Throne of Styrofoam
Last edited Tue Oct 21, 2025, 09:48 PM - Edit history (1)
My latest video in the Firefly Series. NO KINGS.
Drop me a like or a comment. Subscribe.
In a broken age of plastic crowns and televised coronations, the people gather in the ruins.
The Mad King throws a tantrum from the sky.
A crown lies in the dust, ringed by crows—black heralds of the old order.
Around it stand the jarheads, their glass skulls lit with captive fireflies: the last honest light in a landfill kingdom.
Throne of Styrofoam is a one-minute revolt—a painterly vision of impermanence, rebellion, and the strange afterglow of democracy.
✴️ Part of the Firefly Resistance series
🎥 Art, direction, and voice by Larkworthy / Strayline Roswell collaboration
“No kings since 1776.”
“Let the crows inherit the crown.” 👑
The throne was never gold—it was Styrofoam all along.
The crows know.
The fireflies remember.
✴️ No Kings Since 1776
