ok i just wanted to add my two cents to the analysis of reuenthal's thought train in ep 93 of logh. no major spoilers but it's better to come back later in case you haven't seen the ova yet

so people have already analyzed the hell out of this particular frame (i apologize for the blurry screenshots i took hastily from laserdisc rip on archive.org, might fix that later) with reuenthal imagining his mother looking as himself and her lover as a guy who looks suspiciously like mittermeyer

well i just found more proof that this is not a flashback or an accurate retelling of the actual events. rather this is some sort of elaborate fantasy that reuenthal orchestrated in his mindscape.

even though it's extremely on the nose i haven't seen anyone else before me pointing that out! so i apologize if somebody did and i missed that.

anyway, let's go back to ep 28 (portraits). this is the first time we see reuenthal talking about his mother and his family in general. and what we see is that ova actually shows us a portrait of his mother (not just in one frame but in two):

yeah that's right. her hair isn't dark it's blond-ish. and despite that, oskar still imagines her as having dark hair (just as himself) a few seconds later.

might have been an animation blunder but i want to believe that this decision was deliberate. there are more things hinting at this whole thing being made up (others have pointed them out already), such as the inconsistency of the "flashbacks": the suicide of reuenthal's mother is portrayed very differently in ep 28 and in ep 93. since he couldn't possibly remember her death accurately (even the books mention this) the most likely scenario is that his father is at fault, and he shifted the blame onto the child - probably telling oskar that he's "just like his mother", and he internalized it. gender delirious

i also think that ova creators specifically chose to go this route. i haven't read the source material in its entirety but from what i understand there's no mention of reuenthal being a carbon copy of his mother appearance-wise. moreover, in die neue these (which some praise for being truer to the books than ova) it is the father who looks exactly like him. so ova constructed this personal freudian hellscape just for my boy reuenthal. i rest my case

LOTR AU Siegrein!

Usually, I would never pass an opportunity to draw Reinhard in a long flowy robe/dress, but this way fits them more. A hero and someone who choose him, despite all. It's a reverse Aragorn/Arwen where Kircheis forsake his "mortal" life to become "immortalized" with Reinhard.

It's a bit funny that to parts of my circles I'm 'the fandom one'/'the fanfic one'/'the shipping one' as the person they know most prominently into such things

because as much as i love writing my fics and shipping my ships my interest in both of those things is, I think, very narrow and specific compared to most people who are into them? due to my habits being like. very particular

In the spirit of drawing while on the clock, I've grabbed some recent sketches that i'm pretty okay with and am dumping them here, on the clock. Version with the ladies coming soon.

Fic Writer Tag

I was tagged by Anonymous - thanks, hoss.

How many works do you have on AO3?

I have 32 works on AO3, with an original work that is ongoing.

What’s your total AO3 word count?

There's nowhere that tells me, but a rough estimate? Over 260k

How many fandoms have you written for, and what are they?

At AO3? 5

Golden Kamuy (18) ALL OUT!! (6) Gungrave (4) Legend of the Galactic Heroes (2) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1)

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Stolen Soul is my fandom opus featuring the rare pair of OTANI/TANIO (Ogata/Tanigaki/Ogata), and it's got 89 Kudos.

In second place is Shōganai, another Golden Kamuy fic with 76 Kudos. It is part of a tetralogy of Hyakunosuke Ogata/Genjirou Tanigaki stories that begin pre-canon and end just before the raid on Abashiri.

The three remaining stories in that tetralogy round out my top five: Don't Look at Me, Haitsu Taiken, and Bunkatsu-sen—all with 76-73 ish Kudos each.

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I always thank readers for commenting, and if I know them from other outlets, I will converse a bit.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Most of my fan fiction has angsty endings. One that stands out is Beta Clones (a Star Trek DS9 fic).

Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

No.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Oh, absolutely - but never in the comments.

GK fandom provided mostly anons and neck-talkers and sub-tweeters that slagged me as a person and sometimes insulted my fiction.

Say what you want about my work and its themes bothering you, I don't care - but making up shit about me was a whole other kind of strange I wasn't ready for...

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Oh, I write me some smut - and it's typically gay.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I've had two of my published works, and an unpublished script plagiarized. Never checked my fanfic.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I've had five of my published works translated and a few of my Gungrave fics translated.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Fanfiction - no. Fan comics - yes, I consider the artists my co-writers.

What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Oh wow - it's a tie between KUGASHIRA/LEE (Gungrave) and OTANI/TANIO (Ogata/Tanigaki/Ogata)

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I'd love to finish Nach vorn Kommen (a LOGH fic), but I don't think it's in the stars.

What are your writing strengths?

I want to say dialogue.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Narrative pacing. I'm used to writing for artists or actors - not readers. I'm getting better.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

If I don't know the language, I find a native speaker to make sure I write it correctly. For original work, I use Italics and then denote the language being spoken in a dialogue tag.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Fandom? Oh, wow. Gundam Wing? My first fanfic, though, was Facts of Life, and I was about 12.

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I typically write stories or pairings I cannot find elsewhere. That being said, I like all my fics and don't have a diehard favorite - but I'm very fond of Obstacle, an AO!! fic featuring Daigo Takashi and Iwashimizu Sumiaki.

I don't know anyone here enough to tag them - if you see thisand you write fanfic, feel free to take it.

If you were given the chance to rewrite Legend of the Galactic Heroes, who would you go about doing it and why? Don't be afraid to go into detail about it.

I have thought about this for a long time and my answer is this: if I were to rewrite LOGH, I would put in it less sexism and more Kircheis/Reinhard gay sex onscreen

Fellas does anyone know the full song to this:

I found it today while I was making gifs of one of the characters and it’s been living rent free in my mind because Linz has such a good singing voice and the song is so beautiful and it’s ANOTHER SONG I’m going to cry to in the future

LOGH + My Immortal quotes

[burinazar]

((mildly discoursey. also old/repeated thought)) insane to me belavue is the one that like three ppl have tried to start fights with me over the presumed problematic-ness of when it'd be easier to bullet-point reasons wabe is cancellable and i openly enjoy that one quite a bit too lol

just incomprehensible to me that this is the one single ship people have ever started shit with me for

it's basically a Freyang tier of sweetie pie 4 sweetie pie
