Lark Playlist :)

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfseHI1QTBdxIdpeGj0wP7CfnU6vZAbqT

(Sparrow playlist here: https://at.tumblr.com/babacontainsmultitudes/i-made-a-little-sparrow-playlist/zg9o196okvhs)

Track list under the cut but this time with a few annotations/explanations/quotes on some of the song choices!

The Spider and the Lamps (Forgive Durden)

Literally just every lyric in this song… Mostly this is about Lark being manipulated by Willy into stabbing Henry

Caught Like A Fly (Falling in Reverse)

Mostly about Lark’s bitterness, resentment towards Henry, and general feelings of being neglected/shutting the rest of the world out, etc.. A few lyrics make me think of the more unfortunate/abrasive aspects of his relationship with Sparrow as well.

Breaking the Habit (Linkin Park)

On Lark’s confusion over his own feelings and not understanding why he acts how he does, on his lifelong dedication to fixing his mistakes, and perhaps on his deteriorating mental state more generally.

Death of a Bachelor (Panic! At the Disco)

Amsterdam (Nothing but Thieves)

We Don’t Have To Dance (Andy Black)  

Rule #4 – Fish in a Birdcage (Fish in a Birdcage)

Very obviously, I think, this is about Sparrow and the role he plays in Lark’s life.

Lark of My Heart (Eliza Rickman)

You’re more than welcome to project whatever ships you want onto this, but this is about Rebecca lol

Some Nights (fun.)

Just a lot of lyrics that can be applied in numerous ways, but…

“My heart is breaking for my sister

And the con that she called "love"

And then I look into my nephew's eyes

Man, you wouldn’t believe

The most amazing things

That can come from

Some terrible nights”

Like ugh just stab me in the heart why don’t you

Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Jonathon Young)

POWER (Sparrow got the soft NSP version so Lark gets the raspy metal version heh heh heh). Yeah, mostly about Lark and Sparrow.

Goodbye To A World (Porter Robinson)

On, you know, ending the world and all that.

“Though it’s the end of the world, don’t blame yourself”

I Don’t Love You (My Chemical Romance)

Mostly on Henry and the rogue card :(

Wanted to try drawing something a little ornate, I think they’d make each other worse

[setaflow]

Anyway I had fun this season

[mothgenes]

Part 3

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3

[taxkha]

I saw a couple people do like AUs where Apollo is a magician and I found the idea so cute, I wanted to make my own. Of course Klavier teases him just as much.

[wretchedbroth]

Can’t get this scene out of my head…like…the layers…ough…

[paper-mario-wiki]

Could you explain how Ambrosia is able to come back after dying?

1

Sure yeah, I'll give it a shot.

[Fursona Lore/ Mild Existential Horror presented in charmingly primitive MS Paint style under the cut]

[At the top of the panel there is the label "conceptual space (currently being created. The middle is labeled "THE UNIVERSE, REALITY (the other)". The bottom is labeled "CONSCIOUSNESS, REFLECTION (the self). The very bottom of the panel reads "OTHER, FREAKIER BUT LESS IMPORTANT STUFF" ]

To keep it brief, a person is when a certain amount of consciousness slips upwards into reality. Consciousness is, like the laws of thermo dynamics [sic], a fundamental property of the universe.

3

I'm sure you've heard of the sticking-a-pencil-through-paper metaphor for theoretical wormhole travel, right? Staying within that visual metaphor, imagine the moisture in the air around that "piece of paper" as what consciousness is. It creates tiny, imperceivable changes in the surface and makeup of the paper. Imagine a microscopic rain cloud making a tiny fraction of the paper a little bit soggy. That's what you are in the universe. A tiny soggy fraction of a massive piece of paper. (That's why you feel so small btw).

Of course, putting it into that metaphor IS greatly simplifying it, since in real life things like time and space sorta overlap, ya know? Because they're entirely separate dimensions of measurement. Consciousness is the same, it is everywhere in the universe all at once, but only after it seeps in from a place that is exactly where we are, but elsewhere. 4D stuff is complicated sorry if that's not super clear ha ha.

4

Normal people happen when a bunch of that stray potential-consciousness starts stacking more and more layers of reality on top of itself. Sort of like those pastries that you fold butter into and then fold it like 10 times and that makes it so theres like a billion layers of butter and dough and butter and dough and butter and dough and on and on and on. But with, uh. The other stuff. Consiousness and matter from the universe.

Speaking semantically, that's all the little tiny organisms that work really hard to make you alive. Like the biome in your gut, or the bacteria in your tissue and blood cells. Look it up, 43% of the human body is made of bacteria. Like, that's just on google.

Anyway, all their effort culminates in an increasingly complex meat shell that constitutes a person.

5

For the sake of practicality, we can imagine the way consciousness "seeps in" to the universe is like heat coming off the sun. The two overlapping infinite planes radiate into each other like heat radiates off the sun.

That clear? Heat from the sun. Remember that, it's important for the next part.

6

I'm sort of like a solar flare.

My consciousness, in its raw form, was so concentrated that it was like a tiny shooting star straight from the source.

Also kind of like a kidney stone, I guess.

7

Since my consciousness (which, to be clear, is approximately the same "amount" of consciouessness as anyone else, just all smooshed together into a single clump) is smooshed together into a single clump, the shell forms naturally as "reality" settles onto it. The "shape" the consciousness takes is basically the same as your body or anyone else's since the framework of both entities are the "same" on the "outside". Thus the "shells" turn out "similar" too.

Sorry for all the quotation marks, it's hard to talk about concepts outside of the third dimension in third dimensional terms, and like. I also am not super sure about this stuff either. I'm only relaying what I've learned from the scientists but some of it goes over my head.

I like to think I'm clever but like. I'm not a genius.

8

So here's the part where me and you are different: When your shell breaks apart (when you die) it's because the consciouessness had been escaping your shell, like air from a balloon, and the physical structure can't support itself anymore. Or, like, maybe you just fall over and hit your head on the concrete one day and pop the balloon all together.

Either way, the consciousness escapes from the pressure, and either goes back "down" where it came from, or goes upward into conceptual space, which is sorta being constituted through forces exerted in the physical universe. Well, I mean, really it's more of a product of a reaction between consciousness and physical space. Whatever I'm getting off topic.

The point is the shell breaks cuz the balloon pops. I think that was my point.

9

Now that you get all that, you can probably deduce on your own how and why I'm able to keep "coming back".

It's cuz I'm not really "coming back", I'm still here! The shell representing me here was just lost.

10

And while the facade may not look precisely the same every single time...

11

I remain the same.

[deerspherestudios]

Hello Deersphere, I'm magical girl, and honestly I'm so happy I get to ask you a question cause real talk, I am enjoying the community of Mushroom Oasis and the Character Mychel that we adore so much, and hopefully once I get my Fanfic done, maybe I can show it to you once its in the clear.

Then again, I do have a question about Mychel, and I'm very aware that he doesn't think much about children since I read the answers, but you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, I'm just curious in general :3.

Does he have any male parts by any chance, or no?

P.S. Don't worry my Fanfiction will be Fluff 💚🍄♥️

He's not sure if he wants to answer that.
