#Primary Ka Master

[phalangemedes]

CAMPAL LIT ANAL 🔥🔥🔥

To start off with, a personalised character debrief, of sorts, so the nonsense I'm about to spout stems from my known perception of them rather than just inherent batshit:

PALAMEDES SEXTUS: Tall ergo mouse faced man with the jokes and no brain shut off button. Burdened with gifted kid ego AND gifted kid guilt. Disabled even for a necromancer (not genetic turbo cancer for the nuke blast creation of thanergy but allergies, aerospace thick specs, lingering hint of the 'tism (social cues whomst, Mr that evil nun who thinks I'm a murderer is now my BEST FRIEND. Decided he was going to marry a girl because he liked that she was puzzley. His life partner is low emotive and he's never noticed.) (RE:marry Dulci the man is a glutton for a hyperfixation. 12 years and he's like 'we'll be married, Cam's my best man, I love them')). Bred for necromantic psychometry and groomed for Wardenhood (I used "groomed" because he was a literal child when they lauded his intellect as sufficient enough to egregiously test him to see if he was worthy of the title of Master Warden (spoilers, a 13 year old is a tiny baby child, no matter how cute, clever OR smug they are) This neatly slots into the "gifted kid" issues in that his parents ALLOWED this to happen, nay, encouraged it as an accolade. So I wouldn't say he was actively abused, but neither was he "cared" for, which is prime reason as to why he latched onto the only emotionally available peer AND was self sacrificial to a scary fault (re: ka-boom)

CAMILLA HECT: Tall TANK with too much inside to contain without fidget. Burdened with an inferiority complex 20 miles wide and a dunces hat of imposter syndrome. (Some of this is that The Sixth don't really respect swordhands, some of it is that in the capacity they DO respect it, she isn't ranked the most highly (RE: Not an Alexandrite. I assume Epeids? Cause she will class herself as competent and I think the Sixth aren’t stupid enough to put her in the spec ed class once she’s a Cav Prime.) Low EXTERNAL emotion, high energy, Palamedes is patently the words and she's happy with that. (As we go through HtN and NtN it reads more and more like alexithymia, more so when she just finally bursts the fuck into tears). Focuses a little too hard on being "useful", to the point and beyond of harm/self harm. Treats loyalty in a similar manner. A 0% or 100% kinda bitch. Close with her sister, but NOT her fathers, which is an interesting one because we have minimal backstory on that one, but it very much READ as a "forbidden" thing to be with Palamedes not just in the act of lyctorhood ascension but a 'They never understood' way. So her choosing to be Cavalier Primary was her choice AGAINST the wishes of other, societally and inter-familially.

ADDENDUM to Cam: She is a Carer, not in a motherly carer role, a Carer with a capital C. She cares for those with disadvantages in a MANNER I have witnessed IN the caring profession. This is MOST notable in the dynamics with Nona but she does the same with Pal. Where Pyrrha gives Nona fun dad treatment, with no less care, and Palamedes is the voice of gentle reason, consent and options, Cam is loving enforcement and active encouragement. It’s a theme. I’d like it highlit to those of you that have never had one or interacted in what is a COMPLICATED dynamic, a Carer is not a SERVITOR, they are a companion, they see you at your weakest and tackle ills with compassion. Is it a CHOSEN role.

Likewise Cam being raised female and not necromantically inclined (on planet eugenics and Your Eggs Are So Useful To Us BabyGirl) has just had humility beaten into her, but there are various places (Dr Sex coming to mind the most vividly, Pal trusting her with reconstruction of his skeleton, him trusting her opinion on things HE is looking at necromantically) where she is AS bright as him, but is not afforded the same societal perks as him as a necro.

tl;dr

Golden boy brain box who is struggling to live up to it, doing anything to be Good Enough. Held together by Cam's trust in him.

Black sheep who is struggling to perceive herself as worthy, doing anything to be Good Enough. Held together by Pal's faith in her.

Cool, we got it? ONWARD.

GENDER; PERCEPTIONS AND CHANGES:

Pre-Canaan through Canaan:

Palamedes Sextus, Master Warden of The Sixth House is a seeker of knowledge, his pronouns are forgot/to/eat (j/k.) I don't think he perceives himself as much of anything, until he's forced to. He is a man as The Master Warden and for Dulcinea, but I wonder how much of that is the "breeding program" ethos of the Sixth and how much of that is his OWN perception of himself because he's not a TRADITIONAL feeling man, even compared to other men in the canon. When I joke he's a he/him lesbian it's because he FEELS, not female, but feminine. In how he interacts with space and people, with the touchy-feeliness, with the way he expresses himself vociferous and poetically. 'Male' to him seems to be a mantle he wears above the neutrality of who he is and the femininity of his affections.

Camilla Hect, Hand of the Library, is a swordswoman and a cavalier and a hand. Cam is beautifully ungendered, but not in the same way as Palamedes is more of a... I feel like she'd be shocked to be told there's a binary? Just generally. She's practical, but butch, she's just Camilla. A she/her in the same way as a ship or a car. Not like a mother but like a deity -- and THAT is from Palamedes' perception of her. If he's a good boy, she's the Goddess he lays his altar out for. She’s not a ‘woman’ for anyone, not her house, not him. I think that’s important.

New-Rho:

I know there're alotta trans allegories here, but I'm gunna be a party pooper and say this is QUEER but not trans, not because it doesn't follow the path but because I don't think there is a Tomb binary to start with. There's a fluidity and flux IRL doesn't have (because people like their lil ticky boxes). And Pal doesn't feel different IN Cam, he feels the same. More him. He's more outwardly affectionate, he's more fussy and stroppy. He's him but Settled. I think he likes being whatever he is as Camilla. I think because he always liked Cam more.

Cam remains Cam. And I am delighted with this because Palamedes' influence within AND without is the same? I fucking love this woman, she popped out the womb like this and she's just keeping on trucking. Someone thinks she's a sex worker? Unfussed. Someone thinks she's fucking Crown? Mild distaste but that's more on the fact Corona is a biiitch. Dual daddying with Pyrrha? It's a TITLE, Cam seems to like titles. Maybe that's what it is, Camilla's self expression is a list of titles given to her by those who love her. The only one she’s picked for herself is Cavalier.

PAUL:

LEAST they/them they/them in the world. OBSESSED with them, they have the feminine energy that Palamedes carries but in Cam's body?? But the siege weapon threat of Cam?? Obsessed to get to know them more. I sense I shall kiss them on the mouth.

THEM AS CHARACTER ARCHETYPES VS "PEOPLE":

I think in part some of the issue with Palamedes and Camilla is how, on the whole, they seem to have been type cast as Male Boss and Female Minion. Because a tall dude with some authority and a quiet woman are put together and people get weird about that. (Even IRL. ‘Which one of you’s the fork?’ well firstly, she’s the knife, SECONDLY… that’s my tall glass of baby girl that speaks in a countertenor)

And this is a two fold issue:

THE FIRST: The Necromancer and Cavalier dynamic as portrayed by Muir.

It's seen as crass to dick down your cavalier (From Abigail and Magnus, through to Judith and Marta with canonical romantic refusal and LATTERLY Judith's SECONDARY canonical refusal of Coronabeth. Interestingly I don't see much shit about Isaac and Jeannemary but that's another hillock to rot on.).

But that doesn't seem to be the main issue WITHIN FANDOM or (more) people would be coming for Abigail and her lovely ottery meat shield.

Or Griddlehark.

Harrow and Gideon are lauded as the greatest romance of all time and the power dynamic there is TRULY whack. (affectionate)

Heir to the throne and indentured slave?

Necromancer made of a bajillion babies and a Base Level Not-Even-Squaddie.

Abuser and abused.

FORCED cavalier and necro?

Witness and sacrifice.

Even if you view them as a complicated sister dynamic... there are ABUNDANT issues there and a staggering co-dependancy that plays out in a sapphic lobotomy. So we have a base line of what, in the Nine Houses, classifies as a Fuckin' Ride Or Die of a relationship.

(this is without the fact that the NORM is for a baby to be specifically born for a Necromancer. Either RE:The manyfold uncles or like Babs being chosen as a zygote. Which do I have to explain how eugenics and baby-promises are worse than two people choosing each other or NAH?)

THE SECOND: People see a man and a woman and they give them preordained gender roles, which they then do some A/B/O level gymnastics to make them negatively fit into the necro and cav dynamic. It's funny because they're grey librarians who look like librarians. They look similar, they act similar but for some reason the fact Cam has tits gets some WILD hottakes.

(My favourite (said with spite and loathing) was someone asking if Cam fancied Harrow because she let Nona touch her… I.. I just??? She was letting Nona express herself in a safe way, Nona, who is a VULNERABLE ADULT with sensory issues. (yes this was reddit how did you guess))

Which.. is peculiar when you think of how we meet them, in an investigative role where they are immediately, companionably mocking each other? Where, out the gate, Cam lunges to protect Pal and as quickly as that happens he calls her back to protect her?

The Cavalier is there to protect the Necromancer. And yet he is IMMEDIATELY portrayed as a shield.

There's also an inherent, and non-canonically spoken of trust about what Pal EXPECTS of Camilla. It starts off with her with the rapier and how although adept with it, it is not her main skillset. And it's played against the bum rush way Gideon had to give in the two hander, but it's also, OBVIOUSLY, something Camilla has done forever and a day. So their roles are already non-traditional, with the basics of 'your cavalier should be your sword' cause girly pop let his barn door have two because she patently WANTED THEM.

Likewise, when hoorah boot clack salute, stick up her arse, repressed lesbo challenges them for their keys Cam is hot to go, but she waits for him to catch up. And he was erring on denial, he was erring on losing KNOWLEDGE, which is his main gain from any situation, to make sure she didn't get injured. But he puts her in that fight for HER HONOUR first, not his, not the Sixth's, Camilla Hect.

When she's injured, other than a brief moment of being a catty princess to Jody and Marta who lol DESERVED, he CHECKS Cam. He's frightened, he's fretting, he just wants her to not have been stabbed quite a lot, and PATENTLY blames himself. He is a PHYSIOLOGICALLY ADEPT necromancer and he FEARS for her injury, because of the pain not the complications of healing. It's an obvious show of how he perceives her as an extension of himself but NOT a tool.

Likewise, the only thing Pal ever did wrong and honestly, Dulci you aquatic-bint your way out of that river and give him a SLAP, was that he left her when he went to nuke Cytherea. He did it as a kindness, he didn't want her to see, he THOUGHT he did the right thing. And he didn't, and there wasn't a right thing, but oh my god dude.

He acted like a cavalier to guarantee her safety.

And I see a lot of 'oh well he did it cause he was upset about Dulci' like?? Cytherea SPOKE to them about the Avulsion trial. He had to look "Dulcinea" in the eye when she asked him to siphon Cam. Do you not think he wasn't already turbo pissed off? Hurt? Upset? Do you not think he was already mourning her, that he chose Cam over her, because he said “no”?

Which is a good segue into 'Paul is problematic'. First up, buckle up my darling little babies, spiritual cannibalism isn't exactly a fuckin' jolly holly time anyway, cause it was made by a man with the moral compass of a rabid wolverine and tits covered in biscuit crumbs.

At no point does Palamedes not feel dreadful for squatting inside Camilla. He is the (un)embodiment of a nervous friend sitting on a mostly full sofa trying to make himself as small as possible and wincing whenever he accidentally touches someone. He is there ONLY because it's what she wanted. And we know that because they discuss it, PRIVATELY, and it overheard by Nona. He also offers Cam the choice, they keep going as they are, or they do something else. But it is together, whatever they do is together. And she chooses to not suffer alone. And that some a y'all shit on that is a choice.

Harrow TBI's herself to not lose Gideon, but when two people enter into togetherness with consent it's a no?? They had a big ol’ adult chat (or 50 off screen, who knows, babygirl can’t shut up so I imagine it was more) and there’s booing and hissing.

Wah wah they're co-dependent it's not healthy, SURE, but it’s extreme circumstances, it's grimdark space heresy. Cam is a victim of torture, starvation and other such New Rho hells. Palamedes was in the purgatory of river isolation post suicide and his only hope of survival was Cam. They are the reason the other kept going. Paul is them keeping going, Paul is their promise to the other that it'll be okay, because they're there. Yes, they're co-dependent but they are each other's reason for being.

Even in the real world, when everything is subterranean, sewer level shit, you are told to find a reason to keep going. It can be a concert in a few months, or your ageing cat, it can be your mother or your tomato plants. And it's not long term, but THEY don't have long term.

And they BOTH chose. Palamedes had no promise of what would happen once he was booted back out of Babs, did he go back in Cam and risk her soul, or did he try another body? Was he already compromised by Tridentarii taint? But he was willing, if it was for her.

Likewise she was at the precipice of a wound that really needed a necromancers attention (look how BoE left Judith, like jesus colostomy christ the woman is a menace but shoving a carrier bag in her then blood letting her to refuel your stolen tesla is rough guys). It needed HER necromancers attention. And that wasn't happening. And she couldn't take not having him any more.

And they didn't go into it blind, The Sixth as a house patently had more knowledge on the melange of souls than most (via all the secrecy that was shared with BoE etcetc), and Pal had just learnt more, first hand, shoved up inside Naberius feeling their edges bleed together. And they had felt what it was to be Them before. They BOTH experienced that, like, blood-sweat and worried daddy lap aside, they both knew it would hurt her, and I have no doubt it cut Palamedes up, but it ate some of him too. 'Oh it hurt her more' my DUDE the man was already bone dust and fuck all else all that COULD be hurt WAS hurt.

THIRDLY (I realise there was not initially three points but there sure fucking is now LESSGO):

SACRIFICE. I've seen it said, repeatedly, they have an uneven power dynamic because Cam 'sacrifices' herself for him.

WELL. Let's break that down with a direct comparison.

Gideon Nav, a woman who had never been loved, but had sometimes been useful, sacrificed herself for a chance to die with the knowledge of being wanted. She knew and wanted to be eaten, absorbed, nothing more than her sword. This was seen as a rejection by Harrow for reasons even GIDEON was aware of, poor kid.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, woman who, understandably, thinks she's cursed as all fuck, refused to take the sacrifice of Another Body and in the process made Gideon think she was being rejected. I think she is less aware, but not totally unaware. And it was in desperation. And she is so young, they both are, they were scared and staring at a bone wall or forever death.

But my point is their togetherness, no matter how complete, was born of VIOLENCE and the eradication of one of them, the violence of need, of desperation to belong, to not be torn from the one consistent point in their lives : each other.

Camilla Hect saw the buckshot shrapnel of her life partner embedded in Canaan's masonry (this is an actual sacrifice, he sacrificed himself for her safety) and chose to take the red string of fate and GANK IT until she got Palamedes back. Because they had a (theoretically possible) predetermined get-out-of-jail-free plan for if something took him first. They planned to never be apart, this was one plan of many.

And Palamedes Sextus, for his part, did everything he could to keep them safe, keep her safe, to make sure, even in the end, they would be together in the safest, sanest way possible. He dredged her from death both times they were shot, he sewed her back together from within the cage of her body. He resurrected them. He was a god FOR them, so they could stay them.

Was it actually safe and sane? Compared to gutty stabs and being consumed by a IANTHE, honestly, yeah.

Was it ideal? No, but it was better than death.

They lived, together. Discussed it, chose it.

If Palamedes is Decisive Consent and Camilla is Patient Protection, Paul is a Conversation with a lil line of kisses at the bottom. They're not made from love, they're made from necessity, but they are born BECAUSE of love, gentility. The difference between rabid hunger after suffering food scarcity and spending 14 hours cooking a meal for someone you love. They are both acts of consumption, but the tone is so vastly different.

✨anyway yeah hi I fucking love Cam and Pal and this is the hill I've chosen to climb and repeatedly die on✨

(I'd like to postface this with I love ALL these characters, I slag them off with the love of literary analysis, and none of them ever did anything wrong they are my tiny angel baby war crimes whom i wub them a normal amount.

...And I'm not getting the books out to quote shit so you're gunna have to embrace the Vibes.<3)

(shout out to @grievingbovine this is (partially) their fault *heart hands*)

2 for the wip game

Thanks for the ask! Ooo... my darkest fic (so far). This one's in pieces at the moment, but here's a bit of it, set not long after Zelda seals Ganon in the castle, allowing Revali a moment of clarity after his possession. I'm going to put it below the cut cause there's some possible triggers in here (and it's a little long). CW: vomiting, implied/suggested rape metaphor. This clip is rated M for Mature, you have been warned!

Revali collapses to his knees and falls over, just barely holding himself up with his shaking wings.  The Malice falls from him in clumps, each one making a sickening splattering sound as they hit Medoh’s back.  Suddenly his insides clench, and he hurls for a full minute.

Once that unpleasantness is over, he can hear the thrum of Medoh’s propellers, the hum of the control panel, the sound of wind.  Goddess, he can feel the wind blowing through his feathers!  He can sense the wind currents…  He can see again, through his own eyes!

Fuck! Everything hurts so much!  He has a horrible taste in his mouth…  He stares at the black filth that just came out of his body, staining Medoh’s back.  He can feel how matted his feathers are…  Shit, he can’t fly like this!  The demon’s filth is caked around the base of his beak, his nares, his ears, his…

Revali sobs upon realizing how thoroughly he’s been violated.  He’d retch again, but there’s absolutely nothing left inside him now…

“Master, please hurry!  We don’t have much time!”

Revali looks behind himself, that THING has collapsed into a puddle of filth and scraps of Ancient Sheikah tech.  If he was armed, he’d shoot every bomb arrow he had into that pile, but alas he dropped the precious bow his maternal uncle gave him, and he has no arrows at all.

“What should I do?” he says in a weak, pathetic voice not fitting of the Champion of the Rito.  Goddess what a disgrace he is!

“Get to my control panel!  Hurry!”

In spite of the excruciating pain he’s in, Revali succeeds in pushing himself to his feet.  He slowly stumbles his way to the control panel, one agonizing step at a time.

“You’re doing good Master.  Keep it up!”

“Don’t patronize me!”

Suddenly, a Rito woman of the Orni Tribe appears before him!  She has the usual slightly curved beak, but her feathers are black and… gold?  Wait, why doesn’t she have beak markings?  Every Rito has ultraviolet markings on their beaks, unique to the individual!

Never mind that!  How did she just materialize in front of him?  Is this a hallucination?  Has he lost the last bit of sense that he had?

Wait…  Her braids…  The frame holding them is adorned with Vah Medoh’s emblem!  Her eyes… that blue glow…

“Vah Medoh?!”

The woman speaks, confirming that she is in fact a project of Vah Medoh’s…  Spirit?   “Since you are being stubborn, I shall have to switch tactics,” her feathers bristle, “Get off your tail feathers and get to that control panel now!”

She points at it and while Revali’s in no mood to be sassed by HIS Divine Beast, he complies and heads that way as best he can.  Time’s running out, he can hear the Malice behind him beginning to gurgle again.

“You are almost there,” she attempts to reassure him, “Just keep going, one foot in front of the other.”

He snaps, “I know how to walk!”

He trips, but manages to catch himself on the edge of the control panel and pulls himself up.

“What now?”

Vah Medoh’s projection walks up to him, “We need to lock Windblight out of my systems before it regains its strength.”

“Windblight?”

“It is what Primary Target calls his creation.”

Well, the name certainly fits it…  But, “You can’t call it something else?”

Medoh’s projection tilts her head, “Why?”

“I,” Revali’s voice cracks, “…I’d rather not personify that…  abomination!”

She suddenly looks very… sad.  “I see,” she replies gently, “Very well.  Secondary Target is recovering and we are currently heading straight for Torikirika (Toe-re-key-ri-ka).”

[Torikirika is the Rito name for Rito Village BTW]

Studio Singing Microphone Kaise Select Kare: Ek Comprehensive Guide

A studio singing microphone is the most critical tool for any singer who wants to record professional-quality vocals. Whether you're an aspiring artist starting your journey or an experienced vocalist refining your craft, choosing the right microphone can make all the difference in your recordings. This article will guide you through the process of selecting the perfect microphone while integrating the focus keywords: sangeet kaise sikhe, studio singing microphone, and their synonyms.

1. Sangeet Kaise Sikhe aur Studio Singing Microphone ka Mahatva

Before diving into microphone selection, it's essential to understand the importance of a good microphone in learning and mastering singing. When you're learning music (or wondering sangeet kaise sikhe), recording yourself during practice sessions is invaluable. Listening to your own voice critically helps identify areas of improvement, such as pitch control, tonal clarity, and voice projection. A high-quality studio singing microphone ensures that your recordings are clear and true to your natural voice.

2. Microphone Ki Prakar: Dynamic aur Condenser

The first step in selecting a studio singing microphone is understanding the two primary types: dynamic and condenser microphones.

Dynamic Microphones: These are robust and versatile, ideal for live performances or loud sound sources like instruments. However, they lack the sensitivity needed for detailed vocal recordings. If you're at the beginner stage and still exploring sangeet kaise sikhe, dynamic microphones may be an affordable starting point for practice recordings.

Condenser Microphones: These are the gold standard for studio recordings, offering superior sensitivity and capturing intricate vocal details. Whether you’re recording Indian classical, pop, or any other genre, condenser microphones are the best choice for achieving professional-quality sound.

3. Budget Considerations

One of the first questions to ask is your budget. There are excellent options for studio singing microphones in every price range. Here are some suggestions based on affordability:

Entry-Level Microphones (₹5,000 - ₹15,000): If you're just starting your music journey and wondering sangeet kaise sikhe, microphones like the Audio-Technica AT2020 or the Samson C01 are budget-friendly yet offer good quality.

Mid-Range Microphones (₹15,000 - ₹50,000): For aspiring professionals, models like the Rode NT1 or the Blue Yeti Pro provide exceptional performance at a reasonable price.

High-End Microphones (₹50,000+): Advanced learners and professionals can invest in models like the Neumann TLM 103 or AKG C414, which deliver studio-quality results.

4. Polar Patterns: Kaunsa Microphone Pattern Best Hai?

When selecting a studio singing microphone, consider the polar pattern—this determines how the microphone picks up sound:

Cardioid: Ideal for solo vocal recordings as it captures sound from the front while minimizing background noise.

Omnidirectional: Picks up sound equally from all directions, which is great for group vocals or natural ambiance but may not suit isolated vocal recordings.

Bidirectional (Figure-8): Captures sound from the front and back, suitable for duet recordings.

For most individuals learning sangeet kaise sikhe, cardioid microphones are the most practical option as they focus solely on your voice.

5. Frequency Response aur Vocal Style

Your vocal range and style also play a role in microphone selection. If you're learning classical music and focusing on intricate nuances, choose a microphone with a flat frequency response for accurate reproduction. For genres like pop or rock, microphones that enhance the mid or high frequencies can make your voice stand out.

6. Accessories and Setup

Even the best studio singing microphone won’t perform well without proper accessories. Here’s what you’ll need:

Pop Filter: Reduces harsh popping sounds caused by plosive consonants like 'P' and 'B.'

Shock Mount: Isolates the microphone from vibrations and handling noise.

Microphone Stand: Ensures stable positioning during recording.

Audio Interface: Connects the microphone to your computer and ensures clean sound input.

These accessories are crucial for anyone trying to record while exploring sangeet kaise sikhe at home.

7. Compatibility with Recording Environment

Your recording environment plays a critical role in how your studio singing microphone performs. If your room isn’t acoustically treated, opt for microphones that minimize ambient noise. Using a portable vocal booth or foam shields can also help in achieving better sound quality.

8. Famous Brands for Studio Singing Microphones

When searching for the best microphones, consider trusted brands known for quality and reliability. Some popular brands include:

Shure: Known for both live and studio microphones like the SM7B.

Audio-Technica: Offers a variety of options for beginners and professionals.

Rode: Renowned for affordable yet high-quality condenser microphones.

Neumann: The preferred choice for top-tier professional studios.

9. Demo Karke Kharidna Hai Zaroori

Finally, whenever possible, test the microphone before purchasing it. Different microphones suit different voice types, so ensure that the one you choose complements your voice. Visit a music store or borrow microphones from fellow musicians to experiment.

10. Conclusion

Choosing the right studio singing microphone is an investment in your music career. Whether you’re a beginner figuring out sangeet kaise sikhe or an advanced singer working on your next track, the perfect microphone enhances your voice's natural qualities. By considering factors like budget, polar patterns, and accessories, you’ll be well-equipped to make an informed decision. Start small if you're just learning, but as your skills grow, don’t hesitate to upgrade to a professional microphone to truly showcase your talent.

Invest wisely, and let your voice resonate with clarity and emotion!

Diabolos Est Machina Part 3: I, For One, Welcome Our Mechanical Overlords

Special thanks to my sister, who helped inspire me to do this series.

Oh yeah, there's also going to be spoilers for Mobile Fighter G Gundam.

IT'S WHAT WE WANTED ALL ALONG!!!

Sorry. Welcome back to Diabolos Est Machina. Last time, we covered some examples of autonomous characters in the world of fiction. And today, dear readers, we can finally talk about the actual subject of this series: the JDG-00X Devil Gundam. Specifically, we're going to look at what the Devil Gundam was made for, what happens to it, and, most importantly, who is responsible for the machine. Hopefully this little exercise will highlight the point of ethics in AI.

So with all that, Gundam Fight! Ready, GO!!!

More Than a Weapon

In order to understand the ethics behind the Devil Gundam, we must first understand what this machine is capable of. That's easy enough, as the Devil Gundam has three primary principles behind its powers:

The ability to self-repair: The Devil Gundam is capable of repairing itself from damage.

The ability to self-replicate: The Devil Gundam can pass off its properties via DG Cells.

The ability to self-evolve: The Devil Gundam can upgrade any being affected by the DG Cells.

It should also be noted that the Devil Gundam is largely autonomous, complete with all the works. It has computer vision, and even if it is an extremely fantastical version of it, the Devil Gundam does also possess some kind of general artificial intelligence that stems largely from it's ability to self-evolve.

And if you're thinking "Why would anyone make a machine like that," that's because the Devil Gundam was originally made for the altruistic purpose (though why this thing has vulcans is beyond me) of rebuilding an Earth ravaged by war. It should then be of no surprise when you find out that the Devil Gundam was originally named the Ultimate Gundam.

Paradise Lost

How could this happen, one might ask? How does a machine originally created for rebuilding the world end up trying to destroy it? Well it certainly helps when people with ill intentions want it for their own nefarious deeds. And all it takes is one useful idiot to get things rolling.

See, the Devil Gundam was developed in secret by Dr Raizo Kasshu and his older son Kyoji, but they were ultimately ratted out to the Japanese government by a jealous Dr Mikamura (the useful idiot I was talking about). In a scramble to keep it out of the hands of the government, Raizo orders Kyoji to take the Ultimate Gundam and flee to Earth, which the latter ultimately relents to doing. This results in the Ultimate Gundam crash-landing on Earth and more or less kills Kyoji. Kind of. It's weird.

The important thing to note is that the crash-landing causes the Ultimate Gundam to malfunction, turning it into the Devil Gundam we all know. Of course, now we have the Japanese government searching for it via the younger Kasshu son Domon (who is gaslit into thinking Kyoji is responsible for kidnapping the Devil Gundam). And of course, over the course of the series you also get THE UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST, MASTER ASIA and Neo Hong Kong Prime Minister Wong Yunfat also looking for it for their own purposes. What was once a tool to help humanity fix a destroyed Earth would soon become an object that others would seek out for the purpose of destroying the Earth.

When the Devil Gundam Kills, Who's At Fault?

So this begs the question: who is at fault when it comes to the Devil Gundam running rampant? If you think the answer is the Japanese Government, you're correct!

Except not quite.

We are right to believe that the Japanese government is at fault for the Devil Gundam causing as much destruction as it does. Not helping things is the fact that an ultranationalist like Ulube Ishikawa played a major part in all of this, as his endgame was to use the Devil Gundam for world domination. And yes, Ulube specifically is at fault separate from the Japanese government.

Dr Kasshu is also at fault for making such a system in the first place, as is Dr Mikamura for getting the Japanese government involved. Prime Minister Wong also shares some fault as he has the remains of the Devil Gundam dug up from the Guyana Highlands and brought to Neo Hong Kong. Heck, THE UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST, MASTER ASIA even shares some blame since he also attempts to use the Devil Gundam as a weapon of mass destruction.

If anything, the only person who you could argue is not responsible for the Devil Gundam is Kyoji, and him being mostly dead is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. He did assist his dad in making it, but that's about where his involvement with the Devil Gundam begins and ends.

And if you think this is just me spinning my gears... well it is.

Conclusion

Jokes aside, it is important to talk about these kinds of things when it comes to AI ethics. Trying to figure out who is responsible for these systems requires us to look into who is responsible. Of course, the end of G Gundam has both Dr Kasshu and Chairman Karato (the series stand-in for the Japanese government), the only parties mentioned above that are alive, eventually take full responsibility for the Devil Gundam. The point of this exercise is to understand why ethics in AI is so important. Granted, I feel like most of the people reading this are also well aware of this problem due to the recent plague of generative AI. I do think it is important though for everyone to remember who is responsible for any AI system. I hope this has been informative, even if I rushed it mostly to meet an imagined deadline of Halloween night. Thank you for reading, and happy Halloween!

Japan is a fascinating country with a rich cultural heritage and unique linguistic landscape. While Japan does not have an "official language" per se, Japanese is the de facto national language and is spoken by the vast majority of the population. In addition to Japanese, there are regional dialects and minority languages such as Ainu and Ryukyuan, though these are less commonly spoken. This linguistic homogeneity plays a significant role in shaping the cultural and social dynamics of Japan.

A lingua franca is a language that is used as a common means of communication between speakers of different native languages. English, for example, has become a global lingua franca, facilitating communication in international business, travel, and diplomacy. The widespread use of English as a lingua franca can have a significant impact on communication in Japan. In urban areas and with younger generations who are more likely to have studied English, using English can greatly enhance one’s ability to communicate effectively. However, in rural areas or with older individuals, proficiency in Japanese is crucial for effective communication.

When traveling to Japan, knowing a few basic phrases in Japanese can be immensely helpful. Here are some essential words and their pronunciations:

Hello! こんにちは (Konnichiwa)

Yes はい (Hai)

No いいえ (Iie)

Please お願いします (Onegaishimasu)

Thank You ありがとう (Arigatou)

Can you help me? 助けてくれますか？ (Tasukete kuremasu ka?)

I don't understand わかりません (Wakarimasen)

I don't speak Japanese 日本語が話せません (Nihongo ga hanasemasen)

My name is [Your Name] 私の名前は[Your Name]です (Watashi no namae wa [Your Name] desu)

Some of these phrases, especially those with long vowel sounds and different pitch accents, may be challenging for non-native speakers. For instance, the phrase "Onegaishimasu" has a specific pitch accent that can be difficult to master. However, learning these basic phrases demonstrates respect for the local culture and can greatly enhance the travel experience. Understanding and using these phrases can also break down barriers and facilitate more meaningful interactions with locals.

Technology has revolutionized the way people communicate across language barriers. Translation apps like Google Translate provide instant translations of text, which can be particularly useful when navigating foreign websites. For example, consider the following paragraph from a Japanese tourism website:

Original Japanese Paragraph: 観光客に人気のあるスポットには、美しい寺院や神社、歴史的な城、そして賑やかな都市があります。訪れる場所ごとに異なる魅力があり、日本の多様な文化を楽しむことができます。

Google Translate English Translation: Popular spots for tourists include beautiful temples and shrines, historic castles, and bustling cities. Each place you visit has its own unique charm, allowing you to enjoy Japan's diverse culture.

The translation is fairly accurate, but nuances in meaning and cultural context may sometimes be lost. This example demonstrates that while technology is a valuable tool, it cannot fully replace the depth of understanding that comes from learning a language. Subtleties such as cultural references, idiomatic expressions, and contextual meanings often require a deeper linguistic and cultural comprehension.

The phrase "language influences our view of reality" underscores the idea that the language we speak shapes our perception and interpretation of the world. For instance, Japanese has many honorifics and levels of politeness that reflect the cultural importance of respect and social hierarchy. The use of different levels of politeness can convey the speaker’s relationship to the listener and the social context of the conversation. Understanding these linguistic subtleties can provide deeper insights into Japanese culture and improve cross-cultural communication.

In conclusion, while Japanese is the primary language spoken in Japan, having some knowledge of basic phrases can greatly enhance the travel experience. English serves as a useful lingua franca, particularly in more cosmopolitan areas. New technologies like translation apps are helpful, but they do not replace the cultural richness that comes from learning a language. By understanding how language shapes our reality, we can better appreciate and navigate the complexities of communication in different cultural contexts. Learning key phrases and understanding linguistic nuances can help travelers connect more deeply with the local culture and create more meaningful experiences.

Branded dogma

(power system, characters, species, areas and cities)

In the world of branded dogma (or as its world is called, camakol (Ka-Ma-Coal)) each being is born with a sigil on a part of their body, the sigil takes the shape of a circle with a capital Y in it. This sigil allows a person to access the flow of magic which is composed of three primary forces (destruction, manifestation, and melding)

The flow of magic can itself not be tampered with, the amount of access a person has to it can be, this is done by a contracting with spirits, beasts, or dragons due to their higher amount of magic emitting from them. 

The Species of camakol Are divided into 7

Igniants. Spirits of smoke and ash that are volatile in both temper and personality. They use modified mechanical skeletons that are able to transform into rockets to contain their physical form less they get blown away. Constantly seeking the thrill of fire and destruction they have mainly abandoned any form of monarch and become pirates of their home land. The golden sea, mors desert.

Draknians or dragons. These beings look similar to humans minus their charcoal black skin, white hair, and their magma blood. These creatures have mastered each form of magic and have been able to merge with anything they desire to merge with. They are truly marvelous beasts of magic which is why a group of humans worship them.

Humans. Humans are said to be the children of elves after their fall. Humans are tenacious and able to grow and adapt quickly, perhaps due to the loss of their longer lifespan. Humans despite this have rather small reserves of magic, only enough for one type of their choice. Humans have made many kingdoms and some have made peace treaties with certain species. 

Jewymphs. These are spirits that compose of ice water and jewels, are species that are able to weave the flow of magic via songs. Depending on the tone they could bring ruin or joy. Hence why humans have sealed them to the bottom of the vast green sea of jadus as the queen diamux seeks to freedom from their watery tomb.

Raimei’s. These beings that descend from the ever gray clouds of their home, Atlasia are tricksters. They are led by their “gods”. Thungaking, lighragking, and inferguking. These three brothers leader species to seek out their desires of bringing joy and worship to their gods. Which has led to their friendship with humans.

Regulisers. Beings that are consumed by a permanent lycanthropy their matted fur, fangs, and claws, make them absolute beasts of might as their souls are permanently left with the power of destruction. These creatures despite their appearance, are still allied with humans.

Lyonius. These are humanoid creatures that have feline features and range in variety, from lynx, tigers, lions, all the way to calicos. These beings are rather friendly with humans and regulisers as they mingle with each species and are incredible at many forms of arts, ranging from painting, to dancing.

Characters.

Ryuga: age 100 (or 20 in human years). a Draknian with amnesia. He has no memory of his last only knowing how to use his sigil as he can immediately merge with anything he desires by pumping his magic into melding as he enters his true dragon state with a enhancement due to the combined material.

Emilia: age 23. the first person to encounter ryuga as he landed in her peoples home city ashcadia. She is one of the 10 commander battle priests. She is a master of manifestation magic as she has learned how to heal her allies aswell as make her signature great sword.

A large mass of hulking Mech suit that is able to fire missiles from its hands and back as well as allowing the combustion of of brigar to be turned into a flaming shock that can be released without destroying the suit. The second form is a much smaller Mech that transforms into a rocket. Despite these two forms he actually has a myriad of the latter saved inside the former suit.

Kathy: age 21. a tiger Lyonius who's fiery passion for machinery has led her being able to create new suits from the leftover remains of brigar’s much smaller Mech suits. Her deep understanding of machinery has allowed her to use the power of the igniants to create living weapons that ryuga can use as well as fuse with. She is also the most… inept person of the party as she lacks social skills which her older sister frigit tried teach her but Kathy constantly refused. She also does cat and explosion puns… to mixed results.

1. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙋𝘼 𝙇𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙀𝙭𝙖𝙢 𝙎𝙮𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙪𝙨

The CPA Licensure Exam syllabus is the map of the battle field. You must, at a minimum, have an idea on each of those listed topics there for each subject. If you think you are zero knowledge on a topic, do personal research (online materials, books, original sources like laws, regulations; standards) When I say master. Read, understand, be able to apply with accuracy in problem solving scenario and retain. Do not forget. Always browse back when you forget one. There are many techniques to reinforce memory retention on concepts. Ask those who made it.

Review preparation does not mean mastering the handouts of your FAMOUS review center. How are you sure they are covering the contents of the Board Exam Syllabus? The usual excuse is “This is review; we are not in the undergrad.” You have to really check if they are covering the contents of the syllabus. Do you realize the extent of required self-help if they don’t discuss some topics? The usual excuse is “Hindi iyan lalabas. Basta ito na lang tandahan.” Oh c’mon baby!

2. 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚

You have to love all subjects equally. While it is true that there are some subjects that seems to be fitting your personal instincts that you can easily connect with them, there are also subjects that seems to be allergic to your brain. Focus on your weak subjects giving priority to your weakest.

The CPA Board Exam is a war zones with six battle fronts. Yes, you do not need to win all six battles to win the war. Just make sure you are not destroyed (below 65%) in any one of them to avoid a draw (conditioned passing). That’s the point you have to guard your weak subjects.

3. 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜

Do not claim you know a topic unless you are really accurate on it. You can only say you know a topic if you can answer quizzers or reviewer books accurately without looking at suggested answers. If you often incur errors, then you are not good enough. Sharpen those concepts. Get reviewer books and keep solving problems on those topics until you are accurate.

Remember that when you sit in the board exam room. You have a 100% grade at the start of the exam. That score decreases until the end of the exam due to ERRORS. Errors occur due to lack of accuracy. The board exam is all about error minimization. Those who have the least errors are the topnotchers. Most examinees who fail the exam often can’t believe the result because they felt the exam seemed manageable. Those who are paranoid after the exam are the ones who even made it. If you think the exam seems okay, then consider the possibility of being too complacent.

4. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣

Review centers must provide technical enhancement to students or teach them zero-based if students have poor foundation. The primary job of a reviewer is technical supplementation; motivation is merely incidental. You better watch out if you are hearing purely motivationals with less technicals. The board exam is not passed by the level of your motivation or confidence but by the degree of your technical acumen. So don’t let yourself be fooled.

As a reviewee, you must have developed emotional maturity to be able to deal with unnecessary feeling of discouragement. Wala naman kwenta yang discouragement na yan eh. Bakit mo ine-entertain yang abnormal feeling na iyan kung drag lang naman sa goal mo. Are you nuts? Lol!

5. 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚�� 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚

Let me put it short. Kung magaling ka, pumunta ka sa review center ng mga magagaling na gumagamit ng quizzer-driven review methodology. Baka mag-top ka pa. Kung mahina ka, pumunta ka sa mga review center na naglelecture ng concepts. Please note that going in the wrong place is highly disastrous. You have to be truthful about assessing your abilities. It is safer to discount one’s confidence, pride or self-esteem. Your academic achievement is not a guarantee you will pass. It is not uncommon to hear cum laudes not even making it. Those who are unsure about their abilities go first to zero-based review centers then optionally refine with quizzer-driven review centers.

6. 𝘽𝙤𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙀𝙭𝙖𝙢 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙬𝙖𝙮

The shorter the runway, the harder it is to take-off. The longer it is, the easier it is to take-off. It takes time to make an accountant. The longer the preparation, the better. The rougher the runway surface, the more difficult it is to take-off. The smoother it is, the easier to take off. Meaning you have to weed out rough unknown concepts or poor skills off the way. Fix your weak points and see to it that you are good on the all topics embodied in the syllabus.

In my personal experience, one year is already good enough for a weak candidate. We prepared for our Board Exam in exactly one-year time. Despite coming from a low-key school at that time without even undergoing review with a famous review school, me and my bestfriend both made it to the top. Only two of us on our batch took the Boarad Exam. Pareho kami Top 6 lang inabot. Pero okay na kasi 100% passing rate, 100% topnotchers. Eh di waw na rin maski walang numbers! Lol!

What I wrote here embodies my belief system and personality which may not be the same with other people. I’m just sharing it in the hope it will help those striving and will give advance guidance to those who are preparing. God bless you all!

To take it back to the original topic, there is now some precedent for the Jedi Leadership keeping mum on major threats.

*SPOILERS FOR THE HIGH REPUBLIC*

For those of you who haven’t been following The High Republic Series, it is split up into three phases. One takes place around 230 BBY, two starts around 380 BBY, and 3 will return to the 230s BBY and deal with the aftermath of all of the things that happened in Phase I.

Introduced in Phase I is a bunch of vicious raiders calling themselves the Nihil. They cause major destruction to Republic worlds and installations all over the place and while the Republic and the Jedi do some major damage to their organization, they are similarly dealt some very serious defeats. Part of the reason that the Nihil are able to do this is because they have control over these:

They are called “The Nameless”, “The Levelers”, or “The Shrii-ka-rai” as they Eat The Force.

That does seem to be what their primary food source is. They come from a world that is so strong in The Force that these creatures have evolved to consume it somehow. Thaumavores. When they encounter Force Sensitives and Jedi they project hallucinations, madness, and absolutely paralyzing terror before they drain the person of their life. The victim is left a petrified husk of ash.

The thing is though, the Jedi have encountered these beasts before: in Phase II.

In 382 BBY the Jedi and Republic have a major conflict against a Terrorist Cult called The Path of the Open Hand. They “claim” that the people who use The Force are abusing it when they do and everyone should abstain. (A ridiculous idea, George Lucas created The Force for the Jedi to use and use The Right Way.) The Path graduate quickly from a series of thefts of Force related artifacts and the murder of guards and legitimate clergy to ambitions of controlling the Republic thanks to their ability to collect and control the Nameless.

The climax of this conflict is a battle on the planet Dalna called The Night of Sorrows. A devastating battle where the Jedi and a few Republic forces attempted to infiltrate or negotiate with the Path which escalated and caused tremendous casualties because the Path collected a number of the Nameless and just let them rampage. Half of the Jedi who went there to fight, died. Luckily so did almost all of the Nameless.

The highest ranking Jedi Master who fought in the whole battle was a man named Creighton Sun. He has a discussion with Yoda at the end of the book where Creighton recommended that the information on a creature which can kill Jedi en masse should be suppressed. Yoda does...acquiesce to this idea and there is almost no record of the creatures by 232 BBY when they reappear alongside the Nihil.

Apparently, a number of the Path members and leaders that survived The Night of Sorrow would go on to found the Nihil.

Phase III of the High Republic hasn’t been released yet but from what we know from other Canon works we can tell that the Nihil are defeated and the Nameless are extinct. But we get to watch things be set up for the Fall of the Republic and the Revenge of the Sith.

Do the Jedi know more then they’re letting on?

I’d like to talk about a theory I’ve been working on, regarding Jedi secrets.

I’m sure you all remember Qui-Gon Jinn getting attacked by a clearly lightsaber trained assassin, identified to the audience by that point as Darth Maul.

And presenting his (correct) theory to the Jedi High Council, upon returning to the temple on Coruscant.

At first they dismiss it, because the Sith, as noted by Ki-Adi-Mundi, AKA Jedi Master Potato-Head, the Sith were supposedly wiped out during a war a thousand years earlier. Sadly, they are forced to conclude that Jinn’s theory was correct, after his death.

Now here’s where things get sus. During the funeral, Yoda notes that there are always two Sith. Now at the time, this likely just meant that at their height, this Sith operated in master and apprentice piers, same as the Jedi. But then, as the Sith were fleshed out in expanded materials, we lead that Yoda was referring to the Rule of Two.

Established by Darth Bane, the last surviving Sith, established the Rule of Two moving forward, in order to prevent the in-fighting that hampered the Sith’s efforts against the Jedi, as well as take advantage of it, with a focus on quality over quantity.

The Rule of Two states that there shall only ever be two Sith at a time. A master and a single apprentice, who will only become a master themselves when they’re able to kill their predecessor, and then take on an apprentice of their own.

Admittedly, a few Sith Masters (most notably Palpatine/Darth Sidious) have bent this rule by training Sith Assassins, Acolytes, and Inquisitors to serve as manpower and as candidates for the next apprentice, but the Rule of Two has served as doctrine for the Sith for the last millennium.

Now the problem here is that Bane was a survivor of the aforementioned war, and therefore established the Rule of Two after the point where the Jedi believe that the Sith were driven to extinction.

So, how the hell do they know about it?!

To return to the council meeting, you’ll note that Jedi Master Potato Head-Head is the only one who outright dismisses the possibility. Mace Windu is skeptical, not of their survival, but of them returning (or becoming active again) without the Jedi noticing, while Yoda initially stays silent, before countering that the dark side might be easier to miss than Windu believes.

My theory, this isn’t the first time the Jedi have encountered the Sith in the last thousand years. Even if we assume that the Rule of Two cycle was carried out two to three times a century, that’s still between twenty and thirty Sith masters, and who knows how many failed apprentices like Maul. What are the odds that none of them had a run in with the Jedi, in all that time, that didn’t leave a Jedi survivor? What are the odds that no masters tried to corrupt a Jedi into becoming their apprentice and failed, alerting the Jedi?

Windu and Yoda are the Master of the Order and Grandmaster, respectively, which are basically the two highest positions it’s possible to reach in the Order. If anyone’s going to have access to the secrets that the Jedi Order has chosen to suppress, even from the other council members, it’s them, especially given Yoda’s long lifespan, he likely had a few firsthand experiences.

There’s been a greater examination of the Jedi’s failings and poor decisions in recent years, so their making an active effort to suppress knowledge of Sith survivors could be a prime example of a long standing example.
