Husk's Backstory Of Growing Up In A Casino Couldn't Have Happened
A common feature I notice of Vivizepop is that she does the minimal amount of research into characters and just does it for the aesthetic. One character's backstory I noticed as a resident of Las Vegas is the fact that he was raised in a casino, while being implied to have been born in the 1900's. As someone who actually has gotten to know Las Vegas History this would be impossible, because although the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino was first opened in 1906, gambling was banned in Vegas until 1931. If she was being more accurate she would be depicting him growing up in an underground casino which would be more accurate. I don't know if they had magical acts back then, but that would be more accurate for when in the 30's when Las Vegas was becoming more of a thing. Again while people point out inaccuracies in Angel Dust and Alastor's backstories and designs, I do think Husk should have a mention.
Was just tortured with an hour of geological history. Summary of the earth's development: EXPLODE. Dust, roll dust up planet. LAVA, crust. ASTEROIDs brings so much water. We are only water. LIFE- nvm LAVA. Life is back! ITS REALLY COLD. death! LIFE! live for a while giv work take some death. LAVA whoops dead. WERE BACK -nvm MORE LAVA. Oops killed everyone for a while. LIFE BIG LIFE! . EXPLOSION death to everyone except the underground mamals! LIFE! Cold af. LIFE LAVA LIFE LAVA WATER? EXPLOSION! WATER? LAVA! WATER! LIFE
That's basically what it is. The ocean was pink for a little bit tho, that was pretty cool. Then more lava so rip.
Everything that you’ve ever known about crystals is wrong. The simple yet elegant rocks that ties us mere mortals to the world’s fertile soil. You’ve probably searched up many times which stone correlates to when you were born. Aries’ pressurized diamonds to Pisces’ aquamarine. One used for stress relief, the other stimulating creativity. Looking at them, you wouldn’t think about the many wars and political conflicts they’ve played a role in. Thus I believe it’s time we stepped back and got an even clearer reflection of crystals. That is if you pray to not lose your coveted gems.
The intro reel plays, the text on screen reading ‘Factually True and Real History with Ted Nivison.’ A few images cascade behind the text, one being of the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, while it gradually scales in size. Now you see Ted standing in front of a grassy knoll, you can assume it’s a green screen as it looks akin to Microsoft’s home screen.
Most would believe that the first big boom for crystals was New Age mysticism that arose in the 1980s but in actuality, they’ve been around since Ancient Egyptian. A ‘mini me’ form of Ted standing in the original’s hand. This revelation came with the discovery of clay tablets with magic formulas inscribed in hieroglyphics. Because this might come as a surprise to most of you, they did not have Staples. A picture of Staples green-screened, the smaller Ted becoming aware of larger Ted. That kinda blew my mind when I found out. What the fuck? The mini Ted disappeared now. The Parthenos now set behind them.
Most of what we know regarding crystals comes from the Ancient Greeks. The word crystal derives from the word cryo. Before battle, Greek soldiers would rub hematite on themselves. Oxidation gives the crystal it’s pristine rusted color, closely associating it with Ares, their god of war. One such battle being the Trojan war, historians claim it was over the prized Helen of Troy but this is incorrect. Paris of Troy stealing her from her husband, Sparta’s king. A clip of the film 300’s protagonist yelling Sparta appears on screen. Rather it was what Helen possessed, a coveted amethyst necklace. The war itself almost destroyed the economy, allowing for the Romans to easily take over the omega filled population destitute of alphas. And the amethyst necklace unfortunately lost to time.
Now let’s talk about the Victorians. A flash of puffy powdered wigs appearing on screen, different pieces of clothing; petticoats, feathered hats, waistcoat pockets holding watches. In 1829, Sir Boris Peel established London’s Metropolitan police force. They quickly garnered a corrupt reputation, referred to as spokes, cracking down on jewelry related robberies. Opals, rubies, & pearls most sought after. Women took to sewing them into their clothes, secret pockets when women’s clothing still had them. Further incorporating them into spring bonnets men on the hands of their watches. As tradition, peer pressure from the deceased goes, this is where aristocratic families willing beloved heirlooms to their descendants originated. As they later traveled to the adventurous new-beginnings of the Colonies, so did these possessions.
The east coast having settled, needing more room to stretch their legs, these ambitious settlers journeyed out west finding specks of gold in the Rocky mountains. They kept part of their finds separate, off the record. Only setting up shop after the glorious centers of attention turned to dust, haunted by their lustrous ghosts. Developing the tricks of the trade, mentoring others under their careful thumb. Hitting the 1980s, with the New Age movement, those jewels repurposed into anchors of healing as we entered the Age of Aquarius. Ted looks to the hourglass sitting on their mantle, the sand at the top now all at the bottom. Ah, it looks like we’re out of time. Thank you so much for joining me on this episode of Factually True History. I’m your host, Ted Nivison. Thanks for watching…or reading. It cuts to them waving, as the camera pans outward, the same intro playing, repeating as the outro.
