#High-temperature material handling

[moderatetoaboveaverage]

"Boil water to turn fan" as if multistage steam turbine generators are not one of the sexiest kinds of machines every made

nuclear power is impressive until you get up to why. "we use the most precisely engineered machinery ever created to split atoms to release energy" oh yeah how come? "boil water to turn a fan" get the fuck out

| warnings. noncon, unprotected sex, squirting, perv!jeno, reader wears glasses.

the cold breeze bites your skin, tears gracefully streaming down your face, reaching your neck and disappearing into the material of your polo shirt. your lashes are wet and stick together as you blink, quietly sniffling, jeno's low moans reaching your ears.

perched over the bleachers, the dents of the metal stairs imprinted on your stomach as your shirt has slightly ridden up, he rocks his hips against your ass, hard cock pulsing in you.

you just wanted to get your bag back as you forgot it earlier in the evening when you went to watch the baseball game with your friends. your university ended up winning, and in the midst of all the cheers and screams, you left without your belongings.

jeno is part of the university baseball's team, and when you came back to the field, he was still there.

you've always known he had an interest in you, but you never reciprocated. maybe you should have—just to avoid this.

your panties sitting on top of your sneakers prevent you from moving too much, giving jeno the liberty to handle you how he desires. his hands hold your hips in place, your skirt flipped up over your ass and his sweats pulled down just enough to free his cock.

"i’ve always wanted you, you know…" he pants loudly as your glasses fog up, being as out of breath as he is. "such a shame that you never let me have this pussy before," he groans, slightly frustrated.

jeno has been waiting for quite a long time now. he never pushed you or went too far, just some attempts here and there, but you always had a negative answer for him.

jaemin once said you were a prude dressed like a slut. a stuck-up; a girl too obsessed by her studies and her image to allow guys to fuck her.

but you weren't too difficult to convince tonight. a little whiny, but oh so docile.

his mouth agape, he fucks his engorged cock into your soppy pussy, his hairy pelvis meeting the curve of your ass each time he bottoms out, making the flesh bounce.

the night is harsh, cooler than usual, the tips of his fingers becoming cold as the time passes. it contrasts vastly with the high temperature of your body.

you slowly turn your head to look over your shoulder, eyes inching up jeno's body, glancing at his hips moving back and forth and then his bare face, illuminated by the bright street lamps all around the field.

he licks his lips before locking eyes with you, but eye-contact is soon broken when a thrust rougher than the others makes you jerk forward, the end of the bench under you digging into the bare skin of your thighs. you gasp, scrunching your eyes shut and involuntary clenching around his girth.

your glasses slip down a little, sweat accumulating where the frame of the glasses sit on your nose. when you open your eyes, you see a foggy silhouette of jeno, your hot breath meeting the cold air of the night creating mist in your lenses.

"fuck," he chokes out, "i knew you'd be tight, but that much..." he chuckles, telling you his unholy thoughts about you. "you have the perfect pussy, i swear. so warm, and fucking wet... god," jeno comments—something you've never thought someone would tell you, even someone as perverted as him.

more endless minutes pass, stopping himself when he feels his orgasm building up in his stomach, going again when the feeling has disappeared—basically edging himself as long as he can.

but eventually his pace gets faster and faster, almost knocking the breath out of your lungs. you cry and whimper under him, the coil at the pit of your stomach ripping, cumming messily around jeno, droplets of clear liquid flooding out of your cunt.

"oh, shit-" he curses, moaning in sync with you as he keeps pounding you.

soon after, weeks worth of jeno's cum spurt in you, filling you up till it drips out of your pussy.

he pulls out and the quivers of your pussy make more of his creamy cum fall, running along your inner thigh.

"so fucking pretty," he exhales, admiring the mess he made of you.

Ok girls today I’m not feeling sane about Zayne and Caleb let’s fucking gooooo

MDNI

Imagine them catching you with a... special toy to feel good because he was busy and you were desperate :(

Tags: MDNI pls. just smut. Inappropriate usage of evol, inappropriate usage of weapons, pissed off Zayne, mean Caleb, edging for Zayne, some cnc towards the end for Caleb, temperature play, gun play, impact play, (Zayne is kinda ooc w that,) Caleb is scary, not proofread 🤪

a/n: this is my first smut so like yay? Ig? i have major brain worms for these men so here is my contribution to this fandom. i'm so obsessed with Colonel Caleb omg.

Visuals <3 • <3

Zayne walks in on you, cheeks flushed, legs spread, body shaking, heat radiating from every inch of your skin. Your eyes are closed focusing all your attention to that one spot. Slowly building up, ultimately making your walls spasm under the satisfying vibrations.

You have no idea he just walked in, too busy chasing your high, and he is now watching you; amused and jealous. How dare his warm tongue be replaced with a cold silicone toy. How dare it. He still watches you as you writhe and shake as you come undone, part of him a little turned on.

As you’re coming down from your high, eyes still closed, he speaks. His tone ice cold, in that deadpan monotone which sent shivers down your spine this time, as it was filled with barely contained…. Something.

“Well hello to you too” he says, not smiling. You are mortified. Oh, he’s pissed.

“Z— Zayne… I thought you were going to be busy today so I th—“

“Save your explanations for some other time.” He cuts you off. Oh, he’s pissed. And oh, it’s so hot. You wait for what he’s going to do next, and to your surprise, joy and terror, he’s taking off his shirt. He comes over to you, a fire in his eyes, a look of betrayal, and a hint of anger.

“You wouldn’t wait for me?” He said, again ice cold.

“No, it’s not th—“ you’re cut off by his large hand cupping your face, not so gently squeezing your cheeks together, rendering you unable to speak.

“I expected better from you, you know” he says his tone unchanged. His hand going to cup your jaw, putting a little pressure on your throat making you a little light headed.

“Since you like cold things between your legs so much,” he scoffs and materialises an icicle. Your skin is so hot you can almost hear it sizzle and the vast temperature difference makes you squeal and squirm. He rubs it between your slick, sticky folds making them wetter, the coldness of it in contrast to your body temperature short circuiting your brain.

You try to wriggle out, but then all of a sudden you feel ice cold restraints around your wrists, binding your arms to the headboard, and around the ankles spreading your legs out to expose you completely. So many juxtaposing sensations in your body making you shiver and burn up, it’s so confusing but you can’t help but enjoy it

Zayne runs his icy hands over your body, pinching and groping at your soft, plush skin. The grip around your neck tightens and you feel faint everything is blurry. He materializes an ice cube and runs it down your neck, to your chest, circling around your sensitive peaks, making you hiss and squirm.

He runs it down your stomach right between your legs, placing it directly where you need it he just keeps it there, making you squirm and cry but he does not care. This is your punishment.

You can feel yourself going numb, and you beg for forgiveness, but he doesn’t stop till he’s satisfied. He’s a doctor after all, he knows best. He knows the best way to punish you is to take away how you feel pleasure, even if it’s temporary.

He slides the icicle in you, watching it melt from your heat. Sadistic, vengeful. It’s too much to handle, you need to feel something, anything. desperately. With all the strength you can gather, you mumble out

“Hit me, please”

he raises an eyebrow, and a cruel smile plays in his lips. You didn’t know this side of him existed, and oh my goodness, was it hot.

“What did you say?” He says amused, wanting you to repeat yourself.

“Hit me Zayne. I’m serious I can’t feel anything, hit me”

He releases his hold on your neck, and you gasp for air. He traces a couple small circles on your cheek, before a hard smack lands on your cheek. The sting of it sends electricity through your body, and before you know it there’s another sting on your other cheek. Your face now going red, as he grips your face to look at him, the look on his face unreadable, his gaze burning holes through you.

You feel some sensation returning to your previously numb parts, and you can see him look increasingly more needy. With essentially the go-ahead to manhandle you, his large hands roam around your body, roughly playing with your chest, and he dips between your legs, deeply inhaling your scent before giving you a little lick making you shudder.

But your punishment is far from over. He takes the toy now discarded to the side and turns it back on.

“Isn’t this what you wanted hm?” He asks mockingly

“No, no I want you, I want you please, please” you say, no, beg. But you were the one who made this mistake, unfortunately. He ignores you, despite how desperately he wants to be in you, and places it between your legs, vibrating at the highest setting.

“And don’t you dare cum because of this thing” he warns, knowing full well it’s a battle you’d lose. And he’d enjoy watching you lose, looking at you with pitiful eyes, oh you helpless little creature, can’t help yourself can you, look at that, so pathetic.

He sits there, looking at you, using his evol to strap you in place so you can’t even squirm. It’s cold and it’s hard and it’s hard for you to not cum and he’s enjoying watching you struggle.

He keeps you there for god knows how long, drawing them out much to your disappointment and his amusement. The waterproof bedsheet is so soaked that liquid’s dripping down onto the floor and he’s showing no signs of stopping. You’re a crying, sobbing mess, you didn’t even know it was possible to cum this much and he hadn’t even entered you.

“Didn’t know there was such an easy replacement for me” he says mocking you as you cry even more. He’s enjoying this, what the hell, might as well give him more. You cry some more, beg some more, and ultimately he goes

“Aww, what’s the matter, love? You want me?” You nod in affirmative.

“Too bad, I just got a text, I’m needed at the hospital, urgently”

And he just leaves you there, restraints still on, and all you can do is just wait for them to melt away before you can move.

“I see I’m not enough to satisfy you, pipsqueak” you hear the voice. You turn your head to look at him, and to your horror, he’s standing there with the hot pink ahem, toy in his hand.

“Caleb! You weren’t supposed to find that!” Embarrassed, you rush to take it from him and he holds it above his head so it’s impossible for you to reach it.

“Caleb!” You muse. He’s unrelenting. In fact, he’s quite enjoying this.

“Mind explaining why?”

“I get lonely when you’re not there” you say pouting.

“Aww pipsqueak but I’m here now aren’t I? I don’t think you’ll be needing this thing for a while. Or… I can use this on you”

“You what” you ask now a little scared. You see a dark look flash across his features, a very extremely subtle shift in demeanour, that made him go from the golden retriever childhood best friend to the cold and cruel Farspace Colonel.

“Actually, no. I have a couple of my own toys I’d like to use on you” he says darkly, the sweet, kind Caleb gone, replaced by the authoritative, commanding officer.

“Sit” he commands. You freeze, and since you’re taking too long to obey he makes you sit using his evol. Your hands feel as if there’s a thousand pounds of weight on them and you can’t move. He returns with a bag, his bag. His… arsenal.

One by one he starts pulling out his guns.

And placing them on to the bed.

You look at him in horror, having put two and two together, and strangely, it was making you wet as hell.

“Caleb are you—“

“Put some damn respect to my name” he cuts you off coldly. Why was it so hot? Why was Farspace Colonel Caleb so fucking hot? He was demanding, he was possessive and he was mean. So mean. So. Fucking. Hot.

You were already feeling hot and bothered the moment that personality came out, where golden retriever Caleb made you feel safe, this Caleb turned you on so goddamn much, hell, he made you cum with his words alone this one time.

Your heart’s beating with anticipation as he finishes laying down all his weapons, shiny, cold, pristine.

“I suppose you get the idea what toys I was talking about, pipsqueak” the nickname now spoken in a condescending tone, his expression stern and resolute.

“Cal— Colonel” you said your voice shaky, you were curious but also scared.

“What’s the matter pipsqueak? Scared are you?” He says, a sly smirk on his face watching your scared expression.

“A little bit yes”

“It’ll be over before you know it.” It would not. There were five guns on the bed right now, and knowing him, he would make you cum on each and every one of them at least twice. And the knives? God, how would he even use them on you?

“It’s time I showed my little girl how to play with some real toys” he says darkly. Still having you bound to the bed with his evol, the sounds of the gun in his hand clicking as he emptied the magazine and unloaded it.

“I just cleaned them recently. Now I must bathe them in your essence. For luck, of course.”

He comes closer to you, you’re still sitting there unable to move. He kisses your neck trailing kisses down to your shoulders and collarbone. He has one of his knives in his hand, which he scrapes down your neck, to your shirt, the blade is so sharp it rips the straining fabric around your chest, freeing them from the confines of your shirt.

“Mmm…” he murmurs as he buries his face between your tits, inhaling your scent deeply, squeezing, biting, sucking, making you hiss.

He tosses the knife to the side and reaches for one of the formidable weapons. It’s so hard and thick, you don’t even know how you’ll take that but he spreads your legs for you, hiking up your skirt and rubbing the cold metal tip on your heat through the wet fabric, slowly, teasingly.

You quiver and moan, but he will continue going at his pace no matter what you do. You feel his fingers sliding the thin fabric of your underwear to the side, spreading your folds, now sticky with slick, and teases you with the cold tip yet again. He continues sliding the weapon up and down the soaking slit now, enjoying the way it collected in the grooves of the gun.

“You sure are wet for someone who was terrified a few minutes ago” he remarks looking at your face, flushed and dazed. He knows you’re in not position to speak right now, so he doesn’t give you a chance to either. And pushes the metal tip into your entrance, eliciting a gasp from you. He pushes it in deeper, until it’s all the way in til the base of the handle.

“Look at this hungry little thing, swallowing cold metal like it’s my cock” he scoffs. “So greedy”

You whine as he pulls it out, and gasp when he pushes it back in. As he starts pumping, your mind starts going hazy as he fucks you with his gun, the wet squelching sounds echoing in the room, it’s so fucking debauched and you can’t believe he’s doing this, and then suddenly he stops.

“Ride it” he commands

You obey, swaying your hips chasing your pleasure, riding a god damn gun that your childhood best friend— no, a Farspace Colonel was holding, whispering filthy things in your ear as you chased your high.

He had stopped using his evol on you long ago, this was getting too much for him, oh so fun for him. He grabbed the back of your neck and slammed you down on to your pillows, back arching, keeping your face pinned to the pillows as he continued his ruthless assault on you.

“So. Fucking. Greedy.” He said between slaps to your ass. Each one making you squeal and drip down the gun.

“Didn’t know my little pipsqueak was a freak like this” he said his tone flat and amused.

“Come on, cum for me like a good fucking girl” he says slapping your ass one more time, and as if on cue, you’re gushing around the not so cold metal.

“Fucking beautiful” he says as he pulls it out, a couple strings of slick connecting the weapon to you. He brings it up to his face and deeply inhales the scent before licking up your juices from the base to the tip all while making steaming eye contact with you. The sight damn well sent you near the edge again, it was so fucking hot.

“Hope you’re not too spent, pipsqueak. We have four more guns to go”

You nod, dazed.

“I’m not stopping even if you pass out, baby”

You nod again accepting it.

It was going to be a long night.

Understand PYROLISYS and stop your house from burning down!!

Pyrolisis: the chemical change that occurs in wood and other materials, lowering the material combustion point in response to repeated heating at even relatively low temperatures such as around 200F.

aka,

the chemical or thermal decomposition of a material when it is exposed to heat

THIS MEANS that if you repeatedly heat something up to pretty high temperatures - like, stuff that's stored near offering candles that repeatedly get hot to the touch -

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THOSE OBJECTS DEGRADES, AND LOWERS THE COMBUSTION POINT.

The chemical change of pyrolysis lowers the temperature at which a substance will catch fire. What may be surprising is that wood exposed to temperatures as low as 200 degF. can over time be changed such that its ignition point or combustion point is significantly lowered.

Repeated exposure to high temperatures changes the composition of things!!

Just because your mason jar candle holder didn't explode the first time a little fire got out of control, does not mean it will never explode.

It may explode the 5th, 10th, or 15th time you let a fire get out of control.

As things are repeatedly introduced to high temperatures they are not designed to handle, the little bits inside degrade.

When you burn candles or small fires, nothing in the vicinity should be getting hot. No figurines, no altar cloths, no curtains, no shelves, not the surface the fire-holder is sitting on.

If your candle holder is not fire-safe (which you should never use), never allow it to get hot. Maybe you have to put it in a bigger basin with water to dissipate heat, idk.

IF YOU ARE AWARE YOU ARE USING A CANDLE HOLDER OR FIRE BOWL THAT IS NOT FIRE SAFE (WHICH YOU SHOULD NEVER USE), ONLY USE IT IN A FIRE-SAFER AREA, LIKE IN A BATHTUB, OUTSIDE ON CONCRETE, OR IN A TALL METAL POT WITH A LID TO SUFFOCATE FLAMES. This is the same concept as assuming a gun is loaded and never pointing it at anyone.

You can use many random objects to contain fire that will not catch on fire or explode the first times you use them.

The problem is DOWN THE LINE, when you have exposed non-fire-safe materials to heat they were not designed to handle over and over again.

Definition & Explanation of Pyrolysis

[melanchoire]

reader who is a bit sick (nothing serious) so her sweet lovely girlfriend ningning has to take care of her but she didn’t expected to see her walking into the bedroom wearing a slutty nurse outfit, you thought you were hallucinating bc of the fever but you were wrong, there was her with a white thight dress where you can clearly see bc of material of the dress she was wearing red lingerie that matched her tights and heels, she told you that for you to feel better had to eat her pussy while she eats yours (and many other things you want to add) you end up exhausted not only bc your body was tired from sickness but bc ningning made sure you felt pleased and satisfied to rest a bit after an intense sex “medicine”

cw: cunnilingus, face sitting, fingering.

ningning taking every opportunity she has to turn it into something sexual 😭 the moment you told her you were feeling a little tired and thought you had a fever, she immediately made you lie down on the bed and rest while she went to the kitchen to prepare some tea according to her words, when in reality she was just looking for an excuse to go to the bathroom and prepare to carry out her plan

but you feel a different kind of high temperature make its presence felt in your body the moment ningning enters the room wearing the sluttiest nurse costume in her body and underneath that what appears to be a set of red lingerie…

although she can get into the role well and commit very well to her role despite the growing heat between her legs, unlike you who feel like you’re going to faint at any moment because your weak body isn’t able to handle your girlfriend like this! ningning is someone who often likes to try new things and explore various experiences and opportunities, but seeing her dressed like this wasn't something you expected today

she leans over your body to take your temperature but ends up pushing her tits against your face as she bends down to rest her hand on your forehead 😵‍💫 she knows that you’re somewhat ill and that the noticeable increase in your body was due to the intense rumbling that appeared on your face when your gaze unconsciously fell to her chest and you felt her tits practically begging you to look at them closely... obviously you were aware of your body’s reactions, but your head was so high in the clouds that you weren’t even paying attention to what ning was saying as she ran her hands over your face

i know she would say that the best way to “improve” your condition would be to give you a good fuck but every once in a while she steps out of the role play to make sure you’re okay and don’t be feeling bad :( she would be on top because she knows you are tired and if you try to be on top your body is probably working hard and you feel like your head is spinning, so she prefers to sit on your face and let you take your time pleasing her while she takes care of eating you out and playing with your pussy with “consideration” because she knows a hard orgasm would surely make your head hurt and she doesn't want you to have a bad time, so she is super patient and loving with you 💕 ningning never usually dominates because she is closer to being a submissive brat than a dominant, but she wants to make you feel good, so she has nothing to lose by putting in the effort, and it’s worth it! she liked it more than he should have and maybe she will keep that in mind for other times when she feels like teasing you a little

falling exhausted onto the bed after cumming next to her, with your body covered in a thin layer of sweat and your head about to explode from the headache you were having 😔 ningning would immediately lay down next to you and worry over you, asking if you needed anything and being quick to apologize if it was too much for you, but it wasn’t! it was just your body playing tricks on you and causing you to start feeling real cold symptoms at the worst possible time

ending up lying on ningning’s chest and sucking her tits 😵‍💫 she knows how much your body needs a break, and as much as she would love to have another round right now, she understands that you are not in a position to do so even though you tried to convince her that if when your body was screaming the opposite 😣 so understanding that you tell yourself to lie down and rest for a while, of course, offering you to do something relaxing like sucking her tits so you can use up the little energy your body had left and be able to fall asleep without tossing and turning in bed 🙄 of course you accept because your mind was very cloudy at that time and she will take care of you until you are healthy

Eris Vanserra x Rhysand’s Sister!Reader/OC

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊ ✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊ ✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊ ✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

“Remind me again why we are here?” Eris grumbled, signature frown plastered upon his unamused face.

“Because,” you enunciated, turning you attention to the babbling bundle secured in your Mate’s arms, his innocent eyes drinking up the frosty scenery around him in awe. “Just look at how happy he is!”

As if to further your argument, little Silas appeared squeal in agreement, his tiny legs kicking in glee as the High Lord carefully adjusted his hold on his delighted son- the boy’s excitable wriggling sending his already paranoid heart racing.

He thought he looked ridiculous.

Togged up in Winter attire- even though he could regulate his own temperature, you had insisted he don the furs of the Court you had travelled to as it would be “courteous”.

You thought he looked adorable.

His pale cheeks flushed, the rosiness only serving to bring attention to the delicate spattering of freckles across his tall nose- the fluffy material over his ears.

“My son looks absurd.”

“Our son looks absolutely darling!”

The boy in question too was swaddled, though instead in a mini snowsuit- little tufts of his red curls peeking from the soft fur that lined his puffy hood.

If he was squishable before, he was absolutely coddle worthy now.

His grabby hands were warm as ever, being unable to regulate his powers so young, the familiar heart emanating from his small body was a welcome comfort in Kallias’ court.

At first you were worried he was overheating, absolutely terrifying Eris one night when you shook him awake, frantic and near tears over the sleeping babe who was content as could be- his father’s curls wild with sleep and chubby cheeks flushed in innocent delight.

“Eris he’s burning up!” You were hanging off your groggy husband’s bicep in terror, watching his tired face meld into one of exasperation as you both were comically peering over the babe. “I-I think he has a fever- we must get the Healer-”

“My Love,” he let out, a tired smile on his wearied face, “it is normal for an Autumn babe. Ask my mother, it was the same for me as was with all of my brothers.”

“But-“

“Darling, he is fine,” he pressed a gentle kiss to your temple whilst securing his hand around your waist, his other moving to hover over the baby’s rosy cheeks, absorbing some of the heat so his little face became a complexion your heart could handle. “See?”

You sighed, your thumb coming to skin over the perfect cheek of your infant, not wanting to leave him.

“Can…Can we have him in our room?”

Eris sighed, unable to prevent a tender half smile gracing his features.

“I thought we agreed with the Healers that it was best for him to remain in his own chambers, hmmm?”

You huffed, pouting up at your husband with those twinkling violet eyes he had never once had the strength to deny.

“I am High Lady am I not? I can do as a like.” You stuck your nose in the air as Eris chuckled lowly, careful to not disturb the cooing babe who gently stirred in his cot, with an attitude he could only compare to your brother’s.

“If it will settle your ridiculous fears, My Star, I will bring him to our chambers.”

“You’re only saying that because you wish to go to back sleep.”

“Who am I to argue with my High Lady, hmm?”

That seemed like so long ago, the babe in question now able to babble in almost intelligible sentences and hold up the weight of his own head.

“Viviane and Kallias are our friends-“

“Your friends. Frankly, I would much rather-“

“High Lord. High Lady.” Eris was cut off by a warm voice- starkly opposed to his icy appearance. Kallias’ strong hand was mirthfully brought to Eris’, who shook it back with a mirroring fervour despite his earlier words.

You had to fight back a laugh, struggling to ignore the vexation he was hurtling down the bond.

Behave, you spoke into his mind, you should be grateful they invited such a grumpy Firehead as you into their home.

You didn’t have to look back at your husband to know he had rolled his eyes, adjusting Silas on his hip as he begrudgingly followed Kallias, an undeniable ghost of smile on his downturned lips as his son began cooing in awe at the glimmering structure they were entering.

“Dada!” He grinned, his little dimple pulling Eris from his mood, “brrrr!” A chubby finger pointed at the glacial carvings as he mimicked the noise you had been teaching him to help learn the seasons.

“Yes Silas, very clever. It is indeed cold.” Eris pressed a light kiss to Silas’ head, causing the babe to giggle, the noise a welcome salvation to the High Lord.

“Brrr!Brrr!”

“Precisely why I wanted to stay in Autumn…” Eris mumbled, agreeing with his son continued to note how freezing the temperature was.

“Brrr!”

At the sweet sound, you smiled back at the pair, pausing your conversation with Kallias to look upon your favourite boys, so alike in appearance it was sometimes scary.

“He wants you to say it,” you watched as the older male’s face contorted, perhaps finally understanding why his son kept repeating the noise. “He likes it when you copy him.”

“Brrr!” The boy said again, his wide eyes hopeful as he stared up at his father who, if anyone, could never deny his son.

“Yes Silas…Brrrr.” Eris relented, his voice notably dropping in volume as he made the noise, refusing to look you in the eye as you gave the other High Lord a wicked grin.

“You were not wrong High Lady,” Kallias smiled, “the High Lord of Autumn truly is powerless when it comes to his family.”

~

After a lengthy stroll around the grounds, you all joined Viviane in the drawing room. She squealed and brought you into a vivacious embrace, words tumbling from her mouth before you’d even had the chance to remove yourself from her iron grip.

“Oh I have missed you so! I have so much to tell you-“ it was then she let out a soft gasp, spotting Silas squirming in Eris’ arms. “Oh my! He has gotten so big!” She cried, moving to swoop him from Eris’ arms who you noticed was especially reluctant to hand him over.

You had noted that he had become increasingly territorial and protective over his son since his birth, at first thinking it was only because there had been a chance he was going to die, but even after Madja had saved him- you both, his worries had only grown.

You knew why.

Even if he never admitted it out loud. That despite everything- all his efforts to undo the suffering his father had caused, he still had many enemies.

Enemies that would love nothing more than to hurt him by taking away the things he loved most.

Silas frowned as he was transferred into the loud woman’s arms, his father’s infamous frown plastered ridiculously on his teeny tiny face.

Viviane attempted to make him smile, bouncing him on her hip and giving his little freckled cheek a gentle, cool peck.

“Do not mind him Vi,” you teased, finding your place in Eris’ free arms as he secured you against his chest immediately out of habit. “He has inherited more than just his looks from his father.”

And your words appeared to have a double meaning when your son’s grumpiness fell apart just as quickly as Viviane could coax it out of him with extra cuddles- just like The Lady of Autumn had assured you her own son had been a complete softie for at that age.

~

Eris payed little attention to the words Kallias was spewing- a proposed trade agreement that would be advantageous for both sides involved. He was far more focused on the glass of alcohol that was rather difficult to source in Autumn, hoping to be done sooner rather than later so he could spend some time with you and Silas without politics looming over his already troubled mind.

He took a small swig from his goblet, relaxing as the liquid warmed his throat, his slender hand coming to skim against his jaw as he read over the papers he had been presented with.

“You are lucky Eris,” Kallias spoke with honesty, causing the auburn haired male to look up at him and follow the other male’s eye-line to the grand window which displayed the winter gardens below where the two females and young boy were playing. “I remember a time where many High Lords- myself included, would have done anything for the Princess’ hand.”

Though a harmless comment, it made Eris’ blood boil. His possessiveness never once dwindling since the bond had first snapped for him all those centuries ago.

“I know.” Was all he replied, a smugness to his tone which complimented his signature smirk which did not fail to falter his façade. “I am a very lucky male indeed.”

“Years ago my wife told me she wished she possessed the kind of love you both do,” his tone was wistful as he watched his own mate with a biting fondness in his eye. “A passionate, suffocating kind of bond. One I was once afraid might melt a heart such as mine.”

“Careful, High Lord,” Eris’ smirk grew, “from experience, I must advise you. It is never wise to deny a lady’s desires.”

Kallias laughed, removing his gaze from Viviane who was making delicate snowflakes and sending them gently whirring against Silas’ button nose which had turned pink from the cold.

“We are trying for one ourselves…” Eris interpreted from his tone that it was a difficult subject, Fae pregnancies were rare and testing, even without the stresses of ruling a Court. “We can only hope they will be as much as a blessing as young Silas.”

It was Eris’ turn to become wistful then, focusing on his own Mate, even from afar catching the charming blush atop her fresh complexion as she twirled about the snow with their son.

Their son.

A phrase he had never thought he’d have the pleasure of saying.

“You are a steadfast man, Kallias. Your wife brings so much joy to my own I can only begin to imagine what a delight your offspring would bring her.”

Kallias knew that was as close as any compliment he could wrangle from the man, so clasped him on the shoulder with a heartfelt nod as Eris moved beside him, freshly signed papers left on the desk as they both stared at their entire worlds.

Eris knew, in that moment, watching as his son waddled across the pale terrain to his mother, who crouched down with awaiting arms, the expression he loved most written all over her breathtaking face, that there was nothing worth living for, if not them.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY! - myung jaehyun smau

𓂃۶ৎ SYNOPSIS : You’re a barista at a late-night café, and Jaehyun is your most annoying regular—flirty, sarcastic, and always changing your chalkboard menu. When a viral thread about “the hot guy who argues over almond milk” boosts the café’s popularity, the owner offers a “Fake Relationship Discount” to capitalize on the hype. You and Jaehyun are recruited to pretend you’re a couple online. Too bad it starts feeling a little too real...

CHAPTER 5 : myungnyanghakz meet & greet

The usual quiet hum of Tré Seoul had been obliterated by what could only be described as controlled chaos. Every table was occupied, the line stretched nearly to the door, and the air buzzed with anticipation thick enough to cut with a butter knife. Your regulars, the night owls, the insomniacs, the university students cramming for exams, had been replaced by an entirely different demographic : teenage girls clutching their phones like lifelines, college students who'd clearly never ordered anything stronger than a frappuccino, and influencer wannabes documenting their "aesthetic café experience" for their three followers.

"This is a fucking nightmare," you muttered under your breath, steam wand hissing as you worked through your fifteenth order in twenty minutes. Sweat beaded at your hairline despite the chill seeping through the windows.

Taesan appeared beside you, carrying a tray stacked precariously high with dirty mugs. His usually confident demeanor was slightly rattled, probably from the table of college girls who'd been "discreetly" photographing him for the past hour. "Did you know there are people camping outside? Actual camping chairs. One girl's been there since 4pm."

"Fantastic." You slammed the portafilter into the espresso machine with more force than necessary. "Riwoo better be getting hazard pay for dealing with the register." You glanced towards the front where Riwoo was handling orders with his characteristic gentle smile, seemingly unbothered by the fact that half his customers were more interested in his face than the menu. Someone had already started a Twitter thread about "the cute cashier with the soft voice."

Through the service window, you caught sight of Leehan restocking pastries, his usual serene expression replaced by something bordering on panic. A group of girls had migrated to that side of the café, phones trained on him as they whispered about his "ethereal visual" and "model proportions." The poor guy looked like he'd rather be wrestling a bear than navigating the crowd of customers who kept asking if he knew when "the YouTube boys" would arrive, or trying to get his Twitter handle.

The bell above the entrance chimed, and the café's energy shifted palpably. Conversations stuttered to a stop, phones materialized from pockets and purses, and you felt your stomach drop somewhere around your ankles.

Myungnyanghakz had arrived.

Woonhak entered first, his bright smile faltering slightly as dozens of phones turned in his direction. Sungho followed, attempting to maintain some semblance of normalcy as he scanned the packed interior. And then Jaehyun stepped through the doorway, and you swore the temperature in the room rose five degrees from the collective intake of breath.

He wore a black wool coat over dark jeans, his hair styled in that effortlessly tousled manner that probably took thirty minutes to achieve. His eyes swept the café before landing on you behind the counter, and that infuriating smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Well," he said, his voice carrying over the excited whispers, "looks like we've caused quite the stir."

The reaction was instantaneous. Phones shot up like a field of digital flowers, camera flashes sparked across the room, and the chatter erupted into a symphony of barely contained squeals. Someone near the window knocked over their chair in their haste to get a better angle.

"Oh, this is perfect," you groaned, turning back to the espresso machine as if focusing on steaming milk could somehow transport you to a different dimension.

"Excuse me, excuse me," Jaehyun's voice grew closer as he navigated through the crowd, accepting selfie requests with practiced ease. "Just trying to get to the counter, don't mind me."

You kept your back turned, hoping against hope that ignoring him might make him evaporate. No such luck.

"Well, if it isn't Seoul's most famous barista," he said, sliding up to the counter with that insufferable confidence. "Miss me?"

"Like a root canal," you replied without turning around, but you could practically hear his grin widening.

A particularly enthusiastic fan pressed closer to the counter, phone extended. "Oh my god, can you two recreate the scene from the vlog? The one where you're arguing about the latte art?"

"There was no arguing about latte art," you said flatly, finally turning around. "There was him being pretentious about foam patterns and me trying to do my job."

"See? This is the content we need," another voice chimed in from somewhere behind the wall of phones.

Jaehyun leaned against the counter, perfectly at ease despite being recorded from seventeen different angles. "Come on, don't be shy. Your public awaits."

"My public," you said, gesturing vaguely at the crowd, "can order a drink or leave."

The crowd tittered with laughter, eating up every word of the exchange. Someone in the back called out, "This is better than Netflix!"

Taesan appeared at your elbow, looking harried. "We're out of oat milk, the espresso machine is making that grinding noise again, and I think someone's livestreaming from table six."

"Of course they are," you sighed, turning to grab another bag of coffee beans from the top shelf. The step stool had been moved, probably by some customer trying to get the perfect overhead shot, and you stretched up on your toes, fingertips barely grazing the bag.

The ceramic floor, slick from spilled drinks and the constant traffic, chose that precise moment to become your enemy. Your foot slipped, balance deserting you as you pitched backward, arms windmilling uselessly.

Instead of meeting the unforgiving floor, you found yourself caught against something solid and warm. Strong arms wrapped around your waist, steadying you as your heart hammered against your ribs.

"Careful there," Jaehyun's voice was closer than it had any right to be, his breath warm against your ear. "Can't have Seoul's favorite barista taking tumble."

You were acutely aware of several things at once, the way his cologne mixed with the café's coffee-scented air, how his hands remained steady at your waist even after you'd regained your footing, and the fact that approximately fifty phones were currently documenting this moment for posterity.

"I'm fine," you said, though your voice came out smaller than intended. You turned in his arms, a mistake, because now you were facing him, could see the flecks of amber in his dark eyes, could count his ridiculously long eyelashes if you were so inclined.

"Are you?" His voice had lost its teasing edge, replaced by something softer, more genuine. "You've been running around like crazy since we got here."

The noise of the café seemed to fade into background static. The crowd, the cameras, the chaos, all of it blurred at the edges as Jaehyun's thumb traced a barely-there circle against your hip where his hand still rested.

"This is insane," you whispered, though whether you meant the crowd, the situation, or the way your pulse was currently attempting to break the sound barrier, you weren't entirely sure.

"Yeah," he agreed, his eyes flickering down to your lips for a split second before meeting your gaze again. "Completely insane."

Someone's phone flash went off particularly close to the counter, the harsh light snapping you both back to reality. You stepped back, immediately missing the warmth of his hands, and Jaehyun cleared his throat, running a hand through his hair.

"This is going straight to Twitter, isn't it?" you muttered, suddenly remembering the audience of phones.

"Oh, definitely," he replied with a laugh. "I give it ten minutes before we're trending. Though I have to say," he glanced around at your coworkers, "your staff is about to become Seoul's newest heartthrobs. Leehan's already got three fan accounts dedicated to him."

"Right," you said, voice slightly strangled. "Coffee. You probably want coffee."

"Actually," he said, that familiar smirk returning but gentler now, less sharp around the edges, "I was thinking of staying for a while. You know, to help manage the crowd."

You stared at him. "Help manage the crowd?"

"I do have some experience with this sort of thing." He gestured at the sea of phones still pointed in your direction. "Besides, someone needs to make sure you don't take any more unexpected flights."

Despite everything, you felt your lips twitch upwards. "Fine. But you're making your own drinks."

"Deal," he said, already moving around the counter. "But I'm warning you, my latte art puts yours to shame."

"We'll see about that," you replied, and pretended not to notice the way the crowd collectively lost their minds as Jaehyun rolled up his sleeves and reached for an apron.

The night was far from over, but as much as you’d hate to admit it, you found yourself almost looking forward to it.

...

Almost.

Imagine... ('the electricity is out, let's keep each other warm')

Bucky Barnes x Plus-size female reader

December Daze Challenge - Day 21 - @the-slumberparty

Warnings: (420w) Established relationship. Very tiny brief mention of anxious thoughts. Fluff. (Mostly implied) smut.

Imagine waking up to a cold bedroom, Bucky still asleep, his warm body snuggled up to your back. Your confusion grows when you notice the harsh silence engulfing the dark room, all signs pointing to the power being out. The weather forecast hadn’t called for any storms or high winds - only below-freezing temperatures - leaving you wondering what happened, your anxious mind starting to race. Bucky wakes with a start at your concerned whisper of his name, his body immediately alert for potential danger, his arm instinctively holding you tighter. When he realizes what woke you, he just as quickly relaxes, his hand returning to its place on your soft thigh, sleepily explaining that a transformer blew a few hours ago. You had managed to sleep through it, but he was instantly woken the moment it happened, having unconsciously felt the shift in the room. After ensuring it wasn’t something nefarious, Bucky resecured the windows of your shared, aging apartment - the insulation leaving a lot to be desired - and went back to sleep, throwing an extra blanket on you just in case. It’s easy to be lulled back to sleep after that, Bucky’s assurances easing your worry, reminding you that you’re always safe with him. You don’t wake again until your bladder is on the verge of exploding, the cold floor and freezing bathroom eliciting several complaints from you, the power still out with no sign of returning any time soon. Bucky handles things a bit better, laughing as he pulls you back under the covers, promising to warm you right back up. Your initial request of keeping the blankets on doesn’t last long, the heat of your tangled bodies driving you to kick off the offending material, a light sheen of sweat starting to cover your flushed skin. Without missing a beat, Bucky rolls you both over, his delighted grin and strong grip on your waist encouraging you to grind on top of him, the contrast of the cool air spreading goosebumps across your skin. His gaze never leaves you, mesmerized by the way your body moves, each roll of your hips causing pleasure to race up his spine. He’s not sure how long he’s going to last, your limited movements more than enough to send him over the edge, the sight of you shuddering and crying out his name overwhelming him. And when your next orgasm triggers his own, he pulls you down into a kiss, already planning more ways to keep you from getting too cold, even after the electricity comes back on.

[alt-wannabe]

MCSR As Chemical Compounds

idk either man. expect very little actual explanation and a lot of chemical yapping from a very big nerd

Silverr as Silver Nitrate:

AgNO3

the above is the crystal structure

appearance is just a white crystal kinda like sugar

it took everything in me to not just make silverr plain Ag

silver nitrate is the most common precursor for all other important silver salts

also an extremely important compound in the development of photography! (and iirc silverr is a film major)

Feinberg as Ozone:

O3

produced during lightning strikes

pale blue at high ppm

only leaves gas state at cryogenic temperatures

naturally occurring in the stratosphere and absorbs UV rays from the sun

Fruit as Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate:

NiCl2•6H2O

green

the non-hydrate form is a sort of olive-y yellow color

used to absorb ammonia in gas masks

Raddles as Potassium Permanganate:

KMnO4

Sometimes referred to as Purple Potion Powder

goes CRAZY purple when dissolved and is lowkey my favorite chemical

very strong oxidizing agent

one time i stained my hand purple through my glove with this shit idk how it happened

if made in specific solvents can look extremely similar to dragon's breath in minecraft imo

K4 as Octathio[8]circulene:

C16S8

also referred to as Sulflower (like sulfur and sunflower haha get it)

planar which is fairly uncommon for molecules of this size

can be stacked together to make sheets of sulflowers

Cube as Cubane:

C8H8

yeah this is self-explanatory

what is interesting though is that ring strain in 4 membered rings/squares is really high, so cubane existing is a bit of a chemical anomaly

i havent read into it enough to know for sure but i suspect that ring strain is why cubane is a precursor to a HELLA STRONG explosive compound

Reignex as PPTA:

Poly-p-paraphenylene terephthalamide

[-CO-C6H4-CO-NH-C6H4-NH-]n

the name is complicated as shit but this is just kevlar!

aka bulletproof vest material

looks fluffy when not woven completely together

aligning of polymer chains w hydrogen bonds creates EXTREMELY high tensile strength

Mime as Phenylmagnesium Bromide:

C6H5MgBr

a common grignard reagent aka a compound that can be used in a grignard reaction, an extremely important reaction in organic synthesis as it creates new C-C bonds

another fun fact about grignard reagents is that if water is added to them- or even if they're handled in particularly moist air- they fucking explode

extremely strong nucleophile and base

Poundcake as Xenon Hexafluoride:

XeF6

Noble gases don't react unless you REALLY make them

so a compound containing xenon is really interesting

colorless as a solid but sublimes (aka skips straight from solid to gas) into a bright yellow gas

fun fact a lot of instances where typical chemistry rules are broken (noble gases not reacting, octet rule in general, etc) involve fluorine to the point ive heard it referred to as a "batshit electron thief"

Fulham as Iron Hexacyanidoferrate:

C18Fe7N18

also known as prussian blue

extremely common pigment in paints and the first modern synthetic pigment

used extensively in The Great Wave

another one of my favorite molecules bc im biased and like inorganic chem aka things that contain metals

used as an antidote for heavy metal poisoning which is interesting bc it contains cyanide ligands!

Couriway as Bullvalene:

C10H10

in a state of constant resonance

aka the double bonds are CONSTANTLY shifting and reforming bullvalene into... itself but moved around a little

the bonds fluctuate so rapidly that in nmr analysis each carbon and hydrogen in the entire molecule is read as equivalent (for my non-chem people that's very uncommon and very cool)

formed through photolysis (aka using light/photons to fuel a reaction)

TOUYA TODOROKI: User Guide and Manual

Congratulations! You have purchased your very own limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI unit.

Please see our care guide, user activation manual and your model’s unique specification pamphlet to become acquainted with your newest companion! It is highly advised that you read all materials to avoid any incidents.

Note: Realizations Inc. expressly disclaims any and all liability for damages, injuries, or death arising from the improper use, handling, or mismanagement of your unit following delivery and activation. Upon receipt and activation of your unit, the customer assumes full responsibility for their personal safety and well-being. Use of your unit constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these terms.

Technical Specifications:

Civilian Name: Touya Todoroki Villain Name: Dabi Place of Manufacture: Kyoto, Japan Height: 5’9” / 176cm Weight: 153lbs / 69kg Birthday: January 18th Hair Color: Black, Final War and Child edition have white hair Eye Color: Turquoise Unique Features: Intense decorative scarring on just under half of its body, Final War models feature more. Physical and Mental Age: 23 Language Options: Default Japanese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese

Character Profile:

TOUYA TODOROKI is one of the main villains from the My Hero Academia franchise and universe. He is the estranged son of ENJI TODOROKI and eldest brother to one of My Hero Academia’s main hero characters SHOUTO TODOROKI. He is a member of the League of Villains, led by TOMURA SHIGARAKI. Although his views of society line up with the League of Villains’ agenda, his ultimate goal is to defeat his father in battle, either killing him or die trying.

Despite its initial standoffish behavior, your new TOUYA TODOROKI unit will make for a wonderful platonic or romantic companion once you gain its trust and respect. Other options for your unit include taking it on as an employee. Given that your TOUYA TODOROKI unit can control the temperature output of its flames, TOUYA TODOROKI units make great blacksmiths, jewelers and glassblowers.

Making sure that your villain unit has productive hobbies and outlets is a fantastic way to manage its destructive tendencies, so don’t hesitate to sign it up for groups and classes as long as you know for sure that there won't be any rival units attending. Lucky for you, TOUYA TODOROKI unit’s don’t have many non-Todoroki family based triggers or outward anger issues.

TOUYA TODOROKI’S quirk, Blue Flame, allows the base unit to utilize its patented battery core to produce blue fire from integrated emission ports located in the palms of its hands using Realization Inc.’s exclusive Thermal Emission System, a high-output, directed-plasma combustion array. Flames produced by this system exceed 2,000 degrees celsius, capable of rapid material breakdown and ignition upon contact. Flame emission duration is capped at seven (7) continuous seconds before a mandatory cool down sequence will initiate.

Warning: Excessive Blue Flame generation can place extreme strain on the unit’s chassis. Owners are advised to monitor TOUYA TODOROKI’S extremities for signs of thermal warping, joint degradation, or hairline fractures near emission points.

Programming:

Your TOUYA TODOROKI unit comes with the following base traits:

Aloof. This unit is cool as a cucumber. It retains a certain distance from the majority of people, although with a little effort and patience, this unit can and will form bonds. Confident. Assertive, if not potentially arrogant, this unit is sure in itself and its abilities. It will be more likely to act on choices its made without needing its owners approval or support. Cautious. Careful and aware of the risks of forming attachments, this unit will avoid trusting others. This trait can be overwritten with time and effort to allow trust to be built between owner and unit. Sarcastic. Don’t take this unit’s sass to heart. Most units with this trait use its sarcasm as a defense mechanism. It will soften up once you get to know it or show that you disapprove of how it speaks to you. Sadistic. This unit derives pleasure from inflicting pain, both emotional and physical. Some units with this trait express it more intensely than others. If you find that your unit is too sadistic for your comfort, please call our help line located at the back of the manual and we will refund your unit for full store credit.

WARNING: Villain units are not guaranteed to respond predictably to emotional stimuli. Realizations Inc. is not liable for any damages caused by your units behavior responses.

Care and Maintenance:

Hygiene: All Realizations Inc. units are self-reliant and prefer to clean and care for itself. Do not worry about bathing your unit because it will do so privately and effectively. All Realizations Inc units are as waterproof as the average human, meaning that unless submerged for an extended period of time, the internal electronics and battery core will remain unaffected.

Note: TOUYA TODOROKI does not require any special care for its scarring as even though it is programmed to feel the discomfort and pain related to those kinds of injuries, its scars are merely decorative.

Feeding: As units do not need to eat or drink, please do not try and feed it anything. Attempts to feed or water your unit will likely result in malfunctions requiring technician support. Your unit does have olfactory sensors of varied sensitivity allowing it to “smell” the scent of food. Some units have preferred scents so get to know it and discover its preferences!

Rest: Charging your unit is easy! Thanks to Realizations Inc.’s exclusive and state-of-the-art battery core, your unit rarely has to charge itself! Approximately once a month (more or less depending on quirk usage) your unit will tell you it needs to charge. It will often wait until your usual bedtime to request this, as to not disrupt its owner’s plans. Simply open the nape panel and insert a plugged in Cascade charging cable. Your unit will find a comfortable position and shut down until either fully charged, or its name is called by its owner. Time till full charge takes approximately eight (8) hours for base models and six (6) hours for more advanced models.

Emergency: If your unit is for any reason becoming unruly or dangerous, there is a code you can activate that will place it into an emergency shut down state. Simply state your name, the unit’s designation and then the words “emergency shut down”. This will immediately place your unit into a dormant state, using very little battery and completely unaware of what is going on around it.

Social: The social needs of your unit depend on the version and model of the character you purchased. Some can go days without interaction, others only hours.

Limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI is a loner, preferring to keep to itself for the most part. However, like all units, it requires socialization both as a basic psychological need and for proper owner/unit bonding. TOUYA TODOROKI likes to tease and taunt its fellow units and owner, enjoying handing out playful, and not so playful, insults. It likes being teased back, but won't tolerate direct offence or slander.

We at Realizations Inc. programmed our TOUYA TODOROKI units to be nearly identical to its fictional counterpart. Limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI is based on the canonical version of the character from between the “Meta Liberation Army” and the early “Paranormal Liberation” arcs. This TOUYA TODOROKI unit remains aloof and carefree, but holds a certain urgency to its actions. It has more intense rivalries with certain adult heroic units and the other Todoroki members, but not as bad as the Final War model, now available for preorder. Keep it away from rivals and building a partnership should be easier!

Accessories:

ONE (1) activation outfit TWO (2) civilian outfits, ONE (1) casual, ONE (1) semi-formal ONE (1) villain costume ONE (1) packet of replacement staples and piercings TWO (2) Realizations Inc. patented Cascade charging cables ONE (1) user manual

Relationships With Other Units:

The Todoroki’s: Only ENJI TODOROKI and SHOUTO TODOROKI at the time of this unit’s development have been created and distributed by Realizations Inc. When exposed to the sight, sound or presence of either unit, your TOUYA TODOROKI unit will react with brutal callousness, usually in the form of hurtful, taunting words. However, if for any reason the owner feels a real fight is about to break out, initiate emergency shut down protocols. As a reminder: Realizations Inc. is not liable for any damages, injuries or death as a result of mismanagement of your new unit.

The League of Villains: Your TOUYA TODOROKI unit gets along for the most part with any unit designated a member of The League of Villains. TOUYA TODOROKI doesn’t necessarily respect those units, nor would it consider the League a priority, but if asked it will go along with their requests and various shenanigans. TOMURA SHIGARAKI and TOUYA TODOROKI tolerate each other, despite the two unit’s mutual lack of respect. TOUYA TODOROKI doesn’t have a very high opinion of HIMIKO TOGA, but the two of them get along well enough due to their mutual respect and admiration of CHIZOME AKAGURO’S principles. More League of Villains members are to be developed in the future. Please check Realizations Inc.’s website for future information of the unit’s relationships as they are released.

Heroes: Your TOUYA TODOROKI unit will treat younger heroic units as nothing to concern itself with, as long as said units keep away from it. Adult heroic units are a different story. The usually cautious and stand-offish unit likes to taunt and antagonize adult heroes, sometimes even coming to fisticuffs or worse with them if not restrained by its owner. Prominent relationships between TOUYA TODOROKI and other adult heroes include but are not limited to: YAGI TOSHINORI, despite being born to overtake All Might as number one, TOUYA TODOROKI doesn’t seem to hold any interest in the hero, beyond a slight lingering resentment. KEIGO TAKAMI and TOUYA TODOROKI greatly distrust and dislike each other. Neither KEIGO TAKAMI nor TOUYA TODOROKI care if the other lives or dies, and will only tolerate each other’s presence if the two units share a trusted owner. More Heroes are to be developed in the future. Please check Realizations Inc.’s website for future information of the unit’s relationships as they are released.

First meetings between units can be a fun and exciting moment for your household or between owners, however, without taking precautions some meetings can end in disaster. Please note that Realization Inc.’s unit models are physically tough and not easily harmed, however if your unit ends up damaged, please call our help line and we will send replacement parts or take your unit in to be inspected by our in-house technicians.

Removal From Packaging:

Lay down the received box that your unit comes in, horizontal on the floor. Remove the lid of the box and any packing materials covering your new unit. At the base of the “skull”, you should feel a small etching just below the hairline. Using a coin, flat head screwdriver or a long finger nail, pry open the panel. Inside you will see three things: a large charging port, compatible with Realizations Inc.’s patented Cascade charging cable, a small pinhole for factory reset and a flat circular button, about the size of a dime.

Press and hold the button for 5 seconds before replacing the panel. It should snap back into place. Your new unit’s eyes should open. Do not be alarmed that the eyes are blank! Your unit’s pupils and irises will appear once you say the activation code and introduce yourself.

Once the blank eyes of your unit glow white, state your full name before reading out loud the fourteen digit code on the back of the manual. Be patient while your unit boots up, and stand back. Certain models of units wake up suddenly and violently.

This limited edition model includes the following exclusive features:

Quirk Adjacent Technology:

Limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI’S body is resistant to frigid temperatures. Its programming will not detect any discomfort when exposed to the cold. It will experience a normal amount of discomfort when exposed to exaggerated heat, including but not limited to usage of its quirk.

Advanced Blue Flame, limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI’S Quirk, allows full-body flame channeling through the unit’s micro-conductive mesh woven synthetic musculature. This upgrade enables spontaneous flame projection from any exposed surface of the unit’s body. Temperature thresholds for Advanced Blue Flame may potentially reach 2,500 celsius and higher, with unstable plasma arcs recorded during states of emotional distress. Limited edition flame emission duration is capped at twelve (12) continuous seconds before a mandatory cool down sequence will initiate.

Note: This advanced quirk may cause significant damage to the unit is used frequently and at high levels, including overheating, cortical lag, and long-term structural compromise. Please call Realizations Inc.’s help line for assistance ordering and assembling replacement parts. If damage is too advanced to fix at the owners home, we will collect your unit for technician repairs at one of our local licensed facilities.

Advanced Programming:

Your limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI unit comes with the advanced ability to unlock and adapt new programming traits as you interact with it! Unlocking each trait requires certain interactions with your unit.

Violent. This trait is more likely to activate if you, its owner, or the unit itself is in danger or feels disrespected. Statistically the most frequently unlocked advanced trait for limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI. Masochistic. There is a random chance when aggressively interacting with your unit that it will develop the Masochistic trait. With this trait unlocked, your unit will enjoy and, depending on the unit’s confidence, seek out physical and emotional pain slash punishment from you, its owner. Loyal. Your unit will become as loyal as a dog to you, its owner. When this trait unlocks, your unit will refuse to obey conflicting orders from anyone but you, even corporate overrides. This trait has a chance of developing naturally over time. Obsessive. When unlocked, your unit will become fixated on you, its owner. Be prepared to be followed around and stared at. The more unpredictable the unit, the more likely it is that it will manifest this trait as its sub-trait Possessive instead. This is the second rarest trait to unlock and the activation requirements are unknown. Note: If the Obsessive trait-line is active alongside Loyal, this trait may unlock in a yet to be patched form our technicians have designated Devoted, which has been shown to result in severe attachment issues. Remorseful. The rarest unlockable trait for any villain unit. Requires frequent and repeated attempts to achieve. TIP: Having one villain unit with the Remorseful trait in the same household as a villain unit without it will make the likeliness of it activating in the second unit higher.

Romance and Intercourse:

How exciting! Your limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI features our new and improved fourth generation Passion programming and Interfacing equipment.

Romance: TOUYA TODOROKI is outwardly a laid back and inattentive companion, not typically showing the level of care or affection one would expect from such a fiery and intense individual. This however, is mostly an act put on to protect itself emotionally from other’s judgment. When one on one, or if wanting to show off, TOUYA TODOROKI is a passionately licentious lover who doesn’t hold back from showing its appreciation in any way you allow it to…

Sex: This model of TOUYA TODOROKI allows you to either fully customize your personal preferences or allow the unit to naturally develop its taste in sexual matters over time.

This includes but is not limited to; its sexuality, dominance levels, kinks, preferred position(s) and more.

Limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI comes equipped with a water based, self lubricating five point nine (5.9) inch / fifteen (15) centimeter long silicon phallus with a three point five (3.5) inch / nine (9) centimeter girth when erect. Its testicles are twenty six (26) cubic centimeters large. All units ejaculate hypoallergenic, glycerin-free faux semen in quantities of five (5) milliliters per climax. Its refractory period is customizable, simply tell the unit how long it should take to “recover” between sessions of intimacy.

Like all Realizations Inc. units compatible with intercourse, your TOUYA TODOROKI unit is completely hairless downstairs unless special ordered. Additionally the phallus is by default hyper-realistic, but for those who wish otherwise, you can special order one with a more toy like design. The more experimental folks can special order a phallus with niobium piercings, the layout of which is customizable and exclusive to the adult limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI unit line!

Limited edition TOUYA TODOROKI is programmed with versatile oral knowledge with no gag reflex or necessity to breathe, although if asked it can pretend to. Its lips, tongue, oral cavity, throat and anus are made of a proprietary TPE blend that mimics a soft buccal mucosa-like membrane. Your TOUYA TODOROKI unit will clean itself after each completed sexual encounter, so feel free to get as messy as you want.

Thank you for ordering Realizations Inc. limited edition! Good luck and have fun!

This is the start of a series I'm working on for a separate fanfiction based off of the ancient FFN Hetalia fic trope "Units" created by user 0ptimuspenguin (Warning, their stories feature casual, juvenile, 2010 Hetalia fandom typical rape jokes that they have since kind of apologized for. Check out their profile at your own discretion). Oh yeah, 0ptimuspenguin has given everyone blanket permission to use their idea of Unit or Manualfics on their profile page.

I've dearly missed this trope and the subsequent fanfictions inspired by it, so after googling and Tumblr searching to see if it's been done before in this fandom, I decided to put pen to paper and write it myself. This time without the uhhhh rape jokes. In fact all sexual references in these manuals will be exceptionally anti-horny, clinical in nature and will only apply to adult units.

I'm planning on doing a lot more of these for my various favorite characters, and especially those that will be featured in my future story, but eventually want to do one for each major character oh the series (hoo boy!). If you want me to try to prioritize a certain MHA character's unit manual just shoot me an ask and the Realization Inc. technicians will get to working on it!

because it's cold and my circulation is shitty because I am old and disabled lmao, I've been thinking...

Concept: Old Bots in Cold Earth Weather

there are different kinds and degrees of cold, of course

but surely, snow/ice/damp winter weather would be not great for mechanical lifeforms

sure, we know rust is a perpetual concern to begin with

and in TFP, we know there is a hard limit to maximum safe cold exposure for bots in general

but what about old bots with more sensitive joints and cabling?

maybe their minor fuel lines suffer stiffness during cold weather similar to how vascular construction from cold can cause circulation problems in human beings (Reynauds Syndrome, anyone?)

it would also be comparable to winter damage to rubber lines and materials in cars, where the cold causes the rubber components to become more brittle and less flexible over time -- might also affect tires

in TFA, they're all by Lake Erie/Detroit. cold as hell in winter. there's no way Ratchet is having a good time. his ass is out there unable to feel his servos for a good five months out of the year.

I know this, because I used to live just outside of Erie, in Allegheny. And holy fuck, my joints hurt just thinking about it. Now I live in England, where it's a different type of cold, but it fucks up my circulation and my lungs. lol

maybe it's not just damp cold weather that can impact older bots more severely, but dry cold weather.

perhaps "breathing in" cold air through their cooling systems and fans might cause difficulty with internal temperature regulation, possibly even causing spark dysregulation in the way humans can suffer tachycardia/arrhythmia from extreme cold exposure.

TFA Ratchet is having a rough time, I'm telling you. He's a medic, he's watching his own systems carefully, but he's not having a good time. lmao

But even TFP Ratchet, who has been acclimated mostly to the desert climate of Nevada, surely would not have an easy time trying to bridge himself over to a colder climate in order to pull an injured bot out of the field or try to carry out field repairs in a blizzard etc.

Or G1 Kup, who would absolutely be feeling the cold in miserable ways what with being in charge of field drills for the younger recruits (and therefore having to be outside all day), but he would absolutely strategically call Hot Rod over so that he could warm himself up with the excess heat rolling off of the exceptionally hot-running speedster.

The longer his stories are, the longer Hot Rod has to stand there next to him. LOL

all of the old bots would refuse to acknowledge their own difficulty in cold weather, lmao -- If Ratchet drops a tool because he can't feel his digits at all, you did not see it, it is fine, yes Bumblebee does pick it up and it's totally not embarrassing to be taken out by EARTH WEATHER of all things

if he trips because his pedes have started to ice over and his fuel circulation is going to hell, you did not see it. (Everyone sees it. Bumblebee and Optimus are first to offer help, and if the snow piles up too high, Bulkhead might even jokingly offer to carry Ratchet back... Ratchet starts yelling back, which gives Optimus the opportunity to sweep in and pick him up instead. "It's not a problem, old friend. We all stumble at times.")

lots of grumbling about how the vacuum of space is far colder and they've handled that before etc. (until someone points out that space doesn't have snowfall etc.)

anyway my break's over so I gotta get back to work, apologies for any typos, I'm writing this on my phone lol :')

From Design to Deployment: How Switchgear Systems Are Built

In the modern world of electrical engineering, switchgear systems play a critical role in ensuring the safe distribution and control of electrical power. From substations and factories to commercial buildings and critical infrastructure, switchgear is the silent guardian that protects equipment, ensures safety, and minimizes power failures.

But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes, from the idea to the actual installation? Let’s dive into the full journey — from design to deployment — of how a switchgear system is built.

Step 1: Requirement Analysis and Load Study

Every switchgear project begins with requirement analysis. This includes:

Understanding the electrical load requirements

Calculating voltage levels, short-circuit ratings, and operating current

Identifying environmental conditions: indoor, outdoor, temperature, humidity

Reviewing applicable industry standards like IEC, ANSI, or DEWA regulations (especially in UAE)

This stage helps engineers determine whether the project needs low voltage (LV), medium voltage (MV), or high voltage (HV) switchgear.

Step 2: Conceptual Design & Engineering

Once the requirements are clear, the conceptual design begins.

Selection of switchgear type (air insulated, gas insulated, metal-enclosed, metal-clad, etc.)

Deciding on protection devices: MCCBs, ACBs, relays, CTs, VTs, and fuses

Creating single-line diagrams (SLDs) and layout drawings

Choosing the busbar material (copper or aluminum), insulation type, and earthing arrangements

Software like AutoCAD, EPLAN, and ETAP are commonly used for precise engineering drawings and simulations.

Step 3: Manufacturing & Fabrication

This is where the physical structure comes to life.

Sheet metal is cut, punched, and bent to form the panel enclosures

Powder coating or galvanizing is done for corrosion protection

Assembly of circuit breakers, contactors, protection relays, meters, etc.

Internal wiring is installed according to the schematic

Every switchgear panel is built with precision and must undergo quality control checks at each stage.

Step 4: Factory Testing (FAT)

Before deployment, every switchgear unit undergoes Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) to ensure it meets technical and safety standards.

Typical FAT includes:

High-voltage insulation testing

Continuity and phase sequence testing

Functionality check of all protection relays and interlocks

Mechanical operations of breakers and switches

Thermal imaging to detect hotspots

Only after passing FAT, the switchgear is cleared for shipping.

Step 5: Transportation & Site Installation

Transportation must be handled with care to avoid damage to components. At the site:

Panels are unloaded and moved to their final location

Cabling and bus duct connections are established

Earthing systems are connected

Environmental sealing is done if installed outdoors or in dusty environments

Step 6: Commissioning & Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)

This final stage ensures the switchgear is ready for live operation.

Final checks and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) are performed

System integration is tested with other components like transformers, UPS, and generators

Load tests and trial runs are conducted

Commissioning report is generated, and documentation is handed over to the client

Conclusion

From idea to execution, the journey of building a switchgear system is highly technical, safety-driven, and precision-based. Whether you’re in power generation, industrial automation, or commercial construction, understanding this process ensures you choose the right system for your needs.

by 'take care of it' i meant that i got too scared bc it was on a weirdly angled surface so i left the room and when i came back it was Gone. so fire girlie time!

fire girlie's name is Light Enhancing Fire Aspected Homunculus, or LEFAH for short (pronounced 'leafah'). apparently peach is the only one who gets a proper name. thats fine! hers came together so much easier than everyone else's.

Fire does not exist as a physical thing. what we know as 'fire' is just the exothermic reaction of things burning and releasing heat and light. The first attempts at fusing with the core of a fire elemental, a creature of pure energy release, ended in disaster as the girls raised the temperature in the room high enough to melt the creator's surgical tools and amplified the light enough to blind someone before finally succumbing to the heat themselves. "luckily" the creator was quick to evacuate the room, so experiments could continue. Lefah was the first subject who managed to control the power and avoid dying, but as fire is exothermic, her powers are not reversible. light is fine because it travels at incredible speeds, so no matter how bright it gets it'll go back to normal the instant she stops enhancing it, but heat takes time to dissipate and she can't do anything to reduce it. none of the girls are immune to their own elements, as they are still human, and the human body can only handle an increase in temperature of a few degrees, so she has to be very careful not to affect her internal body temperature too much.

her most basic combat technique is raising the temperature of the battlefield to dangerous levels because most creatures get easily exhausted in the heat. but i promised we'd get silly with this and We Shall. rather than relying on physical exertion, Lefah fights with twin laser pistols loaded with flint and steel. the resulting spark is brief but bright, and she is able to amplify the resulting flash coming out of the barrel into a powerfully condensed laser capable of melting steel. on sunny days, she becomes nearly unstoppable, able to directly condense the sun's rays into even more powerful lasers that can sear a person right in half. if the battlefield has reflective surfaces on it (like a knight's armour) she can use the sun's rays reflected off that for more targeted lasers from directions the enemies arent expecting. while she could certainly initiate a last stand by raising the temperature to unsurvivable levels, the fact remains that air doesn't conduct heat very well, so any attackers could simply flee while she dies. so, lacking the inborn self-destruction of the previous two sisters, the creator was forced to resort to surgical measures, implanting a vast amount of highly explosive material within her. lefah's powers also include the ability to create Ignition, which is less useful in a fight unless gunpowder's involved, but it can easily be used to set off the explosives within her and decimate the surrounding area. most of the explosives are in her torso, but theres some in her arms and legs as well.

lefah's body tends to run a bit hot, especially at night, so she's got a constant slight fever. she makes a lovely cuddler for the other girls on cold winter nights, but it has resulted in chronic joint inflammation and general aching, so she's in varying amounts of pain at all times. she feels like shes obligated to protect her older sisters though, and theyre all going through so much worse than her, so she keeps a smile on her face and hasn't told them about it.

anyway here's she! made here

what a fucking struggle to create such a plain-looking girl. im still not quite satisfied but she's fine like this.

Can Residential Metal Roofing Handle Temperature Extremes?

When it comes to home improvements, you might be considering various roofing options, especially if you live in an area that experiences temperature extremes. You want a roof that protects your home, complements its aesthetics, and provides energy efficiency. One option that has gained popularity is residential metal roofing. But can it handle the intense heat of summer and the biting cold of winter? Let’s explore this topic together and find out what you need to know about residential metal roofing and its ability to withstand temperature extremes.

What Is Residential Metal Roofing?

Residential metal roofing is made from various materials, including steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc. These materials come in multiple styles, colors, and finishes, making metal roofing an attractive option for many homeowners. Unlike traditional asphalt shingles, which can deteriorate under extreme weather conditions, residential metal roofing offers a durable alternative that can effectively handle high and low temperatures.

How Does Residential Metal Roofing Perform in Extreme Heat?

If you live in a hot climate, you may wonder how residential metal roofing performs under the scorching sun. Here are a few points to consider:

1. Reflective Properties

One significant benefit of residential metal roofing is its reflective properties. Metal roofs can reflect solar radiant heat, helping keep your home cooler. This is particularly useful in areas where summer temperatures soar. Metal roofs can be 50 to 60 degrees cooler than dark asphalt shingles, reducing energy consumption for home cooling.

2. The Cool Roof Option

If you’re set on a darker color for aesthetic reasons, don’t worry! Many manufacturers now offer “cool metal roofs.” These roofs come in dark shades but are engineered to reflect more solar energy than traditional dark roofing materials. Thus, you can enjoy the look of a dark roof without sacrificing energy efficiency.

3. Longevity and Durability

Metal roofing is designed to last. While asphalt shingles may degrade and require replacement every 15 to 30 years, residential metal roofing can last 40 to 70 years or longer when properly maintained. This longevity means fewer replacements and repairs, saving you money and hassle.

How Does Residential Metal Roofing Handle Extreme Cold?

Extreme heat can be challenging for a roof, and so can extreme cold. Here’s how residential metal roofing stands up to winter conditions:

1. Snow and Ice Management

Unlike traditional roofing materials, metal roofs allow snow and ice to slide off more easily. This prevents the accumulation of heavy snow loads and minimizes the risk of ice dams, which can lead to leaks and water damage in your home. This is an essential factor to consider if you live in an area with heavy snowfall.

2. Insulation Properties

While metal roofs are excellent at shedding snow, their performance in cold weather also hinges on proper insulation underneath. With effective insulation, residential metal roofing can help keep your home warm during frigid temperatures. This insulating layer minimizes heat loss and keeps your living space cozy, particularly during cold winter.

3. Resistance to Cracking

Extreme temperature variations can cause some roofing materials to crack or become brittle. However, high-quality residential metal roofing is designed to withstand these fluctuations without compromising structural integrity. This resilience makes it a wise choice for regions that experience both sweltering summers and frigid winters.

The Importance of Color and Finish

When selecting residential metal roofing, the color and finish can significantly impact performance in temperature extremes. Here’s what to keep in mind:

1. Lighter Colors for Hot Climates

LiConsidConsiderg lighter colors if you live in an area with high temperatures. Consider considering more sunlight, which can help lower your cooling costs by reducing heat absorption. A white or light-colored metal roof can lead to significant energy savings, making it a smart choice for warm climates.

2. Darker Colors for Colder Regions

Darker colors can be beneficial in colder climates. They absorb heat from the sun, helping to keep your home warmer during the winter months. If you prefer a dark color, ensure that you also have adequate insulation to maximize energy efficiency.

Maintenance Tips for Residential Metal Roofing

Proper maintenance is key to ensuring that your residential metal roof performs well, regardless of temperature extremes. Here are some essential maintenance tips:

1. Regular Inspections

Make it a habit to Inspect your metal roof at least twice a year. Look for signs of damage, corrosion, or loose panels. Early detection of issues can prevent more significant problems later.

2. Keep It Clean

Debris, leaves, and dirt can accumulate on your roof, affecting its performance. Regularly clearing your roof of debris can help maintain its reflective properties and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to corrosion.

3. Hire Professionals

If you’re uncomfortable performing maintenance, consider hiring a professional roofing contractor. They can ensure that your roof is maintained correctly and safely, particularly if you live in an area with extreme weather conditions.

Protect Your Home from the Elements

Residential metal roofing is a robust and versatile option that can effectively handle temperature extremes. Its reflective properties, durability, and resistance to heat and cold make it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to invest in a long-lasting roofing solution. By understanding how metal roofing performs in various climates and following proper maintenance practices, you can ensure that your roof remains in optimal condition for years.
