Kiyyunkaiwan - Ideas Are In My Head, Need To Write Them Out

Residents of Proserpina Park is a fun and entertaining edutainment audio drama that teaches listeners about creatures from World Mythology and Folklore. This is my review.

Do you love mythology and folklore? Do you enjoy learning about mythical creatures in a fun and entertaining way? Do you like audio fiction? Well, then allow me to introduce you to @proserpinapark

Residents of Proserpina Park begins with a frame story. It begins with our unarmed narrator listening to some recordings that her brother gave her. They're made by a young woman named Alina, who is investigating rumors of a mysterious secret park, known as Proserpina Park. It's part of an assignment for journalism class. Alina found more than she bargained for. Turns out, Proserpina Park is a sanctuary for all the mythical creatures from across World Mythology and Folklore. Fortunately, she's not exploring the park alone. Alina meets a guy named Sam, who is something of a park resident himself. Each episode sees Alina learn more about the various creatures who call Proserpina Park their home.

I'd argue that, in many ways, Residents of Proserpina Park is an edutainment show. It sets out to tach listeners about different mythological creatures in a fun and entertaining way. Most episodes follow roughly same format; Alina will arrive at the park, meet Sam, and then Sam will tell her about a new creature, and explain the creature's origins and mythological significance. Usually, the recordings end right before Alina and Sam go to actually see the creature in question. Though, later episodes do shake up the format a bit. Alina starts exploring the park on her own, and bringing friends along, something Sam tells her she must never do. Some creatures, particularly the ones with human-level intelligence, do also make on-screen, for lack of a better way of putting it, appearances.

You get familiar creatures such as kappa or the Jersey Devil. However, you also get lesser known and more off the beating path creatures. For example, there’s the Aralez from Armenian Mythology. They're large dogs with feathery wings, and can heal people simply by licking them. There’s also the Bulgae. They're dogs from Korean Mythology who chase the sun and moon across the sky. When one of them bites the sun, it causes an eclipse.

Season 1 was absolutely fantastic. Episodes are typically about eleven or twelve minutes, so season one is easily bingeable. And I would strongly advise you to do so as quickly as possible if you haven't already.

Have to listened to Residents of Proserpina Park? If so, what did you think?

Out of Touch

On Twitter as of recent, Vtubers (the smaller ones) seem to be in a panic as certain people follow them. I first saw it with Merryweather (It probably started there) with a gimmick account called “I Only Follow Bottoms” and then it started to go wild with the account following more Vtubers, than more people made more gimmicks like following Tops, Switch’s, and Furries (the ones I saw) and following Vtubers, sending them into a kind of panic. It’s hilarious that they think this accounts like catching an infectious disease, and I’m all in for more chaos.

Reblog to make the British pay for everything they did

While lurking in the Twitter wasteland, I came across a few Japanese posts which talked about this guy.

A demon from the Dictionnaire Infernal called Yan-gant-y-tan and apparently he became something of a meme with either the pose or the demon being drawn.

If you want to see things, try using either of his Japanese translations

ヤンガンティタン

Or

ヤン=ガン=イ=タン

The Japanese don’t know how this trend started and honestly, most things don’t make sense nowadays but going with the flow seem to be the best way to live nowadays.

Rompopolo's entire existence gives me anxiety. What if god gave you the body of a balloon animal with swords for arms? You love drinking crude oil but half of the year your entire ecosystem is on fire. Your natural enemy is the humble exploding gorilla.

oh shit we got december tomorrow…

what if Alhaitham's boob gem is something he had glued to himself in his childhood out of scientific curiosity and hasn't been able to get it off ever since like flint lockwood
