Today I spent more money than I ever thought I would on a single bottle of "beer". I am sure it's not worth it and I will probably not like it but it is a bucket list beer. @abeeradaywithtk #bucketlist #samadams #samadamsbrewery #utopias #whitewhale #2021 #firstworldproblems #amonamarth #dc #beer #beernerd #beerporn #beergasm #beerpics #gingeryetiroadbeers #gingeryeti #abeeradaywithtk #brewtube (at 1 West Dupont Circle Wines And Liquors) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClPdWlzp9Vn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love Diane

[Transcript]:

Guy: What about that girl who opened up a lemonade stand to help pay for her father’s cancer treatment? Diane: How is that a feel-good story? “Hey, America! We’re the only developed nation without subsidized healthcare, so this child joined the workforce in a desperate bid to keep her father alive!”

[later]

Guy: Whitewhale’s not evil. They’re just capitalists. Diane: What’s the difference?!

[dinoburger]

I scraped as many forums as I could find for more info and theories on Eastward, I know a lot of folks were as confused as I was so I wanted to compile everything I could find and remember - hopefully it clears things up a little more

consider this a work in progress, I might correct or add things, will also try to add sources where possible - a lot of stuff is just so scattered and there's so much info that it's hard to do

also, if anyone has anything to add, clarifications, other observations etc., feel free to mention them here, this is just a general rundown of all the info I could find and what's relevant

Mother, Charon and the MIASMA

Mother and Charon were created in tandem, one to purge humanity and the other to rebuild it from scratch every time

the ultimate goal of Mother, Charon and the human factories is to create the perfect version of humanity

human pods can create totally custom human beings, but this isn't enough

Mother was created for and is used to power the human factories

there's a line of dialogue that implies the older Solomon was actually in charge of Mother before the sea captain, Cap'n Pam took her from him

(this could confirm that Solomon is indeed some kind of harvester, or was supposed to be but decided to protect Ester City specifically - the Rocket Knight Legion also talks about being afraid of the MIASMA so it's at least known about before the time loop is set in place)

Mother was actually fairly close to the Rocket Knight Legion during her time living in Ester City (to the point where Sam feels sad about them, even when she hadn't known them long herself)

at some point after knowing the Rocket Legion, Mother must have become embittered towards humanity again

I found where the "53 cycles" comes from! This little tidbit, so yes it seems like at the least, Whitewhale Bay has seen 53 total wipes from the MIASMA

Sam

the prevailing theory about Sam and Mother is that the pods that created her are scattered all over Eastward, Mother's immortality is secured by having herself cloned and then using her psychic abilities to project her consciousness into the new body

(Charon may also be tied to sustaining Sam's immortality somehow? we've sort of seen this through Alva, being cloned and spread throughout the land after Isabel somehow merges her with Charon, she becomes a free-floating spirit type thing, idk I guess there are also canonical ghosts so that might not be as much a side effect of Charon, who the fuck even knows)

this works with the aforementioned information about Mother powering the human factories

using a huge burst of her psychic energy in Greenberg is speculated to be the reason why she temporarily lost her memories of there too

John

John is in his 40's

it's theorized that John is selectively mute due to his lack of dialogue, there are instances where it's implied he talks though and one instance of Sam suggesting that John reads to her (it shows that he can talk circumstantially)

New Dam City

Isabel was genetically engineered and created in a human factory, this is confirmed in a dialogue between her and Solomon

Alva and Lee's grandfather came from Ester City and invented the Buddha fan

(This likely makes Lee and Alva siblings or cousins - it's not 100% confirmed as the Wiki calls them childhood friends, but they grew up together under the same roof from a young age and both refer to their grandfather as their grandfather)

(We do not know anything about Lee and Alva's actual parents though, so they may very well be adoptive grandchildren - Hillman says something to the effect of "I don't know what your grandfather saw in that boy" to Alva, perhaps backing up that Lee was taken on rather than already biologically related)

Isabel was also picked up by Lee and Alva's grandfather (it seems like this was later down the timeline, Lee and Alva were likely a bit older when she was introduced, which is why her relationship with Alva seems more romantic in nature than familial)

Lee, Alva and their grandfather used to live in Oldtown when the two kids were small, their grandfather's old house is adjacent to a human factory that Mother complains is damaged beyond repair and has specimens missing

this is where we can assume Isabel was found and how the grandfather managed to save the people of Oldtown before the MIASMA struck, by learning when it was coming and vandalizing the factory

(I don't know if it's confirmed whether the grandfather is dead or alive, Alva talks about "borrowing" his mansion but it's never really delved into I don't think)

(man I don't even think we get a clear explanation as to why the slime breeding furnace was needed or how the cure that Alva was trying to make was supposed to work)

Solomon

the original Professor Solomon created the time barrier to "protect" Ester City, keeping everyone trapped inside

the younger iteration(s) of Solomon are most likely clones (old Solomon has been trapped inside Ester City for possibly thousands of years? he does manage to survive for a while outside the time loop though meaning either he does have the tech to sustain himself for that long, or even old Solomon is a clone of a much much older Solomon)

(I believe it's never made clear whether there are in fact two younger Solomon clones running around - one in New Dam and the other in Ester City's time fog - or if time shenanigans cause the initial young Solomon clone to have aged and forget Sam and John)

young Solomon, Sam and Isabel are all depicted with some form of psychic powers (young Solomon levitates, Sam is obvious and Isabel can create projections of herself seen in the penultimate fight) - and if the clone theory is correct then all were also created in human factories, perhaps insinuating that the ultimate form of humanity is supposed to have powers of some sort

in the final fight with Solomon he talks about "the other one", he knows the duality of Sam's existence and her being possessed by Mother (likely what spurs him to instigate the final attack on the party to force Mother back into control)

Ester City

Guy is the original creator of Earth Born, he also created something called an "emotion chip" designed for the robot citizens of Eastward (I guess to process emotions more naturally?)

Livy engineered the Sandrupes that populate Crockpot Isle

the Time Isles (I believe that's what the island location out from Ester City is called?) also have what look to be the same crabs as the ones found in Crockpot Isle

the Finale

I think there's essentially two theories about what really happens in the ending, after Sam sacrifices herself to destroy Mother

riding off the former theory, future Sam is another pod clone (likely one who is no longer possessed by Mother, or possibly a reformed version of both Sam and Mother that just doesn't have her memories yet)

the second one is time shenanigans of some sort, Sam managing to alter time itself during her sacrifice

a lot of this was just what I could scrape from Reddit or stuff that's in the game

I'm also crediting this essay for bringing up the psychic stuff mainly because I did not notice it

[thegroundhogdidit]

i'm struggling to articulate it, but there's a lot that eastward did SO WELL in the very first area of the game. the mayor is repeatedly shown to be an incompetent, power mad asshole who nobody can stand. he knows about the miasma, he knows about charon, but he gets everything wrong. the miasma hasn't turned the world into a wasteland. the train that comes through isn't charon, because charon stops for nobody, much less a few people who made someone look bad.

the bells in potcrock isle are the same as esther city. everyone in esther city is just as trapped as those in potcrock isle.

they foreshadowed william and daniel so well that the second i heard their names i knew who they were.

potcrock isle is a regime. whitewhale bay is a community. new dam city is a group of people just trying to survive. esther city is a sanctuary, but one where memories go to die.

everyone in potcrock isle was wrong. but they were right in their own ways

Ventotene fashion week by E&R quinta edizione, dal 18 al 20 Agosto 2023.

Nello splendore e nel fascino dell'isola pontina, dal 18 al 20 agosto 2023, si aprirà il sipario sulla quinta edizione del grande evento "Ventotene Fashion Week" ideato e organizzato dalla stilista internazionale Elena Rodica Rotaru. Gli organizzatori della manifestazione sono l'associazione Lika Eventi, Pandataria Film Srl in collaborazione con il Comune di Ventotene.

Tre giorni che presenteranno il fascino della moda, del design, della bellezza e dei colori artistici dell'isola.

Ventotene Fashion Week è un evento legato alla moda e ispirato alle caratteristiche identitarie dell'isola di Ventotene, ma è anche un concorso per stilisti emergenti, sarti, negozi di abbigliamento e coinvolge anche l'arte e la gastronomia italiana. Diventa sempre più importante caratterizzare gli eventi coinvolgendo le persone che abitano i territori e che, quindi, ne fanno una manifestazione di partecipazione che viaggia insieme alla proposta di abbigliamento e di immagine. Ventotene, vento dell’anima, tzunami del cuore. Ti lascio e ti ritrovo sempre con l’ansia di un amante.
Vulcano emerso, “cono di bottiglia”, approdo sicuro per cuori ed ali affaticate.
Saperti ferma con ogni mare, rifugio tranquillo del mio spirito, evochi e semplifichi le mie fughe.
Scoglio del cuore, vento dell’anima… mano tesa sostieni piccoli grandi uomini, uccelli coraggiosi e stanchi.
Terra di confine, orizzonte finito… semplice e dolce accogli imperatori, puttane, poeti e patrioti, dissidenti e gente controvento…

VISIBILITÀ

L’evento oltre il contest metterà in condizione gli stilisti di poter proporre le loro collezioni moda alla presenza di giornalisti, fashion blogger , fotografi specializzati attori e cantanti, oltre ad essere visto da un folto pubblico in tv e su vari social. L’evento sarà messo in risalto da vari giornali e riviste di moda italiana e internazionale. Ogni stilista potrà esibire 10-15 capi scelti della propria collezione ed evidenziare il proprio talento non solo davanti alle telecamere, agli ospiti e fotoreporter ma anche davanti una giuria,la quale assegnerà il premio:
