Changing Destiny (Kancolle)

Huh?

I need to recalibrate my Pervert Sensors. I saw Sara's launch deck in launching position, what it seems a scared
Abyssal Princess, and then Sara launching some kind of harmless fireworks.

You sure we're watching the same strip?
 
What is going on in that strip, anyway? Top image looks like she's standing in front of a christmas tree, middle is... some girl looking like she's in the middle of getting assaulted? I dunno, but half-naked wide wide eyed... and then Sartoga ... shooting I guess? with smile and a laugh. The hell?
Its a parody of the film within a film 'Angels with Even Filthier Souls' from Home Alone 2.

 
Also, I don't think anyone has picked this up yet, but it looks like Schreiber grew up and lived in East Germany during the Cold War, from the mention of the Nationale Volksarmee, the armed forces of the German Democratic Republic, or as we know it as East Germany, marching through his hometown.

Interesting tidbit: Early NVA uniforms were very heavily modelled on Wehrmacht and SS uniforms.

Oh? How about these.


These are Republic of China soldiers during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Before Germany and Japan signed the Tripartite Pact on 27 September 1940, Hitler was supplying equipment and advisors to Chiang Kai-Shek and his Nationals.
Makes me wonder how WW2 would have changed if Japan and Germany hadn't allied.

Hmmmm.

Bare minimum? Suddenly it becomes a lot harder to justify war with Germany. If Germany is supporting China, then they're supporting the theoretical ally that we're trying to support too. And since the average American will be much more interested in fighting Japan, and since Hitler is not an idiot and would likely condemn Japanese aggression* if he chose to support Chiang instead...

No German declaration of war, public opinion more tilted towards revenge for Pearl, a Hitler who is likely to see a chance to keep America out of the war by condeming the Japanese...even a President with as much power as Roosevelt would have issues ending up at war in Europe in that situation. Not to say it wouldn't happen, but still. Assuming Hitler didn't do a dumb and still declare war on America, but I don't see that happening.

*mind you without the Tripartite Pact saying that Germany would support them, the Japanese may take the risk of just going after the European colonies and not attacking Pearl. Hard to say.




Anywho:


Why do I post cutes?

Well, first, because cute.

Second, because someone uploaded all of those bloody meme comics- look in the WSG segment of the 'booru -onto Danbooru, I'm going to be working on another Sara snip tomorrow. Dunno if this or it will be posted first now.

(those comics annoy the hell out of me. Between making Sara into a siscon who molests Lexie because she looks like Lex to constantly making fun of the damage she took or completely ruining her personality...

Yeah. They annoy the Sky.)

They are, like you correctly put it, memes. Stuff made by geeks to get a quick and simple laugh out of fellow geeks. I understand why you're annoyed by them given your deep connection wit Sara, but I would ask that you think about the creators' perspective. They're not setting out to make ultra-accurate history or deep character drama. I'm not saying you have to like them, by all means get annoyed at bad comedy, just please consider the other side.

On the other hand, these are the kind of people who came up with the Glutinous Fiend characterization for Akagi and made it so ubiquitous everything else got drowned out. So I take that first part back, fuck those guys.:V
 
Eh.
The "ruining her personality" shitck is perspective I guess. Since there's not much of a canon foundation to build off of. y.ssanoha probably just sees her personality differently.
....Wait, correction, there is a canon personality for her. Kinda.
And according to her lines, she is a bit of a siscon. I think even her marriage line lampshades it.
 
I think it might just be the poor translation from Chinese to English. It could very well be that Sara just cares for her older sister Lex, but y.ssanoha flanderizes it.
 
I'll be honest.

What bugs me is that Sara is the only one to get this treatment. It's one thing to go FULL MEME with the characters. Whatever.

But it's only Sara who so regularly gets hit by it. Lex/Lexie get caught up in it as collateral, but they aren't subjected to the same stuff. Essex and Enterprise and Yorktown and Hornet don't have it happen to them. Just Sara is turned into a whiny siscon who molests Lexie and is constantly subjected to drydock jokes. And that's both Saras.

Not just WSG.

It gets kinda annoying when it's only done to her.


Anyway, still working on the next chapter. Whenever I've napped to make up for getting entirely too little sleep last night.
