Alright, I think this is my last Assembly Required post for today.
Announcing Filibus, The Mysterious Air Pirate.
Filibus is a hand made action figure, based on the 1915 film Filibus. They are a genderfluid airship captain, and the star of my serial magazine The Mysterious Air Pirates.
These are the first batch of our Deluxe Full-color edition figures. They're hand painted.
Future editions will probably involve paint masks, but I didn't have time to do it fast so I had to take the time to do it slow.
There are currently 5 of this Deluxe Edition Filibus Action Figure, along with about two dozen of a show exclusive variant. They will be available this weekend at Assembly Required in Asheville, NC.
After Assembly Required, a second hand painted batch will be available for fedifolk sometime in Feb, and another different edition will be available in March.

What would the opposite of a HOA be called?
If it were the voting council of an anarcho-syndicalist co-op? An organization with no leaders that actually accomplishes things locally, voted on my said Sky Pirate co-op shareholders with a consensus model?

I have attached some photos.

So #skyPirates and #JupitersGhost get video games.
I have a skypirates game in the works already, but it's big and ambitious and I'm working it up in renPy so I don't know what kind of physical release it'll get (CD-ROM?) I'm going to keep plugging away on it, but it'll probably take a while.

Oh, one last thing before I hit the sack.
If you want to watch #filibus, it's up on wikimedia commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Filibus_1915.webm
I recommend against re-releasing or remixing the above copy if you're worried about copyright infringement, as that one uses a new translation and new inter-titles which are probably under copyright. The original english titles are lost, afaik.
I'm working on a new new translation ( https://communitymedia.video/w/nYaqWnn34d57auvQeSE6TY ) with cc-by-sa intertitles and a new score, but it isn't ready yet.
That's one of the projects I want to pick back up in the near future.
Regardless, #filibus is a #feminist #skypirate film full of #airship shenanigans and #queer #romance #revolutionaryJoy. It's also 100 years old, and it was the inspiration for our #skypirates playset.
-
ALRIGHT!
HERE WE GO!
We're making action figures! and we're mostly using recycled plastics!
Here's the first release candidate of a #Skypirate action figure for our #Skypirates Playset which we're building for #assemblyRequired, which is Feb 1st and 2nd (leaving in 5 days!!.)
-
Hey! I want to get an artist to draw some of our #skypirate characters. I'll give you some money!
Are you an artist that wants to draw our #skypirates in exchange for money?
-
I'm working on some posters for our #skypirates for #assemblyRequired
Here are some posters, tell me what you think!
The first is inspired by futurist art, because it was the futurist anarchists that everyone assumed would take control of the air in the 1910s (They didn't, WWI happened and the futurists mostly became fascists, and they mostly sucked shit, but some of their art style was interesting and the Russian constructivists and Russian Futurists took up their style and made it in to something much cooler, and that's where I'm drawing this inspiration.)
The second is Fred the Baker as a sky pirate.

Alright, talking about #revolutionaryJoy and #skypirates has me back at #filibus and maybe #gbstudio (sorry for all the hashtags, I want to find this later and I'm too stubborn to install elastisearch.)
I've been toying around with the idea of making a Skypirates video game.
I have some ideas and I keep coming back to a couple of different styles but what I really don't have is the time to develop a game right now.
So
This is what I'm thinking:
- I'm going to write the outline for a Skypirates visual novel
- I'm going to come up with a list of characters, poses, and backgrounds (for graphics, which I am no good at, so I'll have to commission them)
- I'll either whack it up in renpy or find a collaborator or a contract to build the thing. -
Most of the toys we're making right now are #skypirates
Why Sky pirates?
Because Sky Pirates are full of revolutionary joy!
In the 1910s and in to the 1920s, in the build up of to and the wake of the first world war, the air was full of revolutionary energy. Anarchists and socialists were tossing bombs and setting fires. Against that backdrop, man was heading for the skies.
From Zeppelins to The Wright Flyer, everyone was racing in to the skies.
And those two ideas got mixed up in people's heads. Suddenly literature and film were full of stories of anarchists bombing from zeppelins, of Great Men flying to Mars in their blimps.

There's a third #skypirate film in this proto- #steampunk trilogy called The Arial Anarchists, but it has been lost for around 100 years.
It's based on a book, though. The book is called Hartmann, the Anarchist; Or, The Doom of the Great City by E. Douglas Fawcett
That's on PG and Librevox. I haven't read it. I might not ever read it. Who knows?
But if you wanted to watch a 115 year old science fiction film about sky pirates... well, go watch The Pirates of 1920, it's a much better movie than The Airship Destroyer.
But if you wanted to watch a Second 115 year old film about #skypirates... Go watch The Aerial Submarine, it's a much better film than The Airship Destroyer.
But if you wanted to watch a THIRD 115 year old film about #airship pirates... well, The Airship Destroyer is now available.
