React Native or Native: Which Is Superior for Developing Apps?

In today’s digital ecosystem, mobile applications are pivotal for engaging users and driving business success. One of the earliest decisions developers and business owners must make is choosing the right technology for their mobile apps: React Native or Native development. Each option brings distinct advantages and trade-offs depending on the project's needs, budget, and long-term goals. This blog explores the strengths and limitations of both approaches to help you determine which is superior for your app development journey in 2025 and beyond.

Understanding the Basics: What Is React Native and Native App Development?

React Native is a popular open-source framework created by Meta (formerly Facebook). It allows developers to build cross-platform apps using JavaScript and React. With a single codebase, developers can deploy apps on both Android and iOS, significantly reducing development time and cost.

On the other hand, Native app development refers to building mobile applications specifically for a single platform—Android or iOS—using languages and tools provided by the platform vendor. For Android, this usually means using Java or Kotlin in Android Studio; for iOS, it's Swift or Objective-C in Xcode.

Performance: React Native vs Native App Development

When it comes to performance, native apps generally have the upper hand. Because they’re built using platform-specific languages and APIs, native apps offer smoother animations, better response times, and faster execution. This is especially important for apps that require heavy processing, advanced graphics (like AR/VR or gaming apps), or deep integration with the device hardware.

React Native apps, while impressive in reach and flexibility, rely on a JavaScript bridge to communicate with native modules. This can introduce latency and performance bottlenecks in high-performance applications. However, for many standard use cases—such as e-commerce, social networking, or booking apps—React Native performance is sufficient and increasingly optimized with tools like Hermes engine and JSI (JavaScript Interface).

Keyword tip: Businesses often search for terms like React Native vs Native performance, making it a core comparison factor in decision-making.

Development Speed and Cost: Why React Native Wins

If you’re working with limited time and budget, React Native app development services may be your best bet. With a single codebase for both iOS and Android, developers can create apps faster and cut costs significantly, sometimes up to 40–50% less than building two native apps.

Furthermore, code reusability, live reloading, and modular architecture in React Native enhance development speed and team collaboration. For startups or MVPs aiming for rapid time-to-market, React Native offers a compelling solution without compromising on functionality.

In contrast, native development requires separate teams, toolsets, and codebases for each platform, effectively doubling the effort and cost. While this might make sense for enterprise-grade or mission-critical apps, it can be overkill for simpler projects.

User Experience and UI: Native Still Leads

Native apps are known for delivering a superior user experience. Since they’re built for a specific operating system, native apps can take full advantage of the platform’s UI guidelines, gestures, animations, and components. The result is an app that feels more integrated and intuitive to the user.

React Native tries to replicate native UI components but can sometimes fall short, particularly with platform-specific design elements or highly customized interfaces. While libraries like React Native Paper and NativeBase offer prebuilt components, native still excels in creating pixel-perfect, fluid UIs.

That said, React Native UI is constantly improving, and for many common use cases, it provides a satisfactory and visually pleasing experience. However, for apps where the user interface is a core differentiator, native development has the edge.

Maintenance and Updates: React Native Simplifies It

From a maintenance perspective, React Native simplifies updates due to its unified codebase. Bug fixes, feature updates, and performance improvements can be rolled out simultaneously across both platforms, streamlining app management.

Moreover, tools like CodePush allow for over-the-air (OTA) updates without requiring users to download a new version from the app store. This is a major advantage for agile teams that need to iterate quickly.

Native apps, however, need platform-specific maintenance and updates, which increases the workload and risks inconsistent feature parity between platforms.

Access to Native APIs and Device Features

If your app requires extensive use of native APIs, sensors, or background services (such as Bluetooth, GPS tracking, biometric authentication, or background video processing), native development offers direct access and better control.

React Native, while offering access to many native modules through libraries or custom bridging, can sometimes lag in supporting the latest native APIs immediately. In such cases, native development provides a smoother path to integrate cutting-edge features.

However, React Native has made significant progress in this area with tools like React Native Reanimated, React Navigation, and community-driven modules that support a wide range of native features.

Community Support and Talent Availability

React Native benefits from a massive and active open-source community. With thousands of contributors and extensive documentation, finding React Native developers is relatively easy, and solutions to common issues are readily available.

While native app development also has strong community support, especially for Android and iOS individually, it may require more specialized expertise, which can increase hiring costs and development time.

From a talent acquisition perspective, React Native offers broader flexibility. Developers familiar with JavaScript and React can transition into mobile development more easily than native development, which demands platform-specific knowledge.

Long-Term Scalability and Security

For apps requiring high scalability, robust security, and tight hardware integration—such as banking, fintech, or healthcare apps—native development is often preferred. The performance stability, access control, and OS-level security features make native apps better suited for enterprise-grade solutions.

React Native apps can scale well too, especially with proper architectural planning and the use of native modules. However, security can be a concern if the JavaScript layer isn’t handled properly. Obfuscation, secure storage, and regular audits are essential when using React Native in sensitive domains.

When to Choose React Native

Choose React Native app development if:

You need to build apps for both iOS and Android quickly.

Budget and time constraints are important.

The app doesn't require complex animations or high-performance hardware access.

You're building an MVP or prototype to test the market.

You want faster iterations and simplified maintenance.

When to Choose Native App Development

Choose native app development if:

The app requires maximum performance, such as 3D games or AR/VR apps.

You need to integrate deeply with device hardware or native APIs.

Security and scalability are top priorities (e.g., in fintech or healthcare).

UI/UX customization is a critical part of your user engagement strategy.

You have the resources to maintain separate codebases for iOS and Android.

Final Verdict: Which Is Superior?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The superior approach—React Native or Native—depends entirely on your project’s goals, complexity, and constraints. React Native is a great choice for startups, cross-platform solutions, and rapid development. Native development, on the other hand, remains unbeatable for performance-critical, secure, and UI-intensive applications.

Partnering with the right mobile app development company is key to evaluating your needs and choosing the best technology. Whether you opt for React Native or native app development, ensure that your chosen team has deep expertise and a clear understanding of your industry requirements.

natives with pluto in the 12th house have the ability to seem like everything is alright, even though they are probably going through the lowest point in their lives. they come off all calm and collected on the surface, but underneath, there’s a whole world of intense emotions and unresolved trauma going on.

saturn square ascendant natives may feel compelled to limit their self-expression (this usually results in their rising sign qualities being hindered). this tendency often stems from childhood experiences of having strict rules and limitations imposed upon them, possibly by parents or authority figures who viewed their spontaneous behavior as “immature.” they were constantly shushed, which caused them to be highly cautious about how they present themselves to others, often wearing a cold, serious face, but deep down they hide their fun, childlike nature in fear of being criticized. 🎭

natives with pluto in the 7th house tend to become suspicious when others get too close to them. often times, these people think others always harbor motives against them or are taking advantage of them. this mindset often stems from past close relationships, whether romantic or platonic, where they felt controlled and used. as a result, they develop a desire for control in relationships, asserting power to avoid being dominated.

mercury-pluto people have no filter at all. very blunt and direct; their words may unsettle others. they can come across as judgmental or too critical due to their honesty, which can sometimes lead them into arguments. these people can smell lies from far away 🔍

lilith conjunct pluto natives carry intense and buried emotions that can explode when they sense someone trying to exert power or dominance over them. they value their independence greatly and have a tendency to react aggressively when they feel their freedom is threatened. these people are acutely aware of their own inner dark qualities and can also recognize such aspects in others. besides these, they tend to notice and are deeply affected by the injustice and oppression happening in their surroundings.

saturn in the 2nd house natives might feel compelled to consistently share or surrender possessions, resulting in a sense of lacking or deprivation. this behavior may have roots in parental actions, such as taking away their belongings and not buying them things. this early pattern affected their self-esteem, leading to the belief that they’d never attain good things in life.

moon-mars people are so expressive. they never seem to keep quiet because their emotions are intense and tend to overflow spontaneously, making it difficult for them to conceal their feelings. these individuals may become easily angered or irritated, showing emotional impatience, and even small things can have a noticeable impact on their mood.

sun square moon natives could be prone to procrastination. they often want to do something in their head but feel emotionally resistant or unmotivated to do so.

gemini rising people are great at handling many tasks at once because they naturally adapt well. their tendency to get bored quickly and try out various pursuits highlights their dynamic and always-curious personalities. it’s common to observe them constantly shifting between different hobbies and interests. they are also able to hold many things at once. 🧺

pluto in the 3rd house natives are the type to know things they shouldn’t know. they might have started swearing early, or at least heard and learned those words sooner than most. this is because of their receptiveness to their surroundings, which causes them to pick up things faster and, more often, darker things. they tend to obsessively ask questions, constantly wanting to know why and how things work. because their thoughts are so intense and deep, others might have teased them or found them a bit odd or weird, which inclined them to keep certain things to themselves.

uranus in the 12th house individuals may be inclined to keep their hobbies and interests private. they might feel that their hobbies are unconventional or “weird” by societal standards, leading them to be discreet about sharing them. others might be surprised when they discover these hidden interests because they may not align with what the individual shows.

soshiro hoshina

tw: total nuisance 18+

english isn’t my native language!

~~~

it seemed as if the vice-captain's coaching room was always quiet, clean and cool. but instead of all that, right now, skin-on-skin slaps could be heard in the coaching room. things are scattered all over the room, and the heat from the bodies continued to envelop you both.

— i thought we were just going to practice together — you say with a grin to the captain, who bumped into you, holding your legs tightly pressed against the seat of one of the simulators.

— huh? are we doing something else? soshiro answers, pushing a strand of sweat—matted hair behind your ear.

it seems that lately he's been obsessed with the idea that you belong to him completely. naturally, you liked it. besides, he could always take advantage of it when he was just around. in every sense of the word.

— and it also seemed to me that the vice-captain should be modest and restrained — you continued.

— you're going to finish playing now.

it was getting unbearably stuffy. there was a feeling that such hot air could warm the whole of antarctica. well, that sounds like a challenge.

— i don't even know how the whole squad will react to the fact that vice-captain soshiro hoshina is fucking y/n in his coaching room for the fourth time... — you say, breathing heavily. but hoshina always keeps her word.

he abruptly grabs your legs and pulls you down. instead of continuing to bump into you, he sits on his knees, spreads your legs even wider and starts licking all the mess that you made because of him. to say that you were in utter confusion is to say nothing at all. It's like your body was planning to break out of its own shell.

— oh, soshiro!

his legs twitched pleasantly from his accidental touches of the clitoris, which made the brunette squeeze his hips more and more. you feel that your body liked this feeling and you are waiting for you to finally be able to cum from it. it looks like he really is a real fighter, since he even has working tongue muscles. you cover your face with one hand in embarrassment, and with the other you dig into his hair.

— i feel like… i am now...

one of the most enjoyable climaxes was very close, but

there is a knock on the door and a familiar voice is heard behind it.

— is everything all right there? don't you kill each other there?

your hand abruptly slides from your eyes to your mouth and presses against it with all its force. kafka was standing behind the wall.

soshiro stopped, as if he had given you the go-ahead to answer. but the moment before orgasm made itself felt. there was a complete mess in your head, which meant that right now you wouldn't be able to connect two words. you wish soshiro hadn't stopped, but if he hadn't stopped, you would have been burned right away.

— y-yes... — finally escaped from your moist lips, — maybe we overdid it a little, but everything is definitely good!

well, it sounded more convincing in your head.

— then I'm sorry for disturbing you!

— go already! — your sweet tone immediately changed to a commanding one.

at the moment when the awkward dialogue finally ended, you felt the excitement gradually go away.

the brunette abruptly stands up and you slide even lower, lying on your entire back. he penetrates you again with a still hard, excited dick and continues at a faster pace. while the captain was picking up speed, he put his face close to your ear and, smiling, whispered "good girl" the butterflies in your stomach stirred, as if after a long hibernation. It sounded too exciting.

— show me how I "overdid it", doll.

the guy continued to enter at full length. you both liked it. but sochiro's captain's gut made him want more. he liked to dominate, to be on top of you, to make you squirm under him. In a sense, he even had a possessive nature. but he never had the courage to show it in full, because it would be strange if he molested you in public, having the status of a "colleague".

— i'm getting close... ah!

— don't hold back, show me how good it feels to be with me~

soshiro presses on your clitoris and watches how you react. you start whining until you realize that the end has come. you scream, clinging to his strong shoulders, and soon you're buried in them. you're wet in everything you can get. your legs are shaking, and your mind is floating somewhere in another dimension. hoshina pulled away to help you get up, but your legs were wobbly. there was nothing to do but fall on his chest and wait for him to take care of you.

he tucks your hair behind your ear again and kisses you on the temple.

— good job, y/n.

a bonus!

kafka: damn, just look at them! I think they really killed each other there...

ichikawa: man, they kicked you away because they fucked. Isn't it obvious?

kafka: YOU MEAN HE RAPED HER?!

"You know... if you had been a little smarter you could have run away" Shalnark said smiling, pressing your body harder against the wall.

The train began to leave the station towards its destination, your look of desperation watching as the wheels moved.

"Oh, if only you had gone up a little earlier, I wouldn't have stopped you." Shalnark spoke in that happy tone he usually had.

But after living with him for so long you knew it was a false tone, you smell the anger inside him, probably that's why you haven't dared to look him in the eyes, just as you smell his anger, he smells your fear.

"Look at me when I talk to you" he ordered you in a cold tone.

"I don't want to" You refused now looking at the floor.

"Oh, Y/N. You're so cute" Shalnark grabbed your chin making you raise your head and look him in the eyes "A little bitch like you is in no position to want anything right now."

You gulped in fear, the words didn't come out of your mouth, you saw an opportunity to flee and obviously you took it, however you didn't know how to take advantage of it in the right way, now you were there, next to him again... all your effort went to shit.

Shalnark clung closer to you, your chin hurt from how strong his grip was, his other hand gripped your hip, his nails digging painfully into your flesh making you shiver.

"Little bitches like you are like that" Shalnark lowered his face a little to the level of your ear, kissing it and letting out a puff of hot breath "They take the best of good men like me and then run away without warning"

You tried to distance yourself, intimidated and nervous, but apparently that made him angry, although he didn't show it.

"What happened, Y/N?" Shalnark looked into your eyes. "You were being such a good girl for me, you were being so good that I was considering giving you a couple benefits, but you had to screw it all up"

You wanted to try to say something, but someone interrupted you.

"Gentlemen, is something wrong?" The station guard interrupted you

For a while that clouded your mind, your mouth immediately opened to ask for help, but a strong squeeze on your hip was like a slap to react.

Shalnark broke away from you and turned to the station guard.

"Everything is fine" Shalnark spoke to him cordially.

Your mind reacted, Shalnark and life were giving you a chance, life gave you this officer as another chance to escape, you knew it wasn't to ask him for help, you knew Shalnark and he was capable of killing the poor man in seconds, a man who probably had a family, maybe parents, a wife and children who loved and needed him; but maybe those seconds it took Shalnark to kill the guard would let you escape...

On the other hand, Shalnark was also giving you a chance to have some mercy on you.

"I'm just talking to my girlfriend, we wanted to buy some tickets to travel another day" Shalnark explained to the guard.

If you supported Shalnark to dispel the officer's doubts... he would be more merciful when thinking about a punishment for you... he wouldn't make you suffer... too much.

You gulped and took Shalnark's hand, trying to soften the fear on your face.

"We both have vacations from our jobs, so we wanted to take a little getaway" You argued in favor of Shalnark, grabbing his arm in a smiling manner.

The guard looked at you somewhat doubtfully due to the sudden change in your expression, however, he preferred to believe you to avoid any problems.

"Okay... If you need to see the travel offers, you can go to the station reception" The station guard left you alone, walking in unison to the next train leaving.

You let out a sigh of relief as he left, before you felt Shalnark's hand on your shoulder pulling you close to him.

You looked up somewhat fearfully but his expression was calmer as both of his hands took his face.

"Good girl, you did well." Your shoulders relaxed slightly "It seems that pretty little mouth of yours can also say smart things"

You felt his hand pull you, your mind momentarily clouded by your thoughts, so you just let him guide you as you walked.

For now... you chose a false peace... although you preferred that to carrying the death of a person on your conscience.

When you reacted, you were in an empty alley of the station, dark, narrow and far from the rest.

"W-what are we doing here...?" You asked nervous and confused.

"I want to see what else that pretty little mouth of yours can do" Shalnark whispered smiling, pushing you against the cold wall.

"B-but... Shal-Shalnark" You stuttered nervously and embarrassed.

"Do you really think you're in a position to deny me something? I'm going to consider lightening your punishment for being a stupid, homeless bitch only if you're obedient" Shalnark whispered in a cold tone and with that terrifying but permanent smile from ear to ear "Besides, I need it now, you've been away for a couple of weeks and my cock needs to free itself now that you're here, you have to make it up to me"

Nervous and afraid you simply knelt on the floor, you could see the bulge in his pants, you swallowed and took a deep breath.

"You're not going to play innocent now, are you?" Shalnark grabbed your hair and pressed you against his growing bulge, rubbing your face there "You're a good cocksucker, only your pretty throat is so deep for a cock like mine"

Shalnark couldn't help but delight in your bright, fearful eyes, with that pathetic expression while the bulge of his cock massaged your pretty face.

You half managed to overcome your embarrassment and opened Shalnark's pants, you knew that if you did it right, he would have more consideration for you, but you hated feeling this denigrated and dirty.

You took willpower and pulled down his boxers, watching as his erect member was released, the red tip releasing precum.

With a smile Shalnark took his cock, putting it on top of your face sadistically, his balls a little under your chin and the glans on your forehead.

"Stick out your tongue darling, like the cute cocksucker you are" Shalnark spoke in a mocking tone, taking his cell phone out of his jacket pocket.

You stuck out your tongue in embarrassment, watching the camera point at you, listening to the sound of each click every time the cell phone took a photo of you, completely humiliated.

"I'll put it as my wallpaper, so I'll remember the first time I made you suck my cock in a train station" He said happily as if it were a memorable moment "Now open your mouth like a good girl"

You opened your mouth between small tears, while his cock was inserted, you felt the salty taste and it took a little for your mouth to receive it wide, but Shalnark's gaze on you reflected superiority, sadism and lust.

His hand caught a fistful of your hair making you swallow deeper, his glans lodged aggressively in your hot, narrow throat.

You gagged and let out choking gasps as Shalnark moaned in pleasure.

"Breathe through your nose honey, a couple of weeks can't make you miss practice" Shalnark said sadistically going deeper, his heavy balls hitting your chin and his blonde hairs tickling your reddened nose "Unless you've gotten this far in your little escape by doing these kinds of favors for other guys, after all you're a little bitch, you love to wag your tail at everyone, that's why I've got you locked up"

You gagged more at the first thrust deep into your throat, tears running down your cheeks and strings of your saliva beginning to wet Shalnark's balls.

"A dumb little brain like yours doesn't usually have good ideas after all" Shalnark gasped at the hot sensation of your throat "Your stupid little head forgets that only a big, thick cock like mine knows how to discipline that slut throat that you have"

The fist in your hair was harder and the thrusts were slow and deep, making you cry and gasp, you felt his words sink into your head.

"Yeah, maybe that's it, you've been sucking other men's ridiculous little cocks and that's why you've forgotten how to suck a real cock" Shalnark pulled his cock out of your mouth, using it to slap your dumb face and paint it with spit and precum

You felt so dirty and humiliated, you looked at the lust and contempt in his eyes and you couldn't help but whimper, you hated yourself... you hated yourself so much...

You wanted to run away and at the same time when he spoke to you and approached you, you didn't know how to react, maybe that's why he treated you like that, like a brainless fool, because you acted like that in front of him.

His words hurt you, but you ended up believing them sometimes...

"No..." You tried to defend yourself in vain.

"Are you going to defend yourself? Well, do it. You know the only way to do it, show me that you are good at receiving my cock and I will believe that you have not been walking around like a slut sucking other men" Shalnark caressed your face guiding you to his glans again

Without any choice you began to lick and suck, your lips going up and down around his circumference, releasing small tears from the pain of him pulling so much on your now messy hair.

You listened his gasps and grunts, as he moaned your name, you looked into his eyes as you gave his red, swollen glans a good suck.

You went down to his balls licking them as precum dripped onto your face.

"Good girl..." Shalnark stopped pulling your hair and caressed your face as he rested his cock on your cheek "Could you take a "deep throat," honey?"

You tried to think about it nervously but when you felt his warm hands caress your lips your brain melted.

"Of course, you can, because you are a good girl, a good girl for me" his fingers pulled your chin down making your mouth open "Your punishment will be easy, only if you obey me, my love"

After conditioning you, you just nodded, whimpering as his thick cock jammed into your throat.

"Shhhh... just like that" Shalnark complimented you in a moan starting to push hard into your throat.

Shalnark's cock fit hard into your throat, it felt like heaven for him, it was a magical sensation, not only that you were sucking him, but that feeling of power he had now, the fear and slight excitement with which you saw him. It was sublime.

Your throat was so narrow and it gave a tight, warm welcome to his cock in need of affection, YOUR affection.

After several minutes his milky cum filled your throat and mouth, he obviously made you swallow it and smiled cruelly at your dazed and tearful expression.

He pulled out of your mouth and along with his cock came small strings of combined saliva and semen.

"Adorable" Shalnark laughed wiping your lips with his thumb and putting it in your mouth then you instinctively sucked on it.

Shortly after, he adjusted his pants and helped you stand up, caressing your hair a little and kissing your face affectionately.

Shalnark pulled your hand and took you to the car, he left you sitting in the passenger seat, closed your door and sat in the driver's seat.

"I'll think about your punishment when we get home" Shalnark said, giving you his jacket and caressing your face "But since you've behaved well now, it will be less severe"

You saw the car key turn and heard the engine start, you looked at everything around you still disoriented, but there was resignation in your eyes, you knew there would never be an escape.

"If you run away again" You flinched at the painful grip on your thigh "I'm not going to fuck your throat in an alley anymore, wherever I find you I'll kill the people around you and I'm going to fuck you right there and it won't just be your throat."

You looked down at your thighs in fear and nodded.

"Everything I do, I do because I love you" Shalnark said sweetly, pulling your head to him and kissing your hair, after comb it a little he started to drive with his eyes on the road "Do you understand, my love?"

"Y-yes, honey" You said with a fearful smile.

Thanks for reading this shit 🤍

The Secret of Us and the allegory of the puzzle...

I think one of the major overarching themes in this series is that you cannot force something to fit where it doesn't want to belong. And the only way to 'complete' the picture, ideally, is to patiently allow the pieces to be put together in the way they're supposed to.

I really really want to talk about Lada and how much I resonated with her as a character. In order for me to do that, I have to explain some cultural insights that revolve around Lada's familial structure.

Funnily enough, I was recently discussing certain matrilineal cultures that exist in Thailand and how they perpetuate a lot of bigoted ideals... and that is shown beautifully in Lada's relationship with her parents and how they each react to her queerness. To me, it seemed clear that Lada's parents' marriage was born from matrilocal customs. And unfortunately, that's not really something you would be able to pick up on if you weren't Thai (or natively Asian in general). So... in these types of families, women hold a lot of authority, and that authority is passed on through the female line (which is why daughters are valued over sons). The wife would manage and have the final say regarding household matters, including how the children are raised... and the husband's duty would be to respect his wife. A mother and her daughter maintain a continuous relationship with one another as, should the daughter marry, her husband would come to stay with them until they have a family of their own (and sometimes even after). It's a good way to strengthen matrilineal kinship, but it puts enormous cultural pressure on the daughter who is raised with very high expectations... the most pressuring of which is to marry a man and to have natural born children. Should the daughter not 'fit' this mold, they are often ostracized from the family.

It gives new meaning to hearing Khun Russamee say, "Lada is the seed I've nurtured since birth," doesn't it? It's why she is so against accepting and understanding Lada and Earn's relationship. Because in her mind, there doesn't exist a future where two women can uphold these matrilineal customs... and so the only reason Earn must be pursuing Lada is for some form of exploitation (i.e. money). She justifies her cruel and queerphobic behavior to keep them apart as some form of misaligned protection of her daughter and her daughter's future... to keep her from being taken advantage of and to help her see reason. It doesn't excuse the behavior at all... but at least you can understand the motivation (no matter how terrible). These types of mothers exist in the reality of Thai society... it's not just some cliched villain narrative. I'm speaking from experience here (NOT MY MOM! I LOVE MY MOM... my mother's mother).

In Thailand, we hold strong to the notion of บุญคุณ ('bunkhun'). This notion perpetuates the idea that we owe an endless debt of gratitude to our parents. It's seen as our "moral obligation". (Similar ideas exist in other Asian countries, as well)

Lada has done everything right. She's loved and obeyed her mother, she's cultivated a successful career with intentions to take over from her parents' leadership of the hospital, she's set herself up to be able to support her family's needs... She cannot imagine a life where her mother could ever not support her or her choices. Her one "fault" is that she is in love with a woman and refuses to conform to her mother's insistent heteronormative intentions (I loved the juxtaposition of this against P'Nu's defeated acceptance btw). She's rightfully exhausted from all the pressure to 'fit' her mother's mold of the perfect daughter, and Earn recognizes that.

So when her mother falls ill, and Lada is expected to take responsibility, it makes sense from the perspective of her familial structure. When she sacrifices her happiness for her mother and Earn understands the reasons why... it makes sense. Khun Russamee only comes to believe that Earn truly does love Lada once Earn willingly steps away from their relationship to ease Lada's mother's expectations... it's twisted, but it makes sense. And Khun Russamee does apologize, for whatever the frik that's worth (I can only try so much guys 😞😞😞) It's just part of our ingrained culture to value family despite their abusive behaviors. And as much as I wish that weren't the case, these views remain an actual reality. So, it isn't dishonest to portray them.

...The point is, the final pieces of the puzzle could only come together once they were allowed to. And then we finally got our happy ending!!!

Could certain story elements stand to be improved? Yes... but they're no worse than anything we've seen from BL series. And I do believe as time goes on, with more and more GL content being made, the writing will get better and stronger (I hope 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾).

Despite the more problematic writing, Lingling and Orm were outstanding in their roles. Never have I seen two artists, in all of the Thai QL I've watched, be so in tune to their characters and their emotions. Everything from their dramatic scenes to their more subtle facial expressions were completely on point. It was a pleasure to witness... and the biggest draw for me as a viewer. Well done!!!

Hi! I love how you write reader x Jing Yuan, so can I ask for something with them? It is a bit more serious than those to previous, so Jing Yuan with a reader who has to deal with trauma? Because of that she is more closed than other people and needs more time to trust others. But under this cold and unapproachable mask she is a sweet and kind person who wants the best for her close one. She also deals with other consequences of trauma but tries to deal with them. If you want to be more specific it was because she grew up in a dysfunctional family and was emotionally abused and sa. I hope that this doesn't make you uncomfortable, no need to write if you feel this way. English is not my native language, so sorry for any mistakes

Description: Traumatized reader meets Jing Yuan, the teddy bear. I personally have never written a traumatized character that had been SA’d before, so hopefully this is good enough. I don’t romanticize anything in this, but explain the way that Jing Yuan would react to you if you told him.

Word Count: 519

cw / notes: [ MDNI but i can’t stop you ] traumatized!reader, there will be mentions of SA, emotional abuse, family trauma, aloof!reader, fem!reader, i also don't go into depth about the trauma so this could be taken as anything

Jing Yuan

SFW

You’re generally very aloof and closed off, making it seem like nothing affects you

But Jing Yuan has seen this story before and knows you hide something underneath

He won’t press or push, but offer his shoulder to lean on if you ever need it.

You don’t take it, though, you wait until it bubbles to the surface, and now you’re crying and having a flashback

The first time you told him about what had happened, you were in the middle of a flashback

All he did was hold you close to him, silently, as you cried in his arms

When you came out of it, you kinda shut down. You didn’t talk about it anymore and didn’t show any emotion. You just felt like a husk of a human being

So he brought you to his place where he made you some tea and brought out his game of…whatever he plays. IDK what it is, but it looks like chess.

He started talking about his day, his woes of being a general (not complaining, he was doing it to make you feel better), and generally trying to get your mind off the flashback

It worked. Because the general is a smooth-talking man who can charm the pants off of an entrepreneur if he so wants to

It takes you a long time to warm up to him because you don’t fully trust him, and he respects that.

At the end of the day, he is a general and will have to do some manipulation to get his way, but he would never use it against you.

So you both play a game of chess whenever you’re feeling particularly triggered. That way, it staves off the memories and replaces them with good ones.

He lets you talk when you want to, lets you ramble, lets you cry, lets you yell.

When you finally break down and tell him all that’s happened to you, he comforts you, telling you it wasn’t your fault and that you’re in a safer place now

He wouldn’t let anything like that happen to you again

NSFW

Super super gentle with you and goes at your speed

If you are uncomfortable at ANY point, he will stop and ask if you’re doing okay

DO NOT lie to him because he will know

If you don’t like penetration, then he won’t use it; he will find out what works for you

He does have his kinks, but he will hold off on your account. Not until you’re completely okay with having sex with him

He will not call you any names either.

Just in general, he wouldn’t call you any derogatory name, just sweet praises and “loves” here and there

Aftercare with him, especially if it’s been a hard day, he’ll wash you

He’ll take you to the tub and wash you, something domestic and private between the two of you

And no, he won’t take advantage of the moment to have another round, he knows you already. He wouldn’t do that to you.

He wants you to feel safe with him, and that’s all that matters

'A TOUCH OF CULTURE' SENKU x READER HEADCANONS

Requested By: A Lovely Anonymous Requester Request: 'Hiiii, just wanted to say that I really love the way you characterize senku, it's just sooooo spot on!! I was wondering about your thoughts on senku having a latina s/o, I think it would be funny to see him react to s/o switching languages or throwing insults in their mother-tongue (greetings from Chile)' Age Rating: E Genre: General Notes: Ngl this prompt got away from me a touch and it ended up being more Senku with a s/o from a foreign culture -- I hope you enjoy nonetheless.

○ When Senku first finds out that a person speaks a foreign language, especially one very uncommon to Japan, he’s instantly fascinated. He’ll definitely ask them questions about where they learned it, where they’re from, and probably a few things about pronunciations that are just completely foreign to him. That being said, Senku doesn’t bombard them with those questions for the most part - generally he just listens to them while they speak, often idly while doing other tasks, and picks up on any patterns he notices.

○ If they infuse words from their native language into their Japanese Senku might be a bit taken off guard at first, but he adapts quickly enough for it to stop phasing him entirely after a few months or so. At first he learns their body language, able to figure out what they mean quickly enough - sooner than later he just remembers their native language word for the Japanese words they struggle remembering the most so he just knows what they’re saying and he can tell them the Japanese word after to help them remember it.

○ That being said, if someone uses the fact that Senku doesn’t speak their native language to say things he can’t understand he might get a bit irritated. In his opinion communication is best when it’s clear and straightforward, and speaking to him in a language he doesn’t know isn’t either of those things. Even if they’re just doing it to tease or insult him, Senku is likely to meet the goading with a ‘Eh? What was that? Huh?’ 

○ Until, of course, he can understand what they’re saying and (still in Japanese on his part) responds to them with full clarity. Between listening in idly to them speaking their native language and what research he could do on his own, if any, he manages a passable understanding of their language - especially of things they say often. Though he’s a bit smug at their shock when he responds to something they didn’t think he’d understand, he’s quick to ease any tension by explaining that he’d caught on to a lot, but he’d love any tips they might have on actually speaking the language: understanding a word and saying it correctly are two very different things.

○ If they are willing to teach Senku how to speak their language it’s a bit of a process, but he’s honestly the best student anyone could ask for. He does get frustrated when he stumbles and slips around trying to form his mouth to the right shapes, or flex his tongue to make a sound you don’t need to use in Japanese, but any time he gets annoyed with his lack of progress he gets motivated to try harder. His dedication is obvious, because he can be heard practicing difficult sounds under his breath while he’s working on science projects and blueprints.

○ Once Senku gets a basic handle on speaking the language himself he starts working on practical uses for it, of course! This ends up coming in the form of code, essentially. It’s unlikely that anyone they encounter on the island of their awakening is going to speak much other than Japanese, and the majority certainly won’t. This gives anyone able to communicate clearly in a way most people cannot understand a distinct tactical advantage. After teaching Senku, the only native speaker is tasked with teaching Gen, who is to then to help them teach others in the Kingdom of Science.

○ In a way this also honors what remains of that person’s culture after the collapse of civilization. Senku is very quick to insist that such benefit is purely passive, entirely secondary to the practical use of instating their language as the secondary language of the Kingdom of Science. While he did put so much effort into it quite as early on was practical in nature, he absolutely had that secondary objective in mind too.

○ In what feels like no time at all the one person goes from being the only person in camp using their native language, being cheeky and poking fun with words others couldn’t understand, to speaking in conversations with others eager to get a better and better grasp of a brand new language. Though it’s nothing like having a conversation with a native speaker, it is a small piece of home.

○ Along with interest in the language comes interest in where different parts of it came from and the stories behind the words. Though the amount of questions can get overwhelming sometimes, they’re an opportunity to spread stories of their home to the villagers, and introduce them fully into the world again. Senku also knows a fair few of the more commonly known tales from many places too, and is more than happy to tell a tale or two if they ever need a break.

○ Chances are the Kingdom adopts a few of the larger cultural events, either ones that are for a significant reason of respect/honour, or ones that are just a lot of fun! After learning a lot about one of those customs from the person closest to them the Kingdom would try to adopt a form of the tradition in their own way.

A/N: Hello anon! Thank you for your kind words! I apologize that this didn't end up being overly focused on one specific culture, or overly romantic, but I hope my take on your prompt was still a fun read! Thank you for your request!

Of course, thank everyone for reading, and safe travels!

dunno if this has been done already, but what about Desmond as a terror bird? phorusrhacidae were giant, flightless, carnivorous birds that lived during the late Pleistocene (ice-age). one of the largest ones found, kelenken, was almost 10 feet tall! and their skulls are very different from modern birds, just one solid mass of bone, and it's thought they used their huge beaks like an axe while hunting! they did have pathetically small wings though, similar to some large mesozoic theropods (think t rex and the likes, but wings instead of arms)

here's a pic i found on artstation! (credits to the artist Jack Wood)

i think they'd also be strong enough to be ridden soooooo have fun!! hehehe <3

I read ‘like an axe’ and I immediately thought of this scene:

“Look at the little native, having an ugly bird next to him. Can you even fight with that ugly thing squawking at your ear.”

Ratonhnhaké:ton grabbed Desmond by the legs and Desmond immediately go stiff, little wings arched slightly.

“Yes.” Ratonhnhaké:ton blandly replied before hurling Desmond towards the redcoat who taught insulting his opponent would be a good move.

It would be the last move he’d ever make.

Before the redcoat could even react, the speed of which Ratonhnhaké:ton threw Desmond was hard enough that Desmond’s hard beak pierced his skull.

The redcoat fell down and Desmond gripped his cheeks, digging his talons onto his skin as the redcoat screamed. Desmond began to slam his beak over and over again, widening the wound and ignoring all the blood and viscera flying everywhere.

By the time Desmond’s beak was drenched in blood with a dead redcoat under him, Ratonhnhaké:ton had killed every other redcoat in the platoon, taking advantage of the surprise and horror all the others had felt watching such a gruesome slow death.

more jekyll & hyde alien drawings :)

assorted lore dump below the cut:

Jekylls and Hydes adapted their split forms to fill two important evolutionary niches: community, and survival. Jekylls intentionally have duller, safer appearances, and exist to signal friendliness and create social bonds. Hydes, on the other hand, have weapons built into every aspect of their form, and are adapted for fighting, fleeing, and thriving.

Hydes are shorter because some of their mass goes to creating their wings and tail. As they transform and lose height, this also splits their horns apart.

They do not have a concept of gender, instead assigning pronouns to form in their native languages (usually). 

They do, however, have a subsection of the species that can carry children (~25%) and a subsection that can contribute genetic data to the childbearer (~75%).

Multiple parents can contribute DNA to any given childbearer, similar to earthen cats, except the DNA is considered for the same child instead of a litter.

They also have no concept of sexuality. Individuals may show a preference for pairing with members of the species that can or cannot give birth, but it’s fairly rare.

Their birthing process is pretty similar to humans, with only a single child (usually) incubated within a parent’s womb for a while. There is a failsafe membrane around said womb during pregnancy that ensures form switching is not hard on the fetus.

Jekylls and Hydes do not usually form monogamous partnerships the way humans do. Jekylls, especially those who have birthed children, will usually form a small group of respectable friends who will all help parent the child. Hydes, or at least those who indulge in them enough, may find sexual partners whom they repeatedly meet up with over other, random encounters.

A child is always born in their Jekyll form, developing their Hyde form only in adolescence (human age equivalent of 10-12). Their horns begin growing in around early adolescence. They begin as two harmless nubs that over time, fuse into the full halo. The moment their halo forms coincides with the development of their Hyde side, and only when individuals transform for the first time does their horns sharpen from splitting apart. 

This milestone in one’s life is colloquially referred to as their "split."

Younger members of the species are the least adept at controlling the transformations, as they are often emotion triggered. It takes quite a few years (essentially, after an individual has gone through puberty) for one to fully control it.

Despite not technically being connected to morality, Jekylls are often viewed as the more respectable, civilized side, and Hydes as the evil, animalistic side. Much of society considers swapping into Hyde form an indulgence, if not an outright sin.

Groups of Jekylls will even react in disgust to another’s Hyde, despite all having one themselves.

Part of the reason Jekylls are seen as such is because they are sort of the “default” form of the species, with their Hyde forms only becoming prominent in adolescence (despite the emotions associated with their Hyde mentalities existing within them from birth).

Counterculture that takes pride in embracing their Hyde side exists as well, and you can find Hyde specific bars and clubs in the slummier parts of town.

Particularly for social events, Jekylls will wear elegant gloves, and it's considered impolite or inconsiderate for them to not. This is because the transformation into their Hyde will rip through the gloves as their hands are bigger and clawed, so wearing gloves signals a Jekyll’s intention to remain in their more social form.

One can easily identify whether an individual is currently a Hyde or a Jekyll, due to their vastly different appearances, but it is incredibly hard to connect an individual Jekyll to their Hyde, or vice-versa. This has given Hydes a sense of anonymity that they often choose to abuse.

It is common for Hydes to use pseudonyms while in their form, taking advantage of the anonymity.

If a transformation is to be forced, there is a transformation "potion" that can be administered to an individual to trigger a transformation between forms chemically. These are used in court cases, to treat medical conditions, as a black market drug, or, in extreme scenarios, as a form of torture.

Their bodies will almost always transform into Hyde upon death. This is because of the adrenaline spike and survival instinct that is triggered when dying. Because of this, most funeral rites involve burning the bodies or at the very least covering them up.

Dancing to the music of their hearts

Summary

After dinner at restaurant, Aziraphale drags a reluctant demon into a merry dance in the middle of the street. Will Crowley allow himself to be softened?

Aziraphale took a deep breath as they left Justine's at closing time as usual and exclaimed, "It was scrumptious again."

The demon chuckled and replied, "You always say that."

"Because it's true," Aziraphale replied, hooking his arm with Crowley's as they walked slowly up the street toward the bookshop.

They had barely taken a few steps when the angel suddenly stopped and said in an excited voice, "Oh? Do you hear that music?"

Paying attention, Crowley also heard some music that sounded like it was coming from Mr. Arnold's, but he had no time to react as Aziraphale had wrapped an arm around his waist, grabbed his other hand, and began to spin him around.

Crowley yelped, "Angel! What are you doing?"

Aziraphale playfully replied, "Dancing. With you."

"But we are in the middle of the street!"

Aziraphale continued to waltz them to the beat of the music and replied, "So what? It's dark and there's hardly anyone around."

Crowley, who had no choice but to go along, grumbled, "But still."

Aziraphale said, slowing down a bit, "Besides, even if the street was crowded, even if it was daytime, what does it matter?"

Crowley mumbled, "I don't know how to move to this kind of music."

The angel's hand tightened around his waist and he squeezed the demon's hand into his own before replying, "But you trust me, don't you?"

Crowley, offended that the angel would even dare ask such a question, replied hotly, "You know I do, Angel!"

Aziraphale smiled broadly and replied softly, "Then all you have to do is let me lead you. You can do that, can't you?"

Crowley could only soften at the genuine question and simply nodded.

Aziraphale pressed a light kiss to his cheek and said softly, "Thank you. 

Then the demon let himself be drawn into the dance without further resistance.

With his eyes on the angel's face as they turned, Crowley thought it didn't matter if it was crowded or not, dark or light. Aziraphale looked so happy, his eyes shining with joy, his cheeks flushed from the dance, his smile bright, the rest didn't matter.

So, taking advantage of a slight lull in the dance, he leaned his face into his lover's happy one and pressed his lips to his in a sweet and tender kiss.

They continued to kiss and turn, intertwined in the middle of the street, and even when the music stopped, they continued to dance together to the rhythm of the love song in their hearts.

The History Of A Progress In Black Glass Trinkets

Les Mis Letters reading club explores one chapter of Les Misérables every day. Join us on Discord, Substack - or share your thoughts right here on tumblr - today's tag is #lm 1.5.1

And in the meantime, what had become of that mother who according to the people at Montfermeil, seemed to have abandoned her child? Where was she? What was she doing?

After leaving her little Cosette with the Thénardiers, she had continued her journey, and had reached M. sur M.

This, it will be remembered, was in 1818.

Fantine had quitted her province ten years before. M. sur M. had changed its aspect. While Fantine had been slowly descending from wretchedness to wretchedness, her native town had prospered.

About two years previously one of those industrial facts which are the grand events of small districts had taken place.

This detail is important, and we regard it as useful to develop it at length; we should almost say, to underline it.

From time immemorial, M. sur M. had had for its special industry the imitation of English jet and the black glass trinkets of Germany. This industry had always vegetated, on account of the high price of the raw material, which reacted on the manufacture. At the moment when Fantine returned to M. sur M., an unheard-of transformation had taken place in the production of “black goods.” Towards the close of 1815 a man, a stranger, had established himself in the town, and had been inspired with the idea of substituting, in this manufacture, gum-lac for resin, and, for bracelets in particular, slides of sheet-iron simply laid together, for slides of soldered sheet-iron.

This very small change had effected a revolution.

This very small change had, in fact, prodigiously reduced the cost of the raw material, which had rendered it possible in the first place, to raise the price of manufacture, a benefit to the country; in the second place, to improve the workmanship, an advantage to the consumer; in the third place, to sell at a lower price, while trebling the profit, which was a benefit to the manufacturer.

Thus three results ensued from one idea.

In less than three years the inventor of this process had become rich, which is good, and had made every one about him rich, which is better. He was a stranger in the Department. Of his origin, nothing was known; of the beginning of his career, very little. It was rumored that he had come to town with very little money, a few hundred francs at the most.

It was from this slender capital, enlisted in the service of an ingenious idea, developed by method and thought, that he had drawn his own fortune, and the fortune of the whole countryside.

On his arrival at M. sur M. he had only the garments, the appearance, and the language of a workingman.

It appears that on the very day when he made his obscure entry into the little town of M. sur M., just at nightfall, on a December evening, knapsack on back and thorn club in hand, a large fire had broken out in the town-hall. This man had rushed into the flames and saved, at the risk of his own life, two children who belonged to the captain of the gendarmerie; this is why they had forgotten to ask him for his passport. Afterwards they had learned his name. He was called Father Madeleine.

For me.

Pairings: Jake x FemOmatikaya reader

Summary: You were in love with him, desperately in love with him despite him having a mate. You’d do whatever he wanted, however, you could just as long as it meant you had him.

Warnings: MDNI, sixty-nine, slight praise, innocent reader

♥ 18+ ♥ no minors! ♥ 18+ ♥ no minors! ♥ 18+ ♥ no minors! ♥ 18+ ♥

“Come on babygirl, for me.” How could you say no when his deep, raspy voice spoke his native tongue so alluringly.

“Okay, Jake.. for you.”

You could never deny him of anything, you were so sweet and naive that Jake took advantage of that at every opportunity especially the fact that you were untouched in many ways. He loved the feelings you gave him, and how you made him feel in charge in all aspects of the things he did.

This time was no different as you let him undress you from head to toe, his yellow eyes taking in every inch of your body. Every moan, whimper, and whine that has ever left your lips from his touches. He wanted more, wanted to give you more. Truthfully he just wanted to mold you into his perfect little fuck doll.

You shuddered as his hands roamed over your naked body, his long digits tracing over your stripes and freckles. He was barely touching you and you were already dripping slick. “I love how easily your body gets wet f’me.” His voice was dripping with lust, letting you know how ready he was to have you.

His hands groped at your breast before sliding down and disappearing between your legs, his fingers lightly ghosting over your folds before teasing your needy clit. “So good.. so wet.. ready to be fucked by my tongue huh..” he whispered as he pulled his hand away.

You couldn’t help but whine at the loss of his fingers disappearing from your needy cunt. The warmth coming from his body was gone, opening your eyes to see why. He was laid back on the mossy ground fully naked. He gave you a sly grin as he beckoned you over.

You let out a breathless sigh as you moved over to his form, your eyes trained on his throbbing cock. The saliva pooled in your mouth as you eyed him, wanting nothing more than to feel the tip pressed against your tongue. Your movements were shy and unsure, thoughts focused on taking him into your mouth but also worrying about if you’d hurt him at the new position he had told you about.

Once you were comfortable and settled over his face, you could feel his hand gripping your hips before moving to grip your thighs. “You smell so good..” he growled out. “Can’t wait to taste ya..”

You felt his breath against your slick cunt, each pant he released caused you to shudder in anticipation until you finally felt his tongue lapping at your sopping wet cunt. A small whine left your lip as he briefly dipped his tongue between your fold, gathering the taste of your slick on his tongue. You whined softly your mind immediately muddled by the feeling of his tongue lapping at your slick. Your body reacted instinctively as you leaned forward hoping to open yourself up for him more as you took his leaking cock into your hand.

A look of concentration crossed your face as you held him in your hand, slender digits teasing the tip of his cock. Shaking fingers tracing along the head only to be replaced by your tongue.

You moan softly at the vibration of his groans against your pussy as you lick against his tip. Satisfied with the taste of his precum you took him into your mouth, moving your head up and down at a steady pace.

You felt his thick fingers pushing inside as you continued sucking, your moans had hun thrusting up into your mouth causing you to gag and choke a few times. Tears pooling in the corners of your eyes as you tried to gain back a bit of control, your names creating moon shaped crescents in his thighs. This had him growling, the sounds rumbling deep from his chest as he trusted faster. His fingers matched the pace of his thrusting hips.

Everything was muddled, your senses dulled as you let him fuck into you from both ends. The overwhelming pleasure was too much for your innocent body to handle, your mind went blank as your walls tightened up and before long you were creaming all over his fingers just as he finished in your mouth forcing you to swallow every last drop of his seed.

“Good girl.. such a good whore f’me.” He praised.

Cross-Platform App Development Services: Breaking Barriers and Expanding Reach

In today's digital era, mobile applications have become an integral part of our lives. Whether it's for social networking, e-commerce, or productivity, mobile apps have revolutionized the way we interact with technology. However, developing an app that can cater to the diverse needs of users across different platforms can be a daunting task for businesses. This is where cross-platform app development services come into play.

What is Cross-Platform App Development?

Cross-platform app development is the process of building mobile applications that can run on multiple operating systems, such as iOS and Android, using a single codebase. Unlike native app development, which requires separate codebases for each platform, cross-platform development allows businesses to save time, resources, and effort by creating a single app that works across various platforms.

The Advantages of Cross-Platform App Development:

1. Cost-Effectiveness: Developing separate apps for different platforms can be expensive. Cross-platform development enables businesses to significantly reduce costs by reusing a single codebase across multiple platforms. This approach also minimizes the need for hiring platform-specific developers, resulting in further cost savings.

2. Time Efficiency: Cross-platform frameworks and tools provide developers with the ability to write code once and deploy it on multiple platforms. This drastically reduces the time required for development, testing, and deployment, allowing businesses to bring their apps to market faster and gain a competitive edge.

3. Consistent User Experience: With cross-platform development, businesses can ensure a consistent user experience across different platforms. By using a single codebase, developers can maintain design and functionality consistency, resulting in a seamless experience for users, regardless of the device or operating system they use.

4. Wider Market Reach: By developing a cross-platform app, businesses can reach a broader audience as their application can run on various devices and operating systems. This expanded market reach enhances brand visibility and increases the potential user base, leading to greater customer acquisition and revenue generation.

5. Easy Maintenance: Updating and maintaining separate codebases for different platforms can be challenging. Cross-platform development simplifies the maintenance process as changes and updates can be applied to a single codebase, ensuring consistency and reducing the chances of introducing bugs or inconsistencies across platforms.

Choosing the Right Cross-Platform Development Framework:

When it comes to cross-platform app development, there are several frameworks available, each with its unique features and capabilities. The choice of framework depends on various factors such as project requirements, target audience, performance needs, and developer expertise. Some popular cross-platform frameworks include React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, and Ionic.

Partnering with Cross-Platform App Development Services:

While cross-platform app development offers numerous benefits, it requires technical expertise and experience to leverage the full potential of these frameworks. This is where partnering with cross-platform app development services can make a significant difference.

Professional app development services specializing in cross-platform development have the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources to create high-quality, feature-rich applications that can run seamlessly across multiple platforms. These services understand the intricacies of various frameworks, ensuring optimal performance and user experience.

Additionally, cross-platform app development services keep up with the latest industry trends and advancements, allowing businesses to incorporate cutting-edge features and technologies into their applications. They also provide ongoing support, maintenance, and updates, ensuring that the app remains up-to-date and compatible with the latest devices and operating system versions.

Conclusion:

Cross-platform app development services have emerged as a game-changer for businesses looking to develop mobile applications that can reach a wider audience while optimizing costs and development time. By leveraging the benefits of cross-platform development, businesses can break barriers, expand their reach, and deliver engaging experiences to users across multiple platforms.

Whether you are a startup or an established enterprise, partnering with cross-platform app development services can unlock new opportunities and drive your business forward in the ever-evolving mobile landscape.

Some idle speculation about moopsies.

The traits that humans (and presumably humanoid Star Trek aliens) find cute are those associated with infants - small size, stubby limbs, disproportionately large eyes and heads, behaviour that signals a need for protection and nurturing. (Which is the general response individual people have to things they find cute, whether that actually includes babies for them personally or not.) This is broadly true across social mammals, whereas the offspring of species that provide for themselves from birth without a need for a parental bond often lack these traits if they get in the way of how they feed themselves.

Hypothesis 1: Moopsies evolved to invoke this response to attract or distract prey. Kind of boring, but the most obvious explanation. (I'm not sure how viable that is, though - most advantages of looking cute seem to appear on a longer time span, and encouraging their prey to spend a lot of time close to them doesn't seem very relevant to moopsies' apparent strategy as persistence hunters. Maybe they grow up as brood parasites before they become apex predators?)

Hypothesis 2: Moopsies' appearance is a coincidental product of unrelated selection pressures in their native ecosystem - which is full of species (possibly swamp gobblers, for example) whose infants don't look remotely cute by human standards.

Corollary to hypothesis 2: Swamp gobblers react to human babies the same way humans do to the face of a snarling jaguar.
