The Land of Light and Rain (LOLARHS), is Rose Lalonde's planet in The Medium.

Concept and creation[]

Lolar venus

Photography of the same face of Venus used to create the Land of Light and Rain.

The land's light is a transparent reference to Rose's Light aspect, while rain was the weather Rose experienced as she struggled to enter Sburb, connecting to her broader association with the element of water. Of the four items in the first iteration of Can Town, the Land of Light and Rain's chalky islands connect to the box of chalk, just as the other three items connect to John Egbert, Dave Strider and Jade Harley.

Light and rain are both the elements required to form a rainbow, giving the planet its distinct multicolored appearance; its specific color scheme is seemingly based on the cyan-magenta-yellow subtractive color model, which is how colors of light mix with each other. The rainbow planet could also been seen as prefiguring Rose's relationship with the rainbow drinker Kanaya Maryam, or even more broadly her gay identity. The planet appears to graphically be a recolor of the planet Venus, another possible allusion to Rose's love of women.

The acronym LOLAR is superficially similar to the name Lalonde; before the reveal of her full name, Roxy Lalonde was sometimes called by the anagram RO-LAL.HS

Geography[]

Landoflightandrain

Rose's house is located on a large island. The tunnel beneath Jaspers' mausoleum now leads to a dock, from which Rose's Mom left to another island covered in purple ruins, containing at least one powerful enemy and a transportalizer to the ectobiology lab in The Veil.

As far as can be seen, it is an endless ocean of magenta, cyan, and yellow water, dotted with many yellow rainclouds. There are a few islands, covered in white sand (possibly Rose's associated item, chalk, much as John's world is covered in oil).


Habitation[]

This planet is home to pink turtle consorts, and the denizen Cetus, a sea monster befitting such an oceanic world.

Chalk Imps, Marble Imps, Lime Ogres, and Caulk Liches have appeared on the planet, all easily defeated by Rose. The majority of these underlings are white in color, matching the mineral composition of the Land of Light and Rain's surface.

History[]

LOLAR temple

Jaspersprite revealed that the ocean was once full of fish, but they have since been eaten by the denizen, which is now sleepingHS - curiously, the meteor that carried Rose to Earth as a baby also destroyed all aquatic life in a nearby lakeHS. Rose's original quest was said to involve learning to play the rain,HS no doubt through a combination of the rain's distinct string-like appearance and Rose's skills on the violin.

The Land of Light and Rain corresponds to the second planet in Can Town.

John arrived at the planet soon after Rose entered, but finding her asleep, left to explore the planet. He shortly left the planet via transportalizer to the Veil. Rose destroyed her First Gate soon afterwards, and left her house's island to explore on her own. Rose dismantled a large Turtle building, finding inside what appears to be a large Captchalogue Card for the Green Sun. She later found a crystal ball and studied Turtle books in some sort of library. She soon left the planet.

Jade Harley shrinks the planet, along with the others, with her god tier powers and takes them beyond the reach of the scratch. After arriving in the new session, LOLAR and the other planets of the Beta kids were placed into orbit around Skaia.

During Aranea's battle with the Condesce, Aranea used her proxy abilities to launch LOLAR at LOFAF, where they were fighting, destroying the Condesce's ship and severely damaging both planets.
