part into the Sheikah slate #not going to fix it at this point just know I messed up #the idea behind that was maybe they might be arguing who was better at using it now (post-calamity) but it's up to your discretion #(discretion instead of interpretation bc I have a Phineas and Ferb song stuck in my head and the words matched up then i HAD to)#and yes I WILL stand by my statement that Link is actually smart because he's able to figure out those shrines and stuff #it's a different kind of smart than zelda's #he's smart but he usually chooses not to be #and I'm fairly sure the artwork is deteriorating that's what I get for doing the first five in one day #it doesn't feel so cutesy anymore #I guess I'll wait until monday to do more #*SIGHS*#zelink #zelink week #loz #legend of zelda #botw #breath of the wild #lou draws
