Trillion Rituals
Despite my fixation on Haunted Hotel slowly fading against my will, I still find episode 10 one of the most insane concepts I have seen in fiction. No character will ever be able to beat Abaddon in a contest of loyalty or dedication. Because wdym you lived another 1.4 TRILLION YEARS (since the universe is 14 billion years old and he got sent to the dawn of time 100 times) JUST because you wanted to rescue the "blip" and her family that you knew for a few years at most (saying "a few" since we don't know how long ago Nathan actually got the hotel and found Abaddon, and the rest of the family likely came to visit from time to time before moving in after Nathan died). Like thats legitimately insane to me.
And I thought shit like Wings of Fire (Freedom trapped with Cottonmouth for 5000 years) or Hilda (the mountain giant guy waiting for 4000 years) or Steven Universe (basically every gem characters long lasting trauma) was crazy. Does not compare by any means. Like 1 billion is an INSANE number, let alone 1 trillion. I'll never get over that.
I'm never feeling bad for another immortal fictional character again. Idgaf how long you waited for whatever I guarantee it is not even a fraction in comparision
"unless... you werent just a blip" OH YOU THINK?? DID YA JUST FIGURE THAT OUT? 1.4 TRILLION YEARS OF THIS AND YA JUST REALIZED?
1.4 TRILLION FUCKING YEARS??
Elon not doing much to fight the “out of touch evil Billionaire” accusations.
WHY NOT !! HGTTG SEQUALS !!
Can we TALK about how The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie just… exists as this lonely, beautiful, weird, slightly chaotic adaptation, and then the universe just decided, "Yeah, that’s enough." Like, excuse me?? Douglas Adams gave us an ENTIRE SAGA. Five books. FIVE. The movie only covers book one, with little sprinkles of book two, and then it just drops off the face of the galaxy.
I’m still mad that Disney (of all corporations, DISNEY) had the rights and then just let them collect dust in some vault somewhere. Like??? You’ll pump out ten thousand Marvel sequels no one even asked for, but you won’t give us The Restaurant at the End of the Universe on the big screen??? Where’s my cinematic shot of an apocalyptic dinner show while the universe literally collapses?? Where’s my Life, the Universe and Everything murder mystery energy?? Where’s my So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish tragic romance arc with Arthur??
The wildest part is, the 2005 film wasn’t even bad, it was charming, funny, colorful, deeply weird in that way only Hitchhiker’s should be. The cast was stacked. The vibes were immaculate. Did it deviate from the books? Yes. Do I care? No. It was the perfect stepping stone to more sequels and yet… nothing. Radio silence. Like the movie itself was wiped away by the Vogons for being "improbably good."
And don’t even get me started on the fact that we live in a timeline where people greenlight three Fantastic Four reboots but I can’t get Zaphod Beeblebrox’s even wilder political career on screen. Justice for the 2005 Hitchhiker’s. I want my Restaurant sequel. I want Marvin back. I want the universe to explode in increasingly silly ways.
Anyway, I’m not saying I’d personally start a low-budget indie GoFundMe campaign to film Mostly Harmless in someone’s garage with cardboard props, but I’m also not saying that I wouldn't.

Billion and Trillion prices down to Million and Billion.
O hey. It's me again. Because i frankly ain't got the energy of saying anything profound or comprehensively structured rn. And i have a tummy ache.
Imma just throw some reduncolous nubers at ya. So. Allwind. It's a setting i am working on. It got humans. And elfs. And dragons.
And elfs live like 300-500 years, depending on their job and bloodline.
But dragons live for up to a million. But. No god up here other than me. And they gotta have evolved somehow. So i give you. Twenty billion earth years. The dragons of allwind in their modern form have existed for longer than the universe of real life. They have evolved over trillions, though. Noone could ever trace the common ancestor between dragons and everything else(saves me the work of having to come upwith one), because that. Was ten trillion years ago. Approximately ten trillion years ago the first species evolved to traverse The Void, from world that no longer exists. The Allseed is the hypotheical world where all life originated. It couldn't have lasted until today though, and even if it did, despite worlds being held together by magic crystals that lose power after 50 billion years on average. It's probably so far away only a dragon could reach it.
The protodragons have carried early life forms from there onto all other worlds on their own very selves. There's also this sapient humanoid race from fuck knows how far away that came riding a dragon, like it's a fucking generation ship. They've been at it for thousands of years, and aren't closely related to anyone else, they just evolved convergently.
And no, i am not forgetting how time works. Galactic empires rose and fell in mere millenia, dragons are just above it all. And also. Everything in the more or less isolated region that all things i have thought of take place in have much, much closer common ancestors. Only a few billions years ago, brought in by them damn dragons.
Anyway. Hope that was fun.
Also. There's this existential horror story. It's in-universe fiction. About an infinitely big relatively flat wall. And noone can comprehend it, which is why it's scary.
and it's totally possible too, because allwind has no fundamental particles, so scale is as relative as everything else, which means that the square cube law doesn't actually matter(how we got dragons btw). and this means that. essentially. everything is the same on every scale(isn't the case in real life).
This is what a trillion dollars in cash would look like.
This fiscal situation is not getting any better. That’s because the federal government is spending more than it’s bringing in with taxes. A lot more.
