I'm late to the party... But the English translator seemingly also gave up at this point 😂

Husband...? Husband?! I mean, you could have chose partner or spouse. And we all know shinya is flirting. But HUSBAND?!?!

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 left my phone in my room and picked up an actual physical book and sat down on the balcony and read the whole thing can everyone please be so so proud of me

#for reasons that'd take way too long to explain im living at my grandmas house rn for around a month (she's not here)#and she has like a billion detective novels which i love but i lost the ability to read when i was like 12 #i do read books as pdfs sometimes but even that's rare... and they're usually dr w.ho/t.orchwood #it was curtain of poirot fame which I've seen like a billion times coz it's one of my #favourite poirot stories but i've never read it #ms christie is crazyyy coz somehow i still gasped out loud multiple times despite knowing the ending #it's also really cool that you 1000% can guess the ending if you pay attention #i almost always guess the murderer immediately w detective things but i usually watch shows where it's way easier imo #i mean i guess them in books too but they make it less easy coz shows have a limited cast and it's always obvious #anyway damn... i really wanna get back to reading so im gonna try to read other ones as well #she has tons of books in english hungarian and german so the selection is endless #mostly crime novels which is great coz i love those. no prizes for guessing who i get it from #barking

E͟L͟O͟I͟S͟E͟ ͟B͟R͟I͟D͟G͟E͟R͟T͟O͟N͟. ⸻ ❛ Eloise has quite a few opinions and isn’t afraid to share them with the world. Eloise thrives around other intellectuals, but she is more timid when it comes to finding a husband. Eloise is kind and appreciates the relationships in her life, but a part of her won’t stop yearning for something more. ❜

♱ Eloise Bridgerton, her parents' fifth child, a loner who always disappears mentally into her books, doesn't think much of her "noble" life. | now twenty-six years young, she still lives in London and because of her love of books she decided to become an author.

"I never wish to be easily defined. I'd rather float over other people's minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person."

-Franz Kafka (diary of March 24th 1914)

#It's geteilt! It's the SHIELD!#I have no frigging idea what does that mean in this context but yeah #Somethimes I wonder if I should've picked up German instead of Spanish #I'm lost scared but feeling silly because I just saw a schtappe chant :)#ascendance of a bookworm #honzuki no gekokujou #rozemyne #ascendance of a bookworm meme #ascendance of a bookworm light novel

"wow the musical of The Count of Monte Cristo has a cool song! I wanna read the book before I listen to any more though ^_^"

4½ months & 464k words later: was anybody gonna tell me that no full version of the soundtrack exists or

#in English at least. apparently it exists in German but I don't know German #am I gonna learn German just to be able to listen to this musical? .........#dgskfj catch me reading a 1.2k page novel AND learning a language just to find out the soundtrack was not fully released in German either 💀#in my defence. who the fuck releases a 'soundtrack highlights' album & nothing else. unprecedented musical theatre crimes #wolfythewitch I blame u for this #u & yr ridiculously captivating 'I Know Those Eyes/This Man Is Dead' Penelope/Odysseus animation #vignettes de ma vie #The Count of Monte Cristo
