I think Star Wars stories with Rey going forward should really roll with the fact that she was-briefly-dead

Have Rey be a little off, have her know things she shouldn't but struggles to explain to others because it's not something you should be able to comprehend unless you've been to the afterlife of the Force, have her display an unnerving calmness about stuff, have Rey be able to so easily see through people and cut deep into them, have her feel more comfortable with the spirits of the departed than with the living, have her be an undeniable force of good, but one that is unsettling in it's knowledge and understanding of the universe

Everyone Loooves to think of what a fourth spatial dimension would look like. But no one wants to imagine a second temporal dimension. Why not make an inverse of reality? Why don't people want to imagine a world that has one spatial dimension and three temporal dimensions. Imagine it NOW.

Why not have an order three of dimensions, instead of having just an order two. IE: temporal dimensions, spatial dimensions and a secret third, more Eldritch dimension.

Why stop there, why don't we create a world where time is literally a circle (or more accurately, a cosine wave). As one goes through the day, things seem to get faster and faster until noon. After noon it seems like everything is getting slower, then at midnight time slows down so much, that everything seems perfectly still. Now everything is going back in time, still slowly though. It's noon again, but this time you are going backwards rather than forwards. In this world would it even be possible to tell when time is running forwards rather than backwards?

on eldritch knowledge and such

I've been thinking about waht they say about eldritch knowledge being knowledge you get for a second and then disappears and I feel like it's the type of knowledge you know the moment you get it, it's supposed to change your life. like this completely alters my perspective on what it means to be alive.

but instead. I forget it in the morning. all those glimpses of a different life, a different perspective on every experience you have, that suddenly makes everything make sense. all those agonizing moments coming of age not knowing who you are are and how to know wrong from right, and what the difference is when you subtract black from white. and it all makes sense.

and then that life that was content that you could have had, suddenly seems to really truly be missing something. where once there was a vague emptiness with un-neatly trimmed edges and hazy in betweens- now there is a distinctly shaped hole and you know there is something missing, so you know the silhouette so you feel you could find it, it feels so simple now. but you never will find it, but now you can never ignore it.

I know this is just an elongated version of what others have said but that's what we're here for isn't it?

Eldritch knowledge

Zombies are scary because of fear of the other and their ability to pass on this other-ness to otherwise normal humans, thus qualifying them as Lovecraftian horror.

shaking this entire fucking field by the shirt lapels. why does 'celtic revival' refer to like seven different things. why has no one else catalogued them yet. get your collective shit together.
