| INSUFFERABLE INTRODUCTION

Good day to anyone who has stumbled upon this blog, for this blog holds a little niche interest of mine: Animated/Illustrated Horrible History characters !

This blog will all be about the little historical cartoon characters that would appear in the middle of your daily dose of 2009 CBBC Horrible Histories, or perhaps on the book cover of the Horrible Histories book your reading ! (The characters that no one really thought nor cared about)

If the the topics I’ve mentioned above engrosses you, then hop along and check out the FASCINATING FUNFACTS, SILLY STORIES, CRUEL CHARACTERS, AND PLENTY MORE TO COME !

| TERRIBLE TOPICS

Topics and ideas that I will (most likely) talk about often are …

ANIMATED (2009 CBBC) HORRIBLE HISTORY CHARACTERS

HORRIBLE HISTORIES BOOK COVER CHARACTERS

CRABBY CLASH (My Horrible Histories AU)

Martin Brown (Illustrator of Horrible Histories)

Horrible Histories art

Horrible Histories (in general)

This blog will also be a little roleplay blog, you can ask any animated Horrible History character anything in the inbox ! (Well not ANY thing, just don’t be weird.)

| THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

I will be addressing the characters by their fanon/canon names time to time, and so if you ever get confused which character I’m referencing to, you can check out the CHARACTER NAME LIST !

When I post my HH art, most of the time it’ll be in Martin Brown’s Art style/Horrible Histories Art style; I do NOT “own” the art style nor do I profit/make money off of it. I really love Martin Brown’s art and I enjoy drawing in his style BUT I do not claim it as my own art style.

HHAC = Horrible History Animated Characters

This blog is ran by a MINOR ! Don’t be weirdo >:-(

| CRABBY CLASH

“What is it anyways ?”

Crabby Clash is a Horrible Histories AU that centers around the historical eras/periods going to war against each other, it focuses more on the cartoon HH characters rather than the non-animated ones like Bob Hale, Sam, Cliff Whiteley, etc … BUT they are in fact canon in the AU !

It’ll be mentioned here on this blog at times, just not that often (because I am shy and I don’t come up with ideas often) !!

In the Crabby Clash (also known as the “Era War”), there are 6 sides composed of different historical eras that have formed an alliance.

IN ALLIANCE:

“United Steam Front” (Frightful WWI, Woeful WWII, Blitzed Brits, Troublesome 20th century, Vile Victorians)

“Primordial Pact” (Angry Aztecs, Incredible Incas, Savage Stone Age)

“Floral Fortress” (Awesome Egyptians/Awful Egyptians, Groovy Greeks, Smashing Saxons)

“British Isles Compact” (Slimy Stuarts, Gorgeous Georgians)

“Crusader Coalition” (Stormin’ Normans, Measly Middle Ages)

“Imperial Triumph” (Terrible/Terrifying Tudors, Radical Renaissance, Rotten Romans)

NOT IN AN ALLIANCE:

Vicious Vikings

Fabulous French

(Awesome USA) Cowboys (Part of it have alliances with “United Steam Front”)

Putrid Pirates

Cut-Throat Celts

You’ll learn more about this AU in future posts !

| EPILOGUE

I ran out of things to mention but thanks for reading and I hope you’re willing to see more animated HH posts and content from me ! :-D (I will update this introduction time to time)

Thinking about the time I met Martin Brown, the illustrator for Horrible Histories. He is genuinely one fo the most inspirational artists I've met simply because he gets straight to the point. I went to a talk of his years ago where he demonstrated lots of art techniques like anatomy, designing and turning characters and loads more (one demonstration of which I got to take home signed). I got to talk to him afterwards and told him I wanted to be an artist but how I was scared to start because every time I did I only made mistakes, I cant draw; he sat up in his chair looked at my hands and said well you have hands that work right, you can pick up a pen, you can physically put the pen to the paper and you can make marks, so you can draw. For some reason that unlocked something in my brain that just went oh shit yeah you're right, the mental block I'd had wasn't because I couldn't draw, it was because I was scared I wouldn't progress - in turn not letting me progress.

A year ago I finally started drawing properly, every day, and took an art based A-level to tie me down and keep me going and since then all I've done is progress, I'm no perfect artist but I'm on my way to being better ya know.

I wish I could thank him these days.

Thinkin bout martin brown, the Pig Butcher in HM2. So like, i wanna start by establishing that it's confirmed that midnight animal is real cuz of the posthumous TV interview with martin in the final cutscene of the game (only appears if you choose not to finish the book with evan, but i assume that'd be because the TV station has nothing better to air right then [unless you do finish the book]). The main things i wanna bring up are the dual-interpretations of his psyche and to kinda unravel his death. Not going into any literary parallels between him and other characters tho.

So, martin doesnt get a lot of dialogue, but in a dream he has of an interview, he brings up violent fantasies that he gets to explore through the film, brushing criticism away with the words "it's only a movie", and the general interpretation is that this is an exploration of violent media as a source of catharsis, but i think there's another way you can take it. At the end of the tutorial level, after the cut, the director finishes his tips with "remember to stay in character." I think that scene with the interview is him struggling to reconcile this method acting stuff he's doing, and is a bit of an exploration of ambient violence and the ways it can seep in to one's mind.

As for his death, though, i think i've finally put the pieces together. So, to recap, in the in-game film, a woman the pig butcher kidnapped escapes and calls the cops, and when they arrive, in addition to answering the phone, you can read a bit of the script for the next scene on the table. It details the PB breaking in to the room the woman is guarded in, the guard dying, and the woman getting assaulted by him. The actual events are different. He breaks in just fine, but the woman picks up a prop gun and shoots him 7 times; the rounds included are live. She is unaware of his death, telling him "it's time to get up" after the director tells them they got a perfect cut. I think the script given to martin was fake and the director orchestrated his death to get the perfect shot, which explores both the idea of violent media as catharsis and the pyrrhically escalating nature of violence in the media that we see and seek (a bit more specific than just ambient violence). Sorry this is long but i was just sorta thinkin bout this.

‘Gruesome Great Houses’ by Terry Deary

Genre: Children’s Non-Fiction – History Published: 2005 Format: Paperback Rating: ★★★★ I do love a good Horrible Histories book! They just never seem long enough and some of the things I find most interesting I want more information on. But that’s the nature of a children’s book and I can remember absolutely adoring these books growing up, and still loving them on my rereads over the last few…
