Day 17: Another’s OC

It’s my friend’s OC, Warrior! Floofy but violent baby. Don’t worry she’ll find her ghost husband soon enough.

Warrior belongs to @sweatshirt-ninja

Update: Kinda ironic that I did two types of cat girls on this day.

Oni Lloyd: Heh heh, if I’m a deer they won’t notice I’m following them

*Minutes Later*

Kai: Yo! The deer that has been following us is standing on two legs now!

Warrior: ITS WHAT!!!?

#OTD in 1922 – The Free State’s Provisional Government puts the “Public Safety Bill” before the Dáil.

Dáil Éireann passed emergency legislation which allowed for the execution of those captured bearing arms against the Free State. The legislation passed to the National Army powers of punishment for anyone “taking part in or aiding and abetting attacks on the National Forces”, having possession of arms or explosives “without the proper authority” or disobeying an Army General Order. Interestingly,…

IS THIS THE REAL PIGEON HOUSE In October 2020 it was reported, by local media, that an elderly man who faced a civil action for causing a nuisance in his locality by feeding wild pigeons at his home in Dublin has made settlement terms with the council. The feral birds had flocked to a rooftop on Manor Street and had taken up residency. Their droppings on the footpaths and beside homes in…

" Nos contaban con mucha seguridad el significado y la historia de cada estancia del palacio, y la forma en que fue restaurado en relación con el edificio anterior, pero hacían prodigios de evasivas y circunloquios para no referirse al 11 de setiembre de 1973. La verdad es que la restauración se hizo con una gran fidelidad a los planos originales. Tapiaron unas puertas, abrieron otras, derribaron muros, cambiaron tabiques de lugar, y eliminaron la entrada de Morandé 80, por donde los presidentes recibían las visitas privadas. Fueron tantos los cambios, que alguien que hubiera conocido el palacio antiguo no sabría orientarse en el nuevo. Los oficiales que nos atendían pasaron un mal rato cuando les pedimos mostrarnos el original del Acta de Independencia que estuvo expuesto durante años en la sala del Consejo de Ministros, y que sabíamos destruido en el bombardeo. Nunca lo admitieron, sino que prometían conseguirnos más tarde un permiso especial para filmarlo, y siempre más tarde y más tarde, hasta que terminamos la filmación. Tampoco pudieron decirnos dónde estaba el escritorio de don Diego Portales, y tantas reliquias que los presidentes anteriores habían ido dejando a lo largo de los años, para un pequeño museo histórico que fue arrasado por las llamas. Tal vez los bustos de todos los presidentes desde O’Higgins corrieron la misma suerte, aunque es corriente la versión de que el gobierno militar los retiró de la galería donde estuvieron siempre para no verse forzados a poner también el de Salvador Allende. En general, la impresión que se tiene después del recorrido completo del palacio, es que todo se ha cambiado a fondo con el propósito único de borrar hasta el último vestigio del presidente asesinado.

“All the photographs for these albums were taken in Brookwood Cemetary which is an old Victorian cemetary situated just outside of London. In fact, it used to have its very own railway station when it was known as the London Necropolis whose entrance was situated almost opposite to where we recorded all of this material near Waterloo Station. It’s a place I’ve frequented since the late 1960s when my parents used to take walks in it."

"Two of the bayonets belonged to Patrick Leagas and the dagger belonged to me. Just the look of them in the photographs is great but they do also have significance. They are both aesthetic and meaningful. The skull belonged to David Tibet and I believe it is Chinese in origin. But, I may be wrong about that as there seemed to be skulls popping up from everyone in those days so it could belong to someone else. Anyway, there are different ones in different photo sessions from that period."

"Patrick and Richard tended to work together at home and bring into the studio the basic backing tracks of some of the more electronically oriented songs and then we would work on the lyrics or I’d add guitar or another keyboard line etc. Tibet’s contribution was really providing me/DEATH IN JUNE with a lot of writings that I/we could use in anyway I pleased. With the exception of ‘She Said Destroy’ nothing he provided was complete. I or, once Pat with ‘The Torture Garden’, would take a title from here or a word or sentence from there. Whatever fitted was used. Tibet came down to Alaska Studios a few times to see how things were going and shouted or growled a bit here or played a thigh bone there but wasn’t involved in any of the production/mixing process. That was really Iain O’Higgins our sound engineer for many years, Pat and myself. All of my material, both acoustic and electronic, was written at home with things being added in the studio as they developed. It wasn’t until we started recording all of these things that we realised that we had something pretty unique on our hands albeit a lot of the writing process for me, at least, was littered with ‘peculiar’ events that were pointing in the right direction.” -Douglas Pearce

DEATH IN JUNE pictured circa 1985 featuring Douglas Pearce, David Tibet, Patrick Legas *& Richard Butler*. The photos from this shoot would be used for the band's third album “Nada!” (1985) and “93 Dead Sunwheels” (1989) which featured 3 original tracks and 3 re-recorded tracks off “Nada!”.

Just say you know nothing about history lmfaooooo none of you even actually care about the struggles of indigenous and afroargentine groups living here to give an example, you just love to ignorantly judge

It’s fair. I am a child of history tho, so I know a bit about Simon Bolivar, Bernardo O’Higgins, Francisco de Miranda. It was a fun tournament. As a USA fan I was just happy to involved

Oh look! I’m finally posting shit! Here’s some sketches for the paranormal normal au and then my regular royals au with Warrior and Kai. I never had a design for kid Warrior, so it was nice to get one down. At some point I’ll make more colorful versions of these especially the Wu and Morro one.
