#full of these huge technological booms

[kn-1013]

i know i've been on my anti-modern AU propaganda lately and it's just because i've been delving deeper into the sally face ao3 tags and i just keep finding them over and over. it's frustrating because there are a lot of really interesting concepts out there that would fit really well and make for a genuinely really interesting story in the 90s, but they get thrown off because the author doesn't know enough about the 90s to write for that time period, so they make it into a modern au instead. there's nothing inherently wrong with that, and i think there's room for modern aus to be done well here, i even have my own half-serious modern au, but i do think you often lose part of what makes sally face special when you turn the story into any other kind of contemporary love story/horror story/etc where all the characters just have ~iphones~ and use ~snapchat~ and all these things.

like, the 90s was not some kind of alien planet, and a vast number of the problems that you're solving with smartphones can be worked around very easily with just a bit of research or thought. long distance walkie-talkies, pagers, and PDAs were all (though sometimes expensive) perfectly capable contemporary technologies for talking to people when you are not physically with them. in fact, a lot of the abbreviations and slang we use over text right now was developed by young people in the 90s using pagers to talk to their friends. PDAs were a bit more out there in the 90s than they were in the aughts, but it's still completely plausible for henry in particular to have one, considering he already owns a home computer, which was not at all ubiquitous in the 90s. considering the apparent financial limitations that he and sal live under (it's never stated explicitly, but i mean, they live at addison's, they can't be in a great financial situation) and how insanely expensive computers were back then, it's more than likely that henry's job requires a home computer of some sort, meaning that a PDA would probably be incredibly useful to him if he were away from it, because there's no way in hell he's getting himself a luggable or another kind of early laptop to bring with him, that would've been too expensive.

and that's ignoring the fact that so many situations where two characters are apart form each other but need to communicate could just be fixed by rewriting the plot so that they can meet in person. i know that's not what people wanna hear because rewriting sucks, but you can find a lot of reasons for characters to meet each other randomly or to have reasons to meet up later if you give it a bit of problem-solving. part of what makes the pre-smartphone era interesting to write for and so optimized for horror, and probably a big reason that gabry chose this time period for the story in the first place, is the level of disconnection between each character in the story BECAUSE they don't have things like smartphones. having to work around this technological limitation is part of the fun, because you get a very enjoyable push and pull of closeness vs. disconnection between each character.

this is great for alienating ash, the only one who doesn't live in the apartments (except for neil), and causing her internal conflict about her relationships with the rest of her friends, especially as the story progresses and they start discovering more shit about the cult, and her instincts are to call the cops because she's a lot more normal than her friends are. or, it's good for alienating travis, who also doesn't live there and is far more isolated than everyone else (more on that next), or for creating an unhealthy and codependent relationship between sal and larry, who, with the walkies, are the only two in the friend group who DO have semi-instant access to each other all the time--all of which are plot points i put into my writing.

and if that's not enough, think about the implications for travis's character in particular. his father is a preacher, and a huge talking point of christian extremists in the 90s was that things like television were evil and demonic in some way. they campaigned against these things heavily. with the kind of person that we know kenneth phelps to be and the way many technologies we take for granted today, including TVs, were still being adopted by older generations, it's not out of the question at all that travis doesn't own something like a TV or a VCR, putting him even more out of the loop with what other people his age are doing than he already would be, having approximately 0 friends. he doesn't know what DND is, and he doesn't know how to look it up because he's not familiar with computers or the internet, he just knows his dad thinks it's demonic, so he steers clear of it.

the intention of cult leaders like kenneth is to keep their victims as isolated as possible, and not owning a TV, VCR, home computer, etc, is a great way to keep travis and his sisters isolated and disconnected from their peers, and therefore more connected to the cult, and it's a lot easier to justify not owning these things in the 90s, where the story already takes place, than it is if you're writing a modern au. a modern au for this situation would require all kinds of technological workarounds to make sure that travis owned a phone but couldn't do anything his father didn't want him doing on it. he's the kind of father who would go through and monitor his kid's texts, he wouldn't just let travis have snapchat or whatever, but i digress.

i know i'm just doing my petty bitching and people can do whatever they want however they want to, but i really do feel like there's a huge piece of the story that is lost in turning the sally face story as it is into some kind of modern au, and it's pretty unfortunate to me that people seem to think that the 90s was such a primitive alien world of incomprehensible technology that they don't want to write for that time period at all. it's really not as terrifying as it seems, genuinely. a surface level understanding of the era's technologies would be straightforward enough for anyone who wasn't there to write something perfectly coherent, if lacking in specific cultural/technological details that nobody but me cares about because i have autism.

if you're a sally face fan reading this and you struggle with writing for the american 90s because you weren't there, go look up pagers (also called beepers) and PDAs (which are basically early pocket computers) and how they work. ask older family members if or how they used them. go look at the different kinds of home computers of the era from companies like packard-bell and IBM. learn what a pentium III is/was, or what it means to be X86 compatible. look at the history of the CD-ROM, and how when it was invented, it could contain so much data that consumers had absolutely no idea what to do with them until people started putting video games on them. go watch cathode ray dude, LGR or techmoan on youtube.

go learn things about this era, it's good for you and you will have a lot of fun, even if you're not like me, i promise, and your fanfiction will be better for it. please learn about this era. take my hand. we can go to beautiful places together.

arcane sevika x female reader (nsfw)

a/n: i'm going to war (exam phase is about to start), therefore i must make haste (my hiatus starts again). also, i got a new job so i'm not sure when my hiatus will end :(

pt. 1 ; masterlist

grabbing the broom from the back of your mechanics shop, you start you usual closing routine as the streets of Zaun more active as the day ends. growing up in Zaun, you appreciate the livelihood of the people, but grew wary of the criminality rising abruptly at the end of each day. enforcers started to patrol the quiet streets of Zaun and hang up missing posters of Jinx, who you've been visited by for several occasions over the last few months for tech equipment she required. you grew fond of the girl and would occasionally even slip a few extra pieces, and she would thank you proudly by telling you about her latest new technological improvements.

one time, she told you about a prosthesis as her newest invention. Sevika immediately came to your mind and the way she held your cheek the last and first time you saw her. or the way her bionic arm held your hips so strongly as you rode her strap. shit, you really are down bad for this woman who doesn't even know your name.

as several months gone by since then, you managed to gather your savings and invest it into your shop for new techs and products to sell. you were finally able to call your shop your full time job and scrap your shifts at the brothel completely. Sevika didn't only save your shop, but she saved you from drowning in exhaustion as the only thing you ever did was work day and night.

you hoped to see her again, but your hope was slowly scarped as each month passed by.

after sweeping the last corner of your shop, you only had to rearrange your products before you could finally leave to go home. as you tidied the screws collection, the door to your shop opened audibly by your crystals dangling from the person entering.

"we're closed-" you start, but stop as you see the person at the entrance.

there she was, standing in her usual cloak and a hood that hid her face, but you recognised her nonetheless. she took her hood off with a smile as she looked at you. "good to see you again."

suddenly, you felt naked again. although she knew your identity (prolly even the whole time), the mask would hide your facial expressions and reactions. now, you are standing there with a shocked impression written on your face, unsure of how to react to the person that is the reason for your shop to still be alive.

"i see you created something out of this shop since the last time I've seen you," she speaks with a soft smile on her lips as she takes a look around in your shop. "thank you. you were actually a huge help last time we've seen each other," you respond, your hands linked together behind your back as you turn to look around your shop.

honestly, your shop is quite shady from outside with its half-broken broken neon sign spelling the name mechs n' treasures. but once you enter, you quickly realise that it's a one man's business by it's intricate appearance. it has so much personality now that you have as much time as you'd like to spent in it, decorating it with your favourite things you've collected over the years that weren't too precious to be displayed in your small flat above your shop. a few colourful crystals dangle around your entrance and the door to your flat, reflecting the neon lights from the streets of Zaun onto the mechanic pieces you sell. tidiness is your top priority, since it's hard to keep such an old shop neat and clean. you love your old and shady, but precious personal shop and wouldn't wish it to be any different. business seemed to be booming recently, too. you had no idea why, but Zaun is a quick and fast learning city with its advantages and disadvantages, resulting in people visiting your shop to buy the pieces they require for their newest project.

now, Sevika is standing in the centre of your shop, taking one of the mechanical pieces into her hands and looking at it in detail.

"can i help you with something?" you ask, looking at her with curiosity. after she puts the mechanic piece back into its tray, she says "I was hoping you could me out with this."

she reveals her bionic arm, where you see the its shimmer capsules completely shattered. surprised, you walk towards her and take her bionic arm into her hand to have a closer look. you inhale her smoky scent and suddenly were confronted with a vivid memory of the first night you guys met at the brothel, as you sat in her lap writhing under her touch. focus. you twisted a few pieces to inspect the reachability of the broken capsules. "I assume you won't be able to take it off?" you ask her, your eyes still fixed on an odd piece you've found.

she shakes her head, "it would be a hazard trying to put it on afterwards. do you think you'll still manage to repair, though?"

after twisting the last few pieces for inspection, you leave her arm. "shouldn't be no issue," you take a look at your wristwatch and notice how late it already is. a few extra minutes won't hurt, you decide.

you nod towards the counter, "take a seat, i'll be right with you."

entering the back of your shop and take a big breath. fuck, this intimidating woman still effects you after several months. at this point, you were sure you even forgot about her.

you grab your toolbox and head to Sevika, who is waiting for you behind your counter on a chair. her cloak is thrown over your register's desk, revealing a similar outfit you saw at the brothel. only now you realise how muscular this woman actually is. her arm is almost fully exposed by her sleeveless top and a choker around her neck makes you shake off your dirty thoughts.

you place the toolbox on the counter before you take a seat next to it. Sevika watches every move of yours, making you even more nervous than you already are.

grabbing your first tool, you lay her arm in you lap and start unscrewing the plates that cover the isolation of the shimmer capsules. her arm felt heavy, but oddly warm in your lap for the fact that it's broken. you remember how the same arm pinned you down on her strap a few months ago.

your brain is almost about to malfunction if Sevika wouldn't have interrupted your thoughts, "so, how is your shop going?" she asks as she leans the side of her upper body on the counter. when you look down at her, she's only mere centimetres away from your face. her grey eyes digging into yours. your pussy clenches as your breathing stops at the sight of her. you quickly look away and focus on her arm again. "it's going well," you start and grab for another tool to remove the shattered pipes. "sometimes it's exhausting to handle a shop alone, but you get used to it, you know."

her eyes follow your movements on her arm while she hums as an indication for you to continue. "once, a dude i recognised from the brothel came to pick up a few things and i couldn't help but wonder what his day job is. he was a sex worker as well, so he probably even recognised me," you tell her. it's unusual for you to share thoughts and memories of your old job. you weren't ashamed of it, but you much happier spending your time in your own shop and not thinking back to your old routine.

she shifts in her seat to look up at you, "i'm glad you were able to escape that shit hole, beautiful," she says quietly, careful of the words she chooses, "do you still remember that night?"

your movements halt immediately at her questions and you felt her eyes laying heavily on you, watching every single movement. the way you took a deep breath, trying not to appear nervous around her. the mere thought of that night made you feel butterflies in your stomach and wetness in your core.

"i do," you confess. without meeting her eyes, you continue your maintenance on her bionic arm in your lap, trying to suppress the urge of jumping into her lap and kissing her senseless. "do you?" you ask in almost a whisper, unsure if you even wanted to know the answer.

when she didn't, your eyes travelled to hers in question. she seemed to be in deep thoughts as well before she asked "how couldn't i?"

her eyes finally meet yours and you recognise such sincerity and trust in them, you couldn't help the soft smile that sneaks onto your lips.

"you were the only thing on my mind in this cruel world," she continues, making you feel several things at once. "and i don't even know your name."

you chuckled and referred your eyes back to your almost finished work, concentrating on exchanging the pipes.

"so, you're not even going to tell me?" she asks amused.

"what, my name?" you act oblivious, knowing exactly what she wanted. now it was her turn to chuckle at your teasing. "you can be a pain in the ass, you know that?"

you shake your head in disbelief with a smile on your lips as you screw on the last iron plate on her arm.

"move it," you command and she obliges. she moves her joints, making the shimmer that was left in her tank fuel her new pipe, while moving it a few more times in several directions. you've never seen machinery working with shimmer so closely. you wonder how the metal felt like against your skin.

ripping you out of your trance, she stands up. right in front you, almost between your legs, which you desperately wanted to close at the sight as you felt your pussy clench.

"thank you," she looks at you, her eyes wandering from your neck down to the rest of your body. it's like she can't help herself, checking you out as you sit on her cloak next to your work instruments.

"you even look beautiful in your casual attire," she whispers as her eyes meet yours again.

"so," you wrap your index finger through her choker, "how about taking it off and see what's hidden underneath?" you cock your head before you pull her closer. your legs are opened by her thighs between them as she looks down at you, clearly surprised by your boldness. "i don't fuck nameless girls," she says in an equal tone to her low chuckle.

you take a quick look at her lips, wondering what they would feel like on yours. "didn't seem so last time we've seen each other."

your finger is still wrapped around her chocker as you grin. she didn't answer. she knows you're messing with her.

she places her arms on each of your sides, the sounds of her bionic arm moving leaving a shudder throughout your body. she's dangerously close.

"if i remember correctly, last time you've fucked yourself, princess."

shocked by her comment, your grin fades as you suddenly remember how you rode her in that brothel, eagerly chasing your orgasm as she guided you through it.

you let go of her choker and rest your hand at the back of her neck instead, caressing the soft strands of brunette hair as you try to maintain yourself.

"y/n," you whisper. Sevika's eyes widen at first, but a slight grin sets on her lips at the sound of your name.

"beautiful name, princess," she whispers back and you feel her breath on your lips with each sound she speaks.

you close your eyes as you feel her full lips grazing yours. "y/n," she whispers repeatedly. her lips finally touch yours, first cautiously but confident after a few seconds of lingering. you copy her motions and gasp when her tongue grazes your lower lip.

pressing her more firmly against yourself, you part your lips for her tongue to enter. she faintly tastes like cigarettes, but more of a harsh liquor you can't really pinpoint. your arms cling desperately around her neck, feeling her torso pressed around yours in your heated kiss. you lock her against your core with your legs around her hips, moaning as she leaves your lips to leave kisses on your neck. "you have no idea how often i thought of kissing you," she whispers before she trails down kisses to your exposed shoulder and collarbone, licking the line of it and pressing soft bites against your sweet spots.

instead of responding, you pull her up again and lock your lips together. you press your lower body against her in search of the friction you desperately seek, but with no success. her lips form into a smirk against your lips as she realises what you're seeking.

frustrated, you separate yourself from her and motion for her to step aside, so you could jump of the counter. "i have a bed upstairs," you tell her. Sevika stands there confused, but god does she look hot. her lips are glazed from your spit and her hair looks slightly tousled from your hand that clung to it.

she doesn't let you move, though. instead, her hands are pressed firmly on your side as she still stand between your legs. "i thought that might be more comfortable..." you say, unsure of the current situation. she shifts in her stance to let you stand up.

"fuck, yes. i mean, yes, let's go upstairs," she chuckles after stumbling over her own words and her bionic arm moves to gesture you to lead the way. you laugh at her sudden awkwardness but go ahead to lock up your shop.

walking up the stairs, you fumble for your home's keys. Sevika followed you closely behind, touching your waist and kissing your neck as you try to unlock the door, a sigh escapes your lips as you try to unlock your door.

as the door closes behind you, she pins you against it. her hand holds your wrist against the door as she kisses you feverishly. her bionic arm slips beneath your ass to lift you up, so you could wrap your legs around her hips. you press your breasts against her, trying to seek for any further touches. "the bed, Sev," you say between kisses, too occupied to actually resist her touch.

she ignores your words and losses her grip on your wrists instead to wander to the buttons of your shirt, never breaking the kiss. "patience, beautiful," she whispers as her lips leave yours to press a kiss on your cheek. "we have all night, right?"

your arms find their way back around her neck, playing with her loose hair. "please," you respond, your eyes making contact with hers. you peck her lips before you say, "i want to touch you, too."

her head falls onto your shoulder as she groans, "you make me loose my composure so easily," before looking back into your eyes with need and desperation "do you realise that?"

you grin at her confession and kiss her hot and wet, moaning into the kiss as she continues to unbutton your shirt until your bra is exposed to her hand. she grazes the outlines with her fingertips, making a shudder run through your body as you gasp. you press your chest into her touch and she gladly responds with cupping your breast while biting your lower lip.

her index finger grazes your puffy nipple through your bra and you can't help the moan that escapes your lips.

she pecks you one last time with a smile, before looking around your small flat, seemingly inspecting your small setup where your bedroom and living room are combined to your cozy grove.

her hand moves to your back, stabilising you in her arms before she finally heads to your bed to lay you down on it, watching you as you lay there with your undone shirt and the few strands that escaped your hairstyle completely wordless.

similar to her, you exhale at the sight in front of you. Sevika is still fully clothed, so you pull her down by her collar to kiss her hard, wrapping your legs around her waist to pull her body on top of you. "take this off," she whispers against your lips, her bionic hand gripping your shirt as her hand sneaks behind your neck to tilt your head for her to suck.

she kisses and bites your sweet spot, disrupting your motion of pulling your shirt off and making your eyes roll back in pleasure. you moan her name in frustration before she finally let's go.

"this too," she tells you as she eyes every little detail on your torso. when you take your bra off, her bionic hand cups your breast. the sharp and cold details of her metallic hand exposed on one of your most sensitive parts of your body leave you breathing hard, moaning as her pointy fingers pinch and twist your nipple. "you have no idea how often i thought of touching them since that night," her eyes are not leaving your chest as she confesses.

"you could've touched them that night," you respond, your hand finding the back of her head as you play with her small ponytail. after hearing your words she looks at you, almost with a shocked expression on her face. "there's no way i would have touched you without your consent," she tells you. surprised by this sudden turn, you move up to rest your weight on your elbows, looking at her in disbelief. "but you payed for that night with me," you state, still confused by what she just said.

she's just as surprised as you, cupping your cheek softly as she spoke, "y/n, i would never do anything to you without your consent. do you know that?" she asks you, her eyes never leaving yours as she spoke. you've never experienced any sex partner expressing their respect to you verbally. and fuck, this is probably the moment you realise you have feelings for this woman in front of you. you nod in response, still overwhelmed from your thoughts and feelings. she smiles at you as she says, "good girl."

your soaking pussy almost purred at that nickname. kissing her quick but softly, you grind your clothed hips against hers as you kiss a trail down her neck to her exposed collarbone.

she exhales heavily at your motions before saying, "tell me what you want, beautiful."

"i want you to fuck me," you respond after hesitating, still nibbling at her collarbone as a soft moan escapes her.

"with this," you continue as you grind stronger onto her clothed cunt than before.

her bionic arm holds herself on the bed as her fingers trace your curves. "with my fingers?" she teases as she opens your trousers with her other hand slowly.

your lips move up to her ear, licking and biting her soft skin. "no," you whisper, "with this."

you press the seam of her jeans with your fingers against her clit, making her grip your hips hard from your sudden touch. "fuck," she mutters in response, clearly trying to compose herself before she continues to fully undress you.

"under one condition," she starts as she takes in your naked body with hungry eyes, "i'll have a taste before i fuck you," she unbuttons her shirt, revealing a dark bandeau bra beneath. she's in a hurry, so she won't bother to take off her unbuttoned shirt, but moves on by removing her jeans as well as underwear in one go.

you try to take a peek at her body, but she immediately kneels between your legs to kiss the soft skin of your thighs, dragging her motions slowly to your soaking pussy as her hands hold you firm beneath her touch. feeling her breath on your clit, you whine from sensitivity, gripping the sheets beneath you as she finally tastes you for the first time.

both of you moan from the touch, your hips stutter beneath her strong hands. she eats you out like a starving woman, humming at the sounds you're making. your clit is circled by her tongue as she softly bites and sucks before your legs start shaking from the pleasure that builds up in your lower belly.

she moves her arm from your thigh to press softly against it, realising how close you are. "come on my tongue," she tells you, intensifying her motions as you come hard. the way you moan her name sounds similar to a scream, your thighs pressing against her head as you throw your head back in pleasure.

she gently guides you through it by licking in decreasing motions, careful of your sensitivity. as your calming down, she kisses your clit one last time before she straightens herself to watch you after your first high.

her lips and chin are glistening from her pussy and strands that were originally framing her face now hang loosely. "you did so well, beautiful," she whispers, climbing on top of you to press kisses into your face. "fuck, you really sent me to another dimension," you confess, laughing a litte at the absurdity. she chuckles at your words, grinning as she examines your face.

"are you still down for another round?" she asks carefully, giving you the space you might need, but you nod as you smile at her. she kisses you before she straightens again to manhandle your legs, placing one on her shoulder as she moves her own over your other to align with your pussy, not starting just yet. she caresses the long on her shoulder as she presses kisses along with it.

she looks absolutely breathtaking while doing it. you feel her pussy kissing yours, and fuck, she's driving you crazy. the unbuttoned shirt exposes the abs you eyed earlier through the tightness of her shirt. her v-line is deeply defined, even more when she starts to slowly grind against you. her pointy bionic fingers suddenly press into your thigh as she gasps from the pleasure she suddenly receives. her grey eyes watch you heavily, making sure you're alright with her pace as she slowly picks it up.

"you feel so good," you whimper as you meet her motions by copying hers, crying from the sensitivity from your earlier orgasm. "fuck- i'm close again."

she grins at your confession, pushing herself harder on your clit as you cry out from the friction. she's mostly quiet, but a gasp escapes her lips anytime you improve your speed.

"come with me, y/n" she leans down, kissing you with so much passion as her eyebrows furrow in pleasure. you moan into the kiss, your breasts moving with each thrust as your nipples graze against the cotton of her bandeau. you felt your orgasm creeping, but you weren't ready for the intensity it comes with. you cry out against her lips, holding her against you as you feel her groaning from her own orgasm. both your hips stutter in your motions before you stop to look at her.

her head rests in the nape of your neck and the only thing you feel is her hot breath against your skin. as you untangle your legs, you kiss on the side of her head. "are you alright?" you ask after several seconds of silence.

she vaguely nods, still maintaining her breath before she answers "you have no idea what you're doing to me."

you smile as you caress her hair through your fingers. "i'd love to figure it out in the future," you continue, making space between your faces so you could look at her as you speak. "this idea you've just mentioned," you clarify as she looks at you speechless.

she kisses you passionately after a few seconds, smiling as she realises what you were suggesting.

"let me take you to dinner after your shift tomorrow?" she asks as her thumb trails your cheekbone. you nod, kissing her on the cheeks before you answer "gladly."

you both fall asleep, and sooner or later date nights with Sevika become your favourite traditions as you two engage in a passionate, but intimate relationship with each other.

Sweet!! I have a request..fanfic! I wasn’t sure which character you write for but I’m leaning towards redson from lmk ( love me a tsundere ) who has a fem partner who’s very shy yet cuddly and wants affection from him since he’s busy with his machines but of course this is making the fire prince flustered since he’s never seen her that way and it gets worse when she says with a cute sad doe eyes “ please kiss me ” and boom. The rest is up to you! Hopefully this was okay!

Alright!!

Redson x shy!reader

Weeeeeellll opposites do attract but oh boy.

To have fallen in love with you was not easy on the flaming prince. He was of royal status. He couldn't waste his time with peasants much less so when he has the duty to build and conquer to gain the favor of his own parents. But then he meets you, a shy little mortal peasant and he scowls. When he isn't able to hear you he is LOUD and curt.

"SPEAK UP PEASANT!"

Your hurt expression does give him pause and he readjusts his temper slightly. A veeeeery tiny fraction. At first.

He does begin to like your presence though. You actually listen to him to all his ramblings, you grow fascinated at his technology and even though you don't understand his more technical terms you edge him on. So he begins to search for you when he has brilliant ideas for new mech. If he has your phone number expect him to call you at odd hours and rant to you about his latest invention and plans all the while on his bed kicking his legs with a huge smile on his face. If you complain about the hour he will get a bit snappy after all why should he respect your weak sleeping schedule. He does take note of it and kiiiinda tries to respect it. When he remembers that is. This man/demon is full of work so he's going to forget what hour and what day it even is. But he does feel fortunate to have you. While his parents treated him as a disappointment you were there fascinated and loving his every invention.

As time passes he drops the "peasant" around you.

MK tired: Stop calling us peasants...

Redson with a greatly offended expression: Excuuuuuse you Noodle Boy! I called you all peasants! *points at you with his hand* They are superior to you. In fact! *he shoos away MK from around you with a disgusted look on his face while gently dusting you off the Noodle Boy's germs off you* Stay away from them, don't bother them, don't look at them, don't infect them with your very presence. Come along dear let's go enjoy civilised company together.

Yeah... He is trying... If you point out he was rude to MK be prepared to chase a flaming Redson after MK on accounts on trying to poison you against him.

You: Please stop trying to hurt MK.

Redson smiling after a while of this repeated topic of conversation: I wouldn't dream of it *secretly presses a button to deploy several robots and weapons to carry out the job*

Invitations to his home and workshop, feel pride my shy human mortal, for you get to see the genious at work! You even try to help out when he vehemently prohibits so. You are his guest and his workshop isn't exactly... Mortal friendly. He will treat you like royalty in return for you caring about him all the while denying it. Point out his blush and he will snap that it's just the heat from the lava. And speaking of this, he will sometimes work without a shirt on and then it's your turn to blame your rosy cheeks on the general heat.

Redson: Excuse me, they asked for no pickles *now threatening the clerk* IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOUR PUNY MORTAL PEASANT BRAIN TO COMPREHEND?!

Yeeeeah he has a temper and it causes problems in his everyday life including you. He will not apologise.... By words I mean. He will leave you trinkets and acts of service. Builds you a robot for protection or build you a super cool (and deadly) vehicle.

Now about trying to show this man physical affection... Will be hard. Redson's not a very touchy person as he is deeply indoctrinated into his noble ways. And nobles do not touch unless a specific protocol is followed. So it has to be introduced in small baby steps.... You know.... Gently.... Like trying to disable a bomb.

He won't hurt you but he will flinch away and give you a look of discomfort and suspicion. Insist and be prepared for a lecture on proper etiquette.

When he FINALLY gets that he loves you... Well his world shatters. He starts to overthink and have panic attacks. How would his parents react (they have known for the longest time)? How would he court you? Should he stick to ancient demon ways to court a human? By formal kidnapping? Should he learn the human peasant ways? Eugh! But should he? Etc, etc.

He begins to shower you in gifts made by him. Super cool armor to protect you that ends up with so many functions and customization that you can't move at how heavy it is. Like I mentioned before a robot buttler, a robot bodyguard, a robot cook.... You know what? Just move in the mansion and you get a robot army. You think he is kidding... He is definitely not. The mansion has room and protection and he will make sure to attend to your every need plus you will stay close to your one only genius. Deny him and he will do as he always does..... Makes even more effort that ends in new explosive failures. One time the Monkey Crew even asked him if he was trying to actively kill you.

When you two finally get together.... You're not able to touch him, even get near him thanks to his fire powers go out of control at how happy he is. Even his parents thought for a second that he had the Samadi fire back.

He is a demon while you're human so it is a relationship that has a learning curve on the both of you. Most intimacy happens behind closed doors. On one hand you have to initiate by verbal statements.... Which due to your shy nature it's hard. Plus he is more often working than not and so you don't want to bother him. But once you do say your piece he will finish his project fast to give you the cuddles you crave.... Well almost, as he is still stiff trying to engage in less formal ways. So be prepared for him to be like a stiff manequin as you're the one that have to whether tell him or put his arms around you to what you find acceptable. Say you want kisses and I hope you're wearing layers of non-inflamable cloth or you may get burned by his embarrassment or even eagerness. He controls it with time thanks to "training" (constant cuddles and kisses). Nonetheless you'll sometimes look like a freaking forge master as he tries to reign in his flames while you try anything new. Every Winter is a blessing, 10 out of 10 cuddles, while every Summer you'll need to crank up the AC or you will die (and yes you are forbidden to deny him affection. It is LAW).

Either way once he gets the hang of it..... Be prepared to have a very clingy boyfriend as he is extremely touch starved. He, formal and set in his ways as he is, WILL include in the daily schedule hours for cuddles and other forms of affection... If you get yourself a minute or micro second late you WILL be scolded. Initiate your best affection or you'll never hear the end of it.

Japanese website Forest Page is shutting down ~today, a tragic loss of "Heisei otaku memories", as so many are calling it. Launched in 2003, Forest Page was a "Geocities for mobile", a site that hosted user-created websites and gave them tools to allow non-coders to make them. In practice, it became one of the premiere places for fanfiction in Japan, with the stories hosted on author-created sites.

It wasn't quite the Fanfic.net of Japan, as for one the Japanese fandom just never centralized quite the way the 2000's western one did, instead being spread out over a half dozen or so sites. But additionally, it wasn't initially popular for fanfic so much as cell phone fanfiction, because in 2000's Japan the "cell phone novel" was a specific thing. These websites were being made for flip phones, not smartphones, and not only would people read them on those phones, they would often write them. None of that was very conducive to the creation and consumption of a "traditional" novel; so starting in the 2000's Japanese writers started making stories fit for the medium, namely:

Very short

A huge focus on dialogue and inner thoughts, with no/minimal description or scene detail

Using a limited POV of a specific character

Often employing the medium-as-message, like using emojis, structuring the story as IM's or emails, etc.

Also they all had huge gaps between lines, I'm not really sure what that is about:

Probably for readability on the phone given the small screen size? But it was absolutely part of the genre. A few of these novels actually made it big, got movie adaptations, people wrote articles about the "cultural phenomenon", it was the 2000's so Hiroki Azuma had a take on it of course, and so on. It slotted neatly into the vibe of the time of technology changing culture, paralleling discourse around otaku in the same era.

In fanfic those trends met up, and anyone familiar with fanfiction probably read that list of traits of the cellphone novel and thought "oh, this is perfect for fanfiction". Skipping out on description? I don't need it, I know what they look like already. Focus on conversation and POV? Perfect for shipping fics. Short lengths? Yeah, we are shortcutting to the good stuff, that is the point. Mirroring trends in the west, Forest Page's userbase was ~95% female, and the most common content on the site was romantic or edgy-dramatic stories in the franchises you'd expect. The closure page linked above actually summarizes the site's history by year, and lists the biggest fandoms:

Which is exactly what I would expect from a female otaku fanfiction website. Congrats to Pirates of the Caribbean for making it though, freeaboo's represent.

I do think the fact that the site was a website hoster as opposed to a fic hoster did align with the way the Japanese fandom was more "creator focused" and embraced the media mix more. There were "fic circles" a la doujin circles who made their own pages, people would make fanart, fan video games, and so own to host alongside it, and all of it was centralized to the creator; it made following them-as-a-person just a little bit easier. Most websites were simple text, but others did have the full Geocities experience:

Something that was somewhat common were basic visual novel concepts where the reader could make choices, or even insert their own name so they would be the "MC" of the story:

(Dream novels are in fact their own thing in Japan) My understanding is the site was quite popular through the 2000's and into the 2010's, though over time the "cellphone novel" as a concept fizzled out. People got smartphones, more people got PCs, and the constraints didn't make sense anymore - you can read ebooks and normal websites on your phone now after all. You can probably draw a line between these kind of stories and the webfiction/light novel boom of the late 2000's/2010's, something that was equally born on the internet, that streamlines the novel to "shortcut to the good stuff" but without the need to fit on a flip phone's screen. Though I will admit my own understanding of their histories shows them more as two sides of the same "youth demand for new literature" coin.

In 2017 Forest Page launched Forest Page Plus, a new service fully optimized for the smartphone era; but it did not transfer over all the old content, starting the clock ticking on the original Forest Page. My understanding is that in June they announced Forest Page was officially closing down; and from what I have gathered from reminiscing writers on twitter, they did not provide any easy, one-touch way to save any of the content, so people are archiving Wayback Machine links or sharing tips on how screenshot-save stories (I think the rub is they gave people a way to transfer content to FP+, but most don't want to do that, as places like Twitter & Pixiv are the content kings of this era).

As of tomorrow I would bet the large majority of the content will be gone; quite sad given both the quantity of stories there and how many got sometimes millions of readers. I am sure most of the biggest stories are archived at least, but particularly the early stuff was a very ephemeral genre, one that doesn't make sense to revisit once you aren't a 16 year old teen writing and reading fics on a flip phone in between classes. Which means another legion of the ghosts of the Wired is being born today. May we pour one out for a fellow online community that lived and died!

In commemoration of that time, recently, when I delivered a conference keynote in a ridiculous o'clock timezone, after having been up and neck deep in other energy draining university commitments for three days straight on four hours of sleep at best, here's a little thing. I couldn't remember what I was talking about the minute the presentation ended. Scott Tracy is a public speaker extraordinaire on bingo sleep and adrenaline overdose. His brothers are worried and have to think on their feet. Special thanks to @astranite for nudging my muse in this direction.

AUTOPILOT

The trick was to get him off the stage. Scott Tracy, the Tracy Industries CEO, giving an opening keynote at the New Frontiers Expo had been scheduled a year in advance (involving the program committee begging on hands and knees for a year prior, Scott's annual commitments shuffling, some major security concessions, up to and including Kayo's team practically taking over the venue security altogether, as well as meeting a hard line of excluding any tech associated with Langstrom Fischler from the exhibits or conference talks).

Nobody could predict a mine collapse and Scott Tracy, the Commander of IR and Thunderbird One, being involved on site for the past thirty six hours (a good portion of that time spent underground without sleep).

The family medics' quorum, in full agreement with the family extended quorum, voted for canceling his public appearance and putting him on mandated rest. For a week. But Scott Tracy gave his word. So Scott Tracy gave his talk.

As keynotes go it was a huge success. Scott was passionate, funny and inspired, engaging the audience with dimples, moving personal touches and heartfelt convictions. The listeners were just about ready to "boldly go" wherever Scott would lead the way to a better, technologically enhanced and kinder tomorrow.

They divided forces in case the predictable worse actually came to pass. Virgil was behind the podium with a med kit and med scanner at hand. Gordon unironically got a tranq gun, which earned him a side-eye, but knowing Scott it might as well come handy.

John was in the audience, vigilant and listening to the keynote (and rather enjoying biggest brother public speaking prowess - seriously, how did Scott do it, half-dead on his feet?), ready to step up and take over if need be. That wouldn't be what the hundreds of Expo attendees payed and donated to R&D funds for, but they'd be getting A Dr. Tracy, at least, if The Mr. Tracy collapsed mid-sentence.

That was just the problem at the moment. Scott didn't. He concluded the speech, got a standing ovation, and was now just sort of hanging out on stage, swaying slightly. It was obvious he was running on dregs of fumes of an adrenaline high, refusing to crash on sheer willpower. It was also obvious Scott was completely unfocused and unaware where he was and what he'd been doing the minutes prior. The brilliant blue eyes were getting telltale glassy.

John had a FRANTIC Virgil booming in his earpiece. The public spotlight made the logistics of what needed to happen next tricky: they couldn't just drag him off the podium in a firefighter hold or tranq him - and spoil the profound impression of the speech; they also couldn't wait much longer till Scott fainted in front of everyone (and possibly injured himself by the fall). John was half on his way up to try and steer Scott bodily off the stage. Gordon would have been a better man for the job - dressing the thing up with a quip and some theatrics, but the Fish was still in uniform. IR on site, crashing the keynote, might have set off unwelcome panic, dangerous in a crowded space.

In the end, it was still Gordon's out-of-the-box thinking that saved the situation. They could all hear a boy's voice through their earpieces - Alan went for the highest littlest-brother-in-distress pitch he could master:

"Scotty, could you come here? I'm right behind you! Scotty, please!"

Scott could hear it too. A less exhausted brain would have remembered Allie was on the island still. They agreed Scott would take him the next day on a tour around the Expo and to several talks the kid wanted to attend.

But Scott's bandwidth capacity at the moment was reduced to the most rudimentary parent-brain instincts. So he started slightly, turned on his heel and marched backstage. It took a bit of flailing to placate a wild-eyed Scott that a) Allie wasn't in danger; b) Allie wasn't there immediately available for inspection and protecting from danger.

It came as close as Gordon clicking the safety off the tranq gun. But finally, the blue eyes stopped searching the perimeter behind Virgil's shoulder and rolled back. Scott slumped as a ragdoll in Virgil's hold.

John rushed to join the brothers the moment he heard Alan on comms. In between the three of them they settled the Commander on a hoverstrecher. Virgil insisted on a quick scan on the spot. Nothing more serious beyond bruises, exhaustion, stress and dehydration. Small mercies. Every single one of them had a private itemized inventory of possible injuries Scott might have "forgotten" to mention in order to be cleared for the keynote commitment.

Kayo's security team were clearing the path for them, off the Expo busy routes, to leave for Thunderbird Two discretely.

John lingered to brush the fringe off Scott's now noticeably pale forehead. His original intent was to go straight back to orbit after the biggest brother was sorted out. But now, there was no way Grandma or Virgil would let Scott out of the infirmary for the next forty eight hours at least. Nor would Virgil let biggest brother out of his sight for at least twice as long after. So it would fall to John to take Alan to the Expo and show the boy around.

John didn't favor crowded bustling places on a good day, but it was crucial not to disappoint or worry the kid. Scotty unconscious, sedated and grounded would have him anxious enough. It was also a great bonding opportunity with the baby-brother and a way to lift a bit of weight off Scott's shoulders. John knew biggest brother enough to foresee he'd beat himself up for succumbing to weakness and letting Alan down. John couldn't have that. So he landed a hand for support on Gordon's shoulder and all together they started the way home.

Hi! First off, I just wanna say that I am a huge fan of your work! I absolutely love everything you write and I love hearing your general thoughts on Rise/TMNT!

Im super excited for your new work coming out, WWWW and I was just wondering if I could ask a quick question; will Donnie be good at magic?

One of my head-canon is that Donnie is actually a genius in magic, not Mikey-level genius in magic, but still a genius. I noticed that a lot of separation AUs with Donnie living in the hidden city have Donnie being horrible/disliking magic. This is a take I tend to see a lot, but in my opinion, I feel like if Donnie lived in the hidden city, magic would be his science. This is what I believe since in the show we see that Donnie Is able to fight at the same time as his brothers with equal effectiveness despite starting magic much later than the rest. It always made sense to me that Donnie would be a genius in magic, and that the only thing holding him back is his own insecurities with magic. Plus, I think it would be something really cute that Mikey and Donnie can bond over, being two different brands of geniuses. Like Mikey and Donnie would be like.

Mike: I just thought about it, and then it went bang boom, and then everything went SWISHHHH  

Don: First, my brain released adrenaline, and then a chemical reaction happened in my brain* Complex science that no one understands*, and that’s how I did it

wwww donnie does do mystics! he is not anti-mystic at all; he just doesn't do the kind of magic that leo does. its more similar to mystic aids in replacement of being able to hone weapons that require the same kind of focus and self-understanding-- partially because he's somewhat uncoordinated (and he doesn't train as much), and still because he doesn't just get it. leo himself had to work up to it-- and there's a reason he does full-on teleporting instead of mostly portaling people. it speaks to something else about him!! (mostly a better sense of self-assurance-- he's codependent, but also only truly confident in himself.)

he has a very scientific approach to mysticism. ironically, witch town may be the closest comparison, because he likes working with enchanted objects and alchemy and such. he has the same struggles that he would otherwise if he were to pick up a mystic weapon, so he works around it with more practical implementations. draxum's also a very heavy influence on him, although he does try not to teach donnie the more extreme, dangerous stuff out of fear of him-- but that doesn't stop donnie from doing it anyway! his interest in technology completely stumps draxum as well. leo's got one over on him in the mystic powers front and in combat, but donnie has strengths pretty much everywhere else.

How do politics affect fashion? Blog #1

HI! You can call me AverageOverlord! lol I'm deeply sorry. This is my first post! Each week I'm going to try to do one post about pop culture and one about my interest. And if you have ideas lmk (if anyone actually reads this XD)!

Lots of people are thinking about the election, so I started thinking how does politics impact fashion? After thinking for a while I started to notice a pattern. When the country (America) was more conservative, people dressed more modestly and used trends from other conservative decades. When we were more democratic, our fashion would be looser, shorter and more freeing. For example during the 1920s, woman's clothing took a drastic turn compared to the previous decades. The 1910s had a more natural silhouette, woman had long sleeves and the dresses were below the ankles. The 1920s were dresses were shorter and boxier. Woman even started to cut their hair into bob which was extremely rare. It was a time were the woman's suffrage movement flourished and a good number of woman started to not dress according to men's standards. Credit had become immensely popular during the 20's. This was heavily directed in the fashion. Flappers were covered head to toe with glitz and glam. I've also noticed that when consumerism is bigger the fashion is more bold and extravagant. In the 20s, people had more free time so they started to buy more things. In the 1950s, after the war American's turned to a more conservative lifestyle. The Nuclear family was heavily marketed and the suburbs grew. The 50s fashion was heavily inspired by the late 1940s. Which was a was a very patriotic decade because of WW2. The fashion was modest and extremely feminine. It was a comfort for people who just wanted the normal life before the war back. The president for most of the 50s, Dwight D. Eisenhower, was a Republican. All these things influenced the reclamation of conservative fashion and values. 1960s and 70s fashion was very free and bold. Big hair, bright makeup and bold clothing. Disco-esque and Hippy/Bohemian clothing were extremely popular. Hippy and bohemian clothing were made up of elements taken from other cultures (that were often viewed as inferior). The Romani people is where this 'trend' originally started from. (so please if you want to dress Bohemian and you can afford it, don't buy from fast fashion brands, buy from local and small businesses, that are run by and supported by Romani people. They deserve the credit for THEIR clothing. THAT is cultural appreciation vs appropriation.) Also the civil rights movement was growing during this time. So people of color started to straighten and perm their natural hair less, It was a protest and a statement. This was called the Afro Hair Movement, It challenged Eurocentric beauty standards and celebrated Black people's natural hair and ethnicity. So as we can see the 60s and 70s were leaning towards liberalism. The 1980s was HEAVILY inspired by the 50s. It was after the Vietnam war and consumerism was booming. During the 70s bold colors were popular, But in the 80s that only increased! Neons, loud makeup, hair and bold layered fashion. Ronald Regan was the president for a majority of the 80s and he was VERY republican. Poodles skirts from the 50s came back and Polka dots were popular in both decades. They also had bright colors and cinched waists in common. I also noticed how in the 60s and 70s wedding dresses were getting shorter and less traditional. But in the 50s and 80s, the wedding dresses were huge ball gowns with long sleeves, The 80s was definitely a consumerist decade, it was full of game consoles, new technology, shopping malls and movies. I would say the 80s was one of if not the most consumerist decade in the 20th century. The 2000s was full of metallics and iridescence makeup and fashion. We had LOW cut jeans (yes lower than your mid rise lol). And red carpet fashion that was mostly street wear. (lol idk if you can feel by tone but I'm very salty about that XD). The 2000s were inspired by a revival of the 70s and 80s. The late 2000s had to stock market crash of 2008. After this fashion was never the same. We started to lean heavily on fast fashion because people couldn't afford anything else. I hope you liked this! ;)

The Stablecoin Funding Boom: A New Blue Ocean for Crypto Entrepreneurs Is Opening

#Stablecoin #Crypto #USDT

Introduction

Lately, stablecoins have truly broken out of their niche.

Perhaps it was Circle’s successful IPO, or the accelerating clarity of regulations across multiple jurisdictions. But suddenly, the wishlist of crypto entrepreneurs has shifted — from NFT, DeFi, and Web3 social — to stablecoins.Several data points show that the wave of venture funding for stablecoin startups has surpassed the 2021 peak and set new records.

Market data indicates that in Q3 and Q4 of 2024, the stablecoin and payments sector recorded 43 and 42 venture deals, respectively, marking the highest quarterly totals ever. For the full year, the number of transactions surpassed the 2021 high for the first time. In Q1 2025, the sector accounted for 7.5% of all venture deals.

What does this mean? Not only has capital returned — it’s coming back even stronger than in the last bull cycle. And it’s not just about volume: the quality of participants is rising, too.

In the past, stablecoin investments were primarily backed by crypto VCs and specialized funds. Now, we are seeing an influx of traditional financial institutions, payments giants, and cross-border banks — even investors who previously focused on AI or renewable energy are showing interest in this hybrid of fintech and crypto.

This surge is no longer just speculative hype. It is the result of a clear business logic plus regulatory tailwinds, driving a rational wave of institutional participation.In short: stablecoins have become the favorite target of venture investors and the new hotspot for institutional capital. From funding data to policy support to project deployment, the stablecoin sector’s upward trajectory keeps being validated.

Today, this article will explore why stablecoins have suddenly become the “sweet spot” for entrepreneurs, what their core appeal is, and who should be paying close attention.

Why Are Investors Scrambling to Fund Stablecoin Projects?

Many still think of stablecoins as simply “crypto’s version of the dollar,” or just a “remittance tool” like Tether and USDC.But today’s stablecoins are no longer just for payments. They have evolved from tool-based currencies into infrastructure-level money. That’s the critical shift.

1. The Revenue Model Is Now Working

The most direct logic: issuers of stablecoins earn yield on the float.

Take USDC or USDT as examples. When users exchange dollars for stablecoins, the actual fiat is deposited into bank accounts. These funds are used to buy Treasuries or other low-risk yield assets, earning 3–5% annualized returns, or more.You may not pay a fee, but the platform is making steady revenue simply by holding your money.

This is why stablecoin business models are inherently cash-flow-positive. Compared to DeFi projects that require high-frequency trading or huge user bases, stablecoins are more resilient and sustainable.

2. Explosive Demand for Payments and Cross-border Settlement

Stablecoins are becoming the intermediary currency for cross-border trade.Especially in countries and regions facing USD tightening and sensitive FX policies, corporate settlements in USDC/USDT have become real demand.Companies like Circle, Stably, and First Digital are all building solutions here.

Stablecoins bridge crypto technology and traditional finance. They don’t need a bank account, don’t rely on SWIFT, and offer superior efficiency, lower costs, and near-instant settlement.Many SMEs, exporters, and supply chain finance firms are organically adopting stablecoins for cross-border transactions.

3. Regulatory Certainty Is Converting “Grey Tokens” into “White Tokens”

Since 2024, the regulatory landscape has shifted dramatically:

The GENIUS Act in the U.S.

Singapore’s DTSP regulations

Hong Kong’s licensing framework with a clear launch timeline

Regulators have moved from hesitant suppression to encouraging compliant development — a critical inflection point for any financial-grade application to go mainstream.Especially after the GENIUS Act was enacted and Circle’s IPO accelerated, the entire sector received a confidence boost.

When sovereign governments say, “You are legally allowed to issue stablecoins,” capital gets the conviction to jump in.

What Types of Stablecoin Startups Are Booming?

If you are an entrepreneur considering stablecoins, it helps to understand which categories of projects are getting the most traction and funding.

1. Compliant Stablecoin Issuers

These startups focus on securing licenses from local regulators.For example, in Hong Kong, the licensing regime will officially begin in August 2025.Applicants already include Ant Digital Tech, Lianlian Pay, Xiaomi’s Tianxing Bank, among others. First Digital has launched FDUSD, which has gained listings on major exchanges and become the flagship Hong Kong-born stablecoin.

2. Vertical Scenario-focused Stablecoins

These projects target specific use cases, such as:

Cross-border e-commerce payments

AI compute procurement

In-game payments

RWA yield settlements

For instance, Stably partnered with Southeast Asian platforms to integrate stablecoins into local e-commerce payment rails.

3. Settlement and Clearing Infrastructure

Building “stablecoin banks” or “clearing networks” is also heating up.Projects like Connext, Noble, and LayerZero are building on-chain settlement hubs.

Why Are Stablecoins the Foundation of “Asset-Backed Web3”?

From a macro perspective, the importance of stablecoins isn’t just about payments. They are the starting point of the RWA (Real World Asset) era.

This part of the stablecoin thesis is often underestimated but holds the most long-term potential.As Circle noted in its prospectus:Stablecoins are the “programmable dollars” of the digital economy — like electricity or water, the base infrastructure of digital finance.

RWA bonds, gold, green energy revenues — all need stablecoins for settlement.

Corporate payroll, invoice management, and global clearing need stablecoins.

DePIN, AI chains, Web3 gaming economies all need a stable, transparent unit of account.

At this point, USDC and FDUSD are no longer just “one dollar.”

We are moving from multi-chain experimentation toward mainchain dominance + asset tokenization, with stablecoins as the core value layer.

Conclusion: Stablecoins Are No Longer Just Tokens — They Are the Gateway to Compliance and Scale

In short, stablecoins have evolved from a crypto “utility token” into regulated money and foundational infrastructure.They are no longer just products for traders — they are the key to connecting on-chain and off-chain economies.From an entrepreneurial perspective, stablecoins are among the few crypto sectors that combine:

Cash-flow business models

Regulatory endorsement

Diverse application scenarios

That’s precisely why we’re seeing record funding rounds, a flood of institutional capital, and even traditional tech companies eager to participate.

If you’re thinking about what to build in the next cycle, stablecoins might be that rare opportunity — conservative and steady, but with enormous future potential.

Top IT Education Franchise Opportunities in India for 2025

India's rapid digital transformation has created a massive demand for tech education — not just among college students, but also working professionals and even school children. As the need for skilled IT professionals continues to grow, IT education franchise opportunities in India are gaining traction like never before.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, educator, or investor looking to tap into the booming education industry, franchising offers a low-risk, high-reward pathway — especially in the IT domain. In this blog, we’ll explore why 2025 is the perfect time to invest in an IT education franchise, the key benefits, and what to look for when choosing the right opportunity.

1. Why IT Education Franchises Are Booming in India

India is home to one of the largest youth populations in the world. With the country’s strong push for Digital India, Skill India, and AI-enabled workforce, IT education is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. Here's why IT education franchises are witnessing massive growth:

a. National Demand for Digital Skills

From AI and Data Science to Full Stack Development and Cybersecurity, companies are hiring professionals who are trained in real-world IT applications — creating a huge opportunity for skill-based training providers.

b. Rise of Online & Hybrid Learning

The pandemic permanently shifted the mindset of learners toward remote and flexible learning. Franchises that combine quality content with online delivery are dominating in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

c. Government Support & Policy Push

Government-backed programs such as PMKVY (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana) and NEP 2020 support the development of vocational and IT-based training centers — giving a boost to franchise operators.

d. Edtech Infrastructure Readiness

With high internet penetration and smartphone usage across India, it’s now easier than ever to reach learners digitally — with lower operational costs.

2. What Is an IT Education Franchise?

An IT education franchise is a business partnership where a franchisee (you) delivers technology-focused training courses under the brand, curriculum, and systems of an established institution. The franchisor offers:

Readymade course content and certifications

Digital platforms (LMS, virtual labs, dashboards)

Marketing support and lead generation

Operational guidance and training

Ongoing curriculum updates aligned with industry needs

The franchisee runs the business locally or virtually, charging students for the programs and sharing revenue as per agreed terms.

This business opportunity is ideal for:

Aspiring entrepreneurs with interest in the tech-education sector

Existing coaching center owners wanting to diversify

No prior teaching experience is necessary, as most franchisors offer full academic and operational training.

Physical classrooms, computer labs, and onsite faculty

Ideal for cities with demand for classroom learning

Requires higher investment (₹8–20 lakhs)

b. Online Franchise Model

100% remote delivery through virtual platforms

No infrastructure or staff costs

Low investment (₹2–5 lakhs)

c. Hybrid Franchise

Combines online lectures with physical workshops or labs

Highly flexible and scalable

Moderate investment (₹5–10 lakhs)

5. Benefits of Investing in an IT Education Franchise

✅ Proven Business Model

Franchising provides a ready-to-run model with established courseware, digital tools, and operational processes — reducing risk for first-time business owners.

✅ Low Setup Costs

Unlike traditional businesses, IT franchises often don’t require expensive infrastructure, especially for online or hybrid formats.

✅ High Demand, High ROI

Courses in AI, Data Science, Python, Digital Marketing, Cloud Computing, and Cybersecurity are in constant demand. This leads to quick breakeven and healthy profit margins.

✅ Brand Recognition

You operate under the credibility and reputation of an established education provider — enabling faster student trust and conversion.

✅ Placement & Certification Support

Many franchisors offer certification from reputed bodies and placement assistance — key selling points for students.

6. What to Look for in an IT Education Franchise in 2025

Before you finalize your franchise partnership, ensure the brand offers:

a. Future-Ready Curriculum

Make sure the course catalog includes trending and in-demand technologies such as:

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Machine Learning (ML)

Full Stack Development

Data Science

Cloud & DevOps

Cybersecurity

UI/UX Design

Internet of Things (IoT)

b. Strong Digital Infrastructure

A robust Learning Management System (LMS), real-time dashboards, assignment modules, and tech support are essential for delivering seamless education.

c. Placement-Oriented Programs

Choose a brand that offers career support, certifications, and industry exposure to learners.

d. Affordable Franchise Investment Plans

Look for flexible investment options, EMI-based plans, and region-specific fee structures to match your business goals.

7. Why Boston Institute of Analytics Is a Preferred Choice

One of the most trusted names in IT and business analytics education, Boston Institute of Analytics (BIA) offers a high-quality, future-focused IT education franchise opportunity tailored for Indian markets.

8. Locations with High Franchise Potential in 2025

Based on digital adoption and rising student interest in IT careers, the following regions present high growth potential:

Tier-1 Cities: Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai

Tier-2 Cities: Indore, Jaipur, Kochi, Nagpur, Lucknow, Surat, Bhubaneswar

Tier-3/Rural Markets: Where access to tech training is still limited

The right franchise model can thrive in all three segments, provided it meets affordability, accessibility, and career outcome expectations.

Final Thoughts

The future of education in India is digital, specialized, and career-driven — and IT education franchise opportunities are at the heart of this transformation. With low capital, high flexibility, and growing market demand, this business model is ideal for those looking to make a difference while building a profitable venture.

In 2025 and beyond, whether you're in a metro city or a small town, investing in a franchise that equips the next generation with cutting-edge IT skills is both a wise business move and a powerful social contribution.

Winning Tips: How to Grab Startup Awards and Steal the Spotlight

Introduction: Why Startup Awards Are Your Golden Ticket

Imagine you’re knee-deep in the startup grind, fueled by coffee and big dreams, when suddenly you win something like the Global Impact Award (GIA). Boom! The world’s looking at you, and it feels like you’ve just hit the jackpot. Startup awards aren’t just pretty trophies or logos to sprinkle on your website, they’re like a giant high-five that says, “You’re killing it!” They make people trust you, get investors excited, and open doors you didn’t even know were out there.

Why’s this such a big deal? In the wild, whirlwind world of startups, a business award, tech award, or entrepreneur award can make you the one everyone’s talking about. Think about Dropbox, their 2008 TechCrunch Disrupt win was like a rocket booster, launching them to a $10 billion valuation. Awards fire up your team, snag media attention, and make your pitch deck totally irresistible. This article’s your pal, here to walk you through the awards game with real, no-nonsense tips to nail applications and turn recognition into your startup’s secret sauce.

Understanding the Awards Party

The startup awards scene is like a huge, colorful festival, buzzing with everything from industry-specific awards to global gems like the Global Impact Award. You’ve got awards for cool new ideas (like MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35), ones for making the world better (like the World Food Forum Startup Innovation Awards), and super-specific ones for stuff like AI, fintech, or sustainability. Big shots like Forbes 30 Under 30 or the Stevie Awards bring major attention, while smaller ones like the Red Herring 100 are awesome for startups just finding their vibe.

Each award’s got its own personality. The Global Impact Award, for example, is all about startups doing good with big, heartfelt ideas. Others, like the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, care more about leadership and making money. Timing’s huge, most awards come around once a year with deadlines that creep up fast, so you’ve gotta stay on top of it. Peek at the categories to find your sweet spot, whether it’s a tech award for your AI wizardry or a best business award for keeping things smooth.

Real Story: Eratani, an agritech startup, grabbed Startup of the Year at the 2024 Global Startup Awards. That win got them chatting with global investors, helping them grow way past Indonesia. It’s proof awards can turn you from a hometown hero into a worldwide star.

Getting Your Startup Ready to Rock

Before you send in that application, your startup’s gotta shine like a diamond. Judges want a story that pulls them in, one that shows you’re making moves, changing lives, and standing out from the crowd. Start by figuring out what makes you awesome: What problem are you tackling, and why’s your solution so dang cool? For the Global Impact Award, talk up how you’re making the world better, like how many folks you’ve helped or how much pollution you’ve cut, and throw in some real numbers to prove it.

Your branding’s gotta be on point. A fresh website, a lively LinkedIn page, and a pitch deck that pops are absolute musts. Judges will snoop around your online world, so make sure your founder profile screams passion and big dreams. Grab some proof points, like media love, happy client reviews, or stats like “we boosted revenue 50% in six months.” These are your magic ingredients to make your application unforgettable.

Expert Tip: Jethro Sparks, CEO of Global Recognition Awards, says, “Judges want stories that feel real. Show how your startup’s heart beats with the award’s mission, whether it’s innovation or global change, and back it up with solid proof.”

Writing an Application That Blows Minds

A killer application feels like a chat with a friend, full of facts and a story that sticks. First, get cozy with what the award’s all about. If it’s the Global Impact Award, show how your startup’s making the world a better place with honest, world-changing impact. Answer questions with heart, tying your story to what the award loves. Ditch boring, cookie-cutter answers, saying “we’re innovative” is a total yawn. Instead, share how your AI tool slashed hospital wait times by 30% for 10,000 patients.

Don’t mess up with silly mistakes like missing papers or a flat story. Double-check what they need, financials, case studies, you name it. Ask a buddy to read your application for clarity and that extra spark. Numbers make your story pop, “We onboarded 5,000 users in six months” is way cooler than “we’re growing.”

Example: Freeziana, a 2024 Global Impact Award nominee, knocked judges’ socks off by showing their sustainable packaging cut plastic waste by 20% for clients. That kind of detail got them headlines all over the globe.

Rallying Your Crew for Nominations and Cheers

Your network’s like your startup’s biggest fan club for nominations and endorsements. Hit up advisors, clients, or mentors from incubators for recommendations. For the Global Impact Award, a thumbs-up from an industry pro or past winner can make you shine. On LinkedIn, share your startup’s wins and tag award organizers to get noticed.

Pro Tip: Ask a mentor to nominate you for something like the entrepreneur award at the Stevie Awards. Their support’s like a golden stamp of approval. Swing by industry events or webinars hosted by award folks to make friends who can boost your application.

Picking Awards That Match Your Vibe

Your startup’s stage tells you which awards to go for. If you’re pre-seed, try emerging business awards like the BASA Awards’ Best Startup Track, they’re chill and build local love. Series A? Go big with awards like the Global Impact Award, perfect for startups ready to take on the world. Niche awards, like the Best Healthtech Startup at Entrepreneur India, are awesome for folks in AI, fintech, or cleantech.

Quick Compare: Smaller awards (like BASA) are easier to snag but stay local, while global ones like the GIA put you on a huge stage but need big proof of impact. Start small, then use those wins to aim for the moon.

What to Do After You Win (or Don’t)

Winning a best business award is just the warm-up. Shout it loud with press releases, LinkedIn posts, and media pitches. Add award badges to your website and spruce up your pitch deck to show off. Credo Ventures, a 2016 Global Startup Awards winner, used their win to score U.S. investor meetings, eventually setting up shop in Silicon Valley.

Didn’t win? No worries. Ask for feedback, programs like the Stevie Awards often share judge notes to help you step up. Tweak your game and try again, losing’s just a chance to grow.

Spotlight: Why the Global Impact Award Is Awesome

The Global Impact Award is something special, cheering on startups that make a real difference with honest, game-changing ideas. It’s a megaphone for startups from places that don’t always get the spotlight, connecting nominees to ambassadors who hype up winners through partnerships and media. Sponsors get a glow-up too, linking their name to brands that care.

Real Impact: A 2024 GIA winner in sustainable agriculture landed investor deals after their win went viral, showing how these awards lift up world-changers from every corner.

Voice Search Optimization: The Next Frontier in Digital Marketing Strategy

The way users search for information online is evolving fast—and one of the most game-changing trends is the rise of voice search. With the growing use of voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, digital marketers must rethink their SEO strategies to keep up.

As the world leans into more intuitive and conversational technology, voice search is no longer just a futuristic concept—it’s here, now, and it's transforming how businesses get found online.

For learners pursuing Certification Courses for Digital Marketing in Hyderabad, understanding and leveraging voice search optimization is critical to staying competitive in this fast-paced digital environment.

Why Voice Search Is Changing the Game

Typing is out, talking is in.

According to recent studies, over 50% of all searches are now voice-based, especially on mobile devices and smart speakers. Whether it’s “Best cafes near me” or “How do I fix a leaky tap?”, users expect instant, accurate, and spoken answers.

This means the traditional approach to keywords, SEO, and content creation is being upended.

What’s driving the shift?

Smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Nest are in millions of homes.

Mobile usage is higher than ever, and voice search is convenient on the go.

Conversational AI is getting better at understanding natural language.

Local searches through voice are booming—think “dentist near me open now.”

How Is Voice Search Different from Traditional Search?

Voice searches are typically more conversational, longer, and question-based compared to text searches.

For example:

Typed: “best smartphones 2025”

Spoken: “What are the best smartphones to buy in 2025?”

This changes how marketers approach:

Keyword research (long-tail and natural phrases)

Content structure (answering questions quickly)

Local SEO (because voice users often seek nearby solutions)

How to Optimize for Voice Search in 2025

Here’s how marketers and businesses can get ahead in the voice-first world:

1. Focus on Conversational Keywords

Voice queries are more natural and full-sentence based. Use tools like AnswerThePublic or Google’s “People Also Ask” to uncover real spoken phrases.

Example: Instead of “digital marketing course,” think “What is the best digital marketing course near me?”

2. Create FAQ-Based Content

A great way to match voice search is to create FAQ pages that directly answer common user questions.

Pro tip: Include a question in an H2 and answer it concisely in the following paragraph. This increases your chances of being featured in Google’s answer box—a goldmine for voice results.

3. Use Schema Markup

Structured data helps search engines better understand your content. Use schema.org markup for:

FAQs

Local business info

Events

Product details

This boosts your visibility in voice-enabled results.

4. Improve Website Speed & Mobile Friendliness

Most voice searches happen on mobile. A slow or clunky site won’t cut it. Use Google PageSpeed Insights and ensure your site is mobile-optimized.

5. Double Down on Local SEO

Voice search is hugely local. Make sure your Google Business Profile is complete, accurate, and optimized with relevant keywords and business hours.

Voice queries like “best pizza place near me” rely on local signals, reviews, and proximity.

Who’s Winning at Voice Search?

Brands across industries are jumping into voice optimization:

Domino’s Pizza: Lets customers order via voice on Google Assistant.

Sephora: Offers voice-enabled beauty tips and product searches.

Nike: Uses voice search integration to guide users through its app and shopping experience.

These companies understand that voice search is about convenience, speed, and trust—and they’re tailoring their digital strategies accordingly.
