The reason for this remains a mystery to this day.
Most of the earth was destroyed in the war. What was left was rebuilt into scattered islands on a sea of clouds
The clouds are actually a heavier than air gas that is all that remains of most of the old Earth
The dog travels these gas seas, fightan crimes with his lightning eyes. Seeking the severed cyborg head of his lost love
His nemesis is a hideous half spacefrog/half gorilla who used to be his best friend
They met in basic training. Before… THE WAR
The war against the Terrible Space Frogs. Which, as previously stated, didn’t actually look like frogs. And were really kinda cute
Part of the dog’s brain was removed to give him is lightning eye powers, and he no longer remembers his name. Only his lost love. He seeks her in the hope she can unlock the secrets of his distant past.
When the Gypsy Gollems found him after… THE WAR. The War against the Terrible Space Frogs. They nursed his broken body and gave him the name… ERASMO Elvert
…THE WAR. The War against the Terrible Space Frogs. Lasted for one hundred years. The lightning dog soldiers, that were Earth’s best defense against the Terrible Space Frogs, where given hideously extended lives thanks to dark magics
Erasmo’s terrible nemesis SANTO Kieck, seeks to destroy the great engines that maintain the cloud sea and keep it from dissipating. The last of the Terrible Space Frogs are bound within these engines, powering them. Santo desires to free his former masters.
The engines are all but indestructible The severed cybernetic head of Erasmo’s lost love, Zulema Bulwinkle, holds the only key.
Also, Erasmo’s current worst nemesis, former best friend, Santo, used to be a lightning eye shooty dog too. So the whole half spacefrog/half gorilla thing is just super weird.
Cropped image of medieval-stylized printed text, focused on a line which reads: “This wenche thikke”

Thank you for adding this image description! Just wanted to clarify that it’s not stylised, but actual Middle English. The text is from The Canterbury Tales.
Okay, had to track it down. It’s from the Reeve’s Tale, and it’s a description of a 20yo young woman:
This wenche thikke and wel y-growen was, With camuse nose and yën greye as glas; With buttokes brode and brestes rounde and hye, But right fair was hir heer, I wol nat lye.
In modern English (had to look up “camuse”, so that’s as good as my source, but I know the rest)
This wench was thick and well-grown With a pug nose and eyes grey as glass; With buttocks broad and breasts round and high, But right fair was her hair, I will not lie.
The fact that Chaucer had “big butt” and “I will not lie” within two lines of each other is causing me disproportionate amusement. Also the fact that “this wenche thikke” works equally well in Middle English and in modern slang.
nice to know people have always been fokin hornby for thikke wenches
Christianity doesn’t have a clear parallel for Kabbalah, but it has a broad range of mystical practices to draw from. For any christians looking for christian esotericism that isn’t just bootleg Kabbalah, I would recommend the works of Athanasius Kircher, specifically his work on resonance and acoustics.
Christian higher mysteries deal a lot with things like musical ratios, sound, and resonance. In a way, they are seen as proof of gods existence, or at least a meditation on his nature. Why do two voices sound good together, but others do not? What makes a harmony? Truly, the most beautiful choir is the most godly.
I’ve only just now noticed how much of Christianity is based on acoustics and music. All of our chapels and cathedrals are designed for it specifically.
That’s all Kircher! He’s the guy who figured out how to construct cathedrals for the best sound.
not that surprising a man called literally “churcher” was important for the architecture of chruches
His mom really named her kid “Immortal ChurchBuilder” and he became a church building wizard.
Man called Owen Wilson made these posters (found here on Twitter) and the English are going absolutely bonkers with fury, cancelling holidays and supposedly “reporting” him to various UK authorities…and he’s just like, “off you pop,” “Wales isn’t in England” lmao
