new edm documents!!!

First one: a new tape from Calisto in the Cathedral, near the murals. To summarize, he mostly talked about understanding the prophecy and the nature of the loop repeating itself, along with stating, at the end, that only the God of Fear could change things. I think this tape is very helpful, because it frames all of the documents and continues everything we've seen from Calisto following Sofia's death-- the only thing he cares about is getting her back. And to him, the only way to do so is to achieve the Other Ending, through the God of Fear. Remember that priority of his for the rest of this evidence.

Then there were several documents, also from Calisto, each located under one of the murals, talking about elements of the Other Ending, the process of creating the loop, each piece of the full picture. I think while some parts of these are things we already know, some shed a LOT of light on certain aspects of the story, but like with all documents, I want to remind folks that they're written from a particular perspective (Calisto's) and therefore they and the conclusions within them are not objective truth-- this is, to me, clearly intentional. You're meant to have theories and have to decide for yourself exactly how to interpret parts of the story.

First new document was located under the Fissure mural. It states that the Mark contains everything-- the memories of everyone while they're within the Perimeter, memories of all the events that have and will take place within it. Most interesting is the back, which states that if a life begins and ends within the Perimeter, then the Fissure contains that person's entire life, and, even more interesting to me, that there's only one way to save Sofia, and that the music must be changed before the end.

Next document: The Infinite and the Perpetual Engine. The first side states that the effect of the repetition of the Ooze is amplified by the quantity of energy-- this means that the more energy, the longer period of time the Spiral can repeat in a loop. The back discusses the Perpetual Engine-- as we know, it can continue creating energy infinitely due to the effect of the Crystals and the Ooze combined. Activating the engine activates the cycle forever, and the motor must exist because it existed before.

I think this is giving us some insight into Calisto's memories, in particular, as well as the whole notion that everyone understands and has seen their role (which we'll get more into with a subsequent document). Calisto has not only seen his own role, but he's seen at least some of Jaser's memories and understands the larger nature of the cycle. He knows that they're stuck in this loop unless something changes, and the only one who can change it is the God of Fear.

The third document is about the Pillars and how they operate. Here, Calisto notes that everything needed for the prophecy already existed-- it all already happened, and therefore it will happen. The Perimeter exists because this cycle must always exist (again, until/unless it's broken).

Here we get a little better understanding of the Pillars than I think we really had before. Each of them contains a Crystal from the Eye of the God of Fear, placed inside the mold that the Ooze is meant to fill. Upon activating, the crystal will initiate and continue the repetition of the cycle. The Mark is applied to each Pillar, as neither the Ooze nor the Crystals alone have the ability to store information-- only the Mark can do that. Applying the Mark, which contains the memories/life of the Unhaunted One, allows the cycle to continue to repeat, based on his lifetime. The Pillars are placed around the Perimeter to keep the entire area within the cycle and to maintain an energy grid around that connects them all to the engine, keeping them powered and therefore the cycle.

The Beginning and the End. This document explains how the visions everyone had worked, which is very helpful I think. It states that the last memory from the previous cycle overflows into the current one, meaning people remember their deaths and remember what they were doing in the last cycle, and then they fulfill it again in the current one. This is why every Order agent saw their death, along with seeing what their role was in bringing about the Other Ending. They're not seeing premonitions of the future to come-- they're seeing what already happened.

The back of this one is, imo, one of the more heartbreaking bits of this. Calisto asks what could have caused the vision-- was it Lethicia playing the Melody for the first time? Was it Alan activating the Eye? Was it Sofia's death (closest; it seems very clear that each vision was caused by, respectively, Jaser's and Mia's births)? And why did Veríssimo leave? Why did all of this happen at the same time? I think this one is really heartbreaking especially because it makes it clear that Calisto didn't know about Mia at all.

Only the God of Fear can bring her (Sofia) back. Only I (Calisto) can do this.

So. There's a lot here to think about!!!!

Listening to a Halloween electro swing playlist on Spotify and

1. Like every single album art looks "AI"-generated 🤢

2. Every single song has a 4/4 quarter note beat. Like y'all... Do you know what swing even is? Lemme introduce you to some next-level shit called "syncopation"

two things about the don't let me let go music video:

lol this guy (dillon francis, I presume) looks lo uncomfortable with being on camera. it would be comical on its own but compared to who I am assuming is evan giia, with the confidence of a thousand suns, it's especially silly. giving middle schooler tbh. it's literally so comical that I think it's intentional.

why are the dancers in tennis outfits??? what

I don’t remember my music theory but as an 2010s edm type guy I had to know what was up with this key signature/chord progression when spotify hit me with a new Zedd album out of nowhere.

The Calvin Harris Theory

So I am already staying up way later listening to decade old EDM music, but I just wanna share a theory I came up with a few years ago when I was doing exactly this. I call it the Calvin Harris Effect. Because every time I listen to a Calvin Harris song from the early 2010's, it unlocks some deep seated memory of me hearing that exact song when I was much younger, never knowing the song itself, who made it, or even where I hear it. It is not a song I would have ever recalled hearing up until that moment, never an earworm stuck in my head that I could never find, simply a lost memory suddenly brought back to life.

This has been the case with virtually ever Calvin Harris song, and the thing is... it's not just me. at least one of my friends has had the exact same reaction to multiple Calvin Harris songs, and we are a good few years apart in age. I wonder how many other people have Calvin Harris burned deep into the forgotten part of their brains, and are just waiting for a coincidence where they hear one of those songs again and get transported back to their childhood.

In all honesty, I could expand this further. Like, Calvin Harris is hardly the biggest musician ever, he's not even really the biggest EDM producer ever. Yet there are at least 2 confirmed cases of him somehow being a forgotten part of someone's youth. Have I stumbled across a new conspiracy?

Listen to the Illenium song "Eyes Wide Shut" featuring Avril and Travis Barker, the first line is literally "I'm dead but you probably can't tell"

Enough of a hint?

What is your most insane conspiracy theory?

OMG OKAY

My friend taught me this one. The theory that Avril Lavigne is no longer Avril Lavigne and she's someone else. She died and was replaced by a body double. Look it up, it's insane.

i feel really bad for people who make music primarily by clicking notes into a piano roll trying to learn music theory from edm production youtubers. like damn this shit does not make sense if you don't already play piano

[atthebell]

sobre os últimos documentos que foram adicionados na nova atualização de edm especificamente o último

pra mim o que o calisto quis dizer com só eu posso fazer isso é que ele acreditava que só ele poderia trazer o deus do medo, se ele cumprisse a sua função mais importante eventualmente o deus do medo traria o outro final

Mmmmmm eu não discordo acho que o Calisto teve um papel maior que os outros-- ele precisava trazer o Deus do Medo (o que ele conseguiu fazer, se voçê seguir o trem: Mia causou o outro final, Mia só veio porque Veríssimo veio, Veríssimo veio por causa de Calisto) e saber sobre o loop e além de ter as memórias do Jaser para saber sobre isso.

E "Apenas o Deus do Medo vai trazer ela de volta" e "Apenas eu posso fazer isso" estavam no mesmo documento-- essa lógica faz sentido pra mim.

Eng:

Mmmmmm I don't disagree I think that Calisto had a bigger role than the others-- he needed to bring the God of Fear (which he succeeded at, if you follow the train: Mia caused the Other Ending, Mia only came because of Veríssimo, Veríssimo came because of Calisto) and to know about the loop plus have Jaser's memories to know about it.

And "Only the God of Fear will bring her back" and "Only I can do this" were on the same document-- this logic makes sense to me.

Music commission prices!

Update: Editing my prices again bc I still think I was undercharging a little bit from my work and also the payment processor I use to transfer money from P*ypal to my bank account recently increased their fees.

Hey everyone! My name's Carlos, I'm a composer and producer. I'm one half of the technical death metal band Beyond Flesh, and I've been doing commissioned music work since 2021. I did all the battle themes for the RPGmaker game Those Infernal Girls! and several battle themes for the "Chillen in Chult" arc of the the D&D twitch show Dice Dynamics. I also did one bonus track for the album We Will All Sing One Song by the James Connolly Upstate New York IWW.

I can make music for your:

OC

Climactic TTRPG moment

Videogame

Short Film

Whatever else idk

The main genres I do are metal, synthwave, and dungeon synth, but I've done a bunch of commissioned work in different genres, from 8bit to jazz to EDM to hiphop backing tracks. If in doubt, ask me and I'll tell you if I can do a particular genre or not.

Prices:

Base commission price (Includes 1 minute of music, 2 instrument tracks plus percussion track) - $12 USD

Extra instrument track - $6 USD

Extra minute of music - $6 USD

Examples:

Some examples of my previous work so you can get an idea of my range:

You don't need to know anything about music theory or related language to commission me, but do have in mind that the more ifnormation you're able to provide the better the end result will be. Vibe descriptions, reference tracks that you want it to sound similar to, writeups of the character and/or scene it's for, and anything else you can think of are massively helpful. I'll be continually sending you WIPs through the entire process so you can judge the direction I'm going in and provide notes if necessary.

You get to keep all rights to the song to use it for any purpose. I, however, keep the right to post it on my tumblr blog, my youtube channel, or any of my socials for promotional purposes.

You may contact me through DMs here, or through the following media:

I only accept payment via p*ypal invoices, as c*shapp and v*nmo don't work in my country.

LORE SPOILERS FOR TIMELINE CLASH PT 2

Mod notes are in Green

For @ask-elliot-doorman-fam Timeline clash RP

Shuriken's solver form...

So the story about how Shuriken got his wicked solver form? Surprisingly it's not from Uzi, though she and N did help.

Of course we all know that Uzi has the solver while N just has a base program of the solver, hence his need for oil, animalistic attitude, etc. So they passed it down, on to Shuriken and Terra. Though Shuriken has a more "volatile" version of the solver (aka more suitable for the Absolute Solver to enter the host's mind). While Terra just has the regular base program.

But here is where things get interesting... ( sorry for all the J fans out there TwT):

When Shuriken was only a wee little six year old, he wanted to explore outside. But because Terra was a newborn, Uzi nor N could go so Shuriken snuck out ( classic Doorman sneaking out). He explored to the corpse spire, and he was scared by the dead bodies (as a normal six year old is?). But a voice inside his head was telling him to go inside, that it will keep him safe. This voice is the AS (Absolute Solver), preying on Shuriken's curiosity. And because he was a kid, he trusted the AS to keep him safe.

Wrong move. As it turns out, the AS was luring the boy to J, who has gone insane after her fall in the EP8 battle. Since J worked with the AS, in my AU they came up with a backup plan before the aforementioned battle to use if Cyn were to have her heart taken out (which obviously she did). So J and the AS created a virus for the next potential host if the drone who got captured by was suitable enough (which Shuriken was).

And so Shuriken got attacked by J, with J implanting the virus in his chest, infecting him with the AS completely. He haphazardly flies away to a nearby cave and basically has a seizure as the AS begins manifesting in his mind.

As he is writhing and screaming in pain on the floor, the former other hosts of the Solver are dumped in his head as voices, such as Doll, Yeva, Cyn, and Tessa ( though Tessa wasn't a host, her spirit got trapped in the AS metaverse, a universe where the AS controls everything).

After the pain settles down, He hears from the AS that it can help him use his newfound powers and become a god, but Shuriken refused (bro you lured him into a trap and now you want to take over??). Instead, he makes a deal with the AS to only possess and use his body at night so no one gets hurt ( in theory...). So, the AS reluctantly agrees to his terms.

After ten minutes Uzi flies in worried sick, searching for her son for hours and finds a now exhausted and almost knocked out Shuriken. She is extremely worried, checking out all the bloody wounds and scratch marks on his body, wondering who did this to him. Then she sees the solver symbol flicker on his visor, giving her the impression that he inherited her curse. Uzi breaks down, crying in the cave, hugging her now AS- infected son blaming herself for "giving him" the AS and for not finding him sooner.

Uzi carries her son home, and N learns about the incident. He also blames himself for not being there for Shuriken when he needed him most, wondering "what kind of a dad does that make me?".

Shuriken wakes up to his crying mother and father, and feels guilty for everything that happened. So he tells them that it's not their fault, and he should have never snuck out in the first place. (then they have a big hug fest to bury yet another trauma.)

And so ten years go by without an incident. Shuriken starts high school with good grades, but his is a loner like Uzi ( there is just something off about him I guess. DW he has friends tho), and somehow lands Lizzy and Thad's daughter, Brianna as his girlfriend. He gets into his "angsty teen phase" and gets into music ( EDM loverr).

But recently the AS grew stronger. His changing body, teenage hormones ( lol, how can drones have hormones? whaat?), and his past trauma is giving him a weaker resolve on who he is as a person. So the AS takes it's chance to possess him more, but so far only when there are dead bodies or spilled oil from a wound.

And that's where we are at right now. Feel free to comment!

Red Dead Redemption 2 College AU !

I'm ignoring reqs for a bit to indulge in my own thoughts and ideas and write some hcs for my college au on what i think their majors/lives as students/professors would be like, ahem... Long post ahead. Also this isn't too well thought out as of now, just wrote down some fun thoughts. Plz tell me your own headcannons

Arthur Morgan - Fine Arts

THE MOST UNEXPECTED MAJOR FOR A GUY LIKE HIM. He's the guy who's seen around campus wearing leather jackets, riding his motorcycle, brooding over a cup of coffee while he stares off aimlessly into the sky. So imagine him walking into your visual arts class with some of the most beautiful drawings you've ever seen. Has his own apartment near campus and his roommate is Charles. Entire place is littered with sketches and art supplies and billions of projects. His hands are constantly stained with charcoal. Takes his major VERY seriously, he don't play about his drawings and paintings. Works at a college bar and constantly comes home with a new story. Frequently visits John and the others after joining the frat, especially when they have parties. Never misses out on those. Became friends with Lenny through these parties.

John Marston - Civil Engineering

Probably one of the most miserable engineering majors you'll ever see. And that's only because he doesn't stress out over his work and procrastinates like he hasn't a care in the world; seemingly forgets he's in college. That is until the deadline is 11:59 PM that night and he has to cram two weeks worth of assignments into one night. Complains about heart palpitations when the area surrounding his desk is littered with energy cans. Joined a fraternity as soon as possible and lives in the housing. Party animal, drinks on weekdays with Sean and Javier. Throws absolute ragers on the weekends. Is the guy to yell "IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF THIS FRAT, THEN GET THE FUCK OUT" before turning to you and asking if you had fun. Has missed his 9 AM several times because he either slept in or is hung over. Was probably community dick for a while. Works at McDonald's part time, people genuinely don't know how he handles the stress. 60% of his paycheck goes to liquor/alcohol.

Javier Escuella - Music Theory

PASSIONATE about his major. HE DON'T PLAY ABOUT HIS MUSIC. But I can totally see him as the type of dude to sit around on the campus lawn with a guitar as a group of girls surrounds him and listens to him play. Is in the frat with John and lives in it as well. Also plays his guitar at parties with girls surrounding him, starkly contrasting the EDM and house music in the background. Shows up to class regardless of hangovers, he is very serious about his education. As serious as he is about partying. Shows up to class fitted every single time. Probably has outfit changes between classes. Type of guy to have his fits laid out next to his bed. He does the most. Was also probably community dick. Works as a cook at a restaurant, constantly flirts with you there. Gets all giddy in the kitchen with his coworkers when he manages to make you giggle.

Charles Smith - Anthropology

It's him and his laptop against the world. He's super neat, everything in one place. Any papers he gets are all neatly kept away and categorized per class. Is hard at work on writing an ethnography and is frequently out and about for observations. If he's not out then he's at home working on assignments. Also a frat member but like I said, rooms with Arthur. Has gained the quiet serious type reputation in class but once you start talking to him discover he's very friendly and nice. Probably works on campus as a student ambassador. Is very involved with school and activities; runs an enviornmental sciences club. Dedicates several hours a night to studying/working on assignments. Amazing student all around. The way he has his life together is enviable.

Kieran Duffy - Equine Studies

LITERALLY PERFECT MAJOR FOR HIM. Literally the happiest student around, his classroom is the stables. Works at the stables as well. Just spends 99% of his time at the stables so catching him outside of there is nearly impossible. Gossips to the horses and tells them about his day. I feel like he'd fall behind in his other studies though because he'd be way too focused on the horses. Typical, struggling student. Joined a frat out of pressure, got the WORST of the hazing. I don't even want to begin to imagine what the rituals were like. Probably gets black out drunk at frat parties, ends up on the front lawn and wakes up half naked every weekend somehow.

Sean Macguire - Business Administration

He's just insufferable like that. Whenever people shit on his major he just finds a thousand bullshit reasons as to why his major is better and more lucrative. Complains to John how hard his homework is and when John asks to see his screen it's addition with pictures. Probably went to college to party and realized "oh shit I actually gotta do school". Googled the highest paying and easiest majors and chose it like that. Puts more thought into what beer he's going to buy at the liquor store than his studies. Hotboxes his car 24/7. His room REEKS of weed and so does he. Attempts to disguise it with ax body spray. Will always ask you if you want to wake and bake; regardless of if you do or don't accept he's showing up to class high and with sunglasses. Goes nonverbal when he greens out. Works at McDonald's with John, is constantly late and is warned he might get fired but never does. Just fucks around in the back. I can imagine he and Karen are constantly on and off but when they're off he brings a new girl home to the frat every night.

Lenny Summers - Literature Major

Joined the frat because he thought he'd make good connections (LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER). One of the youngest pledges, went easier on him with the hazing. He's incredibly focused on his studies. You'd be surprised to find out he's a party animal as well because he's constantly reading a book in his free time. Definitely joined a book club with Mary-Beth and is taking Dutch's English class. Works on campus as well as the library; prides himself on his work and education. I believe he'd dorm because there's no way he's living in that filthy frat. Super organized dorm. Became really good friends with Arthur during one of the parties, also became close with Sean. Frequently gets driven around by Sean and gets second hand high from being in his car.

Bill Williamson - Army

Out of everyone he went to the army instead of college. But he definitely still hangs with the frat when he can simply because he's friends with a few of them. Frequently buys them liquor and supplies it to the younger members. Asks them how their classes are going and ends up falling into a rabbit hole where he's learning about infrastructure planning or astrophysics and tries his hand at doing their homework for them. It goes terribly. Drives a beat up pickup truck and you can hear that mf coming down the road 3 blocks away. Subtly tries (and fails) at flirting with some of the frat members.

Micah Bell - Criminal Law Major

Insufferable. Need I say more. Very money centric. Definitely thinks he's better than you because he's a law student. Kisses the professors’ ass all the time. Joins study groups and acts as if he's the smartest one there, tries to lead conversations, and views it as a challenge if anyone says differently than him during said discussions. He probably has an internship at a firm. Oh my god I can just imagine how sleazy he is. Also part of the frat and several of the members do not like him. Harasses the girls that show up. I can see him cutting off people during class or talking over them. Type of guy to say "not to be devil's advocate, but..."

Pearson - Culinary Degree

Came back to school to get his culinary degree. Mostly keeps to himself but has become acquainted with a few people and is actually decent friends with some. Pretty serious about his studies but is also chill, you can just tell he's extremely passionate about what he does. Excuses himself from hangouts by saying "sorry I got a pie due at 3." Loves it when he's able to sell some of his products back to students/general public and see how people react. Dreams of opening his own restaurant so he takes the accounting/marketing aspects of his degree very seriously.

Abigail Roberts - Education Major

I CAN JUST SEE IT YK. I can totally see her being a teacher, and she's super hardworking. I feel like her schedule is jam packed so she hardly ever has time for fun. Studies, does homework, student teaching, and takes care of herself and her son. So yeah imagine how busy she is all the time. Occasionally leaves Jack with his grandparents for a night of fun but that is few and far in between. Joined a sorority for support but wouldn't live in the house. Lives in the same complex as Arthur and they get along, sometimes he offers to babysit Jack. Drops off food for her when she's real busy with her studies. NEVER late to class. And besides handling ALL THIS, she'd work as a waitress at a restaurant by campus. Talk about hard working.

Sadie Adler - Agricultural Sciences

Definitely moved to live on campus from a rural town to pursue her degree. Joined the sorority early on but dorms. Suffered a breakup and found solace in the community the girls provided. Works at a local supermarket and volunteers at a community garden nearby. Her dorm is full of potted plants. Became really good friends with Arthur through Abigail, who has her over at times. I feel like she'd be asked on dates frequently but she always turns em down because she's still struggling to accept her breakup. I'm not making it a death because this AU isn't that BRUTAL. Argues with the boys often. Pearson frequents the supermarket she works at and she always makes a comment on the strange ingredients he buys. Thus leading to a weird tense air between them that they never directly address. Enjoys her coursework and never falls behind. She's on top of that shit. Also very outspoken in class.

Karen Jones - Biological Sciences

PREMED BABYYYY. On the path to becoming a nurse. She procrastinates a lot, is often late to class, BEGS her professors for extensions. Truth is she's a party girl and she will NEVER give up that party life. Constantly at several different frat parties, gets black out drunk on Saturdays, and on Sundays she's studying for her bio exam on Monday. Complains to her sorority sisters about boys, particularly Sean, to the point where they all HATE any man she gets involved with. And the next time they see Sean in public they're all glaring DAGGERS at him. Parties aside she does her work even if she puts it off... Her grades are decent, definitely passing, but everyone tells her she's gonna need to do better if she wants to go to med school. I can see her working at a retail store like Walgreens. Most miserable cashier you'll ever see. Probably lets you walk out with your items for free if she's particularly pissed off at work that day.

Tilly Jackson - Physics Major

SHE IS A SMART GIRL. One of the most hardworking on this list. Her grades are top notch and she don't play about studying. I can see her offering tutoring for math and even getting paid for it. She is not one to be underestimated when it comes to her academic abilities. Occasionally parties (aka gets dragged along by Karen) and enjoys herself, but I can't see her being a major party animal. Offers Karen lots of advice as well as helping the girls with math assignments when they need it. Joins study groups as well as math clubs. Works at a cafe on campus where Mary-Beth and Lenny visit her occasionally. Generally well organized. Has her shit together.

Mary-Beth Gaskill - Literature Major

ALWAYS has her nose in a book. Becomes extremely engaged in class discussions and has probably read every single book required for the semester already. Works at a bookstore and frequents the campus library. Is on the chiller side of partying but still accompanies the girls. She's very reserved but can be quite friendly. Writes fanfiction in the back of class while her professors think she's just passionately writing a report. Always gets extensions from Dutch, always. Even when she doesn't need em. I can see her reading a lot of philosophy books. Also an Otessa Moshfegh fan. Colleen Hoover is her guilty pleasure. Runs a blog about the books she reads. I can also imagine her being part of the school paper. Real close with Lenny as well, often hangs out with him at the cafe Tilly works at.

Molly O'Shea - Cosmetology

Shows up to her 8 AM with a BEAT face. Full face of makeup, decked head to toe in designer: designer purse where she keeps her macbook, designer shoes, outfit, accessories, etc. Probably wears brands you've never even heard of. Has a crush on Dutch, only reason she has perfect attendance in his class. Has a grudge towards Mary-Beth. Dorms for sure, even though she'd be able to afford housing nearby. The only times she's at the dorm is in the morning getting ready for class or at night to sleep. Hardly talks to her roommate either, not even a hey. Gained the stuck up rich girl reputation from her peers. Seen at cafes in between classes and is always alone. Is out of town and has been struggling to make friends. Lots of guys ask her out on dates and she only accepts when she's bored and wants a free meal. WILL make y'all go to a steakhouse, WILL order the most expensive thing on the menu.

Dutch Van Der Linde - English/Philosophy Professor

This guy definitely speaks about philosophy with a PASSION. His class is very engaging, though I do believe he'd play favorites with a few female students... This goes for both classes. Constant open ended discussions. Type of professor to ask you "but what do the blue curtains mean...?" Hardass with assignments unless you're one of those favored female students. No late assignments with him ever. You either turn it in at the deadline or you don't ever. I feel like he'd forget to take attendance frequently despite being a hardass about that too. Probably the type of professor that tries to integrate himself with the student body and try to fit in. Mildly successful.

Hosea Matthews - Theatre Professor

THE SWEETEST, KINDEST, MOST COMPASSIONATE PROFESSOR. ALWAYS excuses late assignments and very lenient, will not deduce points. His class is very fun and engaging as well! Does what Dutch tries to do and makes genuine connections with his students while keeping it professional. Tells his students they can always talk to him and come for advice. Frequently has lunch with Dutch and Susan and talks up just how great his classes are. Frequents the library and local bookstores; also goes to the cafe Tilly works at. I also feel like a lot of his relationships would have a fatherly air around them, like he's a second dad for a few of the students (we know who...).

Leopold Strauss - Business Professor

YOU CANNOT TELL ME HE WOULDN'T UGH. Probably a super boring class I'm not gonna lie. His accent would probably make it hard for some students to understand what he's saying, not to mention he probably speaks super softly and not loud enough for everyone to hear. He should've retired by now but he refuses to. There is no syllabus week with him, you got homework on the first day. But it's probably not even hard c'mon. Sean is probably the most lively thing about his class, but he's definitely falling asleep in there frequently. Always late to his own class, doesn't even say why, just gets into lecturing. NEVER seen without a cup of coffee. Sometimes there will be long moments of silence between lectures as he tries to figure out the technology. Falls asleep in his car after class.

Orville Swanson - Theology Professor

Also a super chill professor. He's probably super open to his classes about his struggles. He's able to facilitate well structured discussions and keep things civilized amongst his students. I feel like it could get boring because it's mostly lectures and slide shows but he'd still find a way to keep his students engaged, especially on discussions. I feel like he'd also be lenient about assignments, but his assignments would be rather large. Back to back papers. Type of professor to say hi to you in the halls or outside of campus and ask about your day. 10/10 guy.

Uncle - Biology Professor

How is he still working here. HOW hasn't he retired. WHY hasn't he retired. SOMEONE PLEASE make him retire. There are pros and cons. You will learn NOTHING in his class, so if you're unfortunate enough to land his class you better drop that shit as soon as possible. If you for some reason stay, you must be some sort of masochist. Probably has the best stories. As soon as you think he's about to start lecturing he goes on a tangent about a story that happened to him the other day. He has weekly tests and you might as well teach yourself the material because his ass definitely isn't doing it. Also has plenty of labs so he can leave you all to your own devices amongst each other while he sits at his desk and does who knows what. You can probably find him sleeping in a student lounge at any time of the day. Also the frat guys have definitely run into him at the liquor store.

Susan Grimshaw - History Professor/Sorority Mother

She's hard on you but only because she cares. Isn't very lenient when it comes to assignments but she's involved with her students. If she sees you struggling she'll pull you aside and ask what's up and figure out a plan to help you out in her class. Likes to remind her students she isn't their mommy but has a very motherly air surrounding her. And she is VERY on top of her girls. As a sorority mother, she makes sure they eat well, stay on top of studies, and deals with parents. Encourages the girls to keep up the general cleanliness of the house and tells them to work as a unit. Extremely proud of each of them.

How did you find out Fenris likes EDM?

Accidentally left my Pandora station playing through my alarm clock before leaving, noticed he was significantly more willing to just sleep and turned on my volume and realized my music was still going. It's a free account so it only lasts about 3ish hours before automatically timing out, and after about an hour or so of silence he became increasingly agitated- barking, wall-climbing, trying to figure out how to get out. Had the thought that maybe my alarm clock could hear my voice command through my camera's speaker so I asked it to play music again and within about 5 minutes he settled back down to sleep as though nothing had happened.

After a few days of testing the theory I knew it was my music playlist keeping him quiet and ordered a music box that I could pre-load songs I already had downloaded, so that I wouldn't have to argue with Pandora (or pay them a subscription) or rely on access to wifi (reliable power and internet in rural CT during the winter? Yeah ok sure and I have a bridge to sell)

Why EDM specifically? Uh, guilty as charged, my Pandora playlist is a Mystery Skulls channel.

edm ending ramble, spoilers for like everything

Calisto is back, and assuming that the ending of edm is the other ending the order agents were all working towards, in theory they’re all back; with the notable exception of Sofia, because on some level the events leading to Mia being born had to have happened. So, that includes the order agents arriving at the perimeter through Verissimo leaving the perimeter with Mia.

BUT at the same time, Jaser essentially took himself out of the timeline. So, the entire series of events that began with his birth (the Strachs having their visions and constructing the various paranormal structures in the perimeter) likewise, retroactively never occurred, because the cycle never started in the first place.

The only person that remembers the events of the game is Mia, does the same go for the rest of the newly alive agents? What do they remember? None of it ever happened.

So, assuming the order agents that died within the perimeter are back, due to their deaths having occurred due to events that now never happened… how old are they? Are they the age they would have theoretically been in the present, 20 years or so older than when they entered with no memory of the decades they spent in the cycle? Or are they the age they were at the start of it all, having shown up for a mission that turned out to be nothing, only for the world around them to have somehow jumped forward in time?

There’s a part of me that wants the order agents to remember up until Mia’s birth at least, just to get more insight into that period of time. I could argue that the only reason Verissimo forgot that part was because he left the perimeter, something that technically none of the others did. But I really don’t think they will. Mia is textually meant to be impossible. She’s a paradox, she doesn’t make sense with the new sequence of events. It was all nullified, Mia herself is the only remnant of that timeline.

I don’t think it’s something we’re going to get answers for any time soon. In my opinion it’ll probably be a calamidade 2 background lore drop kind of thing. Just know I’m thinking about it all in the back of my mind literally all the time
