I think there might be a correlation between the amount of times I got "wtf" during the trailer and how much I end up enjoying the actual show

I’m The Most Beautiful Count Official Pilot Unhinged Breakdown

*update. the sub is up now. i'm glad i can be of help for an hour though. 😂

First of all ahhhhhhh, this is big ya'll the main character herself identify as lgbtq+ and kathoey. so the appropriate pronoun for this character is probably going to be she/them in english (this is just educated guess from the trailer but i'm pretty sure this going to be it.)

So it this a BL?? TL?? KL?? idk but i also don't care

She is out and proud and she's in the show biz.

Girl thought she in a prank show. this kind of scene is in so many stuff it's kinda get repetitive. but at least its open with hot man boobs.

That is the past live person's father doing the bashing. it's rough to watch but that servant boy jump out to take the hits got me.

So she's faking amnesia and i think this guy is an old flame.

Hubba hubba. this guy is the jackass king's who pushed our queen to save himself in previous scene brother

The past live bitch got some game. she managed to snatch all the hot noble men and that's mother behavior.

Ok so i think the plot of this show is old past live killed herself cause olden time queerphobic. modern time queen think she need to write the wrong of the past by feelling in love with one of these guys so she can get back to the present day, but she don't know which one of these is actually the one, hijinks ensue, etc.

That's all the gist of it, hope this help.

Exploration of the now-offline Far Cry 5 official websites

Part 19: Adelaide Drubman

Recovered content

The first time Adelaide appears on an archive of the American website is on February 9th, 2018:

THE CHOPPER QUEEN ADELAIDE DRUBMAN Adelaide Drubman is healthier, wealthier, and wiser than most folks. Just ask her: she’ll be glad to tell you all about herself. Addie married a wealthy older man, Hurk Drubman Sr., when she was in her 20s. After a decade of indifference and infidelity from her husband, Addie filed for divorce. Paradise was lost once Eden’s Gate started sniffing around, begging to buy up her land. When she refused to sell out, they came with guns and took it by force. Banished from her own home, a furious Addie has been plotting revenge and brushing up on target practice with her prized AK-47.

“Learn More” was once again a link to “The Hope County Resistance” (February 8th, 2018), and the article said this about her:

ADELAIDE DRUBMAN - The Chopper Queen - PILOT Name: ADELAIDE DRUBMAN Role: Gun for Hire Bio: Adelaide Drubman is healthier, wealthier, and wiser than most folks. Just ask her: she’ll be glad to tell you all about herself. Addie married a wealthy older man, Hurk Drubman Sr., when she was in her 20s. Their shared love of Reagan, Jesus Christ, and the NRA was a match made in heaven. It was after their son Hurk Jr. was born that Hurk Sr.’s attention started to drift to…other interests. While father and son went on hunting trips, Addie stayed home to manage Hurk Sr.’s holdings—unpaid of course. After a decade of indifference and infidelity from her husband, Addie filed for divorce. She and her lawyer ensured she got the lion’s share, including Hurk Sr.’s marina. In turn, she “let” Hurk Sr. keep the kid and enjoyed her life to the fullest: booze, bazookas, and boy toys. Now in her 50s, Addie is still trying to live the same life. A few months ago, she spied a hot young SoCal mimbo on vacation at her marina. One look at his big…blue eyes and she just had to have him. Her bank account was full to bursting, so Addie lavished him with gifts and, after a while, convinced Xander Holt to move in with her. For Adelaide, it was paradise. But paradise was lost once Eden’s Gate started sniffing around, begging to buy up her land. When she refused to sell out, they came with guns and took it by force. Banished from her own home, a furious Addie has been plotting revenge and brushing up on target practice with her prized AK-47.

A trailer then replaced “Learn More”, but the rest of the text didn’t change:

It was this video:

As for the European website, which called her Hurk’s Mom instead of The Chopper Queen, this is what it said about her:

ADELAIDE DRUBMAN HURK’S MOM Adelaide Drubman is healthier, wealthier, and wiser than most folks. But paradise was lost once Eden’s Gate banished her from her own home. Since then, a furious Addie has flown the skies in her helicopter plotting her revenge.

And here is the embedded trailer:

Commentary

Interestingly, while she was always called The Chopper Queen on the American website, they don’t mention her helicopter, Tulip. However, Eden’s Gate indeed stole her home, the Drubman Marina (but that most likely happened when the Reaping began, not before). She got it when she divorced Hurk Drubman Sr., whom she says is lazy and preferred to drink instead of running his business. I don’t think she ever says he cheated on her, but Hurk Jr. hints (sometimes without even realizing it) that she cheated on his dad.

The game doesn’t say how old she is, but if she really got married in her 20s, filed for divorce after only “a decade” of indifference, and is now in her 50s... well, I’m even more confused by the timeline than I already was!

Her boyfriend Xander is still from California in Far Cry 5, but his last name is Flynn, not Holt. As for his eyes, they appear to be brown/hazel and not blue. As far as I know, there is no information about Adelaide showering him with gifts but I think it’s totally believable. And this is a detail, but the gun she uses is an “AR-C”, not an AK-47.

Have you seen Hazbin's trailer yet?

Overall, it looks good, and there's even a Zestial. I think it was a series about Sir Pentius's egg minions, and maybe it was Zestial who helped create them.

The official merch has a deck, and he appeared there too, so he's not such a background character. After all, there is neither that big lizard, nor the burning skull, nor the two-headed bird. And look at how big his hands are, wow. He hasn't changed much compared to the old ref.

I really want to see him in the series already. Little is known about him and his character and there are no GIFs with him. You can only analyze what was originally there.

1. Charlie called him a madman or a psycho in the pilot:

I think he is generally calm, but he can suddenly do something strange that is not expected of him. For example, how he scared the thief instead of killing him. Or he has sudden mood swings. I also think he's a funny dude on pranks.

- He is near Lucifer.:

He may be one of the strongest or most influential overlords.

He has a patched hat, although the rest of his clothes are normal. Either he is poor or he loves this hat very much.

(Theory Post) Hazbin Hotel Residents revealed? [Part 1 of 2] (Slight Spoilers)

After watching the first four episodes of Hazbin Hotel, I can say I like the show so far. While everyone is having theories on Alastor's and Litith's seven year disappearance connection and what is going to happen next in the show, I thought I talked about something different and that is which sinners are entering into the hotel. While it doesn't look like there is any proof of who at first, thanks to the pilot, I got an idea who will be thanks to the opening sequence. At one point of the intro, we see a bunch of silhouettes of demons that you may be familiar with.This is part one because Tumblr only allows 10 pictures per post

Keep in mind that while the pilot is canon, there may be changes such as an old version of Blitzø before becoming part of Helluva Boss. Some of the silhouettes seen here are characters we see in the show already.

These two here are Angel Dust and Mimzy with Angel Dust already at the hotel and Mimzy, a character who was seen at the pilot and the official trailer.

Sir Pentious and Baxter here with Sir Pentious now part of the Hotel and Baxter who was seen in episode 2 in Vox's TV room(couldn't find image).

Cherri Bomb is in there with another sinner seen here, and while we did meet Cherri Bomb in the pilot and she will be in the series, I'm not sure if the sinner below her is Izzi from the Addict video considering how he appears antagonistic (future redeemed villain?) or Arackniss considering he was planed to be redesign.

(Part 2 here)

[chaifootsteps]

Metallica Anon here responding to Taxidermy Anon's roll call. I'm going to be a little more extensive with my post so grab a snack and a drink. I'm a 31 male and I'm 10 months older than Viv. My story began around November of 2019 when I was (and still am) a member of a forum related to a show that I used to love but completely lose interest in. (If you're wondering what show? Let's just say Blitzø would love it. 😉) Then I noticed a few members had this particular character as their avatars. That character turned out to be Angel Dust of Hazbin Hotel. My curiousity grew and I eventually watched the pilot. I was completely enamored with it. I loved the animation, the characters, the voice acting, etc. Not long after, I began watching Helluva Boss and soon became enamored with show as well. For nearly four years, I was quite emotionally attached to Viv's shows, almost at the level of the cartoons I loved from my childhood. For a while, I thought Hazbin and Helluva could be some of the greatest cartoons in history. Unfortunately, as Phil Collins once sang, something happened to on the way to Heaven.

Actually, three things happened. I'll explain each one.

The Long Wait for Hazbin Hotel: I don't know how or why I managed to hold on for so long, but I did. I've endured HH's signing to A24 in 2020, the voice actor replacement debacle in 2021, and the character "redesigns" in 2022. I remember in November of '22, I had two things to be excited for in '23: the new Metallica album in April and Hazbin in the summer. (At least one of the things happened.)

To occupy my mind, I binge watched a cartoons until Hazbin would air, which I assumed would be as early as June. When June came, a lot of us were expecting at least a trailer. What did we get?  A cheap Angel Dust picture! I think this is when my hype for HH began to deflate. Then in July, Viv announced HH would be delayed due to the WGA/SAG strikes. At first, I thought the reasons were understandable, but then found out A24 can promote their stuff during the strikes. This made me feel suspicious on what’s going on. Once summer ended, I officially gave up on Hazbin Hotel… then the trailer came out with a release date, which is JANUARY 2024!

Did the trailer reignite my interest? HAH! No! I’m wasting any more time waiting for this shit! But that’s not the only reason…

The Decline of Helluva Boss: Up until this year, I loved Helluva Boss. I enjoyed the shenanigans of Blitzø, Moxxie, Millie, and Loona. I would always find some enjoyment in every episode, even the bad episodes like “CHERUB” and “The Circus.” However, Helluva had long waits between episodes ranging from two to six months. Yet somehow, I endured because at least new episodes were coming out.

Then came the episode “Exes and Oohs.” I hesitated to watch it at first as some previews and clips I saw turned me off. Then I finally watched the full episode… and I absolutely hated it! Unlike the previous bad episodes of HB, I did not find ANY enjoyment in this episode. Then came the episode “Western Energy “and the same happened again. Hesitated to watch at first, finally watched it and absolutely hated it. I began to question myself on why I am I still watching this. Finally came the episode “Unhappy Campers,” and that episode was the final straw for me. That episode made me so angry that I wanted to smash my head into my laptop. Three strikes, you’re out!

Ever since that damn episode, I swore off Helluva Boss. I have not watched a new episode or even rewatched an old episode. It also got me thinking if HB’s writing is this bad, I believe HH’s writing will be just bad or worse. Now let’s get to the source of the shit…

Viv’s True Colors: For a long time, I did not know very much about Vivienne Medrano, her history, or who see really is. I simply viewed her as a regular person who somehow found success in independent animation…

Then came spring 2023 when I learned of the ErinFrost and KenDraws allegations against her by Ayy Lmao’s YouTube videos. Those allegations really got me thinking and my views of Viv began to change. Later in the summer, I began using my abandoned Tumblr account and I stumbled upon the Viv Critical community… and learned everything awful about Viv. Not only is Viv awful, so is her fanbase. I can honestly say that the VivziePop fanbase is probably the most toxic I have ever been in… and this is coming from someone who was apart of another infamous fanbase back in the 2010s. I mean, I have never seen a creator that encourages their fans to attack and send deaths to anyone who has even the slightest bit of criticism.

*sigh* This post has gotten too long so I’m gonna wrap it up. Fuck Viv, she’s a leper messiah. 🖕

-Metallica Anon 🤘

That was a great story, Metallica Anon. Sucks that it had to happen, but if it had to, glad you found your way here!

[pabsterthelobster]

Crossovers are weird, right?

So, back in 2014, there was a small crossover between Transformers and Neon Genesis Evangelion that was headlined by an Optimus Prime decked out in the colors of the Evangelion Unit-01. This release was supplemented by a four-part prose story where Starscream apparently merges with the Angel Sachiel and Prime, realizing that the EVA has a life-force within it (assumed to be Shinji Ikari), scans the EVA to grow in size to use its power to defeat "Angel"-scream, and NERV thanks him by giving him a trailer/battle station of their own design.

A few years later, in 2018, the anime Transforming Bullet Train Robot Shinkalion had protagonist Hayato Hayasugi travel to a parallel world where NERV collaborated with the Shinkansen Institute to create their own Shinkalion units in place of EVAs, leading to an alternate version of Shinji showing up piloting the Shinkalion 500 TYPE EVA. Shinji would then make a few appearances in the series afterwards, even appearing in the feature film of the anime that also feature an 11-year old pilot named Hatsune Miku and a snow monster assuming the form of f**king Godzilla.

...who, by the way, once existed in the same universe as the Transformers due to both properties being licensed by Marvel Comics back in the day. Oh, and let's not forget to mention the NERV-Made Anti-G Weapon, a version of MechaGodzilla designed by Metal Gear artist Yoji Shinikawa as part of an official collaborative project between NGE and Godzilla. And that's not even counting the 4D film attraction that debuted the Shin Godzilla version of King Ghidorah.

[blazehedgehog]

You mentioned on this Tumblr once about suggestions that SA2 upended its production near release but I can’t find the posts. I think it was to do with the E3 trailer only showing Sonic, Eggman and…Knuckles. It sounds believable given this is what happened to Frontiers.

A lot of the information I once believed about Sonic Adventure 2 has been thrown into question in recent years (largely because I think I kept bringing it up and that sent ripples out into the community where it ended up being treated like a secret fact.)

A lot of that information came from the old Sonic HQ news board, which wasn't strictly moderated. Some of it also came from semi-official sources but is generally believed to be debunked now, even though it's more just a lot of he-said-she-said. It's just in this case, one of the parties is a literal employee of Sega versus people who were a few rungs down the ladder.

That information included:

A Gamestop employee attending a retailers conference, giving us our first confirmation of SA2's "good versus evil" theme. Concept art was described of "Dark Sonic" and "Nails the Bat" (Shadow and Rouge). Art mentioned "Dark Sonic" was missing an eye in some art, and missing an arm in others. We have some of that art now. Other art we've never seen featured "an angel" (Maria?), a "goblin with a big nose" (Gerald?), and a creature made out of hundreds of eyes (an early Biolizard?) Interesting when you consider the art of Shadow missing an eye.

Early information focused only on Sonic, Knuckles and Eggman as playable characters, making it seem like they were the only ones available. A whole campaign and petition was created by upset Sonic fans over the absence of Tails in the story. A delay was announced by Sonic Team to "add more familiar faces" to the game, and a few months later, a revamped Sonic Adventure 2 with a new, more colorful logo was shown featuring Shadow, Rouge, and Tails. It's easy to think Shadow, Rouge and Tails were added to the playable roster later, but data for them exists all the way back in the PSO "SA2: The Trial" demo from Christmas 2000.

To my own specific memory, in addition to the "revamp" delay, I recall Sonic Adventure 2 being slated for February 2001 and getting delayed to June. In my teenager brain, I thought they were removing Adventure Fields. I have found absolutely no evidence to back this up, so I generally don't believe it, but I still have curiosity about why I remember it that way. This was nearly 25 years ago, though.

A North American issue of Official Dreamcast Magazine supposedly interviewed members of Sega about Sonic Adventure 2 and notably talked about a branching story system that did not make it into the final game. An entire scene was described featuring Sonic trapped in a submarine; the player was given the option to either make Sonic try piloting the sub or to pop the hatch and take his chances in the water. No such sequence or system appears in the final game, but a branching story system did make it into Shadow the Hedgehog in 2005. This magazine was officially endorsed and approved of by Sega at the time, so you would think the information would be as close to the horse's mouth as you can get. When asked at a convention a few years ago, Takashi Iizuka denied anything like this was ever considered for Sonic Adventure 2.

Generally speaking, Sonic Adventure 2 was originally unveiled as a darker, scarier, more serious game. You go back and watch the trailer included with SA2: The Trial and parts of it are almost presented like a horror movie.

SA2's tone did seem to go through a bit of a shift at some point during development. That scary, mysterious, adult-oriented tone became more like a Hollywood action movie, either internally or externally.

If I had to guess, part of the "familiar faces" delay was more likely to add Tikal, Chaos, Metal Sonic and Amy Rose to multiplayer. Probably Big, too, and it wouldn't surprise me if Big the Cat's secret cameos came around this time as well. How much things changed beyond that is very unknown unless we get lucky and somehow see what very early builds of the game look like.

The only thing I'm truly curious about anymore is the branching story system. Takashi Iizuka might deny it, but it obviously came from somewhere official, and the feature literally ended up in the game generally considered to be "Sonic Adventure 2 Part 2." He could be forgetting something or even straight up covering for someone.

Gen:Lock Headcanon - Ages

Okok so my brain is absolutely fried and this is the rabbit hole I've gone down today.

Disclaimer: I don't know anything about military ranks or service, I'm just going off my research.

As of 2072 in season 1:

Based on promotional material, we know Cammie is canonically 17. We've seen Chase's birth year from the memorial wall too so we know he's 25 during S1.

The others don't have a canon age, but I'm gonna do my damned hardest to explain where I think they should be placed. We know they're all adults (barring Cammie), and due to Genlock having an age limit, likely all in their 20s. (Based on neuroplasticity research that the brain is highly plastic throughout childhood and puberty and up through about your mid 20s before it starts slowing down, so likely by 30-35 it's no longer safe to gL. Assuming Leon is late 30s - 40s this checks out)

We know Kazu was a sergeant in the Japanese Vanguard before being demoted then transferred to Genlock, so assuming he went through the ranks from Private - 1st class Private - Superior Private - Lance corporal - Corporal - Sergeant, he would probably have served about 4-5 years before Genlock. Assuming the enlistment age for Vanguard is still 18, that puts him at about 22-23 in S1.

Yaz doesn't have an official rank, but we know based on the character trailers that her combat history is comparable to Chase's. Assuming Chase, like Kazu, joined the Vanguard at 18, it means that likely He and Yaz have around 7 years in service as of S1. BUT we know for a fact that Yaz was a cadet pilot at 17 (From Storm Warning). So that likely puts her at about 23-24 in S1.

Now the hard part, because Val/entina's the hardest to pin down. Their rank of Senior Sergeant means they likely served for around 7-8 years, but we also know they were in retirement for a bit before gL. We also know for a fact they were already in service at 17 (Based on that same conversation in Storm Warning). In fact, the exact wording "When I was Cammie's age, I was already in the fight too" seems to imply that they joined the war before they were 17. Considering they fought for the Vanguard though, they probably lied on their enlistment form since they were younger than 18. Assuming Weller found them through their Vanguard files, that means they have to be young enough that their age in system is <30, but old enough that they have had that much experience in service. Assuming they spent a combined 7-8 years between the Russian Vanguard and Ukrainian Force Recon, and then a couple years in retirement, so a total of 9-10 years in time between enlistment and S1, Vanguard's files would likely place them at 27-28, which works out for our <30 rule. BUT knowing they enlisted at 15-16, (before 17 in line with Storm warning's dialogue), Val/entina would likely really be 24-25 as of S1.

TL:DR Canon: Cammie - 17 Chase - 25 My bets: Kazu - 22/23 Yaz - 23/24 Val/entina - 24/25

Thank you for listening to my ted-talk

So uh I spotted something interesting in this official pilot that I think will be familiar to you. Adding it to this week's shared locations!!

AAAAAAA!!!!! Tinidee!!! The Bad Buddy student apartments ride again!!! 💖

Thanks for the heads-up @sliceduplife and for tagging me on this week's QL Shared Filming Locations post (linked here). 🥰 Making my post public now that yours is up! 💖

(top) Make a Wish trailer timestamp 0.13; (bottom) BBS Ep.8 [1I4] 5.56

Fluke's angel is on Level 6 while Pat and Pran were on Level 4 though. And it's indicative of how much Bad Buddy has taken over my brain that I can recognize this location with just one glance – the carpet, the timber moldings and the recessed cove lighting that's switched off on one side... all so familiar to me. 😂

Thanks for highlighting – I feel like I just bumped into an old friend! 💖 And apologies to Make a Wish and also to the Tinidee people, but this location will always and only ever be PatPran's student apartments to me. 🥰

P.S. The "hospital" in the Make a Wish trailer (linked here) looks like the first storey corridor and lobby of Tinidee as well. I just did a quick check with BBS and the granite flooring, aircon FCU, timber laminate, and ceiling/corridor design all look to be a match... 💖
