musings by olive (and things I just think are rad)

Only thing I didn’t like is how some of the backstory wasn’t touched on, but since the audio was a bit hard for me to understand, this opinion very well might change once I get some closed captions.

But everything else: the realness of Simon’s character, the ups and downs of thinking you might survive the blood oceans to losing hope to getting it back again, the existentialism of being the next nameless sacrificial lamb for the false hope of humanity, seeing God look at you as you slowly lose yourself.

Wow.

Markiplier deserves nothing but good things and the highest praises. He blew me away. He turned a half hour game into a study of humanity. All with practical effects.

Another comic based on a favorite post of mine, because what can I say? I love posts

So, watching RageGamingVideo's newest Monster Hunter World rewatch has sparked a tiny thing in me--the idea of revisiting Lady Raiden's story.

When she was a young woman training under her brother/father to become [insert title for a god of thunder here orrr something], a Rajang (name unknown) attacked her brother (or her father), stealing his thunder (O`_O) and leaving him in a coma. This was undoubtedly an act of sacrifice on her brother/father's part, as the Rajang was more than likely targeting her.

On that note, maybe there had been rumors of young Kirin-born being slain, no doubt being the workings of that Rajang--a serial killer. But with Raiden's older brother's/father's interference, the last of the killer's victims wasn't a young, inexperienced Kirin learning to harness their powers, but a proud warrior who dedicated his strength and his life to protecting her.

And she was probably done with simply being protected.

Raiden swore an oath of vengeance, taking up the name "Raiden" (as that was probably not her original name) and chasing that killer to the ends of the world to end his life and ensure he couldn't claim another innocent's life and power.

She'd defeat the killer, have introspection and connect with her comatose brother/father, learn that the emptiness she still feels is because while she gained control over her powers over lightning, she'd used it for the wrong reason, and re-emerge to go on a pilgrimage and find herself.

Our moon is number 5. It is smaller in direct comparison to the above moons. The diameter of the moon is 3475 km. That is a full 27% of the diameter of the Earth. More than a quarter. That's ridiculous. It's unheard of. The universe is large enough that the word unique probably doesn't mean a lot, but this might be about as close as you get.

This has had a huge impact on our planet. Other things aliens might not have are significant tides. One of Mars's dumpy little potatoes wouldn't be able to move oceans the way our moon does.

Our moon has also stabilized our axis to a massive degree. Without her up there our axis would wobble all over the place and our climate would be far more chaotic. Aliens might not be quite so lucky.

HOW I ANIMATE 🤌

I try to tell myself this every day.

HEADS UP!

Hoi there! I did some costume and makeup design of some lovely OCs who will be guest-starring in the next episode of Rose for Shurinai!

I did a patron reward for my first and only Astral of his character we designed together! I love how it turned out. <3
