In Which I wonder: Are we on a Permian Moment, or are we on the Triassic?

Good evening, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you, today? Hope you have been well this week? I wish I did write sooner, we are on the eve of my blog's birthday, this publication is closer to being 10 years of existence, which is insane, and a bit odd. I do not know, at all, how to celebrate this year's, I haven't had good ideas for a while on how to mark the moment, as much as I'd love to. We'll see, I may write a short story, write a poem or something. Truth is I am still recouping from my big 2019 project(!), the over the garden wall fanfiction. How absurd that it took me so long,  but that ambitious project did cause me to become creatively tired, on this theme. This week was harsh in some moments, as I was suffering immensely from deep loneliness and lack of any inch of hope for better moments. Specially on last week's Sunday. I am recovering, but I still consider myself to be on a fragile state. I need to catch up with my college stuff too, I think I can do it, but I cannot postpone it for much longer. I will get it done, I suppose, hopefully. Today, I am okay, one step at a time. Rather not be too somber, though at times it can be cathartic.

So, I don't think I have written on the subject of the A-Pop-Calypse for a while. I was not entirely sure of what to write anymore. It has been a permian extinction event, I wonder if we are still on that desert wasteland with vulcanic ash all around, that is the very late permian, or are we on the age of the odd reptiles and synapsides, which was the Triassic. You know, the Triassic was one of the most weird moments in geological history. We had lizards with necks double their own size, we had animals that looked like turtles, looked like crocodiles, but they were not even related to those. We had the last hurrah for some successful species in the previous era, the Permian, before the two million year rains would wash it all away. As such, we have small indie titles from youtubers gaining traction on the cinemas, and as the big titles dwindle and perish, smaller ones may emerge, fun how the free market, when allowed, heals itself, thank God for that. You know, the biological world is not as forgiving, we may even see superhero movies to become relevant again in the future (I pray not), but their heyday is gone, its wave anyway. The trilobite will not have the same mercy, once his era was over, he died, end of story. We will never have trilobites again. People complain of human nature and pray for a "mother Earth", I have no patience for those stupids. I am afraid it is the other way around.

Did I mention the story of the shrimp and the starfish on my biology book? There is this beautiful image of a shrimp being hugged by a starfish, and I was so amused at how kind those animals were dwelling together. Then, I read the description of the image: the starfish was actually trying to gobble up the shrimp, who was fighting for his dear life. We can hug, those two beings, though, if they look themselves in a mirror, it will be surprising if they see any color at all, let alone have the concept of existing. Fun how it works. 

How can we celebrate my blog's birthday this year? It is corn season as well! We will have corn, and fireworks, and fireplaces... truth is I haven't seen those in a while, alas. I did write about how much of things seem muted today in comparison to before. CDs still exist, but I only use my portable cd driver once in a lifetime... sad how one staple ends. The blog will keep on going, though! Hopefully they won't end Blogspot. I am happy enough here. I could work on a postcard to celebrate my blog's big date, we'll see, I have other drawings to do, and I also don't have enough breath to draw or write or do things nearly as often as I'd like. 

Anyway, I try to mention what I'd talk on my next post, but my mood swings to other directions too, and I do write in one sitting on a whim. Not really a professional writer. I want to write a book someday, but we'll see. In any case, I should wrap up today's publication, it is getting quite long! You are such a most kind friend for still being here after this long post! Thank you! I am most grateful! I hope I can write some more before the big 8 of June, we'll see, until then, happy new week, happy weekend, merry Midmas, see you again real soon, so no worries!
