Unpacking references to “Arcadians”

Referring to themselves as “guardians”, [Arcadians] were often composed of societies which had the greatest bio-socio-psycho-emotional link to the lost Earth, and indeed a leading element of the guardian faction was made up of the final generations of survivors from the home planet. This set was determined to re-establish a new Earth on the nearest available Earth-like world, and might be seen as a ludicrous colonial throwback.

— “Posthumanity”, The Book of the War (2002), ed. Lawrence Miles

‘Where are you going?’ Steven asked.

‘The planet Refusis,’ replied the Commander. ‘The Earth is also dying and now we have left it for the last time. […] Only Refusis has the same conditions that we had on Earth. Atmosphere, water, the right temperate zones. […] We are the Guardians!’

— The Ark (1987), by Paul Erickson

Other groups were content to remake or even build worlds to be their new homes. Threatened by the rest of the [posthuman] hegemony, many of the Arcadian worlds eventually united to form a “benign union” (modelled on older world-systems which had displaced classical Greece and Rome as the acme of polite civilisation in the popular imagination). Faced with planetary atmospheres which bred goodwill and quiet contemplation by their very natures, the Arcadians’ enemies simply gave up. The Arcadian Union was isolationist and eventually the majority of its people simply vanished, either sublimating to a higher state of existence or dying of boredom.

— “Posthumanity” (continued), The Book of the War

Finally, on Traken, Nyssa’s home planet, the Master had captured the Source, the font of power for an entire galactic Union encompassing a million star systems. […] Chris recounted the sketchy details that he could remember: Serenity was the only surviving colony of the Union of Traken, a verdant garden world with advanced biotechnology, whose people lived in peace and relative isolation. They believed that at the time of the cosmic disaster that obliterated the entire rest of their galaxy, something called the Source had protected them, at the cost of its own existence. […] ‘We Adjudicators learn about Serenity as an example of a peaceful and just society.’

— Cold Fusion (1996), Lance Parkin

“Waiter! There’s even more Parkin lore in my book!” Or is there? (Emphasis all mine, of course.) From Big Finish’s Lost Stories adaptation of Johnny Byrne’s 1983 television pitch, which he’d shared with Sarah Groenewegen, a close friend of Kate Orman:

Sixth Doctor: Ahh, the planet Serenity of the Benign Union! […] This part of the galaxy, well, holds bad memories for me.

Peri: Do you want to talk about it?

Doctor: Well, you see that patch of darkness there at the edge of the screen? Now that used to be Mettula Orionsis, home of the Traken Union, one of the most harmonious places in the cosmos. […] That was centuries ago. At this point in history, a new union has risen in its place with, at its heart, the world of Serenity. The only planet of the Traken Union to survive.

— The Guardians of Prophecy (2012), Jonathan Morris

One of the funniest things to think about is Angela trying to teach Trevor what modern technologies there are and how to use them, post Arcadia. He’s literally a man out of time, plucked right out of the 70s only with funny robots.

She hands him her mobile phone and is like “We’re gonna need to get you one of these at some point.”

Trevor is like “A thin black slab?”

Angela reaches over to turn it on and goes “No actually, its a tiny portable computer!”

I can only imagine the look of amazement on his face. Mf is like “WHAT??”

I was compelled last night and I’m quite honestly scared of whatever 11:59 PM me intended for those middle sections. At least I still know my colors when sleep deprived, and I’m sure someone else on here can fill the blank spots out better than I can on a full eight hours of shut-eye.

#oh god on high what do i tag this with #the crane wives #the paper kites #cosmo sheldrake #fish in a birdcage #the arcadian wild #the oh hellos #dirt poor robins #the amazing devil #venn diagram #me running my mouth #im pretty sure you could put all the text boxes in this file in a jar shake it to hell and back and pour it over the diagram #and itd still make some degree of sense #says a lot about my music taste eh mates?#anyone who sees this and relates to any degree please o please say so #i have essays worth of analysis i can spit out about most of these musicians #not on command though i need to get kinda existential first #theres three paragraphs about the eurus ep hanging out in my drafts and i think my motivation for that is somewhere behind the couch #with the spiders and my childhood nail clippings

good day my fellow crane wives/amazing devil/oh hellos/arcadian wild listeners are you looking for new music that scratches that same fantasy-esque folk itch in your brain and makes you go feral every time you listen to it?

may i introduce you to:

good morning bedlam!

they are a small band from minneapolis and their music is FANTASTIC. some of their songs are more fantasy/running through the forest kind of vibe and some are more bluegrassy and fun to dance to but overall 100000/10 i am highly enjoying their music and need to share. if you need recommendations here's what i have:

#did i just find them two days ago? yes i did #are they still taking up so much brain space? yes they are #good morning bedlam #the crane wives #the amazing devil #the oh hellos #the arcadian wild #i literally have not stopped listening to them #they're kind of like a bluegrass version of the crane wives and i am HERE FOR IT #Spotify

Everyone only associates Kyo or Aster in ships with Ren. The only "acception" is Kyo/Ren/Aster.

I just wanna see same fluffy Kyoster (Kyo/Aster). I'm just not a huge fan of Ren.

If I had a nickel for every time a folk band I adored released an album meant to be listened to in order, which tells the story of the fall of man/ a prodigal son character (one of them is both), started with man being close to God then followed his journey of rejecting him, realizing his life was empty without him, and eventually returning back to God, had consistent themes and motifs woven through it, and ended with a reprise of the first song to represent the restoration of fellowship,

I'd only have two nickels

but it is weird that it happened twice

#like technically principium is only about Adam and Eve #and Through the Deep Dark Valley is mostly about a prodigal son figure and only kind of about Adam and Eve #BUTTTT #the point still stands #and based off of 'Like the Dawn' it is atleast partially about Adam and Eve #probably way too niche of a post but whatever #the similarities are fascinating #also STRONG recommend for both of these albums they are incredible #the oh hellos #through the deep dark valley #The Oh Hellos band #the arcadian wild #Principium #Principium The Arcadian Wild #song #song post #christian #the fall of man
