Heckin errors
I seem to be experiencing an absurd amount of errors on DA today.
Not sure if my firefox browser is responsible, but the upload button no longer works and I have to go through stash to submit anything.
Also, "browse popular 8 hours" page is no longer showing things for 8 hours, but instead "popular of all time".
Is there an explanation for this madness?
A billion Soviet Shmeckles/an improbable reference
People sometimes ask if my art was inspired by __________ , but often the answer is that it wasn't, because I've never seen/read ________ (due to me being far more immersed in Soviet novels than American pop culture).
Today I came across yet another fantastic improbability, an obscure/extremely rare Soviet Poster that seems to be exactly like the character "Stealy" out of Rick and Morty.
He's even called "Hapuga", which translates to "Stealy".
Evaluate it for yourself and see how many similarities you can find:
This is a perfect example of people having similar ideas spanning across completely different cultures/time.

So, you want to know how I met my minions? Very well, Zee Captain shall fill you in on the details of that exciting event! Prepare your ears for zee most fabulous story that you have ever heard in your past few lives!
When I was a little girl, I wanted to visit the land where the dreams come true.
One day, I was on a very important mission. Suddenly, the terrific twister sucked my flying machine in. I crashed. Then, I realized that I was somewhere over the rainbow. I had never seen that beautiful place before. It was called Captania – that was what the bony citizens told me. They welcomed me with their open arms, because they saw me as their savior. And they were correct, but unfortunately they already had their own leader. They claimed to be ruled by the Great Wizard, who lived in zee Emerald Castle. So, I decided to go there and fight him to take over the delicious Captania!
But even a toasty Captain like me needed an army to complete that task.
When I was about to follow the yellow line that showed the way to the magic castle, I noticed someone stuck in the broken flying machine. I helped the stranger with green goggles and asked him, what he was doing there. Because he wasn't very smart, he answered that he didn't remember. As the wise Captain, I knew at once that he must be looking for knowledge. And since I happened to be not only wise but also kind-heated, I took him with me. I named him Pilot and made him my very first minion. Soon, the two of us were off to see the Wizard.
Later on, I came across the anther strange stranger. This time, it was a motionless man with blue goggles. He was lying in the snow, and he was probably rusted. I lifted him up and introduced myself. He was as happy as one could be to meet such a magnificent Captain. Seeing that, I understood that he needed a leader to follow and love. I couldn't resist but made him my minion. His name was Snippy and he became my sniper. After that, the three of us were ready for some more adventures.
Meanwhile, the forces of evil found out about our epic quest. The Cyber-Witch, who was supposed to be dead (melted with tea), had returned. She wanted to scare me and make me turn back from my way to greatness. She pierced the sky with fire, but it didn't harm zee Captain. The evil magic was nothing against the Captain's incredible power!
As I was walking through the burning city, I heard a horrible noise. I thought, it was some wild animal. But it was the scream of a weird person with a furry hood. The person was lacking courage and trying to scare off the danger with that noise. I realized, that he would build self-confidence if he only had more fun. I asked him, if he wanted a new job. He applied for it and soon enough I took him in as my third minion. I gave him the code-name “Engie”, and with that my army was finally ready for zee final battle.
What happened next? I'm sure, you never would have guessed.
When we found the Emerald Castle, it turned out that the bony citizens told me nothing but lies. There was no Great Wizard! It was only a cheap trick. My minions were disappointed. The three of them thought, that they had to say goodbye to their dreams of knowledge, love and adventurous life. Oh, how wrong those silly minions were! They forgot that being a part of Captain's army was a lifelong job, which meant many other opportunities to find what they desired. After all, many glorious adventures still waited for them out there.
As for me, I became the new leader of Captania. And I will rule this country happily ever after, because I learned something very important from this whole adventure. There never was a space wizard greater than zee Captain and there will never be one! Zee Captain is simply too awesome!
