Overview of the Fuel Crisis in 2022

In 2022, the world experienced a major Fuel Crisis that affected many people and businesses. This problem arose from several issues. First, the COVID-19 pandemic had already disrupted the global economy. As countries began to recover, the demand for fuel surged, but the supply couldn't keep up. Oil-producing countries had reduced their production during the pandemic, and when demand went up again, they found it hard to increase production quickly. This imbalance caused a fuel shortage and led to higher prices at gas stations.

The fuel crisis had a big impact on daily life. For businesses like Petrosoft, which makes software for petrol pumps, things got really tough. As fuel prices went up, it became harder to manage and track fuel sales. Customers felt the squeeze of higher fuel costs and changed how they used fuel. Some started driving less or chose cars that use less fuel to save money. Because of this, petrol stations had to quickly adjust how they managed their fuel supply and set their prices.

The rise in fuel prices also impacted other industries. Transportation costs went up because trucks, ships, and planes had to pay more for fuel. These higher costs were passed on to consumers, making goods and services more expensive. Businesses had to change their pricing to handle these new costs, and many struggled to keep their budgets in check.

DAY 4: Boss!Char x Serious assistant!Reader; semi-public sex.

◟♡ ˒ ʾʾ — Your Boss who finds his cute assistant super cute, how you manage to look so serious outside but sinful inside. He'd shove a vibrator inside you and make you give a presentation— asking you questions while his hand messes with the remote in his pocket. He smirks at your attempts at talking to him and pretending everything is fine— you're failing miserably.

◟♡ ˒ ʾʾ — Your boss who makes you sit on his lap and cock warm him as he talks to a client. The client thinks, ‘Such a cute couple you both are’ but who's gonna tell them he isn't listening to a single word from the client because he's busy focusing on how good you feel!

◟♡ ˒ ʾʾ — Your boss who makes you sit under his desk and suck him off while he works, occasionally patting your head or giving you praises on how good you're doing. Though you can bet he's gonna forget his work soon and tangle his fingers in your hair and guide you— how could he ignore a pretty little thing like you?

◟♡ ˒ ʾʾ — Your Boss who invites you home for dinner, only to bend you over the dining table and fuck your brains out till you can't even walk straight. He says you're a five star meal anyway, who cares if the food fell off?

◟♡ ˒ ʾʾ — Your boss who makes you wear a short skirt just so he can admire the ‘nice’ view. Telling you to pick up things from the ground he purposely dropped or to stand on your tiptoes to get an item from the shelf, giving him a small peek of your underwear. <3

Whoever fits.

I asked on twitter a while ago to describe my art style so I could do the "evil art style challenge" and... it is just pastel animal crossing

[thatdeadaquarius]

the pspspsps effectively got me. Im in. You’ve got me hooked. Now I present the new idea I just got for the language barrier au. You know how the genshin names have different meanings in different language like how Ei apparently means egg in german? Imagine speaking in another language/you native language and one of the words sounds really similar to one of the character’s names or just straight up is their name, so they ask why you call them but you’re not calling that character but are actually saying smth else like egg.

I think i talked abt this sometime ago in 2023 masterpost, so i felt more inclined to share some shitty art of how i imagine these moments go instead lmao

(it should be very assumed atp that i am so so SO sorry i took forever to reply!! /gen)

sorry its just my art 😅

Safe Travels Anon,

💀♒

I feel bad tagging ppl for smth kinda small?? and its just my art not even a writing blurb - srry guys just thought smth better than nothing, more to come!

Yandere!Alhaitham x Endangered Animal Hybrid!Reader...

It starts off innocently enough. After escaping a group of Treasure Hoarders looking to sell you off to whoever would pay the most, you find yourself lost in Gandharva Ville for several days until Tighnari finds you. Knowing that you're at risk of being poached due to your rarity, but also knowing that keeping you—a feral, dangerous, and intelligent being—in close proximity to Collei is a bad idea, the Forest Ranger writes to Alhaitham asking him to house you and keep an eye on you.

After several letters sent back and forth over the course of days, it only takes a little bit of begging on Tighnari's part to convince Alhaitham to look after you for a month. Soon enough, you're moving in and sulking around the confines of your new "home", a pout on your face at the fact that you can't escape. After all, for all your strength and agility, Alhaitham possesses a vision and a powerful intellect. You're outmatched.

Despite your attitude, Alhaitham pays you little mind. He makes sure you're fed, hydrated, and healthy, but rarely speaks more than one or two sentences at a time when talking to you. Over the days, the two of you warm up to one another a little, but nothing noticeable changes in the Scribe's demeanor.

Until he comes home one day to you sitting on a sofa, a book plucked from his personal collection spread on your lap. An Introductory Guide to Zoology, the title reads. After a moment, your ears perk up, registering the door creaking. In a flash, you turn to face him, shock painted bright red across your face.

For a few seconds, all you can hear is the battering ram that is your heartbeat smashing against your mind, chastising you for being so stupid. Now you'd be thrown out and defenseless, with plenty of dangerous people who'd jump at the chance to earn a pretty penny by pawning off a rare hybrid such as yourself.

"S-sorry," you say, shaky hands shutting the cover. But before you can, Alhaitham is quick to grab hold of the book, keeping it open.

He's so close to you, to the point where you can see the rise and fall of his chest, the sheen of sweat on his forehead from walking home in the warm weather, the pure intrigue in his eyes at this new discovery.

You intrigue him.

His eyes narrow slightly. "I didn't know you could read?" He glances at the text, discerning what exactly you're studying—if you are studying at all, that is.

You nod. "I learned when I was very young," you say, your own eyes slowly falling to the floor, willing this conversation to be over. Luckily, the divine seem to answer your prayer and Alhaitham simply shrugs and walks away.

Little do you know, the spark of curiosity he allowed you to see had already grown into a roaring fire, burning with the desire to know you. He could hardly call his interest rational, though he does his best to find justifications and act like he believes them.

The month flies by, and you continue to believe that all is well in the world. You've just begun looking through your few belongings, trying to decide what to keep and what to get rid of before you move out, when Alhaitham enters the doorway. "Tighnari told me that you plan to leave in less than a week."

Looking up from the knick-knacks you own, you turn to Alhaitham. "Yeah. I was planning to go back to Gandharva Ville and live there for a few months," you say, your attention beginning to shift back to your possessions. Conversations with Alhaitham mostly ended after one or two sentences, and you had no reason to believe that this conversation would be any different.

"About that." Alhaitham's voice breaks through your focus like glass. "There have been reports from the Matra of increased poaching in the areas around Gandharva Ville. I'm not forcing you to stay, and neither is Tighnari, but we won't be able to protect you there as well as we can here," he says.

You frown. You had been looking forward to leaving for so long now, tired of being cooped up inside Alhaitham's home with only brief walks outside—under the Acting Grand Sage's supervision, of course—to break up the boredom, only to learn that it would be dangerous to leave the city.

"I...I suppose if it's okay, I'd like to stay," you say after a moment of mental debate.

For a moment, you swear you can see the corners of Alhaitham's lips quirk upwards.

"I'll inform Tighnari of your decision as soon as possible." As per usual, after a moment of silence, Alhaitham walks away.

Time seems to fly by in increasingly rapid intervals. One week becomes two. Two weeks becomes four. Four weeks becomes eight, and so on and so forth. You slowly find yourself ensnared by Alhaitham's careful, subtle manipulation. Gandharva Ville really isn't overrun with poachers, but with how sheltered you are, you don't know that.

And week by week, day by day, you don't realize it but Alhaitham is slowly working to decode you. What about you fascinates him so deeply? As he studies you like he would one of his projects, he only finds himself falling deeper and deeper into obsession, an inescapable loop of positive feedback.

The realization comes to him one night, as dreams of you dance in his head as he sleeps. Your hand brushing against his for only a moment. The empty space on the other side of his bed filled by you, his arms holding you close every night. The tender press of your lips against his. The kind of love that transcends human nature. The kind of love that is divine.

Alhaitham is in love.

And now that he knows it, he can't let you go. Luckily for him though, you'll never escape. After all, he's already domesticated you. It's only a matter of time before you learn to love him, too.
