I love how batshit insane Ninjago is while also not FEELING batshit insane if that makes sense??

Like, explaining any amount of lore to someone who has not seen the show, will make u look like you are either lying, crazy, or both. But if you are watching the show, it feels very natural and in place for the lore and everything. Which is honestly kinda impressive ngl.

Fr though I have to say one difficult thing about writing undertale fancontent is that due to undertale taking place in the future (Chara canonically fell at some point in the 2010s and it can be assumed undertale takes place a long amount of time after that), you have to try and come up with new technology and stuff for this future world in a way that doesn't just sound really fucking outlandish. Like, what would future society be like? Who would be doing what in the future? Does my undertale fanfiction sound weird if characters regularly use flying hoverboards for no explained reason?

Imagine a post-apocalyptic story where there’s only one person left in the world and they realize Jesus died for them even though they’re the only one left and it’s what gets them through.

I think i cracked it, the reason everything produced in the times of the High Republic is soo good compared to modern Star Wars, tldr its because of pain.

See, in all the works that date during the High Republic (specifically during George's ownership of SW) there's this fearlessness to show pain and tragedy and death, and i know it sounds like "everything for the children these days is sanitized!" but think for a second if Revenge of the Sith would be something Disney would publish these days and that's your answer, but that's just a tangent meant to emphasize the difference between Og SW and new SW, because what Og SW had was strife, and you the viewer knew that, because every time you booted up KOTOR or played Phantom Menace you knew what was coming, you knew to expect the isle of happiness in which the characters lived to slowly sink beneath the waves of tragedy and you'll see it happen as the characters around the story just dug up their own fates, in very much George Lucas fashion, and THAT is what made the work and the small moments of levity to taste so much sweeter, because you see the characters who you've grown attached to suffer so un-justly that when you return to the good times you can't help but appreciate the good and mourn it's departure.

The reason new SW does not achieve this is because the characters are dealing with the aftermath of the destruction of the baddies, its the birth of the hope for the future, its when you look at the horizon at the END of the movie, yes new problems may arise but the big hurdle is done and Disney didn't cultivate the joy from the Alliance's victory as it should, because instead of giving us proper post-war optimism (as it fits the real life post WW2 countries counterparts and fantasy sci-fi proper) it stuck only with the brooding post-war trauma, and while yes, that is also a very realistic take it still lacked verily from the former and thus there is no reason why we should mourn a character's strife if that is all we've seen from them, its like watching paint dry, nothing particularly changes, just a new villain here and there, the new character discovers new powers, new info, but there is no resolution, no reward for their strife, and even if they were going for a bleak post-war future (which they didn't and it also doesn't fit SW's constant theme of hope for a better future) it still ends up looking incomplete for the mere reason that they don't want to shut the book in case they need to milk the cow some more.

My point with all this was not to bash new SW though, my point was to use it as a comparison to highlight how Og SW built itself on a foundation of hope, how it showed us the height before the fall, how it is possible to make Shakespeare in space and leave all of us with broken hearts and looking hopefully into the future.

Welp, that's the end of EW. I'm really sad to see it go, what with most of my favorite characters pretty much guaranteed to be gone and not coming back, but I'm trying to stay positive and if nothing else good gods am I so excited for dual dye channels.

Anyways, I'll be busy writing fanfictions most likely for the next two days, see you when maintenance is done!

Egyptian art + Science Fiction = Futurist egyptian portrait

I like the ancient egyptian art style in 2D and i wanted to recreate it by merging it with Science Fiction. The result is amazing, the characters is looking in front of him but the eyes on the cybernetic head are looking at us the spectator.

The Frozen Past

Set in the year of 2100, Mumbai is one of the busiest cities in India which a young archaeological student discovered within the trench an unusual object which was dated back to the Harappan civilization. Unlike the other relics, this one pulsed with a faint, ethereal glow. Somewhat like any other ordinary young professional; as a rule, she moved it to her hepatitis adviser, on the professional aspect of the ancient Indian civilization and culture.

somehow appears to hide an energy signature beneath the surface”

With the help of advanced holographic apparatus, they demonstrated the same image of the artifact that had been projected on the screen and most complex patterns were observed the intricate ones and movements were seen amongst the symbols. With the assistance of Artificial Intelligence, they set out to unravel the code that had been quiet for too long.

The code, they later understood, was the operational principle of the instrument, an instrument which is capable of taping the energy of the earth and turning it into an unlimited source of power. The Harappans had apparently possessed advanced technology way back then.

Still eager to make the device available to all the people, they formed a work group of scientists, industrial designers, and historians. To their great dissatisfaction, however, they could only study ancient manuscripts, examine the materials of the artifact, and construct the schematics of the device structure.

But the device was more complex than just a scientific wonder. It was emblematic of the greatness of Harappan civilization and demonstrated their remarkable legacy. As they engaged in their activities, they experienced a sense of communion with the primitive culture of people.

my toxic trait is assuming everyone knows the w in transliterations is egyptologically pronounced -u/-oo, and therefore consistently forgetting to romanise the spelling of ancient egyptian words containing it when i make shitposts or stupid references in my stories
