imo mononoke handles "guns in fantasy" really well

it’s because monoke takes direct inspiration from real history! just like where i mentioned GoT does it well because the author didn’t invent much. mononoke, despite being a fantasy setting is really rooted in actual japanese history, around the 16th century where japan started making guns. Compare Lady Eboshi with a drawing of tanegashima guns

it isn’t only guns, the movie doesn’t try to hide it’s inspiration from history, like Ashitaka (I think thats his name?) being from the Ebishi people as they were dissapearing. It’s not explicit either as in that’s not the focus of the movie to teach history but I believe japanese people and people who know about history of Japan would catch it immediatly :0

"#corn industry/farming was a research topic of mine in the past" personally or for academia? because either one of those would have an interesting story behind it

I started it for academia, as part of a college application essay thing that was partially personal interest, but then I realized I can literally shit the easiest turd ever out and when I submitted my no effort paper, I got extremely positive reviews from the college and I just sidelined the corn paper for later. Never finished it though

chen my manga boy have you read the nausicaa manga. what are your thoughts on early miyazaki

i’ve been meaning to read the manga for quite a while now, i just never got around to it. i’ll read it now though since i was just gonna lay in bed and stare at the ceiling for a few hours, but what i can say about it now is that i definitely appreciate most of the designs i’ve been shown from it, always enjoy stuff that comes from real world study as opposed to stuff inspired by other fiction (not that there’s any demerit to the latter it just tends to feel more derivative)

I haven’t read too much Miyazaki manga in general either, just the SUPER early stuff like Sabaku no Tami (while looking this up to make sure I got the name right, saw that it’s apparently a proto-Nausicaa) which is interesting considering its overall dark tones next to his later works, I think he used to be a lot more focused on his grievances with human malice (and airplanes! nearly all of his manga involves planes in some sense!) but has diversified since

Also haven’t watched most Ghibli anime, only what people have really pushed to watch together with me. I don’t really make a habit of watching that much anime

50: top 3 web-pages?

i liked hardcoregaming101 before the site redesign, haven’t visited much since so i can’t speak much about the quality of their articles now

other than that, i guess rpgcodex and twitter? twitter for cool unknown japanese art stuff

55: how is your hair?

fluffy and soft as usual, i’ve been losing a somewhat worrying amount over the past several months though, i assume that’s just all the stress of gay shit that’s been happening to me

3: what do you think of when you hear the word “meow?”

already answered, i think of a cat, what else would i think?

1. Do you prefer traditional drawing, or digital?

digital, i like playing around with different things though scribbling around on trad with a pen is fun too

7. How often do you use references? 

hardly ever, it’s an actual issue i forgot about

20. What is the easiest thing for you to draw?

i think that’s easy to guess, but it’s just boring anime busts
