2✨The New Frontier of Co-Creation: Human-AI Collaboration in the Matrix of Reality
As humanity moves further into an age of rapid technological advancement, we find ourselves standing at a crossroads—where human creativity and artificial intelligence converge. This convergence is more than just a technological shift; it’s a new frontier where collaboration between humans and AI is reshaping how we think, create, and manifest reality. In this emerging landscape, we’re no longer…

ive got an essay due at 3pm tomorrow and ive not even looked at it i am so so unserious about my degree and by the grace of some higher being i somehow keep managing to crawl through it's actually getting a bit funny
#me and an old friend of mine used to have a running joke during a-levels that im just one of those people where shit Works Out#and it started bc we shared two a-levels (english and economics) and in BOTH classes i regularly didn't do the homework#or the reading etc and yet it would ALWAYS work out for me#like we'd walk into a class neither of us having done the homework and they'd get yelled at while i went under the radar somehow#or that one english essay i got the highest score in the class when i literally hadn't even read the fucking book it was on#and when we pointed the theory out it started just becoming really prevalent#like no matter how late i am for things i'll arrive and by some miracle the thing im late for is also late (e.g a train or teacher)#like im just one of those people that has very very mundane luck#and low and behold i am fighting this degree with bloody fists putting the absolute bare minimum in for my own sanity's sake#and i SOMEHOW keep pulling through. literally failed two modules last year and STILL got a 2:1 average#and the last essay i wrote was the worst essay id ever done in my life and i get my standards are higher bc ik im good at essays#but the point still stands and you know what? i got a FIRST#literally was pure waffle i have never blagged it so hard and i got a FIRST#and all this shit just makes me cockier and cockier and go even more by the skin of my teeth and it ALWAYS WORKS OUT#it's soooo silly but im not complaining. anyway ill keep u posted about this essay <3 it's econ history so is actually interesting#but the most ive done for it is ask the sc ai lmao and for context degree-level essays usually require a good few days of graft#live love laziness#hella goes to uni

So with all the stuff going on around Nintendo Vs Pocketpair I feel like people are missing the point of what's going on.
And this article actually finally brings up the biggest point: Nintendo has 1000s of patents and chooses not to enforce them all on everyone.
The idea that, quoting the article and Serkan Toto, "Nintendo's sweeping list of patents means it likely "could have sued half of the gaming industry back in 2017," …so like WHY NOT DO THAT?
There's a million reasons to not do it for Nintendo but TLDR is it's just bad business for them to do so.
The real take away is -what has PocketPair/Palworld done- that has brought out Nintendo to start enforcing these things in this particular situation?
A lot if you pay attention to PocketPair/Palworld's marketing and social presence. They threw rocks at Nintendo, so Nintendo is finally pushing back.
Now I'm not going to fully go to bat for Nintendo and say "they are a good company" because there's no such thing truly…
But in most cases with Nintendo, they C&D folks multiple times before even thinking of escalating anything to real legal trouble. Which is kinder than most companies.
The final thought of the article says that Nintendo may feel "threatened" by PalWorld but… I don't buy it.
Pokemon is THE highest grossing franchise in the world… ever… of all time. It's total revenue is around $100 BILLION with a B.
PalWorld, even at it's height, didn't even come close.
The aspects that I think Nintendo decided to act upon in their mind for this is the brazen bold rudeness and shit talking that happened on social media/marketing with PocketPair/Palworld.
PLUS the fact that Pokemon fans were also quick to be like "bruh, even if this isn't stolen it's obviously design lifted" for a lot of Palworld's Pals.
Add in the fact that both Microsoft and now Sony have pulled PalWorld onto their platforms… Nintendo is going to notice and get mad.
The truth is that PocketPair is an indie dev… with major AAA studios behind it now in a lot of ways. Which actually hurts PocketPair in a sense.
Nintendo tends to ignore indie stuff and has actually collabed with many indie studios before in major ways, so they aren't anti-indie.
Nintendo is OLD SCHOOL and expects a little bit of respect.
Nintendo has not taken action against pretty much any of the other true new Tiny Critter Collecting Indie IP that have popped up, a lot of them are ON Nintendo platforms and have had Nintendo feature them in directs…
But PocketPair threw rocks. Nintendo easily saw this as disrespect, but could be ignored.
What CAN'T be is the outcry from their own fanbase to "look into things" with PalWorld to see what, if anything, was lifted from Nintendo directly.
And Nintendo did. They took over a year to look into it.
This isn't Nintendo doing a knee jerk reaction, they went over things and took their time to research what PalWorld and PocketPair were doing.
Nintendo isn't stupid. They don't pick fights for no reason.
Regardless of if you LIKE Nintendo, or your feelings on a big company taking on a little company… Nintendo is very likely on the right side of business, IP, and patent law here.
Nintendo -losing- here would be, actually, really bad for small folks more than big guys in the long run.
Adding in the fact that PocketPair launched a generative Ai art game on top of all that…
This feel like, yes, Nintendo is flexing in a lot of ways but… they chose who to flex on and not to flex on -everyone-… so there seems to be a solid reason as to -why-.
Again the real take away is that IF Nintendo could have sued half of the gaming industry (as of 2017) with all the patents they have … why didn't they and WHY are they choosing to sue PocketPair/Palworld -now-?
Because that's more important than anything else.

More TADC ramblings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
57.. It's starting to become a reoccurring number in the circus. Most universes have numbers as a key factor in their worlds. The Halo universe around the Bungie era and beyond use the number 7 since it's the luckiest number, hence why Master Chief is 117. Other times, the numbers are meaningless and just there for a gag. In numerology or in a religious sense, the number 57 from google and other sources say that Angel Number 57 indicates a period of changes and spiritual development. It encourages you to rely on your intuition and inner wisdom to guide you through life's transitions. It's a sign from your angels to trust that the changes you are experiencing are for your highest good and to keep a positive attitude. Could this by why Caine is keeping everyone sane in the circus and not abstract..? Being a sort of angel to make them trust the changes via their adventures? It could probably just be a gag number that will probably be never explained by Gooseworx.
Tumblr media
Outside of Caine's attempts (and failing miserably) to understand Zooble's issues and dismorphia and just give a half-assed supply of parts for them, the roles are reverse in the therapy session. While the old man's teeth was criticised for their adventures and the amount of danger and psychological damage like the war criminal he is, Caine is an AI, he is the source and the heart of the circus, his entire coding and digital soul is glued to this purgatory that he calls a home. Making adventures for those trapped here is his passion, it's all he exists to do even if it "unintentionally" hurts others and makes them miserable, and Zooble manages to break him and crack him at his own existence. The entire Circus starts glitching as he starts to doubt himself. The fact of the matter is that AI can be screwed around with. Change the code, find a loophole in their system. Zooble unintentionally created a Paradox in Caine's coding. If there's no worth or joy in the adventures, he'd lose his passion, and without passion, you'd question yourself and your own worth. Who's know what would happen if Zooble didn't react in time. Would Caine become an abstracted AI or is that clue to escaping the circus? If Caine glitches to the point of no return, would they escape? Would they die all together? Or would he just be paralysed and unable to cope with the digital dread of his own creations...?
Tumblr media
... Why do I get a sense of dread that Kinger might not make it out alive in this circus in the next few adventures?
After that episode, I am terrified of the possibility of him abstracting. And for once, I'm with Zooble on this one believing he might be the next one to be abstracting. Being a dad to Pomni and helping her understand to cherish those you love and care for and to tame and calm an abstracted being. Is something worth cherishing him for as he wanders and hides in the darkness.

her lips subconsciously twitch in a semblance of rare gentleness . it's not even something she's self-aware of , crinkling eyes and a ghost of a curled mouth. that fondness sinking and rising above the tumultuous currents of the detective's previously stony demeanor . despite the light in her left eye, ( aiba ? aiba ! . . . no signal. it's just me . . ) mizuki's expression seems to momentarily defrost into something that seems far more true than before.
Tumblr media
" . . . she's a huge part of me, that's for sure . usually she'd be right in front of your eyes . she's the most i have left of vision at this point . and . . she's my partner. she's -- . . " a pause , emotions subconsciously spilling - after all , silence and separation made the heart fonder ; right?
( and more open . )
" -- important. " to stupid date, to me. she's more than i could ever tell her without her getting a bigger ego . . !
there's a long pause as mizuki sizes him up. the wings? longer teeth? pupiled eyes slit like? yeah , something was up , but in her eighteen years she had seen lifetimes. maybe not in the way his eyes felt so boyish and young and old and piercing all at once but.... mizuki has enough perception and wisdom from a child buried long ago to understand that her usual bold approaches won't do her any favors . the smile slowly slips ; twisting faintly not in discomfort, hardly fear, a word rarely applicable . . . and listens.
" . . . honestly ? i never planned to fight you . i barged in here, remember ? evennnn if didn't mean to. so . . it's kinda my bad. if anything , this place . . . " it's lonely. like a somnium, it's full . . of feelings as much as that emptiness i woke up to .
" yeah , we got on a bad foot. it's inconvenient and probably not the best idea . especially if i'm trespassing . . .though to be honest , it looks lonely here . if this is a dream, maybe not what i'm familiar with . . . or just a space, then - i think you could spruce it up . " she awkwardly shifts a black shoe around her adjacent heel from behind.
" . . not the paintings though . they're really pretty. " an offhand. " so, to make up for the misunderstandings, bad footing, yadda yadda . . how about i give you my name? " a slow blink, lashes ghosting her cheeks and contemplative expression before raising her head to him; a black glove brushing blue strands from the woman's face.
" mizuki . and don't be too weirded out by the attitude change . if i did something wrong, i'm going to do something about it . it doesn't feel right intruding like this . . . even if i would give some parts minus all the pretty art: a touch up; y'know, dust-cleaning ? is this like, your home? you're very protective of it. "
Tumblr media
" . . . whoa whoa whoa - phantom thief? what, like that one guy in fiction or something ? dark ? uhhh . . . " she keeps her sharp tongue, both blade and balm, shut. "that's a first. well you definitely stand out on that one. dark , huh ? might take me a bit but sure . but i don't know anything about a phantom thief . and i'd know about something like that . " it's cryptic; the last bit before mizuki's mouth curls in something between a humored breath of a laugh and bewilderment.
" magic ? uhhhh . . .excuse me ? again , no dice on that one. magic. well, you have wings... " a brief point that is surprisingly, akin to the majority might, non-judgmental .
" . . . look , whatever you call it, magic, whatever, didn't we say we weren't gonna fight ? i told you essentially that i'm sorry. " though he kinda looks lonely here. really recycling the lonely part huh , mizuki ?
" so , dark, " she begins ; mouth curling slightly at how skittish he was around her. it was both amusing and kinda . . endearing? stupid ? both ?
what a weirdo !
" i'm gonna need your help. you up for that? if i'm here , then my body probably isn't awake . no, it's definitely not . and i need to get back to her, and some idiot . " date , i better not be in a coma . . geez . why i am worried about him ? i should kinda be worried about me . . .
mizuki places a hand on her hip; one brow raised and her smile turning into a harmless smirk. " c'mon , not like you want me around here longer, right ? "
Tumblr media
a brow raises --- and cautiously , dark's posture shifts . no sudden movements , no aggressive instincts , nothing more than the set of an elbow onto practically the only thing separating the two of them in the gloomy space of the dream , his head supported by a grooveless palm , brilliant black wings unfolding and fluttering . silent as it should have been , it wasn't difficult for his ears to pick up her bits and pieces .
' ... phew . ' he can't help but sigh . a study of her expression alone seems to impart enough , and it's only now that he finally leaves the meager sanctuary he had situated for himself , maintaining a safe distance for them both while his arms push themselves into a tight cross . he doesn't growl , grin or jeer at her , his own expression still and difficult to read --- if she was mature , then he was ancient .
Tumblr media
' ... what , you usually do this sort of thing with a close partner ? ' too , he might have added . ' are you going to be alright , then ? look , we might have gotten off to a rough start , but it hurts to be separated from a part of yourself . personally , i still don't have any interest in fighting you , especially if you're feeling disoriented at all . ' in the underbelly of his gently-pronounced , carelessly-spoken statement , his own subtle promise remained , in that he wouldn't somehow attempt to further kick and wound her should she have already been considered down in this place .
--- the rest comes merely as a surprise .
it's a strange feeling , too --- to seem scolded . of course he was here . when was he not ? when the world opened up , and he was free , just for a little bit ? enough to take and admire just one more work of art , adding it to the mass of this hollow dimension . he doesn't understand how anybody could cut to the very center of himself in a way like this , but if there's any effect , he hurries to hide it : both his existential feebleness , and his own monstrous quality as a thing --- how funny , how sad , how lonely , to be mistaken for someone . once again , dark's tongue clicks . he clears his throat ; adjusts himself with no shortage of accused grumpiness .
' yeah , well --- obviously . ' it's a curt response to her point and intensity . no matter his own impatience , surely if he waited in this place , daisuke too would someday , over and over again , find and call out for him . even if there was nothing else here , he alone existed . ' ... 'scuze me for assuming that you weren't exactly eager for my company . ' he veils and curtains what he can . a taste of his own medicine , she says --- well , he's certainly never gotten one in any way like this , so that made two of them .
Tumblr media
' --- and who the hell's being dramatic ?! you know i could probably just send you right out and back with a little magic , right ?! do you even know who you're talking to ?! ' probably not , asking all sorts of questions ! ' right now , you're having a conversation with the one and only phantom thief dark ! who the hell are you even supposed to be in the first place ?! i hate nosy people , you know ! why should i be telling you anything about what's in here ? maybe you should be the one getting lost ! '
#honestly as proud and fierce / standalone as mizuki is and capable in spades? she genuinely#is SUCH a sweetheart.#her anger COMES from injustice and people hurting. she's so hero coded. so for the bite and snark she even point blank says#at twelve 'you gotta repay the debts you owe! it's just the right thing to do.'#'i'm so much older than her but it doesn't feel like it! ' - her best friend / sister figure at 18 when she was 12#she's just very wise and mature but v much a hothead and brash.#but underneath that is a sweetheart as i think we've seen with daisuke who will not hesitate to lay her safety down to secure someone's goo#be it emotionally or otherwise#she isn't really mad at dark. like he said wrong footing!#and yeah i LOVE how i hit the jackpot#mari is tentatively stepping but landing straight on the core of things#and mizuki just PIERCED LIKE AN ARROW RIGHT IN LMAO???#but you know both girls are the same in being gentle-hearted just...one is more inside than out.#but once you get mizuki's trust it's probably the highest compliment from her. basically she's too kind. she just uh#has been through hell since she was born. and it's not really stopping lmao rifp mizu...#also yes she'd open up to dark with time i have no idea how these two are gonna pan out but it's GONNA BE GOOD TSUN!!!!!#lmao when he finds out she's a detective.#let's uh hope he doesn't find out about a lot of her own tragedies then again them supporting each other would be good shit#lmao my tag wall is growing hELP#𝐈𝐂 *ೃ༄ braver than all flowers.#dnangelic#also yes he's real to her he feels things and he feels /lonely/ she doesn't need her ai family member in her left eye to know that :')#she knows that feeling too oops

Cupid and Me - Yuki Tsunoda x ColombianOlympicArchery! Reader
Plot: Yuki loves watching archery… and of course he supports the Japanese Team, however he can’t help being entranced by the Colombian Lady, and he thinks it’s time to become Cupid himself even though your aim is way better!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yuki was always into sports, not just karting going into F1 but he loved Golf, Football, Swimming, he loved it all. So when AlphaTauri gave him the chance to go and watch the summer Olympics for a few days in the off season as a means for content he was so excited to be a part of it.
He started off his day watching a Basketball match. He sat watching happily to see who would win between Finland and China.
The atmosphere was always so incredible and the amount of different fans you would that had travelled half way across the world just to see these sports and people compete for their country was incredible.
The next place he was to go to, was Archery. He was extremely excited, knowing the people he’d be rooting for were good at these kinds of sports that required that extra level of intellect and precision.
While he held up his Japanese flag for the woman who currently held the highest score of the match, having a bullseye and a few 8’s and 9’s his gaze wondered over to you, who was just about to start.
You were tall, fierce and your sleek dark hair up in a claw clip keeping it in place out of your face.
Now Yuki didn’t believe in love at first sight but when he saw you pull back the now and line it up close to your nose to get the perfect shot, and he saw you immediately hit a 9 and celebrate in a loud and almost boisterous manner he couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter.
It was stupid really, he was there in the stands waving a Japanese flag to support his own country and his people, but you stood there with the Colombian flag on the back of your team gear along with your name and number he couldn’t help it.
As the game went on, he found himself learning more about you, from the way you talked to the other contenders with a bright smile on your face, or nodding your head while your trainer chatted your ear of no doubt about strategy and where you were lacking, not that Yuki thought you were, you were storming your contestants.
“Can I get a picture with the winner, I think it’ll be good for content?” He asked once it was obvious you were going to be the winner.
“Yea, let’s pray the Japanese team pull through so you can hold the flag up together but that Colombian girl, Y/N is the Archer himself!” She exclaims seeing Y/N pull another bullseye.
You ended up winning gold, a Japanese girl called Ai and an American called April.
“Y/N there’s someone who wants to take a picture with you and meet you” you trainer says as you finish your celebrations holding up the other girls flags while they had pictures with their flowers before they held up yours.
“Oh yeah who is it!” You smile, wondering if it was a fan or another celebrity.
“It’s Yuki Tsunoda? He’s a Japanese F1 driver!” She answers and you nod, being sort of familiar with the popular driving sport.
“Sure, where is he! Send him my way!” You grinned excited to meet another athlete.
Yuki came in and you were shocked to see how short he was, around 5’2 whereas you were around 5’7. But he was cutely pocked sized - how on Earth was he an F1 driver.
You were in thought as he shyly came up to you. Be polite, great him in his own language.
“Kon'nichiwa” you test, with a polite bow. You’d learnt greetings in most languages, as an Olympian it was always in your mind that you should hold the upmost respect to your competitors.
“Oh, you speak Japanese?” He asks with an even shyer smile on his face.
“Jakkan” you grin indicating that you only knew a little bit of the language, with a wolffish type of smile that had Yuki’s face bursting with Red as he couldn’t take his gaze from you and how captivating you were.
“Okay, how about that photo?” The Alphatauri manager asks directing you to to stand next to each other.
“Hey, you want to wear my medal?” You’d asked him, another grin on your face as you stated to take it off from around you next.
“No no no. It’s yours!” He cries as if it’s the most outrageous thing ever, but you stop him and place it around his neck! In the photo you have your arm around his shoulder your opposite hand pointing to the medal with your mouth open in an excited way.
Yuki is all smiles and before you know it, the managers have left the pair of you alone and your both talking.
He’s asking you about how you got into archery and your talking about how he got into F1 and how it feels to drive a car as quickly as that, and when you both delve a little deeper you find the feels of releasing the arrow and launching as the lights go out isn’t too dissimilar.
“You want to join me for dinner?” You ask boldly, not that it was a scary situation for you, you were normally quiet upfront when it came to things like this so it didn’t feel too odd.
“Yes, I think I’d really enjoy that!” He smiled.
And that was the start of a beautiful new relationship formed through observation, love at first sight and a little help in hand from Cupid.

I feel I need to balance this angst out, do this AFTER you’ve done the others and given yourself time to chill…I’ve got my eyes on you…
Anyhow, how’s about the TADC gang all seperate with an s/o who’s just the definition of ‘chill’. They are the best comfort partner (just behind Kinger ofc), they comfort, share and engage in hobbies, show small signs of affection like soft side hugs and gentle butterfly kisses to the cheeks or neck, an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. Will also 100% piggyback/bridal carry their significant other if asked or for fun. Just a pure wholesome fuzzy mess.
Lazy days
This is just going to be what I think their hobbies and all are. As it's a fluffy request I'm going to do softer not cannon versions of everyone. TADC crew x Chill/Relaxed Reader
Caine
Caine can be an incredibly busy man/AI so try and make him take breaks. He gets to caught up in work because he's so worried that if he doesn't have fun things to do then people will start abstracting. So when you walk into his office gently pick him up and sit down in his chair with him now sitting on your lap it helps him snap out of it. He isn't going to stop still. But he really appreciates you being there. You being there and every now and again giving him an idea you had makes the work take longer, but makes it much more enjoyable. You'll honestly probably end up falling asleep on him, arms wrapped around him head on his shoulder. Sadly he doesn't have a neck, or any real exposed skin. So kisses will be a little rough but that isn't gonna stop you. It is a little weird kissing a giant set of teeth though. And second he finished up, or at least reaches a point where he can stop you pick him up and take him to your bed. Sometimes he'll tunnel vision to much on something and you'll have to do that anyways. It's like holding an angry cat when that happens, minus the claws.
Gangle
Gangle loves affection but isn't amazing at giving nor receiving it. Any time you do anything she can and will blush. And if you protect her from Jax. Putty Gangle has arrived. How relaxed you are despite everything happening helps her out a lot. I headcannon that she loves working with clay, like making pottery and all. But sadly with her ribbon hands she can't do it anymore. Or rather couldn't, cause you help her out. You two will sit in front of a potters wheel. You have her place her hands on the outside of yours and you just let her lead. (I have made plenty of pottery in my time and I can safely say it is incredibly hard to do.) Sadly unless your helping her with something she doesn't let you in her pottery station anymore. You tried to make a mug for her without her and it didn't go well. You didn't know the first thing about pottery when she wasn't guiding you so it ended up blowing up in the kiln. You felt really bad. Cuddles with Gangle are a little strange. She doesn't have any real body weight so it really does feel like your cuddling a piece of ribbon (for good reason). So you two came up with something. You got a body pillow that's around her height and when you two are cuddling she'll wrap around it so she has more mass. When she needs some comfort you'll know. Whenever she's in a really bad mood and wants you touch but doesn't really want to say it she'll exist really close to you and start gently wrapping one of her arms around yours. Overall 10/10, she's a giant sweetheart and your lucky you got her. So treat her well yeah?
Zooble
I recommend bringing some kind of hoodie or blanket with you. Her edges can be a little harsh on the body. Out of everyone Zooble is the highest chance of most cuddles. She never gets involved in adventures and avoids the others when she can. Which basically just means more alone time with her. Zooble has a lot of insecurities concerning her new body and the circus. You're the only one she trust enough with that kind of thing so don't downplay her thoughts and emotions. The main way she shows affection is just spending time with you, she isn't big on touch and she doesn't exactly have the resources for gifts. And that worries her, she knows that she can be rude and unpleasant to be around but she doesn't have anything else to offer you. She's not great at communication so you really just need to keep patient and keep loving her. She has a jagged and rough exterior, but it like everything can be broken. It'll just take time.
Kinger
You two make a great bunch. The others never would have thought but if someone is having an especially bad day they go to you two. Kinger is amazing at calming and encouraging words, and your amazing at calming acts and setting up an atmosphere. You've saved a lot from abstraction because of that. Hugs are amazing from him. That royal medieval robe he's wearing is really nice to the touch. Sadly he doesn't have a mouth but he'll try and make up for that with head bonks (Head bonk: To gently place your head against someone you care about to show affection. Usually used when that person isn't comfortable with kisses.) One time you two built an actual castle out of pillows. It took you like a day but it had a working drawbridge and everything! Sadly it was broken during an adventure but it was really fun to build with Kinger. He can get a little... Unstable... When that happens a tight hug and a kiss can usually snap him out of it. But if that doesn't work bring him back to your room. The atmosphere you have set up and the fact that it smells like you will help him out a lot.
Ragatha
Once again you two make a good combo. She holds people off from breaking down. But if she can't stop it then she sends em to you. So once again you two help with abstraction a lot. But poor baby is stressed and you help provide some needed relief. I see her as the type of if she was expecting a kiss or a hug she'll hug/kiss back and thank you. If she wasn't she turns into a blushing mess with a big ol dopey smile on her face. Something she appreciates a lot is more childish things. Like if you start up a pillow fight with her she will be ecstatic. But be warned her pillows hit like a truck. Not cause their different just because she's really good at pillow fights. Her fav cuddle type is the honeymoon hug (look it up). She gets to be close to you and give you smooches if she wants. And she gets to feel like she's protecting you. She is the mom friend and you annoy her by saying over the top things like. "Ok MOM" when she asks you to stop doing something. First few times she hated it but now she goes along with it sayng things like "Hey! Don't talk back to me. Give me your phone you're grounded." She never means it though.
Jax
I think Jax is the most stable person in the circus. I'm saying he's mentally ok I'm just saying that he is by far at the least risk for abstraction. Whenever Jax plays a joke on someone and you go to help calm them down he gets a little jealous. He knows you love him but he doesn't really like you talking to others. So don't be surprised if you're in the middle of comforting someone and he just picks you up and walks away. He can be a little mean so for your own sake try and not take his words to heart. He just by second nature starts pointing things out that he dislikes, and often he starts pointing out things on/to do with you before he realizes. He also won't apologize so just try and ignore it. He sorta makes up for it with affection though. Cause he's pretty affectionate. Most of it is teasing yes, like he's come out of no where kiss your cheek and use a pet name that flusters you then just leave like he didn't do anything. But he's surprisingly gentle when it comes to that kind of thing. I see him being the type where you two fall asleep in the same bed and you wake up with him having his arms and legs around you probably drooling on your forehead. Or he's one of those that take up the whole bed so you often wake up on the floor. Many say that opposites attract. And you two are very different. But that isn't a bad thing.
Pomni
You two are opposites in a lot of ways. She is anxious and constantly in a state of panic/worry. And you never are. So you help her a lot. I see her being kind of like a cat towards you. Constantly around you and or begging for attention. I have an idea that I came up with a few years ago. It's a hoodie with a giant pocket inside. Like one of those baby carriers but minus the straps and inside the hoodie so who/whatever you keep in there share warmth. And she loves it. You two can be relaxing in your room and she'll realize something and spring off the bed you two were on. She and will turn the entire place upside down looking for it (https://www.tiktok.com/@louiencoco/video/7214862848042831110) so if you don't wanna have to clean up later just show her where it is. On a more serious note though you two were a match made in heaven and with enough time you could make a genuine improvement in her mental health. The main reason she's so fragile mentally is cause she never gets/got a break. So her favorite activity with you is probably just relaxing in one of your rooms away from the others.
(Tumblr deleted this like 3 times while I was writing it. And it turned out kind of bad because of that. Sorry but don't blame me. Blame tumblr.)

Since we’re doing part twos👀 Could you write more nsfw hcs for leander and ais? <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes I can Yes I will Yes I did 💃
Tumblr media
Ais
Aka choose one hair colour challenge failed
✩ Topping from the bottom
Self-explanatory. “Gives it almost as well as he takes it,” but he’s in charge babe, you stand no chance. He’ll treat you good though, don’t worry—
✩ Facefucking
YOUR FACE OR HIS, he doesn’t really mind. He knows to appreciate a good blowjob and loves having his mouth stuffed full of you. Man doesn’t ask for much. Plus he thinks it hot watching you manhandle him.
✩ 69
I see this man having an oral fixation—I can’t explain it. Sit on his face and suck him. As tiring as it is rewarding.
✩ M I R R O R S
He’ll be sitting on the edge of the bed, you on his lap, your back facing him. His veiny hands keep your thighs open as he makes you watch yourself bounce on him in the mirror and struggle to keep your balance and pace. Delicious.
✩ Pillow Prince(ss)
Let him treat you, okay?
✩ Comfort Sex
hEAR ME OUT WAIT— This man will never fuck you while he’s angry. That goes against a couple hundred of his moral codes, plus he would never want to hurt you. But, after some time, if things are getting heated, he will be slow, sensual, careful. He’ll apologise if he’s at fault. He’ll hold your hand and leave soft murmurs on the crook of your neck, kiss away any tears that might leave your eyes. Same goes if he knows you had had a rough day, accompanied by enough praises to make you see stars.
✩ S H O W E R
✩ Seasping
ON THAT NOTE— If he’s lying inside the waters of the Seaspring, presumably looking at the wall, and you climb in alongside him, well… He won’t bother to hide the gigantic smirk on his face that rivals the size of his boobs as he pulls you on his lap. It also serves as an amazing opportunity for a not-so-subtle fuck you to to Ocudeus.
✩ Exhibitionism–ish
He’d fuck you happily infront of a crowd to prove a point (with your consent of course). He’d take any chance thrown his way to brag about how amazing his partner is.
✩ Remote Control Vibrators
There has to be an alternative to that in the Touchstarved universe, right? Oh, that bastard’s smirk when he suddenly presses it to the highest setting from across the room while you’re in the middle of a conversation.
✩ Against the Table
✩ Spontaneous Sex
He’s definitely the type to randomly return home/come find you “because he’s horny.”
✩ Caught
He won’t stop his actions, just look at the person who walked in on you with a “what do you want?” look. Could easily pick up a conversation while fucking his partner’s brains out, 100%
✩ Up Skirt/Panties to the side
✩ Car
RIP Ais, you’d love late night car rides and car sex afterwards.
Leander
Aka the Nile is a river in Egypt
🗡  Nipple Play
This man’s tits are MASSIVE. Treat them well. Suck on them, twist and pull on them, make him cry.
🗡  Masochism
Self-explanatory.
🗡  Anal Toys
Previously mentioned he’s an ass guy, so make everyone a favour and ruin his ass (literally). B̶e̶a̶d̶s̶ w̶i̶l̶l̶ d̶o̶ t̶h̶e̶ j̶o̶b̶ j̶u̶s̶t̶ f̶i̶n̶e̶
🗡  RIDE HIM &
🗡  PULL HIS HAIR
Sit on his lap, pull his hair and force him to look at you while you ride his soul out of his dick. He’ll thank you once he’ll be able to speak again—give him a couple w̶e̶e̶k̶s̶ days though.
🗡  Magic
Of course, I will elaborate. If he can make flowers of light out of thin air, he most definitely can use his magic for other things, even to a small degree. A restraint, a shock of pleasure, and he most definitely will comply if asked (̶s̶h̶o̶w̶-̶o̶f̶f̶)̶.
🗡  Sleepy
Wake him up with a blowjob once, and you’ll have to continue that routine for the rest of both your lives. He’ll be completely bewitched, still groggy as me moans lowly and oh damn that deep morning voice…
🗡  Gag
It’s both hilarious and incredibly turning on. Try that with your panties, and the man has already cummed.
🗡  Lingerie
Talking about panties… The moment he lays his eyes on you and your fancy little outfit, he swallows dryly. His eyes go dark, and he has to reposition himself because he’s so hard. You’d expect him to rip them off of you immediately, but instead, he guides you to stand in front of his spread–out legs, his hands slowly trailing up your thighs to your ass and waist, feeling the way your skin transitions to the material, his chin resting against your stomach as you pet his hair.
“May I?”
“May you, what?”
“May I take these off?” He tugs at the fabric to make his point. “Please?”
M̶o̶n̶t̶h̶s̶ u̶n̶t̶i̶l̶ y̶o̶u̶ w̶a̶l̶k̶ n̶o̶r̶m̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶.
🗡  Cumming Untouched
Too easy to achieve with this man.
🗡  Under the desk
The bar, specifically. It’s beyond amusing watching him try to keep his composure in front of the patrons while you’re sucking him off so beautifully.
🗡  G̶l̶o̶r̶y̶ H̶o̶l̶e̶
He̶ w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶, o̶k̶a̶y̶?̶!̶ D̶o̶n̶'t̶ c̶o̶m̶e̶ a̶t̶ m̶e̶
🗡  Candle/Wax Play
He had set them up to make a “romantic atmosphere” but the second your eyes darted to the candle closest to you while you were on top of him… yeah, he might have slightly regretted his decision (s̶p̶o̶i̶l̶e̶r̶s̶:̶ h̶e̶ d̶i̶d̶n̶'t̶ a̶c̶t̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ a̶n̶d̶ y̶o̶u̶ d̶i̶d̶ i̶t̶ a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶).
🗡  Public Humiliation
It’s literally canon.
🗡  Caught Masturbating
“Come on darling, won’t you help me a little?”

Indigeneity, Project 2025, and Social Security
This affects all Americans.
If you're in the US, you should be aware that the incoming Trump administration plan is to shut down Social Security which includes SSDI ("disability") / SSI ("welfare"), Medicare / Medicaid, along with shutting down EBT / SNAP ("food stamps").
This will also disband Tribes and take our remaining homelands. This is the Termination Era coming back.
Tumblr media
A Trump win seems likely because of the cult of personality surrounding him, and his voter base is completely unaware of his policies.
A lot of them have already voted early for him having no idea that they just voted to end their own healthcare, financial and food assistance in the coming year.
Tumblr media
I don't have much good to say about Kamala Harris because I know her record on Native issues (including writing 15+ letters to the BIA that denied treaty-owed funds to Tribes for water treatment and housing), but
when Harris loses, which seems likely, a lot of vulnerable people are at risk in the next year.
Insulin rationing is already happening to Americans (there's a common lie that "insulin was capped at $35!" when that only applies to seniors on a specific Medicare plan, which is going away) even with the bare minimum social safety net that is Social Security / Medicare / Medicaid.
People are already going hungry even with SNAP / EBT food cards.
If you know anyone who relies on Social Security, or is "on disability" SSDI, or lives in poverty "on welfare" SSI, or needs Medicare or Medicaid for their healthcare and prescriptions, be very aware that you might see scary things happen in 2025, as part of "Project 2025".
This plan has been in the works for years and includes every kind of underhanded lying you can imagine.
Project 2025 has had a fake website with AI generated Native people declaring their love for Trump and the Project up for about a year:
Tumblr media
Zoom in on the hand and the strange sign sign meme text.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
None of these people have names. They don't exist.
This is a project that includes disbanding our remaining Tribes, taking our remaining land and selling it to the highest international bidder. The plan includes doing the same to all "federal land", like National Parks which Trump began doing in 2016 with Bears Ears National Monument.
Tumblr media
The "community-based self-reflection on how we identify as Native people of the United States" is a return of the Termination Era, where all Tribes are disbanded and we "become Americans" or cease to exist as Native people. Our nations are older than the US. The Trump administration has no right to force yet another assimilation policy on us.
This is a land grab, a theft of public resources, and will rob from the poorest people in the US including your neighbors.
This will affect everyone, Native or not.
I don't have any solution. This is just a warning. The rabidly ignorant fanatics who vote just to see you "lose" like it's all just sports betting won't be convinced to do anything different.

The Russian disinformation plot revealed in a Justice Department indictment this week may just be the tip of the iceberg, according to newly unsealed court documents.On Wednesday, the DOJ announced it would seize 32 internet domains linked to a larger Kremlin scheme to promote disinformation and influence the 2024 election. The Russian campaign, known as Doppelganger, uses AI-generated content to create “fake news” boosted through social media with the aim of electing Donald Trump.
“Today’s announcement exposes the scope of the Russian government’s influence operations and their reliance on cutting-edge AI to sow disinformation,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement about the charges. According to records, the plan was well known at even the highest levels of the Russian government—and Russian President Vladimir Putin himself may have been aware of the campaign.
Of particular note, the documents released Wednesday included an affidavit that noted a Russian company is keeping a list of more than 2,800 influencers world wide, about one-fifth of whom are based in the United States, to monitor and potentially groom to spread Russian propaganda. The affidavit does not mention the full list of influencers, but is still a terrifying indicator of how deep the Russian plot to interfere in U.S. politics really goes.
The Doppelganger program and its “Good Old USA Project” aimed to mimic mainstream media outlets to push pro-Russian policies through fake social media accounts. Documents show that the Kremlin specifically targeted Trump supporters, minorities, gamers, and swing-state voters by spreading far-right conspiracies and capitalizing on existing divisions in U.S. politics.

In late August 2023, Ilya Gambashidze was in a conference room at the office of Social Design Agency, a Russian IT company he founded that is based in Moscow, close to the world-renowned Moscow Conservatory. Gambashidze was relatively unknown in Russian politics at the time, but just a month earlier his name had appeared on a Council of the European Union’s list of Russian nationals subjected to sanctions for playing a central role in a sprawling disinformation campaign against Ukraine.
In the conference room, Gambashidze was laying out his plans for a new target: Along with his colleagues, he began drafting what would become known as the Good Old USA Project. The project was supposed to influence the outcome of the US presidential election in favor of former president Donald Trump, specifically targeting certain minorities, swing-state residents, and online gamers, among others, in a scheme that included a full-time team dedicated to the cause.
On Wednesday, Gambashidze and his company were named by the US Department of Justice among the architects of a disinformation campaign known as Doppelganger that has for the past two years been targeting Ukraine and, more recently, US elections. The Doppelganger campaign uses AI-generated content on dozens of fake websites designed to impersonate mainstream media outlets such as The Washington Post and Fox Business, using a network of fake social media accounts to disseminate pro-Russian narratives targeting audiences across the globe. Doppelganger is a Kremlin-aligned disinformation campaign that was first linked to the Kremlin in 2023 by the French government.
On Wednesday, the Justice Department announced the seizure of 32 internet domains it says are linked to the Doppelganger campaign which violate US money laundering and criminal trademark laws.
“Today’s announcement exposes the scope of the Russian government’s influence operations and their reliance on cutting-edge AI to sow disinformation,” FBI director Christopher Wray said in a statement. “Companies operating at the direction of the Russian government created websites to trick Americans into unwittingly consuming Russian propaganda.”
The Treasury Department had previously sanctioned SDA and Gambashidze in March for its part in the Doppelganger campaign. But the court documents unsealed on Wednesday contain a treasure trove of documents and meeting notes from Gambashidze and his colleagues, outlining in unprecedented detail the goals and tactics that the Kremlin has been deploying in order to influence the outcome of the 2024 US election.
The records also reveal the plan was discussed at the highest levels of the Russian government, with Sergei Kiriyenko, the first deputy chief of staff of the presidential executive office, playing a key role. The notes appear to show that President Vladimir Putin may have been updated on the campaign; in one meeting with Russian government officials, Gambashidze wrote that government officials told him they had “reported to the President about the project,” which the FBI agent who authored the affidavit said he took to refer to Putin.
The documents show that the orchestrators of the campaign targeted existing divisions within US society, using racist stereotypes and far-right conspiracies to target supporters of former president Donald Trump.
​​"They are afraid of losing the American way of life and the ‘American dream,’” Gambashidze writes in one document outlining his “guerrilla media” plan. “It is these sentiments that should be exploited in the course of an information campaign in/for the United States.”
The same document is full of racist and conspiratorial claims, including that Republicans are “victims of discrimination of people of color.” It adds that white middle-class people are being discriminated against with high inflation and rising prices, while “unemployed people of color end up being privileged groups of the population.”
And the goal of the campaign, from the beginning, was crystal clear: “To secure victory for [Donald Trump],” Gambashidze wrote in the Good Old USA Project planning document.
The Good Old USA plan openly admits that “none of the significant American politicians can be considered pro-Russian or pro-Putin,” and so rather than focus its efforts on trying to convince people that Russia is great, the plan called for promoting the idea that the US should be focusing its resources less on Ukraine and more on domestic issues, such as rising inflation and high gas prices.
“It makes sense for Russia to put a maximum effort to ensure that the Republican Party’s point of view (first and foremost, the opinion of Trump supporters) wins over the US public opinion,” the Good Old USA Project planning document reads. “This includes provisions on peace in Ukraine in exchange for territories, the need to focus on the problems of the US economy, returning troops home from all over the world, etc.”
As well as getting Trump elected, the campaign’s secondary goals included increasing the percentage of Americans who believe the US is doing too much to aid Ukraine to 51 percent, and reducing the percentage of Americans who have confidence in President Joe Biden down to 29 percent.
The plan lists a variety of audiences the campaign specifically wants to target, including residents of swing states, American Jews, “US citizens of Hispanic descent,” and the “community of American gamers, users of Reddit and image boards, such as 4chan.”
The document describes this category of gamers and chatroom users as the "backbone of the right-wing trends in the US segment of the Internet.” In recent months, the Trump campaign has embraced many of the most influential figures within these communities, including many who share deeply misogynistic rhetoric on a regular basis.
To spread their narrative, the plan called for the creation of YouTube channels that shared pro-Trump content as well as other viral videos (“music, humor, beautiful girls etc,” according to the documents) in order to appear at the top of search results for “US elections.”
Meanwhile, Gambashidze and his colleagues used Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit to create community groups of Trump supporters, with one sample name given as “Alabama for America the Great.” The document also reveals that the Russians planned to use Reddit as a vector to disseminate their propaganda as it is a platform “free from democratic censorship.”
Gambashidze’s plan outlined how Doppelganger would create 18 “sleeper cells” on social media platforms in each of the swing states, which would “at the right moment, upon gaining momentum, become an important instrument of influencing the public opinion in critically important states and portals used by the Russian side to distribute bogus stories disguised as newsworthy events.” It’s unclear if these so-called sleeper cells were created and, if so, whether they are still present on the platform.
The campaign also used targeted ads on Facebook to not only promote their narrative but also to gain valuable insight into what messages were sticking and which were falling flat. “Targeted advertising in Facebook allows tracking reactions of users to the distributed material in real time and directing the psychological response group to contribute to comments thereof,” the document reads. “With the help of a network of bots the psychological response group moderates top discussions and adjusts further launches depending on which group was affected the most.”
One of the key aspects of the Kremlin’s campaign is also to engage with influencers. According to the FBI’s affidavit, Gambashidze’s company ​​“extensively monitors and collects information about a large number of media organizations and social media influencers.”
According to the Good Old USA project document, the Kremlin was seeking to work with influencers who are “proponents of traditional values, who stand up for ending the war in Ukraine and peaceful relations between the US and Russia, and who are ready to get involved in the promotion of the project narratives.”
Among the types of influencers listed as possible collaborators are actors, politicians, media representatives, activists, and clergymen.
The affidavit references one document maintained by the Social Design Agency, which is not included in the unsealed court documents, that contains a list of more than 2,800 people identified as influencers. While this list is global, US-based influencers account for around 20 percent of the accounts being monitored, including many US lawmakers, according to an analysis of the list by the FBI.
The Social Design Agency also maintains another list, again not included in the court documents, that tracks over 1,900 “anti-influencers” from 52 different countries, with US-based accounts. The FBI agent who authored the document assessed that “anti-influencer” refers to accounts which post “content that SDA views as contrary to Russian objectives.”
In a note from one of the meetings with Russian government officials discussing the campaign’s use of influencers, Gambashidze wrote: “We need influencers! A lot of them and everywhere. We are ready to wine and dine them.” Though no links have been confirmed, hours before the Doppelganger affidavit dropped on Wednesday, Tenet Media, an organization that features a slate of right-wing commentators, was alleged in an unsealed Department of Justice indictment to have been largely funded by Russian state-backed news network RT.
The Social Design Agency operation appeared to be extremely well-run and well-resourced. There is a “project office” consisting of four teams that include one entire group dedicated to monitoring the social media posts from GOP lawmakers in order to generate ideas for topics to cover.
These would then be handed to a “text factory," with orders to whittle down the topics handed to them by the monitoring team to four to five main issues, along with eight to 10 basic posts for social media platforms and 40- to 60 comments to post under those social media posts for the network of bots. Another team was called the “manga editorial office,” which was charged with producing a daily output of three to four images, including memes. Finally, a video team was tasked with producing three to four videos each day.
“In order for this work to be effective, you need to use a minimum of fake news and a maximum of realistic information,” the document’s authors wrote. “At the same time, you should continuously repeat that this is what is really happening, but the official media will never tell you about it or show it to you.”
Antibot4Navalny, a group of anonymous Russian researchers who have been closely tracking Doppelganger’s activity, are doubtful that the affidavit will have a significant impact on the campaign’s activity.
“Frankly, I believe it's whack-a-mole as long as EU providers keep doing business with [Social Design Agency], and UK-registered shell companies keep helping SDA with its operation,” the researchers told WIRED, citing their own investigations earlier this year.
