"Stellar Ancestry: Unveiling the Ancient Andeans' Cosmic Connection"

Andeans and the cosmos is deeply rooted in their cosmology and worldview, reflecting a holistic integration of their spiritual beliefs, agricultural practices, and societal organization.

The profound connection between the ancient Andeans and the cosmos is deeply rooted in their cosmology and worldview, reflecting a holistic integration of their spiritual beliefs, agricultural practices, and societal organization. The Andean cosmology, characterized by its complexity and depth, emphasizes a symbiotic relationship between humans, nature, and celestial bodies, underscoring the…

Thus, although the majority view holds that there is a harmonious coexistence, some physicists and philosophers consider the exact relationship between quantum mechanics, entangled particles, and special relativity is an open question.

*With the threat of Mikado finally vanquished, the Andromeda Cloth finally leaves Tenko's body, and goes back to its "Totem" form, before starting to interact with the Phoenix Cloth, who looks much more calm now that Mikado is gone*

Woah....finally its off...that was quite exhausting to wear.

I wonder how those two armours are talking to each other.

Then again, I wouldn't know where to start.

Iron Heart (Tony) and Webspinner (Peter) joining the mane six making them instead the mane eight as the elements of Protection and Compassion

Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of… honesty! Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of… kindness! Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of… laughter! Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of… generosity! And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of… loyalty! Iron Heart, who put himself in-between us and danger represents the spirit of… protection! Webspinner who helped keep us calm and safe as we travelled the forest represents the spirit of… compassion!

The spirits of these seven ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us

You still don't have the sixth Element! The spark didn't work! But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all... are my friends! You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the eighth element: the element of... magic!

Pony Tony and Peter made here while their cutie marks were added later. Full pics alongside rambles below

I don't think much would change early in the show and haven't really thought this au through season by season. So other than extra episodes devoted the pining between these two and others trying desperately to get them together it could in any direction. What I have definitely thought of though is that Canterlot Wedding would change significantly as the gang would realize something is wrong with Cadence. Because as soon as Twilight tells them she's the Alicorn of love and they see Crysalis as Cadence doing nothing to get these two idiots together the mane 6 would immediately be on guard. It would be unfathomable to them she wouldn't start locking the two in closets together and other such antics if she really was the Alicorn of love. And so those episodes would certainly change as maybe even Celestia was eagerly anticipating Cadence sorting the two out and finds it odd (She would have read all about the pair's pining from Twilights letters they were practically her favourite soap opera at that point)

If anybody has any other ideas for story changes please tell me them

Iron Heart (Tony) would have gotten his cutie mark when the sonic rainboom shone through the window behind him and showed him gave him where the coding errors in his first magic based ai (DUM-E) were. I imagine Tony would focus on building things that help others straight up as there doesn't really seem a need in Equestria for weapons and that here the arc reactor is a magical storage device that allows for Earth and Pegasus ponies to 'cast' magic or use magic powered tools that work like spells do for Unicorns. He would I like to think also be a favoured source of guard armour for Celestia due to his skill so he could also act as a guide for Twilight around Ponyville due to the two of them maybe already having met and being sort of friends. This allows him to help her to get settled in the early episodes. Such as advising Twilight to act as the organiser in Winter Wrap-Up from the start. The reason he lives in such a small town as opposed to Canterlot or Manehatten has absolutely no relation to his crush Peter and is only because he likes the nature of the town, honest.

Webspinner (Peter) gained his from helping some of his childhood (colthood sorry couldn't resist) friends from falling by catching them by making a cloud that stops them falling. Not extra ordinary on its own but considering they weren't Pegasus ponies it was extremely unique and shows his talent at cloud making as well as his core being about looking after others. This would relate to the rainboom as the rainboom would have been what shocked the other ponies and caused them to fall while also illuminating the perfect cloud for Peter to use his pegesus magic to altee the clouds structures. I kinda imagined Peter's role in Ponyville would be similar to how he acts in the mcu and other timeline, helping ponies out who need help and stopping others from harming anypony, but on a more official level. A possible episode he could have a major part in changing is Lesson Zero maybe by realising early on what's going on with Twilight and manages to get her to deal with the problem before casting an unsafe spell on other ponies.

Chapter 18: Capturing the Traitors

(At Avalon Park, Tikki grows disturbed.)

TIKKI: Marinette! I felt a negative aura. Adrien’s in danger!

MARINETTE: Wait. I didn’t tell my new friends about the news! They’re probably after Adrien again! No time to lose!

(She takes out the flight magicaroon and feeds it to Tikki.)

MARINETTE: Power up!

(Tikki’s wings and antennae turn blue.)

TIKKI: Space Tikki!

MARINETTE: Spots on!

(She transforms into Cosmo-Bug and flies off. At the mob circle, several of Zeta’s eagle soldiers drop campfire logs. Frank nervously lights a match and sets them on fire.)

LUNA-TK: This will teach you not to betray the people you pretend to care about!

ADRIEN: Wait. I can get Marinette on the line!

(Adrien attempts to call Marinette.)

MARINETTE’S VOICEMAIL: It’s Marinette. Leave a message. Beep! He-he!

(He looks up nervously.)

SAM: Rope them!

MABEL: Cage them!

(The mob closes in.)

ADRIEN: Marinette, I don’t know if you can hear me, but you forgot to tell your new friends about Lila, and they sentenced us to death.

(Flying over Eight at East Apartments, Cosmo-Bug eyes her yo-yo and locates Adrien.)

LADYBUG: Florida Mall parking lot. Hang on, Adrien.

(Meanwhile, the Minions toss a huge net over the group. Standing on the cage, the Trolls wrap their hair, Growly Pete his mustache, around the group’s wrists, ankles, and necks, then the Minions start to drag them backward with the net’s ropes.)

ADRIEN: You need to answer eventually, or we’ll all be destroyed!

(A long way down the highway, Cosmo-Bug flies past the Arepa Station. The humidity starts to make her sweat and run out of breath. Fighting against the restraints, Adrien tries to call Marinette again. The Wolf pups and assist by scratching and snapping them.)

ADRIEN: Come on.

MARINETTE’S VOICEMAIL: It’s Marinette. Leave a message. Beep! He-he!

ADRIEN: Come on, Marinette. Answer.

(The Minions and Trolls continue to drag the group toward the cage.)

ADRIEN: (STRAINING) I’ll never give in!

(The group shoots forward, tripping the Minions, but it doesn’t last long as they quickly regain control of the ropes.)

ADRIEN: What could you possibly be doing that you can’t pick up right now?

(Cosmo-Bug now huffs and puffs past Orlando International Airport.)

LADYBUG: I… can’t… stop. No… matter… what.

(The group continues trying and failing to resist their restraints.)

(At the back, Tom squeezes Henry the Minion against the rear of the cage. As the Trolls attempt to close it, the door bonks Adrien’s head.)

ADRIEN: Hey, there’s a limit.

(Meanwhile, Cosmo-Bug stops and struggles to catch her breath.)

COSMO-BUG: (DEHYDRATED) Okay. I need to get a water for the road.

(Meanwhile, the caged captives suffer abuse from the Crossover Characters. The Wolf Pups poke at them with spears. The Minions strangle them through the narrow openings. The Royal Woods and Great Lakes City students electrocute them with tasers.)

(Cosmo-Bug stops at a 7-Eleven off the airport highway exit and de-transforms. Now as Marinette, she goes to the fridges in the back and picks out a 20-ounce Aquafina bottle. At the front, she attempts to swipe her card at the pin pad, but it reads, “NOT ACCEPTED”.)

MARINETTE: Come on.

(She tries more times, faster, then slower, but still gets the same result each time.)

MARINETTE: Fine. I’ll pay with cash.

(She passes the cashier five dollars. Later, she leaves and continues flying. Meanwhile, Adrien struggles to make another attempt at escaping, but is yanked backwards by the Minions. The Trolls manage to lower the cage opening, then Terence and Brick hold it closed.)

(Walking over, Luna-TK receives the lucky charm from Branch, who had dug into Adrien’s bag, then walks away.)

ADRIEN: You’re making a mistake.

LUNA-TK: Who’s ready to watch the traitors perish?

(Everyone cheers. Meanwhile, a rehydrated Cosmo-Bug flies over Oceaneering Entertainment Systems. She hears the commotion in the Florida Mall parking lot ahead. In the cage, Adrien watches helplessly as Luna-TK puts her hand over the strengthening campfire.)

ADRIEN: No!

(Cosmo-Bug flies toward the mob and watches Luna-TK drop the charm.)

ADRIEN: No!

(Cosmo-Bug extends her yo-yo and catches the charm just before it falls in. The mob notices her as she lands and storms over to them.)

COSMO-BUG: What are you guys doing?!

LUNA-TK: We were about to burn the traitors’ good luck away and then kill them so that they wouldn’t…

COSMO-BUG: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kill them? Spots off.

(She de-transforms, shocking the travel group.)

MARINETTE: I wanted them sent back to Paris, not murdered!

(Terence and Brick release the cage. The Minions do the same with the ropes, then lift the cage door open, releasing the travel group.)

MARINETTE: “Lila Rossi’s reign over Paris continues to grow. Ladybug and Cat Noir nowhere to be seen to stop her.” I know they’ve wronged me in plenty of ways, but torture and murder is not the answer. We have to go back to Paris and take the city back.

(Everyone looks at each other.)

LUNA-TK: Okay. We’ll follow your lead.

(Marinette looks up at Luna-TK.)

Unique kind of piece today, I usually have trouble writing programmatic works, but this one is designed around a very specific feeling I've tried to express musically a few times before.

Specifically, the unease one can get when trying to understand the incomprehensible size and scale of the universe/cosmos. This also includes the sense of smallness one can feel when comparing the universe to the comparetively small size of all human and earthly affairs.

In the past, I've tried to express this idea somewhat literally, but here I was simply going for the emotions on their own, and I think it turned out better than my previous attempts. Good chance I will try to extend this piece one day.

As always, these pieces are welcome for anyone and everyone to play! All I ask is that you share it with me, because I'd love to hear it done by live players!

Joseph Campbell, THE MYSTERY NUMBER OF THE GODDESS

The Indian (Sānkhya) philosophers recognized as arising three “qualities or characteristics” (guṇas), through the interrelation of which all of “nature” (prakṛti) was seen as motivated; namely, “inertia, mass, or heaviness” (tamas); “energy and vitality” (rajas); and the “harmony or clarity” (sattva) of any balanced relationship of the opposed two. In Pythagorean terms, the same three would correspond, respectively, to (1) the “unlimited,” (2) the “limiting,” and (3) the “harmony” or “fitting together” (harmonia) of any “beautiful order of things” (kosmos), whether as a macrocosm (the universe), microcosm (an individual), or mesocosm (ideal society or work of art). And the number representative in that system of such a visible order is 4.

The Pythagorean tetraktys, viewed as an upward-pointing triangle built of 9 points with a tenth, as bindu, in the center, suggests an Indian tantric diagram (yantra) symbolic of the female power in its spiritually alluring role recognized by Goethe in the last two lines of his Faust: “Das Ewig-Weibliche/Zieht uns hinan!”

The trinity here is not of three male divinities with the Virgin then as a feminine fourth but of the classical three Graces with Apollo as a masculine fourth. Both the names and the postures of the Graces tell of the qualities of their influence: (1) Thalia (“Blooming, Abundance”) unites and relates her opposed companions; (2) Euphrosyne (“Mirth, Festivity, Good Cheer”) moves away from the God to the descent, ninefold, of the Muses; while (3) Aglaia (“Splendor, Beauty, Triumph, Adornment”) confronts him, returning to source. Pico and Ficino revered these three as an exemplary triad archetypal of all the others of classical myth. In Pico’s words, “He that understands profoundly and clearly how the unity of Venus is unfolded in the trinity of the Graces, and the unity of Necessity in the trinity of the Fates, and the unity of Saturn in the trinity of Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto, knows the proper way of proceeding in Orphic theology.” For as Edgar Wind points out in commenting on this passage, “it was an axiom of Platonic theology that every god exerts his power in a traidic rhythm.”

An attempt at a color script

I was kind of dreading this at first, but after gathering references it didn't feel so bad. It's interesting how different the results feel than what I had imagined. I'll have to think about if I want to change the lighting to make this a bit... lighter? Anyway, I tried to capture important moments in the short where the lighting and color might be unique. I should be able to use this as a map/guide to lighting my scenes. Onto modeling!

And of course, here are my reference images. I think they look pretty :]

One harmonious possibility is that string enthusiasts and loop quantum gravity aficionados are actually constructing the same theory, but from vastly different starting points.
