Very Very Far Shot But...

I stumbled upon the concept of this today, and it, uh, struck me and my Dragalia-attuned (among other games) brain.

The word?

Eudaimonia (well, or 'eudaemonia' or even 'eudemonia'). As you might be able to surmise, it is Grecian.

Since it's a bit of a more complicated word in concept, here's snippets of both the good old Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica regarding it:

Closely following this is the more modern concept of eudaemonism, which is the school of thought that evaluates the worthiness of actions based on their capacity to produce happiness.

But wait, there's more!

There also was a concept of eudaimonias as actual spirits, a sort of guardian angel figure.

And, well. This all sounds vaguely familiar to Euden. He himself in Dragalia lore is something of a symbol of dragalia itself made manifest, creating the ultimate har-har in the game's title after the last chapter. Replace "Euden's dead" everytime you see "Dragalia Lost" and it's darkly amusing. What do you mean, in the game "Euden's dead, in the chapter "Euden's dead" Euden dies? Impossible!- But just as he reforms bridges between people and dragons, so too is Euden very concerned and involved with the flourishing of humanity in all stripes. As leader to New Alberia, he also serves something as a guiding figure for the people who chose to follow him, on both a literal 'big-picture, what do we even do' scale as well as a more personal one, as he pays attention to most every individual he meets.

There's also this snippet regarding the actual 'figure' of the eudaimon:

With dragons in Dragalia being essentially nature personified, 'mother nature bites back' champions of higher, more intangible powers and occasionally all but killable gods themselves with their might, it forms a neat sort of comparison with Euden, the intermediary between them and the 'lesser races' of humanity. Euden himself is already something of an intermediary between the divine and mortal, with the whole Xenos-Morsayati-Nedrick trifecta involved in his creation even if he is himself largely the same as most other human.

Of course, with the whole notion of Greek deified heroes entering the mix and their many ends in mythos, it adds another potential tie in, since, yeah. He dead (after performing supernatural feats).

Dragalia also possibly drew on Greek/Roman inspiration for others in his family so it might not be completely impossible. There's Leonidas, who was most notably a king of Sparta and has a few other little tidbits to him that make me wonder if they drew on him for inspiration, and Marcus Aurelius, who was noted as part of the "Last of the Five Good Emperors" in Ancient Rome, a noted militaristic society like Alberia's. That almost reminds me of Aurelius' status in the main campaign, where he ruled as King for very long and further helped Alberia prosper before it all started going downhill.

So...yeah. Euden as a possible literal manifestation of a eudaemon, eudaemonia and/or eudaemonist himself, anyone?

I wanted to quickly write out my feelings/thoughts on the song in Arcane’s new teaser trailer.

It could just be trailer music, but I believe Arcane Season 1’s trailer used Dirty Little Animals; so, it doesn’t seem farfetched to say this song will be in Season 2.

I just really loved the song.

It fit with what we see in the trailer as well as certain things I want for S2.

The music has a religious quality to it, not so much it’s like a hymn but with the chanting or choir, it feels very much – invoking a bigger force than one’s self, a calling to something bigger.

I also love that it's children singing, because again, the vibe I'm getting is a calling of arms.

Piltover abandoned Zaun’s children and while we’re obviously not going to only see children fighting Piltover; we are going to see a lot of young people going against Piltover or fighting for Zaun.

Which shows the true power imbalance and the injustice of it all. Piltover might think they’re doing what’s right and acting in the name of justice, but they’re just doing what they’ve always done -

They're putting the Undercity back in its place, back in the ground where they belong, because how dare they think they can attack them. How dare they start a war unprovoked.

The thing is, they're not just fighting evil chembarons or scary chem-tanks; but innocent people as well who have every right to hate and distrust them.

I can imagine there being a scene of someone (Caitlyn being very likely) telling people that Jinx is lying to them and this is all because of her...

But they're not going to reach a single person.

I also doubt Jinx is going to lie or really go out of her way to be anyone’s icon. Most likely she’s just going to be Jinx and look whether or not people should look to her as a savior, is certainly a valid discussion, but not one Piltover gets to have any say in. Because yeah, of course people would look to Jinx; she hurt Piltover.

The trailer is very much in the vein of Piltover and Noxus going against Zaun, taking a stand against them (against tyranny... okay Jan), gathering their forces, and all that...

But this time, it won't be the same.

With the vibes the song is giving, Jinx being this icon of liberation, and just who Jinx is in general – they’re not prepared for Jinx and Zaun. Ambessa is not prepared for Jinx or Zaun. Heimerdinger is not prepared for Jinx.

Caitlyn and Vi might be... but I sense some friction between those two is going to arise from that.

And yeah, the music just gives all of those vibes to me and is invoking so many thoughts.

Plus, music is so integral to Zaun, in a way that it’s not to Piltover. It’s everywhere. All the soundtrack’s songs (lyrics) are focused on Zaun characters or in Zaun scenes. The first scene is Powder singing clearly a folk song of sort, that’s all about asking Piltover for something as small as a penny and now, they're tired of asking.

Jinx didn't start this war. Piltover did.

Excuse my ramblings, I just really liked the song and it was just fitting with what I thought or hoped would happen. I could be completely wrong about all of this, but either way I’m super excited.

Splatoon Future: A Story Mode Concept

So a while back I had two ideas for future story campaign stories and there's this one that I (alongside others) really enjoy: the vigalante story. So for the past few days while working on some final plotpoint ideas for my OCs' Side Order story arc (speaking of Your Side of Order I might start working on the first chapter in a few days! might even release it on the 29th this month since Side Order will probably release a month from then), I've also been thinking about some concepts for the next story arc! So, this is what I've gotten so far...

So basically since Splatoon 3 is the end of the current story arc, we'll be moving away from the whole inklings v octolings conflict and shifting attention towards something else. But who could possibly be the next new big bad?

Easy. We make a long anticipated species of inkfish an actual thing in the game. WE INVOLVE THE CUTTLINGS IN THE NEXT ARC. I know, crazy but hear me out.

irl cuttlefish can hypnotize their prey with flashing colors and such, so having cuttlings as big bads wouldn't be so farfetched.

Plotwise, here's what I have in mind:

So the player opens up the game, right? Upon first glance, everything's alright. We got some cool new "idols" (heavy emphasis on the quotation marks; you'll see why in a bit), normal ass news report, ect.. BUT after the news, the idols give an emergency news report that finally doesn't have to do with the Great Zapfish: someone vanilized a statue celebrating the integration of octarians into inkling culture using a very specific symbol. The "idols" act suprised, and add that this is yet another case of vandilizm in a large strand of crimes involving defacing public property, specifically anything that has to do with inklings and octolings being together. And all these crimes have one thing in common: they all involve the same symbol being spray painted onto something. The news brodcast closes out and the player can move around the hub area. If they go to the statue that was vandilized (which is located in the middle of the hub area), they'll meet up with a few other NPCs (the characters you'll be accompanied by in the campaign) (as for who they could be I'll leave that to your imagination). One of them seems interested in the crime and wants to further explore the situation. The other NPCs agree and they ask you for your opinion (either way you start the story mode anyways). After selecting your answer & the NPCs talking a bit more, they all agree to meet up at another statue in the city to see if it'll get defaced.

Later at night, you meet up with the other NPCs and then a steakout is commenced. After waiting a while, a mysterious being shows up and is about to vandilize the statue. One of the NPCs wants to jump them and attempts to, only for the figure to somehow cause them to freeze before they could do anything. The figure runs away and the group chases after them. After a while, you're treated to the first boss of the game. Nothing too difficult, but it's challanging enough for a first boss fight. After beating the boss, it's revealed that the character is a being similar to the "idols" (i.e. not an inkling or an octoling). Before you can deal the final blow, the character causes everyone to freeze and then they super jump away. After that, one of the NPCs talks about wanting to see where the character is going, so you and the others follow the character into a strange underground area that leads to an underwater base (the story mode area, which can still be accessed through the statue in the hub). In each level, you and the NPCs duke it out with the cuttlings and more of their henchmen (which could probably include other inkfish enemies like vamplings, vampire squid inkfish), slowly figuring out what's going on with these peculiar inkfish.

(dunno what bosses the player could face so I'll leave this up to you guys for now)

Anyways, after duking it out with the cuttlings, the player will find out the story of the cuttlings. Basically they are another race of inkfish who, among other types of inkfish like vamplings (and maybe others if Nintendo wants to shake things up a bit), who were feared and ostrisized by the inklings and octolings for their strange abilities, and were forced into hiding in fear that ther species would be wiped out entirely. Many retreated into completely different hiding areas, with some hiding among other inklings and octolings in disquise and others just trying to stay away from other inkfish entirely, with one of the oldest civilizations of these inkfish making the underwater base of this story mode. These inkfish, unlike others who retreated to other parts of the world, hold a grudge against other inkfish who didn't go underwater with them (and of course against the inklings and octolings), and only now are the inkfish living in the base are planning to take over the surface by using their abilities to pin inklings and octolings against each other or just have them under their control so the cuttlings and other inkfish can have the life they want and to have them take revenge against their opressors, starting off by capturing their true current idols and replacing them with cuttlings posing as them.

In the end, the player and the NPCs save the idols and the player is faced with a choice: convince the cuttlings that things are different now and help them get along with other surface dwellers or have them stay in the base forever. After beating the campaign, the player will have the real idols in place of the fake ones (they can swap idols if they prefered one's music over another's, though). Also, the story is left wide open for exploring other types of inkfish and their cultures.

It's a sort of rough idea but hey it's a thought.

Headcanon Time...

All Wreck-It Ralph AUs/realities can exist on the same Earth with the right conditions!

Okay, so hear me out...

Now, the vast majority of us Wreck-It Ralph fans were not happy with the results of the sequel we got, AND FOR GOOD REASON!

There was so much wrong with the sequel, from inconsistencies with the original story to the sudden throwback in characters. I was so appalled by what we got that I found ways to consider it non-canon; one of these ways went as far as being a headcanon that this sequel was just a really bad fanfiction Candlehead wrote!

Then, there were many people that said, "well, what if this took place in a different arcade?". Now, they might have something there. There was no mention of Turbo in the new movie, the Sugar Rush game console is different, and doppelgangers are a thing, so maybe Litwak is actually a fully different person or a relative that runs a family business. Plus, the Internet is a wide place, so big that there was no way the sequel could capture and depict every part of it, so everything is possible!

But this goes beyond that... I am here to explain how you can fit your AUs into one world on top of this! I will use a couple of examples to give clearer explanations.

So, I have an OC that is from "Kingdom Hearts Union X", a mobile game that was once online- and once so great. If you are familiar with Kingdom Hearts, you know that they are a big crossover between Final Fantasy and Disney franchises, and Union X was the only KH game that has the Wreck-It Ralph world as a playable location. I have integrated my OC into my WIR roleplays numerous times, despite having lived out the events of the movie through her game. But how can that be possible? Doesn't it get awkward that she thinks she has these memories, but the others have no memory of her? Well, I have 2 reach arounds to combat this...

"The Simpsons" explanation! The Simpsons is so well known as a show, but not just for its revolutionary comedy, but for its "predictions"! Now, the farfetched explanation for how they could have so many accurate predictions is that "Matt Groening is a time traveler!". For the plausible explanation though, it could be said that "there are numerous possibilities in the world, and if you throw one out on the media, it is possible that it will come true". So if you were to write a story where you interact with the characters, but the movie already exists, you could explain it lore wise that Disney had bought licensing to these games, made a movie, and the events from that movie became a reality.

[KHUx OC] Coalette's character arc is similar to Buzz Lightyear. She is so ingrained into her false memories that she will eventually have to grow apart from them by interacting with the real characters in front of her. You could write something similar to this where AU characters meet their original counterparts and vice-versa!

Now, that could account for the potential plot hole of the events of the movie happening across multiple coordinates in the world, but you may think that there is another plothole when it comes to connecting AUs: Turbo. How could I possibly explain the same character from the same game getting greedy in the same way and manner across numerous arcades?...

Well, what if I told you my explanation for that was a flaw in Turbo-Time's programming? Think about it, we don't hear much of anything about Turbo in the sequel, not even mentioned or seen as merch or a fan favorite game, or even as a remastered/revival game anywhere on the Internet! You see, Turbo was programmed to be the "#1 racer" ever, and this held true for the first five years in arcade history. When newer, fancier racing games began to come out, Turbo would then feel his programming being challenged, causing him to go berserk and break into other racing games. What if this issue was common amongst ALL Turbo-Time consoles? They would have all been programmed the same way, so the moment arcades took notice to Turbo causing other racing games to crash and become corrupted, a nation-wide recall was issued on the consoles, preventing the game to become known amongst future generations. The surviving Turbos would remain in their arcades, and Turbo-Time would be put away as lost media. His story would only be a tale that those from before 1987 would be able to tell.

And there you have it, my explanation for connecting Wreck-It Ralph AUs and Realities together! Hope you have fun with world lore writing!

[tgrailwar-zero]

Extremely farfetched idea, but would it be possible to use Innocent Monster to incorporate Conductor into Avenger's Saint Graph? He's already more Grey Messenger and rumours of a deed that was never done than he is Salieri himself. Hell, it's even EX in Rank, and merged with Self-Denial (We may not know what that Skill does, exactly, but looking at the rest of the Self- Skills other Servants have, and what Innocent Monster does in general, I'd say we have a pretty good idea). It wouldn't be that out there if we were to add one more legend, especially if it was one of a Mozart that isn't quite dead or alive... Right?

As MOONCANCER stated, CONDUCTOR is registered as a foreign entity. Saint Graph Integration may have unknown and unintended effects, but may be attempted at a later period of time when attention can be fully put towards the process.

Hirogaru Sky! Precure Episode 15 Review: Sky Land Arc Ends

NOBODY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WOULD BE A TWO-PARTER! I THOUGHT THE SKY LAND ARC WAS GOING TO BE 12 EPISODES! WHAT? However, I cannot deny this episode was AMAZING! I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole episode.

This episode shows how terrifying Battamonda is compared to Kabaton. Kabaton was like Lv. 1. Battamonda is like Lv. 5! The way Battamonda is actually a lot more sinister shows that the Underg Empire is NOT playing around this time. It’s getting serious! Like, he might get Ranborgs to fight for him, but he’s also ready to throw hands if necessary. He slapped Tsubasa and knocked him out and even cursed the King and Queen just to get to Ellee. Fortunately, his timidity still surfaces when Sky gives him an off-screen glare so terrifying that it caused him to retreat.

Like, Battamonda is such a threat to the kingdom to the point that the bomb Ranborg won two fights before getting purified. It beat Cure Wing off screen and it caused Captain Shalala to sacrifice herself just so Sora can get a boost in power. I almost cried when watching this scene. The uneasiness I had with Shalala throughout the last episode vanished as she became more likable in this episode only for the writers to take her away this quickly. Remember that Captain Shalala is the strongest soldier in the kingdom. For her to sacrifice herself and her words of them meeting again definitely hints her return. My theory of her being a villain is not a farfetched one at all. Instead of her being in allegiance to the Empire, I think she’s going to return as a villain brainwashed by the Underg Empire and Sora will be conflicted. The swan motif shrouding Shalala is still very prevalent. She may have her swan song with her sacrifice, but she will return as a black swan of sorts in the future. I can sense it.

Even if they won the fight with the Ranborg, nobody truly won. Battamonda cursed the King and Queen into an eternal slumber, essentially leaving Ellee defenseless if not for the Precures coming to her rescue. Shalala is gone, leaving Sora conflicted. While she hopes to meet her again, we all know it’s not going to be pretty when it does.

This episode shows that the Precures aren’t truly invincible and that they still have much to learn. If the villain can create a Ranborg that even Sky and Prism had struggled with, it means that they need more power to stop the Underg Empire. They’re going to need either a trio power or essentially a way for Cure Butterfly to be integrated into the story so that they can have a group power.

I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Precures as they return to Sorashido City to find an answer to getting rid of the curse. I do wonder if Battamonda will invade Earth just to find Princess Ellee and if he does, it’s definitely not going to be a pretty sight with the amount of damage he did—even more than Kabaton did.

[acourtofthought]

Your last post led me to check out Reddit & I have regrets haha. I did not expect it to be so pro-Elriel. Or at least so nasty towards people who don’t want Elriel. The lightsinger theory seems popular there, too, which prompts my ask. The way most of the lightsinger arguments are presented (Gwyn knowingly being evil) — what purpose does that even serve other than to tear down one ship and prop up another? There’s already enough villains in the story with Koschei, Beron, and the remaining queens. Why add another — especially one integral to Nesta’s healing journey? Not to mention the character credited with becoming the first of the reborn Valkyrie. Doesn’t make any sense to me, except to invalidate the possibility that what Az was feeling at the end of the BC was a mating bond. Because seriously, Gwyn using her lightsinger powers to get someone to gift her a necklace? That she doesn’t even know exists? But, oh! Elain knows a dangerous lightsinger is in the library & gives Azriel earbuds instead of telling literally anyone anything. Just saying that out loud sounds silly. These characters are more than their romantic interests! And I know SJM made Tamlin a jerk in the Tamlin/Feyre/Rhys triangle, but I can’t see her pitting two women against each other or making it an easy choice by having one option suddenly evil. I’ve seen a lot of Elriels say Eluciens or Gwynriels haven’t read the books or can’t understand what they’re reading, but some on that side are just vilifying the threats to their ship instead (or even inadvertently vilifying Elain if she knows of a major threat and says nothing). That’s definitely enough Reddit-ing for me!

Reddit and Tik Tok, those be war zones! 😬😂

Gwyn, not Elain, was given mating bond terminology with Azriel. Az might have questioned why both Mor and Elain weren't his mate but again Gwyn (not Elain), is the one who SJM dropped clues for the possibility of sharing an actual bond with him.

So why would SJM give Az a mating bond with an "evil" female? We know Az has self esteem issues, something like that would mess him up even more than he already is.

They then love the theory that she's manipulating him but that would read as:

"Why isn't Mor my mate after loving her for centuries?"

"Why wasn't Elain my mate since her sisters are with my brothers?"

"Oh thank the Cauldron, Gwyn I've shown admiration for is my mate! I am worthy!"

"Gwyn tricked me and I again have no mate".

Actually, "Elain IS my true mate!

It gets a bit ridiculous when some in the fandom don't realize how farfetched certain theories sound.

I have to say it but Az isn't some super special prize that a female needs to trick her way into his good graces 😂. What exactly would she be accomplishing? Ianthe (because some try to claim they're related 🤔) went after Lucien and Rhys because they were the son of a High Lord and a High Lord and she was after what their name and positions could do for her.

Az might be powerful but his name doesn't hold any weight anywhere except bringing fear to the Night Courts enemies. Being with Az doesn't "open up" any doors to her.

Also, why would Gwyn return to the library after the Rite which limits her access to Az if she were in fact trying to manipulate Az? Wouldn't we see her spending all her time at the HOW in hopes of seeing Azriel there? The more like scenario is that Gwyn is not trying to manipulate anyone and is still working on overcoming her traumas. Which we'll see more of in her book with Az.

And why would SJM give Nesta a friend who was responsible (along with Emerie though Gwyn came along first) for helping her overcome her depression, only to have her turn evil? How would that make any sense when Nesta's pov is over?

And yeah, it's ludicrous that anyone thinks Elain would give Az a GAG GIFT, really a secret coded message warning him of the danger he's in rather than just telling him of the danger he's in 🤦

Where Vintage Fashion and Tech Collide...

Hello y’all!

Vestiaire Collective’s latest resale launch on 15th Oct., 2024 sent people into a frenzy with their $15 luxury bag collection. Imagine being able to own a vintage Coach or Chanel bag for $15?! Insane, I know.

But more interestingly, according to an article by Fashion Dive, the company also recently hired a new Chief Tech and Product Office, Stacia Carr, to enhance its AI capabilities as a strategic move in the fashion resale industry. 

The article also mentions a recent report from OfferUp which found that the recommerce market is projected to reach $291.6 billion by 2029, and resale is expected to account for 8% of total retail by then, which means that as secondhand fashion market continues to grow rapidly, platforms like Vestiaire Collective are investing in AI and Gen AI to stay competitive and meet rising consumer expectations. 

This development also comes amid the increasing integration of technology, particularly AI, in the fashion industry. It is shaping how consumers shop, interact with brands, and perceive value. 

Vestiaire Collective’s decision to focus on AI demonstrates a recognition of the scalability and efficiency AI offers in managing large inventories. The resale market operates differently from traditional retail in that it handles unique, secondhand items that vary in condition and provenance. By employing AI, platforms can automate tasks such as product authentication, price optimization, and personalized recommendations to reduce operational costs and maximize profitability. 

For instance, AI algorithms can help predict market trends and identify which items will sell faster, allowing for dynamic pricing models that reflect real-time demand and supply. This leads to more efficient inventory management, which is crucial in a highly competitive market where margins can be thin.

But it does not end there. On the consumer side, AI can be used to improve conversion rates and customer satisfaction. With its ability to tailor search results and suggest products based on a shopper’s previous activity, AI-driven personalization allows consumers to discover products that align more closely with their style, reducing the overwhelming nature of browsing large inventories. 

AI-powered chatbots already assist customers with inquiries, which ensure speedy customer service and reduced wait times. This creates a more engaging, seamless shopping experience that keeps consumers returning. 

AI can also lead to higher average order values, often nudging consumers toward more expensive complementary items by aligning personalized recommendations with their preferences. For Vestiaire Collective, this is vital in an increasingly crowded marketplace where differentiation as well as personalization is key to retaining customers. 

Other fashion retail platforms, such as Farfetch and The RealReal, have also been using AI to drive economic growth, particularly through enhanced consumer experiences.

Farfetch, for example, has developed AI-powered virtual try-ons, which allow consumers to visualize how clothing will fit without trying it on physically. This not only reduces the return rate, a costly issue in online retail, but also increases consumer confidence in purchasing, leading to higher sales.

Similarly, The RealReal, a luxury resale platform, uses AI for authentication, ensuring that consumers trust the quality and legitimacy of secondhand goods. This trust directly impacts the economic viability of resale platforms by attracting consumers who might otherwise hesitate to buy pre-owned items due to concerns about counterfeits.

However, there are also concerns about the potential downsides, such as the loss of human touch in customer service and the over-reliance on algorithms, which can sometimes misinterpret consumer preferences. Despite these concerns, the economic advantages for both businesses and consumers are evident, as AI helps streamline operations and provide more tailored shopping experiences.

I think Vestiaire Collective’s AI integration is another step toward the merger of the fashion and tech worlds for overall economic growth and consumer engagement. As AI continues to evolve, its role in shaping the future of fashion retail will likely expand, offering both opportunities and challenges for businesses and consumers alike. 

So did anyone get their hands on a bag from Vestiaire Collective’s sale?! Let me know how your experience of using the platform was in the comments below!

Until next time,

Cheers!

Marketplace Integration for Luxury Suppliers: Enhancing High-End Retail in the Digital Age

In the rapidly evolving retail landscape, luxury suppliers are increasingly looking towards marketplace integration as a way to modernize and expand their reach. Marketplace integration refers to the seamless connection between a supplier’s inventory and online marketplaces where products are sold. For luxury suppliers, this approach offers a unique opportunity to blend exclusivity with digital convenience. This blog explores how marketplace integration is transforming the luxury sector and what suppliers need to know to leverage this trend effectively.

What is Marketplace Integration?

Marketplace integration involves linking a supplier’s product inventory with various online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, or niche luxury platforms like Farfetch or Net-a-Porter. Marketplace integration for luxury suppliers allows suppliers to manage their listings, inventory, and orders from a single platform, streamlining operations and enhancing visibility.

Benefits for Luxury Suppliers

Expanded Market Reach: Traditional luxury retail often involves a physical presence in select locations, which can limit market access. By integrating with online marketplaces, luxury suppliers can tap into international markets without the need for a physical store. This expanded reach helps brands attract new customers and grow their global footprint.

Streamlined Operations: Marketplace integration simplifies this process by centralizing inventory management. Suppliers can update product information, track stock levels, and process orders from a single interface. This efficiency reduces the risk of overselling or stockouts and ensures a smoother operational workflow.

Enhanced Brand Visibility: Luxury brands traditionally rely on exclusivity and a high-touch customer experience. Integrating with marketplaces allows these brands to showcase their products to a broader audience while maintaining control over brand presentation. Suppliers can use marketplace features like enhanced product listings, high-quality images, and detailed descriptions to highlight their luxury offerings effectively.

Challenges to Consider

While marketplace integration offers numerous benefits, luxury suppliers must navigate several challenges to ensure a successful transition:

Maintaining Brand Integrity: Luxury brands are usually associated with high-end craftsmanship and exclusivity. When integrating with online marketplaces, suppliers must ensure that their brand image remains intact. This means selecting marketplaces that align with the brand’s values and maintaining strict quality control over product listings and customer interactions.

Managing Relationships with Marketplaces: Marketplace integration for luxury suppliers requires strong relationships with platform operators. Luxury suppliers need to ensure that their marketplace partners can uphold the high standards of service expected in the luxury sector. Clear communication and well-defined agreements are essential to managing these relationships effectively.

Ensuring a Seamless Customer Experience: A critical aspect of luxury retail is the customer experience. Suppliers must ensure that the integration with marketplaces does not compromise the high level of service that luxury consumers expect.

Best Practices for Successful Integration:

Choose the Right Marketplaces: Every marketplace cannot be considered equal. Luxury suppliers should carefully select platforms that align with their brand’s image and target audience. Niche luxury marketplaces often offer a more curated and relevant audience compared to larger, general marketplaces.

Invest in Quality Listings: High-quality product listings are crucial for attracting and retaining customers. Suppliers should invest in creating detailed, visually appealing listings that reflect the luxury nature of their products.

Monitor and Adapt: Marketplace integration is a continuous activity rather than a one-time setup. Suppliers should continuously monitor their performance on different platforms, analyze sales data, and adapt their strategies as needed.

The Future of Marketplace Integration for Luxury Suppliers

As digital retail continues to evolve, marketplace integration will likely become an increasingly important strategy for luxury suppliers. By embracing Marketplace integration for luxury suppliers, you can enhance your operational efficiency, expand their market reach, and deliver a compelling shopping experience to a global audience. With careful planning and execution, this approach can help luxury brands thrive in the digital age while maintaining the high standards that define their reputation.

Fashion Forward: Brands Leading The AI Revolution

In the dynamic nexus of technology and fashion, an unprecedented revolution is unfolding, reshaping how we perceive, acquire, and engage with fashion. The democratization of style, powered by technological advancements, has opened fashion doors to a global audience no longer confined to the elite precincts of designers. With these changes comes a broad range of questions related to materials used and processed in the industry or even how brands leverage AI in fashion in the evolution of e-commerce. AI plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing fashion, from personalized recommendations to supply chain optimization, ushering in a new era of innovation and efficiency.

The Impact of Technology on Fashion

The advent of social media and e-commerce has shattered the traditional barriers to fashion, heralding an era where style is no longer the prerogative of a select few. This digital renaissance has catalyzed a more inclusive fashion landscape where diverse voices contribute to the ever-evolving tapestry of global style. Influencers and bloggers, leveraging the power of social platforms, now dictate trends and champion sustainable and ethical fashion movements, underscoring a shift towards more conscious consumption.

Sustainability and Innovation

The foundation of any successful marketing strategy is the establishment of clear, measurable objectives that are directly aligned with the startup's overarching business goals. For AI startups, these objectives range from lead generation and customer acquisition to brand awareness and user engagement. Setting these goals requires a deep understanding of the startup's value proposition, target market, and the unique challenges and opportunities AI presents.

The Rise of AI and Data-Driven Fashion

Data analytics and AI are revolutionizing fashion by providing insights into consumer behavior, enabling brands to tailor their offerings to meet the market's ever-changing demands.

Real-time data analysis allows for agile responses to trends, as seen in fast fashion's rapid production cycles. Moreover, personalized recommendations powered by machine learning enhance the shopping experience, making it more tailored and engaging for consumers.

In 2023, several fashion brands embraced AI to revolutionize their operations. Burberry used AI algorithms to analyze customer data for tailored product recommendations, enhancing the shopping journey. Adidas employed AI to streamline manufacturing, improving efficiency and reducing lead times. Farfetch integrated AI into its platform for personalized styling suggestions, based on preferences and browsing history. These brands showcased AI's potential to drive growth, efficiency, and superior customer experiences in fashion.

Transforming E-commerce with Technology

The fusion of AI with e-commerce has revolutionized the shopping experience by enabling unparalleled personalization. AI tailors product recommendations and marketing strategies by analyzing individual behavior and preferences, making consumer engagements more effective and personalized. This shift indicates e-commerce is evolving from a one-size-fits-all approach to offering curated experiences that resonate with each consumer's unique tastes and needs.

E-commerce's global landscape is marked by its rapid adaptation to digital transformation, emphasizing the importance of understanding and leveraging regional growth variations. Emerging markets, characterized by their unique consumer behaviors and preferences, present fertile ground for growth. Businesses are thus compelled to embrace digital tools and strategies to navigate the complexities of these markets effectively, ensuring they can tap into the vast potential these regions offer.

Digitalization has slashed geographical and language barriers, facilitating easier product discovery and verification for consumers. Advanced payment services, social media marketing, and 24/7 mobile sales have made e-commerce platforms more accessible and efficient. These advancements have boosted customer experience and streamlined operations, from supply chain management to data handling and demand forecasting. Anticipatory shipping, digital supply chain optimization, and personalized marketing represent some of the groundbreaking changes in the e-commerce industry.

The Influence of Technology on Consumer Behavior

Technology has transformed consumer behavior, connecting individuals and empowering them to research products, engage with brands, and make purchases anytime, anywhere. This shift raises expectations for companies to provide responsive, relevant, and personalized interactions to thrive in a rapidly evolving market.

The proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and wearables has created a multi-device consumer journey, where shoppers seamlessly transition between devices. To meet evolving consumer expectations, businesses must implement an omnichannel strategy for consistent, personalized experiences across all devices.

Today's consumers compare shopping experiences not only among direct competitors but also with digital pioneers like Amazon and Netflix, expecting immediate, tailored engagement. To avoid losing sales and brand abandonment, businesses must leverage tools like marketing automation software and AI-powered chatbots for high-quality, on-demand experiences.

To stay competitive, companies must anticipate and adapt to emerging technological trends like IoT and 5G. The influence of technology on consumer behavior drives continuous innovation to exceed expectations and retain market share.

Consumer Shifts and Preferences

The evolution in consumer priorities towards travel and outdoor activities drives lifestyle brands to innovative heights. Embracing this trend, companies are developing products and services that support an active, outdoor lifestyle, leveraging technology to enhance functionality and user experience. Brands are integrating intelligent technologies into outdoor gear and creating travel-friendly products, aiming to merge convenience with adventure, reflecting the modern consumer's desire for experiences that combine the thrill of exploration with the comforts of technology.

The Role of Authenticity and Influence

The shift towards authenticity reshapes the influence landscape, with consumers valuing genuine, relatable content over traditional advertising. Social media platforms have become pivotal in this change, enabling influencers to share their experiences with products and lifestyles. This authenticity drives deeper connections and trust between consumers and brands, prompting companies to adopt more transparent, authentic marketing strategies. Influencers who embody the brands' values and lifestyles play a crucial role in shaping consumer perceptions and preferences, underlining the importance of authenticity in the digital age.

Challenges and Considerations

In 2024, the fashion industry grapples with economic, and geopolitical uncertainties, environmental concerns, and the imperative for digital transformation. Collaboration and resilience are crucial for brands to navigate fluctuating demands and respond to renewed consumer interest. Embracing technological advancements, particularly generative AI, is essential for enhancing creativity, operational efficiency, and compliance, driving the industry towards sustainability and ethical practices.

Economic and Geopolitical Uncertainties

The fashion industry grapples with significant challenges stemming from geopolitical instability, economic volatility, and inflation. In 2023, climate disasters, geopolitical unrest, and financial uncertainties disrupted the fashion supply chain, impacting consumer confidence. According to McKinsey, CEOs in the fashion industry cite geopolitical uncertainty, economic volatility, and inflation as major growth risks.

Adaptability and Resilience

Amid uncertainties, fashion businesses must prioritize adaptability and resilience. The upheavals of 2023 highlighted the need for collaborative efforts and resilient partnerships between manufacturers and brands. To cope with demand fluctuations, brands can enhance transparency, pursue longer-term contracts, and invest in digital technologies for demand forecasting. This collaborative approach improves resilience and enables businesses to quickly scale up production to meet surging demand.

Sustainability and Ethical Imperatives

Sustainability remains a critical challenge in 2024, with the fashion industry's significant carbon footprint. Consumers increasingly seek transparency and accountability, with many willing to pay more for sustainable items. Brands can address this by adopting transparent supply chains, prioritizing quality, embracing sustainable materials, and utilizing virtual fitting technologies to reduce waste. Ethical practices throughout the supply chain are crucial for building trust and promoting responsible consumption.

Technological Integration and Innovation

Technology continues to drive change in the fashion industry, offering avenues for innovation and efficiency. Generative AI holds promise in revolutionizing product design and advancing sustainability efforts. With 73% of fashion executives prioritizing generative AI in 2024, its potential for enhancing collaboration, transparency, and sustainability across the value chain is evident. Additionally, digital solutions like Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems enable streamlined product development, compliance enforcement, and lifecycle monitoring, ultimately bolstering operational efficiency and supporting sustainability goals and regulatory compliance.

The fashion industry in 2024 faces economic volatility and sustainability concerns, but opportunities for growth and innovation persist. Despite challenges, technological advancements and evolving consumer behaviors continue to drive industry evolution.

Looking ahead, technology will play a crucial role in shaping fashion's future, aiding sustainability efforts and meeting evolving consumer preferences. Embracing these changes ensures the industry's resilience and thriving in an ever-evolving global landscape.

You know how they say birds aren't real?

(It's me, I'm they)

This is a sentiment from a certain anxiety generally attributed to birds, that it is okay to lay waste on them because of their ability to fly.

They are the descendants of the earth, and are the evolution of the Dinosaurs. They may have laid waste on us and what we evolved from being as a civilization.

There is an increase on the number of aware people who seem to have rationalized what they see into a justification to lay waste in reciprocity, in all levels of society. There are so many things enabling the mistreatment of the chain links themselves which allows life to be lived as it is.

There are acknowledgements between those who live knowing this, and end up choosing to take care of those around themselves, a society bound on mutual respect and acknowledgement of the circumstances everyone shares. These communities are what's truly at the core of enabling current modern conditions, making the best of what we already have to work on seeing a better tomorrow. These acknowledgements, acknowledged by the knowledged, serve to set the tone, or frequency that we generate, and it is often a result of what they are given to work with in the first place, which is why this acknowledged acknowledgement is seen reflected so differently in so many places acknowledging the same acknowledgement(s).

Birds are seen as not real because of the way in which they see the world. Their eyes work differently than ours do, they se the electromagnetic spectrum, how it is interpreted is unique to the bird, but the ability to percieve it in the visual field could be integrated into the eye to make it be able to experience how it is seen by a bird, however it is argued here that the human body is able to sense the electromagnetic spectrum in a way unique to their own experience, and does not need to be felt like a bird would, but it could nevertheless be useful in the study of birds. The same way a bat's perception of the world is drastically different from ours, it's difficult to imagine how any one being sees everything, as we can only account for what you know and believe to be true based on all available information.

This difference in perspective is so fundamental to the human bird relationship that leads many of the "Birds not real" arguments for why these differences compared to their own are so vastly different from our own that they must be classified as "fake" or, "not real", by those who may have seen some of those differences at work, leading to that conclusion.

This is something that has been having a lot of developments, as emulating the way in which certain animals see the world has been a field with recent developments. These very developments can help in explain how it would apply to multiple scenarios and displayed for viewing and interpretation. Birds can see things pertaining to an individual that are normally outside of our eyes' capabilities of seeing, which can lead to sensing without seeing, and be classified as a disorder of sorts depending on the case.

Birds (Dinos) in this case, have access to hidden information from one another, can sense it, and in a way manipulate it to some degree, but because of it they are jokingly or sometimes not jokingly associated to being able to work with the government branches interested in these things yield a closer association to the not real side of the argument.

Whether any intelligence agency could tap into that visual field of information is true is not verifiable, but an acknowledgement of the existence of that information would be a pursuit that could open a door of knowledge that would otherwise not be achievable, and could be seen as a realistic goal of a given field given funding is adequate for many of our very own organizations, it's not farfetched to think that this could be possible, if it isn't already.

Birds I think aren't accomplices of the process, but could serve as unwilling hosts of information that can be extracted through those means alone, they don't choose to be cameras, they simply end up being seen as their function rather than their form by the paranoids, causing a detachment from empathy towards them.

The same would be true of a phone not being real, yet we seem to care more about the functionality of phones, but we don't depend on birds the same way we do on phones, or commodity in general, which is part of the great disparity that the reality status of birds ends up being brought to question, an inability to comprehend one another within a self serving mentality, which is encouraged and permeated through modern society, almost as if to limit its access, to fear it, and that's fundamentally wrong, while sustaining all what we are trying to hold up together through our acknowledgements, it's is natural to fear the loss of the reliance we sought to harbor within our communities of acknowledgers, yet we cannot grow while fear is at the helm of the hosts.

Birds are real, but I had to see them as not real to understand how it is that they are real. And they're so real for that <3
