my new poster for the 30th Anniversary of Myst, available over at the Cyan store (link in the source and the comments)! This imagery has been indelibly inscribed on the inside of my eyelids since I was a kid, so it was an absolute joy bringing it to life in a more official capacity. 📚

replaying the myst series and i forgot the first game starts with atrus basically telling you his sons fucking suck
"yeah one of them burned down my library but idk which and i dont really care. shit tier loser ass sons. fucking. just. go into the books and tell me which one did it so i can be done with it"
#atrus: im gonna leave them all alone in channelwood for a few months its fine#atrus: hmmm the boys seem a little too ok with that i have a bad feeling about it its fine.#forgot how much of these games are just fucked family drama with lil brainteasers#srsly though ive played so many horror rpgs surrounding fucked families with puzzles#but myst gets it right#horror rpgs have puzzles but they just seem shoehorned in#but these fuckers in myst are just pretentious enough#that i wholeheartedly believe they'd build an elaborate machine to act as a lock#for one of their diaries

Rahaga Nokama of Ga-Wahi.
Outside of protecting the Matoran under her care from aquatic Rahi, her primary duty is the recovery and translation of records from the sunken Water Sector Universities.
She is often seen in the waters beside the walkways of Ga-Koro with a small entourage of assorted Matoran doing their best to both take notes on her lectures and begin restoration of the materials she brings to the surface. She has invited me to participate a few times, but as Historian, I think I'm better suited to simply write about what records have been found.
It is a very rare sight to see her on land when she is not attending a meeting with the other Rahaga, as her legs degraded into fins after giving up her Toa Energy. But she can be incredibly stubborn about it, once having walked unassisted into Onu-koro to ensure the safe delivery of a relic to the restoration Archives.
One of Rahaga Onewa's projects is attempting to restore and expand the surviving Metru-era aqueducts to key points in the other Wahi to allow Nokama to travel more easily. (Though he keeps claiming that the other Wahi just need multiple supply lines as part of the reconstruction efforts)
She hypothesizes that the primary Rahi attributes that the Hordika Venom has infused her with come from Dermis Turtles and Proto Drakes

Now I'm thinking about Myst ages again... Lowkey wanna live in Channelwood, I love swamps and trees and hydraulics and treehouses
Myst ages in descending order of how much I would like to live in them:
Channelwood (who wouldn't want to live there?)
Tomahna (look it's literally just an Age they made into a luxury home and I could get used to having to push buttons and shit to move the bridge around)
Direbo (Seems really nice. I might find myself wanting more shelter though.)
Myst (Seems fine. A bit small.)
Serenia (I know I said I don't trust Utopias but there really aren't many habitable worlds here actually)
Narayan (this is an ecological crisis waiting to happen)
Amateria (I do not love roller coasters enough to have fun here)
Riven (I do not love roller coasters and also the world is literally being torn apart)
Laki'Ahn (the D'ni really fucked this place up)
Edanna (I'd probably get eaten by some sort of creature)
Haven (same problem as Edanna)
Todelmer (cool as shit but it's really not habitable long-term)
Stoneship (yeah there's just rocks but it's pretty nice there, they made it comfy at least)
Mechanical (as with Stoneship, not very habitable but at least there's a comfortable house.)
Voltaic and Selenitic ages and Spire all tie here. They're just not livable.

I just watched Gab Smolders play Myst and gamers these days are spoiled by free movement. Back in my day Myst was point and click and you could get lost in the Channelwood Age because everything looked the same and it was the most annoying thing in video games ever.

I'm watching my partner play Myst and the Channelwood Age is so much like what I imagine pre-Dominion Vorta communities looked like. Kind of hurts my heart honestly.

anonymous:
I took the following photograph of a log bridge on a trail in Middle Creek Wildlife Park in Pennsylvania. It reminded me a bit of Channelwood. Great blog, by the way! Thanks so much.
