im gonna put some stuff in here - and once it gets big ill prolly split it off. i know i already have posts about this but fuck that --- be spontaneous and clean up later. when it comes to architectural decisions at least. for creative endeavours.
Monument Mythos
Firstly, go check it out. If you spoil yourself, still check it out. It's a big whole thing.
Okay so, let me just get my Bering Strait:
- Season 1: The one which ends with Freedom being sick 'n tired of being trapped. You have the Air Force Angel, the infected Rushmore, Washington getting stretched, all of that.
- Season 2: Everything ends - which... yeah. A lot of stuff happens up to that point - and it's a whole fuck of a lot - but George Washington breaks out of the Earth and turns the entire universe into a corner dimension. There's explanations and a whole cause and effect chain here but you're gonna have to watch to figure that out. Though maybe I should save this for
- The Nixonverse: what the fuck. okay -- this is a whole separate canon and references to it will be made, but it's just a different universe. Do universes interact? Yes. But the story of this one is simple. Nixon lives on the moon and split himself into 3 - the Queen of the Lunarians, Last Son of Alcatraz, and the D-Day Knight.
- Season 3: Heard of Cthonaut A? They just went up to the Angel, told them to just divide, and this caused some errant particles of theirs to go back to just went that little world-ending conflict happened and make past them tell Freedom to kill them so the universe doesn't end. That's this universe. It has a good ending. Well, bittersweet - but I'll count it after all the tragedy. Plus, you should really watch it.
- Alternate American Folklore: Genuinely what the fuck.
Okay so, bit of a disclaimer, I'd already seen S1 through S3 earlier. A long time ago, so I forgot the little details, but AAF knocked me away. It is basically a precursor of the whole entire series, but it is also very much its own thing. Basically, what if you had the mythos, but instead of being applied to monuments, it's applied to the time that America uh... did its whole genocide. Manifest Destiny - is a very diplomatic way of putting it. This one starts with Columbus by the way, and the first weirdest thing you hear of is the Ship Jester - which good luck with having to keep that in mind.
Also, Abraham Lincoln listens to music to access the sublime which lets his head fly everywhere.
That is technically a spoiler. But are you telling me you wouldn't want to check out the actual video to figure out how the fuck that makes any sense? And if it doesn't, well... I'd definitely want to check out the series at least.
Anyways I finished it, but if I'm completely honest I need to rewatch it again, because it's all somewhat of a blur to me. I loved it, but damn is it dense. Which leaves me with this - what next?
Well, according to the official playlist, I'm now at 57 of 75. 19 videos left. A ways to go, and what a path that lies ahead.
- The Trinity Desk Project: I remember seeing some of these videos a long time ago and thought they were so cool - but then they got disappeared, before coming back and becoming a part of the overall Mythos. The first video raises a couple of interesting questions, such as what the fuck do you mean there are invisible child corpses inside this desk.
- President Dean: The Series: Which I know absolutely nothing about and have no idea what in the hell to expect.
- The Modern Day: Straight up a fuckin movie which is 1:52:30 and the only thing I know is that Robert Pattinson becomes President all while this thing plays which I really do love. So I can't wait to hear that music.

Experiment Microbyss
I feel like it's going well. My metrics for well are simply that I maintain a good daily output. And well, I've managed to do that, even if I got close sometimes. However, now I managed to build up a bit of a backlog, to the point where we're now multi-staging it, where we upload in batches, and prepare metadata/schedule in batches. The main benefit I've been getting from this one is that it actually works. I like it when I see a new micro-video of mine - enough to where I actively try to keep up the queue. And because of that, the editor stays open - and I have much less friction to working on other videos. I just need the motivation now, and honestly even pending non-micro videos, the micro videos are a good way of getting bigger videos out. And the queue makes it so where if I build it up far enough, the micro-compilation can come out before all the micro footage comes out - at which point, micro or not, it wouldn't even matter.
All in all though, I'm glad. There's now quite a lot of stuff I'm working on in parallel - fallout new vegas, limbus company, corru.observer, and yume nikki. I also have more umineko footage now, so that's there as well. Plus, the thumbnails are fun to work on. It basically turns Microbyssal into an art gallery of sorts.
I'll say it's a success - but not fully. I want to give it more time first. Started on 12 Jun, it's now 2 Aug as of writing this part, I'd like to make it to 3 months at least. Then a year and so on. Who knows, we might go >1 per day at some point.
