#xero scenario

[starheirxero]

I just got an image in my head-

What if Gemini pulls their cape off their shoulders and puts it around Lunar's? What if they give him a forhead kiss, and disappear without explanation-

I am going insane about them I'm sorry-

YOU SENT THIS LITERALLY IN FEBRUARY BUT I'M GETTING TO IT NOW TO TELL U THAT'S THE CUTEST THING EVER AOAUAGHH

I can just imagine 1) how insanely flustered Lunar would be after it and 2) how much bigger Gemini's cape would be oh them..... I wanted to draw all of this but I only got this so here's a doodle for this adorable ass idea 👍

[ashcoveredtraveler]

So I have an idea, I don't know if I will use it, but I am certainly going to play around with the idea.

What if Lurien and Xero are related?

In my stories, I base Lurien's design on a Scarlet Tiger Moth while I base Xero's design on a Madagascan Sunset Moth and baldfaced hornet, but that side of his heritage isn't as prominent. Anyway, I was looking at both moths and thought they looked similar enough with the majority of their bodies being black with spots of colors on their wings that they could be related. It would certainly be an interesting dynamic.

So timeline wise how would this work?

[TW: violence, character deaths(by murder and childbirth)]

I always imagined Lurien to be way older than many others in Hallownest as he is an important figure and the Pale King would like to keep him as long as possible so he placed spells to make him age way slower. I have also been playing with the idea that moths have a longer lifespan than many other bugs. So, a moth could physiology and mentally be in its yearly adulthood, while many bugs could be halfway through it. I am making this point to create an understanding of where everyone is in life.

So Lurien's grandparents would be Xero's great-grandparents. The family already had fertility issues, so it was a surprise when Lurien came to his parents as early as he did. Lurien was the only grandkid/kid/nephew of the family for a long while until he was almost around adulthood when his aunt and uncle had their daughter. This child would eventually become Xero's mom.

Lurien was ecstatic with this new family member and offered to help with babysitting as fertility issues weren't the only health issue they had, and still had to work. At the time, Lurien was currently working and slowly getting his education. The aunt and uncle see this and pay Lurien, but not as much as if he were to work normally. That didn't matter as the child was a bright light in his life. (I don't have a name for Xero's mom yet, so I'll just refer to her as Xero's mom or the child or Lurien's cousin)

Lurien was basically a third parent to this child, feeding her, helping her with her homework, and taking her to outings. He watched her grow up and even got close to some of her friends, taking care of them when they visited him(the most noticeable friend being the Seer).

As the years went on, Lurien got further into his education and everything seemed well.

One night changed that.

Lurien was at home along with his parents when intruders broke into his home. These intruders have been staking Lurien, unhappy with his successes. They intended to hurt him and take away those he loves. During this attack, they killed his parents and cut off his wings. Before even more could be done, the Seer intervened, attacking the intruders. She was able to get damaged before she was overpowered, but before any serious injuries came to her, Lurien's cousin came in and helped defend her cousin and friend. As soon as the intruders realized more bugs were getting involved, they escaped, never facing justice.

The experience was degrading, but the aftermath of the event was even more so. Wings are everything in moth culture, and if you don't have wings or broken wings, then you have no value.

He only stayed in the Resting Grounds for a week more until he made a decision he would regret for the rest of his life and leave the life he has known behind. Not even contacting anyone about his departure. Not even his cousin.

Lurien changed his name to what it is now and purchased many clothes and masks that hid his identity as a moth and almost started anew. At this point, his knowledge surpassed the education he was receiving and decided to take a placement test to get him further along and actually receive a position at one of the government buildings in the city.

Lurien was efficient in his job and got a promotion after his promotion. He was one of the few government officials who didn't care about profits for himself but cared about the citizens of Hallownest even if they didn't like what he is.

It wasn't until many years later that he became Watcher of the City.

At this point, he became brave enough to try to contact his cousin. That is how he found out that she died mere weeks before.

Heartbroken, Lurien searched up all he could about his cousin. He found out that her parents died and inherited their house, that she got a job as a dancer-she always had the prettiest wings, she got married, then died of childbirth.

Lurien looked deeper, looked into her husband- a wasp, and found him living in her house with a nymph who survived. This nymph is of course Xero.

It then became an obsession, checking in on the family, checking in on the last of his bloodline, but never visiting him.

This would go on for years, looking from afar, getting information as much as he could.

If you guys read my backstory for Xero[Here is the link which also has every Dream Warrior backstory] he eventually got betrayed and attacked by many bugs, getting burned alive and almost dying. He lost part of his wings and was shunned just like Lurien. Despite knowing that his cousin was in much pain, Lurien didn't reach out.

Now that this is the point where the timeline can deviate between what happens in AU's.

In the timeline where Xero gets infected by the Radiance and attempts to assassinate the King killed, Lurien is devastated. He blames himself. He knows he is cowered and should have supported his cousin as those who are vulnerable and emotional are more likely to get infected. He keeps this guilt, sealed away with it when the Vessel plan is set into motion.

If I were to incorporate this idea for my other AU's/fics Lurien just keep it a secret and would not reveal it to anyone. His only problem would be the Seer. She has met him on multiple occasions and if she were to listen to his voice for a long time she would surely know it would be her friends cousin.

After writing down this idea, I think this is a nice idea to play around with. I don't know how much I would actually get to use it as there is already so much going on in my stories.

OC ASKS: Your OCs are in a room and suddenly lights are turned off. Who are they reaching for first? Will they reach to hold someone at all?

OOH THIS IS A CUTE ONE THANK YOU!! Answering for the characters on my Toyhou.se, but feel free to follow up with any specific characters you might remember from my past blogs if I didn’t mention them :D

In most cases the characters would just reach for whoever is closest to them rather than anyone specific (since I use them across various settings and their interactions change from AU to AU), under the pretense they’re familiar with their company. This is kinda long also, so I’m putting it under a read-more o7

OCs who are more likely to reach for someone than not:

Eve, using it as an excuse to grope the nearest well-built man (often Velo since they work together)

Rex, also using it as an excuse to grope the nearest cute and petite girl 🤦 I think he would get reached for by his FWB (later boyfriend), Kais, though

Dimitri, who’s equal parts protective over whoever is with him due to a strong sense of responsibility and wanting to make sure they don’t fuck anything in the room up; Minkyu comes to mind, though Xero is an exception since he trusts them to take care of themself and stay out of the way

Reis… but with malicious intent :((( He is absolutely using the blackout as an opening to infect someone near him with an otherworldly pathogen/parasite :(((

Tarou, with similar reasoning as Dimitri, but he’d also make sure to grab Reis so he does NOT give hapless people the Alien chestburster experience

Luca, mostly just being silly and dramatically pretending to be scared, though if it’s a more perilous scenario he’d reach for someone to ground himself, not wanting to be alone

Navid, not wanting to be separated from his friends

OCs who are less likely to reach for someone:

Kee, who doesn’t want to burden others so she’s more likely to just curl in on herself—though if it’s a dire situation and she thinks she can help keep the other party from harm, she might make an exception

Velo, since he usually does NOT gaf about the people around him—they can take care of themselves!—but he would make an exception for people/creatures that are so pathetic/defenseless he’d feel guilty about leaving them in the lurch (such as Haruki)

Junta, since I imagine this scenario with him would be a silly one more often than not; he wouldn’t be concerned about the blackout, though he might sneak up and scare his friends

Verrine is probably just turning the lights off herself to wish one of her sons (or “playthings”) goodnight… It’s hard to imagine her being caught off-guard; if the blackout is malicious she probably expects it and is either alone or with protection 🤔

Cherry would rather go for a weapon than grasp for a friend, though against his survival instinct he would feel more comforted holding onto someone (particularly Ram’s OC Harris, whom he has an unspoken crush on)

V. Aster (who people are probably more familiar with under the name “Vivie” aha) is another character who’s indifferent to the safety of those around them—reaching for someone or being clung to would just hinder their mobility; they can see in the dark and they’re going to be productive about it

OCs who don’t reach for anyone, but get reached for:

Xero can see in the dark (and beyond that is an otherworldly entity), so they wouldn’t be bothered even if the blackout is a precursor to danger; by default, their eyes glow like embers, so they’d be a visible beacon for nearby company to cling onto for protection (especially Minkyu…)

Ein is a renegade bioweapon with lowlight vision—he’d be kind of excited for danger to spring out and have a toussle! But otherwise he’s being reached for by a cautious Lavender (his mostly-human roommate who sometimes is sucked into his and Acheron’s nonsense)

Lillie would reach for a weapon and get reached for by her gooner roach of a NOT-boyfriend, Oswald (erectroswing’s OC), much to her chagrin cuz she KNOWS his ass is not scared and he’s just using it as an excuse to wrap around her and scream and squeal

Jet would just stand there in confusion (bro has the survival instinct of a middle-aged corporate worker who wants to kill himself, cuz he is LMAO), but Zeta would take the opportunity to grope grab him for fruity reasons

Anyway, thank you so much for sending this in—OC asks genuinely make my whole day ;w; <3 !!!

hornet + holly + wl in the weregrimm au? bonus: werewolf form pk perhaps???

Hornet and Holly are part of it! They don't live with Vyrm and Grimm, since they stayed back in Hallownest. They even have unique outfits just for this AU, which kinda show that they don't have a rich celebrity father figure who'd buy them fancy outfits in this timeline haha

Here's the post with their designs and a link to a detailed summary, I think it's worth a read if you're interested in what they're like there, there's some good stuff for both of them.

As for the White Lady, she's more or less the same in the Weregrimm AU as in the main one. Her relationship with Vyrm progressed in pretty much the same way, though I'd love to explore possible differences resulting from the fact it was Vyrm who visited Grimm, not vice versa like in the main timeline. But other than that, her role post-infection is basically the same.

And I did actually consider Vyrm to be the werewolf in this AU, but I thought the idea with Grimm's "werewolf" curse being a result of him merging his forms was too good to not explore. Not to say there was no potential in Vyrm being the one, he did have the fear of hurting others due to his instincts for most of his life, not to mention the Xero incident, both of which could be explored further. But he also already has a "wilder" side whenever he goes out hunting; Grimm, meanwhile, is such a confident, elegant and composed individual in the main AU, that throwing him into this werewolf scenario offered a very interesting outlook on how he'd behave if those traits were taken from him.

Essential Steps to Future-proof Your Business Finances

Future-proofing your business finances means setting up strong, flexible systems that help you weather economic shifts, scale with confidence, and make smart decisions. Here's a practical, no-fluff guide to the essential steps you need to take:

Essential Steps to Future-Proof Your Business Finances

1. Build a Solid Financial Foundation

Use cloud-based accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero) to keep real-time books.

Automate daily transactions (bank feeds, invoicing, payroll).

Create monthly financial statements: P&L, cash flow, balance sheet.

Why it matters: You can’t improve what you don’t measure.

2. Create Cash Flow Forecasts (and Update Them)

Forecast income, expenses, and runway for 6–12 months.

Run “what-if” scenarios: What happens if revenue drops 20%? Or if you hire an accountant for business?

Use tools like LivePlan, Finmark, or Jirav for easier modeling.

Why it matters: Cash is king — and forecasting helps you avoid surprise shortages.

3. Build an Emergency Fund

Aim for 3–6 months of operating expenses in reserves.

Keep it liquid, but separate from your main account to avoid casual use.

Why it matters: A buffer keeps you from panicking (or borrowing) in a crisis.

4. Streamline and Automate Financial Tasks

Automate payroll (Gusto), AP/AR (Bill.com, Melio), tax reminders (TaxJar).

Set up recurring invoices and payment reminders.

Outsource bookkeeping or use managed services like Bench or Pilot.

Why it matters: Saves time, reduces error, and keeps your books clean year-round.

5. Engage a Fractional CFO or Financial Advisor

You don’t need a full-time CFO to get strategic help.

Use platforms like Paro, Toptal, or CFOShare to find on-demand financial experts.

Why it matters: Strategic financial advice is crucial during growth, funding, or pivots.

6. Regularly Review KPIs and Business Metrics

Track your burn rate, gross margin, customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV).

Set benchmarks and review monthly or quarterly.

Why it matters: Helps you make better, faster decisions — and spot issues early.

7. Stay Compliant and Tax-Ready

Use tools like Avalara, Taxfyle, or Collective to stay on top of tax filings.

Keep personal and business finances separate (get that business bank account).

Stay ahead of sales tax nexus and state-specific rules.

Why it matters: Avoid fines and penalties that can eat into your bottom line.

8. Plan for Scalable Growth

Use clean, accurate financials to impress investors or lenders.

Align your financial strategy with your long-term goals: expansion, new markets, hiring.

Build systems that grow with you — not ones you'll outgrow in 6 months.

Why it matters: You’re not just surviving — you’re building to scale.

Final Thought:

Future-proofing is proactive finance — not reactive fixing. Whether you're running lean or scaling fast, the best time to set your business up for long-term resilience is now.

If you're juggling too many apps and still struggling to keep things streamlined, you're not alone. SaaS apps are lifesavers, but if they're not talking to each other, they're just more hassle. The solution? SaaS integration platforms. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, step by step.

What Exactly is a SaaS Integration Platform?

A SaaS integration platform lets your cloud-based apps share data effortlessly. Think of it as the glue holding your apps together, ensuring smooth, automatic communication without any manual hassle.

Why Do You Need SaaS Integrations?

Let's keep it simple. Without integrations:

You manually enter data repeatedly.

Errors pile up quickly.

Processes slow down.

Your team becomes frustrated.

With integrations, apps sync automatically, workflows are smooth, and life becomes much easier.

Key Benefits of Using SaaS Integration Platforms

Here’s how integration platforms change your business:

Saves You Time

By automating repetitive tasks, integration platforms let your team focus on bigger things—like growing your business.

Keeps Data Clean

No more duplicates or inconsistencies. Data flows smoothly between platforms, always staying accurate and updated.

Boosts Productivity

With fewer manual tasks, productivity skyrockets. Your team is happier and more efficient.

Cost-Effective

Cutting down manual tasks reduces labor costs. Your budget, thank you.

Different Types of SaaS Integrations

Let’s look at three common integration types:

App-to-App Integration

Connecting two apps directly for instance, linking Salesforce to Slack, so your sales team instantly gets notifications about new leads.

Data Integration

Synchronizes data between platforms. Imagine your CRM data always matching your marketing database—no effort required.

Workflow Automation

Automates complete business processes. A customer fills a form, triggering automatic actions like CRM updates, email campaigns, and billing.

Common Use Cases for SaaS Integration

Here are the scenarios businesses most often use integrations for:

CRM Integration: Connect Salesforce or HubSpot with email marketing apps for automatic follow-ups.

Billing Automation: Automatically link Stripe with accounting apps like QuickBooks or Xero.

Customer Support: Sync Zendesk with your CRM to track customer interactions seamlessly.

How SaaS Integration Platforms Actually Work

APIs

APIs let software communicate. SaaS platforms use APIs to send and receive data automatically.

Triggers and Actions

Something happens in one app (trigger), prompting another app to respond automatically (action).

Middleware

Middleware translates information between apps, ensuring smooth communication even when apps aren’t designed to work together.

Top SaaS Integration Platforms in 2025

Choosing the Best SaaS Integration Platform

When picking a platform, ask yourself these questions:

Ease of use: Can non-tech folks use it?

Scalability: Will it grow with your business?

Security: Does it meet standards like GDPR or HIPAA?

Cost: Does it fit your budget?

Steps to Implement SaaS Integrations

Ready to get started? Follow these easy steps:

Identify Your Needs: List your apps and figure out what you want to automate.

Choose Your Platform: Pick the integration tool that fits your needs.

Configure the Integration: Set up triggers and actions clearly.

How to Measure the Success of Integrations

Look at these metrics:

Reduction in manual workload

Data accuracy improvements

Productivity boosts

Decreased error rates

Using analytics tools (like Google Analytics) helps you track these changes clearly.

The Future of SaaS Integrations

Mastering Budgeting and Forecasting for Medium-Sized Businesses in the UK, USA, and Australia

In today’s fast-paced business environment, medium-sized businesses must anticipate challenges and opportunities. However, budgeting and forecasting can often feel like an overwhelming process, with fluctuating market conditions and uncertain economic trends complicating financial planning. Many businesses struggle to maintain accurate budgets, causing cash flow issues and missed growth opportunities.

This article provides practical, research-based strategies to improve budgeting and forecasting processes, helping businesses make better financial decisions, minimize risks, and drive sustainable growth.

Why Budgeting and Forecasting Are Critical for Medium-Sized Businesses

Effective budgeting and forecasting are essential to managing financial performance. Without these tools, businesses risk overspending, poor cash management, and missed opportunities for expansion.

1. Budgeting provides a structured financial framework by setting expected revenue and expenses over a specified period.

2. Forecasting allows businesses to predict their future financial performance based on historical data and market trends.

A report by PwC highlights that companies with strong budgeting and forecasting practices are 30% more likely to meet long-term financial goals. When businesses align budgeting with forecasting, they gain visibility into cash flow and can adjust strategies to stay competitive during economic changes.

Key Challenges in Budgeting and Forecasting

Medium-sized businesses often face unique obstacles:

• Limited Resources: Unlike larger corporations, medium-sized firms often have smaller finance teams, limiting their ability to build complex financial models.

• Market Uncertainty: Economic changes such as interest rate hikes or supply chain disruptions make it difficult to predict future financial performance accurately.

• Technological Gaps: Many businesses still rely on outdated tools like spreadsheets, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies.

Practical Strategies to Improve Budgeting and Forecasting

1. Adopt Technology-Driven Solutions

Implementing cloud-based financial tools such as QuickBooks, Xero, or Odoo ERP can streamline the budgeting and forecasting process. These platforms offer:

• Real-time financial data for up-to-date decision-making

• Automated reporting to reduce manual errors

• Scenario analysis features to forecast multiple business outcomes

A McKinsey report emphasizes that businesses using automated tools experience a 20-25% improvement in financial forecasting accuracy.

2. Integrate Rolling Forecasts

Instead of relying solely on annual budgets, businesses should adopt rolling forecasts to stay agile. A rolling forecast is updated regularly—typically every quarter—based on real-time performance data. This approach enables businesses to:

• Adjust spending as market conditions change

• Identify potential shortfalls early

• Better allocate resources to high-growth areas

Rolling forecasts provide a competitive edge, especially during uncertain economic times, by ensuring that financial plans remain relevant throughout the year.

3. Use Historical Data to Drive Forecast Accuracy

Leveraging historical financial data improves the accuracy of forecasts. Medium-sized businesses should analyze previous income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports to spot trends. This approach helps predict future revenues, seasonal fluctuations, and cash needs more accurately.

Companies that build forecasts based on historical data are better equipped to handle unexpected shifts in revenue streams, ensuring their financial planning is resilient.

4. Align Forecasts with Business Objectives

Successful forecasting is not just about numbers—it involves aligning forecasts with strategic business goals. This can include:

• Expansion into new markets

• Launching new product lines

• Improving profitability through cost-cutting initiatives

By tying financial forecasts to business objectives, companies ensure that financial planning supports long-term growth strategies. This alignment also enhances the visibility of potential risks and rewards.

5. Collaborate Across Departments

Budgeting and forecasting should not be confined to the finance team. Collaboration between departments—such as operations, sales, and marketing—provides a more comprehensive view of business performance.

For instance, sales forecasts can influence budgeting decisions around staffing and inventory, while marketing teams can adjust campaigns based on budget constraints. According to Deloitte, companies that foster cross-departmental collaboration achieve more accurate budgets and forecasts by up to 18%.

Benefits of Accurate Budgeting and Forecasting

Medium-sized businesses that invest in effective budgeting and forecasting practices can expect several advantages:

• Improved Cash Flow Management: By anticipating expenses and revenue fluctuations, businesses can avoid cash shortages and maintain operations smoothly.

• Informed Decision-Making: Data-driven insights enable business owners to make strategic decisions confidently.

• Stronger Stakeholder Confidence: Transparent financial planning enhances trust among investors, lenders, and employees.

• Risk Mitigation: Forecasts allow businesses to proactively address financial risks and adapt to changing market conditions.

Tools and Resources for Medium-Sized Businesses

To ensure success, businesses should explore tools and frameworks designed specifically for financial planning:

• QuickBooks Online: Ideal for budgeting and expense tracking

• Xero: Suitable for multi-currency budgeting for international operations

• Odoo ERP: Provides advanced forecasting and reporting features

Additionally, businesses can access external resources such as government grants, industry benchmarks, and online courses to stay updated on best practices in budgeting and forecasting.

Conclusion:

In today’s competitive markets, mastering budgeting and forecasting is critical for the sustainable growth of medium-sized businesses. By adopting technology-driven solutions, leveraging historical data, and aligning financial forecasts with strategic goals, businesses can improve financial management and remain resilient during economic fluctuations.

If you’re ready to elevate your business’s financial planning, consult with experts who can tailor solutions to your needs. At Sami and Co, we specialize in budgeting, forecasting, and financial advisory services that empower businesses to achieve long-term growth.

I’ve been away for a few days and was just catching up with what I missed on this page, and I need confirmation that I read what you wrote correctly and I’m not crazy.

PK almost ate Xero?!

hi, welcome back hahaha

well, he did eat some of him, and he's not proud of it, even though he did not do it intentionally

the way i imagine it happened, was that pk and hornet were approached by xero while they were away from the palace. he challenged pk to a duel, and when pk told him to stand down, he attacked. with the radiance's influence, he was a difficult opponent even for pk (especially as pk at that point, pk was alreasy physically weak due to the lack of proper nutrition), and on top of that, pk was not only trying to defend himself, but also keep hornet away from the line of fire, so he was already at a disadvantage. unfortunately, his daughter was more feisty than he thought, and tried to help her dad by grabbing xero's cloak and attempting to distract him. that didn't end well, as she was quickly kicked away like a little spider ball. right as xero was about to land a killing blow on her, pk felt himself blacking out, and without thinking pounced on him. he doesn't remember anything, except the sight of xero's mangled, half eaten corpse that he was greeted by once he regained control. he quickly ran to scared hornet, grabbed her and returned to the palace, covered in the blood of xero and his own, trying not to think of what just happened

that whole incident left him shaken for a good while, as he was already worried about his instincts and losing control. yes, he was acting in self defense and to protect hornet, but he didn't just kill him. at that point he already avoided eating actual food but this made him even more paranoid, and is the main reason for why he is extremely careful not to hurt any sapient beings now that he's 'feral', on top of having nightmares of losing control and harming his loved ones. granted, nothing like this happened to him since, as it was an incredibly specific scenario which would be difficult to repeat now, but he's still worried. always so worried
