#I LOVED that class

[ben-phantomhive]

you made a mockementary? that’s super cool, may i ask what it was about?

Of course! It was very short (3 mins if i remember correctly) and I made it for class.

It was a documentary about the human race from the point of view of an alien. It described generally what a human is, how we use transport without being able to use our terminology (for example referring to train as long metal tubes) and explained why we use transportation. It ends with a small analysis of how we communicate with each other and our place in the planet

It was a bit of a challenge to make since all the footage I recorded couldn't be used (problems with the camera i used) so I had to use free stock images and videos. Luckily the government of my country has a lot of videos about our train system

For the sound I used a bit of copyright free music and a text to speech tool (the one used for Gabriels voice in Mandela Catalogue) to give it an eerie and nonhuman feeling

Sadly I cannot share it because it has my personal information

blood corn king?

Blood corn king.

For context, this all took place when I was 17. Our big project in first year botany class was to do a vegetable garden. Each group got assigned a veg. Mine got corn. As a part of this project, we also had to make the soil and fertiliser that would be most beneficial for our respective veg (this process included standing around a barrel and pouring and mixing cow manure for 3 hours in the sun everyday but besides the point). And I was very protective and such of my little harvest patch. And I don’t really know how it began. I know I was the one who brought it up — I think I’d cut myself and said something about the blood getting into the soil and feeding our corn.

From there, it spiralled a little. I started joking that I would feed my corn patch human blood and create an army of bloodthirsty corn that would take over the world and I would be their leader and king, and then seriously ruminating about the affect blood would have on a harvest. I was really into it, absolutely fascinated by it (which is actually what kickstarted my mild obsession with mycology but that a different matter). So this one guy who drew comics sketched this out. It was iconic. The first panel is me cutting my palm and feeding the soil the blood, then it’s the stages of growth. The final panel was amazing. The corn had teeth and were chomping on human remains while the world was on fire and I was stood above them all declaring “I AM THE BLOOD CORN KING” — I kept that little comic for ages, I’d post it if I could find it. In the end, the corn was perfectly normal and edible. Bit of an upset, but it was delicious.

(To be fair this was the same botany class where, for extra credits, we could come in dressed as a plant of our choice so long as we brought in 5 facts about it (as long as it wasn’t a rose - the prof hated roses) and I came in wearing a Victorian undertakers suit and hat with ghostly white and black face paint - my flower was a white lily, popular funerary flower. I really went off on the most dramatic delivery of plant facts. I got 10 points.)

Random knowledge from a microbiology class I took:

My microbiology teacher told my class that chest colds and head colds are actually two different strains of rhinovirus.

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

I could go on bout Class of '09 and its writing but my main takeaway from that game is that they missed the chance to replicate the 2000s Teletoon era style of cartoon like your 6teens, Stoked, Detentionaires. Total dramas, etc
