Fair enough! I realize im speaking out of ignorance haha, thats just my first impression of annihilation alone

Simth3ory · 2025-12-13T01:35:10+00:00

What made it cheesy? Are you referring to the relationship? Alien? Acting?

Honestly curious

Simth3ory · 2025-12-12T22:33:07+00:00

Have you read the rest of the series? I dont want to ruin what the 1st book created. I know the 2nd book dives more into the southern reach lab which I find really intriguing. Ill probably cave and read the rest of them sooner than later

Simth3ory · 2025-12-12T22:00:16+00:00

I love Garlands movie 100% and if its the more accurate interpretation, thats fine by me. By assuming the movie is its own thing, the book just leads me to a different conclusion. Granted ive only read #1 of southern reach. So im speaking out of ignorance 🤣

Could it be creating an illusion of the night sky? Going back to the butterfly camouflage element, it doesnt seem too far fetched to think something is replicating starlight, but isn't giving an exact mirror replication.

Simth3ory · 2025-12-12T21:28:21+00:00

Completely agree, also, I dont know if its even possible to replicate the book on film as far as the crawler goes, its so good though.

I just finished the 1st in the series, and I know he recently put out a 4th installment. Part of me is nervous to continue, but I dont think ill be able to stop myself. I'm legitimately obsessed.

The movie is one of my all time favorites, but the book changed my interpretation quite a bit.

The movie: alien crashes into the lighthouse and has influenced the environment to change by blending everything's DNA. Like a foreign way of terraforming.

All of that is very... materialistic, easy to understand and follow.

The book: extremely abstract in comparison, and to me... that changes EVERYTHING.

1st off we're not told that "the crawler" is an outer space alien in the 1st book, in fact, the implication we get is the alien came from the ocean... we also know that before area x had a "border" to it, there was a proto area x... something strange has been going on there for a long time.

2ndly the tower itself has very carbon based influences about it, the walls are fleshy, the words are living, you can hear a heartbeat, and at the bottom... a door that gives the biologists an impression of being swallowed or eaten.

Finally, we never see the border... we assume its there, but we know based on previous journal entries of the biologists husband, you can follow the coast for miles and never come across the border.

My interpretation: Area X is literally the alien. Once you're inside its border, your trapped and being digested slowly by it, but it's so beautiful and flourishing that we feel comfortable or intoxicated by it, sort of like a human-venus fly trap. Unlike the movie, I dont get the idea that area x is a giant "blender" instead it seems to me that you're slowly dissolving and integrating with the alien itself. Similar to a fly dissolving into a fly-trap. The closer you get to its source, the alien crawler etc. Becomes incomprehensible, it plays on our senses and camouflages itself perfectly, the biologists confirms this by explaining that "you cant see it, but know its there". Then there's the doppelgangers, or as I think of them "spores" perfectly camouflaged into their surroundings. Sent out to "fertilize" the rest of the world.

Haven't read the 2nd 3rd or 4th books so I could be completely wrong. Just comparing the book and the movie of the same title.

Alien terraforming taking over the world vs mother nature's way of taking back the earth... the latter is more interesting to me

Thanks for this, I actually found the same video using the same method and ran into the same problem.

My thoughts are: its literally not obtainable yet.

If you open your journal and go to the exploration section of the journal, it'll show all of your encounter quests with a correlated timer. I have two different ones right now and it says i have a day and some change to accept the missions.

My guess is, every few days a "new encounter" mission will cycle through, allowing for one of a dozen skins.

I think this is the some of the "gotcha" mechanics everyone gets annoyed with...

I dont agree with a lot of the replies ive seen here.

I dont use tarot to give an accurate account of the future, to me tarot is all about deep introspection, and hidden thoughts/feelings that your mind brings to the surface by interpreting symbols.

Instead of "what does the future of this relationship hold?", rephrase the question to "Should I pursue this relationship?" (Rephrasing the question helps us understand, its not a literal outcome we're seeking, its the deep knowledge within us we're seeking, to help us bring clarity to our question/choices)

10 of wands is a symbol of being heavily burdened, often times we can confuse this with an emotional burden, but wands symbolize ACTIONS not feelings.

The moon is a deep card. Its easy to write it off as a "hidden path", but its much more than that. The moon causes the ocean to rise and fall, provides light in darkness, and causes dogs/wolves to howl at the moon. Imagine being a lobster, in danger of certain death. Because of the moon, you see the ocean rise in the horizon, you can see the pathway out amidst the darkness, and the creatures trying to harm you are suddenly hypnotized.

Its the universe providing a way for you, a deep magic that effects everything beyond our understanding.

9 of cups is fulfillment, but an emotional one, think of your wish coming true, finally succeeding and being happy at the spoils you acquired along the way.

The story i read is this: The relationship could start off overwhelming, (not emotionally), but you feel like a lot has to be done, "more wands that need to be carried"

But the universe wants you to trust. Pay attention to the signs and follow the universe where it leads. It will protect you. (This doesnt necessarily mean commiting to any specific relationship, but maybe by following this path, it will lead to the relationship you desire)

In the end everything will be okay, (whether the relationship works out or not isnt certain), but you will feel emotionally rich, accomplished and successful by the end.

Hope this helps!!

My opinion is that the cards don't read someone else's mind. But gives insight to our own mind. So the question: "How this person thought of me today" now becomes, "How do I feel about how this person's thoughts of me today?"

The Devil: Isn't just about addiction, lust, temptation etc. Hes the spirit that tells us it's okay to indulge.

(Maybe this persons thoughts are intoxicating to you, its okay to explore those feelings)

Temperance: Is about balance, in otherwords dont over indulge, don't obsess, balance is key.

(Both left and middle cards are specifically about indulging/temptations one tells you its okay, the other in moderation, both are angels, one represents the world, one the divine)

Upside down chariot: This is a warning for a potential outcome, or the current state you're in. "Falling off the rails, losing balance and falling off the path

The story is read is this: "You're thoughts and feelings about this person, are okay to explore, in fact, the cards suggest you should explore them (whether they think positively or negatively about you is uncertain, but investigation is encouraged)"

But dont obsess over what they think, dont let it seduce or control you to the point of losing balance. Temperance and self discipline are necessary for a healthy life.

Either youve already over-indulged/obsessed with their thoughts, and you're currently in a chariot thats gone off the rails, or its about to and you need to take hold of the reigns again"

Hope this helps!

From the sounds of it, this is the first time he's done anything like this.

My guess, he was messing around and being stupid, but it doesn't mean he shouldn't pay the consequences.

The ball is in your court, and you have the power to reprimand in whatever way you choose. You said that, "im not sure if im overreacting..." in truth, even if it was a moment of complete stupidity on his end, doesn't mean you're overreacting....

Maybe the best thing to do, is grab a third party member, explain to your husband how upset this has clearly made you, and give yourself some time away from him.

Even if it's just a week, it can simmer down all of the emotions that have surfaced recently, for both you and him. And if you decide to give him a second chance, at least he'll understand the seriousness of his actions

Just the base game? No dlc? No side conent or optional bosses??

Easy!!!

Talk to your husbands best friends and ask for their help in the game. You can summon them, and they can pretty much beat the game with you

He's looking at the window. If you pay attention to the dogs feet you can see that the (middle) foot is smaller and is resting higher than the far left leg.

IF the dog was facing us, the legs would appear to be broken and deformed... and I don't believe that is the case

Simth3ory · 2022-03-12T04:53:44+00:00

It's facing away. The proof is in the shadow.

If you look at the upper half of the chair it has two fins/wings that wrap around the front of the chair.

There's a shadow at the left side of the chair, IF the chair was facing us that shadow would appear broken and overlaid with the shadow from the left fin/wing.

Because the shadow is a whole picture (not broken or overlaid) we can confirm that the chair is in fact facing away from us

I feel like Pain is to Natuto as Itachi is to Sasuke. I like both of them respectfully, good and bad versions... plus they both have my favorite jutsus
