The words for sloppy and slutty are the same in German (Schlampig). So you can imagine how fast my head snapped to look at my computer screen when I was absentmindedly watching Improbable Cause in German for the first time and i genuinely believed for half a second Garak had just called the Tal Shiar sluts and not sloppy
#yes i know the subtitles aren't what he's saying but i dont wanna screen record and the word is still there#almost gave myself whiplash with this scene#star trek#ds9#deep space nine#elim garak#deep space 9#enabran tain#deutsches zeug#german#deutsch

Oh you have complicated feelings towards Germany? Let me make 91836373 assumptions about it with my piss poor understanding of history, not listen to germans at all and then come to a horrendously bad and false conclusion on why that is! Also I think you germans should stop feeling guilty and be proud of your country again!
#I know people mean well when they say stuff like you should be proud of your country but my fucking god they are annoying#rains rants#german stuff#''I'm sure now that I a random person with no connection to germany commented this somewhere with my obvious zero understanding of germany-#all germans reading this will go 'oh hey you're right' and then feel patriotic! I'm sure my dumb comment will solve a what I regard#as issue of an entire country with a population of 80 million people! no need to thank me and my superior world view!''#sorry had to let that out somewhere.. the amount of times I see stupid ass comments like that is insane#ough post derailed I should've specified how I ment this sorry I get easily annoyed at this#The notes reinforce something I specifically did NOT mean but I didn't specify that in the post that was just in my thoughts#hate the reinforcement of the 'guilt' stereotype or the as long as we deal with nazis and stuff we aren't 'allowed' to be proud like no-#wait this isn't what this was about. Yes they're all still own topics to be discussed#although the last point doesn't exist agh forget everything I said actually#it's learning from history and taking responsibility not we can't be proud because some people are antisemitic and our past is dark#I should've turned off reblogs way earlier

Hellsing 2002 calendar illustration.
Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen
A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death
#hellsing#alucard#kouta hirano#translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent#fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online#i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands#the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake#anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool#if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first#and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf#i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia#then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point#but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page#and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh#the hellsing brainrot runs deep#also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491#except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo#the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002#which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch#sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less#it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was#maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

well what family doesn't keep a secret vampire family member hidden deep in in the basement /s
EDIT: Rest of the comic is now under the cut!
----------
BONUS:
#first fullpage comic in my new sketchbook woooo 🎉#poor rune. accidentally hibernated for 20 years and he didn't even do it on purpose.#you can tell by the fact that he went to nap in his freakin pajamas#as you do when you go to sleep#but then this time he just. didn't wake up. and his family assumed it was on purpose. so they just let him???#oops?????#yes munch is a surname that's been used in norway - especially in towns that had historically had contact with german merchants. fun fact#so while his dad was originally literally a windenburg townie from the sims 4... it still works#oh yeah the way i am handling language in this comic. do keep in mind it is set in norway and the canon language is actually norwegian#so while any dialog usually gets masked with english so you may actually understand wtf people are saying#text on objects do not get translated. because they're a part of the world and stuff. it's the way people see them. that makes sense right#(don't even get me started on my complex relationship with written norwegian. long story short: it is a pain)#EDIT: now with the full comic under the readmore

second installment in the "thoughts on all the in-universe movies and shows that would get made based on Steve Rogers' life" series (which absolutely nobody asked for, but I'm sharing it anyway): at least one of the Howling Commandos era movie trailers is without a doubt 100000% set to some version of Karel Gott's Rot und Schwarz/Paint It Black cover
#am I saying this just because I personally would like to see that? yes.#was this inspired by remembering that one very forgettable german inglorious basterds-esque ww2 netflix movie? also yes.#does that make it less objectively thematically appropriate and also a fucking banger of a cover? no it does not.#also it doubles as a love song (or at least more than the original paint it black) which. I mean come on.#max.txt#howling commandos#I guess?

when you read a book series and you don’t know anyone at all who has also read said series, so you must go to the fandom which coincidentally is actually a really big fanbase despite the fact that it is a self published trilogy from 2013.
But also a concerning amount of them speak russian for some reason and now you’re like, do I have to learn russian? Is this my life now?
#yes this is about all for the game#aftg#aftg shitpost#russian#languages#just fandom things#this is a joke#although i might actually say fuck it and try to pick up russian#andrew minyard#neil joston#aaron minyard#nicky minyard#kevin day#no cause my favorite part is like none of the characters in the books do#unless its in second or third book#like you have german french japanese#but not russian

Random thing I learnt while doing research for a paper:
The beginning of German (radio) broadcasting history started in the so called Vox-Haus (Vox-house) with the broadcast of the first radio show for entertainment.
And there is a TV channel in Germany which is called VOX and its colour scheme is red-black.
Vox, I have questions.
#my brain was already spending too much time thinking about Hazbin Hotel bc of the whole radio stuff#and then Vox appears like that#is Vox German in my head now?#yes#this one paragraph about the Vox-Haus gave me way too many ideas for headcanons#I just live for the coincidence here#and the coincidence that VOX has Alastor's colour scheme#vox#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel vox#late night shitpost#akikos shitpost#okay but you need to know that the Vox-Haus was demolished in the 70s#and the TV channel VOX was founded in the 90s#ignoring the time related issues#this looks like as if VOX decided to give up his radio business and went into television business#getting rid of evidence that he ever worked in the radio business#just saying you can create some head canons out of this#yes I've spent too much time thinking about this for no reason#the TV channel is btw not related to the Vox-Haus in any way#it's just a coincidence that they share a name

I made myself an excel trying to grasp transport time and price for different routes and I think I've come to the conclusion that if I want to go for 3 concerts the best will be to either go for Berlin-Cologne-Hamburg or Hamburg-Frankfurt-Munich
#yes I am a nerd x'D#(taking Zürich will cost around 67 euro extra but also give me two days of “rest” aka time I need to spend on a hotel)#so my intuision with hamburg was correct :'D#now I just need to figure out if I want the first or second part of the german tour xD#i know that the munich people had a pretty good time (with jere saying hi and everything) last year + I have friends maybe going there#so that is talking in its favour#however berlin last year was amazing plus it is in the weekend so that speaks for the first part of the tour#I think I might need more thinking time but I got closer to something x'D#micahs foolery#micahs thoughts#käärijä eu tour 2024
