SORRY IM GOING TO LATCH ONTO THIS GOR THE NEXT, LIKE, WEEK.

#THEY HAVE SO MANY REASONS TO INTERACT #AND THE FORGE/EIGHTFOLD RELATIONS ARE. DRIVING ME NNNNNUTS #PAPER AND FIRE? PAPER AND FIRE??? THERES NI WAY THERE ISNT AT LEAST SSSSSOMEWHTIBN PLANNED THERE LIKE COME ON ZACK PLEASE PPPPOOLEAHESE

[starburstdragon]

So during my Paranatural reread I am noticing several overt references being made to how Isabel is like. Weirdly good at connecting with spirits. Like it’s brought up that most Spectrals can’t even really use their Tool’s powers if they’re not touching the object, but Isabel could manipulate paper when Eightfold was multiple yards away. Spender punts Scrapdragon’s bat across the room and figures that’s far enough it can’t hear him, but Isabel’s communicating with Eightfold after her book’s been lost out the other side of a train car and fallen at least 20 or 30 feet already. She’s like, beyond prodigal at this sort of thing, and it’s no secret.

But her grandfather never acknowledges it. Maybe he doesn’t know because Isabel and Ed never told him, knowing he wouldn’t be impressed. Maybe he doesn’t care because Spectrals need to be able to rely on themselves in an emergency so obviously any skill with Tools is wasted. But Isabel has this great ability, and he’s squandering it because it’s not the one he wants from her. He’s not proud of what she can do because it’s not what he’s good at.

And it’s super fucking blatant with the whole situation regarding Flipflop. Master Guerra gives Isabel Flipflop’s Tool because he thinks having a “useless” spirit/ability will wean her off using Tools, but after one conversation with the little guy she’s using his power damn near as instinctively as she was with Eightfold! There’s like one moment where she seems surprised by how it’s working (when she flips around to the other side of the classroom door) and then the next fight scene she’s already moving and grooving with the umbrella and flipping like a pro. There’s basically no adjustment period at all! That’s impressive! And nobody around her comments on how impressive it is, because her grandfather doesn’t care, Mr. Spender was possessed and didn’t see it, and the rest of the Activity Club is like “That’s Isabel, of course she’s awesome with her Tool” because they’re children and they don’t realize just how awesome why she did actually is.

Isabel’s never going to be good enough for her grandfather because she is never going to be her grandfather. But she’s damn good.

Canaan House Lab Notes

Second House Lab

Trial Transference/Winnowing

Key Claimed by the Ninth through completion of the trial.

Lab Includes a laboratory , a training floor, guns, and a comfy sitting area with two beds, "separated only by a nightstand". Even so Gideon calls it "more lab than living space".

Theorem "Transference" according to Harrow is "the utilisation of a living soul". Not quite reading someone's mind, but "borrowing perceptions". I believe it's necessary for step two of the Eightfold Word: "analyse [the soul]- understand its structure, its shape".

Third House Lab

Trial Unclear

Key Claimed by the Sixth

Lab Presumably similar to Ianthe's room on the Mithraeum

Theorem All things considered, probably "step six: consume the flesh".

Fourth House Lab

Trial Unclear

Key claimed by the Sixth

Lab Wish we knew enough about Ulysses and Titania to jump to conclusions on what was inside.

Theorem ?

Fifth House Lab

Trial Unclear

Key claimed by the Sixth

Lab WHAT kind of room did Alfred and Augustine have? Is it similar to his room on the Mithraeum, i.e. classy, elegant, and full of books and 'ancient' artefacts?

Theorem ?

Sixth House Lab

Trial Psychometric; the molar leading to one of the skeleton servitors.

Key Completed by Cytherea, some time before the Avulsion trial. Key later given to Silas Octakiseron; copy made by Palamedes Sextus and Harrowhark Nonagesimus.

Lab Looks like "an open-plan bomb wreck... as though somebody had left the place in a hurry or simply been an unbelievable slob". (I'll leave it to you whether you think that's likely for Cassie and Nigella.) Tools, papers, a chin-up bar, and sleeping bags; no beds.

Theorem Theorem appears to be related to Teacher and the skeletons, and the necessity of maintaining an energy source to do necromancy. I believe it's step one of the Eightfold Word: "preserve the soul, with intellect and memory intact" - since that's exactly what makes a "hideous corpses" so special.

Seventh House Lab

Trial Unclear.

Key Claimed by trial by the Fifth, and killed over it. Key hidden in Abigail, where Cytherea presumably had access to it; later retrieved by the third House.

Lab Sparsely furnished, but lovingly decorated and painted. Rolled-up mattresses and embroidered quilts.

Theorem According to Ianthe, the theorem corresponds to step four of the lyctoral process: "fix [the soul] in place so it can't deteriorate". I would like to note here that I have no idea when the message was left on the wall. I don't think Cytherea would have had time for it before the Fifth were found... did she take the key out and put it back in at some point?

Eighth House Lab

Trial Avulsion

Key Completed by the Ninth, key passed on as per the agreement to Cytherea. Key passed on later to Silas Octakiseron, "for safekeeping".

Lab Lab remains undescribed. But it's not like I'm salty or anything.

Theorem Relatively safe to assume that it's "Step Three, remove and absorb [the soul]: take it into yourself without consuming it in the process." Almost confirmed by Ianthe to be the final step, "hook up the cables and get the power flowing." (thanks, @fire-swift!)

Ninth House Lab

Trial Unclear - but we can probably assume it's related to bones, so it's utterly fascinating to me that Silas even decided to attempt it.

Key Claimed by the Eighth.

Lab Never once seen by anyone, because Silas is an intellectual cretin and a dog in a manger.

Theorem Could it be related to Harrow's conception or the tomb somehow?

--

For the record: I'm relatively certain of the theorems and how they correspond to the Eighthfold Word, but we only know the one Ianthe mentions for sure.

The parts I haven's assigned:

"Step five, incorporate it: find a way to make the soul part of yourself without being overwhelmed."

"Step seven is reconstruction - making spirit and flesh work together the way they used to, in the new body."

"Step Three, remove and absorb [the soul]: take it into yourself without consuming it in the process."

Which would have to go to the Fourth, the Fifth, or the Ninth respectively. Is Incorporation how Abigail manages to deal with the "savage" dead? Is Reconstruction how the Reverend Parents managed to modify an ovum on the chromosomal level? Does "absorption" refer to Isaac's blue-green sodium explosion?

Did John have his own lab, somewhere in there?

#I 'had some thoughts' that I wanted to 'quickly jot down' and now it's at least three hours later #ah well. at least now I have a reference sheet that isn't yet another sloppily drawn table with nine columns #tell me if you think I got anything wrong! #the locked tomb #chaos has theories #once again returning to these old questions: #what did teacher know? why is that basement so very haunted? why the hell did Cytherea use bone constructs anyway? #gideon the ninth #tlt meta #the locked tomb meta

“The war in Ukraine is also a battle for raw materials. The country has large deposits of iron, titanium and lithium, some of which are now controlled by Russia.” That’s what the federally owned German foreign trade agency Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI) reported on its website on January 16 under the title “Ukraine’s raw materials wealth at risk.”

There are trillions at stake. According to the GTAI, “raw material deposits worth $12.4 trillion” remain beyond the control of the Ukrainian army, “including 41 coal mines, 27 gas deposits, 9 oil fields and 6 iron ore deposits.” Ukraine has not only coal, gas, oil and wheat but also rare earths and metals—especially lithium, which has been called the “white gold” of the transition to new energy and transportation technologies. The country accounts for around one-third of Europe’s explored lithium deposits.

Only the ignorant could believe that this is irrelevant to NATO’s war aims. It would be the first major war in over 100 years that is not about mineral resources, markets and geostrategic interests. The World Socialist Web Site has pointed out in previous articles that deposits of critical raw materials in Russia and China, which are essential to the transition to electric mobility and renewable energy, are an important factor in the war calculus of NATO states.

Yet they go unmentioned in the media’s round-the-clock war propaganda. The media wish the public to believe that NATO is waging this war to defend “freedom” and “democracy”—and that after bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria back into the Middle Ages under similar pretexts.

Relevant trade journals, industry magazines and think tanks, on the other hand, rave about Ukraine’s mineral wealth and discuss how best to capture it. It was to this end that German Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Green Party) even traveled to Ukraine at the beginning of April with a high-ranking business delegation.

According to the industry magazine Mining World, Ukraine has a total of around 20,000 raw material deposits, of which only 7,800 have been explored. Numerous other articles and strategy papers openly state that this is what the war is about.

On February 24, 2022, the day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the largest German business magazine, Capital, published an article stating that “Europe’s supply of raw materials” was “threatened” by the Russian occupation of eastern Ukraine. Ukraine was not only “the leading grain exporter” but also the largest EU supplier of iron ore pellets and “a linchpin for Europe’s energy security.” Among investors, the magazine said, there is “concern that the war will cut off exports of key raw materials.”

The GTAI article cited earlier reports that European steel mills were sourcing nearly one-fifth of their iron ore pellets from Ukraine in 2021. GTAI goes on to write that Ukraine is among the top ten producers of iron ore, manganese, zirconium, and graphite, and is “among the world leaders in titanium and kaolin.” In addition to “untapped oil and gas fields,” Ukraine’s lithium and titanium deposits, in particular, hold “enormous potential” for the European economy. In 2020, production volumes amounted to 1,681,000 tons of kaolin, 537,000 tons of titanium, 699,000 tons of manganese and 49,274,000 tons of iron ore.

Lithium for electromobility and energy storage

The price of lithium has increased more than eightfold in the last decade and is the subject of intense speculation. The metal is of strategic importance to the major imperialist powers because it is used in lithium-ion batteries installed in electric vehicles and off-grid renewable energy sources, and is also needed for lightweight aluminum alloys in the aerospace industry.

The largest lithium deposit in Europe is located in the Donetsk Oblast in the middle of the embattled Donbas region, only kilometers from the front lines. An article in the Tagesspiegel, published two months after the Russian invasion, points to untapped lithium reserves of 500,000 tons in Shevchenko near Potrovsk and at least two other Ukrainian deposits.

Western companies and Ukrainian oligarchs were already fighting bitterly for control of this “white gold” before the war. As the Tagesspiegel reports, “Ukrainian businessmen” (who stood close to the Ukrainian government of the time under the oligarch Petro Poroshenko) with connections to Western mining companies obtained mining licenses, without a tender process, for the lithium deposit in Shevchenko as early as 2018.

The company in question, Petro Consulting—which was renamed “European Lithium Ukraine” shortly before the war began—is expected to be bought out by the Australian-European mining company European Lithium once its access to Ukraine’s lithium reserves is secured.

In 2018, when the Ukrainian Geological Survey refused to issue a “special permit” for Ukraine’s second largest lithium deposit at Dobra, likewise bypassing the tender process, Petro Consulting went so far as to sue the agency. After the Ukrainian Procurator General’s Office eventually launched an investigation into the allegedly illegal special permits, Petro-Consulting had its Shevchenko mining license revoked by the courts in April 2020 until further notice.

However, a spokesman for European Lithium told Der Tagesspiegel that the company bears “no risk in connection with the Ukrainian deposits.” He expressed confidence that the projects would be “made production-ready” after the end of the war.

Titanium for the Western arms industry

In a September 2022 article titled “Ukraine’s Titanium Can Armor the West,” the transatlantic think tank Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) wrote: “Support for Ukraine has been driven by strategic concerns and moral-political values. But long-term Western help should also be based on solid material interests.”

“Ukraine’s substantial titanium deposits” are “a key resource critical to the West” because the metal is “integral to many defense systems,” such as aircraft components and missiles. Currently, the raw material for Airbus, Boeing and Co. is extracted “in an expensive and time-consuming six-step process” from titanium ore, which until then had been sourced to a considerable extent from Russia. This “dependence” on “strategic competitors and adversaries” is unacceptable from the West’s point of view and can be ended with the help of Ukrainian resources:

For example, Dnipro-based Velta, the largest private exporter of raw titanium in Europe, has developed a new production system that bypasses the intensive process of producing titanium sponge and could supply the US and European defense and aerospace industries with finished metal. Given there are only five countries in the world actively producing titanium sponge —China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan and Ukraine — Velta’s technology could be a game changer for the supply chain by cutting reliance on Russia and China.

CEPA is funded by US and European defense contractors and lists as members of its “scientific advisory board” Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor General H. R. McMaster, former German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt and publicists Anne Applebaum, Francis Fukuyama, and Timothy Garton Ash among others.

The CEPA article continues, “Reorienting titanium contracts to Ukraine would stimulate the country’s economy, even during wartime, not to mention during postwar reconstruction, and simultaneously strike another blow at Russia’s war machine.” The goal, it states, should be “cementing Ukraine’s integration into Europe.”

A January 28, 2023 report in Newsweek reports, “there is a nascent effort underway in the U.S. and allied nations to identify, develop, and utilize Ukraine’s vast resources of a key metal crucial for the development of the West’s most advanced military technology which will form the backbone of future deterrence against Russia and China.” The report adds, “If Ukraine wins, the U.S. and its allies will be in sole position to cultivate a new conduit of titanium.”

“Strategic raw materials partnership” between EU and Ukraine

The US and EU efforts to plunder Ukraine’s lithium and titanium deposits are part of the broader goal of tying Ukraine to the West as a strategic raw materials supplier. In particular, the EU is seeking to free itself from dependence on China—currently its most important raw materials supplier—against which the imperialist powers, especially the United States, are preparing to wage war.

On July 13, 2021, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and Maroš Šefčovič, Vice President of the European Commission, signed a “Strategic Partnership on Raw Materials and Batteries” in Kiev to “integrate critical raw materials and battery value chains.” Ukraine’s inclusion in the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) and the European Battery Alliance (EBA) serves to “bolster Europe’s resilience and open strategic autonomy in key technologies,” the EU Commission said.

Referring to the list of critical raw materials in the EU’s associated “action plan,” Šefčovič told the press, “21 of these critical raw materials are in Ukraine, which is also extracting 117 out of 120 globally used minerals.” He added: “We’re talking about lithium, cobalt, manganese, rare earths—all of them are in Ukraine.”

Following the signing, EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton, who is also responsible for the defense and space industries of EU countries, praised the “high potential of the critical raw material reserves in Ukraine” that could help in “addressing some of the strategic dependencies [of the EU].”

Speaking at Raw Materials Week in Brussels in November 2022, Prime Minister Shmyhal stressed that Ukraine is “among the top ten producers of titanium, iron ore, kaolin, manganese, zirconium and graphite” and renewed his pledge to make the country an “integral part of industrial supply chains in the EU.”

The EU’s “strategic dependencies” are by no means limited to Russia or China and certainly not to Ukraine. A global race for strategic sources of raw materials has long since begun, in the course of which the US and the leading EU powers are attempting to divide among themselves the mineral resources and other resources of the “weaker” states. Although they are jointly waging war against Russia in Ukraine, this inevitably exacerbates conflicts between themselves as well.

The escalation of the war in Ukraine shows that the ruling elites are willing to go to extremes to enforce their profit interests. Only the working class can put an end to permanent war and the prospect of devastating nuclear war by bringing the resources of the entire planet under its democratic control on the basis of a socialist program and holding war profiteers to account.

Octopath Writing Prompts - an eightfold self-challenge!

Because I’d been wondering about what kind of fics I could write for Octopath CotC, I decided to make myself a list of prompts as inspiration. It’s a bit of an eightfold challenge to myself - three sets of eight prompts on various themes: Elemental, Emotional, and a non-specific set of prompts that came out of brainstorming.

I decided to put them on here, so I don’t forget! (Also so that I don’t have any excuses in case I lose the bit of paper they’re written on. I’m such an analogue person!) I don’t have any fancy graphic-making skills either, so it’s just a boring text list. :D

I don’t have any timescale for these, nor am I pressurising myself to get them written, so without further ado:

***Elemental Prompts:

Fire/Flame - Ice - Wind - Lightning - Light - Dark - Water - Earth.

***Emotional/Feelings prompts:

Fear - Surprise - Sadness/Despair - Disgust/Hate - Anger - Hope/Anticipation - Joy - Trust.

***Non-specific Prompts:

Betrayal - Redemption - Failure - Celebration - Ring - Freedom - Escape - Dream/Nightmare.

If I get any more eightfold ideas for fic series, I’ll add them to the lists. At the very least, I’ve got something to be going on with, once my current fic is done. :)

The Eightfold Path (An Endorsement)

If anything can be said about Abrams ComicArts books, it’s that they are undeniably beautiful. Aside from what lies within their pages, the books themselves are works of art. They are portable museums. The colors, the weight and heft of the paper used, the end paper designs, the cover images chosen, these make the books worth looking at. The stories being told? These make the books worth buying.…

also this guest comic by victoria grace elliot makes me so . it like. isabel making a fake eightfold right after losing her best friend. pretending she’s still there to talk to her. the effects drawn around the paper construct in panel 4 to show the feelings isabel looks at it with. the embarrassment she feels upon someone seeing. how she would rather make a fake of her dead best friend to talk about her feelings with than talk about her feelings with her other supposed alive best friend. the soft serene smile on her face in panel 3 and the way it drops into a frown in panel 6. she’s looking at this and its a small comfort but she knows its wrong and probably more than a little fucked up. maybe even guilty. the dog poster in panel 1 that even after the ghost train experience she hasn’t taken down.

#paranatural #isabel guerra #also this is secondary but the way victoria draws her is SO CUTE….. I LOVE THIS DESIGN SO MUCH.. #like its such a funny comic page but once i start Thinking about it for more than 2 seconds it starts giving me demons #its so good. its so good #isabel disease
