#oh I feel you about rejection#but I don't think you should give up just yet ?#clearly this means a lot for you to have put so much effort into a pitch !#so I suppose I'll give my thoughts on this pitch to give you feedback !#I love the art style !#but the action where he breaks out of the bindings (and his method of doing so) don't quite read clearly to me--#does he just pull the hooks out of the wall through sheer force ? is there some part of the interaction that I didn't catch properly ?#maybe foreshadow the break through his thoughts or more talking with miss bliss to visually explore the scene#and slow down a little#I think the “guatemala” panel (the very first one) could use a background to firther set the scene#where are we in guatemala ?#maybe an exterior shot of the temple#the final pages do leave several interesting questions !#are they doing this regularly ?#is it a roleplay dramaticized through the comic or actual canon ?#what's the recurring theme between chapters#if there would be multiple ?#is it capitalist colonial white “ceo” vs latino Indiana Jones style archaeologist#or is it dramaticized bedroom roleplay ?#or is it all a front for their relationship which runs deeper ?#I'm curious as to how they see the inherent divide in their work and where the chemistry originates from#but on a more logistical “pitch” side#did you provide any extra information in the pitch that wasn't presented here ?#because I'm genuinely curious#like is this an example chapter in its entirety or just the broad strokes ?#how is the publishing schedule looking like for adding more ?#I'm reaching tag limit here so I'll be briefer than I want to be#I'm curious as someone trying to break into the market myself trying to learn more#but also as someone who likes your work ! more importantly as someone who likes your work.#mera

TECHNOPRENEURSHIP 005:
PITCH OF DOOM!
Pitch Day Jitters and a Heartfelt Triumph!
March 15, 2024. Hey everyone! Buckle up for a ride through the nerve-wracking world of pitching tech ideas! Today's story is about my experience presenting my techno idea – a concept that could potentially change lives for the better. Picture this: It's presentation day, and my heart is pounding like a drum solo. My classmates are going one by one, sharing their innovative ideas, and the pressure is definitely on! I know I need to deliver a clear, concise pitch that grabs everyone's attention. The wait seemed like an eternity, but finally, it was my turn to step into the spotlight. With a deep breath, I introduced myself and launched into my presentation. Here's the thing: heart disease is a major health concern worldwide. Unfortunately, during emergencies, people often don't receive help fast enough, which can have serious consequences. That's where my tech idea, HA (Heart Alert), comes in! This innovative wearable would be your heart's guardian angel, monitoring your heart health and taking action in case of emergencies. Imagine this scenario: You're enjoying a walk in the park when suddenly you experience a heart attack. HA detects the emergency and jumps into action, emitting a loud noise to alert people around you. Simultaneously, it sends an alert to emergency services with your exact location, ensuring swift assistance. But wait, there's more! HA can also display your medical information on the badge, allowing bystanders to provide appropriate first aid until help arrives. Plus, it can notify your loved ones about the emergency, giving them a chance to rush to your side. After my presentation, a wave of relief washed over me, but the real test was yet to come – the Q&A session. Questions flew from the audience, and one person wanted to know how the HA badge would be worn. I explained it would be a comfortable sticker worn on your chest, close to your heart. The questions kept coming, but I was prepared! All that practice paid off, and I answered each one with confidence. To my surprise, our professor did something unexpected. Instead of grilling me further, he seemed genuinely interested in the idea! He even explained that a lot of questions are a good sign – they show that people are engaged and have questions because they're interested. That was a huge boost of confidence! Finally, the moment of truth arrived. Would my idea get the green light? And guess what? Thumbs up! It was an incredible feeling to see my hard work and passion validated. This is just the first step on HA's journey. There's a lot of development ahead, but the potential impact this technology could have on people's lives is incredibly exciting. Stay tuned for future blog posts where I'll delve deeper into the details of HA! In the meantime, I'd love to hear from you! Have you ever had to pitch an idea in front of an audience? What was your experience like? Leave a comment below and let's chat! Pre-Pitch Jitters and a Lucky Charm (Maybe?) By the way, speaking of nerves, let me tell you about the minutes leading up to my presentation. Everyone was feeling the pressure, and while I was practicing my pitch over and over again, a classmate offered me a little advice. They suggested putting a one-peso coin in my shoe for good luck! Hey, I wasn't going to turn down any extra help, so I slipped it in there. Who knows, maybe it did bring me a little extra confidence! Want to see my HA presentation in more detail?

"I'ma get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans, be your teenage dream tonight. Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans, be your teenage dream tonight."
You knocked on the door insistently. Your heat is in full swing now, and you can practically smell your alpha through the door.
The door swung open with a flourish, "Where's the fire?!"
You squared your shoulders. You stood up as tall as you could while fighting that empty feeling in your core.
"Where's Lia?"
"With Irene and Seulgi. Why-" You cut Jisoo off with a bruising kiss that ends up pushing you back into Jisoo's apartment.
"You're-you in heat?" Jisoo already knew the answer. She could practically smell you from down the hall.
"Great deduction." You seemed a bit miffed about breaking apart, but Jisoo needed to have some things put into perspective.
" Did you want me to bite you? Do you want to be my mate?"
You huffed. Wasn't it obvious?
"Yes, Jisoo."
"...." Jisoo sniffled.
"Are you crying?"
"No. There's like a lot of dust around here and-"
You latched back on to Jisoo's lips with a deep groan. Jisoo relaxed into it.
"Unless you want to be interrupted you're going to have to stop and let me tell Irene and Seulgi they need to keep Lia a bit longer."
You whined.
Jisoo's not looking at you, she's instead looking for her phone (it's in her hand) frantically. You decided this was the perfect time to start fighting your clothes off of your body. If only because you're starting to overheat.
"Oh, I was holding it!"
The One With The Kid: Take Lia to Disneyworld or something for the next like three days
Scary Fairy Godmother: uh...why?
The One With The Kid: Y/N
Scary Fairy Godmother: Say no more👀👌🏼
Scary Fairy Godmother: P.S. I told you so
Irene hadn't told her shit, but that was neither here nor there at this point.
Jisoo placed her phone into her back pocket. She turned back around to you.
"You're naked. Well, that certainly makes things easier."
You don't really say much of anything in answer. You're splayed across Jisoo's couch, your hand hidden between your thighs.
"Well, we're definitely not doing this on the couch."
"You're going to make me carry you, aren't you?" Jisoo is already performing the task before she even finishes her own sentence.
The apartment isn't that big, so it doesn't take long for jisoo to navigate the hallway connecting the livingroom to the bedrooms.
She set you down on the bed before frantically wrestling off her own clothing, then joining you on the mattress.
Jisoo ran her hand up your side. You pressed yourself into Jisoo's s cool palm as much as your body would allow.
"Remember that time I got you to beg. Yeah, I'm totally going to do that again."
You're scowl is extremely lackluster by normal standards. And it all but disappeared as Jisoo pressed her lips to the side of her throat.
"Chu." You mewled.
Jisoo slid up to the lobe of your ear, a direct contrast to her left hand which was slithering down your stomach to replace your hand between your legs.
"Yes?"
You jerked in response to Jisoo's fingers coming into delicate contact with your center.
"Please, need your knot." Your words leave your mouth in small pants. Jisoo hummed lightly, and you swore you could feel it.
"Hm. That was easier than I thought it would be." Jisoo mumbled, her lips grazed over your ear as she spoke. She easily batted away your hand and circled her fingers.
"Fuck, you're stunning."
Jisoo occupied her opposite hand with trailing her fingers over a pert nipple, drawing a small gasp.
You keened, you brung your hand up to claw at jisoo's shoulder, urging her to provide you with more.
Jisoo's lips smashed down onto yours. You readily gave up control to Jisoo. It would be a bit redundant to keep up the ruse now.
Eventually, Jisoo does start doing what you wanted her to.
Her fingers left the sensitivity of your clit to do the same to her entrance. Only this time, she doesn't tease for long. Her index finger slipped into you.
You moaned loudly, back arching enough to push into her slightly.
She continued to pump her finger in and out of you slowly. Partially distracted by the pleasure playing across your face.
"Jisoo. More. Please."
Another finger of the alpha's slipped into you, the resulting whimper is probably the loudest one yet and just as desperate as all its predecessors.
She pulled out then pushed back in slowly, her palm catching on your swollen clit.
Jisoo sped up without having to be urged to. She could see exactly what you wanted in your face.
Your mewls and whimpers grew in pitch and frequency. Your hips bucked up into Jisoo's hand on just about every thrust.
"F-fuck..."
You released into Jisoo's palm. Eased over the edge by Jisoo's light nips at your collarbone. You're hips stuttered upward with aftershocks.
You pulled jisoo into you by the shoulder for a heated kiss.
You gasped as you felt the tip of Jisoo's length nudge lightly against your entrance.
Jisoo pushed into you haltingly. Making sure you're sharp breathes were of pleasure and not of pain.
You watched Jisoo bite down on her lip as she bottomed out.
She can tell you're close again and she's not that far behind. She's sure under different circumstances that she would be mildy embarrassed at that, but neither of you can bring yourselves to care that much.
Jisoo stared at your neck constantly. Even in regular conversation she often eyed your neck subtly. If she wasn't an alpha then you'd assume she was a vampire. So, you're not surprised that she immediately latched onto the spot that she often eyed as soon as she got the chance.
"F-fuck, Alpha, faster." You mewled. You figured Jisoo wasn't exactly taking direction from you, but she does increase her pace into you.
Her knot had formed quickly, and it only took a couple more thrusts of her hips for it to slip into you.
You stretched your neck as you released, presenting the expanse of skin to Jisoo. The alpha growled lowly, latching onto your neck. The skin laminating your neck stayed intact and Jisoo took pride in that. Any pain that you would have felt is quickly overtaken by the visceral relief you feel of your bond coming together.
You're thrown into another shutter at the feeling of Jisoo spilling inside of you.
Jisoo pulled her hips back experimentally. Mentally clapping herself on the back when you groaned at the tug.
She carefully flipped so you were on top of her and she didn't crush you when her arms finally gave out.
"I feel like we should high five or something after that." Jisoo suggested.
You blinked at her tiredly, "Say something goofy again and I'll leave. You're weird."
"Yeah, but you love me." It came out a bit questioning despite Jisoo's probable attempts to keep it a statement.
"Yeah, I do love you." You let your head rest in the crook of Jisoo's neck.
Jisoo took this opportunity to test out a theory. She stuck her nose in the crook of your neck and inhaled deeply. Her theory is just about instantly confirmed.
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
"I'm sorry, did you just sniff me?"
"Needed to confirm something."
"And what might that be?"
"You're pregnant."
"I don't think it works that quickly, jisoo." You very distantly acknowledged that this did explain a few things.
"Not talking about from today, though if you weren't already, you definitely would be now. I'm talking about a couple months back. I was a bit too occupied to think about protection. I had my suspicions back at the hospital, but I couldn't like just stick my nose in your neck. And you would have kicked me if I just handed you a pregnancy test." Jisoo shrugged as much as she could with a person laying on top of her.
"You didn't think that would have been pertinent information!?"
"I wasn't sure!"
"We will resume this conversation when I'm not in heat."
Almost as soon as those words left her mouth, you were out of it again.
~•~
Jisoo thinks you tried to kill her during your heat. You just kept going, like you had absolutely no need for sleep or food, which Jisoo knew not to be true.
You barely had any recollection of any conversations you had (well except for one) while you were in heat, so you think Jisoo is full of it.
Speaking of the one you do remember...
"So..." You inquired.
"So?" Jisoo is currently in the middle of a staring contest with her three year old. The three year old is winning.
"I'm pregnant..." You continued.
The three year old won.
"I mean we should probably see a doctor to confirm, but I'm pretty sure. It's hard to explain how I know. It's like there's you and then something else. Something extra? Like I can smell you and you plus something different. You but sweeter? I don't know." Jisoo grimaced. That was a horrible explanation, but it was the best she could do.
You chuckled lightly, "I believe you, Jisoo. That's not really what I meant. I mean what does it mean for us?"
Jisoo removed Lia from the counter and placed her on the floor. The toddler ran away hurriedly only to smack into your legs.
"Well, I imprinted on you-"
That explained why you could never tell who it was based off of emotions alone. Chaeyoung isn't very intense in general and everytime Jisoo had an intense emotion you were already having that same intense emotion as well. Hard to tell the difference between very sad and also very sad.
"-and I mated you, and I got you pregnant, I think I successfully managed to trick you into sticking with me for the rest of our lives." Jisoo smiled triumphantly.
"You seem way too proud of that." You bent down to pick up Lia. You settled her on your hip.
"Oh, that's because I am. I'd even do a little victory dance if I thought I wouldn't trip and bust my head open." Jisoo settled for patting herself on her back enthusiastically.
You didn't reward any of that with a response, but you did gaze at Jisoo lovingly. You don't think you could hide that even if you tried anymore.
"I-"
"If you're about to apologize again, save it. I've told you, it's okay. Besides, I won." Jisoo scooted from behind the kitchen island and approached you. You don't try to convince Jisoo that you weren't going to apologize, because Jisoo could read you now. Jisoo just knew.
"I don't know how I feel about you applying I was something to be won."
Jisoo smiled softly, "I got you, didn't I? Which is exactly what I wanted. So yeah, I won."
You sighed wistfully as Jisoo placed a soft kiss to your cheek, ignoring Lia's glare, "So you were first place after all, huh?"
You smirked, "Always."
