#i really really think this episode was a peak

[random-reblog-go]

I was a huge Averno fan when it was in its peak, but I also was not involved on the social media platform (Twitter/TikTok) that a lot of the more intense side of things were occurring on so I really dodged a bullet. T-T.

I remember that after the Willow musical dropped as well as the podcast that accompanied the concepts of camp averno, i had been waiting for the second episode to drop, but got distracted by other more continuously updating content. Months later i check in to rewatch that first podcast episode and see if a second one had dropped and everything had been wiped from the internet, I was confused but didn't think much of it because I assumed it was just an indie project that the creators had decided to give up on. By chance, months later my younger sibling brought up about this post an artist they liked (sushi) made and it was about Averno and I finally read that big doc and was shocked. I ended up being glad that the project came to an end since even though it meant the work of majority children and young adults had been lost, it meant that the crazy harmful stuff that the Morgan who was the creator of Averno did to both the people who worked on Averno as well the young seriously impressionable fans

Just found out that I almost joined a goddamn cult back in 2020. What the fuck

‘everything was alright until you came along. she didn’t even think about being with anyone else’……. everything was alright except betsy was going off the rails + lashing out, everything was alright except betsy and lisa couldn’t talk to each other without it descending into a big argument, everything was alright except lisa has been passively suicidal the whole time and increasingly self-destructive!!!!!

I was thinking about these excellent questions from @ariadne-mouse, and in particular those about what this upper Un megafauna eats most of the time, in relation not to the crew, but the Sloop:

Consider also, @utilitycaster's suggestion of a toroidal cosmos, wherein the limits do not necessarily end, but instead circle around to meet each other. We do see that the mica described at this altitude is "fresher" and "cleaner", in a sense suggesting that this mica is newly formed:

We cannot yet know what lies beyond the tunnels of mica, but if the cosmos do in fact circle back upon themselves, and we take as foundation the gravitational direction of the cosmos—i.e., that the the Un is up, and the Fold is down, and overall, everything flows from top to bottom—then the biggest question is: where does the Fold at the deepest depths go?

But when we get to the description of the Fold of the dark mica being siphoned, the idea of mica forming begins to be called into question:

Contrary to this image of inorganic, dead matter, we do know that Fold is, technically, alive, that it is not liquid but innumerable living micro-organisms, described as algal or bacterial. We also know that mica can be excreted as by-product by other beings, notably mirrorhawks:

And, as we've learned, people contain Fold, which can be siphoned from themselves, and it is fundamental to their being and life. This could explain the chemical origin of this mica secretion, if Fold is a fundamental basis of life in the cosmos:

So perhaps mica, far from being any sort of originating matter, is in fact the by-product of dead, processed, consumed Fold.

Certainly, we don't entirely know how more Fold is created, though we know it has an origin at the Font, so it must have ways of generating more, and the cosmos must have ways of balancing the amount of Fold in the sense that the universe has not become purely Fold. Of course, we do not know where Fold goes beyond the Delta, but based on this evidence, I would hypothesize that one method of keeping this balance is that the megafauna of the upper Un and the megafauna of the extreme depths of the Fold are one in the same—evolved within a toroidal cosmos to consume and process Fold where it is most abundant, and maintaining an equilibrium of Fold in the universe.

btw i really really hope that janus's current characterization, with the wine and sass, is just there for the more light-hearted episodes, and that thomas hasn't forgotten the nuance behind his character.

[thatswhatsushesaid]

one more teaspoon of salt, tho it's more moody and navel-gaze-y this time

remember when i still enjoyed nie huaisang as a character... remember when i wrote meta just about him and did deep dives into his character in both the novel and cql....

what else do the die-hard nie stans plan to take from me 😢

Finally catching up on the Horizons episodes I missed 👍

[elegantmarigold]

Gwen was really invoking the ghost of a certain archivist this episode. Just really fucking around and finding out with dangerous people. Getting stubborn about it when they really should be getting the hell out of there at this point. Absolutely refusing to read the room and realize that this is going to go poorly for them until they're right about to die. Having the ability to say just the wrong thing without realizing it and just not being able to stay quiet and leave well enough alone. Apparently I just love a stubborn, persistent idiot because they're both my favorite characters and I love them dearly for this and I'm also terribly afraid for their well-being and they are going to be the death of me.

i didnt watch unknown as it was airing bc i knew it would consume me so i decided to binge it all today. i was correct. it has consumed me.

Having gone through the original Urusei Yatsura anime twice in full and currently nearing the end of my third rewatch (just going through the episodes I like this time... which is admittedly still most of it lol), I thought it'd be fun to put together a chart on how I'd personally categorize the evolution and different parts of the show.

This is by no means supposed to be an "objective and definitive" categorization or anything. I just wanted to list out in broad strokes how I see the show based on what I've observed and what I feel from it.

was just rewatching Jack Saint and Patricia Taxxon's video on Mauler (it's called "Long Critique Is Not Deep Critique" and it's like actually so fucking good) and was so taken aback by hearing Twin Peaks music in there now that i've actually seen Twin Peaks lmao, that Laura Palmer theme is so fucking good, Angelo Badalamenti is just truly on another level, i already wanna rewatch the show now (S02 is good, y'all are just cowards).
