#What are the 3 types of Ignition Systems

[projectfreefall]

How long does a carriage normally last? Are there any noticeable frame changes?

Stoodie: For the sake of simplicity, we shall use Earth units of time! Time on Cybertron is far different than time on Earth, as our planet

has longer days and takes longer to orbit our star! Fun fact, our planet takes 83.3 earth years aka a vorn to orbit our star!

The average carriage takes about 3 Earth years from sparking

to emergence! A long time to you humans, surely! But a quick process considering our very long lives! And it affects us in some similar and some dramatically different ways!

It seems you are interested in learning more about the details of Cybertronian biology! Delightful! I love to see creatures eager to learn!

Click the read more and follow along the C.A.R.I.E. cycle!

(Stoodie will be used to answer History/biology asks that aren't asked to a specific character! And if anyone wishes to use these headcanons in their own works, that is 100% allowed!)

(Caution: fictional infant development topics of pregnancy and labor under the read more.)

Stoodie: A cybertronian's gestation goes through four key phases!

Phase one: The first phase of a carriage is called "The Orbit". This phase starts the second after two or more sparks participate in a merge that successfully causes one of the creator's sparks to fissure from the electrical surge and ignite a proto-spark.

Over the course of 2-5 hours, this proto-spark will spin chaotically from the energy still surging through it from the merge. In this state, it will either destabilize and fizzle out into nothing, or if a stable rotation and energy level is achieved, it will form its own orbit around the adult spark. The proto-spark, completing its first full stable orbit, signals the start of its journey.

Over the following month, the sparkling's orbit will change the nature of its new carrier's spark. The two will form a small gravitational field as they pull at each other. The presence of that field of influence causes the carrier's spark to release an energy signature signaling to the rest of their systems to begin construction of a body for this new energy. Sparks do not like to share their chambers, you see, so it becomes the frame's mission to get this new spark out of it. This is the end stage of the first phase of gestation and is usually when a Cybertronian discovers they are carrying, as they will feel a strange fluttering static inside their chest. That is, unless it's discovered earlier by physically opening the spark chamber for whatever reason.

Phase Two: Well, now we've got a little bitty one on the way, who needs a body, and how does the Carrier build that body? Well, first, they will need resources! The carrier will spend the remainder of the first year of their carriage accumulating resources like energon, metal, and nanites and stockpiling them in special ways.

For example, the metal that will physically build the little one is stored in Carrier's own armor. Now, to store that access metal without symphoning what the carrier needs for their own body, the excess metals and minerals are added onto the carrier's armor, physically increasing their density and making them much sturdier to protect the delicate newspark inside, but also much heavier! Most carriers will weigh 5-15 tons more, depending on the sparkling frame type, by the end of this stage of sparkling development. But that armor is tougher than a tank's during it, protecting both baby and parent!

One of the most important stockpiled resources in this phase are construction nanites from the sire, after all if the carrier's frame only used their own nanites, they would just try and program and grow a clone of the carrier, which might cause spark-frame disconection errors as this new body would try and steal the carrier's spark and not the one it was intended for. So nanites need to be taken from the Sire so that there are two different codes interchanging information to build a body tuned to the sparkling's unique frequency that was generated when it was sparked. This ensures that the only spark leaving the carrier's spark chamber at emergence is the sparkling's.

There are many ways for a carrier to harvest the sire's Nanites, and each couple has their preferences. The most efficient is for the sire and the carrier to do a cross-feed connection with fuel lines found in their chassis. While it is the fastest and most efficient way to transfer the nanites, as this method only needs to be used once, most bots find it the most boring, as you have to basically sit there and do nothing until the carrier's storage tank has filled.

Another example that I guess could be considered appropriate in terms of content, though I find it rather barbaric, is Syphoning. Akin to how you humans portray vampires, a carrier with pronounced fang-like denta can bite and steal the nanites from their partner. Obviously, many bots try and avoid needing to syphon as it's not exactly a painless way of doing it, but one that has developed in our species in the event of an emergency situation. Carriers are known to develop permanently pronounced canines during carriage, and it's common for some to have a medic reduce them down.

There was an old saying that you could tell a bot had carried either many bitlets or multiple times the longer their canines were. That, of course, was a tall tale and has no scientific backing to prove that the number of sparkling a carrier has effects the length of their denta. Anywho, we are getting distracted, moving on!

Phase Three: This is the longest phase in the carrying process and lasts 2 years! During this phase, the gestation chamber takes over primary control of the creator's T-cog to change its structure, which also means the carrier loses the ability to shift into their altmode the deeper into this phase the carriage gets. And like anyone going through gestation emotions can run wild!

It goes from being a rather small, unnoticeable spherical chamber under the spark chamber to a structure that could best be described as a clawed servo that spans a majority of the hollow space it's created through the T-cog in the chassis. This clawed servo structure forms an antigravity field only within the sphere of influence it has between its digits. It fills this gravitational void with a dark and thick, viscous material composed of energon, nanites, plastics, oils, and metals. It has the consistency of the earth food, jello. Inside this ball of goo is where the sparkling body will be constructed. And thanks to the antigravity field that protects the space, it doesn't matter how hard the carrier is jostled, the sparkling's frame will not move inside this space and is protected from physical damage.

During phase 3, both sets of construction nanites (sire and carrier) work in tandem to construct the sparkling's frame. This process takes a long time because the nanites do not always get along, and one team may deconstruct the parts the other group has constructed. In the first year of the building, both creators' nanites will fight each other over what elements and features they want to remain in the final construction. From the color of the optics to the shape of the olfactory and even the final altmode class, all these necessary components are determined by the winner of the individual fight when construction first occurs.

By the second year of the construction phase, the nanites have settled on what features to build and focus solely on building. That's why some sparkling may look more like one creator than another; it's all due to which creators' nanites were the more successful in fighting for their preferred features. By the end of the carriage, all of the sire's nanites will have died off from fuel deficiency and will be recycled as material into the sparkling's frame.

(WARNING EMERGENCE BELOW. Nothing graphic but may be upsetting to those with issues revolving around the topic of labor)

Phase Four: Once the sparkling's frame is constructed, a portion of the carrier's nanites will sacrifice themselves to cause an electrical pulse to activate the sparkling's frame. This activation Is temporary and lasts only long enough for the frame to let off a signal tuned to the newsparks frequency, which coaxes the sparkling to leave its carrier's spark and descend from the spark chamber of its carrier into the gestation chamber where it will be locked into its brand new spark chamber. Once that new chamber is fully sealed, the sparkling frame jolts from new life activation protocols and the emergence protocol begins!

This is a very delicate task but also very straightforward. The carrier will be driven by the C.A.R.I.E protocol to seek a safe, quiet, and secluded space for emergence due to its delicate nature. During this phase over the course of 2-7 days on average the carrier will be in "labor" as their frame opens their chassis and moves the carriers spark chamber out of the way to quite literally drop out the sparkling. The carrier will drop onto their elbows and knees so gravity can do the work and the ejection has the lightest impact.

and TADAAA! You have yourself a fresh bitty! They are but a fraction of the adult's size and have zero kibble or color outside their spark, optic, and biolight color. So teeny and helpless and precious.

though the development of a sparkling outside of its carrier is a lesson for another day!

this concludes our lesson for the day!

First combat! I’ve been really excited for this because it’s the first time I’ve had the opportunity to watch a Daggerheart combat with the rulebook open on my second screen. I’m going to try to break down the mechanics of what’s happening in this post from a GM's perspective because while I’m watching for the story, I’m also watching to see if this is potentially a fun system for my home group that has players who range from the old school/crunchy mechanics types to players who don’t enjoy crunchy mechanics nearly as much. I wanted to have notes to look back on and to share with friends who don't necessarily enjoy watching actual plays, and figured I might as well post them publicly in case anyone else is interested in the combat crunch like I am. I'm going to put this behind a cut because the post got long. Also major spoiler alert for the first combat of Age of Umbra. as I did my best to break down the entire fight move by move.

1. Taliesin gets to open combat with his ice knife spell. Very different than an initiative system where more often than not a player says “I’d like to do X before combat opens,” causing the GM to say, “Actually we’re going to roll initiative first.” So often in the initiative example the player who wanted to make the inciting action doesn’t get to go first which feels bad because by the time it gets to their turn the cool idea they had doesn’t make sense anymore. This allows Taliesin to do his cool thing while also forcing the consequence of locking the party into committing to the combat encounter as the enemies attack. (Before Taliesin cast his spell they were debating between attacking or trying to backtrack and avoid the creatures.)

2. Travis attacks the Red Ooze with his halberd. Not having to worry overly much about movement/distance saves time in the combat and means he gets to do his cool thing. However, the Red Ooze has a skill that allows the GM to use their reaction that only unlocks after they’ve taken a certain level of damage. Matt spends 1 Fear to use the creature’s “Split” reaction which creates two unharmed Tiny Red Oozes in the first creature’s place and spotlights them immediately. He utilizes this spotlight to retaliate against Travis, then passes the spotlight back to the players at the table.

3. Marisha attacks a skeleton and fails with Hope. She takes a hope token, but her failure allows Matt to take back the spotlight and have the skeleton attack her character in return.

4. Matt spends a fear to keep the spotlight and a second ooze attacks Taliesin. He then narrates two more skeletons’ arrival—this doesn’t seem to be a GM move, I think he’s just narrating the presence of two more of the enemies that the players could already see on the battle map. After this he passes the spotlight back.

5. Ashley uses the spotlight to cast a spell, then Sam takes the spotlight to examine the map. Sam is able to use his Ridgeborne community feature to get advantage on the roll, then he spends a hope token add his Well-Traveled experience modifier. He rolls a 17 with Fear and Matt’s interpretation of this roll is that Sam gets a better understanding of the map and realizes that they are not on the right path and he can identify which path on the map is the correct one. (Matt doesn’t share the DC he chose, but it seems like the 17 was high enough to be considered a success.)

6. Matt takes the spotlight again as a result of the success with fear. He uses the mini oozes to attack Travis again, then spends another fear to have a skeleton attack Ashley. He spends a second fear to have the enraptured skeleton attack Ashley as well. He then chooses to pass the spotlight back to the players.

7. Taliesin uses his Ice Spike spell as a support/utility spell and takes 1d4 damage due to his ignited condition. The ice spike is cast near Travis to help him as his character is currently ignited as well. Matt rules that the ice spike will give anyone near the spike advantage on their finesse roll to put out their fire. (As an aside I think it is very cool that the “if” on the spell description explicitly allows for non-combat use. I love playing utility casters and one of my concerns is that at launch there aren’t a huge number of spells in the Codex domain. But if the spells that do exist have wider application than similar spells in D&D/Pathfinder this might not feel as bad as I was concerned it would.) Taliesin succeeded with fear, which I think should have passed the spotlight to Matt, but I suspect that the table forgot about this in the discussion of what the support ice spike would do. (TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS FINE. THE GOAL OF PLAYING A TTRPG WITH YOUR FRIENDS IS TO HAVE FUN AND HAVING FUN DOESN’T REQUIRE MECHANICAL PERFECTION. I only mentioned this because the purpose of this post is to get really crunchy about the mechanics.)

8. Travis takes the spotlight to make his finesse roll with advantage to put out his ignited condition.

9. Marisha takes the spotlight to attack again. She succeeds with fear then makes an agility roll to move a far distance and fails with fear.

10. Matt takes the spotlight and attacks Travis with the two mini oozes. He misses with both, then spends a fear to spotlight an ooze that attacks and ignites Sam’s character. Matt spends another fear and spotlights a skeleton to attack Ashley then passes the spotlight to the table.

11. Taliesin takes the spotlight to try to put out his ignited condition and rolls a success with fear. Matt allows Taliesin to take his movement before taking the spotlight back as a result of the fear roll.

12. Matt moves his spotlight back to the ooze next to Sam, specifies that their map is starting to burn, and attacks. He misses and passes the spotlight back without spending any fear to take other actions.

13. Travis takes the spotlight and marks a stress to use his spirit weapon to destroy two oozes after succeeding with fear. He passes an agility roll (with hope) to move to a far distance at the end of his turn.

14. Matt takes the spotlight next because of the fear roll. He attacks and attempts to ignite Marisha and she uses an armor to negate the damage and avoid lighting on fire. (Avoiding the fire was a GM decision.)

15. Marisha takes the spotlight and attacks the ooze who just attacked her. She uses an Orderbound Virtue to change her hope dice into a d20 and succeeds with hope. Matt spends a fear to split the ooze, but does not retake the spotlight.

16. Sam takes the spotlight. He puts out the fire on the map as a free action, then fails a roll (with hope) to put out his ignited condition. Matt allows him to use movement to move away from danger.

17. Matt retakes the spotlight and attacks Ashley. Marisha uses “I Am Your Shield” to take the blow instead since she is within close range and uses an armor to negate the damage.

18. Taliesin takes the spotlight to drop an ice knife next to Sam then moves.

19. Sam takes the spotlight to try to put out his fire and rolls with advantage because of the ice spike. He succeeds with fear.

20. Matt takes the spotlight and has a skeleton try to attack Ashley again. He misses then spends a fear to have a skeleton miss again. He spends another fear to have an ooze attack Ashley and miss. He chooses to let the spotlight pass back to the players.

21. Ashley takes the spotlight and fails a roll with hope to move a far distance.

22. Matt takes the spotlight back and has a skeleton attack Ashley. He finally hits it Ashley spends an armor to avoid damage. Matt passes the spotlight back.

23. Marisha takes the spotlight and attacks an ooze then spends a hope to do a whirlwind attack and take out two oozes, then moves a close distance.

24. Taliesin takes the spotlight and throws an ice spike at a skeleton, succeeding with hope and destroying the skeleton.

As all the character had begun to flee, Matt decides that they outrun the remaining skeleton and the encounter ends.

Travis: 3 moves | Ashley: 2 moves | Marisha: 5 moves | Taliesin: 5 moves | Sam: 3 moves | Matt: 16 moves

I noticed several things about the combat.

Matt took about the same number of moves as the players. (The 5 players took a combined 18 moves while Matt took 16.) When the players were able to take several turns in a row, he would spend fear on his turns to take extra GM moves. When a player would take the spotlight from him and then immediately either fail an action roll or succeed with fear Matt would take one move and then allow the spotlight to pass back to the players. The players them selves did not take the same number of moves (as I counted them - I could be incorrect), but at the same time it made sense for the characters. Marisha and Taliesin were tied for the most moves, but in Marisha's case it was because she had several reactions. Taliesin was balancing his moves between support and attacks. Even though the players weren't taking the exact same number of turns like they would have in initiative order, the combat itself still felt very balanced.

Additionally, the passing of spotlight between the DM and the players felt like a much smoother way of managing action economy compared to the other games I've DMed (5E and Pathfinder 1).

Ultimately I think that Daggerheart combat looks really cool. The no initiative works a lot better than I expected it to work and it really made the fight feel fun and dynamic in a way that the games I've played don't always feel. Additionally it felt like both the players and the GM had more flexibility and options than they would have in the systems I'm familiar with. Additionally, I feel like the players were more engaged when it wasn't their turn because they were always looking for the next place that it would make sense for their characters to take an action.

One slight drawback that I'm seeing is that a GM might need to prompt a player to remember to take a turn if the player doesn't take the initiative to take the spotlight themself. This might be a bit hard for someone (me) who is coming from a rigid initiative system, but at the same time I think with enough experience this would start to come naturally.

彡 as long as you're here, i can endure it. — yoon jeonghan

—office worker au! desk neighbour jeonghan.

notes ๑ gn!reader. oneshot. alt title: 9-5 jobs suck

genre ๑ fluff to angst.

warnings ๑ smoking (i don’t support smoking but it’s for the plot.)

word count ๑ 1k

from aya: please reblog if you enjoyed! feedback is always appreciated<3

the agonising sound of keyboard clicks, printers printing, and overlapped conversations rang in your ear. overwhelmed, you curled into your arms and let out a distressed exhale. you covered your ears and for a while it was tranquil.

only for a while.

“ynnnn let’s go for a smoke,” your desk neighbour, yoon jeonghan casually tugged at your sleeve without looking away from his screen. one of his hands held his cigarette pack and a lighter. even with the bulk, he was still typing like he normally would. you squinted your eyes at his laid-back nuance but did not have the energy to point out his weird skill.

you took a peek to your screen and it seemed like a good time to take a break anyway so you fulfilled his demands and got up from your seat. you waited and adjusted your clothes, standing beside jeonghan who was finishing up to his goal.

"alright, let's go!" he practically jumped out of his seat after saving his work.

+

as you reached your designated smoking spot which was just the rooftop of the building, you embraced the breeze that greeted you. you held onto the railings and looked down at the semi-dead street, wishing you were down there catching a taxi that was headed to home.

jeonghan plucked two cigarettes from the pack and positioned one in between your lips. he sparked a flame and lit his cigarette before leaning closer to you. he held your chin and as the tips of your cigarette touched, your cigarette ignited.

“9-5 jobs suck,” you exhaled expressing your disdain for your current life situation. “did someone not warn you beforehand?” jeonghan chuckled before continuing, “i think even pre-schoolers know that.”

“i'm probably just tired of how works getting repetitive," you sighed before turning to him and asking, “how are you holding on?“

“i’m fine, i really don't mind this line of work,” he took another puff, eyes squinted because of the sun targeting his face.

“really? i would've suspected that you'd hate this job more than me."

he seemed taken aback by your statement, "do you know me enough to assume things like that?"

you pouted defeatedly and nodded in agreement. he had a point, your 'relationship' with him had only begun a few months ago and there was only so much you could know about him.

-

you and jeonghan were the newest employees of the company who had started on the same day. overtime when you started to get comfortable working there, you coincidentally ran into him on the roof. both of you knew you were there for the same reasons.

since then you two have gotten closer. you two would only rely on each other, even occasionally grabbing lunch together on your accord but most of all you two always spent your breaks smoking together.

-

“just assuming from what i’ve observed so far,” you answered, pinching the smoke in between your fingers.

“you’ve been observing me?” he said cheekily.

“barely,” you sternly say while rolling your eyes.

he was humored by your expression. moving closer, he closed the distance between you and him and leaned on the railing right by you. his shoulder grazed against yours and you jolted at the sudden physical contact but tried to hide your reaction.

you cleared your throat to fill the silence, “so, what do you like about this dreadful 9-5?”

“well...it’s a bit flexible in terms of schedule. the food in the cafeteria sucks though and the people in our unit are kinda incompetent, except for me of course. the air conditioning system is quite good but it gets stuffy at times. another thing, they seriously need to upgrade the machines and technology, the printer keeps jamming on me—“

you softly smacked his arm cutting him off, “you are describing it how a person who hates this job would.”

he sneered as he looked off into the distance as if he was in a movie. he had a slight grin on his face as he truly answered your question,

“i don’t mind this job because i met you in the process."

you were in the middle of taking a drag from your cigarette when he said that. caught off guard by his words, you profusely started to choke on the smoke. “yn? you good??” he worriedly called your name and patted your back, as if that would help.

“i’m good—” you said in between coughs. "do you want me to get your water?" he bent down to your level, still patting your back.

“it's okay, we’ve got to get back to work anyways," you weakly said as you walked towards the exit door.

you faced your colleague and kept up an energy despite your throat literally dying from the inside, "come on now, i’ll make fun of you if you work overtime again," you joked, silently changing the subject.

he shook his head in disbelief and laughed as he walked towards you.

you threw your cigarette into the ashtray and opened the door to the stairs. jeonghan followed behind you disposing his cigarette before placing his hands into his pockets.

+

as you both settled down at your desks, you shared a smile with him before silently getting immersed in your work. in spite of that, some parts of you drifted into thought.

on your side, you thought that if you knew any less, you would've assumed jeonghan had feelings for you with the way he worded that answer. it wasn’t possible, he meant it in the friendship way, right?

on jeonghan's side, he was a bit disappointed, he thought today was the day he could finally confess. maybe he should’ve been a bit more direct, or was it too soon?

overall he didn’t fret much, he gets it if it was a topic you weren’t ready for. for now, as long as he had you as his desk buddy who would smoke with him in any given moment, that was enough for him. sooner or later, he knew he could eventually work his way up to being something more than someone who just smokes and gossips with you.

-

that was what he thought, until he saw your phone one day. he happened to glance at it when it was near his side. it had just received a notification from a sender under the name, “shua” followed by a pink heart. he even caught a glimpse of your smile when your eyes saw the notification.

suddenly, everything in the world clicked but for jeonghan, everything had shattered.

��shua💓: hi my love! i’ll be home early today, what do you wanna have for dinner tonight?」

JWST captures its first direct images of carbon dioxide outside solar system

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a key target for planet formation studies.

The observations provide strong evidence that the system's four giant planets formed in much the same way as Jupiter and Saturn, by slowly building solid cores. They also confirm Webb can do more than infer atmospheric composition from starlight measurements—it can directly analyze the chemistry of exoplanet atmospheres.

"By spotting these strong carbon dioxide features, we have shown there is a sizable fraction of heavier elements, such as carbon, oxygen, and iron, in these planets' atmospheres. Given what we know about the star they orbit, that likely indicates they formed via core accretion, which for planets that we can directly see is an exciting conclusion," said William Balmer, a Johns Hopkins University astrophysicist who led the work.

An analysis of the observations, which also included a system 96 light-years away called 51 Eridani, appears in The Astrophysical Journal.

HR 8799 is a young system about 30 million years old, a fraction of our solar system's 4.6 billion years. Still hot from their violent formation, HR 8799 planets emit large amounts of infrared light that give scientists valuable data on how their formation compares to that of stars or brown dwarfs.

Giant planets can take shape in two ways: by slowly building solid cores that attract gas, like our solar system, or by rapidly collapsing from a young star's cooling disk into massive objects. Knowing which model is more common can give scientists clues to distinguish between the types of planets they find in other systems.

"Our hope with this kind of research is to understand our own solar system, life, and ourselves in comparison to other exoplanetary systems, so we can contextualize our existence," Balmer said. "We want to take pictures of other solar systems and see how they're similar or different when compared to ours. From there, we can try to get a sense of how weird our solar system really is—or how normal."

Very few exoplanets have been directly imaged, as distant planets are many thousands of times fainter than their stars. By capturing direct images at specific wavelengths only accessible with the Webb, the team is paving the way for more detailed observations to determine whether the objects they see orbiting other stars are truly giant planets or objects such as brown dwarfs, which form like stars but don't accumulate enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion.

"We have other lines of evidence that hint at these four HR 8799 planets forming using this bottom-up approach" said Laurent Pueyo, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute who co-led the work.

"How common is this for long period planets we can directly image? We don't know yet, but we're proposing more Webb observations, inspired by our carbon dioxide diagnostics, to answer that question."

The achievement was made possible by Webb's coronagraphs, which block light from bright stars as happens in a solar eclipse to reveal otherwise hidden worlds. This allowed the team to look for infrared light in wavelengths that reveal specific gases and other atmospheric details.

Targeting the 3-5 micrometer wavelength range, the team found that the four HR 8799 planets contain more heavy elements than previously thought, another hint that they formed in the same way as our solar system's gas giants.

The observations also revealed the first-ever detection of the innermost planet, HR 8799 e, at a wavelength of 4.6 micrometers, and 51 Eridani b at 4.1 micrometers, showcasing Webb's sensitivity in observing faint planets close to bright stars.

In 2022, one of Webb's key observation techniques indirectly detected carbon dioxide in another exoplanet, called WASP-39 b, by tracking how its atmosphere altered starlight when it passed in front of its star.

"This is what scientists have been doing for transiting planets or isolated brown dwarfs since the launch of JWST," Pueyo said.

Rémi Soummer, who directs the Optics Laboratory at the Space Telescope Science Institute and previously led Webb's coronagraph operations, added, "We knew JWST could measure colors of the outer planets in directly imaged systems. We have been waiting for 10 years to confirm that our finely tuned operations of the telescope would also allow us to access the inner planets.

"Now the results are in, and we can do interesting science with it."

The team hopes to use Webb's coronagraphs to analyze more giant planets and compare their composition to theoretical models.

"These giant planets have pretty big implications," Balmer said.

"If you have these huge planets acting like bowling balls running through your solar system, they can either really disrupt, protect, or do a little bit of both to planets like ours, so understanding more about their formation is a crucial step to understanding the formation, survival, and habitability of Earth-like planets in the future."

I have a few questions it's for the "Seven" series

- Do they have encounters with Jesus, and how are they with him. Like how they are around him or how they treat him.

- When they were angels, did they have angel names.

- What do they think of Christianity, or like any kind of beliefs

- Do they follow gender roles of old times?

- What are their feelings about humanity.

- this one is the continuation of Seven, do their lovers have specific ages.

Sorry for asking so many. I'm just really curious about them 😭😭 there's so many things I wanna know about this series since I love it so much, you did a great work writing it and I love the dark theme of it.

I’m sorry it took me so long to answer. 😓 there’s quite a bit below the line. Enjoy!

Edit: @bookofthebee I made edits/additions to the last answer just now. ♥️

1. So I’ve thought about this before and kind of imagined the boys meeting Jesus on separate occasions in his adolescence. I think I drafted an answer for an ask that asked something similar and Subghoons character was the only one, aside from Heelel, that didn’t meet Jesus. sunghoon stood and saw Jesus after he died on the cross and noticed his crown of thorns was on crooked and he fixed it before leaving. Kind of as a sign of respect since he’s the son of their former master.

I can’t remember ever thinking Heelel meeting Jesus because he would have no interest and considering he was disgruntled against his former master, he didn’t care enough to see him. I always imagined the rest of the princes to meet Jesus and inspire/teach him some virtues that ignited him to teach/relay onto humanity. For instance, I once pictured Mammon crossing paths with Jesus, knowing who he was and installed the lesson in “teach a man to fish…”. I also imagined Sunoo’s character talking to Jesus about Mary Magdalene. Essentially, they all treated him with fairness and kindness, while inspiring him to inherit some valuable lessons to pass along to people. Heelel was the only one that didn’t care for him and may have hated him but eventually released all grudges the same time he discovered y/n.

2. So in this particular story, since I tried my best to make it somewhat accurate/relevant to the Bible, I would say yes. they had their original names in accordance with the Bible as angels—in addition to Enhypens real names. They didn’t adapt their current Biblical names until they became the Seven Princes of Hell.

3. When it comes to religion and beliefs, since the boys have been around before humanity existed, they kind of find most of it laughable. They know the facts about God, so a lot of things that is preached by the authoritative figures of the Church are something they just scoffed at. They, along with God, know that humans are imperfect and are meant to be that way. They understand the concept of humanities existence more than anyone so when they peek in and see all types of rituals, practices, or preachings, they just kind of ignore it. If you recall the moments where Heelel has with his y/n, he teaches her the history of the world—the universe, and sets a lot of records straight. In the story, they look at religion as a system of beliefs that was made up by people to make themselves feel closer to God, and find a lot of untruths and corruption within it.

4. The boys are immortal and have an extensive sense of wisdom, foresight, and intuition. I imagined them to see themselves as superior against any man or woman because of who they are—they’re far more superior and dominant beings who are very powerful. When it comes to the outlook on humans, they probably think the gender roles as a silly rule of society since humans, regardless of gender, are all the same to each other. They might see a woman lesser than them and enforce a more submissive role on them not because of her gender, but because she is human and they are royal immortals. To a man, they’ll enslave him just the same. But fortunately they don’t care about that, they just keep to themselves and never really interfere with the growth of humanity.

5. The boys used to detest Gods will in creating mortals. Obviously Heelel was more angry about it. The younger brothers all came to peace with the existence of humanity and gradually found them somewhat interesting. Heelel went from hating humanity to really not having any thoughts about them once he found out about y/n. He no longer hates them but doesn’t really care about them either. He only loves his darling and stopped hating on humanity once he found out that she would later exist.

6. I kind of imagined that each brother would have darlings that are all diverse in age. Some older and some younger, I haven’t thought of the details but I think the oldest would be a 28 single mother that is Jake’s y/n. Jungwons story is actually very unique because he bonded with a minor during the ancient period. She was a 16 year old martyr and was the reason why he developed a fondness for cats. In present time, he’ll meet a young woman in her 20’s that is identical to that girl. That is all I will say to avoid spoiling. Lol. Sunoo’s y/n is a married young woman who is with an abusive husband—she’ll be somewhere in her early to mid 20’s. Niki’s y/n is a young girl in her late teens (maybe 18-19) who dies and becomes an angel in heaven and struggles to accept that she is no longer alive and goes to Earth to watch over her family. Jays y/n is the daughter of a high official that is held captive for ransom—she’ll be about early 20’s. I started Sunghoons story already so you can see about his y/n.

Red-hot musical maturity: Louis Tomlinson in Chile

By Savka Martinic | 25 MAY 2024

Louis Tomlinson, former member of the iconic band One Direction, dazzled Chilean fans with his concert as part of the 'Faith in the Future' tour, offering a show full of emotion, energy and a new, more rock-oriented approach in which has been working in the last few years of his musical career. The audience interaction, immersive graphics and exceptional musicians came together to create a magical night and from the moment Louis took the stage with ‘The Greatest’, it was clear that this was going to be a special evening.

The encounter was a flight through his greatest hits but also an example of the musical maturity he has achieved through this approach that at times nods to iconic bands like 'The Killers' and clear influences of indie rock. This musical progression is also reflected in the level of visual design of the concert, the screens that adorned the stage were not only a complement, but were an extension of the soul of each song where the color red predominated as evidence of the passion and rock vibe that he and his great team sought to capture. This color choice not only intensified the viewing experience, but also resonated with the energy and dynamism of Louis' performances. The light and visual effects were a true spectacle in themselves, elevating the sensory experience of the concert.

Along with this, and recalling the beginnings of his career as a boyband member, Tomlinson's constant interaction with the audience was the beating heart of the concert. Between songs, he shared messages of gratitude and part of the personal and artistic journey he has had in the last 3 years. At various moments during the concert, he stopped to look and interact with his audience, expressing his gratitude for being there and making evident his intention to generate genuine connection despite the magnitude of the stadium that made each person feel part of something special, something bigger than themselves. This type of authentic interaction is what Chilean fans needed to feel and what has also cemented Louis’ relationship with his audience over the years.

Along these lines, fans of the Brit expressed their gratitude with fan actions in songs like 'Kill My Mind' where the flashes of the cell phones in the chorus ignited a meeting that was beginning and that inaugurated the energy that remained high throughout the day. Each interaction elevated those present, creating a unique synergy between the stage and the crowd that did not go unnoticed by the singer, who was visibly excited and grateful.

Along with all the immersive experience that was lived in the stadium, the setlist of the concert was a perfect mix of songs from his solo career and some gems from One Direction. The singer performed 13 songs from the album that gives its name to the tour, 'Faith in the Future', 3 songs from his previous project 'Walls' and 4 covers including memorable hits from the boy band. Songs like 'Night Changes' and 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go' brought a touch of nostalgia and tears among loyal fans, while new songs like 'Bigger Than Me' and 'Out of My System' showed his evolution as artist. The closing with 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go' was the finishing touch to a night that will remain engraved in the memory of all those present.

Now, one of the most notable elements of all for those who have witnessed the different facets of the singer, was the change in Tomlinson's musical approach towards a more rock style, more mature and with much more aesthetic-musical coherence. Louis was accompanied by a group of talented musicians who brought each song to life with their skill and passion. The concert had rockstar vibes portrayed especially during songs like 'Kill My Mind' and 'Walls', where the guitar solos and powerful drums provided a raw and authentic energy that made the entire venue vibrate. In this way, his artistic maturity was also reflected in his musical influences in recent years, where covers of Post Malone's 'Chemical' and Arctic Monkeys' '505' were highlights, showing the versatility of Louis and his band to interpret and make these songs your own.

All in all, Louis Tomlinson's concert in Chile was not only a musical event, it was a transformative experience where red, the talented band that accompanied him, his charisma and the genuine connection with his audience were the protagonists. With 'Faith in the Future', Tomlinson not only demonstrated his prowess as a musician, but also opened a new chapter in his career, defying expectations and captivating hearts with his passion and commitment to authenticity.

Supreme Sorcerer Pope

I recently watched the entirety of Jujutsu Kaisen anime & movie. Overall, it's enjoyable. Yet while watching the heavens suddenly opened up to me as a light came down from the sky, igniting my poor lobotomised brain with knowledge.

The Catholic Church is a front for European sorcerer society

I am not insane; I'm just correct; there's a minor difference. Firstly, tame your expectations, as I am here to shatter minds, not do thorough research. Although there are several indicators to prove I am unequivocally right, the sources include the voice in my head.

✯ A PRIESTS ROLE IN JUJUTSU SOCIETY✯

Let's get this gay once and for all. Both in Japan and in the Catholic Church, there is a clear ranking system ranking all sorcerers from grade 1-4. Must I add that the catholic alpha males underlings (Priests) must undergo insensitive education, what are they learning? Domain expansion.

Church goer — Grade 4

Nun — Window

Priest — Grade 3

Bishop — Grade 2

Cardinal — Grade 1

Pope — Special Grade. Because curses are weaker in Europe, it makes sense the Pope would live so long. When he is killed in battle, the Pope is replaced by another, who then becomes the head of the church and a special grade sorcerer.

Europe is big, so Priests rest after exorcizing curses. Churches are small bases of operation that allow Priests to operate and gather people in once place for a church seminar. Suguru Geto has proven it is affective to use religious fronts to amass curses and rid them. Priests change out every few years/months, the switch indicates they have a new mission.

✯ RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS ✯

In Episode 2 at 12:57 Gojo dumps some tasty exposition and slurping that up we can comprehend that Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College is known to the public as a private religious school to keep a low profile. The location is out of the way and secretive. Only a select few people are allowed in or out. It acts like a hub for Japanese sorcerers. The Vatican state, although not a super sneaky organisation (I'll get to that) is very guarded, while guided tours exist. Only the clergy and the Swiss guard are allowed to reside there which is 764 people, even less have access to the entire facility that's a front for sorcery. It acts like a hub for European sources. Although there are a lot more priests than Japanese sorcerers, priests are low ranking, which reflects on the types of curses they exorcize.

✯PROOF OF CURSED ENERGY IN THE BIBLE✯

In the cool book that is the Bible, it is common for people to hear the voice of God or the Devil, or even see demons. In this case, what the Catholic Church calls demons are just curses.

The Bible doesn’t explicitly tell me about an instance where one person sees a demon while another does not. However, there are parts where people perceive things that may or may not exist, for example; demons, angels, voices appearing to interact with someone. This was before schizophrenia was discovered, so it must be a curse!  In Luke 4:35, Jesus commands a demon to leave a possessed man. The demon recognizes Jesus, but the people around might not have seen the demon itself. Meaning Jesus is a sorcerer, the demon in this case a cursed spirit. In Daniel 10:7, Daniel has a vision of a man, but the men with him do not see the vision. Instead, they are overwhelmed with fear and flee. Some people cannot perceive curses even close to death, while Daniel could. Jesus’ Transfiguration: In Matthew 17:1-9, Peter, James, and John witness Jesus’ transfiguration and see Moses and Elijah talking with Him. The other disciples do not witness this madness. Jesus simply used his curse technique. The last point from this sections is brought to you by today's sponsor gateway.com. Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush… This can be explained simply as a form of cursed energy. Whether or not I'm implying God is a cursed spirit or a jujutsu sorcerer or even a being of faith, It is left up to interpretation and a theory for another day.

✯ HISTORY OF EUROPE✯

Although I haven't researched the fall of the Roman Empire, curses probably had something to do with it. In times of trouble, we turn to the Bible… Which contains many stories that can be linked to sorcery.

The church has a rich history of demons angels; demons, while being fallen angels in the cannon, are actually just curses. Catholic teachings are set up around living a life free of sin and moral teachings, which is an insanely smart excuse to subtly limit negative emotions and normies cursed energy under control. No wonder priests wear dresses, their jobs are so much easier than in Japan. The most compelling form of evidence is just the simple fact exorcisms are still preformed. According to the BBC In 2018, there was a notable increase in the demand for exorcisms, particularly within the Catholic Church. In Italy alone, it was reported that around half a million people sought exorcisms that year. The Vatican even held a special training course for 250 priests from 50 countries to meet this growing demand. To learn how to identify demonic possession, to hear personal accounts from other priests, and to find out more about the rituals behind expelling demons. That just sounds like normal sorcerer business to me… Back to the Bible, we can connect many events that happened in the Bible to cursed energy and curses.

Noah's Ark is a very famous Bible story, how in the seven gates of hell do you fit two of every animal in one boat? Simple, actually, Noah used his cursed technique to create a pocket dimension within the boat.

Although it is known that God sent down the 10 plagues of Egypt. All 10 plagues are just curses sent by God. Water turning into blood, frogs, boils, hail, darkness, and the death of a firstborn… All sound like an average curse activity. Moses has several stories from which he can be proven to be a sorcerer, When the Israelites reached the Red Sea Moses stretched out his hand and the waters divided, allowing his followers safe passage.

Jesus is Europe's equivalent to Tengen-Sama. Jesus died for everyone's sins. It is not a stretch to think he used his cursed energy for this goal — Similar to Tengen's barriers. Jesus would protect all of Europe's Jujutsu Society. This could also explain paying, but then again, what is a pray if not raising a vail? Gojo and Geto clearly recite a mantra before putting up a barrier in Jujutsu Kaisen 0.

Although it is unknown if in the universe of Jujutsu Kaisen if God and Jesus exist as physical beings or strictly as beings of faith, both would be beneficial to humanity. The church and Vatican work to spread their influence and teach God's values, which are often moral laws such as the 10 commandments. Belief in such morals would reduce negative emotions, resulting in weaker and lesser curses. Therefore, the Vatican is a public organisation to spread these teachings. To add onto this, many use God as a source of Hope and happiness, further reducing negative emotions. In conclusion: I will be absolutely burned at the stake for my theory. But just like Jesus, I will die for your sins of being wrong, while I am right.

After I had written this, my friend informed me cursed don't exist outside of Japan in the manga. My honest response is that the Supreme Sorcerer Pope is just superb at his job.

To pilot the R-TRUS, Flayon has to stick his tail, the ignition key, into one of the shields, and transmit himself via electromagnetic waves, as the interior is all digital data. It’s meant for a single user, but the others can be projected as well. 

Flayon and the R-TRUS share a symbiotic relationship, it’s why he’s the only one who is good at it. However, the Elysium government also considers this as a threat, since if he loses his temper and goes rogue, they can’t do anything. Despite needing help from him, they distrust him, which is what Flayon would say, ‘they fear what they can’t get it’. This relationship has been going on since he was young.

Aug 10, 2023,【MACHI Q&A】You Ask Me Questions, I Give You Nothing

Flayon said he was always good with machinery and piloting things but The R-TRUS is the first mech he piloted. No one knows why the R-TRUS was found there, and what they can do with it, but he’s the only one who can use it. The others somewhat can, but not as well as him. He also expressed interest in piloting other things.

Oct 15, 2023, 【SENTIMENTAL DEATH LOOP】#2 GIRL LOVE 【Spoiler Warning】

Flayon experiences an out-of-body experience whenever he goes in and out of the R-TRUS.

Oct 15, 2023, 【SENTIMENTAL DEATH LOOP】#2 GIRL LOVE 【Spoiler Warning】

Flayon uses an interesting example to describe how he and the R-TRUS are one of the same.

MINOR: Oct 28, 2023, 【Your Turn To Die / キミガシネ】I've Been Waiting Forever To Play, NO LONGER

A stream of strange messages from Flayon appears in the chat, begging him to return the Machiroons to him. Eventually he noticed them, got confused and reassured him that he was fine- only for the screen to have a gray filter, and the BGM stopped, as he disappeared. 

However, a more close up Flayon appeared in the middle of the screen, harshly telling the other person in the chat they, the Machiroons, are all his. Everything returned to normal, and he continued to play the game as usual.

Nov 14, 2023, 【FASHION DREAMER】Fashion is life, are you alive?

Flayon’s body suit opens up from the tail back.

Nov 15, 2023

‘R-TRUS doesn’t feel like moving We can just let them be, right? I mean does anyone actually know what happens when these “beasts” get you? What’s wrong with a little corruption?

The Guild is always so busy too.. I can only use the R-TRUS when it’s deemed “necessary” But how many times do we have to play by the rules? I’ve lost count on how many people I could have helped if they trusted me Fine, let the corruption spread I’ll just stick with the Roons

And if they don’t want me Then I really shouldn’t abide by the rules of this world, yeah? I’ll make it suit my needs What’s yours is mine

MINOR: Nov 16, 2023, 【RUNE FACTORY 3】I've Heard This One Is A Fan Fav! [Spoiler Alert]

Flayon dismisses ARMIS’ debut, saying how he’ll use any dirty trick necessary to get the corruption spreading. He puts TEMPUS’ reliability under question and reassures viewers to not worry about the outside world and continue to stay and watch him.

Nov 16, 2023

‘Hmm..’

‘So those are the beasts?’

‘Feels familiar…’

Nov 17, 2023, 【ARMIS DEBUT WATCHALONG】FRIENDS OR FOES? WE WILL FIND OUT! 【DAY 1】

Flayon proclaimed that if he were to go rogue, Shinri would be the one to kill him. He also introduced himself as the R-TRUS’ pilot, but unable to use it as much as the Elysium government deemed it as a war weapon. He confirmed that in order for another person to use the R-TRUS, they’d have to rip the tail out of his spine.

For example, if they’re scared, they become harder to see, and if they’re more grounded, they look more solid. Machiroons look cute because he believes it is fitting of his fans.

8/28/23 - Notes on the Gallery Space

QUOTE: "Systems are a kind of P.R. which, among other things, push the rather odious idea of progress. Progress can be defined as what happens when you eliminate the opposition."

COMMENT:

These two sentences in the reading interested me because they seem almost contradicting at a glance. The author states "systems" (the opposition, the limitations we are confined to in a space) ignite the spark of creativity, allowing us to progress and create new ways of displaying artwork. Yet, the author also states progress is what happens when the opposition is eliminated. To me, the author is saying that innovation occurs when we try to solve a problem, in this case the problem is exhibiting art work in a way that doesn't feel claustrophobic (salon style) or one where the works shown feel out of reach from each other (modern day white cube style). This limitation forces artists to think about how they want their work to be seen by the public eye before even laying down a stroke on their canvas. The display style should also reinforce the concept through all means possible to create a sense artifice between the work shown and the space it exists in.

It's quite the mission, to make something that is technically interesting, conceptually structural, and ingeniously presented. I believe here is where the opposition aforementioned needs to be transformed into a support character. This is where artists collaborate with curators and galleries to create exhibitions that feel genuine, not just a collection of images on a wall with circular colored stickers next to each work. Perhaps a curator could even select a work or series from an artist's portfolio to focus on, designing an environment that would best communicate what the artist is trying to say. I've personally always thought about this, specifically when it comes to digital art.

3. QUESTION: As digital art seems to be a medium on the rise for both commercial (illustration, graphic design) and more artistically expressive types of works, do you think digital artists should make an effort to publicly display (excluding social media) work made with this medium? Or are they better off leaving their work to only exist in cyberspace?

Digital art gets the short end of the stick in my experience. If there isn't some sort of highly advanced, giant, system of displaying the work (think about visuals at music festivals, installations that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of electronics to produce) then the art just feels like a passing ad on a television screen. Being that digital art mostly exists online, or in printed form, this is definitely something I want to figure out because of the love I have for the medium itself. I just really don't like any examples I've seen (so far) of it being presented for the public eye (aside from social media, blogs, and websites).

Understanding Fire Safety: Principles, Practices, and Preparedness

Introduction

Fire safety is a critical component of personal and workplace safety that everyone should understand, regardless of their role or environment.

Understanding Fire Resistance, Durability, and Compliance Standards

Alright, let’s cut to the chase—are PVC cables safe? You’ve probably seen them everywhere: in homes, factories, appliances, even in underground systems. They’re flexible, affordable, and easy to install. But when it comes to safety—especially in situations where fire, moisture, or wear-and-tear are involved—do they actually hold up?

Let’s unpack what goes into the safety side of PVC-insulated cables, so you know exactly what you're dealing with and whether they're the right fit for your setup.

First Up: What Makes PVC Special?

PVC (short for Polyvinyl Chloride) isn’t just some cheap plastic slapped onto a wire. It’s a specially formulated material that's flame-retardant, moisture-resistant, and chemically stable.

That’s why it’s so commonly used in wiring for homes, offices, and even heavy machinery. But not all PVC cables are created equal, which brings us to the three big pillars of cable safety: fire resistance, durability, and compliance.

1. Fire Resistance: Will It Hold Up Under Heat?

This is where PVC shines.

When exposed to heat, PVC cables are engineered to resist catching fire. And if they do ignite, they self-extinguish quickly, meaning the flame doesn’t spread like wildfire through your walls. That’s a massive win for residential and commercial use alike.

And here's a cool bonus—PVC doesn’t release high levels of toxic smoke compared to other materials, especially when you're using low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) variants. Many of the cables offered by Trans Light Electricals are built to these enhanced standards, making them a solid choice for enclosed spaces like malls, offices, or underground installations.

2. Durability: Can It Handle the Pressure?

Absolutely. PVC cables are made to handle a range of tough environments:

Moisture? PVC repels it.

Chemicals? PVC resists most of them.

Sunlight and UV rays? Outdoor-rated PVC cables hold up just fine.

Flexing and bending? They’re built to be pliable without cracking.

The outer sheath of a PVC cable acts like a shield—protecting the core conductor from all sorts of damage. And when you buy from a trusted supplier like Trans Light Electricals, you’re getting cables that are tested for exactly this kind of durability. No cutting corners, no low-grade materials—just solid, tested performance.

3. Compliance Standards: Is It Up to Code?

Now here’s the serious part.

A cable might look good on the outside, but unless it meets international compliance standards, it’s a no-go. Think of these certifications like a background check—they make sure the cable you’re buying won’t fry your system or burn your house down.

Reliable PVC cables meet standards like:

IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)

BS (British Standards)

UL (Underwriters Laboratories)

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)

At Trans Light Electricals, every PVC cable is fully certified and compliant. That means you’re not just buying a wire—you’re buying peace of mind.

So, Are PVC Cables Safe?

Yes—PVC cables are absolutely safe when used correctly and sourced from the right place.

They resist fire. They last long. They meet tough global standards.

The key is making sure you’re buying the right type of PVC cable for your application, and that it’s made by a trusted manufacturer who doesn’t mess around with quality.

And that’s exactly what Trans Light Electricals brings to the table—decades of experience, strict safety checks, and a wide range of PVC cables that are built to perform and protect.

Final Thought

Safety isn’t just about what’s on the label—it’s about what’s inside the cable and the expertise behind it. So, the next time you’re planning a project and wondering what cables to trust with your power and your safety, remember this:

PVC cables are safe—when they’re done right.

And Trans Light Electricals? They do it right, every single time.
