TW: blood!

Hey did anyone ask for doodles with my OC Jonathan from my Batman fic FCMH SCMS?? No? Well, here they are! Because I am procrastinating, and I might as well post the doodles that I’m using to procrastinate.

Minor spoiler warning, I guess, for the fate of some of the side characters in the fic?? Their fates span several chapters so I can’t say specifically which chapter it’s a spoiler for.

I did mention in a A/N that Jonathan was gonna dye his hair. I still wanna make a smol comic with the scene, but in the mean time you lovelies can have this.

Honestly don’t know how Jonathan managed to deal with his father for so long, couldn’t be me lol.

Should I do a little explanation of the side character’s and their fates? I probably should, because it can be kinda hard to piece together unless explicitly stated.

Marcel — Martin’s side piece The guy who’s an overall handyman in their facility. Got a problem with test samples? A problem with plumbing and Dr Willard refuses to hire a professional to take care of it? Marcel can help. He’s a strong silent type who isn’t the most social, but he’ll help anyone who asks to the best of his ability.

Of course he’s probably the most we’ve seen of another researcher other than Martin and Jonathan, so he’s appeared in quite a few scenes. And it’s normally been pretty clear it’s Marcel if he does appear in a scene.

He was the one who tried to shoot the two dragons -even if he was never properly trained in that department- and Jason subsequently burnt his face off.

But he is alive! Barely, but he is. And Dr Willard really didn’t take it well when he learned what happened to Marcel.

Sarah — A side character that has reappeared now and again, but it’s hard to pinpoint as a reader because she’s not always referred to by name. Normally identified by the unidentifiable stains on her lab coat, she was one of the scientist testing on the two brothers when they were being scanned. She was also the one driving the second van that Jason was being transported in.

All of the scientists are smart, but Sarah is extremely quick thinking and adaptable. She made the decision to try and run Tim over even though they were terrified. She was also the one who used a wrench to smash Tim’s head in to get him off of Marcel.

And when she saw Jason, she was immediately like ‘lol, nope. Not dying today -see ya!’ And got out of there as quick as she could, because she understood the depth of the situation. Unfortunately leaving Marcel to a worse fate, but hey, she got out alive and that’s the most important thing for her.

So arguably one of the most intelligent people in that bunker.

Also, unlike most of the rest, she understood how serious their little research testing was becoming in the grand scheme of things. So instead of going back to Dr Willard and quitting, she decided to go into hiding and try her best to remain under the radar. Because she knows this will only snow ball into worse things, and she doesn’t want to be associated with it.

Mike — oh sweet, unfortunate Mike. Appeared, died, then got a tiny itty-bit of explanation from Jonathan’s POV. He’s the guy who got BD’d when Jason and Tim were exposed to abyssal salt initially.

He was closest to Jonathan compared to the rest, and it was only just before he died that it revealed how regretful he was of being a part of the facility. It was in direct contrast to what he told Jonathan, with how they needed to just continue on and not think too hard about it.

But of course Jonathan wasn’t there to hear the wails of man who knew he was about to die.

And that’s all the focus he’ll get in the fic… alive atleast ;)

Margret — The unfortunate soul who tried to restrain Jason and got her arm ripped apart by his newly formed teeth.

Of course when reading, you have no clue who gets injured in the fic until they refer to her by name a few chapters later. And of course she didn’t stay long because the injuries were serious enough that Dr Willard had to allow her to go to a hospital.

Fun fact! She has no clue what happened in the bunker after she left. She was officially cut from the program for security reasons, and forced to sign who knows how many NDA’s when she was barely lucid enough in the hospital. She doesn’t know what was happening to the test subjects. And she doesn’t know that the test subjects got out.

Of course Dr Willard is keeping an eye on her, but I can assure you it’s for no noble reasons.

~•~

So yeah! Those are the little side characters in the fic, I know it can be hard to distinguish who’s who (especially from Tim and Jason’s POV), but it was done on purpose -and they’re not that important anyway. Hopefully, this little post can just clear it up if anyone was actually curious.

If anyone is somehow interested enough in these goobers, and has some questions; feel free to ask! :D

[retrodummy]

lalala updated my OC’s ref again!!

(Updated 6/8/25)

anyways I’ve never really talked about her, so I’ll do that now!! (Under the cut, if you wanna read)

Her name is Maxine (Nickname being “Mail-Lady” because that’s what scm calls her), and she works at a post office along with her other coworkers! (Ill make another post with her other coworkers soon, maybe)

She’s nonverbal, so she communicates with sign language, writing, text, etc. She’s also pretty tall, being taller than scm and most people!

Maxine is reserved, serene, and reasonable, being able to take on almost any situation with ease. Which is good, especially with the stress her job brings.

The post office she works at is pretty strange, with its employees being equally strange, like I said I’ll talk about her coworkers in another post or so, but I’ll just talk about her involvement in it for now.

Maxine has regeneration abilities! Which is pretty helpful for the things she does with her job. The post office isn’t limited to delivering regular mail, no, they deliver anywhere! Literally, anywhere, even hell (she has delivered mail there plenty of times).

It can get pretty dangerous, and with her being able to heal herself quickly it makes venturing out to dangerous areas much easier, especially since getting badly hurt and almost dying is very easy to come across.

Overall she’s good at her job, and gets things done.

(Side note that I think is important to mention, she isn’t really feminine! She leans more towards masculinity and is flat chested.)

So that’s some stuff! thanks for coming to my ted talk

[imhereforscm]

Quick little headcanon/thought/theory/whatever you wanna call it...

Now, you see-

I like to think that MC is far stronger than the 12 gods combined—and maybe even stronger than the king!!

First of all: In Greek mythology,

there are 3 sisters. The "Moirai" (in Greek: Μοίρες).

They were:

(the youngest) Clotho—she who spun the thread, symbolising the birth of a soul.

(middle sister) Lachesis—she who basically led the thread and guided the soul throughout the path of life and

(the oldest) Atropos—she who cut the thread, symbolising the death of a soul.

It is VERY important to note, that in Greek mythology, even Zeus himself—the very king of all the gods—could not disobey them or dictate their decision and/or actions.

The Moirai (the fates) were the natural order, which NO god or human or anyone else could ever defy.

Back to SCM:

The king is a powerful being, which no one can defy. And no one can erase a king's punishment, or mark of sin... Except the MC.

So right off the bat, we know that even as a mere, small human, MC can already defy the powers of the king. I think that's no small fit!!

Also, as a goddess (Clotho) and even now as a human (MC) (in Scorpio's "promise of infinity" specifically), she seems to be the only one who can save the Earth from mass and absolute destruction. Something the king of the Heavens himself seems unable to do.

So... Even when now, as a human, MC is strong enough to bypass the king's powers, I'm wondering just HOW powerful she is as a goddess.

Also, another theory of mine:

We all know it's strictly forbidden for a human and a god to get romantically involved, but the king just....

🌸✨ALLOWED IT!✨🌸

And we all are like- "Ah, true love."

But I'm really wondering, if beneath the whole "I'm generous" act of the king, he's secretly like... "I cannot disobey the goddess of fate!!"

So........ Maybe we (us—the MC) are stronger than Leon too ;))

I mean... IN HIS MAIN STORY, MC SURVIVED A COLLISION WITH GODLY POWER AND IN TWO HOURS SHE WAS RUNNING AROUND LIKE NORMAL!! AND SHE'S HUMAN!!

So... Maybe there's much more potential to MC than Voltage let's on.

[the-blorbo-project]

Blorbos at Conference!

Long time, no update, but this project is moving forward! This weekend, we're at a conference hosted by the Society for Cinema and Media Studies, or SCMS, presenting as part of a panel devoted to fan studies.

Why do panels matter?

First and foremost, it's a way to get research before a bunch of other researchers while it's still in progress. This helps catch poorly formed ideas, surface new good ideas, and share what's coming up with the fan studies research communities. It's also good for our humble PhD student CVs!

The Findings

Of course, the most interesting part is what, actually, we're presenting, AKA the findings! They're a work in progress, and the hardest part is the coding (talked about here). Therefore, I'm focusing on what I could do deep analysis on relatively quickly. (note: these images don't have image IDs because I summarize them below, but they're graphic representations of what I talk about in the text).

The majority of survey respondents were young: about 39% were 18-22 and 32% were 23-27. A further 17% were 28-32, about 8% were 33-37, and then it got progressively smaller from there. Shoutout to all 3 respondents who were 63 and over! So glad you're here.

In terms of social media usage, most people used tumblr - unsurprising, since that's where we got our most traction for the survey. Discord was the second most likely. Part of a later analysis will be seeing if these terms are more likely to be used by different age groups or on different platforms, which is cool.

Almost everyone surveyed had heard of these terms. Blorbo was the most-used and meow meow was least used, but very, very few respondents had not heard of these terms at all. This may be in part due to how we used them in our survey recruitment, since we did want to find people who knew what these terms were so that they could define them for us.

These numbers slope slightly down because something broke when we imported them into NVivo (a coding software) and frankly I don't understand it well even when it actually works, let alone when it breaks.

Here's a little visual of the terms you suggested for characters. Unfortunately, NVivo crashes every time I try to exclude words from this word bubble (like "term"), so it's not as clear as I'd like it to be, but there are some interesting ones. Particularly interesting are the cluster of gendered terms; husbando and waifu, malewife, sexyman, boy, girl, etc. I want to do some analysis of this because it parallels some preliminary coding results. Y'all also really find your blorbos scrunkly/skrunkly/scrungly, huh?

I also want to figure out how to tell the visualizer that "glup" and "shitto" go together, because "shitto" all by its lonesome over there is cracking me up.

Qualitative Findings

Like I said, the coding is...so far from done. That's mostly due to some Ao3-author levels of life disruption from both of us. BUT! I can tentatively say a couple of things:

There are notably clear definitions about these terms. We weren't sure if there even really was a definition of "blorbo", but it clearly refers to a very specific kind of one-true-character. By contrast, comfort characters are associated with experiencing positive emotions, and meow meows are more likely to be evil or morally grey (but you love them though).

Unsurprisingly, your characters make you happy. We're distinguishing between general positive emotions, attachment, relatability, and one-true-character belovedness. Also sexiness, but that (surprisingly) hasn't come up that much.

There are a couple of ways in which darker themes come up. Villains remain beloved, but a recurring theme is also using tragedy or trauma in fiction as catharsis.

Finally, there's a lot of playful and tactile language. "Rotating him in my mind" really is that common.

Additionally, I'm really interested in the role of gender. Many of you referred to your blorbos/meow meows as your guys, with some of you clarifying that it was "my little guy (gender neutral)". Others noted that most characters you'd seen people describe as blorbos or meow meows were men/masc. This did not come up for comfort characters. Analysis of the characters you consider exemplars of each definition will help flesh out this analysis.

Still to Come

SO much. Who are these characters? Is a specific character exclusively a meow meow, or are they also a common comfort character? What types of positive emotion are associated with each type? Are these character types or do they speak to a fan's individual (or a fandom's communal) relationship with a character?

Additionally - we didn't ask about neurodivergence, but many of y'all referenced it. I'm looking forward to exploring that as well.

That's all for now! I present this live in about two hours. If you're somehow following this account AND at SCMS, please come by!

How is a supply chain strategy linked to a business strategy?

In today’s competitive and unpredictable global market, the integration of supply chain strategy with business strategy is not optional—it is essential. Supply chain management (SCM) is no longer a back-office function but a core component in driving business growth, profitability, and operational efficiency. Companies that align their supply chain targets with their primary business objectives tend to perform better in terms of consumer satisfaction and financial performance than other organizations.

1. Cutting Costs and Improving Efficiency

A strategic supply chain approach identifies cost-saving opportunities without compromising speed or quality. According to McKinsey, aligning supply chain and business goals can reduce costs by up to 15% and boost service levels by 20%.

When the supply chain management​ supports business goals, it becomes easier to identify cost-saving opportunities without sacrificing quality or speed.

2. Improving Customer Experience

Many companies focus on customer satisfaction when creating their business strategies. When a supply chain management​ strategy is well-integrated, it guarantees goods are delivered on schedule, are always available and meets customer needs.

According to Gartner, an overwhelming portion of supply chain leaders say connecting their strategy to customer experience is vital for growing revenue. Proper SCM leads to faster order satisfaction and visibility of numbers in stock which boosts customer loyalty.

3. Reducing Risk and Ensuring Continuity

Supply chain management​ disruptions can damage both reputation and revenue. Embedding supply chain strategy into enterprise risk planning improves resilience and allows faster, data-informed responses to disruptions

During the COVID-19 crisis, companies with flexible supply chains were 2.5 times more likely to avoid significant disruptions, according to a report by Deloitte. An innovative supply chain strategy includes backup suppliers, real-time data, and clear recovery plans—all of which support overall business stability.

4. Supporting Sustainability and Compliance

Many companies now set goals around sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance. Supply chain management​ plays an important role here.

EY found that 61% of businesses now assess the sustainability of their suppliers. A supply chain strategy that supports ESG goals enables companies to meet regulations, reduce emissions, and foster trust with stakeholders. It also opens doors to new customers who value responsible business practices.

5. Enabling Growth and Expansion

Growth and market expansion demand a scalable, agile supply chain that can meet increased demand, navigate local regulations, and accelerate go-to-market timelines.

If the supply chain is not aligned, delays and rising costs can quickly hold back growth. On the other hand, a flexible supply chain management​ strategy enables faster product launches and confident entry into new regions.

Key Supply Chain Management Providers

A lot of organizations depend on third-party supply chain management companies for well-rounded strategies, advanced data analysis, and comprehensive logistics support. Enterprises such as Suma Soft, DHL Supply Chain, Ryder System Inc., XPO Logistics and Geodis are focused on connecting logistics functions to the bigger aims of a business. Using third-party logistics companies to help with transportation, warehousing, and last-mile solutions allows businesses to achieve their key targets.

A strong business strategy depends on an equally strong supply chain strategy. Whether the goal is reducing costs, improving service, managing risks, or supporting sustainability, the supply chain plays a vital role.

Companies that align both strategies experience faster growth, improved performance, and higher customer satisfaction—giving them a clear competitive edge in today's market.

Karno ♋- Breathtakingly Gorgeous

For fluffbruary event ( @fluffbruary )

A/N: Today is Karno's day!🥺💗💗💗 Hopefully i did him justice. I hope you enjoy reading this!🌹

Prompts: urgency | kneel | rural

9th February, 2024

~~~

The rain poured down from the sky, like water flowing down from waterfalls. Not a single soul could be seen outdoors.

Leaning against the wall a man stood with a pen and some papers in his hands. His gaze was focused at the sight of the falling rain.

What was he thinking, Leon wondered? Placing his hand on Karno's should he asked, "What's on your mind?"

Karno stood motionless, as if only his physical form was present there; his mind was elsewhere. Leon tapped on his shoulder.

Karno finally replied,"I have been thinking about her...a lot." His honest answer brought a smile on Leon's lips.

"Why don't you tell her, how you feel?" Leon suggested.

"I will." Karno replied nodding his head in agreement. "But first i need to grant the wishes on these lists."

Leon knew how serious Karno was about his responsibilities since childhood. So Karno's answer brought a delightful smile on his face. He softly patted Karno on his back and said, "Well of course."

-

Karno sighed as the last wish on his list disappeared after being granted. As if reading the change in his mood, the images on the reflecting pool shifted; and showed you, walking down the road in a rural area.

Karno snapped his fingers.

Untouched by the rainstorm, this land was dry. The Sun shore brightly, bringing warmth to one's soul as they walked by. Green fields filled one's vision as far as the eyes can see.

An enormous house stood on the right side of the road. It's large glass windows reflecting the sunlight.

Standing there Karno pondered whether he should go inside or not. He still had the chance to leave after all, didn't he? Not a single soul would know that he came here.

"Karno?!" a delicately, soothing voice brought him out of his thoughts. You walked upto him.

A lighthearted smile graced on your lips, "Why are you standing outside?" you asked. Before Karno could reply you took his hand in yours; leading him inside the house.

"Make yourself comfortable." you said. As you were walking to the kitchen,"I will bring some tea and snacks."

The delightful aroma spread across the room as you walked in. Two cups of tea and some cookies on one plate and some chips on the other were on the tray; which you kept on the table.

You sat next to him on the sofa. "I hope you like our special tea." you said.

His face lit up as he took the first sip. "Thank you for the tea." A thankful smile adorned his face.

"Is there something you wanted to tell me?" you asked. There was a strange feeling in your heart. A combination of hope, fear and excitement. Whatever he was about to say is extremely important, you thought.

"I wanted to tell you about my feelings." He peered at you, carefully noticing, each and every expression that crossed face. His intention was to share his feelings, not to scare you or to make you uncomfortable.

Kneeling in front of you, he snapped his fingers. A vibrant rose, blue in colour appeared in his hand. " (Name), i love you." His gaze locking into yours.

"Don't feel pressured to accept my feelings. Do what your heart tells you." he said as the reassuring smiled appeared on his lips. The stars glowing brighter in those warm, gentle eyes.

Kneeling down infront of him, you wrapped your arms around his shoulder and hugged him. "I love you too." you said as you accepted the rose; putting it in your braid.

" How do i look, sweetheart?" you asked in a flirtatious tone. "Breathtakingly gorgeous." he replied earnestly as he softly kissed you.

Leo Sun Libra Moon Capricorn Rising

Yeah, I don't give a damn about astrology. However, I'm a fan of SCM, so I really want to write a post about my zodiac and compare it with the gods involved.

Leo Sun

Pros: creative, generous, passionate, warm, sense of humor, good leader, successful Cons: arrogant, stubborn, self-centered, lazy, inflexible, drama queen, dominant

Yeah, on the plus side, I doubt I'm very passionate, everything bores me pretty quickly, and I have trouble connecting with things, people, maybe ideas? For the rest, I have. As for the bad points on the other hand, that's it, apart from the drama side which I avoid like the plague and not being inflexible. It's complicated to have such flaws, but I'm aware of them.

How would cohabitation with Leon go?

Either really bad or really good. Really bad because I can't stand his disrespect. Or super good because we'd sadly be on the same wavelength about a lot of things. Shit.

Libra Moon

Pros: gracious, diplomatic, sociable, fair, cooperative Cons: indecisive, avoids confrontation, self-pity, can hold a grudge

Apparently, the moon sign is more important for women, probably because in the collective imagination, the moon is associated with women, and the sun with men. Anyway. In terms of good points, I see that diplomacy is for me, but more out of pragmatism and because drama bores me (which goes back to what I wrote above about Leo's drama queen side), for the rest, it's zero. Same for the bad points, I don't have much to do with it, maybe the fact of being resentful but you really have to go there and that something terrible was done to me.

How would cohabitation with Zyglavis go?

Very bad. I respect the guy, but I'd want to strangle him three times a day, at least. Zyglavis has nothing to do with the sign assigned to him, except the sense of justice, but with him it is inflexible, all black and white. Oh, and the classy side too.

Capricorn Rising

Pros: responsible, disciplined, realistic, serious, independent Cons: condescending, traditional, uptight, distant, expects the worst, unforgiving, know-it-all

I laugh a lot seeing Zyglavis being a perfect Capricorn instead of Aigonorus, with those adjectives. As for me, I have no discipline unless I'm rewarded BEFORE AND AFTER a regular effort. The rest is fine, especially independence. As for flaws, aside from being distant (without realizing it) and a bit condescending during five-minute ego trips a day to escape the reality of our world, meh.

How would cohabitation with Aigonorus go?

Dude, I can sleep as much as he does. The world wouldn't move forward with us, but it wouldn't go backward either. At least it would be chill, and we'd be two idiots talking to animals, with one who can actually communicate with them.

Do You Ever Look at Someone and Wonder, "What Is Going On Inside Their Head?"

If you do, you will love this blog! I would love to share with you my knowledge about brain functioning, neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology and more!

None of this sounds familiar? Don't worry! Here's a quick explanation:

As you probably know, inside our skulls, there is a cream colored sponge, called brain (yeah, I love calling brain a "sponge", it's quite common in my native language and it's fun), but do you know how it actually works? Not only in the biological aspect (neurons), but also how it creates mind (yeah, it's not the same thing, mind is more than just biological structures), psyche and, what's the most important, a person. Maybe you wonder why you're feeling emotions? How memory works? How am I possible to learn things and understand abstract issues? How about self-awareness and consciousness?

Yeah, so basically that's it, but not only. There's so much more interesting things that I want to share with you (so follow me to stay tuned ;) ).

But, who am I (author)?

Hi, I'm Tobi. I'm a first year student from Poland. I'm stu(dying) cognitive science, so most of my posts will be just issues discussed in my classes (yeah, I need motivation to study more). Probably I'm going to share some of my everyday student's life because content based only on science will get boring quite fast (it's not like shitposting about random stuff is just easier way of being active in scm and I'm also a little bit oversharing).

[star-crossed-mid]

Crack Theory

Scorpio (before becoming a god): "Thank the gods have heard my prayers. No more hurting others, I will be freed of the cruel and harsh ways of being a bad human and given a new chance."

The King:

Scorpio: >:(

Star-crossed myth has many literary devices. The themes of Orihime and Hikoboshi/ the star-crossed lovers trope. Hints of Romeo and Juliet. MC being the hero most of the time goddess of fate whatever. The gods being plot devices, forces of nature, important characters.

Sure you could say the Dark King is the ultimate villain of SCM but he doesn't do anything. I would even argue that some of the 12 gods themselves are antagonistic at times like Leon and Zyglavis, but they eventually redeem themselves. BUT you know who I believe is the ultimate antagonist of the game?

(100 % my interpretation/hc)

The king. Fuck that dude. None of the 12 like him, most of the interactions the gods have they're all super uncomfortable with him. I don't like him. I'm so happy his ass retires in Leon's route. I hope Leon undoes everything the king put in place to spite him bcuz thats leo energy right there.

He's written as an allmighty being who makes the rules to when it entertains him. Ik for a mf fact he made some of those rules up for the heavens to spite others and probably undid the rule the next day /lh. I imagine one day Zyglavis comes out saying he enjoys idk something simple like purple flowers. The next day purple flowers are banned in the heavens just for fun.

Like there's so many instances with all 12 gods that the king just does them dirty for no reason. I don't blame Tauxolouve for switching sides in his route when the king denied protection to his parents and used the 'well i didnt kill them the dark king did' excuse. Ichthys is uncomfy around him. Scorpio does not like him. I bet Zyglavis got beef too. I don't blame Partheno for trying to bring down the heavens when this mf is in charge. Also the king KNEW Partheno was mf plotting everything and didn't do anything until the VERY LAST MINUTE. Dui got banished to earth with the entire guilt of his past actions for the king to just say jk it wasnt that. I don't blame Huedhaut for raising his voice and becoming erratic when people have to get sacrificed in order to fix things. I don't blame Leon for being so arrogant and mean at first when he was probably coached by the king to be the next king. Denying MC immortality for being 'too selfish' in some of the routes when Ik some of the mf 12 for a fact are equally as selfish too. His last words to Clotho before she died was "Hope you aren't mad at me :(((". LIKE SIR? How are you in charge of a higher universal plane and everything STILL has problems.
