Reading Notes: Epified Krishna Section B

Epified Krishna

After watching the rest of the Epified Krishna videos, I think making a short parody story about Krishna's stories would be really fun. The thing I was constantly noticing was how many cliche things were happening throughout each tale. At the time of the story's creation, the cliches didn't exist, but they do now.

There are also just weird things that happen, for example, everyone is surprised when he calms the snakes and they're like, "whoa, he must be an Avatar!". Why didn't they notice something was up when he has blue skin? Or the fact that Krishna's dad takes him, breaks into a woman's house, leaves Krishna there and steals the woman's daughter, returns to prison and lets Kamsa kill the girl. And no one acts like that's weird.

There's Something Strange About That Krishna... (Source: wikimedia.org)

I would just like to poke some playful fun at some of the narrative strangeness that the story has. Like when Mathura is under attack, I'd want everyone to be like, "Krishna, do your thing!" only for Krishna to respond with, "No I think we should just move."

Everyone gives up and moves, and the king would be getting ready to be king of Dwarka instead of Mathura, but Krishna has to stop him there, "You know, since I had us move here and stuff, thiiiiiiis is actually going to be my kingdom. Also I could've killed that guy super easily."

Like, that king would've been a little upset. Even if Krishna is the reincarnation of a god, he's not supposed to be the reincarnation of a dick.

Introduction to a Mechanical Engineering Major

My name is Callum Maguire, and I am a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering. The coolest class I took last semester was AC Systems, which explored how air conditioning systems work and how they cool down rooms. Get it? Coolest class? Jokes aside, it was a very interesting course that opened my eyes to how complex a system the air conditioning in a building is, as even a single room can be a lot to deal with as far as calculations go. I was raised on Star Wars and Tolkien, so they happen to be some of my favorite works, however I'm also very fond of superhero movies, sitcoms like Community and IT Crowd, as well as sci-fi and fantasy novels. Long story short, I'm a nerd. Best movie I've seen recently is The Last Jedi, which is something of a controversial opinion I guess, but I don't care. I enjoyed it, and that's all there is to it. I recently re-read one of my childhood favorite novels, Redwall, which was a nice trip down memory lane. It was clear that it wasn...

Week 7 Story: Demon Days

Long ago, in the land of Midor, there lived a humble man by the name of Shakiro. He was a simple man, and he led a simple life. One day, when Shakiro was wandering about the forest, searching for food, he encountered a a creature that had become trapped by some kind of strange apparatus. When he approached the odd creature, he was surprised to hear the creature speak to him! "Hello there, human. I was trapped here, unable to escape my bindings without assistance from a human... I don't imagine you'd be willing to help, so just run away now like the rest of your kind." This perplexed Shakiro, as he couldn't figure out why the creature would just assume he wouldn't help out. If Shakiro was anything, he was generous! He looked the creature up and down and decided he seemed harmless enough. "I will not run away!" Exclaimed Shakiro, "I'm going to free you, my friend." He took care to break the chains that held the creatu...
