kradeelav: Alucard, Hellsing (villainspace II)
[personal profile] kradeelav
call me krad.
I'm an old web meatbag that's most known for drawing villains on my main handle and in general being the one usually yelling 'fuck authority' literally, conceptually, and knowingly. I made this DW as a container to separate 'actual self' from 'artist persona' cleanly and have strong feelings on the topic.

also into:
villains. monsters. cathartic art that hits your id like a jackhammer, fellow kinksters + history , mil-hist (psyops, science of interrogation, mercenaries, etc). long-standing interests that aren't manufactured for attention's sake. experiential-ly creative side of fandom with a side of the sordid. zinesters. ships with deliciously fucked up power dynamics, sakuga, hacker shit, catharsis from those who never quite felt human. villains, again.

may or may not roll around increasingly rare fandoms (Hellsing, SW:EU, FE 9/10/16).

other frequent post topics found on here...
various liveblogs of media usually older than 2005, corporate ladder-climbing shit, magpie-ing links from the more interesting corners of the internet, guns. catharsis as a concept. if you need content warnings for anything mentioned here you're probably not going to want to follow.

Anything else you need to know about me...
this journal is selectively public depending on topic / how long I've recognized you, and If we've interacted more than twice positively there's a high chance I'll add you to the general private list. you may have remembered me from tumblr days but I'm not likely to go back to social media at this point.

Hello, good to meet you! I'm not really into similar fandoms, but I *do* appreciate some good villains/monsters and catharsis from wanting to feel human but never quite getting there. :D (and filthy art is always a good for the world, yeah?)

A pleasure to meet you!! Deliciously fucked up power dynamics are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, and one of my favorite things as well, and absolutely adore villains too.
Thrilled to see someone who does a lot of Quality Hellsing Content, and I adore your stuff with it!! My first ever cosplay was from Hellsing (Jan), and it still has a special place in my heart.

Hellsing? A Hellsing fan? Can it be? Tell me there are more — I'm a transplant from Tumblr, and the fandom there is miserable. You would think it's utterly impervious to antis given its... well, everything... alas.

Also, sick art. Bookmarking Iron Crown to binge later.

Hi! I hope you don't mind the add.

I'm a mortician-turned-tattoo artist who writes a lot about the paranormal, handyman stuff, my boyfriend and dog... I also draw quite a bit (obviously). I do like villain fucking and reading about people's characters and stories, as well as queer history and kink-oriented stuff.

I remember Hellsing ... I loved it in middle school. I had so many (mental) fanfictions about Alucard. Takes me back! I was a pretty big fan of Schrodinger, and Pip as well. I kind of miss that edgy 2000s stuff.

Most of my stuff is public if you'd like to fancy a look around my journal to see what I'm about.

To be honest, I look up random tags and see people who are more active, then see comments, and look at the people attached to them... Which does sound like an unorthodox method of meeting people tbh. I promise I'm not crazy! I just like seeing people with hobbies different than my own, and I saw you were an artist and villain-fucker so I thought why not.

Hellsing is just FUN. I agree with that -- The sanitization of media, especially on social media where it must be without flaws, where it must be as PC as possible, et cetera. The first thing that comes to mind is Tumblr's death grip on Steven Universe. And when they remade the Grinch movie, and he was no longer shitty and mean but misunderstood. Not everyone needs a redemption arc imo... Can't we just have nuanced people?! Can't people just be slimy or have questionable morals?

I really enjoy how open DW is to everything. There's hobbies I don't have time to pursue, or just am not interested in, but I'm enjoying hearing about them. I think it creates a better worldview -- I am annoyingly against getting in a social media echo chamber / bubble, because I WAS in one of them once upon a time, and it is very damaging to your hobbies, worldview, critical thinking skills and ... brain. lol. I like seeing the varieties of people around here.

True! I don't think Hellsing could ever be remade for a variety of reasons, but mostly... ppl would get pissed because there are Nazi characters who are faceted. Like the Major! He has charm! He has wit! He is also a nazi, unfortunately!
I remember Jojo Rabbit, I saw it when it came out and it had sympathetic nazis (like a gay ish one) and when people talked about it they HAD to yell that "First of all, I don't like nazis, I do not condone them, BUT i like X about Y character"... Like JFC people we know Nazis are bad, there's no need to virtue signal before you discuss a character. Like I like Schrodinger, does that make me a Nazi sympathizer? Woof.

I get kinda heated about that stuff admittedly. I'm anti-censorship like you, pro-leave-people-alone, so that kind of sanitation of media in an attempt to make it palatable grinds my gears. Thinking about it ... I can't think of any older anime that wouldn't get cancelled, actually...

I used to be on Tumblr (I'm only on it now to collect images I like for references) and it was a damn witch hunt every day there, and even worse on Twitter. Someone apparently recently said Spongebob's victory screech is racist to Native Americans ... Sigh... They're going to cannibalize each other ad nauseum until theyre an ouroboros.

I have some characters I draw (you might have seen them on my page, I have most of my art under access only shit), one of which is unhealthily obsessed with the other and they smack each other around a lot and it's not a good relationship. That doesn't mean I support abusive relationships -- But on Twitter or Tumblr or WUTEVA that means I am an abuse sympathizer T_T Can't people just be bad sometimes?! Does everything have to be a paragon of virtue?

Haha. I'm obviously venting. I think things are too sanitized and in this puritanical shit we have lost a lot of grit and flavor in media. Grumble grumble! Anyways! I really look forward to your posts and any art you post up! I love the hellsing stuff you did, it really captures how slimy Alucard is haha

Long time fan of your Hellsing art in particular but what I've seen of you as a person is equally awesome. You talk on a lot of subjects I frequent so I'm glad to have a place to keep up with you, so to speak. Big thanks for your leather resources you posted on Twitter!
