V: “and who might you be, you emo looking motherfucker? I just know you have a traumatic backstory, like that is unique at this point.”

Irene: “how about you shut your mouth and listen for once, you egotistical bastard. At this point I’m starting to think you just love the sound of your own voice.”

Themis: “oh, Irene, Cadence, is that you two? I haven’t seen you two in a while.”

Arpeggio: “!? The hell?”

*meanwhile, in the city of Japanifornia, a man is currently listening to each name his secretary is listing off for potential employees to his business. The man had gray hair, a thin gray mustache, a monocle, wore a white suit, with white gloves, Dark brown loafers, and a rosebud on his right lapel. He was sitting in his fancy leather chair at the top of a skyscraper, the tallest in Japanifornia.*

???:"...поре.... поре.... поре....nope…....no-actually, what was that name you gave me?"

Secretary: "um.....Erin Woods?"

???: "yes, that one, she sounds perfect."

Secretary: "b-but mister Blackwell, she has a criminal record. do you really want her to be working for you?"

Blackwell: "since when has a criminal record stopped me from hiring. I'm a generous man. I ask that you email her that she has been hired and I look forward to seeing her tomorrow at 8:30 AM on the dot."

Secretary: “...understood, sir."

*The secretary, though a bit hesitant, agrees to Blackwells orders and emails woods account that Blackwell has personally hired her and wants to see her tomorrow at 8:30 AM on the dot.*

*When it was time, Erin came to the building, not knowing what to expect.

...You're mister Blackwell, right?

(I have a criminal record, why would you hire me...?! False accusations or not, still... hiring me personally?)

GEHENNA ART + LAYOUT UPDATE!

Hi! Li here again hijacking the main control with another art update!

You can see here's a sample of how the 2-page layout for Gehenna would look, and how it would look on a regular layout for PDF! I'm using the Polemos as a sample.

As for updates, 5/6 ARC mechs have been prepped for layout, and I'll most likely be moving onto the Locksteel ones soon. We're looking at a potential 120 page supplement given how the mechs will be taking up at least 70+ of them (and thats not even counting the talents + extras!)

So keep an eye out for future updates, including KS backing news soon!!!

Everyday I wake up in the morning and wonder why war Gods in Greek Mythology are SOOOO underrated...

Like there aren't only Ares and Athena... there are plenty of war gods in all Greek Mythology that nobody knows, like the Makhai, spirits of the battle: Homados, Kudoimos, Proioxis, Palioxis and Alala, or Polemos (father of the Makhai and war incarnate), or Enyo (sister and in some myths wife of Ares), or Enyalios (son of Enyo and Ares, horror incarnate)...

I mean WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THEM AAAAAHH

[deathlessathanasia]

Perhaps the notion that Ares has a twin sister comes from Homer's Iliad? He states that Eris, goddess of strife & discord is Ares' sister and companion that follows him to war and gets bigger and bigger as the killing increases?

Yes. His twin is claimed to be either Eris or Enyo, the latter of which is kind of strange since unlike Eris she is not even called the sister of Ares, but of Polemos.

I do actually find the idea of Ares and Eris being twins appealing, but I just don't like it when people state it as a fact.

History and Theory of inconstant and polar law

(The) Law, that can be a readable object or an object that lets read (and is thus formed from the marks/ 'mauls' and clammy missives/ trajecories that are called letters because they are objects that let).

There is a phrase by Walter Benjamin that is also used in reference to Aby Warburg, precisely because of the impulses that drove Walter Benjamin in the mid-twenties (once again unsuccessfully) to connect with the Warburg library. These impulses lie in what Walter Benjamin calls the magical and mantic practices in censored passages (passages he himself cancelled) of the pile of fluttering notes or sheets of paper called his historical-philosophical theses. Censoring is also a magical and mantic practice, especially before the ' expropriation of the diviner and fortune-teller'.

Benjamin shared with Warburg an interest in that part of Roman law which is so subliminal that some deny that it was Roman law at all (even Marie Theres-Fögen, who originated the history and theory expropriation of the diviner and fortune-teller, denied that the magical and mantic practices, the juridical cultural techniques of the Roman censors, were law).

What jurisprudence needed of it was declared an auxiliary science as a precautionary measure; today we also speak (and believe it to be generous) of neighboring sciences. Warburg became famous for his knowledge of this part of Roman law: this applies to his work on the measurement and administration of time, his knowledge of calendar history. He gave a famous and legendary lecture on Rome (not only Lacan) in 1912 in the library that today belongs to the Max Planck Society and bears the venerable title of Hertziana. Thanks to his knowledge of the measurement and management of time and his knowledge of the history of the calendar, he succeeded in deciphering the iconographic program in the Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara. This knowledge goes hand in hand with a knowledge of astronomy and astrology, furthermore with a knowledge of the history of alchemy and hermeticism - and always with a knowledge of magical and mantic practice. It was from an encounter with magical and mantic practice, the 'Reigen' or dance that became known as the snake ritual, that Warburg first began to develop his history and theory of Roman law, or of a law in which antiquity 'survives'. Neither Warburg nor Benjamin would come up with the idea of therefore committing art and irrationality to one another and 'outdifferentiating' law and art in this respect. But neither of them belong to the Critical Theory, Frankfurt School, non-Benjamin department. Benjamin is even the founder of the Critical Theory/ Frankfurt School/ Department Benjamin.

So there is a sentence that comes from Walter Benjamin and that Georges Didi-Huberman related to Aby Warburg in his book on the atlas or anxious, gay science. Reading what has never been written: this is something that Benjamin and Warburg would develop as a routine, technique or procedure. Writing that does not stand: even stretched this far into e realm of polemos, is how I want to interpret it. The magical and mantic practices have to do with a reading beyond the concepts of scripture, beyond writing and beyond standing. Other graphics and other choreographies also become legible here, those that are not 'understood' on their own and thus do not merge into the concept, that are not writing and that also do something other than stand, stay and be constant in it.

The knowledge of such magical and mantic practices is archived in Roman law, among others, in a material that is subliminal or minor. According to Cornelia Vismann: The material is not written and by that constituted and authorized, is not a constitution of Roman law and offers Roman law no constitution, only versions, only versions and thus twists and turns, only traffic. This material only administers and is only administered, constantly sorted without ever being in/the order. It is in the form of a file (i.e. also recorded, lamented, accused and desired/filed), is sometimes confused with what a book is supposed to be, but is and remains file material, full of lists, tables and images. The material is so unstable that from the 19th century onwards, with its national and university efforts at homogenization, systematization, authentication and appropriation, it is considered too dubious to seriously share in the pride of the essence of Roman law. This may even be why Mommsen left the editing of the unstable and therefore dubious material to his student Otto Seeck. In this respect, it is questionable whether this material, which cannot be committed to either heterogeneity or homogeneity, is text. Fabrication it is. The most famous material is the notitia dignitatum (the material that can also be read as an atlas and shows piles of tables on tables).

For a history and theory of inconstant and polar law, I suggest exploring the affinities between what Aby Warburg calls Gestellschieberei, what Lévi-Strauss calls bricolage, and what Jesper Svenbro calls ant trails in his history and theory of cultural technique 'reading'. South America comes to mind, because it is a place where the ants are constantly running and chipping away at the leaves (presumably because here a flat-rate summeriness still occupies the other three seasons). In Germany,we do "Stoßlüften" on planned dates, in Brazil the ants leave with the leaves, the wohle year throught: these are sequences, sequences, because everything that occurs here also occurs there, only in different sequences.

Such ant trails are service routes of bricolage, 'Gestelle werden geschoben' along them - and these are also to be counted among the thorough, founding, bargaing, tricky but advancing lines: That would be a working thesis. Ants that take off with the leaves also allow something, but they also defoliate. Ants also sort, even if they sort the leaves in the way that is not only described on the leaves of Benjamin's theses, but also in the way that happened to Benjamin's leaves, i.e. even if they contain tilts, turns and twists that are accompanied by catastrophic and apocalyptic whirls.
