Deviation Actions
Been trying for ages - it seems like forever now - to scrape together enough points to promote llamaMarket to Super Group status. I can't offer much more than a hall-of-fame-type feature, but I need all the help I can get. So, if you're feeling extra helpful like, tear on over to Supreme-Points-PLZ and donate! I beg of you!
Death WHAT NOW?
Death Stranding has been on my mind ever since Zeronis posted a female Higgs fanart on Twitter (i have surmised, she has a gold mask, and evidently that means Higgs), but it has NEVER been on my radar. Everyone seemed to love it, but from what I heard, it was basically just a guy carrying a baby in a bottle across a bleak landscape. Just didn't sound remotely interesting. Then, I started hearing about the coming sequel, and now I'm doing a big double take. There's a baby wedged in a birth canal somewhere, weird enough that she seems to have crude oil coming out of her eyes, but then she burps out A SPACESHIP. There's what looks like a zombie autopsy, which of course doesn't end well. Elsewhere an oily guy with no eyebrows shoots lightning bolts out of a guitar to take out bad guys. There's this quietly sultry lady in a beret, gotta love that, nothing *weird* there, until you find out that the gloves draped over her shoulders have a life of their own! And if that wasn't whimsical enough, she hands someone a talking marionette who asks not to be hung off his belt next to his ass. And the big guy doesn't seem to think any of this is that strange. WTH have I been missing??
Terrified of Indifference
Warframe's Man in the Wall scares me more than any other villain ever has. I can't think of another fictional antagonist that scares me anywhere near the way he does. Every time I hear that "hey, Kiddo" on the Orbiter I panic. It's the idea of the Indifference that gets under my skin. He's not necessarily evil or malicious, just curious and completely alien, and what we've seen is the only way he knows how to learn about our world. The idea of "no hard feelings," coupled with his inherently ethereal nature and his doppelganger manifestations just creates this truly ominous feel that simply terrifies me. Like "nothing good can come of this," give me Vecna/Henry/One any day. He's just a normal, everyday "burn it all down" bad guy. Wally? God knows what he wants, if he really wants anything. THAT is scary. It's proper Hitchcock stuff: Alfred Hitchcock said that true horror was all about what you didn't show the audience, the question is always scarier than the answer. And the
Impasse
Though it has proven rather popular (by my standards) I feel that I must take down the outline for Uncivil for now. In its current form, it is very, very unfair to Anà, and I fear I lack the ability to imagine how her actions in this chain of events would play out. I understand her motivations, but I can't figure out how to apply those motivations in the narrative in a way that allows her to remain a sympathetic character while maintaining her opposition to the Lotus. It's a pretty complex situation, and I fear my mildly autistic brain is not equipped for the task. I will try, however, and I find that when I finally bring myself to write, it just flows. Maybe transcribing what I have to another format will help.
One Christian's theory on nonlinear time
Let's unpack this slowly:
I saw a video a while ago explaining how a 4-dimensional sphere could be perceived in our 3-dimensional perceptual reality. He started by posing the question of how entities in a 2-dimensional space would experience a three-dimensional sphere. They would simply see a circle, right? Well, to give these beings a better sense of the true nature of the sphere, rather than simply placing it across the 2-dimensional plane, let's have it move through that space - in this experiment, our third dimension essentially becomes the 2-dimensional space's analogue of time. The circle of the sphere would appear, then grow, then shr
