Tumblr media Tumblr media
You cradled the stack of books in your arms as you looked through the large shop window onto the street outside. It had started to rain and people hastened by the unassuming storefront with umbrellas or their bags raised above their heads. It wouldn‘t be long before the foot traffic would die down completely, you thought. Although, in your opinion, there was no better place to escape to during a rainy afternoon than a secondhand bookstore. Grabbing your handy dandy footstool you made your way to a section near the back to sort away the volumes people had left lying around.
As you moved some paperbacks to the right to make more space, the battered little brass bell hanging above the entrance chimed.
“Good afternoon!“, you called out. Putting on your most inviting customer service smile you looked around the shelf to greet the new patron but all you saw was a swoosh of a little rain-damp jacket disappearing into the manga section. Shrugging your shoulders you went back to sorting, enjoying the comfortable silence of the shop and the soft sounds of the radio playing in the back.
However, after about a minute or so when you were just contemplating going to ask if you could help, you heard a quiet sob. You looked around again, thinking maybe you just imagined it, but kept your ears perked. Another suppressed sound made you climb down your footstool.
Behind the very last bookshelf sat a little boy, maybe six or seven years old, curled up to a ball, crying into his folded arms.
You approached him carefully.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
The boy lifted his head a bit. His big dark eyes were filled with tears, his lips puffy and red as if he had bitten them to muffle any sounds. He hiccuped.
Your expression softened. He reminded you of your little brother. He had the same scrunch in the nose, when he was sad.
"Can I get you anything?", you asked gently, offering a kind smile.
He shook his head and hid his face in his arms again, trembling from a new wave of sobs.
You got down on your knees and rummaged in your pocket for a tissue. You were so focused to not frighten him that you didn't notice another ring from the bell above the door.
"Here.", you held out a tissue to the boy and he took it hesitantly.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Again, a tiny shake of the head. You thought for a moment, then nodded to yourself as you shuffled a little closer to him. What would your brother need in this situation?
"Would you like a hug?", you asked.
The crying boy eyed you with uncertainty at first, wiping his tears on his sleeve. But your chubby figure paired with the rather motherly look in your eyes probably put him at ease because in the next moment he held out his short arms.
You embraced him at once, one hand on the back of his head, and one drawing soothing circles over his damp jacket.
The warmth of your hug made him break down even more. He cried into your shoulder and you held him, now slowly swaying back and forth like you did whenever your baby brother was upset.
"It's gonna be fine.", you said calmly, holding him tighter.
You sat like this for a couple of moments until finally his breathing became calmer, steadier.
"Would you like another tissue?" you asked eventually.
He nodded, rubbing his eyes. You looked around in your pockets again. "Shoot, wait, I think I still have some behind the counter."
But before you got up an outstretched hand, holding a tissue appeared next to you. You jumped a little and looked up to a rain soaked guy, a little older than you.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."
The crying boy took the offered tissue.
"You alright, Yusu-chan?", the newcomer asked, concerned.
You moved protectively in front of the child in case this guy, sweet as he may look, was who the boy ran away from.
But “Yusu-chan”, still in your arms, nodded and sniffled, “Yes, sensei.”
The young man held his hand out to you to help you up.
"Thank you.", he said in a quiet, relieved voice, so that the boy couldn't hear, "I've been looking everywhere for him."
"No problem.", you replied, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"You’ve already done more than enough, thank you very much." He bent down to pick up the boy, who immediately nuzzled into his neck.
You blushed under his genuine smile.
"I'm Koushi."
"Y/n."
"Yusuke.", said the little boy, composing himself and turning to you, his arms still around Koushi‘s neck, "I'm really sorry for crying on your shirt, miss."
You chuckled, "Oh, don't worry about it. Are you feeling a bit better now?" You reached out to pat his head and he leaned into the touch like a puppy might.
"A lot." He gave you a wide smile, exposing two missing front teeth. It would have looked sweet if the puffy eyes and red nose didn't break your heart.
For a moment the three of you just stood there a little awkwardly. "We should get going.'', Koushi said, using his free hand to ruffle his wet gray hair and considering you thoughtfully.
You nodded. Yusuke just looked back and forth between the two adults, confused.
"Well then... have a nice evening."
And so they left. You sighed when the jingle of the bell died down after the door had closed.
Staring absentmindedly after them for a few heartbeats you absurdly wondered if you‘d see them again, before shaking your head and going back to work.
A few moments later the doorbell chimed again.
"Good afternoon!", you called diligently, "I'll be right with you."
You slid the little stack of books in your arms in place and went to the front. Koushi stood by the register, nervously playing with his fingers.
"Hello again.", you smiled, your heart fluttering in hopeful excitement, "Did you forget something?"
"Yeah, actually... I was ... I was wondering if you would like to grab some coffee, maybe."
Your stomach pulled a little. "Sure, my shift ends in 2 hours."
"Great, I'll pick you up."
You both smiled at each other unsure of what to do next.
"Okay then. See you in two hours."
He turned around to leave and walked right into the door.
You winced in sympathy as he rubbed his forehead.
"That's a pull."

Tech workers and gig workers need each other
Tumblr media
Catch me in Miami! I'll be at Books and Books in Coral Gables on Jan 22 at 8PM.
Tumblr media
We're living in the enshittocene, in which the forces of enshittification are turning everything from our cars to our streaming services to our dishwashers into thoroughly enshittifified piles of shit. Call it the Great Enshittening:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/09/lead-me-not-into-temptation/#chamberlain
How did we arrive at this juncture? Is it the end of the zero rate interest policy? Was it that the companies that formerly made useful things that we valued underwent a change in leadership that drove them to make things worse? Is Mercury in retrograde?
None of the above. There have been many junctures in which investors demanded higher returns from firms but were not able to force them to dramatically worsen their products. Moreover, the leaders now presiding over the rapid unscheduled disassembly of once-useful products are the same people who oversaw their golden age. As to Mercury? Well, I'm a Cancer, and as everyone knows, Cancers don't believe in astrology.
The Great Enshittening isn't precipitated by a change in how greedy and callous corporate leaders are. Rather, the change is in what those greedy, callous corporate leaders can get away with.
Capitalists hate capitalism. For a corporate executive, the fact that you have to make good things, please your customers, pay your workers, and beat the competition are all bugs, not features. The best business is one in which people simply pay you money without your having to do anything or worry that someday they'll stop. UBI for the investor class, in other words.
Douglas Rushkoff calls this "going meta." Don't sell things, provide a platform where people sell things. Don't provide a platform, invest in the platform. Don't invest in the platform, buy options on the platform. Don't buy options, buy derivatives of options.
A more precise analysis comes from economist Yanis Varoufakis, who calls this technofeudalism. Varoufakis draws our attention to the distinction between profits and rents. Profit is the income a capitalist receives from mobilizing workers to do something productive and then skimming off the surplus created by their labor.
By contrast, rent is income a feudalist derives from simply owning something that a capitalist or a worker needs in order to be productive. The entrepreneur who opens a coffee shop earns profits by creaming off the surplus value created by the baristas. The rentier who owns the building the coffee shop rents gets money simply for owning the building.
The coffee shop owner can never rest. At any moment, another coffee shop can open down the street and lure away their customers and their baristas. When that happens, the coffee shop goes bust and the owner is ruined. But not the landlord! After the coffee shop goes bust, the landlord's asset is more valuable – an empty storefront just down the street from the hottest coffee shop in town.
Capitalists hate capitalism. Faced with a choice of retaining their workers by paying them a fair wage and treating them well, or by saddling them with noncompetes that make it impossible to work for anyone else in the same field, and obligations to repay tens of thousands of dollars for "training" if they quit, bosses will take the latter every time. Go meta, baby.
Same for competition. Faced with the choice of competing to win the most customers with the best products, or merging so that customers have nowhere else to go, even the bitterest of rivals find it remarkably easy to intermarry until our corporations landscape is so interbred the dominant firms all have Habsburg jaws. Think: Facebook-Instagram. Disney-Fox. Microsoft-Activision:
https://locusmag.com/2021/07/cory-doctorow-tech-monopolies-and-the-insufficient-necessity-of-interoperability/
Enshittification has complex underlying dynamics and a reliable procession of stages, but the effect is quite straightforward: things are enshittified when they become worse for the people who use them and the suppliers who makes them, but nevertheless, the users keep using and the suppliers keep supplying.
There are four forces that stand in the way of enshittification, and as each of these forces grows weaker, enshittification proliferates.
The first and most important of these constraints is competition. Capitalists claim to love competition because it keeps firms sharp: they must constantly find ways to improve products and cut costs or be swept away by a superior alternative. There's a degree of truth here, but that's not the whole story.
For one thing, competition can "improve" things that we would rather see abolished. Critics of the GDPR, the EU's landmark privacy law, often point to the devastation that enforcing privacy law had on the European ad-tech industry, driving small firms out of business. But these firms were the most egregious privacy offenders, because they had the least to lose, lacking the dominant position of US-based Big Tech surveillance companies.
Having the least to lose, they were the most reckless with their privacy invasions – but they were also the least equipped to pay expensive enablers from giant corporate law firms to hold off European enforcers, and so they were obliterated. The resulting lack of competition is fine, as far as privacy goes: we don't want competition in the field of "who is most efficient at violating our human rights":
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/fighting-floc-and-fighting-monopoly-are-fully-compatible
But there's another benefit to competition: disorganization. A sector with hundreds of medium-sized, competing companies is a squabbling mob, incapable of agreeing on the site for an annual meeting. An industry dominated by a handful of firms is a cartel, handily capable of presenting a unified front to policy makers, and their commercial coziness provides them with vast war-chests they can use to suborn governments and capture their regulators:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/05/regulatory-capture/
Competition is the first constraint. When there's competition, corporate managers fear that you will respond to enshittification by defecting to a rival, costing them money. They don't care about your satisfaction, but they do care about your money, and competition hitches their ability to satisfy you to their ability to get paid by you.
Competition has been circling the drain for 40 years, as the "consumer welfare" theory of antitrust, hatched by Reagan's court sorcerers at the University of Chicago School of Economics, took hold. This theory insists that monopolies are evidence of "efficiency" – if everyone shops at one store, that's evidence that it's the best store, not evidence that they're cheating.
For 40 years, we've allowed companies to violate antitrust law by merging with major competitors, acquiring fledgling rivals, and using investor cash to sell below cost so that no one else can enter the market. This has produced the inbred industrial hulks of today, with five or fewer firms dominating everything from eyeglasses to banking, sea freight to professional wrestling:
https://www.openmarketsinstitute.org/learn/monopoly-by-the-numbers
The endless and continuous weakening of competition has emboldened corporate enshittifiers, who operate on the logic of Lily Tomlin in her role as an AT&T spokeswoman: "We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company":
https://vimeo.com/355556831
But the drawdown of competition has also enabled regulatory capture, by converting cutthroat adversaries to kissing cousins. These companies have convinced their regulators not to enforce privacy, consumer protection or labor laws, provided that the gross violations of these laws are accomplished via apps.
This is where tech exceptionalism is warranted: while the bosses that run these companies aren't any nobler – or more wicked – than the Robber Barons of yore, they are equipped with a digital back-end for their businesses that let them change the rules of the game from moment to moment.
Think of labor law: as Veena Dubal writes, gig-work companies practice algorithmic wage discrimination, turning your paycheck into a slot machine that pays out more when you are more selective about which jobs you take, and which then docks your pay by tiny increments as you become less discriminating about answering the app's call:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/#fishers-of-men
This is a plain violation of labor law, but the fiction that gig workers are contractors, combined with the opacity and speed of the wage discrimination back-end, lets the companies get away with it.
But the monsters who hatched this scam are no worse than their forebears, nor are they any smarter. Any black-hearted coal-boss memorialized in a Tennessee Ernie Ford song would have gladly practiced algorithmic wage discrimination – but there just weren't enough green-eyeshade accountants in the back office to change the payout from second to second.
I call this "twiddling" – turning the knobs on the back end to continuously adjust the business logic that the firm operates on:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/19/twiddler/
Twiddling is everywhere, and it is only possible because "it's not a crime if we use an app" has been accepted by (captured) regulators. Think of Amazon's "pricing paradox," where deceptive search results – which Amazon makes $38b/year on – allow the company to offer lower prices, but charge higher ones:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/06/attention-rents/#consumer-welfare-queens
The first constraint on enshittification is competition – the fear that you'll lose money when a disgusted customer take their business elsewhere. The second constraint is regulation – the fear that a regulator's punishment will eat up all the expected gains from an enshittificatory move, or even exceed those gains, leading to a net loss.
But the less competition there is in a sector, the easier it is for the remaining companies to capture their regulators. Say goodbye to that second constraint.
But there's another constraint – another one that's unique to technology, and genuinely exceptional. That's self-help. Digital technology is infinitely flexible, which is why managers can twiddle the business logic and change the rules on a dime.
But it's a double-edged sword. Users can twiddle back. The universal nature of digital products means it's always technically possible to disenshittify the enshittified products in your world. Mercedes wants to charge you rent on your accelerator pedal via a monthly subscription? Just mod the car by toggling the "subscription paid" bit and get the accelerator for free:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon
HP tricks you into installing a "security update" that sneakily disables your printer's ability to recognize and use third-party ink? Just roll back the operating system and you won't be forced to spend $10,000/gallon to print out your boarding passes and shopping lists:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/ink-stained-wretches-battle-soul-digital-freedom-taking-place-inside-your-printer
Self-help – AKA "adversarial interoperability" – isn't just a way to override the greedy choices of corporate sadists. It's a way to hold those sadists in check. It's a constraint.
Imagine a boardroom where someone says, "I calculate that if we make our ads 25% more invasive and obnoxious, we can eke out 2% more in ad-revenue." If you think of a business as a transhuman colony organism that exists to maximize shareholder value, this is a no-brainer.
But now consider the rejoinder: "If we make our ads 25% more obnoxious, then 50% of our users will be motivated to type, 'how do I block ads?' into a search engine. When that happens, we don't merely lose out on the expected 2% of additional revenue – our income from those users falls to zero, forever."
Self-help is the third constraint on enshittification. But when competition fails, and regulatory capture ensues, companies don't just gain the ability to flout the law – they get to wield the law, too.
Tech firms have cultivated a thicket of laws, rules and regulations that make self-help measures very illegal. This thicket is better known as "IP," a term that is best understood as meaning "any policy that lets me control the conduct of my competitors, my customers and my critics":
https://locusmag.com/2020/09/cory-doctorow-ip/
To put an ad-blocker in an app, you have to reverse-engineer it. To do that, you'll have to decrypt and decompile it. That step is a felony under Section 1201 of the DMCA, carrying a five-year prison sentence and a $500,000 fine. Beyond that, ad-blocking an app would give rise to liability under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (a law inspired by the movie Wargames!), under "tortious interference" claims, under trademark, copyright and patent.
More than 50% of web users have installed an ad-blocker:
https://doc.searls.com/2023/11/11/how-is-the-worlds-biggest-boycott-doing/
But zero percent of app users have installed an ad-blocker, because they don't exist, because you'd go to prison if you made one. An app is just a web-page wrapped in enough IP to make it a felony to add an ad-blocker to it.
This is why self-help, the third constraint, no longer applies. When a corporate sadist says, "let's make ads 25% more obnoxious to get 2% more revenue," no one says, "if we do that, our users will all install blockers." Instead, the response is, "let's make ads 100% more obnoxious and get an 8% revenue boost!"
https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/16/23763227/uber-video-advertising-ads-taxi-food-delivery-apps
Which brings me to the final constraint: workers.
Tech workers have historically enjoyed enormous bargaining power, thanks to a dire shortage of qualified personnel. While this allowed tech workers to command high salaries and cushy benefits, it also led many workers to conceive of themselves as entrepreneurs-in-waiting and not workers at all.
This made tech workers very exploitable: their bosses could sell them on the idea that they were doing something heroic, which warranted "extremely hardcore" expectations – working 16 hour days, sleeping under your desk, sacrificing your health, your family and your personal life to meet deadlines and ship products ("Real artists ship" – S. Jobs).
But the flip side of this appeal to heroism is that it only worked to the extent that it convinced workers to genuinely care about the things they made. When you miss you mother's funeral and pass on having kids in order to meet deadline and ship a product, the prospect of making that product worse is unthinkable.
Confronted by the moral injury of enshittifying a product you care about, and harming the users you see yourself as representing, many tech workers balked at the prospect. Because tech workers were scarce – and because there were plenty of employment prospects for workers who quit – they could actually prevent their bosses from making their products worse:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/25/moral-injury/#enshittification
But those days are behind us, too. Mass tech worker layoffs have gutted tech workers' confidence. When Google lays off 12,000 tech workers just months after a stock buyback that would have paid their wages for the next 27 years, they deliver two benefits to their shareholders. It's not just the short-term gains from the financial engineering – there's the long-term gain of gutting worker power and stripping away the final impediment to enshittification:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/10/the-proletarianization-of-tech-workers/
No matter how strong an individual tech worker's bargaining power was, it was always brittle. Long before googlers were being laid off in five-digit cohorts, they were working in an environment where harassment and predation were just part of the job. The 20,000+ googlers who walked off the job in 2018 were an important step towards replacing the system where each tech worker's power was limited to their moment-to-moment importance to their bosses' plans with a new system based on a collective identity.
Only through collective action and solidarity – unions – could tech workers hope to truly resist all the moral injuries of their bosses enshittification imperatives. No surprise then, that tech unions are on the rise:
https://abookapart.com/products/you-deserve-a-tech-union
But what is a little surprising – and very heartening! – is what happens when techies start to self-identify as workers: they come to understand that they share common cause with the other workers at the bottom of the tech stack. Think of Amazon's tech workers walking out in solidarity with Amazon's warehouse workers:
https://gizmodo.com/tech-workers-speak-out-in-support-of-amazon-warehouse-s-1842839301
Superficially, the bottom rank of the tech industry is as different from the tech workers at the top as you can imagine. Tech workers are formally employed, with stock options, health care and theme-park "campuses" with gyms and gourmet cafeterias.
The gig workers who pack, drive, deliver and support tech products aren't even employees – they're misclassified as contractors. They don't get free massages – they get AI bosses that monitor their eyeballs and dock their paychecks for peeing:
https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/11/robots-stole-my-jerb/#computer-says-no
Gig workers desperately need unions, but they also derive extraordinary benefits from self-help measures. When an app is your boss, another app can make all the difference to your working conditions. Take Para, an app that fights algorithmic wage discrimination by allowing gig workers to collectively and automatically refuse any job where the pay is below a certain threshold, forcing the algorithm to pay everyone more:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/tech-rights-are-workers-rights-doordash-edition
Para is fighting a grim legal and technical battle against companies like Doordash, whose margins depend on atomized workers with atomized apps, prohibited from countertwiddling. This is a surprisingly effective tactic: in Indonesia, gig workers co-ops create suites of "tuyul" apps that modify the behavior of their bosses' apps', unilaterally securing concessions that they lack the bargaining power to secure by other means:
https://pluralistic.net/2021/07/08/tuyul-apps/#gojek
Tuyul apps and other forms of countertwiddling aren't a substitute for unionization, they're an adjunct to it. The union negotiator whose rank-and-file are able to modify the apps that monitor and control their working conditions operates from a position of strength. "Please give my members more bathroom breaks" is a lot weaker than, "If you want my members to stop hacking their apps so they can piss when they need to, you're going to have to give them official bathroom breaks."
This is where solidarity between the high-paid tech workers at the keyboard and low-paid tech workers on the delivery bikes comes in. Together, they can wring more concessions from their bosses, sure. But unionized coders can give their unionized delivery riders the apps they need to countertwiddle and increase the bargaining leverage of all the workers in the union. And when unionized coders' bosses force them to put enshittifying anti-features in the apps they care about, unionized front-line workers can run counter-apps that disenshittify them.
Other sectors are already working through versions of this. The ouster of the old corrupt leadership of the Teamsters ushered in a new, radical era that produced historic wage and working condition gains for drivers and the abolition of the two-tier contract system that eventually destroys any union that tries it.
That change in leadership was possible because the Teamsters organized the Harvard Grad Students, and those Harvard kids memorized the union rulebook. At the historic conference where the old guard was abolished, it was teamwork between the union rank-and-file and the rules-lawyers from Harvard that turned the proceedings around:
https://theintercept.com/2023/04/07/deconstructed-union-dhl-teamsters-uaw/
We are deep into the enshittocene and it is terribly demoralizing. But by understanding the constraints that kept enshittification at bay, we can rebuild them, and shore them up. Labor organizing among all kinds of tech workers isn't just a way to get a better deal for those workers – it's key to the disenshittification of all our lives.

Stardew Curiosities
Location: Nestled in the heart of the Crescent Ward, Stardew Curiosities occupies a modest, ivy-covered storefront just off a quiet side street, blending seamlessly among local shops and residences. Positioned close enough to draw regular customers from both the Harborfront and Moonspire Isle, the shop is frequented by locals, mages from the Academy of the Arcane Wind, and the occasional elite customer from Moonspire. The crescent-shaped alley glows at night with enchanted lanterns, creating a subtle path toward the shop’s front door.
Shopkeeper: Fenwick Starfall, the eccentric and slightly reclusive half-elf wizard, has made his shop a local curiosity. Known for his storytelling and vast knowledge of arcane lore, he often spends his evenings discussing enchantments and local legends with customers over a cup of herbal tea. His shop is famous for the enchanting spells that cause its sign to change with the moon’s phases.
Key Features Inside:
Lunar Scroll Section: A dedicated corner displays scrolls tied to moon and weather magic, highly sought after by students and professors from the Academy of the Arcane Wind.
The Skylight Orb: Centered on a shelf is a large crystal orb that reflects the night sky. Fenwick claims it connects to Lumaria's floating islands, helping adventurers and scholars track celestial shifts.
The Crescent Cabinet: This glass case holds rare, precious items, including Bottled Stardust and the Moonlight Pendants—items that have garnered a local following among Crescent Ward residents for their subtle protective charms.
Services Unique to the Crescent Ward:
Apprentice Enchantments: Fenwick provides guidance and simpler enchantments for young magic students at discounted rates, fostering goodwill with the academy.
Dream Interpretation: As many citizens of the Crescent Ward work late or face unpredictable shifts, Fenwick offers readings and interpretations of dreams and omens—a favorite among the Crescent Ward’s superstitious locals.
Secret Features & Rumors:
A rumor whispers that Fenwick’s shop hides a concealed, spell-warded vault rumored to protect dangerous relics collected from across Lumaria. It’s said only those who can pass his “Crescent Challenge” (a subtle magical test Fenwick conducts) are granted access to his rarest items, kept locked away until the “right” seeker finds them.

modern au - caster and lancer (hereby called sétanta (lancer) and aiden (caster)) are former military who both work at caster's "Plants and Ect." shop.
Sétanta is generally a freelance woodworker- it gives him something to do with his hands and keeps him busy. He has a lot of energy, generally a lot more outgoing than his older twin brother, Aiden, and is the one who basically created the storefront from scratch and vague input from Aiden. Has trauma from his days in service, but generally it doesn't bother him as much as it does his twin. He's mainly called "Shay" because his full name is a mouthful (Shay-dan-da). Friendly and sociable, but also tends to cuss every other word because "why not".
Aiden, on the other hand, is the owner of "Plants and Ect". His therapist told him he needed a hobby to occupy his time, and so he started growing plants. Got a service dog for his PTSD because he got really bad one day and even his twin couldn't get him out of it-- but Culann can! Lost sight in his left eye because of a knife, has a nasty scar over said eye and keeps it covered with a cloth tied around his head. Sétanta generally secures it for him every morning after they've both woken up fully. He makes his own tea and is a fantastic cook, generally selling snacks in his store to go with the various teas or just as snacks to nibble. Sometimes gets really bad flashbacks so secludes himself to his room.
Culann is Aiden's service dog who just seems to be a well-trained pet. He has a collar that says "SERVICE" on it, as Aiden doesn't want to draw too much attention to the fact he needs a service dog. He's a sociable dog, much like Aiden's twin is sociable, and adores those his owner adores. However, if Aiden is in trouble or needs help, Culann will generally go for Sétanta, as the twins aren't too far from one another, and get him to help.
Out of the two, Aiden is the oldest by twenty minutes. He's also the voice of reason while Sétanta is just the sociable party animal.
They live in the house connected to the storefront, which has a basically huge-ass druid sanctuary in the back with items made by Sétanta for them to hang out and chill back there. They're usually in the sanctuary if the store's closed.

Return From Origins Part 5
________________________________________________
( Hello! Today, we’re going shopping
Masterlist ) 
________________________________________________
“mMnn!” 
“Iruma-sama, it’s almost done, please hold on a little longer.”
Iruma was getting fitted for a new wardrobe and Sullivan opted to take everyone as a fun family outing.
He was probably a little apprehensive about the measuring tape.
Meanwhile, Sullivan and you deigned to wait for Opera and Iruma outside in an adjacent drawing room, looking at different designs. 
“I think a good pair of shorts and shirts would be good for him..” you start. “He also needs long socks and shoes, such will be perfect for practical uses like hunting and staying warm without over heating.”
‘Hunting?’ yeah, the demons servicing you are a little confused but brush it off as a Sullivan’s daughter thing. (All the strong demons are already strange on the regular.)
“Mou~! I want more cute clothes for the coming Summer! Imagine! Our cute little boy in a sailor suit!”
“Hmm, he’s still a baby right now though... maybe it’d be better to stick with mid weight onesies? We can still get some spring showers and he’s not quite old enough to maintain his body heat...”
“W-why don’t we move on to an ensemble for the Ms?”
~~~
Now, it probably wasn’t the best idea to come out into the public, but Balam managed to concoct two perfumes, one for now (gentler) and one for as he grows (stronger). As for you, it’s been about a month, some wilder habits are hard to kill off but you’re adjusting alright. The real issue, however, was whether or not your eyes would ever go back to being normal looking. They haven’t yet, but masks and veils should provide a temporary remedy till they do.
As part of your reappearance to society, shopping was a critical necessity; especially as your get up of Opera’s spare clothes, a delicate veil, and long untamed hair, due to just how much there was (and unspeakable damage), didn’t really pair well.
“Welcome, Lord Sullivan.” Ah, you were here.
“Hi Hiii~! I’m here to get a wardrobe tailored for my daughter here~!”
“Understo-“ they’re cut off as they get a glimpse of your ensemble. “…”
You rub the back of your neck.
“Would you like for us to call for a hair dresser as well? My colleague runs the boutique next door.”
Sullivan looks to you.
“That would be nice, thank you.” You took the liberty to respond at that.
~~~
Fresh cut, fresh wash, fresh clothes, you looked…
So damn good.
Absolutely drop dead, on my knees, step on me please, gorgeous.
Opera and Iruma shared the same starry eyes expression as Sullivan took the opportunity to snap some good transformation photos.
“Mmamamama”
“I’m here Iruma.” Opera gives your look a nod of approval and a satisfied ear twitch as you take your son.
“We look pretty good, don’t we, Irumamamama.”
He giggles his baby giggle.
“Why don’t we break for lunch now? I feel refreshed but also a little worn, we’ve been busy.”
Hours of shopping and hours of grooming will do that to you.
“Fufufu~ as you wish~! I hear there’s a nice sweets shop nearby.”
“I meant food first, Su-… Da-… Father.”
“Huuu~ C’moooon~ just this once~?”
“My Lady is right Master, we ought to eat a proper meal and then have desert. Besides, you already ate so many chocolates on the way over, did you think I wouldn’t notice?”
“Hmph~.” He pouted…
~~~
“Kalego-kun? What are you doing here?”
“Hng!” You swear you could see him age a couple centuries just by hearing Opera call him.
After a lovely lunch, which felt so relaxing not having to catch it yourself, you relented to your father’s (it still felt a little odd referring to him as such) begging and went to ‘King’s Sweetery’.
Iruma was calm in your arms but you could see how he gazed with so much wonder at the colorful storefront.
Unlike your former schoolmate as he struggled to maintain a gentler heart rate.
“Opera,” you decide to spare the near death demon, “would you please stop Father from buying the whole store? We don’t need Iruma getting any cavities now.”
Opera absolutely knew what you were doing but obliged all the same, especially since what you said was true, Sullivan was discussing what appeared to be a contract with a very distraught looking manager.
“As you wish, my Lady.”
“…”
“…”
Once Opera was out of earshot you hear Kalego breath a sigh of relief before recomposing himself and staring stoically at you with crossed arms.
“… He’s… oddly well behaved.” Great start, Kalego.
“Well, I’d say it’s because he’s mine but… we both know otherwise.”
Iruma, chose that exact moment to stare curiously at the stern demon.
“Would you like to say ‘Hi’? Iruma?” You start to step closer to Kalego, a smile forming on the exposed half of your face.
“Tsk, are you sure that’s a good idea?”
To be honest, not really. It didn’t take a scientist to know that Kalego as a person took to children like oil to water, and vice versa. But… you wanted to ensure that, with your slow assimilation to society, Iruma would have an easier time with his current support and more.
Plus, unlike most babies, Iruma was a special case.
“Gaah!” He cooed sweetly.
“… what are you looking at?”
“Wuuuuu aaah! Ah!”
And to your surprised, Iruma makes as though he’s reaching out to Kalego, before settling and slowly mimicking the grumpy demon’s stern expression.
“Wuuu.” Like a little growl escapes his lips, till it’s followed by a giggle.
Needless to say Kalego wasn’t all too thrilled and his frown deepened.
“It’s not polite to mock others,” with much hesitation, Kalego reaches out a finger… and pokes his cheek.
“Wuh!” Pouts Iruma.
“Heh…” Kalego smiles, not entirely malicious, but catches himself after the look you give him and coughs to clear his throat.
“I am, Naberius Kalego.” He gently offers his hand to shake. (Very professional)
“Wuu..!” Iruma, very cutely places his own hand into Kalego’s.
“There’s a good boy, Irumaaaa” you tickle him and follow his cute giggles with little kisses.
“Hmph, now are you satisfied?” Stern once again you see.
“Yes yes, much appreciated, Kalego.”
“Kalego! You gotta try this!” Hm? Oh! It’s Shichiro. “I bumped into Opera-senpai and Sullivan-sama and we got a great deal o- Oh! Y/n! You’re here too! And is that Iruma?”
“Yes, look how cute he looks in his new clothes!”
“Adorable~! You’re looking good as well! That hair cut suits you!” It’s promptly ruffled by a large, gentle, hand.
“Thank youuu, Shichiro. Did you come out with Kalego?”
“Well, I was just out and about when we happened to come to the same shop and opted to spend the rest of the time catching up.”
“And speaking of catching up,” says Kalego. “I’ll catch up to you later Shichiro, I need to go before that fiend comes by-”
“Oh? Is that my dear Kouhai?”
“Hng!”
~~~
Kalego could not catch a break. He just wanted to go home and enjoy the wine he just bought, instead - and while he enjoys his colleague’s company - he’s now in a sticky situation, named Opera.
Opera was a menace. 
But you... 
If it weren’t for that veil he might’ve assumed that you had never changed, humble, willfully, fearfully, strong.
But the eyes that stared back at him just two weeks ago don’t lie, rather, they say too much.
You’re back now, yes, but for what reason? A whim? It sounded like a whim. Going off the rails could’ve been a whim, though you might insist that it wasn’t. 
Course, the child in your arms suggested some truth to that.
‘Who was the father?’ he quickly shut that down. It wasn’t any of his business after all... but how could you fall into such a situation? who was the scumbag to sire this child and leave you alone with him? Another ‘Returned’?
And ‘Iruma’, small, blue, soft, ‘Iruma’, how would you raise this boy? Would he turn out like you? Strong? Insecure?
‘Lovely?’
Tsk, he was having a lot of useless intrusive thoughts today... The wine by his side would be a surefire remedy for such.
Yet, despite the scornful thoughts in his head, his heart felt something... odd shift watching you interact with your son.
A similar odd from when you went to school together.
~~~
Shichiro observed his colleague get lost in thought, a strange occurrence but yes, even the great guard dog of Babyls could get distracted. It’s something he tries to do when being talked at by a certain senpai but had never succeeded at before.
Not that he blames him, he knew that Kalego missed you too. Your absence had a strange effect on everyone, especially as you succumbed to your evil phase and went off grid. 
It was almost evident that demon society at the time, when the strong ran rampant through the halls and the weak cowered or ran away, was to blame for your transformation.
Given that you decided to take in such a squishy child as your son, it only made sense for your return, and your hope, that things were different. 
‘But thank the demon king that you were back.’ He smiled behind his mask as he reached out and began to stroke your locks, the familiar, and unfamiliar, texture soothing him with a moment of peace from his thoughts. 
‘I missed you just as much.’
You were strong, humble, wild and so full of life; it caused his heart to swell and his eyes to grow wide in wonder each and every time you shattered the expectations set for you. Even in Babyls, even returning now. 
~~~
(Sorry i went a little off grid myself there. and Thank you for reading this far! I hope you enjoy the next part! that is, right after I write the Next chapter for The Alef!
Hope you have a good one!)

How Custom Business Signs Can Transform Storefronts in Chicago Neighborhoods
Tumblr media
In bustling Chicago, a city known for its rich architectural history, diverse culture, and vibrant neighborhoods, small businesses often find themselves competing for the attention of potential customers. Amidst the bright lights of downtown, the charm of historic districts, and the energy of local communities, one effective way for business owners to stand out is by investing in custom business signs.
Custom signs are not just a necessity for visibility; they are a powerful tool for brand identity, customer engagement, and enhancing the overall aesthetic of a storefront. In Chicago, where neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and the Loop are home to a vast array of businesses, the role of custom business signs in transforming storefronts cannot be overstated. Let's explore how these signs can positively impact businesses in Chicago's dynamic urban landscape.
1. Boosting Visibility and Attracting Foot Traffic
First and foremost, custom business signs are designed to help businesses attract attention. Chicago is a city where competition is fierce, especially in high-traffic areas like Michigan Avenue, State Street, or around Millennium Park. A distinctive, eye-catching sign can make all the difference when it comes to standing out in a crowded marketplace.
Whether a business is located in a busy commercial district or a quieter, more residential area, a custom sign can ensure that it’s visible to potential customers. Custom signs, whether they are bold, brightly lit LED displays or elegant and subtle handcrafted wooden signs, can make a business’s storefront instantly recognizable.
In neighborhoods like Logan Square or Pilsen, where artisanal businesses thrive, custom signage that reflects the aesthetic and vibe of the neighborhood can help businesses draw in both locals and tourists alike. For example, a restaurant’s neon sign might invoke a nostalgic vibe, while a trendy boutique in Wicker Park might opt for a sleek, modern sign to match its chic vibe.
2. Enhancing Brand Identity and Consistency
In Chicago's diverse neighborhoods, businesses are not just selling products or services—they are offering an experience. Custom business signs help to reinforce a brand's identity by reflecting its values, tone, and personality. A well-designed sign conveys a message that goes beyond just the business name. It tells a story and communicates the essence of the brand, which is essential for creating a lasting impression on customers.
For example, a coffee shop in the heart of the South Loop might choose a vintage-style sign that evokes warmth and comfort, aligning with its rustic interior design. In contrast, a tech startup located in the River North area might opt for a sleek, minimalist sign that conveys innovation and professionalism. By aligning the sign with the brand's overall identity, businesses can ensure that customers know exactly what to expect when they walk through the door.
Custom business signs also help maintain consistency across different marketing platforms, both online and offline. A sign that mirrors the logo, color scheme, and font used on a business’s website or social media profiles creates a cohesive brand experience. This uniformity builds trust with customers and reinforces brand recognition in the neighborhood.
3. Creating a Memorable First Impression
As with all businesses, first impressions are critical. In Chicago's competitive retail landscape, where new businesses are popping up regularly, having a striking custom business sign can make or break a customer’s decision to stop and explore a store. A business that invests in its sign demonstrates that it values its storefront and cares about its customers’ experiences.
A custom sign can convey quality and professionalism, which are essential to gaining customer trust. Whether a sign is made from high-quality materials like acrylic or stainless steel, or features creative touches such as custom lettering or intricate designs, it speaks volumes about the business's attention to detail and commitment to its craft.
In the neighborhoods of Chicago, where art and creativity are highly valued, businesses that incorporate artistic and unique elements into their signage can make a memorable first impression. For example, in the artsy neighborhood of Andersonville, custom signs that reflect a business’s creative vision can attract customers who appreciate the artistry and thought put into the design.
4. Improving Curb Appeal and Aesthetic Value
Custom business signs do more than just serve a functional purpose—they can transform the entire appearance of a storefront, adding to the overall curb appeal. In neighborhoods like Old Town or the Gold Coast, where the architectural style varies from historic buildings to modern constructions, a well-designed custom sign can enhance the overall aesthetic of the storefront and even complement the surrounding architecture.
A sign that fits well with the architectural style of the building can elevate the overall look of the business. For example, a custom-crafted wooden sign with vintage lettering may enhance the charm of a boutique located in a historic building, while a high-tech, illuminated sign would be more suited for a modern retail space in the Loop.
In a city like Chicago, where residents take pride in the character and history of their neighborhoods, a custom business sign has the potential to enhance the beauty of the area while adding a unique touch to the street. A beautiful sign doesn’t just benefit the business; it contributes to the vibrancy of the neighborhood, making the area more visually appealing and inviting.
5. Driving Sales Through Effective Signage
The ultimate goal of custom business signs is to drive sales. A great custom sign does more than just attract attention—it converts that attention into business. Well-designed signage acts as an effective marketing tool that can help increase foot traffic and sales. A sign that clearly displays the business name, location, and services, as well as highlights any special offers or promotions, can motivate potential customers to walk in and make a purchase.
In Chicago, where seasonal changes can impact customer behavior, having a custom sign that incorporates elements like seasonal promotions or limited-time offers can boost business. For example, a holiday-themed sign in the winter months or a promotional sign during summer festivals can create excitement and encourage customers to visit the store.
Additionally, signs that highlight a business’s unique selling proposition (USP)—whether it’s offering organic products, local services, or exclusive items—can help convert window shoppers into paying customers.
6. Boosting Local SEO and Online Presence
In today’s digital age, businesses in Chicago’s neighborhoods can also use custom business signs to enhance their online presence. Custom signs that are easy to photograph and share on social media can create buzz and encourage customers to tag the business in their posts. This word-of-mouth advertising, combined with strong visual branding, can boost a business’s visibility both offline and online.
Additionally, having a distinctive custom business sign that prominently displays the business name and location makes it easier for customers to find the business online. This is especially important for businesses that rely on local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to attract foot traffic. A memorable and clearly visible sign can help with online searches for the business’s name and location, thus driving more people to visit the store.
7. Reflecting the Spirit of the Neighborhood
Chicago’s neighborhoods are known for their diverse communities and unique identities, and custom business signs can be designed to reflect the spirit of these areas. Whether it’s the bohemian vibe of the Humboldt Park area, the upscale feel of the Magnificent Mile, or the multicultural atmosphere of Albany Park, custom signs can be crafted to complement the culture and values of the neighborhood.
When businesses embrace the unique character of their neighborhood through their signage, they can connect with local customers on a deeper level. A custom business sign that aligns with the cultural and artistic influences of a particular area can resonate with both locals and visitors, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Conclusion
In a city as vibrant and diverse as Chicago, custom business signs are more than just functional—they are an integral part of a business’s identity and success. From enhancing visibility and attracting foot traffic to improving curb appeal and driving sales, custom signage offers countless benefits to business owners across the city’s many neighborhoods. By choosing a sign that reflects their brand’s personality, enhances the neighborhood’s aesthetic, and resonates with customers, businesses in Chicago can transform their storefronts into iconic landmarks that capture attention and make a lasting impression.
In Chicago’s ever-evolving retail environment, a custom business sign is not just a necessity—it’s a powerful marketing tool that can help businesses thrive and grow for years to come.

Illuminated signs are business signs that emit light, making them visible around the clock. They come in many styles, including channel letters, lightbox signs, and neon signs. For businesses in McAllen’s lively commercial environment, illuminated signs are an essential tool to stand out and capture attention.
By lighting up your logo or business name, you ensure that customers notice you whether they’re driving past in the evening or strolling through the city at night. Illuminated signs offer more than visibility—they communicate professionalism and reliability to potential customers.

Types of Illuminated Signs in McAllen
Channel Letter Signs
Channel letter signs are three-dimensional and internally lit, making them bold and readable. They’re ideal for storefronts and can be customized in various styles like front-lit, back-lit, or combination-lit to suit your brand.

Illuminated Signage in Vishrantwadi–Alandi Road, Pune
Signage has always played a pivotal role in the way businesses communicate with the world around them. Whether it’s a small corner shop or a multinational corporation, signage acts as the silent ambassador of a brand. In the modern marketing landscape—where competing for customer attention is a non-stop endeavor—the quality and visibility of your signage can make or break first impressions. This is especially true in rapidly expanding urban and semi-urban areas like Pune. Among Pune’s vibrant and fast-growing neighborhoods, Vishrantwadi–Alandi Road stands out as a hub of commercial activities, bustling streets, and diverse consumer bases. In this context, illuminated signage has emerged as a powerful tool to enhance brand visibility and create lasting impressions.
At Unique LED Sign Board, we understand the challenges local business owners face in trying to stand out in an ever-expanding marketplace. Our mission is to offer quality, creative, and cost-effective illuminated signage solutions that reflect the individual character of each business while maximizing their public presence. In this article, we dive deep into the importance of illuminated signage in Vishrantwadi–Alandi Road, its significance for local businesses, and how our services at Unique LED Sign Board can help your brand shine brighter than ever before.
1. The Growing Importance of Illumination
In the bustling streets of Vishrantwadi–Alandi Road, competition among commercial establishments is fierce. Simply having a sign that hangs above your storefront is not enough; it must capture attention and convey professionalism. A well-designed illuminated sign:
Enhances Visibility Day and Night Most businesses aim to attract passersby at all hours. With an illuminated sign, you can ensure that potential customers notice your brand even after sundown. Illuminated signage makes your brand recognizable from a distance and helps create a memorable impression in the minds of onlookers.
Conveys Quality and Professionalism High-quality lighting systems reflect the credibility and commitment of your business. Whether you run a café, a clothing boutique, or a corporate office, an illuminated sign with a refined design will speak volumes about the care and thought you put into presenting your brand.
Differentiates Your Business from Competitors Since illuminated signs are more visually striking than their non-illuminated counterparts, they provide a competitive edge. A unique design with vibrant LED lights can help your storefront be easily distinguished from surrounding businesses.
2. The Local Landscape: Vishrantwadi–Alandi Road, Pune
Vishrantwadi–Alandi Road has transformed from a quaint suburb to a flourishing commercial hub. With new businesses cropping up every day—ranging from restaurants and cafés to retail stores and service offices—the area has become a magnet for both aspiring entrepreneurs and established companies looking to expand.
Diverse Consumer Base A diverse population means a wide variety of demands. This calls for signage solutions that cater to different customer segments. For instance, a signage solution for a local bakery may incorporate warm, inviting tones and playful fonts, whereas a corporate office may require a sleek, professional design with crisp lighting.
Rapid Commercial Growth Commercial real estate has been booming along Vishrantwadi–Alandi Road, resulting in increased footfall and motor traffic. This surge of activity presents an excellent opportunity for businesses to invest in eye-catching illuminated signage to draw in new clientele.
Cultural Nuances Pune, as a city, retains strong cultural roots while embracing modern innovations. Signage that reflects local aesthetics—through choice of colors, typography, or even language—can resonate more deeply with the local audience while still appealing to non-local visitors.

State-of-the-Art LED Technology LEDs have revolutionized the signage industry. They are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and produce vibrant lighting. By using high-quality LED modules and components, we guarantee that your sign remains bright and clear for years to come, requiring minimal maintenance and lowering operational costs.
Material Quality and Durability Durability in signage is essential, especially in a city like Pune where signs may be exposed to monsoon rains, dust, and various temperature extremes. At Unique LED Sign Board, we use high-grade materials—like weather-resistant acrylics, corrosion-proof metals, and durable PVC substrates—to ensure your sign maintains its luster over time.
Precision Fabrication and Installation Cutting-edge fabrication technology allows us to create crisp edges, precise designs, and professional finishes.

5. Positive Word-of-Mouth A captivating illuminated sign often becomes a local talking point. Satisfied customers and impressed passersby are more likely to recommend your business to friends and colleagues.
