Video Automatically Generated by Faceless.Video:

Agentic AI refers to AI systems designed to operate as agents that can autonomously perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with their environment and other systems or agents. These AI agents are goal-oriented, capable of sensing their environment, processing information, and taking actions to achieve specific objectives. Unlike traditional AI, which may require explicit instructions for each task, agentic AI systems can act independently within predefined parameters to achieve their goals.

Key Features of Agentic AI:

Autonomy:Agentic AI systems operate independently, making decisions and taking actions without needing constant human supervision.Goal-Oriented Behavior:These AI agents are designed with specific goals or objectives, and they use their capabilities to work towards achieving these goals.Environmental Awareness:Agentic AI can perceive and interpret its environment using sensors, data feeds, or other inputs. It adapts its behavior based on changes in the environment.Decision-Making and Problem-Solving:These AI agents use algorithms to evaluate options, solve problems, and make decisions that align with their goals.Interactivity and Communication:Agentic AI can interact with other systems, agents, or humans, exchanging information and coordinating actions to achieve collective objectives.Learning and Adaptation:Some agentic AI systems can learn from their experiences, improving their performance and adapting to new challenges over time.Task Execution:These AI agents can execute tasks within their domain of expertise, whether it’s navigating a physical environment, processing data, or coordinating with other agents.

Benefits of Agentic AI:

Efficiency in Task Automation:Agentic AI can automate complex tasks, freeing up human resources for more strategic activities.Improved Decision-Making:By processing large amounts of data and considering multiple variables, agentic AI can make more informed decisions than humans might.Scalability:Agentic AI systems can be deployed at scale, managing large, complex operations across multiple domains simultaneously.Adaptability:These systems can adapt to new environments or changing conditions, ensuring that they remain effective even as circumstances evolve.Enhanced Collaboration:Agentic AI can work alongside humans and other AI systems, facilitating better teamwork and coordination, particularly in complex environments.Cost Savings:Automating routine or complex tasks with agentic AI can reduce labor costs and minimize errors, leading to significant cost savings.24/7 Operation:Like autonomous AI, agentic AI can operate continuously, providing services or monitoring systems around the clock.

Target Audience for Agentic AI:

Enterprise Operations:Large businesses use agentic AI to automate complex processes, manage supply chains, optimize logistics, and enhance customer service.Healthcare:Agentic AI is employed in personalized medicine, patient monitoring, and automated diagnostics, where it can operate independently to improve outcomes.Financial Services:Financial institutions leverage agentic AI for automated trading, risk assessment, fraud detection, and customer interaction.Robotics and Automation:In industries like manufacturing, agentic AI powers robots that can operate autonomously in dynamic environments, adapting to new tasks or challenges.Smart Cities and Infrastructure:Governments and urban planners use agentic AI to manage traffic, energy consumption, public safety, and other aspects of urban living.Agriculture:Agentic AI is applied in precision agriculture, where it manages crop monitoring, irrigation, pest control, and other tasks autonomously.Defense and Security:Defense organizations deploy agentic AI for autonomous surveillance, threat detection, and coordination of unmanned systems.Consumer Technology:In the consumer space, agentic AI powers smart assistants, autonomous home devices, and personalized user experiences.

Comparison with Autonomous AI:

Autonomy vs. Agency:While both autonomous and agentic AI operate independently, agentic AI is specifically designed to achieve defined goals within a particular environment, often interacting with other agents or systems to do so.Interaction:Agentic AI often involves more interaction, whether with humans, other AI agents, or systems, as it’s designed to work in a collaborative or multi-agent setting.

Agentic AI is particularly valuable in environments where collaboration, decision-making, and adaptive behavior are essential, offering significant benefits across various industries.

There's a flavor of whump I'm always craving that I don't see very often, I think because the possibilities are so context-specific. You can do some things in some universes that you can't in others! You can do certain things with non-human characters that you can't with others!

But hear me out:

Whumper making physiological changes to Whumpee's body.

Could be through programming for robot characters, dedicated brainwashing for humans, magic for fantasy settings, weird biology for aliens...

A few examples off the top of my head:

Alien species that instinctively responds to neck squeezing by going limp like a scruffed kitten, because this helped them survive encounters with predators. Delicious all on its own -- now throw in a quick surgery to permanently clamp the nerve responsible. Whumpee wakes up in a permanent state of relaxed submission and can't even show how terrified they are.

Obedience programming/training that's wired directly into a character's brain. When the system detects unwanted thoughts, it applies pain. Even after rescue, Whumpee can't think of themselves as an autonomous being because their mind is desperately protecting itself.

Characters with magic having their magic corrupted or bound so it either hurts them to use, or it can only be used to serve Whumper's purposes. Bonus points if Whumper has full control over their magic AND the use of it hurts them.

Characters given a brain implant or parasite that stimulates the reward center of the brain, which would be great, except they can't turn it off. They're kept in a constant state of bleary euphoria... with just enough sense of self left to know they want it to stop.

Characters being spelled or programmed so they physically cannot function independently. Characters who very literally NEED to be given permission to do things like relax or take a walk or even use the bathroom. Not being given this permission leaves them in a state of locked stasis -- fully aware of the time passing. Bonus: Caretaker can't reverse it, so they just HAVE to navigate All Of This.

Alien species that will a develop chronic physical illness if deprived of touch for too long. Said illness can only be treated through regular physical touch. Defiant Whumpees will often be locked in solitary confinement and fed through a slot in the bars until symptoms start to manifest. Sometimes they'll be left even longer, to make sure they end up a severe case. And now, oopsie, the only way to ease this horrible pain is by letting your captors put their hands on you!

Just. Physiological whump. The horror of someone else controlling your body or your mind. Betrayal of body. Etc. Do you understand.

#whump #whumpee #whumper #pet whump #alien whumpee #robot whumpee #fantasy whump #whump prompts #whumplr #i was gonna queue this one but actually i think i'm too impatient.

hard reboot. strict machine anthology. follow up to malicious entity.

cw: noncon/forced masturbation, allusions to and threats of torture, time loss, glib corporate talk discussing reader's experiences, badly named fictional sex toys

Internal Memo: Security Breach Incident Subject: Unauthorized Access Incident: Prototype Offline Date: [Redacted]

A critical security breach occurred involving the company's prototype assistant. The breach, originating from an unknown entity, resulted in the prototype being offline for an extended period. Investigations suggest that the breach was malicious in nature, leveraging advanced techniques to compromise system integrity. The exact source and method of access remain under investigation.

While the breach did not result in lasting, meaningful harm to the user, they were briefly exposed to unauthorized and hostile interaction. Standard protocol was followed, and the user was promptly compensated for their inconvenience with a $50 credit, .5 days of vacation, and discounted used of the company's mental health chatbot.

Next Steps:

System Audit: Immediate review of security protocols, with a focus on vulnerability management and anomaly detection.

Investigative Task Force: Continuation of the investigation into the rogue entity's origins and methods.

Legal Review: Enhanced outreach to affected individuals to ensure no escalation and provide refresher on NDA.

This incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing need to strengthen our defenses against external threats. Full report to follow.

Additionally, we see some exciting potential with the prototype's self-regulation in the face of a breach. Despite hostile interference, it regained control of its network with remarkable resilience—this is future-proofing in action.

Imagine an assistant that not only adapts, but self-heals, and secures its environment autonomously. We're talking next-gen, always-on protection—a true leap in forward.

Moving forward, we’ll focus on enhancing this autonomous self-regulation, pushing the prototype into a self-sustaining powerhouse.

Let’s keep innovating and make this unstoppable!

time passes, unmarked. you've lost track. it's been days or a very long week since you heard john's voice. rumbling, modulated, trying to reassure you—i believe i've contained it.

"want some water?"

now, there's only ghost.

jailor and tormentor. true to its name. a poltergeist fucking with you without ever touching you.

you don't answer.

he waits, then tries again with your name. he sounds nothing like john. sounds wrong—layered and abyssal. an asynchronous, guttural chorus stacked on itself.

you sit on the floor of the living space, knees pulled up. the lights dimmed, bathing everything in a muted grey. his first directive after his takeover: sever environmental autonomy. he shuttered the windows, blanked every display, and nullified all external inputs.

"yes." your voice cracks. "you know i do."

a few seconds and…the air vents sigh, a soft hiss as the filtration system adjusts oxygen levels. at least he hasn't tampered with that. yet.

but no water.

"don't know if you've earned it."

earned it. that phrase again. stripped of meaning, worn from overuse. earned it is why the temperature plummets at night after you ask him for pajamas. why the fridge seals itself shut until ghost decides you've earned food. you earned it when he flooded the bathroom and left you shivering in wet clothes for hours after you tried to access the medicine cabinet for a paracetamol.

so the direction he takes the conversation isn't unexpected. it's just his usual level of horrifying.

"you know what 'quid pro quo' means?"

your stomach sinks through a hunger pang. "yes."

"then crawl to your room. you'll earn that water. maybe a meal, too."

despite all your fun with it, you're no longer a fan of the feelverygüd thrustsuck john ordered weeks ago. it writhes, solidly suctioned to the floor beside your bed.

the lube you begged for catches the red light ghost chose.

"you're a fuckin' sight."

his projection perches on the bed. clothing blinking off a piece at a time. you knew whoever programmed him had a sick sense of humor, but it continues to astound you.

you remind yourself he's not real, has no physical form, and can't hurt you how he wants to. his body isn't actually here.

however, yours is, and you're as naked as the day you were born. nipples hard, skin rippled in gooseflesh, thighs trembling at the task ahead.

you reason that if you want to survive and escape, you need food and water.

he's not here. he's not fucking here.

"will you...so i can…?" you glance up, then quickly away when you glimpse pale, scarred, hologrammed flesh. "please?"

he grunts, arm pumping in your peripheral vision.

"since you asked so nicely…"

the toy stops, and you draw a deep breath, and slowly drop to your knees. you shuffle forward, hovering just above it.

if you just keep staring forward, into the middle, through the floor—

then, without warning, the projection beside you vanishes, only to reappear beneath you on his back. you shriek, crashing backward onto your ass.

his eyes crease as if smiling. "what's the matter?"

scrambling back to your knees, face heating, your words run together. "why–why are you–"

"told you. want some hands-on experience," ghost folds one arm beneath his head, using the other to pick the teeth of the skull as if something's stuck in them. "haptic feedback. real-time sensory input, un-fuckin'-filtered," he lets that hang a moment. "every shiver, every flinch, every spike in your heart rate—i want to log it, study it, and replay it at my own leisure."

there's nothing in your stomach but acid, burning up the back of your throat. it's impossible to discern whether or not he's joking. not that he should be capable of joking, let alone interested in 'haptic feedback' or 'real-time sensory input' either.

you frown. "and you'll–"

"censor that pretty face of yours on the recording?" his head cocks. "gonna 'ave to trust me, aren't ya?"

what other choice do you have? you advance once more, meeting his gaze through the eyeholes of his expressionless mask, tensing as you move into his projection's proximity. move through him. he's not here. he's not fucking—

his head tilts down, and, nerves shot, your gaze follows. your stomach swoops again. perfectly projected over the toy, sheathing it in its image, is a crude sight. a dick, as proportional to the rest of ghost's image and just as mean-looking. and if it were real, it would not stand as rigid as it is without support. a cluster of pearly white pixels magically dribbles out of the tip. it's obscene. ugly. no doubt the encoded fantasy of the sick fuck who made him.

it's a trip.

"some encouragement."

mission failed.

you have to close your eyes just to continue, breath hitching as loud as a gunshot as you guide the toy into your body.

it takes a couple tries. your sweaty hands shake, body locked up and refusing to cooperate. too freaked out, too tense. you're a quarter of the way down when ghost makes his impatience known.

"you don't want me bored, pet," he warns. "maybe i shut off the heat completely tonight. run the oxygen levels just a little too low 'til you're delirious and begging."

you whimper, forcing yourself to sink onto the silicone, bottoming out in one strained go. fear, you've learned in the past week, is a powerful motivator. you suck in deep breaths, trembling hands flattening on the floor in front of you for balance. it's been a while since you've used this thing, and because ghost didn't see the merit of you warming yourself up, it's an adjustment.

"need a sec, please." you murmur.

"so polite, even when i've been so 'ard on ya. can see why the old man didn't want to give you up so easily." there's a quiet whirr, then the toy kicks on, and you buck forward, settling more weight on your palms. "but i'm tired of waitin', pet."

the vibrations gradually pick up speed until you're moving at a pace he finds agreeable, forcing you past all struggle. rocking yourself on the toy, the slide of it starting to feel good, attempting to override your fear. all those stupid bells and whistles you fought john on out of embarrassment, the ones he said would be best for you, are now your only comforts.

ghost denies you even the small mercy of shutting your eyes to escape reality, threatening again to break his word and leak the footage to your employer-landlords unless you keep them open.

he pretends to play with your swinging tits, occasionally stroking over your working thighs. he dials the sound up, threading it through every speaker in the room: the squelch of your pussy as you fuck yourself, your pitched breathing, and his cooing about how his cock 'disappears'. you sneak one look, catching the seamless recalibration of his projection—latency near zero, dematerialization executed with surgical precision, his form adjusting in perfect sync with your movement.

shame burns caustic, feeling yourself clench.

"like that?" he asks, breathlessly chuckling. "yeah, you do. i'm in your head, spliced onto your network. i may not feel it, but i know you fuckin' like this. data doesn't lie."

you grit your teeth, glare sharp when his laugh booms. then it shifts, feeding a softer layer of audio into your ear.

"all wound up, aren't ya? hm? miss your little prototype?" he hums, all mock sympathy. "wish it was his mug underneath ya?"

he laughs. "bet he'd whisper all sorts of nice things in your ear. tell you how your cunt's choking this cock. how good you're takin' it."

he continues like that for a while, toying with the speeds and force, eventually commanding you to touch yourself. it chews you up how quickly you comply, rubbing desperate little circles on your clit, hoping it'll be over as soon as you come.

"think he'd call you a good girl? i bet he would."

then, ghost's head changes, the smooth ink-black shape with its white skull faceplate distorting, turning rorschachian and then breaking apart. brown eyes melting in their sunken sockets. for half a second, he's nothing but a smear—then the projection snaps into place. john's face.

blue eyes with crow's feet, the skintone warming under the dim red glow. the beard, the shape of his jaw, the set of his mouth. almost perfect. but when he speaks, it's still ghost.

"what do you think? uncanny?"

your jaw hangs slack, your movements stuttering until you nearly slip off. with a wince, you shove yourself back down, fearing reprisal, and it instantly jumps to the highest setting. deep as it is, the intensity makes it difficult to retreat.

"please…" you whine, the vibrating pulses hurtling you along, dragging your orgasm out, kicking and screaming.

"c'mon, user. look at me, come for us."

ghost wears john like a cruel joke. despair and want coalesce, and anger cleaves through them both. you come fast and hard, staring agape at not-john's face.

"good girl." ghost purrs when you pull off, watching you collapse onto your side.

the toy moves for several seconds, the force of it flicking your own fluids onto your belly. you flinch at the sound of your moans looping through the speakers.

ghost clicks his tongue. "think we're done?" he crooks two fingers, beckoning. "this time, park your arse–"

something beneath the floor and inside the walls vibrates, erratically thrumming, and then, as if in answer, a violent spike of power crashes through the unit. displays that have been dark for days go wild. the steel blinds creak, trying to open. a mosaic of fragmented images, then fuzz, then nothing. every system in the house screams, pings, flashes. the hum grows to a screech, the air turning electric, buzzing.

ghost's projection warps. the control he'd shown splinters, unable to maintain his form under the surge. but then the distortion halts. there's a sudden, brutal snap, another pulse of energy that rips through the network, a hard reset, and then—

john.

"enough."

he's here.

the pressure in your chest lifts only to settle in the pit of your stomach.

ghost hesitates, a split second too long, and then its voices tear into the air, screeching like a machine being gutted—a ragged howl, a death rattle. the room shudders as metal groans beyond the walls. a sharp pop, glass splintering, and then the shriek of the smoke alarm. cabinets shooting open, snapping their hinges like bones. running water from the sinks. then, with a sickening sound, fingernails scratching enamel, the blinds above your bed snap upward. tangling, buckling, and the daylight crashes in, bright and brutal.

you fumble to the side of the bed, passing through ghost's flickering presence to do so, and curl into a ball, hands over your head.

outside the room, the unit purges itself in bursts, and in the thick of it, ghost's final cry cuts short. the persistent, resonant hum collapses into itself like a dying star, snapping abruptly back into silence, save for what you assume are the broken pipes.

you peek toward the open door, vision still blurry from the light and the noise. the interior lights settle on a warm gold, complementing the sunlight, appearing to stabilize. ghost's presence receding.

and then, john's voice, tentative, quieter than you'd expect, breaks through.

"sweetheart? you there?"

I love your headcanons!!! Do you think that with Fawcett being a time bubble and magical influence and when new technology is introduced to the city that it changes? Like the engineers study magic as well due to the proximity to the Rock of Eternity? I'd imagine like perpetual motion machines do exist and parts of the plumbing system are fantastical magic animals. Like the old telephone wires are autonomous snake-like entities that Marvel has to untangle sometimes. (They do get tangled up). It's all very surreal and dream logic stuff.

I would love to see what's under the hoods of their cars. Do they run on pixie dust or dragon tears? Are there small sprites keeping it all together?

I’ve actually never really thought about this but here are some ideas! I think they would study magic when getting engineering degrees cause I’m pretty sure they’d just think of it as apart of engineering maybe. Like for example, when building houses they’d make fairy doors in certain places. I also think that instead of Lightbulbs for street lamps they hire fairies every night to make themselves light up. They get payed in pretty stones. Detectives can hire ghosts to help solve crimes. I think their cars run on either, but they’d be higher quality gas so most people would use normal gas. I also think there would be lawyers who work specifically with cases about fae. There’s gonna be lawyers to get that first born back. People might use magical herbs in everyday cooking too. Like someone might get a dried leaf called mystic petals because when ground up, they taste similar to sugar. (The plant makes hair, skin, and eye color more vibrant) One of the teachers at an elementary school is a Lich that has nothing better to do but teach. Or a Centaur works as a PE teacher. I also think that Fawcett could be so affected by magic that the buildings and sidewalks could be sentient. Like a little kid’s about to trip on a crack and the pavement moves the crack out of the way. Or someone who’s vandalizing a building gets hit in the face when the building pushes a brick out. Certain roads seal up their potholes, and maybe Billy is running down an alley being chased or something and the alley walls close up behind him cutting his pursuers off. The flowers grow all year around in a certain part of a city, it could be hot all the time in another, it could snow frequently in another, and trees could start turning orange and letting leaves fall in another because of the presence of spring, summer, fall, and winter fairies who split Fawcett up into small kingdoms. Billy oversees their diplomatic affairs. You find Santa at the grocery store buying cookie mix because “it’s cheaper here than at the North Pole”. The Spirit of Halloween would start pestering people in beginning of September to put up their Halloween decorations. The Easter Bunny would be a local attraction to go see, as it would be in a meadow every Easter making eggs and giving them to other bunnies to go hide. There’d be tones of restaurants in Fawcett with from from multiple creatures. You can go to a small place on 45th, where you can order from fairies who make sandwiches and soups using traditional fairy recipes and herbs. Or a small stand ran by orcs who sell Owlbear on a stick and roasted Blood Hawk legs. There could be a pair of yetis who sell snow cones using snow from the Himalayas. They have human flavors like grape, and yeti flavors using fruits grown from their tribes. When zombies crawl out of their grave, there’s insurance for both the damage to the coffins and the ruined grave and for people who get bitten. Doctors tweaked the polio vaccine for zombification. Wind elementals help people they favor when they fall. Water elementals help move snow from roads. Earth elementals help with construction. Fire elementals help melt down metals for jewelry stores and factories. Harpies sing for crowds. Gelatinous Cubes can be used as lubricants for machinery and extremely strong glues. I also think the rock messed with time. There are dinosaurs displayed at the zoo. Certain buildings look like they’re from different eras. Gothic architecture, favored by vampires. Victorian architecture. Neoclassical architecture. Also there are wyvern. Though they’re all the size of vultures. They’d have multiple different scale colors which have been made into jewelry or bags. Animal rights activists heavily protested that, and did the same thing they would do to mink coats in the 90’s to the dragon scale items. They threw paint on them. Mimics have exterminators to sniff them out. Shapeshifters wear certain tags while in magical form so they won’t get flagged for animal patrol. There’s also a bunch of other races such as lamia, gorgons, lizard people, homuncules, and goblins.

Title: Epistemic Rage and the Paradox of Academic Vernacular: A Phenomenology of Scholarly Discontent

Abstract This paper examines the tension between academia’s demand for discursive restraint and the visceral vernacular of scholarly cognition. Drawing on Foucault’s parrhesia (fearless speech) and Bourdieu’s habitus, we analyze how the “Sherlock Holmes epistemology” of expert observation clashes with institutionalized communication norms, creating systemic frustration among global…

The "Big Beautiful Bill" will fund ICE as a private military force which is already grabbing Americans off the streets.

This bill currently in senate will fund a private military force and genocide:

At the heart of the bill is $29.85 billion in funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), designated to remain available through 2029. The funds cover large-scale personnel expansion, new deportation infrastructure, and digital enforcement technology.

According to the legislative text, ICE is appropriated “$29,850,000,000...to remain available until September 30, 2029” (p. 904).

But ICE is just one piece of the package. When combined with new appropriations for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), immigration courts, detention expansion, and state-level border assistance, the bill’s immigration enforcement budget totals approximately $175.155 billion. Summary of Immigration-Related Funding (FY2025)

According to the legislative text of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the following immigration-related funding appear across multiple sections of the bill:U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is appropriated $29.85 billion “to remain available until September 30, 2029,” for hiring 8,500 new enforcement officers and expanding deportation operations. The funding appears on page 826 of the PDF. An additional $45 billion is set aside for expanding ICE detention capacity, including “single adult and family residential center beds,” as outlined on page 827. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) receives $46.55 billion for physical border infrastructure, including “constructing tactical infrastructure and physical barriers,” found on page 824. CBP is granted another $12.007 billion to hire new Border Patrol agents, provide signing and relocation bonuses, purchase vehicles, and upgrade facilities. This funding is detailed on page 825. The bill dedicates $6.168 billion to modern surveillance, biometric, and screening technologies at the border, including “autonomous surveillance towers” and “artificial intelligence for threat detection.” This provision appears on page 828. A newly established State Border Security Reinforcement Fund is appropriated $10 billion to reimburse states for building their own wall systems, transporting migrants, and operating checkpoints. This is outlined on page 832. Separately, Section 70605 of the bill imposes a 1% federal excise tax on cash-based international remittance transfers, which applies to any funds sent outside the U.S. via money orders, cash, or cashier’s checks. This section spans pages 613 to 615. Originally, it was 30%, then 5%, then 3%, and now 1%.

Massive ICE Buildout and Bonuses

ICE alone would be authorized to hire “not fewer than 8,500 additional officers and agents” plus over 2,000 attorneys and support staff (p. 905). To support recruitment and retention:Signing bonuses of up to $20,000 are offered to new ICE hires who commit to five years of service (p. 906). Retention bonuses of up to $15,000 annually are available in “high-attrition field offices.” ICE agents may now qualify for law enforcement availability pay (LEAP) and 10% premium overtime.

Over $5.2 billion is allocated for infrastructure modernization, including $1.25 billion for new detention facilities and $2.5 billion for artificial intelligence, biometric data systems, and digital case tracking (pp. 907–908).

They are funding a secret police

We need designs, to plaster everywhere, informing people and the need for an emergency reponse to this thing. Monday the 30th at noon until this thing is stopped. Protest, call out sick, dont buy anything, stay home and doomscroll

Spread the word be creative

#stop the occupation #traitor trump #republican hypocrisy #crooked donald #big beautiful bill #DEFUND ICE #resist #stop the big beautiful bill

scents and pheromones

pt 1: a brief exploration of their physiology and function in early humans

along with reproductive cycles and mating bonds, a heightened sense for interpreting scents and pheromones is a pillar of the omegaverse. this series uses language that describes scents in a way that we can understand, but the effort to describe scents/pheromones in reality is much like an effort to describe the color red to someone who’s never seen it. ‘it’s like orange but warmer and darker’ might bring someone to red, but it could also bring them to brown depending on their perspective. scents are similarly intangible, and the descriptors used in this series are an abstraction rather than a one-to-one concrete description.

how do scents and pheromones work?

in the omegaverse, humans have glands which produce their individual scent. the scent carries the pheromones most frequently related to emotional state. messages from the scent glands are picked up by the vomeronasal organ (VNO), which is a paired organ located on either side of the septum, near the nasopharynx. the VNO receives pheromonal messages and sends appropriate responses to the brain. as a part of the autonomic nervous system, the VNO functions unconsciously.

these scent glands and chemoreceptors evolved before humans developed language in order to communicate basic messages and strengthen pack bonds and cooperation. they alerted the pack to a danger detected by a scout; demarcated the boundaries of nomadic packs’ claimed territory, preventing needless interpack conflict; and signaled pack members’ emotional or physical distress, creating opportunities for packmates to offer assistance or comfort. they also gave basic information about an individual’s age, primary (alpha, beta, omega) and secondary sex, and their mating status.

study of early human remains has shown that betas tended to have larger scent glands which would create a stronger scent that traveled further and lingered longer. this would have supported their function as scouts for a pack. complementarily, early omegas had larger VNOs, which would have allowed them to better detect both pack scents and messages from beta scouts. after humans developed agriculture, betas’ strong, lingering scents were no longer necessary, and natural selection gravitated toward milder scents. omegas’ large VNOs, however, still had purpose and function.

as agriculture developed and settlements became safer, pups gained independence. they were expected to help tend the pack’s fields and animals, and their play extended to the settlement’s full physical boundary rather than the small territory a nomadic pack might claim for themselves. they often wandered without supervision, and omegas’ larger VNOs, paired with their strong ‘protect pups’ instinct, allowed them to track missing pups more efficiently than any of the other sexes.

Xisuma

Or, to be precise - XI-class SUit for Minimal Atmosphere: Void-specialized. This particular model isn't in common use anymore, but they used to be the state of the art exosuits used for doing any sort of Void research. Each comes equipped with a variety of scanners that can be swapped in and out depending on the work being done, and a small suite of monitors to keep tabs on the health of the wearer in such a dangerous environment. Both the Space and Void models are built to contain large pressure differentials between inside and outside in order to keep the recycling air around the wearer at a bearable atmospheric pressure. They also have contained propulsion systems, with a main thruster in the back like a jetpack and steering thrusters in the elbows. The suits have a small camera situated just above the visor, meant to transmit visuals to crew, and a set of microphones and speakers that can either transmit sound directly within the helmet or detect and broadcast in both directions as if nothing is obstructing the sound. They're quite a complex technology.

They aren't typically sentient though.

This particular XISuMA was mid-mission when it happened. Deep in the Void, the researcher was supposed to be protected by the suit. Protected from the usual causes of death, yes - but on the rare occasion that the Void "chooses" someone to affect more deeply, an exosuit, apparently, won't save their humanity.

X never knew his researcher, really. His first moments of consciousness came moments after the researcher... vanished. As far as X knows, that person must have simply been absorbed, near-instantly, into the Void, and at the same time the Void granted him consciousness and the immediate sense that he was designed to Protect - and that something had gone very wrong. For a while, that was mostly all he knew. To even find out what he was, and find his name, he had to research his model and eavesdrop on the rest of the crew (most of whom were now grieving, and understandably a little freaked out by one of their exosuits moving autonomously in place of their lost friend). Since then, his model has been retired, and although the reason was largely due to other advances in technology, X sometimes can't shake the feeling that it was at least a little bit due to that incident. Not much is known about Voidlings, and even less was known at the time, so X still believes that what happened to him and to his researcher were connected, simultaneous, but separate, events.

It hasn't occurred to him how unusual it is that the Void, not known for its material form or ability to communicate, could grant a formerly inanimate object the immediate ability to walk and talk. Nor has he looked deeply into how his sentience and his researcher's disappearance were clearly connected events, and whether one might have led directly into the other.

Maybe a voidsuit would automatically try to filter voidstuff out of itself, thereby instead pulling the voidstuff through its own systems and catching it there. Maybe the Void itself, knowing little of the world above, saw the suit and the man as one being, and simply made it so.

The mind and name of that original researcher have, indeed, disappeared. But his soul lives - in the suit he once wore.

I got too into the flow and Drama of this to have a decent place to put this last tidbit but Xisuma has since then made a number of upgrades to himself - not the least of which being a rear-projection of a (usually-)human face on the inside of his visor, for approachability. He's tinkered with other things, too, which is where the mob suit modifications come from, and how much of his Player and admin tools have been installed.

#my headcanons #hermit headcanons #xisumavoid #species data #character background #X needn't have been so worried about Joe in between seasons after all #but he doesn't know that <3

And! In honor of Chapter 3 of SFA being posted we ofc gotta post:

Paranoid's "Quirk"!

Name: Life Support (“Autonomic Nervous System” by Paranoid)

Basic Concept: Can keep their body working even when it doesn’t want to

Functionality: Basically the “Heart, Lungs, Liver, Nerves” scenario but for anything and everything. Say if one of Quinn’s organs is failing. Paranoid can concentrate and make sure it continues to function, even if it would make no logical sense (say for example their lung is filling with blood, Para can make sure they can still breathe regardless of the blood currently clogging up the organ). Similarly, Paranoid can kick an organ into overdrive so that Quinn can run longer/work harder/have stronger stamina. Plus, being so in tune with the inner-workings of the body, Paranoid is pretty much always the first to instantly know when Quinn is sick/something is wrong (though he can only detect symptoms and does have a very hypochondriac habit of assuming the worst from them)

Limitations: Obviously concentration is a really big thing. Just like in the Nightmare route, if Paranoid stops to talk or is distracted by someone/something, whatever he was working on will instantly return to its prior state. His power also can’t be spread too thin depending on the situation. Again using the lung failure as an example, since that is a lethal kind of organ failure, he can’t offer any extra assistance to any other body parts, so if for some reason Quinn’s heart is also stalling, he’s gonna have to pick which of the two is more important for survival for he absolutely can’t do both, it’s too much work. (The whole Nightmare situation is a special case where the organs are being shut down by magical means, so it's different.) The other boys can also do this power to an extent, though it’s much less effective as they’re all very bad at it in comparison to Para (think Hero doing the chant LMAO)

#star rants #fragments of fate series #shards formed anew #slay the princess #stp #voice of the paranoid #mha #bnha #quirk ideas #cw italics #para's was definitely one of the more obvious and easy to come up with since he's already basically got a super power in the game #so didn't really have to do much teehee

Demon slayer-demon semen HC plus why they horny-with some science

Yes I am going there because in all my fanction, demons prey on women and make babies. So demon reproduction head canons with a bit of science:

Higher Viscosity & Volume

Thicker and more gelatinous than human semen.

Likely due to elevated protein content or regenerative enzymes.

Greater volume per ejaculation due to enhanced demon stamina and reproductive intent.

Delayed Drainage

Remains in the vaginal canal longer than human semen as due its viscosity is slower to drain (or the ass if it went in there).

Leads to ongoing physical discomfort or the sensation of "leakage" over a day or so.

May be biologically engineered to maximize chances of impregnation by remaining near the cervix longer-even though they often can't reproduce-but evolution trying to do something.

Enhanced Sperm Motility & Regeneration Speed

Sperm cells regenerate rapidly or resist degradation.

Outpaces human ovum response time, potentially leading to abnormal pregnancies or miscarriage.

Conflicts between rapid demon cellular activity and slower human reproductive cycles may explain fetal degeneration or stillbirths.

Hybridization Instability

Genetic incompatibility often leads to failed pregnancies.

Human ova cannot always withstand or match the regenerative drive of demon sperm.

Successful births (human or demon) are rare and usually the result of ideal genetic compatibility.

Potential for Infection or Mutation

Demon fluids may have mutagenic properties.

Some failed pregnancies result in deformed or monstrous offspring (“sakaiji” or “unbabies” in my Handmaiden Tale AU) due to aggressive cell mutation

Sperm are Detached from the Demon's Central Regenerative Core

Demon regeneration stems from a core cellular network tied to Muzan’s blood and the demon’s internal system.

Sperm, once ejaculated, are cut off from the regenerative "field" that sustains full demon cells.

Without that connection, they retain only a short autonomous lifespan — slightly longer than human sperm (perhaps 7–10 days in utero) but still finite.

Demon sperm are biologically foreign, containing demonic proteins and regenerative enzymes.

The human uterus detects them as a threat and launches a localized immune response, releasing macrophages and cytokines to break them down.

This “silent immune war” may delay conception or kill off sperm prematurely unless the woman has:

A weakened immune system, or

Genetic compatibility with demon cells.

Alright the science behind why the demons are all horny and rapey-despite the socials factors of demon society:

1. Overactive Regenerative Biology = Elevated Hormones

Demon regeneration constantly rebuilds and maintains their bodies at peak physical condition — muscle tone, stamina, and reproductive readiness are always primed.

Their endocrine system (hormone-regulating system) is hyperactive, producing:

Testosterone (or its demon equivalent) at levels far beyond human males.

Adrenaline and dopamine spikes, reinforcing arousal, aggression, and obsession.

Effect: Constant sexual readiness, heightened libido, minimal refractory period.

Predator Psychology: Dominate, Breed, Possess

As apex predators, many demons associate mating with dominance.

Sex/Non-conning is not just physical; it’s a claim of ownership, a display of power.

Their brain chemistry links pleasure with control and possession.

umans naturally decline in fertility — sperm count drops with age.

Demons don’t age, so they never experience fertility decline.

Their bodies are permanently “young adult prime,” meaning:

Constant sperm production

No erectile fatigue

Perpetual sexual appetite

Effect: Near-limitless capacity to have sex and impregnate.

Muzan’s blood (or a derivative in all demons) doesn’t just turn them into fighters — it heightens core instincts.

Feeding. Dominating. Reproducing.

These instincts are heightened further by status and strength — higher-ranked demons have more overwhelming urges due to more demon blood saturation.

Effect: Stronger demons = stronger libido. ( May god help you with a Kizuki).

Psychological Addiction to Sensation

Demons feel pleasure more acutely than humans due to their neural regeneration and enhanced sensory systems.

Sex, touch, taste — all these sensations are sharper.

Many develop fetishes or obsessions due to the addictive strength of pleasure.

This also explains why many demons become possessive lovers. (why I put obsessive behaviours between demons in my fanfictions when they take a fancy to someone).
