Started Going Through The Enstars Main Story And What Do You Mean Idols Earn In Money In The Form Of

you guys have heard about how the "new species of anaconda" story was total bunk intentionally funded by Disney and NatGeo to get lots of flashy headlines and have more people pay to watch their stupid fake documentary with Will Smith, right

today I recited Shakespeare to a small army of eight-year-olds

So last week an email got sent round my college asking if anyone wanted to read some poetry to primary school kids and I was the only one who responded and I asked if I could do some Shakespeare, since I have quite a lot of experience with it, and the teacher said that would be fine.

So I was discussing with friends what I should do and they said ‘er yeah, don’t do Shakespeare.’ And I was like ‘what why’ and they went ’well, maybe if they’re over 10 but otherwise you’ll just get blank looks’ and I went ‘well I don’t want to insult their intelligence’ and then another friend was like ‘hey you should do that kid’s song ‘When I Was One’, they’ll like that!!’ (it’s a really babyish song for toddlers with silly actions) and I thought about it and was ‘like nah actually, I’ll do the ‘Once more unto the breach’ speech’

So I learned that over the week, and I was walking up to the school, and the whole way I was thinking ‘Oh god this was a terrible idea they’re going to hate it, they’re going to look at me blankly like those kids in The Polar Express, my friends were right it’s going to be a disaster’, and I was there early, so I sat in the classroom for the first half an hour, got given a cupcake by some kids from a different class, said hello to some of the kids in my class, they got a look at me.

At half 2 the teacher mentioned I would be reading some poetry, and I asked if we could go outside, which she was more than happy to allow, and the kids were all so confused (‘where are we going? Isn’t it only poetry?’) and we got onto the field, the teacher got them all to stand an arm’s length apart from each other, so I could walk around them, and I did a brief overview of where the scene came in the play, how the king is on the battlefield, talking to his soldiers (“Could all you be the soldiers?” “Yes!!”) and they’re attacking the French, who are all in a castle (forgot it’s really a castle town), and they’re attacking them through a gap in the wall, the breach. Me and the teacher emphasised that if there was anything they didn’t understand, that was completely fine and they could ask me at the end. I asked the kids to watch for when I held my fist in the air, which is when they had to cheer loudly, we had a practise at that, and then I did the speech.

Everything I had been scared about evaporated. All the kids were totally engaged, they were all watching me, they all listened right the way through, I saw lots of excited faces, and they all cheered really well at the end.

Afterwards, there was a lot of chatter, several of them asked me questions (”how do you remember all those words?”, “what did you mean when you talked about nostrils?”), one boy asked me to do it again, they were all really lovely and had genuinely enjoyed it. It was so much fun, and they especially loved it when I told them how my big college friends had told me not to do Shakespeare because they wouldn’t like it. Those kids 100% proved them wrong

[TL] BIOHAZARD/Prologue

[ This post uses Ois~su ♪ ]

Season: Winter

Time: Early March in the first year of ES’s establishment

Location: In a underground livehouse, one of UNDEAD’s haunts

Keito: (What is that?)

(What the hell is happening…?)

Rei: 『♪~♪~♪』

Kaoru: 『♪♪♪♪♪』

Koga: 『H！E！L！L！』

Adonis: 『S！I！N！G！』

Koga + Adonis: 『We are 『HELLSING』 ...☆』

Keito: I have no idea what’s going on—

HELLSING…? No matter how I look at it, that’s UNDEAD!

Rei: 『♪~♪~♪』

Kaoru: 『♪♪♪♪♪』

Keito: Oi! Listen up!

I know this isn’t a great time but I need to ask you guys something!

Adonis: —Hey. Oogami, Oogami, Hasumi-senpai is in the stage wings making a racket.

I am not sure how our senpais will react to this, so I think we should deal with him before something bad happens.

Koga: Nah, if somethin’ was gonna happen, it woulda happened by now.

Actually, I don’t want this important live t’be interrupted. Guess we’ll have t’see what he wants.

Oi, shitty glasses— Whaddya want?

Can’t you see we’re in the middle of rehearsal?

Keito: Let me make this clear first of all - I have no intention of interrupting your activities. I’m no longer the vice-president of the Student Council so I have no reason to be supervising the activities of problem children like you.

Koga: God, you fuckin’ know how t’waffle on and on. So why are you here if it’s got nothin’ t’do with us? Random person who looks good in glasses, whaddya want, hmmmm?

Keito: Well I don’t see how that’s relevant. We once donned the same costumes and participated in the same activities, and now we share an agency.

And that is precisely why I, as a representative of RhythmLink, have gone out of my way to come ask you this.

Your recent “peculiar activity” has become troublesome for the agency.

Therefore, I’d like to know what’s happening, UNDEAD.

Firstly-, what is “HELLSING”?

Koga: ...

Keito: Why are you keeping quiet, Oogami?

Can’t you explain it to me? After all, as you quite rightly said, you and I are in different units and are complete strangers who–

Adonis: Please wait a moment, Hasumi-senpai. I don’t think Oogami will be able to explain this very well.

Truthfully, we don’t really know what’s going on ourselves—

Koga: Shut it, Adonis. Yer actin’ like a parent who’s watchin’ their kid run their first errand. Stop addin’ unnecessary shit to the conversation.

Adonis: But, Hasumi-senpai will probably be able to offer useful advice—

Koga: Shut up! He fuckin’ said it himself, he ain’t got nothin’ to do with us anymore!

Now you’re actin’ like your our parents and tryna stick your nose in where it doesn’t belong! Stupid shitty glasses.

Keito: That was never my intention… I’m really– no, I mean, I’m worried about you.

I always end up imposing Oogami with heavy burdens that are my own responsibility.

Koga: Oi, don’t apologise! They told me to take it on, and you told me it was a lot anyway!

…Seriously man, don’t worry ‘bout it. HELLSING is just a different name we, UNDEAD, use on stage.

Recently, the hardcore rock image we use on stage versus the stupid silly image we use on like, variety shows is creatin’ a divert… divertent?

Adonis: A divergence?

Koga: Yeah, that! It’s creating a divergence in terms of how we present ourselves, so we thought that we could just use different names whether we’re on stage or doin’ our regular activities!

It’s like those mangas you fuckin’ love so much. They use different names dependin’ on what they’re doin’.

Keito: Umu… I suppose that’s true, as there are mangaka that operate under different pseudonyms based on if they are working on commercial materials or R-18 material.

Though generally, fans can tell from their art style that it is the same person.

Adonis: I don’t know much about manga but. Think of it as a parent company setting up subsidiaries, where each brand markets different things dependent on what activities they engage in.

Our, so to speak, immoral, radical activities will be handled by HELLSING, and our more friendly and palatable activities handled by UNDEAD.

Only what we do and the name has changed, the members remain the same. Me, Oogami, Sakuma-senpai, and Hakaze-senpai.

Keito: So what’s the point in doing all this…?

Koga: Shut uppp, there’s a ton of reasons. I get you’re a producer ‘n all but why’s it any of your business?

Keito: ...

Koga: …It’s whatever, alright?

This is what I wanted. To be honest, the fans are a little confused but everyone else is pretty happy with it.

I feel like I can actually breathe now I’m not bein’ forced t’do stupid varieties shows ‘n shit like that.

So that means it’s a good thing— all of it is.

I said it’s fine so everyone who says otherwise should shaddup!

Chapter 1

adonis you play animal crossing? who’s your favorite villager

Adonis: The game direction is very good, the characters are very likeable.

// Here's a little Adonis in Animal Crossing doodle!

Thoughts on the UNDEAD climax?

last night at 3 am i got so emotional over adonis' lines where he said that he was "objectively the most useless part of undead" that i couldnt sleep and kept typing long rants to my friends' gc for an hour

positive:

OHH MY GOD THERES SO MUCH POLYUNDEAD FLUFF. kaoru says undead loves rei. i think rei calls adonis cute like 4 times throughout the story. the entire story is just them being sweet together. if i listed all my favorite tiny moments itd be a thousand miles long

Ohhhh all of Rei's monologues make me so emotional. His bloomed CG lines in the final performance... ough

KAORU LIKES IT WHEN KOGA CALLS HIM "PLAYBOY BASTARD" AND THINKS SENPAI SOUNDS TOO STUFFY?

I like seeing Kaoru get pissed off and show off why he's just as rebellious and rockin' as the rest of undead :)

mixed feelings:

i was so excited to see them rebelling against rhylink and i was hoping that the culprit behind the AI would be rhylink -- it would make a lot of sense for the ruthless company who only cares about padding the bottom line to create AI versions of undead (especially since it's also been mentioned in the story that hellsing sells even better than undead). my dream ending would have been undead crashing hellsing's live and revealing rhylink's shady business practices and then telling the audience that no AI can match the real deal and the audience is just "worshipping false idols" (haha you get it. like idols--). the reveal that the AI stuff was just caused by one individual working alone, rather than capitalists that would rather profit off soulless fake idols, is kind of disappointing

so in crossroads rei refused to let himself be used as a pawn of the student council, and then immediately after that rei formed the unit undead to... be used in service of the student council to help subjugate others (the delinquent vampires). and through a dreamlive, no less (the student council's favorite ploy in war era). i think i was just a little surprised

hi does anyone remember that one bapc x enstars piece i drew like a year ago 😁😁 i made a comic based on it, took a break n then completely forgot abt it until today. its not fully rendered but there was such a long period of time between me closing the mdp file n opening it again that i completely forgot what i wanted to add 💀 in any case i hope maybe u guys could enjoy this as much as i enjoyed making this :3

from al jazeera's live reporting of the second day of the ICJ hearings, 12 Jan 2024

both adonis and arashi have white (pure) 5* mv outfits and black (impure) SCR outfits in their center song events. both the Mystic Fragrance song and the Love & Beast drama involve opposing natures / dual personalities symbolized by these white and black outfits — adonis’ character grapples with the innocent inogari and the beast, and mystic fragrance has odile and odette, the white and black swans. both songs are departures from their units’ usual themes — forbidden rain is all about restraint and loving someone so much that you sacrifice this love to keep them safe (more akin to Knights’ themes of knighthood and self-sacrifice), while mystic fragrance is all about casting off the fake layers of yourself, giving into desire, and living as your truest self, even if it’s “selfish” or “impure” (more akin to UNDEAD’s usual songs). both adonis and arashi are transgender. in this essay i will—

they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary
