The fruit was unlike anything she’d ever tasted—red, sweet, alien fruit. Pulling it away she stared into it. It had no seed. None she could see at least, the fiberous, gooey insides wrapped around a hollow nest of deep red. Her middle finger traced the spot where it should be, scared for the smallest instant that she’d just taken it into her mouth without knowing and swallowed it whole.

Bahro chuckled. “There’s no seed.” She looked at him, still cradling the fruit. “The niedostepny is the seed in all our fruits, so when we pluck it, it leaves a crater.”

It was so strange. She could begin to imagine something so vital to a planet that it grew every plant, every tree, every vegetable and fruit.

“It can grow no other trees then,” she assumed, voice distant. “No other fruits.”

“The niedostepny provides without.”

“Has there ever been a seed?”

“No.”

“Would you plant it if there was?” she asked, genuine, though Bahro cocked a brow at the question. “Would it be sacrilege?”

Her words hung there, unbothered, unquestioned—but the question was there. What would a seed make? What would the niedostepny be when made physical?

A little world building for the planet of Sidereus...

Post-Riven Ideas

Been thinking about what kinds of games I'd like to see from Cyan after Riven's launch in a week. Cyan mentioned at Mysterium that they'd like to make smaller more experimental games in the Myst universe partially to revive the franchise but also to avoid too much financial risk. For instance Firmament had a rough launch and stretched the company thin and many of the devs I spoke to mentioned their frustration with the project and the backlash it received. What was also mentioned to me was Cyan's interest in rekindling the magic of the early Myst games in the same way Star Wars: Andor did recently for Star Wars.

They also mentioned that a smaller more Myst-sized game or even smaller would be much less of a financial risk compared to say a massive sprawling epic like Firmament. Some ideas that were tossed around at Mysterium were: Pre-Fall D'ni Post-Fall D'ni A stylized Myst game A Myst horror game Anything involving new characters and time periods A Myst dating sim (not joking)

Here are some of the ideas I'm interested in:

A game about Veovis and his downfall featuring Anna and Aitrus. Set on K'veer and maybe some small ages. Could be either post-Fall or pre-Fall. It would allow us to explore the whole island and read his journals and explore his personal rooms and inspect his belongings. If set pre-Fall we could interact with him as a character along with Ti'ana and Aitrus and uncover his dark plot right on the eve of the Fall while delving into his not-so-subtle romantic love-triangle with the other main characters. The point is it would allow us to finally explore K'veer in its entirety. Bonus would be also remnants of Gehn's stay on the island if set post-Fall.

A game set on Releeshahn centered around Marrim. This would take place after Revelation but before Uru, roughly sometime in the mid to late 1800s. A new cast of characters with occasional Atrus and Yeesha cameos but ultimately centered around Marrim and her uncovering of the secrets of Releeshahn. Book of Marrim would be the tie-in novel for this game. This might be a bigger project since it would be set on Releeshahn and might require several years of dev time so maybe not the first thing Cyan focuses on after Riven but I know its a story Rand and RAWA had planned for a long while.

Garternay and the Exodus or alternately the origins of the Art. This could be a weird one and possibly unlikely one but it could be a really deep dive into the story of Ri'neref and the founding of D'ni or alternately the origins of the Art and how the bahro were enslaved. Did the bahro create the Art initially? How was the tablet made? Etc. I know Robyn Miller has a whole design document for a TV show pitch he did a few years back that would have focused on Garternay and from what was posted on his site and twitter we can see that Garternay was most-likely a barren scorched age in the final days of its red giant sun. There's a lot we could delve into here. We also know that Gehn's timepiece likely shows the planetary map of Garternay possibly before its sun went red giant, although this is something Gehn was told when gifted the timepiece so it's not 100% verifiable. In any case Garternay could be an interesting left field game to produce but I honestly doubt Cyan would reveal that much. Maybe if Robyn is involved.

D'ni Renaissance era. New D'ni character drama set at the height of D'ni civilization. This could be smaller game set during the height of the era of Kings during the reigns of Rakeri or Kedri or maybe one of the bad kings like Tejara or Ti'amel. I'd like to see another heavy character driven narrative but set in this peak period of D'ni civilization. Maybe the story of an exiled Writers Guild Master who's been framed for murder wanting to reconcile with his best friend who now wants revenge etc. I'd like to see more human stories about people in this universe and their personal and interpersonal struggles a la Myst/Riven/Exile with a clear goal in the game to resolve these issues.

Ok but I do really want a D'ni dating sim where you get to romance Veovis and maybe some other D'ni guild master hotties >:)

Schloss Einstein Rewatch Folge 45 - 47

Die Ohrfeige von Olivers Vater hab ich in der letzten Folge irgendwie gar nicht richtig registriert 😳 total verständlich, dass Oliver da erstmal abhaut und seinem Vater damit auch Grenzen aufzeigt. Und als Olivers Vater spät Abends im Internat auftaucht, ist Stollberg schon wieder noch da. Langsam könnte ich mir vorstellen, dass er ähnlich wie Pasulke eine Wohnung auf dem Schlossgelände hat.

Am nächsten Morgen versucht Olivers Vater sein unmögliches Verhalten mit "du kennst mich ja" und "du bist auch ein bisschen zu weit gegangen" zu entschuldigen?? Das kann der doch kaum erst meinen 💀

Oliver tut das einzig richtige und will sich distanzieren und dann kommt Stollberg auch noch "du solltest überlegen, ob du deinem Vater unrecht tust" und auch Nadine's Mutter "vielleicht hat Oliver in der Wut auf seinen Vater auch übertrieben" aaaarg, das mich so wütend gerade, warum verteidigen die anderen Erwachsenen auch noch eine Ohrfeige 😡 Mary Sue Nadine bringt seinen Vater dann doch dazu, dass Oliver aufs Internat darf, immerhin. Aber später dann auch noch die endgültige Trennung von seinen Eltern, puh, Oliver tut mir echt leid 🫂

Hat Ira wirklich einen Zettel mit ihrer Adresse/ Visitenkarte dabei, um ihm Julian auf dem Konzert zu zustecken? Musste auch kurz lachen als Antje Gil (Ofarim) und Oli P. rät, auf Iras Tipp, dass der "süßeste Typ von der ganzen Welt" sie geküsst hat 😂 (habe erstmal nach Bildern von 1998 von denen gesucht und bei Oli P hätte ich Antje vermutlich mit 13 auch zugestimmt 😂)

Warum macht Wolfert Nadine denn nur wegen der Uta so runter? 😟 So cool, wie Tom und Vera dann das Allgemeinwissensquiz mit Wissen aus der Uta planen. Die Tom und Vera Friendship holt mich einfach ab, da wird sogar die Story um das entlaufene Kaninchen erträglich ♥️😂

(Kleine Side-Note: Wolfert erwähnt die "Entdeckung Amerikas" - das ist kein besonders kultursensibles Wording für einen Historiker 🫠 aber das ist Thema für einen anderen Tag)

Arno wird einfach von Wolfgang Bahro (Jo Gerner aus GZSZ) gespielt 😮 ich glaube, die Sets von SE und GZSZ waren in Babelsberg ja wirklich nebeneinander - haben die einfach kurz bei den Nachbarn gefragt, wer in seiner Drehpause kurz Zeit hat einen unsympathischen Popstar zu spielen? 😂

Modenschau: "Rechts Links Wechselschritt Dreh Dreh Dreh" zu Techno, warum waren Schulaufführungen halt früher wirklich so? 🫣

Die Wanddeko in der Anwaltskanzlei von Nadine's Mutter musste ich einfach festhalten, weil das einfach genau die moderne Ästhetik um die Jahrtausendwende war und einem heute so schräg vorkommt ���

Die Perversion des neuen Zeitalters

Manova: »Der 9. November 1989 hat sich als Tag des Mauerfalls weltweit ins kollektive Gedächtnis eingebrannt. Dass Rudolf Bahro, der ostdeutsche Dissident, Philosoph und Schriftsteller, an diesem Tag das Vorwort zu einem besonderen Werk der Auseinandersetzung mit deutschem Geist und Ungeist schrieb, hat einen eigentümlichen Zauber. Denn man kann und muss Bahro zu den geistigen Wegbereitern einer sinnvollen Umgestaltung der ostdeutschen wie der westdeutschen Verhältnisse zählen. Sein Anspruch, „das Ganze“ spirituell wie sozialökonomisch, kulturell und politisch zu denken, blieb bis zu seinem Tode ungebrochen. Die deutsche Wiedervereinigung, die uns nach wie vor in Atem hält, war dann zwar nicht oder nur zu einem sehr geringen Teil in seinem Sinne, aber in ihrem emanzipatorischen und heilenden Charakter auch Ergebnis seiner Bemühungen. Nun jährt sich die Abfassung seines nach wie vor lesenswerten Vorwortes zum 35. Mal, und die Erstausgabe der Schrift von 1990, von der hier die Rede ist, erfährt eine Neuauflage in der edition dionysos. http://dlvr.it/TG3CRj «

A love note

Updated Myst shelf! This time featuring my piece of Black Ships fabric (that might need ironing...), a painting of Relto that was gifted to me forever ago & I forgot I had for a while lol, 3 of 4 enamel pins (not sure where the 4th disappeared to...), and a pair of books I made- one inspired by Riven, the other by Kadish Tolesa.

Psst:

It smokes

OC in 15 Tag Game

thank you for the tag @spideronthesun

this was so fun to do--especially for Bahro (though I did include dialogue tags/action lines). Altars in the Sky is still unfinished, and Bahro isn't a main character yet, but i adore him. sooooo, without further adieu--15 lines of dialogue that showcase the personality of Bahro Vestre best >:)

“Alone, I cannot win,” Bahro admitted. He pointed his claw blade at Heather’s throat. “But a vestre never enters a war without its pack."

“Whoever you’re talking about,” he reminded her. “She ties us together. She’ll be a part of both of us. Someway, I’ll never be without you.”

“From when he was a toddler.” Bahro grit his teeth. “You and Clairwyn have placed the wellbeing of our empire in the hands of a creature with one foot in the pew and the other in a madhouse.”

He admitted nothing important. “I would be too possessive, wouldn’t I?” 

He argued, “She is not our young.” Bahro could feel his anxiety prickling within his chest. Soon, Raivun would intervene. “The Niedostepny will provide if it must.”

“Half a foot further than nearly,” he admitted. “We’re a little closer to almost. But it would be blasphemy to say myself or my saints are the same likes of gods.”

“Because I want you to see more of the snow,” he admitted. “They won’t let you stay on Sidereus much longer. I wanted you to see my home before they make you see worse.”

“I’ve let so many children die,” he whispered against her sternum. “So much blood, Heather... So much blood.”

“I wish I could make you happy here. I don’t think you were meant to be without the sun though.”

“Heather thinks you are good. Even if you are so cruel, and so disquieting. She thinks we’re all good, and I hate it—because I cannot believe her still. I love her. Hours of endless night spent at her side, teaching her about Sidereus, watching her read me like her native language, and I have fallen in love with her.”

“She’s the first thing in milennia that I want for myself. Everything else, I have given up for you, and Lohvy. My faith, my home, my hope, my freedom. All I wanted was Heather.” He laughed. “And I lost her too—because I lose everything. Except for you and Lohvy, but you two could lose me if duty demanded it. Yet I still can’t hate you for anything. You’re my family, and I take your blows like hugs.”

“Down her,” Bahro went on. “In the foot, her leg. Just make sure she can’t make the jump.” 

“There’s no power in a name. Not for the divine.”

“I'm not a Saint, Marzanna. Nor am I a priest. The only faith I have left lies in you and Lohvy. You are my guiding light. You are my religion--and you are my sister. For you, I would do anything.” 

"Quinn, if you let Kraigyn come back and take her again--I'll fucking kill him. I don't give a shit that you're her Soul Guardian. I will kill Kraigyn, prophet or not."

I'm gonna tag: @xxxtosoxxx @wintherlywords @cowboybrunch @thegrievingyoung and open tag for any and all who have an OC they wanna post about!

Picture of Yeesha and Bahro trying to communicate esaelp.

my first thought was that video of the girl describing how to draw a flower, trying to teach two cats who are totally enthralled and patiently sitting in little plastic chairs, and i had to recreate it but with this prompt in mind LOL
