soul of a creature

Toronto is not a wildfire-prone area. It is extremely close to the USA border, and the smog is currently affecting NY right now. There is literal chunks of debris in the air. The sky is orange, and the sun is nowhere to be seen.

Climate change and its effects are right outside your door. Data centres are the cause for the insane heat waves across the globe, and the increase in wildfires and other natural disasters.

You will watch recordings of the world burn around you, and only when you are behind the camera will you realize there is no going back.

So may I Present:

March Winds

In the Spring, in the Place where I grew up, March Winds kick up huge amounts of dust from the gravel used as road-grip through the winter. These dust-devils generate massive amounts of static, causing particulates to adhere to every surface, painting the town sepia, and generating sudden static storms....

April Showers:

having museums full of reproductions would be even cooler than having museums full of sacred artifacts because when modern craftspeople are able to replicate those artifacts, it’s usually because they still make the same items the same way today

this means that you could have description tags emphasizing that such-and-such item has been made by these people in almost the same way for hundreds of years

Not really sure, I didn't see something about it (but i'm really often miss all notifications and message and posts lol) But I have little sketches of this X)

Smh. You try to resurrect your dead wife but nobody warned you about the additional trauma and the pile of eldritch goop you now have to clean up. (project notes are under the cut)
