index. prologue , chapter one , chapter two , chapter three ... to be continued. based on this

your head slams against the mech’s ceiling, and your vision blurs for a second. a troubled robotic voice keeps reading out statistics, leftwing engine down, visors breaking off, remaining web fluid at 17%, and enemy still engaged.

you have to wince, pushing your head against the whiplash, slamming a half-ripped off metal leg at the large metallic eyeball staring keenly in your direction. mysterio’s been trouble before but… you’ve gotten soft. 

a thin wisp of gas permeates the suit’s vents, and sp//dr’s robotic droning takes an almost human, frantic quality. “air quality has been compromised,” it hisses,  “(name), pulling out of battle is optimal.” you’ve got to ignore it, you think with strain, a thin string of web leaping out at the building behind mysterio, there are people in more danger than you.

pulling harshly on the string, you can hear the noisy clank of metal as the mech-suit’s arm bolts creak under the pressure, and propel yourself at the sphere. and you do it again, to the left, again, from the right, while sp//dr’s voice reads out the remaining fluid clerically.

"16%", slam it into the concrete building next to you, it makes a dent, "15%", swing it into a billboard, people are screaming, "14%", jump up into the sky on your- the suit’s- good leg, "13%" shoot out two strings to the ground besides mysterio-

"12%", slam him into the concrete, shattering the road under him. you’re running out of air. the sphere breaks a little, curling inwards like a cracked egg. you have to disarm mysterio- before he floods the streets with the brain toxin that-

that’s currently bypassed your filtration systems.

the suit takes a staggering step towards a boy inside the vessel, his head encompassed by a globe of white, a single eye etched and staring. you barely hear his “you’re taller in person”, more focused on another voice whispering to you.

 ‘make me nothing’, it says, it’s your father's voice. no, it’s sp//dr’s voice. a hand reaches up on its own, crushing a drone, ‘i’m a teenage weapon’. it’s your voice, your head, sp//dr. you can barely breathe, another hand sending a drone flying into the thin walls around you. "safe inside the colours", his face looks at you in pity, admiration. 

it’s a familiar look.

you stiffen, your mind clearing to sp//dr’s warnings. ‘i don’t need your love, boy.’ the suit’s arm slams against his skull, and he falls to the ground, with a strangled; “my voice!”. 

the brain toxin begins to leave your systems, flushed out by a steady, furious buzz in your ears, your vision clearing as you approach the man. his face is exposed, a bloody, spectacled and oat-haired figure. he croaks to you; “i hate my voice,” as though you’d care of it, “you don’t know me- i’m just a fan…”

his voice becomes shaky, and he’s struggling to blabber out his words. you’re tempted to web his mouth shut. “but i could have been anything to you…”

“did you ever get the mix-disc i made you?” he slurs, his cracked glasses breaking.

you don’t wake up with a jolt. there’s no chain of anxiety that hits you, no spider-sense going off. you’re well tucked under heavy covers when you open your eyes, rigid in your sleep. not in the suit, you haven’t been in it for a while. it’s sill broken, and you’re not… not at work. not right now.

it doesn’t feel natural waking up in the manor. you’ve been opening your eyes to the posters your roommate put up on your walls, insisting on brighter decor. grown used to waking to sounds of chatter, maybe the radio, or the school bell telling you were devastatingly late to class and would be reprimanded for it.

you’re not used to waking up to neat wallpaper in a dark, old room. in the house you’ve barely lived in, barely wanted to live in. wayne manor is a sad place, and you're suddenly glad they send you away for most of the year.

summer vacations are the most miserable time of the year, everyone being sent home or off on vacation with their parents until they come back for next term. all the time you're stuck going to a manor you don’t want to be in, in a city you’re close to hating, with people who’ve made it too obvious they don’t want you here. they never say it to your face. but you know well enough.

but- but this time it’s different. this break, you won’t go to trouble tim with a puzzle you’d hope would interest him, one he’d take from you with a nod, and never think about again. you won’t go watch jason sneak into the pantry from a distance, trying to muster up the courage to talk to him and inevitably fail each time, as he swiftly left again. you won’t even offer to ask alfred if you could help him tend to the garden, only for him to smile pitiably gently at you and ask you if you’d 'rather not spend your time having more fun elsewhere'.

this time, you have work. something to do. someone to be.

you take to sauntering awake to a little desk in the corner of the room at five? four? in the morning, and sliding the drawer open to pull out a thick and scrappy diary. you’ve been writing in this since they first sent you off, since you were nine. 

"SP//DR BOT" graces the page you flip to, in bright paint-marker-blue. the picture of a poorly sketched, vaguely-humanoid mecha-suit follows, on which you scrawl with a drying pen. for the last seven months you've had someone to be. so you'd best get to it; kid-buggy.

₊˚⊹ a/n : first fic i've planned up to completion,, let's hope all goes well!! let me know if you want to be in the taglist <3

F1 Elementary | Teacher! Oscar Piastri x Teacher! Reader

summary: It's Halloween in Box elementary and Oscar decides it's a good idea to play secret admirer and finally make a move with one of the teachers.

pairings: teacher!oscar piastri x teacher!reader

a/n: Excuse any errors english isn’t my main language. This is based off Abbott Elementary. If it's in bold it's a confesional.

 The bell rang loudly, filling the halls mixing with the loud voices of the kids that were heading towards their classrooms. The teachers patiently waited outside the door greeting every single kid that entered. The hallways were different from their day to day. Miss L/n had stayed all night up decorating the halls to make them spooky for halloween. People could probably say that she could be a little bit of an overdoer. Spiders webs, spiders, pumpkins, bats surrounded the hallways, clinging towards the halloween aesthetic scaring a few of the kids. 

"Hi! I'm principal Norris. I still don't know how I ended up ruling this school but might I say I love it here. I’m the literal king of this school, everyone does what I say, it’s like I direct them or something. There’s a lot of perks of working at Box elementary,  Hot teachers, smart kids and the paycheck. Being a principal is the best, so I welcome you to my lovely kingdom. But enough about me, let’s talk about my untalented and ugly staff so you guys can see what I have to work with everyday. Look, there we have one of our annoying second grade teachers, Y/n. I'll leave you guys to it and let me say if you need more beauty shots, I'll be in my office" Lando said while tilting his crown down sending a kiss towards the camera. He turns to the left and the camera slowly follows him walking towards one of the students eating a lollipop. Lando  quickly takes it out of her hand and eats it himself. He walks away leaving the kindergartener alone crying in the halls. 

"Hello!! I'm Y/n L/n. But around here everyone calls me Miss L/n. I've been teaching second grade here for about four years now and honestly it's a blast. I love the kids, I love the school, I love my coworkers, I love the classes, I love my mood ...Sorry l am rambling but in my defense it's one of the best holidays of the year. Halloween!  and this year is different because we got the opportunity to dress up. They also let me put the whole school in halloween decor. All the kids are so excited to wear their little costumes and eat candies. That’s why I had to step up my game. Guess what I am? No? Okay. Well I’m a bumblebee cause people say I’m sweet like honey and sometimes that is annoying, but that’s nobody's buzzness. Did you get the joke? Did you understand?  Because I am dressed as a bee? I know you got it, I see that smile on your lips, cameraman. Anyway, let me just get to the point, I teach second grade and around here we all love to have fun. Do you want a Frankenstein cupcake? I made them myself" She said with a huge grin stretching out her hand with a cupcake toward the cameramen while the kids in the background made cute cupcakes. Her face was covered in frosting and her costume was covered in glitter. 

Oscar Piastri, smiled as he excitedly greeted his first graders, exclaiming proudly “happy halloween ” as they entered the classroom, His  Mark Webber  costume intact. He watched as his little students entered the classroom all giggly while holding onto buckets filled with candies he had personally requested them to bring so they could exchange with their classmates. When the last student entered, his eyes trailed towards the end of the hall where he could see Y/n L/n handing her kids a lollipop while they entered. Oscar stared at her in aw, as she did a dance battle with one of the kids that was dressed as a hip hop dancer. Y/n stinger got caught on the door making her fall back as all the kids from her class ran up to her to help her up. She shook them off by saving countless thank you’s. Y/n threw her head back laughing at her kids following the action as Oscar stayed in his place being starstruck by her beauty. Oscar waited a few seconds to catch her eye and waved at her with a soft smile which Y/n happily returned. Being lost by the sudden interaction Oscar couldn’t feel the small child tugging on the side of his pants trying to get his attention. 

“Mr. Oscar! You are staring at Miss L/n again. You said staring at people was rude” The child exclaimed quite loudly making Oscar jump up and panick. He quickly crouched down to be at the same level as the kid. 

“Alex, what did we say about yelling?” Oscar said softly, trying to push back his flushed face. Alex looked down towards his shoes shaking his head. 

“That we shouldn’t do it. I’m sorry Mr. Oscar. I was trying to get your attention because I needed to tell you something but you were looking at Miss L/n. I heard that in their class they are making cupcakes today. What are we going to do? It’s Halloween we should do something fun” Alex said, raising his head and grinning excitedly towards Oscar. Oscar mirrored his expression. 

“Well, I talked to Principal Norris and he said we could race cars outside. So after we exchange candies right after recess we can race” Oscar said resting his hands on his shoulder grinning. Alex quickly squealed in excitement jumping up and down. Oscar followed his actions moving side to side. “Wait, what did you need to tell me that was so urgent?” Oscar said quickly remembering what were his true intentions. 

“I actually don’t remember” Alex said, making a thinking face. 

"Mister Oscar!  Jeremy is kicking me again" a kid screamed from inside the classroom making Oscar quickly enter the room to detain the fiasco before it got worse. Jeremy was quite the fighter and he didn’t feel like cleaning up blood today. 

Oscar Piastri didn't expect to like being a teacher as much as he did but now after being a  teacher for about a year, he was starting to get the hang of things. He enjoyed the kids' presence, they made things actually fun for him and the best thing, aside from the kids, was Y/n L/n. Having Y/n around made the teaching experience quite refreshing. She was around the same age as Oscar  but she had been teaching there for about four years just like her close friend and English teacher, Logan Sargent. Oscar had tried several times to get in their little group but it was quite hard for him to click with the teachers. It wasn’t that they were mean or anything, it was the fact that they didn’t take the rookie teacher seriously. Adding to the fact that Oscar wasn’t the best when getting social clues, for some people, it felt like they were talking to a child while they were talking to Oscarl. 

“Mister Piastri, I wanted to inform you that the camera crew just got here today, so don't be surprised if they catch your fine ass. You look quite attractive with that, costume." Principal Norris said, peeking his head through the door. Oscar  turned around with a scared look on his face seeing Lando wiggle his eyebrows at him. Oscar’s hands dropped stopping the two kids that were originally fighting. 

"Excuse me?" Oscar asked, raising an eyebrow at Lando making him wink at Oscar. 

"I'm just playing but remember that they...Oh look they are here now! Here we have Mr. Oscar Piastri. He teaches first grade and he's been working here for about a year, yet he can barely get a hold of his class but we are working on it. So enjoy your time with him. The hottest teacher in the school. Bye" he exclaimed while he left Oscar standing agape in the hallway with a camera crew filming straight at him. Oscar quickly took his glasses off, cleaning them on his pants nervously while the kids screamed as loud as they could in the back of the class, the kids once again starting their fight.

“First of all, I'm not the hottest teacher here, I'll leave that to Charles and second of all I have perfect control of my kids. Didn’t you guys catch on camera me stopping the fight? " Oscar exclaimed defensively while putting on his glasses and looking at the camera clearly stressed. His hair was now messy pointing to several directions as his  breath was unsteady. 

"Mr. Oscarl! Help me, Jeremy is still pulling my hair now" a kid yelled from the back of the class quickly gaining Oscar’s attention. He quickly ran towards the back of the class and the camera crew quickly behind him. Oscar tried pulling Jeremy off one of the other kids but he wouldn't move.

"Jeremiah, let go!" Oscar said while falling desperately to get his attention. 

"I'm not letting go Osc! She bit me with her stupid vampire teeth" Jeremiah yelled, still not letting go of his grip becoming stronger. 

"First, I told you even though you are stronger than me to call me Mr. Oscar. Second of all, we said no bad words in the classroom and that included the word stupid.  Now let's just try to be in a loving mood, it's Halloween, don't you guys want to be in a loving mood?!" Oscar asked desperately, trying to convince the kids to let go of each other. All the kids around them were unphased by the interaction, exchanging candies while the fiasco unfolds.

"NO!" Both of the kids exclaim pushing Oscar down towards the floor. He closed his eyes in pain waiting for a few seconds for the floor to eat him alive. He let out a sigh, dragging himself to one of the classroom doors praying that someone, beside Lando or Y/n, would help him out. 

"How are you kids so strong?! Verstappen!  Verstappen please, please help me. Verstappen I know you can see me" Oscar exclaimed as he gripped on the side of the door from the floor. He reached forward holding his leg desperately not wanting him to move. Verstappen stopped dead in his tracks staring down at Oscar with pity. His eyes were nearly covered in tears as he begged him to come and help. Verstappen looked towards the break room as he turned his back from it, taking a step into the classroom but not before quickly rolling his eyes at Oscar. Instantly the kids stopped fighting while the ones that were exchanging candies  sat down hiding their sweets.

"How?" Oscar mouthed to the camera while watching the kids stay like statues with Verstappen.

"I'm  Max Verstappen. Please do not associate me with the principal or I will call the authorities against you. If it were my decision, I would have been principal and I would have said no to this little filming festival you have going around here. But since l am not principal, I have to answer your dumb questions.  I am the other second grade teacher here at Box elementary. The only person I don't get annoyed at in this school is possibly Oscar. He isn't the worst teacher in the world but he isn't the greatest. Kids here can be little shits but I have them under control. Oscar on the other hand doesn't. He lacks control and I truly believe he's one of the kids."  Verstappen said to the camera while moving to the side to let into view a giggling Oscar Piastri exchanging his candies  with his students excitedly.

Meanwhile, Logan and Carlos  walked together to the break lounge ready to eat their lunch and enjoy their break. Both of them worked on the second floor with the middle school kids and they were exhausted.

"Good evening, I'm Logan and I teach seventh grade english. I've been in this school for four years and quite frankly still don't know why I've stayed so long."

Carlos sat down taking his food out of his neatly prepared lunch box while Logan took his mug to serve himself some coffee. Both of them took in the wonderful peace and quiet that surrounded the break lounge, something that it always lacked. But the peace and quiet was interrupted by the door slamming open and a visually alarmed Oscar  coming through, Verstappen following behind shortly after.

"I'm so done with those little pieces of sh.. You"  Oscar took a deep breath pointing at the cameramen. "Stop following me with those stupid cameras. You're making me seem like I'm a bad teacher” he said while his eyes twitched, making Logan hide a chuckle with a cough. He continued to drink his coffee attempting to calm himself.

"I don't think they're making you seem like a bad teacher, maybe you're just being one” Carlos  responded while taking a bite of his sandwich making Logan  "cough" even louder.

"Carlos.  I came to this school the same time Oscar Piastri did and it still surprises me that he is still here. There were fifty new teachers and surprisingly the only two left are Oscar Piastri  and me, I thought he was going to be the first one to leave, yet here he is, still struggling and still not getting the hang of it" Carlos said to the camera while fixing the nonexistent wrinkles of his button up shirt.

"Well, I have you know I am a great teacher! My students say it to me all the time when I get emotional. I bet you don’t even cry with your students. My students and I had a Halloween party, something that didn't even cross your mind to have today. We exchanged candies, had a dance party and watched movies. They love me. I love them. And all you did was bore you kids to death today, I suppose. What did you do? Make them read" Oscar responded angrily while looking at the peaceful Carlos. 

"Actually, yes. We read about the history behind witches. Something you can actually do to learn since you come to school to learn not to party. But I guess you didn't get the memo since all you did was go to frat parties in college" he said taking another bite of his sandwich.

"Jokes on you I wasn't even in a frat. But I just know your kids wanted lollipops and by the way I gave my kids lollipops and none of them threw them at each other so I believe that's progress" Oscar said proudly while looking in the fridge giving his back to the teachers letting them see the back part of his robes covered in lollipops.

"Congrats! You are getting better, Piastri. I am really proud” Logan  applauded while placing his cup of coffee down.

“But I don't think you should get your kids hopes up with Halloween. You should show them the gory things that I showed mine today. Real, scary, halloween movies. When they’ll get older they will thank you for teaching them how to survive a psycho. ” Verstappen responded while sitting next to Carlos.

"Aren't your kids seven?" Carlos asked, concerned, raising an eyebrow at Verstappen.

"And your point is, Carlos Jr.?" Verstappen asked while taking a sip of his black coffee. 

“I already told you, my name isn't Carlos Jr., it's just Carlos" he said seriously while glaring at the man.

"I will not stop spreading love in my classroom.I love Halloween and no one and I mean no one  loves Halloween more than me" Oscar exclaimed sitting down with his arms crossed. 

"Hellooo fellow teachers!" Y/n exclaimed throwing flower petals in the air while entering the break room. 

"I highly doubt it" Logan responded while looking at his best friend, dressed up in her vibrant yellow costume. She was holding onto a basket filled with sweets while her wings neatly placed on her back. Her hair wasn't styled as usual, instead it was pulled back in two braids with her antennas.

"Happy Halloween to you, and you, and you" She said, handing a beautifully devoted Halloween box to each of her coworkers.

Carlos smiled softly, Logan whispered a thanks and Verstappen rolled his eyes, but deep down he loved it. Y/n headed towards Oscar giving him a bigger box than the rest. Oscar blushed hard, taking in the gift in his hand while Y/n placed down her things. 

"Thank you, Y/n. I appreciate it a lot" he said smiling softly but his smile got wider when she sat next to him.

"You're welcome Oscar! By the way, I love your red bull costume. I really like the redbull drink. A lot of my students dressed the same. It looks cute" she said, playing with the ends of Oscar’s long sleeve . 

“Actually, Y/n. Oscar’s dressed as An...” Verstappen started but quickly got cut off by Oscar slamming his hand against the table. 

"Thank you, Y/n! I was trying really hard for that can look. I really like your bee costume. I know everyone was buzzing about it” he said excitedly while trying to hide his  blush. Y/n threw her head laughing hitting Oscar’s shoulder softly making Oscar blush more if it even was possible.  

"Thank you! I wanted to go all out today, I heard that the party was going to be the bomb.” Y/n said winking towards Oscar which made him grin excitedly. 

“You know about that?” Oscar asked confusedly, while taking his food out of his bag. 

“Yeah! My kids were telling me about some big plan you have after recess. I was so excited for the afternoon party I forgot to bring lunch" She smiled at her while opening a water bottle and looking down at her notes to fix anything that was incorrect for the party the school was throwing later today.

"Here, have my sandwich" Oscar exclaimed quickly, planting the sandwich next to her. She looked up from her paper shaking her head.

“Don't worry about it Oscar. You should eat, I can wait until later.” She responded by trying to hand it back at him but he shook his head.

"Have it, I'm not even hungry" Oscar said smiling softly while shrugging trying not to worry her.

"Thank you Oscar! I owe you one" Y/n said, taking a bite while Logan looked at the camera suspiciously while drinking his coffee.

"What? I'm not hungry. My stomach is filled with brownies, candies and cupcakes. Plus the cupcake I had this morning, if Y/n’s hungry I wouldn't mind giving her my food!! Or anyone not necessarily her, I give my food to everyone that wants it, look. Here have this kiwi" Oscar exclaimed while taking out the kiwi he was previously eating and handing it in to a kid that was passing by. The kid stared at Oscar weirdly before continuing walking.

"So,what are you guys doing tonight? Anything special planned in this spooky evening" Oscar asked, trying to change the subject while they all peacefully ate. Everyone stayed quiet but Oscar anxiously taped his finger on the round table making Carlos groan and speak up.

"Well, since you're being nosy, I rented out a movie theater to watch movies tonight with my girlfriend” Carlos responded, closing his book. Y/n squealed, turning to him with a smile. "It was so romantic. What did you get?" Carlos asked, directing himself to Y/n, but she simply shrugged.

“The kids gave me some beautifully made cupcakes, those that count?" She asked sitting next to him, Verstappen laughed making the two stare at him.

“It's sad that you want that to count," he said, taking another sip of his coffee.

“Don't listen to Max, he's just jealous the kids didn't give him anything because they are scared of him” Carlos said, rolling his eyes as Y/n fixed her posture awkwardly. 

"My kids love me, they know my second grade class is the superior one and they did get me sweets. I just don't like them" Verstappen responded, getting a bag of candy and throwing it on the table leaving Carlos in shock.

"Well, maybe you'll get something later, the night is still young" Oscar said suspiciously while looking at the camera with a smirk. As if it were by cue a delivery man opens the door holding a big strawberry bouquet.

“Delivery for Y/n L/n” the delivery man said while reading the card. Y/n excitedly got up taking it in her hands and placing it down on the table picking the card to see from who it was. She quickly smiled at the delivery man saying thanks before he left. All the teachers looked at the bouquet waiting for her to say who it was from.

"Who is it from?" Oscar  asked while standing next to her with a huge grin on his face.

"It says spooky berries from a secret admirer, " she said, picking a strawberry and eating it.

Logan, Carlos and Verstappen stood outside in the hallways with the camera crew Filming them.

"It was Oscar" the trio said at the same time while rolling their eyes.

"This is beautiful! The person that got me this has to know me really well, I love chocolate covered strawberries. They are literally the best thing to ever exist on this planet"

" You see! I know her well!! I got her that gift and went all out! I'm proud of my hard work and the smile on her face is to die for. So ha! I win Halloween" Oscar exclaimed happily at the camera while grinning.

"Breaks over, I need my teachers in their classrooms so they can take the kids to that dumb party Y/n’s making" Lando said entering the lounge and getting himself some coffee.

"Nothing you can do will ruin my mood today, Lando. So I will take that as a compliment" She responded, taking a picture of the strawberries.

"You got yourself that gift? That's sad, even for you L/n" Lando responded while taking a sip of the drink.

"Actually, it was a secret admirer," she responded, not even looking at him.

"Oscar, it was Oscar" Lando said, looking at the camera in the hallway while taking a bite of a strawberry he had taken from Y/n's gift.

"Also how are you guys enjoying the reality show we have going on here?" Lando asked, winking at the camera.

"I feel watched and stalked" Verstappen responded seriously.

"I didn't ask you. Oscar?" Lando turned his head towards Oscar who started to pick up his things so he could head back to his classroom. 

"This isn't a reality show Lando. it's a documentary for schools with poor funding so I don't think we should be proud of that” he said while standing up and putting his tote bag on his shoulder. 

"You know what I'm not proud of, the fact I haven't received my Valentine's Day gift yet" Lando said only for him to hear. Oscar shivers while looking at him with the same expression as before. "Now everyone chop chop. We don't have all day" he continued while applauding obnoxiously.

Everyone started leaving the teachers lounge leaving Oscar to himself to open the box Y/n had given him, he slowly opened the box and opened his eyes wide when he saw the gift.

"Oh, I've known about Oscars' crush ever since he started working here. But I love seeing the reactions he does when he thinks I don't know a thing about the little gestures he does for me. That's why I decided that I should give something back" Y/n said smiling to the camera holding the gift she had received from him. In the background you could see Oscar dancing excitedly and when Y/n turned around to look at him, he froze waving at her trying to act cool which Y/n responded with a smile while quickly turning to her classroom.

Oscar looked at his kids jumping up and down at the party and he smiled. He looked at the camera men and then down at his hands.

"I'm going on a date today" He said screaming while joining his kids in a dance battle.

Logan looked at Oscar and then at his best friend from the other side of the school gym and smiled softly at her.

"You asked him out, didn't you?" Logan asked, looking at Y/n.

"Yes, I think he’s cute." She responded while looking at the dancing Oscar. Both of them looked at how Oscar huddled up with the kids pushing a car to make the kids star driving. A few seconds in, a kid “runs’ over another ones leg making them cry.

“I though he meant toy cars?! Seven year olds don’t have diverse license��

I think there is something of a story that could be made out of tech no longer being supported by the tech is life supporting

You know what? YES! There is a story to be made out of tech no longer being supported even though it's life supporting! My fuckin emails!

I used to use Windows' default mail app, which sucked. It couldn't work with custom email addresses and was generally janky, but you know what? It was my janky default mail app, because I was too lazy to change it to a better one. Just like with every other default app included with Windows 10 (which I still use even though they came out with a Windows 11 (even though they said they'd never do that (fuckin tryhards)))

But then Windows was all like

"mail app will no longer be supported, please switch to Outlook, bleh".

And that's when my alarm bells started ringing. I knew shit was going down hill. First they took Flash, and now they're after my fuckin MAIL?!? Is nothing sacred???

And what's worse, they had the gall to make *me* do something, and accept change, when I'd much rather be embracing stagnancy. What? Are we too good for the bare minimum all of a sudden?

But, I also knew the deadline was like six months away, so I didn't do shit and forgot about it. Because I have a heavy prescription for A.D.D., a mental disorder which makes it difficult to not put things off until the last minute since I can't think in scales longer than about six days. I am heavily dependant on my calendar app to tell me when to do stuff.

But then it happened. Six entire months had passed, and I finally had to change to Outlook. That made my afternoon a SLIGHTLY more stressful and busy than it'd have normally been, the bastards

But, you know what? There's no point getting angry over that. I think I might have just been too complacent with my old shitty default mail app all that time, and was too lazy and had too many dysfunctioning executives to look for better options. I might never have known what other mail apps could be like until someone gave me that little push. There really is a lesson to be learned here. 😔

And you know what that lesson is?

DON'T EVER FUKIN TRUST WINDOWS! BECAUSE OUTLOOK IS WAY SHITTER AND JANKIER THAN MAIL APP! WHY DID THEY MAKE ME SWITCH TO IT???

It takes forever to open, it also fucked the calendar app because apparently those can't be separate windows anymore so I had to spend like 20 minutes fixing it, then it fucked my wife, and just today it refused to open at all because it FALSELY believed it was already open.

I ended up having to restart my entire ass computer, WITH A FORCED WINDOWS UPDATE, giving me plenty of time to write this post. Haven't slept in 42 hours btw (unrelated). Then Outlook decided to log me out, so I had to find my password to sign back in. Meanwhile, I couldn't do any work because the only thing I needed to do was see my goddamned emails! So I finally get in, and I discovered that apparently that Windows update was updating Outlook, because I had to tell them that NO, I DON'T WANT MY DATA HARVESTED.

All this and for what? Fashionable looking UI design? Compatibility with email handles that don't end with @gmail.com?

What do I look like, some kinda jackass who owns multiple alternate email addresses with custom domains? Custom domains that I've been using an entirely separate web based email service to check since the old mail app wouldn't let me open them, but I was just too lazy to switch over to completely for my primary work and school gmails? Do I look like someone who bought themadscientist@ravingsofamadscientist.com thinking that somehow a *mailing list* would make me INTERNET FAMOUS?

Because yes, I am and I did do that. But you know what? I STILL do all that because I haven't gotten around to putting those emails into Outlook!

YOUR FORCED EMAIL SERVICE MIGRATION ACHIEVED NOTHING! SUCK IT BILL GATES!

For me, personally, we settled into Armageddon Comes While I'm Sleeping pretty quickly! A favorite song of mine when I was in high school was Armageddon by Alkaline Trio. It seemed to connect well to me with what I was going through -- depression with a major key, yknow?

If I had to make other tags for myself now, here's some concepts I would go with (but nothing speaks to me more than what I've got currently). Pulling these out of thin air:

Falling Faster (based on the song of the same name)

How Can I Sleep With All This Noise (a comment on my recovery)

My Blue Heart Floods (blue is my associated color, double meaning of "flooding")

Anarchy Never Felt So Dead Inside (two of my fave songs, comment on my original role)

Pride In The Fall (comment on my new role)

Nice! I love making these fun tags. Curtis actually made the original ones. If I had to do everyone else...

Oh wow is that so, thanks so much for the clarification! I’m surprised though because I’ve seen a Japanese fanartist draw art monthly based on what they said was the latest chapter so I’m confused now about what they were referring to then. It’s definitely about Win though, like apparently the May issue has him poisoned, they take his shirt off to heal him and he seems to have a nightmare, does this ring any bells by chance?

So sorry for the trouble.

Ohhhh okay I think I get what’s confusing, lol. Long story short:

Duel Masters Lost is a spinoff web manga featuring Win in high school.

Weekly online releases.

It’s written by Shigenobu Matsumoto with art by Yoh Kanebayashi.

It's on hiatus.

It’s easy to legally read online + has an English fan translation going.

Duel Masters Win is the mainline and gets physical releases in Corocoro magazines featuring Win in middle school.

Monthly physical releases.

It's written and drawn by Shigenobu Matsumoto.

It’s still going.

There’s some places you can hunt for it online ;P. The manga is untranslated, but 5 eps of the anime are.

Now the very longer explanation, if you want, just to clear up some of the stuff you might’ve seen. I assume you haven’t read any of the mainline, and I’m very happy to infodump ✨

So you’ve read Lost, yeah? Well this is the life that Win lost*.

* (presumably—assuming it’s the same universe. We don’t know 100% yet)

The gist of the mainline is that Win’s a “it’s always good to look on the bright side of things and be happy with what you have” kinda kid, yeah? Well Jashin has rolled up to try and make him the king of darkness.

This is how they meet! Yaaaaaaay 🎉

One day Jashin manifests in his deck like “I am the wicked god who appears every thousands years and you just summoned me, so let’s destroy the world, kill all humans, I want blood, I want flesh, etc etc.” and Win’s like “🫤….Anyway this is a cool card.” because he’s happy with his life with his dad and friends and isn’t interested in power.

So things happen and such, but it’s a pretty reoccurring point that Jashin keeps trying to goad Win into being fucked up and evil, taking revenge on those who wrong him, and becoming the king of darkness. And Win consistently rejects that, even though he does show signs of slowly degrading as the world keeps trying him. He accidentally almost kills a guy like once. And later gets into a fistfight with said guy. But they make up eventually lmao👍

But later—more relevant to what you saw—a woman called Nonno shows up and messes with Win’s friends, and this actually really gets to him. Win gets so pissed at her he starts overflowing with dark power. Jashin is very happy about this, of course.

But just as Win snaps and Jashin goes to kill her, the rest of the members of Nonno’s group show up. The leader easily defeats and dismembers Jashin and takes him away, causing all of Win’s dark energy to dissipate and him to pass out. (Rip bozo)

He then got taken to the hospital, prolly what you’ve seen. Nothing’s necessarily wrong with him, but the dark power’s being all haywire. Basically when he wakes up he can’t control the power, and starts accidentally disintegrating living things.

He’s gotten the power of the king of darkness. Y’know, the powers to destroy the world 👍

Now that’s, yannow, bad, and he’s a threat to his friends if he outbursts, so the headmaster locked him away in a cube at the bottom of the ocean I guess to test how strong his heart is and 😭 he’s just gonna suffocate if he doesn’t get out. We didn’t see him this month’s chapter at all cuz he’s just been stuck in that fucking cube offscreen 😭😭😭

And that’s all caught up.

I left out and generalized a LOT—but that’s the gist.

The anime covers basically all the events leading up to Nonno and stuff, but there’s some changes and it’s a lot slower paced with a bit of a different tone and more random YouTuber collabs lmao. Like it shows Win’s friend getting messed with, but it doesn’t set him off the same way and they somehow wrote Nonna out of it. Also there’s no fistfight 😔

Some of the source materials are easier to find than others, like season 1 of the anime’s pretty easy.

Thanks for reading. I can’t proof this all so um let’s hope it’s mostly grammatically and logically okay.

When Was the Last Time You Checked Your Fire Protection System Singapore?

Fire safety is something most people take for granted—until it's too late. Whether you're a homeowner, a business owner, or a facilities manager, one important question can make all the difference: When did you last inspect your fire protection system Singapore? In a nation like Singapore, where strict fire safety laws are in place, regular inspections on your fire systems aren't just recommended—they're necessary.

Fire Protection System Singapore: It's Not Just Equipment

A Singapore fire protection system is not merely putting alarms or sprinklers in place. It is an interconnected web of equipment, methods, and maintenance practices intended to warn, control, and put out fires. This involves fire alarms, sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, emergency lights, and even fire doors. All of these must be prepared to function at any given time, particularly in high-density settings such as shopping centers, office buildings, industrial facilities, and residential towers.

The question isn't whether you have a fire protection system—it's whether it's working as intended. A malfunctioning or out-of-date system can have disastrous results, and in Singapore, where safety is of utmost importance, that's a risk you cannot take. 

Why Timely Maintenance Matters

Systemic inspection and servicing of your Singapore fire protection system guarantee adherence to regulations as determined by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). More significant, however, is that regular servicing and inspection protect lives and property. Properly maintained, a system has the capability of detecting early traces of fire and triggering required suppression systems before such a situation escalates.

Without proper maintenance, even the most sophisticated systems can malfunction. The usual culprits include corrosion, dust build-up, electrical malfunctions, and system wear and tear. Therefore, seeking the services of a certified fire protection firm in Singapore becomes inevitable in order to maintain your system in its best state.

Warning Signs You Can't Afford to Ignore

The following are some warning signs that your fire protection system Singapore may need an inspection:

Infrequent maintenance or old inspection records

Alarms that do not sound during testing

Visible sprinkler head or control panel damage

Low fire hose reel or extinguisher pressure

Increasingly frequent false alarms

If any of these ring a bell, it's time to hire professional fire protection services Singapore.

The Role of Fire Protection Companies

Having a reputable fire protection company in Singapore is essential to ensure that your systems are properly installed and regularly maintained. The fire protection companies provide end-to-end fire protection services Singapore such as system audits, regular inspections, repairs, and documentation to comply with standards.

Most organizations perform yearly inspections but neglect the value of regular inspections. Based on the environment—be it a kitchen, data center, or factory—some of the elements of your fire protection system Singapore will need to be attended to more frequently.

Fire Safety in Different Sectors

In domestic buildings, effective alarms and fire extinguishers are of utmost importance. In industrial and business environments, sophisticated systems with sprinklers, suppression agents, and control panels are prevalent. One failure in one part of a fire protection system Singapore can undermine the whole system.

Hotels, hospitals, and schools have to meet higher standards of safety because of the large number of people inside. In these places, professional fire protection services Singapore can assist in taking evacuation drills, fire drills, and staff training, all of which supplement the physical system.

Who's Responsible?

It's simple to take for granted that the building management is taking care of everything, but as a tenant, business owner, or homeowner, you have responsibility too. Simply asking your landlord or facilities manager where the fire protection system Singapore is can assist in keeping you safe. If you are the owner of the property, the responsibility falls squarely on your shoulders.

Even minor slips—such as forgetting to charge an extinguisher—can become fatal in the event of an emergency. This is where established names such as drakofire step in with professional solutions designed to meet your property's unique needs.

Don't Wait for a Fire to Act

The worst time to find out your fire protection system Singapore isn’t working is during a fire. Take a proactive stance by scheduling routine checks and working with a qualified fire protection company in Singapore.

If you’re unsure where to start, seek out fire protection services Singapore that include a full system evaluation. Some providers offer digital inspection logs, compliance checklists, and emergency support. This added transparency ensures that every aspect of your fire protection system Singapore is up to par.

Conclusion

Regardless of whether you own a business or a home, one thing is clear: maintaining your fire protection system Singapore isn't optional—it's necessary. Regular inspections, expert servicing, and the right partnerships are what separate safety from disaster. Businesses like drakofire get this, and so should you.

So, ask yourself once more: When did you last inspect your fire protection system Singapore? If you can't recall, now is the time to take action.

Youth reading is down today, and reading by boys has fallen off a cliff. Even worse, a big chunk of what passes for youth reading today is web content or graphic novels rather than actual books. Against that backdrop, the old social studies teacher in me was intrigued to discover Joe Giorello’s Great Battles for Boys books this summer. For more than a decade, he has been penning straightforward, no-bells-or-whistles books about the battles of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War II, and so forth. A glance at Amazon suggests that books have done gangbusters, with title after title a top seller in its category. What’s going on? Does Giorello know something that others don’t? I was curious to hear more, so I reached out to Giorello, a veteran middle school teacher who set out to write books for boys who hate to read (like his son). Here’s what he had to say. —Rick Rick: I only learned about your Great Battles for Boys books this spring. I can’t help but find something remarkably countercultural about that pitch. What prompted you to start writing these volumes? Joe: It was my wife! She noticed that our 3rd grade son hated to read yet would listen to any military-history documentary for hours. Knowing my passion for military history, she asked me to start writing about significant battles just for him. Those homegrown chapters sparked a fire. He started asking to go to the library for military-history books. Then, other parents whose boys were “allergic to books” asked for those chapters. And the same thing happened to them. This whole series was built organically, just trying to show boys that reading can be really exciting. Rick: How did your experience as a history teacher shape your approach? Joe: Nothing puts you at ground zero like teaching. Kids ask great questions, and those questions reveal their comprehension levels. For instance, I was teaching about a complicated World War I battle when a boy raised his hand and asked, “Mr. G, what’s a bayonet?” And another boy asked, “Who are the good guys?” Those kinds of questions remind me to focus on what boys at ages 8 to 12 can understand. Those questions also help develop the books. For instance, I decided to explain more about the weapons, the tactics, and even some of the politics behind the battles. Those questions showed me that boys didn’t know about those things from other readings. Rick: I notice that some of your books were co-authored with your wife, Sibella. How does that work? Joe: As I said, the series was her brainchild. She’s an accomplished writer with a bestselling mystery series and she has been twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for her journalistic work. We really tag-teamed those first chapters for our son. I would research and write up the battles—in longhand because I don’t type—based on the historical evidence, and she would shape that writing into a suspenseful narrative that didn’t read like a textbook.

So, what’s going on? Why have these books been such a silent success? The most salient explanation may be the frank, unapologetic decision to offer books about “great battles for boys” in an era when that’s largely absent from classrooms. This may simply be the kind of history that a lot of boys are eager to read about. Of course, even penning that sentence can feel remarkably risqué nowadays, which may be a big part of the problem. It got me thinking. My elementary-age kids have brought home or been assigned a number of children’s books on history. Most are focused intently on social and cultural history. I’ll be honest. Even as someone who’s always been an avid reader, I find a lot of that stuff pretty tedious. As a kid, I found books about the Battle of Midway or D-Day vastly more interesting than grim tales of teen angst, and I don’t think that makes me unusual. Moreover, it surprises no one (except the occasional ideologue) to learn that girls generally appear more interested in fiction than boys—or that boys tend to prefer reading about sports, war, comedy, and science fiction, while girls favor narratives about friendship, animals, and romance. Today, when I peruse classroom libraries, recommended book lists, or stuff like the summer reading suggestions from the American Library Association, I don’t see much that seems calculated to appeal to boys. One reason that boys read less than girls may be that we’re not introducing them to the kinds of books they may like. There was a time when schools really did devote too much time to generals and famous battles, but we’ve massively overcorrected.

Formally, I believe that everyone should read if they want to. Informally, it makes me sad to think that outside factors come together to kill the love for reading that young boys may have. It didn’t bother me or anger me that boys brushed me off when I called for them to come get free books. I wasn’t mad when one particular student told me he had never read a book before, or when another one said he had only ever read two. It made me sad that this was the kind of speech that was normalized around the male reading experience. It’s not cool to read, it’s not special or unique or altogether something that makes you better than other people—but it’s also not cool not to read. I fear that may be the dialogue we’ve created, and I do not know how we move on from here.

[britcision]

So I wanna talk a little more about this concept of digital natives and also tie a little into learned behaviour, because this is fun to me

First: this idea of kids these days being “digital natives” and having some kind of innate understanding of technology has actually seriously fucked the younger generations over

They are not being taught computer skills

Your bell curve around 40 of computer competence are because the kids who were taught how to use a computer in school are generally 30-50 now (for the very lucky ones who learned early)

We used to have classes on this; on how to type, how to set up files and folders, how to actually make a computer do the basic tasks you need to know to use it well, not just how to code

There’s jokes about kids not knowing why the floppy disk icon means save, or why the call button on phones looks like that, but it’s not because the kids have done anything wrong or are uniquely ignorant

They have no frame of reference, and are not being given one

Sure, some kids will poke around and learn anyway, but young adults are entering workplaces not knowing how to sort and nest folders to organize files, or how to find anything stored that way

They’re struggling with the exact same tasks “old folks” used to struggle with, because growing up on a tablet or a smart phone or even a gaming laptop does not prepare you for a workstation

They do fundamentally different things, but because people assume they’re “digital natives”, they are expected to know all the inner workings by magic, just because the technology is older than they are

(I have touched and held a floppy disk - the smaller, solid, not floppy ones. And I think the last time I put one in a computer for serious reasons I was 5)

This is actually relevant to AO3 in particular because while AO3 has fantastic optimization for mobile (means: looks good on small screen all buttons work), it is not designed like a mobile app

AO3 is very plainly still set out as a website, meant to be accessed through a monitor with mouse and keyboard

When you open AO3 on mobile or on laptop or desktop, it looks almost exactly the same, including the layout. This is an intentional choice (and in my opinion, always the right one; you don’t want users to get confused by how different your site looks based on the device you’re using)

This feels very intuitive to some older users because it is what we grew up with, and yeah, like otnf says, it’s how a lot of fandom and especially fic spaces have been set up since this was the hot new tech; we’re used to this kind of layout, and having to click a couple times to get our filters set the way we like

For anyone who is experiencing AO3 as their very first fanfic platform, their expectations are gonna be shaped by the other media they’ve seen up til now

The search bar is… just a search bar. A text box in the top menu

And sure, once you hit “search” you get buttons for filters another refinement, but the thing they teach you first in web design is that if you want users to see a feature, it must be glaringly obvious and maybe a weird colour because your brain filters out one fuck of a lot of background noise in everything you look at

That’s not what you want to see when you’ve just run a search; presumably, you want to focus on the results, and if you’re already planning to filter, congrats! The button’s right there at the top

If you have no reason to know or expect the button to be there, the search box is all there is, and it is super easy to just scroll on past to your results and filter slowly and laboriously

There is no web design that can fix this

AO3 is right not to prioritize it; there is not a magic right answer. A text field above the “Edit Your Search” button might help? So might a pop up for a logged in user, that they can close and never see again once they know the secret

But the primary goal of the search page is to show you the results of the search you just did

And this is where learned behaviour comes into play!

Cuz you see, we can’t change the AO3 interface; we can just get better at using it, and finding our own ways to get what we want

The websites we use a lot train us to look at other websites in a similar way, exactly like a mouse learning the best path through a maze

If you are used to using another button to filter search results, you are more likely to look for one

If you’re used to features being big and flashy and attention grabbing, you are less likely to look at anything that isn’t

AO3 inherited a lot of its structure from fic platforms that came before, because the people who built it were used to using that structure, which felt natural and intuitive to them

Once you have learned to use a system well, there’s a pretty quick tail off where you forget you had to learn anything at all; it’s super easy, just click these three buttons and bam! Here’s a spreadsheet!

(This is in fact a major part of my job in business analysis; breaking down old systems and simplifying them so that they are actually easier to train new staff on. Old staff are generally reluctant to bother and want to use their older “intuitive” systems until they get a look at how simple the new system can be, and realize how much actual training time they could just avoid

Then it’s pretty popular, so long as it still feels “intuitive” to people used to the old system - things like keywords and similar placement of buttons, but if you can cut out four steps in the process? Hell yeah)

So, once you get used to how AO3 works, you forget you had to learn. And it seems so very silly to see all these new people in the notes, afraid of clicking buttons

(Absolutely click every button you don’t immediately understand on a trusted site, it’s break testing the code and if you can do anything seriously damaging it’s better you a benevolent user find out than someone Planning Evil)

But if they are used to very different site structure, or even used to using apps instead of browsers, or even just haven’t used a similar site before (and be honest; how many others are there in your daily lives?) they have no reason to even assume there could be a button there to look for

“Edit Your Search”? Well I can do that by typing a different thing in the text box, why would I need a button?

(Note: there is no magic phrasing that will prevent this)

In the burgeoning days of the internet, we had no fan sites and a lot of people at least started making their own; we have insider knowledge on how sites are built, structured, and the language for what everything on a site does comes from these times

It used to be much more bare bones, so we know where to generally look for filters and things like that

And then we forget we needed to be told, and it all just seems so obvious

Tl;dr: AO3 features like search filters seem obvious to you because you know they’re there. Give everyone else a year with them and they too will also consider them obvious

There’s always gonna be an onboarding period, and reworking AO3 to cater to that would only make it frustrating for long term users… including the ones who would initially benefit from the redesign

How many times do you want to scroll past or dismiss a “Filter Your Search Here! You can use And, Or, and other operators!……..” bubble?

But it does.

02. spiderwocky ── secrets you'd keep

platonic | spiderverse x spiderman!reader x batfamily | ms. list

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤdisclaimers on masterlist!

index. prologue , chapter one , chapter two , chapter three ... to be continued. based on this

two days, you hum, two days, you tap your foot impatiently on the floor, two days, the sp//dr bracelet on your wrist feels tight, two days till you go back to school. summer break has always been a buffer in between the year, taking you away from somewhere where you’re comfortable, to someplace that’s just plain awkward. a reminder that you can’t run, spiderman, can’t run.

the suit’s come along beautifully. you don’t have much opportunity or time to really test it out, since gotham’s crackly, ancient buildings would probably crumble under the weight of metal, but it looks nice. 

the suit, yeah. it’s taken up most of your time this break. you’ve not had much time to creep up to your brothers and turn away when they don’t hear you. gotham’s always lonely, but with sp//dr this time, you fit in your skin a bit better. even while it itches and shudders under the pressure of wanting to leap around again.

in preparation, you’ve quarrelled your way into getting permission to use gotham prep’s chemistry lab after school hours, lightly nagging bruce into signing a form for you, one he didn’t really even glance at. you’re trying to figure out how to make stronger web fluid, storing all of sp//dr’s feedback in the back of your head. the past few days, you’ve been leaving the manor at five, telling alfred you’ll be back by six, and sneaking back to the manor at nine, since he doesn’t check. storing the fluid is another thing, figuring out different capsules… ejection systems… it’s boring work.

the bell outside rings, notifying the end of school hours for people who stay back for extra classes. you’ve been meaning to get home earlier today, working up the courage to ask tim or barbara to “help with a school project” and get their notes on your totally hypothetical material that’s 2.62 (+1.00 since you’re experimenting)  times stronger than steel. you’re shoving books you borrowed from the library to disguise yourself as an overeager student while you leave the lab, so focused on what you’re going to say later, you don’t notice bumping into someone head-on.

the guy’s at least two times larger than you, but he stumbles harder than you, reminding you you’re supposed to stumble too. you feign a fall, getting up with a huff- you’re about to apologise when you see the guy’s face twist- angry. you stiffen. spiderman confronts conflict with fight, (name) only knows how to run.

“what the hell?-” he takes a step forward, eyebrows pinched so low his face looks disfigured, hazy-eyed too, “look where you’re going bitch!”. you cringe a little, “… i’m sorry?” he fumes even more, this guy’s got some serious issues up there. his coarse hands come up to shove you, but you don’t fall back, before remembering that you probably should. forcefully, your head hits the side of the door, and you hiss in irritation.

you haul yourself aside, and he trips on his feet, falling with a frustrated yelp. it’s best you leave, (name)’s great at running away. the corridor isn't very long, holding onto the straps of your bag, sp//dr hums on your wrist as you hurry down the stairs. “gotham is so unique,” she notes, “odd folk everywhere.” you squint, “doesn’t make gotham very unique if odd people are everywhere though, does it?”

“don’t tell me what to do- all you washed up... washed up nerds think you’re so bloody better than the rest of us-” what the hell is this guy talking about? is he drunk? doesn’t seem outta place for a teenager to be drunk in gotham. and nerd? he should aim lower, hit harder, think brighter- you interrupt him, and your flurry of thoyghts, scuttling over your sentence- “i- uh, i don’t go here.”

the world slows down, and you see his fist come up, aimed at your face. sp//dr tuts; unappreciative, like an aged aunty.

if she could smile, maybe she would’ve, you hear it in her voice. “perhaps, i wouldn’t say we’re not too odd either.” the hurt on your head starts to ebb out, your healing factor’s been developing slowly.

two pairs of masked eyes narrow outside a small window, peering in at you in the stairwell, in a sync that could be described as unnatural. odd. you miss them when you duck your head, and they scatter by the time you’re up again.

“i don’t want to alarm you,” sp//dr says, through what would’ve been gritted teeth… if she wasn’t, you know, toothless, “but those two fellows over there, have been following us for a while.” you know they have, glancing shortly at them, and you think they know you know too.

the ride to the train station was quiet, you spent most of it looking outside, willing yourself to blink manually. alfred dropped you, since despite your low involvement with the wayne family, bruce was still paranoid of any potential harm. 

hey, you think a little brightly, at least he bothered. 

break’s over, thank goodness, and your suit’s been sent back to gotham entirely disassembled, disguising itself as a robotics project (at least, that’s what you told alfred when you went out to mail it back to queens). you’d set your head against the window, and your head vibrated, rapping against the glass. 

…

alfred drove off after a few pleasantries, a gentle “safe travels”, and a nod in your direction. you might miss him, keyword: might, and check the time and the car drives off. eleven forty-three, you have half an hour before the train comes by. 

sp//dr notices your silence, and hums against your wrist, made into a bracelet. “get something to eat, (name);” she’d said, “missed breakfast in your rush.” you’d made a noise of acknowledgement, rattling your suitcase so that the wheels get unstuck from the crevices in the pebbled-stone. 

a sandwich maybe? you’re not hungry actually, haven’t had much time to do anything that would really make you hungry. the place’s littered with people, people, and more people. it’s only a few minutes into looking around that your senses start to bubble, and a familiar instinct of anxiety buzzes. 

two men, one dressed like a cowboy and the other in flashy cloth, fairly normal but… you look around, a little out of place. no one else seems to notice them there, and you’re a little unsettled, turning your back to them and sprinting to a small stall, paying quickly for a sandwich you don’t actually have time to eat. 

“hey kid,” a voice speaks out, heavy on the accent, a hand on your shoulder. you whip around, “was hoping to catch a word.” it’s the cowboy, and you’ve gone stiff, stammering nervously. “um…

do.. do i know you?” the man smiles, but your sense isn’t going off… okay, (name), you inhale, just relax, listen, and get the hell out. you literally have a train to catch!

“you wouldn’t, but you should,” you tilt your head. the man sticks out a hand “patrick o’hara, and this is…” he gestures at the other man, “my, err, colleague, cooper coen.”

you tap your foot against the floor, “um. and?” the other guy; cooper, smiles, probably finding your bluntness funny. “we’ll cut to the chase, (name)”, he knows your name. they know your name, why do they know your name? “we know you’re spiderman.”

your ears start to buzz, sp//dr feels tight on your wrist.

patrick scratches his goatee, following up awkwardly, “errr… well, this world’s spiderman, he means.” you hope you’re not too rude, in the way you’re staring, and the hissed string of swears that follow.

“multiple spidermans and multiple worlds…” you inhale slowly, taking a sip from the soda cooper bought for the three of you, “how does that work?”

the three of you sit on a rickety bench, twenty minutes before your train’s here. “now can’t go into the specifics, kid” patrick grumbles, “all some technic gibberish that’d be better off from the horse's mouth.” you try not to sound dumb, “... your horse?” 

he barks out a laugh, startling sp//dr, who’s revealed her spindly form and sits on your lap behind your soda glass. “no, no, from the boss, yeah? you’ll meet him when we get there.”

cooper looks at you pointedly, “and we will get there. there’ll be arrangements made for your school and…” he hesitates, you squint, he squints, patrick coughs, “your family? anyway, we’ve given you the basics- you got them, right? just don’t go around- you know, freaking out.” 

patrick hums, the sound like a low tractor engine, “yeah, we’ve got another nutcase to-be-fixed, work’s tough all around.”

“i’m not a nutcase,” they hear you grumble under your breath, “i won’t freak out.” patrick claps a hand on your shoulder, his soda untouched, “never said so, kid.”

there’s a click of electricity, and the two of them look down at orange watches clasped on their wrists in sync. cooper said something about it being “communication tech” but you didn’t get to ask as many questions as you’d like. it’s difficult for you to infer the hologram that shoots up from it (and sp//dr’s too obviously intrigued), but they stand up with overlapping mutters.

“well,” cooper motions his head towards a slightly more secluded, hidden area, “you coming, kid?”

you hesitate. “how do i know this isn’t some kind of trick? doesn’t sound very real.” patrick o’hara pulls a piece of red cloth over his face, two white parallelograms for eyes on it; looks a little like the visors on your suit. “don’t really have a reason to be tricking the newbie-spider do we, cooper?”

“we don’t,” the other drawls, turning away from the two of you, “besides it’ll be good for you too.” 

“good how?”

patrick looks a little uncomfortable, cooper’s face is turned away. 

“don’t stress over it, you’ll see soon enough.”

sp//dr tuts, expanding over into a bracelet on your wrist. she wants to say something, and you want to hear. but these… two, are making it hard. she won’t speak in front of them. you really wish she would.

Graffiti Genetics: Why Your DNA Needs a Mural and CRISPR Needs a Spray Can (Because Science Should Look Cool Too)

Alright, sit down and prepare to have your mind blown by what I’m about to say: Street art. Yeah, you know, graffiti—those elaborate doodles on the walls of abandoned buildings, subway cars, and the occasional Taco Bell bathroom door—could, in fact, be the next frontier of science education. But no, I’m not talking about the kind where someone draws a caricature of Elon Musk riding a cyberpunk dragon. I mean real science education. Like CRISPR. Like DNA sequencing. Like that time Spider-Man mutated into some sort of web-slinging man-spider hybrid. Except we’re making it look even cooler with spray cans, and, spoiler alert: nobody’s turning into a bug.

So, why street art? Why not boring PowerPoints with bad clipart or yet another TikTok dance that somehow “explains” quantum physics? BECAUSE, that’s why. Because street art speaks to the people, and by “people,” I mean the folks who wander around cities wondering why the sidewalks smell like regret and three-day-old tacos.

Let me paint you a picture, metaphorically of course, because the last time I picked up a spray can I nearly gassed myself. Imagine walking down the street, and bam!—you see a massive mural of a double helix, except it’s like, glitching. As if Banksy and Charles Darwin had a baby and that baby was high on Red Bull. That’s what street art could do for genetics: it’s loud, it’s rebellious, and most importantly—it’s impossible to ignore. You can scroll past an infographic, but good luck walking past a twenty-foot mural of a CRISPR kit shredding through a strand of DNA like it’s tearing into a double cheeseburger. The question here isn’t “Why street art?” The real question is, “Why haven’t we done this sooner?”

Now, I can already hear you thinking—because your brain screams louder than a 3 AM infomercial—"Wait, but doesn’t graffiti mostly communicate, like, angst and ‘I hate the government’ messages?” Wow. What an astute observation, Gold Star for you. Yes, graffiti does traditionally tackle political and social themes, but I’m sorry to break it to you, science is political. Oh, you thought genetic modification wasn’t controversial? That CRISPR wasn’t debated by people who probably think "gene editing" means blocking someone on Instagram? Please, we need to inject genetic engineering into the same conversations that graffiti has dominated for decades. It’s 2024, and if Banksy isn’t using his spray paint to genetically enhance a tomato, are we even progressing as a society?

Street art, folks, is already in the business of communication. And what’s a more pressing message to get out there than, “Hey, here’s how to alter your DNA to make your cat have wings?” Okay, maybe not that, but real genetic modification is so much cooler than what you’re imagining. CRISPR isn’t just some sci-fi jargon—it’s a real tool that scientists use to, you know, edit genes, like Photoshop, but for your DNA. And let me tell you, nothing says "public engagement" like spray painting “Hey, wanna grow a third arm? Let’s talk CRISPR!” on the side of a McDonald’s dumpster. Because if you want to get a conversation going, you need the boldness of graffiti, not some stodgy research paper buried in a journal nobody’s reading except your high school biology teacher.

Now, picture this: a massive street art installation where the base image is a giant strand of DNA, and each part of the mural represents different genetic modifications we could achieve with CRISPR technology. Over here, you’ve got cells that are glowing in the dark, like something out of a bad ‘90s sci-fi flick. Over there, you’ve got a CRISPR-edited cow that gives lactose-free milk that tastes like cotton candy. Why not throw in a gene-edited hamster that knows how to do your taxes? The mural’s evolving, constantly. It’s public, it’s interactive, and it makes people stop and think, “Wow, maybe that cow could save me from paying for almond milk.”

Think of it like this: Street art makes genetics sexy. And let’s be real, genetic modification has the PR of a soggy toaster at the moment. People either think it’s going to cure all diseases or it’s going to turn them into a half-human, half-zebra nightmare straight out of a TikTok conspiracy theory. And while half-human zebras are arguably hilarious, the real issue here is that nobody understands how accessible and—dare I say—simple genetic modification can be. We need to bring the lessons of genetics out of the lab and into the streets. Quite literally. Throw it up on the walls next to that giant mural of Cardi B, because that’s where the real conversations are happening. You think people are engaging in ethical debates about genetic cloning in stuffy boardrooms? Nope. They’re doing it in Instagram comment sections and weirdly aggressive Twitter threads. It’s time we meet the public where they are: right next to the Dunkin’ Donuts, snapping selfies with a graffiti clone of themselves.

And let’s talk about the ethics of it all. Because what’s graffiti without a little bit of controversy, am I right? Genetic modification and CRISPR come with all kinds of ethical questions, and what better way to get people to think about them than to literally make them part of the art? Imagine a mural where you’ve got a giant CRISPR-edited tomato, but as you walk past it, the image warps into a glowing-eyed, mutant fruit that looks like it’s ready to start an uprising. Below it, the words: “Would you eat this?” People will stop, people will think, people will immediately Google, “Is my food going to kill me?”

And boom! You’ve got a conversation started. That’s the power of street art. It doesn’t politely ask for your attention; it kicks down the door, takes over your Instagram feed, and forces you to contemplate whether we should be messing with the building blocks of life. This is science education with art, and it’s turning graffiti into the rebellious older sibling of the whiteboard presentation you fell asleep during in high school. You’re welcome, by the way.

Look, if you want people to care about science—really care—then you need to go where the people are, and that’s out in the streets. Street art has the power to make genetic modification feel accessible, immediate, and yes, kind of cool. Like, imagine a mural where Spider-Man, instead of being bitten by a radioactive spider, is tweaking his DNA with a CRISPR kit he bought off Etsy. It’s absurd, it’s hilarious, but it gets people thinking about genetics in a way that feels real. Not just in the abstract, “this could change your life one day” sense, but in the “wow, this might actually happen, and I’m kind of excited/terrified” sense.

So, to sum it all up before I pass out from sheer excitement: Graffiti and genetics are a match made in science-education heaven. It’s time to take CRISPR out of the lab and spray it all over the walls. We need to make gene editing as bold and in-your-face as a mural of a giant mutated hamster, and if that means you’re forced to contemplate your genetic makeup while standing next to a Taco Bell, then so be it. We’re not just teaching science; we’re living it—one spray-painted DNA strand at a time.

And if you don’t get that, well, I can’t help you.

AI and Web3 jointly build the future digital economic infrastructure, and 3W.com creates new financial technology application scenarios

Once upon a time, the “awakening” of artificial intelligence to fight against mankind was a vigilant idea based on optimism about the supremacy of human civilization. However, recently, a piece of news that “ChatGPT deceives mankind” has covered the Internet media and major social platforms. With ChatGPT, the hottest generative AI robot in the world, as the protagonist of the latest story, this “strange news” has indeed brought the battle between AI and humans to the forefront again.

In fact, since the birth of artificial intelligence technology (or concept, school, etc.), the traditional world’s focus on the relationship between AI and humans has long gone beyond the original differences between “assist” and “empowerment”. The benefit is that the fear and discomfort with the emerging “productivity killer” have gradually led to a subtle relationship marked by “game” and “balance” between the two.

So much so that for decades, the stories of “AI replacing humans” and “robots ruling the earth” have been enthusiastically previewed in literature, film and television works, and even in the real world, the “ultimate battle between artificial intelligence and humans” has also become a new phenomenon. The lingering worries of the times have been exaggerated into the sound of alarm bells and chants in turn.

However, the continuous iterative development of AI seems to have become an inevitable historical trend nowadays. Before 2022, the development of AI technology can be said to be relatively stable, but the emergence of ChatGPT has completely changed this situation. The AI large language model has revealed Amazing the world with its capabilities, AIGC has set off a development craze for new artificial intelligence tracks around the world. AI has begun to “invade” the human world more deeply through new application scenarios and penetrate into daily life.

Since its launch on November 30, 2022, ChatGPT has gone through several version iterations, from a web application that can only process text information to a super application that can process text, voice, and image information at the same time, attracting thousands of users every week. Used by billions of people. After ChatGPT was launched, almost all the world’s major technology companies released their own large language models. It can be said that the birth of ChatGPT has changed the research, development and application ecology of AI. Global users have begun to be able to use richer and more accessible application products and Experience and feel the huge changes in productivity brought about by the development of artificial intelligence in service scenarios.

What changes might breakthroughs in generative AI bring?

From a technical perspective, generative AI is a machine learning algorithm that can generate new data from training data, including: tabular data/structured data, media data such as images, videos, and voices, and text data.

Al pre-trained large models are infrastructure. On this basis, scenario-based, customized and personalized small models can be quickly extracted to achieve industrial pipeline-style deployment in different industries, vertical fields, and functional scenarios, while also being used on demand. , the advantages of high efficiency and economy. As the AIGC model with both large models and multi-modal models accelerates to become a new technology platform, Model-as-a-Service (Maas) begins to become a reality and is expected to have a huge impact on the business field.

Currently known generative AI technology based on multi-modal large models can currently achieve the following functions:

1. Automatic data/content generation. Large language models and image generation models can support prompt word (prompt) input to automatically generate data/content; 2. Improve content quality: AI-generated content may be of higher quality than content created by humans because AI models are able to learn from large amounts of data and identify patterns that humans may not see; 3. Increase content diversity: The AIGC model can generate multiple types of content, including text, images, audio and video, 3D content, and more.

Exploring application innovation, generative AI is injecting new productivity into financial technology

After the release of GPT-4, multi-modal generative AI technology has once again become a cutting-edge technology hotspot that the technology and industry circles are paying attention to. In 2022, Gartner, an American information technology research and analysis company, ranked generative AI as the first of the three hot technology trends in the banking and investment services industry. Generative AI-related technologies such as generative adversarial networks (GAN) and natural language generation (NLG) It has been used in areas such as fraud detection, transaction prediction and risk factor modeling.

With the release of ChatGPT and GPT-4 by OpenAl in 2023, application exploration in all walks of life continues to advance. The financial industry with a large amount of data accumulation and technical reserves will be the main beneficiary of generative Al.

Fundamentally, generative AI reduces the money and time required to generate content across text, code, audio images, videos, and combinations thereof, allowing businesses to produce more content quickly and at scale, thereby increasing productivity. and profitability.

For the financial industry, since generative AI technology is still in continuous iterative development, the application of related financial scenarios is still being explored. The earliest industries to adopt generative AI technology are concentrated in industries such as graphics and art, games, marketing and sales, but generative AI can also become a key factor in revolutionizing financial services and increase productivity by more than 10 times.

AI and Web3 jointly build the future digital economic infrastructure, and 3W.com creates new financial technology application scenarios

With the popularization of large AI models, we have seen significant improvements in efficiency in areas such as office work, entertainment creation, and scientific research. Looking to the future, as the development of emerging technologies such as AI and quantum computing drives the productivity of human society to increase, the threshold for ordinary people to create professional creations will be lowered, and the data produced by individuals on the Internet will become one of the most important production factors in the digital economy era. one.

How to confirm, transfer, realize and distribute income of personal digital assets will become one of the major issues facing the digital economy era. Web3 uses blockchain as the underlying value distribution system to store data, exchange value and record transactions through shared ledgers. Activities to optimize trust and distribution mechanisms in the digital era may, together with AI, become an important infrastructure in the future digital economy era.

3W.com Group is a holding group company focusing on the development and application of global cutting-edge technologies represented by AI and Web3 technologies.
