Why can't nii give Sakura interesting layers to his character outside " traumatized socially awkward teen" like any interesting new revelation about him? Give him close or special person " relative, friend" anything!
His distant and closed off personality is boring icl
From where? All the people who discriminate him?
If he had actually had people who had accepted him before, why would had him gone to try to gain a sense of self-worth by beating people up in the middle of who knows where?
Sakura's character goes taking shape as he gets to experience things beyond reject. Like how his favorite food is omurice, probably because it was (I suppose) the first meal someone has gave him because they wanted.
But if we're talking about something he is that can't be linked downright to his trauma and the shitty life he had, then that be his kindness. Bro doesn't have a single reason to be kind, he just is. Despite how people took that kindness coming from him.
There's also how bad at technology he is. You can't blame that on his lack of bonds. Suzuri has only just started playing games (finally) and he's already better at it than him. Meanwhile, Sakura has had his phone since before joining Furin and boy can't type a single message. Yeah, you could say he didn't have no one to text to, but has he never used internet? Google or whatever search engine Japanese people use?
To be honest, that only makes me wonder what did he do in his free time. I mean, teenagers without friends tend to spend their free time reading or online. Did he seriously just sleep? Did bro spent all day sleeping or fighting?
Bro, is this how you got so good at parkour? Did you go up in any given chance to avoid people to the point you can compete with cats?
This kinda just made his character funnier to me. Here there's a teenager with no friends nor social life, with an avaible phone, who never thought on using internet to waste time.
I got sidetracked. Anyways, yeah Sakura's trauma is a big part of his character. No, he probably doesn't have any positive bonds linking to anyone of his past. (If he had, then probably something bad would had happened for him to move away of them so...) Well, I don't think he has. And about the last part—
"Distant and closed off" is really just how he starts. He's defensive, yes. But he's terrible at keeping people away and literally can't reject their kindness. Just on the first chapters bro ended up carrying a mountain of food because he couldn't say no. He also finished it all.
There's also that funny scene when he carries granny Sato on his back all the way to Pothos— only for her to jump off his back and land in a superhero pose (we love granny Sato).
He also goes to Anzai's childhood friend (the girl one)— I don't remember if he went to know what was going on with Anzai or he asked because she was crying— and listened silently to her story. That's kinda why he followed Anzai and all that.
And then in the Noroshi arc, after getting his ass beat and finally winning Endo (in whatever sense you prefer), he still helped him to get to the roof to watch the Umemiya vs Chika (almost typed Chiaki— whoops, wrong fandom) fight.
He's not distant (despite his name), he's defensive (hence the tsundere behaviour), mostly when he's embarrased, and silent. He's also really naive ("Oh, you're foreigner?!" and literally every interaction with Suo, lol).
He also seems to be a fast learner when it comes to fighting (he literally uses Tsubaki's way of kicking after the gravel arc, has used one of Choji's move before, and then there's whatever he did in the bridge), seems to have strong morals, and he also hates hats and glasses. Though that last one is most likely related to his trauma (i think it was referenced before, but I could be wrong).
A pity you find him boring, I guess. You don't have to read it if you don't want. You can also read it because of someone else besides the main character.
#sadly for you people need social enrichment to help with their development#and is told and shown many times how lonely he was before#so the chances for him to have some worthy bond from his past are really low#sakura is more the kind of character to enjoy watching grow like you see a see become into a plant and then bloom#what you're waiting for positive familial revelations then#well look at Kiryu right now#we're literally entering in his family arc#i enfazise positive bc i wouldn't be surprised if we later learn Sakura's related to some dangerous people or smth#actually i hope it happens#is just a trope i like teheepero#i love sakura guys#he's so cat coded#and characters who are good despite having all the reasons to not be are a guilty liking of mine#but onky the ones that give me this specific feeling i can't explain in the tags#only* damn it#wind breaker#sakura haruka#asks

hello hi hello !
PLEASE READ THIS !!! i have an ask.
I've submitted a request to gamemaker, and I'd greatly appreciate anyone who can just quickly "upvote" my request to ibcrease the chances of it being cobsidered.
my request is one for better accessibility. game development shouldn't just be for sighted people, but with the way things are it's impossible as a visually impaired person to even begin.
it'd help out a lot if you could please help make it known these features are wanted and needed, and if you coukd reblog this post so it might get some reach.

Had a moment of listening to music I liked back when I was a teenager (& still like) and having a whole. Realization . That I like myself as I am now sooooo much better than I like teenage me. And I started thinking about Why.
There's a lot to it I'm pretty sure, & most of it centers around the fact that I just... didn't really know who I was as a person. I didn't really have hobbies outside of what I did in school (aka orchestra) and like. Video games + anime. I did creative writing in middle school, but dropped off in high school for... some reason? I still made original characters and played around with them a lot, but it was mostly just in drawing and thinking about them. I never actually *wrote*, and I in fact didn't get back into creative writing at all until I was 23 years old. I was someone who had spent so long hiding behind others and just doing what I was told that I just... didn't have any real direction. I didn't know what I even *wanted*. I thought I knew, but in hindsight, I can confidently say that I didn't. I was just an insecure teen drifting through life and not thinking about things beyond what was immediately in front of me. Which is pretty standard for teenagers I guess, but not all of them. Not at all.
Compared to now, where I have Many hobbies, most notably being writing. As I am now, I am just Intrinsically a writer. And it's weird to remember that I wasn't even really *writing* before 5 years ago (besides text rps, which did a lot for developing my writing skill! But still aren't a replacement for writing individually). As a teen, I wasnt into dnd, I was incredibly out of shape, & I was a lot less aggressive and focused. I was the type to avoid sports!!! I hated them!!!! But as I am now, I Love biking and can easily bike for an hour+ no problem (I remember being a teen and trying to go on just 10 minute bike rides in the summer and just *dying* from it), & I love working out. I wanna be strong!!! I LOVE being strong!!! And I was an absolute mess with things like public speaking & working in groups, vs now where I can do an impromptu presentation no problem & I'm often the unofficial leader in group projects bc im typically the one who does the organizing and allotments of work. A side effect of working as a supervisor and then assistant manager for so long. I have a lot more confidence in my perceptions and judgements, & I have the self-assurance to assert these things. And this is only really the tip of the iceberg with all the differences.
I just feel like an entirely different person, almost. The cores are the same, or at least damn near similar, with the things I want out of life & the sorts of things I enjoy, but it's like. The difference between finding a random rock off the side of the road & then that rock when it's been sanded and carved and decorated to be something individual and unique. You look at them side by side and it's something dull vs something shiny and intricate. The origins can't be ignored and dismissed, & I certainly would never resent younger me for just doing the best with what I knew at the time. But it's just astounding how much difference time and experience will have for growing and developing as a person. Things I consider integral to my personhood weren't even thoughts in my mind back then. We are almost entirely different people.
#speculation nation#under readmore bc I just got contemplative. not negative really either.#ultimately it's that kind of thing of like. college & all my experiences within it have done a LOT for developing who i am as a person.#i wouldnt be nearly so comfortable with public speaking if it werent for how many speech classes ive taken over the years.#but it's also the fact that i was working to figure out who i was during college that made me fumble it so hard.#i wanted to be an engineer. can you believe it? i was so CERTAIN of it as a teenager. but it was only really bc of the family i have/had#that are/were engineers. i didnt have personal interest in it. it was just the Thing To Do.#so i got to college and i *hated* it and i had to take several years to figure out what i actually Wanted.#i realized pretty quickly that i wanted to focus on computers after my first coding class. but thats so BROAD#and computer science wasnt for me either. i fucking hated computer science. but computer information & technology??#this is my shit. and honestly it's so weird to remember that just 10 years i knew very little about computers#and now ill be sitting in my web programming class & theyre talking about javascript and loops and such within it#and im just zoning tf out bc Yeah Yeah do while loops ive heard it a million times before. arrays?? yeah whatever i got it#but back in 2016 i had to learn these things for the first time!!! it was entirely new to me!!! teenage me didnt KNOW#so me being a computer person with a specialization in business and hobbies of writing and biking and dnd. i had NONE of those things!!!#i didnt even collect knives!!!!! granted thats mostly bc i Couldnt buy many of them yet + i also didnt have much money lol#bc i never even worked a job until i got to college. that's also unimaginable to me. imagine not knowing what it's like to Work...#i remember getting $500 or so in graduation gifts after graduating high school & my mind was just Blown#had never had that much money before. it was crazy to me. meanwhile with a job paying every other week $500 was a *low* paycheck.#but i also have to pay bills and rent and buy food and all this stuff. also things i didnt have to worry about back then. ALSO weird.#idk theres a lotta bullshit i gotta deal with as an adult but i like who i am now so much better. feel so much more *myself*#than just a directionless teenager waiting for someone to tell them what to do.#it's amazing what 10 years will do for your development as a person. absolutely wild.

How Low-Code Platforms Are Transforming Healthcare and Elevating Patient Experience

The healthcare sector is a highly evolving landscape. The current race for digitization has made it crucial for service providers to stay updated with the latest technology and regulations. Patient satisfaction is of the highest requirement, but inefficient processes, paperwork, and security concerns often hinder positive outcomes. To enhance speed, transparency, and efficiency, many providers are turning to low-code platforms, driving digital transformation.
Why Low-Code is a Perfect Fit for Healthcare
Low-code platforms enable both technical and non-technical users to build digital healthcare solutions. It simplifies healthcare operations, speeds-up processes and makes healthcare more accessible for patients.
Most healthcare professionals lack IT training, limiting their ability to use digital tools. Low-code bridges this gap by providing an intuitive interface for rapid, cost-effective app development. With scalable architectures and seamless third-party integration, these platforms improve workflows, patient care, and operational efficiency.
Key Benefits of Low-Code in Healthcare
Workflow Optimization and Automation:
Low-code platforms like iLeap streamline administrative and clinical processes. Automating billing, budgeting, and resource management reduces manual effort and errors. Tasks like appointment scheduling and reminders can also be automated, freeing up time for patient care.
Seamless Integration:
A majority of legacy healthcare enterprises rely on legacy systems which is often a major reason for downtimes and slow processes. A robust low-code platform integrates easily with existing software and third-party applications, ensuring unified workflows without IT disruptions.
Customizable Features:
Low-code solutions automate emails, manage patient records, and schedule appointments efficiently. Platforms like iLeap also support threshold management and escalation for timely responses to critical situations.
Enhancing Patient Care with Low-Code
Patient Registration and Records :
Custom applications streamline patient intake, scheduling, second opinions, and billing, reducing wait times and improving experiences.
Automated Appointment Reminders and Feedback:
By automating reminders and surveys, healthcare staff can focus on critical tasks, reducing no-shows and improving service quality.
Telehealth and Centralized Communication:
Legacy systems cause fragmented communication and delays. Low-code platforms facilitate telehealth solutions, including video consultations, secure messaging, and EHR integration, ensuring timely care.
Compliance and Accountability:
Regulatory compliance is crucial. Low-code solutions streamline reporting and documentation, ensuring transparency and adherence to guidelines. By 2030, on-demand compliance reports will be necessary, making digital transformation essential.
iLeap: Driving Digital Healthcare Transformation
iLeap enables healthcare providers to build secure, scalable applications tailored to their needs. By optimizing workflows, financial management, and patient experiences, iLeap helps organizations stay ahead in digital transformation.

haha it's so awesome that Qi Xiaotian is like. canonically romance averse and implied to be nonpartnering. and everyone respects that. it's so awesome that nobody ignores that part of his character for a ship that kinda sucks. right.
#im not tagging this as anything fandom the last time i posted about xiaotian being aro coded i got a ship discourse blogger in my notes#and they were misinterpreting my post because DUH. thats what discourse bloggers do. they love being bad at reading.#'huhuhu romance being used in place of character development is ok when the characters influence each others development' i mean yeah.#thats not what i was saying. can you take this 3rd grade reading comprehension test rq for me please.#anyways if that blogger sees this#know that i based a shithead traumatized loser spidersona off of that interaction#they delete their discourse blog and it shows that theyve matured as a character#and they now have better priorities and theyre on the way to recovering from trauma#so. i hope that was blatant enough for you?#idk i can never tell whats too vague for discourse bloggers. you can never know how#uhm#theres no nice way to say this. you can never know how stupid a discourse blogger can be#there is always a new low! keep digging!

BMW Mercedes-Benz and Portugal (television, newspapers, magazines, radio and more) do CYBERCRIME. They access people's data via PC, Smartphone and more. They know, when we call, they hear everything, they know what we are researching and they can change accounts as if it were us. They get bills, photos, bank accounts, old files and current files, they get everything that belongs to the person. They didn't want it to be known that they commit CYBERCRIME. Neither changing devices, nor changing accounts, nor paying for a good antivirus. They manage to carry out CYBERCRIME in companies to get what they want.


#truly wonder if we will develope governmental free coding kits to aid the 99% in cyberwars#last month i got phished and charged four orders of KFC counter hacking is future burn all meches#vile power feels bit less overwhelming since internets been connecting us#just dont let morale go low do what’s good to you and works and we will see safer times#we hopecore even if w bots in this blog

A war is raging in my ADHD and sleep deprived riddled brain where I feel like I should focus on one of my current aus (Project Artemis <- space au or Mnemonic au <- Shadow in frontiers or Team Nebula and the Comet of Time <- Silver and oc focused au) but i keep thinking of new ones??? Help????????
Like okay. Currently cursed with the thought of Silver having newly gained immortality status and realizing he's never going to see his friends again and Shadow who has been alone for almost a century (there was an accident with Omega and he did not make it) by the time they meet up in the future. Both have changed considerably with Sage now at the helm of the Eggman Empire. Shes not nearly as antagonistic as Eggman was but is still around.
It's an au focused around grief in a sense but also filled with hope. Maybe Sonic is still kicking around on the Starfall Islands without anyone knowing as cyberspace stored whatever digital memories there were of him.
The world just refuses to let the cycle of good and evil doing battle end despite neither party wanting to continue and how do even go about breaking such a thing ya know?
#starr.txt#i dont have a name for this but im teying to develop designs for Shadow and Silver#theres probably some amount of Shadilver or something else like that but its pretty low key very QPR coded ya know#these guys do not do romance#but like yeah i am working on a fic that would kinda serve as a prologue to this whole thing sishdodgdjd
