The Soobin and HeeJay details 🐰

[leoslosttoolbelt]

What I think the demigods would major as and why

these are personal head canons dont take them too seriously :)

Percy: Education. I know that we usually hc as a Marin biology kinda guy but I genuinely think that he wouldn't be too fond of the workload but instead want to work towards being a teacher and being the kind of teacher he needed as a kid, y'know? Alternatively, I can see him being into something like baking and pastry art to take over Sally's shop.

Annabeth: Architecture. I really don't think I need to explain this one to y'all but yeah she's an architecture girly. But if we want to branch out I can also see her studying law and working in the area of Child Protection.

Leo: Astrophysics. I have this head canon of him panicking because of the sheer amount of choices that he's presented with and choosing the first one of the alphabetical list. Lucky for him, he's insanely good at it AND it'll pay well in the future. He minors in mechanical engineering and realises that although he has all the practical knowledge because of his father, his theoretical knowledge isn't as strong lol.

Piper: Food Science. I'm trying to be unique here because yeah, she could do environmental studies but I also think it would be super cool to see her learning about food and developing new vegetarian versions of food because it's something she's visibly passionate about in the books.

Nico: I can see him getting a history / philosophy related degree for his bachelors just for him to get a  doctor of philosophy (Ph. D.) in mythology or folklore. His hyperfixation runs deep and he sure as hell is going to fuel it as much as he can.

Jason: Doesn't go to college!! Is severely burnt out <3. No but like idk man I think he'd legitimately want to take it chill if that makes sense? Maybe he'd do a business major just so that he can get a job somewhere but I can't think of somewhere he'd fit in nicely. Jason does have a lot of part time jobs though!!

Frank: Nurse! Nursing school! Despite being the son of Mars I can see him being in the medical field because he wants to help people in need. It's a long journey with lots of ups and downs but finally getting his degree makes it all worth it.

Hazel: Geology because rocks. And also women in STEM!! This one directly correlates to her powers in the books as well as both of her parents! On the other hand, I can see definitely see Hazel studying in the field of archeology with the goal of being an archeologist and then eventually a museum curator :)

Reyna: Psychology!! Listen, I know this seems out of the blue but Reyna gives me the right vibes. Everyone is skeptical at first because they don't think she'd fit the mold of a clinical psychologist but that's okay because Reyna wants to further herself in research! She studies Neuropsychology and becomes a prominent researcher in her field! Please tell me you see the vision.

Will: From what I can see in the books, Emergency Medical Services degree seems like the right field for him. He's already basically a paramedic at Camp Half Blood so he knows it's naturally the right step for him. On the other hand, for something a little different - he seems like the kind of guy who might be interested in studying cinematography or art history maybe.

Travis: He studies Economics because he's so fucking convinced that he can become the next Elon Musk if he studies this. Alternatively, he studies music because he wants to travel the world and like sing with the wind and all that shit.

Connor: he's a communications major because he's a really popular youtube and technically doesn't really need to go to college but oh well he can study communications.

Drew: She goes to cosmetology school as the first step to start her own makeup and skincare empire. She's super nice to all of her clients and helps out all of the other students when they're having trouble with something! I will not tolerate any Drew slander let my girl breathe.

Pollux: Chemical Engineering. He got influenced by watching breaking bad and somehow landed himself a degree in chemical engineering. He doesn't know how he survived that degree but it doesn't matter because he decides to not give a fuck and open a coffee shop that becomes really popular because all the drinks are to die for.

Thalia: I don't really know the right terminology but she has an art related degree / tattoo apprentice so that she can work as a tattoo artist!! It fits with the thalis vision and also she is the eldest daughter who loses it lowkey so she doesn't follow your usual education route. Tattoo artist Thalia for the win!!

[ronancecore]

If ronance have a filo au it would be university series core.

Ps: there's a lot of acronyms here to shorten some words. I don't know like there's a lot of shorten words😭 most of filo use it in everyday living or in messages.

so Robin going in UP taking ba in film/multimedia arts, or ba in social science. While Nancy going to UST taking ba in journalism/mass communications, or bs in forensic.

ba is bachelor of arts and bs is bachelor of science.

UP(University of the Philippines) is the top university in ph. Good for does who want to be in law program, it is a state/public university without tuition fee. You only pay with your brain. (joke, cause it's hard to enter here if you are not seriously academic inclined person.) Automatically, if you passed the upcat entrance exam congrats you are now 'iskolar ng bayan'. (scholars of the people, it's a deserving students dream to become one of it.) yay! but it's more way hard to get out:D this university doesn't have dress code/uniforms. You can wear whatever you want, or color your hair, you have a free will to be yourself.

UST (University of Santo Thomas) in the other hand, is opposite of the previous one. It's prestigious historical university, were national hero graduated here. It's good for future architect students. It's a private university, so there's uhmm tuition fee the entrance exam is no joke too(let's say, all top university in ph, entrance exam are no joke) it have a uniform uh for girls, I know it's ummm skirt mid way length and blouse.

[booloodle]

I’ve not blogged about this yet, but I wanted to share the way I broke down names for my current longfic Aptronym, a fic focused on Klavier Gavin based on how simultaneously brilliant and stupid his name is.

The fic spawned from a taking notes on the different connotations of most of the Ace Attorney names in their localised form. It’s something that really stuck with me so I wrote about it.

So here is a character-by-character breakdown of their names that I have on-hand whenever I write. It’s not my full notes on the matter, but a streamlined version:

Klavier Gavin

Klavier - Piano in German, begins with K, matches initials with Kristoph. Phonetic smoothness, musician career, plays guitar. Aptronym

Gavin - G, Gavinners, Gavin brothers

Kristoph Gavin

Kristoph - Begins with K, matching initials. ‘ph’ ending, westernised spelling? Link potentially with lack of random German.

Gavin - Legacy, Gavin law offices and Gavinners

Apollo Justice

Apollo - Greek and Roman God. God of Music, healing, light and the sun (and more) sun and moon metaphors. Apollo programme, link to space.

Justice - Lawyer, Aptronym, turning on Kristoph.

Phoenix Wright

Phoenix - Mythical bird, rising from the ashes, rebirth, fire. Fire connoting light.

Wright - Right, correctness, write, work on MASON system

Athena Cykes

Athena - Greek Goddess of Wisdom, strategy, war and protection of cities. Theme of Greek gods beginning with A with Apollo. Idea of civilisation and strategy, playing the long game (becoming a lawyer to save Simon). Link with Zeus swallowing Metis.

Cykes - Psychology

Miles Edgeworth

Miles - Travel, ‘merciful’, servant. Role as public servant, evolution of character.

Edgeworth - Edge, sharp, cutting. Worth, worthiness

Dick Gumshoe

Dick - short for Richard, level of causality. Dick Wittington.

Gumshoe - Aptronym, detective, police officer.

Daryan Crescend

Daryan - Just a name, idk

Crescend - Moon, contrast to Apollo?, crescent, not fully illuminated, secrecy.

Vongole

Clams in Italian. Also a popular pasta dish. Gavin’s and multilingual (4-1, Kristoph speaks French)

Simon Blackquill

Simon - ‘listen’, link to Athena

Blackquill - Bird, feathers, writing, old-fashioned (samurai motif)

My coworkers are constantly making me feel insane for wanting to follow every safety protocol to the letter, with an abundance of caution. Some of this is them being stupid and some of it is probably me having a stick up my ass, but I will not apologize for it.

Because I have an anxiety disorder, I cannot accurately assess risks, and relying on the rules is how I stay safe in the absence of useful instincts.

Me: *disposes of haz waste in the haz waste bin, then rinses the container three times with distilled water and dumps that in the haz waste bin too. Just to be safe.*

Coworker (new undergrad on a different project than mine): *dumps haz waste in the haz waste bin but does not adequately clean glassware afterwards before putting it with the normal dirty dishes*

Me: *quietly tearing my hair out and muttering about how supervising the new undergrads is not my job*

It's not that bad for haz waste, it's an antibiotic used to treat eye infections that we use to kill microbes, but STILL!

Coworker (experienced PhD student): *picks up The Cube of concentrated sulfuric acid without gloves* *works with 6N HCl outside the fume hood without goggles because 'the fume hood is gross'* *refuses to label a waste container with very dilute HCl in it, claiming it's basically just water. the pH is 5, which is the same as human saliva.*

Me: *internal screaming*

The PI: *suggests I transport haz waste in ways that are blatantly against federal law*

Me: *quotes federal law at him and spends the whole day researching the stupidly complicated rules to tell me how to do it CORRECTLY*

[pan-de-queer]

was thinking of this post (i also have a screenshot of the post at the end) and now i can't stop thinking of a uni!supercorp au set in the fucking philippines like

au is set in 2016. this is very vital to the story

lena's an international student to dlsu manila for a term (i was thinking business rich kid [so dlsu] and not lawyer/politician rich kid [admu]) bc when lillian suggested she join an international exchange program lena decided to choose the country the farthest away from lillian's influence (luthor corp has no hold in most of SEA [minus singapore obvs] and lena chose the philippines mostly because of the slightly less difficult language barrier) and majors in both science and business courses

kara got into up diliman through blood, sweat, and tears. her parents were researchers during the marcos era who were killed during martial law. kara was adopted by the danvers as jeremiah was the zor-els' co-worker and eliza was a traveling doctor. the danvers took kara and alex back to the states (usa) but kara wanted to figure out how and why her parents died and the ph is a great place to get a journalism degree so she studied up on not only the language but ph culture, history, and news as well before transferring to the ph the summer before her third year of high school. alex got a job as a medical consultant in the ph soon after and the two live together in qc (quezon city)

kara and lena meet when lena accidentally finds herself in the middle of a protest march passing through taft (kara started in up manila, not diliman hahaha)

she has no fucking idea what it's about

kara assumes lena's part of the protest and asks if she'd like to borrow one of her signs but then lena's like "what the fuck is happening"

"we're protesting marcos's burial in, uh, the national cemetery for heroes," kara explains and lena still looks so lost and kara feels both bad for the woman and awestruck that someone so beautiful exists. "marcos, like, ferdinand marcos? the country's ex-president that declared martial law, plundered the country in horrible debt, and then was banned from returning?"

lena knows some of those words, she thinks. she'd studied up on philippine history a little bit before she arrived but the textbook she'd read felt incredibly racist if not colonialist, but she's sure she read about a president declaring martial law before, so she nods as if she gets it

the protest keeps marching forward and lena finds that she can't really escape the crowd unless she wants to get crushed, so she sticks closest to kara who's both a friendly (gorgeous) face and also has the closest accent to hers

kara shares with lena more details about why they're marching and helps translate some of the more unfamiliar words of their chants

almost twenty minutes after lena accidentally joined the march, practically drenched in sweat but too moon eyed towards the blonde to care, lena finally asks where they're marching to

"to the cemetery in taguig."

taguig. taguig city. more than two hours away on foot

"oh."

when kara sees lena's face fall, she gently takes lena's wrist and manages to maneuver them to the side of the protest, away from the wave of people. kara asks what's wrong and lena admits that she's already super fucking tired and would never be able to finish the march

kara understands and decides to accompany lena while they wait for a grab ride to arrive. as lena orders her ride, kara texts her activist and journalism friends to let them know that she won't be at the final rally anymore

while they wait, they learn more about each other and find themselves even more smitten than when they first met (sometime during this part, kara also gives lena one of her extra shirts [because she's a seasoned commuting pro and knows to never leave home without an extra shirt and small towel] so lena's just looking super comfy and cute in kara's shirt)

when lena's ride arrives, kara double checks the grab because she's That Kind of person before helping her in

"thanks for waiting with me. it was nice meeting you," lena says and kara smiles, wide and toothy.

"it was nice meeting you, too. ingat!" and kara closes the card door before she remembers to even ask for lena’s number

still, the lack of contact details doesn't deter her. she knows enough about lena that hopefully dropping by dlsu more often would mean being able to see her again

and she does

anyways if this was a short fic I'd def end it around here with kara and lena getting that date but if it were a long fic then i'd 100% make kara investigate and study the ejks (extra judicial killings) during duterte's time and lena learning and falling in love with the ph the way kara has which includes lena learning how to commute (which someday, when she leads l-corp, means that she helps build and fund a better fucking public transport system)

this was suuuuppppeeer fun to even just think about and I can't promise I'll write it but just this idea has me pumped! hope the 3 pinoys who see this enjoy 💕

*edit: here's parts 1.5, 2, 3, and 4

Oh boy! Here is a good one yo! I will unpack this item by item… and… debunk as I go

There is not any restoring RvW. There should never have been a RVW. RvW was a federal decision, it was never passed into any sort of law at the federal level. That said, abortion is a state issue. Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) was paid by the Democrat party to lie at the hearings that led to the RvW decision. She admitted this willingly. Her lies made the case. At the time and up until less than a decade ago, Democrats promised all up and down the imaginary aisle that abortion would be careful and rare. They have done nothing of the sort. Democrats have turned what was once only allowable in the 1st trimester into a baby can be murdered on the birthing table at 9 months old simply because his or her mommy said so. Hundreds of thousands of abortions happen every year… not because it is the right thing to do, but because millions of women have been brainwashed to believe murdering their unborn is a right of theirs; and that abortion should be as easy as a Taco Bell drive-thru. *Abortion is the murder of an independent life. Full stop. This is scientifically proven and indisputable. Murder — of the innocent and defenseless — in our republic is unconstitutional. Now, would you still like to roll this issue back to the fed?? I thought not yo. Take what you got and run home

We the People do not live in a democracy. We the People live in a republic, a constitutional republic. Our republic needs protection from the globalist, tyrannical, oppressive Democrats. Dems are the only current threat to any measure of democracy in America

The healthcare industry needs to be reigned in. Not by government, but by real journalists outing the truth about big pharma and the medical professionals colluding with BF. The cures for diseases and ailments need to be exposed, and We the People need to push back. I am open to very limited conservative governing involvement in this, but I would really like for We the People to regulate this healthcare shit show… and rest assured, the Democrats are part of the corruption here

Paul Ryan is a GOP shill for the Democrats. He was a rebranded Dem doing their dirty work so Dems could always blame Republicans for the Social Security and Medicare fiasco. Here is SS and Medicare explained: you pass legislation — without We the People's knowledge or permission — to deduct money from lower and middle class incomes, put it in a make-believe fund that the people can tap into later, then you launder all the money back to yourselves and say that SS and Medicare are not working out so well. Too, print and print more money so you can pay the pittance that does actually get doled out to recipients *When you are a Democrat politician, if you run across a Republican who will not shill for you, bribe, coerce, or take them aside and put them in a compromising position with a child or prostitute. Uncooperative Republican problem solved yo

The students who need debt relief were grifted by Obama and his banker friends into taking out exorbitant loans for degrees that do not/can not earn… and in some cases, all that debt did not even culminate in a degree. Fuck them. FAAFO

Voting is a responsibility. Period dot, the end. If you are an American citizen, 18 or older, with not any criminal record, it is your responsibility to amble on down to one of the polling stations located in every neighborhood and do your duty. No expansion of any rights needed here. *fully prepped for any moron who wants to bring up illegal migrants voting in American elections. American citizen, 18+, no criminality.

The minimum wage is over inflated as it is, and is one of the main drivers for the high cost of living across America. The correct way to generate more money is to make yourself and what you have to offer more valuable… not by passing legislation to force people to pay $25 ph for a service that is not worth $25 ph. *that is fucking retarded and just like a Democrat

All gun laws are an infringement. What part of … shall not be infringed did you not understand? And since all gun violence in this country is the work of liberal policies and tactics, I would say you have been fooled into disarming yourself for someone who is planning on doing to you that which you would shoot them for, and now you cannot. *I am fully prepared to slay in debate over this topic, so bring it, and careful as you go

There is no climate change *fully prepped to slay in debate over this as well

The only taxes the Democrats ever levy is on the middle and lower classes. *again, fully prepped to go toe to toe on this issue as well

This last one is moronic. Everyone in America — 18 or older — has reproductive freedom. If you want to have babies and make a family, then make them. If you do not wish to make a family, do not have sex, or use protection or some method of not achieving pregnancy. See?!… reproductive freedom yo. No defense needed. *and if laws in your state are going against this, vote to change those laws… but abortion is still murder of an independent, defenseless little human being. And of course there are the 3: rape/incest, major birth defects in the baby, major danger to the mother. End of list… and provide proof; we are talking murder here

Extra Credit: I am going to start arming the unborn. The Glock 39 … I believe it is offered in 9mm. If not, I am sure the little totts are cool with .40 cal yo

Block me, prove me right yo

Republican Party attacks on Department of Education funding BEGINS…

Aiming to put an end to the potential of people in poverty entering the sadly ever dwindling middle class caused directly by none other than Republican Party legislations of the past 5+ decades as well as put an end to the potential of increasing the numbers of educated & discerning voters whom refuse to vote for corrupt Republican Party politicians.

One example of coming aimed at cuts:

Grad PLUS loans for students seeking affordable funding for Masters, Ph. D., and Medical degrees will soon be entirely eliminated from existence, if Republican politicians have their way this January 2024. Literally used by middle/lower class American students TO AVOID 'PREDATORY LENDERS' LIKE PROPRIETARY MONOPOLIED CORPORATION BANKS--THE SAME BANKS that get bailed-out in the $BILLIONS$ with semi-regularity via middle/lower class tax-dollars, I might add.

Also, the elimination of 20-25 year student loan hardship forgiveness will accompany the earlier cuts, adding this to the Republican Party's older legislation chopping block which eliminated a student's civil right to apply for bankrupcy, specifically regarding government funded student loans.

A bit ironic, isn't it?

Considering Trump's own history is literally littered with bankrupsies (to say nothing of his 90+ crimes he will likely NOT see jail time for).

More proof the Republican Party of politicians ARE BEHOLDEN 'ONLY' TO THE UPPER 1% AMERICAN OLIGARCH BILLIONAIRE CLASS.

If you are middle/lower class Americans…

Upper 1% BILLIONAIRES AND THEIR BOUGHT-AND-PAID-FOR REPUBLICAN PARTY POLITICIANS want you for your blood/sweat/tear based slave-labor & tax-dollars WHICH THEY BOTH ADVERTENTLY/INADVERTENTLY LIVE OFF OF DECADENTLY.

Remember, the more ignorant and poverty stricken they can keep you, THE EASIER YOU ARE TO BE INUNDATED/CONTROLLED AND THE LESS YOU ARE ABLE TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM THEIR INHUMANITY/CORRUPTION.

"A key Republican lawmaker suggested this week that GOP priorities on student loans and higher education, including a repeal of time-based student loan forgiveness under income-driven repayment plans, could be included in an upcoming reconciliation bill early next year.

With Republicans set to control the White House and both chambers of Congress in January (albeit with narrow majorities), top lawmakers are preparing to use the budget reconciliation process to bypass the Senate filibuster, which typically requires 60 votes for legislation to advance. Republicans will hold 53 seats in in the Senate next year. By using reconciliation, Republicans would need only a simply majority to pass budget-related legislation. Top GOP lawmakers have suggested that at a minimum, the first reconciliation bill would include an extension of tax cuts associated with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was passed through the same process during the first Trump administration. But a top Republican this week indicated that student loan forgiveness reform could be included, as well.

'I still have hope that we'll be able to pass it in this session of Congress,' said Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) on Fox Business on Wednesday. But if it doesn’t pass this session, the bill 'could go into the reconciliation and be a part of the tax cuts extension,' she said.

Proposal Would End Time-Based Student Loan Forgiveness And Current IDR Plans For New Borrowers

Foxx’s bill, the College Cost Reduction Act, would eliminate current income-driven repayment, or IDR plans, for new borrowers. IDR plans use a formula applied to a borrower’s income and family size. Under current law, any remaining balance would qualify for student loan forgiveness after 20 or 25 years in repayment under these plans. IDR plans include Income-Contingent Repayment, Income-Based Repayment, Pay As You Earn, and Revised Pay As You Earn, which subsequently became the SAVE plan.

Under the College Cost Reduction Act, federal student loan repayment options would be narrowed down to just two: a Standard plan, and a new IDR plan called the 'Repayment Assistance Plan.' This new plan would be based on income just like existing IDR plans, and would use a formula similar to the PAYE and REPAYE plans. However, it would eliminate student loan forgiveness after 20 or 25 years in repayment. Instead, borrowers would only qualify for loan forgiveness once they have repaid 'the total amount of principal and interest that the borrower would have repaid under a standard repayment plan.' Some lower-income borrowers or those with high balances may never pay that amount, which could lead to some people being trapped in debt for their entire lives.

Under the current version of the bill, the changes would apply to 'All loans made… on or after July 1, 2024.' This suggests that borrowers already in repayment would be able to maintain access to existing IDR plans.

Student Loan Forgiveness Through Existing IDR Plans Under Separate Threat

Even if current borrowers could continue accessing existing IDR plans, significant threats loom.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is handling a legal challenge over President Biden’s SAVE plan, blocked the Education Department from implementing the SAVE plan in August, forcing millions of borrowers into a forbearance. The court appears ready to strike down the SAVE plan entirely.

Depending on the scope of the 8th Circuit’s ruling, the ICR and PAYE plans could also be impacted, as these plans were created using the same regulatory process as the SAVE plan. Even though decades of regulations and bipartisan Education Department guidance reflected that these plans would result in loan forgiveness after 20 or 25 years, there is a distinct possibility that the appeals court could disallow loan forgiveness under these plans. The IBR plan, which was separately created by Congress, is not at risk from this legal challenge.

While the Trump administration has not expressly indicated what it intends to do with respect to IDR loan forgiveness, the administration could simply wait for the 8th Circuit to rule, and then not appeal that ruling (which the Biden administration had been expected to do). This would effectively allow the 8th Circuit to be the final word on IDR loan forgiveness.

Other Elements Of Proposal Would Impact Origination And Other Student Loan Forgiveness Programs The elimination of time-based IDR student loan forgiveness is not the only item in the GOP-sponsored College Cost Reduction Act. Other provisions, which some borrower advocates would support, include:

The elimination of the Parent PLUS and Graduate PLUS loan programs. Some advocates support this move, as these loans tend to have higher interest rates and can leave parents and older borrowers stuck in significant debt. However, other advocates are concerned that eliminating these programs would force borrowers to rely on riskier private student loans that don’t qualify for IDR or loan forgiveness and typically have inflexible repayment terms.

A second chance for borrowers in default on their student loans to get back into good standing through the federal student loan rehabilitation program.

An interest subsidy for the new IDR plan 'for each month for which a borrower’ s aggregate monthly payment… is insufficient to pay the total amount of interest that accrues on a loan for the month,' as well as the ability for payments to go directly towards principal in certain circumstances.

The elimination of most instances of interest capitalization.

A repeal of the Biden administration’s 'gainful employment,' Borrower Defense to Repayment, and Closed School Discharge regulations, and a limitation on the ability of future presidential administration to draft new regulations expanding student loan forgiveness initiatives.

It is unclear at this juncture which, if any, of these provisions (including changes to student loan forgiveness) may make it into the upcoming budget reconciliation bill, as Republican lawmakers are still hammering out the details. But many Republicans in Congress may see this as an opportunity to 'reign in' Biden-era student loan forgiveness initiatives.

'This is not forgiving loans,' said Foxx. 'This is transferring the cost of those loans to people who never took them out, never darkened the door of a college. It is an obscene effort.'

Borrowers could have more information in just a matter of weeks."

Post Human Studies: The Unreal State

This week, students, we return to the concept of Post Human Polities - PHP - as opposed to Post Human Species - PHS - as established in our previous lecture on the Progress Cult. As loathe as I am to bring up the maniacs behind the Progress Cult, if you can all forgive my editorializing, today's lecture deals with one of their successor PHPs, the Unreal State. The Unreal State most likely has deep ties to the social thought behind the Progress Cult which was Anarchoacademic Liberism.

For reasons you will come to understand, I hope, most of today's statements regarding the Unreal State must be coached in uncertainties. First however, let us discuss and attempt if not to define than circle a definition for Anarchoacademic Liberism. Anarchoacademic Liberism is an attempt at a revival of old Earthen ideologies of futurism and anarchism as understood by the Provost Major of the Progress Cult. To his understanding, anarchism was simply abolishing any and all social taboos and understandings as well as abolition of most state functions and futurism was putting ultimate faith in any and all new emergent technologies regardless of ethics behind them. As a student of Earthen and Human philosophies and ideologies, I must question where the Provost Major gained his understanding. The Provost Major thusly structured what remained of the Progress Cults state apparatus after various academic institutions supposing they would be best at encouraging the acquisition of information.

After the Applied Military Theories and the dissolution of the Progress Cult's holdings following the Provost Major's death, one of the break away polities was the Unreal State. The Unreal State was like many other successors to the Progress Cult, charismatic leaders putting their own spin on Anarchoacademic Liberism. However, the Unreal State took it one step forward, and began an assault against the very fundamental laws of reality.

This is now where things will have to enter supposition. Everything after this is conjecture. There are three possibilities to what the current Unreal State is.

The first is this, there is a pocket of space in what was once a Progress Cult controlled system once was. The Unreal State as much as it exists exists there, in space that no longer follows the same rules, if any, as the rest of reality if the space follows any rules at all. The Unreal State has managed to create a rupture in reality that in a system whose name can no longer be recorded on any form of media, believe me experts in the field of memetic hazardous storage have tried. Now that we have established that Unreal State now lies entirely within this rupture and potentially other ruptures comes the questions of those people who claim to be from the Unreal State. Those individuals we met claiming to be Citizens of the Land That Isn't and are displaying high levels of universal dissociation are from this Unreality and seek to spread its dissolution of reality with a fever that rivals adherents of the Green Orthodox Bible. Attempts to enter these gaping holes in reality, which now include what once was Mercury of the Sol System, more or less than resounding failures with to this dates no contact being able to be established or return trips emerging.

The second is this there is a pocket of space in what was once a Progress Cult controlled system once was. The second possible explanation is that these ruptures in space time are actually more akin wormholes, portals to a place we do not yet understand where only those who have spent long periods exposed to the Unreal State can survive, or those become citizens there. We have heard reports from surviving Citizens that have return that the state is engaged now and not just the war against the very fabric of reality but against those that maintain it and those beyond the veil. They claim knowledge of Cthulhiods, named after the Old Earthen Occultist’s Erotic Creation’s writing, and other creatures of the firmament such as Angels of Vangel. These citizens that they alone of humanity take the war for liberation to new fronts, they fulfill the work in words promised by humanity for years before. Whoever is part of this work they have emerged to changed, part of the universal disassociation is that in parlance some of you might laugh at they seem to clip through objects that were steady as possible they no longer react in the right ways on a physiochemical level to external interactions. Most worrisome part of this is that this does not seem to be isolated and is capable of spreading it is how Mercury once a famed center of medical research was dissolved and in the place where it once rotated now is a gaping Mall visible through the solar system at all times. It has made Earth's first colony Venus, turn itself into a fortificated world and reinforce the paranoia in isolation of the Martian gardeners. That of the four cradle worlds of mankind, on has been lost already, is a portent of doom.

The third is this there is a pocket of space in what was once a Progress Cult controlled system once was. This one is the most comforting one to me, all individuals claiming to be from the Unreal State are charlatans and delusional. The Unreal State does not in any form exist and it is merely a galactic Boogeyman. That all previous suppositions can be simply explained away through a clever trick of the hand and a heavy heavy dose of ignorance. This however is the least likely.

The one confirmed fragment I have found consistent is this.

"In the Unreal State, the whole of the law is this: There shall be no Law, neither against murder nor that yoke of gravity, and to oppose all other laws shall be your duty."

Even speaking of the Unreal State is fraught with the fact almost nothing is confirmed there are many suppositions many ideas of things that could be known but in the end what is confirmed is a little more than dust in the wind. I hope against hope to whatever deities that there truly are if they are benevolent in this world, that the Unreal State is simply a fiction of already unstable cultists. For the consider anymore of what it's potential truths imply makes me jealous of those with cybernetic implants who may cleanse their mind.

Now students, if any of you here are truly real or here, the lecture is over. Class dismissed. I hope to see you in some form again soon. I need a drink of coffee. Is this still recording?

The Role of Drones in Environmental Conservation

Environmental conservation has always been a critical focus for humanity, and in recent years, drones have emerged as a powerful tool in this mission. At SPH Aviation, we recognize the transformative potential of drone technology in preserving our planet. This blog explores how drones are revolutionizing environmental conservation efforts and the exciting opportunities they present for the future.

Monitoring Wildlife Populations

Drones offer a non-intrusive way to monitor wildlife populations and their habitats. Traditional methods of wildlife tracking often involve human presence, which can disturb animals and alter their natural behavior. Drones, equipped with high-resolution cameras and thermal imaging, can capture detailed images and videos from a distance without causing any disruption. This allows conservationists to:

Track animal movements: Observe migration patterns and habitat use.

Count populations: Accurately estimate population sizes.

Identify health issues: Detect signs of illness or injury in animals.

Fighting Poaching and Illegal Activities

Poaching remains a significant threat to many endangered species. Drones provide a cost-effective and efficient way to patrol large conservation areas and detect illegal activities. With their ability to cover vast distances quickly and capture real-time data, drones help conservationists:

Conduct regular patrols: Monitor areas for signs of poaching.

Gather evidence: Capture images and videos that can be used in legal proceedings.

Coordinate responses: Provide real-time information to rangers and law enforcement agencies.

Forest Conservation and Reforestation

Forests are vital to our planet's health, acting as carbon sinks and providing habitats for countless species. Drones play a crucial role in forest conservation by:

Mapping and monitoring: Create detailed maps of forested areas, monitor deforestation rates, and assess forest health.

Planting trees: Some drones are equipped with seed dispersal mechanisms, allowing them to plant trees in hard-to-reach areas. This can significantly speed up reforestation efforts.

Detecting diseases: Identify areas affected by diseases or pests and monitor the effectiveness of treatment efforts.

Environmental Research and Data Collection

Drones are invaluable tools for environmental research, enabling scientists to collect data from diverse and challenging environments. They can be used to:

Study ecosystems: Capture high-resolution images and videos of various ecosystems, providing valuable data for ecological studies.

Monitor water quality: Collect water samples and measure parameters like temperature, pH, and pollutant levels.

Analyze climate change impacts: Monitor changes in glaciers, ice caps, and coastal erosion, providing crucial data for climate change research.

Disaster Response and Management

Natural disasters like floods, hurricanes, and wildfires have devastating effects on the environment. Drones play a vital role in disaster response and management by:

Assessing damage: Quickly survey affected areas to assess damage and identify areas that need immediate attention.

Coordinating relief efforts: Provide real-time data to coordinate relief efforts and allocate resources effectively.

Monitoring recovery: Track the progress of recovery efforts and assess the long-term impacts of disasters on the environment.

Hi! Im from somewhere sa twitter! A lurker to be exact. Ive read some of your works sa ao3 and it makes me so delusional bcs some of it are filo in setting. Im here to share my unsolicited brainrot bcs i saw sa tweets mo na you want to write crack au. Ror

This is mildly inspired form a reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/s/pRpJLoupHf

So what if furina anak sa labas ng isang 1% but she feels like she dont belong there. She knows how the system of elite works, the lifestyle, the chismis, the whos who (sarcastically ofc) but find it all so Boringgggg! I mean, why do i even botherrrrrrrr *insert furina's voice*. Decided to get out of the ultra rich lifestyle after her estranged father's death (who just took her in para masabing "maayos" yung fam nila) to pursue her passion which is film. Pero di nagbabasa ng last will and testament which states taht hindi niya makukuha yung trust fund niya until mag graduate siya ng college kaya naging starving artist "para sa sining" stereotype of a student. Ginusto niya yun kaso yung drastic change ng lifestyle makes her struggle a lottt which includes doing a lot of first times like magcommute, maghanap ng part time, mag process ng sariling govt id, maglinis ng cr etc.

One night, after her shift sa burgeran ni aling nena jk, nagising siya na nakasandal sa shoulders ni neuvi sa jeep na nakapark kasi tapos na yung byahe and neuv is nahihiya na manggising lol. It was awkward at first but nakita niya yung watch ni neuv and by her past extravagant lifestyle knowledge its was a real cosmograph daytona rolex 116509 which she finds cute as the color blue complements him. She deduced that he might be a new money guy(bcs noveu riche types tend to buy that brand) and for him to be wearing that on a jeep means hes a superclueless dumbass that doesnt know how the world works or he doesnt care and is just a walking charity for a magnanakaw (spoiler: both). She was puzzled kasi if ever na hes REALLY like superduper rich in this country she should know him or at least be familiar with but hindi which is very weird. Bumaba na siya ng siya ng jeep at maglakad pauwi kaso sinundan siya ni neuv like a lost which creeps her. Then narinig niya na hiniholdap si neuv sa likod na willingly binigay agad yung watch to furina's horror her body moved at hinabol yung magnanakaw and blurted out if meron mang makikinabang sa relo na yun it should be her and not the magnanakaw bcs she saw it first. Furina throw one of her shoes tapos natamaan sa ulo yung magnanakaw sa ulo na nanging dahilan para mabitawan yung relo papunta sa highway. Furina chases it but neuvi pulled her back before she was abt to be hit by a truck. Furina screamed in disdain when the watch was destroyed. Tapos nagaway sila ni neuv abt how that watch worth is nothing compared to someones life furina retorted not when it was her life etc angst angst until bakit ba sinusundan ni neuv si furina turns out makikihiram siya ng phone kasi his drad battery daw siya and nawala yung luggage niya sa airport like Icocontact lang niya fam niya abroad. In the end sinamahan ni furina si neuv sa money exchanger para magpapalit ng foreign money para may pangkain sila. They ate pares sa sidewalk at 4 am.

WWAHHAHAHAHA turns out neuv has some hotshot new money billionaire parent who got rich thru stockmarkets and is now a silicon valley tycoon na may asawang pinoy , him being their son, they wanted him to get in touch with her roots, and build connection here by studying law and econ etc so when the time comes na mageexpand sila sa ph, neuv will handle it. Hindi naman nagtaka si furina bcs her initial assessment sa kanya is correct lol. Insert neuvifuri mutual semi-codependency adventures abt them surviving and finding a place where they belong in this new living set-up which includes neuvilette a clueless puppy paying her to give him intel abt his classmates (like a background check and chismis) in pursuit of good connections and potential investors for the future, touring him around the metro and exposing him to how this country really works sprinkled with moral dilemma ng pagiging mayaman at mahirap. Until furina's past comes back haunting her lol

Maybe a tired-i-dunno-what-todo-but-i-need-to-survive-college-for-that-trust-fund furina and stoic-but-im-trying-to-understand-things-and-humanity-like-a-fish-out-of-water neuvilette dynamics with hepa lane and national museum dates to making a tierlist kung anong pinakamasarap na sardinas sa market.

Ps. Insert Zhongli as a politician nepobaby hehe wink wink nudgenudge

ANON I LOVE THIS SO MUCH first saw this last week at ilang araw ko na siyang iniisip 😭 as a teleserye enjoyer patok na patok sa 'kin 'to fr 🙏

i can imagine this playing out a la 80s/90s pinoy college flicks (mga Rico Yan films ganun; saka Labs Kita Okey Ka Lang, Moral, etc), complete with the adventures the vibes and the college barkada 😅 considering Furina's personality i can't imagine her not having a lively friend group (tho she keeps her real social status from them)! and once Neuvi is in the picture, i imagine Furina would introduce him sa barkada as her "new friend", then the entire group shares knowing looks :3 but they welcome him to their group and they go to fun college stuff together!

feel ko considering that Neuvi is rich also there's no way he can't sense that Furi is not exactly the "starving artist" person she presents herself to be? like maybe he won't be able to pinpoint kung sino talaga siya ganun but he'd *sense* something "off" in her demeanor, her aura, in the way she's not quite like their other friends... and i think this is where the tension and the connection can come in... yeah they have their friend group but there are things abt each other that only they can understand. and even tho the friend group welcomed Neuvi, for some reason he's not quite at ease with them as he is with Furi, so ayun mas madalas tuloy silang dalawa lang ang magkasama.

'DI KO PA MAISIP HOW EXACTLY FURI'S PAST WILL COME TO THE PICTURE but you really really really got me at the Zhongli bit... LORD... LORD LORD... alam naman natin na ang political dynasties natin dito, ang ancestors ay mga landlords na ilang siglo nang namumuno sa bansa, so of course if Zhongli is a nepo baby politician, he knows who Furi is. i'm also considering what if Furi and Zhongli's families arranged them into marriage etc... sorry hilaw pa talaga ideas ko dito i'm just dumping playing around with concepts

Zhongli in canon is supportive of the idea of humans leading things their own way, so i think he'd be supportive naman of Furi's pursuits? like he won't be an antagonistic type of second-lead who'd be so controlling, who'd discourage her from her adventures. but he'd definitely disapprove of whatever-Nvfr-has-going-on LMAOO feel ko ano, since Neuvi is this clueless person who clings to Furi (in a way), Zhongli would perceive it as smth like, Neuvi-is-an-incompetent-person-who-holds-Furi-back? imagine kasi oh, imbis na Furi is focusing on herself and on doing what she wants, she also has to help Neuvi with stuff ganun. ta's maiisip ni Zhongli, "naku kung ako 'yan 'di kita gaganiyanin" EMZ but like Zhongli would think he can provide Furi stability, complete support, if ever she'd need it. he thinks he can be her rest, kumbaga— and this, he believes, is smth the "clueless incompetent" Neuvi can't give her.

WAIT WHY AM I DETAILING ON ZHONGLI ALL OF A SUDDEN ugh sorry this is rly how i go every time that grandpa is involved 😔 anyway i still imagine this will be Nvfr endgame

I HAVE MORE THOUGHTS ON THIS THAT I JUST CAN'T ARTICULATE YET (medyo nagmamadali rin ako ngayon PLEASE i'm typing this during my commute) PERO AYAN MUNA NGAYON 🙏 thank you so much for sharing this with me, anon ❤ if you have more to say on this pls feel free to drop by in my inbox again!! (or kahit sa DMs ko, since you're from Twt naman, if you're comf with that!!!!)
