...and the migrating birds are a species that were born on the giant-space-chicken-egg and their migration habits take them from world to world, thereby connecting all of the worlds of this youtube channel and beginning the Worldbuilding Notes Cinematic Universe
Cosmic eggs seem to be a recurring theme. Maybe the goddess of the world spindle hatched from an egg. This could mean that all of the worlds could exist on one timeline on a geological time scale, where goddesses are born and die over time. Conical brittain would obviously be the earliest in the timeline, followed by the spaceships (explaining the presence of humans in all the worlds).
I love these tiny worlds you create, Ewa. They're like the kind of world I'd like to live on: small, misterious, magical and cozy (specially because you never speak about grim themes like crime and war, for instance). I am so grateful for this content you produce. I wish you could publish a new video every day.
I think adding the fact that the moon is what is keeping the fog at bay from the mountain would explain why the fog doesn’t just overtake the mountain due to entropy. The idea of this cosmic cocoon stabilizing a part of the universe where a planet is and a people developing inside it is such a cool concept and since it fits the world building so I thought I’d share it.
The way that this world is a radial gradient of existence is kind of similar to the electron probability clouds that surround the nuclei of atoms. Perhaps you can use this concept in your next video about this setting.
So.... One though came to my mind when you mentioned how birds act MESSENGER PIGEONS TO *ANOTHER DIMMENSION!* maybe could be the epilogue/prologue of the story, the character receiving a mysterious letter from the other side, or sharing letters with the friends they made along the way
Dang I don't know how you pack so many uncanny dreamlike ideas into such a condensed video! Japan has a lot of Animes/Games were the Moon turns out to be a Cocoon/Egg, I wonder if that is from an old tale or poem or parable. The most interesting touch I wouldn't have come up with is the final bit at the end where birds don't dissolve when they fly past the universes integrity draw distance. It makes sense with the Sun like its some sort of Supernal Truth or something. This reminds me a lot of the game Exalted where the World is a Plane and the Sun goes into Chaos every night and returns every day. It is hinted the Universe may have been like a Galactic Spiral before a great war and it became a plane, so its like the opposite of this. Brilliant channel!
The thing with the moon in Japanese pop culture is probably because of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter which is a extremely famous and influential Japanese folktale. It's an absolutely fascinating story, not just because it is one of the oldest surviving _monogatari_ (a traditional Japanese genre of fictional prose), dating back at least to the 10th century, but because it is kind of among the first science fiction stories ever. The basic gist of it is that an alien princess from a kingdom on the moon is sent to Earth and found and raised by a bamboo harvester. She grows up to be the most beautiful woman in the world and five suitors come to vie for her hand in marriage, but Kaguya rejects them all by giving them impossible tasks to complete. Then the Emperor also proposes to her and is also rejected, but the two stay friends. At some point Kaguya is told that she must return to the moon and has only limited time left with her family and friends on Earth and you get the gist of it. There is also a thing with an elixir of immortality and how Mt. Fuji got its name. This is one of the first instances of extraterrestrial life existing on a different celestial body from Earth in fiction.
@@PhileasLiebmann kinda vaguely reminds me of that Roman book that had the protagonist explore other planets edit: ah found it, Ἀληθῆ διηγήματα, Alēthē diēgēmata, Vera Historia, "A True Story" It was written in the 2nd century by Lucian of Samosata, from Syria, as essentially a spoof of the then's equivalent of travel blogs.

I like the idea of birds migrating to other worlds. It makes them kind of just as enigmatic as migratory birds were views in medieval times. (A lot of birds are still elusive.) And cool you're inspired again by a song from Yoko Kanno^^
oooh, love the merging of the Halloween video into this world, and the subtle relationship to the egg/river basin by possibly having this world form into a new one with the butterfly. All of your stuff is fantastic and super inspirational, love it!
1:46 That half-born baby sticking out of the mother just made me laugh, lol. I also love how the person with the Big Skull Hat and spear is looking *slightly* concerned about all of that.
The fog of primal chaos is very similar to the Myst in my own setting! The mysts create new lands out of the chaos so that the world grows continuously. Thanks for the video!
The names of souls video was one of my favorite of your's Ewa so I love these videos revisiting it. This video in particular is one of the most beautiful ones you've ever made! Also Turn A Gundam is one of my favorite anime, I think you would really enjoy it if you haven't seen it before!
Migratory birds can cross the boundary between words!? Are you setting the groundwork for a Worldbuilding Notes Cinematic Universe? Jokes aside I'd love to see at least some of your worlds connected by some multiversal continuum, like my chain of worlds.
Ooooh, this gets me thinking. So, the thirsty ghosts clearly would benefit from existing in this world and souls can be captured in the statues. What if these thirsty ghosts were to try to be captured or try to avoid being captured. What if a captured ghost were to be reborn into a family and until they are eventually born into their original body, creating a cycle in time of the same person making the same mistake but slowly figuring it out whenever they wander into the fog as themselves again. Or leave notes for themselves to read so to warn of an impending doom.
Always loved your videos, and this one is no exception! Really interesting world, with the height and with of the volcano, I could imagine all sorts of subterranean societies forming within it potentially, mainly with how much room there would be for stuff like that. Not sure if it would work, but just a thought.
Is this world a stable time loop, where the first souls of their name come from people going back to the past? Or could you theoretically have 2 souls of the same name be born at once as a result of time-travel shenanigans?
4:45 oh you know, a completely mundane universe where there is not one land but billions and they all curve around themselves and everything spins... Also time curves but not quite as much as it used to.
... one thing that might be of interest is whether a vulcano can experience a significant change in lava viscosity over its time of activity - if it were possible that in the beginning, the lava coming out was very viscous and thus formed a steep cone, but later the lava that surfaced later turned less viscous for some reason and thus in the later portion of its activity, the lava formed a sort of flat brim around the cone, with lava tubes and all... or vice versa, where it started out as a flat shield vulcano and the viscosity increased and a steep cone formed essentially on top it it
feathers could protect you from the desloving effect of the worlds edge explaining why the bird can travel world to world. if you made a suit of feathers you got yourself a ancient astronaut suit and can live out on the edge of reality or cross worlds following the birds.
Isn't the Mauna Loa much higher than 5km if you count the height from the ocean floor ? It's 10km high. However it is much less wide than Venusian volcanoes. Only roughly 200km across.
If you merged with the fog, would your soul be out of the reincarnation cycle? Or maybe you’d turn into a bird that can pass between worlds, sort of an ascension towards enlightenment.
The atmosphere is an open system that’s contiguous with primordial chaos. I don’t think the volcano is capable of changing an atmosphere that touches literal eternity.

As though ice sludge and fog is /not/ actually just primaeval chaos.

Every single one of the videos on this channel brings me so much joy!
ive been watching turn a gundam lately and this video was honestly a surprise. love it ewa

Another video so soon? You’re spoiling us!
the moment i saw the screenshot from the turn a gundam ED i started slapping my table and howling like a mad ape
I love u so much you help me think 💓
I love your videos so much, Ive been watching them since you started and honestly they've been a huge inspiration for me!
Always loved your videos, and this one is no exception!

as always. The best ever.
Aaaaaaah why do these videos have to end?!
Watching your videos is always such an amazing experience
I need to start creating one off worlds or even just myths that people within my universe come up with.
i love this so much

I'm imagining someone who hunts birds and tried to make a cloak of their feathers to travel deeper into the primordial fog.

wouldn't the volcanoes produce a massive greenhouse effect as seen on Venus, if they were that big?
The atmosphere is an open system that’s contiguous with primordial chaos. I don’t think the volcano is capable of changing an atmosphere that touches literal eternity.
Why is one of the people just casually giving birth?
no I think cone volcanos have non viscous lava, and shield volcanos have more viscous lava. otherwise I loved the video!
