Idea: Aid Nexomon
Ok so, I've been stewing on this idea for a while now after having seen some photos of Service pokemon which got me thinking: What if Service/Emotional support/Therapy Nexomon were a thing?
My working idea is that, during Novi's time (N1), these types of Nexomon were commonplace. While we may not have dex entries for them, I can see relatively most Nexomon can be trained to be either of these 3. For example, a nexomon like Basten or Chicolo may be trained to be an ESN, a Nexmon like Saxia oe Scurrel may be trained to be a therapy Nexo, while a nexomon like Golematon or Venowar could be trained to be a service Nexo. Granted, you could have any of the aforementioned Nexomon above be trained for either type of aid, so long as you put in the proper training and they meet the proper requirements (I.E age, health, and training).
(My Headcanon is that Ellie has a Golematon for a Service Nexo and that after the events of N1, she helps Novi have her Fuzztino be trained as an ESN.
However, I also imagine that once the Abyssals (and the rest tof the Tyrants hat followed) popped up and the Ascension Wars began, society got a little...less progressive, and ableism started becoming the new normal. Thankfully, Deena and the rest of The Alliance (whom I headcanon never left after their deaths due to a certain something I'll make a post on later), over the course of the last few decades, have been pushing for change as now, the Guild's never given disabled Guild Tamer's a chance. (Note: this only applies if the Tamer in question tries to join and they are disabled. Tamer's who became disabled in action are either treated as if they weren't, severely discriminated against, or flat out evicted from the Guild.) With the help of a few others, they were able to start the 'Aid Nexomon Program' (I'll come up with a better name later) with Deena being the Guild's rep since she (against Amelie's wishes) deeply advocated for it to be allowed.
And now since it's late where I am, i'm gonna leave it here and make a follow up post tomorrow

One reason we had come to Wilyi was to get vocabulary for animals found on the mainland. This is where Iwaidja people lived many years ago, before they were moved to Croker, a small island with an impoverished faunal stock. We wanted to document the Iwaidja language in all its richness, in the place where it had developed, before Government and mission decrees forced Iwaidja people off the land. Getting back to Wilyi, where the animals and the memories of them would be fresh, seemed like a good plan. Trouble was, the animals just weren’t there. Not a sign of them, and the men admitted it had been a long time since they’d seen any of them, though if you go further inland to the rock country, the larger wallabies and kangaroos are still thriving. As a backup, we’d brought a small library of guides to the marsupials of northern Australia – lavishly illustrated, with maps of their ranges. But Khaki’s and Cookie’s old eyes weren’t up to it, and Archie’s weren’t much better. Here we were, sweating it out under our flapping plastic tarp-cum-boughshade on hot Wilyi beach, getting nowhere fast. Khaki, Cookie and Archie made a fire and began a siesta under the boughshade. The afternoon lassitude was broken by the sound of a diesel engine – a rare thing in these parts – and a Toyota appeared, sporting odd modifications to its rear. A stranger stepped out – Mark Ziembicki, a biodiversity ecologist researching a PhD on dwindling ecological niches in Australia. In the back of his truck was a minor museum of stuffed marsupials: wallabies, quolls, brush-tailed possums, sugar gliders, black-footed tree rats. By taking his travelling taxidermic museum to remote indigenous communities and showing actual specimens to people, asking elders which creatures were still around, which they had never seen, which had disappeared in living memory and when, he hoped to get detailed and reliable data on the receding distribution of many of Australia’s unique species. He’d never heard of us, and we’d never heard of him; it was sheer serendipity that our paths crossed that day in such a remote place. Mark unpacked the animals and we set them all up under the boughshade, getting the men to talk about each in turn. They would give their Iwaidja names like marnanbuki for the brush-tailed phascogale (Phascogale Tapoatafa), murlunybi [1] for the brush-tailed rabbit rat (Conilurus penicillatus) or nabarraminyminy for the northern blossom bat (Macroglossus minimus). Then they would discuss their behaviour, bringing in new words like rahardalkbin, ‘it glides like a plane’, for wahay the sugar-glider (known as scurrel, from squirrel, in local English). Or they would recall the plants these animals sought out: kartaywal, the black-footed tree rat, for instance, eats mamungarn (‘red sap’) and yaji (‘clear gum’), from the acacia tree known as warlum in Iwaidja. This in turn would often lead out into other stories: as in many other places, the northern quoll kabarrakan, which looks like a spotted marsupial cat, has close associations with the origins of death. Now the memory of that animal is itself becoming ghostly, a fading image in the men’s memories. The men were animated, laughing to see again animals that had disappeared from their own lives many years before, and which people had slowly stopped talking about, to the point that many of the names would not have returned to mind without the tangible prompt of Mark’s specimens. Those objects, packed into the trunk of his Toyota, recreated for a moment the rich regional fauna that had surrounded these men when they were growing up, and which had imperceptibly disappeared from their lives.

it was a normal day i the discord. or, as normal as it can be on this chaotic server. but moon just realized that he is in jay's (the discord local bone trafficker) harem.
of course, this was shocking news to the poor gal. they even had a breakdown over it.
as the day progresses, moon is still whining about being a side-bitch. churro, the local arg maker and codes and chiphers enthusiast (also the one who made original xd angst) asks moon to be their side-bitch. they invite him to eat pancakes. moon agrees.
jay just laughs and told churro to enjoy the side-bitch. jay told them that moon wasn't up to jay's standard anyway.
moon was insulted, but is happy eating pancakes with churro.
still, they are mad at jay for calling moon being not enough. jay tells moon to come back to them if they want to know why moon wasn't enough. angry and curious, moon agrees to come.
as moon arrives, jay, triumphant, declares that he got his side-bitch back. everyone let out a gasp.
so moon was back with jay now. churro, mad out of their wits, declares war.
in the middle of the war, a certain librarian kidnaps moon. librarian is jealous of churro and jay as they got moon's attention 24/6, and wants their friend back. they also want to stop the fighting as they hate wars and such.
it worked. churro and jay both agreed to a temporary truce to band against a common enemy.
in the scurrel, jay got moon back again. churro has enough of the defeats and declares a battle.
so the battle begins at dawn. the two, jay and churro, draw at their swords.
jay calls churro sexy.
wait what????
what a twist! churro blush and the two kiss. what a happy ending to this tale!
and so churro, jay and their side-bitch moon live happily ever after.
side plots include salem being moon's hot best friend, nare being the official partner of moon and looking at this all in laughter, and the castle people just straight up vibing.
come join the discord we have written a better love story than hollywood ever will (not talking abt archetype au). i am going to provide context later.
We make Plots better than Hollywood can and we make more feels than we ever thought we would see.

The Crucible by Paper Lanterns : Review
On Friday 27th October, I travelled back to my home town of Ipswich to watch a performance of The Crucible by a local non-professional dramatics group called Paper Lanterns, at The Sir John Mills Theatre. The Sir John Mills Theatre is a small theatre in the heart of Ipswich run by Eastern Angles. At first, I was apprehensive to see how the cast of The Crucible would be able to perform such a strong performance with such little room, and although Paper Lanterns' cast were highly talented and very convincing, I felt there was a lack of space for the performers to move around in. Had they hired out a bigger venue they potentially could have played around with the movement a lot more. Having said that, I believe they made best use of the stage that they had. This performance really didn't feel like an amateur production of The Crucible with Sally Scurrell and Rosie Beattie's sleek and classy direction.
As I am currently gearing up for my own performance of The Crucible to finalise my Dramatic Theatre module at De Montfort University, I now start to really think about how else my characters might be portrayed. For some of my performance I will play Abigail, and for the other half of my performance I will play Danforth. After watching Paper Lanterns' The Crucible, it has opened my mind to think about how other people imagine Abigail and Danforth. What is Abigail's physicality like? How might Danforth say this? And how can I apply these to my own performance?
With commendable performances all round, and Halloween being only a few days away, Paper Lanterns version of The Crucible really did make you leave the theatre feeling a little spooked.

Timecode Systems takes 360 video and VR to Cine Gear Expo 2017
The modular, multicamera VR rig launched in April by Timecode Systems and 360RIZE will be on display at Cine Gear Expo 2017, along with other solutions for VR production and postproduction.
NAB 2017 is over, but Cine Gear Expo 2017 is round the corner. During the 22nd Annual Cine Gear Expo, which returns to the landmark Paramount Studios on June 1-4, 2017, attendees will have the opportunity to explore and compare the latest tools and services in filmmaking technology in a relaxed Hollywood studio environment. Among the 300 exhibits expected at the event, Timecode Systems will be showcasing not only a new, cost-effective way to streamline multicamera production workflows using the UltraSync ONE, but also demonstrating how its system can now be configured to offer efficiency benefits to professional VR workflows.
According to Timecode Systems, UltraSync ONE redefines industry expectations of small, budget-friendly sync boxes. The company adds that “size and price are important factors when it comes to timecode solutions, but not at the cost of the quality of the sync and the confidence that battery life will last an entire day of filming.”
Measuring 55mm x 44mm x 17mm, weighing only 39g, offering a battery life of more than 25 hours and priced at just $299, UltraSync ONE is, claims the company, “the smallest, most cost-effective generator and transceiver on the market to provide timecode, genlock for camera sync, and word clock for sound, all synchronized wirelessly and with sub-line sync accuracy over bi-directional BLINK RF. These combine to provide synchronization to such a high degree of accuracy that it’s suitable for even genlock-synchronized 360-degree VR arrays.”
In April Timecode Systems and 360RIZE launched a modular, multicamera VR rig designed to house GoPro HERO4 cameras with SyncBac PROs attached. Now the SyncBac VR solution expands to include more custom VR rigs. The company believes that “the momentum for developing VR technology is showing no signs of slowing down, but there is one thing that has persistently frustrated 360 content producers — the lack of a professional alternative to the time-consuming, manual process of synchronizing multiple streams of non-timecoded GoPro footage.” Timecode Systems believes the system they introduced and now perfected is a viable solution for the industry.
The original solution showed how the SyncBac PRO solution can be applied to remove the guesswork from 360-degree filming by enabling cameras to be timecode-synchronized at the point of shooting over RF, and also how multiple cameras in a VR rig can be controlled simultaneously from a tablet using the BLINK Hub app.
At Cine Gear Expo 2017, Timecode Systems is expanding the application of its SyncBac VR solution by demonstrating how UltraSync ONE could integrate into other custom VR rigs, creating an opportunity to use professional genlock sync for 360-degree filming.
In terms of VR postproduction the company also has a new solution to save time, based on Timecode Systems integration with Kolor’s Autopano Video Pro. Time aligning files from the multiple cameras in a 360-degree VR rig can be a manual and time-consuming process if there is no easy synchronization point, especially when synchronizing with separate audio. Visually timecode-slating cameras is a disruptive manual process, and using the clap of slate (or another visual or audio cue) as a sync marker can be unreliable when it comes to the edit process.
A new sync feature, included in the version 3.0 update to Autopano Video Pro, incorporates full support for MP4 timecode generated by Timecode Systems’ products (for example, timecode from SyncBac PROs attached to GoPro HERO4 cameras in a custom 360-degree VR rig). This gives virtual reality filmmakers the freedom to shoot creatively and efficiently, safe in the knowledge that every camera in the rig is shooting in frame-level synchronization and can be easily aligned and stitched.
“Timecode Systems is heading to Cine Gear Expo 2017 with new products, enhanced features, and some exciting updates to its BLINK Hub app that together demonstrate how its solutions combine to deliver significant time and cost savings throughout the production process, from acquisition through to postproduction, whether filming for film and television or for 360-degree video” said Paul Scurrell, CEO, Timecode Systems Ltd.
The post Timecode Systems takes 360 video and VR to Cine Gear Expo 2017 appeared first on ProVideo Coalition.
