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'

imagine you're cast as a character in a live action version of a cartoon and you play that character SO WELL that you replace the original voice actor for the character in all the upcoming cartoons... NO ONE is doing it like matthew lillard

it’s always fascinating to see someone hating on a character who is at once 1. very important to the story 2. very well written and 3. very popular in the fandom. like to each their own i guess but i just always stare at it for a while in disbelief. like are they pretending to swim against the tide for ragebait clout or something

i had never drawn a portrait for claire so i took it as an opportunity for Lore Development. so heres her id pic for her drivers license renewal in 2014. looking at you weirdly. do NOT put her behind the wheel. do NOT get in a car with claire swanson if she’s driving. actually maybe don’t get in a car with her at all

*being dragged away by dc fandom police*
you can't make me do it. you can't make me tag or call them andrew pulaski and lucas trent. you can't make me do anything!
*voice growing distant*
the only alien experiment from the authority is jack hawksmoor, the non-shoe wearing bastard. apollo and midnighter were post-humans engineered/built superhuman by henry bendix when he was weatherman of stormwatch. stormwatch, a united nations founded organization. a government organization!
they were the only survivors of the team stormwatch zero. stormwatch zero! dc used the premise of the garden for midnighter which they utilized from the old stormwatch plot.
read their original stuff. jenny quantum! if you don't know that name, then rea–

"canonically, johnny cade is latino! see!" [wikipedia screencap that reads CITATION NEEDED, followed by a post that clearly shows a clear demonstration that the user knows nothing about racism in the united states, jim crow laws, brown v. the board of education, the racial or socio economic history of tulsa, red lining, or any real basic knowledge of what history in the united states, specifically the south is, just so they can appear to be progressive instead of actually realizing what all of that meant and still does for tulsa. while having a ralph macchio as johnny cade icon, a man who clearly is not latino and was cast due in part to his clear resemblance to sal mineo a man who is also not latino]
me: you know what. i'm not even gonna engage.

Like, I don't think this is profoundly feminist or even deep, but I want to write a sci-fi novel that gives older sexist male sci-fi fans the exact experience of being a nerdy teenage girl and reading a Larry Niven novel.
Like, it's not even that it was a failure of progressivism, the way those novels treated women, it's just that you get halfway or less into all these novels and realize that the author is truly incapable of being normal about women, that the aliens are more human than the women in this man's inner world.
I want to create the equivalent for grown-ass men who like Warhammer and Dune. A novel that leaves a forty-five year old libertarian Heinlein fan like... well, that's an amazing vision of the future, but why does the author think I'm... icky?
