"Look mom, the starships pass by here again". "Oh, don`t be silly honey, it`s just spacedust drifting aimlessly in the vast void. The starships never pass by here anymore".
But a part of me knew that there was starships out there. Or at least pretended to know, I wanted to be a voyager so bad when I was young. Despite the fact that the cosmos were mainly considered lost cause at this point, I always held onto the hope that somewhere out there was my calling: an unexplored planet, a solar system thriving with vast ecosystems, or maybe even entire societies of people. But I’m stuck on this planet, farming with mom, dad died of stardust disease, sister left after she got married and who knows where her and her boyfriend are now. I hope she’s still alive. Sometimes my favorite thing to go do walk up the path of Venus mountain and watch the horizon, remembering what dad always said to me when mom wasn’t around to hear it. “If you look closely at the horizon line, despite what they all tell you, it’s not all space junk and asteroids. *If you look closely you can see the starships in the distance,* as long as you look with your heart, and not just with your eyes.”
The couch looks comfortable, but there's no adventure on this couch, go, go out on an adventure and come back and let the couch feel the adventure you went on.
when I was young and my brother and I were not enemies or estranged as we are now, we both had great imaginations. we invented worlds, we read the "Terran Trade Authority " art books that had stories. WE drew and designed our own heroes using a machine. We watched the great series of UFO (British) and watched the old series Battlestar Galactica. I even tried to be a dungeon master of Champions (Hero Games )and further designed a martian world system with named planets. But some how, all that imagination became dead about 20 years ago and I gave up. NOw, i play video games and let them help me dream. I have seen most science fiction movies and series. For a while I followed the MCU until it trashed itself. I no longer have friends to play D and D, but a lot of my time is spent online. I do a lot of hiking and outdoors walking though. BUT I MISS ART like this. I hunger and appreciate the imagination of videos like this. I am COMING BACK home to my imagination and even started re collecting old science fiction paperbacks and old comic books. the Skyrim and Fallout Bethesda series really helped out.
If you're interested in books, I recommend checking out Ian M Banks' works. I got started with his stuff by reading The Algebraist and it really reignited my love for exciting and thought-provoking sci-fi.
When I was a kid, I dreamed about cosmos. I read books, there was no tv or internet in my childhood. And now, I have opportunities to make my dreams come true, but... I don't want it now. Sometimes I see pieces like this and sadness comes to me...
Maybe cuz we're drawn to the fantasy of the cosmos and now we realize lots of maths and physics are involved so it's no more a fantasy. Everything is defined by logic and calculations (which I personally don't want to do). Beauty has been reduced to numbers and magic to maths
@@saileshsingh9374my friend I encourage you to still see the magic. Math has a significant role to play (and can actually be quite beautiful when you really look) but there are other ways to be involved in building our future 🤝💪
with you brother. I waited too long to follow my intial dreams, didn't have the money or income. Now I am trying again. But this time i have a career and good money. Problem is , I am old, man. I am 61. I am the youngest of three and the other long lost relatives don't even know about what I have learned and what i have become. BUT THIS GENRE, this group of people LIKE YOU, Orange, are my NEW family. YOu understand yourself and I understand you. WE live in a new world. Video games, comic books and with the internet streaming, we can rewatch old sci fi movies and shows. Do not give up. I didn't. A while ago, some years, when I was homeless, I never gave up. Yeah, I live almost alone, but still I am happy. Its been a long road to stability, but it was worth it.
@@saileshsingh9374 It's about perspective. The logic and calculations are one way to understand it all, but it's not the only definitive way. It's part of the puzzle you know? Math in itself is magic. To give these insane forces and powers of the universe a language we can understand is truly something.
My mother always told me that dad left because he was a very special man, that he had to go do a very special important mission. And as a kid of course I believed her, who wouldn't trust their mom right? But as I grew up, I learned more about the world, the one I lived on, Gehain, I learned we were considered backwards, and being in the frontier meant we were less important. I remember seeing the Holo-Ads for the Starliner cruises, taking folks from every part of the Galaxy to the mid rim, even the core worlds, hell, even the more expensive ones get to go to Earth. Earth, I fucking hated that planet, because I loved it so much. Earth, to me, was paradise, it was everything I wanted. Earth didn't have the McDoll boys from the junior academy, it didn't have the back breaking work I did day in day out, it didn't have this bleak landscape, this worthless rock I grew up on. I remember as I got older, I would get jobs in the bigger city on Gehain, High Dock. Up on the rock's far, far away from High Dock, you could see, just in the distant sky, if you looked closely, the starships passing by. You could even see Gehain Station. You could get a glimpse into paradise.
I see them too! They must've seen the flare or picked up the distress beacon or god know's what! I don't care - I'm just glad to see them. I'm going to make it home.
I saw someone suggested midjourney AI in one of the comments from the other videos. In any case, the artwork gives me vibes from 70s sci-fi book covers. I love it.
@@mashek331 Damn, Its AI? Should have expected it i suppose, its kinda scary just how good its gotten in the span of a few years. Usually these AI generated images have a few quirks to tell them apart, but these have been pretty much flawless.
@@ichigokurosaki647 sad thing is I kind of knew almost immediately. You can see it by comparing just how identical the actual artwork is, look at their videos gallery and just compare them. All of them have a moon, almost all of them have the same "aesthetic", almost all of them have the silhouette of someone standing there, staring out onto the horizon... They're pretty, and they set the vibe well. It's just sad to know that yes, it's AI -- and it's unfortunately easy to tell if you've developed the eye for it.
Huffy would stand like that for hours. Just staring at the iron giants in the sky, seemingly mezmerized by their slow arc across the horizon. 'It's been 14 years, Huffy. They aren't bringing her back.' His parents told him over and over to let his sister go. His father worked himself night and day to escape thinking about it. His mother became a ghost- quiet, reserved, timid. Staring out across the deep blue sky, Huffy's eyes followed the giant ships into a golden sunset across the old lands. When the last ships disappeared over the horizon, Huffy's gaze broke, and he scanned the cracked rock and clay landscape that sprawled in every direction as far as he could see. The ships took his sister 14 years ago, and every time they'd enter orbit Huffy would wait to see if one was landing like the last time all those years ago. He had to find a way onto one of the giant iron birds. He wouldn't distract himself like his father or bury himself behind his eyes like his mother. Huffy was going to get his sister back. He just needed a plan. A way on a ship.
Slumped over, I sat gazing listlessly at my hands, which were rough from toiling in the evaporator farms all day. Nothing to breath but hot air and dust on this planet, and not a body of water in sight. I look up to see the surface-transporters kicking up dust as they haul the harvested water to a nearby trading hub where it will eventually be carted off to neighboring settlements and nearby moons. In the evenings, I like to sit outside my desert hut stoop to watch the starships wafting over the distant horizon as they gradually vanish into the atmosphere. Another close to a mediocre day. I understand my work is critically important, that the water I harvest supplies life to people in need. But I can't help but feel some sense of dread unless I change course urgently and rapidly. I need to leave this planet, but the starships are just too far away.
So why is the man dressed in full combat gear and armed to the teeth? Who is he fighting/defending against? Peace, tranquility overshadowed by man's innate violence in one panorama.
Lore based answer? Likely a traveler, in need of means to defend himself. Realistic answer? It's AI generated, and there wasn't a lot of thought put into it more than likely, unfortunately.

@@TheTroupeMasterGrimm Very good writing. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it. I made me thing about life and dreams unreached.
I see what you did there

No wonder my couch is bored.
Damn, there really are starships in the distance

Born to late to explore the Earth. Born to early to explore the Universe. Yet, I'm still born into an interesting time.
Mostly the time where humans will destroy themselves but yes interesting of course 😢
But never too late to explore youself
But never too early or late to explore yourself
We must build this future, friend!

Is the image from something like a SciFi book cover or just random internet?
Where does this artwork come from?
Jamaica
It’s most likely ai generated
Midjourney
Where do you get this art? Or is it AI generated?
So why is the man dressed in full combat gear and armed to the teeth? Who is he fighting/defending against?
