ICA SF Curator Christine Koppes is in the house! I’m finishing-up a commission for Sunnyvale’s new City Hall development, and was thrilled to visit with @christinekoppes and have her eyes on my 9’ x 11’ tapestry. She brought along her adorable son Brooks who is a big fan of textiles, especially the neon yarns. 🧶 We talked about art and life and the art of juggling motherhood and a demanding career. I vividly remember those days— rich and rewarding and also stressful. Sending zen vibes to all the moms out there🥰 I’m thrilled that we have the @icasanfrancisco in the Bay, and looking forward to the current show Resting Our Eyes curated by @tfresh and @autumnbreon. I’m super excited about Christine’s upcoming summer programming—including exhibitions by LA artists @patrick_martinez_studio and @hayvkahraman and local painter @rupyctut . Good stuff!👍🙏🙌 Images: Christine, Brooks and the tapestry. Tapestry details.

also there is flora and fauna that magically grows or modifies with certain theme park magic or elements.

for example there is the 'Memory Tulips' or just 'Memory Blooms'.

As the name indicates, these are a type of tulip only found near or in theme parks in some nook or cranny

A blank Memory Tulip is of a cream-white color but when it detects and consumes a small particle of a specific magic or element near, a pattern will form in its petals and sometimes even a part of the plant will also form a pattern. Take note that Memory Tulips in groups will uniquely detect something each, in rare cases they all detect the same element.

The patterns vary to the point there is still ongoing discoveries about new patterns.

The most common patterns are:

Wavy Blue - Airtime

Squiggly Red - Thrill

Sunset Pink - Love/Friendship

Fairy-Dust Glow Yellow - Wonder (UNIQUELY FOUND ON DISNEY PARKS)

Mossy Green - Adventure/Curiosity

Spiky Neon (Color Varies) - Fear

Starry Soft Glow (Color Varies) - Magic

WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE THE FUCK UP WAKE UP

Monsters shown off in the Skull Island teaser. I'm sort of surprised how many of them are new creations (as well as the apparent ditching of the florafauna angle).

Titan History: Amhuluk

Welcome once again to Monarch: After Dark, the digital gateway between you and the organisation dedicated to understanding and navigating this troubled new world we live in.

Before we begin with today's communication, we here on the After Dark team would like to take a second to thank all those who have chosen to engage with this blog so far. This blog was started to ensure better relations between Monarch and the public by being fully transparent and unbiased in the information released, and we appreciate everyone who chooses to engage, regardless of how brief.

Now, returning to business, we would like to present all we know on one of the oddest Titans currently in our bestiary; the florafauna colossus, Amhuluk.

(Pictured above: A sketch of Amhuluk, courtesy of Monarch cryptobiologist Drew E. Johnson, circa. 2021)

Monarch Database File: Amhuluk

Monarch Designation: Titanus Amhuluk

Height: 379 feet

Weight: Unknown

Nature: Bio-Pathogenic

Behavioural Classification: Destroyer

-----

Currently the largest known instance of "florafauna" (animals that take on biological traits similar to plants), Amhuluk is an oddity that truly has to be seen to be believed. Its true form is a disembodied head and spine, the rest of its body a collected assembly of natural resources and plant material contorted and morphed to suit the Titan's needs, through the use of bio-telepathic neurotransmitters in its head. This ability grants Amhuluk incredible camouflage, and even the ability to fly (depending on the structure it chooses to form as its body).

Amhuluk's incredible capabilities don't stop there. The Titan possesses the ability to emit toxins capable of destroying entire rivers and oceanic channels, mustering its telepathic abilities as psychic beams fired from its tendrils into the brains of its enemies, and possesses immense strength, able to "throw" parts of its body at opponents by means of telekinesis.

Perhaps fortunately for humanity, Amhuluk is not invincible. Due to the plant-based composition of its body constructs, Amhuluk is susceptible to flame-based attacks. Its regenerative powers rely heavily on Amhuluk being around further plant material that it can use, and if its head is damaged sufficiently, it could destroy the body it has created. Monarch's Rick Stanton also discovered Amhuluk's vulnerability to sonic frequencies, personally recommending the use of Van Halen's "You Really Got Me" when engaging Amhuluk.

(Pictured above: Artistic depiction of Amhuluk engaging Titanus Behemoth, prior to Godzilla's intervention, circa. 2020)

Little is known about Amhuluk's history prior to his awakening during the Monster Zero crisis, other than that he was known through ancient myth as a bringer of pestilence, disease and death. He was contained within Monarch Outpost 66, at the Manpupuner Rock Formations in Russia. Like most Titans, Amhuluk failed to reach Boston in time to witness Monster Zero's demise and Godzilla's claim to Alpha status.

Roughly around the end of 2020, Amhuluk travelled to the Amazon Rainforest, where he battled against fellow Titan Behemoth, the latest in an apparent history of grudge matches between the two. Amhuluk succeeded in breaking one of Behemoth's tusks, emerging victorious over the Titan and preparing to drown him in the river. Godzilla arrived shortly after, forcing Amhuluk away from Behemoth. The Titan recognised Godzilla's authority and backed off without further conflict.

Shortly afterward, Amhuluk returned to dormancy, seemingly under Godzilla's instruction. There have been no further incidents involving Amhuluk, though in the years since he awakened, merchandise such as statues were created of him, and other Titans such as Godzilla.

-----

And there we have it! We apologise for this communication being shorter than our other "Titan History" installments, though with our intel on Amhuluk being somewhat limited for now, we can only provide what we have. Should Amhuluk appear to stir trouble once again, Monarch will be there, and we will tell you all we can about it.

Until next time,

Monarch: After Dark

Should Ticks Exist?

[notes]

according to my research, ticks have no good reason for existing.

the saying “everything in nature provides balance” isn’t necessarily true and there are certain species that just cause nothing but issue. ticks being one that i feel has basically no benefits.

“there are animals that eat them” not as a main food source. it’s always just something they happen to stumble upon and eat. every creature on land can also be affected by ticks, since they stop at nothing to fill themselves with blood. if ticks stopped existing, no other animal would suffer, however their existence is harmful.

“why do you want them dead so bad? isn’t that a little sadistic to kill off an entire species?” ticks do not feel emotions. they live to eat blood.

and i do NOT think mosquitoes should all be killed!! MOST species of mosquitoes, especially pollinators, have good reason to, however i feel it would be helpful to conduct research into lowering the population of deadly mosquitoes just a bit (and maybe even use them to find cures to the diseases they spread)

the dimension of ride spirits is unlike any other dimension, filled with different colorful biomes.

ranging from ponds and waterfalls with rusty coaster structures in their surroundings to forests filled with park flora and fauna to fields filled with flowers that spread memory pollen...

there is so much to see! however, no human has stepped into this dimension and the only way they have seen this dimension is through photos, illustrations and testimonies from different ride spirits.
