vintage
The everpresent tick tick tick tock of a grandfather clock ricochets down a dark hallway as razor sharp rays of sound, bouncing off the walls in odd angles until vanishing into marching whispers, set to the decay of time.
The faint musty smell of old books and stale wood fills every room aside from the kitchen, a room much more lively and warm than the rest, radiating scents of cinnamon and turkey, pushing back against the droning haze in defiance. It's grainy coarse incandescent glow blazing into the darkness of the...

Mystery
Animation by MysteryBen27 - "Ghost" by Mystery Skulls
Enigma buried in the sand, a question mark with broken wings that lies in silent grace as a marker in a desert shrine. Odd how the real consorts with the shadows, how the present fuses with the past. How does it happen? The question is on file in the silent desert. And the answer? The answer is waiting for us in the Twilight Zone.
The Twilight Zone Season 2, episode 1 by Rod Serling

First, we met the boundaries and constrictions of time.
Then, we ventured into the infinite wonders of space.
Next, we unfolded the powers of energy.
Now, we close this chapter with what really matters the most--matter.
Everything you see in front of you at the moment, whether it's a computer, a phone, a mouse, a chair, a cat, a half-eaten sandwich, a toilet paper roll, a cup of milk, or another person, if weight can be measured and space has been taken up, then there is matter. Matter, on a...

soul
"A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people." -Mahatma Gandhi
The part of us that we cannot see. There are many ways it has been described. It's our personality, our feelings, our source of actions, our foundation, our core. It is our very being.
Our soul.
Everything we think and feel stem from who we are. The essence of a person. It is a unique thing. No two people are ever alike; yet, we are all still the same in that we understand and grasp the enigma known as the soul. What is the very...

sleep
"Sleep is not a waste of time. It's a time to recharge your batteries and dream new dreams" -Unknown
What is sleep?
Sometimes, an ironic, rhetorical question used when someone's sleep-deprived.
But, what is sleep?
Sleep is a state characterized by altered consciousness, inhibited sensory activity, and reduced muscle activity. It is beneficial to our physical and mental health as it's a way to re-charge our 'battery' and have energy for the new day.
In the quiet moments between waking and dreaming, where reality...

energy
Energy is a powerful force that drives all life forms and fuels actions and movements.
In the realm of physics, Newton's law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. For example, the Earth receives energy from the Sun, windmill blades harness energy from the wind, and objects like an apple on a table possess potential energy that can lead to kinetic energy, causing them to roll off the table.
However, energy goes beyond the physical realm. It encompasses the...

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.”
— Carl Sagan
Space; the twin of time; space, the ultimate frontier; space, the embodiment of our reality, the realm we yearn to explore, the domain within which we exist.
Space encompasses unparalleled fascination, formidable awe, and intricate complexity. Whether defined as the three-dimensional plane we reside within or the vast expanse of the universe we call home, its allure never ceases to captivate us. Space abounds with adventure and fuels our imagination, seamlessly blending scientific marvels with a touch of magic. Since time immemorial, the stars have served as narrative catalysts...

Well my, my, my is that the sound of a clock? And what can a clock tell us? Time.
Time, an old concept that continues to dictate many lives to this day. It helps to measure the longevity of an idea, object, or action. Time is said to help heal wounds. Time is said to standardize work days. Time is said to establish continuous movement of life. With this universal measurement, we see seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years pass. And within all those measurable moments, insurmountable experiences happening all at once. We are all...

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery
There's no denying that stories, books, and movies frequently use the adage "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (or something similar). But what exactly does it mean? When it comes to the beauty inside of us, appearances can be particularly deceptive.
Both the words we tell ourselves and the reflections we see in the mirror are misleading. I challenge everyone of us to take a quick look in the mirror and ask, "What do I see?"
Do you ever find yourself looking for bad things? What if we began to value them by replacing those self-doubting phrases with "I...

Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never. In nothing, great or small, large or petty. Never give in.
—Winston Churchill
What is determination? The part of us that rises against the rage of the machine, an unyielding force that shines brightest in the dark.
Determination is what allows us achieve our goals and overcome our challenges. A powerful resolve that makes us willing to take risks, to push ourselves to our limits, and to stand up for what we believe in, even in the face of opposition.
Most importantly, determination gives us the strength kind to ourselves and to others. Determination is not just about achieving our own goals, but about lifting others up...

“Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.”
—Seneca
It can be presented at any moment, with any action, decision, or consequence that an individual participates in. An opportunity. Can it be from luck? Or was it due to chance? Well, everyday we are all faced with various situations whether they are challenging or simple. How we decide to approach them can bring about many outcomes. From there we can either take it as an opportunity for something to come out of it. Some may simply not have to acknowledge the opportunities they were presented and ride along with what they feel is luck but as Seneca said, this may just be them being prepared for those opportunities.
So if a chance...

“A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.”
—Eeyore, Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne
As 2023 makes its mark, new hopes, goals, and resolutions are shared. They can be tangible at times, but more often than not, they are actions and changes within ourselves.
Kindness.
Life is full of stumbling blocks without an instruction manual. Some days will be better than others. Kindness spreads from one person to the next by surrounding ourselves with good deeds, generosity, and upbeat attitudes. We are social beings, and we have our love language. It includes words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, and more.
How do you spread kindness? Is it donating...

The Moon and the Rabbit have long been prominent figures in the storytelling traditions of various cultures around the world. In East Asian folklore, for example, the Chinese story of Chang'e, the Korean celebration of Chuseok, and the Japanese tradition of Tsukimi all feature the Moon and Rabbit prominently. Indigenous Native American traditions also connect the Moon and Rabbit. These stories, which are often as beautiful as the Moon itself, are often inspired by the rabbit-shaped outline on the lunar surface and center on themes of mystery and love.
One of the reasons the Moon and Rabbit have such enduring appeal is the rich symbolism and meaning that each holds individually, and the...

Ever heard of the five basic tastes? Sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and umami. See the first word? That's right---SWEET! Surely we've all tried something sweet once right? What are the first things that pop into your head when you think of the sweet? Candy? Baked goods? Maybe even your pet? Well, I mean not in the sense of consuming them! Rather describing them as a creature whom you have adoration for. There's a certain type of feeling that sweets and anything sweet can offer you. Some may feel contentment while others may feel a warm fuzziness. Maybe even something close to comfort.

Creating a world from scratch can be difficult. Being inspired by a favorite book, show, or movie you love and researching and having information on an author’s work and muse can help brainstorm concepts and ideas for your world.
By constructing questions about the world we want to build, like a jigsaw puzzle, the world can come to life little by little! Is the world in space? On Earth?
As roleplayers, we have the best ingredient imagination. As writers, we can weave words together to carve details. Will flowers bloom as you walk across the desolate land? With a touch, will the gates open and buildings appear?

With the end of September in sight, and the beginning of a new October, the autumnal harvest season has come for some pastures throughout the globe. And though no two places are the same, and the seasons vary, it is nonetheless a good opportunity to take consideration of the bountiful fruits which one's labor has produced; autumn now begins, and a new year begins to etch itself closer by the day. Though it may be colder, it is still a time for many ventures to be had, and much beauty to be seen. Just like the leaves drop, another Newsletter now falls down for you to read.

The world's oceans are vast, dark, cold, and empty. An environment representing the very definition of loneliness and despair, and yet the gentle leviathans we know of as Whales live their entire lives within the ocean depths, singing songs to each other across the vast expanse. Keeping each other company in an otherwise impossibly isolating existence.
Music is, as with whales, a form of communication that is unique to us in that it doesn't need to be understood to be effective. The very idea of music is one which can fill our hearts, spill from our eyes, and rise up in our fists.
Music reaches you in a way so unique that it's nearly indescribable. Pure emotion, be it pain...

A glass slipper, a poisoned apple, a golden goose–you hear all these odd descriptions but immediately connect them to stories, fairytales to be exact. What makes a story a fairytale? They’re tales that take place in a fantastical setting with notable characters of humans and supernatural creatures being present in the same world.
We have Little Red Riding Hood with a young girl dressed in a striking red hood who visits her grandma only to find out that it’s a wolf in her place. Or in another world, a young girl with beautiful, golden hair stumbles upon an empty cabin, eats some porridge and eventually falls asleep on a bed.

🏛️ MYTHOLOGY
Mythology has been a part of Human culture since the dawn of the species, culminating into an endless wealth of stories, legends, religions, and philosophical ponderings about the world we all exist in together. From Gods and Goddesses to Mud Men and Faerie Women, there is always something so captivating and fascinating about the myths and legends we share with each other.
Many in the West first think to Greek Mythos, of Zeus and the pantheon of Greek deities, or to modern myths of Bigfoot, Mothman, or Loch Ness. Though there are so many more stories to tell, and never enough time to hear them all. Native to North America are the more widely known stories of the Wendigo spirit, the god-like Thunderbird, and the Inuit...

COSPLAY
Through cosplay, one can expect to find blossoming friendships, bouts of confidence, and everlasting memories. More importantly, it brings the satisfaction of impersonating a different persona, even if only for a brief moment. Let's face it—we've all had moments in our lifetime where we idolized a character to the point where we wanted to be them. By achieving such a desire, we would temporarily be freed from the reins of reality, a society where strict social norms and expectations are placed upon us.
Cosplay serves as a form of safe haven, where these expectations are removed in the world of fiction, where one can assume whichever personality they wish to portray...

MEMORIES
“I still hear you in the breeze, see your shadows in the trees, holding on, memories never change”
- Monody by TheFatRat ft. Laura Brehm
Memory is essential to the human condition, whether it is good or bad. They are forged and forgotten, but their impact on the world endures; there is something worth remembering in every day of our lives, sometimes we miss it, but sometimes we catch it. Either in a photograph, a recording, a scent, a shirt, a notebook, and so on.
We'll find it again, somehow, someday.
What we do still has an impact and it is important.
What we do, what we experience, what we lose, and what we find are all eternal. In some way, they are etched into our...
