    Pop Culture References in OiM Chapter 23

    Spoilers, obviously.

    The title of the chapter itself is a reference to Everything Everywhere All At Once, a really fantastic film I recommend everyone watch.

    The opening scene with the song Stuck in the Middle With You is a reference to the infamous torture scene from Reservoir Dogs

    One More Day...

    I'm sorry for the delay but things on Thursday didn't go as planned and I just need one final day to get everything perfect for the story. I must delay to Saturday but I won't be going to bed tonight until I have the final barriers worked out. Below we have a brief sneak peak of the start of the chapter.

    It's so soon

    The rough draft of the next chapter is 90% complete. I intend to post the finalized version this coming Friday. There will be Discord, there will be Starlight, there will possibly be multimedia integration, and there will be plenty more pop cultural references as befitting a chapter with Discord.

    Keep your eyes open and your OiM decoder rings at the ready.

Pop Culture References in my latest Chapter of OIM · 10:54pm May 30th, 2023

I didn't bury the most recent chapter in television and movie references, but threw a few in there as part of a demonstration of how bizarre things are when you are locked in Discord's sights. References within the story are listed below, mostly offered because the references may not be recognized by younger readers. Please read the chapter first






Discord mentions NLP, which stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming is related to hypnosis.
Ericksonian hypnosis relates to the work and teachings of Milton Erickson, most famous for the handshake induction.

The bizarre details of the initial trial room are all taken from the Jon Delancy character Q's first appearance in Star Trek TNG Encounter at Farpoint.

The interplay of "I want the truth," "You can't handle the Truth" and "You're damned right I did" are all the major beats of a famous courtroom scene in the movie A Few Good M3n

Thanks! Missed Milton Erickson and Q, caught the others. Their use in the Discord Dimension was very appropriate.
