i'm glad you enjoyed brandon F
little note about the uniform thing, the reason why he drags on a bit on that is cause he's a reenactor, 18th century uniforms are his insane obsession. he even jokes about it in the video i sent, saying "i'm finally back to my insufferable self!" when talking about the muskets
i don't blame him tbh, after watching his content for a while i had the realization that 18th century isn't like the romans, whose equipment we deduce through archeology, old sources and guess work.
like, the actual documents that standardized 18th century uniforms still exist and are not hard to access, i realized that after Brandon noted that his source was the fucking British Royal Library in London. ( i mean ffs there's literally photos of Napoleonic era vets heres a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npSru7xEzX8)
and i honestly think its relevant, because if a million dollar historical production didn't want to put in the effort to go to a library and get the official documents. then what else they weren't bothered to get right?
but Brandon doesn't just do historical reviews he also talks a lot about the history in general. like, why fight in lines? what were marines in the 18th century? the history of tactics. and what role did cavalry play in line warfare? for example
heavens bless people of utube that manage to get hyperfixated on one topic for basically their entire life and then proceed to make stuff about it for us to watch, right? it's a delight to listen to someone who actually enjoys the subject and their subject therefore basically guarantees the authencity of what they put out
oooh but yes, the concept itself of what we actually get to know about things in what manner is fascinating in on itself. so since i was small i had been very fascinated by chinese mythology and mythology somewhat comes along with other parts of the culture and so on. and you know how the chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world?
as a result i've somewhat grown accustomed to the numbers that are typical to the span of chinese history and now whenever i go look into the history of my own country i'm actually stumped over how recently certain things happened! then again you wouldn't believe how oppressed or manipulated slovaks had been across history. ain't that right -glares at hungary-
to what extent we know which culture's history is so wild. the ability for certain historical things to simply last is absolutely incredible (such as military uniform documents or musical pieces of 18th century). fun fact! there's still messages written in stone by the soldiers of the roman empire on slovakia's territory. right near Danube, i think, p sure i visited that
thank fuck for reliable sourcing and also thank u for that vid that's gon come in handy for clothing references at Some point, i can feel it
and you are absolutely correct, yes! it Is relevant! as mister Brandon has said, there's of course a certain leeway allowed when it comes to more kid oriented stuff, but i'll admit! i was surprised to learn that serious historical productions apparently put less effort into these kind of things than the sea beast did (i don't usually watch those kind of things, i'm very fantasy/sci-fi and cartoon focused)
this kind of muddling of history that may seem "insignificant" to money grabbing bastards really screws up the perception of the eras for people who don't really have the time or the drive to look into things themselves. it's annoying
oh while we are on this history stuff, i saw this originally in utube shorts, but Apparently they are making a netflix movie or smth about Cleopatra and they made her black?? which is weird, considering that Cleopatra was greek and all that stuff. like don't get me wrong, yes give silenced/less known cultures like black folk more space to present themselves and who they are but like don't do it in a way that heavily skews the history? why are you going out of your way to create misinformation that could heavily impact understanding of history by taking out an already famous (not poc) person instead of Actually making the space for historically important black people. like maybe why not make a movie about that one super rich king from the southwestern coast of Africa (i think) that crashed the egyptian economy twice by being just too damn generous. that would be SO much more helpful to black peeps' history than shoving a black person into the place of a white one
i swear films nowadays either lack soul, heart, spine or brain like 98% of time

volgin // resident evil verse ( fleshed out )
my brief resident evil verse for volgin is -
"former russian military, volgin began working for the ubcs around the time of the raccoon city incident. initially 'one of the good guys' - when the shit hit the fan, he primarily looked out for himself. ultimately, this led to his 'demise' and though he survived the events of the city; he wasn't left without injury, having been caught in an explosion and knocked unconscious, finding himself awakening in the clutches of scientists. another experiment / bow to be made of him."
but i have since expanded this and added detail - i need to shoutout @ubcs for our little plot chats about the slimeys ( nikolai/volgin ) cause i'm gonna apply a lot of that storyline to volgin's re verse. ( i hope u dont mind me taggin u sosig )
sticking to what i wrote above, volgin was former-russian military ( and a former colonel ) whose brutal tactics saw him essentially kicked out of the military / kgb and instead forced into working for mercenary services. eventually, he fell into the ubcs - working within the group for general mercenary work.
this led to the raccoon city incident; with volgin partnering up with nikolai to essentially fuck everyone over and earn themselves a good amount of cash. despite their relationship being very much a give and take, rivalry/sleazy friendship - he mistakenly trusted nikolai only to be betrayed and infected with an experimental strain of the t-virus.
eventually retrieved by remaining umbrella scientists - volgin was further experimented on. a sort of strain of the t-veronica virus injected into him ( despite the veronica virus being unique to code veronica, i went for this virus because morpheus d duvall infects himself with the strain in dead aim - which gives him lightning imbued powers. it felt fitting ).
upon waking from experimentation; volgin is pissed. he appears as he does in mgs3/v; imbued with lightning / fire. he dons his rubber suit and his ultimate goal - is to fuck up nikolai as revenge for leaving him for dead / to be experimented on.
in future re verses, volgin is essentially a walking/talking experiment. he can play the role of villain or be a person others seek out ( for example, for his unique powers ). in the re village universe for example - he has been drawn to the village due to mother miranda's influence, with her drawing him there as a means to use or extract his powers in some way. man's still pissed about it all.

the brothers are separated when it happens. trainers come to the end of the single line to find it seemingly empty. emmet hears word and investigates the line himself, looking for his brother.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
oh nooo...he doesnt even know what happened either...
i like when partially clothes dont shrink sometimes for shock effect and a more empathsis on vulnerability sometimes. Clearly Ingo very much feels comfortable in his jacket and hat so the fact it didn't shrink w him (which gave Emmet + the trainers a scare when all they saw was his jacket n hat in a pile on the floor) but behold, gently searching through with careful hands shall reveal a poor, dazed Ingo unsure what happened or where he is (temporarily).

man... i’m really in the mood for some oneiric somnolence right now. lucidity as well. like in the sense that i’d like to be lucid while i’m awake but also lucid dreaming would be rad. what the hell does it mean to be “the other way around” in reference to a scepter in a shell though. if that’s not a reference it’s just utter nonsense which considering the themes of that song isn’t too out of place but that doesn’t excuse everything. god i’m tired
