Well, that unfortunately explains a whole frustrating lot about some questions I had pre-release.
Dracula is, while not their exclusive character (thank you public domain), one of Universal's oldest classic draws. Him, Frankenstein's Creature, and the handful of side bogeymen are the biggest hitters of the Universal Monsters crew. And unlike Renfield, TLVotD is the definition of classic horror! The Count's own gruesome bloodstained roots! It should have been promoted everywhere! Explosively!
And yet all this time, there's only been the one trailer. Barely any clips. Barely any interviews or BTS snippets I could scrape up, all of which would have been finished well before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strikes.
When you have to actively dig for movie updates instead of being bombarded with them in the inescapable ad barrage…that means there's nothing to promote with. Because nobody bothered to take care of the promotional needs for the movie.
No, The Last Voyage of the Demeter's not a masterwork of cinema. But it's a good period piece old school scary Dracula tale! It's a hundred times better than the generic Count Sexypire slop that's been churned out for decades! This movie was made for the fans of the book, fans of the monster! Which we almost never get to have! And it's getting screwed over because of studios' haggling and more of those lovely layoffs. Ugh.
If anyone out there has plans to see the movie in theaters, now's the time to get your ticket. With it getting axed on international releases and folks being only half-aware the thing's even happening, there's no knowing what a short shelf life it'll have on the big screen.

Day 5 of Rosain Quivan's Daily Logs
Started December 14th, 2023 at 9:41AM, Class
Finished December 14th, 2023 at 7:47PM, Home
Log #5 Type: Wednesday Artwork
Author's Notes moved to the end!
~*~
Fandom: Team Fortress 2
Title: “The Pyro”
Date of Creation: 17th of January, 2023
Art #1
Description: First day of the Daily Art challenge, starting off with a rough sketch of Pyro. Attempt at a usage of perspective, no colour… just like its soul.
Title: "Dr. Ludwig [MEDIC]”
Date of Creation: 17th of January, 2023
Art #2
Description: Rough sketch of Dr. Ludwig, the Medic, himself! Quick attempt at a portrait and perspective. No colour. Probably what he looked like before losing his medical license- ah, so serious!
Title: “Meet The Engineer”
Date of Creation: 18th of December, 2023 (assumption)
Art #3
Description: Yeehaw! A full-body refined work of everyone’s favourite Texan engineer, Dell Conagher! Shading and anatomy work, as well as some cool lettering.
Title: “Meet The Overseer”
Date of Creation: 19th of January, 2023
Art #4
Description: Cringey concept for a tenth class— The Overseer. Made before I knew the purpose of The Solemn Vow… rendering its conceptualisation practically useless. However, I may rework this in the future… if I can control the urge to belch!
Title: “Meet The Demoman”
Date of Creation: 20th of January, 2023
Art #5
Description: Probably my favourite and most refined artwork of the bunch! Scrumpy-fueled Demoman, sticky launcher in hand, with some cool anatomy and shading… and some pretty letters, hehe.
Title: “Rabiosa”
Date of Creation: 21st of January, 2033
Art #6
Description: Made after a gaming livestream I streamsniped of one of my first favourite TF2 YouTubers, Rabiosa! (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkTJZ2M7wKnaVefGN9UFb3Q) GO CHECK HIM OUT!!! Here, you can see that I was backstabbed… twice in a row during the stream. What a naive Medic I was… and uh, still am, LOL.
Title: “The Smoke of a Spy”
Date of Creation: 22nd of January, 2023
Art #7
Description: Ah, oui. Le Spy, so elegant, so sophisticated, so… smoke-filled. Maybe a little too much, it's becoming cancerous. Refined portrait practice and shading, with even cooler lettering!
Title: “Meet the Spy”
Date of Creation: 23rd of January, 2023
Art #8
Description: And now, for the final piece, the Spies have multiplied! Each with their own motives to kill one another... and both twice as cancerous. I can only imagine the stink lines coming off of both of them. The only part of the series with some usage of colour! Plus, some shading, anatomy (which, admittedly, could be a bit better here) and, can you guess? Cool lettering.
And that's about it for today's little display of my earlier works. Hopefully, one day, we can see the difference in quality, for better or (though expectantly not) for worse.

Author’s Notes:
First day of following the set schedule from yesterday- yay! Like I mentioned in the post-script, this is the artwork I made in January from a TF2 Daily Art challenge I did, as well as some descriptions about them to give you some context on the intention of their creation. I'm also including the ones from the last post, just to give more context around them.
Also, quick reminder: you can give me suggestions for art &/ writing tomorrow, anything you'd like, as it is FRIDAY ORDER-OF-THE-DAY!!! (I... I don't know, I just needed something that rhymed. Don't question it). If there are none, I'll put up a fun poll to garner some ideas for next week, and I'll do something else instead of a request, too.
So, yeah, hope you enjoyed.
Have a good one, mate!

DAILY BLU
#94 goes to Syd (Scout) for 23!
23. How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?
When Syd gets envious, xey get reeeeally obsessed with whatever it is xey’re envious over. Xey get pettier, meaner, talk about how xeir envious about it and-
oh wait....that’s just how Syd is :/

hi I just want to ask where are you watching the mtp musical? I been meaning to watch for a while but not sure where to watch with good translation
Ah, hello!
So I have been collecting the blu-rays, which is a very expensive approach to say the least.
That's mostly because I haven't been able to find them either (admittedly, I don't think I was looking hard enough; There are copyright restrictions on YT, so I would suggest checking websites like Vimeo or Daily Motion)
That said, Kanasmusings has the scripts for all five musicals translated!
Otherwise, if anyone else can add on to this post, feel free!
