She remembers that it started as a tickle in the back of her throat that very first day. At the time, she was too hopped up on adrenaline and excitement to even think much of it. Still, the way that Kamui Woods had looked at her, that slight nod, the hunched up bunch of his shoulders as he'd begrudgingly offered her a "congrats" was hard to ignore.

It's like there'd been a sprout in the back of her throat, as if her whole body knew the moment that she laid eyes on him that he was going to be the source of all of her problems and all of her joys.

Everytime they see each other, it comes back. A little tickle, a little brush. Yuu fights to clear her throat as she watches the layers of "Kamui Woods" and then Shinji peeled away. From the man she teases to the colleague she looks up to. That tickling only grows until it's almost like a constant twitch at the back of her throat if he's in the room with her. For a little while, she's almost convinced she's allergic to him.

Then he has the audacity to look her in the eyes, to hold a hand on her bicep, call her an admirable heroine and say that he'd be honoured to work with her. Yuu remembers the intensity of his stare, the first real glimpse of the man who was behind the mask. And Yuu was helpless to do anything other than nod. She doesn't remember what she said, but she knows after the fact that that little sprout in her chest had started to bloom.

After, she finds herself clearing her throat, coughing when he looks her way, when he calls her attention.

The first time he calls her 'Yuu', she tastes the earth on her tongue. It's sweet like molasses and bitter like dirt.

When he holds her tight when her own anxiety comes to a crest that she's bursting from the eyes, the bloom faces towards him, seeking out the brightest thing in her life.

Then there's the night sitting with him alone in the darkened agency. She's staring at him and suddenly feels like she's staring at the sun. Shinji is so warm and bright, in his element for the moment. How far they've come, him without his mask, leant back into the little sofa in her office, waxing on, Yuu with her glasses on and her legs across his lap. She says something so casually, the heavens help her, she can't even remember what it is, but Shinji snorts.

Not even a laugh. A snort. It's rude and loud and... and Yuu finds herself just staring as Shinji dissolves. He's so beautiful, even in this horrible light, his laughter sounds like music, and suddenly Yuu can't catch her breath.

She coughs and hacks and it makes Shinji stop, hands out towards her. Everything in her curls towards his warmth, but even then, Yuu waves him off. Draining her water bottle seems to do the trick, though neither of them are able to see the solitary yellow petal that escapes into the hard plastic. It isn't until later when she's cleaning it out that she even notices it, now thought nothing more than a fluke.

She passes it off with excuse after excuse after excuse for the longest time. Hell, even once when he asks her, she makes the joke that she might be allergic to all that hardwood and the way he responded, earnest and ready to put miles of distance between them makes her chest ache. She knows it's another growth in her lungs and all Yuu can do is promise she'll be okay because even the very idea of being away from him now might just kill her.

She knows what it is when the petite yellow petals start to appear with such frequency. Still, she grins and bares past it, hoping for a little while longer that she can put it all off. More than that, selfishly, there's this thought, this inkling of an idea that enough time might...

Then there's Kiego.

It's seeing the writing on the wall when Shinji comes back almost dizzy after a patrol and there's a red feather clinging to his uniform. Her name is on his lips and for every time Yuu hearing her own name made her float, this drags her back down to the earth with such speed, Yuu swears she might have real bruises. Yet for every nail in her coffin, for every not blood-stained petal that slips into her coffee and food and she finds on her pillow come the morning, seeing him smile fills her with something otherworldly. How she wishes she could imprint that image behind her eyes to stare at it all the time.

His voice sounds so lovely, wrapped up in conversation when he speaks to Keigo, enough that Yuu manages to keep herself in check even as she shakes against the feeling. Yuu knows it before Shinji does, she's sure of that much.

It's why she shouldn't be surprised coming in to the agency on her day off to see them wrapped around each other. Keigo towers above Shinji and yet she's still hanging off of him. He holds her like he never wants to let go and it nearly makes Yuu crumble on the spot. They spring away from each other when she steps up to them, though she's quick to promise it's okay, squeezing by long enough to head towards her own office, now at a clip.

She can hear the laughter in her ears even once she's on a separate floor form them. No matter what else she feels, that otherwordly anger, that overwhelming dispair, that earthshattering delight.

The moment that the door to her office shuts, Yuu collapses to the floor. Curled up under her desk with her knees to her chest, Yuu is caught between sobs and coughs, hands pressed to her mouth. The rate that petals, leaves, and full blooms are forming around her, Yuu might actually be in some bastardized meadow. Each are tinged with red, even black in some places, her throat now raw that each breath makes her want to scream in agony. Finally, she looks down at them all, the arrangement of yellow and green and brown still manage to look so bright, rivaling the smile on Kiego and Shinji's faces and... even as Yuu's breathing gets harder, her teeth clenched together as she gags around what feels like a whole plant. Tears are rolling down her cheeks as she works through it all. It takes maybe hours to work it out, until she's shaking, looking at her own palms, stained now with blood. But now, between them, looking so painfully out of place, tinged with blood and saliva as it is, is the second most beautful sunflower she's ever laid eyes on, a promise that, if nothing else, at least her Sunflower is happy.

MATERIAL DIDATICO

Relatório para Investidores: Potencial de uma Nova Rede Social em um Mercado Dominado pela Meta

Resumo Executivo

A Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) mantém hegemonia no mercado de redes sociais, com 3,9 bilhões de usuários ativos mensais e receita de US$ 116,6 bilhões em 2023. No entanto, mudanças nas preferências dos usuários, avanços tecnológicos (Web3, IA) e insatisfação com centralização criam oportunidades para novas plataformas. Este relatório avalia a viabilidade de uma rede social inovadora competir com a Meta, destacando estratégias, riscos e projeções.

Análise de Mercado

Crescimento do Setor:

O mercado global de redes sociais vale US$ 231,1 bilhões (2023) e cresce 8,5% ao ano (Statista).

Geração Z e Millennials (48% da população global) demandam maior controle sobre dados e monetização direta.

Tendências Emergentes:

Web3: 42% dos criadores preferem plataformas com NFTs e micropagamentos (Deloitte, 2023).

IA Generativa: Ferramentas como GPT-4 e Midjourney estão redefinindo a criação de conteúdo.

Privacidade: 67% dos usuários desconfiam de redes tradicionais (Pew Research).

Lacunas na Oferta Atual:

Taxas elevadas para criadores (até 45% no Instagram Shopping).

Algoritmos opacos e dependência excessiva de anúncios.

Análise da Concorrência: Pontos Fracos da Meta

FatorMetaOportunidade para Novos EntrantesModelo de Receita 98% dependente de anúncios Monetização via Web3 (NFTs, assinaturas, taxas de transação) Engajamento de Jovens Instagram perde 2% de usuários <25 anos/ano Plataformas nichadas (ex: arte digital, jogos) Privacidade Histórico de vazamentos (Cambridge Analytica) Criptografia E2E e dados armazenados em blockchain Inovação Metaverso (Horizon Worlds) subutilizado Integração IA + Web3 para personalização radical

Proposta de Valor da Nova Rede Social

Descentralização e Propriedade:

Usuários controlam dados via NFTs de perfil e conteúdo.

Royalties automáticos para criadores via smart contracts (padrão EIP-2981).

Monetização Direta:

Micropagamentos em stablecoins (USDC, PYUSD) e PIX.

Taxas de plataforma: 5% (vs. 30-45% da Meta).

Experiência Personalizada:

Feed algorítmico configurável pelo usuário (cronológico, temático, engajamento).

Assistentes de IA para criação de conteúdo e curadoria.

Estratégia de Entrada no Mercado

Foco em Nichos Específicos:

Fase 1 (Ano 1): Artistas digitais, colecionadores de NFTs e comunidades de jogos (Web3).

Fase 2 (Ano 2): Expansão para microempreendedores e educadores.

Parcerias Estratégicas:

Integração com carteiras digitais (MetaMask, Trust Wallet) e marketplaces (OpenSea).

Acordos com fintechs (Nubank, Mercado Pago) para conversão fiat-cripto.

Growth Hacking:

Programa de recompensas em tokens para usuários que convidarem amigos.

Eventos ao vivo com criadores em plataformas como Twitch e Discord.

Riscos e Mitigações

RiscoMitigação Aquisição de usuários lenta Foco em nichos de early adopters (Web3, arte digital) Regulação de criptomoedas Parcerias com bancos para compliance (ex: Circle, Binance) Replicação pela Meta Patentes de algoritmos e foco em descentralização (dificulta cópia) Dependência de tecnologia Web3 Fallback em infraestrutura Web2 (AWS, Google Cloud)

Projeções Financeiras (5 Anos)

MetricaAno 1Ano 3Ano 5Usuários Ativos (M) 1,2 8,5 25,0 Receita Anual (US$ M) 15 (assinaturas) 220 (taxas + NFT) 950 (publicidade contextual) Custos Operacionais 50 180 400 EBITDA -35 +40 +550

Conclusão e Recomendação

A Meta domina o mercado, mas sua dependência de anúncios e centralização criam vulnerabilidades. Uma nova rede social baseada em Web3, monetização direta e controle do usuário tem potencial para capturar 5-10% do mercado em 5 anos (US$ 12-23 bilhões).

Por que Investir?

Mercado em transformação: Web3 e IA estão redefinindo as interações sociais.

First-mover advantage: Poucas plataformas combinam descentralização e UX simplificada.

Retorno potencial: EBITDA positivo a partir do Ano 3, com margens crescentes.

Próximos Passos:

Captação de US$ 50 milhões para desenvolvimento técnico e aquisição de usuários iniciais.

Parcerias com criadores globais (ex: Beeple, Grimes) para atrair comunidades.

Anexos:

Detalhamento técnico da arquitetura Web2-Web3.

Estudo de caso: Crescimento do TikTok (2016-2023).

Contatos de equipe e advisors (especialistas em blockchain, ex-executivos de redes sociais).

Assinatura: [Nome da Empresa] Redefinindo a economia criativa, um bloco de cada vez.

Julie vs. Unemployment: Chamber's Solution

Julie had been working for Chamber for over a year now.

At first, the job had been a challenge. There were high expectations, endless tasks, and a boss who was equal parts demanding and insufferably flirtatious.

But now?

She had just finished three months’ worth of work.

She had nothing left to do.

She leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling.

Then, with great dramatic flair, she dropped her head onto Chamber’s desk.

“…I’m unemployed.”

Chamber, who was typing away at his laptop, barely glanced up. “Non, you are not.”

“I feel unemployed.”

“Impossible. You work for me.”

“I have no work.”

“Then I shall give you some.”

Julie perked up. Finally! A task! Something to do! Maybe something important—maybe even something exciting!

Chamber smirked. “Clear out my emails.”

Julie’s hope died instantly.

She squinted at him. “That’s it?”

“And sort through the spam. See if there’s anything important.”

She pulled his monitor toward her and immediately froze.

“…Chamber.”

“Oui?”

“…You have 189,243 unread emails.”

“Good.”

Julie stared at him.

This was a punishment.

Julie vs. Chamber’s Spam Folder

Fine. Whatever. She could handle this.

She cracked her knuckles.

Spam. Delete. Obvious scam. Delete. Suspicious email about “miracle hair growth serum”? Delete.

Then she paused.

There were so many emails from women.

She clicked on one.

Half-naked photos. Explicit messages. Propositions.

Her eyelid twitched.

“…Chamber.”

“Oui?”

She glared. “What the hell is this?”

He didn’t even look up. “Fan mail.”

Julie gave him the dirtiest look possible.

She did not have time for this.

So she made a folder and labeled it “Chamber’s Groupies.”

Then she noticed something worse.

Emails about ‘adventures’ with Chamber.

She threw those into another folder titled “Chamber’s Romantic Crimes.”

Then—

She spotted emails with her name in the subject.

Her brows furrowed.

“…What?”

She clicked on one—

And before she could react, Chamber was suddenly behind her.

He yanked the chair away from the desk, pulling her up and out of the seat.

Julie stumbled into his chest, eyes wide.

Chamber had never been this forceful.

“Chamber?!”

His usual smirk? Gone.

His eyes darkened.

With a few swift keystrokes, he exited the email, shut down the monitor, and placed both hands on the desk—caging her in.

Julie’s heart pounded.

“…What the hell was in there?”

His lips curled slightly, but it wasn’t his usual smirk. It was something deeper.

“Nothing you need to concern yourself with, ma chérie.”

Bullshit.

Absolute bullshit.

She would find out.

***********

What Was in Chamber’s Emails?

Julie wasn’t stupid.

If Chamber reacted this fast, this strongly—then whatever was in that email was serious.

Her mind raced.

What could it be?

Her pictures? But why would he have them hidden there?

A blackmail info? He would totally do that.

…Selling her pictures to Luca? W H A T

He did not look away.

“What,” she said slowly, “was in that email?”

Chamber sighed.

Then he did the worst possible thing.

He cupped her face.

His touch was gentle. Deliberate. A distraction.

“Ma chérie,” he murmured, voice low. “You have always been so clever.”

Her stomach flipped.

Not because of the touch—but because of what it meant.

She was right.

There was something in that email.

Something about her.

“…You’re not gonna tell me, are you?” she muttered.

His thumb brushed her cheek. “No.”

Bullshit.

Julie pushed him off.

Fine. Fine. If he wasn’t going to tell her—

She’d find out herself.

—

She whipped around to the computer.

Clicked.

Nothing.

Clicked again.

Still nothing.

Her heart pounded. Chamber had yanked her away so fast—had he closed it? Deleted it?!

“You—” she started to growl, but—

Chamber was already smiling.

Amused. Patient. Like he had all the time in the world.

“Ma chérie,” he said smoothly, “I am a professional.”

Her eye twitched.

Of course. Of course.

This was Chamber.

The man who designed his own weapons.

The man who hacked into Kingdom’s security.

The man who probably had 50 backup drives hidden in his office.

Julie had no chance.

“…You bastard,” she muttered.

Chamber chuckled. “A charming one, no?”

Chiroptophobia: the Fear of Bats.

Bruce Wayne is Scared of Bats. This is a Canon Fact.

In a difference from canon, Batman pretends to actually BE a bat man.

(Again, “Loading and Aspect Ratio” by JUBE514 situation with fake wings. Please go read it I love it so much.)

Bruce turns himself into a physical manifestation of his personal worst nightmares, and sets out to be a street cryptid. People see him flinching from bright lights and loud noises (he hasn’t slept in three days and he really hates guns) twitching weirdly (testing his wings function/stimming) not fully understanding human social niceties (you cannot tell me this man isn't Autistic) and, duh, wings, and go ah yes this being is Inhuman.

However, people KNOW Brucie Wayne™ is petrified of bats. There was an incident at a party when one flew through a window, another at a zoo, there was this one time Manbat showed up and he practically teleported away. No one saw him for a whole month, even after Batman had captured Manbat. (He got injured in the fight.)

By extension, this means that Bruce Wayne is afraid of Batman. Just- absolutely terrified of him. No ones seen them in the same place. Ever. Bruce Wayne actually publicly refuses to even believe in the cryptid for YEARS past when he's already been proven to exist.

When the Justice League gets called in to protect Bruce and his smattering of children from some plot (batman conspicuously absent, despite Gotham being his territory) Bruce straight up tells the league that he doesn’t believe in Batman, and he feels much safer with “real heroes” rather than “a urban legend spawned from overdramatic furries and gang wars.”

The justice league is, obviously, confused.

Certified little shits Dick, Jason, and Tim, (because we’re going with JUBE514’s canon and jason doesn’t die they’re all brothers f off-)

ANYWAYS: Certified Little Shits Dick, Jason, and Tim, ready for chaos/solidifying secret identities: “Don’t worry! We believe in batman! We saw him!” :D

They then proceed to tell the justice league that Bruce HAS met Batman, but he has a phobia of bats, so when Batman saved them at a gala Bruce screamed so loud and shrill he threw off the bat-hearing and then punched batman in the face so hard he knocked him out cold, grabbed then-baby Jason and ran. (Nightwing and the second Robin had to HEROICALLY rescue a dazed Batman, Dick saw it with his own eyes!)

Bruce was so scared of the bat coming to take revenge that he jumped at every shadow for a whole month. Why, Jason, (who was younger then) had slept in Bruce's bed to keep him safe! (Dick is crooning about his cute little brother. Jason, who is hitting his growth spurt and not a little kid anymore, is infinitely embarrassed.) Right now, Brucie has settled into firmly denying Batman’s entire existence so that he can sleep soundly at night.

“Why is he so scared of bats?” The Justice League is wondering. Oh, they are so glad they asked!

“Alfred told us a story once,” Dick says, eyes wide and innocent as he prepares to lie through his fucking teeth, “that when Bruce was little, really little, he got trapped in a cave filled with bats, and his dad had to come rescue him. Apparently, Little Bruce had been crying about a massive bat, even bigger than he was, with glowing red eyes and human hands and (gasp) wait oh my goodness gracious what if that was the BATMAN :0”

“The baby batman.” Jadon adds.

“Batboy?” Tim wonders.

“Alfred, do you think Bruce met Batman when they were little?” Dick asks.

“I believe,” Alfred “the greatest enabler” Pennyworth hums, offering fresh baked scones to thier gleeful audience, “that Master Bruce referred to what he saw as ‘the bat king’ and reported seeing him outside his window several times over the years.”

“Maybe it really was him! Will you ask Batman for us?” Tim asks, already planning to hack the watchtower cameras and set up some popcorn with his brothers.

The Justice League, who have learned more about the Batman in one conversation than they have over MANY years of working together, tell the Wayne children that it will be their Genuine Pleasure to quiz batman on his interactions with BRUCIE WAYNE who has, apparently, laid batman out cold with one punch.

Alfred adds on that he personally thinks the Batman is being rather courteous to Master Bruce, as “bat king” sightings were after “difficult times” and he doesn’t come near the manor otherwise, as robin had been the one to return some family heirlooms that one time they were stolen. He calls the batman and his robins “polite young gentlemen” and then leaves.

But now the gears are turning in the justice leagues heads. Batman? Courteous? Polite? Batman is not Courteous or Polite. Not unless something else is going on.

Now. From their point of view. Batman lives in the cave systems under the richest houses in Gotham, Phantom of the Opera style, hiding his meta form (because this batman is playing cryptid really well. Maybe he was a mutant baby of some Rich Gothamites, who threw him into the caves in shame!) He’s been watching Bruce Wayne, likely as he struggled with the highly reported on demise of his parents, seeing the effects that crime had on the boy that fell into his cave all those years ago. Batman has always been so protective of children, so hateful of guns, obviously the Wayne tragedy is part of what motivates him. He loves Gotham dearly, territorial of it to the point of keeping other heroes out, and yet he breaks that rule here, for Gotham's prince, solely for Bruce’s comfort.

Bruce, another person who obviously loves the city of Gotham just as much, putting millions into charity and relief efforts. Who is clearly very protective of his children, even if he usually has no spine, to the point of attacking his greatest fear to keep then safe, and good enough to land a hit, even. (Bruce Wayne is also considerably attractive.)

Its all so clear to the Justice League: Batman is madly in love with Bruce Wayne. Has been for years. To the point of watching him sleep, on occasion. How very tragic! Batman, in love with someone he can never be with! Not only would it paint a massive target on Bruce’s back if they ever did get together- there’s no questioning what Gotham villains would do if they discovered this, (and denying himself love out of an attempt to keep others safe is EXACTLY the kind of self-sacrificing nonsense Batman would pull) But Batman can’t even truly see the man he’s in love with without Brucie running away in terror! Well, the poor guy… how sad…

This conclusion can be supported by the following evidence-

Batman being the one to catch the guy who put the hit out on Bruce. He sent them to babysit/make sure Bruce was safe while dealt with the actual threat. (Bruce had a suspiciously long bathroom break/a nap)

Batman’s first appearance being right after Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham. Was the bat following him to protect him in those missing years? Or maybe he decided to clean up the city now that his beloved had returned?

Batman always being seen near where Bruce is. He’s never once been at the watchtower when Bruce has a public appearance- he must be watching over him, a silent guardian in case someone gets it in their head to kidnap Gotham’s Prince.

Batman insisting that Bruce is innocent in a corporate scheme, despite evidence to the contrary. (Hes right in the end, of course, but they’ve never seen him ignore evidence so clear.)

Batman casually referencing Wayne Tech/Foundation inner workings- he keeps an eye on them, of course. (If he can’t be close to the object of his affections, the league reasons, of course he’d make sure that Bruce’s company and projects are on the right track)

Nightwing, when asked, confirms the Bruce Punching Batman story. He says “honestly I think B was impressed! Caught him off guard!” (Since when does Batman lower his guard? Only when he’d be… distracted, perhaps…)

Superman saves Bruce, who thanks him with a kiss on the cheek. Later, justice league was teasing Clark, batman huffs and leaves the room. He’s CLEARLY jealous! Superman feels just awful!

Batman inexplicably knowing social dances/high society manners- he must have learned by watching (stalking) bruce! He can navigate high profile talk if he wants to, he just doesn’t want to most of the time. but if the situation calls for it he can talk like the Richest of Pricks in a way that only comes with observation.

Batman bristling when some of the league members start making Comments on Brucie Wayne’s Physical Attributes. (Jealousy? Defensiveness? Perhaps… embarrassment at GL’s detailed explanation on what he’d do with a chance in bed with Brucie.)

Batman absolutely freezing up when confronted with any of the above evidence. (He’s trying SO HARD not to laugh/go tell his kids)

Dick/Jason being big enough to wear the Bat-wings rather than thier own and be convincing- they save Bruce, though the man passes out (from fear? Blood loss from an injury? Perhaps- he is faking) and Dick/Jason, either out of genuine concern for their dad or general “how can i stir the pot” chaos, gently strokes his hair away from his face in an act of compassion that the cameras just so happen to catch. (There’s a few tears shed in the justice league- poor batman! He can’t be with his love!)

The robins (in both identities) telling the justice league that they've seen batman watching him.

“oh yeah he does background checks on aaaaaall bruces conquests. Had a conniption when brucie found a mafia boss that one time.”

“And when he found out Bruce and Two-face had a fling!”

(The league notes that often, if a criminal gets too close to Brucie, they’re put away not long after. B is usually collecting evidence in his civilian ID. But it looks like angry Batman wanted them to get the hell away from his mans.)

The Justice League is swooning over this tragic, forbidden love story. Batman is a little creepy but hey. He apparently grew up in a cave system. Its a wonder he's as well adjusted as he is. Batman has their sympathy, he seems less unflappable/untouchable, they’re a little more understanding with him now. Superman is all too happy to be a rebound, if needed. There are magic users offering glamour spells. Green Lantern is making exposure therapy innuendos.

The robins can’t believe how lucky they got. They’re def grounded but B can’t be too mad bc his secret identity is FUKIN SET.

Alfred is rather proud of Batman's new nickname in the league being “the bat king” and keeps sending batman along with cookies. The league thinks Batman is checking up on bruce with his butler. Its a mess.

Eventually, Batman loses a bet to one of his kids. Committing to the Bit with an exasperated sigh (he’s definitely not having fun, shut up jason.)

He admits to his crush.

#cryptid batman #brucie wayne #wing fic #justice league #dc universe #dc prompt #when the league finds out they’re almost offended #b just sheugs and say they drew their own conclusions #also his robins and alfred were having fun #bruce wayne #batman #bruce wayne x batman #superbat

Rest Awhile

Flufftober prompt: Fall asleep in my lap Suptober prompt: Feathers Random word: damage

(Read on AO3)

“Is he asleep?” Cas keeps his voice soft, wary of disturbing the tiny being curled up on Dean's chest.

“Yeah, he sacked out hard a couple minutes ago,” Dean whispers back. “You're sure he's gonna be okay?”

“Yes, but it will take time. The spell did massive damage at a subatomic level. His grace... Well, it panicked, in a way. Reverting the vessel to babyhood is what you might call a 'hack'. The rapid growth that an infant's body is primed to support will allow him to heal much faster and more completely than he would in an adult vessel.”

“And the feathers?” Under Dean's hands, the downy appendages twitch and settle.

“Keeping his wings hidden in their usual etheric dimension requires energy to be diverted from the healing process.” He shrugs. “Another hack to facilitate recovery.”

Cas sits down next to them on the couch, his arm and hip pressed against Dean's. It's warm, and the cushions under him are soft, and Cas is suddenly very, very tired. His rests his head on his boyfriend's shoulder and lets his eyes close.

Dean drops a kiss on Cas's head, then one on Jack's. “But you're positive he'll recover?”

“Positive. My only uncertainty is the timetable. There's no way to tell how severe the damage is, nor how quickly the healing will progress. He might return to his fully grown form in a few days, or...”

“Or?”

“It might take... Eighteen years. Give or take.”

Dean snorts a laugh, and his chest bounces. Jack stirs, whines softly, then nuzzles into the soft flannel of the hunter's shirt and sighs. Dean smooths his hand up under his son's wings and rubs his back.

“So, could be a total reset, huh? Honestly, I'm fine with whatever. This is nice. Haven't had a baby fall asleep on me since I was, well... It's been a long time.”

Cas nods against him. “You look good like that,” he murmurs. “Natural.”

Dean gives a considering hum. “Feels pretty natural. Guess some things you never forget. And Jack deserves a chance to be a kid. Do kid things.”

“Maybe we all deserve this chance. Be a family. Do family things.” He starts to say more, but interrupts himself with a jaw-cracking yawn.

“You worn out too, babe?” Dean asks with a quiet chuckle. “Here, we've got room for you, hang on.” He scoots his butt down a little on the couch, shifts Jack's limp body up towards his chin, and gestures to his lap. “Lay your head down. We all could use a nap.”

Cas takes his invitation gratefully, and the three of them drift off together, as families sometimes do.

La innovación como un Sistema de Intentos

Noticias, revoloteos, análisis apresurados y el storytelling de la innovación

Amazon acaba de presentar un servicio de atención médica. Funciona de manera virtual, se llama Amazon Clinic y permite consultar con médicos especializados sobre ciertos síntomas comunes.

Esta es la noticia.

A partir de la noticia, se pueden disparar cataratas de comentarios, opiniones, críticas, predicciones, conclusiones... "Me parece bien", "me parece pésimo", "coincido con Jeff", "Jeff se va a quedar con todo", "va a ser un éxito", "no va a andar", "un mundo cada vez más polarizado", "todos competimos con Amazon, Google, Apple...", etc., etc.

Esto es el revoloteo alrededor de la noticia.

Por otra parte, están los comentarios pretendidamente sesudos. Comentarios de todo tipo y desde distintos puntos de vista: financieros ("las acción de Amazon no se movió"), de negocios ("las healthtech llegaron para quedarse"), Marketineros ("el logo es horrible"), etc, etc.

Estos son los (supuestos) análisis.

Y, dentro de los análisis, están los que a mí más me interesan: los vinculados a la innovación. Suelen usar palabras como "Disrupción", "Hipercompetencia", "Growth Hacking", "Novedad", "Leverage", "Pivot"...

Y, a continuación de los análisis, las conclusiones rápidas, los tips, las recomendaciones, etc., etc.

Este es el storytelling de la innovación.

Las diferencias entre explicar la innovación e innovar en serio

Desde mi punto de vista, ver a Amazon Clinic como una "innovación" en sí misma es un error. O, al menos, es una perspectiva demasiado acotada.

En realidad, no importa demasiado discutir si es o no es un gran idea; si va a tener o no va a tener futuro; si agrega o no agrega valor real.

Lo que sí creo que importa es entender el cuál es la estrategia de innovación de Amazon. Esto es lo verdaderamente relevante: la estrategia detrás de cada acción que (desde la comunicación, el marketing, las relaciones públicas, etc.) se presenta como innovación.

Si nos dedicamos a ver con un poco más de detalle la forma en que Amazon busca innovar, notaremos que Amazon Clinic es uno más dentro de decenas de fuertísimos intentos de Amazon por "revolucionar" distintos sectores de la economía.

Amazon intentó ingresar al negocio de los smartphones (AmazonFire), del turismo (Amazon Destinations), de los juegos en línea (Crucible), de las billeteras electrónicas (Amazon Pay), de la música (Amazon Music), de las finanzas (Amazon Haven), del espectáculo (Amazon Tickets), de la moda (Amazon Spark) y los ejemplos siguen.

Todos los anteriores fueron intentos fallidos. Otros parecen funcionar de manera excelente: Kindle, Prime, Alexa, etc, etc.

El modelo de innovación de Amazon consiste en una apuesta permanente para convertirse en un potente jugador de diferentes sectores económicos. Siempre desde Amazon y con fuertísimas inversiones destinadas a probar. Amazon innova probando y sabiendo que muchas de estas pruebas pueden no tener éxito.

(Por supuesto, todo esto se combina con las movidas emprendedoras de Jeff Bezos invirtiendo en Twitch, Zappos, Juno, Workday, etc., etc.)

Conclusión

No me parece que hay que ver a Amazon Clinic como una innovación. Hay que verla como una prueba. Como una apuesta. Una apuesta más, dentro de un sistema de apuestas que no considera que "perder" sea un fracaso. Si sale mal, se acepta, se analiza y se sigue.

Perder es parte del sistema. Un sistema que se alimenta de aprendizaje, intentos, negocios que funcionan y negocios que no funcionan.

The story of how Beltway contracted C-virus is as long as every hurricane has spun, and as short as the interval between blowing your finger off and seeing it inert on the floor. The biblical confines of the belly of the whale called back to youthful hours spent poking at the guts of exploded frogs in the alleyway behind church, thinking sullenly to himself, if God loved Jonah, he should have given him a grenade.

Within that whale he wandered, drawing his knife and hacking away at the interior tissues with no medical curiosity, only the madness of a mind overloaded with sensation and fascination. He couldn't say which seeping pod or bristling gill provided the particular virus which briefly penetrated his mind, mutating the growths on his pituitary before the antivirals swept his system. A goliath who grew out from a whale, he's mixing up stories again. Ahab's hand collides with his cheek, unflinching contact heating the pocked and scarred skin there. Rising like a hot summer wind, he feels the urge to cup her at the vase of her hips and pick her up, crushing her tight to his chest as his thumbs part her thighs. He huffs the thought out through his nose, cracks a grin instead, "Lucky me, I'll have to build this place out to fit all my good luck. And some of yours too."

His hands twitch, and he jaws playfully against Ahab's hand where it rests. The buckles, clasps, and tools that dot the expanse of his chest rattle and catch between them. Creatures still wriggling on the glass to be close to Ahab form black silhouettes against the cool blue lights and white mist of the miniature biome.

It's taken four years to overcome her allergy of sharing a workspace, and even then, the "sharing" in question was her slow crawl to commandeering half of Hector's workshop for her own machinist pursuits. There were a lot of things that could be said about her, all of them true, but she was impeccable at creating anything physical when that physical thing's purpose was to destroy.

They had that in common. Chemical disposal was shared, and she'd isolated a section with crates for non-hazardous and a section for hazardous waste that were meticulous and well regulated. Her heeled boots left pointy, sooty prints over the floor from his own passion projects. That's his business and his cleanup responsibility.

"Yes there is. Don't be surprised if you breach eight feet."

She slides the wall-sized holding container closed. So many benign biohazards in one place. All of them flock to get close to her, some wriggling with uncontained delight.

She could transmit C and spread it, but none of these things seemed to be able to do so. Nothing produced it in quantity. Beltway too, was one of these hazards of his own fault. He did something in that whale, and got himself infected with C or so the story goes.

They got him a vaccine a little late, and even then, the vaccine took care of the toxic byproducts, but not every part of the virus's aptitude for causing internal mayhem.

She doesn't remember him as him waking her up from a very, very long dream. Carla trots to him, looking up a good foot and a half and reaching very far up to thump his powdered cheek with her palm none too softly.

"Oh you'll probably grow to the size of the tank you're in, you goliath. Aren't you lucky?"

He's already grown a few gel-like plates on his body courtesy of his own ability to get injured. Hector Hivers was going to be one hell of an abomination, that's for sure. For him, nothing much changed.

He's always been a deformed personality.

Doctor Dorpden’s Critical Tips of Prestige

Note: This post was made with satirical intentions in mind. I’m only emphasizing because I’ve had a couple of comments on previous joke posts I’ve did take it seriously. With that said, here we go.

Tip 1: For starters, remember that when looking at the work, if the Mystic Knee twitches fast enough to punch a hole in a wall, this suggests that the work should be near the lowest of the low. No further development of opinion is needed.

Tip 2: For an equal degree of sophistication, give the warm comfort of nostalgia at least 5 times more chances than the new thing that MAY seem actually poggers.

Tip 3: If you have the anecdote of encountering shitty fans, then use them as a scapegoat for the show they flaunt over being shitty. Clearly, they’re always making the show the way it is.

Tip 4: If you haven’t heard much about a newer film or show you’re yet to watch, there’s an 85% chance that film or show is actually not worth your time. The Father (2020) isn’t as widespread as Joker (2019) for a reason.

Tip 5: At this point, just go for the Asian Artist Dick. I’m actually in the mood to see merit in that because I want to look edgy against cute doodles. Stop attacking Uzaki-Chan, you cowards!

Tip 6: Avoid the electronic tunes. They’ll make you smell like a bum, for there’s no structural in a music album that’s nothing but wubs.

Tip 7: If you see a Tweet that looks dumb, use it as a means of generalizing all the fans of a work as sharing that same opinion.

Tip 8: If the cartoon I’m given doesn’t provide me with mature ideas such as slicing an Arbok in half or fake boobs, then the cartoon might as well be on the same level as Teletubbies.

Tip 9: You know the music is (c)rap when it brings up drugs, regardless of lyrical context.

Tip 10: Raw mood is the indicator of quality cartooning. If you’re quick to assume the worst in the newest HBO Max original cartoon, then you got thyself a stinker. Same thing if you were super bummed out when watching a new thing, regardless of anecdotal context.

Tip 11: When you’re not given continuous throwbacks, ensure you’re as reductive and over-generalizing about the works shown as possible.

Tip 12: If your hazy and imperfect as hell recollection of a children’s film, whether it’s Wall-E or Lilo & Stitch, would describe said film as “too sugary” or “key-waving schlock”, then that HAS to be the case. No meat on that bone whatsoever.

Tip 13: Simpler, more graphic style that isn’t as realistic as old-school Disney or Anime? You got yourself a lazy style with zero passion put into it.

UPA? Who’s THAT?!

Tip 14: Don’t trust anyone saying that western children’s cartoons had any form of artistic development after 2008 (with, like, TWO exceptions). If it did, why didn’t we go from stealing organs in a 2001 cartoon to showing opened stomachs in a 2021 cartoon?

Tip 15: Big booba is always important to the strong female character’s quality.

Tip 16: Only MY ships count, for they provide me with a feeling of intelligence.

Tip 17: “PG-13″ and “R” rating just simply mean you’re not caring for expressing themes in a sophisticated manner. It’s just THAT simple until I dictate otherwise.

Tip 18: In this age of smelly radicals, “Death of the Author” is more important than ever. Without it, this’ll imply that a classic like The Matrix was secretly toxic, due to what the Wachowskis have to say about it being an “allegory of trans people.”

Tip 19: Turn the fandoms you hate into your torture porn. Ask in Tweets to Retweet one sentence that’d “trigger” them. Go out of your way to paint all of them as blind consoomers. That’ll show them, and it’ll show how much more intelligent you are compared to those clowns.

Tip 20: Whatever the Mystic Knee dictates upon the first viewing of a work is what shall indicate the full structural extent of the film.

Tip 21: The mindset of a 2000s edgelord is one that actually understands the artistry of the medium of animation. Listen to that crazy but ingenious man.

Tip 22: Because sheer ambition makes me feel manly, the high pedestal you bestow upon a cartoon work should be based mostly on the mere mention or mere suggestion of serious topics. This means that pure comedy is smelly.

Tip 23: Is the new work tackling subjects that you’ve loved a childhood work of yours for covering? Just assume it’s super bare-bones in that case compared to the older case, for there’s nothing the older work can do to truly prove itself otherwise. Seriously, Letterboxd. Stop giving any 2010s cartoon anything above a 4/5

Tip 24: If the Mystic Knee is suggesting that the work is crummy, then consider any explanation off the top of your head for why the work in question is crummy.

Tip 25: Sexual and gender identity is inherently political, so don’t focus on them in the story. It’s no wonder why Full Metal Alchemist has caught on more than the She-Ra reboot.

Tip 26: Since I got bothered by a random butt monkey type character in a crummy cartoon, I’m now obligated to assume that having a butt monkey will only harm the writing integrity of the cartoon.

Seriously, Mr. Enter....what?!

Tip 27: We’re at a point where pure comedy for a kids’ cartoon is doing nothing but dumbing down the children. Like seriously...... I doubt Billy and Mandy would ever use farts as a punchline, unlike these newer kids comedies.

Tip 28: The difference between the innuendo in kids’ cartoons I grew up on and the ones Zootopia made is the sense of prestige they give me. Just take notes from the former instead.

Tip 29: Wanna make a work of artistic merit? Just take notes from the stuff I whore out to. It’s just THAT simple until I dictate otherwise.

Tip 30: Always remember this golden rule: If the newer work, or a work you’ve recently experienced the first time, was truly great, why isn’t it providing the exact emotions from your younger, more impressionable years?

Tip 31: If the Mystic Knee aims to break the bones of a character doing certain things (.i.e. having body count of thousands; lashing out to character; etc.), that means the character is bad and deserves no redemption.

Tip 32: If you want me to believe there’s any intrigue or depth in your antagonist, give them redemption, for I am in need of that sorta thing being spelled out. Looking at you, Syndrome. Should’ve taken notes from Tai Lung.

Tip 33: In a case where you’re going “X > Y” (.i.e. manga compared to western comics), ALWAYS CHERRY PICK! Use the recent controversies of the “Y” item while pretending that the “X” item has never had anything of the sort.

Tip 34: BEFORE you bring up those comments that shat on the original Teen Titans cartoon back when it was new, whether for making Starfire “more PC” or whatever.......the DIFFERENCE between them and me is that THEY were just bad faith fools that couldn’t see true majesty out of blind rage. I, however, am truly certain that calling any western TV cartoon from 2014-onward a work that transcends its generation suggests a destruction of the medium.

Tip 35: Based on fandom growth, it shows that any newer show isn’t being watched much by kids, but rather loser adults that act like children. Therefore, there’s more prestige in what I grew with.

Tip 36: The focus on children is bad at this point since the children of today have attention spans that flies would have.

Tip 37: A select few screenshots (or even one) of either a less elaborate attacking animation, less realistic game graphics, or a less on-model image in a cartoon indicates EVERYTHING about the work’s quality.

Tip 38: Consuming or writing media where characters go through constant suffering is little more than gaining pleasure out of it. YOU SICKOS!

Looking at you, Lily Orchard!

Tip 39: Whether it’s a sexual awakening story or just simply a romance, focus on a character being lesbian, trans, bi, etc., then it shouldn’t be in a kids’ work. It’s too spicy for them by default. Kids don’t want romance anyway.

Tip 40: The very idea of a western cartoon with no full-blown antagonist (i.e. Inside Out) is a destruction of animated artistry. Sorry, but it’s just THAT simple until I dictate otherwise.

Tip 41: Unless it’s my fluffy pillow, such as Disney’s Robin Hood, it should be obligated to assume the inserting of anthros is only there to pleasure the furries. Looking at YOU, Zootopia!

Tip 42: With how rough and rash The Beast was, it shows that he was more of an abusive lover. Therefore, I refuse to believe that Beauty and the Beast has any of the meticulous moral writing that most of Disney’s other 90s films has.

Tip 43: When you suggest one work should’ve “taken notes” from another work in order to do better, BE VAGUE! Those who agree will be shown to be geniuses.

Tip 44: Remember how morally grey Invader Zim was? That really goes to show how little the Western Animation scene has been trying since that show. Really should just be taking notes from that series (and of course anime).

Tip 45: Even if I have a radar that clearly indicates such, hiding the item I look for inside an enemy is always bad, for I refuse to believe it would be inside the enemy.

Goddamn it, Arin!

Tip 46: People struggle understanding your gender identity or pronouns? All there is to see in that is a giant cloud of egotism that reads “My problems” zapping another smaller cloud that reads “other people’s problems”. Seriously, kids are starving, so WHAT if you identity confused someone. Grow a spine!

Tip 47: Stop pretending that adaptations should colorize how a story or comic series should be defined. No way in FUCK can a cartoon or film incarnation become the definitive portrayal of my precious superhero idol.

Tip 48: Enough with your precious “limited animation” techniques, YOU WESTERN HACKS! All you’re doing is admitting to sheer laziness and lacking artistic integrity. Now if you excuse me, I’ll be watching more anime, since that gives me a sense of prestige.

Tip 49: If getting five times more detail than the 2D animated visuals have requires someone getting hurt, so be it. No pain, no gain after all.

Tip 50: Yes, I genuinely struggle to believe there’s this majestic level of layered material without having the most immediate yet still vague re-assurance practically yelling in my face. But that’s STILL the work’s fault, not mine.

Tip 51: Every Klasky-Csupo cartoon has more artistic integrity than any of them cartoons with gay lovers such as Kipo or the Netflix She-Ra show.

Tip 52: If Sergio Pablos’ Klaus is anything to go by, we have no excuse to utilize those smelly as fuck digital animation “styles” found on Stinky Universe, Suck-Ra or Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turds.

Tip 53: Stop projecting your orientation onto works of actual talent. Seriously, how does Elton John’s I’m Still Standing expel ANY rainbow flag energy?

Tip 54: Hip hop and electronica have been the destruction of music, especially the kind that’s actually organic and not farting on the buttons of a beeping or drumming gadget.

Tip 55: The audience for cartoons has become significantly less clear over the years. We should just go back to Saturday mornings of being sold toys or shit kids actually want.

Tip 56: PSAs for kids shouldn’t be about ‘woke’ content. They should be actual problems such as doing drugs; not playing with knifes / outlets / matches; or acceptance.

Tip 57: The instant you realize a detail in a childhood work that’s better understood as an adult, you’re forced to paint that work as the most transcendent thing in the world. It’s just THAT simple until I dictate otherwise.

Tip 58: Before you lash out on ALL rich people, remember this: #Not All Rich People.

Tip 59: There’s nothing to gain out of the (c)rap scene other than becoming a spiteful, gun-wielding thug that sniffs weed for breakfast.

Tip 60: Since the Mystic Knee told me to get anal about prom episodes in several gay cartoons, this shows that writing about one’s younger experiences just makes you look pathetic.

Tip 61: Another smelly thing about Zootopia is how it was painting a police chief as stern and exclusive. #Not All Chiefs

Tip 62: Me catching a glimpse of Grave of the Fireflies as a kid and turning out fine shows that you may as well show kids more adult works without worry. No amount of psychological questions being asked will suggest otherwise.

Tip 63: There’s a reason why the Mystic Knee keeps leaning more toward the 90s and early 2000s than most decades. That knee KNOWS where there’s a sense of true refinement.

Tip 64: The BIG difference between rock and electronica? Steward Copeland actually DRUMS. All that the likes of Burial, Boards of Canada, Depeche Mode and several others did was push drum buttons.

Tip 65: One exception to the golden nostalgia is when the work in question doesn’t stuff your face with fantastical, bombastic stories. At which point, there can only be rose-colored blinds covering Nickelodeon’s Doug. Nothing of merit or personal resonance to be found.

Tip 66: Remember that the sense of nuance in the work comes down to there being everything including the kitchen sink, whether it involves multiple geographic landscapes; giving us hundreds of characters; etc. Only through the extremes will I be able to tell there is nuance.

Tip 67: Once you see a joke that has an involvement with sexual or violent content, just ignore the full picture and just reduce it to having nothing to it but “sex, violence, gimme claps.”

PKRussel has entered the chat

Tip 68: With all the SJWs messing up the art of comedy, lament the times where you could be called a comic genius, NOT a monster, for shouting out the word “STAB,” calling a gay weird, painting Middle Easterns as inherently violent, etc.

Tip 69: Guitar twang will always win out over (c)rap beats. There’s a reason your grandma is more likely to listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd than Kendrick Lamar.

Tip 70: Once the Mystic Knee notices a lack of squealing at the video game with linearity, that shows there’s more artistry in going full-blown open world.

Tip 71: Related to Tips 66 and 68, ensure your comedy gets as much information and mileage out of each individual skit as possible. EMPHASIZE if you need to. Continuously spout out your quirky phrase of “STAB” if needed.

Tip 72: Based on the onslaught of TV shows with many seasons and episodes, animated or otherwise, it shows that there’s more worth going for that than simply having a miniseries or a 26-episode anime.

Tip 73: Building off of the previous tip, you’re better off squeezing and exhausting every little detail and notable characterization rather than keeping anything simple and possibly leaving a stone unturned, especially if there’s supposed to be a story.

Tip 74: Playing through the fan translation of Mother 3 made me realize how much some newer kids’ works just try too hard to get serious. Why even make the kids potentially think about the death of a family member?

Tip 75: The fear I had over Sid’s toys from the first Toy Story and similar anecdotal emotions are the be-all indicators of what kind of show or film is fitting for the children.

Tip 76: Seeing this British rapper chick have a song titled “Point and Kill” just further exemplifies the fears I’ve had about rappers being some of the most harmful folks ever.

Tip 77: The problem with attempting to make a more “relatable” She-Ra is that kids aren’t looking for relatability. They want the escapism of buff fighters or something similar. This is why slice-of-life is so smelly.

Tip 78: Based on seeing the rating of “PG-13″ or “R,” I can tell that the dark humor is little more than “hur dur sex and guns.” Given the “TV-Y7 FV” rating of Invader Zim, the writers should’ve taken notes from that instead just so I can sense actual prestige.

Tip 79: The original He-Man has more visual intrigue in its animation than any of those smelly glorified doodles found in the “styles" of the 2010s and early 2020s.

Tip 80: It’s always the fault of the game that my first guess (that I refuse to divert from) on how I have to go through an obstacle won’t work.

Tip 81: Zootopia discussing prejudice ruins the majestic escapism I got from my precious childhood films from 1991-2004. Them kids might as well be watching the news. Now to watch some Hunchback after I finish these tips.

Tip 82: There is no such thing as an unreasonable expectation, and there’s especially no wrong way to address the lack of met expectations! For example, if you expect some early 2010s cartoon on the Disney Channel to be a Kids X-Files, yet you get moments such as some girl getting high on stick dipping candy, you got the right to paint the worst out of that show for not being “Kids’ X-Files.”

Tip 83: Related to my example for Tip 82, if you get the slightest impression of something being childish, you know you got yourself a children’s work that does little than wave keys and has basically nothing substantial for them. In this situation, those malfunctioning robots found in Wall-E are the guilty party.

Tip 84: Without the extensive dialogue that I’m used to getting, how can one say for certain there was any amount of characterization in the title character of Wall-E?

Tip 85: Ever noticed yourself gradually being less likely to expect an upcoming work or view a work you’re just consuming as “the next best thing”? That’s ALWAYS the fault of smelly “artists” (hacks really) and their refusal to give a shit.

Tip 86: It’s obligatory for your lead to be explicitly heroic just so there is this immediate re-assurance that they’re a good one.

Tip 87: Without the comforting safety net of throwbacks, one cannot be for certain that there has been an actual evolution of a series or the art of animation and video games.

Tip 88: Don’t PSA kids on stuff they give zero fucks about. That means no gender identities or pronouns, race, etc.

Tip 89: Don’t listen to Mamoru Hosoda saying that anime women tend to be “depicted through a lens” of sexual desire. He’s just distracting from the superior prestige found in anime women.

Tip 90: If you’re desperate to let others know that your talking points are reasonable, just repeat them over and over with little expansion on said talking points.

Tip 91: 7 or more seasons of art is better than 26 episodes of art. EVERY TIME!

Tip 92: Always remember to continuously talk up the innuendo and mature subject matter of the childhood work as the most prestigious, transcendent thing of all time. With that in mind, there’s a high chance that your favorite childhood work will be better known than Perfect Blue (1997), and there’s likely a reason for that.

Tip 93: An art style that gives many characters relatively more realistic arm muscle details will always shine through more than any sort of art style done for “simplicity” (laziness, really).

Tip 94: Seeing a few (like, even VERY FEW) people show more enthusiasm for Steven Universe over Invader Zim really shows the lower bar that has been expected out of the western animation scene compared to anime.

Tip 95: Electronic music makes less conventional time signatures cheap as hell. REAL music like rock makes them the exact opposite.

Tip 96: If your Mystic Knee suggests that the 90s cartoon being viewed doesn’t showcase a vague sense of refinement or artistic integrity, then every related assumption of yours is right. EVERY TIME!

Tip 97: Doing everything and the kitchen sink for one series or movie shows a better sense of refinement and prestige than any form of simplicity. THIS includes character design as well.

Tip 98: The advent of that Star Wars: Visions anime really shows just how stinky western cartoons have become.

Tip 99: For those wondering, no, Europe isn’t being counted in my definition of “western animation”. Doing so is a complete disservice to prestige.

Tip 100: If even less than half of these tips aren’t being considered, you can kiss that prestige badge goodbye. After all, I SAID SO!

Hironette. The Transfer Student. Pt. 2

Alrighty, you guys kept asking so I thought I’d make a second part. I hope you enjoy!

The Transfer Student Pt. 2: Famous

Hiro locked eyes with the enemy on the screen. This time, he thought, this time she’s going down. As soon as the countdown disappeared, his fingers were flashed on his controller as his avatar ducked and dodged, desperately trying grow more powerful than his opponent.

It was no use.

If his fingers were flashes of motion, then hers were a smooth blur.

The other girl, the one in orange, had long since given up instead choosing to alternate between cheering for Marinette and typing up her report of this afternoon.

Like all the other matches, Marinette won handily. Not that Hiro minded, in fact, it only cemented what he had expected to happen when one went up against the Ultimate Mecha Strike champion. Marinette leaned over and extended a free hand towards Hiro as the game credits began to scroll.

“Good game,” she said happily, “You almost had me in the second half.”

Hiro laughed and grasped her hand in a firm handshake, “Easy of you to lie for me.”

“I mean, nice.” Hiro corrected, running a hand through his hair. Really ought to work on my translator if I don’t want to sound like a dork he reflected. The want to communicate currently outweighed his hesitance over working with nanotechnology again. In the past few months, he had taken every opportunity to procrastinate on moving past theory and onto physical fabrication and testing.

He knew, he knew that Yokai was rotting away in a jail cell. And he knew that his encryption codes were now near impossible to hack, but every time he held one of his microbots, his mind would go back to that battle. He, his friends, the city – nearly died because of his invention. It was hard to view the microbots as innocent tools when he had seen first-hand what kind of destruction they wrought in the wrong hands.

Knowing that he needed help – he was no Batman, he began working on Baymax’s programming. It had been a balm and a distraction from his troubles. In order to make sure the new program would be able to handle accurate diagnosis, Hiro had needed to attend therapy sessions for research. And what had started as pure research bled into true therapy sessions; he had grieved and raged and suffered a little less which each session. Most importantly though, he had grown and with his growth, grew the Baymax Tadashi Hadashi Health program, or Baymax T2 for short.

When Mrs. Tsurugi, one of Krei Industries and San Fransokyo’s Institute of Technology’s financial benefactors, presented the opportunity for him to move temporarily to help heal a city, he jumped on it. What better way to pay his growth forward than to help take down another villain?

“What?” Marinette placed her controller on the coffee table and raised her hand in a scout’s salute, “No lie. Honest. You play well.”

Hiro snorted. “As if. You,” he pointed at her, “Ultra Mecha Strike League Champion. Me?” He turned his finger on himself, “Amateur fun-gamer. No contest.”

Alya laughed loudly, “Oh! He’s got you there.”

Marinette blushed, “How did you know?”

“Twitch,” came Hiro’s succinct answer before he grinned toothily and pointed at Alya, “Her stream.”

Marinette rounded on Alya, “EX-cuse me?”

Hiro gleefully watched the first few minutes of the discord he caused before interrupting – it wouldn’t be fun if their argument developed into a serious one, “Hey! Celebrity girl!”

He took out his phone and held it up, “Selfie? With me? Please?”

For a brief moment, Hiro was afraid for a moment that the pillow that Marinette had been using would be coming would be coming his way. He let out a small breath of relief when she lowered her weapon and sat back down next to him.

“Sure,” she blew a strand of hair out of her face, “Apparently I’m already famous.”

“Atta girl! Embrace it!” Alya said while cheerfully flashing them a thumbs up, unfazed by the glare that Marinette sent her way.

This close, Hiro was surprised that Marinette didn’t smell like a bakery like he expected her to. Instead she smelled… he tried to place his finger on it. It wasn’t quite vanilla but it was sweet and a little earthy. Unbidden, the word effervescent came to mind. Or perhaps –

“Are you going to take the picture?” Marinette asked, gently breaking his train of thought.

“I – oh.” While lost in thought, Hiro had closed the gap between the back of her head and his chest. Swiftly, he adjusted his hold on the camera and lifted it higher in the air to compensate for their change in position, “Yeah, sorry, I will. I think this angle is better. Say cheese!”

Luckily, he was saved from further embarrassment when Baymax’s voice rang out, [Hiro, I am here to take you to your next speaking event.]

Jason waved off Tim’s eye roll and useless defence at how he wasn’t popular and overworked, only keeping note that Tim seemed to be undermining a lot of what he did. As if he hadn’t been the more capable Robin.

He glanced at the phone that Ethan had out on the table, its sleek screen staying black with no notifications popping up. “Hm yeah? Shouldn’t be too hard.” He grinned, laughing when Tim asked him if he had a plan. “Did you even read my file? Planning isn’t my thing, babybird.”

It really wasn’t. He believed that if it doesn’t go a certain way, might as well improvise your ass off. It was a lot more exciting and entertaining that way, and it hasn’t failed him. At least not with a huge consequence. For now.

“It's not like I know anything about him properly till I follow him after class tomorrow. I’ll get his number, don't worry.” He shrugged and continued drinking his tea, looking bored as he waited for Tim to return with his laptop. Jason momentarily wondered what he should do if Ethan was to suddenly leave before Tim got back but it didn’t take Tim long at all, so he settled back into his chair and watched as Tim did his magic on his laptop. His teal gaze studying Tim’s focused attention on his screen.

The older man leaned in closer when he saw a smirk twitch onto Tim’s face, an equally pleased grin widening his own face. “Guess going to Uni really is a cover for them too.” He laughed, dragging his chair closer towards Tim to look at his screen. “Honestly… I hope Brady is a little smarter than this guy.” He muttered, looking at Ethan as he spoke until he glanced at Tim for a reaction.

Timothy Drake who was now sitting close to him since Jason had naturally pulled himself closer- and he smelled like coffee. Or was that just the smell of the cafe itself? There was also a hint of something else that he didn’t recognise. Jason didn’t know but it was just, nice. Yeah. He probably stared for a good 5 seconds before he realised what he was doing, blinking rapidly. Had Tim said something? What did he say? Shit.

“So how many cups of coffee do you drink?” He blurted out, embarrassment showing in his ears with light red flushes.

Recover. Recover. Recover.

“You know- because it's probably what stunted your growth, Timbo.” Okay, insult the guy you’re working with, sure. Nice one Jason Todd.

While this was happening, Ethan was totally unaware that he was being spied on and hacked, sipping his own drink as he continued typing into his laptop. Was this guy really here to catch up on his studies? What, being in a drug and sex trafficking ring was a side job as he pursued higher education? Jason snorted at that idea and narrowed his eyes when Ethan moved.

The guy stood up and made his way to another student who was sitting by herself at a smaller table, tapping her shoulder before striking up a conversation. From the few seconds of vision he had on her, he could tell that she was a shy person not used to being talked to by a stranger at a cafe. Her face was full of surprise but relaxed into a more polite smile when Ethan greeted her. Jason couldn’t lip read the rest of the conversation since Ethan’s back was turned towards him and he was blocking his line of sight of the girl, just his luck.

“Shit, I can’t even hear their conversation.” He grumbled, eyebrows furrowing close together as he glared at Ethan. The two only talked for a few minutes but when Ethan returned to his seat, he waved his phone at the girl and gestured that he would text her. She blushed pink and nodded shyly with a smile.

“I thought you said the two guys were loners?” He raised his eyes at Tim, “Ethan seems to have no trouble making friends.”

Birds of a Feather

(closed RP with @muuuumin)

Things were not going according to plan.

Tim really didn’t like it when things didn’t go according to plan.

Sadly, that was the nature of Gotham City, which was exactly why Tim had backup plan after backup plan, accounting for every conceivable variable. He’d written an algorithm just for this case. There was a stack of paperwork heavier than Tim was.

And yet, somehow, none of that accounted for faulty construction of the barrier along the route Tim expected to chase the criminal along, and just like that all 27 of Tim’s backup plans went out the window, and he and this thug were tearing through the streets of Gotham City.

Fortunately, Tim had always been quick. Maybe not quite as strong as some of the other bats, but he was balanced in agility, which was useful when it came to jumping over the wooden palettes that had been knocked in his way.

He’d been chasing this guy for months, the leader of a trafficking ring that made Tim’s stomach turn with each new detail he learned. Finally, Tim had him… nearly. Weeks of careful planning were reduced to instinct, fueled by the base knowledge that whatever happened, he had to catch this guy. Because of that, he wasn’t particularly paying attention to where the man was running, only that Tim needed to catch up to him.

Tim was getting close. His chest burned with it, but he was closing the distance. The leader was about three times Tim’s size, but that made him slow, which Tim used to his advantage.

One last turn lead them down a long alley with far fewer obstacles to jump over, and Tim took that as his chance. Putting one last burst of energy into moving forward, he could reach out and touch the man before him. So, he did. He leapt forward and used all his momentum to send the both of them tumbling to the ground, pinning the man’s arms behind him.

“Get off- you little shit,” the criminal squirmed violently, pinned face down as he was. Tim was fully sitting on his back, using his entire body weight to keep him down and frankly unconvinced that was enough. Tim was strong, but he couldn’t hold someone like this forever. “I ain’t getting taken down by some pipsqueak-ass kid. I’ll fucking kill you.”

Tim used his position to secure handcuffs around the man’s wrists, trying to catch his breath. He might’ve secured them a little tighter than necessary, but knowing what this man did Tim frankly didn’t feel bad about it.

Things hadn’t gone exactly according to plan, but Tim had gotten the criminal in the end. This would just serve as… something to keep in mind for the next time he had to make a plan. Always double check the strength of the barricades along the predicted potential chase route.

Breathless and full of adrenaline, Tim forgot another much more important rule: Always pay attention to where your target is leading you.

#oooooo its happening #jason is falling first
