#cete team

[teamconductors]

Honestly, I was expecting that somehow Giratina and Volo fused to some degree as recompense for what he did alive. While at first he is reluctant to cete for the Distortion World, nothing but time makes one reflect and want to make better past actions. So now GiriVolo is a mostly rehabilitated mon, perhaps a lil cheeky on occasion but ultimately a good bean. But because their souls and consciousnesses fused in the way it did the Team Wish's Spiritomb couldn't sense that Volo was alive and "reincarnated" the whole time. So they basically tortured the ever living shit out of their beloved master without knowing...that sure would be sad :)

That would be wild!

BADGER CHARACTERISTICS Smallish • Patriotic • Protective • Passionate • Blunt • Aggressive

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Taxidea taxus

COLLECTIVE TERM: A cete of badgers

CONFIDENCE PERSONIFIED

Badgers are closely related to weasel personalities and share the same range as their cousins the skunks. What distinguishes badgers from their relatives is their extraordinary physical and emotional strength and tenacious approach to life's challenges. Good looking, small to medium sized individuals, they walk and talk as if they own the world and their powerfully built bodies and dominating personalities back down for none, even for the much larger personality of the lion. Badgers will confidently enter the territory of others and woe betide anyone who blocks their path.

BADGERS SURPRISE EVERYONE WITH THEIR TOUGHNESS

Like most carnivores badgers stay in shape with regular physical activity and tend to be particularly well-dressed and precisely groomed. They enjoy all sports and their competitive natures drive them to the edges of their abilities, but because of their small size, sometimes feel the need to assert themselves to gain the respect accorded the larger carnivores. However, the badger's tendency to bite off more than it can chew often results in an overestimation of its capabilities. Having the heart of a tiger is both their greatest asset and biggest downfall.

Badger personalities seldom find time for the finer pleasures of life. Art and literature are considered distracting to the pursuit of resources, and their reading habits are usually confined to light fiction or popular action novels.

BADGERS IN THE WORKPLACE

Badgers are almost always successful in business but often find themselves over their heads. Their towering ambitions cause them to make sweeping plans without considering the finer details of the exercise. With such an abundance of self-confidence, they sometimes rush headlong into overwhelming situations and are forced to burrow their way out. Even so, they never go down without a fight.

Badgers are highly regarded as leaders, especially by the smaller animal personalities, but their physical statures can limit their political or business ambitions. This doesn't deter them from running races they are destined to lose, for like their weasel cousins, badgers are opportunists and will team up with more thoughtful animal personalities to offset their impetuous natures. As salespeople, they have few equals and jobs requiring a high degree of proactive selling are perfect for the badger's get-up-and-go personality. As managers, they might be somewhat overbearing, but they are always fair and rational. Badgers don't exhibit much of an ego and – while rooting for opportunities, always generate a great deal of respect from their peers.

THE WILD BADGER

A bearlike animal with short, powerful legs and strong claws, the badger is armed with musk glands (like its close relative the skunk), and relies on its powerful and stocky three-foot-long body to protect itself. Because of their nocturnal habits, they are rarely observed in the wild, although they are common throughout Northern Europe and the United States. A badger's response to danger can be quite astonishing. When threatened, the hair on its body stands on end and it suddenly looks twice its normal size. When combined with a violent snarling sound, its blustering reaction is enough to frighten off any would-be predator.

CAREERS & HOBBIES

Engineer • Soldier • Reporter • Police

 Basketball • Gambling • Golfing • Hunting • Fishing • Debating

LOVE & FRIENDSHIP

As a hot-blooded mammal, the badger thrives on the excitement of new relationships and sexual conquests. But this incorrigible flirt and voracious lover is untraditional when it comes to matters of romance... no roses and chocolates for this feisty character. To celebrate an anniversary, it's more likely to be found climbing a mountain than spending a quiet night at home.

When a badger finally does settle down, it usually mates for life and proves to be a passionate and committed partner. Loyalty is imperative to the badger, and it is not shy about demanding reciprocation; nothing is more unpleasant than dealing with a badger who feels cheated. Partners who manage to accept their intense natures will experience an exquisite and unrelenting love affair.

These carnivorous personalities appreciate someone who can give them a run for their money, and when kept guessing, badgers will respond with a high level of interest. The adventurous spirit of the canine family particularly intrigues them and the badger's finest moments come in a relationship with the intellectually challenging and physically adept wild dog. Sensitive animal personalities like mice, cottontails, porcupines, and peacocks are advised to give this aggressive animal a wide berth, while unions with stubborn bear, wolf or wildcat personalities can be quite fulfilling. With their common tenacious attitudes, these partnerships will retain their intensity for a long time.

Since badgers need a little challenge in their lives, all their partners are advised not to back down to their sometimes unreasonable demands.

Sensitive animal personalities like mice, cottontails, porcupines, and peacocks are advised to give this aggressive animal a wide berth, while unions with stubborn bear, wolf or wildcat personalities can be quite fulfilling. With their common tenacious attitudes, these partnerships will retain their intensity for a long time.

Since badgers need a little challenge in their lives, all their partners are advised not to back down to their sometimes unreasonable demands.

Akali might also be an eagle.

EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS: Attractive • Self-confident • Impatient SCIENTIFIC NAME: Aquila chrysaetos COLLECTIVE TERM:  A convocation of eagles

STRONG AND UNTAMABLE

“There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” - Carl Sandburg

Universally admired for its soaring spirit, the eagle has a striking presence that exudes a powerful sexual energy. As is typical of bird personalities, their high metabolisms make them edgy and unable to remain in one place for long. These fascinating creatures are natural explorers and nothing gets their juices flowing more than an exotic locale and their effervescence makes them appealing lovers. However, their obsession for freedom makes them difficult creatures to tame.

AN EAGLE IS UNMISTAKABLE

Sleek and well groomed, the eagle's looks are striking, even if they occasionally have minor aesthetic flaws (perhaps a bald spot or big nose), and they exude a strong sexual energy that turns heads. They enjoy most outdoor activities and have a particular affinity for extreme sports like sky diving, rock climbing, or bungee jumping.

THE EAGLE PERSONALITY ON THE JOB

Eagles do not adjust well to the confines of office work where they easily become unsettled and perform poorly, unless the work is creative and challenging.

Outdoor jobs are coveted, and eagles enjoy working in the hot sun as a construction worker, serving in a natural setting as a park ranger or piloting the friendly skies. The proverbial legal eagle, they also enjoy the creative freedom of litigation, police, and detective work. However, eagles do not adjust well to the confines of office work. When they find themselves in this kind of career they become unsettled and perform poorly, unless the work is creative and challenging.

THE EAGLE IS A BIRD AT HEART

Eagles are truly at their best when performing for others. Like the wild eagle whose aerial displays attract a large audience, they are in their element when singing, acting, or telling stories. But their enthusiasm for life comes at a price -- because even when their spirits are low -- they feel obliged to always seem upbeat.

EAGLES IN THE WILD

Perhaps from its use on the seal of the United States of America, the eagle has become the most familiar of birds. Most eagles are solitary and only come together in groups when prey is plentiful.

Eagles take a variety of small animals for food and are not averse to eating carrion, and a spectacular method of feeding is the eagle's habit of robbing ospreys. By constantly harrying an osprey carrying a captured fish, the eagle forces the bird to drop the fish, and sometimes they will even grab the fish from the osprey's talons while in mid-flight.

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP

Eagles are quite comfortable with their own company, and prefer to first feather their nests -- by achieving a level of success in their personal lives -- before rushing into commitment.  They relish the challenges that intimacy brings and, when they do tie the knot, their strong nesting instincts make them loyal and dedicated partners. Eagles are attracted mainly to independent mammal personalities like the fox, wolf, and wildcat, but they are not above trolling for companionship amongst smaller animal personalities:  mice, snakes, shrews, and moles are particularly vulnerable to the eagle's lusty appetites.

Ultimately, the eagle's perfect match is the mountain goat with whom it shares a love for solitude and mountain top vistas. There is an instant connection with these enigmatic animals and the relationship is destined for great heights.

ultima thule

speaking about hieroglyphic verse and ideographs, although they are under no obligation to make sense, it is great to encounter in them the euphony, the sonic bliss, transforming text into the polyphonic prose and restructuring the architectonics of the work. although the devices should not preclude us from getting the sense of what it is that is being said, like in the wonderful example from The Book of Forms by Lewis Putnam Turco:

“Synonymia is a paraphrase in parallel structures (“I love you; you are my beloved”); synthesis is consequence in parallel structures (“I love you; therefore, I am yours”); antithesis is the opposition of ideas (antinomy) expressed in parallel structures (“I love you, and I loathe you”); auxesis is the building up, in parallel structures, of a catalog or series that ultimately closes at the zenith (high point) of the set (the climax: “I love your eyes, hair, breasts; I love the way you walk and speak; I love you”). Epithomema is climactic summation at the conclusion of a sequence.” (Turco, 2012, 11) (emphases are the author’s, dotingly preserved, of course). I’d like to hear my streams read one day in their entirety (in which case everything that is written across one line should be pronounced simultaneously, maybe in one voice, maybe in different voices), but good declaimers are extremely rare. I once heard The Waste Land read in (I think it was The Waste Land but perhaps it was The Love Song) many voices; it was brutal. poetry cannot be read with theatrical intonations.

I suggested, a book could be eventually made out of it. “yes,” he replied, “but the issue here is, we do not know yet how toxic this new material is exactly.”                                                                                      language is sea                                                                                   elements                                                    sea but not of water                                                    of fire I think someone (Limonov, I think) lost his manuscript in prison and restored it. Nadezhda Mandelstam restored her husband’s (Osip Mandelstam’s) poems out of memory. I think it’d be swell if she did not recollect them in fact but simply wrote them herself. I do not believe it was questioned though for the distinctiveness of his style, also his poems were rhymed, which did make it possible to memorize them. it takes a much shrewder memory to store unrhymed poetry. we do memorize impressions, not words. not bits of information but something that moved us. lost manuscripts trope. libraries set on fire. I am a Herostratus at heart. I’d burn a lot. make letters perish. I wrote on the need of preserving archives, I cannot fathom why.    what a strange remark Tony Webster made when I visited him last time in his office! he said English words starting with a “z” were–what?–salty?                                                   salty?                             salty or yellow? I cannot now exactly remember. I only now am thinking about it.           I saw professor today, and he informed me that words starting with “z“ are marked, as well as the words starting with “x,” in English (mark is something that makes something un-normal), just as in Navajo words containing “m” are strange–“m” is not amongst sounds you normally encounter. I remember Nabokov (reclining in a chair, in a canvas suit, and glasses in heart-shaped frames, famous Lolita sunglasses (I believe)) claimed that letters have different colors, and of that same opinion his wife Véra was–perhaps it was something common in perception of some group of the time (but for whom? Russian kids growing up in the upper middle class and higher class families?); however of course they had different colors for different letters. well, I don’t know if letters have colors, with the exception of “A,” which (like Derrida frames it, is “the first letter, if the alphabet, and most of the speculations which have ventured into it, are to be believed.” (Derrida, Différance, Margins, 3)) is in the perception of many, red.                                                   Malevich: font, color, form.
