it was captured during WW2 by US soldiers and it’s the only onw of it’s kind, so basically one japanese officer had this custom made because he was an anime protagonist or a videogame boss or something.
HOLY SHIT WHAT HAPPENED? I LITERALLY THOUGHT LIKE 5 PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW ME WOULD CARE.
Yes, I’m finishing it now.
Reblogging with the finished piece. https://www.redbubble.com/people/creepygirlclub/shop?asc=u It’s on redbubble if you REALLY WANT stuff with this horrible unicorn baphomet on it. I did a version with nipples too but I haven’t put those on redbubble yet because IDK how I feel about unicorn nipples.
I’m no longer holding Star Trek or Star Wars “accountable” for their clunky-looking sixties-and-seventies future technology.
Why?
Because the Enterprise is off on a years-long voyage through space. There’s no Verizon store, no Radio Shack, no Geek Squad out there. If the Klingons fire photon torpedoes and the bridge shakes and Spock’s head bangs against the fancy iPad72 touchscreen and cracks the glass, the ship’s toast. If Han Solo’s fingerprints get all over the starchart and the touch-calibration is off by half a centimeter, the Falcon is going right into a star. But if Mister Worf accidentally twists the command knob too hard and pops it off, he can just screw that thing right back on and it will keep working. Dust gets in there? Take it apart and clean it out. All the plugs are big and universal, all the power cells are functional and have a decent battery life, and nothing is built to expire in the next six months so you have to buy a new one.
That tech isn’t anachronistic or suffering a bad case of Zeerust–it’s practical, effective, and it works. Apple tried launching its own space exploration craft, it had to come back for full repairs within three months, and then it had to be upgraded over the next two.
But this? This is just good, long-lasting, fully-functional, and reliable craftsmanship.
