Bando Durante

Bando Durante is the leader and founder of the glorious death cult, Mors Omnibus. He was born in the year 862 in East Francia making him not that old really if you think about it.

Bando Durante used to be a blacksmith (BOOORRIIIINNNNGGG) before he started the amazing cult. He sports beautiful, luscious hair and no flesh whatsoever. Despite his undead nature (which is far far superior than the living 🤢) he is very strong and cool and beautiful.

His hobbies include; knitting, sacrificial killings to strengthen higher powers, origami, reading, torturing the blasphemous and long walks on the beach at sunset.

I just saw Bando Durante in the catacombs, he's so cool!

O em gee!!! So true!!! I love it when he skins the blasphemous alive!!

Short-Duration Motion

Movement that happens so quickly you barely register it, from the blink of an eye to the snap of a finger to the moment your phone slides off the table and you fail to catch it. Short-duration motion is the realm of reflexes, instinct, and regret—the split second when you realize you've said something stupid and watch the other person's face change in slow motion, even though the actual motion was fast. It's the temporal home of accidents, epiphanies, and the exact moment a toast lands butter-side down.

Example: "The short-duration motion of the car accident lasted less than a second, but he replayed it for months—the screech, the impact, the airbag. His therapist said that's normal: short events, long consequences. He said he'd prefer shorter consequences and longer events, like a nice vacation."

Medium-Duration Motion

Movement that unfolds over minutes, hours, or days—the commute to work, the slow crawl of a deadline, the gradual realization that the person you're dating is not who you thought they were. Medium-duration motion is the rhythm of daily life, too fast to be geological, too slow to be instantaneous, just right for watching paint dry or grass grow or a relationship deteriorate in slow motion. It's the temporal scale of human experience, where most of life happens and most of it is waiting.

*Example: "The medium-duration motion of his morning routine was carefully optimized: 12 minutes for coffee, 8 for shower, 15 for pretending to read the news while actually scrolling social media. When his therapist asked why he scheduled his life to the minute, he said it was the only way to feel in control of a universe that was, at larger scales, completely indifferent."*

Long-Duration Motion

Movement that occurs over years, decades, or centuries—the drift of continents, the erosion of mountains, the slow transformation of a person from eager youth to jaded adult. Long-duration motion is the realm of glaciers, grief, and gradual change, too slow to perceive in real time but undeniable when you look back. It's why your parents seem to have aged overnight (they didn't, you just weren't paying attention) and why the photo of you from ten years ago looks like a different person (it was, basically).

Example: "He didn't notice the long-duration motion of his own aging until he saw a photo from college. The person in the photo had more hair, fewer worries, and a smile that hadn't yet learned what the world was like. He stared for a long time, then went for a walk, aware that even as he walked, he was still moving through time, becoming someone else."

Long-Duration Motion Machines

The natural and artificial systems that move things across geological timescales—glaciers that carve valleys over millennia, tectonic plates that rearrange continents over eons, and human institutions that change so slowly they might as well be geological. Long-duration motion machines include the slowly shifting course of rivers, the gradual uplift of mountains, and the federal government, which moves with approximately the same speed and predictability as a continent, just with more paperwork.

Example: "She studied glaciers as long-duration motion machines, watching them inch forward year after year, carving landscapes with patience that humans cannot fathom. When her grant was delayed by government bureaucracy—another long-duration motion machine—she found the irony unbearable. The glacier, she noted, was faster."

Short-Duration Motion Machines

Devices designed to capture, measure, or create movements that happen in fractions of a second—high-speed cameras that freeze bullets in flight, strobe lights that reveal the wingbeat of a hummingbird, and the shutter button on your phone that you press a moment too late, capturing your friend's blink instead of their smile. These machines reveal a world that exists too fast for human perception, a hidden realm of split-second decisions, fleeting expressions, and the exact moment a water balloon bursts.

Short-Duration Motion Machines *Example: "He bought a short-duration motion machine—a high-speed camera that could record 100,000 frames per second. His first project was filming a water balloon popping. The footage revealed structures and patterns no human eye had ever seen. His second project was filming his cat knocking things off tables, which was less scientific but more entertaining."*
