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.

My Favorite Place, the Wichita Mountains

My favorite place is located in southwestern Oklahoma, near the town of Lawton. It is the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, in particular Mount Scott and Elk Mountain. These two sites offer incredibly breathtaking views as well as fantastic opportunities for hiking, bouldering, and rock climbing. Mt. Scott Mt. Scott features a road that snakes its way up the small "mountain", culminating in a parking lot at the top. This location is fantastic is most likely what most people imagine when they think of the Wichita Mountains. It has gorgeous views of the surrounding area, including hills, forests, towns, and lakes, as well as plenty of spots to hike and climb. I have visited Mt. Scott countless times, initially just driving up to the top with my family, but eventually hiking up it with friends. It is a place that I feel very connected to, for reasons I cannot seem to explain. Whenever I hear people claim that Oklahoma isn't pretty, all I have to do is imagine the vie...

Week 2 Story: The City of Wives

Aves Andoran stood on the deck of a warship, loaded to the brim full of fighting men. He had grown up hearing tales and whispers of Ceylon, the Island of Goblins, and had vowed that one day, he would be the one to slay the Goblins. Now, he was leading the expedition that would put an end to that ancient menace. Rough Seas on Route to Ceylon (Source: pixabay.com ) Seemingly out of nowhere, a massive storm appeared around the ship, and the waves began crashing into the hull of the ship, drenching the men on the deck to the bone. Through the spray of the violent sea, Aves saw the rage of the storm above, as massive bolts of lightning of every shade and color danced through the clouds. Occasionally, one would race down to the surface of the sea and explode with an unimaginable force. Before his eyes, a bolt of green lightning, cackling with wicked energy embedded itself into the deck of the ship, splitting the mast down the middle before rending the ship into pieces. Wh...
