The Future of Geekagogue


Image result for future
So it's Friday, and usually I would post a fun theory or top ten post, but today I have to be serious. Today I wanna talk about the future of this blog.

Write now, I'm the only person actively posting on Geekagogue​. Purblind and Arthur are still listed as contributers, but they rarely/never post. All I'm waiting for is their okay and they'll Be removed from the list.

Geekagogue is about community, but I'm the only member of that community. I'm going to begin searching for new authors, so expect a lot of shake ups soon. Until then, I will continue to post every Friday (next Friday will be a post I've worked on for months).

Please be patient as I try to get Geekagogue back on it's feet, and as always, have a very fine day.

The Crystal Gems Saved Lapis Lazuli

So within Steven Universe, in many episodes that involve the character Lapis Lazuli, she talks about how horrible it was being trapped in a mirror for so long. She asks the Crystal Gems if they regret putting her there, and for the most part they really don't, and I think I know why. See, that gem saved Lapis, saved her from a fate worse than being trapped in a mirror, it saved her from corruption.
See, we know that all Gems not poofed or protected by Rose Quartz were corrupted. And we know that the corruption occured through a bright light in the sky, and what do we see at the end of Lapis' flash back after she was trapped in the mirror? The same light. Being in that mirror saved Lapis' life. If she wasn't in the mirror she would just be another corrupted gem for the Crystal Gems to bubble.
Well, that's all for now, sorry about the short post today, I'm currently on vacation. Until next week, have a very fine day.

Plot Twist: Subway Surfers Is About Purgatory

Subway Surfers is a mobile game that pretty much everyone has played, or at least heard about it. I myself play it pretty regularly. But there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. Like, for instance, why is it called Subway Surfers if it's not in a subway? It takes place on train tracks, but they're definitely not underground. Another thing is the overweight security guard that can somehow keep up with you, no matter how many jet packs and jumping boots you use. Also, how are you able to keep running after you get pulverized by a train?
I can answer all of these questions, and more.
First, let's visit one of my all time favorite television shows. In season one, episode ten of Twilight Zone. It opens with a man standing on the deck of a ship, with no knowledge of who he is or how he got there. In a series of events, he and all the other passengers on the boat get slaughtered by a German U-Boat. As it turns out, the aforementioned man is actually the captain of the U-boat. Because of his horrendous actions, he is doomed to his own personal hell where he is a passenger on the boat he destroys, and has to die over and over, for all eternity. At the end of the episode, he wakes on the deck of the ship, not knowing who he is or how he got there.
I can hear everyone (and my fellow author) asking "what does that have anything to do with Subway Surfers?''
Well my friends, let me explain you a thing.
I propose that the characters in Subway Surfers are dead, killed in some way by the trains. They are running from the security guard, which is most likely Satan, complete with a hell hound. He's chasing the characters, most likely trying to get them out of purgatory and into the underworld. But what can you use to get away from him in-game? Those blue keys you get from completing challenges and whatnot. What if those are the keys to hell? That may be stretching it a bit. 
Anyway, I said I'd answer the question of why it's called Subway Surfers. This is one of the simpler answers. Sub is a Latin prefix that basically means below. Below, underworld, I think you get it.
That about wraps it up. What do you think about it? Tell us in the comments below!
