Red Cities: Downtime (Catholic-U)

A Story by Abishai100

As civilization progressed, did our vision(s) of species singularity 'mutate' into some 'thing'...delicious?

A dystopia-medallion diorama inspired loosely by Slacker hinting at 'invisible' forms of civilization vertigo. Enjoy,

I've been working on a species-mosaic for the casting of what makes modern Earth social-media reflective of personality indexing and psyche-consciousness.

You might find fantastic imagery in modern-media regarding the casting of consumerism mannequins and doll-figurines (or 'avatars') representing traffic-IQ and street-imaginations storytelling. This is a 'face' aesthetic, right?

The great heroines and goddesses of the ancient world would pale in comparison to the ornamented 'avatars' of the new era who simply may characterized an unlimited scale of values and ideations, and they might be placed in non-mechanical empires of purely organic or even monarchic estates. This is variety, and it speaks to the plethora of capitalism's offerings in the 21st Century! It's a magazine-intensive experiment (really!).

The modern world is full of great tribulations like world wars and 9/11 and the Coronavirus tribulation of 2020. This is also a time of space and mind-sharing through Internet-portals which makes consumerism/commerce feel like a storytelling experience, if only for the sake of youth who wish to cast the ideas about consciousness as a symbol of nightmare-evasion.

What if we didn't survive a horrid Red-Alien ('Xenomorph') invasion involving acidic poison and bloody murder? Would we still celebrate the Ivy League's website(s) and Wall Street artworks capturing a traffic-sanity regarding the hopes of humans wrestling with ambition in a time of great convenience-life (e.g., IKEA, FaceTime, Salk, Home Shopping Network). Would this Invasion create ideas about monsters mocking our lounge-sense of piracy?

Of course, I don't consider the citations of toys and consumerism diadems as merely a veiled form of Western piracy or something sardonic as that! I consider these toys and imagery and 'avatars' I use as signposts for 'preference' based traffic decision-making (shopping!). If we can't shop...we can't relax (or dream?).

Imagine this very-same Invasion-conscious Red-Alien of violence/anarchy manifests himself in one non-invisible form as a Halloweentime warlock like 'Red Goblin' who wield pumpkin-bombs through the streets/villages of Earth (Marvel Comics). Would this alien-goblin unnerve our Internet-sensibility about accessible candy?

Maybe the modern convenience 'matrix' makes spiritual meditation and peace 'temporary' and governance therefore quite vulnerable, as we saw in the post-9/11 era negotiations of globalism-rhetoric controversy in the living land(s) such as the Crimea/Ukraine tribulation of 2022. Where's the 'real' depression?
