Pretty funny little confession: a lot of my old Nausicaä posts are captioned and tagged with this:

"Hepburn: Kaze no Tani no Naushika"

And it's not because I wanted to indicate that this is the Japanese name written out in Latin letters... it's because I thought that's the whole name in Japanese. I thought the word "Hepburn" was just part of the Japanese title of Nausicaä

ALL YOUR BREATH ARE BELONG TO US.

This whole thing is based on the All Your Base Are Belong To Us meme. The warning at the beginning is because a.) the music is a subgenre of hardcore techno known as gabber and kind of loud, in case you are unfamiliar with this kind of EDM and/or the song in the original video, and, b.) concerns such as photosensitive epilepsy (at one point, 16 images appear in just under four seconds).

More background beneath cut.

(Writeup also posted on dreamwidth and post about video also shared on zeroes; video on Vimeo and on YouTube as well.)

A rundown on the content of the vid:

The images of the wolf are from the seventh episode of the fourth episode of The Simpsons, Marge Gets a Job; it is a wolf startled by LOUD NOISES. Then it's Cats from Zero Wing (the video game central to the All Your Base Are Belong To Us meme) with a SARS-CoV-2 virion for a face. And the poster for the 2017 film The Shape of Water (see also on zeroes). Then it's the webcomic Dinosaur Comics! (Thanks, Ryan!) Next a reference to the slipcase for White Town (Jyoti Mishra)'s Your Woman. (Just added a mask to the picture of the cat with the thumbs up; I am afraid I am unaware of the origin of the original cat meme...) Then it's the first page of All's Well, that Ends Well from the First Folio of Shakespeare's plays, published in 1623. And then the scene from the 2022 film Glass Onion when Lionel Toussaint holds up a faxed message from Miles Bron: "Uber for Biospheres". Next, a reference blog/webcomic Hyperbole and a Half and a panel for one comic where the author portrays an initial manic enthusiasm when cleaning up: "CLEAN ALL THE THINGS".

The original Doge photo. (See also: DOGE on tumblr, DOGE on zeroes.)

And The Quest of the Virosols!!! I really appreciate these graphics. (Please note, I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center, I am publicly disseminating useful information for educational purposes; All Your Breath Are Belong To Us is a PSA <3)

The record is based on Otis Rush's "All Your Love" and "COVID" was "Cobra" (see also: some images used to construct).

The Sudden Clarity Clarence meme!

An animation of a diaphragm exhaling and inhaling (with the little purple virosols added!)

And then False Knees Comic 296! (Thanks, Joshua!) (I am once again reminding you that I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center.)

And the next six images are the only memes I've not made in this vid (and the person who added the masks to pictures of these images has approved the use of them in this video; thank you!)

Fruit by Alphonse Mucha (Source.)

Le Désespéré by Gustave Courbet (Source.)

Autoportrait by Tamara de Lempicka (Source.)

Trop tôt by James Tissot (Source.)

Autorretrato con Collar de Espinas by Frida Kahlo (Source.)

A photo of the models for Grant Wood's American Gothic standing beside the painting itself. (Source.)

Then the poster for the 1994 film The Mask. (See also on zeroes.) Next a scene from Datalore, the thirteenth episode of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

And a reference to a version of the album cover for Vangelis' 1985 album Mask. (See also: Vangelis' Mask (1985) is not to be confused with Vangelis' mask (Ninjago), which is a face cover worn by King Vangelis of the Kingdom of Shintaro (for like, a moment [while trying to find info about the album cover], I thought the Greek composer and arranger of electronic, progressive, ambient, and classical orchestral music had an alter ego known as the Skull Sorcerer, but apparently not). [mirror on zeroes])

Aaaaand the Original Goncharov shoe!!! (See also.) Then the 1984 film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind [風の谷のナウシカ "kaze no tani no naushika"]; the character Nausicaä wears this mask in the original film. Next, an image of a number of risks, originally published by the CDC.

Steamed Hams. (See also: ...and you call for "cleaned hands" despite the fact COVID is obviously airborne... [mirror on zeroes])

(I am once again reminding you that I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center.)

GEORDI LA FORGE! (See also: Hand washing as but one component of a "Swiss cheese model" composed of preventative measures including personal actions [such as wearing a well-fitting mask, physical distancing, avoiding crowds, and "staying home when sick"], as well as public measures [such as standards for ventilation and air filtration of indoor spaces, effective messaging on disease prevention, and reliable support for those needing to "stay home sick"], mitigations which, when used in combination, significantly reduce the spread of airborne disease.)

WEDNESDAY FROG MEME! (See also: It is Airborne, my dudes. [mirror on zeroes])

S'CHN T'GAI SPOCK! (See also: logic clearly dictates that SARS-CoV-2 spreads via infected breath [and can remain suspended in the air, travelling inside tiny specs of moisture, floating like smoke or mist]; therefore, COVID is airborne; mask up, live long, and prosper [mirror on zeroes])

The woman yelling at a cat meme.

The Is This a Pigeon? meme. (See also: "Droplets" are basically spittle, falling to the ground not far from the source [the infected person's mouth]. "Aerosols" are pretty much breath, tiny particles of infectious virus-containing-moisture that can remain suspended in the air [able to float distances greater than a metre]. [mirror on zeroes])

Darmok and Jalad at 2 metres! (See also: 2 metres physical distance helps you to avoid droplets [infected spittle] but "COVID is airborne" and floats like cigarette smoke, so even 2 metres still means a risk of airborne transmission [from infected breath]. Like Tanagra, 2 metres from a potential source of infection is still a place of potential danger. [mirror on zeroes])

Napoleon Dynamite (the shirt with "COVID IS AIRBORNE" originally says "VOTE FOR PEDRO"). (See also: I spent last summer making Corsi-Rosenthal Box filters, like, fifty of 'em! The SARS-CoV-2 floating in the air kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that? [mirror on zeroes])

Pokemon! (See also: if COVID aerosols/breath builds up somewhere indoors that isn't well ventilated, and the air is not filtered well enough, you may get sick even after an infected person has left the room. [mirror on zeroes])

AVATAR. (And yes, the font used for "AIRBORNE" is Papyrus.) (I am once again asking you to remember that I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center.)

GONCHAROV!!! GONCHAROV!!! (Thanks Beelz!) (See also: Written by Mattwo JWHJ 0715. [mirror on zeroes])

The Always has been meme. (See also: Aerosols/breath (tiny bits of infected moisture) can remain suspended in the air and are able to float distances greater than a metre. [mirror on zeroes])

(I am once again asking you to remember that I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center.) Aside from the images which just are what the are (e.g. the CDC infographic, the ASRC graphics), and the six images related to paintings, all memes were put together by yours truly. <3 The song was, originally, "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by the Laziest Men on Mars, which sampled music created by Tatsuya Uemura and Noriyuki Iwadare.

Re-writing of lyrics, and the audio and video editing, were also my doing; REAPER for the audio editing, GNU Image Manipulation Program for the meme making, Shotcut for the video editing.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984 Kaze no Tani no Naushika))

Written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki,

[thiscrimsonsoul]

⭐️ - Who are some characters that remind you of yourself?

{out of paprikash} I assume by "characters" you mean muses, and not just... all characters everywhere. Because we all want to go to sleep sometimes this week and you don't want me reviewing all fictional characters I know for traits like mine haha. Although...

...I will tell a short story about a character who isn't a muse because this has always stuck with me and it is the first thing that came to mind about a character that reminds me of myself. I don't write this character, but she comes from my favorite movie of all time, Kaze no tani no Naushika, or Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Here's a weird little tale, heh... below the cut.

This movie was released in 1984, when I was four years old. At the time, I was unaware that it was a Japanese movie, didn't know who Hayao Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli was, and didn't speak/know any Japanese. My parents bought me a VHS tape of a movie called Warriors of the Wind. It quickly became my favorite movie. It's a very complex story but in a nutshell, a brave, nature-loving princess is kindof ping-ponged around between a militaristic country and an industrious country who are warring with each other over resources found in the "Toxic Jungle," lol, which I later found out is actually called the Sea of Corruption in the Japanese version.

It's a metaphor for like... overuse, squandering, and depletion of fossil fuels in real life, because the Sea is a forest in which everything is oversized (the insects are huge) and very toxic due to this world's equivalent of nuclear weapons causing the soil to be contaminated. But when these giant insects and things die, their bodies can be used as fuel and other resources, which is exactly how petroleum is made in reality, from the decomposing bodies of ancient creatures, but yeah. Anyway, this princess, her name is Nausicaa, is kindof held hostage by these countries in various ways to try and use her small kingdom as leverage in their war and to gain access to these resources. Meanwhile she loves the insects, visits the Sea often, and is studying how to detoxify the soil.

I didn't know any of this when I was little, because I only saw the Warriors of the Wind version which, aside from cutting the runtime down from over two hours to below 90 minutes, changed everyone's names (Nausicaa became Zondra? wtf?) and tried to slant the story more in an epic fantasy war fashion instead of the environmental and war activism piece that it actually is. They cut out so much from the the plot that I never even got to see.

Fast forward to when I'm in high school, I love Japanese language and culture and am studying the language in school. It's at this time that I discover Studio Ghibli and start watching other films like Mononoke Hime and Laputa.

I had grown up loving animals and insects. I played with the snails, slugs, and pill bugs in my back yard all the time. Pill bugs, incidentally, were the inspiration behind my favorite insects in Nausicaa, the Ohmu, which I didn't find out until I was much older:

I was often made fun of by other kids for liking bugs, and they would come and step on ones I was playing with and I would always cry. I hated to see anything killed. Beyond that, I loved science and knew I wanted to get involved with environmental science, and eventually, I did. When I graduated from high school, I went to college for environmental science, and my chosen area of research ended up being soil and water contamination and how to use bacteria to "eat" pollutants to clean them up. As a side project, I also studied how plants can be used to filter contaminants out of water and soil, and how symbiotic relationships between plants and bacteria can enhance the abilities of either to remediate contaminated soil and water.

It was around this time that I found out that my beloved Warriors of the Wind was actually a bastardized version of Kaze no tani no Naushika, and found out that my favorite movie is actually about a half hour longer than I thought it was. I was honestly horrified, and I needed to watch the full Japanese, un-dubbed version, so I did. And I was shocked by what I saw...

Zondra was actually Nausicaa, and she was a scientist:

Not only that, but what did she study? The soil and water of the Sea of Corruption. She found out that it isn't the plants that are toxic, it's something in the soil, and that growing the plants hydroponically (using only water, no soil) resulted in plants that were free of contamination. It was her hypothesis that the Sea could be remediated with the proper cultivation techniques. But... no one cared. No one believed her. So eventually... she shut off the water in her lab and let everything die out of a loss of hope. This is her slumped onto her desk in her lab after she's turned everything off, just grieving the fact that no one cares about such research:

Now... at the time i was watching this movie, things were happening in my country politically that caused funding for a lot of environmental projects to be shut down. I lost my research job, but continued doing my research for free for over a year at my university because I cared so much about it. Eventually... I had to stop, and the project was never re-funded. It broke my heart. And then I watched the full version of this movie I'd loved since I was four years old, only to discover that one of my idols when I was an impressionable child was also a soil/water environmental scientist who struggled with a lack of interest for her research about decontaminating soil and plants...

...and I honestly had a moment. I started crying as I watched it. I don't know why, I just... it was so weird that I had unknowingly followed the same path in life as this character without even knowing that was her path at all in the first place, and her struggles and emotions hit very close to home for me because I had cared about the same things and been ignored, patronized, and tossed aside too. It was honestly the most pointed case of me identifying with a fictional character that I've ever experienced in my life, and to this day it makes me emotional to think about it.

NOW... as far as MUSES that remind me of myself... Uhhhhhm. Hmm. Sadly, Freya. She got really screwed by love and so did I, and I just... I get her. I get that aspect of her. She was betrayed by her lover (or so she thought, I guess I should say), and I had a 17-year relationship with someone I thought I was going to spent my life with, only for him one day to turn around and say the most hurtful things and dump me really cruelly out of the blue. So I get it. I get being angry at love and losing that innocence and luster of believing in the magic of it. Romantic love now holds no beauty for me personally anymore and I just want to be single, so I get you, girl, I totally do. But also, like her, deep down, I still long for that? Like I still wish I could’ve had that idyllic love? I don’t believe in it anymore but I wish I could? Sometimes I cry when I see Zales or Kay commercials of these happy couples proposing and looking so happy because I’m like... didn’t I deserve that too? Freya’s final line at the end of Winter’s War always stabs me in the heart because I’m right there with her in that sentiment... when she sees Eric and Sara so in love as she’s laying there dying and she says, “How lucky you are.” Yeah. That’s... That’s some real shit right there. SORRY TO BE A DOWNER OMG. MOVING ON... XDDD

Channe is another muse who reminds me of myself, and she should, considering when she was first created in 2005, she was about 30-40% a self-insert OC to help me deal with some of my own trauma in life. I don’t write self-inserts, it’s just not something I do. She was the only one, so she stands out for that reason. Since then, she’s deviated a lot from me and become a lot more complex, but I always think of her as a creative child of mine for that reason, heh.

And finally, I would say AoU- and maybe a little CW-era Wanda reminds me of myself but for superficial reasons. Her hair, jewelry, clothing, and overall aesthetic is very much like mine, so she reminded me of myself on occasion with the many rings and necklaces, pulling her hands into her sleeves, wearing her dark brown hair long, painting her nails black... yeah that’s all me, heh.

That’s all I can think of at the moment. I tried, haha.
