#How To Fix Constant Rebooting Problem

[ayukaze]

OKAY LET'S TALK ABOUT SORA SHALL WE

I'm seeing a lot of takes (especially on twitter) which are just driving me up the wall and also I’m convinced that half the people who shit on Tri never really watched it because Sora actually had the best struggle and development in Loss but they are being so loud about how Beyond "fixes" her from Tri/Kizuna timeline.

Before I get into the plot discussion, I want to point out my main problem with the interpretation of Sora's very brief and dialogue less appearance in Beyond which is being compared to a full series and an ova short.

A friend on twitter aptly worded this but the belief that Sora needs to rid herself of her obvious femininity to seem "badass" and "cool" is so wrong. Trust me I was the most excited to see her outfit in Beyond, but that doesn't erase her Kizuna version or Tri version for me, and it certainly does not make me think that when she puts on a yukata as a Ikebana practitioner every morning she suddenly loses the essence of everything that makes her cool. Imho considering the rocky memories Ikebana might hold for her because of her relationship with her mother when she was young, deciding to go down this career path despite that makes her much more cooler and badass in my eyes than wearing a boyish baseball hat. And if you actually watched Tri, especially Loss, you'd see she does a lot of "cool" shit in too, while wearing her uniform skirt and school shoes but I digress.

Keeping the offhanded comments on her appearance aside, let's actually sit down and talk about her character arc in Tri without turning this into a shipping debate LET'S TALK ABOUT SORA.

Most Tri haters like to assume that every character's story arc began and finished in the part which focused on them, but that's actually not the case I'm begging you all to please watch Tri, all of their arcs begin in part 1 and end in part 6.

In case of Sora, we can see that it's not easy growing up as the mom friend of the group, the way it isolates her and she starts seeing herself as someone who should never cause problems for others, but always be a pillar of support. In the first 3 Tri movies, Sora is working day and night to keep peace between the kids be it Taichi and Yamato's issues or Koushiro and Mimi's differences, she is always playing the peacemaker. While trying to keep an eye on Takeru and Hikar and to support Jou's decision to not fight. On top of this we have Meiko added to the gang, and now she feels responsible for Meiko's wellbeing too. In the midst of all this, Piyomon is her constant. Sora continues to care for others knowing that Piyomon will continue to care for her.

But then the reboot happens and they’re back to square one, the only rock in her life no longer recognises her.

And that’s fine because we’ve been there done that, right?

But no, this time it’s different.

This time it’s not the same Piyomon who clung to her almost annoyingly at times, this Piyomon doesn’t trust her, this Piyomon doesn’t like her being too attached and Sora has no one she can unburden herself to, because all her other fiends have already restarted their friendships with their partners without any hiccups.

It’s her who needs someone to say, ‘hey it’s going to be alright I’m here for you’ but when push comes to shove, no one, not even Taichi or Yamato are able to say the exact words she needs to hear, even though if the roles were reversed, she'd be much more successful at this than any of them. Meiko swoops in to help to some extent, since she is familiar with this sort of situation, having to deal with Meicoomon.

At the end of the day, realising that even if Piyomon keeps pushing her away, as long as Sora continues to love Piyomon with all her heart she’d be able to earn her partner’s trust again is something she pulls off by herself, and quite beautifully too.

But her problems don't end there because even if Piyomon is by her side now, even more dangerous things are happening to her friends. Meicoomon is still MIA which is causing major distress to Meiko. Taichi goes missing with the implication that he may never return. Instead of dealing with her own feelings on this, she has to console Hikari, reassure her that her brother is okay even when she doesn’t know the truth herself.

When Taichi finally makes it back, she has to watch him bear the brunt of making the tough call of ending Ordinemon knowing what it means for Meiko and knowing how much Hikari is against it.

Sure they end up saving the day and Meiko decrees that this was all for the best, but after being witness to all of this if she decides in the future for the first time in her life to put her happiness, her safety, her life first, can anyone blame her for that???

Beyond for me, actually adds up to why we see her focusing on her life in Kizuna, the little easter eggs of the darker shit that they might have needed to deal with, only emphasises that Sora choosing to love herself is in the end the epitome of her growth.

At the time that she decided to pull back from the fighting, she probably didn't know that there would come a time when she loses Piyomon forever, but choosing to spend those last moments with her partner who has always just wanted to see Sora be a little selfish and love herself as much as she loves others is the perfect closure to their journey together.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Ayushi out.

Regarding the whole DC reboot nonsense:

It wasn't JUST about the origin stories but about the larger universe in general which (supposedly) had gotten too bloated with characters and storylines and events to keep track of. How accurate that statement is is questionable, but, as a creative I can understand the impulse to wipe the slate clean and start fresh. Of course this is easier for someone that is just writing a 5k word fanfic or creating a little indie-game to play with their friends and a bit more complicated when your universe has existed for decades and has millions of ardent fans, each of them invested into a different part of that universe.

In the end it doesn't even matter, ever since they did their first big reboot with Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985 they keep running into the issue that there is something they forgot to change or changed to much or changed their mind on in their last big reboot, so they have to fix that.

How? Well, they have the big red reboot-everything button still lying around there. Sure, didn't work perfectly last time, but surely this time it will, right? Since then we have gotten at least one big reboot per decade and their frequency has started to increase (insert pacific rim meme here) and guess what, their canon is still a mess and not fixed in the slightest, but they did manage to piss off every single fan at least once!

Anyway, the point being that there were some good intention behind shit like the New52, but a ton of issues were not properly thought through and the execution was botched on just about every level.

There is a great Video by OSP that looks into this (and Multiverses in general: https://youtu.be/GE95DZndTO8?si=l_kBUANmRfIo0IVX

And a MASSIVE deep dive by Polygon from a few years ago into just how the New 52 went down behind the curtains: https://www.polygon.com/comics/22679756/dc-comics-reboot-new-52-writers-oral-history

Sorry for the wall of text, stuff like this just really interests me!

Bold of you to assume I haven't already watched OSP Detail Diatribe The Multiverse Problem.

Yeah DC set a dangerous precedent with that first big Crisis reboot and we've been feeling the consequences ever since. The problem is that wiping the slate clean doesn't actually make things simpler; it just alienates old fans and ironically makes things more convoluted which in turn makes it harder to get new readers.

DC, and comics in general, have the appeal of a larger interconnected world but you can choose which slice(s) you interact with. Both Marvel and DC seem to think this means the appeal is constant crisis events and DC in particular is hard to get invested in because they've already proven they'll erase your favorite characters and pretend they don't exist. Hell even the big three have had their personalities dramatically changed multiple times

Wonder Woman’s Eternal Struggle: Why Can’t DC Let Her Grow? 🛡️✨

Wonder Woman is the most iconic female superhero of all time. No matter how many new characters emerge, Diana remains the ultimate reference when it comes to women in comics. Yet, unlike Batman and Superman—who have enjoyed decades of consistent myth-building—Wonder Woman’s development has been an absolute mess. Every generation of writers seems convinced that they can "fix" her better than the last, leading to an endless cycle of reinvention.

This has prevented Diana from achieving the same level of narrative consistency as her fellow members of DC’s Trinity. While Batman and Superman grow and evolve based on their past, Wonder Woman is stuck in a perpetual reboot, never allowed to truly establish herself.

A Character Without Real Continuity

When we compare the Trinity in DC’s recent reboots, the differences become painfully obvious:

🦇 Batman: Almost never truly rebooted. No matter what changes in the DC Universe, his history remains largely intact. Gotham, the Robins, his trauma—it’s all there.

🦸‍♂️ Superman: While he has undergone reboots, his core never changes: an alien raised by humble farmers, driven by truth and justice.

🛡️ Wonder Woman: With every new creative team, her story gets erased and rewritten from scratch. From a warrior sculpted from clay and blessed by the gods, to a demigod daughter of Zeus, to radical changes in Amazonian culture… each writer seems determined to impose their own vision without respecting what came before.

This problem isn’t new. Since her inception, Diana has been reshaped and reinterpreted in drastic ways. And while evolution is a natural part of comic book storytelling, her case doesn’t feel like growth—it feels like a constant lack of direction.

The Danger of Not Letting Diana Grow

One of the biggest issues with this lack of continuity is how it affects the public perception of the character. While Batman and Superman have built deep, complex mythologies over the years, Wonder Woman feels like she’s constantly being rediscovered, rather than being allowed to develop.

If she’s never given the chance to grow and retain a solid history, she will never hold the same narrative and emotional weight as her male counterparts. And that’s absurd because Wonder Woman isn’t just as iconic as them—she represents ideals that transcend gender: justice, equality, compassion, and strength.

Diana doesn’t need to be “fixed” every few years. What she needs is to be left alone—to be allowed to exist as a fully realized character, rather than an ongoing experiment. DC must stop demolishing her foundation over and over again and finally start building upon it.

Wonder Woman’s Struggles Reflect a Larger Issue in Storytelling 📖⚖️

This pattern with Diana isn’t just a problem in superhero comics—it’s a reflection of how women’s stories are often treated in media as a whole. Female characters are frequently reinvented, rewritten, or outright erased because their narratives are not seen as stable or essential the way male characters’ are.

Batman and Superman are viewed as pillars of DC, and their stories are treated with care, preserved and expanded upon rather than discarded. But Wonder Woman? She’s trapped in an endless cycle of “figuring out what makes her work,” despite the fact that she has already been working for over 80 years.

It’s no coincidence that this happens to the most famous female superhero in the world. Wonder Woman was created as a feminist icon, and yet she is never allowed the stability that her male counterparts enjoy. If we want to take female-led stories seriously, then we need to stop treating them as disposable, experimental, or secondary.

Wonder Woman isn’t a puzzle to be solved. She is a character with a rich history and a strong core, and it’s time for DC to honor that. Let her evolve, let her grow, and let her be the icon she was always meant to be.

Hey sweetcloverheart, As someone whom's also frustrated at the writing of Miraculous Ladybug,

I am curious about your Opinion on what and where Miraculous Ladybug fails at as a Magical Girl Show (Compared to stuff like Sailor Moon and Pretty Cure)?

I mean, It's already shown Marinette's very fustrating as a Character (As well as how the Power of Love only causes more Problems in Miraculous then it fixes, Plus also redeeming Abusive/Neglectful Fathers over Mean Teen Girls whom are somehow considered more evil then said abusive Fathers as well) but do you feel she'll work better if she's a Solo Hero with a More Traditional Western Superhero Show then a Team Magical Girl Show? (Basically embrace the Spiderman Side of Miraculous where it's Marinette alone against the World and the Media is painting her as the Villain while Adrien/Chat Noir's just an Occasional Ally at best/Wild Card to both sides at worst, Think the Original Darker Plans for Miraculous where Marinette was just a Solo Hero)

Or Alternatively, Would Miraculous Ladybug worked better if it was a Deconstruction of Magical Girls in the Vein of Neon Genesis Evangelion/Puella Magi Madoka Magica which both Animes are Deconstructs of their respective Genres (Given how Anti-Power of Love is Miraculous is, It does feel like a Reboot of Miraculous Ladybug in the Vein of Rebuild of Evangelion would be Genuinely interesting to say the least)

Regardless, Take Care and See Ya!

Hmm, this is a super complicated ask, but I'll try my best to answer

To put it simply, Miraculous's biggest issues are twofold - the fact that it's doing too little with it's premise while throwing in way too many concepts (that it never follows through on), and the fact that the "episodes must be watched individually"rule+bible outline for the show has a horrifying choke-hold on the show that's preventing any sort of beneficial deviation or plot development from anyone who isn't the villains. MLB could be a full on Deconstruction or a straight played Traditional Mahou with Maribug as a soloist or a team leader and it'd still run into the same issues because the problems are less with where it's failing and more with how it's not being allowed to live to its full potential thanks to how it's writing is being structured.

But if I could suggest it getting a genre facelift that might benefit it better, I'd say it's best chance would have been to go for a PG-13/Young teen rating. The fact of the matter is that it's a show trying to be a "secretly super mature" superhero show with a background plot that slowly becomes the main premise and constantly shocks you with constant reveals and plot twists - but it can't, because it's also a show aimed at toddlers meant to teach them good wholesome lessons while Mom and Dad are busy on the phone and therefore severely limited in the things it can do in the previously mention's "vein. MLB at it's core just is unable to really be compatible with that sort of thing, and was never meant to initially; Like you tell with what's been seen with the bible leaks and concept books that Thomas did not want to be doing a little kids' show with MLB's premise, or at least not a traditional one - and much like another infamous writer (who shan't be named) who was forced to be working on children's media when he wanted to be doing "big kids comics", he promptly decided to make that everyone else's problem.

How South African Enterprises Are Using Legacy Modernization to Cut Costs & Boost Agility

In South Africa's fast-changing digital economy, change is no longer a choice—it's a matter of survival. From the towering financial centers of Sandton to Cape Town’s thriving innovation hubs, business leaders are waking up to a hard reality: their legacy systems are holding them back.

Outdated infrastructure, inflated operational costs, and slow response times are increasingly unacceptable in a landscape where agility, efficiency, and digital readiness define competitive advantage. But there’s good news—many South African enterprises are proving that transformation is possible without sacrificing the foundation they’ve built their businesses on.

They’re embracing legacy modernization not as a simple tech upgrade, but as a strategic reboot—one that enables innovation, scalability, and resilience for the future.

Why Legacy Modernization Has Become a Business Priority in South Africa

For many long-standing South African enterprises—particularly those in finance, logistics, public administration, and utilities—legacy systems remain at the heart of their operations. These systems, developed years (or decades) ago, once represented cutting-edge solutions. Today, however, they’re expensive to maintain, difficult to secure, and nearly impossible to integrate with modern technologies.

When IT teams spend the majority of their time just keeping these systems operational, it leaves little room for innovation or digital growth. In an economy that’s both constrained and evolving, that’s a costly compromise.

The Hidden Costs of Standing Still

Often, businesses postpone modernization because of the old age: “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” But while legacy systems may still function, they do so at a silent cost:

IT Budgets Are Stretched Thin: Some companies allocate more than 60% of their IT budgets to keeping outdated systems alive.

Security Vulnerabilities Multiply: Legacy platforms lack the modern safeguards needed to combat today’s cyber threats, leaving critical data exposed.

Integration Is a Constant Struggle: Connecting legacy systems with mobile apps, APIs, or cloud services is often cumbersome—or not even possible.

The Talent Pool Is Shrinking: Developers skilled in older technologies like COBOL or .NET 1.0 are increasingly hard to find, and younger engineers often avoid working on outdated systems.

Why South African Enterprises Are Acting Now

The drive toward modernization is no longer just about IT—it’s about solving real business problems. Here’s why transformation is becoming urgent:

1. Reducing IT Costs and Unlocking Capital

Modern platforms—especially cloud-based solutions—allow businesses to move away from large upfront investments and toward more predictable, usage-based models. This frees up budget for strategic projects and innovation.

2. Becoming More Agile in a Fast-Moving Market

Modern systems allow businesses to quickly release updates, add features, or adapt to customer demands. What once took months now takes weeks—or even days. For sectors like fintech and e-commerce, this agility is a clear competitive advantage.

3. Attracting Top Technical Talent

Engineers want to work on modern, scalable, and impactful technology. Companies that invest in platforms built with tools like Python, Kubernetes, and React are more attractive to South Africa’s top developers.

4. Achieving Regulatory and Data Security Compliance

Modern systems make it easier to comply with evolving legislation like the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), while also enhancing data protection through built-in security protocols.

Real-World Success Stories from South Africa

Modernization isn’t a theory—it’s happening. Here are a few real-world examples that show the tangible business value:

A Johannesburg-Based Bank

Faced with high customer drop-off during onboarding, this bank migrated its legacy systems to a cloud-native environment.

Results:

Reduced onboarding time from 5 days to under 1 hour

Cut IT maintenance costs by 40%

Significantly improved customer satisfaction

Cape Town Logistics Provider

A regional logistics company modernized its outdated tracking system into a mobile-first, cloud-integrated platform.

Results:

28% improvement in delivery efficiency

Real-time route and fleet optimization

Lowered operational costs across fuel and labor

Provincial Health Department in Durban

This government agency modernized its communication and patient data systems across hospitals and clinics.

Results:

Faster synchronization of patient information

Emergency response time improved by 2x

Drastically reduced compliance risks and data errors

Common Modernization Strategies

In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses can’t afford to let outdated systems slow them down. That’s where modernization strategies come in—not just as a buzzword, but as a real necessity. Whether it's a legacy ERP system from the early 2000s or a monolithic application that can’t keep up with new customer demands, companies are turning to smarter, faster, and more flexible ways to evolve.

The most common strategies include replatforming (moving applications to modern cloud environments), refactoring (rebuilding the code to be more modular and scalable), and rehosting (aka "lift and shift" to cloud without changing much). Others may choose rearchitecting to unlock more agility or containerization to make applications easier to deploy and manage.

Each business is unique, so the right approach depends on current tech, long-term goals, and the speed at which change is needed. What’s most important is not just upgrading tech—but upgrading how people work with it.

Technologies Powering Legacy Modernization in South Africa

Cloud Infrastructure: Microsoft Azure (SA North) and AWS (Cape Town Region) ensure compliance and scalability

Containers & Orchestration: Kubernetes and Docker enable modular, portable apps

APIs & Microservices: Streamline integrations and promote system interoperability

Low-Code Platforms: Speed up development cycles and reduce dependency on legacy programming languages

Challenges to Anticipate

Every transformation brings challenges. South African organizations often encounter:

Employee resistance to abandoning familiar systems

Skill gaps in DevOps, cloud, or security

Data migration risks if poorly planned

Initial investment barriers, particularly for mid-sized firms

These can be overcome with the right roadmap, technology partners, and phased rollout strategies.

How Impronics Technologies Supports South Africa's Digital Shift

At Impronics Technologies, we understand that modernization is as much about people as it is about platforms. We partner with South African enterprises to:

Map legacy infrastructure and create customized modernization roadmaps

Migrate systems with minimal business disruption

Optimize cost structures and performance

Upskill internal teams and instill confidence in digital transformation

Whether you're modernizing your ERP, digitizing customer journeys, or upgrading government infrastructure—we’re here to make it smooth, scalable, and secure.

Final Thoughts

Legacy modernization isn’t a trend—it’s a necessary evolution. In South Africa’s competitive, digitally-driven market, businesses can no longer afford to delay. The faster you act, the faster you adapt.

Because the future doesn’t wait—and neither should your systems.

How do Over The Air updates work in Vehicles?

To keep pace with evolving technology and address the need for constant improvement, automotive manufacturers have embraced over-the-air (OTA) updates as a transformative solution. Let's delve into how OTA updates work in vehicles and their significance in shaping the future of automotive connectivity.

Introduction to OTA Updates in Vehicles

Over the air updates in vehicles involve the remote deployment of software updates, patches, and enhancements to various onboard systems and components. Unlike traditional methods that require physical access or dealership visits, OTA updates enable manufacturers to deliver updates directly to vehicles via wireless communication channels, such as cellular networks or Wi-Fi.

The OTA Update Process

Initiation: OTA updates are typically initiated by the vehicle manufacturer or a designated service provider. Manufacturers develop update packages containing software patches, bug fixes, new features, or security enhancements.

Transmission: Once the update package is ready, it is transmitted to vehicles over the air via a wireless network connection. This transmission can occur when the vehicle is parked, idle, or during predefined off-peak hours to minimize disruption to the driver.

Download and Verification: Upon receiving the update package, the vehicle's onboard system begins the download process. The update package is then verified for authenticity and integrity to ensure that it has not been tampered with or compromised during transmission.

Installation: After successful verification, the update is installed on the vehicle's electronic control units (ECUs), infotainment systems, telematics modules, or other onboard components. During the installation process, the vehicle may undergo temporary downtime or require a reboot to apply the updates.

Validation and Feedback: Once the update is installed, the vehicle performs validation checks to ensure that the new software functions as intended and does not introduce any issues or compatibility problems. Users may also receive feedback prompts or notifications indicating that the update was successful.

Conclusion: Shaping the Future of Automotive Connectivity

Over the air updates represent a significant advancement in automotive technology, revolutionizing the way vehicles receive software updates and improvements. By enabling remote deployment of updates, OTA technology enhances reliability, safety, and user experience while reducing costs and streamlining operations for manufacturers. As automotive connectivity continues to evolve, OTA updates will play a central role in shaping the future of automotive connectivity, ensuring that vehicles remain technologically relevant, secure, and efficient in an ever-changing landscape.

Lately there are times when I feel melancholic about the past. There were so many things I have been passionate about.

Mortal Kombat felt like my everything, but it turned into something unrecognizable by today and I'm no longer invested. I'm hollow towards something I liked very much and the worst part about it is that it's not me, it's Mortal Kombat being in the hands of wrong people that don't care about the fans that came before. If it was a me problem, that's something that can be fixed, but I can't fix how others treat Mortal Kombat. I was excluded by modern version of favorite universe. It is what it is.

DC Universe and comic books in general. Ever since Thor movie I was hardcore into following these interconnected universes. It was exciting. But everything was ruined by too many cooks in the kitchen. Characters and stories stopped being cosistent. When DC Rebirth happened I was actually following every ongoing title, but that reboot was also ruined, especially Superman when Bendis took the charge. Man of Steel movie wasn't followed up how I would've wanted it and ever since Zack Snyder started spreading that particular nonsense about cucked Superman, I was done, I'm out. I don't want to suffer anymore through these incosistencies, constant reboots and dumb author visions. Another chapter I left behind.

Couple of years ago I became huge fan of Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus. Those books actually made me passionate about reading again and ever since I have filled my personal library with lots of exciting new books that brought me joy upon reading. But then I learned that Rick Riordan killed Jason Grace in Trials of Apollo and all my passion evaporated. I can't be excited about this franchise anymore because there is only pain to look forward to. I have finished all PJO-verse books accept Trials of Apollo series, because I don't want to have something else be ruined for me again. If I can't control how people do their franchises, then I will control where I'm done with it. Heroes of Olympus has perfect ending and that's where it ends for me. Jason and Piper are together and live happily ever after towards that vision of them old together that Jason saw in Blood of Olympus book.

Star Wars? It ended on Return of the Jedi. This franchise has one of the biggest falldowns in history and I'm afraid it will never recover.

I'm sure there was something else, but I just don't remember anymore because it was most likely ruined as well to the point of no return.

I feel melancholic because it feels like I wasted myself on something that didn't appreciate me back. All my emotional investment wasn't payed off. I payed money for something that didn't deserve it in the end.

I'm afraid that my other favorite things might let me down as well. Though I will always appreciate what I love about those things as they were in the past, I will never be excited about something new and it makes me sad sometimes, because that time when I was emotionally invested was great thanks to people that I connected with thanks to those franchises, but these days we barely chat or don't chat at all and I miss that.

Always be on guard and keep in mind that content you love and enjoy belongs to corporations and is produced by other people and there might come a day when they do something irreversible to the thing you like. Try not to dwell on it too much and move on. Read fanfiction, look for fan art and join a community that concetrates on the good parts of your favorite thing. Find yourself a safe space. It helped me a lot.

if the requests are still up, can I have more big dog/werewolf! captain headcannons? :0

Yeah! I had zero inspiration for this till ISWM 2 dropped so big spoilers ahead!!!

............

After the truth about you being a werewolf comes out, you become less shy shifting between forms.

Ofc some of the doors don't accommodate your height, so you gotta crouch a lot but it’s no problem, especially since you can run on all fours if need be.

Mark made tons of modifications to your suit so it can adapt to both forms without tearing or breaking.

He always wants to sit in your lap and just pet your fluffy tail when things on the ship get stressful...or just bc he wants to.

CC, Gunther, and literally every other crewmember scold him for “distracting” you but they’re all just really jealous.

Though because you stayed a werewolf when the universe collapsed (as the stress of the whole situation with the warp core, Lady, and Old Mark overwhelmed you), you were unable to change back to human when it rebooted.

Not matter how much you focused or tried calming down...nothing worked.

You were stuck.

Even when travelling through wormholes and space-time continuums, this was the only constant.

The many Marks you encountered had a variety of..interesting reactions to seeing a werewolf in place of a human, but they all recognized you nonetheless.

Murdock/Murderiplier? Offers to let you feast on the victim's flesh if you so desired.

Romanceiplier? Is down bad for you regardless, saying "this changes nothing <3"

Camp Counselor Mark? Is frozen in place when you growl and scare everyone else away (hell, you even intimidate Heehoo when you meet him).

Camo Mark? Thinks you're a badass by tearing into the intruders with your claws and teeth.

Crying Mark? He doesn't care he just bawls into your fur before the scene glitches.

The only one who was genuinely surprised was Yancy (even though he's not a variant of Mark) but he recognizes your smile and now understands how you beat him in that fight.

In the end where Mark attacks you, you nearly attack him back--at this point being near-feral considering how long you stayed a werewolf. 

He thinks it’s all the more reason to go back and prevent your humanity from slipping, managing to rip the crystal out of your paw, wherein you howl in pain.

That awakens your humanity briefly, and you desperately try to reason with him, saying going back won’t fix anything.

After saving him from the wormhole, he screams that you’re a “stupid mutt” for stopping him, but after a moment..he realizes that he not only broke the universe, but he also broke you.

It hurts especially as you revert back to a feral mindset, and he slumps to the floor, thinking the [y/n] he knew was gone forever.

“I-I’m so sorry, Captain..you’re stuck like this all because...o-of me. I did this to you."

He’s ready to accept death but...instead you sit down, pulling him into your lap and cuddling with him--just like old times.

And he sobs, apologizing for everything and begging you to come back to him.

As the paradox resolves and you both wake up on the ship, your paw is healed and you could think clearly again.

Mark was worried when he saw you walk out of the cryopod...until you turn human again and smile, embracing him and drinking some coffee as you overlook the planet together.

“Honestly..it feels great being human again.” You sigh. “I think I’ll stay this way for a while.”

It's refreshing to read your impressions about that GK clip. I value your takes, I'm so done with DickBabs being pushed everywhere that maybe I'm paranoid at this point and just think "ok here we go again". I'm lacking some perspective hehe.

Your last point got me thinking that maybe Rocksteady is the safe option to give us new fresh material regarding Nightwing. The Arkham franchise is a big name. It inspired Insomniac's Spider Man and basically cemented the bases for modern SuperHero games. The constant comparison and backlash against GK is also proof of the important place the franchise has. I suppose whatever Rocksteady make will be profitable enough, at least to not get too much intervention from WB's executives.

If Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League turns out to be good, I can totally see some greedy executive there encouraging Rocksteady to make a direct AK sequel. I know they said in the past they didn't want to go back to the Arkham games but you never know.

If that happens one day, I hope they stand their ground, defend their creative choices and expand on them. It would be easy to retcon TimBabs from their universe and push DickBabs just to please the noisy fans. But it would be awesome if they just find the right writer and expand on how Tim and Babs became a couple and how they work together, and to create a new story for all this characters. A new story for Dick and also Jason. Under the Red Hood didn't happen in that universe but who cares. It means a new ground to build new stories. As you said, the problems here and there can be fixed, and they nailed the characterizations for the most part. So many posibilities!

You and me both! Just need to move on already and stop pushing it everywhere.

Perhaps Rocksteady is! My problem is that what mythos is there for them to adapt? A Nightwing solo project would be awesome, but i think i dont think itd be feasible at the time. I think DC/WB was dumb to drop Rocksteady games. I actually think the batman beyond theme'd game could have done really well!

A good idea would be to reboot the Arkham Games or continue it as a tie in to another game like they are with Suicide Squad.

Yeah i think Gotham Knights is a direct reaction to the Batfam push. those fans are really loud. It bothers me though because the Arkham Games were already successful and had a big following, an even bigger one than Batfam. But they chose Gotham Knights? I get it with suicide squad, but like we could have had Suicide Squad and a Batman Beyond type game. I think DC just does this to themselves. They clearly are listening to the wrong people.

I made my friend watch Leverage with me and we just finished season 5 last night. He asked something I haven't considered about the reboot - how are they going to explain Sophie coming back but not Nate when in the season finale Nate proposed and they left together? Now I'm worried they're going to break up Nate and Sophie. Any thoughts on how they'll explain Nate not being in the reboot?

BOY HOWDY have I ever got some thoughts on that. ALL OF THESE THOUGHTS HURT. The fact is there is no way this can go that will not hurt me in one way or another, and I’m just gonna have to accept that. That said, here are some options. . . . 1) This isn’t my own idea, but I saw somebody kind of jokingly suggest they write it as sort of a comedy of errors where Nate is still AROUND but constantly JUST misses being onscreen, and actually I kind of love it. Having loved both  Frasier and Columbo growing up (one of these aged much better than the other lol), I LOVE the trope of the character who’s talked about all the time but never seen. I don’t think they should ACTUALLY do this because it feels too irreverant to me, but then again, maybe I’m just In Too Deep and it’s actually exactly the right level of irreverant. Regardless, it’s fun to imagine all the different ways it could go. 2) Similar but less funny, I would honestly be okay with it if they just had a decent reason why Nate couldn’t be there for the entire season/series/whatever -- not that he and Sophie broke up, but just that he has something else to do. He’s on his boat incommunicado and doesn’t even know this is happening. He’s running Leverage Europe. He’s in inpatient rehab. All totally plausible options that maintain the status quo, which is not a super dynamic way to handle it, but it is a solid possibility. 3) This next one is actually my FAVORITE idea, but it’s VERY ANGSTY and VERY SPECIFIC to the very particular type of angst that I love. In the Hannibal Lecter BOOKS, at the end of the first book Will Graham’s wife/girlfriend/partner/whatever breaks up with him while he’s in the hospital after being brutally attacked and horribly scarred. Then from then on, we never hear from him again except for ONE LINE in the next book that reveals how he is now bumming around in Florida drinking too much and fixing boats. It’s just such a horribly desolate way to abandon a main character, and my angsty crimebrain would LOVE for the same thing to happen to Nate. I don’t expect it to happen because on the surface it looks like it’s reversing his character arc, and that’s a horrible thing to do. But if you look a little closer? There’s a lot that goes unresolved. He never actually quits drinking, the crew just stops treating it as a serious problem. It’s kind of implied that he’s cut back such that it’s NOT a problem anymore, but it’s still pretty much constant and it’s GOING to get worse if anything changes for the worse. And speaking of things changing for the worse, Nate never actually resolves the question of what he will DO when he quits the crew. Sophie has directing and teaching; she’ll be fine. Nate has. . . . a boat. . . . and Sophie. A boat and a Sophie, while both great things, are NOT the makings of a productive life, especially for someone like Nate. He’s going to be bored out of his skull. And when he gets bored, he causes problems, mostly for himself. He’s going to either be extremely clingy and base his life around Sophie, which will be awful for her, or he’s going to just disappear on the boat without telling her for weeks at a time. And he is going to drink more. So I absolutely consider it plausible and in character for Nate to ruin what he has going at the end of Season Five, and wind up in Florida, fixing boats and drinking too much. And if it were me writing it, that’s what I’d do, and I’d even find a way to imply, without infringing on copyright, that Will Graham is his neighbor/drinking buddy/only friend.  4) You wanna know what I honestly think the writers are gonna do? I think they’re gonna kill him. And I think it’s gonna suck, but it’s gonna be the best possible option. There are so many things they can do with it. Sophie will obviously be the one to turn up for a visit out of the blue, to everyone’s excitement, only to burst all their bubbles when somebody asks “Where’s Nate?” Parker for sure will go on thinking that he’s faking for a heartbreakingly long time and then have a big moment where she accepts that he’s really dead. Eliot will take on the vengeance spree and have one of those conflicts where he has to decide whether to kill the guy responsible or whether doing so would undo everything he’s learned and worked for. Hardison has been playing snail-mail chess with Nate ever since he left and he will keep a half-finished game set up on the briefing room table for a very very long time until it gets knocked over somehow and then he has to really move on, and there’s a big moment where he resets the board and starts playing a new game with one of the new characters.

So Silver actually having a future is both a happy and sad event, at least how I see it

Don't get me wrong, silver deserves a future, a happy one. And while the writers can still pull a "haha SIKE.", If they don't immediately I think its still kinda sad because it pretty much proves

A few theories

While I haven't gotten through all the archie comics, thanks to flash vs archie sonic, I've been made aware of the sonic being the embodiment of chaos

Or at least that being the theory

Well the sad thing is, Sonic is, and somehow always has been, "The Iblis Trigger."

What I think is being suggested here is that Silver only has a good future if sonic ceases to exist in the main timeline/ Dimension.

I mean Silver coincidentally having a good future the single moment sonic is yeeted into another dimension? Meaning at that moment he doesn't exist in the main timeline?

I don't think thats just random chance.

Someway or another, without Sonic, eggman would actually be stopped, whether by him giving up having no challenge by the lack of sonic, or someone else beating him. Most times sonic is there to keep someone else from stopping eggman, and most of the cast while still being quite capable, depend on sonic to handle eggman, or encourage others to leave it to sonic (aka blaze sonic rush)

This dependency and the fact sonic is more than happy to leave eggman alone until his next scheme (due to sonics carefree nature) just goes to leave the problem a continous one.

In fact this can be further hinted at by the existence of eggman nega

A descendant of Eggman who is still in conflict with possibly a long future descendant of Sonic (Silver)

In essence by existing as eggmans rival sonic and eggman have created multiple chain generations of conflict

Which pass on even 200 years down the line

Not only all that as evidence, but in almost every comic iteration sonic has always been connected to Silver's ruined future

Take sonic the comic for example (the ones with fleetway) even then Sonic evil chaos energy self was the cause of Silvers bad future.

Nega is constantly causing Silver problems as with trying to bring over another pseudo iblis (sonic rivals series ).

And Since Blaze is Negas rival and Nega is from the future too, It can be surmised that Mephiles, Silver, Blaze and eggman Nega all come from the same future

Somehow eggman Nega pursued Blaze when she was warped to the sol dimension, not sure how but he managed it

The main point though is that this "Good future." Is never gonna exist because sonic is inevitably gonna return from Blaze Dimension.

And the cycle will simply repeat as it always has.

The universe has technically already rebooted like twice already (if you consider Idw a new timeline).

And nothing really has changed.

Its kinda funny when you think about it because it means even though mephiles was lying so he could use Silver and Blaze he ended up being right.

Sonic is the cause of all the ruined futures

Not alone, of course eggman not existing would also solve the problem but,

The fact remains he is an integral part of keeping this conflict constant

Edit: Woah This Started Blowing up and I fixed the typos and repeats I didn't notice before. Kinda makes me wonder if i should try doing posts of my sonic theories from the olden days, and my current new ones.

Master and the Mute Kylo Ren x reader - Chapter Three

Chapter Two

YOUR POV

You awoke abruptly, sat straight up in bed. You could feel your clammy back as your shirt stuck to it, you shivered in disgust and wondered what could have caused you to wake up so suddenly. Could it have been Him? No, You could not think like that, you were on the same ship as him, decidedly close enough to hear your thoughts whether they were directed at you or not. Rubbing your eyes you looked at the clock and realised you had woken up a whole two hours before you usually had to in order to start getting ready for the day. You realised that you weren’t going to get back to sleep any time soon and so slowly rose from the bed, the soft sheets fell to your feet as you shuffled to your bathroom. There was a small tub and you thought that a bath was the way to go since you had all the time in the world and were sweaty and in desperate need of a deep, cleansing soak. A sigh left you as you leaned over and turned on the hot tap and felt the water temperature before putting the plug in the drain, the warm water already relaxing the muscles in your hand and you realised how tense your muscles were. 

You had been laying on a cold, smooth surface, your arms were tied above your head and your legs were spread and tied to the other side of the surface. You weren’t naked but may as well have been, you were in nothing but your underwear, all your scars were on show. You were vulnerable and exposed to your core, your body was shivering with cold and fear. You could sense a presence in the dark room with you but you could not recognise the figure in the shadows.

Another large sigh escaped your lips as you relived the beginning of the dream that had obviously shaken you deeply, but the beginning was all that had come back to you. You sauntered back into your general living quarters to find a change of clothes for after your bath, you knew you did not know when Kylo was due to turn up and you definitely did not want him to be able to see your scars. You dumped the pile of clothes far enough from the tub that they would remain dry for the duration of your time in the water, you turned to the mirror and scowled at yourself as you realised that there was a thin sheen of sweat on your forehead which some of your hair was sticking to. Grotesque. You thought as you tried to comb through the mattes in your hair with your fingers, obviously you were unsuccessful and with a huff you spun around and watched as the water level steadily rose. 

Your eyes darted around the room, desperately trying to find out who was occupying the room with you. Fear was coursing through your veins as you heard a rustle of fabric from behind your head. A gloved finger grazed your cheek and ran down your jaw to your neck, you gulped as you realised whoever this finger belonged to could see your scars and you desperately wished to be alone, it did not matter if you remained tied up, you just did not want to be seen. The body that the finger belonged to stepped out of the shadows and you almost stopped breathing completely. It was the handsome face of the master who’s head you kept invading. 

‘Now little girl, why are you invading my head with your mundane thoughts?’ he growled lowly. He was angry and you could see why, he was a highly esteemed member of the First Order, you were a useless mute. Of course your thoughts in his mind bothered him.

You could not speak and he knew this, but at this moment you could not even think to answer him. You had hoped that he would just send you away once he realised that you were going to be a constant annoyance to him as there seemed to be no way to get your voice out of his mind. You were scared of what he would do, you could feel his anger rolling off of him like a river bursting its banks and flooding the surrounding area.

You shook the image out of your head, you did not know for sure how Kylo felt about your voice in his mind and you could not make dangerous assumptions in case he heard them. You hoped beyond all hope that he could not see your dreams at night and the images you brought up, you wished to the stars that he would only be able to hear your thoughts. You felt extremely exposed as it is, there was no filter to your thoughts and he heard them all. There had never been anyone that was privy to any of your thoughts, after all you could not even communicate the ones that you wanted to share. Ren made you vulnerable and it made you uncomfortable, he was possibly the last person in the galaxy that you would want to hear your innermost thoughts. 

The bath was full and so you turned off the tap and stripped your clothes off chucking the dirty pile the opposite side of the bathroom from your clean clothes. Humming (well your version of a scratchy, throaty hum) you stepped into the bath and sunk into the water with great relief. One by one your muscles relaxed and turned to putty as you laid in the water, still and serene, recovering from the emotion of the dream you had just woken up from.

Kylo growled in anger above you as you could not think of a way to reply to him, you had no answers and could not see a way to diffuse the situation. 

‘Nothing to say huh?’ he smirked down at you. His hand closed around your neck and started to squeeze. You began to choke, the sound an awful guttural one, he laughed and withdrew his hand from you. Only to pull something out of his layers of robes, a knife. A large knife, with a jagged edge that you knew would be painful. 

He smirked evilly down at you as you gulped down the rising bile and closed your eyed in preparation for the cold metal to meet your warm and clammy skin. The tip of the blade danced down your neck and you felt yourself beginning to cry as a lump in your throat formed and tears pricked your eyes. 

Please don’t. You begged in your mind. I don’t know why you can hear me, I’m sorry, I-I-I can leave, please I’ll leave. 

He chuckled deeply, ‘No pet, you’re not leaving, you have already taken up too much of my mental capacity, you need to be disposed of before you manage to worm your way into anyone else’s brain.’

You sobbed as he pressed the blade firmer into your skin, it finally broke in the valley of your breasts, he pressed in deeper and deeper. Your gargled screams filled the room as your body was ripping apart with the jagged blade that was piercing you.

You dunked your head under the water to erase the painful images of your nightmare from your brain but they were seared into your memory. Why did you feel this way towards him? You had thought he was handsome, no matter how much you scolded yourself for thinking that and so far even though his presence did terrify you and his reputation should have sent you running, you did not feel that he was a major threat to you. Even though your vivid dream would contradict that thought you could not ignore the tiny but powerful part deep inside you which could not wait to see him. That tiny part also wondered how his skin felt against yours and you hated to entertain the thought but a larger part of you also wanted to find out those answers.

To distract you from your wondering mind and to rid your body of the rest of the residual stress from the night you reached over and grabbed the generic body and hair wash that was provided for all low level staff. The silky liquid was spilled onto your hands and you reached back to massage it into your scalp and run in through your hair. A low hum escaped your mouth and you submerged your head once again to wash the soap out of your hair. You quickly eyed the clock and you still had one hour before your usual waking time and so you decided to take your time with the rest of your bathing and really work out all of the stress that had built up in your limbs. Once you were done there was still half an hour left but the water was beginning to turn cold and so reluctantly you decided it was time to step out of the bath.

Your warm toes met cold tiles and you shivered before picking up a towel and drying yourself off before moving towards the pile of clean clothes that you had prepared before the bath. Once you were dressed you realised that there was still an hour before you were required to start working and with nothing more to do you made your small bed and sat on it. Twiddling your fingers was no use as you knew that your thoughts would inevitably turn back to him and you did not want him hearing anything so you hurriedly turned on your data pad so you could start planning your day, you may even swing by the cafeteria to grab some lunch for later as you currently had nothing edible laying around your living quarters that you could take with you.

With half an hour spent and half an hour left you realised that there was no use in waiting around, he was not coming to get you right now and you may as well get on with your day lest you wanted to bring forth the wrath of General Hux for not doing your job properly. You got up and headed to the cafeteria, slinging your bag over your shoulders as you went. 

The halls were not completely empty, you encountered the odd storm trooper here and there but they often did not bother you and you did not get in there way in return. When you made it to the cafeteria and saw that it was practically empty, you smiled and moved to pick up a flask of soup from the heated section, you paid for it with your employee card and then looked down to your data pad in order to start towards your first job of the day. Now you had fixed that strangely hard job, the ones that were next on your list were very simple, there was no problem solving involved. The problem had already been diagnosed and all you had to do was quietly go in and fix whatever was the matter.

The first job was replacing some loose screws in a control panel for a data analysis so that the keyboard no longer made a rattling noise. The second was to reboot some computers that had been crashing while important work was being done. These jobs flew by and you completed them with little to no interaction with anyone.

Then came job three of the day: there was an engineer working on the Command Shuttle, His ship, that was having issues with their computer systems and as their focus was ships and not computer motherboards you were sent to solve the issue. The computer with the issue was not one that was on the ship but the one that logged all of the engineers work and was where they ticked off checklists etc, so it was fairly important for safety reasons that this was remedied. You were grateful to find that the commander of the ship was nowhere to be found in the bay where his shuttle was kept. Unfortunately, you were not alone on this job, an engineer was stood with her arms crossed staring hatefully at the misbehaving piece of equipment. You walked into her line of sight and made a gesture asking her to move aside so you could have better access to the computer. She nodded curtly and stepped backwards, her arms remained crossed and her attitude was hostile despite her moving aside from you, you felt uncomfortable. 

Carefully you exposed the motherboard and could immediately see the issue and silently went about fixing it and replacing certain components.

‘Who are you, I’ve never seen you around here?’ she asked from behind you.  All you could do was turn your head to look at her and offer her a small smile, you wondered if there was any paper in your bag so that if she insisted on talking to you, you could try and talk to her in your own way. 

‘Well are you going to answer me?’ he tone was much more aggressive now and you could tell you had offended her by not offering her a proper response. 

You turned to her again and this time gave her an apologetic smile and shrugged a little before reaching into your bag. Before you could register what had happened you were being pushed into the ground as the engineers hands wrapped around your neck as she climbed on top of you. She brought your head up by my neck and slammed your head back into the ground. You groaned in pain as your vision became blurry as you tried to focus on her and why she was having such a violent response to you not being able to answer her. Of course you had seen people become hostile towards you because they could not understand you, but they were never this aggressive. A physical move was rarely made. You could feel tears prickling in your eyes and you tried your best to not let them fall, even though she heard your groans of physical pain, you were not going to show her anything else.

She removed one of her hands from the tight grip on your neck and brought it above her head. He open palm came swiftly onto your cheek and you could feel the sting spreading across your face as she lowered her head to yours.

‘You don’t think I’ve noticed you scuttling about? All alone, uncovering secrets for our enemy you SPY.’ she seethed at you. 

There was nothing you could do, you were pinned underneath her body weight, her grip on your neck getting increasingly tighter. Your airflow was being cut off and you were sure that your face was turning different colours at an alarming rate.

I’m not a spy. I am not a spy. I. Am. Not. A. Spy. You were screaming in your head but you knew all your efforts were futile as she could not hear you and you had no way of making her hear you. You couldn’t have responded even if you did have a working voice box but she did not seem to realise this and the fact that you only could have produced a strangled gargling noise only seemed to enrage her. 

Next she brought her hands into a fist above her head and she brought it down onto the same cheek. This time the force was enough to make your head whip to the side despite her other hand holding your throat in a vice grip. Black spots started to invade your vision as your body was starved of oxygen.

The familiar sounds of those heavy boots filled your ears just as the girls grip on your throat loosened, and you close your eyes and breathed with relief. Then your body was no longer pinned underneath hers and hers was thrown onto the wall with a loud bang which made you wince as your head was still throbbing from how it had been slammed on the floor seconds earlier. 

You could not open your eyes as your head throbbed and you gasped, desperately to get enough oxygen back into your lungs. Kylo was near you, you could feel his presence as he kneeled down to your level.

‘Open your eyes y/n’ his modulated voice commanded, you scrunched them together and then managed to open them, not without more pain running through your head. You locked your eyesight onto the place on his helmet that you were sure his eyes were peering at you from and gave a tiny nod. Yes I’ll be ok.

‘Hmmm’ he deliberated and then turned away from you as you slowly started to sit up. The room was silent as Kylo moved towards the engineer on the wall apart from her pathetic whimpers, you rubbed you neck trying to relieve the tension that had been rebuilt into your body. 

She was suspended a couple of feet off of the ground, her arms pinned to her sides, her back flush to the wall. There was no where left to go for her and you feared what Kylo was going to do next, there was no telling what was going on underneath that mask and you were not sure if you even wanted to find out. He raised his arm to focus the force, suddenly she started spluttering and choking - he was force-choking her.

No this isn’t the way. You thought, hoping that he would listen. Please don’t hurt her. Another strangled wheeze escaped her pushing you to add another, please to the end of it.

A low familiar growl spread around the room, ‘She attacked you and here you are pleading with me to give her mercy?’ he seemed astounded at what was happening and that he even had to ask this question.

The engineers eyes moved frantically between you two, trying to figure out how you were communicating. Especially as you were not reeling in the pain that was expected when Kylo Ren invaded people's minds and sifted through their thoughts. 

Yes, listen please just stop this. This is not the first time someone has been hostile towards me, they don’t understand me or how to communicate me. I frustrate them, and with my .. appearance .. my scars. I look different, suspicious which means that people naturally distrust me.

You hoped that he would not notice your hesitation over your scars and appearance but you knew that you could only wish to be so lucky.

She just thought she was protecting a cause that she loves. That we all serve, I understand that the stakes are higher on such an important ship like this, with important people like you.

You stood and waited for his response, tension was growing as the engineer was changing colour similarly to how you were not too long ago. 

‘Fine.’ he moved closer to the girl and you held your breath. ‘She is not a fucking spy you stupid bitch. If I find out that you touch a single hair on her head again’ he steps even closer and his hand squeezes into a fist and she lets out another squeal, ‘you will not live to tell the tale.’ he warned.

With a sweep of his hand the girl was thrown against the another wall with such force that it left a dent. You did not have time to stop and check that she was ok as Kylo’s robes swept past you and he was already through the door and you realised that it was probably in your best interest to follow the man considering the promise he had made to find you today. That and you did not really have a lot of intension of staying in a room with your assailant. You found yourself jogging again after every couple of steps in order to keep up with his long legs and soon you found yourself in a part of the ship where you had never been before, a small drop of fear rippled through you but you had to bite back all your thoughts, you did not want to make him any angrier. 

There were noticeably more storm troopers lining these halls. They were protection, you were nearing His chambers. You kept your strides strong and tried to no contemplate why he was leading you here, you also began to second guess your choice to follow him as he had not looked over his shoulder or given you any verbal confirmation of your assumption.

Finally a large black door stood in front of you and Kylo leant over a screen and entered a code and the door slithered to the side and allowed the giant man to stride through. 

‘Come.’ he ordered and you realised that your feet had been glued to the floor, so you quickly came to your senses and shuffled in and the door closed swiftly behind you. As you walked into the room you noticed the matt black tiles which covered all walls in the room, the books scattered over a large desk that also had screens with complicated plans on it that you would never understand, the jet black silky sheets which were strewn over the bed and finally you landed on the man whose back was turned to you. As you had been scanning the room he had taken his helmet off and it was by his feet, his raven locks were exposed and all you wanted to do was reach out and touch them. However, you would not reach out and touch him as his wide and strong shoulders were moving up and down with deep and ragged breaths. He was angry and you weren’t about to poke the bear. 

The silence was deafening and for some reason all you could think about was how he saved you. Why did he save you? Why was he so angry? It was obvious to you that he had heard you screaming in your mind and had come to your rescue but why? You were just a useless mute, he was a master. Why would someone like Him help someone like you?

He spun around and his face was brought inches from yours, you could feel his warm breath fanning your face which sent shivers down your spine. 

‘You ask me why I’d save you?’ he asked lowly and dipped his head so that he could place a kiss under your ear, a sweet spot, which made you hum in pleasure. 

‘I saved you because you’re mine.’ he nipped at your ear and you inhaled sharply as pleasure bloomed from the spot where he his lips were now placed, hovering over your skin. ‘We have a bond that I cannot wait to explore pet.’ 

You felt cold as he removed his face from your neck, and looked up into his pots of honey for eyes and almost melted into him. His expression was one that you could not decipher but you could stare at his handsome face all day. He smirked down at you.

‘I can hear you.’ he taunted in a sing-song tone and you went beet red and looked down at your shoes in embarrassment.

He hooked a finger under your chin and tilted it so that you had to look at his smug expression. He leaned in and placed a chaste kiss on your lips. The moment his soft, plump lips met yours, you knew that you were in deep trouble as something stirred inside of you.

‘Stay here for the rest of the day, relax. I will come and take care of you later.’ he whispered and all you could do was look at him.

‘Answer me.’ he ordered while tilting his eyebrows, questioning your judgement on not replying to him.

Yes sir, you thought out loud as a smile kept on your lips. He smiled at your answer and leaned in again, this time the kiss was longer and more complex. Where your skin touched you could feel the nerves beginning to hum in excitement, it was not a battle of a kiss which pleasantly surprised you, it was a dance. A careful and passionate dance, so when he ran his tongue over your bottom lip you allowed him entrance and control of the kiss as he gently dominated you. A hand snaked to the back of your head and buried it in your hair, he tilted your head back which allowed him more access. You could feel yourself falling into his frame as his other hand held your cheek and then snaked down to your waist and pulled you into him, so his entire body enveloped yours. He slowed the kiss down and you almost whined in disappointment but knew better than to vocalise that feeling, he could probably already tell what you were feeling. He smiled into the kiss and then grabbed your lower lip between his teeth and tugged at it which made your eyes open in shock, only to be met with his deviant ones. 

He fully detached himself from you which you secretly hated, but it was no secret to him.

‘Clean up and get some rest pet.’ he murmured as he turned to retrieve his helmet from the floor.

He left the room without saying another word, leaving you dumbfounded in the middle of his massive chambers.

Here it is FINALLY aha. I’ve been grinding all day to try and rewrite it all, some parts I deliberately didn’t write because I now think they’ll fit better in the next installment. I think this is the longest part so far and I really hope you like it :) Thank you beautiful readers once again <3

How do Over The Air updates work in Vehicles?

To keep pace with evolving technology and address the need for constant improvement, automotive manufacturers have embraced over-the-air (OTA) updates as a transformative solution. Let's delve into how OTA updates work in vehicles and their significance in shaping the future of automotive connectivity.

Introduction to OTA Updates in Vehicles

Over-the-air updates in vehicles involve the remote deployment of software updates, patches, and enhancements to various onboard systems and components. Unlike traditional methods that require physical access or dealership visits, OTA updates enable manufacturers to deliver updates directly to vehicles via wireless communication channels, such as cellular networks or Wi-Fi.

The OTA Update Process

Initiation: OTA updates are typically initiated by the vehicle manufacturer or a designated service provider. Manufacturers develop update packages containing software patches, bug fixes, new features, or security enhancements.

Transmission: Once the update package is ready, it is transmitted to vehicles over the air via a wireless network connection. This transmission can occur when the vehicle is parked, idle, or during predefined off-peak hours to minimize disruption to the driver.

Download and Verification: Upon receiving the update package, the vehicle's onboard system begins the download process. The update package is then verified for authenticity and integrity to ensure that it has not been tampered with or compromised during transmission.

Installation: After successful verification, the update is installed on the vehicle's electronic control units (ECUs), infotainment systems, telematics modules, or other onboard components. During the installation process, the vehicle may undergo temporary downtime or require a reboot to apply the updates.

Validation and Feedback: Once the update is installed, the vehicle performs validation checks to ensure that the new software functions as intended and does not introduce any issues or compatibility problems. Users may also receive feedback prompts or notifications indicating that the update was successful.

Conclusion: Shaping the Future of Automotive Connectivity

Over-the-air updates represent a significant advancement in automotive technology, revolutionizing the way vehicles receive software updates and improvements. By enabling remote deployment of updates, OTA technology enhances reliability, safety, and user experience while reducing costs and streamlining operations for manufacturers. As automotive connectivity continues to evolve, OTA updates will play a central role in shaping the future of automotive connectivity, ensuring that vehicles remain technologically relevant, secure, and efficient in an ever-changing landscape.
