hello there! i'm eldritch!

i'm an artist mainly, but like to ramble a lot and shitpost. a nonbinary queer possum, go by he/him and they/them.

i use full stops but it means nothing. i'm ok with anyone liking a big amount of posts in a row (and sure as hell do that myself). i'm also ok with mature tags to my posts/artworks.

main brain rot:

dragon age (very pro-mage and pro-elven, someone who really likes cullen won't be happy here, anders was right, main romances are alistair+leliana+morrigan, anders+isabela+fenris, the iron bull; also enjoy isabela x merrill and adoribull and various other ships);

detroit: become human (i used to be a very active creator for it, not much now, but i'm always happy to see dbh content. i ship reed900, reed1800, gavnor, hanvin, i'm really into trash possums, i guess);

genshin impact (started playing at 3.5, scaraether brain rot is so strong it revived me, i'm ok with most of the popular pairings).

i also appear sometimes in the arcane fandom (really like studying jinx and silco's family relationships, also passively ship timebomb (and caitvi, but why are they not my girlfriends *sigh*)).

i'm over eighteen and can touch on mature topics, but not in detail.

tags:

[#scaraether] for scaraether brainrot,

[#oc: neria surana] or [#warden surana] for my warden,

[#oc: garrett hawke] or [#hawke] for, surprise, my hawke,

[#oc: allaros lavellan] or [#inquisitor lavellan] for my inquisitor,

[#rn9] or [#reed1800] or [#rk1800] for polyamorous ship of gavin reed and two rk900.

[#platoniccereal art] for my art,

[#my post] for everything i write or create that is not art,

[#%game name% playthrough] for my notes whenever i play something.

different character tags for every character and ship, here it's pretty basic.

silly low effort sketch.

original from:

[platoniccereal]

i saw so many lore discussions (for obvious reasons) about the long day in the mountains but not enough about the main theme there. which is suicide.

it's so open and forefront about this topic. i believe the english translation is so much more vague about it, though, whereas in my language, the translation is very blunt.

both sisters went on the mountain with the decision to say goodbye to this world. the whole quest IS their farewell.

i'm charmed by how the text handles it. zeitlind and raumhilde aren't overly energetic, but they're both bright and benevolent girls. yet time and time again it is clearly said that they both crave for their ending. they're depressed, and the quest feels melancholic. which is on topic, of course.

zeitlind is very blunt about it with istoria, too. she talks about the graves, the epitaphs, her sister's passing and her last note, collecting mementos and how insignificant human's life is in the face of the temple of space. the topic of death is something she's very familiar with because of how much she thought about it, it seems.

zeitlind is calmly determined, and istoria cannot sway her. istoria tries to confirm again and again, have you fallen in love with this world yet? she says he lost their debate.

she says if her sister hadn’t lost everything she once remembered, she would never have chosen to go on living. she says the only two choices for her now are either to lose her memories like raumhilde did or to return with them and lay in the grave her sister left empty.

so it is the only possible ending for her apathy after the long day in the mountains. zeitlind returns without any memories because otherwise she would never have chosen to go on living.

we really don't talk about this enough.

abyss? don't worry we have hell in our heaven too. :)

the horrors beyond human comprehension? oh yes the heavens create them like no other. :)

after you end up in our heaven you will dream of the abyss. :)

Its actually so important to me that Ryland Grace is a teacher. Not a professor, not someone at the top of their field teaching the smartest people, but a middle school science teacher. Of course he figured out how to communicate with an alien in under a day. His main expertise is explaining complex subjects to a group that doesnt have the vocabulary or context to fully understand them. He knows exactly how to simplify things down to its core principles without sacrificing any of the scientific logic. And he knows how to do it without having to throw around hyperspecific terminology.

one thing from project hail mary the book that i really wish theyd made clear in the movie is that when grace makes the decision to save rocky instead of go back to earth, he is prepared to die. like i understand why the movie had to cut a lot from the book for pacing and it wasnt exactly necessary to include the whole sub-subplot where rocky and grace figure out that there is nothing on erid that is safe for humans to consume, but it would have been worth a passing mention at some point, because grace goes back for rocky knowing that even if rocky takes him to erid, he will still die there, because there is nothing he can eat. the only reason he survives is by eating taumoeba, which is a solution rocky comes up with only after grace saves him and admits to him that he came to his rescue fully prepared to die.

the movie really breezes past rocky's rescue and the time skip, and it never explains why choosing to save rocky is so monumental in the first place: it answers the central question grace is grappling with for the whole movie. "who would i die for?" he doesn't just go back for rocky because it's the right thing to do. he sacrifices himself to save rocky. he is ready to die if it means rocky will live.

I haven't been able to stop tearing up about Artemis II. How beautiful is this planet, this galaxy, this whole space? How beautiful is creation? How beautiful is it to see humans gather and celebrate science/STEM? To break records for mankind in being the farthest distance from Earth recorded?

Reid Wiseman, the commander of Artemis II, lost his wife Carroll in 2020 after a 5 year long breast cancer battle. But Carroll and their two daughters encouraged Reid to continue following his dreams of being an astronaut. Today, as they went around the moon, they announced one of the brightest moon craters to be named Carroll.

“It's a bright spot on the Moon. And we would like to call it Carroll."

What a day to be alive, to be human, to be part of this creation we call life.

(Image is astrophotographer Ildar Ibatullin colors are exaggerated to show the landscape and minerals of the moon. Thank you Artemis II crew and NASA, and everyone past and current, who has been able to give us this.)

the artemis mission. naming the crater carroll. expressing love from the furthest point anyone's travelled from the earth.

it all really IS i plead to the stars shining in the night but i'm met with a reflection of your eyes inside their light. :(

In an incredibly touching moment during the Artemis II lunar flyby, the crew have named two new lunar craters Integrity and Carroll. Integrity being named for the spacecraft which carried them to the Moon, and Carroll for Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife.

I just really love how human this mission feels. Both the crew and the ground making fun jokes and references ("amaze, amaze, amaze!") or things like Glover saying "hello baby!" to his family back on Earth, or how "moon joy" has become the team's favorite phrase, or those craters being named "Integrity" and "Carroll," or the astronauts being encouraged to describe how seeing the moon makes them feel (and doing so to a moving degree), and also describing how much working and talking together improves their capabilities on all fronts, and both sides constantly telling each other how excited they are and that there's "smiles all around" Not that missions like Apollo never had stuff like this, but it's different hearing it all live. Wonderful experience all around.
