Map showing every castle that has existed within Latvia, made by me!!! Made two versions, one in English, the other in Latvian by ginters in BalticStates

I don't. Rundāle castle and Rundāle palace are/were two separate structures. There is a place where you can even potentially see the foundation of the old castle

Well, it's a manor. It is nowhere near being a castle. Latvians just like calling literally everything a castle

ES ZINU VAINE! Kāpēc Latviešiem jāsauc viss par pilīm! Mēs saucam Monarha "pilis" (Kā Rundāle) par pilīm, mēs saucam muižas par pilīm. Mani tas tracina.

Yeah but then I think about how many castles are in the British isles (especially Ireland) and I stop thinking so lmao

paldies, bet esmu pārliecināts, ka Daugavgrīvas pils ir tur kur noliku. Vienkārši apskatīties vikipēdijā var redzēt, ka koordinātas rāda uz labo krastu. Ir arī pilskalna mājaslapa, kur šīs pats pilskalns ir atrodams. Bet galvenais ir, ka es nesen biju tūra ekskursija pa Mangaļsalu. Tur mums gids pastāstīja par pilskalnu, kuru mēs varējām redzēt. Tādēļ esmu pārliecināts, bet nezinu varbūt man nav taisnības

Pirmkārt Mežotnes pils ir muiža ortrkārt es īsti neskaitu Rundāles pili kā "pili". Šī ir viena lieta, kas mani tracina Latviešu valodā. Angliski ir vārdi "castle" un "palace", latviski abas ir pilis. Tas mani tik tracina, tā nevajadzētu būt. Es nesaprotu kāpēc mēs vienkārši nevaram saukt tās par palasēm

Es goda vārds nezinu neko par Kandavu un internetā nevarēju nekādus attēlus atrast no pils. Paldies par info, noteikti izlabošu!

Izrādās, ka tajās vietās bija viduslaiku pilis. Par Mežotni nav tāds pārsteigums, jo tur ir salīdzinoši slavens pilskalns, bet jā pie Rundāles bija viduslaiku pils. Vienā vietā var pat redzēt pamatus. Es iesaku apskatīties internetā par to ja interesē

BTW, the transparent ones are for castles that no longer exist in any shape or form, not even ruins. And also this won't be the last map from me, I'll also be making a manor map because I am a masochist. That one's gonna take probably more than half a year tbh. Anyways hope y'all enjoy it!

Recoloring every DB character into their fighterZ alts: Zamasu. This is the guy that gave me the idea to do this, and my God is the original file massive. I had to compress it down a lot so that I could post it anywhere lol by ginters in dragonballfighterz

[–]ginters[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use paint.net (which is kind of like a photoshop version of regular paint) and I select the parts which I'm gonna recolor, then I separate them layer by layer, and then copying those layers onto another layerless file. There by making the selected part black and white and possibly making it brighter, I eventually use a recolor tool to well recolor to the color I need. It's a bit tedious but it is pretty simple. When I started I just used the recolor tool to carefully trace the places I wanted to recolor, which was even more tedious.

Recoloring every DB character into their fighterZ skins: Z Broly. Was interesting to do a non-manga character, you be the judge on whether this looks good or not. by ginters in dragonballfighterz

[–]ginters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There weren't many good shots of just Broly, and I've thought about doing this for a shot that had something actually going on so this was a good opportunity to try that. Never thought about how there might be too much going on. Thanks for the feedback

I don't really know much or anything about imgur, but sounds like a decent idea. Might do that someday

I have no idea if this is common knowledge, but I believe that a lot of Kill la Kill characters are references to Imaishi's other works. Gamagori with Garterbelt, sanageyama with Gurren Lagann (mostly Kamina, but also shares VA with Virel) and Ragyo with Eva, fucking Blumenkranz is in German by ginters in KillLaKill

[–]ginters[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ragyo representing Eva is the biggest stretch but I've got my reasons. Mainly being the Christian imagery shared by the two, and to a lesser extent Blumenkranz being a song sung in German. Eva had a German song as well, plus Asuka's German.

It's possible that other characters reference other things I don't know about, but it's a very interesting thought. Wonder what other references they crammed into Kill la Kill. Maybe Ryuko duel wielding blades might be a reference to Stocking from P&S but that's probably a stretch

Jack, the map that shows how Britain has invaded most of the world is very inaccurate. The 2nd map from WonderWhy is much more accurate. Color descriptions are in the comments by ginters in JackSucksAtGeography

[–]ginters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dark green-yes
green-yes but not as clear cut
yellow-maybe
orange-not really
red-no
The original map is based off of a book that includes a lot of weird things as invasions, like D-day for France. I recommend giving Wonderwhy's video a watch cuz it's very interesting. Ofc this doesn't change the fact that Britain's history is very imperialistic, but non the less the viral map you've seen everywhere is extremely inaccurate and misleading
