Tumblr media
PAIRINGS: Tom 2008 x Female reader CONTENT: ANGST + SMUT SYPNOSIS: Tom and you have been togther for 2 years and he's been getting more possesive by the minute. One day he finds you talking with one of your old friends while you were shopping for some clothes and he gets enraged, taking you back home and claiming you as his. A/N: had to do RESEARCHHH for this but tysm for the req lovely <3 WARNINGS: degrading, tom!dom, reader!sub, fingering, p in v (missionary, doggy style), smacking ass, rough kissing
I was walking around Victoria Secret, finding some cute bras to wear for Tom when I spotted a familiar face, my old friend Kienan.
I quickly went over and tapped his shoulder, he turned around and his face lit up, "heyy! oh my god I haven't seen you in ages! how are you?" he smiled brightly and pulled me in for a hug.
I hugged him tightly and chuckled "i'm great! it's been like 5 years since i've seen you, how's life doing you?" i said, pulling away.
"Oh you know, a bit stressful and all but I have my girlfriend and my 3 dogs to keep me company" he chuckled, I smiled "yeah, same with my boyfriend, I have loads of work but at the end of the day I get to see him so I'm happy."
After 5 minutes of chatting I heard footsteps behind me and a strong arm wrap around my waist, pulling me in closely. I knew it was Tom, and I knew I was in trouble. Fuck.
"Y/N who's this?" he looked at me, faking a smile. "Oh this is Keinan, just an old friend from high school" I smiled, trying to seem as normal as possible to piss Tom off.
"Mm, say goodbye to your friend cause we're leaving." he said coldly, pulling me away slightly, I sighed and waved to my friend, a concerned look plastered on Keinan's face.
"Tom! Why did you have to embarrass me like that! He's just an old friend why are you being so fucking possessive?" I whisper yelled at him as he dragged me out of the store and into the car. As we got into the car I was still yelling, his fists were clenched, his knuckles turning white. "I can't believe you did that Tom, for fuck sakes, I didn't even get to buy anything because of you!" I grunted and sat back in my seat.
"If you behaved you would've gotten something, you know what I'm like when you're around other men" he said, rage washed over his eyes. He started the car and sped off, I held onto my seat a bit with the speed he was going at, I could tell he was pissed, and tomorrow I wouldn't be able to walk.
As we got home, panic and lust surged through my whole body, feeling a burning in between my thighs. He dragged me into our bedroom and threw me onto the bed. "Take your fucking clothes off and get on the bed" he ordered, I instantly obliged and took my clothes off in a flash.
He stared at my naked body, groaning lowly and walking over to me, he sat next to me on the bed. "Spread your legs." his eyes were dark and full of lust. "O-okay..." I said, my voice wobbly with excitement, I spread my legs and Toms hands flew to my pussy, his fingers rubbing in between my folds and skimming over my clit, I moaned softly and bucked my hips up to gain more pleasure from his fingers. As soon as I did that he retracted his fingers "don't fucking misbehave, just sit and be a good girl."
He then put one finger in, and then another. Slowly pushing them in and out, at such a slow and painful pace. "Tom..please.." I whimpered, begging for him to go faster and put me out of my misery. "Fine, you want it faster? I'll give it to you fast" he growled, pushing his fingers in and out of my pussy really fast. I moaned as he curled his fingers, hitting my sweet spot multiple times.
"You like that, hm?" he stared directly at me, I tried to keep my eyes open but the pleasure overtook my body, I let out a string of moans before cumming onto his fingers. As I came I heard him chuckle darkly, "cumming so quick huh? such a needy slut.." he pushed me further onto the bed and climbed on top of me, taking his jeans off to expose his rock solid cock, standing perfectly, leaking precum and throbbing, desperate for some pleasure.
He spread my legs open roughly and pulled me by my legs, bringing me closer to him, his tip resting against my entrance.
He leaned in and whispered in my ear "I'm gonna cum in you so many times you won't be able to think, you will take my cum like the good slut you are" my eyes widened "but tom.." I looked up at him, wondering where this sudden idea has come from. Me and Tom would usually use condoms or he would pull out, but this was super new.
"No buts, keep still or your punishment will get worse" he glared at me and pushed his cock into me slowly, I winced at the pain and my hands flew to his arms, trying to hold onto him.
"Fuck you're so tight.." he groaned, pushing himself in before finally bottoming himself out. He slowly pulled out and then slammed himself in again, started off at quite a rough pace. I rolled my eyes back as he drilled into my sweet spot constantly, this angle making it able for me to feel every. single. inch. and possibly even more.
One of his hands went to my clit, rubbing it softly, causing me to be less tense, Tom let out a sigh. My pussy had clenched around him so tightly because of how big his cock was.
He continued to whisper dirty and degrading things into my ears, making the pleasure of his cock ramming into my pussy more intensified.
"Fuck! Tom!" I cried out in pleasure, "mm, you like that don't you? fucking slut" he snapped at me, causing me to throw my head back and wrap my legs around his waist tightly, pulling him closer.
It's like he was drunk on my pussy whenever we fucked, he could never get enough of it, one round was never enough for him, always leaving me exhausted after.
I felt my stomach twist into a knot, signalling my orgasm was near, I knew Tom could tell as well as he started to go even harder, pounding into me mercilessly, gripping onto my hips and digging his nails into me. I grabbed onto his dreads and arched my back, tugging harshly as I came, my orgasm crashed down, my legs twitching. Tom moaned loudly as he came, filling me up with his cum to the brim. He slowly fucked his cum into me "you loved being filled up like this, don't you?" he smirked, I nodded frantically and whined "more please..more.." he nodded and flipped me over so I was on all fours on the bed.
His cum was slightly dripping out of my pussy, then he slammed back into me, not giving me enough time to rest. I was getting a little bit overstimulated but it just felt so good. Tom always knew how to please me, his rough touch was addicting.
He continued his brutal pace, our skin slapping together and the sounds filling the room. I swear we were so loud, the whole neighbourhood could probably hear us, but I didn't care, all I needed in that moment was his cum in me.
I grabbed onto the sheets tightly, my knuckles turning white. It felt so good, so so good. I was drunk on his dick, it was so good, the way he pounded into me made me so wet.
"Holy shit, gonna cum!" I moaned loudly, gripping even tighter on the sheets as my orgasm washed over me, "me too liebe! fuck!" he again dumped his load into me, filling me up and making sure to fuck his cum deep into me.
I fell forward and he collapsed on top of me, we were both trying to regain our breath, he flipped me over, kissing me softly.
"Did you enjoy being filled up liebe? Told you it would be good" he winked, I giggled "yeah yeah, whatever" I rolled my eyes playfully. He then cleaned me up and we cuddled, settling for the night.
E/N: this is my first time doing something solely based off breeding, SORRY IF IT WAS BAD ILY ALL <333

Hello! I just read your Makima/Nayuta reader and Really like it and I wanna give you my own ideas for Makima/Nayuta reader
For personality reader will of course,be really cunning,smart,and good at manipulate people as this is the biggest trait in Makima which mean reader know something is clearly off with how the agency is treating him but all of those trait are cover with his childish and outgoing personality. Even tho reader is young and mischievous he is charming own his own making other people let down their guard
And now his ability(i'll just take two Makima ability),since reader controlling ability only work when he think he's better than someone on the same person I like to think he'll be quite egoistic and view some people as his dogs Just like Makima.Then we got makima shooting ability,for this reader just need to hold his hand and position his hand to a finger gun and go "bang" then it will shoot through the person who he aimed
Bonus,For the part 2 I like to think that the agency is absolutely in shambles and try to look for reader everywhere meanwhile reader is with the port mafia.Mori probably try to take reader in as he realize how useful his ability is but reader will immeadiately know something is odd about the man and play along with Mori and maybe mess a bit Mori with his ability
Honestly that all,sorry if there is a spelling mistakes as english is not my mother tongue

Part 3 here
Tumblr media
The first thing of what Chuuya thought was he absolutely find you tolerable and cute (platonically) as you have your own puppy! How can he not be happy to find someone who have the same interest and practically he can handle kids just well.
But.. He was confused on why Mori requested him to take the kid with him to find out about his ability but first company them to shopping trip.
He wonder why but obliged to do so, now he was stuck with you while Moro is busy buying clothes for the children more likely first Elise.
He even told Chuuya to warn if he spot an agency member or sort which confused him yet agreed to do so.
So.. it begins of him babysitting you for the day, While Mori is busy in the mall with Elise as you were with Chuuya who hold your hands every step you take.
"Ne! Ne! Chu-chu-niisan! Can I have the latest edition icecream of Pikachu special?!" You asked with doe eyes as he sweatdropped.
He was about to deny as he doesn't want to leave the boss but your teary eyes make him stop and agreed to quickly buy it for you.
You hugged his leg in joy as he chuckle and take you with him.
The problem was the icecream was selling on the rooftop.
It was just a happy moment until someone try to attack/hostage you as you were just 10-12 year old boy.
The man kept a gun on your head as you snivel in teary eyes.
Chuuya was hesitant as wrong move you can be in danger as he believe you don't truly have an ability or maybe you have but it is useful for agency not Port mafia and perhaps Mori analyse about it is wrong.
"Chuchu-niisan!" You wailed as the man warn Chuuya not to move.
"Don't worry y/n! I will save you" said Chuuya as he try to come up with a plan as the rooftop was empty now.
"Chuchu-ni-" "shut up" as the man beat your head with the gun (bottom) harshly making it bleed.
"You! I will kill you!" Exclaimed Chuuya angrily as the person smirk when you were quiet your head was low as blood drip from your forehead to the ground.
'Is he unconscious'
"Y/n.." Muttered Chuuya who almost try to attack the man until, you started to giggle as the man and Chuuya was confused.
Your eyes stare up and smile at the man while, making a gun finger sign.
"Ne uncle let's play a game.. Who can shoot first me or you"
"Hah? /y/n!" Called Out Chuuya who try to rush to you but before he could.
"Bang!"
The blood splattered his vision as the man body fall to the ground with half of his body splattered into the ground and you, while you hold out your finger gun quickly waving to the dead body.
"Uncle! you were too late!"
"...." Chuuya stood there motionless as he stare at the kid who have no remorse of killing a person.
He gulped as you smile at Chuuya.
"Chuchu-niisan! My clothes are dirty! Can we buy new clothes for me please?"
"..." He slowly nod as he felt you tug his hand dragging him.
'I should call someone to erase evidence' thought Chuuya as he firmly hold your hand while you skipped happily with your clothes and face slightly splattered in blood.
......
Chuuya realise one thing that your ability was dangerous and he hope Yumeno and you doesn't meet.
As Chuuya explain to Mori what he have witnessed earlier today as you and Elise fall asleep on the backseat with Mori seating on other side of the driver seat.
"What shall we do boss?"
"What shall we do? I didn't thought the Agency was keeping a boy this dangerous! His ability is terrifying especially when he just killed without a remorse! We should sent him to jail or sort.."
As Chuuya sneak glance at Mori who smirk after the rant.
"Is what good people said, and Port mafia is something that accept those who have tianted hands don't we..?"
"Yes boss" Chuuya said as his hands on the steering tightens while listening to Mori about dressing you up with Elise with the new clothes he brought.
Chuuya admit he wish he didn't hear those words uttered by Mori.
.
..
In the Agency the franticness quiet down.
Kunikida had dark circles as he finally print out a paper as Yosano is sharpening her butcher knife to threaten the person who stole their adorable child.
Atsushi, Jun'chiro and Kyouka eventually come back while shook heads as they couldn't find anything about you.
Kenji was frowning too.
Ranpo didn't have a bite of his sweets as he is busy looking at the papers reading any headline of a murder or sort.
They know your ability can kill.
But they can't blame you as you are just a child and your ability kill when someone harm you in a worse manner like beaten you, stab you or even shoot you or sort. It was eventually reassuring that your ability is strong and protect you from harm but it is concerning if someone use you for wrong deeds!.
As the evidence were laid on the table as they all stare at Ranpo who didn't have a bite of his sweets until he find you.
"Ranpo-san" they all muttered as Ranpo wear his glasses quietly without an ounce of pride or sort simply serious.
His eyes darken as he hold the paper tightly.
"So.. where is he?" Asked Fukuzawa as Ranpo glance up with an darken face.
As the others await his answer and for the first time they look like they can kill anyone who harm you or try to take you away from them after all, You are like their child, their younger brother or sort!
Even Kyouka is ready to kill even if she is in agency she won't hesistate.
Dazai was in deep thought with a dark face in the corner.
For some reason his gut feeling tell something tragic was going to happen.. He hope you will be safe at least.
As Ranpo kept down the paper with a dark expression. As everything went frozen for a moment when Ranpo spoke.
"In port mafia and the boss knows his ability"
.

A:n- that's all good day/night to you all! Hope you all rest well!

The "Humans are Space Orcs" trope has always scratched a real good itch in my brain. I have something I want to write for it, but I'm really shit at coming up with a plot, so I keep just doing little drabbles like this:
"You know, I don’t like that they call you that.”
Thirtytwo’s ears perked up and swiveled towards Alex, who had been sitting in the corner of the room and watching nem type away at their console. The Terran had seemed content to spend this work cycle just monitoring Thirtytwo in neir duties, and if ne hadn’t been used to this by now, it probably would have been more than a little anxiety-inducing to be stared at by a predator species for so long. With those eerie, front-facing eyes, it was always pretty clear where he was staring. 
Alex had been silent until now, just moments after Thirtytwo ended a call with one of the overseers.
“That they call me what?” 
The Terran scowled, and Thirtytwo had repress the urge to shrink down against neir seat at the show of disapproval. “Drudge.”
Thirtytwo’s spines raised slightly in confusion, and ne turned in neir chair to fully face Alex. “That is… what I am, though.”
Alex huffed through his nose. “Yeah, but that’s not– you’re an individual, not just some faceless member of…” He seemed uncomfortable with stating the rest aloud. “You know.”
“The serving caste.” It didn’t bother Thirtytwo at all to be referred to by such; it was just a descriptive of what ne had been born to do. It wasn’t quite clear to nem why this subject seemed to agitate Alex so much any time it came up.
“Yeah, that.” The words sounded flat and unhappy through Thirtytwo’s translator. “They won’t even let you have a real name.”
Now ne was really confused. “My designation is Vega-Bluelight-Drudge-32nd-Born-of-24th-Generation.”
“That’s not a name, that’s just saying what you are!"
Alex’s agitation was beginning to affect neir mood as well, triggering an extremely strong flight urge, and ne couldn’t help snapping back at him.  “You aren’t making any sense! They’re the same thing!”
“Okay, okay, sorry. Look." He scrubbed a hand through the short, yellowish fur on the top of his head. "My name is Alex, right?”
Thirtytwo's ears flicked. "Alexander Marcus Sullivan Sol.” That had been on the crew briefing that was sent out before Alex had come on board for the first time. Pronouncing it was a little bit difficult, because neir translator didn't pick up those sounds as translatable words. It always seemed odd to Thirtytwo that the Terran's name was just… gibberish.
“Right. Now, do all those words say what I am?”
Thirtytwo’s spines were beginning to soften out of their defense posture. “Sol means… you’re from the Sol system…”
“And the rest?”
“I don’t know.” They seemed to be nonsense words, but ne didn’t want to offend Alex by saying so. “They don’t translate.”
“Where I come from, names aren’t just… a label, so you can be sorted or ordered around. Names are a way to differentiate you from everyone else. They’re a word or combination of words that very specifically mean you.”
"So they're… descriptive words." 
"Sort of. They can be. Most Terrans are named by their parents, or whomever raised them. Sometimes it's a traditional family name, or maybe the name of someone else they want to honor. Or sometimes, they pick it hoping that the kid will grow up to have the qualities of their name."
"So… what does your name mean?"
Alex paused for a moment, then shook his head. "Actually, hold on a minute." He picked up the datapad he'd brought in with him earlier and started tapping away. Probably accessing one of those databases only the higher castes had access to. "Alex is short for Alexander, meaning 'defender of men'," he read aloud.
"So… a warrior? That sounds like a caste assignment."
Alex shrugged. "That's just a coincidence. My dad was an agricultural laborer, Mom ran the transport for the company Dad worked for, and Tati stayed home and watched the kids. I was the only one that took military service, the others chose to work with Dad."
"And Marcus?"
"Eh…" Alex scrolled on his pad, was quiet a moment, then shifted a little in his seat. "It relates to an ancient god of war."
Thirtytwo gave him an unimpressed look. "You're not proving your point, here."

Miss Independent
(inspired by Ne-yo's song)
(GirlBoss!Reader x Personal Assistant! Hongjoong) (Colleagues to lovers) (fluffy romance) (reader is afraid of storms) (short office romance) (possibly there will be a part 2 with smut)
Tumblr media
In the bustling halls of a cutting-edge technology company in a very busy commercial building, you, a remarkable business woman and Vice President of this company, got known for your determination and relentless focus on achieving a successful career, betting all of your efforts on growing this company scratch with your best friend. You learned over time that you needed to be tough to progress, since this area was widely controlled by men and there's always someone trying to discredit women. So you made it a personal mission to get your company to be a safe place and be the best professional you could be.
You're an admirable leader, but your personal life took a backseat. You always worked endless hours and overtime, focusing solely on doing business. The company kept rising well, then came a problem: your assistant decided to resign to go work for your competitor. Now you have to go over interviews to find a new assistant, so you did. You participate actively in the process, since whoever gets hired would work directly with you, so you felt the need to be sure they would be capable enough.
You didn't make it easy for anybody, you made specific questions and a few of the candidates didn't know how to answer or started stuttering, others weren't as qualified and you were getting tired. It lasted four days until you met Hongjoong one morning doing an interview for this job. A young and talented software developer, that didn't show any fear and aswered your questions perfectly well, looking in your eyes without any fear. After 40 minutes you told him to stay and gave him a few tasks to see how he would go. Hongjoong showed himself to be smart, quick witted, committed to work and serious about it. At the end of the day you called him to your office to give the final answer. He entered bringing a cappuccino and placed it in front of you in your desk.
"This is for you, Miss." He said and you tilted your head, letting out a very light smile at the action.
"Thanks, Hongjoong. You can sit down." You offered the seat in front of you and he did as told while you took a sip of the coffee.
"Well, I have to say you impressed me in a good way. None of the other candidates caught my attention like you did today." You started and Hongjoong visibly relaxed at your feedback.
"I did my best, I'm glad to hear that from you, Miss."
"I'm sure you'll be even more glad to hear that you will be hired. You can bring your documents to the HR department tomorrow at 8 in the morning and sign our contract." You got up from your seat and Hongjoong did the same, bowing to you and you raised a hand to greet him, which he took and shook your hand.
"Thank you Miss ______, I will not disappoint you." Hongjoong smiled widely and you let his hand go, switching off your computer and getting your bag to leave, dismissing Hongjoong to go home.
|•••••Time skip•••••|
The first six months of working together were a challenge. You resisted any form of distraction, maintaining a strictly professional relationship with Hongjoong. Everyday he came to your office to report and receive new tasks, he brought your lunch and coffee and as days passed and you worked side by side, he started making a few little efforts to make the barriers give way. One afternoon, you were reviewing an important document in your office when Hongjoong walked in. He noticed the tired look on your face and suggested you take a break. You resisted with a frown at first, but Hongjoong someway succeeded at convincing you to go the snack bar on the first floor of the building.
The snack bar was peaceful at this hour and made a good break from the stressful office atmosphere. You felt at ease with Hongjoong's presence and he offered to buy donuts. You both sat down, ate and talked about trivial things and sharing laughs here and there. You found yourself truly relaxing for the first time in years.
After that day, you and Hongjoong began sharing more and more moments outside of work. Having lunch together became a routine and when you worked overtime he occasionally invited you to dinner together. He opened doors for you, drives you off, treated you like a princess. You both didn't talk clearly about it, but you were beginning to feel something that had long since receded from your mind: the spark of romance. However, you struggled with those feelings. It seemed so wrong, he is your assistant and you're the boss. You felt afraid of mixing love and business, worried about the consequences a relationship could have for the company you had worked so hard to build. But every time you're together, the chemistry between you becomes impossible to ignore. It started making you mad.
One day, you left your office because you needed a document that was with Hongjoong, but as soon as you saw him you noticed something and frowned. Yujin, a beautiful co-worker, was approaching him a little more intimately than usual. They seemed to be having a lively conversation and Yujin didn't hide her interest, touching his arm unnecessarily. You, feeling a pang of jealousy, tried not to act affected, but you couldn't avoid the stress of seeing the scene. Your mind created several unpleasant scenarios. "Is he interested in her? Is he flirting back?"
"Kim Hongjoong." You spoke in a firm and serious tone, catching the attention of the two who were talking.
"Yes, miss? Do you need anything?" Hongjoong stood up and responded, no longer paying attention to Yujin.
"Come to my office and bring the project presentation I asked you this morning. Quickly." You said sharply and looked at Yujin from the corner of your eye, who soon got up and left the place.
"Yes, ma'am." He spoke and you turned around and walked back to your office as Hongjoong saved the presentation file you asked for. You slammed the door angrily and headed towards your table, a minute later Hongjoong entered and came over to you.
"Here's the presentation, Miss ______." He gave you the pendrive and you sighed, connecting it on your computer to open the file. You inspected it and pointed things out for Hongjoong to add since you thought it wasn't enough yet.
"You're staying overtime today, we need this presentation ready for the meeting we'll have with our client tomorrow morning." You told looking back at him and he nodded.
"All right, I'll bring my laptop here." He left the room and came back a minute later with his laptop, sitting down and placing the laptop in front of him and started guiding him specifically on what to add to the presentation. An hour passed and all the employees began leaving since work time was officially over.
It's mid summer and it was very hot during the day, but as the night came many clouds could be seen in the floor-to-ceiling window behind you. Hongjoong finished the details on the presentation and saved it as a sudden storm started. You looked at the window and the lights went out, the fear started creeping out on you but Hongjoong didn't notice yet as he got his phone to activate the flashlight amidst the darkness and the sound of rain outside. Hongjoong placed his phone in a way it illuminated both of you and he finally could see your face again, now noticing your pained expression and your heavy breathing.
"Are you okay, Miss ______?" He questioned with a frown and you shook your head no as a thunder sound out loud and you covered your ears. Hongjoong got worried about you, wanting to keep you safe, so he got up and closed the curtains of your window, coming behind you to cover your shoulders with his blazer.
You've always had a paralyzing fear of thunder, and that night, the storm was fierce, growing stronger and stronger. As he touched your shoulders he felt your whole body shaking with fear and then he crouched to your level and brought up inside his arms in a warm hug, whispering words of comfort. "Don't worry, I'm here with you. You're safe. The storm will pass soon." You looked into his eyes hugging his waist carefully, grateful for his presence.
"I hate storms, they make me so nervous, Hongjoong." Your eyes had tears on the edge of falling down, while you and Hongjoong shared an intense look, full of repressed emotions. This was the first time you were truly showing vulnerability to him and he was astonished, all he ever wanted was to take care of you. He pulled your head to his chest and you could listen to his heart beating fast just like yours.
"I don't know if this is really the right time to say this, but.. but I can't deny how I feel anymore. I'm in love with you, ______." His words echoed in the empty office as he broke the silence and confessed his feelings. You were shocked. You didn't expect that he felt the same way you did all this time. Your heart jumped now, not anymore because of fear but from happiness.
"I'm in love with you too, Hongjoong. I tried not to, but it's stronger than me." You squeezed Hongjoong as tight as you could and he kissed the side of your head softly. You looked up and offered your lips to him, which he understood and closed the little distance, sealing the beginning of a long-awaited romance. The storm outside seemed to symbolize the change in your lives and the relationship from boss and assistant to lovers.
"I want to be with you and take care of you through all the storms, will you let me?"
"Of course, Hongjoong." You smile widely and he cupped your face, caressing your cheeks as he smiled as well. "Will you take me home?"
"As long as you wish, my darling."
|•••••••|
Over the next months, your relationship with Hongjoong blossomed into a great love. You chose to main discretion at work, avoiding any favoritism or conflict of interest and not letting the coworkers know you are together. They only knew Hongjoong is in a relationship but he never told them with who. You realized that by making room for love in your life, you weren't weakening your career, but actually strengthening it. Hongjoong supported you in every aspect, becoming a partner in all areas of your life and you become his.
Together, you faced new challenges and business opportunities while the company prospered even more. You found balance between personal and professional life, discovering that you can be a successful leader and at the same time share a loving relationship, that success in business didn't have to mean sacrificing love and personal happiness.

One shot with Han!
If you couldn't already tell, the gang was one of the tightest knit groups in the entire company. The entire building, the staff, the other band members, hell, the entire industry knew they simply ride or die for each other. Their pre debut eras weren't the greatest but Chan being the leader he was born to be, had very soon made them realize, if they did not have each other's backs, they would simply not debut. Ever. And that, the kids took to heart. Hyunjin and Han put away their differences, Felix learnt Korean, Hera learnt self control and gradually, they bond was for ever to last.
They were now known as the group who would never sit still for a single breathing second, the ones who would work really hard, play with each other all the time and really learn how to enjoy their work.
This incident was a couple of months just before their debut. they were constantly working hard, some being able to meet their families while the other couldn't. Han had his parents in the same city as their dorms and would visit home often even while training.
It was a Friday evening and after begging the company, they had gotten the weekend to themselves. All of two days. Because of loosing a bet with Hera, Han was to pay the punishment, he was due. But he did not know what she was planning. Neither did the entire gang. Han woke up, did his regular morning routine, showered and got out of his room to see the entire gang in the living room, feasting like ogres. "Morning Hannie" Chan turned in his seat at the breakfast bar counter, and his eyes widened. "Oh shit-" Changbin followed where Chan's gaze was stuck. "Morning to you too" Han greeted a the not so welcoming tone. The next couple of minutes, Hera was on the floor, laughing her guts out, joined by Lee know a couple of minutes later. "Hera! It's not funny!?" Chan got out of his seat, near Han and started touching his hair. "What is happening? What is not funny?" Han asked, confused as ever. I.N. and Hyunjin just with their mouths hanging low, Felix in the middle of taking another bite while Seungmin just continued as nothing had happened. "What did you do?" Han began panicking as he asked Hera but she did not respond with her laughing fit. He stomped his way to his room for the mirror, just to find out, each strand on his head at that moment was as blue as a peacock's hind.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME HERA??" Han pissed out of the the bathroom, headed straight to Hera. "It actually turned out better than i thought it would." Hera said, as she tried, tried, to recover from her fit.
"Oh my god!!" Han freaking out, kept going in and out of the bathroom, checking his hair in the mirror. "How and when did you even do this?" Changbin asked, confused as it was all normal the evening before. "I HAVE TO GO MEET MY PARENTS TOMORROW! WHAT WILL I TELL THEM??" Han blasted, still very much freaking out, still marching in and out of the bathroom.
Hyunjin, Felix and Lee know know finding it hilarious, joined Hera on the floor, laughing out at the hilarious outburst. Changbin and Chan trying their best to control with just tiny hints of smirks on their face, while Jeongin still very much flabbergasted, imagining what would have happened if it were him who was supposed to meet his parents with a head of electric blue hair.
"This was because he lost the bet to you yesterday?" Changbin asked, whispering as Han kept panic walking in and out. Hera just nodded vigorously, not being able to get words out.
"Don't worry man. We'll fix it today. It's not that bad." Chan went in the bathroom after he composed himself, trying to console Han and Changbin broke out in a loud laughter, joining the rest.
It was a hilarious punishment that Han only found funny after his fury calmed down, twenty minutes later. The rest of them bought box dyes, dyed his hair back to normal before any of the management could find out and made a whole day out of it, as usual. No one was ever informed about this, and they decided to never talk about it in front of the cameras, but there does exists a picture of panicked Han, going in and out of the bathroom and the rest of the gang lay, dying on the living room floor. Han and Hera were simply two extreme polls that sought comfort IN being insane with each other. Hera also learnt to go a little gentle on Han, next time onwards.
Hera's Masterlist!

you can't choose who to fall for (thoma brainrot)
synopsis !! brainrot for noble!reader and thoma going through the peak of a love story before it all comes crashing down
inspired by !! I bet you think about me - Taylor Swift, and some other things
note !! not my proudest work BUT I NEED THIS TO LEAVE MY DRAFTS AND IM SLEEPY // NOT PROOFREAD
cw !! gn!reader, terminologies may seem a little biased to the working class, please know it's just for writing
You never had to worry about mora in your life. As one of Inazuma's most dominant commerce clans, money came and went from your hands like water.
Needless to say, meeting and falling in love with the housekeeper of your good business associates – the Kamisato clan – was a whirlwind of events.
You've seen him before.
Whenever you'd drop by with presents to show lady Ayaka, he would be tidying the rooms or gardens, occasionally next to the commissioner. A foreigner in Inazuma wasn't exactly common, he caught your interest solely because of that.
He'd serve you tea as you chat with Ayaka. A small smile on his face, standing in the background like a wallflower but you can't help the way your eyes would divert to him.
You'd see him more often on your frequent outings to the commercial districts. He would be haggling prices, forming connections and budget his daily errands. You've grown familiar to his tasks.
You'd invite him to accompany you since you're going the same way and Thoma would try his best to escort you (not that you don't have a handful of your own bodyguards eyeing him warily).
Thoma whose eyes go a little wider whenever you make a "reckless" purchase, letting your entourage hold all your bags. You'd giggle at him before offering him a "small" thank you gift for the company (it's one of the most expensive things he owns now).
And the rest is history—
Thoma who wasn't sure where to take you out for a friendly date. You insist that he take you to his favorite restaurant, so he brings you to a local hole-in-the-wall canteen that sells the best takoyaki (a place you've never thought to explore outside of the glamorous shopping district, and a food you've never seen so... humbly made).
But you're in love. Your heart beats a little louder, a lot faster, and he's blushing a little talking about how this probably isn't all that impressive for you and he could always take you to somewhere nicer but you're insisting to stay because — archons damnit — he's so cute using a toothpick to feed you.
You who aren't restrained or bothered by traditional ideals of the nobility. Your household was wealthy enough to do what they wanted, even in the face of criticism, so your free-spirited and spoiled attitude was a delight to entertain!
You who run up to Thoma every time you see him, unbothered by the curious stares of people for interacting with a houseworker. In a way, you wanted Thoma to feel welcomed around you. You wanted him to know that it didn't matter to you what his status was at all!
What you didn't account for was that it mattered to him. He's glad to be your friend, even more so the object of your infatuation but... this really isn't something that should work out.
So he breaks up with you. You who has everything in life except for the person you love.
He's so kind about it too So, so kind that you find it hard to be mad at him when he's apologetically holding your cheek, voice low and soft as he tells you you're just both too different.
It could start raining while you're breaking up and he'd give you an umbrella because he knows just how much your clothes are worth (hint: more than his salary, that's for sure) and he's just thoughtful that way, it makes your heart clench even more
imagine going back to the same life you've lived but it feels grey now. It's different, and high society starts to feel a little more stuffy without Thoma by your side.
So you go through the motions of moving on; you find someone new, a noble, you date, and he brings you to these fancy places you've tried before. He buys you bags and clothes, new additions to your closet (unlike the little wooden charm bracelet Thoma got you that sits between golds and silvers); he knows how to perform every step in a dance (unlike Thoma who drags you along with the flow, laughing while your bodies sway to the beat).
You get married for the good of your clan and you convince yourself that it's fine. He's a great person, and everyone benefits, right?
So when the Kamisato representatives arrive to the glamorous and classy wedding, and you see Thoma, a simple retainer.
He stands nothing against your new influential partner, yet you'd give anything to experience the love he gave you again.
note !! this has been in my drafts for a few months, it's originally an outline for a fic but im leaving it in HC format

Be My Valentine?
Pairing: Bernard x Nicole Blake
A/N: It’s still technically Valentine’s Day! So have a short fic of Bernard asking me on our first date! And Happy Valentine’s Day!
Nic poked her head into the kitchen, brown hair frazzled despite its small ponytail. She blew a strand of hair from in front of her face. “We have a quarter of a tray of brownies left! We’re going to need more brownies in the next ten minutes!”
“I got you, Nic!” Jade shouted, pulling a tray of brownies from the rack. They were carried to the front where they replaced the nearly empty tray of brownies, the old being stacked on top of the new. As Jade disappeared back into the kitchen, one of the bakery’s employees, Brad, entered from outside the front.
“Van’s full and ready for the deliveries,” he told Nic, handing her the keys.
She hated driving and making deliveries, but the only other people allowed to drive the company van and make deliveries were either in the kitchen finishing the Valentine’s orders that were expected to be picked up, or on vacation. So she was stuck with the responsibility.
Nic sighed heavily as she clutched the keys. She started to untie her apron. “Think you can handle the front without me?” She asked both him and Bernard, who was scooping chocolate chip cookies into a bag. They both nodded, but Bernard was the one who replied.
“Absolutely. We’ve got this,” he told her.
Nic smiled and reached over to pat him on the arm.
Bernard felt all of the air leave his lungs in the moment her hand connected with him. His face suddenly felt hot and his hands froze in his movement. Nic didn’t even notice his lack of response as she tugged on her jacket and headed for the door.
“Don’t get into too much trouble without me!” Nic jokingly told them as she stepped out of the front door. It shut behind her, the bell ringing as it did.
Even once she was out of sight, his brain wasn’t working. All he could think about was that she touched him. Her hand was on his arm.
An elbow to his ribs pulled him from his train of thought, but his heart continued to flutter. He looked over at Brad who smirked at him as he rang up a customer. It was an open secret in the bakery that Bernard had a crush on Nic. Everyone knew, even the owner. Well, everyone except for Nic. She was somehow oblivious to his feelings, despite the longing gazes he gave whenever she left the room.
“Shut up,” Bernard mumbled, moving to fill the order in the hope it would keep the blush from growing further on his face.
Noon came and Nic had come back from making the deliveries. She rejoined Bernard and Brad in the front, helping them with customers and filing orders. During a lull in service they leaned against the counters and chatted. Brad told them about his plans to propose to his girlfriend during their Valentine’s dinner.
“Do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day?” Bernard asked Nic as she took a big gulp from her water bottle.
She shook her head. “I’m just going to go home and order some Chinese and watch Star Wars. I never have Valentine’s plans.”
“Oh. Never?” He inquired, and Brad hid his smirk behind a bagel. “I just thought, maybe you’d have plans.”
“No, I’m kind of married to work right now. I’m first to come in and last to leave. Same with today, actually.” She pointed to both men. “You two are clocking at four-thirty like everyone else. No buts.”
“And you do this every year?” Bernard asked.
“The last four that I’ve worked here,” she said, stepping up to the cash register as a family came into the bakery. “Now look alive, gentlemen. We have some cookies to sell.”
Nic had just finished sweeping when she heard the door to the bakery open. It was five minutes until normal closing time so she assumed it was a regular customer unaware they closed early. Wiping her hands on her pants, she walked into the front of the bakery.
“Sorry, we’re closed. Come back in the morning–” Nic paused when she looked up and saw Bernard standing in the middle of the bakery.
His hair was combed neatly and he was dressed in a button up shirt. In his hands was a bouquet of red roses. He had an anxious expression as he shifted on his feet. His face shifted to bright red as he looked at her.
“Happy Valentine’s Day?” He greeted.
Nic walked from behind the counter, mouth agape as she stared at him. Bernard held the bouquet out to her. She took it from him gently. “Thank you.” She gave him a shy smile. “What’s this about?”
“Do you want to go to dinner? Together?” He asked her hesitantly.
It took a moment before she could respond, not expecting the words that came from him. She nodded before she could speak. “I’d like that. Um, let me lock up.” She rushed behind the counter to grab her jacket and the copy of the keys to the bakery. “Do you have any ideas of where we’re going to dinner?”
Bernard shook his head, stepping over to help her put her jacket on. “I thought I’d let you pick.”
She smiled at him. “I know a place.” Nic leaned up to press a kiss to his cheek. “Happy Valentine’s Day, Bernard.”

⚠︎ I HAVE VIDEO FROM THE LAST EPISODE IN THIS POST SO IT HAS SPOILERS IN IT. NOW YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ⚠︎
There lots of video throughout the series in this post because I need to make a point.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HEY I just remembered a thing I was going to ramble about here a couple of days ago but I was tired after work so I forgot.
But we need to talk about something important here and that is ->
Kumo's Voice
Firstly, when one watches the series - when you first hear this man and for most of the series, while he speaks little (due to poor company) when he does talk he almost always speaks in near monotone.
See here:
Kumo speaks in damn near monotone for most of the series BECAUSE he is purposely forcing his emotions into a tiny bottle and trying not to feel ANYTHING due to how Chaos functions.
Kumo's voice is mostly monotone ON PURPOSE.
Chaos, the main enemy of the series and who the Unlimited are charged with fighting this eternal fight with - is a god like being that is basically darkness incarnate.
Chaos gains power by feeding on the negative emotions of living beings.
So the Unlimited both took an extremely different approach to how they were going to address this fact in the terms of their shared enemy.
Kaze - continued to brew in hatred and rage and basically just decided fuck chaos and that he wouldn't try not to feel those things because Chaos could choke on it.
Kumo - decided to handle this fact by shutting down every single emotional system he could ever possess - including the good ones - and decided that the best way to address this aspect of his enemy was to never feel anything ever again.
AKA
Kaze at "I don't fucking care about how Chaos feeds. Chaos can take my rage and choke on it." Kumo at "Can't feed off of my emotions if I don't have any."
Needless to say this went very very poorly for the Cloud.
As the series progresses you can hear the emotion come back into his voice little by little and then his brother shows up and all bets are off - the whole episode is a mess and we get this by the end of it:
Tumblr media
Kumo's entire voice shifts the next time we see him to pure growling.
youtube
And from here he turns into a snarky asshole when encountering Kaze:
youtube
To becoming soft and polite with the main party and protective at the end of everything and sort of turning back to his actual voice by the last episodes - >
youtube
And I want you to take a minute and compare that "Get out of here!" to the previous "Heed my words, all of you. None of you will ever stand a chance against The Earl." From episode 4.
This is 20 episodes later.
Shit has happened. Kumo is not the same man he was when the series started. He's taken certain masks he was holding himself to and thrown them in the fucking trash. He's done with a certain level of bullshit and he's just not playing games anymore at this point.
Oh but then we get to THIS
(and this my friends is the last episode, so it is the most spoilery thing I can give you even though there's really no context to it)
We get to this RANGE in this man's voice - who has been damn near monotone and almost emotionless for the entire fucking series. We get to fucking THIS and I desperately need you to listen to this to hear him go from the first couple videos to THIS.
youtube
Kumo goes from dead monotone to THIS by the end of the animated series all because of all the shit that goes down and all the things about him that CHANGE. I can only imagine had After / After Spiral / After 2 gotten animated - the man's range would have gotten out even more.
My point in all this is - Kumo will destroy parts of himself in order to protect himself and the people around him and his voice is a prime example of that.
I'm also saying this because Kumo did something no one in his life currently has really caught him on yet or thought about.
Kumo destroyed his Misterican accent in the name of survival.
Living in Gaudium under The Earl / Chaos - meant Misterican was considered "speaking improperly" so not only did he need to learn Wonderlandian - he needed to learn to speak it with a Wonderlandian accent.
It wasn't like when he lived on Windaria with Kaze - no he can speak fluent Windarian but he speaks it with a Misterican accent - because he's Misterican.
Misterican speaks a lot from behind the ears and rolling Rs and rolling sounds in general. It'll come from the lower throat and the nose and it is fucking fast. There are some words that are words but are said in a way that makes them more of a sound and less of a word.
Kumo's accent that he should have from speaking his mother tongue is gone. He spent years destroying his own voice, just so he would be deemed as more acceptable to the people he was living with.
AKA Chaos and Company. His greatest enemy.
And then he took it a step further and after he tore his heritage out of his voice, he tore the emotion out of it too.
All in the name of survival and protecting those around him. Chaos can't pull power from his emotions if he doesn't have any and he can't get in trouble if he's not speaking "incorrectly".
This is part of why I keep saying that all of Kumo's words are important. It's not just in choice but in how they sound. The time in the last year he's been out of Gaudium has allowed the emotion to start to really settle in his tone again and thanks to the help of some people around him getting him to fall back in love with his mother tongue, his accent is just starting to peek back out too.
Audio for Kumo's untranslated name:
Valkoinen Pilvi

Idol Taehyung x Idol Reader Yoongi x Reader Jimin x reader
Taehyung meets his best friend's sister and its love at first sight but only for him
Warnings: None
Rating of fic: 18+
Words: 1.1K
Note
April 14th, 2012
Name: Y/N
Nickname: Poppie
Age: 14
For the first time in my life Jimin won't be around he won't tease me for following him everywhere, for trying to copy him and his dancing or following him to the dance studio to see if he can teach me anything. He just left...to Seoul to be the next Big Bang or something. It's gonna feel weird without Jimin, it's only been a month but it's just been me and Jihyun. Im gonna miss my oldest brother so much. I'm gonna work hard and try to do the same thing as Jimin has and always will be one of my biggest influences in my life not just because he's my older brother but because of his passion.
I put my pen down and walk downstairs to only see Jihyun sitting watching T.V. by himself without anyone around, I try to sneak around to see what's he's watching but I know I got caught when I hear "Still miss him little one?"
I look up to see Jihyun talking to me and tell him
"One, We are Irish twins which means you're not even a year older than me, two, yeah..."
I sigh as I sit next to him and lean my head onto his shoulder before asking. "What do you think is going to happen? Do you think we'll see him again?"
I look up surprised as I wasn't expecting an immediate answer
"Well, first things first we both need sleep"
I look at my brother in disbelief and laugh. "Next you'll need to practice more than ever to either do the same as Jimin or be better than him"
I suddenly laugh at him before swatting his shoulder from laughing before asking
"Whoever said I'll be doing the same thing?"
Jihyun just pats my head. "I just know it, you have the same passion as Jimin, and your teacher is gonna tell you what they told him and try to get you into an entertainment company as well, unlike me you guys are talented in the dancing and singing area."
I giggle at that comment before teasing him. "Oh yeah? Like you are not mister 'I draw all the time' but I guess your right"
Jihyun smiles at me. "make your brothers proud and be the best at what you do Poppie and beat Jimin at his own game that will wind up his gears"
I smile proudly and giggle slightly before smiling at him as I walk into Jimin's room as I felt my phone vibrate.
Its Jimin!!
he only left a month ago and he can't stand not talking to his little sister
Jiminiee~:
Hey Poppie! I couldn't stand not talking to you! I wanted to say that I miss you and the members are already so nice to me! One day I hope you can meet them!!Well I gotta get going practice awaits. I'll Facetime you when Im finished Love you!~
I smiled at his message and layed on Jimin's bed and looked around before thinking.
This can be my escape room where I practice until I'm at least seventeen.
This is gonna be great...right?
Oh how I was so wrong...
May 9th, 2012
Jimin facetimes me almost every single day, well whenever he has any time that is, I have seen some of his bandmates in the background. I only know of SeokJin,Yoongi and Hoseok. They are very nice. I like the one named Yoongi he's quiet like me. Though I really do miss Jimin, but I am improving my singing and dancing everyday so I can be the best I can be and be just like him. Its my dream.
I put my pen down and go into Jimin's room and put on a song from his mp3 that he left here a song called Miss Independent by an American artist called Ne-Yo (if you know that song you're a real one) and start dancing. I dance and dance until I fall onto Jimin's bed right as I do so I look up to see Jihyun walk into the room.
"Exhausted Poppie?" I hear him ask.
I nod as I am panting from dancing to much as he chuckles slightly. "You try doing this, It may be exhausting, but it is worth it in the end." I said in between pants before I get up walking to my room to get some rest.
August 7th, 2012
I met the rest of Jimin's members, they are all so nice, but ever since I met his best friend, Taehyung, he is always in the facetime with Jimin. He is funny and all but I facetime my brother to see my brother which low key gives me odd vibes. I don't say anything, because I don't want to hurt his feelings and because that's his best friend. Jimin tells me he thinks he is fat, which wants me to smack his head, because he is not. Summer is approaching to an end which means more time practice in the dance studio and I can practice my singing now. The more I practice the more I will get accepted in an entertainment company when I'm seventeen!!
October 6th, 2012
Mine and Jimin's birthday is coming up, its lonely without him but I'm starting to get used to it, my teacher today told me I'm as talented as Jimin when he was my age which makes me smile wide, why wouldn't I? It's what I'm going for after all, Jimin is doing well training for his debut to become an idol. I am going to follow in his steps, no matter what it takes.
January 18th, 2013
Age:15
Nickname: Tulip
Jimin told me that the CEO of his entertainment "Hitman Bang" is thinking about a debut date sometime in the summer, I will be In Seoul from May to July for a trip with my class. I hope it's around the time I'm there, I wanna see Jimin so bad, just to get a hug from him would mean everything to me. I told Jimin about this trip and he was very excited. I hope I do get to see my older brother soon, it has almost been a year since I have seen Jimin in person. If I can see him I can observe what it's like to be an idol and that makes me so happy!
June 12th, 2013
Jimin invited me to some music show to see what it's like and I just met all of the members of Bangtan Sonyeondan. They all are so lovely, but Taehyung; well V is always at least 5 feet away from me. Its nice to see my brother again, its nice. I really missed my big brother and Yoongi he even more quiet in person which makes me shy as well I hope I can be friends with all of them

Weather in the new world was a mystery, even with all their talented meteorologists on that island, nothing could have warned them about a tropical storm in the middle of a peaceful evening. One which Mr 3 so dearly invited Linn to finally paint these little figures made of wax of her crew. Over the grass with a view to the sea, it sounded perfect. They had barely started it when the wind hit— thunder and rain following after in a heartbeat. A wax umbrella wasn’t enough to protect from the rain, but it did get them back at the protection of the artist’s atelier. There, upon noticing the switch didn’t work as no light turned on. Galdino used his power to light on the chandelier in a golden hue of lights that made the main room visible again. “Probably a tent that hit the main powerline. Well~ there’s no other more useful than me in these situations, ga ne. Candles are my thing after all. Saa~ let’s get you some clothes, shall we? Mr Eustass won’t like it if the doctor on his ship comes back with a cold—Also there's no better opportunity to partake on Mink's culture than that, isn't that right? Fu ha ha ha ha!” After searching through his wardrobe, Mr 3 offers her a towel, a blue wool jacket with his moniker’s number engraved three times as amusing as it can be together with proper pants that would fit her. 
After leaving her, Galdino went to dry himself and change as well. Stopping by the large window frame of the main room, sat in a relaxed way as a towel hang from his shoulders in a simple more casual clothes. It was impossible to keep his silly hairstyle without the proper help of a hair dryer so he chose to just leave it loose with a few upkeep strands over the shoulder and face. Upon seeing her, a prideful smile took his expression. "Page 4, chapter 3 of my notes. Exchanging clothes is a sign of friendship and affection in mink culture! Missy Linn has been such a marvelous company in the past months—Consider it a vote of trust from yours truly, ga ne.”  He fixed his hair, putting a bang over the ear.
He reached for another towel, holding it open in hands with an open invitation. “I barely could dry my hair off. Did you have trouble with your fur? Shall I help, ga ne?” ((things that could easily be a starter buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut cough cough hope its alright im new here))
@waxgentleman `♡´ Only Candlelight (Semi-Plotted???)
Linn is usually quite fond of water, if it is not coming from above and is anything colder than room temperature. Despite them planning their meet-up on a day that was foreseeing no storms, on the opposite, it should be a warm day with barely any wind and rays of sunshine all the way, not a cloud in the sky. She learns yet again that the weather can be unpredictable.
With a nod in gratitude, the feline takes both the towel and the outfit that Galdino offered her. Ivory fur drenched in the cold and quite salty rain from being close to the sea quickly dries with a few hearty rubs, which led to her looking all nicely fluffed up for a moment. What a coincidence; they nearly wear the same size.
Some minutes pass. The mink doctor now all dressed up in her friend's warm and, more importantly, dry outfit, the jacket hugging her body, fur and the inside of the fabric in a comfortable embrace that leaves the woman humming in approval. The soft candlelight distracts her slightly; her eyelids lower gently with a purr. ❝ Hm? Oh, you did your homework yet again. It is indeed a sign of great friendship and trusssssttt-...❞
Tumblr media
Oh? He got rid of the hair ties. That must be the first time she spots him with anything other than his certainly special hairstyle. Yes, letting his hair fall loose would make sense; it wouldn't dry at all if Galdino kept it up all day after being caught up in the rain. But this reveal comes so casually and unsuspected! Linn's lips tugged up in a nervous smile, an unsure chuckle, while not able to gaze away from this new revelation.
❝ Ah, y-you know, I might be a little soaky here and there. Thick fur... you wouldn't understand, tehe...❞ A blatant lie. The cat was dry, fluffy, looking like she was actually freshly blow-dried. What a cheeky little attempt to get a closer look at Mr. 3 without being obvious. ❝ I would not say no if you suggested helping me dry up a bit more? Just if it is not inconvenient, of course. ❞

Part I - What is Continuous Discovery?
"This book will introduce a continuous discovery framework that enables teams to discover brand new products and to iterate on existing ones" "It outlines a collection of habits that, when deployed week over week, lead to better business outcomes and better customers outcomes" "1. Outcome oriented - This means rather than defining your success by the code that you ship (your output), you define success as the value that code creates for your customers and for your business (the outcomes" "2. Customer - centric - It requires that we not lose sight of the fact (even though many companies have) that the purpose of business is to create and serve a customer" "3. Collaborative - Rather than the product manager decides, the designer designs, and the engineer codes, we embrace a model where we make team decisions while leveraging the expertise and knowledge that we each bring to these decisions" "4. Visual - The habits in this book will encourage you to draw, to externalize your thinking, and to map what you know" "5. Experimental - Many of us may not have science training, but, to do discovery well, we need to learn to think like scientists identifying assumptions and gathering evidence" "6. Continuous - Rather than thinking about discovery as something that we do at the beginning of a project, you will learn to infuse discovery continuously throughout your development process" "He argues that a company's purpose is to serve the customer. Instead of framing business needs at the odds with customer needs, Drucker is aligning the two, by arguing that serving the customer is how we generate profit" "Opportunity solution trees are a simple way of visually representing the paths you might take to reach a desired outcome"
Part II - Continuous Discovery Habits
"When we manage by outcomes, we give our teams autonomy, responsibility, and ownership to chart their own path" "When multiple teams are signed the same outcome, it's easy to shift blame for lack of progress" "Challenging goals create focus, inspire effort and persistence, and help surface relevant organizational knowledge" "It's perfectly fine to start with a learning goals and work your way toward a S.M.A.R.T performance goal" "When setting product outcomes, avoid these common anti-patterns: - Pursuing too many outcomes at once - Ping-ponging from outcome to another - Setting individual outcomes instead of product-trio outcomes - Choosing an output as an outcome - Focusing on one outcome to the detriment of all else" "When working with an outcome for the first time, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. It helps to first map out your customers experience as it exists today" "To get started, you'll need to first set the scope of your experience map" "To prevent group think, it's critical that each member of the trio start by developing their own perspective before the trio works together to develop a shared perspective" "Drawing allows us to externalize out thinking, which, in turn, helps us examine that thinking" "As you work to visualize what you know, avoid there common anti-patterns: - Getting bogged down in endless debate - Using words instead of visuals - Moving forward as if your map is true - Forgetting to refine and evolve your map as you learn more" "Since we can't ask our customers direct questions about their behavior, the best way to learn about their needs, pain points, and desires is to ask them to share specific stories about their experience" "A narrow scope will help you optimize your existing product. Broader questions will help will help you uncover new opportunities. The broadest questions will help you uncover new markets" "The golden rule of interviewing is to let the participant talk about what they care about most" "Weekly interviewing is foundational to a strong discovery practice" "A digital product is never done, and the opportunity space is never finite or complete" "As you start building your continuous interviewing habit, avoid these common anti-patterns: - Relying on one person to recruit and interview participants - Asking who, what, why, how, and when questions - Interviewing only when you think you need it - Sharing what you learned by sending out pages of notes and/or sharing a recording - Stopping to synthesize a set of interviews" "Our customers stories are rife with gaps between what they expect and how the world works" "But our job is not to address every customers opportunity. Our job is to address customer opportunities that drive our desired outcome" "After you've created your first draft , keep and eye out for these common anti-patterns: - Opportunities framed from your company's perspective - Vertical opportunities - Opportunities have multiple parent opportunities - Opportunities are not specific - Opportunities are solutions in disguise" - Capturing feelings as opportunities" "We assume that success comes from launching features. That is what product thought leader Melissa Perri calls The Build Trap" "Our customers care about solving their needs, pain points, and desires" "By addressing only one opportunity at a time, we unlock the ability to deliver value iteratively over time" "We want to prioritize opportunities that support our company vision, mission, and strategic objectives over opportunities that don't" "As you assess and prioritize the opportunity space, be sure to avoid these common anti-patterns: - Delaying a decision until there is more data - Over relying on one set of factors at the cost of the others - Working backwards from your expected conclusion" "In other words, as we generate more ideas, the diversity and novelty of those ideas increases" "Study after study found that the individuals generating ideas alone outperformed the brainstorming groups" "Research shows that while we are better at generating ideas individually, we are better at evaluating ideas as a group" "As you generate ideas, be sure to avoid these common anti-patterns: - Not including diverse perspectives - Generating too many variations of the same idea - Limiting ideation to one session - Selecting ideas that don't address the target opportunity" "Product teams are particularly susceptible to confirmation bias and the escalation of commitment" "Additionally assumption testing is generally quicker than idea testing, and the faster pace helps us guard against the escalation of commitment" "One of the best ways to align as a team around what your ideas mean is to story map them" "We aren't story mapping what it would take to build the service - we are story mapping what the key players need to do for our customers to get value from it" "Throughout your story map, every time you assume that an end-user will do something, you are making desirability assumptions, usability assumptions and feasibility assumptions" "Pre-mortems are a great way to generate assumptions" "As you work to identify the hidden assumptions behind your ideas, be sure to avoid these common anti-patterns: - Not generating enough assumptions - Phrasing your assumptions such that you need them to be false - Not being specific enough - Favoring one category at the cost of other categories" "Assumption test don't merely give us a go/no-go decision for an individual idea; they help us evaluate sets of ideas" "As we test assumptions, we want to start small and iterate to bigger, more reliable, more sound tests, only after each previous round provides an indicator that continuing to invest is worth our effort" "Our goal as a product team is not to seek truth but to mitigate risk" "As you design and run your assumption tests, keep these common anti-patterns in mind: - Overly complex simulations - Use percentage instead of specific numbers when defining evaluation criteria - Not defining enough evaluation criteria - Testing with the wrong audience - Designing for less than the best-case scenario" "This is why we say discovery feeds delivery and delivery feeds discovery. They aren't two distinct phases. You can't have one without the other" "It's counterintuitive, but when instrumenting your product, don't try to measure everything from the start" "Instead of trying to plan everything upfront, start small and experiment your way to the best instrumentation" "We aren't afraid to measure hard things - and you shouldn't be either" "As you work to instrument your product and understand the impact of your product changes on your desired outcomes, avoid the common anti-patterns: - Getting stuck trying to measure everything - Hyper focusing on you assumption tests and forgetting to walk the lines of you opportunity solution tree - Forgetting to test the connection between your product outcome and your business outcome" "Most of the work in discovery is not following the process - it's managing the cycles" "The fruit of discovery work is often the time we save when we decide not to build something" "As you manage the cycles of continuous discovery, be sure to avoid there common anti-patterns: - Overcommitting to an opportunity - Avoiding hard opportunities - Drawing conclusions from shallow learnings - Giving up before small changes have time to add up" "It's not enough to do good discovery if you aren't bringing your stakeholders along with you" "When meeting with stakeholders, don't start with your conclusions. Instead, slow down and show your work" "When meeting with stakeholders, start at the top of your tree. Remind your stakeholders what your desired outcome is" "When we show our work, we are inviting our stakeholders to co-create with us" "As you work with your stakeholders, keep these common anti-patterns in mind: - Telling instead of showing - Overwhelming stakeholders with all the messy details - Arguing with stakeholders about why their ideas won't work - Trying to win the ideological battle instead of focusing in the decision in hand"
Part III - Developing Your Continuous Discovery
"Instead of asking for permission or waiting for someone to show you how, start small. Iterate from there." "Don't work alone. The habits in this book are designed to be adopted by a cross-functional trio" "When product teams engage with their customers week-over-week, they don't just get the benefit of interviewing more often - they also start rapid prototyping and experimenting more often" "I believe continuous interviewing is a keystone habit for continuous discovery. Of all of the habits in this book, if you are looking for one place to get started, this is it" "As you work to adopt the continuous discovery habits, be sure to avoid these common anti-patterns: - Focusing on why a given strategy won't work (aka that will never work here), instead on what is within your control - Being the annoying champion for the right way of working - Waiting for permission instead of starting with what is within your control"

The loaning and loaning platform contacted readers to neglect the phony news and remain notified throughout these difficult times.Cryptocurrencies Short sellers seeking to benefit through "phony news" Nexo declares it is the victim of defamation of characters by confidential Twitter accounts, meaning to earnings by short-selling throughout "a distressed market."" Several confidential Twitter accounts are utilizing lies and distortion in yet another defamation of character versus Nexo and making money from brief positions in a distressed market." In supporting the claim, Nexo set out the "normal formula" for phony news to inform readers on what to keep an eye out for. Nexo stated the approach starts by making an "abstruse" claim to control readers into deserting reasoning while at the same time getting an online following through sensationalization. Although Nexo discussed being assaulted by a number of confidential Twitter accounts, it singled out @otteroooo, especially a tweet implicating the business creators of siphoning funds from a charity. NEXO FOUNDER & & FAMILY SIPHONED FUNDS FROM CHARITY FOR SICK KIDS, USED DONATIONS AS PERSONAL SLUSH FUND, EVEN BUILT A PALACE FOR THEMSELVES Evidences provided completely by otter listed below no bueno!-- otteroooo (@otteroooo) June 26, 2022 To reject the accuser, Nexo provided screenshots of a discussion in which @otteroooo requested USDC 50,000 to offer the Twitter account.

Hello there! Do Attenuate and Reverberate take place in the same universe? It sounds like they do. Talk a bit about those Shareholders. What are they holding shares in. Gimme them sweet, sweet sci-fi deets.
Yes! They are the same universe. The original draft(s) for Attenuate/Reverberate was one sprawling document--well over 140k even with several machete-level edits. Fortunately, there was a fairly natural break point about half-way through the OG manuscript which, with some replotting to make both books satisfying, I think is gonna work!
Shareholder explanation under cut for length :)
The seven Shareholders are the primary stakeholders in the Liberation Movement. It was originally founded by a guy named Lexus Zhao-Durre when he realized that the mind-control tech (placeholder: psych-anim), which sparked a gnarly war and split the original unifying interplanetary government into two, had never been truly eliminated like the Protectorate, the primary successor to the OG government, had promised. His attempts to bring this to the attention of the other government, the Confederation (placeholder) were met with disbelief, contempt, and inaction due to interstate/interplanetary issues within the Confederation. Eventually, he was able to found the Liberation, a company dedicated to destroying the psych-anim systems and to help people recover from its after-effects. Unfortunately, until just about the start of Attenuate, there was no possible way for people to recover from psych-anim withdrawal, leaving anyone who had ever experienced high degrees of psych-anim and then been quickly removed from the system prone to entering a violent shock-rage-apathy cycle without warning. Furthermore, although the withdrawal effects themselves are not transmittable, susceptibility to psych-anim (and then the withdrawal) is. For ease of explanation, think zombies, but more traditionally Vodou (living body without a soul) than Walking Dead (mmm brains).
Anyway, Zhao-Durre eventually brings in other like-minded people until there are seven Shareholders, each with almost equal stake (Zhao-Durre and the number two, Avelin Urie, have slightly larger shares), and they have a huge workforce. The Shareholders are able to pose movement-wide votes and cast them anonymously, with Zhao-Durre and Urie having double-weighted votes, and overall, they work to do as Zhao-Durre originally set out. Within three years of the Liberation's concrete formation, the Protectorate, via their Department of Stability, completely shuts them down. The Liberation relocates illegally to Confederate space and continues growing out of there, until they become one of the most powerful organizations in human space.
Eventually, one of the older Shareholders, a guy named Carter Kowalski-Wolfe, realizes that the only way to stop the psych-anim effects from spreading and worsening is to kill everyone affected. Specifically, to kill everyone from the Protectorate's safest, wealthiest, and happiest planets (all factors as a direct result of psych-anim over the entire population). He brings in Shareholder Kushal Krueger, an AI, and has him run the numbers to confirm projected casualties from continued psych-anim and population destruction, and upon confirming that psych-anim is the greater evil, poses the vote to the other Shareholders that they should kill the population of Harpazo, the Protectorate's secondary capitol and the oldest human-inhabited planet other than Earth, with an infrasound weapon. With some debate, a majority (but not unanimous) vote, and then several warnings to the Protectorate about their intentions--which are summarily dismissed--they make good on their word. The main character for both Attenuate and Reverberate, Madison Arcona, is from a small city on Harpazo.
While those warnings are being sent, the Liberation continues to work towards finding a solution/remedy to withdrawal. A technologic breakthrough based off new AI research leads to Dr. Aine Yang, one of the newer Shareholders whose specialty is in psych-anim computing, to create a prototype anti-withdrawal device. With the destruction of Harpazo's people (and due to some wacky estate laws specific to Harpazo based around the concept of trust family) the Liberation receives an influx of funding and is able to produce Yang's devices, establishing anti-withdrawal hospitals on all Liberation-affiliated planets. Unfortunately, the devices' success is not 100%, and is still unreliable. Enter the plot.
Whew, that was fun! And a looooot of names/terms. I haven't actually written that out in paragraph form before, so thanks for the ask!
