Do you want to get into ALIEN STAGE but don't know how?
Introducing the Intro to ALIEN STAGE Masterdoc! I've compiled the MVs + lore relevant or older official media for you to better understand the story :) (among other things)
please share this around if you need to :)
please note that I did all of this alone so might be a few mistakes in release orders and other things 💀
Please please feel free to suggest things that I can add or fix
I tried to give the feeling I had when I was waiting for each release and lore drop in real time
also there isn't any like purely wholesome or miscellaneous art that doesn't have any lore/tidbits or foreshadowing attached to it because I feel like you can find those on your own after seeing everything else
comics are a little different but most of them are important so i put most
Alien Stage is so crazy to me because it’s. It’s about many things but what stands out to me the most is how the children of Anakt Garden during times of extreme hardship and fear and literal alien colonization, instead of looking toward some omniscient being(s) for salvation or succumbing to cynicism/nihilism, they look toward each other to find hope. All it takes is a connection with one person, just one instance of butterflies in a society where things like love and romance are all but obsolete, and now they’re making that person their God their reason to live and breathe and wake up every morning. (Or, in some cases, to give up their lives. If it means protecting the life of their beloved.) And it’s like. It’s as if what sets us apart from aliens or simply what makes us human is our capacity to whole-heartedly, unabashedly love one another. Even to the end of ourselves.
Ivan doesn't see Till either. Ivan doesn't see the way Till is loving him, in his own way, because he's fixated on the version of another ideal vision of love. Ivan didn't see the things Till did to keep him close when they were children. Ivan sees things for the surface level, Ivan sees Till for what he can give Ivan without giving Ivan a sign to look deeper. As blind as Till was to Ivan, Ivan was just as blind to Till in his own right
imagining till repeating 'cheer up' to ivan's corpse...not even being able to stay there for long due to the alien's favoritism for ivan even in death, so he only gets a few more minutes with ivan's body.. and...it's never enough, there has never been enough time. not for him, not for mizi, not sua, nor ivan.
luka can go fuck himself by the way.
god isn't real, the aliens made damn sure they knew that at least.
