Hey, y'all! A friend (and subscriber) is looking for some objective feedback and constructive criticism on a sci-fi series he has been working on, and this video is his appeal for such. I personally have read all of his finished work thus far, and I can certainly say I have enjoyed the series. However, it may be that, as a friend, I have a bit of emotional investment in his work, so as I mentioned before, as an aspiring author, he is looking to expand his audience and get as much feedback as possible! Here's the link to his video, so be sure to pop by and leave a link and consider checking his work out (link to first book in the description or here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18RtuVFl87eePNVQ47Hbjq1dYkq2F8OUsOggg4Gtlj-c/edit)!

A friend of mine and I were talking about instances in sci-fi stories where a character has a romantic relationship with a robot of some sort, and I asserted that I can only take such relationships seriously to a certain degree--like, I can appreciate the cuteness of it, but I can't hold it to the same level of depth and wonder as I would with any other (heterosexual) relationship since, as I insinuated, every romantic relationship will ultimately, sooner or later become sexual in nature since the deepest desire and longing of the human heart is not only to be loved but also to be KNOWN as to be loved and to love IS to be vulnerable (as the Scriptures say, "Adam knew Eve, and she conceived").

This got me thinking about how alien of a concept that truly is to the folks in the Bionicle universe. Although they are living, and although they can have romantic feelings for each other, none of the humanoid Bionicles (the Matoran, Toa, etc.) can procreate--they don't really need to anyway since they can live forever. This, however, got me thinking further that not only can they therefore not be ultimately known in that sense, but in fact, being seemingly not known AT ALL is a Bionicle's very identity.

What does every Bionicle have? A mask. Without it, they are weaker and lose part of who they are, and in some cases, like the Bohrok, they don't function at all. So to conceal their "nakedness" from each other is in of itself their true identity, not the mask FOR their true identity.

Sounds kinda lonely to be honest...

Got to expand my experience with Matt Leacock's games (Pandemic: The Cure) with Victor Liu the other day, who also didn't bother to tell me it was a Matt Leacock game when asking me what difficulty I wanted (I picked Standard over Intro), which is kinda vital information since his games are hard. Naturally, the first game didn't go so well, so we played again on Intro difficulty. The game was going pretty smoothly until somebody apparently knocked over a shelf full of disease samples, cuz on Victor's last turn of the game, he managed to roll ALL Biohazard symbols (which can't be rerolled), which caused quite the mess for my last turn. Thankfully, we were still able to win, but man--it went from 0 to 100 real quick!😂😱

Imagining if wokesters completely took over the textile industry:
- Wool gets banned cuz it's taking from sheep despite the fact sheeving sheep is actually good for them.
- Polyester gets banned cuz it's plastic and ergo from fossil fuels, and those are evil.
- Silk gets banned cuz it's taken from Silkworms, spiders, etc.
- Cotton gets banned cuz it reminds people of slavery.

So, basically, we'll all just be naked...

Yoda trains Count Dooku.
Dooku trains Qui Gon Jinn.
Qui Gon trains Obi Wan Kenobi.
Obi Wan trains Anakin Skywalker.
Anakin, aka Darth Vader, trains Galen Merek, aka Starkiller.

Makes Yoda's interaction with Starkiller in the 2nd Force Unleashed more meaningful, don't it?

09/08/2023

Why would it be so terrible to have a canon movie with Starkiller at his true power level?

First of all, Rey.
Second of all, Disney already flirted with the idea of casting Brie Larsen as a force-user more powerful than Luke and Vader COMBINED--right, cuz THAT'S not outrageous at all.

Thirdly, though, there's a reason Galen Merek is as powerful as he is: he's the paradoxically unstable balance between the light and the dark side of the Force, making him a sort of avatar of the Force itself.

Plot twist:

Corvus Corax disappears into the Warp and became mutated by it in the fallout of the Horus Heresy, becoming Raven Beak himself, and then left the Warp into a different time and became one of the surrogate fathers of Samus Aran, which would then mean...
..that Samus is part Primarch.

One of the perks of YouTube premium is not having to see these particular ads I despised for this app called Cliffhanger.

Basically, Cliffhanger was a text-message based horror story app, marketed to me by the algorithms since I do like listening to at least allegedly true horror stories. So why did I hate the ads? Well, about 4 reasons:

1. The texts we were voice acted...that is, if you could call it "acting." Terrible.

2. The content was very cliche and pretty much always the same thing.

3. The stories almost always included kids doing PRECISELY what their parents JUST told them NOT to do.

The worst part, though, was...

4. At the end of each ad, the story always split off into two different choices of what the next message was, which COMPLETELY removed ANY possibility that this was a true story or that if even COULD HAVE BEEN a true story, which is exactly what makes scary stories scary--the remotest idea that it COULD happen and happen to YOU.

The terrifyingly beautiful and tragic symmetry in the prequel trilogy I just noticed was in John's Williams's use of the funeral theme:

The first time was for Qui-Gon Jinn's funeral, the first real pivotal moment leading to Anakin's downfall, and it is in this scene where Anakin asks Obi-Wan what will become of him with Obi-Wan promising he will become a Jedi as the melody plays a bit of the Force theme, and it is also where Yoda points out, "Always two there are, no more, no less: a master and an apprentice."

The final reprise of the funeral theme is for Padme...AND for Anakin, and the part of the music that plays for the final scene with Vader and Sidious is The Revenge of the Sith not only features that Force theme bit--darkly echoing Kenobi's promise he will become a Jedi...only now, he is a Sith--but also roughly the same part of the music that plays when Yoda mentions the Rule of Two plays during the last 2 shots of Vader and Sidious with the music morphing into Vader's theme for the last shot of the two, as if the music is echoing Yoda's words and adding at the end, "...and now the apprentice is Anakin Skywalker himself."

A curious coincidence, even "Hmmm..."-worthy:

Spider-Man 3 and Metroid Prime 3, both of which deal with an alien, corrupting symbiotic substance that grants great power that the hero must overcome internally, only to battle it externally by duelling a monstrous doppelganger, both released in 2007.

Put together this old friend tonight, but let me tell you why this one will have the most envied soft spot in my heart out of all the Bionicles I've ever owned:

The last time I had this Bionicle (Pohatu Nuva), I was 7 years old, and although he was my first Toa Nuva, I only got to enjoy having him for ONE day--allow me to explain: my family and I were visiting my mom's best friend and her family, and I left him (at least most of him) and some of my belongings in the van. That night (or perhaps the following, I don't remember), something (I don't remember what) spontaneously combusted in our van, and the whole thing caught fire--it was an inferno!

The following morning, we rummaged through the van's remains, seeing if anything survived. Either I had, for whatever reason, taken Pohatu's mask inside with me and left his body in the van, OR somehow his mask survived unscathed. Regardless, what I do remember and will remember for the rest of my life is that while his body was completely and utterly destroyed by the fire, something else I owned that had been left in that van was my Bible, and while the outside was terribly charred, the inside was completely untouched by the flames.

It was the literal manifestation of Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my Word shall never pass away." It didn't quite sink in at the time just how miraculous it was that my Bible made of paper survived when my high-quality plastic toy completely perished...and now I have him again to remind myself everyday of that amazing time God showed me that His Word is indeed the Living Word.

And if indeed my memory of ONLY his mask surviving in the fire is accurate, then it would seem that God was whispering to me to remember this particular Bionicle, because it was the one I had when the impossible happened.
