Escaping Gravity AU + Hivemind AU: After the initial connection and realization, the entire class and All Might go deathly still for five minutes while they're all internally screaming.

After that, it's probably a lot easier to get everyone on the same page though.

Uraraka: "What do you mean I have One For All now." Midoriya: "How do you know--" *Mindshare* Class 1-A: All Might: Uraraka: *covers her face in her hands*

I feel so hard on needing aus to keep the characters as close to canon as possible(which can be a big part of the fun tbh, finding ways to translate their backstory to fit both the character And the au), cus if u remove 2 much without replacing it appropriately,,,,, it's just,,,, what's the point? That's not the same character anymore,,,

Anyway have u done one of those co piloting mech type aus?(lot of stuff translates well from canon with it already being set in space n 2 ppl one body type stuff)

yeah!! when i do pretty departed settings i at least try to bring in some parallels to canon (like for example, in modern aus harrows still from a cult, or in a pirate au shes still dedicated to finding and saving the drowned blondie in an old legend) that way they can undergo similar developments in their characters

i do love the mech concepts in pacific rim but i honestly have trouble taking it further than that. i like the idea that gideon and harrow are very much newbies in the game of mindsharing and that copiloting makes them worse in a codependent and "noone else knows me like you, therefore i have to keep you under lock" way - but then i think about the plot and i dont get much further than "gideon dies at the end for Sure and harrow gets possessive over what intelligence she can extract from roboscraps"

[desultory-novice]

Not gonna lie, something about the idea of Fecto Elfilis being really, really angry about Elfilin losing and taking things into his own hands amuses me. Like, he's such a spiteful shit that even something as simple and petty as his inferior self getting whipped at a poker game gets him fired up.

X amount of time later, when Elfilin finds out what's been going on, he is both horrified and really apologetic about the whole thing.

-

Embarrassing as it can sometimes be, I just have certain HC for the cast that I love dearly and will cling to even in non-AU gen-related asks and among them is the fact that Elfilis is Elfilin's completely wretched, completely un-reformed mindshare-roommate.

Mindshare AU

Zim’s Pak gets thrown away moments after he gets plugged in, being a defective right out the gate for not activating the body right away. The tiny smeet body is burned and the Pak thrown out into space, labeling it an empty shell and scheduled to self destruct, not realizing the self destruct would not activate with a mind operational inside it. After being tossed out like garbage it actually ends up on earth and gets picked up by Professor Membrane, who happens to be in the process of trying to keep his recent cloning experiment alive. It had lived to two years old before starting to show signs of cellular decay that all clones went through. He decided he was going to pull the plug on the Dib program and start over to spare his son a painful death, but miraculously the machine violently buried itself into the clones back. Cells repaired themselves and the child got healthier. The professor decided to leave the device on his back alone in case it murders him along with the other scientists that tried to analyze it.

So Dib grows up and the professor uses the improved cell blueprint to also create Gaz, but there are complicated situations that arise. His son seems of have gone insane, constantly yelling and arguing with himself. He seemed to have reading and writing problems on certain days, instead drawing gibberish and alternating between strange hisses and clicks. One time he caught his son in the lab trying to create some massive weapon of destruction only to start rolling around on the floor clutching his head before locking himself in a closet. The professor is sure he’ll grow out of it.

Dib hates his life. Ever since he could remember he’s had a voice in his head. Along with having to be hooked up with some strange life support his father invented (that couldn’t come off or else his cellular decay would start up again and kill him) he also had to deal with a screeching maniac in his brain who was dead set on conquering Earth for the “Empire”. The counselors and therapists told Dib it was just a chemical imbalance while he thought the voice came from his desire to rid the earth of all the stupid people in his life that bullied him. Despite having to deal with a destructive personality he also wants to study the paranormal world instead of working on standard science. Thankfully as the years dragged on the voice mellowed out. They came to some agreement that ended up working out in both their favor. Not only did they create a robot together from some of his dad’s old junk, they also made a few deals to keep the peace (a week of the Voice’s favorite snacks in exchange of teaching Dib to read and write a made-up language it knew) Funny enough, sometimes Dib feels like the voice was really not his own. In that fantasy, he even imagines giving the voice a hug because of the sadness he can sometimes hear. Their friendship is minimal, and their rivalry is big, but they somehow work.

Zim knows his name, he knows his objective. He knows he’s an irken who somehow is attached to a host that someknow kept it’s own mind. The body he’s latched onto is primitive, insignificant, and weak. The only thing that fights Zim is the mind. It’s somehow fun to banter with the other creature despite his captivity. Zim won’t admit it out loud, but he doesn’t mind the time he spends with the Dib human.

Food is revolting (but it’s not all bad, especially the sweet sugary kind). The atmosphere is filled with pollution to the point it would of made him and the host sick ages ago (but the trips they take to hunt in the woods for the fake creature Bigfoot [hey! Bigfoot is real and I’ll show everyone! Especially you, strange voice in my head!] and stay up at night to watch the stars). His superior and advanced mind is being wasted in this learning establishment for Smeets called Skool (but collaborating with the Dib human to take down their opponents feels just as fun as conquering planets). He can manipulate the human like a puppet if he wishes to do unspeakable acts of evil (over the years he decided fighting the human and hurting him wasn’t worth it. The only time he really can have full control is at night, and he mostly cleans the room and makes sure the homework is finished when Dib gets too tired).

With this time and freedom away from his species, Zim wonders if the seventeen years in a human mind has affected him in any terrible ways. He wonders if one day he would be able to finally see Dib through his own eyes. If the human would still want to be with him if he got an irken body. What would he do if he found out the enemy and friend he’s been with ever since his activation would turn on him for being an alien? He shouldn’t care, he was born to be an irken invader after all. Maybe the human would join him and be his slave (partner) when they can see eachother face to face. In order to figure that out Zim devised a plan. On the human’s eighteenth birthday he planned a celebration the human would never forget, as well as a gift that was long overdue.

Zim was going to tell Dib everything he knew. Nothing would go wrong at all with his ingenious plan!

okay, OKAY BUT, tell me nemesis!chase at the end of the opening doesn’t give you android vibes, especially with the red eyes. I REALLY HOPE THEY SOMEHOW GIVE HIM AN ANDROID BODY??? 

[delimeful]

In your WIBAR AU, is a Vidi called that as in veni, vidi, vici? If so, I think that's really cool! Although, a better name might be Videre (to see) or Videmus (we see) or Vides (you see). Obviously you aren't going to change the name, I just wanted to tell you.

this is funny because i actually came up with ‘vidi’ as the name for ulgorii mindsharing completely off the cuff! i was not familiar enough with the phrase “veni, vidi, vici” or the word for “to see” in esperanto to base it off of either of these, but i will say im pleased as punch that it turned out that way! really a “my single brain cell bouncing around like a screensaver icon finally hit the corner perfectly” sort of moment :P

[rollerskatinglizard]

time travel fix it, bodyswap, and/or mindmeld sense8 au? for the fanfic trope rating

Oooh, good choices, Nonny!

Time travel fix-it is definitely B: Like it, when done well. It's unfortunately one of those popular tropes that's done often enough that there's A Lot of bad fic out there, so I tend to be hesitant to click unless I already know the author is skilled. (Not a trope I'm likely to write on its own.)

Bodyswap: Oh HELL yes, A, love it! I just love the many angles of finding out what it's like to be someone else, to be bigger/smaller/a different sex/gender than you're used to, not to mention the potential shades of "Wow I had no idea you had these health issues/get harassed by your jackass coworker/are hungry all the time." (Have written, tho not posted, and will no doubt write again!)

Mindmeld sense8 AU: Probably A, love it, but I can't be sure, because I've never actually read a finished fic of this trope, only some scattered snippets! but mindsharing and that sort of thing is another thing I adore, so if I find some good authors who write it I will Consume All. (If I get more familiar with the premise I might well write it, too, bc mmmm, mindsharing shenanigans.)

[ausp-ice]

Raffle prize for @jadedragon1903 ! They requested Reed1700 Star Trek AU, which. Is really cool but also I only vaguely remember things from the reboot and fanfic. I'm no expert on the series. Still, I am WEAK™ for mind melding / mindsharing in general and that's what they're up to here :>

I suppose Connor and Nines might be half-vulcan twins or something? Everything else I'm just *shrug* make of it what you will

[blackfridayfrancze]

Détails essentiels sur le vendredi noir

Susciter ce type de découverte a toujours été un défi pour les détaillants en ligne, car les pages Web et les interfaces d'applications sont par nature des environnements multisensoriels moins immersifs. De plus, comme nous l'avons expliqué ailleurs, les algorithmes de recommandation de produits qui semblent puissants et évidents peuvent sembler coercitifs pour le consommateur, entravant ce sentiment critique d'autonomie et de libre découverte.

Au lieu de cela, les e-commerçants peuvent inviter les consommateurs dans des espaces virtuels multidimensionnels - ou métaverses - pour le Black Friday et d'autres événements de vente. Dans un premier temps, certains détaillants construisent déjà des salles d'exposition virtuelles. Par exemple, Ordinateur Portable Black Friday 2022 IKEA a créé une réplique numérique interactive en 3D de ses salles d'exposition physiques sur plusieurs marchés. En Russie, cela aurait été à l'origine d'une augmentation de 17 % des ventes. Marks & Spencer a également (en collaboration avec Mindshare) introduit une salle d'exposition VR pour son département d'articles ménagers où les clients pouvaient assembler leur propre espace de vie idéal et partager leurs créations sur les réseaux sociaux.

Lors d'un événement virtuel du Black Friday, les clients pouvaient parcourir ces environnements numériques. Le détaillant pourrait cacher des remises spéciales dans chaque chambre, les encourageant à explorer et ainsi découvrir de nouveaux produits. Le même principe de base sous-tend la fonctionnalité de "dédouanement caché" de Walmart dans son application mobile, qui révèle des prix incroyablement bas (comme trois cents pour un jeu vidéo) lorsque le client scanne certains produits dans le magasin physique.

À l'avenir, les détaillants pourraient également utiliser la réalité augmentée pour transformer les communautés en environnements d'achat ludiques du Black Friday. Pensez à Pokemon Go, uniquement avec des bonnes affaires hyper-locales au lieu de créatures fantastiques insaisissables. En poursuivant les plus grosses affaires de rue en rue dans leur ville ou leur village, les clients en rencontreraient des attrayantes qui ressembleraient à des découvertes personnelles, même si elles ne sont pas aussi étonnantes que les créatures Pokemon Go.

Dans tous ces événements, les détaillants devraient minimiser les recommandations de produits officielles au profit des avis des utilisateurs et du contenu de la communauté, tels que les classements des offres générés par les utilisateurs, les cinq premiers articles de cette catégorie selon les évaluations des utilisateurs aujourd'hui, etc. Cela permettrait aux consommateurs de découvrir des offres et des articles que leurs pairs aiment vraiment, de renforcer la satisfaction et d'offrir des avantages psychologiques - un sentiment de faire partie d'une communauté.

So I said I’d put the last post in a draft but then deleted it like a fool. So just to sum it up, Neo decking Ruby out of nowhere was spot on, Hopefully Ruby gets to do the same to her (or maybe Yang, since she missed her shot.. it would be fitting) but I also hope Neo survives, somehow. Also Ruby Rose Deserves Better, so I guess I have to make a fix it fic where she can grow normally and ya know not have the burden of the whole world on her shoulders.

Introduction: Unfortunate Partners in Life

Right, I made the introduction chapter for this AU I created called Mindshare and I haven’t written anything in so long! I’ll definitely be expanding on this but for now, everything will be its own story with a slice of their life over the years.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21007967

I hope this can grow into something bigger once I get everything down. Gah I wish I had more time ;.; Hope you guys enjoy it! For people who don’t want to go to AO3 I’ll post the introduction under the cut~

Awareness seeped into his brain. He had finally awakened.

Systems were running as they were supposed to. All knowledge pertaining to the Armada’s history and the current objective was loaded. The file given designated him as a science drone to assist in building technology for the upcoming invasion titled Impending Doom. Red errors popped up in his mind’s eye, but he cast them aside, knowing that starting up always smooths out later. He identified himself as the Irken Zim, ready to serve the Empire and the Almighty Tallest. Zim wanted to make sure he was fully functional and ready for duty, so he took his time to run a diagnostic on his pak. Surely his leaders would want him at full-functioning capacity, and he would not let them down during his first moments of existing.

More warnings were popping up, irritating Zim and causing him to dismiss them all in a rush. He had to hurry and open his optics. The world would not wait for him forever to complete his own internal mission and join the rest in glory.

Muffled voices broke through the fog before the world was abruptly ripped away from him. He screamed to himself in the darkness of his brain, not understanding what had gone wrong. Any attempt to send a distress signal from the pak commands were unresponsive, causing his mind to retreat further into the machinery. For a short while, he could feel the cool metal floor of his smeetery chamber and hear the voices of those that would prepare him for the future. For a little bit, Zim had felt complete. Now, in this prison that housed his consciousness, he didn’t know what to do.

XXX

Maybe the armada was testing him? That could have been the answer. The mighty Zim wasn’t going to be decommissioned before proving his own worth! He would wait patiently for them to replug him back into his body and show his Tallest how functional he was. There were a few alerts about intense environmental conditions from the outside, but that was nothing to worry about. The pak was the finest technology in all of Irk. Zim would be safe unt-

XXX

Screaming. A horrible pitiful wail tore through the air. Something was terribly wrong. Only one optic nerve seemed to be working. He breathed in a gasp and paused, realizing something else wasn’t making sense. He was taking in air despite irkens not having to truly breathe. The only conclusion he could come up with was that his pak had latched onto the closest object to reawaken itself, which in this case was another life form. His pak must have gotten lost in space and landed on a distant planet.

Usually, this would be a downgrade from his superior self, but Zim saw this as a perfect opportunity to get back to his body using this borrowed vessel. If he was attached to something that was not his own irken flesh, the creature he was stuck to would eventually die off and give him complete control. Strangely, the repair protocols were being activated, feeding themselves into the life-form and repairing strange damage that couldn’t be properly identified. The energy needed being too great caused Zim to fall back into a dormant state.

XXX

Eyes blinked open, but everything seemed to be slightly blurred. Against the odds, the creature he was attached to was still alive if not a little broken. It seemed to have it’s own mind intact as well. Impressive for a less superior species. Zim could feel the weight of its presence clinging to him like a filthy growth. The mind was not inside his pak, for only one could be encoded to the machine and was binding for life. With no defenses inhabiting the organic squishy brain of the other organic Zim took a chance and pushed through to take control once more, also hoping the other mind would disappear forever. The brightness swam through eyes not his own. A giant stinky monster in some sort of clothing hovered over him, as tall as the Almighty Tallest and draped in white cloth. His eyes were covered by protective gear and his giant gloved hands reached down to pick Zim up, making him realize the host he was attached to was extremely small.

‘Warm...’ Zim thought in awe as he was able to feel for the first time since he had been plugged in. An echo of the same thought came back.

“Why hello there son! My my, you gave the boys and I such a big scare. Turns out that the device is keeping you nice and stable. No more termination for you today.”

‘Termination? Death? How dare this creature try and dispose of me! It will suffer the wrath of Zim!’

With as much power as he could Zim waved his clawless hand in front of the giant face and hissed menacingly. His strength tired out quickly however and he seemed to be pushed back into the background once again, aware that the vessel he housed had started crying again.

“Uhh sir? Why was your child hissing?”

“Oh, it’s probably nothing. He just recovered from a traumatic experience of near-death after all. There there little Dib, no more crying for tonight.” The creature cooed while attempting to rock the crying alien smeet.

‘Shut your whining you worm creature, your yelling is worse than the sqorchmurfs of planet Brakiclax!’

It cried harder as if to defy him. Oh, the creature would pay dearly when he gets control back. He could feel the pain and confusion seeping through the mental connection, creating a small barrage of half baked thoughts that could barely count as actual words or images.

It was literally a primitive smeet without knowledge or understanding. The blankest slate in the universe. Just great… The pain of the creature's emotions was getting progressively worse, causing Zim to try and console the little creature in hopes of getting it to finally quiet.

‘Um... there there little Dib-thing? Shut up so the big monster will put us down!’

Funny enough, the creature now tagged in his database as 'The Dib' stopped its crying and changed his tone to a soft whimper. After he was hooked back up to the medical equipment for monitoring and the giant creatures left, Zim made sure his host was unconscious again before extending a wire from his pak to plug into the mainframe. He had some learning to do.

XXX

Zim tried piloting the tiny legs towards the machine, already imagining many ways to blow up the miserable planet. He discovered the rock was called Earth. It’s natives called ‘humans’ dominated the land with their stink and filth. He figured his pak must have accidentally been misplaced and jettisoned into space, eventually making his way to the far uncharted planet. Even though the earth was not marked for conquering in his database he decided he would take it over and present it as an offering to his Tallest. Even though he was supposed to be a science drone hopefully doing this for his leaders would give him a promotion of joining the Invaders in conquest.

He had overheard with his overly large borrowed ears that the latest machinery the parental unit had created could potentially plunge the world into darkness. Taking over the power would surely ensure that control would be handed to Zim! This would be easier if he waited for the body he was borrowing to grow out of smeethood but there was no time to lose.

The door was big, but nothing his pak legs couldn’t fix. Making sure to not make a sound he crept into the room and prepared to take out the scientists that were hard at work in the lab. Before he could reactivate his legs to engage in attack mode the smeet woke up and started fighting his mind. Not expecting much resistance, Zim prepared his attack again only to have his body sit back down on the cold floor and cross his arms in protest.

‘Give me back control you useless stinky smeet!’

‘No!’

An unexpected reply making him pause in his efforts. The thing had barely been cognitive for weeks. The only exposer it had to the outside world was through the giant humans and through himself… wait…

‘Have you been leaching from me? You’ve been looking at the same resources I have and gathering intel from the mighty ZIM!?’

‘No…’

Well it certainly had a one-track mind, expected of a primitive life form, but ultimately a hindrance.

‘Give me back control and shut down into a sleep cycle for the night you waste of space!’

‘No no no no no no bad no!’

The ultimate temper tantrum resulted in the body rolling along the floor like a sad fleshy ball, which is how the scientists found the smeet later in the night. The pitiful worm-baby had won this round for now.

XXX

“No school! Please no school! Noooo!”

Dib cried as he pulled harder from his father’s gloved grip. He had to pretend to be as smart as a normal kid so his dad wouldn’t try and force him into science bonding time. Dib prefered the quiet life of searching the internet for new things to learn. He didn’t need to be near other people so they could make fun of his life support and his silly hair. Sadly his dad didn’t really seem to agree with him sitting in his room all day.

“Now now Dib, you need room to grow and evolve. While your sister is sleeping I need you to unpack the books I got you so you can learn responsibility. I swear the only words you like to say since you’ve started talking are ‘no’ and ‘alien’ and both words are ridiculous in this household. Now hurry up, I have a science demonstration to attend to.”

With that his dad let go of his arm and hurried downstairs, leaving Dib to sulk on his bed. At five years old Dib Membrane had learned a lot about the world. Some of his teachings were through his father when he wasn’t busy. The internet was full of information, especially about strange and unexplained mysteries of the world that science had no real answers for. The last source was a bit more… unreliable and tended to be bad most of the time.

‘Your parental unit is so bossy…’ His inner voice grumbled as Dib started packing up the books into his arm bag. The life support made it impossible to use a normal backpack.

“You mean Dad?"

‘Yes! That’s what I said filthy worm-child!’

Dib rolled his eyes at the comment, noticing at the top left his glasses had a smudge. Another reason he didn’t want to go to school. The internet said people tended to have eye problems later in their life, while he had the luck to need them very early.

“You use big words a lot. Why are you so smart when I’m not?”

‘Ehh…That’s because… I was created with knowledge already programmed. Despite your fast learning capabilities, humans are born with blank slates and squishy matter that need stuff like time and repetition.’

That caused Dib to pause and scratch his head in confusion from the big words being thrown around, making a note to research them later on the internet. He already had a book filled with words the voice tended to throw around, making him want to understand.

“Aren’t you human?”

‘Yes yes! I am definitely a fully functioning monkey-child! I mean I am you but more superior with my technological upgrades… LEAVE ME ALONE!’

The volume inside his head caused him to wince, even though he knew it wasn’t real. It was strange. People don’t usually develop voices in their heads. Maybe the voice was part of his imagination, like an imaginary friend that also worked as a duel personality. He was smarter than most people his age, he knew that fact because his dad’s lab assistants always told him, but he was also a bit strange.

He stopped at the door, with his bag safely hanging from his right arm, hands pressed together in nervousness.

“I’m scared everyone is going to make fun of me. I’m too different. Why can’t I stay home? I learn enough on my own.”

He really didn’t expect the voice to reply back, but surprisingly it did with a bit of hesitation in its voice.

‘Despite how much I’d rather stay within the close confines of accessible technology, I agree with your parental unit when he says you need to grow and evolve. With height comes power, and with knowledge comes privilege to achieve what you must do. Don’t let those smelly man creatures be the boss of you. Beside’s, gathering intel from this wasteland of a planet will be beneficial for upcoming invas- I mean challenges.’

“You’re using too many big words again, but I feel a bit better. I want to find a real monster someday, and I need to learn about the world to get there. I know that much, I think? So…thanks voice. Or uhh… imaginary friend? I don’t really know what to call you. Maybe I should name you?”

‘I am no pet smeetling! You may address me as the Almighty Superior Leader Ruler Overlord and Master Zim!’

With one last roll of his eyes, Dib pushed the door open and made his way downstairs to meet his fate.

“Right, thanks Zim.”

The 10-Year-Old that Changed Social Media

10 years ago Kevin Systrom, the creator of Instagram, said “I think that communicating via images is one of these mediums that you’re going to see take off over the next few years because of a fundamental shift in the enabling technology” when asked why did he build Instagram. Fast forward to 2020, Instagram has become one of the pioneering platforms with more than 1 Billion users and a game-changer in the social media landscape.  

In its early years, Instagram was solely a digital album helping you capture and save your special moments with its iconic filters. It, later on, became a space for bloggers migrating from other platforms in order for them to be on-trend and further reach their people. This growth prompted Facebook to buy Instagram 2 years after its launch bringing in more success to this application.  In the early 2010s, Instagram witnessed several upgrades to the app enabling users with a better experience from introducing video content (including the Boomerang app), advertising, tagging, and different editing tools. Later on, in 2015-2016, Instagram released its currently most used products Stories & Live Videos where it took down the hype of Snapchat at that time considering the fast growth of IG stories. As the application kept on growing and taking over other social platforms, Instagram launched IGTV in 2018 intended to compete against YouTube and most recently in 2020 releasing Reels against TikTok. Looking at Instagram, we can see a super-app bringing in different features from different apps, mastering them, and taking the lead.

What makes Instagram special is that it goes beyond the platform - it’s about the people, sharing stories and documenting everyone’s life. From there, people created a new persona for them on social media trying to fit in resulting in the phenomenon of “influencers” eventually. Instagram became much more than a “digital album” it evolved into a space for people to connect based on similar interests and tell a story together. Throughout the years, Instagram transformed into an influencer’s hub – can anyone remember it before them anyway? This platform created an opportunity for influencers allowing them to monetize their stories, opinions, and activities through brand partnerships. Instagram is all about monetization now which is a win-win situation for all involved stakeholders from brands, to influencers, and the platform itself. 

With Instagram, brands were able to reach their target audience through different ways including ads and influencer collaborations. It has even become the home to many small businesses as it acts as their digital storefront enabling everyone to sell what they have whether directly through Shopping catalogs or acting as an intermediary.

Since 2010, Instagram has not yet lost its momentum as a matter of fact it has been growing more and more as time passes. Why is that? It’s because Instagram listens (we promise it’s not eavesdropping though), understands, and implements. Over the past years, Instagram has introduced different policies, updates, and campaigns, in order to fight this “perfect image” ones, are expected to have on this platform after different incidents happened. This shows that Instagram is open to change and is ready to implement. They have been able to integrate many features and updates into this app in order to make it a one-stop-shop for users to consume content, buy a product, engage, and converse without leaving their app, and people like it!

Where is Instagram going? Well, it’s not going anywhere as it’s here to STAY, no? We see that the basis of Instagram will be built on three pillars: Influencer Marketing, Content, & Shopping.  Seeing how things are working now, influencer marketing is the future and it will take some time for it to lose momentum as they’ve been the voice of brands that users want to hear. The way users consume content is constantly changing and on Instagram, brands are being able to reach them no matter the way. Mastering stories should be the next milestone for brands as this is what people want to see. Finally, integrating a seamless shopping experience for users through social media and especially Instagram might even compensate for websites.  

Over the past decade, Instagram has changed the way people eat, travel, dress, live, and consume content – and the best is yet to come! Where do you see Instagram in 2030? 🤔
