well, i found something good about the slip arc. it’s the idea that homesickness in the future will be a physical illness that manifests in those especially who will never have the chance to return to earth. cause im gonna be real i wasnt paying attn because i didnt want to but the way i understand it people on new kinshasa weren’t affected by this, people in the upper echelons of sarasvahti (ie people who had money to spend and lives to lead by doing so) weren’t affected by it: only Brahma pests and those too poor for earth to ever be a dream in their hearts were ailing with a homesickness so potent and concrete that it led to physical symptoms.

and i fucking love that. i love that so much, i think theres this divide btwn ppl who would love to go to space and who love the idea of aliens and whatever and then you have those who get sick thinking about the idea that for years the planet has existed with a certain number of souls less than it’s supposed to have because theres always been people on the space station and i FIRMLY belong to that second category so like... this is SO good to me, it’s so fucking real

#penumb #again .... im gonna mention the sacred text this is getting embarrassing but idc its why i love that jet & rita are from earth in ambrosia #and i love the inclusion of second cit in there just on the basis of the fact that it melds so well and i love it #but also because i love how earth has grown and evolved and done so in a pretty insular way all things considered??#because its now considered backwards and old school and wht have you and obviously this isnt canon bc it wouldnt mesh with the homesickness #and also its not canon bc it just isnt but in ambrosia earth has sort of evolved beyond capitalism because theyve had to #bc they are living with the direct results of what human technologies have done in those ghost dinosaurs #and because at least how it comes across with the jet storyline it seems that earth has become a glorified parking lot #an in betweeny for dark matters to park their spaceship when looking for the unnatural disaster #i dont actually know if its canon that jet is from earth i feel like we've not heard jack about earth ever except for that illness #but like to me jet will always be from earth because it explains ... so much to me #this idea of natural disasters which im sure exist on other planets (i mean hello venus global warming) but they still all come back to #us and the way he's so self contained and self controlled seems to have something that for me resonates with earth too #idk. anyway idk if that author even knows what theyve done to my worldview with that fic its unreal
