Wikipedia Trail: From Hindu Mythological Wars to Nuclear Fallout


  • Hindu Mythological Wars
    • Ancient Hindu wars are the battles described in the Hindu texts of ancient India. These battles depict great heroes, demons, magic weapons, supernatural beings. Most of the major wars were said to be fought to uphold Dharma (righteousness that brings prosperity to humanity) over Adharma (wickedness that causes humanity to suffer).

  • Celestial Weapons
    • Brahmastra: is a weapon said to be embedded with the power of Brahma that releases millions of missiles that can cause mass destruction and even the end of civilizations if not wielded by a celestial fighter. The power of this weapon is compared to that of modern nuclear weapons. Source: Celestial Weapons 
  • Nuclear Weapon
    • "A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions." Source: Nuclear Weapon Wiki
  • Nuclear Fallout
    • "Is the residual radioactive material propelled into the upper atmosphere following a nuclear blast, so called because it "falls out" of the sky after the explosion and the shock wave have passed. It commonly refers to the radioactive dust and ash created when a nuclear weapon explodes. Fallout may get entrained with the products of a pyrocumulus cloud and fall as black rain." Source: Nuclear Fallout Wiki
    • Which all sounds terrifying tbh.

    Hi there! Your Wikipedia Trails was pretty dark, from celestial weapons to nuclear weapons and nuclear fallout. There's such a fear surrounding nuclear weapons and when they're going to be used, which I bet is pretty similar to how the citizens in the Epics felt wondering whenever one of the celestial weapons would be used to wreak havoc. I can't imagine the black rain the nuclear fallout talked about either, scary stuff.

Week 13 Storytelling: Kumby's Plan

(Kumbhakarna from Smite Game Official Wiki ) As he slumbered the pounding of drums and the ringing of trumpets rolled through his unconscious mind.  Though he was cursed to slumber for half of the year, Kumby still absorbed the happenings around him. Kumby slumbered on but the pounding of drums grew steadily louder. He rolled over, covering his ears with his massive arms. However, his giant arms were not enough to drown out the sounds. "Kumby! Wake up brother, I need you now!"  a distant voice called, cutting through the fog in his mind. "Rav?" he muttered groggily. The voice called again. Kumby's eyes opened slowly blinking away the sleep. He rubbed at them with the backs of his meaty hands. "Kumby, brother, the kingdom is under attack. We are at war. I need you fighting beside me," Rav said, clapping his brother on his enormous shoulder. Kumby, the giant, blinked again willing all of the grogginess out of his mind. "What wa...

Project Brainstorm/Research

I have been going over ideas in my head and I know that I want to do a storybook rather than a portfolio.  I might retell the Ramayana in a new, unique way. Don't ask me what that new and/or unique way is because I have no idea yet, but I'm working on it. Source:  http://ackguide.blogspot.com/p/ramayana.html Source:  https://www.tatacliq.com/que/ramayana-modern-retelling/ I am leaning more toward this option: I want to take the deities and mythological creatures found in these epics and create a completely new epic of my own.

Gender flipping always makes for a fun read and fresh look at an old tale. Source:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draupadi So...
