Tumblr media
'humans are all the same, no matter where they are from' was something the great ada tennant had said to pandora. tennant had thought that with all her heart as most people had the same weakness and strengths as everyone else, they were all human at the end of the day. however nowadays she could gladly same there was an exception to her thoughts.
obviously the exception to her was you. the same individual that she met on the streets of paris where she first attempted to sell diamonds to but you surprised her by knowing what her scheme was. you had piqued her interest from that encounter as she had never quite met a stunning figure such as yourself who had the intelligence to call her out on her scams.
it was no surprise to tennant herself that she quickly found herself enamoured by your presence and found herself seeking you out, not just for petty scams that you were very convinced she was trying to pull off. she loved spending her free time with you, the arcanist became much more chivalrous around you andade your heart swoon in ways you never thought possible.
you wanted to memorialize your first date with tennant and so before she picked you up, you made sure that your polaroid camera was brought with. tennant spared no expense when it came to taking you out and she wanted to make sure you had the best time, so when it came to the end of the night as you both sood side by side on the skyline of paris and you held up your polaroid, she couldn't refuse you.
she hasn't been oblivious to the camera that you brought with you but she never mentioned anything as she could take a guess what you brought it for. so when you brought your polaroid up and brought her closer to you, she smiled and pressed a small kiss to your cheek eight as she heard the shutter click. another photo was taken afterwards and after she escorted you back to your accomodation you handed her the first polaroid.
she held that photo close and kept it in perfect condition, she feared that if she lost it she would never gain anything as precious ever again - not even the most expensive diamond could compare to that photo's worth to her. you felt the same really, the second photo was kept in perfect condition and displayed with pride.
it all seemed to perfect in honesty, tennant was the one of the best partners you could ever think of being with - she was so supportive and very quick to compliment you, to treat you right. it was endearing at first, making your heart swoon and fall deeper into live woth her but eventually you're mind started disagreeing. you see, tennant was very good with her words and still treated over people with the same admiration she would with you.
you knew it was part of her character and her trade, it worked wonders with clients who would happily purchase her 'diamonds'. however it just didn't sit right with you when she would start overly complimenting certain high end potential buyers right infront of you. you almost felt selfish for how you acted but who could really blame you when your lover was flirting with others - even for the sake of business.
you voiced your concerns to her as you didn't want your simple jealousy to tear the both of you apart but her honey sweet words that usually made you forgive her for small mishaps sounded cold and fake to you now. her reassurance didn't soothe you and it certainly annoyed you when she began doing the very same thing not even a day later. now you didn't feel so selfish for wanting her to tone it down.
she talked about chilvary and how she wanted to treat you like the gem you were but you really didn't feel that chilvary when she started becoming more distant. she told you time and time again that it was only temporary and she didn't want to get you involved and it made it more than clear to you that when you told her you wanted all parts of her if you were dating her, it went straight over her head.
you hated it but now you could catch yourself staring at the polaroid in your possession with almost a bitter resentment. a part of you felt disappointed in yourself that you fell for her honeyed words and kind actions, maybe she really was just a con woman that sought you out for a long term sale. you decided that you're heart deserved to be let free from the hands that brutally ripped it from your chest with distance and a disregard for your feelings.
the moment the words left your mouth, tennants face dropped. she knew something bad was coming when she came home to see you with a solemn expression on your face but this was what she dreaded. tennant knew and understood that she was becoming slightly distant and did disregard your concerns multiple times but she now realised her words had become fake to you and it was her fault for it.
she somehow managed to work her way back into your heart and convinced you she would change and you could only hope but wish that this wasn't a mistake. it quickly became evident that it was a mistake and all you could do is wonder how long would it be befofe you built the confidence to finally break it off. tennant knew she wouldn't be able to keep you much longer and it broke her heart knowing she had pushed you away - it felt cruel of her to convince you to stay but she didn't want to lose you yet although the way you looked at her made her want to beg for forgiveness. but now, all she could wish for is that you atleast had the kindness to let her keep the polaroid of your first date as a memento to the love she lost because of her own fault.

Adolescent Antichrist (Book 6) Chapter Eleven
Father Figure! Lucifer Morningstar x Teen! Reader
Demon! OC x Reader
Chapter Eleven: Someone’s gotta keep Things from going to Hell
Summary: Lucifer finds the answer to God's retirement. God has other plans, and an era comes to an end.
Mouse Note: I'm so sorry this is late I forgot to post it! (Family creates chaos, as I've found)
            “(Y/N), I found the answer,” said Lucifer, grinning ear-to-ear.
            “Answer to what?” said (Y/N), not looking up from their work.
            “God’s retirement,” said Lucifer proudly.
            “My beach idea?” said (Y/N).
            “No,” said Lucifer. “That would be my retirement as God.” (Y/N) laughed. “No, I listened to what He needed. I realized only one thing would be truly fulfilling.”
            “What?” asked (Y/N), actually looking up. This made them curious.
            “Come to Lux tonight and find out!” said Lucifer, turning away.
            (Y/N) groaned. If he’s being dramatic and mysterious, that can’t be good.
            Undoubtedly, though, they were going.
l
            Lucifer eagerly waited at the bar of Lux, and (Y/N) gave themself way too many maraschino cherries than would usually be used in a Shirley Temple.
            “Lucifer!” greeted Amenadiel as he entered and walked down the empty stairs. God sood beside him. “Why’d you call us here, brother?” He looked at (Y/N). “Good evening.”
            “Hey,” said (Y/N), waving and taking a sip of their drink.
            “What is that?” asked God curiously.
            “Give me a second.” (Y/N) grabbed the ingredients again. “This is better than wine, I can tell you that.”
            “How do you know that?” said Lucifer.
            (Y/N) ignored him and poured God a drink as God smiled. God took a sip and nodded.
            “Delicious,” He agreed.
            “I know, right?” said (Y/N), grinning.
            “Now, son, why are we here?” said God, looking at Lucifer.
            “Well.” Lucifer straightened and smiled. “After finally listening to what Dad’s been telling me all along, I realized there’s only one thing that’s gonna make His retirement fulfilling. So I enlisted Gabriel’s help to make it happen.”
            (Y/N) and Amenadiel looked at Lucifer in confusion.
            “Did you know our sister can deliver a message anywhere?” said Lucifer. “And I mean…anywhere.” He gestured to the stairs behind them.
            Everyone turned around. They stared.
            The Goddess of All Creation, God’s ex-wife, Mistress of the Universe—Missy (in (Y/N)’s mind)—stood before them. She smiled and walked towards them.
            Amenadiel looked at Lucifer, who nodded softly. That was really their mother.
            “Mother?” said Amenadiel as she stepped towards them.
            “Hello, my sweet boy.” She smiled. Her smile fell slightly. “Husband.”
            “Wife.” God was just staring at her. This was the first time He’d seen her in person for millennia. He moved towards her.
            “Lucifer, how?” whispered (Y/N).
            “Well, it wasn’t easy,” said Lucifer. “Mom says she only has enough juice for this one time.”
            “I never thought I’d see you again,” said God.
            “I never thought I’d see you retire,” said Missy.
            “Hm.” God smiled slightly. “Well, like I’ve always said, it’s a tough gig. But you understand that now that you’re doing it.”
            “I don’t find it nearly as difficult as you made it out to be,” denied Missy, but there was no malice in her words.
            God chuckled and smiled. “Then clearly you’re better at it than I ever was. No surprise in that.”
            Missy smiled at Him. “Well, I must admit, though, it does get lonely at the top.”
            “Lucifer, you don’t have to become God anymore,” whispered Amenadiel as God and Missy spoke quietly to one another.
            Cute reunion, thought (Y/N).
            “I found out Dad’s not losing His powers,” said Amenadiel.
            (Y/N) looked at Amenadiel and frowned. “What?”
            “Michael was gaslighting Him,” said Amenadiel.
            I really hate him, thought (Y/N).
            “It’s all been inside his head,” said Amenadiel.
            “Michael?” Lucifer scoffed. “Well, he won’t get away with that sort of thing when I’m in charge.”
            “Brother, do you hear what I’m saying?” said Amenadiel. “Dad’s fine. He can keep being God. Everything can go back to normal. Everything.”
            “Can we still do something about Michael?” muttered (Y/N). Michael seriously needs to be humbled.
            Lucifer’s eyes drifted to God and Missy, who leaned in to kiss one another. The reunion was going very well. (Y/N) smiled to themself.
            “We can be a family again,” said Amenadiel softly to Lucifer.
            Lucifer chuckled wryly. “Wonderful. Except for the part where I don’t get to become God and prove that I’m worthy.”
            Ah, so that’s what it’s about. His self-esteem. (Y/N)’s gaze softened. “Dad.” They touched his arm. “You are worthy. Of everything. You don’t need to prove it to anyone.” They squeezed his hand. “You just need to see it yourself.”
            Lucifer looked at them, and he smiled. If only he could see himself the way they saw him. He wasn’t good enough for them. Not nearly enough.
            “Lucifer. Amenadiel. (Y/N),” said Missy. They all looked at her. She and God were holding hands, standing together like a loving married couple should. “We’ve made our decision about God’s retirement.
            Lucifer put a smile on his face. “Ah, sunny Florida? Silver City?” He tried to clear away his self-doubts.
            “Actually…” Missy looked at God with a gentle smile. “We decided…we’re moving to my universe.”
            Amenadiel and Lucifer’s smiles fell. (Y/N) stared in surprise.
            “What?” said Amenadiel. “But you’re…both here.” He swallowed. “Together.”
            “Yeah,” said Lucifer faintly.
            “You’re just gonna…leave us again?” said Amenadiel. He blinked as his eyes burned. “Without any ability to come back?!”
            “Your mother spent a long time in my world,” said God gently. “It’s my turn to spend time in hers.”
            “Dad—” Lucifer stammered over the word and swallowed. Suddenly seeing this change, something he had never aimed for or truly wanted, meant too much. It was too painful. “A-A word, please.”
            God nodded. He cupped Amenadiel’s face gently, and Amenadiel gazed back at Him tearfully. God walked towards Lucifer’s at the other end of the bar.
            (Y/N) watched them go. They knew this was the end. God was leaving. Even if Michael was interfering, God had decided to move on. He wanted to do something new with his life. (Y/N) respected it. They also felt an ache in their heart. For the father Lucifer and Amenadiel had repaired their relationship with leaving. For the father all of the angels would miss. For the God the world wouldn’t know they were saying goodbye to. For the new family member (Y/N) would remember forever.
            They hoped they could carry on His kindness and compassion for the rest of their life. It was the least they could do for His memory and His legacy.
            Missy kissed Amenadiel’s forehead softly, promising him that he’d be alright. She hugged him tightly. “I am so…so sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye last time.”
            “No, I never blamed you, Mom,” said Amenadiel.
            “No.” Missy chuckled and smiled. “Of course you didn’t. My kindest, wisest, most perfect son. And now the perfect dad.”
            “I’m far from it,” said Amenadiel. “But…I’m trying my best.”
            “That’s what makes you perfect,” said Missy. She hugged Amenadiel again.
            With God and Lucifer, God paused after they had much of their conversation. They had said almost everything that was needed. But God still had a few more words He knew Lucifer deserved to hear.
            “At the family dinner…you were right,” He said. Lucifer looked at Him in confusion. “I could have been a better father to you.”
            Lucifer chuckled to disguise the sob that wanted to force its way out. “Well, now you forego your mysterious ways. Just as you’re leaving…?”
            “No need for them anymore now that I’m retiring,” said God. “Which means…I can say something I’ve wanted to for a long time.” Lucifer stared. “I love you, son. And I am very proud of the man you’ve become.”
            Lucifer’s lips quivered, and his heart leapt for joy. God hugged him. Lucifer sobbed and hugged Him, still a boy who needed a hug from his father.
            Lucifer swallowed. “I think Amenadiel might like to hear that, too.”
            God chuckled and held Lucifer just a little bit tighter before letting go. “I already told him. It was an emotional round of golf.” He smiled at Amenadiel and Missy, who had finished saying their goodbyes.
            “Time to go,” said Missy. “My universe needs me.” She hugged Lucifer goodbye, and God hugged Amenadiel.
            When they let go, Missy looked at (Y/N). “(Y/N).”
            (Y/N) stiffened nervously. They felt like they were intruding on a private moment. “Yes?”
            “I’m sorry again. For threatening you the last time we met. It was wrong of me,” said Missy. “And I’ve grown.”
            (Y/N) smiled at her. “I forgive you. I know you were just…confused about what to do.”
            “You’ve grown up. You’re much stronger than last time.” Missy looked at Lucifer and smiled. “You should be proud of your child.”
            “I am,” said Lucifer.
            “He’s a great dad. I wouldn’t be who I was without him,” said (Y/N). “I’m happy to be a part of this family…Grandma.”
            Missy grinned and hugged (Y/N). They hugged back. God joined a moment later.
            “Goodbye, (Y/N),” He said. “It was wonderful to meet you. I know you’re going to great things as you continue to grow.”
            “Goodbye,” said (Y/N), hugging Him. “I’m going to miss you…Grandpa.”
            God chuckled. Missy stepped back. God squeezed them a moment longer and whispered, “Take good care of things.” He stepped back.
            (Y/N) smiled. “Someone’s gotta keep things from going to Hell.” They grinned, trying not to tear up themself.
            “Indeed,” said God, chuckling. “And who better than you?” Missy smiled and took His hand. The pair walked a few steps away.
            “Dad, wait,” called Amenadiel. God paused and looked back. “You forgot to name your successor.”
            God smiled. “You’ll figure it out.”
            “Back to your mysterious ways already,” said Lucifer, still swallowing back tears. (Y/N) hugged him, and he hugged them back. They watched God and Missy with a bittersweet ache in their chest.
            “All part of my plan,” said God.
            “Plan…” said Lucifer softly.
            God and Missy went to the stage of Lux and drew back the curtains to reveal a shining golden light. Beyond it was a field of green—Missy’s universe waiting.
            “How much of this was your plan?” said Lucifer, looking at God.
            He chuckled mysteriously.
            “Goodbye, my loves,” said Missy.
            They stepped forward, and the curtains fell closed behind them. God and Missy were gone.
            Lucifer and Amenadiel let out long sights. (Y/N) pulled Amenadiel into the side hugs they were giving. They all stood in silence, letting the moment pass on its own.
l
            “How is he?” asked Chloe quietly.
            (Y/N) had invited her over as Lucifer just stared out over LA from the penthouse. They knew he needed support, and they wanted every piece of support he had. Amenadiel had his son and Linda to help him. Lucifer had them and Chloe.
            “It’s bittersweet,” said (Y/N). “I think he just needs us to be there with him.”
            Chloe nodded, and the pair walked towards Lucifer.
            “Hi,” said Chloe softly.
            “I brought Chloe, Dad,” said (Y/N).
            Lucifer nodded and smiled slightly. “Thank you.”
            “How are you holding up?” asked Chloe.
            “Oh, nothing lasts forever, I suppose,” said Lucifer.
            “Do you need anything?” said Chloe.
            Lucifer shook his head. “Just time.”
            “Alright,” said Chloe. “But (Y/N) and I are here.”
            “Forever,” said (Y/N), smiling. “Because family is the one thing that lasts forever.” They tapped his heart. “There.”
            “That was cheesy,” said Lucifer.
            “I try to be nice, and that’s what I get,” sighed (Y/N). Lucifer chuckled and hugged them from the side. Chloe shook her head in amusement.
            Flap! “Lucifer!”
            Lucifer groaned and turned around. It was Remiel.
            “Where is Father?” said Remiel.
            “Uh, excuse us, we were having a moment,” grumbled Lucifer.
            “Where is He?” repeated Remiel.
            “Gone. Retired. Eternally unavailable,” said Lucifer.
            “Did He name His successor?” said Remiel.
            “No, He said it was up to us to figure it out,” said Lucifer.
            “What’s the matter?” asked (Y/N).
            “Can we talk?” Remiel glanced at Chloe and (Y/N). “Without the child and human?”
            “No,” said Lucifer. “Whatever you want to say, you can say in front of both of them.”
            “So be it,” said Remiel distrustfully. “Upon returning to the Silver City, I discovered something alarming. Michael’s been gathering support from the others.”
            “Support for what?” said Chloe.
            “Don’t tell me…” groaned (Y/N), narrowing their eyes.
            “Michael wants to be God,” said Lucifer. “The sneaky bastard. I bet this was his plan all along.”
            The shadows around (Y/N) waved back and forth angrily as they shifted. They hated the idea.
            “If it’s up to our brothers and sisters, it looks like he has a good shot,” said Remiel. She paused. “Which is why, and I cannot believe I’m saying this…” She took a knee. “I am backing you, Lucifer. I may not like you, but I hate Michael even more.”
            It’s like the presidential elections, thought (Y/N).
            “Now there’s a ringing endorsement for my campaign poster,” said Lucifer, not disparaged by the slight insult.
            Remiel stood and nodded. “Michael would never suspect I’d take your side. So, I’ll find out what he’s up to.”
            “I think if I just get another chance to hit him we’d be fine. I’m like…3-0 against him. 4-0 if you count the family dinner,” said (Y/N).
            “The Apocalypse does not count as a win, you are not going close to him,” said Lucifer firmly.
            (Y/N) huffed. They really wanted another chance to hand Michael’s ass to him. They hadn’t gotten a proper chance after the Apocalypse.
            “Whatever Michael’s up to, it can’t be good,” said Chloe.
            “And knowing my brother, he won’t be wasting any time,” said Lucifer. “So, if anyone notices anything, let someone know immediately.”
            Chloe nodded.
            (Y/N) nodded firmly. Michael would not win. Not with them around.

Gmmtv part 2 thoughts (since I like to scream into the void)
- ossan’s love: I’m more on board after how well they did cherry magic. I still think EarthMix was a good choice. Also I was trying to focus on the actors talking but I was so distracted by how pretty Mix is
-I don’t watch the straight stuff but I do like Gun and Pond a whole lot so I might get on board with Leap Day
-the heart killers: khaofirst, Joongdunk, Jojo. I will watch, no explanation needed. I would also watch anything First is in because I am a nothing if not a First simp. Add in my slight dunk obsession and khaotung and Joong and I am excited.
-friendshit forever? Interesting name. Oh hi Boun. I’m starting to wonder if New knows how buttons work. No complaints, just an observation
-perfect 10 liners: sure, fine, whatever. Oh hi Sood Yacht. Happy to see you here.
- Us: Lesbians! And Sing! On a different note, does Sing not want to lead a BL or does GMMTV not want him to? Because I know I want it.
- Thame Po: EST!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! Idols!!! Count me in. The white suits for the group on stage was a good choice. Putting EST in black was also a good choice. Oh hi Sammy
- revamp: oh hi bounprem. Hi Santa. Luke is the cutest nugget. You can tell bounprem have been doing this a while with how comfortable they are together
- sweet tooth, good dentist: our favorite supporting man is leading a BL! No complaints. Ohm is so cute. I will be watching for Mark and Ohm.
- Gemini is so sweet, he could charm the pants off of anyone.
- The Ex-Morning: oh they are getting all the OGs back. Oh my and they are kissing. Good to see Singto again.
- scarlet heart: they are clearly hand picking a lot of strong actors for this. Im happy to see fourth’s smiling face today
Definitely more excited about this round than part 1. Ready for the second half of the year!

Digital Community: A Case Study in Enchantment – The World of Tumblr
Welcome, wanderers of the mystical web. As you step into the crimson glow of this space, I—the Pure Chaos Witch—invite you to unravel the threads of an enchanting digital realm: Tumblr.
Tumblr is a unique platform, like a cauldron filled with creativity, individuality, and community. It is considered a place where creators and dreamers come together to share their work, spark ideas, and form unbreakable bonds that go beyond the ordinary.
After centuries of living and a lifetime of mastering chaos magic, I have gathered some valuable insights about the world and the community on Tumblr, which I have summarized in this post. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your spellbook and start taking notes, people ~~
Tumblr media
The Veil of Anonymity: Pros and Cons
Anonymity on Tumblr serves as a double-edged sword. On one hand, it allows users to express themselves freely without fear of judgment, fostering honest feedback and reducing social pressure on various topics. This veil can be empowering, enabling individuals to share their deepest thoughts and creations without revealing their true identities (Metraux, 2022).
However, this cloak of invisibility can also be misused and enable harmful behaviors. The option to send anonymous messages, for instance, has sometimes been abused, leading to instances of cyberbullying, trolling and spreading misinformation (Omernick and Sood, 2013). Moreover, artists may find their work stolen or republished without due credit, as anonymity can obscure the trail back to the original creator.

Casting the Circle: The Power of Digital Communities
A digital community is not unlike a coven - a sacred space where like-minded individuals gather, united by shared purpose and passion. The magic of Tumblr lies in how it brings together diverse voices into one single vibrant and creative community. From fan art to political discussions, it offers a safe space for us to create our own personal havens within the vast expanse of the internet (McCracken, 2017).
Tumblr media
But the real question is: What makes Tumblr so distinct from other platforms? It must be the ethos of co-creation. Unlike traditional social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram, Tumblr encourages reblogging, remixing, and reimagining content - an infinite loop of shared spells that amplify their power (Katrin Tiidenberg, Natalie Ann Hendry and Abidin, 2021).
The Evolution of Tumblr
Since its launch in 2007, Tumblr has evolved significantly. It began as a platform for microblogging and sharing multimedia, fostering a distinctive culture centered on creativity and fandoms. Over the years, features like reblogging and tagging were introduced, making it easier for users to engage and explore content. A major turning point in its evolution came with the rise of fandom culture, where Tumblr became the go-to hub for fan communities to thrive, collaborate, and share their passions.
(e.g., Supernatural, Sherlock, or Harry Potter fanbases).
However, policy changes, such as the 2018 ban on adult content, led to shifts in user dynamics and community structures (Sybert, 2021). Despite these changes, Tumblr continues to be a vibrant tapestry of diverse communities, adapting and evolving with the digital tides.

The Scarlet Insight
As a witch, I see Tumblr as a grimoire - each post a spell and each tag a rune. The platform thrives on the interplay of voices, where one person’s musings become the spark for another’s inspiration. Here, collaboration becomes empowerment, and anonymity offers great safety to express the unspoken (Nixon and Düsterhöft, 2018).
In this sacred digital space, the balance between individual expression and communal engagement fosters a unique kind of energy - a reminder that in unity, there is strength.

#BlackLivesMatter campaign or LGBTQ+ representation.
Tumblr media
And, here are some notes and tips for our brilliant Tumblr creators (only if you are ready to start practicing magic on this platform *wink):
Tags: Think of tags as sigils. They guide others to your posts and make your content discoverable. You shall use them wisely.
Visuals: A picture paints a thousand spells. Accompany your words with captivating images or gifs to evoke a mood :)
Community: Engage, reblog, and interact as much as you can!!! The more you weave into the tapestry, the brighter your thread will shine.
As we walk hand in hand on this treacherous road, let us remember the core of Tumblr’s enchantment: the celebration of diversity, creativity, and unbridled passion. This is a space where magic thrives, and each of us is a sorcerer of our own making.
Until next time, or next week, my fellow mystics.
Your beloved chaos witch.

Tumblr media
It was a brisk november night, the stars polluted to no existence. The moon shone over the place you called home, a place of moral and peace. You wrestled in your comforter, you felt a gnawing tense sensation in your calf making you unable to sleep. The floorboards creaked as you placed your bare feet on them when you swung yourself to the edge of your bed. Thirsty, you thought. Continued down the creaking hallway and stairs you swerved around a cup that nested on the fourth step from the bottom. A cup that was covering a nail that was revealed, you put it there to protect your footing.
Your cat sood on the counter of your kitchen island waiting for you to approach her. She rubbed against your hand with soft purrs, twisting her tail around your arm. You move to the cupboards to grab the same sentimental glass you always grab. The glass looked like a stained glass window, with roses and vines. An aerloom from your grandmother before she passed. you filled the cup with cold cold water from your porcelain sink looking out into the night from your kitchen window as you have the rush of cold water slid down your throat. As you peer into the suburban life of your neighborhood as everything sits still. You notice the neighbor across just to the left has a dim light on, you can see it through their shut blinds.
You ponder to yourself as to what your neighbor, an older woman, would be doing up at 2:45 in the morning. You can see a frantic shadow that appeared in the old woman’s blinds, you nearly choked on the last sip you took. You lean over your sink as the water that rested on your faucet wet your shirt. You nearly touched the window with your nose, fogging it up in the process of your subtle breathing. The shadow paused in the window and slowly stretched its height, blocking the only light source in the house. Your breathing became more frantic as the window continued to fog and blur your sight.
You rushed behind you to grab a towelette to wipe away the fog from the window. It was gone, the shadow was gone, the light was out. The neighbor’s home stood in silence, darkness. You cupped your eyes around your window to see if you could make out anything across the street, Nothing. Just as you expected everything was completely silent, no movement, no sign of life, it was now 3 in the morning. You turn to see your tabby reaching her paw towards you, an indication for pets. You pet her soft head as she continues to purr. Drained, you felt from a restless night of sleep to seeing what seemed to be a tall man standing in your neighbors living room.
You laughed to yourself, “Oh LuLu, I think I'm delusional.” You ran your hand down your cat's back, lifting up her tail as you went. You called Luna “LuLu”, a little nickname from your mother since Luna was a kitten. You placed your glass in the sink upside down and slowly made your way back up the creaking steps to your bedroom. You once more wrestle with your comforter, flipping your pillow to the cold side for a good night’s rest. Little padding feet rush up and jump onto your bed then onto your chest. You look up to see your little LuLu purring on you as you silently drift off to sleep.
The Sun woke you violently above your neighbors house peering into your window. “Shit.” you rubbed your eyes, you forgot to close the curtains before bed. You sat up and stretched every muscle you could think of. You stood up and bent back along with the sound of cracking your spine. You wandered out of your room and down the hall, you took heavy steps down the stairs dodging the cup that rested on the fourth step. You greeted Luna on the kitchen counter again, she purred at every pet you gave. You grabbed the cup that sat upright in the sink, you raised it out and filled it with water again, taking a sip. Looking out the kitchen window once more, your neighbor's house continued to sit still. You placed your cup on the kitchen counter and paced towards your front door, sliding on your house slippers and coat. You walked outside and over to your next door neighbors home. Suzanne and Micheal, a nice older couple who kept their yard green and painted their house yearly with the same monotone gray. You knocked on their door and before the third knock you felt the door start to swing open.
“Good morning Micheal, how have you been? I see you added some ornamental grass along the stepping stones, very lovely.” you gave him a smile. He leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed. “Well im doin’ jus fine kiddo. You see there we got some of them little bluestem grasses by them steppin’ stones. Put them in me-self.” he gave you a nod. Just behind him you see a little old woman waddling over. “Hey there Suzie!” you smiled and waved. “Well you gotta be kiddn’ me! It's our neighbor Mikey! How you doin’ darlin’?” she walked up to Micheal while he swung his arm around her in comfort.
“Thank you Suzie, I'm doing great. I actually came over to ask about the across the street neighbor, house 2901? Did she have company last night? Roughly around 3 in the morning?” you looked at them. Micheal’s face contorted with confusion and Suzie turned pale. “Oh darlin’ I don't think Ms.Hall would have any company, her son lives in Nevada an’ her sister is in Oklahoma, an’ she ain’t comin’ down until another month.” her voice filled with worry. Micheal took his arm off his wife and crossed it once more. “An’ what she doin’ up durin’ the Devil’s Hour?” he grunted, peering over your shoulder at the home in question.
“Okay, well thank you for the information. I may try to go talk to her if things get worrisome.” you waved goodbye and turned to walk back down the stepping stones from their front door. “Hey!” Suzanne shouted for you as you turned, “Be careful darlin’ don’t be messin’ with things that don’t need messin’ with.” you nodded at the both of them and turned back around to walk back home. You opened the door and immediately felt your stomach grumble as you walked towards the kitchen. You went to reach for your glass but it was gone, where was your glass? You wondered. You peered around the kitchen island and saw your once sentimental glass broken into pieces on your kitchen tile. You stood in absolute shock, devastated from something that has been created so long ago in shambles on your kitchen floor.
You pick up a broom and your dustpan and begin to sweep the tiny glass shards from the crevices of your tile. You put it in a plastic bag and into your garbage forever saying your goodbyes to a cup that was older than your 98 year old grandmother. It was like saying goodbye to grandma all over again, you adored her more than anything but now what will she think that her glass that she trusted you with was shattered? You sit on the couch reminiscing about your grandmother, and you couldn't help but cry that the only thing you had from her was gone. Luna brushed against your leg and purred but you pushed her away. “Did you break grandma’s glass!?” you looked at your tabby with tear flooded eyes.
Luna stared at you as she flicked the tip of her tail. “You don’t even know what you did huh? It’s okay baby.” you picked her up and she began to purr in your lap. You wake up with a sharp gasp, “Fuck! When did I fall asleep?” Luna sprung off of you and began to meow. “Oh LuLu I’m sorry I didn’t realize I fell asleep, let me get you some food.” you sprung up from your couch, a loud low growl came from your stomach. “Apparently I need some too.” you grabbed Luna’s cat dish and plopped some wet cat food in it and set it on the kitchen counter. Luna began to gnaw on the food with loud licking noises. “So gross.” you laughed at your tabby while trying to find some human food for yourself in the fridge. You grab some lunch meat and condiments and walk over to the sink. By the sink you had your coffee maker, which next to it sat your bread case. You lifted the lid and out of the corner of your eye you see your kitchen window. You glanced over to peer at your neighbor’s house across the way and there it was again, the dark figure that stood in the window behind the blinds. It had tall and lanky, human-like features in front of a dim auburn light.
You dropped the knife you were using to spread mayonnaise on your bread, splattering all over the counter top. You rush to the window cupping your eyes against the glass to block your sight from your breath. Your cat began to meow loudly, your heart started to clench. “Luna! Hush!” you yelped as you patted your chest trying to focus on the shadow in the window across the way. Luna began to hiss and you quickly turned around “What’s wrong baby?” Luna looked up the staircase into the dark with her fur standing. She made deep threatening growls, you switched on the light from the bottom of the stairs, Nothing.
“LuLu there is nothing there you cranky cat.” You turned back to your window and it was gone, the shadow was gone, the lights out. You let out a sigh, you then continue to make your sandwich and bring it to bed. Creaking up the stairs you went and Luna following behind you cautiously. You sat in bed and ate the sandwich you made, happiness spread on your face with every bite you took. You look over at Luna while she was sitting on the edge of the bed staring at your shut door. She never acted this way, you place your plate on your nightstand and get under the covers. You patted the place next to you to cuddle with Luna before bed but she didn't budge.
You woke up the next morning with a stretch in bed and look over at Luna, in the same position she was last night. Luna seemed as if she hadn't moved since you last saw her. You got out of your bed and grabbed your plate from last night and opened your bedroom door. Luna sprinted out and down the stairs she went and hid behind the wall before the stairs peering her head to keep the steps in sight. “Luna, stop being weird.” you looked at her peering eyes as you heavily stepped down the stairs. You walked over to the kitchen, “I got to go to the store Luna, you need more food and so do I. Then I’m gonna come home and do some work on my computer.” You said looking at her, It seemed like she didn't care for your existence.
“Fuckin’ weirdo.” you placed the plate in the sink to wash later. You peer out your window, police surround your neighborhood. You quickly rush to your front door and get your shoes and coat on and rush outside. Suzanne was talking to some Police Officers in her front lawn. “Suzanne!” you cried out, She looked over at you and patted her tears away. “Oh! Oh my goodness!” she broke out in tears, “Darlin’ Mikey is missin’.” she used her handkerchief to pat her tears. You turned pale, “Missing? Where could he have gone?” You grabbed her hand to comfort her.
“Mikey went to Ms.Hall’s home, He saw it Darlin’, saw her standing there like you said. I told him not to go over there, but he insisted and he haven’t come home!” she continued to cry. A police officer came to check on her “Ma’am we have it under control, we are going to find your husband.” The officer looked over at you, “Do you play a part in this?” you looked at him like a deer in headlights and shook your head. “No, no sir I don’t” the shocked expression in your face says it all, a deep ball of terror infiltrated your stomach. The officer led Suzanne away to talk to her some more. You look over at the home and police are knocking at Ms.Hall’s door, no answer.
You run back inside and grab your keys, maybe the grocery store will take things off your mind, maybe this is just a delusion. You see Luna in the exact same position as you left her, didn’t bother to look at you nor greet you as you came through the door aggressively. You rolled your eyes and shut the door behind you and hop into your car. Getting out of the neighborhood was a nightmare, police everywhere, patrolling the streets and talking amongst themselves. You drive for about five miles before reaching the store. “In and out” you tell yourself. You walk amongst the Animal feed section and try to find Luna’s favorite wet cat food. A store employee walks up and starts stocking the shelves next to you, too close for comfort. You slowly scoot a bit away from the man as you continue your search.
“Are you finding everything alright?” You heard the employee say. You glance over “Yeah im doing just-” as you turn your head towards the employee you fall back in terror. The man had his jaw broken and mouth gaping, his eyes sunken in and neck clearly turned in a way humanly impossible. You let out a terrifying scream. “ma’am, are you okay?” you saw that many employees gathered around you trying to help. You see the once disfigured employee is being comforted by his coworkers, he was also terrified. “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.” you got up and quickly ran out of the store and out into the parking lot catching your breath. You rushed into your car and slammed the door shut, running your fingers through your hair.
Your phone begins to ring, the sudden noise makes you jump. “Fuck.” you look over at your phone laying in the passenger seat displaying the words Mom and Dad. You pickup the phone while rubbing your eyes. “Hey” you said over the phone as you stuck your keys in the ignition. “How’s my kiddo doin’? We haven’t talked in a while.” your father spoke over the phone. “Yeah dad, just been busy. Life I guess.” You started your car. “Why are you being short with me? To your poor ol’ dad.” you could hear the plea in his voice. “I just, I don’t know. I’ve had a lot of things on my mind. I might have to take LuLu to the vet, she’s been acting weird lately.” you hear your ignition roar as you start your car. “Well we love you kiddo, please call us sometime soon? Maybe tomorrow?” You let out a sigh “Yeah maybe, love you guys too.” You hung up the phone.
You backed out of your parking spot and began to race home empty handed from the store you came from. You arrive home to a once police flooded neighborhood to a calm and unsettling one. Suzanne’s car was gone from the driveway, must be staying with family you thought. You got out of your car and slammed the door. You unlock your front door and enter your home to flick on the entry light, nothing. “Damn it, fucking power surge again.” You rush into the kitchen to see your other neighbors have lights on in their homes. “Literally why, why me.” you groan as you open the door to your fridge and the light is still on. You quickly rushed to see if the kitchen light worked but nothing happened.
“This makes no sense, then the power isnt fucking out some dipshit must be fucking with my lights. Whatever, I don’t have the time.” you grab Luna’s cat bowl and put the remaining cat food you had and some lunch meat to give her a proper meal. “Sorry Lu, I came home empty handed.” you placed her cat bowl on the counter in her usual spot. Speaking of the cat, where was she? You wandered amongst your home. “Luna! Come here baby, where are you, you little shit.” you yelled out for her and no answer. You continue to walk amongst your darkened home, “Luna this isn’t funny.” you yelled again. You creak up the stairs and hear whispering coming beyond your bedroom door.
You felt a ball drop into your stomach as you slowly became terrified. You slowly creak open your door and enter into your room. You couldn’t help but feel like you just made a terrible decision like those people in horror movies. You hear scratching from your closet door, your heart begins to pound, your body starts to feel like a cold sweat. You swung open the closet door, bracing yourself for whatever was in the closet. You felt a light press against your legs and as you looked down you realized it was Luna. You picked her up into your arms “How, how did you get into the closet and managed to open and shut the door.” you looked at her as she jumped out of your arms, walking out of the bedroom.
You walk down your stairs and into the kitchen, seeing that Luna has already begun to help herself to her food. You look next to her, terrified. It was back, the cup, your antique cup wasn't in pieces as if it never broke. You picked it up, admired it, didn’t have the words conjured to say anything. You quickly put it on your window seal in your kitchen, tears flooded your eyes knowing that something so sentimental to you was back, from all the tiny shards it once was. “You mustn't have broken!” you had a smile reaching ear from ear. Your moment of glee quickly turned as you realized not only was your stained glass cup back from the dead, but the figure was in the window again.
“God fucking damn it, I’m so sick of this shit.” You gained the courage to go over to your neighbors home, sliding on your shoes not bothering to throw on your jacket. It was a cold night, frozen rain touched your skin as you stomped over to the home. “HEY! STOP PEERING INTO MY HOUSE YOU CREEP.” You yelled as you banged on the door. You get onto your toes and look into the home from the window on the front door. The light was still on and you could hear faint music from the home, some 1920’s bullshit you thought. “I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE.” You slammed your hand on the door. The lights went out, and soon after did the haunting old music.
You jumped back, taken aback not knowing there would be any type of response. You huffed and walked across the yard. At the edge of the yard line you hear a creak from your neighbors front door. You instantly turn, “you need to leave me the fuck alone!” You yelled towards the door and immediately rushed back home slamming the door behind you. You slide off your shoes and go upstairs in a huff. “Come Luna, let’s go to bed.” Luna stood at the end of the staircase. “Luna, come on!” You yelled. “Fine, you’re sleeping out here tonight.” You closed your bedroom door and swung your curtains closed.
You awoke the next morning, feeling refreshed that your nights of terror may finally be over. You opened your bedroom door expecting Luna to be sleeping at the base of the frame, she wasn’t. You’ve felt fed up with her antics, her acting strange. You began to walk down the steps but only to see streaked blood patterning the floor. Your stomach dropped, what could’ve possibly bled on the floor and you’re hoping it wasn’t what you were thinking. You turn the corner slowly to see your precious cat, on the living room floor, laying in a pool of her own blood.
Seems like your nights of terror have just begun.

Final Fantasy Write 2023: Once Bitten Twice Shy
ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY
CW: Talk of death and loss
It was late afternoon in Terncliff, the sun had just barely began its descent and the people of the small town were bustling about the last of their daily routines, be it heading to shifts on the battlements to arguing prices with merchants at the local market.
The Terncliff memorial stood overlooking the cliff out to the sea, it was a simple stone erected to honor those who had died fighting the Garleans to ensure Werlyt’s freedom, a place of quiet reflection for so many, it sood as a reminder about the cost of freedom, and how it would never be taken from them again
Altani leaned on the wall on the edge of the memorial, her eyes far away and deep in thought, her dark scaled tail swaying from side to side gently, as if it was being blown by the sea winds itself. 
The Auri woman could feel the warm salty sea air on her face and closed her eyes in quiet enjoyment, these peaceful moments that were so often taken for granted, she was just enjoying the here now. 
“Altani!” a cheerful voice chirped behind her. 
Altani turned to see her younger sister trotting up behind her. 
“Hey sis.” Altani said, a broad smile on her face.
“Lelanda has been looking for you everywhere, something about aiding with training youth in sword and shield?”
Oh, I had almost completely forgotten, I’ll head over shortly, I don’t want that little Lala angry at me.” Altani chuckled, then returned her gaze to something just below the wall. 
K’yla stepped up beside her sister “Is there something we are look-” Her eyes followed Altani’s down to watching another white haired Auri, lighter scales of almost pure alabaster lined her soft grinning features as she played with feeding the horde of gulls that now surrounded her, each one trying to get the most of the bread she spread across the ground “Now I get it.”
Altani shrugged her shoulders and continued to watch the woman, her eyes filled with tender emotion K’yla hadn’t seen in a very long time.
“I’m happy for you sis.” K’yla remarked. 
“Wait, what? Huh?!” Altani whirled on her sister a deep blush of crimson rising on her pale cheeks.
K’yla stared at her sister and rolled her eyes dramatically “Please, you think I haven’t noticed the two of you? Always deep in conversation, taking the same shifts at the storehouse?”
“It…it isn’t like that…I mean…I’m not sure if it is or not?” Altani stammered out “It’s complicated.”
“Doesn’t seem to complicated to me, you guys love each other right?”
Altani nodded sheepishly, her eyes both filled with happiness but a tinge of sorrow as well “She has told me that on a few occasions.”
“Annnnnnd you have said it back?” K’yla pressed gently. 
“Not, exactly, not yet.”
K’yla stared at her sister and lifted a hand to her cheek, lightly touching the scales that covered its better part “Why not?”
“I’m not sure I’m ready…” Altani pulled away and sat on the wall facing towards the sea “I guess, fury’s sake, I’m scared K’yla. Once bitten twice shy?”
“Levemont?” 
Altani nodded, tears coming to her amber eyes “I don’t know if I can go through that again.”
K’yla went and sat beside her sister, taking her hand in hers “You can’t keep running forever, pushing people away because you are scared of losing them.”
“I know, and I don’t want to push her away, but I am so scared to let my guard down and be that close to someone again.”
“Seems to me you have already let your guard down if you are admitting to me that you love her.” K’yla said softly “You only need to tell her now.”
Altani turned towards her sister and gave her a slight crooked smile “Things are always that simple to you aren’t they?”
“In matters like this? Yeeh, I guess so.”
“I don’t want to get hurt.” The Auri woman sputtered.
K’yla looked her sister directly in the eyes “No one does, but we love people anyway.”
The two women stared off over the sea for a long while taking in the warm air before Altani broke the silence “I wonder what mom’s going to think?”
“Mom?! I am far more interested to see what Gaius says about this.”
The women laughed deep and fully hands clasped, heads resting on each others shoulders. 
“A new day.” Altani said finally.

Homework
1. My zodiac sign is Gemini.
2. The color associated with that sign is yellow “which lifts your spirit and triggers curiosity and brilliant thoughts” (Freedom Moses). I have always loved the color yellow, so it was cool that it is associated with my sign! The animal associated with Gemini is a deer due to the “insane amount of energy, they are fun & intelligent creatures who aren't afraid to put themselves out there.” (TRUSTED TELLER) I chose to just put part of the deer in my sketch as depending on the situation, I’m okay to be myself while in others I am shy. 
3. Gemini is connected with the planet Mercury which is the first and smallest planet in the solar system. 
Attendance
“(Is pink a luxury color?) when it was discovered Monoprix was selling a pack of five disposable pink razors at $1.93. A ten mack of blue disposable razors, meanwhile, cost $1.85. The phenomenon has come to be known as the ‘pink tax.”” (117) This quote sood out to me as this has been an ongoing issue for as long as I can remember, pink things have always cost more. In this example, the pink razors cost $.38 per unit while the blue razors are only $.18 per unit. This is something we as a society need to be mindful and fight against.

I know this is a sensitive subject…but SOOD kdrama remake trailer has been released 😬 if you’ve seen it, what are your thoughts?
LOL @ it being a sensitive subject :'D
i was...whelmed by it. it was mostly identical or very close to it shots/scenes from the original. so i think i'll be skipping it, since the original one is pretty much a perfect drama to me & i can just rewatch that instead if i want to see the story again. but if im wrong & there's enough deviation, i'll check it out (im a fan of adaptations doing something new with the material/adding a different spin or approach to it vs. an exact recreation)

Best Weight Loss Surgeon in Mohali for Lasting Health & Wellness
The battle against obesity in Mohali is more than just a physical challenge, it's a daily struggle that impacts every aspect of life. Excess weight doesn't merely affect one's appearance; it diminishes energy levels, restricts mobility, and often leads to serious health complications like diabetes, hypertension, and joint problems. Many residents have tried every conceivable diet plan, fitness regimen, and weight loss supplement, only to find themselves trapped in a frustrating cycle of temporary results followed by inevitable weight regain. This pattern not only damages physical health but also takes a significant toll on mental well-being, eroding self-confidence and quality of life.
Dr. Amit Sood has emerged as Mohali's foremost authority in sustainable weight loss solutions, offering a scientifically validated alternative to this endless cycle. His bariatric surgery program represents a comprehensive approach to weight management that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of obesity. Unlike temporary fixes that focus solely on the number on the scale, Dr. Sood's methodology emphasizes long-term health transformation through advanced surgical techniques combined with personalized aftercare. For individuals who have exhausted conventional weight loss methods without success, this program offers a clinically proven path to lasting results and improved overall wellness.
Tumblr media
Why Dr. Amit Sood Stands Out as Mohali's Premier Weight Loss Surgeon?
Choosing a weight loss surgeon requires careful consideration of both technical skill and commitment to patient outcomes. Dr. Sood's approach combines advanced surgical techniques with personalized care plans designed to address each patient's unique needs and health goals. Here are the key aspects that distinguish his practice:
Customized Surgical Approaches
Gastric Sleeve Surgery: A procedure that reduces stomach capacity while maintaining normal digestive function.
Gastric Bypass: An effective solution for significant weight loss and metabolic improvement, particularly beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes.
Revision Procedures: Specialized interventions for patients who have experienced unsatisfactory results from previous weight loss surgeries.
Advanced Minimally Invasive Techniques
Utilization of laparoscopic technology for reduced surgical trauma.
Smaller incisions result in less postoperative discomfort.
Shorter recovery periods compared to traditional open procedures.
Minimal visible scarring.
Comprehensive Pre- and Post-Operative Care
Thorough preoperative evaluation and preparation.
Detailed nutritional guidance for optimal surgical outcomes.
Structured postoperative follow-up program.
Long-term monitoring to support weight maintenance.
Health Improvements Beyond Weight Reduction
Significant improvement or resolution of obesity-related comorbidities, including:
Type 2 diabetes
Hypertension
Obstructive sleep apnea
Joint pain and mobility issues
Enhanced metabolic function
Improved quality of life indicators
Patient-Centric Approach to Care
Individualized treatment plans based on comprehensive health assessments.
Transparent communication about expectations and potential outcomes.
Psychological support to address the emotional aspects of the weight loss journey.
Emphasis on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than temporary solutions.
State-of-the-Art Surgical Facility
Modern operating theaters are equipped with the latest surgical technology.
Strict adherence to international safety protocols.
Dedicated recovery areas for patient comfort.

Ayodhya Global Tech City: A Movement Towards a Smarter & Sustainable Life
Tumblr media
Smart. Sustainable. And actually happening.
That’s not a tagline, it’s what Ayodhya Global Tech City (AGC) in Viramgam is quietly building, step by step. If you’ve been watching the rise of India’s smart townships or heard about Gujarat’s forward-thinking developments, then AGC is something worth knowing.
Because this isn’t just about land. It’s about the kind of life people want today and tomorrow.
Ayodhya Global Tech City is coming up in Viramgam across 1100 acres of land, thoughtfully planned to bring together residential, industrial, and lifestyle zones, built around how people actually live, work, and grow.
What Does ‘Smart Living’ Really Mean?
We hear the word a lot. But AGC isn’t using it as decoration.
Smart living here means:
You’re not spending hours in traffic to reach work.
Your kids walk to school within the same layout.
There’s a hospital nearby, not 45 minutes away.
You live in a space that’s planned not patched up after the fact.
AGC is designed with real day-to-day life in mind. Whether it’s the layout of internal roads, access to daily conveniences, or safety everything is structured, not stacked.
Why Sustainability Isn’t an Option Anymore
Let’s be honest, most cities weren’t built for today’s world. And now we’re paying for it.
That’s why AGC is being planned with sustainability as part of the foundation, not as a last-minute add-on. It’s about:
Designed around 5 natural lakes.
Green corridor and pedestrian-friendly planning
Smart zoning between industrial & residential
Because people don’t just want to live better, they want to breathe better, move better, and build something that lasts.
The Idea of “Balance” Work + Life + Growth
AGC isn’t just about where you live. It’s also about where you grow.
With dedicated industrial zones built into the township and seamless access to nearby hubs like Becharaji, Sanand, and Ahmedabad, AGC is made for people who want work and life to finally sit on the same map.
You can live here. You can run your business here. And you can raise a family without having to split your world into two.
That’s balance, and it’s being built in real time.
What Makes AGC Functionally Sustainable?
Here’s how the township is being designed to work better for people and the environment:
✅ Underground gas pipelines for clean and efficient energy
✅ Rainwater harvesting systems to conserve water
✅ Sewage treatment plants for recycling greywater
✅ LED street lights for reduced power usage
✅ Solar rooftops on community facilities
✅ Wide walkways and cycling paths for healthier mobility
✅ Proper waste segregation and composting zones
✅ Tree-lined roads and green belts to support cleaner air
From a Site to a Movement
This isn’t just a plotted township. It’s a shift in how people think about future ready cities.
To build with purpose. To plan for both people and the environment. To give Viramgam its moment, not by hype, but by action.
And yes, it’s led by real work on ground, and real support. With actor and humanitarian Mr. Sonu Sood as brand ambassador, AGC carries both visibility and integrity, something that’s rare in this space.
Who Is This For?
AGC isn’t just for investors or real estate veterans. It’s for:
Families tired of crowded cities and overpriced flats.
Entrepreneurs looking for a well-connected base.
Visionaries who want to get in early, and grow with the place.
Because this isn’t a one-size-fits-all project. It’s a township shaped to adapt, scale, and support actual people.
Final Thought
Ayodhya Global Tech City is a chance to live in a place that’s being built right from day one.
Whether you’re planning to live, build, or invest. AGC is not the end result. It’s the beginning of a smarter and more sustainable way to be part of Gujarat’s growth story.

The Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India today released the first edition of International Technology Engagement Strategy for Quantum, marking a significant step toward articulating India’s outward-facing strategy in Quantum Science, Technology and Innovation (QSTI), with the intent to accelerate discovery, foster innovation, and catalyse adoption across critical sectors. The report was officially unveiled by PSA Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood during the Office of PSA’s podcast on the occasion of World Quantum Day 2025, celebrated every year on April 14. This report comes with a special significance because of 2025 being the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQST) designated by the United Nations and member states. The strategy report provides a foundational landscape analysis to enable domestic and foreign stakeholders in government, academia, and industry to formulate context-specific action points aligned with their engagement goals complementing the ambitions of India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM) and other ongoing efforts by various agencies and stakeholders in the ecosystem. Talking about the importance of Quantum Tech, Prof. Sood highlighted it is an area where no country wants to be left behind because it is important for strategic autonomy and there cannot be strategic autonomy without being quantum safe. Further speaking about gaps and potential in the sector for India, he stated, “India has to invest in Quantum hardware, we have to reduce our dependencies on imports, and advancements in all areas of quantum computing can help with that. We need to bring much more funds for startups, and de-risk the investment — which means we need to create markets for the products. And this is where all the players, be it government, private sectors, academia, or startups, play a role to create this ecosystem,” he added. “We need to be an active player in defining the global standards for Quantum Tech. This is a gap we need to fill. Because once we have that, we will also play a role in standardisation efforts, and that is what leads to strategic autonomy. We have to do that very proactively and ensure that we have these global standards because our market is not only the Indian market but global.“ While talking about NQM, Prof. Sood mentioned that the mission being very efficiently rolled out by the Department of Science and Technology ( DST ) under the leadership of Secretary DST looks at the complete life cycle of this frontier technology - the R&D needed, what does it take to translate that R&D to technology and how to make a product from that for the market scale up. He also explained the key features of the hub-and-spoke model that is being implemented by NQM at the national scale involving 152 researchers from 43 institutions across 17 states and 2 UTs . This inaugural edition of ITES-Q provides a comprehensive overview of both global and national quantum ecosystems, covering analysis of investments, talent development, institutional strengths, research publications, intellectual property, startups, supply chains, and industrial activity. The ITES-Q is thought out to facilitate impactful partnerships and particularly add value to the efforts of Indian missions abroad in strengthening bilateral and multilateral engagements for QSTI. The ITES is an initiative of the Office of the PSA to GoI, designed to strengthen and elevate India’s Technology Diplomacy efforts across critical and emerging domains. The full ITES-Q report can be accessed through the Office of PSA website: https://psa.gov.in/CMS/web/sites/default/files/publication/ITES_QWEBSITE1.pdf World Quantum Day 2025 Podcast with PSA can be tuned in here: https://youtu.be/454E5OY2ygA

Sonu Sood reveals Chiranjeevi’s reaction to Fateh trailer ahead of its clash with Ram Charan’s Game Changer: “He said, ‘I would love to promote this film’”
As the new year kicks off in 2025, a major box office clash looms with Sonu Sood’s Fateh and Ram Charan’s Game Changer releasing on the same day, January 10. While some might view this as a competition, Sonu Sood remains unfazed and optimistic, stating that good films always find their audience.
Tumblr media
Sonu Sood reveals Chiranjeevi’s reaction to Fateh trailer ahead of its clash with Ram Charan’s Game Changer: “He said, ‘I would love to promote this film’”
Chiranjeevi Extends Support to Fateh
In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Sonu Sood shared a memorable encounter with veteran actor Chiranjeevi, who expressed enthusiasm for Fateh. “I recently met Chiranjeevi sir at the airport lounge in Bangalore. When he saw the trailer of Fateh and the rushes, he said that it’s something he has never seen before!” Sonu recalled.
According to Sonu, Chiranjeevi went a step further, offering his support despite Game Changer featuring his son, Ram Charan. “(Chiranjeevi) said, ‘I would love to promote this film. Tell me when we can do it.’ He wanted to do something very big for Fateh. And this is what cinema is all about. It’s about loving each other. I wish them all the best. May Game Changer be a game-changer for them,” he added.
The Philosophy Behind the Clash
Sonu Sood remains positive about the clash, noting that the box office has room for multiple successes. “Good films will always do well. There are hundreds of examples where two or three films have released on the same day and they’ve all done well,” he said.
While acknowledging the buzz surrounding other films like Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, Sonu stressed the importance of focusing on storytelling. “More than Pushpa 2 raising the bar for all of us, it has reiterated the importance of putting in effort and doing one’s job sincerely,” he stated. “Tomorrow, you shouldn’t be looking back and regretting the things that you could’ve done but didn’t.”
Fateh: A Labour of Love
Fateh marks Sonu Sood’s debut as a writer, director, and producer, a journey that took three years to come to fruition. Reflecting on his decision to step behind the camera, Sonu shared, “All these years, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with different directors and actors – across many languages – who taught me the ropes of the craft. When I thought that I was equipped enough to make my own film, I dived into it.”
He added, “I didn’t want to become a filmmaker when I came to Mumbai, but I wanted to showcase myself in a particular way. I always felt I could do better. So, I thought, why not write and direct my own film?”
Game Changer: A Star-Studded Rival
On the other hand, Game Changer features Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, directed by Shankar and produced by Dil Raju. The film has generated significant anticipation and is poised to draw massive crowds.
