Parallels

Or

Seeing Patterns in Things that Aren’t There.

Part 55

More in Heaven and on Earth.

Or

It’s the Same Bloody Planet

1. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (pic used from the 1981 TV series)

After the Vogons destroy the earth to make way for a Hyperspace bypass, the remnants of the Magrathean civilisation are revived at the request of the Mice to build a second copy of Earth to find the question to the ultimate answer.

Arthur: The earth!

Slartibartfast: Well, Earth Mark 2. We’re making a copy of the original.

Sadly the fate of Earth Mark 2 is left unclear as the project is axed or suspended some time later by the Mice when they learn of Arthur Dent’s survival.

2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

The High Evolutionary decides to build his own copy of Earth borne of his fascination with humanity and its planet.

Then he destroys it out of spite some time after it was completed. Along with all the poor buggers living on it.

3. Halo: Point of Light (2021)

“We have fully emerged into Bastion’s atmosphere. Aya. I am dumbstruck. I know what I behold even though it seems impossible. Of all the designs and models and world inspirations the Librarian could have selected… and she chose Earth as her template.”

- 343 Guilty Spark.

A plot thread lingering from Halo 5 that was FINALLY answered six years later in a book.

After her secret mission to Path Kethona. The Librarian had a custom shield world built to serve as a kind of safe haven for an early stage of the reborn Precursors. Among many other things

This world, known as Bastion, was modelled after Earth, due to her love of humanity. It would remain hidden, accessible only through a portal in the Orion Complex.

Kind of speaks for itself.

DracariOctober #8

Woah! How did a Wailord suddenly fall out of the sky on an alien planet? Good thing our Dracario was there to catch him and... a small pot of petunias!? We raised another $41.69 today for the South Sound Reading Foundation! Can we get a donation every day this month? Only time will tell! This year we're supporting the South Sound Reading Foundation in honor of Mondomonger/Axelroo. Thank you for being there for me for a decade! https://www.southsoundreading.org/ This year's interactions are going to be a little spicier! We're only going to be increasing heights by a little bit per interaction, but Donations will begin to exponentially compound the results! The earlier the bigger, the better, and borkier! Voting will be for the next day's theme! Since we're supporting a Literacy Foundation this year, I'll select four possible literary worlds to draw our Derggo into at their given height! Each one will only appear once, so vote carefully! So how do we make this Dracario bigger? You can help! Right now, here's how much Interactions are worth: Likes = 44mm Retweets = 110mm Voting in the Poll =44mm Woah, these are still so small! What can we do to change that? Every $1 donated will exponentially begin to increase these values per day, compounding +0.1% per dollar. That means the earlier you donate, the more growth it will compound down the line, and if my math checks out, he could be getting pretty huge, but will they stay on Earth? Only your donations will tell! Right now, that multiplier is at 2.048, and that means values will be more than doubling the rest of the month! likes will be worth over a thousand kilometers at least on the final day! Let's see how big we can grow! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=H6ZB8M7EJ4QKE I will be counting Likes as Liking on Twitter or Favoriting on FurAffinity. I'd like to do more sites but I don't want to spend too much time collecting data when I could be doodling Derggo! Retweets will count both Twitter and Bluesky! Voting will count from the Twitter poll attached to the thread, or by visiting StrawPoll here: https://strawpoll.com/kjn18R6bLyQ
