The Shadow Of Mount Rainier Causing A Gap In The Sunset.
Wrong: Darkness Beam Attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I wonder if people from outside the PNW understand that Mount Rainier... is a cryptid.
Like ok so first, you don't just "see it in X place on the horizon", because the PNW is perpetually cloudy or hazy, so you forget it fooken exists for months at a time and then suddenly BAM, MOUNTAIN.
Second, the way north-south highways fishtail around creates this very unsettling illusion where it seems to drift from the left side to the right side of the road and back again. It only takes a few degrees of road curvature for it to happen, so it seems like you're driving straight and yet... there it goes again...
Finally, and I cannot stress this enough, we all talk about how it will kill us all some day like you might talk about a particularly interesting cactus in your neighborhood. Oh yeah, one of these days, pyroclastic mud flow, pow, there goes Tacoma, and like 8 other towns, also the peninsula will be inaccessible for months when it finally goes.
That darkness beam though, that's a new power I didn't know about. That ol' bastard got a few more tricks up its sleeve yet.
Surely that would be a sunrise, not a sunset?
