Post s2 Loki fic idea

what if Mobius - patient, persistent Mobius - gets tired of letting time pass and goes back to the TVA in order to find a way to get his Loki back. yadda yadda yadda he and OB find a way to loop Yggdrasil's branches to its roots, creating an infinite number of Mobius strips.

In the end, Sylvie is the one to get him, the only one of them with the ability to wade through Loki's currents in Time, and victory is sour on Mobius's tongue, tingling across his palms as he watches her walk back from the rip at the end of time with a loose, unconscious body hoisted over a shoulder.

He collapsed as he disconnected she said.

The power of the lines themselves must have sustained him, OB said.

He's skinner than ever, B-15 said.

Mobius can't tear his eyes away for minutes, hours, days, even in the TVA it seems like an eternity that Mobius waits.

Patiently.

And, when that waiting is over, what if Loki opens his eyes and doesn't remember anything.

What then?

speen spoiler thoughts

do I think sphene is a loathesome character. yes. but she is a wonderful picture of how love can’t save her & Preservation’s ideals from being destructive and frankly evil because the love she bears for her people is predicated on 1. them existing for a predetermined purpose (to be citizens/blood of Alexandria) and 2. her existing for a predetermined purpose (as Her Grace of Alexandria, more iconography than person). as a foil to wuk lamat who is a living leader for a living people, a servant born in their time and can respond to the changes of their time and who will die in their time, she’s eternally anchored to a nostalgic memory/ideal of Alexandria. even the change wrought by death and discomfort has to be erased from all her people and turned into imagery. & I really love how over time, this becomes more and more unsustainable and just how this imbalance is portrayed; first the ideal is created to bring comfort and peace to the living, and now the living are dying to sustain the ideal, robbing both of them of any chance to find purpose in this death loop. the streets of living memory are getting empty and everyone in the tower feels vaguely like they’re missing something important to them.

what really gets me though is like much like Sphene, the other Endless can’t exactly escape their humanity even as just emulations of it. because they are such close copies of the people who once lived, with the sole difference being born with an innate purpose/born without, they’re like….okay with passing on at this point. on both sides of life/death most the people are like yeah I’m glad I got to say goodbye, but I’d just be doing what I always do and always would have done anyway. because I’m me with or without the unlost world. unlike her with a built in drive to preserve Alexandria, they were copied just as-is, as regular people, and they like…don’t care about the false idea of their nation when it no longer serves anyone anymore. and her with her copied love still LOVES and sheds tears for the pain the hypocrisy of her directive brings her.

she’s a character without agency, much like meteion, and while I’ll guess some people will see the “don’t hate her; she was Made Up” thing as a contrived way to garner sympathy for the “person” called Sphene, my thoughts about her DID [low fidelity crunch noise] into something different and more complicated when this was made clear. she’s kind of like, a makima. created to represent an idea that can only be believed in the shape of a human. made to emulate all these human things and to serve a human means without ever being granted the free will and personhood of a human. i’m still early in this section but I hope like meteion through the power of dynamer she’ll escape the narrative or whatever

How to set realistic and attainable goals for yourself using the Be S.M.A.R.T. system

Specific

Be specific about the goals you wish to achieve. We are more likely to accomplish our goals when they are specific rather than vague.

Measurable

Create goals for yourself and measure your progress. This helps you stay disciplined and motivated. It’s important to take a look at how far we’ve made it because sometimes we overlook and dismiss our own progress. Cheer yourself on like you would a friend.

Attainable/Achievable

Set attainable goals yourself, meaning that the goal is within your grasp and achievable by you given your current situation. This allows you to sustain your efforts and resist the urge to “give in.” Lofty goals may only serve to let you down.

Relevant/Realistic

Ask yourself: Why are you setting this goal? This reiterates the previous point. In order for you to successfully achieve your goals, you must be realistic about what you can accomplish and why you desire to accomplish it.

Timely/Time-bound

It helps to give ourselves a time frame, even a loose one, when working to achieve a goal. This keeps us on track and focused, and makes the goal tangible. Don’t rush yourself but don’t give yourself an eternity, either.

🤍Tips and tricks🤍

✅Write down your goals. Studies show that we are far more likely to complete a goal when we write it down or make a list. Do yourself a favor and write down your goals!

✅Create a journal for your goals. This will help you follow the SMART system.

✅Start with small goals and as you overcome those hurdles, you will be more equipped to take on bigger goals. It’s like warming up before a big race— you gotta practice first and stretch out your legs.

✅Consider what resources you have available to you and what your limits are. Remember, there will be factors out of your control.

✅Tell a friend. Share your fears and concerns but also your progress and your victories. Keep them in the loop as you work toward your goal. We are more likely to achieve goals when we tell people about them and receive support.

Setbacks do not erase your progress! Repeat that back to yourself.

Feeling overwhelmed? That’s okay and totally normal. Break down your goal into mini-goals that all lead to the big goal. Day by day, step by step, you will achieve it.

Take a breath, take a break, and remember that tomorrow will grant you a fresh start.

Welcome to Kalen Tries a Life Hack/Brain Hack, brought to you by....well, me.

So certain obvious things are obvious: I’ve been struggling for awhile, the whole being off my meds thing for months cuz of the Adderall shortage hit me HARD, and the number one thing I need to actually build and move forward and get out of eternal debt and accomplishing actual goals is a degree of stability.

I’m eternally grateful for every donation people have given me over the years and its literally kept me alive and off the streets at times. But ebegging sucks, nobody likes doing it, and its not sustainable.

Thing is, I’ve been talking about getting a steady patreon up and running forever but like, there’s always a reason why it doesn’t happen. Part of that is because of the basic nature of how things compound when you lack resources and have issues to address on multiple fronts. New problems demanding my time and attention constantly pop up while adding to stress and affecting my overall mental state and productivity. Part of that is the fact that I am my own worst enemy when in states of high stress, low meds, and minimal resources. 

I get caught in loops where I convince myself that the only way forward or to validate the help I’ve been given or asked is via some big grand production that of course never materializes because haha if I were in a state where I could reliably create the product I want on the timetable I need, most of my problems would take care of themselves. But also I have a tendency to try and pull a former life hack I used to rely on, the whole ‘when my executive dysfunction is particularly bad, use pressure and deadlines to try and force myself to produce’ which y’know....may have worked at previous points in my life but I was in very different places then and bottom line, it just flat out doesn’t work for me now, so it just ends up as overpromising and flaking out with no actual gains to show for it.

So I’m trying a different approach. I’m just putting it out there, this is what it is, and I’m starting small in complete opposition to my usual (and not working) attempts. I’ve opened up a discord for my fics and original projects and am listing the tiers of my patreon below. I’m following this up with complete rundowns of everything I have SOMETHING for, to some degree or another:

1) Teen Wolf fanfics

2) Original fantasy works 

3) Dick Grayson fanfics

4) Original sci-fi works

5) X-Men fanfics

6) Original superhero works (my original superhero universe, the Ellis Eighteen ‘verse) 

I’ll tackle the Teen Wolf stuff following this post, and then try and do the rest one day at a time. That’s the gist of the life hack: just going with the philosophy something is better than nothing. None of these do me any good just sitting on my computer and I’m flat out, literally just never going to reach a stable enough place where I AM just able to complete and release any of them in their complete form, the way I’d like, if I keep overshooting without ending any further along.

So I’m just gonna try building it one day at a time, growing it with the support of people who are interested enough in what there is now to want to see more and help me get more out there, until bit by bit I eventually reach actual completion on some of them.

Any and all of these can be followed up on in my discord server should any catch your eye enough to want to try just a trial’s month - with this next month being much the same for me, as I see how viable this is and how well I’m sticking to it, versus what changes I can make to make it more effective.

My blog isn’t going anywhere, the server is just entirely for fic and original projects and all things related to them, but my usual inanity will persist, I do want to try to get back to writing meta and stuff and being more active in my fandoms, hopefully once I get back on my meds and get a little more grounded.

My existing patterns of posting and interaction aren’t contingent on people donating or joining my discord - I don’t intend for much to change here. And I’m not saying like ‘from now on I’m only posting my writing to my discord’ or anything like that. Its literally just for people who want to help support me while I add to my existing content, are fine with or interested in more of my content even in incomplete stages, are interested in commissioning ‘writing time’ on specific projects of their choice while I do my writing directly in the server....and once I do have a new complete chapter of a fic or complete one-shot, etc....that’ll still get posted for anyone to read. Same as how I still intend to publish or self-publish original projects once they reach completion. 

Its like I said: I just can’t deliver completion in a timely, reliable fashion the way I want, as is, and I can’t make guarantees on when complete projects will materialize without it just ending up more empty promises. THIS I at least can deliver on, and use it to build to something bigger and more complete. *Shrugs* I’d rather get something out there than just continually shifting goalposts about when something will be out here.

SO!

All that said, below are the tiers I’m going with. I literally don’t even have the patreon itself made yet because a) I’ve used ‘I still have to make that’ as an excuse not to do this too many times so I literally just said fuck it and opened up a new post and started typing this instead, lol and b) Patreon does only pay out monthly and not going to lie, could really use donations in the meanwhile as I’m trying to get a new prescription appointment ($180 now thanks to my psychiatrist raising their rates, yay) for different ADHD meds since Adderall still isn’t reliably in stock and they won’t switch my prescription over to something I haven’t tried out yet without a new appointment (and those meds will likely be in the $50-$90 range). 

SO I literally am just posting this now, with my paypal and ko-fi links, but the discord itself is already up if anyone wants to just donate directly and ask for a direct discord link/invite and then I’ll add the link to the actual patreon as soon as its up, but also, if you go the donation route you can try this out and see if its worth it to you this month before actually signing up for the patreon or trying a different tier.

TIERS

1) $1 tier: No rewards offered, I've seen this done by other people who have regular platforms they create content on and don't charge anything so its like a completely opt-in "hey if you just like my blog and content in general, would like to see me be able to make a go of being a creator and support that in general because you think I come up with interesting stuff, this is super helpful and appreciated" thing. I know a lot of people don’t think $1 makes a difference, but literally just $1.39 buys a thing of pasta that can feed me for two days if need be, and a couple more bucks from someone else gets some sauce, lol. Trust me, if you’re ever like “I’d like to support him but only have an extra buck or two and don’t know if that would make a difference” - it does, and is still super appreciated!

2) $5 tier: As stated, I’ve set up a discord where anyone can start threads for literally any of my fanworks, Teen Wolf, Dick Grayson, and X-Men, and ask what I have available as is on that particular project, pick my brain about it, engage me on it in the hopes it leads to me dedicating my next writing session to it if I’m not already planning to write something else in specific, etc. This tier gives people access to it, so they can see the stuff I don't have published or released because its not finished yet, or I’ve written parts non-linearly, and there’s a specific scene they were hoping to see in the fic later on and wondered if that’s written yet, etc. Plus this is where I’ll do all my fanfic writing sessions when I am actively working on a new chapter or something, because I LIKE to write in real-time on things like discord (I used to write fic in a messenger app with Moukie. I didn’t even need them reading it or responding, just knowing someone was 'there' made it easier for me to write, just makes it easier to shut up and write or get the words to come). 

So I figure might as well try and make it a two-fer: for five bucks people can get access to stuff that might not be finished yet (or even ever) but still could be interesting or enjoyable to them, but also can read along as I work on stuff that I'm actively trying to update, even if I still end up with more to go in that chapter or fic and thus its not ready to update yet by the end of a writing session

3) $10 tier: Exact same thing as the $5 tier, which is also included with this one, but this one also gives access to the separate forum I’ve opened up for my various original projects I'm working on or at least started/got a sizable dent into even if they ended up discarded (at least for now). Again, this one is primarily for people who want to support me in general, free up time from constantly stressing about being able to afford food and meds and wasting so much time looking for more freelance opportunities or work - which basically doubles the amount of time I spend ‘working’ every day without anything to show for most of it. This allows for more writing time in general, but at least comes with something to show for it, and like, I figure anyone who genuinely thinks 'hey I think this guy can write/would buy his book' could find something to interest them in here, especially since it also includes the same 'read-along' option for my literal WIPs when I’m doing a writing session on one of them.

4) $15 tier: Both previous tiers are included, but with this tier people also get the option of picking a story from any of the fandom or original projects I have up on my server, and making it the focus of one of my writing sessions that month. They can do it either as a prompt "hey would like if you dedicated one of your writing sessions to working on this particular project this month, whenever that happens to be" or if they want, they can try and coordinate a time for that writing session, as in I’d go "these are the hours I typically do my writing these days, pick when you'd like to see me work on this story," either cuz they'd like to read along, or its earlier in the month, or like, they have that day off and thus its a good day for re-reading that project or maybe getting an update on it, etc. 

Typically, my writing sessions tend to be at least an hour, anywhere up to around six hours, so this tier guarantees that at least one hour of writing time that month would be focused on a particular project. But as much as I hop around between projects in general, I don't switch between projects in the same single writing session, so practically speaking, it would likely be more than just a single hour, and could even result in an entire chapter update on chaptered works. I just know I can guarantee the hour, whereas I can’t guarantee 'oh this will for sure be a five hour writing session' and thus I went somewhat higher than like, a wage for an hour's work, but not like, super high? As I figure its more likely to land somewhere in the middle, length of time-wise. But also, depending on how this actually goes this first month, I might end up adjusting my approach to this tier or the price level, etc.

5) $25 tier: This one includes all the same access and rewards provided by the lesser tiers as well, but with the additional reward that in addition to getting to set the agenda for one writing session that month, you get to also set that same project or a different one as a 'boosted priority' for the month. What this means is - in the interests of maximizing the gains of having people thwart my indecisiveness over what to work on, lol - whatever you pick here will go on a shortlist of projects that are my go-to's for the month, any time I have a writing session I don't already have a prompt for, or a personal desire to focus on a certain project. 

Basically, its a way of creating my short list of 'To Turn To In Case of Indecisiveness' any time I am being stalled by indecisiveness, rather than other external issues, and any 'prompted' writing sessions are already scheduled or used up. So this one comes with caveats....I want to make it clear that 'how much' people get out of this one is NOT something i can guarantee, as it'll depend on how many writing sessions I can squeeze in that month overall, whether or not I have a particular project that's on the brain enough that I'm going to it regularly, just based on my own choice/momentum, stuff like that. 

But the plus side of this one is if the $15 tier is of interest to people, and its worth it to get to be able to ask for several hours' worth of productivity/output on a particular story of mine.....this tier potentially replicates that same thing multiple times throughout a month and can lead to a lot of progress on a certain single story. So potentially, way more bang for your buck. It is more of a crapshoot, but worst case scenario, you're still likely to get at least two writing sessions geared towards a story you're interested in, for less than double the cost of your patronage of one writing session...but best case scenario, in a month where I don't have a ton of other pressing projects demanding my attention, this could keep me engaged with your project of choice regularly throughout the month, with the increased output to show for it. 

Either way, people are still likely to end up with way more output of their choice/liking due to this than they ever would have if I were just sitting in front of my computer playing 'how much time can I waste doing nothing productive while claiming its just cuz I need to Make The Right Choice of what project to be productive on.'

All that said:

I'm focusing just on time rather than length/word count at the moment just because mentally its a lot easier/less stressful for me to think 'oh I know for sure I can make sure they receive the time I guaranteed I'd focus/devote to this in exchange for their patronage' because its a lot easier for me to just show up and start writing than it is for me to look at a set length of fic I need to complete within a certain timeframe - as the latter is a lot more likely to suck me into one of my weird spirals where completion becomes the enemy of productivity.

Anyway.

I think that’s everything, thank you as always for hearing me out and your consideration even if you don’t end up giving this a whirl. No expectations here, I have no idea how well or not it might work out, but its something new to try because previous approaches just aren’t working but I’m not throwing in the towel, just.....reconfiguring for a new run at achieving some long-term stability and productivity. This at least is a lot more geared towards navigating around my particular issues with my ADHD and executive dysfunction and finding a way to hack them even when I’m not on meds. So, let this experiment begin I guess? LOL. The end.

And again, if you want to go ahead and give one of these tiers a try via a donation, you can hit me up directly for a discord invite, or if you prefer more anonymity/distance, you can just wait for the patreon with a more automated/streamlined process. You can also upgrade to a different tier later of course, and let me know if you have specific questions.

Thank you again!

What is drone music?

Drone music is a subgenre of experimental music that emphasizes the use of sustained or repeated sounds, often created by electronic means, to create a sense of drone or a hypnotic atmosphere. It can also refer to music that incorporates the use of drones, such as traditional music from certain cultures that use instruments such as the didgeridoo.

Where does it come from?

The origins of drone music can be traced back to the work of experimental composers in the 1960s, such as La Monte Young, Tony Conrad, and Terry Riley. These composers were influenced by various forms of experimental music, including minimalism, and sought to create music that was based on sustained or repeated sounds, often created by electronic means. They sought to create a sense of drone or a hypnotic atmosphere in their music, which led to the development of the drone music genre.

In the early days of drone music, it was primarily an avant-garde and experimental form of music, performed live in galleries and other alternative spaces. With the development of technology, it became possible to create and record drone music using electronic means, which led to the genre becoming more widely available to audiences.

Does the genre still exist today?

Yes, the drone music genre still exists today, although it has evolved and expanded over time. Today, drone music encompasses a wide range of styles and subgenres, including ambient drone, experimental drone, noise drone, minimal drone and more. Many contemporary musicians and composers continue to create new works within the genre, and there are also many festivals and events that are dedicated to drone music.

Technology has also played a role in the evolution and continuation of the genre, as it has made it easier for musicians to create and record drone-based music, and to share it with audiences through online platforms. This has led to an increase in the number of musicians and composers who are working within the genre, and has also made it more accessible to audiences around the world.

Additionally, the use of drones in music has also evolved. Drones are not only created by electronic means, but also by using live instruments, like guitar, saxophone, or by using voice. This has led to the genre becoming more diverse and inclusive.

Overall, the drone music genre continues to evolve and grow, and it remains a vital and active part of the experimental and avant-garde music scene.

Who are the famous artists from this genre?

Some famous drone music artists include:

La Monte Young, who is considered to be one of the pioneers of the genre and whose work in the 1960s laid the foundation for drone music.

Éliane Radigue

Tony Conrad, an experimental filmmaker and musician who collaborated with Young and was a member of the Theater of Eternal Music ensemble.

Brian Eno, a British musician and producer who has experimented with drone music in his solo work and with his band, Harold Budd.

Tim Hecker, a Canadian electronic musician who has released a number of albums featuring drone-based compositions.

Grouper, an American ambient and drone artist.

William Basinski, an American composer and sound artist known for his use of tape loops, found footage and field recordings in his drone-based compositions.

Fripp and Eno, a musical partnership between Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, known for their album Evening Star which is considered a classic of ambient and drone music.

Stars of the Lid, an American drone band and known for their album "The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid" which is considered a classic of the genre.

This is just a small sampling, there are many other artists who are known for their work in the drone music genre.

What is its influence in other art forms?

Traditional music from certain cultures, such as Indian classical music and the music of some indigenous peoples, also use drones and have an influence on the genre.

Drone music has evolved over time, and today it encompasses a wide range of styles and subgenres, including ambient drone, experimental drone, and noise drone.

Drone music has had an influence on a variety of other art forms, including:

Film: Drone music has been used in film soundtracks to create a sense of atmosphere or to underscore a particular mood or emotion. Film directors such as David Lynch and Terrence Malick have used drone music in their films to great effect.

Visual art: Drone music has been used as a soundtrack for visual art installations, and some visual artists have even created art that is specifically designed to be experienced in conjunction with drone music.

Dance: Drone music has been used as a soundtrack for modern dance performances, and some choreographers have created dance pieces that are specifically designed to be performed to drone music.

Literature: Drone music has been used as an inspiration for some poets and writers, and some authors have even created works of fiction that are specifically designed to be experienced in conjunction with drone music.

Performance art: Drone music has been used as a soundtrack for performance art pieces, and some performance artists have created pieces that are specifically designed to be performed to drone music.

In addition, the influence of drone music can be seen in other genres of music, such as ambient, experimental, and electronic music. The use of sustained or repeated sounds, often created by electronic means, can be found in many other musical genres, and some musicians have been influenced by drone music to incorporate these elements into their own music.

Overall, drone music has had a wide-reaching impact on the art world, inspiring and influencing a variety of other art forms.

If I had to listen to only one album?

Choosing only one album from the drone genre to recommend can be challenging as there are many great albums to choose from, but if you are looking for a classic and highly regarded album, I would recommend "The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid" by Stars of the Lid. This album is considered a classic of the genre and is widely considered one of the best drone music albums of all time.

The album is a concept album that was recorded over a period of six years, and it features a number of long, slowly evolving compositions that are characterized by their rich textures, deep drones, and ethereal melodies. The album creates a sense of emotional depth and introspection, drawing the listener into a hypnotic, dreamlike state.

It's worth noting that the drone genre is very vast and diverse, so it's possible that you might not like this particular album, but it's still considered a classic and a great starting point to understand the genre.

Some other great drone albums worth mentioning are "Music for Airports" by Brian Eno, "The Pearl" by Harold Budd, "Transfiguration" by William Basinski, "An Imaginary Country" by Tim Hecker or “DAIKAN” by Thomas Köner.

This alignment of celestial entities extends beyond their astronomical importance, profoundly symbolizing the profound correlation between your personal microcosm and the vast macrocosm of the universe.

As you walk the path of spiritual mastery, the notion of divine union takes on a deeper resonance. It is not merely a merging with the cosmic whole but a recognition of the divinity within every atom of creation. The enlightened humanity you strive to become is a vessel of divine consciousness, a conduit through which the cosmic energies flow. In this state of union, the boundaries between self and other dissolve, and you realize that the journey of ascension is not a solitary endeavor but a collective awakening.

As you navigate through the maze of your own consciousness, bear in mind that the growth of consciousness is akin to a ceaseless upward spiral towards elevated awareness states. Your journey, a mystical tapestry, is interlaced with fine, golden threads of divine essence, using the celestial chart of astrological and energetic forecasts as your guide. It is in the sacred assemblies of like-minded individuals where you not only find companionship, but also reflections of the timeless truths dwelling in your soul. The alchemy of healing, together with the activations experienced along the path, catapult you towards realizing the divine union and the personification of enlightened humanity. This transformative voyage designates you not merely as a seeker, but as a pilgrim, consciously and gracefully treading the path under the guidance of Shekinah Ma and Sanandaji, towards the luminous horizon of spiritual mastery.

Recycling and reuse: levers for accelerating the circular economy

Reuse and recycling loops are more and more often the result of cooperation at the local level. These circular economy solutions continue to progress.

The French government decided at the end of September that the deposit of plastic bottles will not be compulsory. This will remain voluntary as long as it does not generate “the full support that we need”, assured the Minister of Ecological Transition, Christophe Béchu. Nevertheless, recycling and reuse are on an accelerating path, as proven by the growing presence of the circular economy within the regulatory arsenal: the principle of extended producer responsibility[1], the recently by the French Parliament adopted “green industry” law[2], or the Agec law,[3] requiring that 10% of packaging placed on the market in 2027 comes from reuse. Without forgetting that the environmental awareness of economic players continues to progress, here under pressure from the legislator or the consumer, there because these new models assure, in the long term, the sustainability of their activities.

Above all, solutions enabling the extension of the lifespan of products exist, and respond to multiple challenges in terms of design, production, collection, supply, distribution... for the good reason that these initiatives are the result of co-construction by all stakeholders. “Partnership approaches between manufacturers, distributors, recyclers and other eco-organisations have existed for a long time: what is new is that they are more systemic with a view to pooling resources and standardising the processes intended for the implementation place recycling and reuse loops,” observes Romain Launay, director of the consulting firm Kéa[4], where he is responsible for circular economy issues.

Speak with a common voice

Eléonore Blondeau, project manager at Eternity Systems[5], a Perpignan family ETI[6] specialising in the collection, washing, repair and storage of packaging, that has a turnover of 110 million euros, is also convinced that, "for breaking the barriers and switch scale, we must bring industrialists, institutions, teacher-researchers and other reuse experts around the table.” And to specify that Eternity Systems has been involved, since its creation thirty years ago, in various consortia, including the Réseau Vrac et Réemploi[7] (Bulk and Re-use Network), and the Perifem federation of distributors[8].

The Story: Depositing plastic bottles - the wrong idea for the planet?

Also among them, the New European Reuse Alliance[9] and the Buddie-Pack project[10] of the IPC[11] (Industrial Technical Centre for Plastic Innovation) promote the reuse of plastic packaging.

Furthermore, always with the aim of “speaking with a common voice”, but also to support the smallest structures towards this change, Eléonore Blondeau is at the origin of the Collectif Startups Industrielles France (CSI France)[12], an association of more than 180 members who launched an accelerator dedicated to young industrial start-ups wishing to pivot towards a circular model.

Actions carried out at local level

Whether within CSI France or within the framework of Eternity Systems' activities, Eléonore Blondeau also notes the importance of actions carried out at the local scale, "in particular to limit the kilometres travelled", she says. Hence the territorial network of Eternity Systems, which has 17 reuse centres in Europe and North America.

Recalling that transport can represent “15 to 30% of the costs of the return loop of reuse”, Romain Launay also insists on the need to provide infrastructure to all territories. However, he emphasises that, "without massification, sorting and washing will maintain high unit costs which hamper the competitiveness of reuse compared to single use, so we must ensure that each centre created has the necessary volumes".

User-centred approach

Another element making the territorial anchoring of actions carried out in favour of reuse and recycling essential, the end user only adopts new actions if they make sense in their daily life. “The more we narrow the scale of reflection, decision and application, the more it becomes important to grasp  the specificity of the population, hence the importance of consulting and testing solutions in the field,” points out Emilie Guichard, doctoral student at the Centre for Research on Cognition and Learning (CeRCA)[13] at the University of Poitiers, whose thesis focuses on understanding the behaviour of sorting food waste.

• MT Systems: secondary and tertiary packaging (crates, hoppers, pallets) in the food industry => 720 million units washed/year;

• Industrial Packaging Service: secondary and tertiary packaging (crates, bins, silos, boxes, pallets) to make all supply chains zero waste (cosmetics, e-commerce, automotive…) and replace the use of disposable boxes, disposable films, disposable trays, etc.

• Consumer Packaging Service: primary containers, in particular in glass, stainless steel or plastic (cups, bottles, jars, food containers, catering tray) in retail, commercial & collective restaurants, events for the food industry, cosmetics and detergents .

We are present in Europe (France, Germany, Spain, Portugal) and North America (USA, Canada). We have also developed an endurance offer with 2 laboratories dedicated to experimentation and endurance to reuse in France. Finally, we also offer storage and logistics services in all the countries where we are present. ETERNITY SYSTEMS enjoys a central position within a circular ecosystem bringing together producers, retailers and suppliers of reusable packaging. The development of this ecosystem, which replaces the classic disposable packaging in supply chain (cardboard, wood, polystyrene) and consumption (cups, food boxes, bottles, jars, food trays) makes it possible to meet public health requirements (decontamination of containers), to reduce waste, and to respond the logistics automation ambition of actors across all industries. https://www.eternity-systems.com/qui-sommes-nous/

Here are some tips for creating an effective dark comedy that takes place in hell:

Use absurdity and irony. Hell is an inherently absurd concept, so take illogical premises to their extreme for dark humorous effect. ironic twists work well too.

Explore taboo topics. Hell gives the freedom to explore dark urges, sexuality, violence and other edgy themes in an exaggerated way. Lean into these for shock value.

Create colorful, flawed characters. The denizens of hell likely won't be wholly evil; give them depth via sympathetic backstories, moral contradictions, etc. Complex characters allow for more nuanced comedy.

Use exaggerated physical comedy. Hellish injuries and violence can be taken to silly extremes. Creative use of blood, gore, demons, torture devices, etc. can heighten the dark humor.

Employ cynical, dry wit and tone. Gallows humor and biting sarcasm work well for dark comedies. One-liners, cutting remarks and dismissive attitudes all fit the hellish setting.

Contrast gross/crude humor with more sophisticated jokes. Mix intelligent wordplay and high-brow references with low-brow, profane humor for tonal dissonance.

Break taboos but stay grounded in characters. Shock value alone won't sustain laughs. The comedy should stem from the flawed but relatable characters and their reactions to the absurd hellscape.

Use visual motifs and stylized editing. A hellish atmosphere can be accentuated with specific colors, wardrobe, music, lighting, skewed camera angles, choppy cuts, etc.

Make hell a bureaucracy. Having demons navigate hellish bureaucracy complete with paperwork, rules, and incompetent management can lend itself to dry, absurdist humor.

Play with time. Given hell is eternal, time could work differently. Jokes can be made about characters experiences being repetitive, being stuck in loops, not remembering how long they've been there.

Go for occult subversion. Take typical portrayals of demons, possessions, and rituals and give them a comedic spin.

Explore flawed sinner archetypes. The greed of a ruthless CEO, gluttony of an overeater, wrath of a hothead - have recognizable sinful archetypes play against expectations.

Give the setting a grimy, lived-in feel. Portray hell as a run-down, graffitied, seedy place that's been around forever and feels past its prime.

Include power struggles and satirical commentary. Demon lords vying for status and backstabbing allows for incisive satire on politics and society.

Contrast irreverent characters with the dire setting. Having obliviously upbeat characters bounced against the harsh realities of hell can work comedically.

Use cringe humor. Awkward, embarrassing situations are ripe for comedy and feel right at home in a hellish social setting.

The key is maintaining a balance - go far enough into the dark/absurd side for it to be humorously exaggerated, but still maintain some grounding in relatable characters and storytelling.

Listed: Buck Curran

Steel strings course through Buck Curran’s blood: he is both a guitarist and a luthier. Rising to prominence in the northeastern American psychedelic folk scene, first with his band Arborea and then solo, Curran is steeped in his country’s blues-influenced folk heritage. Recently, he performed an about-face and released Delights and Dangers of Ambiguity, a collection of improvisations that he describes as “improvised dissertations on dissonance & sustain (experimental, drone and modal explorations for piano and guitar).” In his review of the album, Bryon Hayes noticed that “there is a tie that binds these tunes to Curran’s overall oeuvre: a focus on resonance. Throughout his career, [he] explores ways of extending a note’s sonic envelope via extended techniques.” Curran also recently compiled a 22-track tribute to Steffan-Basho Junghans, which Jennifer Kelly reviewed here.

For this Listed, Curran runs down some recordings and writings from which he draws inspiration for his sonic explorations.

Blind Willie Johnson — Dark Was the Night Cold Was the Ground (1927)

I believe this is one of the most important recordings ever made, and there is a great reason why this recording made it onboard the space probe Voyager 1. I imagine it now: Blind Willie Johnson's deep plaintive voice and haunting slide playing on an endless loop as it hurtles out into the open void of deep space; a memory carried on a tiny metal seed...used as a kind of beacon of hope and promise for all life on earth. For certain it represents (along with folk music from Japan, the Navajo tribe, Bach, Beethoven, etc.) significant music made by the human race. The recording echoes the eternal loneliness that is such a big part of human nature and of our thoughts towards the silence and darkness of the cosmos itself. But in its moaning sadness, I feel it yearns always as a steady glowing light of hope.

The Wikipedia entry says this about the song: In 1977, Carl Sagan and other researchers collected sounds and images from planet Earth to send on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. The Voyager Golden Record includes recordings of frogs, crickets, volcanoes, a human heartbeat, laughter, greetings in 55 languages, and 27 pieces of music. "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" was included, according to Timothy Ferris, because “Johnson’s song concerns a situation he faced many times: nightfall with no place to sleep. Since humans appeared on Earth, the shroud of night has yet to fall without touching a man or woman in the same plight.”

Sinead O'Connor — The Lion and The Cobra (1987)

Sinead has been an inspiration for most of my life. In the late 1990s, I was fortunate to see her perform outdoors in Portland, Oregon. I stood in the front next to the barricade and her voice was just otherworldly: intense, emotional, and visceral in a way I've never heard before. It was powerful and transformational, and the siren-like timbres physically penetrated my body. She wrote and recorded these songs as a young woman pregnant with her first child. Songs like “Jackie” and “Troy” embody the spirit of the album and sound the many internal and external struggles of life.

Camaron de la Isla — Seguiriyas (circa 1980s)

Camaron de la Isla is one of my very favorite singers. His work with both Paco Delucia and Tomatito is essential listening. This film of Camaron singing a Seguiriya is so incredibly emotive and beautiful and cuts straight to my heart giving me such joy. As described here, a “Seguiriya” is one of the oldest flamenco styles. The oldest evidence of this flamenco style is found in the late 18th century, even though its origin is still uncertain. “Seguiriya” derived from primitive “tonás,” being created between Seville and Cadiz, los Puertos, Jerez and Triana neighborhoods. As singing, it has a tragic and gloomy character, enclosing the main values of what is known as “cante hondo.” Lyrics are painful, tragic, about human relationships, love, and death.

Pandit Nikhil Banerjee — Raga Chandra Kaushiki: Live at Dover Lane Music Conference, Kolkata (1977)

This deeply passionate performance by sitarist Pandit Nikhil Banerjee simply transcends time and space, and shimmers with the radiance of the Cosmos. Banerjee is among the best musicians I have ever heard. His tone is sweet and incredibly emotive. His technique absolutely masterful. He is accompanied on tablas by the Great Ustad Zakir Hussain.

Cinder Well — Live at Abbeydale Picture House (Songs from the album 'No Summer' 2020)

Along with the Gillian Welch albums Hell Among the Yearlings and Time (The Revelator) as well as various albums by Sandy Denny, June Tabor, and Karen Dalton, Amelia Baker's album No Summer is listed among my very favorite contemporary folk albums. This plaintive and beautiful live session features songs from No Summer. This session was perfectly documented (audio as well as video) in a historic movie house in Sheffield, England. During the songs “Old Enough” and “From Behind the Curtain,” Amelia is subtly and beautifully accompanied by Jim Ghedi and GBH.

Robbie Basho — Zarthus (1974)

My favorite album made by Robbie Basho. Thematically, it was deeply influenced by his spiritual guru Meher Baba and his fascination and love for Persian culture. Highlights on this album include his playing on 12 string guitar and piano. “Kahlil Gibran” is among my favorite of Basho’s songs that features him singing. I also highly recommend listening to Basho’s “Lost Lagoon Suite” from Falconer's Arm II (1967) and the album Song of the Stallion (1971).

Dylan Thomas — Deaths and Entrances (1946)

Deaths and Entrances is a volume of poetry by Dylan Thomas, first published in 1946. Many of the poems in this collection deal with the effects of World War II, which had ended only a year earlier. I first discovered Dylan Thomas’ poetry as a teenager when reading the anthology of poetry Immortal Poems. Along with the books Ariel by Sylvia Plath, and various poems by John Keats, Dylan’s poetry seems to transcend written word and takes me to another place.

Martin Simpson — Leaves of Life (1989)

The first acoustic guitar instrumental record that made a huge impact on me. Martin creates a dynamic world of sound with his virtuosity and the use of several unique and responsive hand-built acoustic guitars. Leaves of Life is an album of instrumental guitar arrangements of traditional ballads from the British Isles, many of which he learned from vocal airs. It’s an album that’s steeped in a dark, mysterious mood, and songs like “Green Fields of America” are otherworldly. His slide playing and command over the dynamics of single-note passages (and use of guitar overtones) are a great influence on my playing. The complex voices of the guitars he used on this album influenced me to build my own acoustic guitars.

Michael Hedges — The Naked Stalk (1991)

Michael Hedges was a true innovator of the acoustic guitar. “The Naked Stalk” is a deeply contemplative and beautiful piece of music, and along with his guitar instrumental “The Happy Couple” (from the Breakfast in the Field album, released in 1981), it is one of my very favorite guitar recordings.

Tommy Jarrell and Fred Cockerham — Live (1971, filmed by Blanton Owen)

I love the primordial American folk music from Round Peak, North Carolina. I hear the roots of Scotland and Ireland in this music and it moves me deeply. Tommy Jarrell and Fred Cockerham were among the finest players in this genre, and this intimate concert (filmed on Cockerham's front porch in Low Gap, North Carolina) is a vital and amazing archive. Also of interest is Cockerham’s fretless banjo made by fellow musician Kyle Creed. The fretless fretboard of this banjo was made with a sheet of Formica. This banjo now resides in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

Neil Young — In Concert at BBC (1971)

I absolutely love Neil Young’s live solo recordings. This live BBC concert from 1971 is a perfect example of the magic that can be made with just a handful of songs, voice and acoustic guitar. Other brilliant recordings performed in this fashion include Live at Massey Hall 1971 and Carnegie Hall 1970. All are favorite recordings that are utterly perfect. Neil Young, along with Bert Jansch and Tim Buckley (especially Goodbye and Hellofrom 1967), exists artistically in a realm that has inspired and influenced my own music. “Don't Let it Bring You Down” is my favorite Neil Young song, and I love his performance of it in this session.

Sora Kingdom Hearts is literal/Sora has main character syndrome (i.e. only his choices matter)

aka

Sora is, will be, and always has been Master of Masters

Some background & initial ideas/explanations: 

[[Key blades are High Pass Filters that judge the worth of souls and eliminate souls/hearts for power. That judging can be based on (good vs bad, importance of choices, weak vs strong, etc.) whatever the wielder deems necessary, albeit it may be subconsciously) 

[high pass filters only allow high enough frequencies to pass, turning a very slow upward slope to Kingdom Hearts created by millions of Hearts returning, into a very sharp jump between planes (i.e. the portal)]

Ex: when a heart is freed from a heartless, the keyblade vaporizes the darkness for power.

There is only one Kingdom Hearts, it’s just on a different plane and you see it through different frequencies (which is how you get different colors/different forms) The ‘true’ Kingdom Hearts is simply breaking through the final layer of reality to see it. The Door in KH1 means that the portal created to access Kingdom hearts is very close to their reality/it's not very powerful/useful from their standpoint, so it shows itself as a door bc it is most feasible to them.

In this case, the KEYblade is the ultimate High Pass Filter, only allowing very Light and Powerful hearts through to the Kingdom Hearts, creating a portal to pass people/hearts up to the plane where Kingdom Hearts rests. All other hearts that lack light/power/sentience are vaporized to accomplish this.]]

Now the big idea:

Sora is the same across all instances of time. Sora *is* Master of Masters

From the very ‘beginning’ he is predisposed to absorbing light/hearts, like there is no way to completely fill him up.

& ‘Master of Masters’ as a title, exists beyond the general flow of time. I.e. Even when Sora is ‘Sora’ his existence/being is still affected by and affecting the other instances/versions of himself.

Because of his circular existence, Sora is able to guide reality based off of his own perceptions, due to his power and connection to how reality works/Kingdom Hearts.

At the end of KH1, Sora uses a Keyblade to split himself into his darkness(heartless) and body(Roxas) [Ventus goes with Roxas to give him a Light] The power to sustain the splitting and freeing of Kairi is Sora’s Light. (Here he is separated from his body for the 1st time)

Then he is put back together, now with no light, but he still *thinks* he does/should so his power creates almost an artificial light within him only powered by his perception.

Wow sora sure has a lot of doubts about how good/worthy he is (almost like his subconscious knows something that he can’t bear to think about)

Later, after KH3 (having been split from his body again during the death/timeline rewind thing), Master of Masters grabs Sora and hooks him up to the Black Box, which contains thousands of Wielders’ hearts and sets off a chain reaction where Sora’s Darkness overcompensates and turns him into a Dark Kingdom Hearts.

(Which, again, is just a collection of darkness that exists on another plane of existence)

Since he is now linked to the Darkness of the universe, he starts absorbing the Darkness and getting rid of the Heartless. (At his core, Sora is still empty/prone to absorbing light/dark/hearts around him)

To avoid Sora’s death or alteration of what he is & will be, MoM locks him a fictional alternate world and time loop to fight Yozora for eternity and sustain the fictional world with the Dark Kingdom Hearts within him.

Over time, he loses his sanity and perception of the ‘light’ he holds, turning him into a darkside that attacks when Kairi and Riku try to ‘free’ him. (All he knows at this point is the need to protect, and that he cannot leave this place, or else he will bring untold destruction)

When they save him and try to remove the excess darkness in him until he is balanced, his levels fall to almost nothing because he has no light at all now.

Eventually, filled with no light or darkness, barely connected to the body he’s been separated from so many times, he turns into Master of Masters.

Alll MoM knows is the responsibility to protect.

His existence, his friends, and the current timeline (which he knows will continually loop because points of time all exist simultaneously.

Master of Masters will do whatever is necessary to sustain the current timeline.

Some additional Proof?:

Whenever Sora tries to make key chains, they turn into bastardized versions of the KEYblade, like he could be nothing else but what he is.

“You started out as trying to steal hearts to begin with, and you’ll end up as me, who is nothing at all”

Also:

At the end of KH1, the bare bit of Sora’s light that survived the experience left Sora due to the betrayal between soul and light and sheltered within Riku. The fake light that Sora has is based in/on Kairi’s heart of light. Master of Masters despises being near Riku because it feels like his soul, barely connected, is trying to leave and reconnect with the light within Riku that was once his.

Y'all like your deities with or without the shell?

Under the readmore is aaaaaaaaall color god observations and musings based on them, because I am studying to become the world's Premiere Chromatheologian and RGB Understander so under the cut is pretty much Oops! All Spoilers! up to the most recent episode of season 3.

Apparently Universal Color God Attributes:

Damage to their domain hurts them, but fixing the issue, or lashing out by using their powers destructively, can help them to repair the damage.

If they sustain enough damage, it can temporarily paralyze them and send them into a strengthened but 'exposed' state (chartreuse's spirit activation in the last fight of 19) and further damage after that will activate a failsafe, which is unique by domain but seemingly designed to give them the chance to balance things, but can get… very out of hand or backfire depending on circumstances. (see: cobalt’s failsafe sending mark's universe into a never-ending apocalyptic war because word of the cure for death became too widespread for the killing urge failsafe to affectively balance anything because every side could simply revive their fallen.)

Chartreuse's failsafe is something of a stopped time bubble quarantine where processes that require the passing of time cannot complete, allowing her the time to wear down the offending party to beat them to death or plan around finishing them.

Cobalt's is inciting war, the casualties serving to balance the scale. I'm not sure we know Crimson's yet- he's never taken enough direct damage without doing damage to compensate in order to trigger it, although i dont remember season one well enough to recall if any of the universe stuff in it tracks with the pattern bc season one is a bit fucky

Connected in a fashion that allows them to simply Sense the overall status of the others to some extent, although they don't know Why theyre in the state theyre in without asking (chartreuse [and by extension, folk, presumably on her information] confronting crimson via crimsonaut for pretending to be dead, Cobalt confronting both his siblings about how they are handling their duties improperly but not knowing about Folk. He knew about the constants deaths because hes a death god, duh, but he didnt use their names like crimson did, possibly implying they're erased upon death so thoroughly that only crimson and the constants can really recall a shattered constants' existence, not even the other guardians.)

Abilities of the guardians can be replicated by mortals through three apparent methods- through machines (dimensional bus, the time machine, presumably J0hn's part in Sephiroth's resurrection,) simply through advanced enough individual skill (Home MD curing death, potentially Dantoinette's universe portal travel, maybe Genwun's sped up time bubble that evolved them into Genfour? although that could very well have just been an illusion and theyre just like, a fuckin theater kid that was doing pretend character development for the Bit or something given GenFive turned out to be a zoroark) or through stealing some of the power of the relevant god (Dr. Order stealing Chartreuse's power, Dani maybe having stolen some of Crimson's when she beat his ass. Dani's one woman universal travel is like, wicked ambiguous)

Cobalt:

Can seemingly perceive or act through any living material. (The Tree. Cobalt instructed Larry to slap his hand on that tree, that shit glowed and he had a new deal tattoo without Cobalt ever having been physically present)

Can influence the resurrected by giving them a killing urge. Represented by an aberrant brainwave and a ringing in the undead's heads. This doesnt appear to be direct control- as the Grunk could clearly restrain himself from killing people that genuinely didn't deserve it (like nightly and cha cha, who WERE grunk event targets but not fatally so. Nagito was a crimson thing so it really doesn't count here. God poor grunk his life really is just a constant plaything in the hands of the gods huh) and Sephiroth very much had personal motivation to want to kill Folk. failsafe activates this ability on the scale of war.

Deals. The extent of what Cobalt can do with these is unclear but Iggy's god powers were taken from him as his part in the deal so what he can take isn't limited to physical things or things obviously related to his domain.

Weaknesses:

Deals. While this ability is impressive his preference for making deals for those that offend against his domain is potentially very exploitable- Larry's knowledge of the cure for death is, if word of it were to ever get out beyond Larry, wildly dangerous for this dimension, so technically the safest thing for the iron-fisted cobalt to do would be to nip the problem in the bud and get rid of him. But, fascinatingly, that wasn't even put on the table, the first thing Cobalt does is threaten J0hn, prompting Larry to make a deal. While Cobalt enforces death, he also doesn't like unnecessary death, and Larry demonstrably knows how to keep a secret for the good of the world even at great cost to himself and Cobalt is aware of this- easily clarifying to Larry the aberrant thing endangering the universe wasn't his timeloop business. So while he's clearly not letting his resurrection fuckery go unpunished, he's being pretty merciful when he doesn't have to be and from a strictly, brutally pragmatic perspective probably shouldn't be.

His control over the undead manifests as a ringing and an aberrant brainwave trackable by J0hn's equipment, and could probably therefore be accounted for and circumvented? J0hn has, wisely, largely sworn off fucking with people's brains after the sephiroth fiasco went So Wrong, So Very Wrong, Oh God Oh Fuck Someone Cool Almost Died, but if he hadn't, and if J0hn let his dislike for authority and keeping Larry safe outweigh reason like he let safety, spite and comedic value outweigh good ethical sense when reprogramming sephiroth, in theory Mr. 'hacked a time machine for breakfast?' could. y'know. probably do it. what is a god's authority to an anarchist, what better to challenge life and death than the cold and eternal machine, you get the point its a fun scenario

Olive Garden Breadsticks and Small Cute Dogs, apparently

Chartreuse's:

Time Clones: taps into parallel timelines to retrieve alternate versions of herself to utilize.

Time Travel: what it says on the tin. Travel to the past creates painful splits in the prime timeline, but through careful action and traveling back into the past, these can be weaved into a time loop. A split from the timeline is a wound, and a successful timeloop is the surgical scar it can become with attentive care, to use a medical metaphor. Carefully closed and healing. Keeping Folk here is essentially akin to chartreuse pulling out her stitches on the initial incision.

Time Stopping: creates a space wherein things that take time to complete cannot complete, where things can move, but everything within is in a perfect unchanging stasis until the bubble drops. This is the form her failsafe takes.

Timeline Creation: can create timelines from scratch.

Can fuse alternate timeline versions of the same individual to allow them to coexist. (Ryan's confirmed in the discord that Dantoinette experienced both failures in 20, because Chartreuse fused the two instances of her to save the post-raid instance from fading. Could... theoretically do this to Folk and save herself the pain, but while Folk and Therapuppy are the same person, there's seven years and untold amounts of difference deriving from the time and circumstance between them and the inherent cognitive dissonances that would result from attempting that would be wicked fucked up to inflict, and that's assuming there isn't some reason that it wouldn't be possible anyway. while the two Danis had like. A day or so's difference between them, so she could be safely fused with the only dissonant thing being that she remembers both being too slow to prevent order's time escape and beginning to dissipate post-raid, AND losing that fight to her pre-raid. RIP Dani, that perfectionism must be kicking her ass)

Weaknesses:

Unwilling to use her powers destructively in her pursuit of domain repair and thereby much easier to damage to the point of paralyzing her, making her particularly vulnerable to Power Theft

Morally Optimistic. At one point in 19, she briefly justifies Crimson's shitty evil actions to herself after experiencing for herself how Wack the kerfuffleverse is firsthand, ("and all he did was kill a couple people!" Chartreuse. Honey.) and when she fights Crimsonaut she seems to actually believe for a second that he's actually worried about her when Crimson asks if she's okay after he beats her. Additionally, as D+, she concerns herself with trying to understand doctor order's motive, and after Larry defeats Order, he makes a point of confirming she feels no remorse before making his request for what Chartreuse does with her, and appeals to the idea of letting Order fulfill her desire to be a god in a way which isn't a problem for anyone and Chartreuse is more than happy to oblige under these conditions after what Larry's done for everybody. Then immediately threatens to evaporate him for playfully teasing her about having a crush on folk. Fucked up a little bit

Crimson's:

Universe Shifting: Travel between universes.

Universe Correction: appears to replace an aberrant individual with the 'correct' version of themselves for that universe, presumably sending them back to their own. (Mario from super mario was universe corrected, but still seemingly exists in wario form as evidenced by smashup kerfuffle, and was simply temporarily replaced with his corrected universe counterpart. But like. The dimensional bus system is still active crimbo doing the Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me routine aint gonna work if they can come back with a shrug and bus fare. you're fighting the symptoms without treating the problem)

Universal Constants:

Three individuals per universe that serve as the pillars which stabilize said universe, created by absorbing red orbs Crimson creates. Becoming a constant grants power, but also makes the constant fragile, and death wipes them from the face of the multiverse, only crimson, those he's possessed and the other constants seemingly able to recall they ever existed, although some physical evidence is still left behind (Larry's record of Nagito's death, which is just as redacted as everything else relating to him but still is very much something Larry has. Kind of a Voidfish adventurezone type beat ironically enough? Taako really has seen all this shit before no wonder he peaced tf out)

To counterbalance the weaknesses the constants have, they have a sort of spidey-sense to alert them to danger, and an intrinsic bonded connection to their fellow constants, and additionally, Crimson apparently doesn't suffer any pain from the death of constants or the structural instability of a universe.

Possession: what it says on the tin! Seemingly can only be done with permission to living things- none of crimson's direct hosts seem to have entered that agreement unwillingly, Valentine lost a bet, Hamburger and Crimsonaut have been by all evidence intentional allies to Crimson- but electronics are fair game, as seen with The Guy's suit. Kinda curious how that rule applies to bitches that are half and half, like J0hn or the clonebot gang, as its unclear whether The Guy's suit was yoinkable without permission because it was mechanical or because its not sentient. could go either way but if it's the former that's potentially very frightening

Fusion: Two individuals from alternate universes can be fused into one shared body which can take on aspects of either depending on which is currently in control. (possibly allows someone who traveled into a given universe to become a fixed resident there without it being an issue for Crimson, whose job is to prevent interdimensional travel?) Monday Mark and possibly T.O.M. are our main examples.

Corruption:

Unpleasant As Hell and can even kill you instead of changing you if you cant handle it.

turns the corrupted individual into a twisted exaggeration of themself, allows them supernatural control over their shape, and makes them very difficult- if not impossible by traditional means- to kill, based on Garfield.

Subjects them to control by Crimson, but can be exorcised of this influence just like crimson's direct hosts can, although the supernatural changes to their physiology are seemingly permanent, judging from Shantae.

Notable Weaknesses:

Exorcism can be performed to free a possessed or corrupted individual of Crimson's influence. Its unclear how exorcism works/is learned in CPUK, but confirmed exorcists: dantoinette and yung papaya's snake dad, confirmed non-exorcists: folk

The universal constant orbs are physical objects so they are Very Stealable and they grant a power boost so theres literally an Incentive to beat his ass for anybody who wants to be strong and either doesnt know or doesn't care about the whole 'getting erased when you die' part

Crimson has lots of tools to create pawns, but all of them have drawbacks. Corruption could kill a potential pawn, possession generally seems to require permission, and he has no control over the constants' choices and actions

Manipulative bitch's highest stat is charisma and it shows. This motherfucker is selling snake oil. If he was mortal rather than a Whole Entire God he'd make an excellent ineffectual saturday morning cartoon supervillain and i think everyone, including him, would be happier for it, ngl

Something interesting ive realized that likely wasnt fully intentional, is that a lot of Dr. Order's creations, considering her motive, can kind of be sorted by a color god it appears to be a crude attempt at mimicking the abilities of. My Grunk is a poorly executed resurrection, the clonebot gang vs chartreuse's timeclones (this one deserves special mention because Chartreuse used this shitty attempted mimicry to her advantage with D+, very smart and ironic play, excellent job Treusy,) spirits are somewhat similar to universal constant orbs (orbs which can be absorbed to grant power, but which have physical repercussions- key differences being that spirits require activation and grow stronger while attuning to a user without being used, and having far less severe drawbacks, taking a heavy toll on the body, but only once they've worn off and without the risk of wiping yourself from the face of existence,) and she also augmented Perfect Spriteman and Larry, which kind of track as crude imitations of Crimson's corruption!

Garfield was an acerbic cat who loved food and hated mondays, now its an actively malicious ever-hungry amorphous entity whose only weakness is monday and whose only consistency in form is 'cat-like.'

Shantae was (to my extremely limited understanding of shantae,) a friendly heroic type who had to introduce herself often, and she became something akin to a biblically accurate angel that can *only* introduce herself.

The Grunks a tough but sweet and supportive single dad with stage presence and a tendency to fly off the handle when he or his family are slighted, and now he gets so hype in the audience when his son does well that he bursts into flames and ascends and we get random grunk events along with the associated murder charges when he gets mad and the target sucks enough that he doesn't hold himself back from killing them.

Perfect Spriteman and Larry fit the trend of exaggeration of already present traits- Spriteman fucking loves sprite and became something that only thinks about sprite, and Larry the Florida Man, characterized from minute one by unpredictability and who spent his first matches in the series pre-shapeshifter transformation staying alive keeping stocks for Shockingly Long even despite getting seventh, became literally physically random as well as developing the ability to regenerate, albeit with the ability to feel pain normally very much intact, unlike Garfield just... Soaking up damage like its nothing in his pursuit of Jon. The fact that Arbuckle legit defeated Garfield, even temporarily, is terrifyingly impressive honestly that dude is fucking built different for being so chronically bland

i dont think they're actually corrupted in any meaningful way we have to worry about, to be fully clear, Spriteman was cured with fucking antacids, i simply think they could be a fucked up attempt at making something that kind of seems like it from a functional standpoint, from the wannabe god doctor that brought us green clones whose only fundamental association with time was accelerated aging and who thought an actively rotting corpse thats just reanimated enough that it can throw hands was as good as curing death

Prosy freestylee for to ease with good positive thinking entertainment as a rap kind of lovely readings to letting show in philosophical wisdom that the world freedom is a great nice treat from nature which makes life incredibly happy through finding it after all indeed quite very fortunate.

Title:

The Love of Nature Creation

By Artit Pongpira

World is born

Still with love

From no stop

Just to cause

Beaming stars

In time free

Force to seek

Eventually all

For eternity peace

In order to securely

Bring it through

As nature rules

Energy with mighty

Fuse and burning

Loops to steady

Supply huge vast

Powers for ultimate

Boost since it fuels

Light, fire and truth

That life is no illusion

Because sense

Evolution can not

Loose to achieve

Worldllihood and make

Room as all should

Last the eligible loot to let

Good freedom be

Fulfilling hopes for sure

Always winning which

Is positive succeeding

From nature world

Beaming from creation

Almighty independence

On unconditional reason

That everything will

Evolve in leading to

Salvation like free conditioned

Opening dimensions and universals

In world reality powers

So secure and predestined

As absolute certain for any

Birthings to remain perfect

Life solution in whole

Complete entire wisdom

Full of reassurance of

Existential evolution by

All systems relatively

Invincible, making all

Forth capable of repeating

Without any cheating

Through remaining possible

In anyways reconstructive into

Starting back again since

It could never be lost and is

Recreational to enable

Unlimited supreme clearance

In potential real activation

On invulnerable probabilty

To provide the indistructible

Entity of nature never vanishes

And therefore will forever

Set free unbeatable continuation

Of ever returnable random

And randomless features

For nature will and cannot already

Ever never leave us in world

And existential being as

Space and time may persist

Without an unrestricted ending

Sequel while variable universal

Meaning is in atom creation

The undying treatment from

Life which is anyhow given with

Nothing and all out of something

Retrievable for whatever may

Come as it goes in time

Untouchable and unchangeable

Alternating on in- or without

Unconceivable retainment

With all achievable initiation

Through the rule of deity god

And holy angels as being

Universal mind and universal

Soul in eternity forthcoming

Throughout from no

Beginning to finish on on

All no ending beginning on and on.

See the world is permanence

In all imminence to reap life

Over and over again to prepare

To keep living and providing

Goodness nature strong and

In control of wealthy riches

Which becomes truly virtuous

Through insuring the common

Gain with investment maintenance

Of conducement in justice and

Liberty ruling with fairness and

Usefulness by doing greatness

Through retaining in business

From sustaining life love in

Containing resourcefulness

With willful nature works

For provisions and more benefits

Including the worldly goods and

Higher intelligence attainment

But also by necessities from reservations

For product development and conservation

In taking care of humanity in balance

With animal life and nature environment

Is important to deliver the old solvings

In culture homing and souling to let going

As time creates too in the coming

To make happy and new again with

Producing the life sensing true

Game at freeplay of never giving up

When it might maybe seems quite

Unreasonable to quit the unimpeded

Accepting destined correct way

Compared to a constant ending and

No workings in the existence

Which could be the bad thing

Because nature needs to be thriving

Plus it won't seize out in outstriving

Since world is nature with being free

Of time, with as time unconditional

As the existence and independent

Origin of nature, from there had been

No internal and external world given

Thus it everything remained free being

By having already always been before,

Then and there free for existing

Through all cannot be impossible

Because there was no realing so

Itself pre-existing in what was

Worldability out of no life origin

From else is nothing, but beaming

Out of nothingness or beaming from

Any entity source for the making

In no need to be lacking of any

Is the case to life's many operation

As human respectively must keep

Free to know it can always break free

While in search for meaning over

And over to stay with all for more

Than nothing by now is already also given

For why should it not be created for

Anyhow and anyways because

It can be made without obstacles

In capability and possibility

Even if it couldn't since the existence

Is a nature which is self-sufficient

Hence, all world out of nothingness

Is logically nevertheless in situation

Freely for nature dreamier or for in

Suppose to fulfill reality to win and

Succeed for life mind will never leave

Knowledge reason to reach

The experience in luck and comfort

Best to believe that all may still

Can be in world happening on art

And nature down to earth for

Love to put higher power

Into the nature flower of beauty

And at place safe for our seeds

To grow as all resumes to bring

Love sense for our children

And offspring like music takes

Passion to everlasting life poetry

In the minds of our families

To cherish together what is

Only worth evolving for it's now

Or never to win more no matter

If all still works by perfect nature

Plan already established in numbers

And generation of only what can't

Be wrong to abstain from being

Without love as the truth is the

Unchangeable lore of the universe

Which holds and can't anymore

Be lost as henceforth it had not

Only with nothing a creation through

Lots of causes which are works

Of all virtues in course by nature

Determination since it is absolute

Evolution including all defining

World worlding which made meaning

In words to light and no light is

First nature to occur in plain

Freedom for exerting it all possible

To avert from actually making

Real what can't be destroyed in

The circle of life and existence

Because love will always be

Winning and overcome all by

Flow verse what nature has

Always universal and eternally

Deserves achieve as logic rhymes and

Is the state of times which

May repeat and in emergence

To exist and continue whilst

Fulfillment will remain to

Be certain that out of nothing

There are no limits to be called

A cessation when the true

Powers are anyways prevailing

So by now the original version is for

Just to mention that nothing

Can be destroyed infinitely

And indefinitely will retain and remain

As afore told and said accordingly

For that all will always savior free

Through recursion and hencewith

Is in evolution a life long love

Learning and earning forever

The world turning and against evil

To remove from all what's reason

To avoid it from resurging

When everyone must live to

Protect what is essentially

Reproducing the worlding

Which takes place and keeps

On evolving at nature force

To ad infinitum for good

And evermore reinstigated

In the nature intelligence

For I bet, you bet and we bet

As the surety that all becomes

Again and again unconditional free

With the prosaic world life example

Rhyming proof for the creational

Genesis and the origin story is fixed

To rest set onwards perfect for one

Not reallly have to worry as nature

Victory is the glory for there

Is perhaps no true contrary since

Free actuality and soul immortality is

A fact and spirituality from

Immaterial virtual reality in

Wisdom sensuality is a holy see

In creed to life naturally is

Positively and specifically

In all temporality substantial

And eminently a real factor

In evolutional verity to create free

And in knowledge realizing reason

Useful to find mulplicity in latitude

As also potentially a will for virtue

To constantly design a method for

Genuine hospitality to testify

The confidence of suspicious

People and prevent them from

Becoming bad because the

Unknown truth knowledges

Can turn humans wicked so

For in philosophy, we should

Defend the goodness to maintain

It present left in power as our

Best concept attestation for

Guarantee that truth in universality

Is transcendence for all sublime

From creation's supremacy to

Possess and provide evidence

Of information on enlightenment

By showing the faithful and correct

Exact reason why only righteousness

Will define and determine the defeat

Of the enemy who shouldn't

Realize this misbelief against kindness

That through compassion life is a quality

Which is the real propriety to keep

The wrong doers in custody so that

The true good and honest people

Always are the returnal superiors

And guardians in charge of justice

Who are avengers in advance and in

Prevention to radically finish off

What and who is threatening against

The truth and meaning of life

Which is by eliminating the sick

Adversaries who don't want to

Understand as it is totally always

Obvious or knowledgeable to make

Clear because we do never fear

For knowledge is power in presence

Of the revelation of the freedom truth

Inevitable in the veracity for all to

Continously preservere in devotion

And steady eradicate with our

Awareness of the fact that

Intolerant negativity and intentional

Mischievousness in action

Doesn't get you back right free

Therefore beware and so do ensure

To the true nature of reality to

Balance out pure most incessantly

And almost never fail the sense of

Life by means of trying to be worthy

Of power but those who are

Corrupt will die out utmost eventually

In the evolution of infinity since

While the good love followers in

Righteousness who worship happily

In the true life nature prosperity

Are rewarded because this truth of

Being a moral and humble person

Will always prevail in the end

For their faithfulness and loyalty

In nature rectitude will let receive

In exchange the karma which

Is good from being responsible

Of evolutional correctness

Through managing in doing only

What is good out of courage

In humanity to not like foes

Mistreat and abuse such unreal

Pseudo powers in deception on friendly

Imminent peace loving people

Who evolve upright and legitimate

With others for instead those

Malefactors who won't give in

To the values of the providence of

Piety cannot proceed in peace and

Will not aquire and benefit from

Love thence and become unable

To champion the nature power

In consequence to make love

Not war for keeping peace to

Love is the measure to create

With variety of improving life

Better so that world contains

Only truth no matter whatever.

The power is the endeavor to

World facilitate in mind which is

Love conquers all and still

Always will be fundamental

Through complete freedom

Indispensable and perfect

As imagined and realized indeed

For all achievable evolution a veritable

Ultimate goodness in redemption of

Almighty truth in nature character on

The world sense contemplation is

Ideal and wonderous

Creation

For at last and since from the start, love will always be to set free for eternity...

Amen.

[mage-and-the-tantrums]

Turn it off

I just can't brush that thought off my mind.

I was always fascinated by the Pi number. This number theoretically cannot end, and cannot be written with 100% exactitude. Its value is conventionally known as 3.14, but the digits coming after the "4" go on forever. Yet, it makes perfect sense to use Pi for critical calculations, related to everything in our lives, from electricity to structures and architecture, to medicine. We accept that we can never define Pi, and that the digits going on forever can be discarded. In school, when we were first introduced to this ambiguity, we could not accept it because mathematics are about ruthless, perfect exactitude. And yet, relativity is everywhere around us. Growing up, I slowly came to digest this notion of relativity governing the whole existence. Absolute cardinality gets you most of the way, but not all the way through. And technically, the way is never ending so good luck with your wandering.

So, using an imperfect, irrational number, we can draw a perfect shape that is a circle. A never-ending loop of eternal wandering. Structured, borned, beautiful, omnipresent all around us. Even history is about cycles. Menstruation, the origin of life, is a perfect cycle. Water is a cycle. All cycles are circles.

If I am to draw a general outline of my life, with all the feelings and mood swings I go through, and all the ideas that go through my head, I would say it is a cycle. I am like a binary machine; either up or down. I would go through periods of hyperactivity and social extrovertness. I would feel overall happy and light, and ready to take on the world. I feel grateful, about a lot of things in my life, and I tolerate bullshit around me. Only to end up in a pit, months afterwards. My battery dies, and I feel like staying home all the time. I become very difficult to talk to, and I start overthinking and criticising everything and everyone. I would also be mad with most people around me, and most of the time, rightly so. I am usually very easy to be pissed off, and politically correct. I get disgusted by life in general, and I see everything as useless and tiring.

The only constant during these varying cycles is one grim thought: It would be easier if I weren't to live in the first place. I often end up asking myself what the world would have missed if my parents did not have sex at that exact time where I was conceived. Moreover, what is the meaning of this life, apart from growing old, getting an education, struggling into a system of greed and imperialistic, late stage capitalism, to find a place in the grid where I'd have to work my days off in a building. The question is more urgent and burning in a world that does make absolutely no sense, with an ecological mega-crisis looming in the horizon and ever-growing tensions between cultures and religions. It is even more obvious when you are born into a third-world country that is forced to justify itself and self-promote for a better tourism and a more generous visa quota for the wealthier countries. I see no point in this shitshow, and the wheel would turn with or without me in the end.

Let's just forget about the current state of the world, maybe life has its full meaning in the relationships that we create and in the daily struggles we go through. Life itself fails to make any sense at a micro-scale. Especially in this age of dying morals, individualistic culture and consumerism. Everybody is flexing a goddamned muscle, and at the end of the day, people fail, most of the time, to acknowledge that we are very much determined by the sum of our conditions. People are tiring, and during my off-cycles, I can't bear small talk, or talk of self-gratification and emotional illiteracy. I just can't stand it.

But maybe some meaning can be found in helping others and making sustainable impact. Teaching people a skill that changes their lives is priceless, helping someone and making their existence a little more easier, even by words, is priceless. Healing people, providing people with food, even when most of them are selfish assholes, is very fulfilling. Maybe there is meaning to life after all.

Still, it would have been a lot easier if I did not come to this existence. Or maybe it is too early to jump to this conclusion. Suffering is part of existing, and maybe the dose of suffering and existential pain and embarrassment is a little too much. We are the furthest humans have been from nature. Everything is abstracted away. We live in an overly industrialized world and our attention had been hijacked from us by gadgets and devices. Human connections changed beyond recognition, and cash rules everything around me. Maybe the ultimate meaning in this era is to figure out a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle, and fighting to claim it back, even individually. For me, a theist muslim, a very big part of meaning is a return to God, and a return to a religion which I stress-tested and read a lot about in order to be fully convinced by it and its book. One of the many things I hated as a teenager is being a muslim by inheritance. I spent the subsequent years away from any notion of religion or connection with God, and I read for quite a while, with a very critical state of mind, and I made my choice as if I was never introduced to Islam. It makes sense.

Actually, one of my first questions to God would be: "why ?".

I scraped my knees while I was praying and found a demon in my safest haven Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts I wanna know what it'd be like to find perfection in my pride To see nothing in the light Or turn it off in all my spite In all my spite I'll turn it off

And the worst part is before it gets any better we're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom

The tragedy it seems unending I'm watching everyone I looked up to breaking, bending Taking shortcuts and false solutions just to come out the hero Well I can see behind the curtain The wheels are cranking turning It's all wrong the way we're working towards a goal that's nonexistent It's nonexistent but we just keep believing

Paramore - Turn It Off

[captainkurosolaire]

Battle Architect

The mighty sorcerer warped now his favorite go-to Voidal Relic, the worst one, The Scroll of the Twelve. He navigated his digit to true decimation, this trifling lot, couldn’t comprehend what unfathomably spell he foreknew and could invoke. Under the extent raging battle. Shiro managed to retrieve himself close enough to scoot into Captain and pull out from the Seeker’s pocket his chained pocket-watch, which if carried recent enough could date injuries to time and be used to personally rewind them upon a once activation. He couldn’t go too far, only enough to deal with the most recent grievous wounds. But it was better than anything to keep them as many in the fight of their lives. That last pommeling Captain would’ve either sustained his death or regardless been out of commission. The hour hand’s began spinning at Shiro’s responsive aether who was proficient in time-magick, but couldn’t stop time after losing much of his full arsenal to the lecherous resurrection, even Diamond Ice was scarce for him to use.  Breathe regained into the lung’s of Captain and injuries minute’s ago dissolved. As his amber came forth and he looked stunned, hasking for air, looking dismayed. “Shiro…” He had been once mend like this before by the same source very long-ago. But that’s because Noble and Pirate both shared a similar woman’s interest who coaxed them to fight against the Sea Civilization Empire. “Don’t…” Scowling not wanting to be thanked. He loathed that not only Captain but his entire Crew was sacrificing themselves seemingly all for him. That’s so damaging to pride… To be so weak. “Wait, that's Judas? ...He’s like a completely different person, I knew he could survive th’ Eternal Sona Flower. But t’ remain himself… Incredible…” He once required using Relic's petal’s for desperate measures but inevitably, that brought the ruling demise of his former Chef, and dearest Xaelic matey, Masao.  Both their feline ear’s began hearing a bone chilling spell beginning to utter suddenly, “OH NO!” Shiro said horrified aside Mhachi cell’s and Kuro also ingrained deep influenced cell’s of vein coursing Amadapori. Heard the beginning of it and felt their bodies about to explode from their very existence, unlike the damage they risked bringing all nature and forms, throughout all their lifetime they were being judged. It’s what brought an end to their better ancestors and ended the most notorious War. Silv’a flavoring salivated this conclusion. “GREEN…--” Captain burst aloud, “IF HE PERFORMS THAT WE’RE DONE!” Any of the remaining Crew if had consciousness felt the same sentiment but unable to vocalize. “WRA-” On the tip of Silv’a’s tongue about to use the most indomitable destructive spell, Greenwrath. Atypically that wouldn’t have been fearful to all them but because of the Scroll, every nature or ethical law behind spell change codes or loosened restrictions previous base on emotional stress. With Silv’a’s hefty Umbral alignment of multiple aspects feasted on, it would’ve been potent enough to take out the people of this room with complete mass-purge. Each Goldbrand and Noble head’s count of them would be worth many, many years accelerated typically on the wielder invoking Scroll, but Silv’a’s ageless body negated it all. Out of the entire selection that spell was among the worst. Soon as the sorcerer however moved his index finger enough over to the second-half after ‘a’ in ‘wrath’ a massive explosion blew up over him. Piercing eardrums and shoving people back from the magnitude. A trip wire. Judas planted every single movement earlier and his cowardice acts as previously stated, they were all intended. Each of them carefully maneuvering and shifting. Each feint, they were meant to loop and coil nearly-fully invisible aetheric fiber string wires.  From the bottom hilt’s of his dirk’s carried them, to his mere finger tips, in the middle of rushing when his hand’s swayed, he was meticulously cutting redundant wire’s to intersect over and over.

This resulted in a spider-web-like response. Combining various string was also an added strategic level of his intelligence. Not only did he have overlapping wires, some were facades. It explained that when Silv’a tried to remove himself from in a leap, he was prevented because he was entangled from below legs. But that wasn’t all either. It was his entire upper torso and arms to every individualistic finger. The aetheric nature he could do many things, using the wind aspect he could reposition at any point even already served purpose wire’s that were destroyed or needed realigning to prevent suspicions. The First Crewmate abundantly stood by his entire body was also suffering extensive linked injuries and cut’s that weep over into his clothes. Each wire he connected on himself meant he needed to account for the range between his target. Agony creeping over his visage and heaving breath formed. To hide such overwhelming power from the surface was a feat beyond many tricksters. But he was the best poker face. Last drifting scrap of parchment of that Scroll was unusable charcoal turning into ash from the flammagentius cloud of debris the explosion created. Detonation wires were scarcely Judas’s usage. His big-attack was all or nothing. It cost him to aetherial tether interlacing wire’s to his own heart, taking a severe toll on his life-span. Bloody drenched. Shiro and Kuro looked at each other… “I don’t believe it… He did it!” Disbelieving emotions were so confused, they went from drastically feeling inevitable dread they felt their spirit’s practically lift out of them. Only to feel a stun of amazement. Captain always knew compared to his own self that Judas possessed ahead of his time techniques, trickster inspiring abilities and sheer intelligence that far many underestimated. Even when Captain battled against the Hyur as ‘Bellum’ he wasn’t fighting in his normal style to remain incognito with his dedication, changing his style to adopt personas, a lot the Seeker learned from this prodigy. This hellish nightmare felt unthinkingly over. There didn’t appear to be any traces left as the dusting cloud began to dissolve.                          (Previous) << (Voidal Relics) >> (Next)

Krystal Star

The source code or unity intelligence field is a Krystal Star (Christos Consciousness) hub accessed through the merging of manifested bodies holding trinity wave formats that connect directly into the Eternal Source light (Godhead). The three sound-wave-tone parts when merged into internal energetic balance become designed as one component that access directly into the feedback loop exchanging with the Eternal source supply, the Zero Point Field. This exchange with the godhead is the principle of Christos, an inner sustained eternal source light which signals the end of vampirism or consumptive modeling on planet. This is what it means that the Godhead cannot be reached by anything but the Christos Consciousness of Krystal Star Tones, KA RA YA SA TA AA LA ( KRYSTAL), although this process of unifying consciousness with the Godhead is known by many different names.

The Krystal/Christos architecture is that which allows the synchronic phasing of inner/outer/inbetween currents of energy to be inhaled and exhaled circulating the eternal life spark of creation throughout the entire organism.

This trinity principle is the original holographic architecture of the microcosm to macrocosm, planetary, human and all of universal creation. Our bodies and souls were not created by Reptilian Annunaki or other E.T. False Father Gods; we were modified and hybridized to suit their various domination agendas through hybridization. The Christos template is designed as a unity form of embodiment, thus all architecture, patterns and 12D Ray code must be embodied as a trinity wave to return the Christos Blueprint and crystal gene to the earth. The original source code of one component cannot work without the other three parts unified together.

Hence we have existed on 3D earth in a separated state, governed by the tyranny of the False Gods, only allowed to experience within a partial component of the entirety of our existence. The Holy Mother, the Holy Father and the Holy Son (Christos) are all One as the Godhead; however the Mother principle is not the Father principle, nor the Son. There is an energy matrix comprised of frequency that is a trinity wave tone, this tone is inter-dimensional and also a part of the core substance of our Universal Time Matrix. Up until recently this planetary consciousness was separated from the merge between all of its dimensionlized creation components. Now that our Mother Arc principle component has returned, this is the unique process and massive transformation an ascending group of humans begin as potential planetary Christos prototypes and Hieros Gamos consciousness.
