hi does anyone wanna join my modded minecraft rp server ? general over all story is that all of the characters present are from different worlds across the multiverse and brought to this world (the muttliverse) because their worlds are dying or broken !! the world is hosted by gods most strangest lamb, mutt :D
it’s 18+ so. will not be posting a link publicly but if any one is interested please feel free to dm me !!! (I WILL WARN AS WELL it’s HEAVILY modded, so while we have a good handful of performance mods that help a lot, it can be a lot on the pc)
We're back, baby. And what a start for the third act. My crime board is a little dusty after such a long hiatus and I'll have to revisit the older episodes at some point to get my bearings, but here are some initial thoughts anyway.
As always, spoilers under the cut.
First of all, I am very afraid for the wellbeing of everyone. Especially Teddy and Luke. The water imagery in Luke's band names is still giving Mercury to me, and I fear he's going through something bad off-screen. Teddy is clearly going through something bad on-screen. More old technology, huh. I'm dying to know who his employer is.
Then Gwen and her attempts at finding archived documents. Gone since 2021. I can't remember if anything happened around that time, it would've been between podcasts. So who got rid of them, and why? Starkwall? Fr3d1? William Price? Lena, for some reason? Trevor Herbert, who's actually secretly the villain? Someone really wants to keep the OIAR workers in the dark of what they're actually doing, which still makes me think that the audience is also being kept in the dark. I maintain that the secret goal is Fr3d1's Becoming, but I don't have a coherent idea of who's behind it.
Okay, casement time. Tasty, tasty alchemy. If by alchemy you mean Amnesia: The Dark Descent. A man building a torture device to catalyse his own human transmutation. Curiously, the DPHW is 3456 (suspiciously sequential but brushing past that), placing both Death and Pain rather low. Which makes me wonder if it's actually measuring Boyle's dread rather than W's. Maybe a combination of both, like a general output . Also curious that Augustus would choose to show this case to Gwen. It illuminates the metaphysics, but to what end? "To write them is to give them form they should not have, for form is what they desire most of all." Words have power, thoughts doubly so.
So obviously dark quintessence is not a real concept. Quintessence is the purest, most perfect matter born from perfect balance. What Boyle is talking about seems to be a perversion of it, some sort of unholy unity born from a spiritual imbalance. Mutare Materia, famous from Dr. Welling's research project by the same name. So they might have actually named what I have so far been calling Mercury, ie. the morphing concepts that can be forced to take form. It would make sense why the Institute had their Outreach Centers near the rifts, where reality seems to be the most malleable. I'm still holding onto Colin's outburst about Sulphur and Mercury as a meaningful part of the puzzle, but I'm also acknowledging that it could have been random. Although I will be disappointed if none of the alchemical concepts amount to anything.
Anyway, this also makes it crystal clear to me that Dr. Welling never intended for the Millenial Dome to produce a balanced output of positive and negative energy. He wanted to bring out the fear and see a worldwide transmutation similar to the Eyepocalypse. He was thoroughly Magnus-pilled, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's still around somewhere and becomes relevant later. Wouldn't it be funny if the W from the case was him all along.
That's it from me, I will continue to mull over stuff in my overactive head while I shirk my adult responsibilities.
by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?
