#VERSE. ( expanse. )

[mongeese]

Now, I haven't actually listened to all that many audio drama podcasts in comparison to other podcast fans, but I really genuinely honest-to-god believe that as audio drama expands as a medium and if fiction podcasting gains mainstream attention that The Silt Verses will be held up as a groundbreaking example of what audio drama can be and as a show that pushed and expanded the boundaries of the medium. Even the roughness of the audio (mainly in season 1 but there are some messy bits throughout the show) I think is an indication of the show's sheer ambition and creative vision, running into the limitations and either pulling back in creative ways or breaking those boundaries. Like imo it's truly unmatched in audio drama productions right now. I've never heard anything like it before. The fandom is not the biggest compared to the really famous podcasts (though it is sizeable and growing!), but I hope that one day TSV gets the acclaim it deserves because it is really, really that good

Some more thoughts for Moras Main non-tes verse (aka The Outer God of Knowledge until i have a better name)

Much in line with the general backstory I have for it now, it was the original blueprint of creation crafted by the original Gods of the universe. It did get into a testing phase before being decidely 'imperfect'. It was then taken apart, stripped of pieces that would be used in creation, and then left as ideas and concepts undesired to rot in the void. Its sentience was an accident that was unforeseen and could not be killed once it was truly 'born', for it had begun to stick its tendrils within times before, during, and after it.

Its initial nature was neutral, and purely curious there is a chance its original domain was Curiosity itself before gaining that of knowledge, fate, and memory through its original area. Its goals were as simple as gaining more information. The entity was provided no guidance and simply left to its own device; finding through this how much easier it was to gain through manipulation. How much more knowledge could be gained through breaking something and then putting it back together, only to repeat. The entertainment it could gain through trickery. Respect through recognition of the mind, and fear of intellect.

Mora does feel an absence; that built of the pieces that were torn of it, those of which it is unaware of. Consumption of knowledge and memory fills this hunger momentarily before it returns- and it becomes more jaded as it runs out of new things to gain. (unlike TES verse, the universe is a lot more vast however and this widely opens up how much it has or has not gained).

Apocrypha is a realm between reality, and spans through the cracks between nearly all of it. What it is is more than likely the remnants of the original design, much like Mora. The husks of the former universe, which Mora inhabits and rules and has made its own. Its appearance currently has no difference from that in TES, other than maybe the areas where more modern tech is present. It is a plane of alien architecture, curling and spiraling bookshelves, oceans of ink, landscapes of unknown flora and fauna, and a roiling sky of green miasma pocketed with voids of tendrils and eyes.

Still something akin to a hive-mind, like I have it in canon. Where it can be in multiple places at once, think different things, or even disconnect pieces of itself. This is important for later bullet.

Mora cannot leave Apocrypha. It can send pieces of itself like feelers into reality, but much like a fish out of water these will wither if kept out for too long. Too long of course can be anywhere from a day to a thousand years dependent on how thin the walls between reality and its own realm are; some areas the two touch much closer, and those spots you may find more anomalous properties within reality.

Mora can work around this issue to an extent through the means of vessels. It can use living beings from reality, from true creation, and put a chunk of itself within. This acts as a protective barrier to its matter, though the vessel will begin to malform and distort the longer Mora is within it / the more of its power is used within it. Once the final chunks of creations make is eaten away from the vessel, the time begins to tick upon the piece of Mora. Mora also does tend to thin or completely snip its connection to these piece of itself to avoid withering the vessel and therefore that piece of itself too fast, but does put what it has gained at risk of having to regather the knowledge and memories and all that makes it up from that piece back should it completely disappear.

More will be added as I think about it cause I am rotating this verse in my head

A Token of Gratitude Picture for @sugarrollart (Spider-Berry Pop Figures)

I have to say I am in love with this character that @sugarrollart created. It's genius! Since, the artist is amazing and I love this character, I always wanted to do a token of gratitude picture for the artist. I hope one day to see pop figures made of this character. So, I thought I should start creating designs for the pop figures for the artist.

I hope the artist likes them.

Spider-Berry is owned by @sugarrollart

Downbeat: I created you, and you created me. Bonnie: Sam, why'd you create that guy? Sam: I didn't! He's talking crazy!

ok but. with meoto aizo’s ✨demon reveal✨ one of his lines in the first verse kinda makes sense now?

i did think that it was kinda weird that he said 「同情もない」 before he and meoto yujiro got married. which y’know, kinda funny choice considering the other time he used 同情 was when he gave mona that umbrella out of pity that day in the rain

but with the reveal, i guess local demon aizo just couldn’t find it in himself to muster up some pity for the poor human sacrifice who was to be wedded to him

and he chose to fall in love with her instead, i guess, so who’s the real winner here?

On a comedic note, @fcalty once said Archex would crash Hux's wedding by literally crashing a Starhawk into it. I just want to state, Finn will help for free.

⊰ open starter ft. JAMES HOLDEN ⊱

➫ HOLDEN thought he'd snag some time alone, defrost himself after all the tension and danger he's been subject to. Not that he didn't love his crew, they were his family now. But sometimes, even family could be a little too much, the four walls closing in on him, which he never liked. The perks of growing up on a large family farm and being an only child, he presumes. So, the ever curious captain slipped away, making his way into the shopping center, nothing in particular on his mind to get. His stomach protested that he was hungry after awhile of walking around, to which he stopped at a food stall. A few patrons outside so he figured it must have been good, gathering in line behind a few of them. "Anything good to eat here? All I've been eating are dried rations for the past few weeks, so maybe the better question is, anything besides freeze-dried food?"

@factiousfcrged said, ❛ i’m not afraid of anything. not anymore. ❜

" wish i could say the same, " desiderius tilts his head to the side. the wine in his hand swirls against the edge of the glass in a mesmerizing funnel. when they bumped into each other the first time it was the face that attracted him. that strong jaw and that hard gaze. the more time they spent together the more desi found himself pleasantly surprised by not only how smart amos was but how much the other man got him to think about certain aspects of life long buried. " i was a prisoner once. definitely afraid of that happening again. " a smile accompanies the words but it's meant to hide that small rise of fear the thought brought along with it. " especially considering how i spend some of my free time. "

as soon as his service was over desi took his contacts to fred johnson. mainly because the other soldier had reached out. with his pretty face it was easy enough to get people to talk. those contacts built upon themselves until he'd become somewhat of a savant in things people were looking for. desi wanted out of the game. apparently, the game wasn't quite ready to let go.

on the bright side, it allowed him to help people to get on their feet. children, mostly. a lot of his extra funds were diverted to the education system on tycho.

" what about the other side of the spectrum, though? what makes you happy? what keeps you going? "

@factiousfcrged asked: "Too many people have opinions on things they know nothing about. And the more ignorant they are, the more opinions they have." Factiousfcrged

"That is at least two opinions, with a third implied. Are you attempting to confess something to me?"

I've spent the last week and a bit with covid. A bit miserable but useful for catching up with favourite media. When the eyes were sore I started a Silt Verses relisten.

Once the eyes were less sore I started a rewatch of The Expanse.

Covid is no fun but goddamn both of these shows are soooo damn good. Listen to/watch them both, Mab recommended. (For values of 'regular readers know what I like', yeah?)

i think. anyone who picks up on his accent and notices it’s a cyrodiilic one are on guard or at least a bit wary. cyrodiil is a highly militaristic society and the empire revolves around its imperial legion. in tes lore: With its vast numbers, quality training, and rigid discipline, the Legion is considered one of the best armies ever assembled in history. i think people in faerûn would question the motives for him being there as cyrodiil doesn’t concern itself much outside of tamriel or the empire. it’s citizens, likewise, tend not to stray.
