Pretty-Rage & Kamen Haida: Part 1

Narrator: Tokyo. A bustling metropolis for the modern age. A prime target for the imperialistic forces of the Byriam Empire, whose goal is to conquer, or destroy, every single being on Earth. But not to fear! For within these city walls lie two of the greatest heroes of our generation! Both are seemingly normal accountants in a boring day job. But secretly, they are the magical red panda of love, Pretty-Rage, and the hyena hero of justice, Kamen Haida! Together, both in battle, and in matrimony, they swore to keep the city safe, and the Byriams at bay. Here they are now, walking with their trusted friend, and tech associate, Fenneko, and their precious son, Ikari, talking about protecting the Earth, no doubt!

Retsuko: Agh, I can’t believe I forgot to pack myself a lunch today! I skipped breakfast too!

Haida: Retsuko, it’s alright! We’ll just quickly walk by some place, and get something for you to eat.

Fenneko: No can do. We’re crunched for time, Ton’s got a lot of work for us.

Haida: ...who told y-Tsunoda?

Fenneko: Tsunoda.

Haida: Figured.

Retsuko: Well, there’s a convenience store coming up, you sure we can’t ju-*noticing a fight breaking out in front of the store*

Haida: ...come on! *the two run towards the two men fighting*

Customer: *pinning the store clerk to the ground* You son of a bitch! You gonna rob your customers too?!

Store Clerk: I-I’m so sorry! I don’t understand it, myself!

Haida: *pulling the customer back* Hey, HEY! Cool it!

Retsuko: *gets the store clerk back up* What’s going on, here?!

Customer: People are starving out here, that’s what!

Haida: ...huh?

Fenneko: *looking inside the store* Uh, guys? I think you might wanna see this.

*they look inside, and see all the food in the convenience store is gone! Not a single morsel left!*

Retsuko: ….what?!

Customer: It’s not just here! The whole town is out of food! Restaurants, lunch rooms, everywhere! I don’t know what kinda strike, or prank this is, but I won’t stand for it! *storms away*

Haida: What the hell…?

Today’s episode: Retsuko’s Starvation! The Gluttonous Monster Attacks!

*later at work…*

Retsuko: *stomach starts growling badly* Why today? WHY?

Fenneko: You know, you give yourself crap for this, but actually, I was gonna make myself something for breakfast, but I couldn’t find anything in my place.

Haida: ….come to think of it, I didn’t see anything in our place too! I know we’re not the richest, but we CAN’T be that broke.

Ton: *distant* WHERE IS MY TEA?!

Tsubone: THERE WAS NONE MADE! WE CHECKED!

Ton: WHAT?! Ugh, *stomping over to check* as if the women in here aren’t lazy enough already! ….wait, where is everything?!

*the other employees begin running towards the tearoom, to discover, like was revealed earlier, there is no consumable object in sight*

Haida: ...oh, I hoped that was just an exaggeration.

Fenneko: Okay, something is going on. Come on. *she grabs out her laptop, and places it on the lunch table the three usually sit*

Retsuko: You think it’s the Byriam?

Fenneko: “Think?” Retsuko, I know. We just gotta figure it out. Lucky me, I happened to hack into all the major security cameras in Tokyo.

Haida: ….why?

Fenneko: The less you know, the better. Anyway, it’s apparently been going on all morning, so let’s see if we can figure out what happened last night. *opens up software, to reveal, indeed, security footage spread all across the city* And it looks like the cannibals are out and about this lovely day.

Retsuko: *seeing people attack one another* Good grief…

Fenneko: Anyhoo! Let’s see if we can turn back time a wee bit. *starts rewinding footage, to last night, early in the morning* Now, let’s take a looksie at the convenience store we checked out. *finds the cameras for the store, and checks out the footage*

*at around 2:00 AM, the back door flies open, and suddenly a ton of food starts floating out, into the sky…*

Fenneko: ...what the fu-

Haida: Look! *he sees other cameras, showing food from all across Tokyo, floating off, in a similar way* What’s going on?!

Fenneko: Actually, look. It’s not all going to the sky, looks like it’s going to that forest over there.

Retsuko: ...isn’t that Koajiro Forest?

Haida: ...we should probably check it out.

Retsuko: Let’s go! *the two almost take off, before her dress is tugged by something* Huh?

Ikari: Mamaaaa! *whines a little, as an audible growl can come from his stomach*

Retsuko: Aw, Ikari! *pats his head* We’ll get you something to eat soon. Okay, sweetums? *to Fenneko* Can you get him, like, some water, or something, to hold him over?

Fenneko: I can try.

Retsuko: Thanks. *to Haida* Come on!

*the two begin to run off, as the rest of the office is trying to find something resembling food*

Ton: Any luck?!

Komiya: N-no, sir!

Ton: WELL, KEEP LOOKING!

*outside, just on the side of the office building, Retsuko and Haida stand*

Retsuko: *grabbing out a pink microphone, with a heart on top* Ready?

Haida: *revealing his golden belt, with a switch on it* Ready!

*Retsuko twirls the heart on the microphone, and Haida flicks the switch on the belt buckle, as the two do some poses, before shouting out…*

Retsuko and Haida: HENSHIN!

*and with that, they transform, into the adorable, but angry, Pretty-Rage, and the tall, and deadly, Kamen Haida, complete with a motorcycle!*

Kamen Haida: *mounts the motorcycle* Hop on!

Pretty-Rage: *mounts behind him* Let’s figure this out!

Kamen Haida: Right! *drives off, as they head out to Koajiro Forest…*

*meanwhile, in said forest, a gigantic pile of food has been accumulated, by various Byriam foot soldiers (named Cronions), and monitored by two monsters, one being a creature resembling a Kabuki actor, except being considerably obese, named Kuishinbō, and the other being a burnt-red, slim, demonic bird looking being, named Phoenixia*

Kuishinbō: Ohohohohoho! Oh, joyous of days! So much food, ripe for the taking!

Phoenixia: Yes, but this is just the beginning. With all of this, the Earthlings’ energy and morale will be dwindling considerably, giving the empire the perfect time to strike….obviously not the primary concern for you, I imagine.

Kuishinbō: Not at all! *charges at the food pile, and begins chowing down*

*while all this is going down, Pretty-Rage and Kamen Haida are hiding in the bushes, seeing all of this going down*

Kamen Haida: So that’s where it all went.

Pretty-Rage: *getting irritated at the monster eating the food* That bastard...come on! Let’s get them!

Kamen Haida: Right! *the two jump up, causing the Cronions to look around*

Phoenixia: Agh, damn it! They’re here! Get into formation!

*the Cronions prepare themselves, as the two heroes land*

Pretty-Rage: Using my death metal anger to make this a world of happiness! PRETTY-RAGE!

Kamen Haida: A punk at heart trying to bring order to this land! KAMEN HAIDA!

Phoenixia: *sigh* So it appears we meet again.

Pretty-Rage: It appears so, Phoenixia! That food belongs to the civilians of Tokyo! Give it back, now!

Kuishinbō: *jumping up and down* Noooooo! They want to take away my snacks! Cronions! ATTACK!

Cronions: *high pitched squeaks, as they charge towards the two!*

Pretty-Rage: Let’s do this! *jumps up, and screams, causing some Cronions to fall back!*

Kamen Haida: Let’s go! *grabs one goon, and punches it right in the gut, before throwing it aside!*

Phoenixia: Agh! FIRE!

Cronion: *nods, as a few of them grab out uzis, and begin firing at the two heroes!*

Kamen Haida: YIPE! *he and Pretty-Rage jump away from the blast, but when they do, he notices her...squirming* ...are you okay?

Pretty-Rage: *clenching her stomach* I-I’m fine! Come on! *runs after the monster*

Kuishinbō: Ohohoho! Feeling a touch weak, are we? Well, maybe this oughta make you feel worse! *grabs out a sword from his side, and slashes her multiple times, causing her to fly back!*

Pretty-Rage: AAAGH! *falls to the ground, unconscious*

Kamen Haida: PRETTY-RAGE! *runs to her, and looks at Kuishinbō* Bastard!

Kuishinbō: Yooooooo!!! *laughs maniacally* I got one! I got one!

Kamen Haida: Ugh! *charges at the monster, and tries to perform a jump-kick*

Kuishinbō: Ohohoho! *grabs Kamen Haida’s foot, and begins swinging him around*

Kamen Haida: What the-?! *gets sent flying to the ground* GAAH! *hits the dirt, next to his knocked-out comrade* Dammit, we’re not up to full strength! I gotta get you out of here! *picks her up* This is not the end! *runs off*

Phoenixia: Oh, it will be. *to some of the Cronion soldiers* YOU! Go after them!

Kamen Haida: *reaching the motorcycle, and drives off, Pretty-Rage carried on his back* Come on, Retsuko, stay with me here! I’ll find some food for you! Someho-*he suddenly hears gunshots* GAH! WHAT THE-?! *he turns, and sees Cronion soldiers, on motorcycles, firing at them* No, NO! *he sees an exit, and immediately makes the turn*

Cronion: *high-pitched scream, as they TRY to make the turn, but crash*

Kamen Haida: Okay…don’t worry, Retsuko. We’ll get you feeling better…*starts feeling dizzy* …no….no, not now...damn it, now I’m getting hungry...and thirsty….and….tired…*suddenly crashes the bike, leaving the two rolling on the ground on the ground, unconscious*

So, um...as you can see, it’s quite the biggun. :P Yeah, I really wanted this to be one big thing, but I wanted to get something out to you guys, so that there’s something to tide everyone over. And as it turned out, even Part 1 (which is the HALFWAY POINT, I should mind) is a big fella! So, hopefully, you guys enjoy this, while I try to put together part 2.

Entry 03 (20/01/2020): First Ideas!

Hi there!!

I’ve finally made my first concrete steps!! This entry contains three demo pieces I made since the last entry, plus some artwork and graphics I’ve been brainstorming too! The music is purely just me getting ideas down - I wanted to push myself to try and write without being too perfectionistic at this stage just to get the ideas out my head, so the mixing isn’t the greatest (sorry!!)

Due to being pretty busy right now there might not be another entry for a couple of weeks, but I should be able to get back on with the project once I’ve dealt with most of the work on my plate :D

Chapter 7: Huey

The rest of the school week passed by in somewhat of a blur for Huey. The anticipation and excitement grew the closer it came to the weekend, the fantasy of adventure becoming more and more real. He actually forgot to take notes in a couple of classes, too busy fantasising about the trip. He found himself revising everything he knew about Phoenicia, its history, religion, technology, everything. He admittedly couldn’t find a whole lot about the ancient civilisation, which made him a little bit nervous, but the prospect of going on another adventure was enough to assuage his worries.

He had tried to keep the details to himself, not quite knowing how to explain the whole ‘adventuring’ thing to his small circle of friends. He didn’t expect it to last, though. Dewey was nothing if not a drama queen, and Huey very much expected the gossip to be spreading through the school like wildfire by the end of the week.

So, when the end of the week came around and no rumours were to be heard, Huey was pleasantly surprised.

The adults of the house were busy the whole week organizing thing for the trip. Between Della, Donald and Scrooge, the Sunchaser had been thoroughly packed with crates of supplies and equipment. Climbing kits, parachutes, flashlights, rations, first aid kits… it seemed that they were deliberately overpreparing for this trip, and Huey couldn’t be gladder.

Huey had expected Webby to be the most excited for the adventure, and he was indeed proven right. His pink-sporting cousin had been filled with a fervour that he hadn’t seen from her in years. She was jumping from room to room, sliding down the handrails down the main stairs, and excitedly asking family members things about the trip – what monsters they could fight, what kind of treasures they’d score, what kind of traps the place would have, and so on. Her enthusiasm spread across the mansion, and everyone found themselves smiling a lot more.

But probably the most dramatic change was found in Louie. The youngest triplet had gone from dour and withdrawn to bright and happy within the span of a day. He was hanging around with the family more, he hadn’t skipped class since the announcement, he wasn’t even complaining about his medication or Donald’s tuna sandwiches. It very much seemed like Louie was… happy.

Still… something about it seemed off to Huey. The change… it was too swift, too dramatic. Something about it didn’t add up to him.

It was on Thursday evening that Huey caught Louie doing something unusual – reading. He saw him as he was passing by the manor library, sitting in a leather armchair in the corner. A large book rested open in his lap, and a look of disinterest was upon his face.

“…Hey.” Huey greeted him confusedly.

Louie looked up in surprise. “Oh, hey!” He leant back in the chair and swept his hand around the room, chuckling incredulously. “We have a library!”

“…I know.”

“I didn’t.” Louie laughed. “We’ve lived in this house for, like, almost eight years, and I haven’t even seen half the rooms in this place.”

“It is a big house.” Huey remarked, entering the room. The library was nowhere near as extensive as the archives at the Money Bin, consisting of only a few bookshelves and a small desk, but it had a decent selection regardless. Huey approached his brother curiously. “What’re you reading?”

“Uh…” Louie closed the book and looked at the cover. “Ancient Civilisations of the Mediterranean. I was hoping to learn more about the place we’re going… Phoenixia?”

“Phoenicia.”

“Right, that one. It’s not a great read, though.” Louie put the book on a nearby side table. “I’ve been sitting here for, like, an hour just trying to decipher it.”

“You’re, uh… really getting into this.” Huey said hesitantly.

“Yeah, man, I…” Louie shook his head, still smiling. “…I’ve got a good feeling about this. Like, usually I just assume things will suck, but… I feel like this is gonna be really good. No idea why, but I do.”

“…Huh.” Huey said.

Louie looked at him, his eyebrow slowly raising as Huey stood there. “…You good?”

Huey clasped his hands together nervously. “Louie… I know that you want me to stop worrying over you so much…”

“And now would be a great time to start doing that.” Louie said in a low voice.

“Yeah, I just…” Huey sighed and looked at him in the eye. “I just want to know that you’re sure that this is what you want. I don’t want you to do this just because we want to.”

Louie glared at him for a moment, then chuckled humourlessly. “'Are you sure?'” Louie parroted ruefully. He dropped the smile and looked away into the middle distance. “Dude, if I don’t do this, I’m going to be hearing those words for the rest of my life.”

Louie stood up from the chair, putting his hands in his hoodie pockets and looking at Huey expressionlessly. Huey said nothing.

“I don’t want to be babied anymore, Huey.” He said simply. “I want to have the room to take care of myself. And to do that, I need you to stop worrying and just… enjoy the adventure. Like we used to.”

Huey looked at his brother up and down, reading the quiet desperation on his face. He sighed, then he smiled at him. “…Alright.”

Louie smiled back gratefully. “Thanks man… I really-”

“Hey, guys!”

The two brothers turned around to see Dewey standing in the doorway, grinning at the two of them and holding a large plastic object in his hands.

“Me and Webby just came back from the mall, gettin’ new duds for the adventure!” He said eagerly, holding up the object. “How do guys picture me in this?”

Huey’s smile flickered. Dewey was holding a plastic bag containing what looked to be clothes. Within the bag was a piece of cardboard, displaying some duck wearing a khaki shirt, a fake leather jacket, a satchel, and some kind of brown hat. Above the picture, written in stylised red text, were the words ‘Fortune Seeker’.

Below that was a price tag that read ‘$49’.

“…Okay.” Louie said wryly. “Now, I’m having second thoughts.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The weekend came all too soon.

The Cloudslayer rested in front of the hangar, its faded red paint gleaming in the morning sun. The cargo door was open, Launchpad and Della busy loading the last of the supply crates into the cargo hold as the rest of the family loitered outside the door. The triplets and Webby, each carrying a heavy rucksack, stood waiting for Scrooge to finish getting ready and come out. Before them was Donald, fretting over the three of them, and Daisy, standing behind in her pink dress and black bowtie.

“Now, Huey, you have to keep an eye for traps in that place, you hear me?” Donald fussed as they waited. “Remember TRAP: Tripwires, runes-”

“Arrowheads and pressure plates.” Huey finished calmly. “I know, Uncle Donald.”

Donald turned to Louie, who was beside him. “Louie, do not try any of your schemes while you’re in Byblos. You’re in a different country, with different laws-”

“I know, Uncle Donald.” Louie said exasperatedly.

Donald turned to the last triplet in line. “Dewey… are you sure you want to wear that?”

Dewey was wearing the costume he’d bought the other day, the ‘leather’ jacket worn over one of his blue shirts and the hat sitting upon his head. A satchel hung around his shoulder, and tied to his belt was a clearly fake bullwhip.

“…Yeah.” He replied blankly. “Why wouldn’t I?”

“…No reason.” Donald said uncertainly.

“Don’t be too overbearing, Donald.” Daisy told him gently. “They’re almost men now, after all.”

“I know.” Donald sighed. “I just worry a lot.”

“We’ll be fine, Uncle Donald.” Huey said assuredly. “Trust me.”

Beside Huey, Mrs Beakley had knelt down before Webby, looking at her sternly. “Now, the practice training we did over the week was helpful, but you’re still out of practice. You have to be careful in the ruins, understand?”

“Yep!” Webby replied quickly.

“Remember to keep your eyes on the boys, make sure they don’t do anything foolish.”

“Got it!”

Beakley looked at her with a serious, pointed expression. Webby’s smile flickered, then she nodded and added earnestly, “I’ll keep them safe.”

Beakley looked at her up and down, then smiled at her. “Good.”

Approaching from behind Beakley were two young ducks around about Webby’s age. One was wearing a sun-yellow blouse, a knee-length white skirt and an accompanying yellow ribbon that tied her headfeathers back into a ponytail. She stood smirking at Webby with her arms folded across her chest, standing next to her sister, who wore dark blue overalls over a light blue shirt. Like her sister, a large, light-blue ribbon was tied around her head, and her headfeathers were tied into two short pigtails. Her hands were clasped behind her back.

Webby walked up to them, a nervous smile on her face. “Hey, uh… I’m sorry you guys can’t go…”

The yellow one, May, held up her hand to stop her. “Sis, it’s fine. Enjoy yourself out there, and don’t worry about us.”

June moved up and gave her pink-sporting sibling a brief, but tight hug. “We’ll be there in spirit, Webby.” She told her. “Take care of yourself.”

“Aw…” Webby smiled at them. “Thanks, girls. Hey, there’ll totally be adventures after this one, so maybe you can come next time!”

“No, they won’t!” Daisy trilled from the side.

“Or… maybe not.” Webby said awkwardly, the two twins shooting annoyed glances at their adoptive mother.

Finally, Scrooge arrived, dressed in his red coat and top hat, his cane in his hand, and a look of daring excitement upon his face. He stepped out and called, “Kids! It’s time!”

Huey looked over to his uncle, anticipation building in his heart. From his right, he could see Webby bobbing up and down in place, buzzing with energy.

Della and Launchpad walked up to the group, Della dusting off her hands as she did. “Hey, good timing! We just finished loading, so we’re good to go!”

“Man, I can’t believe you guys are going on adventures again!” Launchpad said cheerfully. “It’s just like when they cancelled Darkwing Duck, and then they tried to make that movie and they didn’t… but then it happened in real life!”

“…Yeah… like that.” Dewey said uncertainly. “You coming with?”

“Nah, I’m gonna be hanging out with Darkwing- I mean, my good buddy Drake Mallard all weekend.”

He looked away, muttering, “Heh, nice save, LP. They’ll never suspect a thing.”

He turned back to them brightly. “Speaking of Darkwing Duck, though, have you guys heard of how he recently defeated NegaDuck in an epic battle on top-!”

“On a schedule, Launchpad!” Scrooge told him as he started to usher the party towards the plane.

“Oh, right. Happy adventuring, you guys!”

The five adventurers made their way onto the Cloudslayer, Della following closely behind. As the cargo doors closed, they turned and waved to the family, bidding farewell, as everyone waved back. The plane’s engines started to whir, then the blades began to spin, and the plane slowly moved forward, and began to take off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The plane trip was slow, steady. Huey sat in one of the seats on the left side of the plane, taking deep, deliberate breaths in the hope of calming his nerves.

“…Phoenicia was a thalassocratic civilisation that existed in the twelfth century BC.” He murmured quietly to himself.

On the other side of the plane sat Webby and Louie. Webby was almost vibrating with excitement in her seat, while Louie was staring off into the distance, nervously tapping his leg.

“…consisted of numerous allied city-states, chiefly Tyre, Bidon and Byblos.” Huey said under his breath.

Scrooge and Della sat up in the cockpit, talking between themselves. Dewey sat beside Huey, his arms crossed and his expression pensive. If it wasn’t for the ridiculous costume he was wearing, Huey might’ve thought he looked serious.

“…conquered by Pompey the Great in sixty-four BC…”

“You good, man?” Louie said across the other side of the plane. Huey glanced up, seeing that he was looking at Dewey.

The blue triplet blinked. “Me?”

“You’re not as crazy-energised as I thought you’d be about this.”

“Well…” Dewey scratched his head. “…I dunno. I guess it’s only just hitting me now that we’re doing this. Like, this is actually happening.”

“…Kay.” Louie shrugged. “I hear you.”

“It’s been the opposite for me.” Huey muttered, shaking his head. “It’s been all too real. I’ve been focusing so much on this, that I haven’t been paying enough attention to school.” He sat up and groaned. “I really hope I’m going to have enough time to finish my physics homework…”

Louie slowly turned his head to give Huey a flat, emotionless look.

“Tell me that isn’t your biggest priority right now.” He said to him.

“We get tested on it every Tuesday!” Huey cried.

“So?” Dewey shrugged. “Isn’t it only, like, ten questions?”

“You don’t understand, Mr Baxter doesn’t give us any room for error!” Huey snapped. “I’m not taking any chances!”

Louie snorted with amusement. Then, he looked to Webby, who sat with a fixed, intensely happy expression on her face, staring off into the middle distance.

Gently, Louie poked her on the shoulder. “Uh… are you-?”

“I’m so excited for this adventure!” She shouted as she leapt out of her seat, prompting Louie to jump in alarm. “I’ve spent all week practicing martial arts with Granny, in case we fight any monsters in the ruins, I’ve been practicing my parkour by jumping across the school rooftops, even though Mrs Brookfeather keeps telling me not to, and- and-”

She reached into her rucksack and pulled out a notebook. “I got all these notes on Early Linear which was, like, the script that the ancient Phoenicians used, so I can translate any writing that we find in there!” She paused a bit, then added abashedly, “Er, well… almost any writing.”

Louie looked up at her, then he chuckled. “Heh… I think I missed Excited Webby.”

“That’s… really impressive.” Huey said in surprise.

“Aw… thanks.” Webby said, looking away with a smile.

“That’s really cool.” Dewey agreed. “How’d you balance that with studying for our gen-maths test?”

Webby blinked. “Our what?”

“Alright, kids!” Scrooge’s voice hollered from the cockpit. “We’re almost there!”

The conversation was immediately forgotten. The triplets got up out of their seats to go take a look, and Webby virtually vanished in a puff of smoke as she darted up to the front of the plane. They looked out the window in awe as the city of Byblos – and their new adventure – came close and closer upon the horizon.

My interpretation of the sequel to Pretty Rage and Kamen Haida Tokusatsu AU. Made by @kingdomofkitten.

5 years have passed since the defeat of Byriam, going so far as having Phoenixia give her life to betray the evil empire, the four Toku heroes have moved on to their peaceful lives, that is until a new threat arrives on earth and bestows one of earth’s inhabitants (Anai) with the power to create deadly monsters. Now Pretty Rage and Kamen Haida, along with Cosmotaro (with his identity revealed and now considers Retsuko and Haida his friends) and Kyodaiikari (Who has learned to change size on command.) must fight once more against this new enemy and they’re getting extra help along the way, with Fenneko and the three new members, Kuuma, Nezumi and the new baby.

Next is Fenneko’s newsest weapon, 3 giant vehicles that make a giant robot and can even attach to Kyodaiikari as body armor. Anai is like “REALLY? Are you KIDDING me right now?” while Kuuma is all “THAT IS SO COOL!”

DC OC | Solana's Heritage & Helioas

I'm finally talking about Helioas and its relation to Solana's heritage

Let's start with the basics of Solana Banks's heritage: she's half human. She feels a disconnect from her mother's side because she was raised in Helioas for most of her life and also the fact that her mother's family didn't even know she existed until a few years ago.

Her full name is Princess Solana Phoenixia Selemaine Aerius. Her mother Lucille named her Solana because of her blonde hair and the sunburst birthmark on her back. She's used to being called that instead of Solana Banks.

But to get a deeper meaning of her mixed kid dilemma, let's take a look into Helioas.

Helioas is the alternate dimension where Solana hails from. It has one sun and two moons-- one major and one minor. The major moon is called Selemaine and the minor moon is called Ilsaria.

Much like Koriand'r, Solana's people are descended from animals. In her case it's birds, namely the phoenix. Many Helioasans have intricate tattoos that can transform into wings. Every Helioasan has different wings; Solana has more avian wings while her father had angelic ones. Their feathers range from red to gold with many members of the royal family having orange and gold ones.

Helioas is mostly desert but has a few rivers. As a result, river gods are some of the most worshipped alongside the sun goddess Rasina. One of the river deities is Rasina's own sister-in-law, Orsha.

Helioasans are darker skinned with dark eyes and bright or dark colored hair. Yoja, Solana's father, has red hair while his mother had blonde hair; which is whom Solana gets her hair color from.

Helioasan culture is very matriarchal with the queen being the center of the government. The queen has the final say in all matters both political and social. The king also plays a vital role, which includes the overseeing of religious holidays, domestic affairs, etc. So if Solana were to return home, she'd become the ruler of Helioas by birthright. Women have a very high social and political standing in their society, especially when it comes to the upper class and aristocracy.

Helioasan noblewomen go through a rising ceremony, which is when they set out to become members of society. Noblemen are taught to court noblewomen of high-ranking clans using singing, dances, and gifts such as housemaking and cooking. One famous mating ritual is when a man makes a woman's bed after their wedding, which shows commitment, respect, and love.

Which is why when Solana walked in on Bart making her bed, she became embarrassed and told him she wasn't interested in mating him, which was awkward for everyone else.

Now back to Solana and her mixed kid trauma.

Solana exists between two different worlds: Helioas and Earth. As I mentioned before, Solana was raised on Helioas most of her life. She was raised with the same ideals and principles that other Helioasan royal women are raised by. She knows everyone on her father's side of the family.

She has very little knowledge of Earth through Lucille and even then finds it hard to adapt to the planet. But when her father is killed and Helioas is destroyed by Belladonna, she has to go to that place she has little knowledge of and spend the rest of her life there.

On Earth, she has trouble fitting in with the other kids. She gets made fun of for speaking in a formal manner, how she dresses, etc. Not to mention her powers. There's a major disconnect between her and her human counterparts, including her mother. Solana hasn't had to face some of the things Lucille has because of where she's from. She's not used to the kids in her class living in normal houses instead of grand palaces.

And that's what makes her feel isolated. Because she is quite literally the only one of her kind.

Timantti-UFO Phoenixissa

Havaintopäivämäärä: huhtikuu 27, 2019 Havaintopaikka: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Facebook-lähde: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.woolwine/posts/10156457314297833

Tämän havainnon tallensi UFO-tutkija Jeff Woolwine Phoenixista.

Video on yksi selkeimmistä mitä on vähään aikaan näkynyt, ja kuitenkin UFO itse on niin heijastava, että on vaikeaa saada yksityiskohtia sen pinnasta. Hän kuvasi sen Canonin HD-kameralla hänen asuntonsa ulkopuolella päivällä kello 14:37.

Kirkas keltainen hehku tällä UFOlla on huomattava. Se pyörii ja kääntyilee aivan kuin sillä ei olisi yläosaa, ei alaosaa, mutta se pyörii 360 asteen kierroksia sen liikkuessa.

Selvää todistusaineistoa siitä, että Phoenixia tarkkailee avaruusolennot.

Pretty-Rage & Kamen Haida: Part 2

*some time later, Haida wakes up, in a small house, looking out to rice fields*

Haida: GAH! What the-?! ...wha…

Retsuko: You’re up! Finally! *hands him a bowl of rice* Here you go. Eat up!

Haida: *grabs the bowl* What the-...how did you find this?

Retsuko: Well, let’s just say you were lucky where you crashed. A farmer found us, and brought us over here to recover. Turns out he had a bunch of rice that was almost ready at the time of the food being taken away, so he hid it, in case they were to try to steal it.

Haida: Oh. *starts eating* ...needs some sauce, but it’ll do.

Retsuko: Hey, don’t complain! I’ve been starving for something all day. *eating like an animal*

Haida: Hehe, oh, I know, don’t worry…*looks off to the fields, into the forest, and mountains* …..heh.

Retsuko: What’s wrong?

Haida: Ah, just wondering how we’ve survived as long as we have.

Retsuko: ...what do you mean?

Haida: I mean...I dunno, it always feels like every time we seem to legitimately send the Bryriam back a bit, they always come back, full force, and we have to start over. And every time, it always seems like they’re stronger than ever before. Like, where does it end? Will we finally have the upper hand, or will they win? I want to protect the Earth...for you. For Ikari. For Fenneko. For everyone….but I’m starting to feel like that will quickly become pointless. Especially with this recent dude, their plan straight up knocked us out! It could’ve gotten us killed! How the hell do you jump back from that?! I...I don’t know. *continues eating*

Retsuko: ...well, you know how I jump back?

Haida: ...how?

Retsuko: I see you do it.

Haida: ...hmm?

Retsuko: It’s gonna be a little weird to explain, but...remember, when I was pregnant with Ikari? At that time, crime fighting...that wasn’t something I could keep doing at that time. So, you and I agreed you would do all of that, while I stayed back, and I would get back into it once Ikari was born.

Haida: Well, yeah. That was kind of a given. It came as a little bit of a shock to me when you came back, almost as soon as he was delivered. I would’ve figured you’d need a little extra time.

Retsuko: You know why I came back as soon as I did? Because you put up with fighting them off for nine long months. You had to go through that alone. You fought them neck and neck, and you were occasionally on the brink of near death...but every night, you came home, you crawled in bed with me, and asked me how my day went, treating it as just another day at work. Even when you were a bloodied mess, and we had to tend to your injuries, you kept it up. You wouldn’t stop for a single second, and...there’s something to admire about that, Haida….you remember when we first brought home Ikari?

Haida: Y-yeah. It was at night. He was so tired, we just laid him in his cradle, and let him sleep.

Retsuko: And you remember what we talked about afterwards?

Haida: Um….I kind of forgot.

Retsuko: Well, we said that now that we have a baby, our responsibilities are piled on more. The game has been changed slightly. We have to work harder. We first just fought evil for the safety of the Earth. But now, we don’t just fight for that. We fight, so that our son can have a bright future. So that he doesn’t have to live under the iron fist of the Byriam. I don’t know how much more we will be able to take of them, Haida. I really don’t. But as long as we’re still here, we’re still able to give hope to the people, I’m not gonna stop fighting them, and I hope you don’t either.

Haida: *smiles* I won’t.

Retsuko: *smiles back* Good. *suddenly, her phone rings, and she answers* Hello?

Fenneko: Hey, Retsy! You guys alright? Saw the nasty crash you two took.

Retsuko: How did-

Fenneko: Cameras. Remember?

Retsuko: Ah, right. Anyways, we’re fine. How’s Ikari?

Fenneko: He’s A-Okay, found some water to give him, to hold him over. Though, he might need to be changed soon. Ignoring that, though, um...any chance you guys are coming back to town? Because I’m preeeeetty certain the Byriam has taken the city hostage. *overseeing a large crowd of people, surrounding Phoenixia, Kuishinbō, and the Cronion soldiers*

Phoenixia: *distant* PEOPLE OF TOKYO! WE WILL GIVE YOU BACK YOUR FOOD SUPPLY! HOWEVER, IN ORDER FOR THIS TO OCCUR, YOU MUST GIVE COMPLETE AND TOTAL SURRENDER TO THE BYRIAM EMPIRE!

Fenneko: ...as you can see, kinda need to hurry your asses over here.

Retsuko: Oh! Uh, we’ll be heading over there now! Thanks! *hangs up* Come on! Phoenixia’s got the city wrapped around her finger!

Haida: Yikes! Right! *they get up, and run towards their motorcycle, with an elderly man waiting for them*

Retsuko: Thank you so much for your help! *the two mount the motorcycle*

Old man: No worries! Now get back to Tokyo! And don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me.

Haida: Thank you, sir. *they drive off*

*meanwhile…*

Civilian: P-please! Just let us eat! We’ve been wasting away all day!

Phoenixia: What did I tell you? You surrender to the Byriam Empire, and you will receive your nutrients. Until then, you will starve. KUISHINBŌ! Chow down!

Kuishinbō: Yes, ma’am! *grabs out a giant play of food, to the dismayed wails of the crowd, and opens his mouth* YOOOO-

???: HOLD IT! *the monster stops, as he, and everyone else, turns to see Kamen Haida and Pretty-Rage, driving up to the commotion!*

Phoenixia: WHAT?! They’re back?!

Kamen Haida: Better than ever! *they stop the motorcycle, and jump into the action* *to the civilians* Everyone, head out, we’ll take care of this!

*the people begin running away, as the Cronion soldiers charge at the two for battle!*

Pretty-Rage: Ready?!

Kamen Haida: Ready!

*the two begin their battle with the Cronions*

Pretty-Rage: Heyah! *roundhouse kicks some soldiers, who fall to the ground*

Cronion: *squeals, as it tries to wack her with a staff...only to be blocked with her microphone, and blasted out of the way!*

Kamen Haida: *punches one Cronion in the face multiple times, kicks a few others, backflips onto one, jumps off of that soldier, and then jump kicks another!*

Phoenixia: Ugh! That does it! KUISHINBŌ! GO!

Kuishinbō: Yes, ma’am! *jumps into action* YOOOOOOO!!!! *slashes the two!*

Pretty-Rage: Agh!

Kamen Haida: GAH! *they step back, but keep fighting the monster!*

Pretty-Rage: *tries blasting Kuishinbō with her mic!* Take that!

Kuishinbō: *deflects the blast!* Hohohoho! Nice try, but you can’t stop me! *opens his mouth, to reveal a giant beam* KUIARASHIMASU! *blasts it at the two, who are sent flying back a bit!*

Kamen Haida: AAAH!

Pretty-Rage: AAAH! *they fall to the ground* Crap! What do we do?!

Kamen Haida: I-I don’t know!

Kuishinbō: *walks up to them* This was fun! But this, alas, is the end! *unleashes his sword, aiming to strike them!* YOOO-*suddenly gets blasted by several laser shots from the sky!* OW! Wha?!

Phoenixia: *looks up* What?!

Pretty-Rage and Kamen Haida: *they both look up* Huh?!

*up on top, they see a lone figure, in robotic armor, and helmet, somewhat resembling that of an astronaut, with a laser gun in it’s hand*

Pretty-Rage: Who...who’s that?

Phoenixia: Identify yourself!

Being: *jumps down, and starts walking towards Kuishinbō* My name is Cosmotaro. You are members of the Byriam Empire, who have tried many times to terrorize, and conquer this beautiful planet. For that, you will be punished.

Kuishinbō: Ooooo, you’re taking precious time away from my lunch! *raises his sword in the charges for an attack* YOOOOOOO! *suddenly gets stopped by a grab of his arm by Cosmotaro* Huh?

Cosmotaro: *punches Kuishinbō in the gut, sending him flying across the street!* Pathetic.

Kamen Haida: *gets up, along with Pretty-Rage* H-hey! Thanks!

Cosmotaro: Spare the thanks, we need to eliminate this being. *aims his gun at Kuishinbō, and starts firing!*

Kuishinbō: AGH! OW!

Pretty-Rage: *grabbing her mic* ...here goes! *goes into death metal mode!* METAL ROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!! *the might of her scream makes a beam that fires at the monster!*

Kamen Haida: Keep them firing! *charges at the monster, and jumps into the air* HAIDAAAAA KIIIIICK! *jump kicks Kuishinbō straight in the face, and does a backflip off of him!*

Kuishinbō: I NEVER GOT TO EEEEEAAAAAT!!!! *falls to the ground, and explodes!*

Phoenixia: Oh, no, you don’t! *uses her hands, in a waving motion* BRYIAM….GROW!

*suddenly, Kuishinbō returns, as a giant!*

Cosmotaro: Huh?!

Pretty-Rage: Oh no! What are we going to do?!

Kamen Haida: The only thing we can do.

Pretty-Rage: Wha…..oh, come on, Haida, you KNOW I don’t like him doing this!

Kamen Haida: Well, what else do we have?

Pretty-Rage: Well…..uh…..*sigh* fine. *grabs her phone* Fenneko, you there?

Fenneko: *setting Ikari down, on the rooftop of a building* Ready to go. *hands Ikari a small device* Alrighty, buddy, get to work.

Ikari: Bah! *holds the device up to the sky, which causes it to light up!*

*suddenly, in a blinding flash, the small infant has disappeared, and in his place, a giant alien-like being stands tall, against the giant kabuki-like monster….it is….Kyodaikari!*

Kuishinbō: YOOOO! *the two get into fighting stances...before charging, and tackling one another!*

Kyodaikari: GEYAH! DAH! *kicking, and chopping Kuishinbō*

Kuishinbō: *kicks Kyodaikari in the gut, pushing him back, into a building! ...the building’s empty, don’t worry* You will not get away with this! *opens his mouth once more!* KUIARASHIMASUUUUUUUU!!!!!! *fires a beam at the giant hero!*

Kyodaikari: *uses his arms to form a poses, which emits a beam from his elbow* GEAH! *the two beams clash, causing the earth to shake!*

Kuishinbō: YOU CANNOT BEAT ME!

Kyodaikari: GYREAAAAH! *eventually, his beam begins to win out, and he overcomes Kuishinbō’s strength, and blasts the monster!*

Kuishinbō: AAAAGH! *falls to the ground* YYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! *explodes!*

Phoenixia: DAMN! *to the heroes* This is far from the end! *disappears along with the Cronions*

Pretty-Rage: *sighs* Man, you’d think we would be getting close to stopping her by now.

Kamen Haida: Such is the struggle…*sees Cosmotaro leaving* Hey! Thanks for the help! ...who are you, anyway?

Cosmotaro: ...whoever I am is irrelevant.

Pretty-Rage: Well, considering you helped us, it would be nice to know your name, make a new friend.

Cosmotaro: Let’s get something clear. We are not friends in the battlefield. You do know me when we’re civilians, and we do get along. But as this, neither of you are my friends. We are merely on the side of justice. Nothing more. *walks away*

Kamen Haida: *starts to storm towards him* Listen here, you bastar-! *he’s stopped by Pretty-Rage* H-huh? Retsuko!

Pretty-Rage: Haida, just...let him go. It’s not worth getting mad over. We won, that’s all that matters.

Kamen Haida: ……*sigh* Alright, fine. *to the giant Kyodaikari* You can turn back, buddy, you’re done!

Kyodaikari: GEH! *turns back into the small child, Ikari, running to his parents*

Pretty-Rage: *crouching down* Come to mommy, sweetie!

Ikari: *jumps into her arms* Mama! :D

Kamen Haida: Hehe..c’mon, let’s get back to work, before anyone notices we’re gone.

*a short time later, they’re all back in the office, eating lunch, like nothing ever happened*

Retsuko: *chowing down* So, yeah! Another job well done, I think!

Haida: Yeah. And thank goodness, huh? Now people aren’t gonna be miserable all around here.

Fenneko: In this building? Nah, they still are.

Haida: You know what I mean….I’m still wondering who that guy was.

Retsuko: Hmm? Oh, that Cosmo...something, dude?

Haida: Cosmotaro, I think was his name.

Retsuko: Ah...well, I’m not gonna worry about it. If he wants to act that way, that’s his choice. But who knows? Maybe he’ll warm up more.

Haida: Provided we see him again. *sees Resasuke walking up to their table* Hey, Space Cadet! What’s up?

Resasuke: Hey, is the coffee machine working again?

Retsuko: I think so, Resasuke. All the food and beverages went back to everyone, once that monster was destroyed.

Resasuke: ...there was a monster?

Fenneko: Aaaaand of course he missed it. :3

Haida: In any case, it should be fine. If not, lemme know, I’ll go take a look at it.

Resasuke: Thanks. *walks off*

Fenneko: ...honestly, Retsuko, I’m still figuring out how the hell you saw anything in him.

Retsuko: Hey, he’s not a bad guy! Just...not my type.

Haida: Lucky me, then. ;)

Retsuko: Mhm!

Resasuke: *walks over to the coffee machine...and suddenly pulls out a familiar looking laser gun* ….. *in his memory, as...Cosmotaro* You do know me when we’re civilians, and we do get along. But as this, neither of you are my friends. We are merely on the side of justice. Nothing more. ……*he looks at Retsuko and Haida* ….*sigh* maybe soon.

*some time later…*

Retsuko: *talking with Washimi on the phone* And then Ikari did his whole giant superhero thing, and beat the guy until he exploded! It was insane!

Washimi: Wow! Well, that’s wonderful to hear, Retsuko. It’s good to see you’re using your abilities for us Earthlings. You’ve got quite the team now, it seems like!

Retsuko: Yeah. It’s getting tough, but we’re always getting tougher.

Washimi: *chuckles* I bet. Well, listen, I have to go. Gori and I have something planned, and we mustn't be late.

Retsuko: Okay! Talk to you later!

Washimi: Bye. *hangs up, and sees Gori, glaring at her* …..what?

Gori: ...when do you plan on telling her?

Washimi: ...soon enough.

Gori: Well, when you do, try not to be as cruel as you can be with that secret.

Washimi: Gori, you’re my friend, I care about you, but you do not understa-

Gori: I don’t understand? Nuh-uh, YOU don’t understand. You may think you can keep this up, and still be her friend, but one of these days, you’re gonna drive her away...like you drove me away. *walks off*

Washimi: Gori, I-! ….ugh. *receives a call* Hello?

???: Come on down. They’re expecting you.

Washimi: ...on my way. *hangs up, gets up, walks away from her desk...and teleports to a dark, dank, cave-like place, surrounded by tons of alien like individuals, having herself suddenly turned into a familiar looking being…*

The Evil Ruler of the Empire, KAIZER: PHOENIXIA! You have failed once again to get even Japan to fall to our whim!

Second-In-Command DENDO: *a buff, seemingly more militaristic brute* Hmph. Typical, of a weakling such as yourself, Phoenixia.

Phoenixia: Shut it, Dendo! My lord Kaizer, it won’t happen again! I promise!

Kaizer: You are beginning to test my patience, young child! We may have to send Dendo to finish the job.

Dendo: I think that would be an excellent idea, my lord. If my pure force was on the lines, instead of Phoenixia’s inane schemes, the Earthlings would not stand a chance.

Phoenixia: Earth cannot be conquered by raw strength alone. You must be able to tackle their thoughts and emotions as well, before truly breaking them.

Kaizer: Whatever the case may be, remember. This is only to help us. If we cannot acquire the Earth, we, as a species, may not be living much longer. This is only for a secure future! TO THE FUTURE OF THE BYRIAM!

Everyone in the room: TO THE FUTURE OF THE BYRIAM!

Kaizer: Dismissed! *everyone starts scattering around, going to wherever*

Phoenixia: *looking over Earth* …

Dendo: *walking up to her* Just remember something, I will be the one to bring that planet to it’s knees. So you better treat me with some respect very soon. Who knows? I might even let your precious friends live, once I win. *laughs, and walks away*

Phoenixia: …*sigh* Retsuko, I pray that we will never have to confront to the death. But if that day comes, I will not hold back. I will stand my ground. For my empire, for my people. Like how you stand for yours… *leaves*

つづく

“Wow, part 1 sure was big, eh?”

He says, as part two is even bigger.

But yeah, FINALLY got this done! I’m pretty proud of this whole thing, honestly. It was a great way to let off some steam. Will I ever come back to it? I dunno, maybe. It might be fun. But until then, I’ve got bigger fish to fry....oh, and yes, Kyodaikari is supposed to be an Ultraman send-up.

Entry 02 (07/01/2020): Research, Inspirations and Ideas

Hi there!!

Welcome to entry number two! This project is still VERY much in the preparation stage, so I wanted to use this one as an opportunity to link all the sources that I’ve been using as a basis up until this point, as well as specific pieces of work that have inspired this project, plus some brainstormed ideas that might be experimented with in the future.

The next couple of entries after this will most likely be focusing on making some first demos, visual ideas, mood-boards, notebook scribbles, and maybe some character/story ideas too! I won’t lie, the scope of all the different areas does slightly scare me, especially since I have next to no experience in a lot of them - I feel like I’m flying by the seat of my pants!!

But I’m definitely going to make a lot of mistakes as I try some new skills and play with new concepts for the first time, so please bear with me as I stumble around in the dark for a while :D Expect most of my nonsense to eventually end up getting heavily changed, retconned, or cut entirely!

--------

A List of Sources (at the time of writing!):

AWARE - AWAreness during REsuscitation - A Prospective Study (resuscitationjournal.com, October 6th 2014) - The first piece I found! The start of this idea came when I was thinking about how my dreams worked (more on that later!), and for some reason I suddenly remembered one religious studies lesson I had in school when I was 14 I think? Part of the lesson was talking about out-of-body and near-death experiences, and out of curiosity I looked it up to see if anything had changed. That’s when I came across this!

“What Really Happens After Cardiac Arrest?” - The New York Academy of Sciences (nyas.org, December 6th 2019) - A talk on the subject led by the Lead Author of the 2014 study, held in late 2019! There’s loads of interesting information and anecdotes in here.

Life — after life: Does consciousness continue after our brain dies? (nationalpost.com, April 18th 2019 [Updated October 2019]) - This article goes very in-depth as well as referencing a LOT of different studies, some even offering opposing viewpoints to each other! There’s loads of quotes and studies here that I really want to look more into.

Greyson NDE Scale (iands.org, 25th April 2015) - The NDE scale referenced in the National Post article - would be cool to use this somewhere somehow??

Understanding the cognitive experience of death and the near-death experience (academic.oup.com, 14th July 2016) - A summary of the 2014 AWARE experiment, but that references past studies into the field (see below!)

Life Changes in Patients After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (link.springer.com, 8th December 2011) - One of the referenced studies, this one includes a ‘life changes’ questionnaire at the bottom which might be another source of ideas.

A qualitative and quantitative study of the incidence, features and aetiology of near death experiences in cardiac arrest survivors (sciencedirect.com, February 2001) - An older study, but with very similar results to recent ones!

A Prospective Analysis of Near-Death Experiences in Cardiac Arrest Patients (link.springer.com, June 2002) - Another older study, includes characterisations of the experiences, some of which correlate with AWARE’s most commonly reported themes.

Possible source - What Happens When We Die? by Sam Parnia, M.D.(penguinrandomhouse.com, 1st January 2007) - I’m debating whether to look into this - it’s written by the same project leader as the AWARE study, but this book was written 7 years prior to it. I’m also fully aware that despite trying to look everywhere, the majority of my current sources stem from Dr. Parnia. (This might not be a bad thing! It’s just surprising to me that most of the recent studies into this field I can find out about stem from him.)

-------- Inspirations/Ideas:

Just a quick place to put current inspirations down! I’m sure that once I’ve finished this entry I’ll realise I’ve missed some out, so I’ll edit this as I go!

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD:

Bojack Horseman - S6 E15 ‘The View From Halfway Down (& S6 E16 ‘Nice While It Lasted’) - Netflix - The View From Halfway Down takes place within Bojack’s mind, after he commits suicide by downing himself in the pool of his former home. This episode has a LOT of themes which link to the studies:

Just like how some CA survivors reported on seeing their life ‘in review’, the characters are asked what the best and worst parts of each of their lives were, leading to conflict of ideals between them as well as trying to tackle large philosophical questions.

Black tar, representing impending death, begins the episode as a drip in the ceiling, before consuming all the all the characters one-by-one, followed by both Bojack and the dream world the episode takes place in. With newer theories on loss of consciousness and brain cell/tissue functionality arguing that it may be a gradual process of decay, rather than an instant loss, the black tar effectively mirrors this. Combined with the fact that Bojack becomes more frantic as the episode ends and the tar begins to chase him, as well as more supernatural events which begin happening, this may mirror the post-death ‘elevated state of consciousness’ idea.

For the first half of the episode, Bojack believes that he is in a recurring dream he has had many times before in his life, even stating how the dream will end event-by-event. However, once these happen but dream doesn’t end, things take a darker shift, and it takes him time to realise he might not be waking up. While being unaware of their own death might be a concept to try in the future (although a scary one), it does bring up the idea that final moments of consciousness may be very similar to the dreams a person normally has (or take place in a similar format with similar people).

While Bojack’s father, Butterscotch, does feature in the episode, he takes on the appearance of Secretariat, Bojack’s personal idol. A percentage of CA survivors reported that post-experience, they came out of hospital and care with a renewed sense of who their true friends and family were - here it’s represented as a father taking the shape of an idol (but keeping his father’s voice).

The 20-25 minute time length: Supervising director Mike Hollingsworth revealed in an interview that the episode took place over around 30 seconds - one of the many theories on the length of consciousness persisting after death is 20-30 seconds, but in an elevated state, perhaps leading to a longer perception of time (e.g. 20-30 seconds becomes 20-30 minutes of video/audio).

The world this episode takes place in is a connection of significant locations in Bojack’s life (e.g. the kitchen from Horsin’ Around, the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge which Secretariat jumped off), albeit with slight changes. Purely coincidentally, this is how a lot of my dreams function!!

While it’s still theorised as to whether Bojack is actually alive in Nice While It Lasted, or whether it’s a continuation of his NDE, this episode focuses on optimistic reflection and reconciliation with the other major characters in the show, a similarity to the reflection on friends, family and morals reported by CA survivors.

Rachel Joyce - ‘A Snow Garden and Other Stories’ (Published by Penguin Books, 3rd November 2016)

This is an incredible collection of seven short stories, each one told at different time periods by different characters, the events of each story being individually unique, and yet all of them are linked in some way!! My current plan is to make multiple stories based off the different experiences CA survivors have had, and I’d love to somehow be able to link them all like these short stories are, to be able to tell another story in and of itself!

I really need to find more short stories like these, since the end result(s) of this project will probably be in short-story format (maybe 20 minutes of video/audio per character?). This book’s given me a lot of ideas in terms of character building in a short format, as well as what the ‘link’ could be between each.

Some of the characters in the stories were scrapped characters from Joyce’s previous works - I’ve been trying to think a lot on how to best approach character design for this project (since I’ve never done it before!) and this seems to show to me that compelling stories could be founded off a character’s traits, and that this could be a good way to start?? I don’t know, I could be completely wrong!

All the stories focus on one specific life-changing moment for each main character, but either through narration of past events or it coming up in conversation. we get a fairly clear picture of each character’s lives, their mentality, and where it stems from.

Pixar Animation Studio’s ‘Sparkshorts’ Films: - What happens when you give Pixar artists 6 months and a set budget? So far, 8 incredible short films, all in different styles, each exploring different and very real themes!! (Seriously, please check these out, they’re all incredible and hard-hitting and so worth your time!)

Seeing how such strong themes are addressed in such short time is insanely cool, and is exactly the kind of thing I want to try and make! It’s also super inspiring to see what awesome films can be made under such constraints.

If I end up making films/audio/albums on multiple people, these films show that you can play around with animation style, aesthetic, and storytelling techniques to create just as much heart and soul as each other. Varying styles is something I’d love to try when representing different characters.

‘Gravity Falls’ - Hidden Codes/Messages and Stan’s Mind:

The hidden codes scattered throughout both seasons seems like a cool way to enhance an existing narrative, fill in gaps in backstory, or work to link multiple together!

The ‘memory rooms’ approach may be one way of experiencing the ‘life review’?

Conclusion:

And there we go! I’ll probably come back and add more later, but for now here’s a lil idea dump. At some point in the future I’ll talk about musical influences and ideas too!

This will probably be the last text-filled entry - I’m hoping to use future entires more like a logbook, where I put up demos of what I’ve been working on. There’ll definitely be explanations to stuff (that I’ll probably needlessly overexplain!!) but nowhere near this and the previous entry’s level of paragraphs!

University deadlines are getting closer, so progress will probably be a bit sporadic for the next month or so. But I’ll keep chipping away at this when I can!
