Hellsing 2002 calendar illustration.
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'

i wish gdq had a newsletter
#im in the discord server now but i hate servers as a primary way of communicating information other than checking the website#newsletter could do so much. updates on upcoming big events + hotfix schedule#during events it could include some notable highlights from runs#and it could even have stuff like interviews with runners or showrunners or the tech crew!!#could be a writer's choice recommendation of older vods for viewers to check out#more info on charities or like. stories of how gdq funds have helped ppl in need#idk it could be a really cool thing i love getting newsletters#lots of room for creativity while offering an easier alternative information source#so people don't have to join (and mute) the discord server or remember to regularly check the website#gdq

literally just looking at various potential research labs for grad school and my brain has the audacity to give me the “fucking up the protein purification in front of everyone so badly they all think I’m an idiot” nightmare again
#haven’t had that bad boy since I left my research tech job#to be fair I’m p sure I’m the only person in the labs I’m looking at that has ever even purified a protein#like. of the labs I’m looking at the only wet labs are somewhere that doesn’t have the equipment on site#the others aren’t wet labs at all#but it is funny bc I was talking to a potential PI and she mentioned a problem that I could consider working on and my brain was like. well#this is prob best approached by enzyme activity assays#and I’m p sure this guy can’t be assayed in vivo#so. protein purification for in vitro testing?#but I HATE PURIFICATION.#and also literally if I wanted to do it I’d have to go to the other campus that has the centrifuges and liquid nitrogen!!!!!#which is fucking bizarre to me bc I worked somewhere where those things were standard#the university doesn’t even have an fplc……….#they simply don’t do that shit. which is kinda the point bc I don’t like that shit#and YET#somehow this specific problem offered to me as a potential thesis activates my sleeper agent purification brain#maybe if I were purifying my Own proteins for my Own assay to answer my Own questions……….#like. I wanna study evolution and genes!!!!!!#but if your genes keep having similar deletions in a protein under a certain condition I wanna know why????????#is it loss of function????? and if it’s not how is it changing function???????? how is it benefiting the organism?????#I was like okay well. have you tried knockouts of wild type and subbing in just this mutation#and PI was like /: we try to avoid knockouts bc expensive#and I realized how spoiled I have been bc I was in a lab where we already had and could afford knockouts and double knockouts#like oh you wanna study this gene? wanna sub in a modified version?#cool let’s order primers we have the knockouts you can put it on whatever plasmid expression system you want#that said. we did not have a plate reader or easy access to genotyping esp expression mass spec so#pros and cons. they do different stuff that they are set up for#but also apparently during Covid the prof that studies malaria literally used his own blood bc he couldn’t afford to source it#which. honestly given current events it’s good to know everyone already can buckle their belts and run a lab on two cents and fellowships#456 words#lab tag

System things is forgetting about my 13yo otherkin "phase" and only remembering it when I realize that one of my alters has been around for over a decade. I just used to think of it as a "kin."
#otherkin#nonhuman#tigerkin#animal alter#system things#osdd#osddid#this is one of the few alters we have a source for#the source is from when i was 5 years old#it took a childhood artifact to help me put the clues together#i think it's pretty cool#but my cognition running a background program that is a large feline predator#is still highly inconvenient#protector#emotional part

Finally got my one shower for the week in town and immediately nullified it when I realized I actually had time to go explore the creek by the road up the mountain.
I have acquired the curse of minor creek grime for another week. However! I did find a giant signal crawdad and a bunch of different mayfly larva, so it evens out.
#I only get one shower (sometimes two) because I don’t have access to running water at my cabin so I have to drive an hour into town#to shower at crew quarters#just as an explanation#being knee deep in a creek Can fix me#also found salamander eggs in my main source drinking water#which was cool but also#I drink that#travel logs#tales from the lookout

you wake up, you look in the mirror, the face you see is not yours- your hair is the wrong color, your limbs feel all wrong- but you recognize yourself in those eyes- "this isnt real" everyone tells you- "thats not you" you look at the self in your mind and its oh so clear- thats you, youve been here, thats always been you "youre not acting yourself" but are you not another self than the one they last met? that wasnt you- thatll never be you- their voice sounds like "you" their face looks like "you" but that wasnt you- this body is wrong this body is wrong this body is wrong- your life is different- different world different friends different people different place and time and rules- you know who you were you know you know but its "wrong"- you try to change you try to be seen in a way where others will understand you but it always falls short- you fall back into old habits- the way you speak is so uniquely your own and not that of the others... the way you act speaks of a self youve long since tried to look past- the way you are- you will always be yourself- always always always no matter who believes you, you will always be you- and thats not "wrong", is it?
#my posts#plurality#kirio speaks!!#this is about my own experiences as a fictive and a nonhuman alter and as someone whos been denied a lot of medical attention i needed#but if you relate to it its ok#its cool ta reblog an all that too ion mind#but its ok ta be you an i dont think i realized that much till lately#like i look back at myself from source an i look at myself now and i feel kinna strange like melancholy or nostalgia like#wow i really have changed a lot and thats not a inherently bad thing#but sometimes it comes with this dysphoric feelin of 'when do i stop bein kirio ami and start bein someone else'#but i guess ill always be *me* just a different form of me- a form with free will and growth???#and like i have soo-won ta thank for that of course but thats a story fer another day#and uhhhh#like iunno i still do fall back inta old habits of like extreme manic episodes whenever things go south but#i guess i prolly shouldnt dwell in it as much as i do#also i know this is more serious than my usual posts but its not like something id put on my vent acc#so idk where else id put it#its weird lookin in tha mirror an seein a human being-#i guess we aint too different in tha long run but we definitely aint tha same either- its strange#not in a bad way just in general- it feels different#i could go on about it fer hours honestly#my head always itches where my horns used ta be-\#ameri said it was some phantom feelin but godddd its annoyin#when we get stressed we like- start ticcing??#not somethin i did before but it feels uncomfortable as hell just losin bodily control#and like all sortsa lil thangs

Rereading something I wrote in my last year of high school/first year of college and the contrast between genuinely good characterization and effective storytelling versus clunky exposition and the most asinine nonsense imaginable is astounding
#like on the one hand there's some parts here im still really proud of. cool ideas and moments that capture the vibe of the source material#but on the other hand you've got a guy whose whole thing is being a genius apparently not knowing how to get his hands on strawberry milk#or like. the fact that multiple plotlines are kicked off by characters simply running into each other at a store#it's the kind of thing where im like. man i want to go back and revisit this. make it better#but at the same time without the weird lame stuff it wouldn't feel the same

When your friend says that Aphrodite isn't very cool (especially in comparison to Dionysus, Apollo and Hermes) and now you're boarding up your windows and not going out of the house in fear of being associated with her
#she also told me to stop 'kinkshaming' danaë and leda????????#her main source: pjo#not me having to explain to her that ares is actually a pretty cool guy and her being like 'oh he didn't r word anyone wow so impressive'#AFTER I EXPLAINED HOW HE WAS WORSHIPPED BY THE AMAZONS AND WAS QUITE A FEMINIST#greek mythology#aphrodite#brb running away to mexico to hide

trying to gently explain to someone that you do not make an oc for a decades-old thing that has one of the most autistic and lore-entrenched fanbases without being willing to do either 1) a cursory wiki skim beforehand about the extensively well-established canon you're supposedly building your character off of, or 2) prepare for people to Not Like Or Understand What You're Going For, Here
tl;dr if you wanna do an alternate interpretation of a d&d god (and llolth??? being a sad misunderstood and distant power who didn't want any murdering done in her name????? and Personally treats a *male* cleric well???? is Definitely an alternate interpretation) then...make your own setting and write or DM for it?? instead of being mad that other people would share lore with you bc what you've come up with directly contradicts the canon that everyone else is going by???
#stirring up trouble#that aita made me spit blood. and while i am inclined to say theyre not an asshole bc i think its just a Rookie Mistake on that OP's part...#You Are The One Kicking Down The Sandcastles In The Sandbox Actually. ive done the same thing as a newbie to fandoms yknow#speculative headcanons for shit i simply didnt know existed. but when i got corrected i simply adapted and reworked my headcanons#instead of getting mad that someone else was willing to share knowledge and cite sources. *shrugs* long as they arent mean abt it.#anyway for those of you who are not aware: llolth is so fucked up even other evil gods avoid her. she's beefing with tons of them#llolth-worshipping drow society is also INTENSELY matriarchal. men are breeders or cannon fodder. llolth also LOVES infighting#and maintains her stranglehold on underdark drow by choking out rival faiths and 'culling the weak' via Lots Of Assassinations And Murders#so that only her bestest and most specialest followers get to live. basically turning them all into zealots. this is literally the canon.#and ***that*** is the goddess this person chose to 'save' their cleric dude???? comparing her to catholic god in that post even. like. what.#but hey. homebrew or with a dm that's cool with it?? fine. just. not in a freeform rp discord running off of forgotten realms canon. wtf

Brad: I've been working on some origami. This is a hat. *Holds up origami* And this is a boat. *Holds up identical origami. He places it in the river and it sinks* That must have been the hat.
#source: paws of fury: the legend of hank#it's blazing saddles but with cats and dogs#it was pretty average#but it had this bit#and samuel l jackson as a cat whose opening line was “you wanna get high?” referring to catnip#so kudos to whoever got that past the censors#it's just not as cool seeing a cartoon horse get punched and fall over#or cartoon characters running through a cinema with terrified cartoon moviegoers#maybe it would've been better with live action moviegoers and an irl mel brooks cameo 🤷♀️#brad majors#shock treatment 1981#shock treatment#shock treatment movie#the rocky horror show#rockyhorror#rocky horror picture show#the rocky horror picture show

i love how you trash on fanon things specifically when they’re about the robins so i was wondering if you could tell us which do you think are the worst things that people have come up with?
HAHAHAHAHA thank you anon this is actually an honor ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 let’s see. the dick only eats cereal thing is annoying. i was thinking about it earlier and i do think it was the fanon thing i’d stumbled upon that was weird and surprised me. id heard of it and believed that it was an odd fanon thing that existed but actually encountering it was another experience entirely. jason’s personality is also very….. i don’t know. fandom leans hard into the lit thing which is Fine but. i don’t know. woobification is Also a problem with him i think when it shouldn’t exist like he did very bad things. that’s fine. idk
i also can’t lie, the popular fanon belief that the boys (ie dick and jason mostly it seems like) use nicknames for each other/other siblings is a bit hard to swallow. like that post that’s like jason would NOT be calling anyone baby bird or whatever because he hates everyone, like that is so true. but also with dick? i just. i don’t know. i once saw a post where someone documented actual canon nicknames, i’d love to find it again, but genuinely, in my reading so far—which is pre flashpoint so idk maybe cursed rebirth strikes again there—i haven’t encountered any nicknames ppl like to use in their fics like idk. baby bird. again. little wing?? drawing a blank but You know what i’m talking about….
and i know it’s a thing of affection but i think affection between them can be expressed in a way different from that, i just see the nicknames as being the go-to, if that makes sense? i’m not sure if any of this sense it’s 2am and i am eepy bear with me
steph and waffles seems overdone too. and as we all know. i loathe tim’s fanon personality. the whole sleep deprivation making coffee his entire personality thing is so annoying. and making him meek and shy. AND woobifying him. like that boy has flaws. he has so many flaws. he’s so much more interesting with his flaws. Can we please talk about the flaws.
it’s really just when people oversimplify their personalities that annoys me. dick becomes the happy ‘nice one’ (which isn’t true/again oversimplifying), jason is the ‘mean but soft one,’ tim is the ‘smart/coffee/exhausted one’, cass is the ‘nice quiet one’, steph is the ‘comedic relief,’ duke is the ‘normal one’ (this one REALLY annoys me LMAO), damian is…. the ‘bratty/animal obsessed’ one? (must confess i am not versed in damian’s fanon i think he may be exempt from it—the worst of it but again could be wrong—BUT i do think people take the easy route with his personality sometimes and then with jon. yeah. yeah)
so like out of that. honestly it’s all bad for me. i’m SURE i’m forgetting some stuff but that’s really the core of it and i guess what i consider to be the worst of fanon and the ones that annoys me the most. what about you anon what do you find annoying ❤️🩹 also thank you for letting me be a hater here 🫶🫶 LMAO
#disclaimer i guess there’s nothing wrong with it. But i am A Little Bit annoyed when it is constantly shoved into our faces#and make up like. 75% of the content of the fandom#my personal bone to pick with is tim and how hard it is to find stuff that doesn’t fall into fanon#i’m just very picky at the end of the day#and i can’t believe i’ve turned into a person who is like. Hello. Canon. but like. I AM#especially because. others have said it. people Not Reading The Source Material is like. a popular thing#a point of pride even. and i just. yeah. yeah#like there are so many cool things you can pick up from the comics#so many cool references and tidbits of info#i picked up so much more about steph reading her batgirl run today. it was awesome!#not interacting with comics just doesn’t make sense to me and neither does these oversimplifications#although i guess it’s a matter of instant gratification. probably. sorry if that’s harsh i just. hmmmmmmmm#anyway. yeah. yeah#fanon can be fun on occasion bc i’ve indulged in it#but it is not a foundation to be built upon. for me i mean#inbox#anonymous

hey it's me black mold. thanks for running your window air conditioner all summer. whatever you do, do not regularly clean the removable filter. that's not necessary
you should also never ever unplug the air conditioner and stick a flashlight in the vent that blows air to see if we're in there. it's very bad, that place should not be checked
and whatever you do, if you've already made the mistake of unplugging it, don't remove it from the window for cleaning if possible. and whether it's possible to remove the unit or not, don't carefully disassemble the front panel, document where the screws go and plastic bits go, and open up the vent more to be able to get into it easily
as black mold, i'm an expert on this. you should heed my warnings: now, if you've somehow made the mistake of doing all of the above, you should not use warm water and dish soap to CLEAN the inside of the vent thoroughly. DON'T ever use a bottle brush to get into the hard to reach places. and certainly don't rinse and dry the cleaned area before carefully putting it back together
there's nothing wrong with us, black mold. we don't cause or exacerbate breathing conditions like asthma or other illnesses. it's cool, we're cool
furthermore, if you're capable of removing the window unit, DONT take a hose with the same soapy water and wash the portion of the window unit that sits outside the window and is therefore weatherproofed.
whatever you do, don't allow the air conditioner to dry before plugging it back in and turning it on again
and if you have a central air conditioner, you will definitely never ever consult a manual or sources online to perform a similar cleaning procedure on the cooling unit outside.
lastly, if you're physically unable to do the things we (the black mold) warned you not to do above, you should never ever ask someone to help you or hire a service to do it.
