Do you have ideas about Ben's name? I saw idea that it could mean "deep speaking" or something like this

Oh yeah, from benthos and exegesis, right? Honestly it's the best thing I've heard so far and, though I've not looked into the etymology of it, I haven't found anything myself.

I do have some stray thoughts however pertaining to in game things regarding his name.

Like, I think I've talked or alluded to my thoughts about Ben possibly being a previous Fang but idk if I've talked about Red's name: Projekt Red. Like, I think it's fair to say that Red isn't her name and she may not even remember what her name was, effectively making her have none. Say Grandma or Kal'tsit decided to call her by what is on her coat for instance.

But, Fangs raised from an age so young that it's all they've ever known, by ancient Wolfs could end up without a name or possibly with one that's quite outdated as of present. Like I wouldn't claim that Lunacub's name is outdated but it's almost certainly given to her by Agnese and the name is "Moon Cub" or "Moon Child" which, if you're more elaborate could well become "Depth Explanation" if the Ben name theory is correct.

It would fly in the face of Ben's backstory of his Mum sending him to University and I don't see why he'd lie about that but if he didn't have a name I could see Signora Sicily giving him that name as a joke, maybe with a backstory.

Alternatively, Ben as a Fang theory to the side, it may just be a cover as he's Sicily's informant or holds more significance and so using that with a name so blatantly tailored to him could be to hide his actual name.

I also want to ponder it possibly having roots in Greek could be significant. Like, it's probably a joke or Siracusans have Greek names because of irl stuff or there's some unknown connection we've not seen yet (I do hope it's this)

But I stumbled upon some stuff quite some time ago that I thought was interesting and while I don't think it's been referenced in Arknights yet? I did make a mental note of it.

And that's the story of King Lycaon, the Greek story of a King who upon offending Zeus was turned into a wolf and the probable namesake for Lycanthropy(?). There was a whole festival revolving around it that could've ended up in Italy, but point is that it's a prominent story about Wolves and if his name having Greek in it is more than the Depth Explanation joke, could possibly mean there's something to this story pertaining to either him or Siracusa's story going forward.

Which is a more out there thought but throw enough at a wall and eventually something will stick, right? And I'd like to see this story inspire something in Arknights, even if it's only a Minos Lupo (please please please)

But those are my out there thoughts regarding his name. I don't really have any clue regarding the etymology and can only take cracks at any in game significance but I hope it's alright. That and that we see more of Ben.

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

pathetic affirmations (button sets, part 2) by Claire Thompson

simple tutorial on how to make those bottlecap buttons you see everywhere

you'll need:

bottlecap•soda tab•safety pin•pliers•sandpaper/file•paint/paint markers/smth to decorate with•clear nail polish

remove the print on the buttons using a file or the sandpaper

(if you wanna keep the print skip this step, use a cloth to protect the print from scratches when folding down the sides of the cap)

fold down opposing sides of the cap, to help add in the safety pin

bend the tab at a slight angle, insert it into the cap. make sure the side of the safety pin that can not open is the one stuck under the tab

fold down one side of the cap to lock the tab in place, then try and press the tab as flat as you can, to lock the safety pin in place (prevents the buttons from moving on the safety pin, if you like rattling buttons, skip this step)

fold down all other sides of the cap

cover the button in one or more base layers of paint

add ur design (i use paint or paint markers for good coverage and vibrant colors)

cover that in one or two layers of nail polish, it will protect the button from rain and the paint from cracking

thats it, lemme know if you want tutorials on anything else, i like making em.
