Something is seriously wrong with my session

Everything seems malformed and warped in ways it shouldn't be, god man i just

The imps scream in agony and bleed while ogres slough skin and flesh

The poor prospitians, they were all dying when we entered, some kind of plague from what we could gather, the poor queen was half dead like she was rotting apart

We tried to investigate derse but our rage player never came back so we gave up trying

Im a heir of time this session and its just awful, time feels like its stuttering and stopping before something breaks and it keeps going, on better days it feels like im walking through old syrup

Our space player has been near comatose since we started, if she does talk at all its all just utter nonsense, like her words aren't coming out in the right order

We've all heard of those "haha what if sburb was creepy" crap posts on the forums but this is a nightmare

Its like our session has cancer or some shit, a frog with two heads

Im scared and dont know what to do

Wow, that sounds genuinely awful.

First thing's first, confirm whether or not the Rage player is in fact dead or not. Or "suffered a death versus actually dying". I know that's going to be difficult between your sluggishness and the Space player's comatose status (and who knows what else), but you'll need to figure it out. The next step is going to be a bit difficult, so you'll need all the help you can get. Not to mention, it's always better to figure these things out before making big plans. For all we know Derse is fine and they're just too traumatized to want to leave. Either way, you have two equally undesirable options before you.

Option 1 is to complete the game. This ranges from "difficult" to "untenable" with a low hazard rating. All the enemies seem like they would fall apart with one blow, with the Black King potentially collapsing into a pile of blood and tumors if you hit him once. But at the same time, your group seems pretty disabled. Not to mention, who knows what other aspects of the game are broken. Or if it's even possible to breed a Genesis Frog, between the low quality of the entire universe, and your Space player being out of commission. If you go through with this plan, try contacting your Denizen for help. They're almost always unaffected by shit like this.

Option 2 is scratching the game, which might make things marginally less awful. The downside, of course, being that you're unlikely to survive it unless you do a Ring Voyage. I don't know exactly what happens if you stay in one place while the Session scratches, so I'd play it safe and just skedaddle. The Others should also be unaffected, and you'll need their consent to enter the Furthest Ring. You will, of course, also need a vessel. The Battleships and Meteors are always good choices, but you need to steal or be granted the former, and the Space player (or lots of explosives) to fling the latter. In both cases, I would double-check the physical integrity of both, to make sure no Corruption leaks through (on top of other prep, like getting a Grist stockpile, food, etc.) You'll need some coordination and elbow grease to activate the Scratch Construct, enter your vessel, and then take off before getting caught in whatever happens next. The silver lining is, of course, that once you've left the Session, the fact that Reality Is Shit will stop making you stutter, and will wake the Space player up. They will not be happy to find themselves in another status where Space is non-euclidean or otherwise doesn't make sense, but it's probably better than wherever they are now.

As I said before, two tough choices. You're going to need some willpower for this one.

Voyager 1: Color slide of Saturn's rings (March 2, 1979)

[thepastisalreadywritten]

ON THIS DAY IN SCIENCE: September 5

𝗡𝗔𝗦𝗔’𝗦 𝗩𝗢𝗬𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝟭 𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘 🚀

On this day in 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 on a grand tour of the solar system!

Along its journey, it made groundbreaking discoveries about the gas giants and has since ventured beyond the solar system, continuing to explore the mysterious interstellar space.

During its travels, Voyager 1 made some awesome discoveries.

When it flew by the giant planet Jupiter in 1979, it found a thin ring circling the planet and spotted two new tiny moons named Thebe and Metis.

Then, in 1980, Voyager 1 visited the ringed planet Saturn and uncovered even more secrets!

It found a new ringlet called the G-ring and three little "shepherd" moons — Prometheus, Pandora and Atlas — that help keep Saturn's rings in place.

After finishing its planetary mission, the intrepid Voyager 1 just kept going and going.

In 1998, it became the farthest human-made object from Earth.

Today, it is now located more than 23 billion kilometers from Earth, outside the solar system.

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥?

Voyager 1 a pioneering spacecraft that provided groundbreaking data on Jupiter and Saturn, became the first to enter interstellar space in 2012, and remains the most distant human-made object.

It also carries a golden record as a message to extraterrestrial life.

Each of the seven Narnia books has a moral message or theme at its foundation. Every major beat of the story is centered on and refers back to this theme, so if you take away or alter the theme, you alter the entire foundation of the story. Obviously these themes/messages align with Christian principles because this is Lewis we’re talking about. So, my interpretations of the themes are the following:

 Magician’s Nephew is about taking responsibilities for your actions, LWW is about being selfless but also about forgiveness, Horse and His Boy is about the golden rule, Prince Caspian is about belief without proof, Voyage is about conquering temptation/evil within yourself, and Silver Chair is about trusting in God’s plan even when it doesn’t make sense, and Last Battle is about hope and doing what you think is good even when it seems hopeless. 

Which I think is one of the reasons the Voyage movie falls flat when compared to the other two. One explanation is that it changes many things from the book, but Prince Caspian does that too. Both movies make drastic changes from their source material, but Prince Caspian doesn’t feel (at least to me) as drastically changed as Voyage, because Voyage’s changes go down to the very foundation of the book’s theme. Lewis is saying that there is ‘evil’ in everyone that we all have to repeatedly overcome while the movie is saying that evil is outside of us and that we can overcome it once and be done with it, which drastically changes the central theme of the story. Prince Caspian on the other hand adds a lot of the story but all of the changes stay true to the central theme of belief without proof (or they correct some of Lewis’ inconsistencies). You can change the details all you want for the most part, but the core theme of the story has to remain the same otherwise it’s just not the same story so it won’t feel the same.

So there’s this really big essay I want to write detailing all the changes and how they alter the theme or go along with the theme etc.

Poll one has been complete and the winner is The Lightning Thief! The winner of this poll will face off against the previous winner to declare the true winner and best opening line.

And again, if you feel I've forgotten a particularly good quote, feel free to suggest.

Please reblog to break containment 💙📚

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Stubbs and he almost deserved it.

Rebecca: Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again.

The Dark Tower: The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

A Wrinkle in Time: It was a dark and stormy night.

The Book Thief: Here is a small fact: you are going to die.

The Outsiders: When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.

The Princess Bride: This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.

The Night Circus: The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

Anna Karenina: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

The Fellowship of the Ring: When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventyifirst birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.

Frankenstein: You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings

"The Fight" (S05E18, Stardate UNKNOWN) is a flop. There is a nugget of a good idea in there but it is dragged down by poor acting, a story that needed to more fleshing out and a lack of real commitment to the strange that chaotic space would create for Voyager.

This is a mess of an episode so I focused on one of the sturdiest elements of the story...

[thiddleston]

I need some help y'all!

EVENT POLL: 30-WOMAN ROYAL RUMBLE FOR FICTIONAL CHARACTERS TIME! (part 5)

[tolbachik-art]

I don't know why, but I got a very strong and sudden urge to do a piece of Iapetus. I literally couldn't sleep, as all I could do was think of painting Iapetus. I kinda lost track of time, but I do know it took me just a little over an hour. It was a lot of fun, I hadn't ever really done a study like this before!
