I choose to believe that Alucard keeps the metaphorical chains on (despite the fact that nothing is actually stopping him from removing them) solely because Integra has him that whipped.

Rewatching hellsing ultimate. Caught up in wondering why the fuck Alucard can release his own limit break. Like shouldn't someone approve this? What's the point if he can access his full powers at any time?

But then he turned into a dog and a hand came out of the dog's mouth and that arm had a gun in it and it shot the bad guy's leg off. And then I realized that none of this shit matters ☺️

小夜の縫うゆかた (Sayo's Self Made Yukata) by Moto Hagio, 1971.

One-shot that was recently scanlated by Box Head Idiot, who have already scanlated quite a few of Moto Hagio's works in English.

I'm cackling, I just found out about an unfinished manga by the group CLAMP (of Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHolic, and Chobits, among many others, fame) called Clover where they very heavily based several background illustrations off of environments from the Gadget series (plus a couple objects like the lightplane) blatantly enough that somebody involved with Gadget, probably the director Haruhiko Shono, must have been like "wait a minute" because the 2020 reissue hardcover edition credits Shono and the art book Inside Out with Gadget in the copyright section. See for yourself:

Look closely at the windows:

And here's the copyright section I mentioned:

There's a few other examples within the manga itself. It feels like at least one of the people at CLAMP played the games and/or read the art book and thought to themselves, "There's too many geezers in Gadget with alopecia, there should be hot young guys and melodramatic romance in here!"

One of the main characters in this manga is named Kazuhiko, I wonder if his name is a combination of the creators of Gadget, Haruhiko Shono and Hirokazu Nabekura? Maybe it's a coincidence.

Kazuhiko and another character named Gingetsu are both a little reminiscent of Theodore Slowslop in different ways, though put through the bishonen filter. I never thought somebody would think to yassify Slowslop of all characters to make an Expy out of, but it really looks like that's what happened.

Other than a few pilfered backgrounds and a couple other possible similarities that aren't as clear, Clover doesn't really have much to do with Gadget and it mostly does it's own thing.

experiencing a sort of "uncanny valley" effect where outright pornographic fanart looks normal but fanart that's just cheesecaked up a bit makes me confused and vaguely uncomfortable

The thing good bl understands is that the dom has to be abject. He has to be kind of a loser. This is essential.
