Idk if Sex doll!au Alhaitham has been discussed yet…(honestly it probably has been, but it was likely during the times when I wasn’t keeping up to date with this blog. Tumblr’s shitty search function doesn’t help with finding out either.)

Anyway, I’d like to share my thoughts about it, if that’s okay.

-I think sex doll! Alhaitham would mostly be for professional and academic purposes. He’s not reccomended for younger grades, mostly just colleges.

-His general purposes are office/administrative related. Especially since he’s a “scribe”, he’s especially good at file management and documentation. I don’t think it be uncommon to see him assisting librarians alongside a Lisa model…or maybe helping archeologists/museums workers catalogue info about artifacts.

-I think his way of not doing anything more than what his job asks of him would stay even as an Android. I know that as a product, he’d probably wouldn’t be given leeway or time off like that; but the thought of someone trying to assign tasks to Alhaitham that are outside his designated role being ignored by him is funny to me.

-if Alhaitham is acting as a companion doll in someone’s home, I can only imagine that he’s incredibly annoying. Alhaitham normally chooses to ignore social etiquette, and as an android it has to be even worse.

tw - unhealthy relationships, slight infantilization, slight stalking.

i think he'd absolutely be marketed toward researchers as a sort of lab assistant who acts like you're the lab assistant, if that makes sense. he specializes in archival work and bureaucracy, but he's a bit of a jack-of-all-trades and it's not uncommon to see him alongside more outdoorsy androids like cyno and albedo when you're out doing fieldwork. he's also especially loved by students for his,,, strict attitude toward studying. you wouldn't think the ability to say 'i'm not touching your dick until you finish your thesis' would be such a popular feature in a literal sex doll, but, y'know, what does it for you does it for you, i guess.

you're not a student, though, or a researcher - just a librarian for a big enough branch to warrant writing off a helper android as a business expense. you probably could've gotten away with bringing on lisa or nahida, but you were able to find a second-hand alhaitham for a price you couldn't turn up and figured dealing with the occasional comment on your organization skills or catalog maintenance was better than wasting an extra thousand dollars on a robot that'll be reading to children twice a week. he works well enough, too, even if it does take a few days for him to get used to the idea that you won't be using him for his, uh, intended purposes. it just doesn't feel right, considering he's basically one of your employees - something he's surprisingly indifferent about, considering how judgemental he's rumored to be about, well, everything.

you do take him home at night, though, since the alternative is leaving him in a dark building alone all night and trying to live with the guilt. he's a polite enough houseguest, even if does occasionally let out a disapproving huff at your admittedly less-than-steller diet, but he does have a few... bugs, you guess, for lack of something better to call his little lapses in decorum. he's overstepped his boundaries a few times - taking pens and reports out of your hands because you 'have a tendency to mess these things up', checking on you in the middle of the night when he's supposed to be charging - but he'll never indulge your attempts to confront him, just clicking his tongue and shaking his eyes. sometimes, he brings up your stress levels, mentions off-handedly that orgasms are known to reduce overall tension, but denies that he's done anything wrong when you ask him to change his behavior. he's good at that - justifying himself, bending his protocols until he can get away with practically anything. you'd be lying if you said you weren't a little worried, knowing the awful rumors that spread about second-hand andriods, about how demeaning alhaitham can be when he's supposed to be little more than a platonic assistant.

you'd be lying if you said you weren't a little worried that, one day, he'd find a way to justify disregarding your autonomy altogether.

[thegoldencontracts]

Hear me out:

MC is basically a Tsum Whisperer and basically see a Tsum Azul out in the wild.

((It waved tiny contracts and is aware of his cuteness))

So they bring it back to Azul.

I'm hearing you out and you're absolutely right.

Tsum-Whisperer

Summary: You seem to have a unique talent for making tsums move— all you need is a flute! So, of course, you use it on Azul's tsum. And the little creature seems to take a liking to you!

Notes: Tsum! Azul's so cuteeee <3

You had many regrets pertaining to your life. Many, many things that you longed to undo. Things never come to fruition; wastes of time.

Right now, however, learning to play the flute certainly wasn't one of them.

The tsums could be—put lightly—a tad overly energetic, restraining them often proving to be almost impossible. You'd seen the painstaking efforts some had taken trying to do just that, only to fail miserably.

So, when you looked up from playing a little tune on the flute to see a crowd of tsums gathered around you, it was quite the relief.

An easy way to get them under control. One that didn't involve getting into fights with a literal plushie, or trying to make said literal plushie play Call of Duty. You always made sure to keep an eye out for any stray tsums, in case you could help bring them back.

And right now, you were face to face with Azul's tsum.

...You didn't really know how. Usually, the tsums didn't just— Just directly approach you like this!

Still, there you were, huddled up as the tsum climbed up to your knees, making firm eye contact with those beady eyes of its.

And it pulled out a contract. Very cutely.

"Aww," you crooned. "Hi there, tsum tsum!"

Azul Tsum smirked. That damned creature knew how adorable it was.

"Do you need-"

It nudged the contract towards you. Was this some sort of trick? Had Azul put it up to this to make you sign something?

"Nice try," you said, pushing the contract away—gently, of course. "I'm gonna take you back to Azul, got it?"

It pouted, jumping up in anger. As expected.

You just played your flute, instantly calming it as it started following you.

Now, for the trip to Mostro Lounge.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Making it to the VIP room was easy enough, even if you had to pay for a drink in the process. The hard part would be dealing with Azul. That infuriatingly suave yet ultimately cold businessman; a man who effortlessly ensnared Azul into his webs of honeyed half-truths, before practically devouring them whole.

...And your crush. Yes, it was odd, but you would process that some other time! For now, you had a Tsum to return.

"Special delivery!" You said as you swung open the door to the VIP room. Neatly organized columns of paperwork were piled up on Azul's desk, a few certificates and generic marketing posters hung up on the wall. The furniture was almost painfully pristine, leaving you with the odd yet clearly untrue feeling they'd never been touched; as if the chairs were never sat upon, the drawers never used.

It felt almost inhuman, as did Azul's perfectly corporate smile as he looked up from the study guide he was drafting to meet your gaze.

For a split second, though, it seemed like that smile was meeting his eyes.

"Is there something you requi- Oh, thank you kindly," he said, as you plopped the tsum onto his desk. "Please claim reimbursement for your obligatory drink, along with a twenty-percent-off coupon for your next drink here as repayment."

Almost robotically, he pulled an off-white envelope with a lavender seal from a pile of identical envelopes—not to be confused with the seven other piles, each of which contained envelopes with a slightly different shade of off-white, only able to be differentiated by the color of their seals—and handed it to you.

You ripped open the envelope, causing Azul's face to crumple in a mix of disgust and discomfort for a split second before it returned to the corporate smile, and revealing a perfectly uncrumpled bill atop a coupon that looked much too fancy to be called a coupon. How— Azul.

"Do you really have a pile of these lying around?" You asked, stepping a bit closer to the desk. There was still quite a gap, the VIP room was spacious, after all, but you were just a bit closer to Azul now.

The tsum, sensing an opportunity, instantly jumped up at you, landing on your arm with the contract back in hand. Azul let out an almost calculated chuckle.

"It wants you to sign, it would seem," Azul said. "Do you truly intend on crushing this little creature's hopes?"

Was he amused? Did he have ulterior motives? Secretly annoyed? You simply couldn't tell.

The tsum nudged the contract closer to you, still refusing to depart from your arm. You were quite thankful the flute was in your bag, out of its reach.

"I- uh- don't have a problem signing, but- a pen-"

The tsum handed you a pen. Azul's expression still hadn't changed a bit.

"It seems you've run out of excuses," Azul said with a laugh. "Do indulge the creature's wish now."

And so, unable to resist, you signed. If this was how you got scammed by Azul—

The tsum unfurled the contract. In sloppy, large letters, it said:

'Be frens?'

You laughed.

"Would you look at that?" You said. "It just wanted to be friends. How cute."

"Indeed," Azul said.

"Way cuter than you and your contracts," You said jokingly. A scowl briefly crossed Azul's lips.

"Does cuteness truly matter?" He said. "There are many factors that determine my clear superiority over the little creature."

"Are there, now?" You said, raising an eyebrow. Azul's face fell in displeasure. A genuine displeasure, not the manufactured slight judgement to establish an air of superiority, or the clearly feigned hurt for the sake of being a pedant.

"Do you truly believe I'm inferior to the tsum?" He said. It took quite a few seconds for the underlying emotions to dawn upon you.

"You're- Jealous of the tsum?" You asked. In an instant, Azul realized you'd caught on, scrambling to compose himself.

"Well- I- er- it's merely a creature-"

"It's alright, r-really!" You said hastily. "I don't actually think you're worse than the tsum. You've got a lot going for you, like your smarts, work ethic, talents, soft voice, good looks—"

Damnit. You'd said too much.

"Er, pardon?" Azul said, looking less creeped out and more... Flustered. Like he was overjoyed yet embarrassed.

No, no. It was probably all in your head. Just-

"I gotta go!" You said hastily. "Bye, Azul!"

And with that, you dashed out the VIP Room, after you left, Azul smiled fondly, looking at the tsum with a sigh.

"I really was quite foolish to envy you," he said. "After all, one cannot date a Tsum."

"Sump Panda" Bone Picker - (Homo sapiens quisquiliae collectori) - Necromunda

A lesser known abhuman species, Homo sapiens quisquiliae collectori is a race of humans originally found on Forlax Primus, Secondus, and Tertius, a series of waste worlds almost completely covered in detritus dumped from across the imperium. Generally ignored by most imperial crews, they are simply left alone. However, whether smuggled onboard freighters, or picked up by rogue traders, they can be found in many sumps across the Imperium, including Necromunda.

While the ruling class on many planets consider them either mutants or vermin, and the general consensus in the upper hives is extermination on sight, the "Sump Pandas" as they are known by the inhabitants of the underhives are in high demand by many gangs.

Coercing one or several of these creatures to join one's gang through bribes, bartering, or bullying is a fast way to come into possession of all sorts of technology and riches, as these abhumans have a knack for both thievery and finding all manner of things in the underhives. From esoteric weapons and smuggled stims to functional mining robots lost under piles of refuse, a squad of them can pick an entire black market clean or sort through several metric tons of trash for a single plasma power cell.

Tarnished pt 22

[Helluva Boss AU where Blitzø’s childhood theft from Stolas’ palace is discovered and major consequences ensue for everyone involved.]

[Part 22/?? Word count: 1236 Cw: drug use, addiction, language]

—————

Barb sorted through Fizzarolli’s fan mail in her tiny office. Ostensibly, she was her friend’s bodyguard whenever he was in Greed; she was also acting as his assistant. Mammon didn't want anyone on his payroll wasting time. Technically, she worked for Fizz, which meant she could refuse the Sin. But doing administrative tasks when Fizz wasn’t surrounded by fans kept Mammon from grumbling at his brand face.

And he needed help with the mail. The Fizzies had launched in full two weeks before the fifth annual clown pageant. Fizzarolli had won that as well; his upgraded extendable limbs added to his already impressive act.

Barb had to give some credit to Mammon, he knew how to market people and products. Fizz’s second win in a row and his comeback story with the launch of Fizzy robots for every occasion, all of Hell knew the imp’s face. And they were willing to pay Mammon’s prices for merchandise.

All that exposure meant fans and fans meant all sorts of messages. Letters, forum messages, Sinstagram posts, fanart both wholesome and lewd. Mammon had a PR team for all the digital content, since that was public. The physical mail also went through the PR team before being sent to Fizz. There was still a massive amount needing replies, which Barb was helping with.

“Jesus H. Christ,” she muttered, sorting through the day's pile. There wasn’t anything dangerous in the envelopes, Mammon’s people saw to that. But the amount of requests for feet pics, pictures of Fizz without his prosthetics, offers for ‘a good time’ and straight up pornographic fanart was ridiculous. Barb felt like her eyes needed bleach some days, but she didn’t want her friend dealing with this nonsense alone. “I keep telling the assholes to not send the skeevy shit but do they listen? Noooooo, it’s ‘not their job to moderate content.’ Bullshit, you’re a PR team, it is your fucking job.”

The rejected pile steadily rose and the accepted pile gradually had a few letters added. Then she saw a name that made her want to scream. More than fan mail sorting usually did.

Blitzø.

Her fucking traitor twin. The scumbag who left- who abandoned his family and friends to be a royal pet. And now he was sending Fizzarolli fan mail?!

“What the fuck are you pulling Blitzo?” she hissed at the envelope in her claws. Nothing from him for years and once Fizz is successful and famous he tries to contact them? Not even ‘them,’ the envelope was addressed to Fizz.

Barb could tell from the feel of the envelope there were several pages in the letter. She wasn’t going to read it and she sure as shit wasn’t going to send it Fizz’s way. Most of the rejected mail was just shredded. She scrawled ‘RETURN TO SENDER’ in bold red marker. Hopefully the asshat would get the hint.

Later that day, as she and Fizz were finishing up the handful of responses to fans (mostly to kids) she debated on whether to tell him about the letter. Barb decided she’d better, in case the traitor tried to get in touch another way.

“You got another letter that went into the reject pile.” Fizz quirked an eyebrow. She usually didn’t mention the mail she filtered out unless it was important or particularly hilarious. “It was from Blitzo.”

Fizz gripped the pen he was using. His mechanical fingers twitched and the plastic tube snapped in half, creating a spray of ink. Ichor drained from his face, then his cheeks flushed again in anger. “The fuck does that asshole want?”

Barb shrugged. “Dunno. Didn’t read it, I just sent it back. Figured it can’t be that important, coming from a traitorous dickhead only when you’re famous.” He looked at her, anger at Blitzo warring with gratitude for her in his expression. “If he sends any more, I’ll send ‘em right back. Should probably tell the PR guys he might contact you another way though.”

He dumped the ruined gel pen in the trash bin and grabbed a tissue to clean his hand. “Fuck, Ozzie’s gonna be pissed if this gets in the joints. Thanks for looking out for me Barb.”

“Course Fizz. We look out for each other, right?” She decided to ignore his mention of Asmodeus. He’d been spending more time with the Sin of Lust, even now that the Fizzy robot development was done for the time being. What the fuck is it with royal demons and imp guys? she thought to herself.

Fizzarolli gave her a shaky smile and tossed the ink covered tissue into the trash. “Well I’m not up for answering more mail. Wanna call it a day and grab something terrible for us?”

Barb stood up and stretched, popping vertebrae down her spine and tail. “Thought you had a dinner meeting with Asmodeus.” She knew he did, she had to know his schedule. If he was going to be with a Deadly Sin, he really didn’t need her acting as bodyguard.

“Shit, I almost forgot. It’s not business though, if you wanna join u-“

“I’ll pass. Don’t wanna be a third wheel and all that shit.” She’d tagged along with Fizz and Ozzie once before and swore never again. Not unless she had her own date. No matter how much the two men denied it, she could see where things were headed.

Fizz stammered, “We-we’re not an item Barb! I keep telling you, it’s just business and the occasional fuck.”

“So if tonight isn’t business it’s the ‘occasional’ fuck.” She made air quotes as she walked out of the room with him. “Still don’t wanna be around for that Fizz. Have fun, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Fizz waved as she headed out the building; he had to text Ozzie to send a car up to Greed and wait for his ride.

Getting something terrible to eat sounded amazing though, so she got cheap Chinese food on the way home. The staff knew her usual order and she soon had a takeout bag in one hand and an extra egg roll to snack on as she walked.

Her studio apartment, decorated haphazardly in rock music paraphernalia, was unsurprisingly empty. She managed to keep most of her emotions at bay as she watched a hellanovella and devoured her fried rice. But there was an end to the episode and comfort food.

Anger and confusion and loneliness bubbled up. She chucked an empty takeout box at the wall and gripped the sides of her head. “Goddammit Blitzo! You’re not even here and you’re fucking up my life.” Just the reminder that he existed sent her spiraling into the worst memories.

Her brother abandoning them. Her mom covering bruises. Her dad’s rising anger towards her and Fizz. Straining to match Fizz as a partner. Fighting creeps and stalkers. The fire. Finding Fizz. Finding…her mom.

“FUCK!” she yelled, throwing a wooden chopstick after the box. She didn’t want to think about it. She didn’t want to think about anything. Barb had promised herself she wouldn’t use again; she’d been clean the past four months. But Barb four months ago hadn’t expected Blitzo to resurface. So today’s Barb unblocked her dealer’s number to see if she could hook her up fast.

As it turned out, her dealer could. And she got a second ‘something terrible’ that let her not think about anything until the high wore off.

Building a Sustainable Future: The Urgency of EV Battery Recycling and Value Recovery

As the world transitions toward electrified mobility, the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is skyrocketing. By 2030, over 2 million metric tonnes of EV batteries will reach the end of their lifecycle annually. While this presents a significant challenge, it also offers an immense opportunity for sustainable innovation. At LOHUM, we are pioneering a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries, ensuring that valuable materials are recovered and reused to build a greener future.

The Rising Need for Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling

The global shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) has led to an unprecedented surge in LIB production. However, the environmental impact of mining virgin materials such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt cannot be ignored. Establishing new mines is time-consuming, expensive, and poses environmental risks, including water depletion and hazardous waste generation. Recycling of EV batteries in India is, therefore, not just a necessity—it is a strategic imperative.

While EVs still make up a relatively small portion of the automotive market, analysts predict that battery retirements will exceed half a million vehicles annually by the end of the decade. Without a robust lithium-ion battery value recovery framework, the industry risks losing valuable resources and exacerbating environmental concerns.

Closing the Loop: Advanced Battery Recycling Technologies

Traditional recycling methods such as pyrometallurgy recover only a fraction of valuable materials and generate high emissions. Instead, LOHUM leverages advanced hydrometallurgical and direct recycling processes, which retain cathode integrity and enhance material recovery rates. Research has shown that directly recycled cathodes not only match but can even outperform virgin cathode materials in terms of longevity and charge efficiency.

By implementing cutting-edge technology, LOHUM is setting new benchmarks for lithium-ion battery value recovery. Our approach minimizes environmental impact, reduces dependence on raw material imports, and ensures a consistent domestic supply of critical battery materials.

Future Insights: A Sustainable Roadmap

Policymakers worldwide are recognizing the need for stringent battery recycling regulations. California, for example, is working toward 100% EV battery recycling or reuse. India is also making strides in this direction, with initiatives aimed at enhancing the recycling of EV batteries in India.

Automation, AI-driven sorting mechanisms, and robotic disassembly are expected to further streamline LIB recycling, making it more efficient and economically viable. These advancements will play a pivotal role in transforming EV battery recycling into a trillion-dollar industry by 2040.

LOHUM: Leading the Charge in Battery Sustainability
