"You. Cannot. Have. My. Pain."

Could you look your darkest moment in the eye and say "This is mine"?

Let's talk about Dalinar Kholin, and why his refusal in Oathbringer is the peak of fantasy redemption. 📘🔥

💣 HOT TAKE: The Jedi Order didn't deserve its fate.

Pop culture loves to blame the Jedi for their own downfall. But arrogance is a character flaw, not a war crime.

Here is why the Jedi were victims, not architects, of their destruction. 🧵

Pure prairie winter: that flat, endless light with the sun low and weak barely warming anything, yet turning the sky into incredible peach-gold. The road disappears into distance like it's heading straight off the edge of the world. Joni Mitchell is seriously underrated as a visual artist
Painting by singer Joni Mitchell "40 below 0" Nice❣️

This one here is one of those images that feels like a memory you didn't know you had: the soft light, the empty street, and the familiar spire just peeking over the rooftops—it hits the sweet spot between the familiar and dreamlike. There's something quietly magnetic about it, isn't there?
One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

👁️⃤ THE VEILED LORE: Silent Hill

What if the fog isn't just mist?

We think the town is haunted. But what if it’s hungry?

It doesn't just trap sinners. It feeds on them. Not on flesh, but on trauma. On guilt. On the raw, rotting wounds of the soul

Amid a brooding iron-gray sky, a vast dragon of deep-turquoise perches in serene dominion atop jagged spur of stone.

Waves hurl themselves against the rock in white fury, yet they break and retreat as if in a reverent homage, forming around the dragon like offerings laid at an ancient altar

"We destroyed our home"

We had already reached Mars along time ago by a long-dead civilization after ruining Earth, just like the new arrivals are in the process of doing by fleeing to Mars 2035

A warning from the past cycle of humanity that repeated the exact same mistake (Just playful fiction)

One of my favorite characters in the entire franchise—beneath his charm and wit lies a man crushed by a strong sense of guilt, haunted by the memory of Rachel, the love he lost. I could go on forever talking about him; he's that well-written

Some really cool designs here! The bottom-Left is the most fragile here, probably a scout ship. The Bottom-Middle arrow-shaped vessel with its swept-back wings probably a standard military patrol craft? Finally, Bottom-Right's U-shaped ship sounds like a mobile mechanic or salvage drone
Six Ships. I'm very much in the Chris Foss school of thought when it comes to colour, rather than SW or ST.

📜 TROPE TALK: Debris Fields

Let's talk about the biggest lie in Science Fiction: The Dense Asteroid Field.

In movies, it’s a death trap.
In reality? You could fly a ship blindfolded through our asteroid belt and never hit a thing. ☄️

“The truth is that as a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing but does only and wholly what he must do.”

🌍 LORE DROP: ZION

The last bastion of humanity—burrowed deep beneath the scorched earth, near the planet's core for heat and power.

A city of 250,000 defiant souls.

Every footstep on its grated walkways is a promise: Humanity still endures. 🛡️

"It had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong."

If you could make the world better at the cost of your life, would you do it?

Let’s discuss Mordin Solus, and why his death in Mass Effect 3 remains the emotional peak of the franchise. 🧬
