“snow in love”

"in that cold instant, ashton put his hands back on the steering wheel. watching him back out of the parking space was torment. luke felt like there was a beast inside of him, clawing and desperate to be set free. aching to get ashton alone. to spend a second with him uninterrupted."

or ashton takes the 5sos boys on a snowy vacation, and luke is disappointed that it wasn't an opportunity to hook up.

I don't think I've talked about this yet, but I actually have multiple universes for my characters. As well as names for them. The main universe I talk about, of course, is the pastelverse, also known as universe E-365. Another universe I've worked on is the magicverse, or universe T-365. The way the naming system works is the letters correspond with the amount of magic in each world and the number is days in a year. "A" would have no magic and "Z" would be practically overflowing with it. The mermaids that helped create Walapia come from universe P-239. Our universe, using this naming scheme, is D-365 (I'll call this realverse).

The Shopping Revolution: How Can Metaverses Like DecentWorld Reshape Old Habits

Shopping can be both therapeutic and exhausting, fun and mundane. And yet it only leaves a few unamused. Since the idea of selling goods on the internet was first introduced, there has been a clear distinction between physical and online shopping experiences. Whilst the traditional brick-and-mortar way of shopping gave us the ability to touch & feel, e-commerce was able to provide convenience and speed.

DecentWorld, a metaverse platform offering their users to acquire, stake, and trade geo-based virtual real estate NFTs, plans to present a revolutionary approach towards shopping. Creators of DecentWorld say that metaverse is about combining the best from both real and digital worlds and redefining the way we shop forever.

Their Marketplace will feature interactive channels for socializing whilst scouting an extensive array of digital real estate NFTs, and most importantly — users will be able to experience it all through an immersive & realistic 3D environment.

Bringing the Social Allure Back

DecentWorld is already seen as one of the most valuable projects within the web3 ecosystem for many reasons, one of them being its innovative take on e-commerce. The team behind the metaverse platform has set out to bring the social aspect back by crafting an immersive 3D user journey, where users will be able to interact via live chat rooms, try the virtual goods out and overall explore shopping as entertainment.

“Shopping online in the current online world is quite an isolating experience. You’re not able to interact, or feel the product, it is more or less a process of scrolling and adding goods to your basket.”

Our vision for metaverse e-commerce is different. The end result is to give online shopping a realistic touch & social allure back and lessen the isolation. With messaging features and the 3D environment developed, shopping on metaverse will be the definition of fun, efficiency, and convenience,” the team says.

According to the DecentWorld’s team, their one-to-one copy of the real world with correctly indexed locations will become a key fixture, providing a solid foundation not only for shopping but for additional experiences too, such as traveling and attending concerts, visiting galleries, and more.

The platform features 12 million Street NFTs, all of which are copies of the real world. The creators are planning to expand the Map soon, reaching a total of 18 million digital Streets. In less than two months since DecentWorld has been launched, the digital versions of the top 100 famous streets worldwide were sold, and the total sales of the Street NFTs reached $19 million.

The next realverse developments are even more exciting: DecentWorld plans to add an immersive 3D layer with standalone NFT Buildings available to be added to the Marketplace, with developed immersive inside spaces. According to the project team, this will lay a quality foundation for future product plug-ins.

Further Plans for Business Integrations

Through DecentWorld, users can find digital copies of every street in the world, purchase them as NFTs, trade them with others, or hold them and combine them into the soon-to-be-launched Collections, thereby earning yield.

DecentWorld is built on blockchain technology, therefore anything that users acquire becomes an NFT, providing full certified ownership. NFT Assets, due to their nature, will be able to be used, traded, or sold outside of DecentWorld within any other digital platform — full interoperability.

During the next stage of the project, DecentWorld also seeks to strike up prospective partnerships and onboard various businesses.

“The next step is to invite and onboard businesses, e-shops, restaurants, service providers — you name it. We are planning to open up our APIs to allow these possibilities from a technological standpoint,” DecentWorld’s creators shared.”

Demitri had to admit that it was rather a pleasant day outside. Being used to living on a farm, the sunshine was always a blessing and Demitri almost always ended up being in a pair of shorts and a chequered overshirt with the sleeves rolled up. Today was certainly no exception as he headed home, bags full of food that he had purchased from the farmer’s market. Granted, it had taken a little longer than normal as he had found an old friend there that he caught up with, but Demitri didn’t seem to mind.

Sadly though, sometimes sunny days had to have some clouds somewhere, and today’s came in the form of some men running out from a side street, shouting at each other to scatter and clear off. Curious and mildly concerned, Demitri reached up to his headphones to pause his music and take one out as he stepped down the side street. Looking around for what the men could’ve been running from.

He didn’t know what he had expected to find, but a person lying on the ground with several stab wounds was certainly not it. “Oh my goodness, are you okay?” Demitri asked as he hurried over, putting his bags down before checking the... man? Woman? Demitri couldn’t really tell. Biting his lip, Demitri pulled out his phone and took off his overshirt to press against the wounds, leaving him in a white tank top as he called 999

@jeanne-de-valois’s Alternate Universe Cas and Dean got me feeling some kinda way. Like ugh imagine uptight, stick up the ass Castiel a bounty hunter for HunterCorp’s rival, AngelCorp. And his pretentious ass meeting prissy, spoiled Dean Winchester without the closeted homophobia and an ascot. Like Dean would ABSOLUTELY flirt with Castiel the moment he saw him, and Castiel would be dry as fuck and completely rebuff him. AT FIRST. But then Cas starts noticing AngelCorp’s less than humane ways of hunting (less humane than hunting can be anyway) and starts to have doubts about the stories they tell him about The Winchesters. The more he runs into the brothers on cases, the more he starts falling for Dean. His feelings for him are even more scandalous because Castiel is the sole heir to the AngelCorp company, so it’s a classic Rivals to Lovers story with a lot at stake. And maybe Dean’s got some insecurity issues under all his flirt and flamboyance because Lisa left him high and dry after he wanted kids so he’s wary about letting Castiel in any further than fuckbuddy level.

And SAM??! Sam would be such a little prude bitch (like RealVerse Sam is anyway, just more stuck up and way richer) and the brothers would give each other tips on their hair care and skincare because male beauty isn’t something to be ashamed of and after Mary died John remarried to Pastor Jim (or someone) so he’s like totally absolutely supportive of his boys (unlike RealVerse John Winchester fuck him). Dean would absolutely go to Sam and ask which color shirt looks better on him and Sam would ask Dean every morning if his man bun is centered properly. They’d be just as good at hunting as their RealVerse selves without all the trauma and betrayals of trust, instead there’d be more arguments about the best hotels and snippy conversations where Sam teases Dean about Cas.

Anyway, after I finish with my SPNxBridgewater fic I think I’ll start an AU like this. I really wanna explore the AU Dean Winchester we met for like one episode and how a healthy dynamic between the brothers and John would play out. Also Destiel in a corporate/hunting AU obviously.

Beezy, listen to me. I have watched the realverse for sometime now and let me tell you, this. Is. The. Norm. Please do not blame yourself Beezy, this is a rebellion. A war. This is normal, terrible, but normal. Don't blame yourself. -therapist anon

“Don’t fuckin’ tell ME what a ‘normal’ war is like.” Beezy snarls, metaphorical hackles rising. You now understand why they choose to cut themselves off when they’re mourning. “After TWO rebellions, and human wars to follow! I have watched millions be cut down and cast out in the First, slaughtered thousands in the Second! I have sat with your human soldiers and watched as they drank themselves to death to forget, have stood by those who went too far until Death came to grab them. I know what war is like.” They laugh, although there is no humour to it. “And- and now, I’m getting attached to some ragtag underdogs who are already dying in my arms!” Their speech grows more rapid. “I know that the war is what I signed up for but I didn’t fucking think I’d be STUPID enough to like these people to the point where losing them would fucking hurt so badly...” They trail off, utterly broken hearted and, above all, exhausted. They take a deep breath before you can tell them to do so, although they are now shuffling through their coat pockets, looking for another fix.

“looks like superbloom merch”

“it didn’t even fit him right. it hung clumsily on his broad shoulders and melted like wet cement all along his curvy hips and cushy little tummy. the black almost looked devilish on his angel skin. and the bright orange made his blue eyes glow in an angelic aura when they shot up to meet ashton’s.” (or: luke steals ashton’s superbloom t-shirt. ashton f*cks him in it…)

From 12M Street NFTs to 18.5M in Less Than 3 Months - DecentWorld Expands Its Metaverse!

ZUG, Switzerland - May 13, 2022

DecentWorld metaverse expects a solid expansion leap, the creators behind the metaverse project announced. As of next week, the total number of Street NFTs will jump from 12M to a whopping 18.5M, a sizable 35% increase. A recently launched digital real estate platform that has surprised the industry by building a replica of our globe, offers its users a unique chance to own a digital copy of any street in the world.

The Swiss-owned metaverse platform, also called realverse, offers a unique approach towards the metaverse experience by creating a one-to-one copy of the real world, and they are inviting users to acquire and trade geo-based assets as NFTs. All the Streets within the DecentWorld realverse are available as NFTs, and come with unique ownership certificates.

Geo-Based Assets for Sale

According to the project team, if by definition there can only be one metaverse, it should be nothing less than the real world.

Built on a blockchain technology, DecentWorld is almost a unicorn within its industry. Unlike other platforms offering fiction worlds, DecentWorld features an in-house geo-based Map with real-world based digital Assets.

A huge addition of Streets is scheduled for the upcoming week with 18.5 million Street NFTs available for purchase. It marks the start of another project stage, dedicated to even more immersive new environments and introducing new game mechanics.

“We are very excited about this addition, as it will open up even more opportunities for our users. From the very start, the key idea was to make sure that we matched our metaverse environment to the real world as much as possible. Instead of designing a fantasy land, we decided to build a realverse that is easy to follow and understand. With 18.5 million digital Streets, this Map will be one-of-a-kind in the industry,” the creators said.

Virtual Streets on DecentWorld are classified into four different levels depending on the status of their real-world location. The more prominent or prestigious the street is in the physical world, the higher its ranking, and thus the more valuable it is in the DecentWorld metaverse.

So far, the total sales of Street NFTs have reached $19 million, and the most famous streets worldwide such as Champs-Élysées, Broadway, and Wall Street already have owners, having paid respectively $200,000, $800,000, and a staggering $900,000.

Virtual property owners will soon be able to combine their assets into artsy collections to tell unique stories, as well as trade their digital assets on DecentWorld's P2P Marketplace with other users from around the globe. Once launched, the thoroughly combined collections will become separate assets and will help to generate yield, thus fueling the internal digital economy.

Business Integrations

The expansion of the Map means more opportunities for future integrations. The project development team said it plans to open their APIs to allow other apps to join them in powering interoperability and growth. The ultimate goal for DecentWorld is to become the industry’s leading metaverse project, an open metaverse platform that is sustainable and relevant to a broad base of users.

“We hope that building a one to one replica of the real world will also serve as a strong foundation, attractive for other businesses and their products in the future. By creating something as prominent as a geo-based digital space no smaller than the Earth itself, we are able to offer vast opportunities & long-term value,” the creators of DecentWorld explained.

Other plans for DecentWorld include an immersive 3D layer built with Unreal Engine 5, open P2P Marketplace, E-commerce and other features, all planned to be launched this year.

Everyone has heard the word “metaverse” numerous times over the last year. A blend of virtual reality, augmented reality, sensorial tech, and spatial computing, the metaverse promises to give us a great deal of new life-changing experiences. Right now, a lot of early metaverses are being built with many different initial focuses and ideas for how to get it right.🧐 Speaking about DecentWorld specifically, it is almost a unicorn within its industry. Unlike other platforms offering fiction worlds, DecentWorld features an in-house geo-based Map with real-world-based Digital Assets.🗺 From the very start, the key idea was to make sure that project developers matched its metaverse environment to the real world as much as possible.
