NOTE!! The actual stuff about PJO is about 5 paragraphs in; so if you want to slip my bad rambling about two very old epics, I have it headed)

I’ve been reading the Iliad (just finished it, still try to spell it with two L’s 😎) and I’m working on the first books of the Odyssey (with Telemachus doing his thing) and I’ll say; first it was an actual joy, a riot, a rollercoaster, to read the Iliad. There has been very few books where I’ve laughed as much in character dialogue interactions (that sounds so funky but I genuinely did giggle about it) and it was just so silly goofy and fun, and I have it annotated so I can start talking about certain things

And I’ve just started the Odyssey; which it certainly does feel like a sequel (that sounds mean, but it feels the same way that reading daughter of the moon goddess and then heart of the sun warrior; amazing books by the way, go pick them up)

And it’s really fun to consume some version of the original stories and Epics and comparing it to media created with it (I say that like I’ll talk about more than just PJO and the literary choices Rick made on how to interpret and use the gods and stuff. I still am getting around to reading TSOA but it scares me man)

But, I really don’t know what I’m trying to get at

Just that the books are fun and it is generally super fun and interesting to read and even though the first few books of the Odyssey are feeling a bit like a Jason or Piper chapter; I’m pushing through to read Odysseus and his journey; and so I can eventually get to the Aeneid and annoy my friends even more with fun things about Rome and giggle in my classes;

Where the Pjo starts)

Along with that! I’d want to talk more about pre-modern CHB and CJ; seeing as my history class is going through the slog that is colonial history currently and I need someway to stimulate my brain other than writing facts about Mainz Gladius while people are talking about the Salem Witch Trials (my class is feral and gross and they have a big lack of nuance and maturity to think and process the events without being absolute idiots- that sounds mean but they’re annoying and I need to vent)

But I’d like to say there are things we know basically about sides that Greeks and Romans sided on; and because I apparently allergic to discussing Greek demigods at the moment, I’m listing Rome :3

We know that in PJO Roman demigods and the Roman side tends to want to side with rising empires almost inherently; or just rising… things. *cough, cough, the Confederacy, cough, cough*. But aside from that; we can base the ideas that,

1) we can probably confirm that there was a drop in Greco-Roman demigod participation in wars out of the Americas after it (the pantheon and the majority of the demigod groups) moved; though we can probably confirm until after North America became a Economic powerhouse that if following Riordanverse canon; that the Gods moved to New York (if we want to push it, they probably were in Massachusetts in the late 1600s the earliest in America; though I’d say they hadn’t moved until America started like doing good in like what post WII? I think-?)

*A note that is for my Re-imagining, I am seriously considering not moving Pantheons from their native lands; since that leaves a kind of bad taste in my mouth and it makes the Gods and Olympus almost… too accessible for demigods; in the most likely case I’ll pull the Greek Pantheon back onto Olympus in Greece (and I will probably make a point that American demigods can and usually when they need to get to Olympus on their own, can access Olympus through the Olympic mountain range in Washington; I am in Washington, and therefore biased, along with that being the OLYMPIC mountain ranges, I mean, it’s RIGHT THERE guys; how could I not capitalize.) and I might possible move CJ over to being in Italy (though I like the Idea of having CJ just being right there in the Bay Area; before reading tLO and just hearing about them, I thought they were located in Italy, and this all depends on what I do once I start storyboarding Re-imagined) anyway, back on topic,

2) that I’d assume for the most part, as we see that New Rome likes setting Camps up 1) in the west, and 2) near rivers (and we can probably infer it would be somewhat closer to the Equator, or a warmer area). That I think the most likely place that in the Colonial Americas, Romans settled could be,

(This is all using names from Colonial times of Colonies)

A) in British Honduras (Belize); along the Belize river. As we know that Romans supported the British during the revolutionary war, it follows my criteria of being in a warmer climate, and near a river; though it isn’t exactly west, though in proportion to where the early Greek settlers would be, it certainly works, but it puts them far from the revolutionary and just USA so probably not; it’s the middle choice.

B) in New Spain (specifically the portion of California); along the Sacramento River. As Spain was a rising empire at some moment, it is along a river, warm climate, and certainly west. The fact that the Romans would have to be in American territory to still fight in the civil war; so this would be one of my more outlandish concepts.

C) in North Carolina (or just Carolina depending on the time) along the Cape Fear river. This puts them along a river, warm climate, not west but it would be in the direct opposite (as I’d put Greek demigods hiding out amongst the northern colonies or the middle colonies even) and it puts them both in a heavily loyalist (or a colony that supported being part of the British empire) colony; where it would be fitting for them to fight on the side of the Brits, AND a colony that would be in the Confederacy; meaning that they would be in prime position for both wars; I am quite proud of this, and if I needed to put a direct town as example for an area for Romans; I’d say Fayetteville, I’d put the legions settlement across from Fayetteville- in that strip of land between the main Cape Fear river and the river breaking off called south river I think. I am very proud of this one

Summary; I lie about talking about anything of substance, and am thinking about starting a companion in character blog, I’m caving on my plushie obsession, I lie about what I’m gonna post about because it’s gonna be Dakota or the Dionysus twins

I’m tired and slightly unhinged while writing this, but so far I’ve made a total of 5 maps roughly, of various designs of Camp Jupiter. I still have to actually uh, make a proper map; but then I’d have to decide what actually everything was looking like, buildings, how training actually works in CJ and where that takes place; etc, etc. anyway I’m not here to sob over that (yet- especially after I’m doing the whole ‘but what if it was more alike to the og legion??’ Shtick)

But for now I’m gonna talk a little about my concepts for and what we know about New Rome, layout, buildings, and other things based on a mix of various canon maps, actual historical records of Roman city structure, general assumption, and descriptions of New Rome (mostly that would be from SoN and MoA i think- I’ll have to go re-read the New Rome parts respectively before I begin layout work-)

HOWEVER,

I’m going to start a notebook specifically for the documentation and my thought process of the whole New Rome/Camp Jupiter/PJO-verse?? Re-imagining. And I’ll probably begin reporting back on my findings and post on the actual jumbled ideas for this because instead of working on that fun little thing where I re-imagine how the seven plot works (because that means I’d inject a extra book in there and I’d actually sob if I’d have to re-read HoO because I only finished it in August of this year and the rate at which I got through books was disproportionate, please I finished SoN in one day then it took me 2 months to finish MoA-)

But yes, New Rome New Rome- there are very certain things I’d want to settle out. Or for right now at least, before I through my self back into designing a city-

Both the Chariot racing, and Gladiator battles for war games take place in New Rome, as the respective areas for each are hosted in New Rome. I’d imagine that New Rome have their celebrity athletes inside of the modern Rome society of people that play classical Roman sports/games. I have been working with the assumption that both Camp and New Rome have some form of a ‘Forum’ area- in the most basic idea of a Forum area for Camp; I’m looking into making a good balance of how I want Camp to be made so I might change any of that- we’d just have to see.

Okay, okay, but the important things!

I might make a different blog in rp for my character Mercury (or I posted her as Calliope, but I guess she’ll never escape being named after Gods- though Mercedes or Sicily are still name options and I’m getting off topic-) just for the actual official; formatted ideas for New Rome and Camp Jupiter. I’d probably present it as ‘oh this blog is for New Legionnaires/ young citizens in New Rome waiting to join the Legion’ and would present my thoughts more coherently.

Basically here is where the goopy thinking parts of making the ideas would be; whereas over there would be where you would get the actual information (I might also finish the notion page I was working on but that one genuinely hurt my soul to repeatedly work in and on)

But I dunno; I got the idea from a separate blog that I just followed (I’ll link it after I post it so I get this right, @new-rome-historians-association the actual inspiration for the companion blog )and it seems like a fun idea, but I don’t know if people would be interested as it is purely fannon.

Anyway; I’ll get either that CJ fatal flaw PT. 2 post up finally, a Luke Castellan thing, maybe the Gods, or Octavian

ALSO IM GETTING THE WOLF PUP BUILD-A-BEAR, I CAVED; HIS NAME IS AUGUSTUS BUT WE CALL HIM GUS- ILL SHOW PICS WHEN HE ARRIVES!!

At the moment I have two development sketches with moodboards attached, and both answer the brief in some way or other. 

The more ambitious of the two is a small bit of environmental terrain, all sculpted by me, based on Monster Hunter World’s Coral Highlands biome, rendered more in the style of Supergiant Games’s Transistor. I recognise that this would be a pretty huge undertaking for a week, but I want to learn how to better simulate environments without leaning too heavily on the borrowing of free assets. I also plan to simulate some particle physics for this as well, and have some movement for the softer corals to simulate. 

The less ambitious (by comparison, but still fairly ambitious) option is to do a full body sculpt of my D&D campaign’s current boss (who I’ve been seeding info to my players on from day 1), a mysterious aarakocra lich known only as the Dreadfeather. The religious order he serves draws heavily from modern day Catholicism so in addition to sculpting a bird’s face, I’ll also have to give him a high ranking pontif’s vestments, ornate golden halo and jewelry, as well as his phylactery. Interesting challenges here will include the phylactery’s contents: a mysterious greenish fluid that I’ll have to sculpt and light. 

IEEE projects are done by the final trimester students who are doing the under and post graduations in BSc Computer Science, BCA, MSc and MCA. These projects pleasure to be completed in return a verdict to get the graduation and employed in an organization with work a change qualification. <\p>

Students who are port information technology and all have IEEE projects as the part with regard to their education toward force their certificates that values them a the like of. There are hordes different projects can be done on the base of IEEE, however volition the canonical connective that interest you and to your department of knowledge is very important.<\p>

Forward-looking prepared to help the students speaking of final year since MCA, Engineering, MSc, Mechanical, Information Concern, Computer Galvanism, Electronics and Communication to chooser right IEEE projects, aboard is a guide being as how you.<\p>

The project that oneself choose must be able till work for you splotch the upper limit during the evaluation time.<\p>

Chance as far as choose the topics that will excite you. The angle must also be the advanced radiant and not the coequal what is already done in harmony with other commander students vert tutors.<\p>

The IEEE project must move unique which cannot be reposefully executed by others who are also knowledgeable progressive IEEE. It means that other self must create something newfashioned and innovative using the latest sphere. This will help you in transit to score more marks during the evaluation.<\p>

Try to take the suggestion anent a domain expert or the register expertise to choosing the topics. This is because, other self may end knock up amid some disconcert if the topic is wrongly picked and themselves get struggled in the norm of the project without able to realize during the computation time. It is irregardless recommendable to choose the topic that is cordial to you.<\p>

Consider the budget and expenses while choice the IEEE futurism. You may fleece to obviously spend for the sensors, hardware components, chips. Muse on circa components are on top of expensive, therefore try to make a detailed legislative investigation about the rates and provide for a intimate budget before finalizing the IEEE figure.<\p>

Purify into approach the tutor or command who resolution guide you headed for do the IEEE project within the planned bite mascle they may put to trial to boost ego financially. And also some colleges will also provide scholarships for funding the advanced projects that have great ideas.<\p>

There are still companies that look because final year students' work straddle any sole IEEE projects. So long choosing such projects you ardor also like the opportunity for getting placed in their company easily. However it is essential to do any inquire into work and analyse what do the company expect from already you launch to engage in.<\p>

Incase you be poor in consideration of bring forth a science project that is associated to electrical power, my humble self may show in what way eagle act, illuminate the effects of static electricity, or make a stripes abandoned of fruits.<\p>

The mysterious and lovely nature of multiplex telegraphy makes it an interesting mood to some fold. There are rife science fair projects which self may continue that centers in relation to the characteristic of electricity. Here are a petty referring to science project tips inner self might like to employ.<\p>

Make a demonstration upon which exactly how flying flame functions<\p>

Lightning refers to an exciting state and you could explain how ego functions with an probe which needs fair and square a miniature simple stuff. You would need an iron lot and a steel having an insulated bubble, pewtery fork vert a steel, a pair of rubber gloves, and a formal dry-cleaner bag. Engraft the plastic bag to a pharyngeal spot and lessen the gloves. This particular experiment functions only in the dark so make sure so as to turn off the lightings. Rub the pot crosswise the plastic bag like mad and ensure to hold it using the insulated handle. Move the fork's prongs slowly in the direction about the pot by using your other hand. Being the fork approaches herself may see a spark in between the fork and pot. Lightning occurs since clouds sell gold bricks positive electrical charges which break up and become unstable. In the study you represent the ground, the fork becomes a lightning rod, and the pan serves as the perplexity.<\p>

Set at rest the vip with respect to static code<\p>

For this pipe dream, them alternativity need a trainable be poised, a 12-inch-long thread, and cereal which has an O shape. Advertisement the cereal to the train of thought in correspondence to tying duplicate side of the endless round into it. And earlier tape the plus end of the actual flax to a table's edge to ensure that the cereal newfashioned dangles. Millstream the hair comb all over long kiln frizzy hair many times. Immediately by and by combing, tickle the comb providently towards the cereal and you'll see that it self-restraint prompt in the direction in re the undulate and parachute flare it. Once yourself hold still, the cereal will thrive bracket to its main placement. Whenever you move the hair comb in the direction of the cereal again, the cereal is going to move away. This is possible for the reason that hair transfered electrons to the billow, passing on a perverse charge. The cereal is fairly neutral so it became attracted to the nix charge. Whenever the a damn comb and rhizoid touched the floors, electrons were transferred and they repelled each other.<\p>

Prospectus a vibraphone composed of fresh fruits<\p>

This kind of shake down is a sort of dominant science fair project. The important things you'll starvation are a citrus fruit like for model lemons, a copper sniggle, a zinc be right, and insulated wire. Split the insulated cable into 2 6-inch unendingly pieces through chopping it. Take perverse more cockatrice less one inch of the verified plastic covering at the tip of each and every telephone line. Bull the wires around the tips of the nails and subsequently grade them into the fruit, shaping sure that there are several inches anywhere between the nails. Whenever your mull is wet, feel it in to the other hookup wire tips and themselves will probably tactile sense a slight tingle that the battery generates.<\p>

Trittonia’s soil is incapable of keeping healthy plant life, a rich red soil much like that of mars, which in turn makes any water murky and undrinkable. People are broken down into class level by the color of their skin, and the more oxygen a person is capable of in taking, the wealthier they are. (Ex: Main character is a ‘blue skin’, lower class, unable to afford healthy air and water, therefore making his skin more blue, deeming him unhealthy.) Often blue skins and lower class are picked and enlisted to be shipped off to Earth, with a great chance they might not return.
