while I like and respect the guy’s work (porco rosso oh man), and tbh everyone’s a hypocrite to some extent, I’ve always rolled my eyes a little at this Miyazaki-san comment on ~the worst kind of anime fan~
considering (a) the dude had a bona fide fetish for tanks/war planes and (b) made a media empire on that
buddy
you ain’t got a leg to stand on there

The soundtrack for Nocturnal Animals has me sketching new Maxmaker content.
i think a lot about the tipping point in turning away from ideologies a lot.
(much like a startup founder would think in terms of virality of sales; maybe there’s not a specific tipping point, but there’s usually an undeniable cluster of traits that keep popping up over and over again, and to me the most (and possibly only) ethical kind of growth hacking is deprogramming folks from cult-like brainwashing.
because that really seems like a key in the coming years - for the ‘-gate’ crew, others that you can probably think of, etc. can’t say there’s a common thread in the stories that I’ve read yet other than an innate curiosity in the target and saintly patience from the surrounding social net (which is great, but - listen, not everyone has the bandwidth for that, you know?),
- but, hell - i remember mine vividly.

lmao sorry for everyone who’s out of the loop … I wasn’t specific enough … but now that I’m sitting up and a little more awake, I feel like compiling more stuff for this Conspiracy Theory before I knock out SO! here goes.
Okay so … the canonicity of any of these things I’m about to post are tenuous at best, but I’m ready to burrow deeper into this shatual hole known as the dark history of Count Walon Vau of Gesl, secret lover of the eldest Kryze sibling, whom for the purposes of this outrageous wall of text will be referred to as Princess Kryze … because I’m assuming they’re a Royal Duchy, but more importantly because the wording in Walon Vau’s history says “princess” so that’s my real excuse, thank you.
I should probably like, give it a fancy title-sized font, I guess. maybe I should make it sound like some kind of … what are those magazines called … tabloids.
The Royal House’s Dark Secret: The Late Princess Kryze and The Exiled Count of Gesl
Maybe?
I actually wanted to go with ‘The Dark History of the Exiled Count of Gesl, secret lover to the late Princess Kryze, eldest daughter of the late Duke Adonai Kryze’ but that seems so long and wordy and too on-the-nose. The above is still too on the nose, but I’ve had a long day and I’m very tired.
Also editing to put this under a cut, as this was a LOT longer than I thought it’d turn out to be!
never forget the time three friends in three separate sets of circles watched hellsing for the first time and
immediately
messaged me to say
‘this explains so much about you krad’
lol
silly hot take time: akira is severely overrated in the same way that 2001: Space Odyssey is
idk why exactly but they just felt… soulless.
tokyo godfathers beats both in a heartbeat.
I pull one tiny thread and their whole world unravels into chaos. Glorious chaos.
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas “Eris”
Although I never got to work on this character, it was awesome to see the work being done on the team during production, supervised by the incredible, Dan Wagner
Eris has some of my favorite animation ever. Also her hair animation is awesome!

For any Hellsing fan migrating to pillowfort - I’ve made a very loose community for fics/art/everything else (that’s not explicitly RP).
I’m not going to keep a terribly close eye on it, but I have been on pillowfort for a year (hah), and it’s there if you need a place to start crossposting fanwork. :>
