TAG NINE PEOPLE YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER!
I. Favourite Colours: Any shade of green {forest and emerald in particular}, black, silver, garnet.
II. Favourite Flavours: Good coffee, deeply brewed tea, dark chocolate, coconut, and a 'scent flavour'... it's gonna either be beef being cooked on a fire, or specific to New Mexico... a crisp/cool afternoon when the sun is bright but not hot and you smell it...smoke, something earthy and green with an almost acidic bite if you breath it in just right. It's chile season, and it's being open roasted in giant metal roasters. And lastly, pinon.
III. Favourite Genres: Most fantasy though with a penchant for High Fantasy. True Noir/ Mystery, Horror, History/Alternative History. I do enjoy Romance and Sci-Fi {typically golden and silver age are most often forgotten but truly a guilty pleasure} but tend to prefer them blended with a different genre. Poetry is entirely different and for me it's more like music than narrative fiction, though I do have a soft spot for the Romantics, and the Beat Generation. {You can have my Kerouac and my Ginsberg whence you've pried them from my cold, dead, yaddah yaddah}.
And because I am a bastard, I'm going to ruin it all for you: Literally almost any Emily Dickinson poem can be read/sung to the tune of the Yellow Rose of Texas, or the theme to Gilligan's Island. You're welcome.
IV. Favourite Music: Classical, Tribal Trap, Country, Grunge, Classic Rock {stfu, G-N-R and them are not YET classic rock}, 80s Rock/Metal. Broadway Musicals, Rap/R&B, really just about anything. Probably my favourite singers are Eddie Vedder {yes, I know}, Geoff Tate who's is utterly incredible even after 40 years. And honestly? Garth Brooks.
V. Favourite Movies: SW: The Empire Strikes Back, Tombstone, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Strange Days, Highlander, CA:TWS, Doctor Strange, ST: The Undiscovered Country and just so so so many more.
VI. Favourite Series: Constantine, Doom Patrol, Legends of Tomorrow, Supernatural, Babylon 5, Farscape, Loki, ST: DS9/TNG/TOS/SNW {Really all of them except Voyager and Discovery}, Salem, Original Charmed, Witches of East End, Burn Notice, Fargo, Resident Alien, Res Dogs, Longmire, Justified, Dallas {Original and Revival} and Dark Shadows {Original AND Revival}. Family Guy, Bob's Burgers {and Archer}. Robot Chicken. Lastly I'm also going to say the Orville, which yes is a sort of parody of Star Trek, but also an homage, and a surprisingly well written one.
VII. Last Song: Paint it Black ~ Ciara cover, Superhero ~ Johnny Hollow
VIII. Last Series: Loki Episode 1-Season 2 or American Gigolo Episode 1.
IX. Last Movie: The Noel Diary, The Dark Knight trilogy
X. Currently Reading: Ten Little Indians anthology by Sherman Alexie, Digitisation and Digital Archiving: A Practical Guide for Librarians {second ed.} by Elizabeth R Leggett, ¡Sin resolver! Misterios de la historia by Dona Herwick Rice.
XI. Currently Watching: The Fall of the House of Usher, Loki, Resident Alien
XII. Currently Working On: The 500 or so posts I owe across my blogs. I am so sorry for being absolute fail.
~*~
Tagged by: @nightmarefuele my sweet and disturbing C.
Tagging: @fasciinating, @respondedinkind, @chiefofstafftanner, @smolcuriouskitten, @rhodestoruin, @lalamoon, @mouthoftheocean, @ifyoucatchacriminal, @morgansmornings and anyone who would like to do this!

Remembering King Henri IV
His Majesty King Henri IV
Today, we honor the profound legacy of King Henri IV, a monarch who skillfully navigated the delicate balance between modernity and tradition in the post-WWII era. The youngest child and only son of King Henri III, he ascended to the throne during a pivotal time, guiding Genevria with wisdom and vision.
Her Majesty Queen Josephine, heiress of the Ducal House of Tancarville.
His union with Josephine de Tancarville, the esteemed heiress of the Ducal House of Tancarville, was not just a marriage but a partnership that strengthened our nation. Together, they welcomed Marie-Joséphine, Madame Royale, and Prince Henri, Dauphin of Genevria, whose life, alongside his wife Anne-Marie, daughter of King Constantine XII of Poseidyros, was cut tragically short, leaving a void in our hearts.
From this lineage of courage and compassion, emerged our present Queen, who inherited the throne from her beloved grandfather one year ago. She carries forward the legacy of King Henri IV with the same dedication to our nation’s future.
Their Royal Highness the Dauphin & Dauphine of Genevria
Let us reflect on the enduring impact of King Henri IV’s reign and express our gratitude for the path he paved for Genevria. Share your thoughts and memories as we commemorate this significant day in our history.

I've had a theory about Constantine XI that I've had since reading his in-game profile: there is a very strange lack of any mention to his Marble Emperor legend (and none of his skills reference that either), his Theodosius Constantinos NP is ranked B+, but in his parameters, his NP is ranked EX, and lastly, there is a section in his profile that can't be unlocked yet. All of this leads me to believe that his 2nd, EX rank NP will be the missing reference to the marble emperor, and it will be an important plot point during Traum (I'm guessing a sort of "king in the mountain" trope).
I think you're 100% on to something here. Fate has nothing short of love for its "king under the hill/mountain" and the lack of relevance/attention to that particular legend bar the color palette of his 3rd outfit and FA is extremely suspicious.
Perhaps they'll spring on us that yes, he *did* become the Marble Emperor and actively lent his help during the Greek War of Independence and then to Constantine I of Greece (who was very unsubtlety nicknamed "Constantine XII") during the Balkan Wars?
That said, I won't be surprised if they won't because messing with 1800/early 1900 and two countries that very much do not like each other to this day would potentially open a can of worms that's better left alone (in general I think that alt-history in which the alteration happened centuries ago flies better and is more tactful than one that messes with more recent events. Case in point: better go "The ERE won the Battle of Mazinkert (1071)/the 4th Crusade was soundly repelled and that snowballed all future events till 1453 ended up being a boring year in which nothing relevant happened" than "a pissed off centuries old spirit aided his people in wars that broke out in 1821-1829 and then 1920' and *that* changed the tides of history").
#which is basically why i'm never gonna touch stuff that begins with 'the axis won' not even if it's the most masterfully wrote story#answer

Why Is The Gospel Of Mark First & Dating The Gospels - Dr. Mark Goodacr
COMMENTARY:
Christianity was a Roman provenance before the Roman soldiers and centurion guarding the tomb recovered from their induced stupor and shared vision of the unilateral covenant cutting ceremony beetwen God and the Italian Cohort of the Praetorian Guard and before the women arrived with the dawn, described in The Gospel of Peter, and were frightened by the soldiers as they began to rise out of the ground fog like Saints at the general resurrection.
An argument can be made, therefore, that the Gospel of Peter is actually the first Gospel, but it is actually the complete text of the intelligence report that Pilate sent to Rome under the urgent :need to know Tidings of Joy eyes of the Emperor, first" euangeliou signals protocol that compelled Tiberius to propose to enroll Jesus into the Roman Pantheon, which the Senate rejected because of their hatred and fear of Tiberius resulting from the public slaughter of Sejanus.
By the time Pilate's intelligence report got to Tiberius, every soldier in the Legions throughout the Empire had heard of the Resurrection. The cult of Emperor Worship that arouse in the legions decades after Resurrection and the Mithra Cult, which was a front organization for the Roman Jesus cult, originated directly from this jungle telegraph system of the soldiers, which is universal in all armies of all times. It is something the draft-dodging preachers of the Total Depravity Gospel of Christian conservatives and their nemesis, the militant evangelical anti-theists and ethically pretentious mythologists share in the absence: what it means to respond to Yaweh, Queen of Battle and Goddess of Duty.
The purpose of the prediction of the destruction of the Temple in Mark 13 is to earn the Jesus followers in Jerusalem when the XII Legion of Cestius Gallus invested Jerusalem in 66 and then suddenly left to get out of dodge because the shit was going to hit the fan as a consequence of the Battle of Beth Horon, which the Galilee militia Jesus formed and organized in Mark 6 participated in the ambush and destruction of the legion that led to the Jewish War. Which the Jesus Followers did and avoided the fate of Zealots and citizens of Jerusalem.
You are too young to remember Tet 1968 and the anti-war protests New Testament historians like James Tabor and Dennis MacDonald probably participated in, because they were so much fun. Chances are, they are unfamiliar with Yaweh, Queen of Battle, unless they are volunteer firemen or some such.
Jesus was a means to an end to everyone around him except Mary of Bethany and Mary Madelene before Resurrection and they all expected to become top dogs in the new Kingdom of Heaven Jesus seemed to be promising. Even John the Baptist expected Jesus to kick ass and take names in a warrior messiah kind of way but Jesus had another agenda.
Jesus was training His disciples to become a priesthood of servant leaders. He's pretty explicit aout it all the way through His ministry but finally lays it out to them in Mark 10:41. They remained obtuse until the end.
In contrast, Jesus discovered that the Roman centurion in Matthew 8:5 - 13 was part of a guild of republican servant leaders in the Italian Cohort of the Praetorian Guard that was the gyroscopic flywheel of the Legions, which was the source of stability and sustainability of the roman Empire, which persisted until Constantine dismantled it after the Milvian Bridge and the Empire began to fall rapidly apart.
I went to Vietnam on the basis of the Liberation Gospel of Jesus, George Washington and Pope Francis. The priorities of military leadership in the US Army since its creation in 1775 has been the Mission:Men:Self ethos of the republican servant leaders of the Italian Cohort of Cornelius. This is in contrast to the Me, Myself and I ethos of Nietzsche and the Alpha Male leadership model of the Harvard MAB program and the Total Depravity Gospel of Pat Robertson and Campus Crusade for Christ.
Now, the unilateral covenant cutting ceremony between God and the Italian Cohort in the Gospel of Peter is nominally identical to the unilateral covenant cutting ceremony between God and Abraham in Genesis 15 and is the second covenant mentioned in Jeremiah 31:31, the little talking cross being the ratification that the smoking pot of fire in Genesis.
The mundane numerology of the chapter and verse is important. It was added 15oo years after Jerusalem fell by the typesetters and is the play round of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus's mission was three fold: to establish a society of servant leaders to redeem Jerusalem from the Whore of Babylon, the Temple Worship and blood sacrifice; the agency of the Holy Spirit as an element of human dominion over the universe and a a validation of the God Hypothesis for dumbass Bible scholars who employ the dialectical Marxism of Post the Post Modern Historic Deconstruction conceits that became conventional wisdom in the American university system after the occupation of Columbia University by the Students for a Democratic Society during the 60s cultural war that washed up on the steps of the US Capitol on January 6.
Jesus and Cornelius answered to the same higher authority: Yaweh, Queen of Battle. I have been in a sky filled with helicopters going into a tiny hole in the triple canopy with a flurry of fire flies in the tree line and I have responded to the ululations of Yaweh, Queen of Battle more than one.
It was why I went to Vietnam. It is a feature of the Liberation Gospel of Jesus, George Washington and Pope Francis. The mooto of the US Army Infantry is "Follow Me!" We all played the role of Jesus in Ranger School.
Mission. men. Self. Go ask Prince Harry what that means.

Russian women near the Sharshenga River praying to trees. Kozma Prazhsky in the Czech Chronicle (XII century) reported that the Slavs prayed to trees in sacred groves. A similar observation was made by the German chronicler Helmgold (XII century), who described the life and customs of the Polabian Slavs. One of the veneration of trees among the Eastern Slavs, it is mentioned in the "Life of Constantine of Murom", and John Chrysostom spoke about the facts of the existence of special prayers to trees among the Slavic people. This practice is well known even today in Christianity. People didn't throw away their praying rituals of the past... Gods or a God, no matter what you believe or how, are great.

"In the era to which all this information pertains the described territories can in no way be considered a single political unit. House of Monomakh in Kyiv here was hostile to the House of Oleg in Chernihiv; princes of Siveria strived to distance themselves from Chernihiv, too; a fourth political force appeared in Pereiaslav, in support of Vladimir-Suzdal Duchy. The majority of the information on Rus in its specific definition was taken from descriptions of princely conflicts that took place in the area. There was no political unity in the forest-steppe Rus land in the XII-XIII centuries. Therefore, the definition of this area within the borders of geographical middle Dnipro basin with its left tributaries should be seen not as a reflection of the reality of XII century, but as an enduring reminiscence of a past historic period when the Kyivan land and Siveria were one, and that union included neither Drevlians nor Radimichi or Viatichi, who were neighbours to the Rus in the specific sense. Turning to written sources of any period is useless in defining the chronology of this mysterious region. The time of its existence is beyond the textual evidence we possess. The one hint is found in Constantine Porphyrogenitus (X century) who mentions some "inner Rus" around Kyiv, but does not elaborate."

Hellsing Liveblog Ch. 62-67
I guess this image sets the stage pretty well. This is the first part of the climactic Alucard vs. Anderson battle, featured in the story arcs “Hundred Swords”, “Might and Magic”, and “Psyoblade”.
So yeah, most of this is just action shots of Alucard and Anderson fighting. The main story beats here are the different forms they take on through the course of the battle. Alucard starts out in this Dracula form, which I assume is meant to depict how he used to look 500 years ago. He’s got armor and big sword and a mustache.
Anderson’s big idea here is that Alucard is vulnerable in this form, because he unleashed his horde of familiars to destroy the 9th Crusaders and Millennium troops. Now that he’s temporarily separated from those creatures, Anderson thinks he can finally kill him once and for all.
And it seems like Alucard isn’t opposed to the idea. He calls Anderson his “beloved rival”, and seems to enjoy the prospect of meeting his end at the hands of a worthy human adversary. But he’s also under orders from Sir Integra to destroy all of the invaders, and I’m pretty sure that includes Anderson. Soon enough, Alucard reverts to his default appearance, trading in his sword for his handguns.
This only makes sense, because way back at the start of this story, Alucard asked Walter to build him the Jackal, an even bigger, more powerful version of his original handgun, the Casul. I mean, why wouldn’t he try it out? Its bullets shatter Anderson’s bayonets with ease.
And Alucard still has his horde of familiars, the absorbed souls of all of his victims. There’s Ottoman soldiers, Wallachians, even those Brazillian cops that tried to kill him in his hotel room that one time.
Okay, so we know what the Catholics are doing while this is going on, because Anderson told them to retreat while he faced Alucard alone. But what is Millennium doing during all of this? Not much, actually. The Major just lost his entire invasion force down there, but he’s chilling out in his airship, enjoying the duel between Alucard and Anderson. He orders Walter to make him some hot chocolate. He seems pretty pleased with all of this...
And here’s a cool shot of Seras Victoria watching the fight.
So now Anderson has to fight his way through Alucard’s familiars to get at the monster himself. The odds are steep, but he’ll do it anyway, which pleases Alucard to no end. He’s thrilled to see another human daring to challenge him this way, just like Abraham van Helsing a century ago. Well, he doesn’t name names, but come on, we already saw him revealed as Dracula, so there’s no point dancing around this anymore.
Anderson’s arm gets badly injured, to the point where he has to carry it in his mouth as he fights on, but then his Iscariot colleagues show up to help. Anderson is pissed because he told them to clear out for their own safety, but Heinkel and Yumiko are just as fanatical as he is, and just as eager to die for what they see as a righteous cause. Anderson can’t talk them out of it, so he accepts their help.
This guy kind of looks like Anderson with black hair, but he’s not. He’s just some rando Iscariot dude. As they get overpowered by Alucard’s minions, or fatally wounded, they set off explosives to take out as many enemies as they can. So I guess they were just... carrying this stuff on them the whole time? I think I see now why they lost so many of their guys defending Integra from the Millennium soldiers.
At last, Anderson clears a path to Alucard, and he finally whips out his secret weapon, procured by Vatican Section III, the Matthew Organization. In the Hellsing-verse, the Catholic Church seems to have 12 sections that handle their business, each named after the twelve apostles, with Iscariot as the secret 13th section that does all the black ops murder-y stuff. Fun fact: After Judas Iscariot’s death and Christ’s ascension into heaven, the 11 apostles had a meeting and picked a new member, Mattias to round out their group. So I assume Section XII is the Mattias Organization, and they handle... I don’t know, maybe making those little communion wafers. But Section III handles ancient relics, like the one Anderson is holding in his hand.
Alucard recognizes this at once as the “Nail of Helena”, one of the nails used to crucify Jesus. I’ve heard of the others that Alucard mentions, but not this one. The Holy Shroud was the burial cloth used to put Jesus in the tomb, and widely believed to be the Shroud of Turin, although this is disputed. The Holy Grail, or “Holy Chalice” is supposed to be the cup Jesus used at the Last Supper, and was the subject of “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” The Lance of Longinus, also known as the “Spear of Destiny” was the spear that the Roman soldier used to pierce Jesus’ side when he died. This got a lot of play in DC Comics, which used the Spear as a plot device to explain why the Spectre couldn’t intervene in World War II.
The “Nails of Helena” refer to Helena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine, who converted the Roman Empire to Christianity. Helena went on a quest to find the cross used to crucify Jesus, and she supposedly succeeded. And now Alexander Anderson is holding one in his hand like Wolverine.
And this development takes all the wind out of Alucard’s sails. Not because he’s worried about losing, but because he wants to fight Anderson as a man. He knows that if Anderson uses the nail on himself, he’ll become some sort of miraculous creature, but give up his humanity in the process. In other words, he’ll just be another monster like Alucard.
But Anderson doesn’t care, because he’s not interested in such details. Alucard wants to die to a human adversary, but Anderson just wants to destroy Alucard, period. If the nail can make that happen, he’ll gladly use it.
And he does, and this leads to Anderson regenerating his damaged body parts with some sort of thorny tendrils. One of the Iscariots, probably Heinkel, likens this to the crown of thorns placed on Jesus’ head at the crucifixion. Alucard shoots Anderson in the face, but he just grows thorns in place of the wound. Anderson cuts off Alucard’s head, but we already know that won’t stop him.
Meanwhile, the crew of the Major’s airship are freaking out, because the ground forces have all been destroyed. The captain asks the Major for orders, and he tells him to arm the crew and give hand grenades to anyone who can’t walk. If they run out of weapons, then they can use steel pipes or whatever’s handy. The captain objects, arguing that the battle has been lost and there’s no longer any point in fighting, but the Major scolds him for missing the whole point of this.
This doesn’t really get explained in full until the end of the story, but I think it was already made clear that the Major’s sole purpose was war for the sake of war. Now that the battle is turning against him, it seems like a lot of his own goons don’t understand how far he was willing to take this.
One thing that confuses me is that the airship is apparently staffed by German naval officers. Presumably these guys were Nazis turned into vampires too, but the captain seems to have different sensibilities than the SS guys that died on the ground. It’s weird, because they’ve all been planning this invasion for the last 55 years, and so many of them still don’t understand the Major’s plan. Maybe he just never saw fit to share it with them, or he’s been intentionally deceiving them so they’d cooperate.
Anyway, the Major summons a pistol from his chair, and there’s this whole sequence where a mechanical arm hands it to him, but when he shoots the guy for insubordination, he misses. Then he orders his loyal men to do the shooting for him. Wait, so does Millennium have anti-vampire weapons too? I mean, we’ve already established that ordinary bullets don’t work on vampires, so why was the Major trying to shoot this dude in the first place?
Back to the fight, this is what Anderson looks like now, and he’s becoming less human as these thorn tendrils grow over his wounds.
And he finally gets the drop on Alucard, running him through the neck with one of his bayonets, and getting all that thorny stuff into the wound, which seems to do a real number on Al. One way or another, his army of familiars starts to burst into flames, so he’s in deep trouble.
