Match Made in Paradise Part 5.2: Swift Escape

[bucky-barnes-lover]

Kinktober day 13: Multiple kinks, listed in warnings

Fic: Chris Evans

Warnings ⚠️: SMUT!! 18+, Slight Size Kink if u squint, Slight lingerie kink, NOT PROOF READ!! NOT EDITED!! Sorry if it's really bad, I wrote this at 2am cause I couldn't sleep

W.C: 834

It was a gloomy, rainy evening. The only thing I was looking forward to tonight was seeing my husband. Obviously, as an actor he gets called in at random times during the week, but we were both a bit upset when he got called in this morning. Chris had planned to take me out for dinner tonight as it was our anniversary.

Then my phone started ringing and my ringtone went off as 'Mine' by Taylor Swift. I smiled a little as I realised who had called me. I thought it was quite cute, setting my ringtone as that very song, as it was the only one I knew that described mine and Chris' relationship almost perfectly. I picked up the phone and was greeted by a deep bostonian accent. "Hey babe. How are you?"

"Hi Chrissy" I replied "I'm good, how's work?"

"I was just calling cause, my set just finished and they promised not to call me in until next wednesday. So are we still cool for dinner?" Chris questioned as I fiddled with my nails nervously.

"Yeah totally. What time will you be home?" I asked as I walked over to the calendar to check our reservation time.

"Definitely not before 6. I'll be stuck in traffic for a while." "Shit, What time is our reservation?" He asked suddenly.

"It's at 5:30 so we'll have to cancel." I declared, feeling guilty. "Could you call them up please."

"Yep, I'll do it right after this call." I answered, "Thanks baby. I'll see you soon, love you." Said Chris,

"Love you too, be safe on the road."

I replied before I hung up.

After calling up the restaurant to cancel our reservation, I figured Chris would be home soon. So I put on his favourite one of my lingerie, and set the bedding so it would be ready by the time he arrived home.

About an hour later, I heard the front door open, and in walked my husband. I frowned as I realised just how tall Chris' 6ft frame was compared to to my tiny 5.2 feet.

"Hi love!" I exclaimed as I walked up to kiss him. I heard a gasp exit his mouth as he turned around to see me in such intimate clothing. "Hi baby" "You look amazing!" He marveled as he returned my kiss. "Thanks, I was thinking. Since we couldn't go out for dinner, we could maybe celebrate at home. In bed. No clothes." I asked nervously. Earning a little laugh from Chris, and replying with "Sure, Why not. We haven't had time to 'hang out' in a while"

With that confirmation of yes, I ran upstairs to our bedroom, hearing Chris' footsteps following shortly behind. Once again the realisation hit, Chris was huge compared to me. However, I kinda liked the size difference. It was basically a turn on for me. I climbed onto the bed as he entered the bedroom, shirt already discarded. His tattoo's making me go feral, I pulled him onto the bed, having Chris towering over me.

"I love this lingerie, you look so sexy in it." Stated Chris as he started pressing soft kisses on my neck,

"I know Baby, that's why I wore it. But I'd love it better if you would take it off me" I smirked. Feeling Chris pause, I tugged at his belt, urging him to continue. With a small laugh, He continued kissing me while removing his belt and pants. "May I?" He asked as he started playing with my shoulder straps. With a nod of consent, he started undoing the straps, finally discarding the piece of clothing.

My soft, eager moans filled the room as Chris started kissing his way down to my breasts. Finally taking one of my nipples in his mouth. "Fuck" I moaned over and over again as he rolled his tongue around the sensitive areas.

"Feel good baby?" He questioned as he moved down, to align his cock to my entrance. I could only moan in response, feeling too overwhelmed to put together a sentence.

"Ready" Chris asked as he inserted his tip, through my folds. "Go for it baby" I replied, sounding way too desperate.

Chris' huge figure towered over me as he thrusted into me. I couldn't keep myself from crying out his name in pleasure. He went faster and faster, bringing his thumb to start rubbing my clit. An electric feeling ran through my body as I felt myself coming closer to my orgasmn. Chris' fingers working wonders. His thrusts became slower and lazy, "Come on baby, when you're ready, Cum for me" He whispered in my ear as he continued moving his hips. "Fuck! Chris!" I moaned as I came undone under his work. Him following seconds later, squirting hot cum inside me.

Not long after our 'hang out' time, Chris brought dinner to our bedroom. We ended up ordering take out, since we knew we would get to doing more 'hanging out' later tonight.

Adaptive Modeling of Net Monetary Sovereignty under Hybrid Threats: A Strategic Framework for Digital Resilience

Abstract

In an era marked by geopolitical fragmentation, financial sanctions, and cyberwarfare, central banks must evolve beyond traditional monetary policy instruments. This paper introduces an advanced framework for simulating Net Monetary Sovereignty (NMS) under hybrid threat conditions, integrating stochastic modeling, adaptive digital policy, reinforcement learning, and real-time geopolitical indicators. We present a dynamic system that evaluates the resilience of a national currency regime in response to coordinated cyberattacks, economic shocks, and external sanctions. Our findings suggest that policy effectiveness significantly increases when infrastructure readiness and public trust are accounted for, and that synergy between digital penetration and domestic currency dominance is critical for future monetary stability.

1. Introduction

As monetary policy becomes entangled with cybersecurity, AI, and geopolitics, classical notions of sovereignty must be redefined. The rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), regional clearing alternatives (e.g., CIPS, SPFS), and decentralized tokenization of reserves signals a tectonic shift in the architecture of global finance.

This study develops and simulates a framework for Net Monetary Sovereignty (NMS) as a multidimensional, temporally evolving construct—vulnerable to shocks but stabilizable through smart, adaptive mechanisms.

2. Theoretical Foundations

2.1 Core Components of NMS

We define NMS as a function of four interdependent variables:

D(t): Domestic monetary dominance

A(t): Autonomy in international settlement

P(t): Digital currency penetration

X(t): Dependency on external assets/infrastructure

2.2 Enhanced NMS Equation

We propose:dNMS(t)=[αdDdt+βdAdt+γdPdt−δdXdt+ϵD(t)P(t)]dt+σdW(t)+∑ηkdJk(t)

ϵD(t)P(t): synergy term modeling feedback between currency legitimacy and digital reach

dJk(t): jump process representing cyberattacks or sanctions

3. Adaptive Policy Architecture

3.1 Digital Sovereign Policy Model

Post-attack recovery is modeled as:Adjustment(t)=0.01⋅I(t)⋅T(t)1+e−τ(t−i)

I(t): infrastructure readiness (5G, blockchain nodes)

T(t): public trust in digital instruments

This reflects a system in which the speed and efficacy of monetary repair depend on physical/digital infrastructure and perceived legitimacy.

4. Simulation Engine

4.1 State Variables

s(t)=[NMS,D,A,P,X,TensionIndex,I,T]

4.2 Threat Modeling

Cyberattack intensity:λk(t)=λ0⋅TensionIndex(t)Derived from real-time data (e.g., GDELT geopolitical news index)

4.3 Reinforcement Learning Agent

Algorithm: PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization)

Objective: Maximize NMS while minimizing inflation, dependence, and time-to-recovery

Adversarial module simulates intelligent attacker behavior based on past patterns (e.g., 2022 SWIFT blacklisting, infrastructure breaches)

5. Empirical Validation

5.1 Scenario: Coordinated Attack on Energy and Finance

Without policy: 12% drop in NMS within 6 months

With adaptive buffer:

Immediate stabilization through digital gold tokenization (10% reserve mobilized)

Strategic deployment of regional currency swaps (reduced X by 8%)

2× faster recovery compared to control

5.2 Simulation Visualization

Graph 1: NMS trajectory with vs. without adaptive digital policy

Graph 2: Impact of public trust volatility on digital buffer effectiveness

6. Strategic Implications

6.1 For Sanctioned or Isolated States

Digital buffer policies are essential for monetary survival

Regional integration (e.g., BRICS+ CIPS corridors) enhances A(t)

6.2 For Advanced Economies (e.g., U.S., EU)

NMS framework can be integrated into FedNow, ECB TIPS to assess resilience

Tokenization of reserves could improve systemic agility under coordinated attacks

6.3 For Global CBDC Architecture

NMS can serve as a resilience benchmark for cross-border CBDC interoperability

Suggests inclusion of AI-coordinated liquidity buffers in digital currency protocol design

7. Policy Recommendations

HorizonRecommendationImmediatePilot reinforcement learning framework within national monetary sandboxShort-TermDeploy sovereign trust index as part of digital monetary reportingMedium-TermCreate bilateral tokenized swap lines with friendly jurisdictionsLong-TermEmbed NMS module into central bank macro-modeling platforms (e.g., DSGE models)

8. Conclusion

This model represents a convergence of digital economics, monetary sovereignty, and intelligent defense. In a fragmented and adversarial world economy, the central bank of the future must act as a cyber-resilient, data-driven, real-time sovereign infrastructure hub. Net Monetary Sovereignty is no longer static—it is programmable, adaptive, and, if necessary, weaponized.

more ruminating lavos math

so i pointed out that lavos' ability efficiency is weird. going by cooldown as equivalent to energy, it's like if efficiency made energy vampire give you more energy rather than reduce the energy cost.

i also brought up how, going by examples like envamp and nourish, cooldown reduction should scale with strength. i'm gonna do some math to see what that world (where efficiency reduces cooldown immediately and strength affects cooldown reduction) would have.

so transmutation probe is lavos' big cooldown reducer. it reduces his cooldowns by 1.5 seconds for every enemy hit. add 30% energy efficiency, now you have 1.95 per hit. to completely cool down bite, base probe would take 6 hits while 130% probe would take 5. minor difference, pretty fair. bite is meant to be a heal.

now, let's say we have 172% strength from bellicose and 3025 health, as well as 130% efficiency (or in other words, my actual lavos build lol) and apply consistent efficiency. in this case bite has a 6.1 second cooldown now with 130% efficiency. but more importantly, probe now cuts cooldowns by 2.5 seconds! that means bite is instantly cooled down by three hits!

but the kicker is swift bite. with swift bite, ophidian bite reduces cooldowns by 4 seconds when it hits 4 or more enemies. in its own case, it's mostly just cutting its cooldown in half, but with 130% efficiency the cooldown reduction is boosted to 5.2, and its own cooldown is cut to 2.8. it's just meant to reward you with more bites faster if you use them on groups.

now let's apply the consistent efficiency scenario. first of all, bite has a cooldown of 6.1. swift bite with 130% strength cuts its own cooldown to 0.9 seconds! that's already broken enough and i haven't even gotten to the point.

the point of course being, 0 cooldown. 172 strength gives us 6.8 cdr. first, that's enough to instantly cdr catalyze in 5 hits, assuming these hits all hit four enemies. now with 100% efficiency, the base 8 second cd, swift bite reduces it to 1.2 seconds. but, of course, we're running 130% efficiency. 6.1 cooldown. 6.8 cdr. you could rapid fire machine gun swift bite until there are no longer 4 enemies in range.

and even then, 200% strength would give you a full 8 second cdr, enough to instantly cd 100% efficiency bite.

now as for probe... 7 second cooldown. in the 172 str 130 eff scenario, you could bite during the probe's lifetime and only have a 0.2 cooldown on probe.

tldr, there's a damn good reason lavos interprets efficiency so weirdly. because it's pretty hard to get high efficiency and, more importantly, it doesn't go over 175.

Soda Ash Prices: Market Analysis, Trend, News, Graph and Demand

North America

The U.S. Soda Ash market continued to face downward pricing pressure, driven by ample supply and muted demand across major end-use sectors. Although hurricanes briefly disrupted operations, swift repairs and steady import volumes ensured that production levels remained largely unaffected. Oversupply, combined with weak demand from construction and glass manufacturing, led to a 4.5% decline in prices.

The construction sector showed persistent weakness, evidenced by sluggish housing starts and stalled infrastructure initiatives, which in turn dampened demand for glass��and by extension, Soda Ash. Potential logistical issues, including the threat of port strikes and shifting tariff policies, introduced uncertainty into the market. However, West Coast ports experienced minimal disruption.

While the glass sector—particularly for automotive applications—offered some resilience, it was insufficient to counterbalance broader economic headwinds. A modest uptick in the U.S. Manufacturing PMI pointed to limited industrial recovery but had little impact on reversing the pricing trend. Overall, Soda Ash prices in North America remained under pressure throughout the quarter, weighed down by oversupply, soft demand, and a cautious market outlook.

Asia

Asia's Soda Ash market experienced a price decline, primarily due to persistent oversupply and sluggish demand. High production levels ensured consistent availability, but consumption lagged, especially from key sectors like float glass and photovoltaics. Activity in the float glass segment remained subdued, with reduced melting volumes and limited trading, further dampening Soda Ash uptake. Although glass prices edged higher, they failed to spur significant demand.

By December, prices showed signs of stabilization, aided by proactive inventory management and sustained export shipments. However, seasonal slowdowns in construction and a sluggish real estate recovery, particularly in architectural glass, continued to restrain demand. The detergent and chemical sectors maintained moderate purchasing activity, though overall buyer sentiment remained cautious. As the quarter ended, high stock levels and tempered demand created a balanced yet fragile market dynamic. Soda Ash prices trended lower overall during Q4, with a tentative outlook moving into early 2025.

Europe

Soda Ash prices in Europe—particularly in Germany—trended upward, supported by constrained supply, rising production costs, and selective demand recovery. By November, prices had climbed 5.2%, driven by logistical bottlenecks at ports such as Hamburg and broader disruptions in global shipping. Soaring energy prices across Germany, France, and Spain further increased production costs, adding to pricing momentum.

Demand trends were mixed. While construction activity remained sluggish amid economic uncertainty and weak investment, restocking for seasonal needs—especially in the glass packaging sector—boosted Soda Ash consumption. Additionally, a modest recovery in automotive manufacturing and steady demand from industrial users lent further support.

Despite weak export markets and ongoing challenges in construction, Soda Ash prices maintained an upward trajectory, buoyed by tight supply and high input costs. By the end of the quarter, restrained production and cautious purchasing helped balance supply, keeping prices elevated. Overall, the European market closed Q4 2024 with a firm pricing trend, driven by cost pressures and selective demand resilience.

AI-ing my way into current events:

President Trump recently announced sweeping tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Starting April 5, 2025, a 10% universal tariff will apply to imports from all countries2. Additionally, beginning April 9, reciprocal tariffs ranging from 11% to 50% will target over 50 countries based on trade deficits3. For example, China faces a 34% tariff, while the European Union is subject to 20%3. Goods from Canada and Mexico that comply with USMCA agreements remain duty-free.

The projected effects of President Trump's recent tariff laws: Economists predict a reduction in U.S. GDP by 8% and wages by 7%, with middle-income households potentially facing a $58,000 lifetime loss. The tariffs are expected to generate substantial revenue—over $5.2 trillion over 10 years—but at the cost of economic activity and international trade. Global markets have already reacted negatively, with stock indices experiencing sharp declines. Additionally, the tariffs could disrupt supply chains and increase costs for businesses and consumers.

As for why these laws are easily implemented, they are enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which grants the President broad authority to regulate commerce during national emergencies. This legal framework allows for swift action without requiring congressional approval, making it a powerful tool for imposing trade restrictions.

Implications for Philippines:

Economic Growth at Risk: The Philippines faces a 17% tariff on its exports to the U.S., which could reduce its GDP growth by 1.1 percentage points this year2. This poses a challenge to the government's growth target of 6-8% for 2025.

Fiscal Challenges: The Marcos administration may need to increase public spending to cushion the economic impact, potentially widening the fiscal deficit to 5.9% of GDP2. This could strain the country's fiscal position, which is still recovering from the pandemic.
