The Advantages and Benefits of an Academic Institution Partnership Program.
Beginning: There are many students from across the globe looking for the finest paths to academic and educational excellence. Though there are sufficient institutions and universities to deliver these dreams in terms of courses, electives, and programs, choosing wisely matters. And that is what makes academic search consultants vital in that pursuit for academic excellence.
What are the Advantages of an International Strategy for Universities?
(a). Enhance and further skill development and knowledge.
When comparing the relevant advantages of various academic platforms, industry-academia partnerships give students platforms to solve tough research questions with real-world relevance and value. It helps to develop a sense of being aware of the impact of their research as they acquire new skills, data, or equipment. Businesses enhance performance through fresh technology and ideas.
(b). It empowers the possibility of cooperation and new synergy.
There is a promotion to discover new synergy and cooperation for businesses. The cooperation and collaboration give access to expertise and research that lead to innovation. There is an extension of resources that empowers better competitive advantage for businesses. There are fresh income sources for the institutions as well as higher competitiveness in their fund options.
(c). It enhances advanced research and an adaptive global workforce.
Research is the heartbeat of innovation and progress across all industrial sectors. Besides being able to enhance research, it also brings new skills into existence. The ever-ready talent with specific skills and practical training offers businesses ample opportunity. They are multi-skilled and adaptable to work with modern technology and tackle dynamic issues in globalized workplaces.
(d). Internationalization of higher education provides access.
It gives students and researchers access to top management colleges that have valid partnerships with top industries across various fields.
(e). Enhanced ability to get more study and research resources.
A business or professional partnership with industries helps universities gain better access to advanced study resources. This can range from research funding and a diverse research portfolio to better industry feedback.
(f). It empowers students to get real-time, industry-relevant jobs and skills.
It opens platforms for universities to teach real-time industry jobs to the students. It enables precise guidance and access to industry-relevant skills and jobs.
(g). It facilitates easier full-time employment options for students.
Students can easily turn their internships into full-time employment. That makes the partnership a powerful tool for colleges. It increases the placement numbers and s adaptable to encourage prospective students and corporate partners.
(h). Easier and faster access to top-tier accredited academic centres of excellence.
Working with and through partnerships with esteemed global education partners furthers faster skill development, and more competent and expert faculty. Accredited institutions and universities are regularly assessed on a broad range of levels and parameters to ensure they still uphold the values and standards. Getting an accredited institution sounds great, but ensuring the right one is even better.
Conclusion: At the very least, in all fields of professional endeavour, encouragement and facilitation help a lot. Similarly, to get the best international strategy for universities services, academic partnerships matter. For students, academia, and professional fields, educational leadership search firms ensure premium skills are sought and availed at the highest level.

Recycling
I watched as the next employee entered the chamber. He appeared a bit confused, probably having expected a conference room rather than the dark space with mirrored walls. By the look of it, he had no idea that any one of the panes were one-sided, hesitantly fidgeting with his tie as he announced his presence with a timid “Hello?”
I leaned into the microphone, “Good afternoon.” The nervous boy’s eyes dashed around the room, trying to identify the person speaking to him. His physical characteristics and mannerisms resembled a mouse, small and skittish.
“Am I supposed to be here?” he eventually replied, choosing the speaker above my viewpoint as his receptor.
“Yes, this is the meeting to discuss your annual review.” I replied. “You're in the right place, Mr. Donson. Would you like for me to refer to you by your given name?”
The boy shuffled anxiously, “Drayton is fine.”
Habitually, I continued. “I’m sure you're wondering why your annual review this year is different from those in the past. Don’t worry Drayton, you are still one of our top performers, and your review reflects your incredible performance.”
Feeling a delicate surge of confidence, Drayton let a smile sneak up onto his lips. Being clean shaven and still holding some baby fat, it frankly was quite endearing. Cute even.
“As you are already aware, our company has been having some financial issues recently. And as a high-ranking official in our accounting department, I am sure that you are more than knowledgeable on the details of this subject.”
Drayton’s youthful glee faltered for a moment.
“Unfortunately, we do not have the funds available to keep you on board and give you a raise,” I started. “The company would like to offer you a deal: in exchange for accepting a substandard review and a 19% decrease in pay, we will offer you external benefits.”
Shock emerged from Drayton’s face, “What benefits would be worth a fifth of my paycheck?”
“Unfortunately I am liable to disclose that information,” I robotically replied. “You can either accept or tender a resignation.”
Drayton took a moment to decide, just like all the other employees typically did. But eventually, they all convinced themselves that losing employment at the company was the worse of the two options.
“I’ll accept.”
“Stand by.” I followed procedure, locking the exits and airways into the chamber. Once that was done, I began flipping the switches. Steam mechanisms, followed by audio machines, followed by visual projectors. I did not even pay attention to the squabbling accountant, panicking as his chamber was bombarded with smoke, abrasive phonics, and commands that flashed against the walls and reflected into every corner of the room.
Thanks to the padding in my control room, I absorbed none of it. I simply ignored Drayton’s screams and opened my laptop, getting back to my own duties as the process did its work. With all the vapors, I typically could not witness any of the changes that happened anyway–which also meant I could never attest to possible allegations if our company did ever come under some sort of legal fire in the future. But sometimes I did spot little things, flashes of commands that were being ingrained into the employee. MASCULINE, TRADITIONAL, ATTENTIVE. The small letters would pulse by an instant, although they were meaningless to me within my enclosed accommodations.
Eventually, my timer went off, and I closed out of the procedure. I exited the program and flipped the switches back over, shutting off all stimulatory mechanisms. It took a moment for the smoke to clear, presenting me with a new version of the employee. More muscular, more masculine, and more virile.
“How are you feeling, Mr. Donovan?”
"It’s Donson, boss." The man stood tall, stoic. His voice now held much more depth and presence.
"It’s Donovan, Drake Donovan,” I affirmed. “That's what's in our system."
I watched the man process this, the command’s installation literally visible behind his now less-intelligent eyes.
“I see you were able to find part of your new uniform already.” I was referring to the briefs and sweatshorts that were covering the lower half of Drake’s much larger body. The remnants of the former business casual outfit were scattered across his large feet. “The closet behind you will contain the rest of your attire. Company fitness uniforms and approved footwear that will better fit your size and new position.”
“New position?” Drake inquired, his question curious rather than interrogative.
“The company has decided to reassign you as a security liaison, seeing as that will be a better fit for your paygrade.” I typed away at my reviewal report, adding in details of Drake’s benefits package. Increase in height, dramatic increase in musculature, increase in hair, increase in virility…
To save money, the company liked to recycle its employees. We would bring in fresh graduates to run our corporate operations, and then once they hit their pay ceiling, recycled them into more manual, less intellectually-driven roles. Naturally, no one ever filed any complaints about this procedure as no one realized it existed. And even if they did, they would no longer have the brains capable to file such a complaint.
“Sounds good, boss,” Drake replied, even though I had already known what his answer was going to be. With his dominating size and brutish stature, Drake had been remodeled into the standard male form that we needed for our team. And with this mind simplified to only focusing on traditional objectives (upholding masculinity, working out, fulfilling his role), Drake was now bound to solely focus on the company’s objectives. Thanks to the recycling process, our company would keep the profits high and the employee turnover low. And now, Drake would remain entertained without the extra money by merely following orders and enjoying the simpler things in life, like flexing his muscles.

cariño (pintas en color)
pepe martí (f2) x gn!reader
surprising your long-distance boyfriend has never been sweeter.
warnings/notes: fluff, a meet-cute, just some general sweet stuff
a/n: for my pepe enjoyers out there <3 oh how I love this man. enjoy!
You met him at a bar in Barcelona.
It was clear, based on your initial judgment, that he doesn't frequent these establishments. His fingers fiddled with the condensation on his glass. When he's not swiping at the droplets, he's tugging at the tie loosely hanging around his neck.
He had his friends with him, at least, and they seemed to be having a good time. They must be celebrating something or on the way home from a formal event as they're all dressed sharply, youthful faces made a little more mature by the crisp fabric of their suits.
Your blouse and jeans suddenly felt a little too tight, a little too hot when the handsome young man with the cute smile approached the bar, stopping right next to you as he called out for the bartender.
"Another martini, please," he said in Spanish, that much you could recognize with what little of the language you picked up over the past six months.
You glanced up at his face casually, startled when you saw him already looking. You looked away in a panic, feeling your heart leap into your throat.
"I like your shirt," he said, leaning against the bar, head tilting as he studied you.
"T-Thank you," you said in stuttering Spanish. Only then did you notice how low-cut the neckline of your shirt was. "You look great in your suit."
He smiled, sliding into the bar stool next to you.
"I'm Pepe," he declared, in English this time, peering closer at your face as if to gauge if you'd be more comfortable using this language.
"I'm ______," you replied, smiling politely.
"Cute name," Pepe commented, nodding toward the bartender as his drink arrived.
"Not as cute as yours," you responded quickly.
Pepe chuckled, holding his drink up to you. You took ahold of your beer and clinked it against his glass.
"So, tourist? Expat?" he questioned before taking a sip.
You shook your head. "Student."
Pepe raised his eyebrows and nodded. "How long are you here for?"
"Another six months or so," you explained. "I'm on an exchange student program."
"So you're leaving eventually?" Pepe asked again, leaning closer. Your cheeks had heated up significantly at this point.
"Not anytime soon, though. Lots of time to...explore," you offered, bumping his shoulder with yours.
Pepe laughed then, eyes disappearing and his face lighting up despite the dim bar atmosphere. It wasn't the last time you'd look at his laughing face. But how you wished consistently in the months that followed that it wasn't just through a screen.
So now, standing in the middle of the Barcelona track complex, your heart pounds, your legs seemingly moving on their own accord as they start to walk towards what you know is the F2 paddock.
The last you've seen of Pepe in person was nearly half a year ago when you left Spain to return home. Almost a year since your first meeting and you can count on two hands how many physical dates you've gone on.
It wasn't ideal. You're not even sure if you and Pepe were meant to meet. Had he picked up his martini and left, the two of you would never have uttered a word to each other. If you hadn't returned his compliment, your life would look completely different right now.
A year of mismatched schedules, airport goodbyes, tearful last dates, and hours-long phone calls have come to this.
You're here now, walking to the Campos garage. Pepe's outside, warming up for qualifying. He's with his trainer, his back to you, completely oblivious to the grin his trainer flashes at the sight of you.
"Hola, cariño."
Pepe whips around and his eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets as he sees you. You're immediately picked up, giggling as your boyfriend spins you around in glee.
"You're here! How?! Why didn't you tell me?!" Pepe nearly stumbles over his words as he gently takes your face in his large hands.
You beam up at him, laying your own palms over his reddened cheeks. Pepe wastes no time and pulls you in for a kiss, sweeping and romantic and uncaring of all the eyes that stare at you right now.
"I love you," he professes.
It's a wonderful feeling, to stand here and to be able to show the person you love just how much you love them.
"And I love you, mi amor," you reply, balancing on your tip toes as you land a sweet kiss to his grinning lips.
-
"I can't believe I'm immortalized forever with this clip!"
You replay the video on your phone, groaning when your worried face fills up the screen once again. Pepe cackles with laughter beside you, doubling over, as if your concern for his safety was oh-so-funny.
"Would have been funnier if they did the label thingy as they do on F1," Pepe gasps in between laughs. "'________, Pepe Martí's partner', and then your face looking like that!"
You roll your eyes, but a grin spreads on your lips.
"You were wheel to wheel with your teammate, how else would I have reacted?" You ask, shoving Pepe lightly. "And how would I know that the camera guys were that interested in me?"
Pepe wipes away at the tears that have sprung up in his eyes, leaning closer to you. He leaves an innocent peck on the tip of your nose, giggling as your face scrunches up.
"Anyone would be interested in you when you're this beautiful," Pepe declares.
"I know I was," he adds, gripping one side of your face, tilting your lips upward toward his.
The two of you melt into a searing kiss and all you can do is smile, fingers carding through Pepe's hair.

This isn’t an exhaustive list, but I’ve run into some of these organizations as places to donate, and it's fine for my followers to share other lists that have gone around. (I'm not going to be offended.) This is version three with some organizations that include long-term goals of Israeli-Palestinian cooperation and peace in addition to the initial organizations offering emergency aid. Organizations are listed alphabetically.
Alliance for Middle East Peace
ALLMEP is a coalition of over 160 organizations—and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis—building cooperation, justice, equality, shared society, mutual understanding, and peace among their communities. We add stability in times of crisis, foster cooperation that increases impact, and build an environment conducive to peace over the long term. (Even if you're not really keen on supporting AllMEP itself, searching Member Organizations may also be a way to find organizations based on sectors - environment, women, youth, etc. - or type - Palestinian, Cross Border, or Shared Society.)
American Friends of Magen David Adom
The most common way I’ve seen recommendations for USAmericans to donate to Magen David Adom. (Additional Friends Societies are on Magen David Adom’s site for other countries.)
As a fully-fledged member of the International Red Cross / Red Crescent, Magen David Adom serves as the Israeli Red Cross organization.
Anera
Anera, which has no political or religious affiliation, works on the ground with partners in Palestine (West Bank and Gaza), Lebanon and Jordan. We mobilize resources for immediate emergency relief and for sustainable, long-term health, education, and economic development. Our staff serve in their communities, navigating the politics that constrict progress to get help where it’s needed most.
A Land For All
A Land for All is a shared movement of Israelis and Palestinians who believe that the way towards peace, security and stability for all passes through two independent states, Israel and Palestine, within a joint framework allowing both peoples to live together and apart.
Doctors Without Border/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
An independent organization “focused on delivering emergency medical humanitarian aid quickly, effectively, and impartially.” This link goes to the Palestinian Territories section.
Friends of Roots
We are a network of local Palestinians and Israelis [in the West Bank] who have come to see each other as the partners we both need to make changes to end our conflict. Based on a mutual recognition of each People's connection to the Land, we are developing understanding and solidarity despite our ideological differences. Ongoing Initiatives include interreligious exchange, a women's group, partnership lectures, a children's summer camp, youth group, after school program, incident response team, and community de-escalators.
Hand in Hand
Hand in Hand is building inclusion and equality between Arab and Jewish citizens of Israel through a growing network of bilingual, integrated schools and communities. [...] The curricula in Hand in Hand’s schools are based on values that reflect both cultures and languages, oriented in multiculturalism and shared and equal citizenship. In our bilingual educational model, Hebrew and Arabic have equal status, as do both cultures and national narratives. Our thousands-strong adult community members come together year-round in celebration, solidarity, and dialogue. These community activities are geared towards parents, staff, and other active citizens who are interested in taking part in a shared community. We believe it is not apt to place the burden of creating a shared future on the shoulders of our children. We, the adults, must lead the way. These community activities are an inseparable part of our work towards building a shared society.
MAUSA - Muslim Aid USA
An international charity that provides assistance from natural disasters and conflict. They have a specific Palestine Emergency page.
Mrs Najah’s Kitchen
Emergency food relief in Gaza.
Off The Grid Missions
Off-The-Grid Missions (OTG) is a global humanitarian aid organization filling the gap in disaster-response by providing Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people with critical life-saving resources in high-risk and disaster-stricken regions around the world.
Depending on the mission, aid can include assistance with evacuations, providing food, solar lighting and emergency electric sources, and assisting with alternatives to sound based warning systems. (Assistance with Deaf and Hard-of-hearing individuals in Palestine and Israel has been mentioned on quickly updated social media sites, like Facebook.)
Palestine Red Crescent Society
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) is an officially recognized independent Palestinian National Society. It is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Standing Together
Standing Together is a grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel in pursuit of peace, equality, and social and climate justice. We organize protests across the country demanding economic equality, climate justice, and an end to the occupation. We hold workshops on grassroots power, organize get-out-the-vote campaigns, and run candidates for student union elections [related to university chapters]. Our alternative media outlet, Rosa Media, produces Hebrew and Arabic podcasts highlighting underrepresented political stories and perspectives from across Israeli society. We maintain a robust presence in Israeli social media – combatting extremist voices and advancing hope.
Women Wage Peace
Women Wage Peace is a broad, politically unaffiliated movement, which is acting to prevent the next war and to promote a non-violent, respectful, and mutually accepted solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the active participation of women through all stages of negotiations.
World Central Kitchen
World Central Kitchen is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises.
They have response teams and partners in Gaza, Israel, Lebanon, and Egypt.
Charity Navigator page for additional organizations for the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Posted: 5 February 2024. (Link to Version 2.)

The Obey Me! Side datables (+ Luke) react to seeing your human form for the first time!
(This comes from the idea that you were actually in sheep form during the exchange program until you went back to the human world, scroll down through my posts for reference)
Also I’m so so sorry I was gone so long I lost motivation and couldn’t write anything for a while but guess what? We are so back!! (I might disappear again idk yet)
Diavolo finds that you look very close to what he thought you would (he already knew), he compliments your hair and your face and he likes your hands a lot. They’re so much smaller than his! Most people are smaller than him but you really take the cake, after all humans are much shorter and weaker physically compared to demons or angels, he asks you to stay for dinner with him and Barbatos and insists on treating you to a nice night in! A slumber party just for you and him, but don’t expect to do much that doesn’t come from the book ‘Youthful Fun 101”. Maybe try teaching him some human world memes! …Or don’t actually.. he might start saying them in the wrong situations out of context. Whoops.
Barbatos knew what you looked like but was still pleasantly surprised to see you look like you in person. He also enjoys your hands.??? What is with the royal palace and hands? He likes how they look holding pens, utensils, teacups, you name it. If you ask, he’ll select outfits that will make you look very elegant and classy, perfect for a date with the young Lord! Or him, if you’d be willing to wait for a break to be had. (aka a long long time, but if you do, you’re guaranteed to have a tremendous time)
Simeon heard your voice ring through purgatory hall, a thing his ears cherish, he turns to see a sweet yet unfamiliar figure standing in the doorway, a pretty smile on your face and the eyes he couldn’t stop staring into gave away your identity without you having to re-introduce yourself. “MC! You certainly look different today, please, come in, I’m making BLT’s for lunch, I’ll prepare one for you too!” You happily accepted his offer and lunch was great!
Luke got word that you had a bit of a surprise waiting in the kitchen, which is good because he’s been meaning to have you try the cupcakes he’s been tweaking the recipe to. Walking into the kitchen there’s… a random person? Is that you, or someone else? You see him and go to hug him, and say that you got his message about the cupcakes and will try them after lunch, but, he doesn’t care about that now, he’s more interested in your new style! The difference is astounding, your hair and your face and everything! You look like a real human! He thought you actually had pink hair so he was somewhat surprised it wasn’t actually lol.
Solomon is the first to see you, and since you have some alone time, he cups your face in his hands and moves them to run his fingers through your hair. He’s so in love it’s crazy, being with you makes him feel young, and somewhat like a.. normal human? The casualty between you makes him feel less like the great sorcerer and king Solomon, instead he feels like just, Solomon. With you nothing is boring, and if you want to really excite him, you can use those soft sweet lips to give him a kiss or two?
#obey me#obey me headcanons#obey me nightbringer#obey me shall we date#obey me mc#obey me diavolo#obey me barbatos#obey me simeon#obey me solomon#obey me luke#obey me boys#obey me side characters#obey me dateables#i am so back#hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii<3#obey me crack#sorry i disappeared#we are so back#I love obey me~#tumblr fyp#fypage#please see this#I’m sorry I was gone but I’m here now

Some characters in the Cyberpunk au (part 1)
I tried to make Echo and Zane more robot-like since robots are pretty much treated like people regardless of their appereance. And Garmadon's design is from when the rgb are kids so he's younger (he's not an Oni in this au).
Characters details from within the story:
Echo
Echo is created by a younger Julien (like in his 30s) as a test run for his project to build himself an assistant to deal with his chronic disease, which, despite not being deadly per se, it could still leave him impaired in the long run and therefore he needed some sort of safe net just in case.
But sadly, the prototype's AI ends up being deficient for his purpose as he is not able to process neither human emotions nor their needs, so after much deliberation, Julien decides to set him free rather than letting him collect dust in his storage.
However, Echo could not fit into the city's human society either, as people would not accept his strange speech nor behavior. This eventually culminated in an assault by one of the problematic gangs that sprouted up after the crisis, where they thrashed the helpless robot relentlessly and even managed to damage his voice module. He then was trashed out to the Outside, and from there, mauled and hopeless, he wandered aimlessly and without a purpose in life for a long time.
But at one point through his senseless journey, he stumbled upon a couple of abandoned kids crying in the middle of the woods. Even though he did not understand what their tears meant, he was curious, so from then on he started acting as their guardian.
Thanks to them, slowly but surely he began to learn about human emotions and, as he could only do little beeps to communicate, he also figured out a way to communicate without words. Although sometimes he was still lacking as a caregiver, he worked hard to develop the necessary skills to look after their (newly discovered) basic human needs, like fishing and hunting. He even takes a third kid in after Kai and Nya find another lost boy in the woods and convince him to keep him.
As they grow, he also begins to teach them how to be self-sufficient, because he is painfully aware that he would never be capable of being a better parent due to his poor programming. It is in this context when, years later when Echo finds a potential job opportunity as the ferryman to the city, the RGB urge him to take the chance, knowing that he wants to work to feel more useful and wanting to have more solo adventures.
Even though he was reluctant to leave them behind, he is now the happiest he's ever been and still looks after his children whenever they need him (even going so far as to risk his job) out of his gratitude for granting him another chance in his doomed life.
Ronin
Currently retired, he used to be a renowned mercenary and bounty hunter in his youth. However, he gradually gained more and more enemies and got himself into more and more dangerous trouble (which is why he’s a full cyborg now), until eventually, battered and grown past the age of peak physical strength, he decided to quit to save his ass.
From then on, he started looking after the demon children around the most miserable parts of their struggling segregated neighborhood in exchange for minor treasure hunts; this is why he is now protected from his remaining enemies, as many of them grew up to become members of some of the local gangs (also as an added bonus Garmadon is a pretty ominous legend and people are kind of afraid of hurting demons because of him, but more on that later).
Although he lives rather isolated from the rest of society because of his (extensive) criminal record, he still manages to make ends meet with the treasures he got from all his exploits and the profits of the little side quests he tasks the children in exchange for his care.
No he’s not charity, he’s a wine uncle, but he is an asshole to everyone (especially humans) except the kids. In fact, even though he does not give out help for free, he always ends up rewarding them with his teachings and advice and about life on top of the food and shelter, so almost every child he's taken under his wing ends up becoming pretty competent to face the harsh society they live in.
And in particular, he grows to like the RGB a lot because he recognizes their wit and appreciates how cunning they can be, sometimes even negotiating with him and being capable enough to uno reverse his little tricks on the kids like they are equals (for example, Nya stealing her brother’s bionic eye blueprints to avoid being totally dependant on Ronin for maintenance).
In fact, later on when Nya introduces him to Jay (a human) to be his apprentice as a mechanic, she somehow convinces him despite his hate for his kind.
Bonus: when he meets Jay at first he’s irritated at him because he takes his fear and shyness as racism, but the kid is just intimidated by the sassy cyborg (don't worry, eventually he figures it out and the child grows on him, Jay is too cute).
(I will talk about Jay in my next post dw)
Zane (24NE)
He’s the successful final product of Julien’s project, a kind and refined assistance nindroid knowledgeable in human care. His role is very important to him, so when his father died he lost all purpose in life and, unable to deal with his grief on top of that existential crisis, he became depressed and stagnant, trapped in his own mind inside his creator’s abandoned home and slowly wasting away due to his mental stress and a lack of maintenance now that nobody could look after him.
And he stayed in that sorry state until the RGB found the house and, upon looting it for supplies, Nya stumbled upon the nindroid lying dormant next to Julien’s bed. When she wakes him up, his rusty voice module is damaged and he can’t speak properly (Julien is shit at making those apparently), so she repairs it as best as she can and as a result, he eventually becomes their friend.
Although they were wary at first, they understood his situation, and in the end they decided to help him by introducing him to Doctor Rashid (an oc) to learn more about biology and medicine.
Speaking of, I’ll talk more about Dr. Rashid in another future post but basically he’s an oc of mine I inserted in this au, a friend of Kai and Nya’s and sort of a parental figure.
Garmadon
He is an elusive red-eyed demon, the rarest of his kind, and a criminal brought to legendary status. Now vanished and rarely ever seen amongst the city shadows, he used to be an undefeatable wandering warrior. He would spread chaos everywhere he went and, along the way, he would mercilessly murder anyone opposed to the Demon’s Rights movement.
However, one day he disappeared suddenly from the face of the earth. But his legacy carries on to this day: he is feared universally, considered an antihero by his followers and a bloodthirsty criminal by the rest.
A few months after his disappearance, though, a human woman named Misako gave birth to a demon child with ominous red eyes. Soon, people started making the connection and his mother, who by that point had developed a deep hatred towards demons, was put under such public scrutiny that she ended up abandoning him on the Outside to leave behind the city and her trauma along with it.
Sadly for Garmadon, it was too late when he finally learned that he had a son. He’d left Misako pregnant without either of them knowing, and after he was gone she had been unable to reach him. For that reason, when he came back to the city years later and at last he found out, in the end he decided to let Lloyd be with his new family, as he he realized he had no right to take him in after being absent the entirety of his short life when he already had the two loving siblings looking after him.
After that, he turned back to his wandering, and he was barely ever seen again.

I don't like how the narrative treats Ongsa in 23.5 ...
I hate how episode 11 paints Ongsa as immature for being afraid of coming out and worrying about what people will think, as if that's not a common fear among queer youth.
Sun is portrayed as "emotionally healthy" and mature because she prioritizes her love over others' opinions. But that's the problem: Sun prioritizes her love for Ongsa instead of actually putting Ongsa's feelings and fears first. I was put off by so many narrative choices in this episode, like
Sun listing out all the reasons she's upset with Ongsa ...
.... which felt contradictory as those reasons were all connected to Ongsa's insecurities and mental struggles that Sun had previously been compassionate of.
Like, personally, I believe Sun was entitled to be upset about the Earth revelation, as being lied to is deeply hurtful.
But, she understood Ongsa's reasons at the time and didn't get mad at her because it didn't really matter. She also supported Ongsa's decision to keep their relationship hidden, being aware of Ongsa's fears and self-esteem issues.
That's why it felt so wrong when she used those reasons against Ongsa during their fight. It completely undermined the understanding and support she had shown before.
It came across as very "Look at everything I've done for you," like don't be all understanding & supportive if you're going to keep her in debt of your gratitude.
And when Ongsa explains her side, Sun hits her back with:
The girl who outed her girlfriend to her parents without knowing if she was okay with it, or if her parents would accept her, is now criticizing that girlfriend for making decisions on her own without her input?
Like I get that she was upset at Ongsa for making decisions on her own without discussing them with Sun. But what were these decisions, exactly?
Keeping their relationship a secret from her parents because she was afraid they'd be homophobic
Why does she need Sun's input for that, exactly? This is between Ongsa & her own parents. The decision to keep this a secret from her parents affects HER personally because she lives with them. Her parents potentially being homophobic could literally risk her safety & turn her whole life upside down. Sun, on the other hand, had no business outing her & AylinLuna to Ongsa's parents without asking for their input. It was not her decision to make, even if they were supportive.
Keeping their relationship a secret from everyone in school
Again, Ongsa was scared of the reaction, which is completely normal. There's nothing inherently wrong with being afraid of coming out, especially for queer youth who often navigate the complexities of dating, while being in the closet.
Back then, I was so proud of Sun for being understanding of Ongsa's decisions, considering it was her first queer relationship, and fear is a natural part of that experience. Therefore, using that understanding to guilt-trip her now, simply because they had a disagreement, feels manipulative.
Asking Sun not to drop the exchange program scholarship for her
I mean, can you blame Ongsa? If my teenage girlfriend (that I've been with for like a month, mind you) decided to throw away all her dreams & plans away to be me, I'd probably tell her to get her shit together. Like, Ongsa wasn't making the decision for Sun. She was advising her not to prioritize her 5-minute relationship over her lifelong educational & career aspirations, and at such a young age?
I understand that Sun felt hurt because Ongsa didn't want to apply for the scholarship with her. And on top of that, Ongsa didn't even understand Sun's decision of giving up the scholarship to be with her.
But getting mad at her for encouraging her to take up the scholarship is childish. Because Ongsa just didn't want to force either of them to choose between uprooting her own life for Sun's dreams or having Sun give up her dreams to stay with Ongsa.
Ongsa's parents confronting her about her relationship with Sun
Like, fine. That was a sweet scene & I'm happy that Ongsa's parents are NOT homophobic like she assumed. I'm so glad they are supportive and I want them to be MY parents.
But again, I was irked by the way they centred the conversation around Ongsa's inability to prioritize what's important to her & worrying about what people think too much.
"Be more considerate of yourself & the ones close to you," implies that Ongsa is selfish for not coming out. It implies that she thinks too much about what other people think of her just because she's afraid of coming out.
Like WHY is she being repeatedly told that she needs to stop being a people pleaser just because she was scared of telling people she's GAY?
Instead of telling her that they're sorry for not creating a comfortable & safe enough space for her to be vulnerable with them, they're like "Why would you assume we're homophobic when you never even asked?"
I was also upset that Aylin and Alpha told Ongsa about her & Sun, once again taking away her autonomy to do it herself, in her own way, on her own terms. How many times in this show is Ongsa going to get outed.
Plus, despite Ongsa's friends & siblings being supportive of her & giving her a shoulder to cry on, it was disappointing that nobody explicitly took her side.
Nobody told her that it's okay to be afraid, that she's not wrong for the choices she made. NOBODY condemned Sun for outing her. They all acted like she's the one who hurt Sun, even if they WERE understanding.
Alpha you're literally my favourite character and I love you to death. But instead of calling Sun out, it's like she was saying Aw, you've finally learnt your lesson now. Character development! Now, go get Sun back!
Big miss.
Sun's apology
Yes, Sun "apologizes" to her, but not for the right reasons. While it's positive that she did apologize and acknowledged her part in their breakup, it was disappointing that she only addressed their disagreement over the exchange program scholarship situation.
What about apologizing for outing Ongsa? For not understanding her fear of coming out?
Sun claims to love Ongsa for who she is, which, according to the show seems to imply her "loser personality" and the fact that she's a girl. But does she also love Ongsa for her anxiety, fears, insecurities, and tendency to overthink?
It's all "I love you no matter your gender, your looks, and your popularity status," but it's "tata, bye-bye," at any sign of neurodiversity. This is how they messed up the Aylin plotline too, but that's a story for another post.
—
I know that they're teenagers, but that doesn't mean they're exempt from accountability. I know that the narrative is supposed to be realistic, but that doesn't mean I agree with it. Either way, another miss from GMMTV, I guess ..

THE FUTURE (PART THREE)
Pairing: Emmett (A Quiet Place) x Original Female Character
Warning: Age Gap, Forced Procreation, Past Sexual Abuse, Angst
Three weeks after Caitlyn and Emmett returned to the Island and Caitlyn was afforded some time to settle back an, the Council summoned them for a meeting to discuss some arrangements for them and Caitlyn's fostered children.
Evelyn was on the Council as well, and she was sympathetic towards Caitlyn's precarious position as a young woman who, before coming to the island, had escaped from the clutches of those who had destroyed her life. She could not imagine what Caitlyn was going through now that, due to her age, she was asked to partake in the procreation program and, therefore, tried to help her as much as she could.
Emmett also understood Caitlyn's plight, and he sympathized with her even though he was usually rather harsh and private.
He had known loss, pain, and sacrifice himself, and as he witnessed the vulnerable young woman navigate her own struggles, which somehow made him soften a bit. Despite his reservations, he agreed to move in with her and act as a guardian to her children. Essentially, he was to play the part of father and lover without actually being neither, but the Council did not know this, other than Evelyn who was privy to Emmett's plan.
"Emmett," one of the members of council began to speak. "It is our understanding that you have agreed to be paired with Caitlyn and, considering her youth, we expect this collaboration to yield results quickly, as per the new procreation program," the representative decreed, bringing forth a chuckle.
"You fucking people," he sighed, rubbing the crease between his brows. "Why someone would go through the trouble of reproducing when we can barely offer a decent life to those who already live here is beyond me but, yes, I agree to be paired with Caitlyn," he exclaimed, making his position clear.
The air in the room grew heavy with tension, intensifying with every word he spoke and a ripple of unease crept through the Council's ranks, challenging their demands and causing uncertainty to bubble beneath the surface. Evelyn observed the exchange silently, proud of Emmett's defiance and confident in his abilities to navigate the challenges that lay ahead and, yet, she had to caution him.
"Emmett, we need your assurance that you will comply with the program," she emphasized, trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy, causing him to sigh again.
Then, Emmet nodded nonetheless, understanding the implications of his earlier words. Being paired with Caitlyn meant that she was safe from other men who might abuse her just like the men on the mainland did before she was rescued. This was not something Emmett wanted for her and, as thus, he agreed to comply.
"We will do our best," he then reassured the council while you sat there, silently, nodding and wearing a forced smile. You tried to hide how you felt about this arrangement, but the subtle glint of distress in your eyes gave you away. Yet, you silently hoped that this would be enough to keep you safe from the prying, and at times malevolent, eyes of those that ruled over this strange island.
The meeting carried on for a while, as they discussed all the details of your new living arrangements and it was decided that Emmett had to move in with you and make available his cabin on the beach for new arrivals.
You were also told that you had three months to fall pregnant, failing which you would be paired with someone else.
Emmett observed the distress etched on your face, knowing the immense anxiety this news provoked. But like the strong and resilient woman you were, you reframed the situation in a different light. Three months was enough time to devise an alternative plan. Three months meant you could continue working on your farm, growing food for the community. Three months was enough time to consolidate your relationship with Emmett, forging a friendship that could ultimately buffer the emotional storm that was about to unleash upon you.
And this is exactly how you chose to look at it, on the outside at least.
***
That same day, Emmett brought his belongings to your house
. You watched as he carried his bag, taking in the sturdiness of the worn leather, the way it hung from his shoulders, remnants of a once simpler time before everything changed, before the world as they knew it collapsed.
"I will take the floor," he signed, rolling out the swag in the living room which is where you too were sleeping. In the corner of the Livingroom there was a small bed which was yours and in the one small single bedroom next to it, the two boys were sleeping on mattresses on the floor. You had no kitchen and only an outdoor shower. Your house was simple as you had built it with your own hands, but Emmett did not seem to mind.
It was a roof over their heads, after all. He nodded approvingly as he surveyed the small but cozy home. Despite the austere conditions, Emmett could not help but appreciate the tranquility of your surroundings.
"You did well here, Caitlyn," he complimented, as you watched him shed his worn-out jacket, revealing the muscular contours of his upper body beneath. The cuts and creases on his arms were fitting reminders of the life you both led on this island.
Though Emmett was a seasoned survivor, Caitlyn wondered if he was capable of fathoming the inner turmoil you harbored as you navigated your complicated existence on the Island.
Emmett's eyes fell on the crude drawings that adorned every vertical surface of your wooden walls. They were children's stories, representations of their lives that your two boys had curated. He smiled warmly at the simplicity of their stories, the pure joy and imagination they conveyed.
They reminded Emmett of his own children who had died on the first day of the invasion and his look softened almost instantly.
His thoughts were miles away, lingering on the memories of their soft laughter, beaming smiles, and his heart caught in his throat with a longing so deep, only the silence of their world could contain it.
But things were different on the Island. Life was fragile, but Emmett had learned to be resilient. It's all about adjusting to new situations, and this was one of them.
Reaching for his bearded chin, you made him look at you as, clearly, he was lost in his own thoughts right now.
"Thank you," you signed, grateful for his genuine show of support. "I truly appreciate it."
Emmett met your gaze, his piercing blue eyes radiating strength and resilience, as well as a shared understanding. "You are welcome, Caitlyn," he signed back sincerely. "But don't expect too much from me," he went on to add, his wry smile serving as a reminder that, despite his strong-willed appearance, Emmett still grappled with his own demons and unresolved issues.
"The boys are your responsibility, and I will stay out of your way wherever I can and I expect you to stay out of mine," he continued, his hands swiftly conveying his message, as Caitlyn studied him with equal parts curiosity and suspicion.
His blunt honesty startled her, and she found herself struggling to respond, until eventually, she nodded her assent. "Understood." She knew that he did this merely to protect her and this was enough for her to be grateful to him.
It was a sham they were running for the sake of the procreation program and she had no intention of falling pregnant. Living with Emmett saved her from being abused by other men and offered her a measure of protection which, at least for now, was all that mattered to her.
To be continued...

Lin attending an event not as the chief but as tenzin’s wife? The First Lady of the air nation and mother of airbenders
(I’m sure those titles annoy her and I think it’s funny)
You have no idea how often I've been thinking about this before you sent this!! ~~ 😍😍😍
It's a fundraiser a SWT society club is continue its programs, notably its exchange programs for SWT youth to visit Republic City.
In honor of Tenzin's heritage, Lin secretly buys a dress specifically for him...and of course, the other attendees of this event.
As soon as Lin steps out of the closet, Tenzin's jaw drops and his face heats up. A dark blue one-shoulder mermaid dress. The lower part of the skirt was a glamorous take of traditional SWT patterns with sky blue and white stitching + pearls.
Lin's hair and make-up is already done, a darker rouge and light smokey eyeshadows for a sultry and seductive appearance. Her hair is done in a low bun with a side part, rather than the middle part. She pinned several white orchids along the side of her bun.
"What do you think?" Lin spun slowly, hands gliding across her hips.
Tenzin blinked, loosening his collar and unbuttoning his mantle. "I think we should skip the event."
Lin shook her head and avoided him. "No, I spent a great deal on looking good for tonight. I don't want it to be wasted on only you seeing it."
"A waste? Honey, I should be the only one seeing you like this. Now just stand still while I undress you."
"Don't you want your wife to look good at an event?"
"Of course I do. But I just want you all to myself right now....for tonight...forever."
Lin rolled her eyes and approached Tenzin. She adjusted his mantle so it sat perfectly, then she buttoned it. "You can have me when we come home. I promise I won't resist in any way."
Tenzin grinned, hands on her hips. "You won't?"
"Nope. I'll let you devour me any way you want," Lin murmured, standing on her tip toes and pecking her lips softly against his.
"Alright, then let's go so I can show off how gorgeous my wife is."
-----------------
As soon as they entered the venue, all eyes shot to the couple.
Actually, they were staring at Lin Beifong.
Though Lin obviously wore clothes other than her armor, many were not used to seeing a glamorous Lin Beifong gracing the world. Tenzin felt a huge wave of pride that he was the one escorting her and that he was the one Lin called her "husband."
Flashes from the press almost blind them. Lin and Tenzin allow them a few photos before venturing further inside.
Compliments flow from every direction, some people with genuine wonder and others trying to kiss her ass.
"Oh, Chief Beifong. You look wonderful! A true First Lady of the Air Nation and mother of the next generation of airbenders!"
Lin does her best to not roll her eyes or raise the ground beneath them. Why do they always have to mention "First Lady" crap? Or "Mother of the Air Nation" shit? She's just a woman who married an airbender. Big whoop.
All the formalities are exchanged and dinner is served. Lin and Tenzin are seated with some other members who are well-known in the community. It's...alright. But Tenzin knows that men are looking at her.
A live band is playing for entertainment and to set the ambiance for the evening.
Tenzin grasps Lin's hand and kisses it. The affection surprises Lin since they're still seated and they've always kept PDA at a minimal at these kinds of things.
He stands, without releasing her hand. "Come dance with me, love."
Though Lin still feels a bit intimidating to others, she's blushing and bows her head to the table. Everyone is soaking in every interaction they are showing, and Lin knows this will be part of the gossip train. Possibly front news too. Who knows?
"Alright." Lin stands. "Excuse us then."
Tenzin leads her to the dance floor, his hand already slinking to her waist. They can feel the burning of stares from other people and the whispers from all over the room. He pulls her closer so that her hips bump into his.
"This isn't a date, Tenzin," Lin whispers as they find themselves on the dance floor.
Taking one hand in his and placing his other around Lin's waist, he pulls her almost flush to his body. Tenzin leans closer. "I know, but we hardly have any time for date nights...we have our kids, then Korra is always stirring up trouble..."
"Mhm," Lin hums as they waltz and spin gracefully beneath the chandelier lights.
"I figured why not combine tonight's event into a date night?" Tenzin's eyes gloss down to Lin's breasts. "Especially when you look ravishing."
"Control yourself. Or should I be worried that you'll fuck me right here on the dance floor so we can end up on the news?"
Tenzin dipped her slowly. Lin could feel his breath close to her neck. "You just say the word, love, and I'll carry you out of here."
A chuckle. "Do you think you'd be able to last that long? Why not just fuck me in the powder room?"
"I can do that, too."
Lin clicks her tongue, and Tenzin raises her back up. He pulls her closer and kisses her knuckles before beginning the dance again.
"Everyone is looking at us, Tenz..." she whispers.
"No, they're looking at you." He kisses her forehead. "Just like me."
The slow dance ends, and a more upbeat song begins. One of their favorites.
"Tenz, do you...?"
"Our song when we were teenagers," he finishes with a smile.
"Dance with me properly for this song, and I'll indulge you."
Tenzin laughs. "Deal."
To everyone's surprise, while they dance to the beat and melody, Tenzin uses his airbending to lift himself and Lin. Like leaves dancing with the wind. Lin giggles, holding on to her husband anytime her feet lift up from the floor. Soon, both are laughing together with joy, memories, love, and lust.
Photographers capture their happy dance. One shot is taken of them staring at each other with the deepest love in their eyes as they're elevating above the ground.
That photo ends up on the front cover.
#linzin#lin beifong#tenzin#tlok#now you got me wanting to write this more prettily for the You Are My Life collection hehe
