#(( it helps when it has such a physical and instant result in your life that you have to plan around

(( Merfolk don’t actually use the Gregorian Calendar. I still have yet to work out exactly what their different calendars are like and how specifically they keep time, but I do know most of their calendars would be lunar instead of solar. It’s easier and more practical for most merfolk to arrange their lives around the phases of the moon and, thus, the tides, so the sun is a much less significant entity for timekeeping for them.

So — for Miranda, this actually isn’t the start of the New Year! Though, because her friends do use the Gregorian Calendar and she’s familiar with it for the ambassador work that she does, she nonetheless knows the landfolk considers this their New Year and that it’s significant for them.

Imagine you're a 400+ century old witch and you somehow end up falling in love with the female embodiment of death, who then has to take your son's soul after he dies, which results in you hating her. Now, you're trying to get your power back, and after years, and i mean YEARS, of not seeing her, she comes along the journey to help you and your coven get to the end of a death mission. You know what she is, you know why you don't like her, but you also know that beyond that you can never hate her. She's the only woman you've truly ever loved, and just her touch can drive you crazy. You spend each day thinking of and yearning for her, and then when the teenager you've taken under your wing almost dies, you plead with her not to take him. She does this for you, she doesn't take him, just for you. And in a campfire circle surrounded by your newfound family, she tells them all of a woman she once loved, who she is physically and emotionally pained by everyday, knowing that she hurt this woman more than she can ever explain, and more than anyone can ever imagine. She says this woman is her scar, a mark of failure and devastation she has to carry with her for the rest of her life. This woman is you. You leave to breathe, knowing it was you, knowing that just the simple word "loved" coming out of her mouth when she was talking about you made every bone in your body ache for her. She follows you, puts her hand on your back, and you can't help but to pull her in for a hug, it feels like heaven, like you're soaring above the sky with nothing else in the world but the two of you, and you realize you haven't felt the gentle touch of this woman since what happened. In your moment of longing and desperation, you cup her face, and you pull her in for a kiss, not only inches apart, but centimeters. A single breath holds her apart from you, and all those feelings you have for her rush back to you in an instant. She embraces it, but pulls back at the very moment. She knows you are vulnerable, she knows you're in pain, she knows you're not ready to feel her again. So she says your name, and she looks at you the way she always has. She didn't have to say it for you to know she loves you, and you weren't sure if her reluctance made you love her or long for her more, or both.

Aftercare with Gojo where he focuses on kissing life back into your limbs after a particularly rough session with him.

He showers with you. No round two, no sexually stimulating touches, just him being as soft and delicate with you as he can. Satoru spends a lot of time reassuring you as he scrubs your body, telling you that you're just as pretty as you were before, even with all these marks on your skin, but, regardless of his words, he keeps scrubbing your skin, as if trying to bring back some of the purity it had before things got animalistic.

He requests that you stay as light in clothing as possible because he will be examining your body. Normally, you just stay in your underwear and a bra because with these examinations comes Gojo checking every inch of your skin. You get to lay back and relax while he thoroughly goes down your body, massaging your tender muscles and overall rehabilitating you.

He brushes his fingers against the dark marks on your neck and your chest, feeling the love that went into putting them on you to begin with. As his eyes trail down the rest of your hickey-littered, unobserved body, he realizes he loves you so much that it's taken a physical form on your skin.

You are not the only one who leaves scratches behind. Satoru does, too. He looks at your ribs, inhaling at the sight of four red, long streaks that trail from your ribs on each side, to where he can no longer see, on your back. He leans down and kisses the bright lines, like doing so would heal you in an instant. He does the same for the nail indentations he left behind on your waist and on your hips, kissing the aftermath of being so driven with pleasure that he had to take it out on your beautiful skin. He finishes up massaging your lower body. Your thighs, which were also bruised by his lips, your knees which had rug burns on them, and a thrown in ankle massage for the harsh grip he had on it before.

You feel like you're in another place when Satoru looks after you this way. Almost 90% of the times he does this, you fall asleep when he has you flip over to examine your back. This was one of those times when his touch felt so heavenly and light against your skin that you couldn't help but rest your eyes, resulting in your slumber.

Satoru's hands run down the expanse of your back. He undoes the clasp of your bra, not able to see the point where his scratches end until the material is moved. It's expected for you to leave these red trails behind on him, but he's in shock at the ones he left on you this time. He traces the lines, the slightly swollen skin warm to the touch, and his revitalizing kisses return to soothe the sting.

Satoru can see choppy patterns of his nail indentations on your lower back, a warm hand rubbing them to try to make them fade. He can hear your soft, rhythmic breathing now, a soft smile drawn on his features. He rubs little pressurized circles into your calves, watching you to make sure he's not pressing too hard. He ends the examination with some finishing touches on your achilles tendons and your heels.

"Baby," Satoru coos, laying on his side, facing you. You're still laying on your stomach, little puffs of air escaping your slightly parted lips. His fingers trail down your spine, past the undone clasps of your bra. "Baby..." he tries again, this time running a thumb across your shiny, saliva coated bottom lip.

"Mm..." you hum, not opening your eyes.

"You okay?" He asks his hand playing with your damp hair, softly.

"Mhm," you nonverbally confirm.

"Okay," he finishes. He turns his lamp off and scoots closer to you, his arm and leg draping over you like a makeshift blanket.

I was wondering if u could do these headcannons? Baji and kazutora with a gf that has a more mellow personality, is soft-spoken (like reallllyyyyyy soft-spoken it's like she's almost whispering but when she needs to get stuff done she gets stuff DONE🗣️) and is almost never smiling, sort of like a resting face 24/7

Idk I think it's funny if u see a raging delinquent and next to him is his gf who looks and acts like she'd never hurt a fly

๑-context: soft spoken s/o

๑-featuring: kazutora, baji

°- Kazutora Hanemiya

• to other people he may seem hard to handle, a little too rough with sharp corners, and overall a handful. however that's far from the truth with you, you bring out the best of him due to your calm demeanor making him to be completely tame, kept in line and be the opposite of what others see in him. however not everyone knows of that side of him so comparing the two of you is an ongoing thing.

• he never knew he needed someone like you until now, and neither did anyone expect kazutora to get a girlfriend as cute and sweet as you are. it's like putting a tiger and a mouse next to each other. most were expecting a break up soon enough but that 'soon' hasn't happened nor do you both seem to show any signs which made people to surface up some false information

• you're always someone that he can go to for advice due to your sweet heart and overtime your positivity has grown onto him that he has tried to think the same way you do, but no matter how hard he tries there's always something else whispering in his ear that isn't you, leading to him needing your shoulder to lean on and give him those certain steps. sure he was quite hesitant on asking for help at the start but overtime he's overcame that and instead is now gotten into a habit of asking for help all the time.

• if it's not already obvious, you're a safe space for him. physically he gets tired easily when you two are relaxed together but that's not cause of him being bored but rather it's cause you give that warm comfort of security for him which makes him all eepy.

• when you're together he tends to keep his gang life separate with you, he tries to be more mannered and patient around you and doesn't do anything reckless even in public (even tho everyone manages to still get his temper up) the most he tends to do that gets you somewhat involved is when he's talking about his day that happens to includes his delinquency or if he gets an injury and you help patch him up, but other than that your out of the dangerous picture.

• he's noticed you not smile all that much and sure it sometimes makes him secretly question if you're getting bored of him which results him in being a little distant almost as if to protect himself from getting hurt by you, but that all quickly stops in the end when he remembers that even when you both first met you didn't seem to be full of smiles which then makes him to come back to you in an instant and lie about why be was absent, he didn't want to say the truth.

• but he tends to smile for you in your place. if you're sharing some good news then he'll smile on your behalf, when you're complimented by someone he also smiles and he even does a little look over at you, however after that look over at you he then looks at the person and his smile seems to be a little more intimidating than before, but we overlook that, it's the thought that counts.

• your voice is soooooothinnnng, soothing for him and whenever you're both cuddling he starts the most random, long winded conversation or asks you to talk about your recent fixation that way he gets to feel all at ease and his stressed out heart can finally have a feel of relaxation.

• when others found out about you and kazutora, they were a little intimidated to walk past you in case Kazu would take offence to that, and we know that bro can be ruthless over the smallest of things. they'll either ignore you and try their best to avoid you or try and be really nice to you but those don't last long.

°- Keisuke Baji

• with Baji I reckon it's a little different since with his close friends they know what Baji's like therefore they know he can be respectful and possibly be a good boyfriend for someone but it's mostly his other set of behaviours and decisions mixing with yours that get a little questions to surface up, such as how is it still compatible where We've got two complete different personalities?

• when people first saw you and him together they were all shocked, baffled even about how someone like you would want to go for someone like him, I mean are we talking about the Same Baji Keisuke here? the guy that punches random people just cause he's mad and set a car on fire once cause he was hungry? while you're over there next to him with the most sweetest demeanour that seems like you would feel bad about putting a stuffed animal back onto the shelf after you held it in your arms for a few seconds. but hey! opposites can attract.

• you tend to speak softly no matter who with, but Baji only ever has gentle eyes for you. it's obvious to compare how he looks at others with sharp and almost glaring eyes, but with you his eyes gain a certain light that makes them seem less intense. not to mention that Baji had no interest in dating in the first place but when you came around that clearly changed and thats tells everyone a lot about what kind of affect you have on him. you're pretty much like an angle that came down with light.

• he tends to sometimes tease you just to try and see if he can get you to smile, he's noticed how little you do and it's not exactly a bother to him but he still aims to see that smile of yours anyway. even if it means to raise your cheeks with his fingers if that's the only way you'd come close to smiling. though there were a few times when he saw you crack a small smile and Baji's heart stammered in excitement and shock from finally being able to see it.

• when you want stuff done, you certainly get it done. doesn't matter what it is, you don't even ask Baji for any help either and he ends up finding out in his own way. such as reorganizing your room, scooting your table on the other side or switching up your posters and lifting up some heavy stuff to move around, when Baji came over and saw the switch up along with hearing that you didn't get any help he was amazed. more than amazed actually, shows that you have a heck of a lot of determination and not one to be taken lightly.

• if you say something that he may have not heard he takes 2 or 3 seconds to process your words in his mind, that way he doesn't need to ask to repeat yourself but when he does ask you to repeat yourself he asks almost gently aware that you probably get asked to raise your voice a little on a daily basis

• when he does a delinquent act that he probably shouldn't have in front of you he tends to do a little toothy smirk knowing that you'd probably scold him for it afterwards, he can't help but find it amusing when you tell him off, but he also finds it adorable you speaking back to him.

• oh he's protective of you, not in an obsessive sort of way but just as an overall 'touch her and you die' sort of way, he's made sure that his gang members don't come near you so that there's no sort of potential danger for you. and if he finds out that someone has, then he makes sure that there was a good enough reason for that, and if not then a certain action would need to be taken place cause clearly they didn't understand the first time. but with Baji's close friends he's chill with them talking to you, just not too close.

• he's gentle with you as you are gentle with him but when it comes to departing hugs he always does a little tight squeeze at the end

Margaret and Rourke (Part 1)

The reader's mother from Akjan's fic and her orc hubby get their own fic! After her daughter is taken away from her to be married to an orc chieftain she's never met, Margaret worries she'll never see her again. An orc arrives with news of her daughter and promises to help them reunite. Please leave feedback!

Your daughter had been gone for two months already. The count had ripped her from your arms in an instant on the day of her eighteenth birthday and gave you little to no time to say goodbye. You could only hope that she was well and being treated properly wherever she was, but you had no way to know for sure. You were anxious constantly, unaware if she was healthy or fed properly or even alive, but the idea that she could be somewhere out there, safe and happy, was the only comfort you found in your day to day life.

You were in a lot of pain at the moment. Moving around was difficult, and you struggled to complete your normal tasks. The madam had whipped you mercilessly just the day before for the unspeakable crime of passing in front of her when she was in a bad mood. She’d always been unkind to you, but since she discovered that your daughter, Catherine, was indeed the child of the Count, she had become the human embodiment of cruelty, turning the typical punishments she doled out onto you into nothing short of torture. You had no friends to turn to, since everyone in the manor knew you were the Countess’s favorite punching bag, so they would earn themselves no favors by being kind to you. Without Catherine there to lean on anymore, it was becoming harder to endure the beatings. 

As you were working, you saw David, a butler that had been hired recently. His face fell in sympathy as soon as he saw you, likely due to the bruising on your face and the split lip you were sporting. He was one of the few that treated you kindly. 

“Margaret, I’m glad I caught you,” He said. “I need your help.” 

“My help?” You asked. “I’ll do my best. What can I help with?” 

“The master has given me a task in town, but I don’t know my way around quite yet. Could you help me find the…” He consulted a piece of paper in his hand. “The Periwinkle Florist? The master is having guests later this evening and wants new flowers for the foyer and receiving room. Do you know where it is?” 

“Oh, yes, I do,” You told him. “It’s quite far, though. I’m surprised Master wants us to go so far out of the way for fresh flowers.”

“You know how the master is,” David said, rolling his eyes. “He wants what he wants.” 

Margaret laughed nervously. “Yes. Should we go now? It’ll take us at least an hour to get there and an hour back.” 

“That would be best, if we want to return before nightfall,” David agreed. “Are you ready to go as you are?” 

“Oh, I just need to grab my shawl and we can go,” You replied, taking a step toward the servants’ quarters. 

“Best be quick,” He said. “I’ll wait by the rear door.”

Nodding, you quick-stepped back to your tiny closet and grabbed your crocheted shawl, old and repaired many times. Something felt off about the room, like something was missing, but you figured it was just because Catherine was no longer there, so it felt terribly empty. 

You met David, who was carrying a large produce bag, by the back door that led out to the back of the estate, where there were the stables on one side and the tool sheds on the other. Between them was a road used exclusively by the servants into and out of the estate. The two of you set off down it, heading toward the middle ring of the city, where most of the shops were located. 

David was pleasant company, engaging you in light small talk to pass the time. He asked about your daughter, which you were only too happy to talk about, and told you about his wife and son, to whom he was sending all of his money. Hearing him fondly describe his son as a “tiny terror” made you smile. 

Finally, you arrived, but instead of entering the shop, David directed you to the back of the building. Confused, you followed him. Standing there was an orc whittling a small block of wood. He had long, single-braided dark hair and bright eyes, dressed in a simple tunic and trousers, and a rucksack was set against the wall next to him. He was more slender than most orcs you’d ever seen, though he was tall and had tight, strappy muscles on his arms. He looked up as you approached, though he paused momentarily when he saw you, staring and slack-jawed. His eyebrows drew down into a small frown briefly, gone instantly, though you weren’t sure what that was about. The sight of a man you’d never met before, a physically powerful one at that, filled you with no small amount of terror. Being alone with two men who could easily overpower you made you even less comfortable.

“Who…?” You asked, turning to David.

“Don’t be afraid, Ms. Margaret. This is an associate of mine, Rourke,” David said.

“I… I don’t… What are we doing here, David?” You asked him, becoming very worried and starting to back away.

The orc named Rourke approached the two of you slowly as if approaching a skittish animal. 

“Are you Ms. Margaret? Miss Catherine’s mother?” He asked you, and your heart jumped into your throat. Forgetting your fear momentarily, you reached out desperately to clutch his arm.

“Is she alright? Is she safe? Where is she?”  

“She’s fine,” Rourke said reassuringly. “She’s married to the chief of the Willowshield Stronghold and being given the respect she’s due as the chieftain’s wife, so you have no reason to worry. We’re here to take you to her.” 

“Take me… I…” You hesitated and looked backward in the general direction of the Count’s manor, though it wasn’t in view. “We’re leaving now?” 

“Yes, ma’am,” Rourke said. “We have to move quickly. If we don’t leave now, we may not have another chance to leave without the Count knowing. I’m sure he’ll realize it sooner rather than later, but we can get a head start if we leave now.” 

Anxiety welled up in you, present at all times, but vastly more intense at the moment than normal. You’d never been outside of the city before and had no idea what to expect from the outside world, and you didn’t know these men at all nor have any reason to believe or trust them, but… your baby girl was out there. If there was any chance of seeing her again, you would have to place your trust in strangers.

“I didn’t bring my things,” You replied weakly. 

David reached into the large bag he’d brought with him and wrestled out a second smaller bag, which you recognized as your own carpet bag, where you kept your meager treasures. You had bought it ages ago when you first tried to leave the manor, but finding out you were with child had stopped you. As bad as the manor was, even though you were paid pennies, you were still paid. You were fed. There was a bed underneath you and a roof overhead. And… you didn’t know where else you could have gone, anyway. You had been there all your life.

Now… you had that chance. The chance to run. 

Looking up at the two men, tears of both fear and hope filling your eyes, and you nodded. 

“Alright.” 

The three of you managed to get out of the city wall before nightfall, but were forced to camp outside mere feet from it. The two men had set up a small but charming tent for you to use, though they themselves would be sleeping outside. As they went about setting up the camp, building the fire, and cooking an evening meal, you sat there for the first time with nothing in your hands, unsure of what to do. 

“Can I help with something?” You asked them. 

Rourke smiled at you kindly. “No, Ms. Margaret, we’ve got it well in hand. You rest your bones for a little while. We’ll take care of this.” 

Sitting still felt unnatural, but you sat and watched them bustle around. As David stirred the pot over the fire, Rourke retrieved a jar from his bags and came close. You resisted the urge to back away. 

“May I sit with you, Ms. Margaret?” He asked. When you nodded, he sat on an upturned log next to you. “This is an ointment our stronghold’s medicine woman made. It’s magic on bruises. Would you mind if I applied a little? That black eye looks nasty.”

“Oh,” You said, looking down to hide behind your hair a little. “Yes, alright.” 

“Look up for me, Ms. Margaret,” He said gently. 

Carefully, he pulled your hair away from your face and tucked it behind your ears. You looked up, surprised by how close he was. This close, you could see he had the prettiest deep brown eyes, glittering like stars in the flickering firelight. They were the same color as clean tilled earth, or savory soup that nourishes the body and soul, or a warm blanket of wool that keeps out the winter chill. They reminded you of every comforting thing you’d ever experienced in your lifetime. You found yourself blushing as those thoughts filled your head, trying to put them out of mind.

“I’m surprised you have a grown child, Ms. Margaret,” Rourke said. You assumed he was attempting to make small talk. 

“Why’s that?” 

“You look far too young. How old are you, if I might ask?” 

“Don’t you know it’s rude to ask a woman her age?”

“Is it?” He asked, tilting his head. “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize. That’s not something orc women care about. In fact, orc women like to brag about their age. Each year they live is a year they beat death. As much as we cherish the idea of dying honorably in battle, we also really like bragging.” 

You laughed. “I’m thirty-three.” 

“So young!” He said. “You were still just a girl when Mis Catherine was born, eh?” 

Your smile faded. “Fifteen, yes.” 

He clicked his tongue. “Far too young. I’m amazed you were able to raise a babe when you were hardly more than a babe yourself.” 

��Why, how old are you?” 

“Fifty-two.” 

You pulled back to look at his face. “You're one to talk about not looking one’s age! You barely look out of your thirties! I can’t believe you’re almost twenty years older than I am.” 

He laughed. “Well, thank you for the compliment. My daughter complains that we look much more like siblings than parent and child, but I don’t know if that’s a compliment for me or self-deprecation for her.” 

“You have a daughter?” 

“Oh, yes,” Rourke said. “Just about the same age as Miss Catherine, in fact. She’s my pride and joy. Lost her mother when she was young, so it’s just been me and her ever since then.” 

“I’m sorry to hear that.” 

“It’s alright, Ms. Margaret. It was long ago now.” 

“Still. You have my sincerest sympathies.” 

“I appreciate it. This is pretty bad, by the way,” Rourke said, wincing in sympathy as he applied the ointment to your eye. “What happened?” 

“Oh, I…” You looked down and away, careful not to tilt your head out of his reach. “I… it… just happened.” 

He paused momentarily before continuing, regarding you soberly. 

“Does it ‘just happen’ often?” He asked softly.

“I… I’m a poor worker,” You said quietly. “I’m too slow and lazy, so… I require more… correction than the others do.”

He spread a little of the ointment on the split in your lip, his touch feather soft, before he sat back and gazed at you.

“I can’t claim you know you or your work ethic, Ms. Margaret,” He said. “But no one deserves this kind of punishment. That I do know.” 

You looked down and didn’t respond. 

Rourke sighed. “Do you know how to ride a horse?” 

You looked back up at him. “No.” 

“I thought so. We brought two horses with us, two of the fastest in the stronghold, but it seems like you’ll have to ride with one of us. Is that alright?” 

You nodded. “That’s fine. I just want to get back to my baby.” 

“She’s a lucky lady, to have a mother like you,” Rourke said with a smile. “She’ll be happy to see you. It’ll be a nice surprise.” 

“She doesn’t know I’m coming?” You asked. 

Rourke shook his head, his long ears waggling. “The Count tried to make Chief Akjan believe that Miss Catherine was a legitimate daughter of his, but Chief Akjan had a feeling there was more to the story than he was told, so he had us do some investigating.” He motioned at David. “David realized the true story from listening to the manor’s gossip. After observing you and sending word back, Akjan sent me to retrieve David and see if you were willing to make the journey with us. Although…” He glanced at your face again and sighed. “Seeing how bad things are, I shouldn’t have delayed so long. I should have been here sooner. I apologize for that.” Rourke took a bowl from David and handed it to you. “Here. David’s not a great cook, but it’ll be better than twigs, certainly.” 

“I cook better than you, you lout!” David said indignantly.

You couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m sure it’s fine.” 

Well, he hadn’t been lying: the meal was a little rough, basically just jerky boiled in water, but it was filling enough and made you feel warm inside. 

“We should sleep early,” Rourke said, holding his hand out to help you stand. “We’ll be getting up before dawn to go pick up the horses and start toward the stronghold.” 

“You didn’t have to put up a tent for me, I can sleep on the ground,” You told him, looking inside. It was just a bedroll on top of a riding blanket, but it looked charming and comfortable. 

“Nonsense!” Rourke said. “I’d never made a lady sleep on the cold, hard ground! No, no, you get in there and get comfy, I’ll be right outside keeping watch. Get yourself some rest, Ms. Margaret. Goodnight.” 

Ducking into the tent, you laid your tired body down on the bed and covered yourself, the aches in your body intensifying as you tried to relax. Once he saw that you were in the bed and down for the night, Rourke stationed himself at the mouth of the tent, his back to you, having a muted conversation with David that you couldn’t make sense of. Despite being outside of the city walls for the first time in your life and headed toward an uncertain future, seeing Rourke’s back blocking out the dangers of the world made you feel a strange sense of security. Almost immediately, you fell asleep. 

They managed to make a trip that would normally take two weeks in a mere five days. They rode pretty hard for the first few days, though Margaret needed several breaks throughout the days in order to recover, since horse riding when you weren’t used to it could be quite punishing on the body. She was eternally grateful for that bruise ointment, which Rourke had gifted her.

Margaret rode with Rourke for most of the trip, since his horse was larger, but being in close proximity with men made her wildly uncomfortable. She simply had to swallow down her discomfort to make it to the end. 

For Catherine, She kept telling herself. I can do it for Catherine.

They eventually arrived in a town bustling with activity. It wasn’t anywhere close to being as busy as the city, but it was more lively and less noisy. Riding straight up the middle lane, they reached a tall wall made of wooden pikes and a large gate with sentries patrolling the top. 

“Here we are,” Rouke said. “Welcome to the Willowshield stronghold.” 

“Catherine is inside?” You asked.

“Yes, ma’am,” Rourke replied. “She’s just inside.” 

Hope and expectation welled up in your chest. “She’s just inside,” You repeated softly. 

Rourke chuckled a little, his breath stirring your hair. “Not long now.”

The doors of the gate opened slowly, and the interior of the stronghold revealed itself. There were cottages dotting the landscape, with two long bunkhouses to the left and right, a large building at the top of the hill, and in the very center right beyond the gates, a longhouse that seemed to serve as a town hall. The stronghold was just as bustling as the town outside, and despite being a closed community, it was far more inviting than any place you’d been yet. 

“We must report in to Chief Akjan,” Rourke said as he jumped down from the horse. He reached up to help you down, and then handed off the reins of the horse to a waiting horseboy. You were surprised that orcs had horseboys. “But you’ll be able to see your little girl right after.” 

You nodded and allowed Rourke to lead you into the longhouse. There, a large orc sat in the chair in the center of the room at the end of the fire trench. He wore a leather kilt, furs on his shoulders, and various leather straps. He was talking to David, who walked right up to an orc woman with a baby on her hip and gave her a long, deep kiss. You blushed.  

“Chief Akjan,” Rourke said. “She’s here.” 

“Ah, good,” Chief Akjan said, standing up and towering over you. Where Rourke was tall and lean as a whip, Chief Akjan was broad and massively muscled. “Are you Margaret?” 

You tried to answer, but your voice came out as a squeak. Clearing your throat, you replied, “Yes, I am.” 

Chief Akjan nodded. “Good. I’m glad you’re here. Catherine will be happy to see you.” 

“If you’ll pardon me, Sir,” You asked him shyly. “You’re the one married to Catherine, aren’t you?” 

Chief Akjan shrugged. “Yes and no,” He replied. “We have a contract, but it can be revoked at any moment. She’s under no obligation to stay with me, nor am I beholden to her. We may part ways as friends whenever we wish.” 

Your head rocked back in surprise; you’d never heard of an arrangement like that before. 

“Is she well?” 

“Better than she was at the Count’s estate, I’d wager,” He said, snorting, but upon seeing your anxious face, he answered more seriously. “She’s just fine, ma’am. We’ve been taking good care of her, I swear to you. Shall I fetch her for you?” 

“Oh, please do,” You begged. “I’m so anxious to see her.” 

“I’ll return shortly, then. Wait here.” 

Chief Akjan turned and exited through a side door, and you rung your hands in anticipation, resisting the urge to bounce on your heels like a child. 

“Excited?” Rourke asked, smiling. 

“I just want to be sure she’s alright,” You said. “I can endure anything if my child is happy.” 

Rourke’s smile widened in a fond way. “You’re a good mama.” 

You blushed and looked away. 

“Hopefully, you won’t have to endure anything from now on,” Rourke said, pointing. “Look alive.” 

“Mother!” 

You spun on your heel, elated. Catherine was standing there, looking healthier and brighter than you had ever seen her, wearing simple but well-made clothing, and every ounce of anxiety in your body evaporated. 

“My baby!” You exclaimed, running forward to throw your arms around her. “Oh, my darling, I’m so sorry!” 

She clutched you, quietly crying into your hair. Oh, you had missed her so.

“It’s alright, Mother. Are you alright?” She asked, pulling back to look at the fading bruises on your face. They were almost gone, but the presence of them surely made Catherine feel worried. You could see it on her face.

“I’m fine, honey, I’m just fine,” You insisted. “David and Rourke have been taking good care of me.”

She released you and looked at the men you had pointed to. “They have? What do you mean? How did you get here?”

“I sent them to collect her,” Akjan said, stepping forward. “I had a feeling there was more to the story that you and the Count hadn't told me, so I sent David to do some reconnaissance. It didn’t take long for the full story to reveal itself, so I sent Rourke to retrieve her. Problem solved.”

Catherine’s face showed worry, relief, and a little bit of disappointment. “Thank you, Akjan. I will be in your debt for as long as I live. Are you going to send us to Willowridge?”

He shook his head grimly, crossing his arms. “No. We know that the Count must be aware that your mother has disappeared by now and may have guessed the stronghold’s involvement. Our intelligence suggests he’s gathering soldiers to march on Willowshield to either get his horse deal or take you and your mother back. It’ll be safer for you and your mother to stay within the walls of the stronghold.”

Catherine’s hand went to her mouth in shock. “Oh, god. I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize the Count would cause this much trouble for you.”

Akjan shrugged, as though an invasion by a noble was no cause for concern.

“We’ve been attacked for far less. Don’t worry, it won’t be an issue.” He addressed you directly. “Welcome to Willowshield, madam.”

You bowed your head and nodded shyly. “Thank you very much, Chief Akjan.”

"Rourke, have the girls show Ms. Margaret to the bunkhouse."

Rourke nodded. “This way, Ms. Margaret. Miss Catherine will join you shortly. She and the Chief need to have a heart to heart.” He began guiding you toward the back door and outside.

“Is she in trouble?” You asked fretfully, allowing yourself to be led.

“Not at all! Just some husband and wife business, that’s all. Never you worry.” 

You weren’t sure about that, but you had no choice but to believe him. Rourke had been positively enthusiastic since the moment you met him, upfront and honest and the picture of gentlemanly chivalry. His open and friendly nature had gotten past your inner defenses, and you’d go so far as to consider him something of a friend. David was good natured and friendly as well, but you’d never felt as close to him as you ended up feeling to Rourke. There was just something about Rourke that wouldn’t allow you to ignore him.

Rourke led you to a communal pavilion where there were several women doing fiber arts, weaving and spinning and knitting. One of them, a tall woman in trousers, stood up and came close. 

“Ms. Margaret, this is Erin, Chief Akjan’s sister-in-law,” He said. “She’ll take care of you until Miss Catherine finishes up with the chief.” 

“Ah, you’re Miss Catherine’s mama!” Erin said, holding out her hand. “So good to meet you! We’ve been waiting for you.” 

You took her hand and shook it. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Erin.” 

“Oh, she’s just like Miss Catherine,” Erin said. “Shy and sweet. They’ll love you around here.” 

“Hey!” Rourke said in a warning tone. Erin raised an eyebrow at him but didn’t respond. Clearing his throat, Rourke turned to you. “I have to give a debrief to the chief and report to my superior now. If you should ever need me for anything, my normal job is as a gate guard, so if you go down to the gate and ask for me, I’ll be at your disposal. Any time. Alright?” 

You nodded. “Alright.” 

He seemed reluctant to leave, but he started walking backwards. 

“Until then.” 

You smiled. “Until then.” 

With a bright parting grin, he turned and trotted off, his long braid swinging back and forth. 

“My goodness,” Erin said. “You and Miss Catherine certainly have a way about you, don’t you?” 

You tilted your head in confusion. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand.” 

Erin shook her head and laughed. “It’s nothing. Let’s get you set up with a bunk. Things are about to get… busy soon.” 

The way she phrased that made you feel a little tense, but she pulled you forward to meet the other women in the group, all of whom were welcoming and kind. Erin took you up to the bunkhouse, where you claimed two beds, one for you and one for Catherine. Erin informed you that, now that you had arrived and the Count had nothing to hold over her, Chief Akjan and Catherine no longer needed to keep up appearances and the marriage would be dissolved. Worried, you asked if that meant that she’d be kicked out, but Erin assured you that wasn’t the case. 

“The chief wouldn’t do that,” Erin said. She leaned in and whispered, “Between you and me, Akjan likes her too much to send her away. My prediction is that they won’t be apart for long.” 

“Oh,” You said, surprised. 

Erin laughed. “Come on, she’d be done with the chief now, let’s collect her and catch up. I’m sure she’s dying to tell you everything.” 

Allowing yourself to be dragged back to the pavilion, you saw Catherine standing there, looking around for you, and smiled. For the first time in your life, you felt like you were right where you were meant to be.

[jinxificada]

WHATS UP FUCKERS its me your friendly neighborhood rizzler, skibidi anon! Back for some vamp!jinx action! I saw that ask honey, yall rlly had to mention me huh? Heh. One at a time ladies....

Okay picture this, silco as dracula and jinx as mavis, BUT. To this more into the arcane plot ill just put here that jinx was human before when she was still with vi, some kind of experiment happened that changed jinx into a vampire (where singed comes in) this is more of a LOL!jinx lore than arcane. After that incident vi couldnt recognize her sister anymore when jinx killed both mylo and claggor in under the haze of being hungry (she just escaped from singed) and vi abandons her (now this time litterally, but she regretted it now since that resulted to many deaths because she let jinx get away) now that jinx is alone, silco, although human, took her in because he sympathized with her situation (and that he wanted a vampire in his side too). Now she works for silco, helping him recruit other vampires. Sevika here is an undercover vamp hunter while caitlyn is a vampire hunter, vi got thrown into prison because she got accused of mylo and claggors death (she cant escape the prison arc i fear). How you and jinx met varies if youre a human or a vampire

Human: jinx wouldnt approach any human she has no business with because of how fragile they are (trauma) so i think you barged into their castle as a vigilante, not a vamp hunter, youre in search for silco for revenge because when he attacked the town with his vamp mobs, you parents/family/friend was killed along with your neigborhood. As silcos most loyal servant jinx shoukd have neutralized you in an instant but didnt as she also sympathized with you with your situation (youre both alone now.) So she spares your life, knocks you out and brings you back to the village. She gives you a warning to never come back to the castle. But ever since that moment you feel like something is wtching your evey movement (def not her).

Vampire: oh boy, she tried to recruit you and join silcos gang to try and overthrow the vamp hunters, but you dont budge, youre so- unrecruitable.....she tries many ways, being friends with you, physically kidnapping you, even seducing you lmfao, but youre just that girl! She was so frustrated but your guys interactions became a constant in her daily lives to the point you just hang out now while she slips in some "can you join us"'s in the mix (you alwys say no). (silco doesnt know this, that comes into play later).

WHAT DO YALL THINK🙏🙏🙏⁉️⁉️⁉️‼️‼️ SKIBIDI FLUSHED🚽🚽

vamp!jinx obviously had to have a sad backstory 😞😞 i need to give her a hug

im kinda hooked with human!reader being stalked by vamp!jinx….. imagine reader slowly going insane, seeing shadows in every corner and living on edge fearing that one of silco’s goons will come back to kill her. BUT she still thinks about the kindness of the pretty vampire that brought her home safe and sound ahhh.

now vamp!reader and vamp!jinx sounds like a mess 😭😭 hunting down humans date idea ig?? 🔥

[lxstfuleclipse]

HIIII can i request general luis hcs… sfw and nsfw if possible… i love him so much omg

【 luis sera headcanons 】

【 content warning!! gn!reader, flirting, kissing and mentions of, intimate touching + mutual pining, innuendos. choking mentions, and other nsfw stuff under the cut!! enjoy! 】

SFW HC.

You were Leon’s best friend along with being partners on the mission to rescue the president’s daughter: Ashley Graham.

Meeting Luis was.. an adventure, to say the least. You weren’t quite sure of his intentions at first nor what exactly his role was in everything, but he did have a way with words.

“Oh? I didn’t think an angel would come to my rescue. I must already be in heaven.” - The first thing to come out of his big mouth after you ripped off the tape, which also made Leon roll his eyes as you felt the heat rise in your cheeks.

Speaking of big mouth, he never shuts up about you. You’ve somehow captured his heart and wanted yours in return.

He loves to make you flustered, especially when he catches you off guard with his flirting. Not only does it feed his little ego, but he just loves how shy you get when you try to laugh it off and playfully shove him.

THAT. SMIRK. enough to make your stomach do cartwheels, and if he were to look you up and down WHILE SMIRKING?? instant puddle, you no longer have a physical body.

When you have the courage to start returning the favor, he’s SHOOK.

“How beautiful you are, amor. If we weren’t within the throes of danger, I’d make the night much more.. enjoyable.��

“Oh, really? Then you wouldn’t mind giving me a thorough demonstration right? Just a little taste then?”

LUIS.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING.

His jaw is on the floor, eyes wide, and heart POUNDING. You’ve done it, you’ve started the war.

There was one time where you watched him play around with that lighter, flicking it back and forth between his fingers. You’d see a small flame before he’d click it closed, repeating the process.

You never knew it, but he knew you were watching. That smirk tugging at the corner of his lips as he chuckled.

“Like what you see, eh? I can do more with my hands than silly tricks, tesoro.”

“Oh, yeah? Would they make a good necklace?” You respond, a smirk on your face as you giggle, skipping down the trail as he stands absolutely SHOCKED.

He’s stuttering, cheeks hot as hell as he tries to laugh it off but he just can’t help but be more drawn to you now.

He loves it when you laugh at his jokes, or listen so closely to his outlandish stories. He just loves your attention and company, your smiles and laughter are his sweet reward.

He’s probably a stoner-

He’s such a gentleman too, like chivalry has NEVER died for this man. He opens doors for you, pulls out your chair, gives you flowers randomly, etc. He’s just BOYFRIEND.

“Ah, ah. Please, allow me.” He says, helping you get into or out of anything.

He likes keeping you close, it makes him feel happier when he knows you’re safe. His hand is always set low on your hip, or on your lower back.

He’s a morning person, ripping open curtains and laughing when you hiss from the sudden blast of light entering the room. But, when you’ve been really tired from long and exhausting missions, he makes you breakfast in bed and holds you while you both watch tv.

This man is a dancer, he can get DOWN. He’s the life of every party and the night always ends with him drunk off his ass that’s gonna result in the worst hangover in the morning.

I think Luis is a good singer. He hums random little tunes when he’s bored, but absolutely kills karaoke nights.

When you’re down, he always sings to you while you sit in his lap while he holds you so tight. Sometimes, he’ll pick you up and slow dance with you while he sings along to the record.

He loves cooking, he can throw down in the kitchen if he wanted to. You’re always the one to get first bite.

“How does it taste? Good? Perfect. .”

He definitely has his regrets, especially when it came to his involvement in Los Illuminados. He felt like a monster for so long, so many people either dying or succumbing to the parasites invading them. He wishes he could turn back time, but he can’t do anything but atone for his sins.

He’s so happy that you chose him. Every day, he shows you his gratitude and his love. He loves you more than the essence of life, and would do anything for you. You didn’t care for his past, just that you knew he was remorseful of what he’s done. That’s all you need to know that. . he still had a heart. A damn good one too.

NSFW HC.

He’s VOCAL. He always wants you to know how good you’re being for him. He’ll whimper, moan, groan, that man ain’t planning on closing that mouth. . unless you make him.

He loves to dominate you, but also doesn’t mind letting you take the lead.

He’s such a fucking sub when it’s your turn to be in control. He’s always begging for more of your touch, nothing is ever enough. Such a greedy little thing.

You know he’s really into it when he starts to trail in and out of Spanish. But, it makes you melt every time.

He’s a foreplay god, don’t play. He loves to tease, just to hear you start to lose your mind from it.

His hands on your waist, trailing up to gently grip your chest before slowly wrapping one hand around your throat as the other grips at your ass. All while he whispers sweet nothings in your ear, a soft chuckle leaving him when he sees how quickly you fall into subspace.

“Such a desperate little thing, no? It’s cute how easily you give into me. How badly do you want me, bebé?”

Child, you’re in for a RIDE.

He loves it when you mark him. By morning, you’re both covered in hickies and bite marks. He loves to show them off, proud to be yours.

“Oh? These? Heh, you could say I’ve had.. a pretty rough night.” (emphasis on the rough, ya nasty)

He’s a KING at oral, he’s never left anyone unsatisfied and he’s upping his game just for you. He loves eating you out.

His hands gripping your thighs as he keeps your legs spread for him, slurping you up until you’re seeing stars from how good he’s been putting that big mouth to real good use. What drives you really crazy is when he reaches up to wrap his hand around your pretty little neck while drinking up every bit of you, not stopping until he’s had his fill.

Sit on his face and you’re never getting up. He pulls you down for a proper seat, sucking and licking away as he

Loves it when you pull his hair, he lets out the most unholiest of groans. He smirks at you before pressing you against the nearest surface and taking you again.

If you choke him back, he’s gonna become either a whimpering mess or he’ll take it as a challenge, smirking as he grinds his hips harder and deeper into you.

“Oh, it’s like that, huh? I have just the remedy for that…”

He gives those soul- snatching kisses that’ll leave you weak in the knees. He loves leaving you eager for more. Every makeout sessions ends up with you both gasping for air, your lips aching but your body aches harder.

Not a big fan of the hardcore stuff, though he’s willing to try anything once. But, he’ll tie you up and spank you any day. Be a brat if you want to, you’ll find out the hard way.

He also adores just the slow and passionate nights where emotions are high, and all you want is to be together. Your bodies intertwined in a forbidden dance. His hands gripping your own above your head as he rolls his hips into yours, your sounds of pleasure fueling his passion for you.

His aftercare is so comforting. He always checks on you, making sure that he wasn’t being too hard on you or making you ache too bad. He always cleans you up so carefully, knowing how sensitive you are now. He smiles every time you gasp as the damp towel comes into contact with your aching core.

“Sensitive, mi amor? Don’t worry.. I’ll be gentle.” Is he trying to kill you? IS HE??

He holds you into his arms, giving you whatever you need. He tells you how good you were for him, how good you made him feel, and how deeply in love he is with you.

【 REBLOGS ARE APPRECIATED!! 】

[pomellon]

for your dtk+ dragon au, I'd love to know more about sam, ant, and boomer!

I've been working on their designs but I haven't had much time for au art lately ; u ; I also somehow lost Sam's sketch but here's the rough sketches for Ant and Boomer:

Some more info about em all below!

Ant is kind of the flight’s mom friend, mostly since he’s the only nurse other than Bad for a good while. He’s fun and relaxed most of the time, but will snap into a serious no nonsense mood when a situation should call for it. He’s main job is usually that of a medic and mediator, but he also helps Bad pretty much run the flight and organise assignments and missions when needed.

He’s pretty much bonded with everyone but he’s no desire of making any of his wingmates into a talonmate. I would like to include Velvet in this au at some point and have a plot centred around Ant around it, but I am still working out the logistics of it!

Boomer is one of the few dragons in the flight that has a god claim, and got it by bonding with a familiar, a frog/alligator creature that made him a water elemental. Bad has a strong feeling that the bond between Boomer and his familiar could be the key to regaining the attention of the Watcher of Tides to their world, but they’re still not quite sure how.

Boomer is bonded with Bad, Ant, and Punz, and similarly to how Sapnap bonded to Dream very early, Boomer bonded and took an instant liking to Sam. If you’re looking for him one of your best bets would be in Sam’s workshop as Boomer loves helping out the scholar with his projects and experiments. He also has a kind of sibling rivalry with Sapnap, the two hatching around the same time and they would often fight for attention when they were young. Nowadays it’s more of a friendly and competitive rivalry, the two of them often sparring and comparing their guardian strengths. 

Sam used to be small for his age, something that’s common with dragons that have high magic potential. He grew into a guardian out of a sense of duty and need to protect his flight after they were attacked and separated from each other. The same sense of duty led him to research and track down a magic item that granted him a god claim from the Knight of Suns, making him a light elemental. That wasn’t enough however and he soon started figuring out a way to gain more magic, more power to keep his family safe, eventually leading him to become addicted to raw magic.

Addictions like this can be dangerous as they can either lead to high levels of pent up magic, result in a magic blowout that can cause immense destruction, or make the dragon become violent as they start to attack and consume anything that contains magic (including other dragon) to satisfy their growing needs. Sam suffered the former, luckily in a situation where the outburst actually saved him, but it left his magic system weak and damaged. 

Shortly thereafter the flight was reunited again and his strong sense of duty to protect ebbed away with the knowledge that there were other capable guardians around. With this new found sense of safety, and his body no longer fit for fighting or capable of holding much magic, he started to shed most of his guardian scales as he shifted into a scholar instead, growing a lot in over all size. He might no longer be a physical fighter but he now spends his time engineering and crafting items and tools that he and his flight can use to protect themselves and improve their quality of life.

He’s bonded to quite a few dragons within the flight and he’s talonmates with Punz and Dream.

Dog Bite Lawyer in St. Louis and Columbia: How Mutrux Firm Can Help

Dog bites are unfortunate and often traumatic events, leaving victims with not only physical pain but also emotional and financial stress. Thousands of people suffer from dog bites each year, but many of these incidents don’t receive the attention they deserve. Victims often miss out on rightful compensation because they’re unsure of the legal steps to take. If you or someone you love has been harmed in a dog attack, it’s important to understand your rights and act quickly. This is where a knowledgeable dog bite attorney can make a significant difference, guiding you through this difficult time and working to secure the compensation you need.

The Immediate Consequences of a Dog Bite

A dog attack can happen in an instant, often leaving victims feeling confused and uncertain about what to do next. Physical injuries can vary from minor scrapes to deep wounds requiring stitches, surgeries, or even long-term care. For many, especially children, these incidents also leave emotional scars, resulting in anxiety, fear, or disturbed sleep.

Financial hardships often follow, as medical expenses accumulate and some victims are unable to work during recovery. In serious cases, reconstructive procedures may be needed, along with rehabilitation for nerve or muscle damage. Given these challenges, fair compensation is essential for recovery. However, navigating the claims process without legal support can be overwhelming, which is why working with an experienced dog bite attorney is so valuable.

Why Dog Bite Claims Often Don’t Reflect True Costs

Many dog bite victims aren’t fully aware of their rights or may hesitate to pursue a claim, especially if the dog owner is a friend or family member. Unfortunately, this results in many cases going unreported, leaving victims without the support they need to recover their losses.

Even when victims decide to pursue claims, insurance companies often undervalue the costs associated with injuries. Some insurers may offer settlements that cover only a small portion of expenses, leaving victims to handle the rest. These companies often aim to minimize their payouts, assuming victims without legal representation won’t know their rights. Working with a skilled dog bite lawyer ensures that you won’t be left short-changed.

How a Dog Bite Lawyer Can Help You

Partnering with a dog bite attorney gives you a powerful advocate who will protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve. At Mutrux Firm Injury Lawyers, we conduct a comprehensive investigation into the incident, gathering evidence such as witness statements, photographs, and reports from police or animal control. This evidence strengthens your case, helping to establish the responsibility of the dog owner.

Our team also identifies any applicable insurance policies that could cover your damages. While many dog bite claims fall under homeowners’ insurance, not all companies readily acknowledge liability or offer fair settlements. We handle communications with insurers on your behalf, ensuring your claim is treated with the seriousness it warrants.

Mutrux Firm Injury Lawyers understands the full scope of damages in dog bite cases, including:

Immediate and future medical costs

Lost income from time away from work

Physical pain and emotional distress

Lasting scars or disfigurement

Psychological impacts requiring long-term care

Our attorneys will accurately assess your claim’s value to ensure that you’re compensated for all of your damages, not just the initial medical expenses.

Taking the Pressure Off Your Shoulders

Guiding You Through the Legal Process

The legal process after a dog bite may seem overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way. First, we meet with you to discuss the incident, review your medical records, and assess how the injury has impacted your life. From there, we gather evidence to build a solid case, which may include expert opinions, documentation of your recovery, and witness statements. Our team communicates directly with insurance companies, ensuring that your claim receives fair consideration.

If settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, we proceed by filing a lawsuit and preparing for trial. While many cases settle out of court, having an experienced legal team ready to go to trial is critical in securing the compensation you deserve.

Don’t Delay Taking Action

Time is essential in dog bite cases, as there are specific time limits, or statutes of limitations, for filing a personal injury claim. Waiting too long can result in losing your right to seek compensation. Contacting a dog bite attorney as soon as possible after the attack helps protect your rights and increases your chances of obtaining a fair settlement. Whether your injuries are minor or severe, you deserve an advocate committed to securing the compensation you need.

At Mutrux Firm Injury Lawyers, we proudly serve residents in St. Louis, Columbia, and surrounding areas, bringing years of experience and a dedication to achieving positive results. We’ve earned numerous 5-star reviews from clients who appreciate our compassionate support and effective representation in personal injury cases.

Master Time Management

One of the first steps toward increased productivity is effective time management. Renowned publications like Harvard Business Review emphasize that time management is more about big-picture strategic planning rather than just everyday life hacks. It starts with setting clear priorities and understanding the difference between urgent and important tasks.

Here's how to get started:

Begin each week by mapping out major assignments, exams, and other obligations.

Utilize digital calendars and task management tools to keep everything organized.

Avoid multitasking as it can reduce the quality of your work and lead to burnout.

Develop a Study Routine

Studying efficiently is paramount for students who aim to grasp complex economic models and business strategies. Customizing a study plan that fits your learning style can significantly increase your retention and understanding.

Try these tips:

Dedicate specific times of the day to study when you're least likely to be interrupted.

Break down study material into manageable sections to avoid overwhelm.

Use active learning techniques such as teaching concepts to a peer or creating your own exam questions.

Utilize Multiple Choice Question Solvers

For exams, particularly those involving multiple-choice questions, students can benefit from technological advancements such as AI-powered multiple choice questions solvers. These tools can provide practice quizzes and instant feedback, which is essential for mastering the material.

Consider these benefits:

Immediate results help to quickly identify areas where more review is needed.

They resemble real exam formats, aiding in practice under timed conditions.

Some solvers can even offer detailed explanations for answers, enhancing your learning curve.

Enhance Productivity with Tech Tools

In the age of remote learning and digital tools, harnessing technology is vital for staying ahead. Many apps and software are designed to help with note-taking, project management, and collaboration. Our very own College Tools has a range of features that seamlessly integrate with your workflow in any Learning Management System.

Focus on tools that:

Allow for efficient note-taking and information organization.

Enable project collaboration in real-time with peers or instructors.

Offer customization to tailor the functionalities according to your productivity needs.

Balance Work and Leisure

As much as productivity is about working efficiently, it's also about resting effectively. Business and economics students should not underestimate the power of proper rest and leisure activities in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Here's how you can achieve balance:

Schedule breaks and leisure activities just as you would academic tasks.

Engage in activities that are completely unrelated to your studies to give your mind a break.

Practice regular self-care routines to ensure you're mentally and physically well.

Strategies from Industry Leaders

Emulating the productivity tactics of successful business leaders can also be enlightening. Outlets such as Forbes detail various approaches taken by industry professionals which can be adapted to your student life.

Key takeaways include:

Strict prioritization to allocate your best hours to the most critical tasks.

Delegation skills, which in a student context, means seeking help when you're overwhelmed, perhaps in the form of a study group.

Continuous learning and improvement, as productivity is a skill that can always be developed further.

Effective Use of Breaks

According to Lifehack, short breaks can play a significant role in maintaining productivity over long study sessions. Students should take regular breaks to stay focused and rested.

To make the most of your breaks:

Step away from your study area to ensure a change of environment.

Use techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique to structure time periods of focused study and rest.

Engage in activities that are rejuvenating, whether it's a quick walk outside or a brief meditation session.

The journey to becoming highly productive is a personal one, and what works for one student may not be as effective for another. It's important to try different strategies, measure your progress, and tweak your approach accordingly. Whether it's streamlining your study habits or harnessing the potential of digital tools, every small step towards increased productivity paves the path for success in the dynamic fields of business and economics.

I had a discussion with a friend of mine in the (US) military recently and it reminded me that most people in the US and, in fact, in the world, are almost entirely unaware that there is a new Cold War taking shape. I think more people should be aware of it, knowledge is power after all, and knowing about something gives you the opportunity to help shape it, particularly if you're a citizen of a country where your voice has an impact in government. I hope this LONG RANT (TM) helps someone better understand.

INTRODUCTION

As I said, there's a new Cold War beginning, and, like the previous Cold War, there's a strong component of ideology to it. Specifically, the world is beginning to fracture between liberal democracy and autocracy.

What makes this conflict particularly complex is that we're at the early stages. When thinking about the Cold War, capitalism vs communism, it wasn't until the 1950s, 1960s, or even the 1970s in some cases that it was really clear which side most consequential nations would end up on. It was pretty obvious that the Soviet Union and the United States would be the major communist and capitalist powers, respectively, but the status of many other nations didn't become clear until long internal political debates and outside interventions had a chance to play out.

So, without further ado, let's get into it.

WHY IS THERE A CONFLICT AT ALL?

This is one of the key questions and, honestly, it all comes down to the interconnectedness of the modern world. You see, modern autocracies that don't rely on the divine right of kings to justify their rule generally justify it by results. In order to make sure the results come out correctly, they control the information available to their people to ensure that their people are told that the autocratic rulers are giving them the best results, whether that's in terms of economics, culture, religion, or whatever else they want to focus on.

As my old boss used to tell me a decade and a half ago, "North Korea can't afford to allow YouTube to get to the average person even if the average person just watches stupid videos because it's going to become really obvious that, yes, this person is an idiot, but that idiot has a fridge, a TV, a car, and has obviously never missed a meal in their life; they can't possibly be poorer than us."

In the olden days that would be fairly easy. Radio signals only travel so far, so as long as you control the TV and radio stations and limit the ability of printed media to spread too widely, you could completely control what information your population receives.

Nowadays, however? Well, that's very different. The internet allows people from all over the world to talk to each other in an instant and it can even go a long way to easing language barriers. The advent of satellite internet means that even efforts to control internet traffic such as the so-called "Great Firewall of China" will be increasingly limited in their effectiveness.

Today, in order for an autocracy to control the information their people receive, they not only have to control the information environment in their own country, they have to control the information available in other countries as well. That's the reason you're seeing things like the Saudi Arabia's murder of dissident Jamal Khashoggi, Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko and Sergei and Yulia Skripal, a Chinese attempt to kidnap dissidents in the US, India's alleged killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, and it's attempt to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.

All of these were killings or other physical violence that took place in liberal democratic countries (except for Khashoggi who, though American, was lured to the Saudi embassy in Turkey where was killed) where what the individuals were doing was perfectly legal. This is the driver of conflict today, authoritarian nations attempting to maintain their monopoly on the information their citizens receive in a global information environment.

THE EARLY DAYS

We're currently in the early days of this autocracy vs liberal democracy competition and there are numerous nations currently in conflict over which side they're going to be on including, unfortunately, our own. In order to explain that, I need to get a bit technical over the difference between "democracy" and "liberal democracy".

Democracy, basically, can describe any situation where leaders are elected by some kind of popular vote. If you look closely at that for a second, you'll realize that it's such a broad category that even the autocratic Soviet Union technically qualified. Obviously, a category broad enough to include actual autocracies isn't really in opposition to them.

Liberal Democracy, on the other hand, is a Democracy, but with a whole bunch of other things as well. In general, a Liberal Democracy will feature multiple distinct candidates and/or parties in their elections, some sort of separation of powers between branches of government, the rule of law (law that applies equally to all), an open society (one in which individuals make choices rather than being controlled by tribes or other type of collectivism), a market economy with private property, universal suffrage, and the protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms for all people.

(That definition borrowed almost entirely from the Wikipedia article on Liberal Democracy, check it out if you're interested.)

In other words, Liberal Democracy is more than just "do people vote for leaders?", but encompasses just about everything we'd associate with individual rights and liberties and the structure of institutions to ensure them. People in an Illiberal Democracy may technically vote for their leaders but, without all of these other rights and protections, they can hardly be said to have truly chosen them. And, when you define it clearly, you can see that there's a bit of a disagreement about that in American politics right now.

The Republican Party, and particularly its MAGA wing, is increasingly of the mind that not everyone's vote is legitimate and has been putting in place barriers to voting that disproportionately affect disfavored groups. In addition, they're pushing to end much of the separation of powers, putting more unchecked power in the hands of the president at the expense of checks, balances, and sometimes guarantees of individual liberty. Democracy would continue, but Liberal Democracy would end.

To be clear, this isn't just an American problem, but one that is faced by nearly every Liberal Democracy today. As part of autocrat's efforts to control information outside of their own borders, they've been attempting to influence politics within Liberal Democracies and promote internal autocratic movements; usually right-wing nationalists. From the Republican Party's MAGA wing to France's National Front to Germany's Alternativ Fur Deutschland, just about every Liberal Democracy in the world now has a fundamentally autocratic right-wing party that is doing much better than it did just ten or twenty years ago and, if you scratch the surface, you will find support for them, both financial and otherwise, from autocrats around the world.

Of course, it's not just the far-right either, autocrats have been promoting the far-left in Liberal Democratic countries as well. While the far-right has had much more electoral success and is much more politically organized in the west and, thus, has received more attention, we can't ignore the fact that autocracy is largely neutral on the political scale and operates anywhere that conspiratorial thinking can take hold and distract people from the removal of their freedoms or even convince them that those freedoms hold no value in the first place.

WHERE WE GO FROM HERE

Well, that's the trillion dollar question, isn't it?

Conflict will likely continue between autocratic and liberal democratic states, but the complexities are growing. Much like communism vs capitalism, autocracy vs liberal democracy is more of a spectrum than a hard binary and many states are actively sloshing around along that spectrum.

There's also the uncertainty of how different countries react to incidents like the ones we're seeing. Technically, killing a person on the soil of another country is an act of war, but not many people in the modern world are willing to go to war for the killing of one person. Most likely what we'll see is a gradual hardening of blocs as liberal democracies react to provocations by slowly pulling back from cooperation and connection with autocratic nations.

We're also likely to see countries switch sides. Unlike the rapid shift in allegiances that we saw during the Cold War, however, these are likely to be more gradual shifts like what we've seen in Hungary and Turkey where individual rights are stripped away gradually and a governing autocrat is slowly ensconced in power rather than a hard and fast coup. We could, of course, see countries go the other way as well, as in the case of Ukraine which has slowly strengthened individual rights and overthrown its autocrats.

All of this, the solidification of blocs and the shifting of countries within this spectrum, is going to create the opening situations for this particular conflict. Whether it becomes a conflict of more rigidly defined blocs or even sparks proxy wars remains to be seen.

CONCLUSION (TL;DR)

The days of a fairly open world, both in physical travel, the movement of goods, and in communication, is starting to come to an end as that openness begins to threaten the hold of autocrats on power. Those autocrats are attempting to keep both the openness and power by working to control the information available in countries that practice Liberal Democracy and generally guarantee individual liberties.

Over the next several decades, it is likely that we will see increasing separation between a bloc of autocratic nations and a bloc of liberal democracies, much as the Cold War saw separation between pro-capitalist and pro-communist countries. Some of that separation will likely not go smoothly and we will likely see at least some military tension and possibly even armed conflict as leaders react to changes or even try to distract from them with military force.

Just as importantly, we are likely to see tension within countries all over the world as autocratic political parties attempt to take control of liberal democracies and pro-democracy movements attempt to overthrow autocrats.

I'll admit this isn't the most hopeful vision of the future that we'd like to see, but I think it's fairly realistic given the current realities we see. I hope that this gives you some insight into what's going on and allows you to plan accordingly.

As always, let me know if you think I missed something or got something wrong, I'm always up for adjusting my thoughts, and I hope you enjoyed the read.

Spiritual Business :

Post Pandemic, many people have turned to spiritualism to seek solace and peace from the aftermath of the pandemic. What people are seeking is peace of mind and soul which will allow them to balance their life more appropriately. Keynes’ law states that demand creates supply. So now we are flooded with many YouTube channels from self-declared spiritual Guru’s giving us continuous Gyan (knowledge) about meditation, Positive affirmation, Mind control, self-actualization, self-belief, and many other.

The three main pillars of human spirituality are relationships, values and life’s purpose. But in today’s world of instant gratification people often end up in botched up spiritualism. This has opened a new avenue for opportunists in the society. The main purpose of establishing Temples, Gurudwaras, Mosques, Churches and any kind of religious place was to create a platform for the common people of the society to gain knowledge, learn humanity and the art of giving and sharing. These places of worship were imparting not only the knowledge from Bible, Kuran or Gita but they were used as schools to impart education. These places were used to provide food for poor people, they were also used as health centres, temporary residence for people affected from natural calamities. In short, these places of worship were not only for people to visit God and seek blessings but there was a lot more purpose behind building them.

Unfortunately, the opportunists have exploited this real spiritualism and what we have today is not ‘God Loving’ but ‘God Fearing’ spiritualism. Many donate not to help the needy but to get something in return, be it materialistic or mind gratification. When you expect something in return for any act of yours it becomes a mere transaction. The opportunists in the world have created a huge business out of this spiritualism and religion. People are paid to convert from one religion to other. In the name of saving your time many online portals have been created for you to pay for any kind of ritual without even physically visiting the place of worship. Politicians are using religion to create rifts in people and establishing vote banks for their own benefit. Controversies are being built around conducting Aarti’s, Namaz, processions, pandals on road during festivals in public places. The places of worship (of all religion) are amassing loads of money which they receive in the form of donations. These donations were ideally to be used to give back to the society and help the needy, but instead they are filling up the coffers of few people who control these places of worships.

The honesty in the act of worshipping and the peace attained as of result of this un-selfish act has been long lost in today’s material world. What we are left with is the business of spiritualism.

Zenofem Vs Provestra

When it comes to choosing the right supplement for female health, I get it. You want something that works, isn’t just hype, and fits into your life seamlessly.

So let’s break down Zenofem vs Provestra.

Ingredients That Matter

Provestra packs a punch with its blend of natural ingredients aimed at enhancing female vitality.

Herbs like Ginseng and Maca Root: These are known for boosting energy and libido.

Vitamins A, C, and E: Essential for overall health and wellness.

On the flip side, Zenofem also uses herbal ingredients but leans heavily on a different combination.

It includes Black Cohosh, which is often linked to hormone balance.

Both products have their unique edge here. If you're after a broad spectrum of benefits, Provestra might be your go-to.

Effectiveness in Real Life

I’ve seen plenty of testimonials from users who experienced noticeable changes with both products.

One user shared:

“After using Provestra for just a month, I felt more energetic and my mood improved significantly.” — Sarah, 34

Another mentioned:

“Zenofem helped me balance my hormones during a tough time. I noticed fewer mood swings.” — Lisa, 29

These experiences highlight how individual needs can shape results.

User Experience: Ease of Use

Let’s talk about convenience.

Provestra comes in pill form which many find easy to incorporate into their daily routine.

Zenofem also offers pills but some users find their dosage schedule a bit tricky.

If you’re someone who prefers simplicity, Provestra makes it straightforward. Pop a couple of pills daily and you’re set.

Pricing Comparison

When it comes to cost-effectiveness:

Provestra's price is competitive considering its high-quality ingredients.

Zenofem may seem cheaper upfront but check the serving size; sometimes less isn’t more when it comes to supplements.

Investing in your health shouldn’t feel like a gamble. With Provestra, you know you’re getting good value for what you pay.

The Verdict: Which One Should You Choose?

It boils down to what you're looking for in a supplement.

If you want an all-around boost in energy and libido with proven ingredients—Provestra stands out as the better option.

But if hormonal balance is your primary goal—Zenofem could be worth considering.

Ultimately, listen to your body and choose what feels right for you.

In this comparison of libitrinex vs provestra, remember that personal experiences vary widely based on individual needs. What works wonders for one person might not do the same for another.

Make sure whatever choice you make aligns with your lifestyle goals!

Now that you've got the info laid out clearly—what's stopping you from making that move towards better health?

Provestra For Women

Let’s talk about a subject that’s often brushed aside: women’s sexual health.

I know it can feel awkward to discuss, but if you’re feeling less than satisfied in the bedroom, you’re not alone.

Many women face challenges with arousal and desire.

That’s where Provestra for women comes into play.

It claims to be one of the best female arousal pills on the market.

But does it live up to the hype?

How To Use Provestra Effectively

Using Provestra is straightforward.

You take two capsules daily, ideally with food.

This helps your body absorb the nutrients better.

Consistency is key here.

If you want to see results, stick to this routine for at least a month.

Some users report feeling changes within just a week or two, while others notice improvements after several weeks of regular use.

It's all about how your body reacts.

What Effects Can You Expect?

When I first tried Provestra, I was curious about its effects.

Here’s what I found:

Increased libido: Many users experience a boost in sexual desire.

Enhanced lubrication: This is crucial for comfort during intimacy.

Improved mood: A better mood can lead to more interest in sex.

Here's a testimonial from Sarah, 34:

“I started taking Provestra and noticed a change within two weeks. My libido was back! It felt like I had rediscovered my youthful self.” – Sarah, 34

These benefits make Provestra for women stand out as an effective option for those looking to reignite their passion.

Is Provestra Just For Women?

While this product is marketed primarily towards women, there are variations designed specifically for men too—like Provestra for men.

Men's versions focus on enhancing stamina and performance rather than addressing libido directly.

However, if you’re considering sharing with your partner, make sure you're both aware of what each product offers!

Instant Gratification With Provestra Instant Female Arousal Pills

For those seeking quicker results, there's also talk about Provestra instant female arousal pills.

These are formulated to provide immediate effects when needed most.

It’s perfect for spontaneous moments when you want that extra spark without waiting weeks for results.

The Bottom Line

Remember though—results vary by individual.

What works wonders for one might take longer for another—but isn't that true with most things?

5 Ways to Be a Successful Hybrid Worker

The hybrid work model has become increasingly popular, allowing employees to split their time between the office and home. This flexibility offers numerous advantages, but it also presents unique challenges. To thrive in a hybrid environment, workers need to adopt effective strategies to maintain productivity and work-life balance. Here are five essential tips for becoming a successful hybrid worker, drawing on insights from Osumare Marketing Solutions, one of the leading digital marketing agencies in Ahmedabad.

1. Establish a Structured Routine

One of the biggest challenges of hybrid working is maintaining a consistent routine. Without the structure of a traditional office setting, it can be easy to let work hours bleed into personal time.

Creating Your Routine:

Set Clear Work Hours: Define your start and end times for each workday. This helps create boundaries and ensures you’re productive during work hours.

Morning Rituals: Start your day with a routine that prepares you mentally for work. This could include exercise, meditation, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee while reviewing your tasks for the day.

Include Breaks: Don’t forget to schedule short breaks throughout the day. Taking time to stretch, walk, or disconnect can recharge your energy and enhance focus.

By establishing a structured routine, you create a clear distinction between work and personal time, helping you stay organized and focused.

2. Utilize Technology for Effective Communication

In a hybrid environment, strong communication is vital for collaboration and team cohesion. Leveraging technology can help bridge the gap between remote and in-office employees.

Essential Communication Tools:

Instant Messaging Platforms: Tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams facilitate real-time communication, making it easier to ask questions and share updates.

Video Conferencing Tools: Regular video meetings via Zoom or Google Meet can foster stronger relationships among team members and enhance collaboration.

Project Management Software: Use platforms like Trello or Asana to manage tasks, set deadlines, and track project progress, ensuring everyone is aligned.

At Osumare Marketing Solutions, we use these tools to maintain effective communication among our team members, enabling us to remain one of the top digital marketing agencies in Ahmedabad.

3. Create a Dedicated Workspace

A designated workspace is crucial for maintaining focus and productivity in a hybrid work environment. Having a specific area for work can help signal to your brain that it’s time to be productive.

Tips for Your Workspace:

Choose a Quiet Location: Find a spot in your home that minimizes distractions, whether it’s a spare room, a corner of your bedroom, or a home office.

Invest in Ergonomics: Make sure your workspace is comfortable. Invest in a good chair and desk that support proper posture to avoid fatigue and discomfort.

Personalize Your Space: Add elements that inspire you, such as plants, artwork, or motivational quotes. A personalized workspace can boost your mood and creativity.

When your workspace is set up for success, you’ll be more focused and engaged in your tasks.

4. Prioritize Work-Life Balance

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is critical in a hybrid work setting, where the boundaries between work and home can easily blur.

Strategies for Balance:

Set Boundaries: Clearly communicate your work hours to family and friends, and stick to them. This helps create expectations and allows you to focus on work without interruptions.

Engage in Hobbies: Make time for activities you enjoy outside of work. Whether it’s reading, cooking, or exercising, engaging in hobbies can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

Practice Self-Care: Prioritize mental and physical health by incorporating self-care practices into your daily routine. This could include mindfulness exercises, regular workouts, or simply taking time to relax.

A balanced approach will help you remain productive while ensuring that you don’t burn out.

5. Stay Connected with Your Team

Building and maintaining relationships with colleagues is essential, especially in a hybrid work environment where face-to-face interactions may be limited.

Ways to Connect:

Schedule Regular Check-ins: Organize weekly or bi-weekly meetings with your team to discuss ongoing projects, share updates, and connect on a personal level.

Participate in Team-Building Activities: Engage in virtual team-building exercises or social events to strengthen relationships and foster a sense of community.

Encourage Open Communication: Create an environment where team members feel comfortable sharing their ideas, concerns, and feedback. Open communication fosters trust and collaboration.

At Osumare Marketing Solutions, we prioritize team connections to create a cohesive work environment, ensuring we remain one of the best digital marketing agencies in Ahmedabad.

Conclusion

Being a successful hybrid worker requires intentionality and effort. By establishing a structured routine, utilizing technology for communication, creating a dedicated workspace, prioritizing work-life balance, and staying connected with your team, you can navigate the challenges of hybrid work effectively.
