#dream atlantis possession

[dedkake]

been thinking too much about how good the team's doppelganger nightmares are!!!

teyla

i actually think teyla's nightmare is the most interesting because it is so packed full of things.

we're back to teyla before the expedition meets her. back on athos. and john is there. in her pre-john space. he's not supposed to be there. he's invading that space.

ronon assumes she and john are on a date and doesn't believe her when she says they're not. a fear of people misinterpreting her relationships AND a fear of not being believed, even by her friends.

rodney showing up and talking about strange readings. teyla's always doing her best to understand science and earth stuff, but she must fear being on the back foot in these areas. also she has a healthy fear of when rodney is afraid.

john starts menacing her and being intimidating, and later bugjohn is there and attacking her. she has some residual fear of the incident in the gym where pre-bug!john attacked and kissed her for sure. but also she has some fear that she can't trust john. that john will hurt and betray her.

john intimidates her by picking at another fear--that people don't trust her. that the atlantis crew doesn't trust her. and that they never have. (please see: season 1 and bates etc)

john specifically points out her connection to the wraith and the wraith queen and the fact that she's been contaminated by that connection, something she has feared since learning of her connection with the wraith.

then there is wraith culling happening outside. her people are being hurt. her father is dying again. she's trapped in the tent and can do nothing to help them. and she is also going to be killed by the wraith because

iratus john is going to feed on her.

also this is all very chaotic and overlapping and disorganized and she can't really keep up with it all.

it's just So Layered!!!

ronon

ronon's dream comes in stages and they're all So Good. first, he's on atlantis, but he's alone. everyone is gone, and he doesn't know why. they've abandoned him or they've been killed and both of those options are just as bad as the other because he's alone. ronon has a such a hard time trusting that he has a home and community and stability on atlantis and here it is. gone. he's been abandoned or he's the only survivor (again).

then he's running again. another fear. alone on a planet he doesn't know with nothing but his body and his instinct to survive. back where he was before meeting the atlantis crew.

and finally he meets john. who he's immediately relieved to see, because he trusts john. despite everything that's happened, john's given him that home and community and stability he has such a hard time trusting. john's the linchpin of it all for him. and then john betrays him. (and this coupled with the long goodbye time where possessed john gets ronon shot and leaves him after tricking him into trusting him aaaaahhh)

and he gets buried alive. something even ronon can't fight his way out of.

rodney

there are a few things happening simultaneously in rodney's nightmare. 1: he is physically uncomfortable. he's sitting in the rain with the wrong gear. it is cold and wet and gross. 2. he is alone. he's been removed from his home and his team. 3. he has an impossible physical task. he has to row a boat back to atlantis. away from the big scary whale that's probably going to eat him. rowing a boat isn't easy, even on calm waters. and the ocean is not that. and physical fitness is not rodney's forte. and it's not something he can use his brain to fix. 4: john is sitting there insulting him. someone he trusts--someone who's supposed to be helping him (which is especially bad because it's different than he expected. it's against the plan.)--is just sitting there watching him struggle and telling him he's not good enough. because rodney is good at solving problems, but physical discomfort and brute strength problems are not the problems he's good at solving.

and then a big scary whale eats him. he's not equipped to solve any of these problems. nature is out of his control actually.

later, when he's armed with the right science and the right knowledge, he has no problem and no fear entering john's nightmare. he challenges doppeljohn head on. fierce as can be. because this is now a problem he can solve.

john

i've posted about this before. but there are just so many little layers in his short pre- fistfight scenes. rodney's death is only the tip of the iceberg for him. rodney dies--and it's john's fault. he was on a mission trying to save a teammate and he failed. again.

and then THEN the whole team confront him about it in the hallway. and they all blame him. he can't get words out in response, even though he tries because they're right. failing one of them meant failing all of them. the team are angry about his failure and his relationships with them are about to be ruined.

and then sam, his boss, comes at him to tell him he's compromised by this and he's losing his job because of it too. his fear is not just losing rodney, it's losing everything because of his own failure.

it's just one mistake that sends his whole life into free fall.

and then! the fact that doppeljohn assumed his form in his military uniform. and he has to fight him. aaaaaahh. and he's losing to him. that john doesn't think that who he is at his core. his soft zippy shirt, no more friends, failure of a self. can actually beat what the military has turned him into. or who it has turned him into for others. this is about john's self image. and it is so!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

(and the energy being chose this form. chose the military version of john. it's not wearing what he's wearing on the mission--leather jacket and tacvest. it's wearing john's standard military uniform. right from the start this is what it picked out of john's head as the most intimidating form)

idk there's just so much going on in the team dreams!!!!

Having trouble finding some films to watch, especially now that it's pride month?

Well have no fear, because I have some that is recommended, whether queer or queer-coded, these are movies you should watch.

Despite being forgotten or criticize being "woke", Strange World is a underrated gem that join the list of underrated and forgotten disney films such Lightyear, Treasure Planet and Atlantis.

It has an gay main character and a diverse cast including an 3-legged dog. Inspired by classic sci-fi adventure film in the 50's and 60's, Strange World is fun adventure film about an generation of a family dealing with their own faults, also opening a door of possibilities with it's lore.

Freaky is a fun twist on the classic "Freaky Friday" trope, telling the story of a teenager who swap bodies with a serial killer, thanks to a mystical artifact.

Co-written and directed by the guy who also made Happy Death Day, Freaky delivers some gore-filled kills and feel good laughs while offering some parts of queer identity along with a gay character who proud of who he is.

The Fear Street trilogy itself not only joined the list of amazing horror films in 2021 but also an spot of queer horror.

It follows an romance of two lesbian teens in the 90's not only dealing with homophobia but also a ancient connected curse of the town of Shadyside.

Chalked with nostalgia of classic horror films like Scream, Friday the 13th and The Crucible.

Fear Street wins fans over with it's violent kills, remarkable characters, talented performances, and great and relatable queer representation.

Jennifer's Body introduced an another horror icon and bisexuality.

Megan Fox plays Jennifer Check who was possessed by a demon and targets on guys after being sacrificed by an fame-hungry band.

Tho Jennifer is not a lesbian, but the films does show that she is interested in both boys and girls, claiming she goes both ways and has some interest in her friend Needy, even kissing her too.

The cult classic not only has an amazing bisexual icon but tackles heavy themes such as assault, exploitation and the female gaze.

Bottoms is a must watch masterpiece, chaotic, brutal and gut-bursting funny, the film follows two high school friends that made a fight club to just hook up with two popular cheerleaders.

With an ridiculously unhinged final act, meet cute romance, and jokes that have you laughing your butt off. This 2000's coded movie is a a treat to start off the month.

After rewatching it again, Arlo has queer heavy themes if you think about it. Looking back, one of the film's characters, has some queer-coded hints about him.

I'm not going to spoil on the titular character, I think you should watch the film in order to get what I'm saying.

Other than that the film has an amazing soundtrack and has colorful characters as well.

Luca definitely is a queer film without a doubt. Focusing on two young sea monsters, spending an unforgettable summer in the town of Portorosso on the Italian Riviera.

It's themes of self discovery, chosen families, homophobia and acceptance.

This emotionally sweet sea-filled tale is a instant classic with a pretty much Canon couple too.

Robot Dreams also has hints of queer companionship and also is a story of loneliness, the film's out now, you definitely think you should see it.

Based off the comic in 2007, Robot Dreams is set in the 80's of New York City.

A lonely dog assemble and befriends a robot in a dialogue-less journey of friendship, love and rusted parts.

There's no surprises are a lot of clear queer-tonic themes in the films, especially among the two main characters, Robot Dreams is a perfect way to spend your summer.

Last year, Nimona was not only one final goodbye from Blue sky studios but is a part of the best films of 2023.

No surprise that the creator of the graphic novel also did Netflix's She-ra, the film is heavy on not only disability but also gender identity and transphobia.

it's a film that everyone will enjoy, thanks to it's commentary and electrifying performances by the cast, combine with pretty metal animation, Nimona is the film you should definitely watch.

🏳️‍🌈Happy pride month, hope all of you have a great day, and let me know on what think of these films.🏳️‍🌈

Here's how to fix Frank Punisher.

First, retcon whatever happened in Punisher 2022. Say it was all a dream and Frank passed the test or whatever by not giving into the Beast at the very end, thereby defeating it. Or the Beast was possessing him the whole time, so none of that was really him, and also Maria was not like really Maria or whatever. I don't care, it's bad, it completely undermines everything that makes Frank as a character, and it needs to go.

So. At the end of Punisher 2022, he's in some hell dimension called 'Weirdworld'. That's fine, that can stay. This is the only good content in the entire run besides Frank's obligatory homoerotic moments with Daredevil.

Frank should get forcibly adopted by wandering children and accidentally catapulted into Dad Mode™ between unimaginable bouts of violence. This is probably the only time that run got him right.

Now, to bring Frank back. He needs a new Microchip. This guy can have some connection to the original David Linus Microchip Lieberman who Frank murdered to death for betraying him back in the early aughts, or he can just be some rando who took on the hackerman name.

He appears to Frank in Weirdworld as some sort of spirit while the kids are sleeping. New Microchip has projected himself in there using magic. He offers to bring Frank out of Weirdworld, but in exchange, Frank has to grant him a favor. Frank tells him to go fuck himself with extra sauce. New Microchip offers to save the kids, too, and Frank is a sucker for kids. So he agrees.

(I'm picturing New Microchip kinda like that nerd guy from the animated Atlantis movie, but OG Microchip was also fat, so like Atlantis guy with a little extra pudge. Cute, though.)

Frank is back on Earth. The kids are free and get sent to someone, probably Natasha because Frank trusts her and she'd look at them and go "what the literal hell" and I think that would be funny. New Microchip has a very Frank-like backstory where his family got killed, and he wants Frank to kill their killers. Frank is opposed because His War Is Over and he doesn't like being forced to do things. But he has to go along because of the magic deal.

Punisher skull comes back. Frank mows the people New Microchip wants dead down in a very typical, Frank-like way. New Microchip also outfits him with a battle van and provides really good tech support. When it's done, Frank is automatically released and is no longer bound to New Microchip.

Naturally, Frank goes to kill him. He finds New Microchip sitting out back looking at the scenery of some sort with a loaded gun waiting nearby. Waiting for Frank. New Microchip's job is done, and he gave up everything to do it. He expects Frank to kill him.

Instead, Frank is like. Grudgingly impressed that this guy had the balls to take what's coming to him instead of trying to run. He also likes his new battle van and could get used to that sort of thing. So, he offers New Microchip a job.

Ok. Here's the crucial part. If this was a new run, Frank should be done with this round of gratuitous violence by issue 3-5, and he and New Microchip should be fucking before issue 10. It needs to be played exactly the same was as if New Microchip were a woman. He's patching Frank up or something, and then they start kissing, fade to black, next page shows them in bed together.

Marvel needs to really play up Frank being bisexual. Not gay. Bisexual. Frank loved his wife, and that's very important to his backstory. Also, gay and not bisexual Frank gives off this weird vibe like being gay helped make him the Punisher, and that would be a nightmare for the PR team and for me personally. But they need to make him SO queer. To the point where people see those stupid thin blue line Punisher skulls and go...isn't that the one who has a boyfriend now?

Angry right-wingers with guns will be burning their shirts and tearing the decals off their cars. Frank's fan base will return to where it belongs: with weird comic book freaks who think he's a funny little guy.

One other thing. There has to be one splash cover where Frank is bridal carrying New Microchip to safety. There should be an explosion behind them. The explosion should, inexplicably, be in the shape of a skull. Picture this. It's very romantic.

Dark Nights: Metal

Well that was certainly an event.

I think the reasons to read this come under a handful of categories:-

Do you care about Barbat(h)os lore?

Do the words ‘Dark Multiverse’ sound like something you care about finding out more about?

Are you an event tragic and want to be set up to read storylines and events spiraling out of this?

Are you the sort of Batman fan who wants to see him curbstomp with everyone else’s powers?

If your answers are no, congratulations, skip this event, it’s a fever dream.

If your interest is piqued: look the best way to describe this uh thing is that a multiverse evil Justice League of Bruce Waynes comes to harass Earth-0.

Yeah. You’ve got:

Red Death (Bruce Wayne who absorbed the Speed Force from Barry)

Murder Machine (Bruce Wayne bonded with an AI of Alfred that’s infected Cyborg)

Dawnbreaker (Bruce Wayne who got a Green Lantern ring immediately after his parents were murdered and had so much willpower he could override the ring into letting him do murder)

Drowned (our gender-swapped Bryce Wayne who performed surgery on himself to turn amphibious to defeat Atlantis after they tried conquering the land)

Merciless (Bruce Wayne who was in love with Diana but ended up possessed by Ares’s helmet after her death)

Devastator (Bruce Wayne infects himself with the Doomsday virus)

The Batman Who Laughs (yeah you all know this one, is the Bruce & Joker combo)

It’s also a ‘collect the tv & movie references’ event, with specific visual references to things like: Star Trek Wrath of Khan; Mad Max Fury Road; Game of Thrones; etc.

It is also, I guess, stuffed full of in-joke references back to earlier events and storylines, both pre and post Flashpoint. Bart Allen gets name-checked. There's an Arthur's hook hand joke that lands quite well. There’s a comment on the street about turning Gotham into a No Man’s Land. Batman: Lost is just ‘how well do you recognise a bunch of classic Batman tales’. And so on.

Interestingly, the two titles that I enjoyed the most (in terms of both references and how their story was constructed) were Batman: Lost #1 (a Snyder-Williamson-Tynion combo book) and Dark Nights: The Batman Who Laughs #1 (Tynion, with Rossmo on art).

I know. I KNOW. But the Dark Nights: The Batman Who Laughs title, despite having literally everything working against it, had the most coherent storyline for how Bruce got corrupted, it was the only title that focused on the fact people would care, and as tends to be the case, it had Rossmo assigned for the art to do some really interesting things. Tynion can tell a good story and actually cared about the stakes of it.

While Batman: Lost #1 is far more understandable as a great event one-shot. It has Bruce hallucinating his future, being in his 70s at home in the Manor with a crowd of grandchildren running around (one has Gordon red hair! Another is called Janet!) and he's telling stories of his past battles to Janet. There's a library wall where the books are all his 'adventures' and of course they're all labelled with the names of various famous Batman stories (and it's fun to look through them and pick out the priorities) and as Bruce tells Janet the story she requested, how it went keeps shifting and other storylines are interposed (and also have oddities in them). It's a title that rewards knowing the original stories Bruce tries to tell. Dominique talks directly to the camera explaining how things will proceed in the Dark Night, Dark City scenes.

Finally there's actually a really lovely intro sequence to Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt #1 if you're a Bobo fan, which includes Rex, the Wonder Dog. I really loved that bit.

Either way, this was one of those events with characters stuffed into every possible panel for Meaningful Reasons and a load of nonsense (I'm not even going to bother understanding some of this, but I got the impression there was a whole pack of 'where has this character been' retcons put in place).

It's a very, very, very, very Bruce Wayne obsessed event. And while there was certainly good material to enjoy in it if you like playing spotto with previous events, the entire metal lore was just ultimately painful to read.

WIP Wednesday

Tagging the usual suspects: @bearlytolerant, @silurisanguine, @aro-pancake, @fangbangerghoul, @atonalginger, @aislingdmdt, @fshenkoescape, @ninjaofnaps, @lisa-and-shadow, @a-cosmic-elf, @thatsgoodsquishy0, @hockeydemon42, and anyone else (ping me if I missed you and I'll add you next time!)

from the WIP chapter of stars through my fingers like grains of sand

Turned out they were grounded for a week after all, but all in all, it was worth it. Cait loved the Razorleaf from the moment she went on board—which didn't stop her from planning some serious design modifications. The engines were fantastic, but the weapons, shields and reactors needed serious upgrading. In the longer term, the Deimos modules also had to go—oh, they had a ruthless efficiency to them that no doubt scared the holy shit out of the bad guys, but Sam's shoulders went up around his ears any time he looked at them.

Assuming he wanted to keep traveling with her. After all that had happened, he and Cora had settled in for a little of that 'down time' at the Lodge while the upgrades were taking place. She'd tried to do the same, but three nights running, she'd cried herself awake, tormented by inchoate dreams of longing for someone just out of reach. They hadn't been her dreams—she recognized that, just as she recognized the unmistakable flavor of them: earthy and male, a ribbon of warm honey wound about with turquoise—but that actually made things worse. It wasn't unusual for her dreams to be impinged upon by those around her; they couldn't help it, neither could she, and she lived with it as best she could. Never before, though, had one person's emotions so outweighed the others. She had no idea what it might mean. She couldn't block them out. Sam didn't want to talk to her—since they'd gotten back to New Atlantis, he'd found excuses to avoid her. (And what could she say about it, anyway? The fact that she was privy, however inadvertently, to such deeply personal knowledge would be mortifying for both of them.)

So, she retreated to the Eye.

The bright spot in all of this was, much to her surprise, Vlad. When she looked beyond her initial prejudice, she recognized a man with the same abiding curiosity as the rest of Constellation, possessed of a deep well of wisdom that rose from an even deeper grief. In just a few days of occasional quiet conversation, he'd taught her scanner tips and tweaks that it would have taken her years to figure out herself. She even found herself discussing the Artifacts with him—including her experiences—and he simply listened. Didn't press her for more details, or scan her without warning, or try to dig for theological implications… Vlad's quiet acceptance was a balm to her nerves that she sorely needed. She didn't know what circumstance had made him so utterly self-contained, but she was profoundly glad of it.

If nothing else, it meant she could sleep, knowing her dreams would be her own, and if she still woke with tears on her cheek—they were only hers to shed.

***

Cait sat on one of the benches in the viewing ring, wrapped in a ratty fleece jacket two sizes too big, and gazed out into deep space. The spaceport had messaged her earlier—the Razorleaf was ready. She could fly out any time she wanted. Vlad, too, had sent her a message: he'd identified a big energy source that matched one of the Artifacts, and he thought she should be the one to check it out. In short, there was no reason for her to stick around here any longer.

She'd sent a message to the Lodge, appending Vlad's readings and notifying them of her intent to pursue it the next day. That done, she went back to staring out at the stars, wondering why she felt like her heart was breaking.

She still didn't even know how things had gone wrong. Sam had been talking about—she groaned. He'd been talking about Lillian, and then—he'd said something about her, and then… he'd just clammed up, and behind the smile he'd put on for her benefit, he'd been afraid. And she had no idea what she'd said, what she'd done, to cause such a reaction. it couldn't have been that she'd made him stay behind in the puzzle room—he'd been angry, yes, especially when she'd invoked Cora's name, but she honestly thought he'd gotten over his upset, that he'd understood why she was protecting him. That she couldn't let Cora lose him because of her.

No. Be honest with yourself, she told herself sternly. Because you couldn't lose him. Another harsh truth. He's not yours to lose.

Was that what it was? Did he think she had some sort of design on him? She shook her head. Ridiculous. Maybe he hadn't been afraid of her at all; maybe just coming so close to death had made him realize what was important to him. She rubbed her temple against the ever-present headache. Maybe, maybe, maybe. She didn't need to know why he needed space; she just respected it.

She looked back down at the tablet on her knee; it was the long list of things she needed to follow up on. Helga had sent her a message letting her know the Marshal would be available in two days. She set a reminder for that; as for the rest of Helga's message, she had no idea how to answer it. However fantastic Sam's ass might be (regarding which she was trying—and failing—to avoid having an opinion), Cait wouldn't be running for it like the Red Mile. Or any other mile, for that matter. That brought her to another moment of stark honesty: Sam wasn't the only one who dreamed of someone unattainable.

The idea that she could fall prey to something so foolishly irrational irritated her to no end. "For the love of stars, woman," she growled at her pale, space-lit reflection, "pull yourself together. You're not some badly-written gothic damsel weeping in a damned attic window. Pick yourself up, put your damn spine back in, and get on with it." There were a number of things she needed to finish. First on her list was armor modifications she needed to finish—she'd been tweaking the Mantis armor for herself, but the Mark I she'd been customizing to Sam's measurements, a replacement for the armor that had been damaged in the lair. She hoped he'd accept it—he was pragmatic enough to realize, even if he were upset with her for some reason, he needed a good suit.

She managed to lose herself in the work for several hours before her tablet beeped. Cait gave the Constellation patch on the shoulder of the Mark I one final press to smooth it flat; for a moment, she considered simply ignoring the notification… but responsibility won out, and she opened the messaging program.

SC: still owe u a dinner. kays at eight?

Cait stared down at it, trying to decide how to respond. Finally, she sighed. "You were the one upset because he didn't want to talk," she reminded herself. "Now that he does, you gonna turn your back on him?"

There was a small, petty, wounded part of her that was still tempted, but in the end...

CL: Meet you there.

If you told me when I was a show only that in the books, Lestat would open by having traumatic dreams of Atlantis sinking and ask his demon possessing him (who is also kind of a brain parasite) what was going on and that would kickstart his Atlantis adventure, I would not believe you. And yet that is how Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, book 12 of the Vampire Chronicles begins.

shoplifting from american hegemony

The first time I am caught stealing it is from an American Apparel, I pretend

I am on the way in, leave banned but triumphant, possess now a shirt with an

eagle on it. There is a holiness to praying for forgiveness, learning; to penitence.

There is a self-prescribed divinity to not, to taking oil drum day dreams and making,

breaking home out of houses wherever you want; autofictious arrogance, and I,

I feel like I'm saying a lot out loud, and nobody's listening not even me.

There's blood in my mouth from the grind, the beat, but it's better than biting my tongue,

cutting myself on my teeth. I'm writing poetry on post it notes,

postcard scrawl, the receipt rolls of sacrament halls, shopping docket

coupons buy one get one free, buy ten have your soul back;

my spirit is burning at a stake inside of me held there by hands I made myself

the fire starts inside of me, I watch as it comes out, watch it touch these flimsy

yellow paper walls where Wilde wrote Gothic and for a moment, I want

I want to watch it all burn, because if the bar burns down, then maybe

the stories disappear, and I disappear; I'm feeling homesick for a time I could say

I love you, to say I love you, to say I am sorry for the space between us, now

for the times you put your hands on my chest and burned them; my ribcage turned

boilerroom, smoking lounge caught fire when I left the light on, let shame

watch our shadow figures fuck; for when my inner child caught frying pan handle from

stove. We catch fire in the living room, held up by hands inside of me. The smoke

exhales, we breathe deeply of one another; start to drown. There,

we made a home on the sea floor, but some people can only hold their breath

for so long before they need to scream, ask for space; need to see

mountains carve up night sky, while I dream of writing wills on the walls Atlantis,

the things I would show you there, I write on yellow wallpaper, burn them up.

I don't write for other people anymore. The last time I stole, I took a book

from a shop in a part of town I can't afford. It was a copy of Howl,

I wrote in it, put it back. Don't believe what they tell you, I tell the person after me.

This was never ours, this language, you don't have to sound like they do.

Outside I am arrested, eating Subway naked in the middle of the day.

As summer slowly comes into town, who will come with it? Enjoy making new friends with a swim in Atlantis Lake, soak up the sun, and fall in love with Swynlake's magic...

Nani Pelekai (Nani, Lilo & Stitch) - Work-worn hands, a musical laugh when you can manage it, and a big sister’s fierce love. Your little sister is your world and you’d do anything to make sure her uni dreams come true. You’ll make Swynlake your home, for as long as Lilo needs it to be.

Dory Tang (Dory, Finding Nemo) - Who is Dory Tang? No, seriously, you're asking! As your identity comes back to you little by little, you're enjoying your life in Swynlake and making everyone smile! You do hope to have answers, and hopefully soon, but you love the new life you've made for yourself in the meantime.

Lilo Pelekai (Lilo, Lilo & Stitch) - A bright smile, lake-damp hair, and a love for photography. You come to Swynlake with your sister so you can attend university here. You've always stood out, and not in a popular girl kind of way. Will you blend in here, or maybe stand out in a good way? Or will uni be another minefield?

Maru Akalana (Maui, Moana) - Your life seems to oscillate rapidly between something terribly confusing and something incredibly wonderful. Your parents gave you up, confusing. Your first foster mother was wonderful and remained with her, wonderful! Then she gets murdered? Sad and confusing. But you found a hook with magical powers in her belongings, super cool! Except, now you think you know what they were after...and now you possesses it...yikes.

Django Brown (Django Brown, Phineas and Ferb) - What's your passion? What isn't!? Django Brown does it all -- surfing, gymnastics, art, music, he's a real renaissance man. But where are you going with all of that? You -- your parents -- hope going to Pride University will give you some direction.

Pearl Beck (Pearl, Finding Nemo) - You were taught your entire life to hide It, It being the fact you are a merperson, which in case that wasn't clear, is your entire identity!!! Swynlake a magick-friendly town, and yet, you sure don't see any out merpeople here, especially not any out cecaelia. Well, then. You're just going to have to change that and show everyone how awesome merfolk are.

“SpiritSpeak” 2050 world where there is telepathic communication, energy healing, less fear of death and more connection to other alien worlds…but also where people are judged by their DNA and past lives, children can interact with spirit guides, and people can speak to spirits, elementals, etc. good and bad face to face and see them like on Zoom. (Ex. those who had been murders/rapists in past lives have less access to certain jobs, those who have been royalty are favored for the government etc.) People can now access everyone’s Akashic Records via the Ethernet.

Shasta Spirit Shorts: “Spirit Guiding 101” (Learn about the Council of Elders, Life Reviews, soul families, the Oversoul (fusion of a soul group) vs the Infinite Self (Higher Self with all past/future lives in it) and the various ex-humans, masters, angels, deities, and ancestors who guide our souls in the background of our many mortal lives)

Shasta Spirit Shorts: “Soul-Play” (How soul family chooses various roles on Earth)

Episode One: “Get An Afterlife!”

Or Sasha’s beginning…her beginning beginning beyond just her physical birth, back when everything was one with God.

Episode Two: “Eternal Allies”

Sasha, dealing with her parents potentially divorcing, discrimination at school, her older brother on drugs, and her grandparent’s death, soon finds hidden allies after nearly dying in a car crash. She learns about the spirit world for the first time and finds allies on her team: ancestors, pets, several ex-humans, two guardian angels, an animal guide, an alien, a deva, and even a Jinn/demon. She astral projects back in time to Atlantis to find out more truths about humanity…and about herself. She pleads to return to Source like all souls, but is encouraged forcefully to finish her mission on Earth. The one sign of the spirit world and one that Sasha always remembers is the monarch butterfly…it shows her spirit allies are near (ancestors, evolution, spiritual transformation).

Episode Three: “Past Life Possession”

Sasha learns of her past life selves for the first time and tries to amend some karma before she loses her known identity at death for the nth time. One of Sasha’s friends undergoes a hypnosis, with unforeseen consequences. One of her past life selves is an evil man connected to the Reptilians/Draconians. A cult tries to bring the evil past self back into her body to further their operations. It is up to Sasha to send the past self back to his timeline and help the spirit guides restore her friend’s current self.

Episode Four: “For The (Akashic) Record”

A gang of evil entities break into the Akashic Records, steal various memories and cause chaos to many mortal minds. Some mortals are tricked into believing they will die early or they were someone else they were not in the past. Can Sasha/Shasta and her team of guides restore their “Books of Lives”?

Episode Five: “Future Life Obsession”

During a Day of the Dead celebration, weird shenanigans occur when a psychic stranger claims his most recent past/parallel life took place in 2044.

Episode Six: “Falling To Your Birth”

Is reincarnation a soul trap? / A dull universe where no dreams and no religion and no spirits exist.

Episode Seven: “Sinister Spirit Guide”

When spirit guides are all supposed to be loving and nonjudgmental, one master guide plots to manipulate his mortal charge’s life behind the scenes to expand his status and move closer to the intoxicating bliss of the Source.

Episode Eight: “Eat My Pixie Dust”

Sasha and friends find out just how brutal many fairies and elementals can be. While a few elementals are willing to work and nurture humans due to being part of Gaia/Earth’s work, many rightfully hate humans for destroying the environment. When one of Sasha’s allies gets trapped in the Fae world, Sasha will need the help of an angel and a demon. Problem is, one of her friends has a bias against demons due to religion.

Episode Nine: “Source Off Course”

Encounter an alternate universe where God/Source is evil and not about Oneness and souls are made of darkness instead of light. Instead of being childlike and choosing experiences to learn from, inverted souls are about survival of the fittest. Here, they are all forced into new incarnations, with hierarchies and levels like Michael Newton’s portrayal of souls

Episode Ten: “Descended Masters”

Oh sh*t! In the same soul trap universe, the Ascended Masters, angels, spirit guides are all evil low-level archon entities that have trapped souls for eons by shapeshifting and making them feel guilty during their Life Reviews. Sinister secrets paint a gruesome picture which is the exact opposite of New Age and religious teachings. The only true trustworthy beings are Source (the original one) and one’s mysterious Higher Selves. But if Sasha can’t trust her own guides in this realm, can she even trust herself to get out of this parallel nightmare?

Episode Eleven: “Soul In Control”

A soul starting out as a guru, wants to heal all diseases and pains of people without recognition, even if it means going against the predetermined death points of souls.

Episode Twelve: “11:11”

Parallel lives, and how Sasha discovers another version of herself/Oversoul (a man in California) born in 2014, set to die in 2032. In the future, children can learn about their spirit guides and past lives if desired, and more acceptance of different races, genders, aliens and species. With some "SpiritSpeak" device, people can communicate with spirit loved ones and beings like a Zoom call as humans become more like spirits and advanced aliens moving toward Source. One issue, however, is people soon being judged less on their race and gender but more on their DNA and past lives! (Nothing can escape the Ethernet)

Episode Thirteen: Part 1 “Reborn Ready”

Sasha struggles with a new romantic relationship, a reincarnated rival and trying to help local souls cross over.

Episode Thirteen: Part 2 “Til Death Do We Reunite”

After a second Near Death Experience, Sasha has to figure out her next mission…she juggles many future tasks…astral projecting, saving the spirit and Earth worlds, and worse…preparing for college!

Bonus: “Forward To The Past”

Stories of past lives

“Leviathan’s Lady”

“Kaida, Bringer of the Sun – The Heroine’s Journey”

(unknown others)

R'lyeh - the Legendary Sunken City

there are more sunken cities than Atlantis. Here are some details about R'lyeh

Unfathomable Depths:

R'lyeh is located deep beneath the ocean's surface, hidden from human eyes. Its precise location remains elusive, known only to a select few who have stumbled upon its existence through cryptic clues and ancient texts.

Cyclopean Architecture:

The city itself is described as having an otherworldly and alien architecture. Its structures defy human imagination, with massive, cyclopean structures that seem to defy the laws of physics. The buildings and structures are composed of strange and ancient materials, giving R'lyeh an otherworldly appearance.

Incomprehensible Geometry:

R'lyeh is said to possess a geometry that is beyond human understanding. Its angles, dimensions, and spatial arrangements are disorienting and defy conventional notions of space and time. Explorers who have glimpsed the city often describe a sense of profound unease and dislocation when attempting to comprehend its layout.

Slumbering Cthulhu:

At the heart of R'lyeh lies the resting place of Cthulhu. The enormous and grotesque idol of Cthulhu lies in a state of torpor, with the entity itself in an eternal slumber. It is said that the city of R'lyeh serves as a prison, keeping Cthulhu confined until the stars align and the time of its awakening draws near.

Psychic Influence:

Despite its submerged state, R'lyeh exerts a powerful psychic influence on those who come near it. The city's presence can induce madness and visions, with haunting whispers and strange dreams emanating from its submerged depths. The Call of Cthulhu, an irresistible psychic summons, draws people towards R'lyeh, often leading them to their doom or madness.

Temporal Anomalies:

The proximity of R'lyeh to our reality creates temporal anomalies, warping time and distorting the perception of those who venture close. Time can appear to slow down or speed up, and individuals may experience disjointed and chaotic sequences of events.
