Why I love How Sky Portrays Death

Before I start, I go into detail about death and loss, and description of the afterlife and dying and examples of it in sky and a little mention of religion irl.

I wrote this while sleep deprived if this makes no sense, i'm not sorry

Take this all with a grain of salt as this is purely my observation and interpretation

To many, death is scary, unpredictable, and inevitable. Death is frightening because it represents the end of life, the loss and grief it brings, and the uncertainty of where we will go. Every religion has its own version of the afterlife, from our soul moving to a new body, places ranging from rewarding good and punishing evil, to simply being nothing. Death is scary because we'll never truly know what lies beyond or what awaits. It's complicated ,heavy, and it's something that many have delved deeper into too. I only bring this up because the sky not only answers, but embraces death. How? Let's take a look.

Orbit

Sky's interpretation of the afterlife is perfect. "All are given breath by starlight," as stated in the intro mural, everyone ends up back in the stars someday, becoming spirits that travel to this small part of the galaxy. They even seem to become one with the light and stars if they so please. And it's relaxing; it's soothing.

They know it exists.

Spirit's have shown from the beginning of the game that they can descend and ascend whenever they please. See all TS's, Grandma, and event spirits like Yeti, who appear briefly during Feast to cast a snowman spell before ascending. According to this logic, orbit is widely known because ancestors were bound to descend to explain what happens. And spirits aren't gone from their loved ones' lives; they're still present. They're not gone and can visit anytime they like; it's not hard for me to imagine them visiting others during holidays and events.

Gravestone's

In every social space, there are gravestones for every base-game ancestor. What's interesting is how they're laid out; unlike regular graveyards, which are organized in a line, none of the graves are uniform, some being lengths apart. This is very clear in Prarie, with one near the closet and another nestled in a cave; even irl graveyards that are less uniform don't tend to put burials that far away, but Sky does. It almost seems like an ancestor could've possibly chosen the placement themselves. You also have the special burial site at the 8-player door, a working elevator and all, the graves have their own little buildings and stones draped in gold, implying a ceremony as we know. Not only that, but Valley's way of honouring death is extremely interesting.

Let's talk about Samekh's temple

Valley really demonstrates how death is viewed—not in a morbid way but in an honourable way. The hallways of both races are lined with gravestones, with the exception of some open spaces. When compared to decorations such as the eight-player door, the gravestones themselves are painted in gold. They're unlike any graves seen so far, and you can argue that these were reserved for champions, and if so, I feel like the halls would be packed considering this is the valley of triumph, but no, there are still a few open spaces. Which makes me adore how there are gravestones in the twin's temple.

Their temple is the only one that not only has gravestones inside, but is lined with them! And considering their position and how we know they play a big role in the sky as leaders, to the point where they have a temple, it makes the fact they share it as an ancestor's final resting place so heartwarming to me. They were under no obligation to place gravestones; they could have dragged the banners down, added more statues, or even designed something similar to Daleth's temple like the murals we see, but they didn't. They allowed the room with their shrine to be a graveyard, they value their people's lives; they regard it as an honour, and whether those are the graves of champions or ordinary people, they value them all the same.

And it still hurts.

Even in the sky, where the question of death is answered, it still hurts.

It hurts when Mindful and a Tearful miner witness the deaths of their friends, Tearful having to bury their own. It hurts when Teabrewer returns with herbs for their loved one who died while they were away, so much so that they become anxious when they leave anyone alone, as seen in their info card. It's horrifying to know how many ancestors died in the war with no way to escape, faced with the fear of death every day.

Death is still scary in Sky, and I love it for that. Even when you know where you'll go, you still value your life; you don't want to die, and you don't want to go. But when that time comes, when you choose to be one with the universe, or roam your home with your star-kissed body, you'll never be alone. And that's why I adore the way death is depicted:

Because it's bittersweet.

I love Daleth but think their design is a little... bland. So I gave him a tiny redesign, just to add a little character to them. (Click for better quality)

Also obligatory wip designs lol

#this was fun #i might do other redesigns of other spirits that need more to them #not really any of the elders though because i think theur designs are good... except Prairie ill probably redesign him #probably blushing umbrella stealer and hooray-ing single momery valley person will be next cause i want to change them #theyre too cool for such bad designs (imo) #sky cotl #skyblr #sky children of the light #sky: cotl #sky elders #daleth #isle elder #i was really undecided about how i wanted to redesign daleth cause i love his design's features but i dont like how it lays on him #i was really on the edge about still having those line things on his main robe (can be seen in the picture) but ended up going without it #as said in the bottom text; i dont want to make them to busy or full.. i want to keep it simple but recognisable #and I felt that the lines may cross the very thin line of busy and simple with them #but yeah i like #how he looks like a housewife welcoming his husband home from work in the bottom left of the second image so silly

like i have a BIG interest in cut content in video games and it sucks how there's a ton of it for sky but nobody can post anything about it because it's hacked. who give a shit. i want to so badly to pick apart and examine everything i can find, if it's light awaits content or concepts that got scrapped before they even made it to beta or the little bits and pieces of concept art they release... it's all so interesting to me and there's so much i don't know about because hacked content is shut down immediately

#i know i go back and forth between ‘’i hate sky’’ and ‘’me and the bestie’’ but there’s something about it that just intrigues me #the lore. the gameplay. the spirits and storytelling… the literal goldmine of unused content #obsolete systems and mechanics and assets that were once used in the pre-beta and no longer serve a purpose yet remain intact and abandoned #the invisible boat in prairie which once a core part of the village and ferried you to each island #when activated‚ it begins its coded path‚ circling around the islands. it bumps into every dock and piece of land that has been added #since its abandonment. sorry for writing so much about this boat it’s one of my favorite things in this game

[neechees]

For ppl who like powwows (esp Ndns), in the tags, put if you dance or not (& your category), what your favorite category to watch is, what your favorite dance category is, what your favorite dance genre is (like crowhop, double beat, sneak up, etc), & what your favorite drum group is

#I'll start #I dance fancy shawl but I'm thinking of switchin #I live watching Fancy Bustle & Prairie chicken #fav dance category is prairie chicken #fav to dance to is crow hop #or sneak up #& my fav drum group/s are Northern Cree / Whitefish jrs / young spirit #pow wow #ndn

There are only 3 important things in the world, first one is Kaneki, second one is Tokyo and the third one is Pathetic Fallacy

#father son and the Holy Spirit etc etc #Kaneki is actually God you guys he is I promise he’s so important #if I do not look at him once a day I go insane #thankfully I have looked at him every day for the past 3 years #he’s the thundering horse he’s the prairie he’s the sky and the stones beneath us #he is the SUN #KEN KANEKI IS THE SUN #DEPRESSED BOY WITH DRY HAIR PANDA CIRCLES AND A BAD ATTITUDE #INFINITELY SOFT INFINITELY HARSH #WHEN HE LAYS DOWN TO SLEEP THE UNIVERSE FOLDS AND TWISTS UNCOMFORTABLY TO HOLD HIM #FOR HE IS LOVED BY THE STARS THEMSELVES #praise be to the boy who keeps shoving people in his mouth and sobbing and begging for affection #he’s more skrunkly than any man could hope to be #kaneki ken

Tubes Co-founder and Bassist Rick Anderson Dies at 75

- “Rick brought a steady and kind presence to the band,” the Tubes say

Bassist Rick Anderson, who co-founded the Tubes in 1972, has died, his bandmates said.

“We lost our brother,” the Tubes said Dec. 18 in announcing Anderson’s death two days prior. The bassist was 75; no cause was given.

“Rick brought a steady and kind presence to the band for 50 years,” the Tubes said. “His love came through his bass.”

Anderson was a “massively underrated bassist,” Fernando Perdomo said in mourning the musician’s death.

Best known for wild stage shows and such songs as “White Punks on Dope,” “Talk to Ya Later” and “She’s a Beauty,” the Tubes released eight studio albums between 1975 and 1996.

Todd Rundgren produced two of their albums and the band toured with Utopia. Tubes drummer Prairie Prince and keyboardist Vince Welnick - who subsequently joined the Grateful Dead - both played in Rundgren’s bands.

“May Rick Anderson rest in peace and love,” Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony Foundation said.

The Tubes are scheduled to tour the U.K. in July 2023.
