𖹭. graceful, composed and has a certain effortlessness in everything that he does. a particular cool confidence even in that sweet smile of his

𖹭. has a certain charm to him and a charisma that has many head turning

𖹭.particularly dutiful and takes his responsibilities with pride

𖹭. do not be fooled, because behind that kind façade he can be especially deceptive. with a silver tongue and wit that one wouldn’t expect from such a kind looking face

𖹭. lets people believe that he is harmless and mistake his kindness for weakness. beings of corruption quake in his presence; for they know that behind those eyes of an angel lies a devil

𖹭. has a curiosity that he doesn’t always show and a certain yearning for the unknown

𖹭. behind that angelic smile and justice-seeking front, lies quite the cunning angel with a darker side he tries to hide. with twisted desires he is often ashamed of

𖹭. will fluster you at any point that he can. especially with his seemingly unintentional flirting. also lots of shameless touches. will cup your face and kiss you breathless until you’re whining for him

𖹭. dances you around the balcony of his citadel or stargazes with you whenever he has the chance

𖹭. always sure to bring you something back from the vast worlds and realms he travels to, as he is ever the type to spoil you

𖹭. can be quite possessive as a result of being alone for so long. should he feel as though someone is getting a bit too close for comfort, he has a habit of snatching your waist from behind and pressing kisses to your neck all while keeping eye contact with the perpetrator — or perhaps getting you to wear some of his signature jewellery

𖹭. pájaro luminoso: able to channel his powers into a burst of energy and turn into a large, elegant bird made of pure elemental light and fire

𖹭. dark magic: as he is a being of light, he is extremely susceptible to such things as dark and black magic. it weakens his abilities depending on the severity of it

𖹭. corrupt beings: similar to the dark magic point, corrupt beings tend to put his soul at unease. should these corrupt beings be of higher power to him, they can affect him in very negative ways and weaken his abilities

. ˚◞꒰relationships꒱

𖹭. zhào jìngyí: ward, boyfriend ( future )

𖹭. alessio agresta arias: ward, boyfriend ( future )

𖹭. copper resentment ( zhào talisen 164 ): close friend

𖹭. emerald mania ( alessio agresta 164 ): close friend

𖹭. talisen zhào: close friend ( earth 781)

𖹭. nadir gods: parents ( raised him )

𖹭. some zenith gods: parents ( raised him )

. ˚◞꒰story꒱

a glitch.

the favourite of the gods; raised by the hands of the divine — that is what makes our beloved angel, rishen, stand out. a high angel who carries out his duties with a smile of serenity. be he aiding the gods personally or sent out on missions across the multiverse.

an exceptional swordsman who only continues to grow in skill. a being of duty who works his way through admiral ranks, despite great critique. all while balancing his duties as a guardian angel to his would-be fated others.

an angel who yearns not only for love but for the truth of the underworld around him. secrets and mysteries he continues to uncover. a feeling in his chest that feels all to tight. buried by his incessant urge to protect and carry out his responsibilities.

yet beneath all those glimmers and smiles of kindness dwells a creature even he himself does not recognise. a swell of darkness that gnaws at his soul. bleeding out into his sharp smiles and eyes stares. a true devil in angel’s robes.

. ˚◞꒰extra꒱

𖹭. while he is not able to directly interact with the material plane, he can do so by taking on the form of certain animals — usually takes the form of a snow tit

𖹭. he is genderfluid and plays into this by swapping through different genders’ anatomy. his natural androgyny helps a lot with this

𖹭. he is omnilingual yet prefers the language of his cultures: spanish ( latin american ), hindi and tamil

𖹭. due to his pure nature and closeness to the gods, he is often sought out by evil beings who seek to turn him

𖹭. this however does not mean that rishen does not have his own dark thoughts, he has plenty yet tries to keep them to himself

Part 1 - Part 3

Piper adjusts the strap of her messenger bag on her shoulder as she rides up the escalator. This was the first morning she wasn't greeted with Merry’s cheerful expression as she walked into the Pizzaplex. Piper had been working in the daycare for almost a month at this point, she didn't need anyone to show her how to get there, but there was something odd about the bubbly blond being missing from her usual post. Typically, when Piper arrived, she was busy handing piles of maps to the line of Mapbots that were going through their daily pre-shift checks, wishing each of them a Faz-tastic day as they sped off. The Pizzaplex made Piper feel uneasy, being the only sign of life in such a massive space didn't feel right. She guessed she never really noticed that feeling with a friend by her side. She jumped out of the way of Staff bots that whizzed by her, carrying new boxes of neon balls over to the mini-golf course, bags of paper cups to El Chip’s. “Piper!” She nearly jumped out of her own skin when her voice was suddenly called. Her head snapped to the side, finding Merry heading in her direction. Piper froze in place, happy to see her friend, but terrified by the sight behind her. It was important to note that Merry was not a small woman. She stood around 5 '11, her whole body was broad and muscular from years of doing strenuous, physical labor, being the lead service technician here Piper could only imagine how strong Merry was. She would be willing to bet that Merry could crush her head like an egg with her bicep alone. So, at the sight of the hulking green alligator that sauntered behind her, absolutely dwarfing Merry, Piper had to stop herself from bolting to the daycare in search of safety.

“So this is the new DCA.” The Gator, she thinks his name was Montgomery, rumbles. “You didn't tell me she was cute.” He gazes at Piper hungrily, lips pulling back into a smile of sharp teeth. Piper swallows thickly, goosebumps erupting across her skin as she holds his leering gaze. There was a soft ‘tink’ of Merry slapping the animatronic’s arm.

“Stop it.” She shoots him a warning glance. “Piper, this is Monty. I figured I'd introduce him ahead of time since he’s going to be swinging by the daycare for a party later.”

“Yeah, I remember Sun telling me about that.” Her eyes stay subtly trained on Monty, not wanting to let him out of her sight. She could see him roll his eyes under his yellow and purple star shaped sunglasses.

“I thought you said it was just going to be me?” He mutters to Merry.

“Sun is going to be there to show Piper the ropes, okay? I know the two of you don't always see eye to eye-”

“That's an understatement.” He scoffs.

“As I was saying,” she cuts him off with an annoyed glare. “Try to get along.” Her expression softens as her attention turns back to Piper.

“It should be an easy day, you just have to keep them on schedule.” She reassures you. She groans as her pager beeps on her belt, she unclips it and quickly reads the message. “If it wasn't bad enough… first you have a golf ball lodged in your shoulder joint-” she trails off grumbling to herself. “Come on, I have to get you back to Gator Golf.” She waves for Monty to follow her. “We’ll catch up later, I want to hear all about your first party.” She smiles warmly at Piper, clapping her on the shoulder as she passes by.

“Guess I'll be seeing you later.” Monty winks at her as he passes by, quickly snapping his jaws in her direction so that she would get startled. He chuckles at her expression, giving Piper one final wave before he follows after Merry. Piper makes the rest of the trip to the daycare in silence, the whole interaction with Monty not sitting right with her. She sits on one of the brightly colored wooden benches in the daycare’s lobby for a moment. Piper remembers other men she had issues with in the past who started out acting like Monty just had with her. Being backed into office corners, trying not to gag from their coffee stained breaths as they stood too close to her. It took her years to shake the ex coworker who had started stalking her after she rejected him. She shook the thought from her head. She discarded her messenger bag in the staff only room before flinging herself down the slide with growing familiarity. She clatters into the ball pit, letting the feeling of the cool plastic pressing into her skin ground her from a moment as she allows herself to lay there. She hears Sundrop’s long, even strides approach her.

“Good morning Piper!” He greets her cheerily, pausing when he sees the agitated look on her face. “Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, just had a weird interaction this morning.” She explains with a sigh. “I think I just need a minute to level myself out.” When she spoke again Sun noticed the unmistakable tremor in her voice, she was nervous. He sits down on the edge of the ball pit, not wanting to risk overwhelming her by invading her space, he figured it would be best to let her decide whether or not she would come to him.

“Why does she look scared?” Moon’s voice rattles in the back of Sun’s head.

“Did something happen?” If he found out someone had hurt you-

“Have you ever met someone and the whole interaction just feels off?” Before he had a chance to fly too far off the handle she spoke up, the sound of her voice reminding him that this was about her, he needed to make sure she was okay before anything else. “I know I probably sound stupid, but just the way he looked at me… I don't know.” She glances to the side at the sound of plastic clattering against plastic. Sun was currently wading into the ball pit in her direction.

“Sunbeam,” he crouches down next to her, a look of concern painted across his features. Piper had to resist the urge to reach out for him, he was the only thing that seemed to provide any comfort to her at the moment. “I want to make you feel better, but for the life of me I can't seem to think of how I can do that.” He lets out a soft chuckle.

“He called me cute,” his entire body froze as he remembered Moon calling her pretty the first day they met. “It made me feel gross, I don't know how else to describe it.” He carefully retracted the appendage that rested closest to her, the temptation of taking her much smaller hand in his own flashing through his mind, but he knew that's the last thing she probably wanted right now.

“I’m sorry-”

“Sunny, why are you apologizing for something he did?” His eyes finally met hers, perfect blue little ponds that stood out like sapphires against her pale complexion.

“Well it's just, the day you started, Moon called you pretty. We just don't want you feeling gross about us, too.” He explains in an almost embarrassed tone. Piper sits up, stumbling slightly as the balls threaten to send her crashing to the floor beneath them. She maneuvers herself closer to him, putting herself directly into his line of sight.

“I need both of you to listen to me.” Her tone was firm, Sun had never seen her be so serious before. “Sunny, Moon, you are both wonderful. I look forward to coming here everyday because I get to see you. I don't think you're gross.” She chuckles as she reassures them. Her cheeks grew warm as she continued, “if anything I’m flattered that you think I'm pretty.” She smiles bashfully at them, causing him to feel that strange pang in his chest again. “He made me feel small… objectified…” She carefully chooses her words, not exactly sure what the passing comment from Monty made her feel but it was definitely somewhere in the neighborhood of what she was trying to articulate to Sun. “The two of you have never made me feel that way.” She finishes quietly, her eyes averting from his. He shifts slightly, wanting to pull her into a hug. Before he had a chance to agonize over asking for her permission or to just let it go, Piper made the decision for him. She pushes forward, wrapping her arms around his slim torso, his metal body cool against her burning cheeks. He thought he had blown a fuse for a second, he couldn't seem to think. But as he glanced down at her everything seemed to fall into place. Her body perfectly slotted against his, the soft smile that graced her lips. He embraces her tightly in return, her shoulders noticeably relaxing as if being close to him like this was enough to erase all the stress from her body.

“We won't let him make you feel like that again.”

Who Piper assumed was the birthday boy bounded up to Sun the second he crawled his way out of the ball pit. “Well hey there, Eli! Happy birthday!” The large animatronic scoops the boy up into his arms with ease. “This is Miss Piper, she’ll be here to help make sure your big day is extra special!” He gives Piper a shy wave that she happily returns. The boy's bright green eyes scan around the room.

“Where's Monty?” Piper caught Sun twitch slightly out of the corner of her eye at the mention of his name.

“He’s going to be coming by later when we go upstairs for cake and ice cream!” He explains, bouncing the boy on his hip as he carries him off to his group of waiting friends. The party itself was simple enough to handle; 15 kids, a few extra activities than the normal day to day routine, nothing crazy. Sun had decided to keep a close eye on Piper, the whole ordeal this morning obviously making her a bit anxious. He loved watching her interact with the kids, she truly was amazing at it. Sun couldn't help but smile as he watched her admire a paper pal she was being presented with, the face nothing but googly eyes.

“I need to apologize to her.” Moon rasps.

“She said there was no need to Moon, she’s not upset with us.” Sun responds.

“Still, I would like to say something.” He grumbles. “And I would like to find out who exactly she had an interaction with this morning.”

“Me too.” Sun glanced up at the clock, there was about an hour left until Monty was due to show up. “Here, spend some time with her before cake, I don't need you being more irritable than usual while he's around.” Sun makes eye contact with Piper, making the motion of opening a book with his hands to signal it was story time.

“Alright boys and girls, we have one more activity before it's time for cake.” She explains in her usual chipper tone, earning a chorus of cheers from the group. “We’re going to have spooky story time with Moondrop.” She lowers her tone as she continues, setting the slightly eerie mood that made all the kids giggle in excitement. She groups all of them up, leading them into the nap room and having them all get settled around a fake campfire that had been set up in the middle of the room before turning off the lights. Sun stepped into the dark room and shut the door, Piper heard the soft whirs and clicks as Moon took center stage. He turns to face her and gives her a bashful smile.

“Piper, I know you said I didn't have to apologize for calling you pretty-”

“And I meant that.” She cuts him off with a flustered giggle, not expecting it to bring it up to her face so suddenly. “From him it felt malicious, from you it was a sweet compliment.” She explains, trying to put him at ease. He offers her his arm, a routine she had gotten used to in order for Moon to easily guide her through the dark room. She rests a hand on his forearm.

“I hope you have your best scary story prepared, I feel like this is going to be a tough crowd.” He jokes, smiling at her soft laughter.

“Oh, I'm bringing my A-game, I hope you can keep up.” She winks at him. Piper takes her seat, Moon greeting all of the children before plopping down at her side. The small circle was filled with giggling as Piper and Moondrop took turns telling their spooky stories. “The old woman pulled the blankets over her head as the intruder's footsteps thudded in the hallway, where is my tooooooeeeee.” She draws out the word in a ghostly tone, earning squeals and laughter from the group. Piper pauses to laugh herself for a moment. “She hears her bedroom door creak open.” She mocks the motion of opening a door as she lets out a high pitched creak of her own. “The footsteps walk up to her bed, the old woman lays there as silent as possible. You have it!” She suddenly exclaims, earning more squeals and screams from the group that quickly dissolves into giggles. She feels Moon’s hand bump into the side of hers, she can't stop the blush that immediately spreads across her cheeks as her eyes land on his expression of pure adoration. There was a knock at the door before it was opened up, a staff member alerting you that it was time for cake. The children rushed out of the room in an instant, Moon and Piper chuckled at their excitement. Moon stood, offering Piper his hand to help her up from the floor. His fingers remained wrapped around her hand for a few moments after she had stood, his thumb running over her knuckles before he dropped it, clearing his throat and mumbling out an apology. The pair slowly walk up to the door, enjoying their last few moments together before Moon has to go back to sleep for the rest of the day.

“If that guy ever bothers you again I want you to tell us, we’ll make sure he won't bother you anymore.” His eyes flicker over her face, memorizing every curve of her features.

“Moon?” He hums at the sound of her saying his name. “Can I give you a hug?”

“Of course you can starlight, anytime.” He smiles softly as he carefully pulls her into his arms. Piper holds him tightly, knowing this would probably be the last time she would see him today. “Go have fun, I'll see you soon.” He whispers, keeping an arm wrapped around her as he slowly brightens the lights. She hears Sun take over, he jolts slightly as he realizes he's holding her.

“Piper,” he lets out a sigh of relief at the sight of her. “Did I hear right? It's time for cake?” She nodded, letting her arms finally slip from his waist.

“Cake just got brought in, then it's free play and we’re done.” She reiterates the rest of the schedule, knowing that sometimes when the two switch places they can get a bit frazzled.

“Let’s go have some cake then.” He places a large hand in between her shoulders as he leads her out into the main daycare, she squints slightly as her vision is assaulted by the bright colors as they leave the dimly lit room. The party room upstairs was somehow even more chaotic than the daycare on your busiest days. The cramped space was packed with children and parents alike, the kids running around at top speed, all hopped up on Fizzy-Faz and birthday cake. A little girl with braids ran up to her, hunching over slightly as she heaved from all the running.

“Miss Piper!” She yells cheerily. “We were wondering where you and Mr. Sun were!” She smiles at you. “Monty Gator’s here!” She juts a finger excitedly in his direction

“You should go say hello, I'm sure he'd love to meet you.” Piper responds with a grin of her own, trying to hide how nervous the new addition to the group was making you. The girl darts off, distracted by the swarm of her friends that had buzzed past her. Piper felt herself pale as she straightened up, realizing that Monty’s gaze was locked on her.

“Eli, it's time for presents!” You hear the birthday boy’s mom call. A smirk stretches across Monty’s features as he realized this was just the chance he needed to break away from the group to get you alone. All of the kids and parents gathered around one table as a staff member started bringing over all of his gifts.

“Well, well, well. Look who it is?” Her blood turns to ice in her veins at the sound of the deep voice that rumbles at her side. “What’s the matter sweetheart? I feel like I've been chasing you around the room all night.” He chuckles, taking another few steps closer to her. She shuffles to the side, keeping her eyes set straight forward on Eli.

“Monty, I'm trying to work.” She states flatly, knowing that wouldn't be enough to brush him off but she figured it wouldn't harm to try.

“So am I, I'm just making small talk with the newest staff member. Where's the harm in that?” She winces as he blows a hot puff of air from his nose against the side of her face. She hears the swishing of fabric, something grazes past her side but never fully touches her.

“Typical.” Monty scoffs. “Leave it to the birthday clown to always ruin my fun.” He growls. Piper finally dared to glance next to her, she caught sight of the familiar red and gold stripes and she realized that it was in fact Sundrop who had placed himself in between the pair.

“It doesn't seem like the situation is any fun if you're the only one enjoying yourself.” He snaps back.

“I don't know, I think Piper and I could be having a lot of fun if you hadn't gotten in the way.” Monty crosses his arms over his chest. Piper didn't miss the way Sun bounced his leg in agitation.

“Sunbeam, would you mind holding things down here with Brayden while I go have a chat with Monty.” Sun rests a comforting hand on her shoulder, nodding towards the staff member that looked bored enough to die.

“Sure, just be quick okay?” Her eyes darted between him and Monty nervously. Sun’s hands clenched into fists, the gator following him out into the hallway with a cocky smirk. The pair disappear into one of the other party rooms, leaving you to wonder just what exactly would happen now that they were out of the public eye.

Sundrop holds open the door for Monty, letting it slam shut behind him as he steps in the room. “It was you, wasn't it? You're the reason she was so upset this morning.” Sun jabs a finger in his direction. The two kept their distance from each other, standing on opposing sides of the room.

“Don't know what that little tart would be so upset about, I just gave her a compliment-”

“You made her uncomfortable is what you did.” Sun cuts him off, making the other animatronic snarl.

“What's the matter Sunny? Find a nice little piece of ass that can finally put up with your obnoxious personality and you suddenly want to play the hero, huh?” Monty chuckles.

“Don't call her that.” Sun responds through clenched teeth.

“And what are you going to do about it?” He laughs. “You gonna fight me for her? Make some big display about how you're a good guy who's going to take care of her?” Sun averts his eyes to the floor. Monty chuckles at his mannerisms, “pathetic, you can't even tell her, can you?” He starts to head towards the door, deciding he had enough of this conversation. “Just don't beat yourself up too bad when I inevitably win her over. A girl like that would look a hell of a lot better hanging off of my arm anyways.”

Piper’s head snapped in the direction of the loud slam against the wall from the next room, the party guests still too invested in Eli opening gifts to notice. She locks eyes with Brayden, nodding to the hallways and motioning she'd be right back. The first thing she heard as she exited the party room was the sound of two voices yelling at each other. She jogged to the room next door, peering into the window to see Monty and Sun grappling with each other, Sundrop at the obvious disadvantage. Piper slams against the door pushing into the room. “Well look who decided to show up.” Monty chuckles maliciously as he looks down at Sun.

“What a shame that your little girlfriend is going to have to watch me rip you apart limb from limb.” He snarls. Sun winds back his arm before his hand smashed against the side of Monty’s snout, leaving a pretty sizable dent in its wake. Piper screamed, slipping and slamming to the checkered tile floor as she scrambled for the phone. She rips the receiver off of the hook dialing the first number that popped into your head. Blood thundered in her ears, almost drowning out the sound of ringing as she prayed for an answer.

“Merry speaking, what can I-”

“They're fighting!” Piper yells into the phone, her voice cracking as she tries to fight back tears. “At the daycare! They're going to fucking kill each other!” She heard Merry slam down her phone as it went dead, no doubt rushing to try and minimize the damage. Piper couldn't tear her eyes away from the scene as she crawled backwards into the farthest corner from them, her whole body trembling. She watched in horror as Monty managed to grab Sundrop, lifting him clear from the floor before smashing him back down onto a table. He stands over Sun’s motionless form, grabbing him by the top of the head and hauling him to a sitting position.

“You need to remember your place, clown.” He sneers. “I'm at the top of the food chain in this place… Not… You.” Just before he had the chance to deliver a devastating blow to Sun’s head Merry burst through the door, rushing at Monty in order to tackle him to the ground. Luckily, at this point Brayden managed to quickly lead the guests to another location in the Pizzeria, leaving the rest of them to be the only ones left in the daycare. Merry seemed to have finally calmed down Monty enough to subdue him after a few minutes.

“Don't move a single muscle.” She warns, pointing down at him. “Piper, are you hurt?” She asks as she rushes over to Sun. Piper couldn't even respond, she just sat there staring at the animatronic who still wasn’t getting up. “Piper!” Merry tries again, a bit firmer this time. The redhead’s eyes snap to the blond, tears welling up in her waterline as the reality of what had just happened to her friend set in. Piper shakes her head softly, pulling her knees to her chest to make herself appear smaller. A wide eyed and breathless Brayden appeared in the door.

“How bad was it this time?” He starts, pausing and looking to the side when he catches a glimpse of Piper’s terrified form. “Are you proud of yourself?” He yells at Monty. Brayden shakes his head before cautiously approaching Piper. He kneels down a good distance in front of her. “Piper, why don't you come downstairs? We should get out of Merry’s way while she's working.” He speaks slowly, knowing it would take her a little longer to process what he was saying considering she seemed to be in a state of shock. Piper stands, slowly shuffling out of the room. She takes one last glance over at Sundrop. Merry had popped off a panel on the back of his head, a focused look adorning her features as she quickly works. The sight alone was enough to make Piper well up, tears sliding down her cheeks before she hurried from the room.

Piper laid on her side in the dark room, a pillow beneath her head and a blanket draped over her still shivering form as she stared straight ahead at the wall. Brayden had moved her down to the nap room, figuring it would be best if she didn't have to see him take Monty out of the room. She hears the soft creak of the large doors being pushed open, the opposing end of the room showing a thin sliver of light before the whole room is plunged into darkness again. Piper could make out the subtle whirs of Moon coming out, she resisted the urge to rush over to him and crush him in a hug. The last thing she needed right now was the embarrassment that would come from Moon seeing her cry. He lets out a sigh before his eyes scan around the room. He finds Piper curled up in a corner, facing away from him. His shoulders slump slightly at the sight of her, he never wanted to see her scared, the fact he was part of the reason almost made him want to leave without disturbing her.

“Piper?” He calls her name softly, taking careful steps in her direction. She sits up at his acknowledgement, the sound of her quiet sniffling made Moon’s chest hurt.

“Please tell me you're okay.” Her voice was hoarse when she finally spoke.

“We’re alright.” He reassures her softly. “Some dents and dings.” He moves a bit closer to her.

“I thought you were gone.” Her voice quivered as it filled the otherwise silent space. Moon paused as it finally set in. She wasn't upset, she was worried. She watches the two glowing red dots, the only indication as to where Moon was in the room at the moment, study her from their distant position.

“Monty knocked my power supply loose when he threw me on that table.” He explains. She drops her head to her knees, the wave of relief that washed over her making her emotional all over again. This time, Moon didn't hesitate. His feet started to move before he even had a chance to process what he was doing. He sank to the floor, wrapping his long, slender arms around Piper. “I got you, Starlight. Let it out.” Piper didn't know how long she had been crying but she felt utterly wiped out by the end of it. The whole time Moon just held her, running a hand soothingly up and down her back. Moon gently takes her chin between his fingers, running his thumb over her damp cheek to wipe away any remaining tears.

“So I guess you probably figured out that he was the reason I was so off today.” She whispers, her forehead still resting against his chest. She didn't have it in her to meet his eyes with the state she was in right now. “I'm sorry.”

“What did you say to me this morning? Why are you apologizing for something you didn't do?” He cradles the back of her head gently for a moment, wanting her to know it was okay if she stayed like that, before retracting the appendage.

“Yeah, but you got hurt because of me.” She sniffles.

“Piper, I wouldn't change a single thing that happened to me today. Sure, Monty roughed me up a little, that oversized gecko only thinks with his biceps anyways.” The joke earned a weak chuckle from her. “There's never going to be a time where I'm not going to defend you with everything I have. I can be fixed. What matters to me is that you're okay, and that you know there's someone who's going to do their best to take care of you.” Moon nervously glances down at her, he sucks in a sharp breath when her pretty blue eyes meet his. “We care about you, Piper.” Her heart races in her chest at his words, she wouldn't be surprised if Moon could hear it beating.

The door is suddenly shoved open, Moon’s face spins around as Sundrop’s familiar golden points fold out. Piper’s eyes immediately land on the massive crater on his temple, Sun quickly lifts his hand in a failed attempt to hide it from her view. “Look at me, I'm okay.” Sun reassures her with a patient smile. Piper nods in response, trying her best to appear braver than she felt.

“Alright, let's get you all situated. You have a real mean left hook by the way.” Merry chuckles as she walks in the room, rifling through her tool box. She freezes when her eyes land on Piper’s puffy red eyes. “I'm going to kick the shit out of Monty for you personally.” She points at her, making Piper laugh.

“Is it okay if I stay while you work on him?” She asks softly. Merry notices Sun give her a small nod. Seeing the way Piper still clung to him, like he would disappear if she let him out of her sight.

“Sure thing, kid.”

What to Do If You Get Lost in the Wild

Even in the age of smartphones and GPS, stories of hikers getting lost in the wilderness still regularly appear in the news. How do people get lost even when carrying their devices, and what should you do if you ever find yourself in that situation? To answer those questions, I called up Creek Stewart, a wilderness survival expert and instructor and a longtime friend of AoM. Creek is the author of numerous books on wilderness survival and has been the host of several Weather Channel shows on the subject, including S.O.S.: How to Survive. Besides his over two decades of survival experience, Creek told me that hosting S.O.S. gave him a unique perspective on how people get lost in the wilderness and what separates those who survive and get rescued quickly from those who flounder. When he hosted the show, he interviewed dozens of folks who had gotten lost in the wild, often in popular national parks filled with other people. Below Creek shares his insights on how anyone can become disoriented when traversing the great outdoors and, more importantly, how to stay safe if it happens to you. Pre-Trip Preparation: How to Ensure Your Quick Rescue in the Event You Get Lost Creek says there are three things you can do before your trip that, should you manage to get lost during it, will dramatically increase your chances of a quick rescue and a safe return: 1. Tell people where you’re going and when to expect you back. Do this even if you’re going on a simple day hike near your home. 2. Ensure your phone is fully charged and bring a power bank. If you plan on using a digital app/map to guide your hike, you’ll of course want to make sure your phone is fully charged and has a backup power source as well. A phone is of no use if it doesn’t have power. People get lost, their phones die, and they can’t figure out where they are and how to get back on track. A dead phone not only contributes to getting lost, but prevents a quick rescue as well. Creek told me the one thing that all the people who had a slow rescue had in common was that they went out into the wild without a fully charged phone and without a way to power it back up. “The people who got found quickly typically had a fully charged phone, so when they got lost, they could make a call or at least put out a distress signal with GPS,” he told me. If you’re looking for a power bank for outdoor excursions, I like and use the S.A.B.A.N.I. Portable Charger 35000mAh Power Bank. You can charge your iPhone up to five times with this power bank. 3. Consider carrying a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). Creek recommends buying a PLB or satellite communicator. While they’re pricey and require a subscription, they will allow you to send a distress signal and share your GPS location even when you don’t have cell service. Garmin makes two satellite communicators: * Garmin inReach Messenger Handheld Satellite Communicator. This device is also a Personal Locator Beacon, and it works with your smartphone, so you can text even when you don’t have cell service. * Garmin inReach Mini 2. It allows you to text and also has maps and weather forecasts. It’s more expensive than the original inReach due to those additional features. Doing those three things before you leave for your trip will ensure you get found within 24 hours of getting lost in the wild. In addition to doing those three things, Creek also recommends that you dress appropriately for the climate and bring some essential gear for any wilderness outing, even a short day hike. Pack the essentials we list here. Having those things on you in the event you get lost will help you stay safe and comfortable in the outdoors while you’re waiting to be found. The Psychology of Getting Lost If you stay on marked trails when you’re out in nature, your risk of getting lost is very low. Before you begin a hike, download an offline map on your phone in case you don’t have cell service. Again, make sure you have a power charger. And carry a paper map as a backup, too.

Rule No. 5: You don’t waste good. And there is a lot of good stuff to be enjoyed as NCIS marks its 20th anniversary this month.

On Monday, Sept. 25, CBS is officially celebrating “NCIS Day” — exactly 20 years (…plus two days) after the JAG spinoff made its broadcast debut. The well-watched NCIS mothership has aired 459 episodes to date, and with all offshoots (including NCIS: Sydney) combined, the franchise will reach a milestone 1,000th episode (!) during NCIS’ 21st season (premiere date TBD). If there is a giant “1,000” cake, I demand a slice.

TVLine has exclusive details on all that “NCIS Day” will entail:

A mini-marathon airing Monday, Sept. 25 and kicking off with the first NCIS episode, featuring the original cast and back when the show was called [Takes deep breath] “Navy NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service.” (Before you “Well, actually…” me –yes, NCIS technically launched via a backdoor pilot in the Season 8 JAG episodes “Ice Queen” and “Meltdown.”) All three mini-marathon episodes are detailed below; get an exclusive first look at the promo up above.

youtube

The debut of CBS’ “social take” on the Bandium app that Gary Cole’s Special Agent Alden Parker introduced to the team in Season 19 (as revisited in the video clip directly above). CBS’ version of Bandium will be accessed through an opt-in messenger feature on Instagram and Facebook, allowing “special agent fans at home” to receive exclusive content, personalized shareable content, special announcements and more. (Starting Sept. 18, sign up early using these Facebook and Instagram links.)

An opportunity for fans to take 20% off NCIS merchandise at ParamountShop.com, using the code NCIS20 at checkout from Sept. 7 through Oct. 2. (There will also be an on-air QR/discount code displayed periodically during the NCIS marathon so fans can scan and shop.)

And as you may have already noticed out there on social media, CBS has launched a new joint @NCISverse handle across all of the franchise’s social media platforms.

‘NCIS DAY’ MINI-MARATHON DETAILS

Monday, Sept. 25 at 8/7c — “Yankee White” (Season 1, Episode 1) In the series’ premiere episode, NCIS Special Agents Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon) and Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and medical examiner Dr. “Ducky” Mallard (David McCallum) arrive on Air Force One to investigate what initially appears to be a death by natural causes. But their investigation is hampered by inter-agency squabbles with the FBI and Secret Service, each believing that they should be the primary investigating unit. Gibbs cunningly gets control of the case from the others, but still has to go head-to-head with Secret Service Agent Kate Todd (Sasha Alexander).

Monday, Sept. 25 at 9 pm — “SWAK” (Season 2, Episode 22) When a letter sealed with a kiss is delivered to NCIS, Tony assumes it’s for him and opens it, only to release a mysterious powder into the NCIS squad room. Gibbs and the team are forced into quarantine in the NCIS autopsy room pending the results of tests to identify the strange powder. As Abby (Pauley Perrette) discovers the substance is a genetically altered version of the plague, Tony and Kate are placed in a bio-hazard isolation ward for fear of exposure. Gibbs and McGee (Sean Murray), meanwhile, race to track down who sent the letter before the deadly plague wreaks more havoc.

Monday, Sept. 25 at 10 pm — “All Hands” (Season 19, Episode 11) After a civilian research vessel in the North Atlantic picks up a small boat of wounded Navy officers, Special Agent Parker (Gary Cole) and his NCIS team arrive on the ship and are forced to hide after discovering terrorists on board. Also, Special Agent Knight (Katrina Law) takes a paper doll with her on the mission to capture photos for her niece’s grade school class. Martha Mitchell directed the episode from a script by Christopher J. Waild.

How will YOU be celebrating “NCIS Day”? Anyone want to go caroling door-to-door with me, maybe stumble across an ill-fated petty officer along the way…?

@starryskied sent: " Hmm? " Rosen lips quirk, as a noticeable frown besmirched the Elafia's countenance. Does she ring the bell for service? Or call Penguin Logistics on their cellular device? Decisions, decisions. Since her retirement as a Catastrophe Messenger, the ways of communication have changed drastically. Nevertheless, Tsukinogi placed the parcel on the countertop. The package is sealed tightly, preventing its contents from shifting during delivery. What is the former priestess sending? Sea glass jewelry and a mini-set of glass figurines to her former mentor back home. " Excuse me? Is anyone there? I need this shipped to Higashi. " ( @Tenzou )

The fuss of a door opening and a bell ringing is unfortunately enough to rouse the lounging Anaty to attention. Curses. An interruption. It's with a deep lamenting sigh he offers an apology to the computer screen. "Apologies, Lina-chan... I will return for you." Noble words spoken quietly under his breath behind the ever-present scarf. A dramatic grip of his fist follows and... oh no no. That wasn't a video call. It was a visual novel that he found himself forced to pause.

None of the other employees of the logistics firm were present. As far as Tenzou knew they were all meeting someone related to Laterano or somesuch. It didn't involve him and frankly, he could be an odd one out when the women were together. All the better that he can finish his own duties!

...or not. A voice is calling out and it sounds as though they're in need of assistance. Emperor would have his tail if he neglected the shop. And so with a slap of the hand the screen is closed and he seeming appears from nowhere (super fast ninjutsu) entering the desk.

"Yes yes, sorry for the wait de gozaru. Penguin Logistics, whatever it takes!... eh? A package for Higashi de gozaru ka?" A hum and mutter as the ninja-esque Anaty settles and scrutinizes it, and then the Elafia woma--HUOH that's a rack. No! Focus! "I-I understand. Hmm. Quite some time since I returned back there. Might this be for someone important? Ah! It is not my place to ask, please ignore me de gozaru. Yes! I can get that done for you. How quickly would you like this to arrive, miss?"

Suddenly, a loud anime girl voice excitedly announces the title of the game he'd been playing upstairs. Loud enough there was no way it wasn't heard. You'd think an anvil fell on the ninja's head.

"I-Ignore that too, de gozaru!"

"Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them" — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

A voice spoke to you, coming from nowhere.

Hello

You weirdly don't feel scared, you shouldn't be. This voice sounds kind. You s͟h͟o͟u͟l͟d͟ listen.

I'm Maia, mother of the messenger god (Hermes), nymph of the Pleiade constellation at your service.

The voice sounds pleasant, soft, like a mother.

You may be wondering how I can speak considering i'm a bit star-stuck *You hear her chuckle* in my stories. A tragedy really but the Fates are cruel and you can't fight fate as much as you want to....

She sounds sad for a minute before her voice suddenly perks up, as if remembering she's speaking to you

But-But! The shortened version is that the stars that were mortal, demigod, god, nymph, animal whatever previously are still alive— or whatever you constitute as alive. It's hard to describe but we're always watching, never acting from up here.

Very few truly 'see' us, or know of our continued existence and mostly it's because of their connection to the stars.

My father Atlas for example can because he's holding the sky, plus most of the living stars are his children*. My sister, Calypso can somewhat hear us, though the poor girl isn't one for conversation though. And the titaness of falling stars, @asterias-island can hear us....

Her voice fades out for a second, and you hear another voice, distantly, a more colder voice. You cant hear what she's saying to Maia.

Maia's voice came back a second later.

Oh! It appears i'm running out of time, Astraea is telling me to pack it up, anyways, if you can hear this then that means you're one of the few that can truly see the stars. Lucky you! I hope to speak to you more!

*Zoe, Hyas, the Hyades and the Pleiades are all stars/constellations in the sky that are also children of Atlas, both in pjo and myth

OOC:

This entire blog is based off a headcanon of mine that the stars that used to be living, (eg. Zoe for a pjo example) are still alive in the sky. Their constellations act as their own mini realm catered to them. They can watch what's happening on earth through the sky. they cannot interact with the living however (trust me, Maia tried with a certain grandson of hers. That didn't turn out well)

Those that can hear and talk to the stars are refered to as 'seeing the stars'

Anyone, regardless of parentage or association can 'see' the stars when holding the sky. (hint hint)

Main blog: @bugwolfsstuff

Other rp blogs of mine: @call-me-hermie-please @winged-messenger-girl @dead-but-not-anymore

Maia talks like this

Bug (mun) talks like this

🪽Maia relaying a message from the other stars looks like this🪽

Actions look like this

In character tag is this: ✨The stars are listening and you are hearing✨

Out of character tag is this: Bug speaking

Relaying messages from other stars tag is this: 🪽Messenger Maia🪽

Divider came from here

Can private investigators get text messages?

Nowadays, anyone who owns a cellphone knows how to send and delete text messages. But are they deleted, and can a private investigator get text messages? The answer may surprise you!

Cell phones today are getting better by the minute. Hundreds of new phones are released, thousands of new apps are released, and many are messaging apps. People download and use these apps every day without caring about who or what tracking features are built into these apps. The most common messaging apps used today are:

Facebook Messenger

Weixin/WeChat

Snapchat

People use these apps daily and most people feel comfortable knowing that the apps themselves are tracking their communications. What they don't always know is that these applications store their communications, so when you delete your communication with someone it's often stored somewhere within the app or on a server.

Can a private investigator track text messages?

Private investigators are skilled at gathering information, whether using manual surveillance or covert surveillance techniques or digitally extracting data from cell phones and computers. There are many ways a private investigator can track text messages and here are some examples:

Can a private investigator track my text messages?

If you compose a text message and then don't send it, it is often saved as a draft. This means it's stored on your phone and a private investigator can extract that message using advanced cellphone forensics techniques. If you decide you're going to delete that draft, your phone will probably mark it as "gone," but the remnants of it still remain on your phone. A private investigator equipped with sophisticated forensic tools and techniques will be able to uncover these documents.

Can I send a private investigator-track text message?

If you send someone a text message there are now two ways a private investigator can track that text message. Your phone will have a trace/track of it and the receiver's phone will have a trace/track of it. If you decide to delete a text message on your phone, you have no way of knowing or being sure that the person you sent it to will eventually delete it. They may tell you they deleted it, but can you really be sure?

Can a private investigator track text messages I received but deleted?

Again, the private investigator has several digital forensics tools to uncover messages you think you deleted from your phone. And, if you think about it, your phone always has a record of the message. Your phone had to receive the message to display it to you. So, the phone will have a copy of that message, and the private investigator can track/trace this text message.

Can a private investigator track text messages if I reset my phone?

In many cases, they can. Phones are like mini-computers that fit in your hand. Just resetting the phone will scramble your phone data to make it look like a new phone. The data is still on your phone, but recovering the deleted text message will require more advanced digital forensics.

How else can a private investigator track text messages?

Well, a private investigator working with a competent attorney will be able to work with that attorney to obtain text messages from the phone company using a process known as "discovery." While not all phone carriers release the content of text messages, almost all apps will gladly hand over both sides of a conversation if they receive a subpoena.

If you are looking for affordable licensed private investigators in Atlanta with 20 years of experience in text message tracking and assisting individuals, attorneys, and corporations feel free to contact us here. You can also view a portion of our extensive client list here, and see what real clients say about Eagle Investigative Services, a private investigator in Atlanta, Georgia.

A Journey into the World of Advertising

Have you ever wondered why your favorite products show up on TV or pop up on your phone? That's the magic of advertising, the secret sauce behind the messages that make us laugh, think, and sometimes even shed a tear. In this guide, we'll unravel the mysteries of advertising – what it is, why it exists, and the different ways it sneaks into our lives. So, let's embark on this adventure to demystify the world of ads, where every jingle and slogan tells a story.

What is called advertisement?

Advertisement, or simply "ad," is like a messenger that shouts about products, services, or ideas to capture your attention. It's the colorful, catchy stuff we see on TV, hear on the radio, or scroll past on our phones.

Ads can be pictures, videos, or even just words – all designed to make you notice and remember a brand or a message.

What is the purpose of advertising?

Spreading the Word: The main job of advertising is to let people know that something awesome exists – a new product, a cool service, or a fantastic idea.

Building Trust: Ads help brands build a relationship with you. They tell you why a product is great, so you feel like you can trust it.

Making You Smile (or Think!): Sometimes, ads just want to entertain or make you think. It's not always about selling; it's about connecting with you.

What are the types of advertising?

TV Commercials:

Like mini-movies on your TV, these ads tell stories that make you laugh, cry, or think – all while showing off a product.

Online Ads:

Ever clicked on an ad while browsing the web? That's an online ad. They can be banners, videos, or even those cheeky pop-ups.

Print Ads:

Think newspapers, magazines, or posters – print ads are the old-school way of getting your attention with words and pictures.

Radio Ads:

When you hear someone excitedly talking about a fantastic deal on the radio, that's a radio ad. It's like a commercial without the visuals.

Social Media Ads:

These ads sneak into your social media feeds, showing you things that your friends might like. They're like digital whispers in your ear.

Billboards:

Those giant posters by the roadside? That's a billboard. They use bold images and few words to catch your eye, even if you're zooming past.

In the grand theater of life, ads are the spotlight that makes products and ideas shine. They're not just about selling; they're about telling stories that stick with us.

Nowadays, AI-driven chatbots proficiently handle customer service inquiries with uncanny precision. The recently emergent Amazon Go stores adeptly discern your purchases and autonomously calculate charges, devoid of human intervention.

Efficiency and productivity characterize AI’s forte, particularly in the realm of monotonous and repetitive digital tasks. Yet, we embark on a more intricate inquiry: Can AI engage in creative cogitation?

DALL-E: Beyond Meme Crafting

Enthusiasts of memes and cyber culture may have experimented with the AI-fueled image generator, DALL-E Mini, crafting images that oscillate between the bizarre and the nightmarish. But does the ability to generate intricate images genuinely affirm AI’s capability for creative thought?

Many contend that creativity, in its essence, remains an exclusively human attribute. In simpler terms, skepticism looms over AI’s aptitude for creative thinking. However, a nuanced examination of the definition of creativity and an exploration into AI’s capabilities may yield surprising insights.

According to psychologist J.P. Guilford, creativity comprises five pivotal elements. These elements serve as our benchmark for evaluating whether AI possesses the cognitive capacity for creativity aligned with human standards.

The Five Facets of Creativity

Fluency

Flexibility

Originality

Awareness

Drive

Understanding AI’s cognitive processes unfolds as we dissect its functioning within the framework of creativity. Before delving into each facet, let’s take a succinct excursion through the annals of AI history and its contemporary implications.

The Epochs of AI Evolution

Recent decades have witnessed an unprecedented surge in technological advancements, seamlessly integrating into our daily lives. A watershed moment was the democratization of sophisticated technology, exemplified by major corporations like Canon, Nikon, and Fuji launching digital cameras in the early 2000s.

How AI Has Evolved Over Time

Presently, AI propels itself to greater heights, seamlessly integrating into tools that catalyze creativity without necessitating direct human involvement. In the domain of photography, AI-enhanced camera features empower even the technologically uninitiated to capture well-exposed and focused digital photographs. Your iPhone or Google Pixel silently leverages these features to conjure Instagram-worthy selfies.

AI-assisted camera features

AI’s ascendancy to an industry standard arises from its prowess in facilitating business scalability sans exorbitant marketing budgets or expanded teams.

Navigating the Current Landscape of AI and Creativity

In contemporary business realms, AI assumes a pivotal role in the creative process. While a human must devise the algorithm steering its actions, machine learning’s formidable potency lies in its ability to evolve and adapt the algorithm autonomously.

DALL-E 2, an AI research project by OpenAI, stands as an exemplar. Functioning as a virtual artist, it transmutes textual descriptions into original, lifelike images. Corporate entities, such as Cosmo magazine, have harnessed DALL-E’s creative prowess to fashion stunning magazine covers within a mere 20 seconds!

Though AI may not rival Picasso or DaVinci, it unequivocally contributes significantly to the creative process. Does this elevate AI to the pedestal of true creativity? Perhaps. Regardless, it emerges as an indispensable ally for businesses striving for rapid growth without deploying colossal budgets on protracted marketing endeavors.

AI furnishes an unparalleled avenue for crafting creative assets, meticulously scrutinizing audience responses through performance metrics like conversion rates. This wealth of data metamorphoses into actionable insights for the human creatives steering the ship.

Pondering the Question: Can AI Engage in Creative Thought?

Recall IBM’s Watson outsmarting humans on the TV game show Jeopardy? While the spectacle may have produced some comical missteps, Watson’s cognitive prowess has evolved considerably since its debut.

Is AI Fluid?

Historically, the prevailing notion was that AI and automation were confined to executing pre-programmed tasks, with credit for the outcome attributed to the human architecting the program. Yet, in contemporary times, dismissing AI as a mere tool devoid of creative cogitation has become antiquated.

Analyzing creativity through the prism of the five elements reveals the strides made by AI’s deep learning capabilities.

1. Is AI Fluid?

Let’s unravel a jest: What distinguishes currency from a fundament?

The punchline unfurls: One you conserve and deposit, the other you uncover and chastise.

Absurd as this joke may seem, its genesis lies in a computer program called JAPE (Joke Analysis and Production Engine), conceived in the late 1990s to craft puns. This exemplifies AI’s fluidity, encapsulated in its capacity to generate a multitude of ideas or problem solutions swiftly.

AI-driven tools like AdCreative.ai burgeon, streamlining and automating creative asset scaling for businesses. They produce hundreds of ad permutations in minutes, a task that would require weeks if executed manually. This not only amplifies volume but also expeditiously analyzes millions of consumer data points, optimizing the creative process without compromising quality.

The sophistication of AI resides in its seamless dual capability — simultaneously conducting analysis and production, adapting continuously to evolving circumstances. Consider subject lines for emails subjected to an analysis tool, predicting performance while suggesting enhancements or even generating subject lines autonomously.

In terms of fluidity, one might argue that AI surpasses human capacities.

2. Is AI Flexible?

Flexibility assumes paramount importance in the realm of creativity, signifying the ability to propose diverse approaches to a problem or adapt to shifting circumstances.

AdCreative.ai Creative Insights

Dystopian narratives often depict AI’s flexibility as a harbinger of chaos. Consider series like Westworld or the Disney Channel Original Movie, Smart House, where the adaptability of AI-powered technology leads to turmoil.

However, within the professional sphere, AI’s scalability and capacity to analyze vast data sets supersede traditional methodologies. Tools like AdCreative.ai conduct extensive A/B testing, facilitating rapid pivots and adjustments based on real-time insights.

Traditionally, discerning the resonance of a marketing campaign or designing varied banners contingent on audience reception posed challenges. AdCreative.ai streamlines this process, conferring ultimate flexibility to ad creation. Machine and deep learning models possess a unique trait — their ability to incessantly learn and adapt to evolving trends and markets at an unparalleled pace.

Is AI Original?

3. Is AI Original?

Originality stands as a cornerstone of creativity, denoting the capacity to birth innovative ideas.

AI-generated jokes and platforms like Twitter’s Magic Realism Bot, crafting Marquez-esque story prompts, exemplify AI’s originality. Combining tools like DALL-E with these bots foretells a future where AI crafts original content autonomously.

AI, cognizant of audience engagement nuances, ensures the creation of ideas that are not just replicative but genuinely unprecedented. Platforms such as AdCreative.ai, mining data and graphics, not only replicate past successes but also concoct novel possibilities for the future.

Asserting that AI lacks originality mirrors claiming a new painting lacks originality due to containing familiar elements. AI amalgamates millions of data points, birthing diverse and novel ideas at an unprecedented pace.

4. Is AI Aware?

Dystopian literature and movies consistently depict AI’s self-awareness as a harbinger of calamity. Westworld’s sentient robots embody this form of awareness, a facet some argue is inherently human.

Awareness, in the context of AI, equates to the ability to synthesize and organize the details of an idea and implement it. AI-powered engines like AdCreative.ai exemplify this by organizing creative information, analyzing it comprehensively, and discerning why certain ad creatives prove effective.

AI comprehends not just the creative aspects but also adapts to changing trends and consumer insights. Tools like AdCreative.ai actively contribute to designing superior digital assets, fostering creative calls-to-action, and enriching overall visual appeal.

5. Is AI Driven?

Drive — the impetus derived from a specific factor or sentiment — constitutes the ultimate determinant for considering AI a creative force. This element recurrently surfaces in literature, TV shows, and movies, exemplified by I, Robot with Will Smith.

Is AI Driven?

Critics contend that the human behind the algorithm dictates AI’s motivation. However, the presence of motivation remains indisputable. In essence, AI’s drive, arguably more potent than human motivation, emanates from diverse sources, ranging from familial ties to financial considerations.

AdCreative.ai simplifies the input process for business owners, channeling initial information and data toward desired outcomes. Once this foundational stage concludes, the AI-powered engine propels forward with unbridled drive.

Comprehensive Evaluation: AI and the Pantheon of Creativity

Scrutinizing the five facets of creativity unveils the modern AI landscape, propelled by machine learning and deep learning. Fluency, flexibility, originality, awareness, and drive — AI comprehensively satisfies each criterion, perpetually refining its capabilities.

AI emerges as a creative powerhouse, potentially rivaling or even surpassing human ingenuity. The prospect may evoke concerns, especially among those fearing the usurpation of designers’ jobs or the ominous rise of AI overlords. Yet, thus far, AI assumes the role of a benevolent creative ally, executing our directives and amplifying creativity in unprecedented ways.

Designers, ensnared in cycles of mundane tasks, witness liberation as AI takes charge of repetitive chores. Beyond merely freeing time, AI optimizes each step, empowering designers to concentrate on overarching objectives.

Charting the Course of Tomorrow

Two decades ago, proclaiming AI’s superior creative prowess compared to the human mind would have bordered on the absurd. Despite intimations of AI potentially outshining human creativity, history demonstrates that technological strides yield more advantages than drawbacks.

AI-powered engines like AdCreative.ai elevate creativity, urging businesses to continually elevate the standard of delivering compelling assets to their audiences.

See what the future of AI holds.

Seizing the Opportunities AI Presents Today
