The image of the helmet left on the ground is living rent free in my brain

Partly because the visor is yellow tinted and that stood out to me (yellow is the colour of communication!) for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it shows the level of detail the show goes into. Acrylic or Perspex changes colour under high voltage because of the electrons (don’t ask me to explain how I’m not a scientist I’ve just seen it done!!) - it goes a yellowish green - just like the visor on Bucks helmet!!

But also because the light is still on.

If Buck were going to die permenantly (which we all know doesn’t happen) then that light would have been symbolically out - it would’ve been a helmet in the ground in the rain and that’s it.

But instead we have light - a feeble beam - but light - symbolic of Bucks life force - still there but weak and pointing in the direction the ambulance drove off in!

Character Actor

Jeremy Slate (born Robert Bullard Perham; February 17, 1926 – November 19, 2006)  Film and television actor, and songwriter. He is best known for Larry Lahr in The Aquanauts (1960–1961), Chuck Wilson in One Life to Live (1979–1987) and as Deputy Sheriff Ben Latta in The Sons of Katie Elder (1965).

Slate co-starred with Ron Ely in the 1960–1961 Ivan Tors series The Aquanauts,  which was renamed Malibu Run halfway during its brief run on CBS. The series could not compete successfully in the same time slot as NBC's durable western Wagon Train. He guest-starred in nearly 100 television shows and appeared in twenty feature films. Among his many television appearances were two roles in the courtroom drama series Perry Mason, both times as Perry's client: In season 3, 1960, he played Bob Lansing in the episode, "The Case of the Ominous Outcast", and in season 5, 1962, he played Philip Andrews in "The Case of the Captain's Coins."

He guest-starred in the 1959–1960 syndicated western series, Pony Express, starring Grant Sullivan.

In 1963, Slate was cast as Mark Novak in the episode "The Loner" of the NBC modern western series, Empire, set on a ranch in New Mexico. In the storyline he became involved in a deadly boxing match with series character Tal Garrett (Ryan O'Neal). Also in 1963, he co-starred in an episode of the second season of Combat! called "Off Limits," produced and directed by Robert Altman. That same year, he played Elroy Daldran, a hired assassin out to kill Eliot Ness, in "A Taste for Pineapple", the final episode (series finale) of The Untouchables starring Robert Stack. Finally in 1963, he appeared in James Arness’s TV Western series Gunsmoke, as gunslinger Billy Hargis in “Carter Caper” (season 9, episode 8).

He played a troubled surfer in a 1962, season 3 episode of Route 66 called "Ever Ride the Waves in Oklahoma?" In 1965 he starred as Wally in season 1, episode 21 of Bewitched, entitled "Ling Ling". He later guest-starred as a German infiltrator in a fourth-season episode of Combat! entitled ”The Mockingbird” (aired 1966).

Slate played Hank in the NBC comedy Accidental Family in 1967–1968.

From 1979 to 1987, Slate portrayed Chuck Wilson on the ABC daytime soap opera One Life to Live. For a short time, from April to October 1985, while Slate was not on One Life to Live, he portrayed the character of Locke Walls on the CBS daytime drama (soap opera) Guiding Light. Slate performed in nine episodes of CBS's long-running Western series Gunsmoke, including in the role of a likable but doomed cowboy in the 1962 episode "The Gallows" written by John Meston. He also guest-starred three times on The Alfred Hitchcock Hour on CBS and then NBC, on CBS's Mission: Impossible and The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, ABC's Bewitched, then NBC's My Name Is Earl.  (Wikipedia)

I like the idea that the guiding light would be absolutely revolted at the thought of a human being dating an entity. Like “EWWW THEY’RE TRYING TO KILL YOU.” Maybe it would even abandon you at the first sign of you fraternizing with the entities a bit too closely. Or..well- maybe put you at the wrong end of a certain sword.

He's the ture hero in Star Wars and I'll never sut up about it

So I recently saw a post with a screencap of this scene in it:

And good heavens. Is this not a perfect visual metaphor of Obi-Wan's role in the entire Star Wars universe? Supporting the wounded Light, unable to stop her from dying, but still steadfastly good and patient up to and through the darkest hour, waiting (though he doesn't know it, yet) for that Light to be reborn in a padawan?

Woe fan seasonal spirits be upon ye ✨

YEAH THATS RIGHT for one of my uni projects I decided to design some seasonal spirits plus a guide for my own hypothetical Sky season! The original concept was having a skykid guide the player helps uncover some of the ruins and truths left buried by the ancestor spirits, though I kinda had to just focus on the designs themselves due to time woooo

Each of these spirits were probably alive when the dark stone pollution/general issues in the kingdom came to ahead. The idea that Fearful Florist was trying to preserve some of the flowers destroyed by the pollution, Caring Fisherman used to fish for light creatures for dark stone processing but later came back and freed them and finally Starry Manta Rider used to raise Mantas but slowly watched as they were either taken or became spirits.. mmmm we love fun lore ✨

(The seasonal location would probably be in a desert area outside the Vault of Knowledge, similar to Isle, Wasteland and the Little Prince area! I imagine it’s accessed through a crack in the vaults walls. Maybe the player follows a little starry manta to get there?)

I did have ideas for seasonal quests like uncovering the spirits pasts or saving the guide from a krill during one of their investigations of some ruins but did not have to do draw it sadly ;-;

BUT YEAH enjoy these silly concepts I hope yall enjoy them!
