Do you have any suggestions for two vigilante/heroes teaming up; casual enemies, to friends, to lovers?

This is the best kind of pipeline; the gradual step up from enemies to lovers is just <chef’s kiss>. To match the prompt with the ideation, both Admin M and Assistant Admin Kasi will be posting some ideas for you! Enjoy~

Admin M:

Working for Character A is ASS. Their sidekick, Character C, really gets the brunt of the shit-work, especially after they team up with their hero partner, Character B. Just when Character C thought it couldn’t get any worse, they wake up to find themselves having been kidnapped by Character A & B’s arch nemesis along with Character D, Character B’s sidekick. Bored with their situation (and trying to not hate each other even more than they already did), Characters C & D hang out and talk while they wait to be rescued. They soon discover they have incredibly complimentary powers, hopes, and dreams. Who the hell needs heroes when two sidekicks can totally overpower them, right? They vow to team up (hesitantly). This psuedo-partnership slowly moves from hate, to appreciation, to acquaintances, then to hate-flirting. This energy comes to a peak one night after they’re recovering from a failed mission where they tried to take revenge on their kidnapper villain on their own. Blame leads to a fiery argument and then an even more fiery night.

Character A is a vigilante hero has always been the protector of their section of the city; for 15 years, no one dared to cross their territory (unless they were a special kind of stupid). This is only solidified after another vigilante (Character B) moves to town to support their partner’s new career. Guess what? They still need to do hero stuff, and it’s not like they can commute an hour away (not if they wanted to be back in time to get dinner on the table), so why not just have two heroes in the same section? What’s the harm?

The phrase “this town ain’t big enough for the two of us” was practically invented just for these two. Characters A and B are cowboys who run rivaling ‘gangs for good’ in their small western town. These two groups would act as protectors, shooing away snakes, wrangling cattle, and making sure the town was safe from robbers. The two groups, however, kept showing up to the same incidents, and 16 burly cowboys in one house helping an older lady who fell is just RIDICULOUS. It may be time to end this feud, once and for all.

Being a hacker is hard work. Okay, wait, let me rephrase: being an ethical hacker is hard work. Character A is hired regularly as a security consultant for large corporations. Basically, they attempt to simulate a hacking attack on their client’s system, then point out potential holes in their defense and make recommendations. It’s interesting work that pays well, so Character A can’t complain too much, but their job is made just that much more difficult when they’re helping a Meat Packing company against a cyber attack. Who the HELL knew that vegan hackers were this GOOD?! Who even is this person?!?!!?

For the entirety of their existence, Characters A & B have been in a tense symbiotic relationship which has only been exacerbated by their, well, overall hate for the other. It wasn’t enough that they wanted to “throw hands” or anything, but it was enough that they wanted to mess with one another. Character B would cause Character A’s seas to rise on a certain rhythm, and Character A would huff before inspiring the fleas on their back to plant some sticks on Character B. It was mostly in good fun, but as the centuries continued to pass, they found that they had a deep-seeded longing for one another that they couldn’t shake. Finally, they decide that enough is enough and they attempt to touch again for the first time in a million years. The fleas, however, kick up a racket and try to stop them from exploring their feelings, citing things like “IF THE MOON CRASHES INTO THE EARTH, ALL LIFE WILL DIE” and other nonsense.

Selling potions of the gods is hard work, but collecting sweat from the brows of spent gladiators was the easy part. The more dangerous side really came from the other merchants of “beauty potions” and “aphrodisiacs.” When it came to blood, sweat, tears, and money, they became downright deadly.

When two politicians from the same political party decide to run for office against one another, they appear to have a fairly amicable relationship in the public’s eye (at least, as amicable as politics can get). Behind the scenes, however...Character A & B were absolutely feral. This hate fed into a poorly conducted night of romance which they both regretted. The following morning, they both stumbled out of the same bed, went to the same political debate, and told the other how they really felt about their stances, warts and all (and by all, let’s just say they weren’t exactly PG about what they had experienced the night before).

Here are some possible one-liners / comebacks:

“I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.”

“I’ve found puddles on the ground deeper than you.”

“I’ll never forget the first time we met... But I’ll keep trying.”

“What’d your parents do? Drop you to see if you’d turn off and on again?”

“They say opposites attract. I hope you meet someone who is good-looking, intelligent, and cultured.”

“I'm trying my absolute hardest to see things from your perspective, but I just can't get my head that far up my ass.”

“There's no need to repeat yourself. I ignored you just fine the first time.”

“Isn’t there a bullet somewhere you could be jumping in front of?”

“1 universe, 8 planets, 7 seas, 7 continents, 809 islands, 196 countries, and I had the unfortunate luck of meeting you.”

A. Admin Kasi:

Hero A was by the books, always following rules and never stepping on the toes of the law...that is, until a villain comes to town who’s stronger than anyone Hero A has ever faced before. Cornered, Hero A has no choice but to illicit the help of Hero B, a reckless, law-breaking newbie. Unfortunately for Hero A, there was no other choice (believe them when they say they checked). The more the two work together to defeat the villain, the closer they get and they slowly realize that maybe, just maybe, they don’t completely hate each other.

“Getting married to someone with superpowers was supposed to be great! Who wouldn’t want to be with someone with powers equal to a god? It really was a dream come true, but then, they started being a ‘hero.’ Now, the only time I ever see see them is passing glances in the house when they’re leaving for whatever new ‘hero work’ is needed. Which is always. So, with incredible pettiness, I decided I needed to do one thing: become their arch nemesis. How else was I supposed to get their attention?” AU

Hero A loved their roommate. They had the exact same schedule -- night jobs that took them both out of the house at the same time. There were no loud noises through the day because they were both sleeping, and they shared dinner together every night before heading out for a productive evening. It seemed like the ideal situation, and the two fell into a routine of mutual ease. It was perfect...that is, until Hero A started noticing bruises on their roommate that seemed really familiar to where they hit their arch nemesis the previous night.

Villain A had always thought Hero A had the absolutely dumbest abilities. Who the hell would ever want that ability to speak to and control birds? BIRDS?! Even though the power was ridiculous, THAT hero somehow became the protector of the city. Hero B was always in their shadow, second best in terms of recognition even though Hero B clearly had the better skills. They didn’t think Hero A even deserved the title until a situation comes up that requires Hero A’s exact abilities. Begrudgingly, Hero B has to ask for help. That being said, after seeing Hero A in action, their powers (and Hero A) are pretty okay.

Hero A was retired. You hear that?? RETIRED! Ever since a bullet went through their leg, making fighting incredibly painful, Hero A was content to give up that life and spend the rest of it doing mindless hobbies. This semi-retirement was pulled to a screeching halt when one day, their old nemesis was dumped on their doorstep, beaten within an inch of their life. After a lengthy recovery and a whole lot of questions, it turns out that Hero A’s old partner had gone completely off the rails. The two ex-enemies now have to team up: the cranky former hero and the villain with a newfound moral code. One night of careful scheming after another leads the two to become closer and for all lines to become blurred. At the end of it all, they couldn’t tell where hero ended and villain began.

Mercenary was a loose term; Character A did all jobs, as long as they were paid in the end. It spanned from killing, to spying, to escort missions, and they were content with them all. Character A barely even read the contract of the next job, only seeing the massive payout and disregarding any other details. They regret that now. Turns out, their new job is to guard the one person they hate more than anything: their rival -- a harsh, illegitimate business person that screwed Character A over too many times to count. Now, they’re forced to spend every waking moment together, but Character A isn’t finding it quite as horrible as they originally thought.

Good reveal au, where after learning phantom's identity and realizing the atrocities that the GIW have committed (or alternatively, ethical science au, where they find out the GIW plagarized them), the fenton parents decided to create the 'ultimate ghost-ending weapon' and sell it to the agents.

They go absolutely overboard, describing to the agents in meticulous detail how it evaporates any ghost it hits near-instantly and describing it quite ruthlessly in the blueprints, and soon the GIW have raplaced all their main weapons with the new gun.

Except it doesn't actually kill ghosts. It's the Fenton Bazooka. You know, the one that creates a portable portal to suck the ghost back into the ghost zone? What they actually did was retool it slightly to make it look more grusome than it actually is. They even added a beacon in Phantom's Keep, which all Fenton Bazookas will target when they open a portal, so the ghosts are always delivered to the keep.

From there, Phantom stationed an emergency medical team at the keep to treat the many injured and ragged ghosts that the GIW 'destroyed,' and to explain what just happened.

What they didn't anticipate was that now that the GIW have a mass-produced weapon that they believed would effectively eradicate ghosts, they would go on the offensive. They have a number of cities they've been monitoring but didn't want to get involved in without better tools.

One of those cities is Gotham.

And the Bats are ectocontaminated enough to register as ghosts.

Batman witnessed several of his children get evaporated by green energy weapons within mere moments of each other. He's absolutely gutted. Devastated. They didn’t even stand a chance.

He'll get his revenge, and it's frighteningly easy to track the weapon to private subcontractors. The Doctors Fenton, in Illinois. Their research calls for the genocide of all ghost kind, and apparently, that war started by killing his own children.

His children will not die in vain.

He gets to Amity Park and finds the Engineer's Nightmare of a building that is Fentonworks, but that night, before he can hack through the security and break in, one of the windows opens.

It's one of his kids that he had watched evaporate before his very eyes. They give him a silent signal of one of their identifying security codes and gesture for him to come inside.

Is it a trap? A prank in poor taste? Utterly genuine?

He goes through the window.

All of his dead kids are there, wearing borrowed pajamas and only their dominoes to conceal their identities. Daniel Fenton (son of the Fentons, this is his bedroom, has voiced a few arguments against his parent's views, but still an unknown) is among the crowd of teens and young adults, twirling on an office chair and obnoxiously sipping a capri sun.

"First thing you need to know, Bats," Daniel says after finishing his drink, "is that my parents are absolutely NOT genocidal ectophobic scumbags, and that is the reason why your kids are still alive."

#the bats are not the first human liminals that the giw 'killed'#whenever humans land in the keep frostbite immediates calls phantom to take them back to earth #alternate scene at fentonworks:#bruce spies maddie on the phone and overhears her saying she'll 'inform batman when he arrives'#its frostbite/phantom on the phone telling her to keep an eye out for any bats because some of their team was 'killed'#and shortly after she spots batman spying on her and gestures for him to come in #and when theyre both in the lab the spectre speeder returns chock full of various bats and team phantom members #needless to say bruce is very relieved and incredibly confused #and his kids have a pretty wild story to tell #i deliberately left which kids vague #but i imagined jason and tim for sure and possibly two others #they hadnt left fentonworks yet as to not inform the giw that they survived and knowing that bruce would find them #it would also give away the fenton's trick and dont want to reveal that before the agency has been stopped #so they have to make a plan that doesnt reveal that theyre alive or expose the fentons deceit too quickly #the fentons may have to be temporarily arrested by the justice league while the investigation is ongoing #to hide the fact that they werent actually helping the giw #dpxdc #dp x dc

AC6 College AU? Rusty plays the lacrosse, Raven is either a programmer or an engineer major, Ayre is an AI made by him, and Freud is one of the faculty members.

i've actually thought about a college AU!

Well, technically, a university AU bc I'm from the UK and college is a diff thing entirely to uni. Also I have no idea what American uni culture is like LMAO (idek what lacrosse is, rusty would be good at football or rugby tho) BUT ANYWAYS my idea for it was:

RUSTY: an undergraduate taking the BSc (Hons) in Ecology and Conservation (not sure if it's different outside of UK, but an "honours degree" is more difficult than a standard degree, and is more attractive to employers as a result). He's got an avid interest in ecology and zoology, and has plans to be a conservationist upon graduating.

621: He's actually a professor at the university, but looks so young that most mistake him as a student if they're not in his department. He teaches ethical hacking and cyber security, and has several rumours about him, such as he used to be a notorious hacker who was eventually caught and strongarmed into working for the government in lieu of a prison sentence, and now spends his time teaching the next generation, etc, etc. Is it true? Who knows...

WALTER: He's the university librarian, and everyone is scared of him because he's so stern and always has this aura of intensity, even when just checking a book out for someone. For some reason he's on very good terms with 621... many people theorise on their history, because Walter's also very good with computers... everyone is also aware that Walter and Michigan are a thing bc those guys ain't subtle in the slightest.

FREUD: He teaches sport science and students either love him or hate him. He's like the human personnification of marmite. He's very enthusiastic about health and remaining in peak condition, and he expects his students to give 110% in his classes. He's always butting heads with Snail, who's in the same department as him. People take bets on how long it'll take for them to fight in the parking lot and who would win (Freud has 'is insane' strength but Snail would be powered by sheer rage that has been repressed for x amount of years).

IGUAZU: He works in the on-campus cafe as a barista. He's surly and curt but makes the best damn coffee in the city so no one really complains about it. He seems to know 621 and has some kind of hate-love relationship with him? It's complicated. He yells at 621 every time he walks into the cafe but also knows his order off by heart so it's very hmmm (more fuel for the rumour mills).

MICHIGAN: He teaches War Studies and History, and while he's a pretty demanding professor, most students love his energetic style of teaching. Many assume him to be a red and blue blooded American on account of his bombastic personality, American accent and insisting on being called Michigan - he's actually French and the estranged son of a well-known billionaire. It's Michigan's deepest darkest secret.

AYRE: Every so often 621 will have a guest speaker in his classes who calls in remotely (and voice only) called Ayre. He says she's an "old work colleague" and they're both very vague about what work they were colleagues in, but people enjoy Ayre's guest appearances as she's very friendly - in direct contrast to the very taciturn and almost cold 621.

O'KEEFFE: He works in HR, but most students joke that he's more of an information broker than anything. Though he acts put upon, he's willing to help out students trying to navigate the byzantine beaucracy of university paperwork and how to squeeze out as much as possible from their loans or signposting people to things that can help them. He's easily bribed with coffee and cigarettes, but honestly, he'd help out even without a bribe... very much one of those people who look gruff and unfriendly on the outside, but actually a good person underneath it all.

FLATWELL: He owns a bakery just outside of university grounds that's popular with the students. One of the reasons Rusty chose this univeristy to do his degree: his Uncle lives just outside of it, and was willing to house him, letting Rusty save money for dormitory and food and stuff. Seems to have some ~history~ with O'Keeffe in HR...

UH THOSE ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS/ROLES and the plot would be Rusty crossing paths with 621 and thinking him very cute (621 would be the type to dress in cardigans and wear glasses), and also a fellow student... is totally unaware that he's a faculty member from an entirely different department. Tl;dr after some flirting and a few dates, Rusty only realises that 621 is a faculty member when he mentions off hand about needing to go back early to mark papers.

Rusty: oh you're... a TA? helping out in your last year? 621: no i teach Rusty: Rusty: wait how old are you-

In this I'm thinking Rusty would be in his mid-twenties, and 621 would be in his late thirties. So, about a 10 year gap between them, give or take a year.

But yeah. Coughs. That's.... that's my university au idea... mmhm. yeah...

#armored core #armored core 6 #all i do at work is think of random aus tbh #if i had access to my computer at work i'd probably write even more fic than i do now...#lies down #sighs #armored core......

⋆ ﹕₊˚ hansol, pathology ⋆ home boy is in a world by himself... and his trusty microscope ⋆ he and jihoon have weekly therapy sessions where they complain and rant about how the other members keep busting into their respective offices for menial things ⋆ takes photos of cool stains and samples that he sees and sends it to the group chat, only for everyone to be so far distanced from their last histology course that they have no idea what he's freaking out about most of the time ⋆ the only person who knows what's up in the group chat is joshua, the hospital dermatologist ⋆ somewhat appreciates emergency doctor hoshi's comments about the cool colors and funny shapes ⋆ super chill, doesn't take offense when people ask him to reinterpret samples ⋆ the pathology lab always has the best music playing in it, especially when hansol's working. sometimes, can be found hunched over a microscope with earbuds in, or his personal playlist is softly playing in the background ⋆ literally vibing

@snowzapped of course! It's gonna be a dramady one-shot hanahaki au where: Jason wakes up couching up rose petals the night after hanging out with Tim. He immediately decides to fix it, because he knows Tim will try to make himself fall in love with him just to fix it and Tim deserves better.

His first call is to Bruce, because it anyone were to have the resources to help him and the understanding of why he wouldn't tell Tim, it's him.

Bruce, unfortunately, has been aware of the torch Tim's been carrying for Jason for literal years before ethics point and is now in the uncomfortable position of revealing said fact and hoping for the best, or helping Jason do what he wants to do and keeping his mouth shut.

He doesn't get the chance, because Alfred overhears and gives Tim a call. He, because he has faith in them to work it out (and let's be real is an old man who loves drama), informs Tim of what Jason is sick with, but not the why or the who.

Tim, because he's Tim, ignores his own feelings about finding out Jason's in love with someone in order to march on over to the Bat Cave to convince him not to go through with it. Who does he have to track down and drag down there to meet them, he'll do it. If it's Rayner he can figure out how to find him in space, even if Tim might lie low for a month afterwards nursing a broken heart and getting his shit together.

This display of dedication of course exacerbates the disease because, how is Tim so good? Not fair. Eventually Tim is interrupted mid rant about hijacking a space ship by Bruce, who is in the terrible position of being a wingman for two of his boys, asking him why he thought they'd called *him.*

Terrible lack of deduction on display, truly.

Jason's like, mad they called Tim at all because he wanted to spare him, but is too busy hacking up a lung to voice said complaint, when Tim's like "that's ridiculous, it has to be unrequited for it to be hanahaki"

Cue Alfred hiding his smile behind his hand as they figure it out, with Bruce looking like that Chrissy Teigen smiling meme in the background.

Tim absolutely makes fun of Jason for trying to get rid of his hanahaki the literal first day for the rest of their lives.

Do you ever think what Terezi Serket and Vriska Pyrope would be like? (in a lifeswap way, even though they'd totally steal each others names if they married.)

A Vriska who is on the outside of society looking in, who feels compelled to prove she's just as great without a Lusis as everyone else. Even so, she can't help notice all the flaws in society, and the desire to BURN IT ALL DOWN! I feel like in this au, she'd latch onto Gamzee and try to train him the way she canonically trained Tavros. I also feel like she'd really look up to Karkat for hiding her blood color, but not want to admit that in a million years.

A Terezi that spends most of her life trying to find the most ethical ways to feed her lusis possible. She asks Sollux to help her hack into databases to find trolls that need to be culled, and mercy kills them first. Eventually, she gains a bit of a reputation for this, and trolls beg her to save the lives of their quadrant mates. She's conflicted for that. Vriska repeatedly tries to convince this Terezi to kill Spidermom, but Terezi refuses, saying she can't help her diet. I feel like this Terezi works with Eridan to save the world from Feferi's Lusis, and feels heroic because of it. (I also feel like she'd dislike Fef for shirking her perceived responsibility) I also feel like she'd be mediating Arasol, but I don't know why.

honestly i just really like to put hoxton into situations but @velathetanager had an amazing player au which grew this horrible little seed. so thanks. i'd make a fic but without a pc it's not fun to type.

so. hoxton gets to know a payday 2 player. basically it's accidental and he overhears the mutterings of a player who's testing out a build or something. he's confused, but he's too busy to really question it. at least until jacket goes down and there's a very clear voice in his head going "damn ai pathing. someone come get me - HOXTON! HOXTON YOU STUPID BITCH come get my dead ass or - SYDNEY NO GET AWAY FROM THE TURRET! dammit sydney's down too fuuuck" and hoxton gets jacket back up and all is good. our player gets confused when hoxton in particular is becoming a smart bot. hoxton is hella confused about the voice but now he's realising how dumb his friends are being (minus jacket, who seems to be possessed). obviously our player puts hoxton permanently on to the bot crew.

hoxton doesn't get any good answers until he's back at the safehouse. as he hears jacket walking around fully armed and poking jimmy in the face (and since when was jiro fully mute, anyway?) he's standing in front of his fully completed conspiracy corkboard. jacket comes upstairs, punches a glass wall to come in and talks to dallas (who is unfazed) and then walks in to chat with clover (who would normally be chasing jacket out with a broom). hoxton stops jacket, calling out his name. jacket pauses, before the voice comes back in hoxton's head, "new voice line? i thought ovk ran out of money after paying pete gold for that hoxton christmas single." ok, christmas single? sure, hoxton had a christmas album that was in public circulation, but the single was still in the christmas cards waiting to be sent out.

is this weird voice someone who had hacked into bain's channels? and just selectively decided to drive hoxton crazy? that can't be it. bain would have known by now if that was the case. and the cryptic jargon this person was using... and who the fuck is pete gold?

while hoxton is considering this, jacket is circling him. "man, you're ugly," says the voice.

"WHO are you calling ugly?" hoxton snaps, fully expecting dallas or clover to shush him for the noise. neither of them are responsive. aldstone is still walking around the safehouse, nonchalantly walking through the broken glass wall. shit's getting weird.

jacket has paused, blinking somewhat owlishly. "uh. hox, you hear me?"

"yeah. who are you, and what do you want from me?"

"uh... shit, how do i explain this? um... consider me a god or something. yeah, that's our relation. this world is but a plaything to me. but you... you've received my divine favour! congratulations!" the voice is obviously making this shit up. but hoxton finds the explanation somewhat logical. it explains the weird behaviour of his friends. the knowledge and the cryptic words the voice uses.

"if i'm the one with 'divine favour' then why are you using jacket?"

"look, i had to commit one count of digital smuggling to pl- uh, possess him, ok? i can possess anyone i want. i just think jacket is funny."

"can you possess me then?" hoxton doesn't want this to happen. he just wants to know.

"yeah, but it's not as fun. you're actually helpful when we're heisting. plus, why not just leave you with the burden of knowing? i think it's more interesting that way. possession would just be a reprieve you don't deserve!" the voice cackles. the voice is an asshole. the possession of jacket is somewhat fitting.

"what do i get out of this divine favour then? an asshole who follows me around, talks to me in my head and makes my friends all weird?"

"look, i have to go make dinner soon, so your friends will be back to normal. and i'm much more useful than that! i can tell you things that you shouldn't know yet. but i'm considerate and i don't want to break your little brain." ok, that's fair. probably. hoxton had never considered the ethics of being a god that knew everything. he didn't consider much ethics at all.

"you can tell me something i don't know, right?"

"get ready for more election rigging and holding out!"

and with that, the voice leaves. jacket just keeps staring at hoxton. dallas starts screaming about the broken glass wall. aldstone calls a guy who can fix it.

hoxton needs a stiff drink. it's 9am on a thursday morning. he thinks he deserves it.

#payday 2 #hoxton #jacket #neki writes #neki spitposts #it was a fun exercise!

Crack SVSSS AU

Luo Binghe’s Washerwoman mother becomes accidental protagonist

Shang Qinghua is tired, so unbelievably tired.

Ignoring the fact that his 20 something modern day man has never dealt with anything resembling the scale of running an entire cultivation peak.

Or well *ahem* assisting in the running. Not that his Shizun actually did much other than throw papers at his face or drop by to schedule another “seclusion” aka vacation.

He also has to deal with the irritatingly attractive and violent demon popping into his rooms ever so often with absolutely no warning nor preparation.

There are only so many excuses he can give for some alone time in his room with silencing talismans before people come to a very different and very awkward conclusion.

Oh and did he mention there was also an invisible, omnipotent and omnipresent being giving over his shoulder dictating his each and every action?

Needless to say, Shang Qinghua is very very tired. He is also very very rapidly losing patience.

He sighs, loudly.

And because he can, he does it again, louder.

Unfortunately, his sighing doesn’t change the mountain of paperwork in front of him.

“Hey System,” he says, glaring resentfully at the pile of paper that sits there mocking him.

Ding

How can the System help User 1?

He waves tiredly at the pile on his desk. “Is there some kind of tool or skill that I can use to make this go away faster”

Ding

The System aims to please! There are a multitude of potions and artifacts that can enhance work ethic and energy!

Shang Qinghua lit up, “really! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? How much do they cost?”

Ding

These items can be purchased through our exclusive enhancements menu!

He quickly scrolls to where the System directs him to, only to stop and glare at the hovering blue screen.

“What do you mean it costs 600 B points to unlock!”

Ding

Our enhancements shop is available for high level players and promises high quality products that will greatly increase Users life quality!

“I barely even have 700 B points”

Ding

User 1 is encouraged to work hard to earn more B points!

Shang Qinghua groans as he collapses in his chair.

“Ugh, wish I had some kind of program so that I can hack the stupid paywall” he grumbles grabbing another scroll.

He pauses

“Hey System” he asks cautiously.

Ding

The system is always here to please!

He licks his lips wondering if what he wants to do will actually do anything.

“Execute order #420,”

The System, pauses for lack of a better word before popping back in, screen red.

Ding

Error, order #420 is invalid

Shang Qinghua laughs, “holy shit can the System accept orders like this?”

Ding

The System would like to know what Use is planning

He just waves it off, “nothing nothing, everything is fine,”

He bites his lip, giddy with excitement.

Over the next couple days he experimented with tossing the System some orders. Most of them were failures. But some of them worked.

For some reason Order #39753 would make him trip in place, no matter where he was.

And order # 2956383 would toss a handful of flower petals on him.

Nothing useful, but it did break the monotony of his days and make them more interesting.

Until one day,

“Execute order #304862,”

He tossed out casually, chewing on a melon seed while staring at the most recent budget proposal from Bai Zhan, always running out of training dummies that one.

Ding

Executing Order #304862, reassigning protagonist Halo

Shang Qinghua felt his soul drain from his body. He jolted up knocking a small pile of scrolls of the table.

“Wait what no system don’t do that!” He panicked trying to frantically remember the number he’s randomly spit out.

“Execute order #304862,” he repeats frantically, “reassign the halo to Luo Binghe”

The System pauses again seemingly buffering.

Ding

Error Luo binghe not found, reassigning Protagonist Halo to nearest possible designation, Luo Binghe’s Mother

The System pauses and buffers like a dying computer.

Shang Qinghua could do nothing but stare in horror as it combusted in front of his eyes.

Ding

Congratulations congratulations congédias Gish,.. 010010bdons, This system aims to please.

Please have a wonderful transmigration experience and good lucanshd

Shang Qinghua stared in horror at the spot where the System used to be

What did he just do.

i've been thinking;;; we know Brucie, Wisteria and Penny are related to the crime family... what about an AU where they were directly in the business?

Mmmmmmmm good soup~! Thank you Anon :)

CW: drugs, violence

Brucie: has been involved with the group in the past; he left after a work-related incident scarred him deeply emotionally, and permanently injured one of his legs. Had it not been for that incident, Brucie would still be going by a very different name and living that old life. He’s brawn, he’s muscle— treated in some ways as disposable, despite being part of the family, perhaps because he comes from a poor branch of the family rather than the rich main line. His common jobs involve being a body guard, or being sent to intimidate people into compliance with the family’s wishes. Rarely, he may be tasked with infiltrating law enforcement agencies to get information on them.

Wisteria: reluctant slacker in the group. Continually protests that her computer skills are not suitable for hacking, so fae doesn’t often hack into law enforcement or rivals’ information. Rather, Wisteria gets by creating and maintaining websites for the family’s largest shell companies, creating applications for the leaders of smaller gangs under the family’s control to report back in without police interception, and other things of that nature. They actually really hate being a part of this, not from any moral objection, but because fae resents all the responsibility and pressure it brings.

Penny: much more serious and less whimsical— even her house and clothes are more muted, understated. She has limited passion for this career, but her sharp mind and iron will make her a great candidate to be the next leader of the family, despite being the current leaders’ niece rather than one of their daughters. She’s incredibly unconcerned about the ethics of her actions— not caring who gets hurt by the family’s racketeering, drug and weapons trafficking, turf wars, etc— but with her chemistry knowledge Pen is actually incredibly picky about the quality of the illicit substances the family oversees the production and distribution of. Much like her aunt Drew Bardot, Penny dreams of a quiet and peaceful life that she will never be able to have because of her family’s history and her involvement in it.

Story of the League

Story of the League by kitncat

Finally, the bell rang and Aizawa-sensei strolled into the classroom. At least by now the entire class had learned to quiet down quickly, earning them a nod from the Underground Hero as he strode to the blackboard. Picking up a piece of chalk, the man scrawled a bold ‘Vigilante’ across the board before turning to them. “How many of you have heard of vigilantes?”

When Aizawa decides to give his class a rather special Hero Laws and Ethics lesson, it leads Izuku down a bit of a memory lane.

Britain's fourth estate

A vrai dire, l'expression « fourth estate » est utilisée pour faire référence à (to refer to) la presse au Royaume-Uni.

As a matter of fact, the phrase « fourth estate » is used to refer to the UK press.

L'élément le plus remarquable est le fossé entre les journaux de qualité parfois appelés « grandes feuilles » et les tabloïds souvent appelés la presse de caniveau.

The most note-worthy element is the divide between quality newspapers sometimes called « broad sheets » and the tabloids often called the gutter press.

The Times, The Guardian et The Daily Telegraph sont souvent surnommés « les trois gros ». Ces derniers sont des journaux de qualité.

The Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph are often dubbed « the big three ». The latter are broad sheets.

The Daily Mail, The Sun et The Daily Mirror sont trois tabloïds avec une très grande diffusion mais il semblerait qu'avec la révolution internet beaucoup de lecteurs se détournent (to turn away from) du papier.

The Daily Mail, The Sun and The Daily Mirror are three tabloids with a large circulation but it would appear that with the internet revolution many readers are turning away from paper.

Quant à la BBC, parfois surnommée la Beeb ou encore Tantine, sa création (foundation) remonte à 1922 et sa devise est « informer, distraire et éduquer ». Notez que BBC One est la chaîne la plus regardée au Royaume-Uni.

As for The BBC, sometimes dubbed the Beeb or also Auntie, its foundation dates back to 1922 and its motto is « to inform, to entertain and to educate ». Note that BBC One is the UK's most watched channel.

Aux USA, la liberté de la presse est inscrite (to be enshrined) dans le premier amendement de la constitution, ce qui n'est pas le cas au Royaume-Uni qui n'a pas de constitution écrite. La liberté de la presse est néanmoins la pierre angulaire de la démocratie dans ce royaume.

In the US, freedom of the press is enshrined in the first amendment of the constitution unlike in the UK which has no written constitution. Freedom of the press is however the cornerstone of democracy in this kingdom.

Le tabloïd le plus vendu du Royaume-Uni, News of the World, détenu par le magnat de la presse Robert Murdoch, a dû fermer en 2011 suite au scandale du piratage téléphonique. (the phone hacking scandal)

The best-selling tabloid in the UK, News of the World, owned by press tycoon Robert Murdoch, had to close in the wake of the phone hacking scandal.

En effet, il fut révélé que ce journal avait piraté les téléphones portables de nombreuses personnes dont des politiques et des gens célèbres.

Indeed, it was revealed that this tabloid had hacked the cell-phones of many people including politicians and celebrities.

Il serait injuste de ne pas citer The Economist qui est un magazine britannique d'actualité qui cible des lecteurs hautement éduqués, ainsi que The FT (Financial Times) qui est un quotidien économique et financier britannique mais détenu par une entreprise japonaise.

It would be unfair not to name The Economist which is a British news magazine that aims at highly educated reader, as well as The FT which is an economic and business daily newspaper but owned by a Japanese firm.

Mais que réserve (to hold) l'avenir à la presse britannique ? Sera-t-elle capable de s'adapter aux nouvelles réalités ? Pourra-t-elle faire face à la révolution numérique ? Et pourra-t-elle préserver ses valeurs et son éthique ? Cela reste à voir.

But what does the future hold for the British press ? Will it be able to adapt to the new realities ? Will it be able to cope with the digital revolution ? And will it be able to protect its values and ethics ? This remains to be decided upon.

MDR-Services inklusive Penetration Testing und Red Teaming

Bitdefender hat heute seine neuen Bitdefender Offensive Services vorgestellt. Das neue Angebot ist darauf ausgerichtet, Sicherheitslücken in einer Unternehmens-IT durch Penetration Testing und simulierte Red-Team-Angriffe zu identifizieren, proaktiv zu bewerten und zu beheben. Das Angebot adressiert sowohl On-Premises-, Cloud- wie Hybrid-Cloud-Umgebungen. Die Bitdefender Offensive Services ergänzen das Managed-Detection-and-Response (MDR)-Portfolio von Bitdefender und bieten Organisationen proaktive Dienstleistungen und Mittel an, ihre IT-Umgebungen zu stärken, Risiken zu reduzieren und zugleich gesetzliche Vorschriften oder Compliance-Vorgaben wie SOC 2, HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA, PCI-DSS, NIS2 und ISO 27001 einzuhalten – und das bei einer sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Gefahrenlandschaft. Experten testen per Hack Teams aus höchstqualifizierten und erfahrenen Cybersicherheitsanalysten, Sicherheitsforschern, Threat Huntern und CREST-zertifizierten ethischen Hackern führen die Dienste leitend durch. Sie bauen dabei auf den Daten des Bitdefender Global Protective Network auf, welches aus hunderten Millionen Sensoren besteht, die permanent und weltweit Daten zur IT-Sicherheit sammeln. Darüber hinaus unterstützen die neuen Services Organisationen beim Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), ein Prozess zur Cybersicherheit, der kontrollierte Angriffe simuliert, um Gefahren für Netzwerke, Systeme und Supply-Chain-Umgebungen zu identifizieren und zu simulieren. Dieser Prozess unterzieht das IT-Sicherheitslevel einem Stresstest und identifiziert Schwachstellen, bevor die wirklichen Angreifer sie ausnutzen. Penetration Testing und Red Teaming Penetration Testing Auf jede Organisation zugeschnitten berücksichtigt der Dienst mehrere Faktoren, wie die Branche, die operative Infrastruktur, welche Software zum Einsatz kommt und welche Risiken wahrgenommen werden. Das Ethical-Hacking-Team nimmt eine Bestandsaufnahme von Sicherheitslücken vor, um die Schwachstellen von Systemen – unter anderem Netzwerke, Applikationen und mobilen Geräte – zu identifizieren. Die gefundenen Schwachstellen nutzen die Experten, um autorisierte simulierte Cyberangriffe durchzuführen. Sie überprüfen Cyberabwehr und Kontrollmechanismen (Autorisierung, Authentifizierung und Integritätsprüfung) eines Unternehmens anhand von Industriestandards. Ein daraus abgeleiteter detaillierter Bericht hilft Sicherheitslücken zu beheben, klärt über die möglichen Folgen eines echten Angriffs auf und stärkt das allgemeine IT-Sicherheitsniveau des Unternehmens. Red Teaming Menschliche Experten leiten die informationsbasierte Übung, die reale Bedrohungsakteure – einschließlich Advanced Persistent Threats (ATPs) – simuliert. Die Experten zeigen dabei, wie Angreifer versuchen würden, kritische Funktionen und die zugrundeliegenden Systeme einer Organisation zu kompromittieren. Im Gegensatz zu Penetrationstests ist Red Teaming zielorientiert und basiert auf Open-Scope-Tests. Die simulierten Angriffe laufen über einen längeren Zeitraum verdeckt ab, um das gesamte Ökosystem der Cybersicherheit eines Unternehmens zu bewerten, das Menschen, Prozesse und Technologien umfasst. Die Angriffe orientieren sich an den Techniken, Taktiken und Abläufen (Techniques Tactics and Procedures, TTP) des MITRE-ATT&CK-Frameworks und sollen das Verhalten der Gegner durch spezifische Angriffsmethoden imitieren. Zu den simulierten Methoden gehören Social Engineering, an das Opfer angepasste Tools und Malware, Lateral Movement nach einem Eindringen und weitere Ansätze. Das Bitdefender Red Team verbessert die Fähigkeit einer Organisation oder eines Unternehmens, Angriffe zu erkennen, darauf zu reagieren und erhöht die Resilienz von Unternehmen gegenüber Angriffen. Mehr Sicherheit für Unternehmen „Da Malware, das Ausnutzen von Schwachstellen, Phishing und andere Angriffe weiterhin zunehmen und sich weiterentwickeln, sind Unternehmen, die proaktiv Maßnahmen ergreifen um ihre Cybersicherheit kontinuierlich zu verbessern, wesentlich sicherer aufgestellt als andere“, sagt Andrei Florescu, Deputy General Manager und Senior Vice President of Products der Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. „Indem wir unser MDR-Angebot durch die Bitdefender Offensive Services ergänzen, profitieren Unternehmen von einem unkomplizierten Ansatz, ihre Sicherheitslage zu verbessern und kritische Elemente ihrer Sicherheitsmaßnahmen von einem hochtalentierten Team von Fachleuten überprüfen, analysieren und anführen zu lassen.“ Im unabhängigem 2023 Cybersecurity Assessment Report gaben mehr als die Hälfte (52 %) der befragten 400 IT- und Cybersicherheitsexperten an, dass Hacker in den letzten zwölf Monaten Daten des Unternehmens offengelegt hatten oder in ihre IT-Infrastrukturen eingebrochen sind. Befragt nach ihren größten Sorgen zu Cybergefahren nannten die Studienteilnehmer Schwachstellen in der Software und/oder Zero-Days-Risiken (53 %). Dieses Ergebnis ergänzt die Befunde der Bitdefender Labs, die eine deutliche Zunahme von Cyberkriminalität zeigen, bei der Cyberkriminelle bekannte Software-Schwachstellen mit Hilfe von Proof-of-Concept (PoC)-Angriffen ausnutzen.
