Discussing Blue Archive Lore and going progressively insane has been an experience. The Mystics, for example:

Each academy has its thing, right. Abydos is ancient Egyptian pantheon, Trinity is Christianity (+English/Irish/Scottish myth), Gehenna are the 72 demons, Valkyrie and SRT are Norse, Hyakkiyako is Japanese myth, and so on. So it's easy to establish a framework: "They're representative of cultural figures from x place".

So:

You have the ones that are Obvious: Shiroko is Anubis, Hoshino is Horus, Mika is the Archangel Michael, Seia is Gabriel, Hina is Baal, Wakamo is Tamamo no Mae, Niya is Ootakemaru, Kazusa is Cath Palug, Ako is Astaroth, among others

Then you have the ones that are "Obvious" as in "probably": Serika as Bastet, Saori as Lucifer, Nonomi as Nephtys, Nagisa as Uriel, Suzumi as Sariel, Koharu as Metatron, Hasumi as Sandalphon, Hinata as Jegudiel, Kanna as Odin, Miyako as Mimir, and so on.

Now you start getting a little out there, as you have to expand your the concept of "figure from x place" to "the concept from x place".

Shit like "well, Rin's family name is Nanagami, "Seven Gods", she's currently the highest authority at least on paper, so what if she's The Seven Holy Names of God per Jewish faith? If we assume the GSC President was capital G monotheistic God it'd make even more sense" "What if she's the seven heavenly virtues instead?" "Also possible but I think it's the former".

Then you get to fucking Millenium.

"Yuuka's halo is a simple perfect circle that looks artificial. Her birthday is 3/14. She is insanely good at math. She's pi. Stop laughing. Look at her twintails. π. Come on, keep up."

"Rio is either the Theory of Relativity both as a relation to Himari's potential Quantum Theory of Light and as an important foundation of our concept of physics, which would fit with her being MIllenium's president OR as she's the President of Millenium and created the city of Eridu, she's supposed to be the Sumerian Deity Enki, God of creation, knowledge, and water and patron deity of the ancient city Eridu." "Maybe she's both." "SHE'S PROBABLY BOTH, THANKS."

"Himari could be the Quantum Theory of Light in relation to Rio - being a more modern and complete concept, or she could be Isaac Newton, who had a mild obsession in the paranormal, like her." "What if she's also got a Mesopotamian-" "It'd be Ishtar, both because of her antagonism towards Enki in some myth her interest in the stars and as a riff on her whole conceit about her beauty. Further backed up by Eimi being her assistant that handles all the physical work, making her the Bull of Heaven. Eimi even had horns in her concept art." "Someone just put forth Euler's Identity, because it's considered a representation of mathematical beauty, like a sonnet is for poetry."

"The Game Development Department are Eroge Company references. Yuzu is Yuzusoft, Aris is Alicesoft, and the Saiba twins are Cyberworks's Wendybell and Tinkerbell. We can maybe assume that's just what they are." "Oh, thank god something stupid to end this post on-" "Aris's whole universally loved hero thing with an almighty weapon integral in saving the world might make her Gilgamesh-" "FINE OUR DAUGHTER IS GILGAMESH."

And now, the continuation no one asked for:

A funnyman's recap of Blue Archive

Prologue

It begins with the player character having a weird dream while on the train to Kivotos, which is ominous enough. Sensei awakens and steps off the train to meet with the person in charge

Her name is Rin, and she is a stand-in. The president of the General Student Council - the Big Cheese, basically - has gone missing and named Sensei, i.e. the player, as the person to summon in this case. Sensei is referred to with gender neutral pronouns, so can be either/or/neither, whatever floats your boat.

(Rin not pictured here BC she doesn't really become relevant to the overall story until way later.)

She functions as a proxy for the Prez while they're gone and brief Sensei on what's happening in the city and Great Googly Moogly, it's gone to shit in a heartbeat.

The seven most notorious criminals of the city had just been all apprehended as the Prez disappears so now they take the confusion as the chance to escape.

And one of them wants to fucking bomb the main tower.

For fun.

She is Kosaka Wakamo, Fox of Calamity (the reference to Tamamo-no-Mae jumps out immediately, no?)

Rin informs Sensei that it's up to them now and with the help of a nice tablet called

...

The..

The Shittim Chest.

Yes, I know. No, I don't think they workshopped it enough. Let's just call it the tablet.

Anyway, Rin also introduces four students, representatives of the Three Great Academies, who have come to aid Sensei and the GSC. They are, essentially, the starters.

Before it goes to battle, however, Sensei boots up the tablet using a passcode of ominous origin. It came to them in a dream (?).

And then an AI helper comes out!

Behold Arona! The AI of the tablet and adorable widdle babby who you can actually headpat. But that comes later.

And now, in cliffnotes, introducing the starters!

Hayase Yuuka

Treasurer at Millennium Academy

Can solve complex calculations in her head

Wields two Sig MPX, called "Logic & Reason"

Falls victim to a rumor about her actually weighing 100kg (someone manipulated her health check data)

Easily flustered when caught off-guard

Tries to be no-nonsense, fails at times

Develops a crush on Sensei with time

Hanekawa Hasumi

Dear god her artist is cooking the finest chili in the land

Vice president of the Justice Task Force at Trinity Academy (note the angel theme)

Uses a 1914 Enfield rifle named "Impalement"

Very conscious about her weight (GEE I WONDER WHERE ITS GOING)

Also has a sweet tooth

Constant sufferer of her own diets

Competent at her job

Effortlessly gorgeous

Hinomiya Chinatsu

Member of the Prefect Team at Gehenna Academy

Healer and good at it

Very adorable when flustered

Most transparent crush on Sensei after Yuuka

Wields a M712 Mauser pistol called "Support Pointer"

Feels constantly overworked, relishes rest

Morizuki Suzumi

Member of Vigilante Club at trinity

Literally just tagged along because she wanted to help

Gun: SIG MCX Virtus Patrol "Safety"

Stern, but kind

Bad at socialising

Has a really big stockpile of flash grenades.

Now you may see the guns and think "well damn, that is surprising" and/or "these girls are gonna die?"

Well.

Once they step out to meet the thugs that Wakamo rallied for max destruction, Yuuka gets shot in the head...and complains that hollow point bullets hurt like hell.

That's right, just about every inhabitant of Kivotos is bulletproof.

Except Sensei.

Fucked, innit?

Anywho, Sensei decides to use the tablet to give tactical support to the four girls at the front, who actually succeed in subduing Wakamo...

Except not really, she ran off into the tower to look what she can wreck with bombs.

She sees Sensei.

"Come here often?"

She excuses herself and bolts, which brings up several questions. All of which are answered in the Valentine's event.

And by me here and now: this girl fell in love at first sight and promises to be a good girl for a crumb of affection by the, apparently, only adult in Kivotos!

And that's how Sensei establishes themselves, as well as the club called Schale they helm from then on.

End prologue, welcome to Blue Archive, please leave your common sense at the door

by Justin Feldman

As a Jewish student leader at NYU, the widely-viewed House Committee hearing on campus antisemitism last month moved me and articulated the isolation that my Jewish peers and I have been experiencing, simply for partaking in higher education as Jews. From the barring of Rachel Beyda from student government at UCLA in 2015, to Jewish students being removed from a sexual assault survivors organization at SUNY New Paltz in 2022, to last month’s testimonies of exclusion, this discriminatory pattern has proven potent. I’ve unfortunately been no exception.

During the same period President Liz Magill of Penn and President Claudine Gay of Harvard yielded to pressure to resign for their comments on campus “call(s) for Jewish genocide”, I was sent a “Vote to Dismiss and Terminate Position” email, as a Student Justice for New York University’s Graduate Student Council (GSC). My student council president was calling to remove me, one of the only Jewish students in NYU’s student government.

Fabricated “technicalities” brought in bad faith were invoked to falsely accuse me of the unauthorized use of GSC’s name in my resolution, even though my use of the GSC name was solely used as an identifier for my position. I was clear that I was not claiming to speak for anyone but myself and the resolution’s cosponsors.

The true, underlying reason that prompted my removal was that my resolution, which defined and “condemned the endorsement, promotion, or excusing of civilian murder (terrorism) in academia”, undermined the expressions — and by relation the stature — of a number of our radical student senators and their pro-Hamas student backers. In particular, my resolution cited famous justifications, praises, and denials of the October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks by unnamed faculty, student leaders, and student organizations.

Yet, despite indirectly implicating the aforementioned pro-Hamas groups and individuals like the Faculty/Students for Justice in Palestine (FJP/SJP), the resolution also included condemnations of both recent Islamophobic and antisemitic hate crimes and proposed universally beneficial safety measures on hate crime reporting and transparency on free speech.

Not only were these reforms voted down in early stages, contrary to various antisemitic resolutions that passed. I was also singled out by my council president for removal weeks later – simply for voicing opposition to extremist support for terror on campus.

A comparison of articles on “removal” of councilmembers, from the publicly available NYU GSAS GSC Constitution & Bylaws, ratified Spring 2020 (left), and the NYU GSAS GSC Constitution and Bylaws, secretly modified and never voted on for ratification – uploaded to the GSC Drive on December 10, 2023 (right).

Despite notifying administrators and our SGA Elections Commission officials in advance of these offenses, no actions were taken to prevent this inconsistent and discriminatory vote from being carried out. I was removed by less than half of the attending councilmembers.

Unlike Dr. Gay and Dr. Magill, I was not accused of dehumanizing any group, nor subjecting certain people to visible double standards. I, myself, became the target of clear double standards for humanizing myself and my Jewish community amid the backdrop of peers chanting for the very genocidal rhetoric that these former administrators failed to distinguish as violatory.

But sounding this alarm about NYU isn’t just about me, or the brutal and carefully planned murder, rape, and kidnapping of over a thousand Israeli Jewish and Arab citizens. As I stated in my last GSC meeting before being voted out by less than half of our attending council: the October 7th terror attacks targeted citizens of more than 40 different countries across continents that came to Israel.

At NYU, an elite institution with an abundance of global campuses and students attending from all over the world, I could not fathom how so many in my student council – including students from affected countries – could downplay the effect that this moral collapse had on our physical safety.

I witnessed the consequences of unchecked sympathy for terror firsthand. In November at NYU’s Bobst Library, I saw the aftermath of an antisemitic hate crime in real time, where a Jewish student was called slurs and physically assaulted for wearing Israeli and American flags in NYU’s Bobst Library. Security personnel did nothing for minutes on end. The perpetrator was eventually detained by NYPD and released hours later – photographed entering the same library the very next day. 

In Washington Square Park, Jewish students (including myself) were physically threatened by an inebriated man multiple times over the course of months, calling us “animals”, saying “f*** all you Jews”, spitting, and threatening physical attack. Many of us were just wearing a kippah or a Magen David necklace around campus.

These examples are drops in the ocean in the vast record of hate crimes that Jewish-Americans disproportionately face, compared to any other minority group per capita in the U.S. and beyond.

As we saw in the case of Liz Magill and Claudine Gay’s resignations, what campus antisemitism reveals is the underlying moral failure of our elite institutions (and society) to equally enforce many things: free speech, fair admissions, transparent financing, just hiring practices, and accountable student conduct.

What my story of removal from NYU’s Graduate Student Council also illuminates is that this fight is just as much a battle to restore my generation’s recognition of a “shared humanity” – including Jewish humanity – as it is a battle to save liberal values in higher education and our country.

Why Kaya really does not want to successfully take over the General Student Council

"The concept of absolute power, in practice, is wonderful. But when it amounts to wiping the collective asses of the unwashed masses, just-as-selfish-but-not-as-outright as I am..."

"I'd sooner let those gaggle of sensei have their way with me than suffer the humility of having to be the GSC President."

In today’s quarterly meeting, I was elected Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Notre Dame of Marbel University together with Atty. Gerald Mosquera and Bro. Roy Deita as Corporate Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Thank you for the trust! As member of the BOD of the Notre Dame GSC Alumni Association International (USA), I turned over Fifty Thousand pesos to Bro. Paterno Corpus, NDMU President as additional support to the ABANTE LUMAD COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP. This is in addition to the One Hundred Thousand Pesos which the Alumni Association headed by President Lulut Palacios Chan turned over last December 2022.

I guess the next question would be which story thread are you looking forward to the most? Personally excited to convert FOX squad schale

Also SCP being arona was pretty cool to see since we still have like 0 information about her but the bloodstain being left on the train seat is kinda….

Aside from from Kaya's coup and SRT, probably learning more about Kuzunoha because I am relentlessly stereotypical, but also just more of Hyakkiyako in general. Always fun to have more youkai running around.

Another Millenium chapter would also be nice since it might consist of Rio learning and getting some reconciliation. Rioconciliation, if you will.

Also yeah, I think GSC President is almost certainly dead or at least her body and most of her mind is. Bit unsettling when you consider that Plana is technically the OG Shittim Chest AI and Arona might be the President doing some form of bodysnatch. Learning more about that might have some costs, haha.

The Induction and Knighting Ceremonies of AUF ROTC Batch MAGSINGLAHI

BY: Angelo Fernandez

“Rewards sown through hard work are 10 times more satisfactory when reaped”

Contrary to popular belief, The ROTC or Reserve Officers Training Course section of the NSTP isn’t all about hardships or difficulties. Just this 26th day of October, 2019, the annual induction and recognition ceremonies of the AUF ROTC was held in St. Cecilia’s Auditorium on the 4th floor of Angeles University Foundation.

The induction and recognition ceremonies are integral part of the ROTC. It is during this time that the probationary cadets are finally accepted and recognized as full-fledged members of the Cadet Corps, when their upperclassmen get promoted, and when the 1st Class cadets do their ringhop ceremony.

68 out of the 79 Cadet Officers of batch MAGSINGLAHI who passed the COQC or Cadet Officer Qualifying Course were inducted last Saturday after two months of training and doing their best to satisfy the requirements given them by their upperclassmen. The solemn ceremony brought up a wave of emotions as the family members watched the Cadets being inducted. The Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Archimedes T. David, gave the welcome remarks while sir Joseph Renus Galang, the director of CCFP, welcomed the guest of honor.

The guest of honor for the ceremony was LTC. Arthur B. Balunes Jr. PAF, GSC, the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Air Reserve Center of the Philippine Air Force. He recognized and welcomed the 68 cadets presented by the commandant, 2LT Mark Jeo Doronilla PAF. Together, they witnessed the knighting rites conducted by the Corps Commander, now CDT LTC Warren M. Mallari. After the knighting rights, the cadets were given their ranks of 4th Class and their upperclassmen were promoted with their respective positions.

One of the highlights of the night was the ringhop ceremony, in which the 1st Class cadets were given the bullring which symbolizes their commitment and loyalty to the Corps and the organization, much like how in a wedding, a couple would wear a ring to symbolize their commitment and devotion to each other.

The successful event showed that the ROTC isn’t just about the training and the hardwork that the members of the Cadet Corps do, it is also about loyalty and chivalry, and reaping hard earned rewards sown with seeds of passion and determination.

“Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the GSC President intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle.”

“Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first girl, she's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second girl, miss her entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog.“

“I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho, lasses!" the grape shot shreds two girls in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.”

“Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. She bleeds out waiting on Valkyrie to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.“

“Just as the GSC President intended.“

“...what the fuck?”

Golf Skate Caddy has been the frontrunner in single rider cart design and technology since 2014, offering innovative features and benefits specifically for today’s highly mobile and wired golfers. The company will be launching its latest model, the new GSC V3 at this year’s Show.

Golf Skate Caddy holds any size golf bag and provides a variety of conveniences like holders for golf balls, tees, scorecard, divot repair bottle, smart phone, mobile devices and more. The unit easily collapses for personal use and portability.

“Golf Skate Caddy is proud to have perfected the safest, most reliable single-rider golf cart on the market,” said Kenny Koldenhoven, co-owner and vice-president of Golf Skate Caddy USA. “Golf Skate Caddy’s parent company, FIIK, based in Australia, is the world leader in electric skateboards. Having revolutionized the skateboarding industry over a decade ago with premium quality, extreme performance engineering standards, Golf Skate Caddy has brought the same award-winning technology and fun to single rider golf carts and the golf industry.”
