Dolepky
Ďalší návrat k zbraniam z Báthoryovského cyklu. Tentokrát strelným.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Diablova pevnosť, kapitola 11, strana 275-6)
Ó áno, v dobách, kedy streľba spočívala v zdĺhavom nabíjaní po každom jednom výstrele, je zbraň s ktorou možno páliť dva razy za sebou, či už na ten istý cieľ, alebo úplne iný v opačnom smere, naozaj darom z nebies. Hlavne keď protivník čosi také vôbec nečaká.
Nejde o prvý kus na svete. Tie spadajú ešte do storočia predošlého a azda najslávnejšia je krásna slonovinou a zlatom zdobená 0,5 metrová a cez 2 kg vážiaca dvojhlavňová pištoľ s dvomi kolieskovými zámkami venovaná Petrom Peckom cisárovi Karlovi V v 1540. Šlo o naozaj náročnú konštrukciu a ozajstný dar pre najvyššie postaveného muža Európy. Kým kresadlová zámka sa vďaka lacnejšej výrobe, nižšej poruchovosti a menej náročnej údržbe počas 17. storočia stala široko dostupnou a kolieskové zámky vytlačila, dvojhlavňové zbrane sa začali hromadne vyrábať až v storočí 18. a 19. Slávu si vydobyli takéto brokovnice počas Sedem ročnej vojny v kolóniách na východe Nového sveta, bitke o Alamo počas Texaskej revolúcie, či v rukách moreplavca Jamesa Cooka. Ich sestry so spílenými hlavňami bolo počuť po celom Divokom západe. A predchodkyne perkusných howdah pištolí so sebou nosili lovci v Indii a Afrike. V Kornelovej dobe by ešte stále šlo o vzácnosť a majster, ktorého pracovnou náplňou bolo vyrábať takéto kusy, patril medzi ozajstnú špičku.
Na oficiálnom fb profile sa svojho času vynorila aj obrazová dokumentácia.

Ďuro čerpal z tejto publikácie.
Ja by som pridala ešte zopár slov z iných zdrojov.
Ako autor priznáva, je to jeden z prípadov, kedy si históriu trochu prispôsobil, keďže nizozemský vynálezca Ondro sa narodil roku 1648, takže v čase Diablovej pevnosti sa ešte len učil na nočník. O jeho mladosti sa mi nepodarilo nájsť nič, ale k jeho kariére sa viaže nejaký ten míľnik.
Celým menom Andreas Rheinhold Dolep, prezývaný aj "Holanďan", sa podľa viacerých zdrojov uchytil na dánskom kráľovskom dvore, kde slúžil princovi Jurajovi (Jørgenovi).
Dánsky trón zdedil jeho starší brat Kristián. Jurajovi bola pridelená úloha v upevňovaní anglicko-dánskej aliancie voči Nizozemsku. A tak sa v 1680 oženil s anglickou princeznou a neskôr kráľovnou Annou (k veľkej nechuti Viliama Oranžského, manžela jej staršej sestry Márie a rodeného Nizozemca). Nie je preto s podivom, že kráľovský choť zavítal aj na britskú pôdu, kde mu bol udelený titul vojvodu a neskôr aj veliteľa námorných síl. A z domoviny si so sebou priviedol aj početný sprievod, ktorého bol Dolep zjavne súčasťou.
Kým Juraj bol Viliamom vytlačený na okraj diania (čomu sa nijak dôrazne nebránil, uprednostňujúc jednoduchý domácky život), zrelý puškár čulo nadväzoval nové obchodné styky. Medzi jeho klientov patrili Phillip Howard z Charing Crossu v Londýne - veliteľ kráľovninho jazdeckého oddielu (Troops of Horse Guards), Browni z Blackburnu, William Legge - gróf z Dartmouthu, Kosimo III - veľkovojvoda Toskánska aj samotný anglický kráľ Karol II.
Vysokopostavení priatelia sa mu naozaj zišli, pretože sa dostal do maléru s predajom neodskúšaných zbraní. Na ich distribúciu totiž dozerala Puškárska spoločnosť (Worshipful Company of Gunmakers), jeden zo 111 livrejových korunou posvätených londýnskych cechovných spolkov, autorita s právomocou zhabať všetko, čo neprešlo ich schvaľovacou procedúrou. Voči Dolepovi sa stavali odmietavo, podľa jedného zdroja spor tkvel v zamestnávaní cudzincov. V 1686 si naň za faktické pristihnutie pri porušení zákona tvrdo došliapli. Trvalo dvanásť mesiacov, než ho z mastnej pokuty a sprievodných trampôt jeho konexie vysekali (pomohlo patriť na výplatnú pásku šéfa zbrojného predstavenstva koruny (Board of Ordnance)). No s obchádzaním kontroly neskončil a viaceré z jeho kúskov datovaných do neskorších rokov taktiež nenesú značku Puškárskej spoločnosti. Údajne si tak strážil výrobné tajomstvo.
Šťastie mu prialo a v 1691 podarilo obdržať titul trvalého čestného rezidenta (denization). V Anglicku sa aj oženil (Kostol sv Martina v Londýne) a zomrel (mestečko Barrow nad Soar), dosiahnuc vek 65 rokov. Jeho syn George Edward Dolep v remesle pokračoval.

(Princ Juraj, erb Puškárskej spoločnosti, miesto Dolepovej smrti)
Dolep rozvíjal zrýchlenú a viacnásobnú streľbu hneď v niekoľkých smeroch.
Medzi jeho chuťovky patrila mušketa s krátkou hlavňou, známa ako "blunderbass", masívna to ručnica s neveľkým dostrelom, zato rozšíreným otvorom, ktorý sa poľahky nabíja (užitočné za jazdy na koni, či v koči). V 17. storočí zažila rozmach (od civilistov, po námorníctvo, najväčšia priazeň u kočišov) a ustúpiť ju donútilo až storočie 19. a masová produkcia zbraní s vývrtmi (spresnenie mušky). Anglické pomenovanie je odvodené z holandčiny - "donderbus", alebo hromová nálož (bus - buxus - škatuľa). Na ostrovoch zaužívané "blunder" miesto správneho prekladu "thunder" sa zvykne vysvetľovať ako popis zmätku, ktorý takýto výstrel zvykol vyvolať. Mňa osobne by neprekvapilo ani to, keby takýmto pomenovaním Briti naznačovali, že je to zbraň pre tých, ktorí nevedia poriadne mieriť a zakopávajú aj o vlastné nohy. Mimoriadne široký rozptyl viacerých projektilov totiž v takých prípadoch padne vhod. Existovala aj menšia, pištoľová verzia, ktorou boli často vybavované jazdecké oddiely. Označovala sa ako "dragon" (jeden z predpokladaných pôvodov výrazu dragún) a dokonca aj bývala zdobená dračími motívmi. Ústie chrliace plamene a olovo dojmu napomáhalo.

Tumblr media
Okrem toho experimentoval so vzduchovkami. Síce náročnejšie na konštrukciu, no oproti vtedajším palným zbraniam mali niekoľko výhod. Vďaka využívaniu tlaku vzduchu miesto pušného prachu fungovali aj vo vlhkom počasí. Streľba a pomerne často i nabíjanie boli rýchlejšie než pri klasických palných spredu nabíjaných zbraniach. Hlaveň nebolo potrebné čistiť od zvyškov pušného prachu. Zároveň boli o trochu tichšie a výstrel nesprevádzal ohnivý záblesk, ani kúdol dymu, takže strelcovi ostal čistý výhľad a aj on sám zotrval menej nápadný. Najstarší dochovaný kus máme z 1580, v 17. a 18. storočí už šlo o pomerne rozšírenú hračku, populárnu hlavne na poľovačkách. Postupne sa stala aj výbavou špecializovaných vojenských oddielov. Dolep sa zrejme rozhodol, že to nie je dostatočná výzva, pretože skonštruoval rovno pušku s kombinovaným strelným mechanizmom. Doložený kus má panvičku s vývodom ústiacim do hlavne netypickým pre zbrane vzdušné, zato typickým pre palné. K skrutkovateľnému guľatému mosadznému rezervoáru na stlačený vzduch patrí aj mosadzno-drevená pumpička. Cieľom týchto a pažbových rezervoárov bolo uskladniť dostatok vzduchu na hneď niekoľko výstrelov. Pri panvičke je ešte jedna súčiastka, ktorej účel nie je známy. Nie je vylúčené, že k nej patril ešte nejaký odnímateľný komponent, ktorý sa stratil.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ďalšou z vychytávok v jeho repertoári boli zadovky. Zbrane pýšiace sa mechanizmom známym ako "breech loading", spočívajúcim v tom, že hlaveň je odklápacia a istená záverom. Zbraň teda možno nabíjať zozadu miesto spredu a nestrácať čas s nejakým zasúvaním projektilov za pomoci nabijaku. Najstaršie exempláre zadoviek sú niektoré experimentálne delá zo 14. a 15. storočia. V 16. storočí máme doloženú už aj ručnú zbraň, u anglického kráľa Henricha VIII, ktorý ju nosieval na poľovačky. Ale dobou plošného rozšírenia je až storočia 19. s nábojmi, ktoré majú vlastnú prachovú nálož. V storočí 17. by ešte stále šlo o luxusný artikel a ich konštruovanie, účinné uzatváranie proti zadnému úniku spalín (či iným trampotám) a dosiaľ vysoká zachovalosť svedčia o Dolepovej nadpriemernej zručnosti. Táto konkrétna má navyše zásobník pušného prachu na tri až štyri výstrely, takže za vyššie uvedeného zrýchleného nabíjania umožňuje čosi blížiace sa súvislej paľbe.

Tumblr media
A napokon kúsok, ktorý je tak trocha na polceste k revolveru. To, čo si zvykneme predstaviť pod pojmom revolver, je výtvor Samuela Colta, ktorého prvý patentovaný model (colt paterson, 1836) mal hlaveň s vývrtmi a päťkomorový samotočivý bubnový zásobník na západku (proti točeniu v nesprávnom smere). Predchádzali mu rôzne ručne otáčané niekoľkohlavňové "koreničky" s pôvodom v luntových (zapaľovanie na tlejúci knôt) viachlavňových ojedinelých experimentoch z 15. a 16. storočia a už trochu hromadnejšie vyrábaných kresadlovkách prevažne podľa vzoru Nock, prípadne Segallas zo storočia 18. Dolep to ešte v tom 17. skúsil s takouto zadovkou vybavenou trojkomorovým zásobníkom. Keďže zásobník je spojený a hlavňou a otáčajú sa spoločne, ústie hlavne je zdobené troma listami, každým presne v línii pohľadu. Otáčanie je tak ako pri neskorších koreničkách manuálne. Exemplár - https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/13738/lot/93/
Tumblr media
Najčastejšie spomínaná publikácia Great British Gunmakers 1540-1740 od W. Keith Neala a D.H.L. Backa vraj obsahuje hneď deväť príkladov Dolepových výtvorov a internet s aukčnými webmi a nadšeneckými blogmi za ňou nezaostáva, takže komu sa máli, môže vyraziť pátrať po ďalších.
Ja som už ale svoj zásobník vystrieľala a túto sondu do nizozemského puškárskeho umenia uzatváram.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)
put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.
Autism W!
#columbo#knight rider#art#michael knight#kitt#comic#highlight reel#crossover#telebeast#there are two small easter eggs here. can you find them. they were somehow not Entirely lost when i resized these for the public#this is what i mean when i say I Draw And It's Everyone Else's Problem. look at my INCREDIBLY niche crossover comic boy#if the knight rider fandom has like 12 people in it. how many of y'all have seen columbo#this comic is for like 4 people and me and phoenix are already two of them#niche is my specialty lets be real. weird niche obscure shit and ships nobody's paid attention to yet#not to suggest this is ship art. columbo has his wife and michael has his car lmfao#stylizing real people is EXTREMELY hard btw sorry for when they get off model. its partly a 'better imperfect than never finished' situatio#cant tell you how much i redrew some of these panels. weeps#this took me 2 weeks but i think i thumbnailed it all in may and the ideas been rollin around in my head since march#is anybody good at editing. please edit michael and columbo into an image together like its a screenshot. NOT generated. edited.#it would be so cool#ive drawn columbo a lot but i haven't drawn a lot of michaels. i was learning things about his outfit AS I WAS DOING THE DAMN#COLORS ON THIS. all the lines done. it was too late to change anything. i did all the lines and colored page by page#i realized my mistakes on like page 3. 1 and 2 were already done. it was Too Late.#imagine it though. them working a case together. switching between the more serious tone of columbo vs the goofier#action antics of michael and kitt. columbo being so impressed by Modern Technology. there's more i could say but phoenix may write#more of this crossover and i don't want to spoil it :'3#there's opportunity here though i swear. there's gold to be dug.#i like how kitt gets shading but columbo's junker peugeot doesn't. kitt looked wrong without any. columbo's car is matte and dirty#i also applied effects to this to make it look a little film-grainy and VHS like. some CRT TV vibes#the only question left is. did they put knight rider into columbo; or columbo into knight rider 🤔

Sometimes I think about how the entire history of the advancement of human weapons can be boiled down to: “we found more elaborate ways to hit things with rocks…”
Spears? Sharpened rocks.
Slingshot? Ranged rocks.
Arrows? Sharpened rocks with range.
Hammers/Clubs? Refined rocks.
Swords/axes? Sharpened refined rocks.
Guns? Sharpened, refined rocks, propelled by explosives…
We discovered how to make explosives, and we fine tuned that technology to better propel refined and sharpened rocks at insane distances… we are still hitting things with rocks… we just became experts in the science of hitting things with rocks… The human race is basically just a “dump everything into geology” build…

Alfred's new ward making sure everyone is having great day during their day off from crime whether they want to or not.
Previous original post
Damian knew from day one of meeting alfred's new ward that he was going to be trouble..
He may have been stalking the kid doing alfred's work while alfred sat down in a comfy couch with a plate of fresh jasmine tea, his prescription medince bottle at ready and a raspberry strudel to nibble on.
He ain't going to replace his favorite Butler, not now, not ever. So Damian got Tim and Dick to help sabotage this heathen from taking over...Not knowing this kid was expecting their over the top sabotages. They tried scaring him with Titus but the little traitor lay there on his back getting belly rubs like it was heaven itself.
Changing the plumbing in his shower to freezing cold, but he walk out there refreshed. Tim trying to look of anything to blackmail him only for the batcomputer to go off the frizz with a virus.
Alfred did make sure to have his work sort out alphabetical because he is the Glue that keep these Wayne Manor going and everyone living in it not because caveman style creatures of the night.
Danny made sure Bruce didn't escape to his batcave on his supposed day off after 96 hours without sleep and spite driven nature, and don't even come with Justice never sleep excuses is going to run by him. He got Alfred's speical Bruce's tranquilizer gun at ready and he is not hesitating to shot you Bruce.
He does kept Tim from overdoing with the coffee addiction, giving him a better offer of coffee as long as he goes to sleep. Dick will still talk about Saturday night when Tim tries to sneak out to do some more investigating in the batcave only to see Danny dragged a unconscious Tim back to his room, a two tranquilizers to the back and one of his arm, though he didn't mention the Danny's glowing cat light green eyes that shine in the dark.
Danny's funny puns neon ghost stickers made dick's days, every morning as he goes to get his lunch, and he really want to know where he get them from.
Danny did actually helped a lot with the Wayne Manor as it never been cleaner before, Jason visited one time even mentioned that the chandelier never feel so clean to hang on from, not a speck of dust on it.
Damian getting a new animals book/documentaries, a new knifes for the collection or art supplies that match his demands in a way that keep his stabby nature at sate and bay for now.
Barb, Cass and Duke are amused by the fact that Bruce, Tim and Damian are having a little mid crisis that danny making them have day off on certain days such as holidays.
All this free time actually had alfred's going back to old hobbies that were nearly long forgotten such as conversations with old dear friends, practicing his old shooting skills, and having well deserved rest. Once his arm was healed, he stil did his duty along side with Danny as it was much quicker to do together as two people at hand.
What they will probably find out later on in the future that danny is actually Bruce's great grand uncle from his older sister side, and that he had disappeared when he was 20 years old in a old spooky town that vanished and still on today uneXplained series after his great grandmother moved to gotham. (But that another story for next post)

Cooking Youtuber Steve; who has series where he makes good family friendly meals, dishes for picky eaters, tips for everyday cooking. As well as series where he tries to make historical dishes, food and drinks from games and TV.
DnD Youtuber Eddie; who has a long actual play series, videos about his characters and the world he's built. Videos about tips for your role-playing, getting immersed. A series where he tries other TTRPG's and board games.
Dustin persuades Steve to make videos about medieval inspired, DnD friendly meals. And because it does actually seem like a fun challenge, he does it. Dustin looks horrifically smug about it when the videos are a hit, the bastard. (Steve will make him eat something gross as payback. Its fine. Gotta keep him humble.)
And because obviously, Eddie sees the videos. He's always on the search for good DnD shit. But the guy is so fucking hot Eddie doesn't quite know what to do with himself. Except daydream about those eyes, and that hair, and those hands.
So Eddie records himself trying (and only sort of failing) to recreate the food. It comes out sort of ugly but actually nice tasting, so Eddie calls it a win. References the Hot Chef Steve in his video, adds a link to his channel, and tries not to feel his heart beating out of his chest when he sends @'s him with a link to the video. His channel is way bigger than Eddie's, he probably won't see it, Eddie's fine.
Except the Hot Chef does see it, and Eddie sort of loses his mind when he gets a comment or a message from him, thanking Eddie for giving his recipe a go, and giving him credit for the recipe. Eddie's not fine at all, this guy is way out of his league, and Eddie can feel the crush bubbling up under his ribcage, and Oh Fuck he's messaging Eddie.

cuddle sex with könig.
könig likes to hold you in his strong arms to hold you tightly and bury his face in the crook of your neck, or preferably, between your soft thighs.
he breathes in the sweetness of your familiar, comforting scent, the perfume on your neck and the lingering scent of your arousal smeared across könig's lengthy slick, hung cock. you're seated comfortably on his large lap with thrill rushing through your weakened body, too exhausted to continue bouncing with his burly and muscular arms wrapped around your form, holding you close as your heartbeat thumps and slams against your sternum. you begin to weakly and painfully attempt to bounce up and down on könig's weeping length until you're nothing but a pathetic, creamy mess with sticky thighs.
“quit squirming’, hase. i know you’ve got the strength somewhere in you, or do i have to use that sweet cunt for my own benefit and enjoyment?”
könig lays back against the mattress, forcing you to lay against his sturdy chest and listen to the soothing rhythm of his quickening heartbeat and the noise of his laborious, heavy breathing. he begins to slowly jerk his broad hips skywards into you while cuddling into you, holding you tightly in his arms to keep you protected and to ensure that you won't be able to squirm away out of his tight grasp. you begin to pant and heave when you feel könig's sensitive tip rub against your gummy and velvety cervix, gasping out when he begins to quicken his rough pace and buck skyward into your tight rear repeatedly, filling your swollen, soft folds with globs and strings of his stickiness, oozing out from your tight slit.
könig ploughs his hung, meaty cock into your adorable cunt, gushing about how tight and warm you are while you're drooling all down his veiny, lengthy shaft.
