Okay so to add to the superfam x neglected! reader! What if the reader is an absolute nerd with engineering (mechanical, computer, electronics, software, and robotics) and as they slowly grew comfortable with Lex Luthor, they just found themselves yapping away about the functions of the Omnitrix, interesting projects they're working on, and what they want to do yk. Like this girl went from quiet, demure, shy who is not used to attention to someone who could talk Lex's ears off for HOURS, and he isn't even mad??? All her ideas are pretty interesting and it's also nice to see her just be in her element. The superfam being regretful because they didn't know Reader could talk this much or be so bright about something. Lois feeling immense guilt because she got so used to the easy way of not having to worry about injuries because Jon, Kon, and Clark don't that she forgot her daughter didn't inherit any of the indestructableness

Also!!! As Reader slowly got used to actually have an adult pay attention to her and encourage her with her interests, plus the praise she receives with her hero persona, she just became more confident. Idk it's like 1 am and the drabble was too good

-🪻

I want to start with the Ben10 reader x Invincible- I don't really feel the vibe for it- like Debbie has bitten into Nolan for not being happy for powerless kiddie Mark, and she'd do it again, and Nolan honestly just gave "angry because I'm getting attacked" vibes. But it'd be funny to see how shocked Battle Beast would be to see a youngling of his race try and battle him :)))

Also- Dad!Lex honestly just gives PTA Mom vibes to me-

(This and the 3 other Tony Stark!Reader stories I read are slowly making me want to do a TS!Neglected!Reader x batfam, Bruce would lose it at his daughter being so much like Brucie and so little like Bruce)

I'M HAPPY Y'ALL LIKE MY RAMBLING!! Most of the time I feel like it has no rhythm or reason :))

Lex: My kid is a mastermind in robotics and alien tech, on her way to have a greater empire than mine- What can your monkey-brained son do besides chase a ball, Janet?!

You: I don't even go here... I don't even know this woman.

Like, once this man gets attached, he goes crazy. He has an important business meeting at the same time you have a school event? At best, he's video chatting from your school, screaming mid-sentence that you did great, or at worst, not even present in the meeting.

Because let's be honest- rich man who knows how to act and can provide proof of neglect vs an above middle class family who didn't even know where the kid was? The rich man wins.

And sure, you may hate it at first, think it's a ploy to get back at Superman, because why would an adult actually care for you? But instead of lowering the anti-supers measures he has in place, he triples them. He asks about school shit, nags you about homework, if you ate, "You shouldn't sit for so long in front of a screen."

It drove you crazy. And you started acting out- missing homework, having sleepless nights, arguing with him over the smallest shit, until he called you for a serious talk. You were ready for him to tell you to pack your shit and go- but he just asked if everything was fine at school. "Because this isn't you."

Your lip may have trembled, but you refuse to acknowledge that you cried, that tears were even a concept. After hugging, definitely not crying in his arms, you got better- even if he suspended you from hero activity for a year "because you should have just come to talk to him" but whatever-

And boy does all of this fuck with the family. Not every place is anti-super proof, so they hear you talking his ear off at the restaurant he takes you to for the weekly family outing, or to celebrate whatever you made that day. And it builds the anger and guilt.

Lois started stalking Lex, not what she'd call it, but she was. Because she knew you wouldn't be far away. And it was amazing to see you talk about whatever machine-thingy-robot- whatever it was. It hurt to realize what she's been missing, and it hurt even more to see you smile so brightly and proudly at the man who, for years, has tried to ruin the family.

And when Jon sees you out and about and tries to follow after you, wanting his sis back, he loses track of you. Lex just finds a note stating that the cloaking tech works, but after 30 seconds, it fried. He doesn't ask, he already knows. But if you told him, he would obediently listen.

Kon is straight up thinking Lex brainwashed you. He refuses to believe you're doing that out of your own free will and is actively plotting with Tim and Young JL.

It was eerie how much you resembled Kon in his early days as "the real, new Superman" but the difference was in the way you actually were strategic in your flirting. Just enough to charm, but not enough to insinuate a possibility of more. Not that Lex would allow anyone to sniff around you, he has a strict list of requirements for the ideal one, and he's sure no one will hit all of them.

Honestly- he may as well start creating an android, the perfect one, to be the right lover. You shut that idea down quick. "Feels wrong to create an android and take away its free will. There are so many movies and games about why that's a bad idea."

All he hears is to create an android with another main mission, and just let the thing fall in love with you on its own. He has mad confidence in your rizz, mainly because he thinks you are the prize, and anyone not seeing that is crazy or blind. (*caugh* the superfam *caugh*) You could also do no wrong in his eyes, could kill everyone, and he'd still be like "lil baby, innocent, sweet thing", but that's another discussion.

This man will need to take calming pills if you show interest in JL members, aliens like Rook Blonko and Ester, or the witch Charmcaster.

You and Lex:

Corporate!Kyle ‘Gaz’ Garrick needs help

his computer keeps crashing every few days, but the poor man sends a request to the IT department hoping that it’s the new pretty bird who started a month ago helps him.

he had taken up a business idea with his old military captain and buddies, something in manufacturing or whatnot. he was part of the financial department so all he had to worry about was numbers.

the gorgeous IT tech became a constant image on his mind when he almost wiped a financial report once and panicked on how to get it back. that was all it took, an urgent request, a quick look and five minute conversation for gaz to fall head over heels for you.

whenever you came over to help, he always apologized with every excuse in the book: his computer is getting older (no it isnt), he thought the software protection was up to date (no it wasnt), or he didn’t know that link would download a virus (yes he did).

he was so clever, using his laptop as an excuse for you to come to him to chat about your day. slowly prying you open about your life. how you love going to the local aquarium with your nieces and nephews, or how your favorite chinese restaurant is a hole in the wall on 5th street.

“so kyle, are you ever going to put your computer out of its misery?”

ok maybe he wasn’t so clever.

“what’d you mean, birdie?” trying to keep his smile teetering from cheeky to nervous.

“kyle, your computer conveniently crashes every other week but never during payroll?”

“I told you before love, it’s an old laptop, grinding its way through, trying its best—“

“we can track everyone’s cursor patterns based on the wifi you connect to here.”

well fuck, does that mean—

“how long ‘ave you known?” he squinted at you with an exasperated smile.

“the whole time” you gave him a second to breathe before continuing. “your laptop is about to crash indefinitely if you don’t stop clicking on every virus you see”

he was stunned, utterly gaping like a fish.

“i’ll see you after work to get a drink, gaz”

oh you cheeky little thing.

i've been following @nonevahed's journey using dictation software to write, and it seems like a deeply frustrating experience (certainly last time i played around with dictation, i found it unusable) and i was wondering if, with advances in recent technology, you could make dictation "work" without some of the inherent clunk of having to list out paragraph breaks and punctuation marks. and i think the answer is 'yes question mark'

my thought was to try the following process

record some audio of a live "writing a story aloud" session. (i am notably extremely bad at this so you'll have to forgive what you're about to read). this gave me an 8 minute audio

put it through a audio -> text transcriber. i used whishper, which runs locally even on my kinda garbo computer. this took less than 10 mins and gave me a decently clean transcript, filled with rambling and garbage

take that transcript and tell chatGPT to put in proper dialogue/punctuation/paragraph breaks/etc so that it's formatted as a story. i did have to do this twice because the first time i failed to say "use ONLY my own words" b/c it started to put some chatGPTisms in there lol, but after that it behaved

this worked, i would say, surprisingly well. original transcript and chatGPT results under the cut. you really will have to forgive the shitty writing lol. I am not designed to think aloud

original transcript

Hello ChatGPT. I'm about to provide you a transcript of me dictating a small science fiction story that I have written. What I would like you to do is format it as a story. So strip out all of my instructions, the timestamps that are in the transcript file and add proper punctuation and paragraph breaks. You'll have to intuit or interpret some of this because I am not going to say every punctuation mark in my transcription. If I correct myself at any point in the transcript, so if I say wait stop I need to go back and fix something a little bit earlier, please make that replacement automatically. This is a science fiction story so some of the character names are spelled strangely. If you see something that is spelled not not correctly in the transcript, please fix it for me. The character names in question are Hale, H-A-I-L, and Carillon Station, that's C-A-R-R-E-L-O-N, then Station, Barvaya, that's B-A-R-V-A-Y-A, one word, and Masha, M-A-S-H-A. So here is the story I'm going to begin now.

Barvaya allowed Hale to stay in his house that night. It was more generous than Hale had expected or more generous than he even wanted. He stayed in the guest bedroom or one of them. The house was two floors above Barvaya's offices and it was arranged around a long courtyard area at Green Garden growing in the middle with the family's rooms off on either side. All of the rooms were had doors that were unmarked and nondescript but were made aside. Chat, let me go back and fix that. All of the doors that lined the courtyard were made of the same expensive carved wood as the one as the wood that had been outside of the house. Let me fix that again. All of the doors that lined the courtyard were made of the same expensive carved wood as the entry to the house. Hale's guest bedroom was dark and the furniture was also expensive. Although what he wanted most to do was to leave and go to a what he wanted most to do was leave and go to one of the restaurants on Carolyn station and gorge himself until he could no longer eat. The doctor that Barvaya had summoned for him explicitly forbid him from doing this and he was given instead just a small pouch of protein just a small pouch of a protein shake to reintroduce food to his system after being starved for so long. It had not sat well with him and he had been in severe pain through the night. But now it was morning and he was feeling more alive than he had in many days. Something about something about the food and something about the guest bedroom of the house where he could feel Barvaya's family all around him in their in their rooms talking amongst each other. If he wanted he could use the power to peer through the walls and see them or listen to their conversations but he declined. It was comforting but a simulacrum of comfort to have the family all around him. If he didn't look at them he could pretend for a moment like they were his own. And so he did this in the morning after he woke up before he got out of bed with the silk sheets pulled up all around him. He closed his eyes and spread his awareness thinly just through the bounds of Barvaya's house. But he was awake quite early not having been able to sleep very well with the food that he had been given. And so no wait hold on go back. He woke up quite late not having been able to sleep in the beginning. All right let me let me try that again sorry chat let's go back. Hale woke up late in the day having gone to bed late in the morning and so the house emptied out around him as Barvaya's household went through their daily motions and left to go to their business left to deal with their business around the station. This left just a few people in the house and Hale was surprised when one of them crept forward towards and Hale let me go back a little bit and Hale took notice when one of these people crept up towards his door alone. It seems likely that the boy and it was a boy he looked out through no hold on go back. Uh Hale took notice when one of the people in the house crept up to his door and stood outside of it doing nothing and saying nothing for long minutes. He could feel the presence there but he declined to investigate until the presence grew too suspicious so Hale used the power to look at who was standing outside his door. It was the boy Masha whom he had met the night before whose father had ushered him out of the room so that he could deal with Hale. It seemed unlikely that Masha was going to come in but he felt angry no hold on go back. It seemed unlikely that Masha was going to enter the room on his own but Hale could sense how angry he was and how much he wanted to. So Hale go back a little bit. So Hale opened the door and he said hello Masha. This caused the boy who was waiting just outside the door to leap at him with a knife in his hand. Hale stopped him without any difficulty. What are you doing? Hale asked. You were going to kill my father. Okay that's the end of the recording thank you chat please do your best to transcribe this mess. you

Hi lovely Wolf! Humbly requesting bites to the bone for the wip game 💜

Hello lovely Fay!

Ooh okay, so, this fic started off as a Wolfstar WIP, like a million years ago, but more recently (a year and a bit ago? I think?) I decided to switch it over to Drarry. The basic premise is this: Draco and Blaise lose everything after the war, but they love nice things. So they start a crime ring where they sleep with rich men and rob them in the middle of the night.

It's another one that's been festering in my WIP graveyard for a while, sadly, but here's a snippet...

-

With Muggles, it always starts with a watch. 

It’s a good indicator, a nice watch. Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Breitling. Draco’s learned them all, and he’s learned they’re all good.

The shoes are next. Trainers are almost always a no, obviously, unless they’re leather, or look very new. They tend to indicate a particular type of creative: a music producer, a successful artist, a writer, a television or film executive. Good in bed.

Suede Chelsea boots? That’s a Shoreditch posh boy with a geeky job in computers and software, probably mid level, or, if he has a nice haircut and is over the age of thirty, he’s higher up, maybe even runs the joint, and he thinks he’s cool. They’re a good bet, most of the time, because their flats are full of gadgets and big boy toys and they don’t care what they leave out in the open because they live life on the edge or they’re just too stupid and arrogant to realise what should be hidden away and what shouldn’t.

Polished brogues? Wanker banker. Ego the size of a planet. The best odds of having a good night, financially and otherwise.

After the watch and shoes, Draco will look at their phones (namely, if they have one), their wallets, and any other valuables on their person that will almost always end up in his possession by sundown: digital cameras, iPods, rucksacks big enough to hold laptops, what have you. Whatever he can fit into his own bag, whatever’s good enough to exchange for money. Like the men, every item is a number, a figure, a balance in his vault for rent, bills, food, designer clothes and restaurant bills.

Draco first spotted the man earlier when he walked into the bar. It’s his usual trick: excuse me, I think you dropped this? and he’ll crouch to the floor to pick up the phoney credit card he plants there when they’re not paying attention to him, and by the time he stands back up and slides the card onto the table under their nose, they won’t be paying attention to anyone else, because Draco will be smiling, he’ll be making confident eye contact, and he’ll be standing close though that they’ll be able to smell his shower gel and aftershave, but not close enough that it will feel like he’s too close, and they’ll always say—

“—oh, that’s not… that’s not mine?”

The man has curly brown hair and a long, freckly nose. His watch—rose gold case, brown leather strap, Cartier logo—peeks out from the edge of his buttoned sleeve.

in the melting pot au: Ingrid does give CEO vibes but maybe like ceo of a fashion brand or fashion magazine? cfo frido too

caro works in either data analytics or software something that involves a lot of screen time so she self-prescribes mandated time outdoors and was reading in the park when she met conejita

frida works in something super specialized and local to the area to justify her having to live apart from emma and squish so maybe nature or animal conservancy it's mainly frida who teaches squish on how to forage ethically and without disturbing the local ecosystem

one time while emma is visiting, she sees that the couple running the local bakery frida always takes them to is retiring and ends up taking over when they finally move in with frida. alexia's restaurants source their bread from Emma's bakery and once a week, emma offers a specialty pastry baked with ingredients they foraged near their home

just emma and frida and squish living their best cottagecore life as they should 😌

Okay, more Melting Pot infodumps because this little au makes me feel very happy

Ingrid definitely gives fashion ceo vibes. She's probably got like a fashion empire and is earning so much money that she can keep her pack of kids and her golden retriever girlfriend afloat on just a monthly salary alone.

Frido's the best friend that she met at uni and they're just such good friends and they adopted IT Head!Caro into their friend group when they were at university. Caro runs the IT department and she works in a little office that she keeps really dark and just hunches over her computer all day.

Frido and Ingrid keep telling her to take a break and go out for once. Caro thinks they're both being stupid but the first time she actually does, she meets Marta and Conejita and Frido and Ingrid never let her live it down.

Frida working on the nearby nature reserve and she loves taking Squish to work with her on the weekends. Some of Squish's favourite things is parent day at the school when all the parents come in to talk about their jobs and everyone gets to hear about all the cool conservation things Frida does.

Emma in the bakery using the berries she and Squish foraged at the weekend in her muffins and suddenly the bakery is booming again. Bambi forcing Alexia inside because Squish's mummy runs the bakery and Alexia literally just buying a sandwich for herself and a slice of cake for each of her girls but then being really impressed and suddenly Alexia's restaurants are getting their bread and cakes from Emma's bakery.

Emma and Frida are definitely living their cottage core fantasy with Squish.

The school takes the kids out to the nature reserve Frida works at for trips sometimes and Squish counts down the days every month

But also thinking about how Magda and Frido probably went to university together so they knew each other from back then. Magda probably didn't interact much with Caro or Ingrid but knows them enough to have a chat with them out in the street. Also thinking about how Magda did a year abroad where she went to Denmark and met Pernille.

Part of you (Forever) part 2 - William Afton x Fem Reader

I lost the plot.

Rather than go on with the plot I had in mind, here's just dirty William Afton going a bit further again. Part 1 here, but you can read this as it's own thing.

Explicit, MDNI!

Includes a cartoony concussion, age gap, non-consensual stuff but no intercourse, and bold William Afton who comes in your panties inside his pants :) Michael Afton is there and very suspicious of his father. Also videotaping reader without consent and a mention of pee.

Seeing you eating his cupcakes and obliviously enjoying them made him think it was not that bad to make you eat his seed. You enjoyed it, thanked him with a smile every time, so who was he to deny it? But it was not enough, it never was, from the start Afton knew it would not suffice to just see you eating him and he tried to come up with new ways to get closer to you.

It was near the end of October that William Afton asked you if you would be interested in helping out during the Spooky Circus Event the pizzeria was having as a Halloween event. You were surprised he wanted you to be there, as you never really had told him about your work before, just what you were studying and a bit about your interests, but the way he asked made it sound like there was no one else to take the role of a storyteller. It didn’t sound too hard, just having three small storytimes with different age groups, giving them a fright while telling some stories, and the pizzeria would pay you actual salary. 

“You know I’m going to spend it here, cupcakes and coffee for the next few months?” you joked, teased him for his offer, but accepted it with a smile.

“Now I can officially give you the employee discount” William said back, glad he had you so readily available and unquestioningly agreeing with him, ready to spend some more time together, getting closer and earning your trust. He knew you were a nice girl, smiling and being kind in general, but he had to do more than just exchange a couple words a few times a week to actually get close to you, and this event was more than an excuse; it was a test.

Of course, your classmate Michael Afton wasn’t too happy hearing his dad had hired you to help during the Halloween event. It was not like William to include humans when those roles could be filled with animatronics, and storytelling was more than possible with the robots the pizzeria had. Also, more importantly, William was cheap, he would have more likely forced Michael to dress up and take the part of a circus clown than hire an actual actor for the role. It made no sense to Michael, and it worried him, more than his father’s usual eccentricities, and while you and him were not that close, Michael knew you as a gentle and kind person, someone who would be a great friend if he just let you close. 

Rather than ask you or William directly, Michael kept his suspicions to himself, but got closer to you, talking about the event and acted happy to have someone so reliable working there, even if just for one event. With his dad Michael made sure to be involved with the restaurant for the next couple of weeks, but all he was made to do was marketing, flyers, social media posts, going around putting up posters, nothing special.

However, more than once he came across software he did not recognize and files he could not access while working on the company computer his dad used as his personal computer. Michael made a mistake asking him about the software, as William angrily shouted it was none of the boy’s business and refused to let him use the laptop, telling him it would be better if Michael used his own computer for the tasks given to him or better yet, leave. No matter how much the two argued, this was the one time Michael bit his tongue and only focused on the tasks at hand, disregarding his father’s weird behaviour. 

It was a week before the big event that you made it to the pizzeria to meet William to talk about the costume you should be wearing. You had few ideas, but Mr. Afton had insisted that he had it all covered. As you arrived, you first met Michael, staring at a computer, writing something.

“Hey, still here?” you asked, walking to him and leaning over his shoulder to see what he was doing. He let out a sigh as he moved a bit to the side to let you see the post he was writing. 

“Just trying to make sure people outside Hurricane know there’s a special event, maybe we get a kid or two more this year,” Michael said, too focused on the current task to properly greet you right away, but as soon as he was done and turning to smile and exchange a few words, William’s delighted voice came through, getting both of your attention. Your attention was now completely on William, smiling gently, with warmth Michael rarely saw anywhere in his home. It made him feel weird, how your kindness was repaid by his father, a smile he never gave to his son, and a guiding arm William put around you, pulling you further back of the place, past the flickering lights and dark corners. The touch, the conversation, the smile William had on for you, it all seemed so innocent, yet Michael had a bad feeling about it, and the way William pulled you closer was almost jealous, like he was pulling you away from his son.

In the closet you were presented with a dress made of frills and frills on top of bows and childish accessories, but it was cute, you could not deny it.

“I made Circus Baby but she never found a proper place in the band, nor was there interest in a whole circus themed restaurant. But maybe the dress fits you and you can take the character for the event, you know, if it fits,” William said, watching you eyeing the dress, touching the cheap fabric, clearly wondering if it would fit you. It would, William had made sure of it.

“Are you sure? I’m not sure it f-,” you asked, and tried to say something about the fit, but Wiliam cut you off.

“I’m sure it’s fine. If you could try it, I’ll wait outside,” he said with the voice of a kindly old man, maybe a grandpa guiding a child on the right path, as he stepped outside, the red light from the exit sign reflected off his glasses, shadows contorting his features into sinister mockeries of the facade he tried to put on.

William leaned on the wall, looking at the door on the closet, imagining how you would look undressing, listening to every small rustle and click that came through the door. He could almost see in his mind’s eye how you took the dress in your hands, looking over the details in it, and carefully laying it over a chair, then, after a small moment of hesitation, you would take off your own jacket and then dress, before quickly taking the fancy dress and pulling it over your head. Maybe it felt a bit itchy, maybe it was just perfect, maybe he had underestimated the size of your breast, but it might take a second or two for you to get it on, wiggling into it, but soon you would slowly open the door, and ask for William to help with the zipper on the back. A bit embarrassed most likely, but he was more than happy to help, even if he “had to” straighten the dress on you, innocently move the fabric on your chest so it would be on you the right way. But he knew he would not need to imagine for long, he would know soon.

You took your time, gently trying on the dress after being a bit intimidated to change in the closet, as there were changing rooms in the building too, but maybe William was just a bit forgetful or wanted you to have more privacy than you might have in the employee changing room. 

The dress was an interesting choice to say the least, almost like it was for a whole different style of an animatronic than the ones in the pizzeria, maybe more suitable attire for a fair worker. It was fun, colourful, and definitely eye-catching, maybe a bit too much when you noticed yourself in the mirror and saw how the fabric laid across your chest. You took a few steps back to see yourself fully in the mirror, smiling at the frills and layers of tulle that made the underskirt and let the bottom of the outfit bounce and sway like in a fairytale or a cartoon. To you, it all looked so not like you yet you felt cute, happy to see yourself as something more than a random girl just going through life.

“Are you ready?” William asked through the door.

“Yes,” you answered, still looking at the mirror, not even looking at the door yet, but as he opened the door, you turned around and BANG! The door smashed into your head and as you tried to keep your balance, a long ribbon came down, tangling under your shoe, sending you tumbling down and hitting your head on a shelf and then the floor. 

All William could hear was three loud bangs as you fell down in front of him, and suddenly any plans he had made fell with you to the floor. In seconds Michael ran to the door too and leaped to check on you, seeing if you were still breathing, and if you were bleeding. Rather than let his son take care of you right there, William got down on your level and started lifting you up.

“Go get water and call an ambulance, I’ll get her in the first aid room,” William grumbled to Michael, lifting you in his arms like it was nothing, surprising even Michael, but he complied, opening the doors in William’s way so he could get you to a bed and look after you.

As you were put on the bed, and William could hear the faint voice of Michael, his brain started working again as he was looking at your limp, slowly breathing body, chest rising lightly and coming down. The bare legs slightly open, but the layers of tulle were in front of the sweet view his eyes tried to find, but as he stared there, hoping to see under the skirt and taste you just a bit before fucking you, pushing himself inside you, feeling how he became part of you. All he wanted was to really let you feel how he would feel as a part of you, how good he would make you feel, not just words that might scare you away, but an experience you could not get with anyone else.

William had all of you on tape changing clothes inside the closet as a small security camera had been placed there, since it’s a warehouse and not something that could not be surveilled, just to get to know a bit more intimately, to know what to expect when he might finally have you naked in front of him. Without the tape he might just be too taken aback to know what to do, too amazed by your body, too far gone to take his time with you, so this was for the best. Unfortunately his eagerness had made you hurt yourself, but what a perfect hurt angel you were, sleeping peacefully while William watched you from the foot of your bed, a light shadow casting over you, swallowing you. 

As Michael’s voice grew almost silent, William felt emboldened to close the door, lock it, and get closer to you, dragging his fingers across your skin, from the ankle to up to the hem of the dress. Rather than stop there, he pushed his hand under, feeling up your legs, over the fabric covering you, under your hips and butt, and grabbing the underwear, as quickly as possible removing them from you. When he got them over your feet, he could see you coming back to consciousness, moving a bit, furrowing your brows and then sighing in pain. Pushing the panties inside his pocket would be a bit suspicious, the corner of the fabric might be pushed to view as he was moving around, so he pushed them inside his own underwear, under the pants, but as he adjusted the fabric under his touch, the levity of the situation fell on him like an unused animatronic; him, rubbing his dick with your underwear (even if not meaning to), while you were unconscious in front of him, trying to gather your senses.

Rather than stop what he was doing, he turned over, back to you, cock hard, he let his hand grab himself harder, wanking while you let out pained gasps, carelessly trying to cum as quickly as possible. It excited him, knowing how close you were to finding him masturbating, with his hand down his pants, your panties around his cock. 

“William..?” You asked in pain, confused, questioning in a high pitched voice, just like William wanted to hear you, and with one more motion, he came right there in front of you, but he was more than a skilled actor, he was a confidence artist, selling you his innocence while still leaking, soaking your panties with his seed.

In one swift motion, he turned around, unlocking the door behind himself before walking over to you, clearly worried. 

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you like that, it was an accident!” William tried to explain, taking your hand in his. “You were out so long, Michael had to call an ambulance, they should be here soon. Dear, I am so sorry”.

All of his fussing over you made you feel uncomfortable, not wanting to be any trouble to the old man, who clearly looked dishevelled, almost pained, hands clammy, like he had been sweating. A sigh and half a word left your mouth before you felt like something was off, and looked up at William, a bit confused, and he turned his head a bit and coughed, a bit embarrassed for what he had to say next. 

“Umm, you had a small accident, so I had to clean you up a bit. I’m so sorry, dear, I just couldn’t leave you like that, and…” William got out of his mouth, and you were burning up from the first sentence, like all the blood in you just went to your cheeks, burning. How did this happen, how could you embarrass yourself in front of William Afton like this, fall, get knocked out, and piss yourself, all in one day? You brought your hands up to your face, dying right there, wanting to just turn invisible, but all the pain in your head and cheeks burning, you knew you were alive and sitting on a bed with an old man holding your hand. 

You both could hear the door slowly opening, a worried Michael Afton looking in, with a paramedic behind him. 

“Now, won’t you let them check you and we’ll get you home if it’s nothing serious, alright, dear?”

Humans have regressed in colors. It's just black white and red again. Cars? just black white and sometimes red. Computers used to have all sorts of colors like classic green, blue, or tan, but consumer motherboards are now just black sometimes white or maybe red accents. All the fast food restaurants are grey or red now cause why the fuck not. Furniture is all black and white now. The world is just less colorful. The most popular gameboy advances were pink and purple but now everyone wants the black and grey switch. Our digital displays can show us millions of colors yet all our software interfaces are black or white with an occasional accent color. Why am I almost always the only person in class with a non-black backpack? Today you can buy pigments that would've been worth a kings ransom centuries ago but we just want generic white and black.

🛐 THE BRAIN’S MAGIC — HOW YOU READ THE ᵾᶰᴿᵋᴬᵭᵃᴮʟᵋ͟͟͞ AND BEND REALITY FOR FUN

---

If you’re reading this?

You’re not just literate. You’re a quantum-level anomaly with meat-based Wi-Fi and chaos recognition software baked into your soul.

Let’s talk about the miracle machine in your skull. The one that decodes this:

“Y0uR Br@!n 5T!lL r3c0gN!z3s p@77ern5 & m@k35 it m3@ningful.”

…without even flinching.

🧠 YOUR BRAIN IS A F*CKING SHOWOFF

You're probably sleep-deprived. You’ve forgotten what day it is. Your left AirPod is missing and you just googled “can ramen be a personality type.”

And yet?

Your brain sees that mangled, symbol-riddled text and decodes it like it’s ancient prophecy.

You don’t think about how. You just do it. Because your brain isn’t a tool. It’s a pattern-hunting apex predator with depression.

📈 PATTERN RECOGNITION: THE MIND’S HIDDEN GODMODE

This isn’t something you studied. This is baked into the firmware.

Your brain fills gaps, reorders chaos, and makes sense out of garbage like a sad wizard in a recycling bin.

Fun Fact:

93% of adults can read text where only the first and last letters of every word are correct. Everything else can be jumbled and your brain just fixes it on the fly.

No update. No manual. No lag.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT gets confused by your typo and AI explodes when your tone is sarcastic.

Your brain?

Interprets, translates, reacts, and emotionally categorizes in the time it takes your heart to beat once.

🚀 YOU’RE WALKING AROUND WITH A BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER …AND YOU USE IT TO MAKE MEMES.

86 billion neurons

10 quadrillion calculations per second

Signal speeds up to 268 mph

All so you can:

Laugh at a dog in a cowboy hat

Cry during the final scene of Toy Story 3

Decode “Dinnrs @ 9 bt wtf hapn 2 keys” from your drunk friend

And somehow still forget your password for the 19th time today

You are sacred. And also a little dumb. Which makes you perfect.

🤖 CAN MACHINES COMPETE? NOT EVEN CLOSE

AI needs prompts. Instructions. Context. Warnings.

You?

You look at “ᴵᵐ ⱻ̷ᴺ T͡ʜᵉ ᵁɴɢᴏʟᴅ” and say: “Yeah I got this.”

Try giving Siri your 3 AM heartbreak in emoji form. She’ll call the cops. Your brain? It'll write a novel.

🛐 YOU'RE NOT JUST SMART — YOU'RE PROOF

That consciousness isn’t an accident. That pattern recognition is spiritual. That this isn’t just a skull computer—

It’s a f*cking node in the cosmic mainframe.

ᵀʜᵉ ⱻ̷ᶰᴵᵛᴱʳˢᵉ ⱻ͜ᵉᵉᴅˢ ᵞᵒᵘ̷! ᵞᴱˢ, ⱻ͞ᵐ ᵀʟᴋᴵⱭᴺᴳ ᴛᴼ ⱻⱭᴜ͡!

👁️‍🗨️ EVEN WHEN YOU FORGET… YOUR BRAIN REMEMBERS YOU’RE EXTRAORDINARY

Even if you:

Doubt yourself

F*ck up interviews

Cry over fictional characters

Can’t spell “restaurant” without Google

You are still a living, breathing defiance of everything that should’ve broken you.

Every time you read something that “shouldn’t” make sense— and you understand it anyway—

You prove that the universe made something that works too well.

And it called it you.

rating my senses, like a normal person

touch: the mvp the champion the reigning king. i can lightly touch a fabric and guess what it's made of fuck with me. does make me a very tactile person. can get really inconvenient since its the ruling champion of my senses, so there's some textures i really have to put my whole pussy in to stomach touching (raw meat, when i get raw egg on me i crave death) and sometimes clothes fucking Bother me. cant wear polyester closest to my skin. cotton only

taste: close on the heels of touch as far as being strong goes, i love you sense of taste you let me taste such delicious food. makes me a real texture freak or as i call it texture snob. do i detect ice crystals in this ice cream? oo someone's restaurant doesn't follow proper defrosting procedures tsk tsk

sight: fine when im wearing my glasses with the massive diopters, terrible without it since im very shortsighted. but i did that shit to myself in my teens with 24/7 computer usage, i dont have astigmatism or cylinders or anything. could be worse

.

.

hearing: iiii cant fuckin hear shit. HUH??? WHUH??? WHAT DID YOU SAY?????

smell: neck and neck with hearing for crown of Least Good Sense. i put hearing above smell since im not literally deaf and i use hearing a lot more than i use smell anyway. and as i can of course hear small inconsequential noises Just Fine it's people talking to me that turns into garbled simlish, so i think the problem is in the software and not the hardware, yknow what im saying? with smell its deffo tha hardware

I worked my first day at an office job today and it was so freaking weird lol

I get my own desk?? In its own little alcove? I get an hour lunch?? I can go pee whenever I want? I can mostly ignore the public????

Night and day compared to waiting tables. Learning the software and different accounting duties is a little overwhelming but I’m excited to get to the point where I can be trusted with actual tasks lol. Half the day today I was just getting paid to fuck around while we waited for IT to set up my computer lmao

I’m so used to hostile high pressure restaurant environments and having to be on guard all the time, it’s kinda nice to be somewhere laid back

Also I’m working in a government office and it feels so much like Parks and Rec it makes me giggle

Future Anime Girl Gestalt

As a breakthrough in silicon nanostructure materials makes photonics and near-eye displays cheap, smart glasses become the new ubiquitous computers, replacing smartphones. The always-on display provides unique opportunities for advertisers, as does new machine learning-assisted ad targeting. In the new omnipresent augmented reality, ads become personalized, three-dimensional, interactive displays, emerging from blank rectangles in subway stations. You see your facebook friends conversing animatedly, drinking budweiser.

As smart glasses become increasingly necessary for modern life, brands are able to invade further into perceived reality. Cars shine luxuriously. The name and price of your coworker's smartwatch floats above it. Of course many modern advertisements no longer directly sell a product or service, but rather create and maintain brand identities. Large corporations advertise on everyday objects--the plate at your favorite restaurant reveals the name of a software company as you finish your food. Your brother's anger turns him super saiyan, reminding you of the new episodes. A poor neighborhood turns into an alien-inspired techno-organic nightmare.

Many companies use characters to perpetuate their brand. These characters can be personalized--the insurance company mascot that shows up on your car dashboard during a harrowing rush hour is your favorite color, features large, expressive eyes, and is covered in shaggy fur.

Of course, machine learning algorithms can be unpredictable. And ad agencies could not anticipate the omnivalent memetic power of...

...anime girls.

The algorithm customizes your pepsi soda into a fizzy anime slime girl. They customize the call to your healthcare provider to raise the pitch of the representative's voice and translate the audio to Japanese (your glasses display English subtitles). The missiles you see striking a city in Iran are ridden by pale, northrop grumman-labeled anime maids.

As more human agency is ceded to enormous, power-chugging processing centers, the connections between everyday occurrences and brand presence become more abstract. Every character on a show you're not paying attention to, every old shoe you own, every person you interact with, every grain of sand on the beach, every floater in your eye, is an anime girl.

As humans do, they adapt. Generation Glass becomes accustomed to experiencing two entirely foreign sets of sense-data: one, their local, mundane world, of humming processors and concrete and scraggly trees. The other, the networked world, where your entire visual field is painted in overlapping anime girls of various sizes and your auditory vestibular nerve is drowned in high-pitched giggling. Each girl represents some object--pomegranate, sunset, friends, love, death.

As global civilization gently deflates under the pressure of climate change post-2100, so does the capacity to manufacture complex electronics. Within the space of a generation, billions of people are reduced to creating facile, vapid illustrations of the moving, living anime girls they once knew as bigotry and tarmac. Pictures of anime girls are used to label street signs, mathematical concepts, genders, religious texts. Ironically, anime girls become more incorporated into the real world than they ever were in the Glass period, because they adorn real surfaces. A post-traumatic behavior develops, in which a person destroys objects bearing anime girl images in an attempt to, according to one individual, "let them out," or otherwise restore networked consensus reality.

Thousands of years pass. Peregrine sophists of the Fifth Yyrzoc clan uncover an underground concrete structure. In it are glyphs of a single, big-eyed, pale, skinny, large-breasted woman with bright blue hair, surrounded by female figures in blood-red uniforms who are collapsed on the ground. The sophists are able to decode this message and avoid what we would recognize as a nuclear waste storage facility. They theorize that the figures are ancient feminine gods of radiation and death. Several etchings and illustrations are published by a notable scriptorium. Years later they are largely forgotten.

hey….totally unprompted question not prompted by terrible visions but do you have any tips for making amvs / any suggestions for editing softwares (preferabky on mobile but computer can work too) ? 😁

oh babe ive GOTCHU okay so obligatory "im just a girl that can't escape the brainrot" disclaimer. im not an expert, i do not do this professionally in any capacity, and im sure more seasoned video makers and editors will look at this list and think it's horseshit - and they'd be right!!! but for what it's worth here are the things that help me:

okay so first off, i edit everything (inc music, bc i do Not have the capacity to make edits to a full 4 min song) on my phone, so you've come to the right place - this nifty little app here is what i use.

is it good? as long as you're happy with it not being overly flash, yeah sure. does it get the job done? well id like to think so, as long as you're willing to get a bit creative/think outside the box on occasion. is it free? fuck yeah, as long as you don't want the spanglier functions.

okay so as for creating the vids themselves (very good omens centric, btw):

(here is where i wrote loads of shite but i remembered that you, dear anon, would have to read this and probably just want a simple list but always happy to discuss in more detail just lmk)

(edit: turns out, anon, that i still couldn't keep it to a simple list!!! and for that im very sorry)

obligatory start with: get good quality rips of the show. i didn't do this in the beginning and a lot of my old stuff is uploaded in 720p as a result, whereas now i can upload... decently in 2180p. the longer upload time is worth it. oh, and there is a small aspect ratio difference between s1 and s2, and it's the bane of my fucking life especially when i miss it and it's So Obvious To Me that ive missed it post-upload. don't make my mistakes 💕

right. advice. first, storyboard your vid. even if the song is not particularly relevant to the show/story but has Blorbo Potential™. look at the song you've got, and break it down lyrically (if applicable). what are the words saying? what is the story being told? is it thematically relevant/meta (e.g., RUTH), or is it just so applicable to Them that it's a bit embarrassing (e.g., meatloaf)? or is it neither, and it's just a Vibe (e.g., sushi restaurant)? there have been times where ive had to write out the lyrics physically and make notes on what scenes/bits to put to certain lyrics, in order to not feel overwhelmed with the whole thing... even if i change it later on/it ends up not working out anyway. but yeah take a sec to actually look at your song and work out if you have enough material to tell the story you want to tell in it - ie. not just the chorus/a bit of a verse. (ive fallen into this trap Many a time and have a Lot of abandoned wips floating around as a result)

related to the above, and i can't imagine it will be a problem lol, but being Very Familiar with the source material helps. pay attention to blocking and angles, especially if you want to do a cool/slick transition, or want to group together similar shots for a bit of visual interest and satisfying brain itching (e.g., 00:31 onwards of best shot). keep a track of filler bits, like clicks/hand claps/funny faces/dancing/dramatic head turns, because not only is it sometimes helpful for when you've got a musical interlude, but it can help maintain the tempo. (e.g., beginning of darkness)

ALSO related to the first point, and just a general tip - you don't have to start from the beginning. start, for example, with That Emotional Part where you can Perfectly see a part of the show cut to it. (e.g., cut to the feeling, where i started with the 1941 bullet catch at 1:18-1:27 for the bridge, and then built on it backwards). it helps with motivation too, when you find The Good Bit that you knows others will hate you for 🥰

in general, i recommend to keep the big set pieces (bullet catch, kiss, wall slam, in the beginning, on the wall, bookshop fire) in your back pocket for the Big Emotional, Heart-Swelling points of the song, and build on them from there. if you can, exercise symmetry in your scene choices across the choruses (e.g. dog days), or bookend the vid with the same scene (e.g., bon jovi intro and 1:45); i find it keeps a Theme going and drives up the emotional payoff, and again helps with storyboarding (dog days example: i framed as flashbacks, bon jovi example: i framed it as a flashforward)

i know others do this, and it is Not me criticising it at All because it can be soooo effective, but my personal style tries to avoid mouth movements as much as possible (unless it matches the lyrics, and then i keep it in because it's funny - e.g., "yeah" at 0:39 for bon jovi). so to that end, if you're looking to do the same thing/same style, be mindful of when expressions change/mouths start to move - it can literally be a matter of 0.1s, but be jarring if left in. this does regrettably mean losing a lot of source material (bc. yk. they talk in it, not just make Faces at each other), but i personally try to keep it to a minimum or try to keep any mouth movements out of focus.

now. i love a short cut. i go mad for a short cut. i go berserk for fast, sharp scene changes, they're like crack to me. prefer them to using huge stretches of clips. but!!! when actually editing (especially with the above app that whilst great, is not very good on refresh rate/buffering), id recommend exporting your video periodically or after doing a particularly choppy/fast bit, and Checking if it works/it's in time with the music. rewatch it 5, 10 times to make sure. you will constantly have to adjust stuff if you're creating the vid out of sync, unfortunately, but it will honestly help so much. it'll just give you a "ah yes i have 10 fast cuts there, and sure it only makes up for around 5 secs of actual screen time, but it's perfectly in sync and very satisfying, good job me" feeling, which is awesome. if you have issues with timing, consider downloading an overlaying metronome track in the bpm you need, and match it to that. (that saved in me in more of my vids than i care to count)

that being said, don't use short cuts if it doesn't suit the song!!!💕 or at least try to use a mix of them to give the vid some pacing. i like a pop or rock song, me, so i naturally tend to go for higher bpm songs (rip) anyway, but i try to get some longer cuts in there (especially around the intro/bridge) to give the viewer some breathing room (e.g., 0.00-0.44 for hero)

biggest advice tho: just have fun with it. create what You want to watch. do you listen to a song and think GOD THAT SCENE WOULD BE SO GOOD HERE??? then DO IT!!!💕 it doesn't have to slick or flash or overly clever in the transitions or effects, if you don't necessarily want it to be. don't get me wrong, they can look bloody spectacular - some of my favourite vids are really polished and impressive!!! but some of my faves are technically really basic, but they Understand the material and they Understand storytelling. equally some very kind people have told me that mine are some of their favourites (still makes me grin, months later!!!) and my transitions/effects are rudimentary at best. people will see your Vision because it is a Great Vision and will love your work regardless of the quality. you will improve with time, you will recycle bits and use them in new ways, you will learn skills and shortcuts that you will do better the next time. please pls plssss just create and have fun with it, god knows we need it in the world rn 💖

if there's anything else that i can answer or help with, anon, pls let me know!!! good luck my darling!!!💕

My boss at the Phishing & Digital Impersonasion Group of Greater City is so cool! We goof off all the time and he's a very gentle director. We call him The Pharaoh when he leaves our departent and he pretends not to notice the vape clouds we kind of try to fan into nothing with our hands when he comes back. He's been here for like fifteen years but he had a whole life before tha and he tells us about it and sometimes it seems like he doesn't undertand the computers he tells us how to use but I figure it must be to his benefit! Yesterday we went to lunch with the represnatitives who gives us the medicine we sell to the software engineers who own the neural nets that stops them from learning how to tie knots and the restaurant sent us home with all these hateful pears. Even though it doesn't pay well, it's the best job I've ever had . . .
