  1. "I dunno. I don't think anyone's ever entirely anywhere."
  2. "Yeah. But you're still here... mostly, anyway. So I guess that's good."
  3. One would have thought that he would have maintained some level of internal relativity shenanigans to hold him in place, but oh well.
  4. Some scientific facts:

    • Monty Python is the cinema equivalen of jazz.
    • The scariness of a spider is not proportional to the size of the spider, but rather to the length of the spider's legs. Tarantulas are awesome and everyone knows it, but black widows are the freakiest and most hideous creatures known to man.
    • When you're staring at the glowing red numbers on your alarm clock and all the shapes start to warp and corrupt, it is not your eyes playing tricks on you but rather your mind being suspended to the Plane of Dreams.
    • Right next door to that is the Plane of the Forgotten, which is where pencils go when you drop them behind the couch and can't find them again.
    • There was a little turtle tank in the nurse's office at my elementary school. This is not relevant but I just remembered that which I think is cool.
    • There are three types of Ghibli fans: The normie Howl's Moving Castle enjoyers, the inexperienced Spirited Away watchers, and the chad Nausicaa stans. I've yet to meet another soul whose favorite Ghibli is Castle in the Sky yet, which means that the Truth has yet to spread to the masses
    • Cool ranch doritos are meh at best and you know it.
    • The masses fear the weebs, for people fear what they cannot know - that is, they do not fear true weebs, but rather the Demon Slayer junkies who haven't the spine to watch or read anything longer or more braindead than that. In fact, true weebs fear these junkies as well.
    • People who ship Legolas and Gimli are stupid. People who ship Legolas and Aragorn are not. If you require an explanation for what happens with Arwen in this universe, simply leave it to Gimli to put on the charm because turns out he's really into elves.
    • People who ship Frodo and Sam are stupider, and anyone who says otherwise will taste my katana.
    • Before TotK came out, I considered BotW to be the best Zelda Game, and A Link to the Past to be the best Zelda Game. With this new addition to the cast, both those titles hang in the balance.
    • I will not read your writing if it's in Arial font. All good prose deserves serifs.
    • The Batman (2022) has no right being as good as it is.
    • If you put me in the trolley problem scenaro to gather data you'd have to rule me out as an anomaly because whatever I decide to do is ultimately at odds with my innate clumsiness.
    • I wonder if emptying your brain is a good way to knock yourself unconscious for the night? Or am I just forcing it to think harder about things that it really shouldn't when I'm trying to sleep?
    • That last one wasn't a fact.
    • It was a question.
    • Tamales are either gross or made by a bona fide mexican guy and there is no in-between.
    • It is impossible to make a good churro, which is the point.
    • Sheev Palpatine really needs to work on his branding. The "Tragedy" of Darth Plagueis the Wise is barely a few lines of dialogue long - that isn't a tragedy, that's a synopsis. Give me a remake where the opera Anakin meets him at is a three-act musical about the rise and fall of Darth Plagueis, complete with a greek chorus and dudes wearing coconuts.
    • Everyone says The Minish Cap is the most underrated Zelda game, which I think is ironic.
    • By cubic meter you're actually hotter than the sun. Light also escapes you much faster than it does the core of that thing.
    • I'm tired. I just yawned. What a day.
    • You're yawning too now.
    • Goodnight.

      whilst reading this i mentally sorted each bullet point into 2 categories: “yes i like this this is good and factual and real” and “not that.” you get a final score of 11 to 11. upon review, there are 25 bullet points. i am bad at counting. 

  5. Musical Theory and Classical Compositions are super interesting because I find it totally awesome whenever you can derive some kind of art from math and science.

    But every time I look into it I'm constanly reminded about how impossible it is to quantify music, because all those youtube channels that break down tunes will be like "This is the chord progression, which is a common form of question and answer - a basic tenet of all musical composition," and then in the same breath will say something like, "and then they throw in this chord, which works because it sounds good" and I'm all (>._.)>

      that is, indeed, the one I have in mind

      Also @DramaQueen I muchly agree - after all, I am an artist by trade

      don't bring up the fact that the only money I've ever made from my art was a twenty dollar bill that I spent on a coffee mug and a couple stickers. That doesn't count

      I'm also a huge fan of logical theorems and scud like that. I mean, I sometimes even enjoy doing math - and when you get into the whacky theoretical stuff, then it just gets exponentially more interesting.

       

      Numbers are cool also is what I'm saying.

      I took an AP Music Theory class last year for fun and the teacher was good but the curriculum slobbered over 18th century composers way too much and overall felt far too soulless and mechanized for what is, fundamentally, art. Plus it had really high standards for the test which is why I got a 2/5

  6. "I don't know. Probably not a dragon though... I don't think they care what happens at this point."
  7. By the way, I've started writing another project. It'll be a bit shorter than the Iconar Collective (i.e. not 100,000+ words), and - if all goes well - will not take particularly long to finish.

    Relatively speaking, anyway.

    I'll probably post it here in chunks once I get a decent amount of it written. There's quite a lot of swearing in it so far, so consider yourselves warned, but stars the one and only Ayia as the protagonist. If you're on the fence between best girl and "ew swearing no," then hopefully the fact that the prose I'm using has been a BLAST to write will tip you over the edge.

  8. "So what's the deal, chum?" Fadran asked as he approached through the trans-universal doorway. Icona, as per the usual, communicated via telepathy to reply. We got two signals at right around the same time. First Kris sent one about a hole in the Macrosmos right after Pyro disappeared - "He does tend to do that." But then we got one just a few hours ago from the FSC... they said Ayia went missing. Out of nowhere. Just vanished. That happened less often. "Are they connected?" Quite possibly. Notably, the signature from the hole Kris detected was very similar to the one Pyro emitted before vanishing, which leads me to believe that there's an actual anomaly happening there. However, we didn't get any reading from when Ayia vanished - she was too far out of range. Fadran ran his hands through his hair, as he often did when thoughts needed some actual dang thinking. "Get the Core back here, for starters - as soon as possible." Can't. They're in quite the pickle, I hear. He was not entirely sure what a pickle was. "Alright, then. Open a direct line to Kris for now." On it. Not that random multiversal shenanigans were at all rare in this line of work, but to have several at roughly the same time for such closely-related people was... a little strange. Granted, that was pretty much the recipe for the Fellowship in the first place, but with how little they knew (or could ever know) about the Macrosmos, it was imperative that every anomaly was investigated thoroughly. @AltonicKeys @Ati16 @Cinnamon @Edema Ruh @Telrao @The Last Fæ
  9. Something bleeped from Kris's pocket: his interdimensional communicator, most likely. He pulled it out, a little surprised, and mashed a couple buttons (some of them tended to stick nowadays) until a display finally came up to inform him of the situation. "Well that can't be good," he said aloud. He forwarded the signal to HQ.
  10. "One way or another, I don't think humanity would've given in that quickly to anything, let alone this. At least someone was pulling some strings to get their point across. If you guys can get an alliance going anyway that'd be great, but... just... just do what you can, guys." @Justice_Magician
  11. "Alrighty. We can keep going now, Allera. I'll figure out what this guy's about in the meantime." @Szeth_Pancakes @The Aspiring Archivist @Exotwo @Quirksliver
  12. This is good advice, and that's the problem (I don't want to be published because my first thirteen words "hooks" my editor)
  13. Give me a Batman + Superman movie where Wayne Enterprises attempts to collaborate with Lexcorp in a clandestine operation to dig up the dirt for special investigators Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Batman and Superman are both well aware that Lex Luthor is planning some sort of world-dominating superweapon, but exhaust every option they can find to tackle the situation without putting on the suits and beating the schnozz out of some robot goons because both of these heroes exist to prevent casualties; not punch bad guys.

    Of course, it wouldn't be a superhero movie without some superhero action sequences, but for the grand finale I'd love to see the two of them working together not just to beat up Lex Luthor's kryptonite megarobot, but to actively contain as much collateral damage as inhumanly possible. Both of these characters are incredibly competent and genius-level superheros, which I would love to see portrayed in a highly-intelligent fashion.

      I saw, I might watch it

  14. Fadran does check this anymore. Fadran just draws when he can, and sometimes that's not always.
  15. Castlevania is good!

    Stop once you've finished Season 2 if you've got any level of self-respect. It's still good but there are some incredibly graphic sex scenes that I was not expecting.

      I've only watched the first season, and absolutely loved it. But now I am considering not finishing after I reach the point you mentioned.

      I only know of the being of infinite power who is Kirby.

    But I didn't install a muffin button.

    ...Then where did I get this muffin?
