Slan by A.E. van Vogt (1940)

"How mighty the fear must be that prompts so much effort, so much expense, for so little return!" - Jommy Cross

For a peak at the origins of the 'mutant sci-fi' genre, years before X-Men, plus, just a really great sci-fi novel, read Slan... man.

Making a fan manga of Locus

Almost all of Berserk fans would have once had this question; "How this guy became an apostle?" Yes, so have I.

Locus is my favorite villain from Berserk. He is noble, loyal, and one of the strongest apostles. He hasn't lost his spirit as a knight even after becoming an apostle. That's why I love him.

His backstory is still hidden. We don't know how he became an apostle. I decided to depict what I imagined for his past life in manga. This is not an official, but I believe it has a reality as one episode from the world of Berserk.

I started this manga around the end of 2021, then have been posting the panels on Instagram. It has not been finished yet, but you can read all the pages I drew until now in my account; https://www.instagram.com/shiroyama_berserk/

When it is completed, I will post all the pages in tumblr too.

Relatedly, I was actually a little surprised by the sheer number of people writing in to the zines who were very clear that they'd never, ever felt like they fit in with other people, until they got into this new thing called "scientifiction" and its fanciful tales of elves and aliens and robots*. And then they discovered this group called "fandom", full of people who also loved talking about the same thing over and over, and had very passionate feelings about everything that was wrong with the world. Was it possible that "fans" were some special type of human? In fact, they almost got a little cult started in the 40s, based on the slogan "Fans are Slans" (Slans were an evolved kind of psychic human in a contemporary SF series). But then that got derailed by an actual cult that was started by Claude Degan, a recent couch-surfing arrival to fandom who turned out to not be joking about his frequent statements that Martians had arrived on Earth. It also turned out he was a sex offender who had to be chased off by the detective work of some of the old guard.

But anyway. I feel like I could have prevented more than a few fights by traveling back in time to explain that hey guys, there's actually a certain type of person who tends to get very fixated on minuscule details that, when you step back and take a deep breath, aren't really that important to begin with. Then again, looking at modern fandom, where we all know that and still get into the most absurd fights over nothing, maybe not.

*Fantasy, horror and modern-style science fiction were actually lumped in together for some time when they were emerging as genres; it was a while before they were split into "weird things caused by magic" and "weird things caused by science". For example, Poe wrote some of the first realistic detective stories, and he was considered a founder of speculative fiction in a way that didn't exclude or separate his psychological horror or his work with supernatural elements.

Adi Shankar: I am a big fan of Berserk and Miura's legacy needs to be preserved

Adi Shankar the second he's given the keys to the car, I'm sure of it: So naturally there are various elements within the story that are pretty dated by today's standards so I'm going to alter a bunch of things here and there in order to make Berserk more acceptable to a modern audience

As an aside imagine the Deats brothers trying to justify, I dunno maybe Slan raping Guts in a "sexy way" by saying "But Miura already brought the horny :P"

Oh, absolutely. The two anime and movie trilogy may have been criticized for sticking too close to the manga while cutting out things for time constraints, but a Western take would absolutely censor stuff to make it more palatable to modern audiences.

After all, there is a reason why to this day we haven't seen a Lost Children adaptation :^)

(hell, Rosine alone would be a good example of this mentality. She wears no clothes because 1) she openly disdains humans and believes herself to be the queen of elves, so why would she bother conforming to human taboos, and 2) in Japan, nude children are seen as a symbol of innocence, and the whole point of Rosine is that she is a traumatized child and not "evil" as we intend it. But of course, she'd be only seen as loli bait and as proof that Miura was just a dirty pedo :) )

To be fair, "Miura brought the horny" is not as bruh-worthy as saying the same thing for Kojima. But it's one thing to point out how full of nudity and sexual themes Berserk is, and another to use it to apologize rape scenes - which, again, never happens in Berserk.

Correct me if I'm wrong. In order for Godhand to form in the form in which it exists now, 5 Eclipses had to occur. 5 new angels: Void, Ubik, Konrad, Slan and Femto, with Void appearing after the fall of Gaiseric's empire, approximately 1000 years ago. Between 5 Eclipses 4 time intervals of 216 years. It turns out that 216 * 4 = 864 years should have passed from Void to Femto. But it is said that about 1000 years have passed (and the empire fell 1000 years ago). We add another interval of 216 years and get 1080 years. But then, it turns out, since the showdown between Void and Gaiseric, 5 time intervals between 6 Eclipses should have passed? I hope I expressed myself clearly. Thank you in advance! <3

Hmm, I see what you mean. lol I've never really thought about the math before. But honestly I've always theorized that Gaiseric was an incarnated godhand given the direct comparisons to Griffith and NGriff resurrecting his empire, and this fits that theory, since incarnated Godhands happen once every thousand years. So you'd get Gaiseric in year 0, who then incarnates at some point and builds a skull-themed empire, then Void in year 216, then (imo) Conrad in 432, then Ubik in 648, then Slan in 864, then Femto in 1080, which is close enough to a thousand.

My theory is basically that Gaiseric becomes godhand with the previous four, incarnates back to earth like Griffith did, builds his empire, then Void sacrifices it to ascend, Gaiseric turns on the Godhand, destroys or imprisons the other 4 but Void survives, and this is how the cycles go according to fate. Something has to get rid of the previous set, and I like the idea of the incarnate fifth doing it, with the noob surviving to start the process over.

GRANTED the flashback we saw throws a wrench into that theory, in the form of Gaiseric fucking a fairy queen, but a) It's strongly implied that the godhand are also the elemental spirits Schierke calls on (because Schierke states that those spirits are the same as the Holy See's 4 archangels, which are said by Mozgus to be the Godhand) so it makes sense to me that their relationship to Elfhelm is more complicated than just 'enemies,' and/or that this was the event that made them enemies, and b) Griffith also has emotions lol lbr so there's no actual reason Gaiseric couldn't have been in love with Danann's mom or whatever.

Also I've seen Miura mention the 216 years thing once, and it wasn't particularly enlightening:

Interviewer: I see. I have a few more questions on Berserk's mysteries, now. What was the "216 years" thing for the Eclipse about? Miura: Ah, that's just when solar eclipses happen at the same place. Interviewer: Oh, so that's what it means. Miura: Yeah, and if you divide it by a thousand years you get exactly five people. Just happened to work out. Interviewer: Interesting.

Given the pretty cavalier answer, it's also possible that we're just meant to round up to a thousand from 864, or it's a plot hole because Miura didn't think the math completely through. But I'm a fan of my theory lol so I've got my fingers crossed for that explanation.

And I mean even if Gaiseric isn't the incarnated godhand from a thousand years ago, there's no indication it's Void either, so the math could still work out, and the previous incarnated Godhand just isn't a big enough deal in the story to be an interesting foreshadowed reveal.

Thanks for the ask, hope this answer makes sense. I'm never quite sure when it comes to math lol.

Hello there Slan fans.

Thanks for the ask moth! 💖

1. list 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

For berserk:

- I love the little corner of the fandom that I hang out in, it’s a very fun and comfy corner 💖

- in our corner we aren’t afraid to discuss and often even criticize canon, all while being fans of it, because there’s certainly plenty of things to criticize! One thing I can’t stand in some fandoms is when people are unable or unwilling to listen to criticisms of the source material, so this is a definite plus for me. because I like to bitch a lot.

- the creativity in this fandom is awesome! From people organizing events to those who participate to the fanart and fics and meta that exist— it’s honestly great.

For ES21

- because it’s a minuscule small fandom, there’s really no fandom drama to speak of.

- the few people who are still active in this fandom are very friendly and welcoming ✨

- despite me being into a pretty obscure ship at this point, I’ve found a like minded friend who I can talk about it with, which has been awesome!

2. a headcanon you weren’t sure about at first but have come to like!

HHHMMMMM. For Berserk I feel like I've been pretty decisive about whether I personally like a headcanon or not pretty quickly, because I feel Very Strongly about this series lol. I can't really think of one off the top of my head.

For es21, I guess I could say my ace headcanon for Hiruma? I used to not really think about it, but now I can't imagine him as anything other than on the ace spectrum.

9. a ship that isn’t your OTP but that you enjoy

Guts/Serpico, Casca/Charlotte, Slan paired with Casca or Charlotte or Farnese lol any of those three options would be great for different reasons. Also Slan/Danaan, because it's a vibe. Guts/Zodd and Griffith/Zodd are also a vibe.

For es21, like I mentioned before Shin/Sena is cute, Kid/Testuma might as well be canon as far as I'm concerned, uhhh. You know there's a ton of ship configurations in es21 since there's so many characters, but not many that I care about tbh 🤔

17. a thing in canon that everyone loves and that you also love

This is hard to say for berserk because it's a fandom that's deeeeeeeeeply divided on many things lol. Oh I love that Casca has muscles (at least during the GA)-- though idk what the dudebro consensus is about that lol, but they don't matter so who cares.

For es21, just how fucked up and wild Hiruma is as a character. I've already made this joke before so forgive me but he's like if Light Yagami and Bugs Bunny had a kid. It's great.

Ty for the ask!! <3

Ag tabhairt do dhroim dom, shiúil tú uaim

Go fóill gan roinnt focail liom

I mo chroí ag crith, bhéic mé amach mar pháiste

Ná himigh, ná himigh, hé…

Ag tabhairt mo dhroim duit, shiúil mé uait

Ba gá dom imeacht roimh a thit mo dheora

Chuir mé i gcéill gur fuath liom a bheith róshona

Chuir mé cuma dhearfach orm agus scaoil mé le mo thodhchaí mo mhéine… (mo mhéine…)

Agus an ghuí nach gheobhaidh mé ar ais… (ar ais…)

Mothaíonn an t-árasán stiúideo seo beagáinín mhór

Cosúil go bhfuil sé ag leathnú an bhearna i mo chroí

Mothaíonn gach nóiméad agus soicind ach beagáinín fada

Dá mbeinn á caitheamh leat,

Nach bhronnfadh an domhan seo fiú mo ghuí?

Is féidir fiú bréag amháin

Deora a bhaint asat

Bhailigh mé an oiread sin peacaí, níl mé in ann iad a comhaireamh

Mar ag teagmháil do lámh

Agus ag iarraidh mo shaol a caitheamh go bog in aice leat

Is cosúil gur caithim píosa amháin ár stair uaim gach uair a piocaim suas píosa amháin m’anois

In ár gcuimhní agus n-am teoranta

Fiú mo bheith ann, ach seasamh ann

Go cinnte, imeoidh sé as do chuimhní

Nach féidir linn fill ar ais, uair amháin eile?

An bhfuil an áit seo an tús nó an deireadh?

Níl an oíche ina bhfuil m�� ag codladh i leaba rómhór thart go fóill

Táim fós ag féachaint ar brionglóid i m’aonar

Brionglóid ina cuardaím trí do chuimhní

Bhailigh mé an oiread sin peacaí, níl mé in ann iad a comhaireamh

Mar ag teagmháil do lámh

Agus ag iarraidh mo shaol a caitheamh go bog in aice leat

Mar go bhfuil mé ag cúiteamh é leat leis an pian m’uaigneas,

Lig dom fan i do chuimhní go bog

Bheadh sé go deas dá bhféadfaimis bualadh le chéile arís lenár mothúcháin gan athrú

Ansin, d’fhéadfaimis ár lámha a bhreith le chéile

Go dtí an t-am sin,

“Slan go fóill”

JD Vance is probably the kind of nerd who would have voted against banning Walter Breen from Worldcon, on the grounds that ostracising people for being weird and gross was normie behaviour and thus beneath his fellow nerds, before going on to become a leading light in the "Fans Are Slans" movement.

Vance is a "nerd"? Literally could not tell.

He's one of those angry, weird, gatekeeping nerds who gets angry when a gross girl wants to touch his Magic cards, then complains that no girls will talk to him.

He's all the weird things we've worked so hard to push out of the larger community of nerds that we all love.

He isn't a nerd, really. He's more of a chud.

Blog 5 Final

Since he has done so much for ozploitation. I am going to stick my main man George Miller and in my opinion his best film Mad Max: Fury Road. George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road, released in 2015, has been widely acclaimed by both critics and scholars for its impressive action sequences, stunning visuals, and feminist themes. As a fan of action movies, I was excited to watch it and see what all the fuss was about. After watching the film and reading various reviews, I can understand why it received so much critical acclaim.

The plot of the film is set in a post-apocalyptic world where water, gasoline, and other resources are scarce. Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), a tyrant who controls the only water supply in the area, keeps a group of women as his breeders and sex slaves. Furiosa, a female warrior, rebels against Immortan Joe and helps the women escape with the help of Max. The film follows their dangerous journey across the desert as they face various obstacles, including a group of warriors called the War Boys, led by Nux.

The film has been praised for its thrilling action sequences, stunning visual effects, and strong female characters. The portrayal of Furiosa, in particular, has been hailed as a breakthrough for feminist representation in action films. In especially 2015 this was a fantastic image for all of Hollywood, because of the powerful aura of all the female characters. Scholars have also noted the film's use of classical Hollywood action genre conventions, such as car chases, explosions, and shootouts.

In terms of character psychology, Max is portrayed as a man haunted by his past and struggling with his inner demons. He is initially reluctant to help Furiosa and the women but eventually becomes their protector and ally. Furiosa, on the other hand, is depicted as a strong and determined woman who is driven by a desire to overthrow the oppressive system and save her people. Nux is a complex character who starts off as a loyal follower of Immortan Joe but eventually questions his allegiance and joins forces with Max and Furiosa.

One of the key aspects that stood out to me was the film's practical effects and physicality, which was also a common theme in scholarly articles such as the discussion of production design by Mark L. Robinson. It was amazing to see how much of the film's stunts and action sequences were done with practical effects, instead of relying heavily on CGI. This added to the immersive experience of watching the film, as everything felt more real and tangible. The design of the vehicles, costumes, and props also added to the post-apocalyptic world that Miller created.

Critics and popular sources alike praised the film for its strong female characters and thrilling action sequences. Many reviews such as those by Peter Travers of Rolling Stone and Brian Truitt of USA Today highlighted the feminist themes in the film, particularly the character of Imperator Furiosa played by Charlize Theron. Furiosa's strength and determination were inspiring, and it was refreshing to see a female character take on a leading role in an action film. Furthermore, the film was noted for its thrilling action sequences, with Travers describing it as "a white-knuckle ride that comes at you in warp speed."

In addition to the practical effects and feminist themes, the film's visuals were also a standout aspect. The color palette, cinematography, and editing all contributed to the high-octane energy of the film. The fast-paced editing and use of close-ups during action sequences made them even more thrilling to watch. The film's use of visual storytelling was also impressive, as much of the story was conveyed through visuals instead of dialogue. Scholars such as James Harvey discuss the film's visual storytelling, highlighting how the film's opening sequence sets up the world and the story without the need for dialogue.

However, the film was not without its critics. Some reviews such as those by Jake Cole of Slant Magazine and Katie Rife of The A.V. Club criticized the film for being too simplistic and lacking depth. While these criticisms were in the minority, they still represent an important part of the critical discourse surrounding the film.

In response to the critical reception of the film, George Miller has been very gracious and humble. In an interview with The Guardian, Miller stated that "it's always better to get positive reviews than negative ones" but acknowledged that it's impossible to please everyone. He also thanked fans and critics for their enthusiasm for the film, stating that he was "overwhelmed" by the response. Miller's response to the critical reception of the film shows that he values the opinions of both fans and critics, and that he is willing to accept constructive criticism.

Overall, the critical reception of Mad Max: Fury Road reflects widespread appreciation for George Miller's vision and his ability to push the boundaries of the action genre. As someone who enjoys action movies, I was impressed with the film's use of practical effects, stunning visuals, and feminist themes. The film's positive critical reception is well-deserved, and it is clear that George Miller is a master of his craft. The film's ability to receive such positive reception from both critics and audiences alike speaks to its cultural significance as a modern action classic.

I didn't mention this in the main part but, this channel always has good videos about critiquing movies no matter how good it is.

Max first meeting the women, while still being used as the blood bag.

Fantastic Visual Shot. George Miller tells the story more through visuals than through dialogue. Most of this movie was also practical effects with some cgi.

The Women are the light source of the group while Furiosa and Max are the protectors, and trying their best to keep them alive.
