In all seriousness tho, I finally got around to drawing Alina Wilczur! She’s been legally dead for the past nine years, has amnesia and limited mobility in the left side of her body. She was modified with Direwolf genes, is about 190 cm tall and uses she/her pronouns [more lore and angst under the cut]
Me: *goes off the face of the earth for another month and drops this* hello :}
anyways,
She’s an orphan, taken into GT during what I like to call The First Wave of recruitment. This generation of heroes was experimental but when an experiment was successful, the trainee would be turned into a tool of propaganda, becoming a poster child and being used to lure in new trainees, this time also from rich families.
By the time she was nineteen, Alina was suffering from a lot of complications(a lot of safeguards and procedures weren’t around when she was first turned, so it was as a given) and took the narrow chance of escape by faking her death with the help of a gt scientists. She survived, but the poison she ingested to achieve that did a lot of damage, almost permanently paralysing the left side of her body and cutting off almost all of her memories of her past life.
Alina is 28 years old now, living in a safehouse some distance away from Tarabiscoville with her wife! The wife’s name is May and she is the daughter of the person that nursed Alina back to health after the whole poison shtick.
The name “Alina Wilczur” is also a double reference to Polish classic media, a play and a movie. To the two polish people in the chat, can you guess all the layers?
I’ll reveal more lore in later posts, such as the identity of the scientist and her connection to Kore and other characters., but now I didn’t want to make a kilometre long post so here’s that.
Feel free to ask questions and I promise I’m working of The Fall Of Icarus, just having some issues.
Program pierwszy polskiego radia z okazji świąt wypuścił swoją własną, audio-adaptację Znachora!
Serdecznie polecam. Jak zwykle produkcja na najwyższym poziomie, poczynając od świetnego scenariusza, oprawy muzycznej i dźwiękowej budującej niesamowitą atmosferę i na gwiazdorskiej obsadzie kończąc.
Odcinki wychodzą codziennie o 11:00, w eterze i na stronie radia. Dwa już za nami, zostały jeszcze dwa~
Audioserial na podstawie kultowej powieści Tadeusza Dołęgi-Mostowicza to słuchowisko przywracające klimat dawnych opowieści w mistrzowskiej
So one of my Discord friends came with idea to read Znachor (The Quack) and talk about at the end of June.
See, Znachor is more known for its adaptations. Mostly the 1981 one which is often rewatched by Polish people and has some memetic moments. The basic idea is that a reknown surgeon, Rafał Wilczur, is left by his wife (who also took their daughter), he falls into despair and drinks a lot. Because he sustains a head trauma, he loses memory BUT gradually regains some of his medical knowledge and becomes a local healer.
Anyway, as I was reading the first chapter where both the narrator and the characters around talk extensively how awesome of a surgeon Rafał Wliczur is, I've got a stupid-ass idea for a Doctor Strange AU.
And I mean in both as Stephen Strange getting amnesia and becoming a local healer in backwater village and Rafał Wilczur becoming a Sorcerer Supreme.
Hell, maybe even I will connect Marvel with Polish literature/drama more often.
"Zastanów się: Ludzie myślą wciąż o jutrze. Co dzień o jutrze. I tylko o jutrze. Dzięki temu nie dostrzegają takiego drobiazgu jak dzień dzisiejszy. Nie dostrzegają teraźniejszości. Wciąż żyją jutrem, a gdy jutro staje się wreszcie rzeczywistością, gdy zegar przemierzy odpowiednia ilość godzin i przeniesie ich w to jutro, już na nie nie zwracają najmniejszej uwagi. Bo jak wariaci wpatrzeni są w następne jutro. Płyną koło nich zdarzenia,przewalają się sprawy, coś się dzieje. Oni tego nie mogą widzieć, nie widzą, nie potrafią skupić na tym uwagi, bo cała ich uwaga skoncentrowana jest na przyszłości. Gdybym pisał monografię naszych czasów, dałbym jej tytuł: ”Ludzie bez teraźniejszości”
