707 pt.5.1

← previous chapter

your series on quinn had garnered an overwhelming response from the audience. both of you had earned heftily and toji gained a big fat "i told you so" from you. it was now New Year's Eve. the day was marked as a holiday, providing you a much-needed break from the work. you considered this day as an opportunity to unwind and focus on yourself. so, you decided to indulge in a self-care day.

despite a long night's rest, you found yourself waking up later than usual, the warmth of your cozy bed tempting you to stay curled under your comforter just a bit longer. you mindlessly scrolled on your phone.

following an unconventional breakfast (coffee and a cheesecake), you made your way to your comfortable couch, sinking into the soft cushions with a content sigh. you decided to read for a while.

like any girl, you had your divine stash of spicy dark romances. you flipped through the pages, devouring every word, playing it in your head imagining henry cavill everywhere. the best thing you could do to annotate was excitedly underline your favourite lines with a pen and decorate them with exclamation marks.

the way those stories fuelled your inner devil... a part of you wished fictional men were real. every particle in you wanted to be fucked by a god. you had no shame when it came to your kinks, but most of your partners took three steps back and made themselves unknown when they discovered them. so you kept them to yourself, sticking to your books and your mind.

you were highly invested in the plot of [insert favourite dark romance] when your phone buzzed.

'need a hand. come downstaris'

you wondered what toji was up to and kept your book down, marking the page you were on with a crumpled bill. still in night shorts, hair dishevelled in a bun, you put some boots on and took the lift downstairs. it was mildly breezy and you wished you'd put a jacket on. with clattering teeth, you stepped out into the foyer, looking around. you sauntered to the parking space allotted to 706.

you stopped dead in your tracks, looking in front of you, at the six foot two broad man who sat on a sexy, ink black bike, wearing an equally dark compression shirt and a helmet that sent pulses straight between your legs. it took you a moment to believe that it was toji.

"megs needs some things for school. i'd have bought them myself but apparently he says i have horrible taste in stationary. would you..." toji stared at you.

why were you standing with disney XD knees? why were your eyes focused on his torso? why were you practically drooling?

you couldn't see his face since it was hidden underneath a black visor. but toji had a sly smirk permanently plastered on his face.

"you alright there, princess?" he asked, leaning forward, placing his arms on the bike's airbox, his muscles tightening and bringing out the veins.

"you... ride a bike..."

toji chuckled. "i may be hustling for cash, sweetie, but i come from generational wealth. this baby here is just one of the perks."

you gulped and took a few steps near him. you didn't know what to focus on. his buff arms that could crack your skull in a millisecond, his torso (by that i mean fushititties), the sexy helmet that hid his handsome face from you or that fact that he had a bike.

"uh huh..." words failed to come out of your mouth.

"you can check me out all day, princess, but i gotta run errands. you in?"

mindlessly, you nodded. toji chortled and handed you a spare helmet, which you put on. he noticed that you were all but naked in your night clothes, so he loosened that jacket he'd tied around his waist and asked you to turn around. he put it on you, adoring how big it looked on you.

"penguin..." he muttered.

you still hadn't recovered from anything. you half expected to wake up from a dream. you managed to sit on the bike, scooting forward to adjust yourself.

"hold tight."

only when the bike roared did you come to your senses. the sudden momentum made you jolt forward and wrap your arms around his waist.

"are you okay?" toji asked, amused by how brainlessly you were behaving. upon hearing no response, he simply began driving. it was going to be a quick ride, but toji figured he might as well spend it with you. he was no stranger to riding sports bikes, but having you sitting behind him made him want to show off just a little.

aligning his body with the bike, toji swerved skilfully, leaning into each curve with a boldness and surety that seemed almost choreographed.

you on the other hand, had begun fantasising all sorts of things. the knowledge of toji being a biker did some things to you. the arms that circled around him slowly loosened as your hands started to feel his abs with a mind of their own.

toji knew all to well what you were going through. it was the standard response of any girl. he let out a soft laugh, loving the way your hands felt on him. he sped up slightly, darting through the streets. you reached the store quicker than you anticipated. toji turned the bike off, expecting you to get off, but no. you just sat there, glued to him.

he leaned back, turning his waist slightly, and placed his elbow on your knee.

"any plans to get off?" he asked.

"oh... you bet..." you blurted out earning a deep chuckle from the man.

with great reluctance, you hopped off the bike, feeling very small compared to the large man beside you. he took his helmet off and cradled it in his arms.

you still had yours on. he tapped on it, hoping to snap you back to senses. he had no clue what was going on with you, but he didn't mind.

the two of you strolled through the store, ticking each item of the school's list.

"he's six. he does not need a dissection kit, toji..."

"that's what this is?"

the next half an hour went by quickly and you were out of the store in no time.

"you had breakfast, princess?" he asked. okay, you weren't a big fan of nicknames, but the way they spilled out of his mouth so effortlessly, made you giddy.

"yep. you?"

"not yet. you mind if i grab something real quick?"

you shook your head. the two of you drove to a nearby KFC (sorry...). he parked the bike and went inside since the queue at the drive through was long. you sat on the bike, letting your thoughts run wild. oh, you wanted him. in some uncanny ways. just how ever were you going to convince him...

toji came outside holding a paper bag with food in it. he was genuinely concerned about your strange behaviour. maybe he'd ask you about it later. standing beside you, almost towering over you, he nonchalantly ran his gloved hand across you thigh, taking in the goosebumps that rose on your skin.

"you wanna drive?"

"what? fuck. no. we'd die."

"it ain't that hard."

"no thank you. i'm happy being your backpack."

"my what?"

"backpack? you know... passenger princess, but for bikes..."

"huh."

toji definitely felt too old for a moment. "you're fine being called after an object?"

"uh... yeah..." you didn't like how dry the conversation had become. you were half convinced. there was no way toji would hear your kinks out.

the ride back to your building was silent. not awkward, just silent. even the elevator ride upstairs was hollow. toji stepped into his apartment, you following him like a puppy. he placed the bags on the couch. he stood in his living room, checking his mail, one arm cradling the helmet, his hands sifting through the envelopes. he spotted you gawking at him through the corner of his eye.

"are you stoned?"

"huh? no."

"are you sick?"

"no, i'm not sick... i'll... be in my house then... thanks for the ride."

you fist bumped his shoulder and trotted away into your house. toji had a big question mark on his face. usually you'd run your mouth and leave no snarky comment off the table. so, seeing you acting like a wobbly stool made him wonder if something had happened.

the rest of the day went normally for both of you. you continued working on some songs and he cleaned his house for the first time in a while. by dinner time, toji ad gotten suspicious of your sudden lack of activity. he knocked on your door, once again, to find that it was unlocked.

"what's the point of this door..." he mumbled, stepping into your house.

you were in the kitchen, watching a youtube video on making lasagna.

"slipped my mind..." you said to him, eyes still fixated on your tiny phone.

toji observed you closely. ever since your little bike ride in the morning, you'd been acting weird.

"need help?"

you shook your head. why were you so quiet?

toji didn't want to leave you alone, so he just sat down on your couch, watching you cook (mostly mess up). he accidentally sat on the book you'd left there. with nothing else to do, he decided to flip through it.

let's just say he had to hold back a few gasps...

he looked at you, then looked at the book and then back at you.

is this what you read? you... liked this?

toji understood your quinn business, but to think that you actually enjoyed erotic stories outside of your hustle... now that was something. he decided to read a little, on the page you'd marked.

he covered his mouth with a curled fist as he read your book, hiding a devilish smirk. no wonder you went quiet. your poor mind must be picturing so many things seeing as the protagonist of your book too... was a biker. you innocent face did a great job at masking the inner demon. toji was at least six pages in when he realised how excruciatingly detailed everything was. he could only envision you reading the book, holding it with one hand while the other helped your nether region feel what you wanted the most.

but that wouldn't have been enough... you can't just imagine a rugged man having his way with you. you needed someone to actually do it to you. to manhandle you, put you in your place, and fuck you dumb. reading your book was like an insight into your mind. is this what you thought of all this time sitting behind him on the bike?

toji got up, still clutching the book in one hand and made his way to where you were. standing behind you, he rested his palm on the kitchen counter, trapping you between him and the marble surface, letting his body rub against your back.

he felt you inhale sharply. he let his mouth hover beside your ears as he read, "tell me, f/m/c, how bad do you want this?"

his voice made you shudder in place. you looked back at him, not expecting him to be that close.

"what..." you gaze fell to the book he was holding. in his large hands, the book seemed like a pocket bible. well... when it came to mind blowing sex, it was your bible.

"don't get all shy now. i know you like my fist around your throat." toji was only reading what the male protagonist was saying. he had plans for the rest. as he proceeded, he began imitating the actions described in the pages. he let his free hand caress your waist, moving up till it reached your breasts.

"i see you staring at my hands all the time. you like them that much?" he fondled one of them over your bra.

the grip you had on your spatula quivered and you dropped it. you had no words. you were too busy feeling his hands on you.

toji let his fingertips run down your stomach, loving the way you backed into him at the contact. it took no time for him to get hard.

"look at you... so sensitive." oh how glad he was to have spent all those nights recording with you. it gave him a power ready to abuse at any moment.

"i... the book... it's..." you panted.

"yours. no need to lie, sweetheart."

"it's just research... for qu-"

toji slipped his hand inside the flimsy shorts you were wearing the whole day.

"nuh uh. this one's all you."

he had truly mastered delicate touches, something which edged you to a point of absurdity.

"people read... so what." your defence was as weak as a twig.

"i'll stop then..." he was about to take his hands away, when you reflexively grabbed his arm, keeping it in place.

toji smirked.

"alright then... where was i..."

you let a sigh of relief. this was all you'd ever dreamed of. and you were getting it without asking for it. by none other than the menacing hunk of a man that toji was.

toji continued to read lines out loud, his actions dictating each reaction you gave. if he knew it was this easy to get you wet and begging, he'd have done it sooner. he slipped his fingers inside you, one after the other, at a painfully slow pace, dragging the whines out of you. he held back a laugh when you clench your thighs closer. it only motivated him to bully your cunt, speeding up and suddenly slowing down.

"that's a good girl..."

you let out a hearty chuckle, mixed with a long due moan as your head hangs low and forward, you hands gripping the kitchen counter. toji had become completely unpredictable with physical intimacy. you had to give him that. you enjoyed the thrill of it. but you were hardly a saint yourself. you wanted to push his buttons.

"copy cat... can't do a thing without help, can you?"

toji grunted in your ear, his hand squeezing you down there, almost pulling you back into him.

"watch your mouth, princess."

"offended already?" despite the whimpers that spilled out of you, you still had that bratty attitude toji desperately wanted to break. but he knew better than to play your game. he'd lose. so he chose his own route.

he pulled his hand out in an instant, relishing in your groan. before you could retort he snapped the book shut and shoved it between your legs.

"if it falls, you'll having it coming," toji whispered in your ears and left your house...

y/n be like

I love edging u guys... hehehe

Wrong On The Money (16)

part 16 of ?? | 706 words | Teen+

Blackmail fic on Ao3 | on tumblr

Summary:

“Harrington,” Eddie hisses, playing hopscotch over evil vines in hell trying to catch up. “Hey, Harring—Steve! Hold up a second.”

I've got 12k of this story so far, but I think this was my favorite part to write because what the fuck Steve. 😂

16.

“Harrington,” Eddie hisses, playing hopscotch over evil vines in hell trying to catch up. “Hey, Harring—Steve! Hold up a second.”

Maybe it’s the use of his first name, but the guy does slow down a bit. Enough for Eddie to pull up even with him, get a good look at his face in the barely-there light of the Upside Down filtering through the trees.

And by face, he means chest. But, shit, the guy is wearing his battle vest and Eddie is a healthy young gay man in the presence of a bloodied superhero.

It actually does very little for his modesty. He’d thrown it to Steve more for covering up any bleed-through on the make-shift bandages, especially over his sides where the bites are deepest. Mostly because Harrington . . . Steve had seemed more resigned than accepting of Nancy’s fussing when she’d tended to him earlier. Only a little bit because of the irrational stab of jealousy Eddie had felt watching it happen.

Which is stupid, so so stupid, because this is a hero he has been blackmailing for the past four months.

The nod of acknowledgement Steve gives him is far more neutral than that fact should allow. “Eddie, hey. Uh, look—” and he makes this self-deprecating little grimace that Eddie must be reading wrong “—thanks for saving my ass back there.”

“For—” Eddie nearly trips over a vine, catches himself, and steps over it with exaggerated care. “First of all, you saved your own ass, and pulled a real Ozzy move doing it.”

Steve blinks at him as they walk together. “Ozzy?”

“Ozzy Osbourne? Black Sabbath? He bit a bat’s head off onstage?” Seeing absolutely no recognition in that stupidly handsome face, Eddie shakes his head. “You know, doesn’t matter. Second of all, why the fuck are you helping me, man? Dustin and the others I get, but you have an active and very straightforward reason to tell me to fuck off.”

The question is met with a long silence, made worse by the complete lack of wind or normal wildlife sounds in this dark mockery of Hawkins’ woods. Steve scratches at his jaw, working it a little bit like he’s trying to pop his ears or something.

Finally, he says, “Right before the second round of this shit happened, Nancy told me that our relationship and everything about me was complete bullshit while blackout drunk. The next day she left with Jonathan Byers to take on the government, slept with him, came back, and let me tell her it was okay for her to just go be with him already without really knowing what all I was calling okay.”

Eddie, completely unprepared for . . . whatever the hell is happening, doesn’t realize he’s standing stock still until Steve stops too.

“I only found out because Jonathan felt bad and came by to clear the air after a while,” Steve continues. He sounds almost calm, angled to face Eddie but not quite meeting his eyes. “Pretty sure she has no idea that I know that, and she’s never said a word about it to me. And now. . . .” He sighs. “Now shit is happening again, and she’s in charge because she’s good at coming up with plans. And I’m here too, because there’s too much riding on this to walk away just because my ex is involved. This is the team whether we like it or not.”

Which. Okay.

What the fuck.

“We should keep going,” Steve tells him, and starts walking again.

Again, Eddie has to scramble to catch up. “What about Robin?” he asks, still reeling from that mental avalanche. (He’d had no idea that sweet little Nancy Wheeler could be so cold—the same way he’d never expected her to have guns, plural, in her bedroom.)

Steve sighs. “You’re going to find out sooner or later. . . . She’s not my girlfriend, man. We’ve never dated, she’s like my sister. Totally platonic.”

Eddie had been wrong. This is the avalanche, the thing that stops him in his tracks again, even though they have to keep moving. He’d assumed—

“Then why did you give me money?” he blurts out.

But Steve doesn’t stop for him this time, and all he gets in reply is a shrug in the darkness.

Prisoner and Savior | Daryl Dixon x Reader, Negan Daughter

summery: Negan is your father and he reasures you that the events taking place are not your fault, that history had been written and he couldn't not show a little ruthlessness towards those who killed his men. With Daryl trapped with you in that compound, what will you do?

word count: 706

warning: negan has character development and not a 100% bad guy, Daryl loves you no question, spoiler for season 7/8.

a/n: hey! an original idea by me! i like negan as a character both before and after character development i never thought he was a bad character just a ruthless leader and i wanted a story to show partially if he had a daughtr how she would be able to see the other lays to him and not just the one Rick and the others see. Also Daryl is so hopelessly in love with you don’t worry.

Please let me know if you want more Negan or more Daryl stories!!

Happy reading

You didn't like it here, you never really did. He stood there at the end of the hallway watching the man behind the door so closely. You could see his eyes travel over to you, hurt and want clearly. You wanted to save him, you wanted to hold him close again, but you were a prisoner the same as he.

Negan stood outside that door almost everyday, making you watch as he stood before the man you loved. Negan made you choose your fate and you chose the right one. You were not his wife, you could not be seen as you were Negan's daughter. The only living thing keeping your mothers memory alive. He had such an attachment to that bat after the fire and after the world ended that you ran. For a few years you were free of the sad lonely man that your father had become.

How do you explain to a community that the man they hate, is your father. You couldn’t, and Negan didn’t say a word either. You knew your father. He wasn't who he portrayed himself to be, he was different, yes but heartless, never. He steered into your eyes when he turned around from berating your boyfriend. Daryl looked hurt, and you knew this was your fault, as much as your father and others told it was not. If you had not taken such a liking to Maggie and Glenn maybe they wouldn't be dead, maybe they would still be alive. If your father had not been the man they had attacked unjustly maybe he would not have beaten the others, scared Rick and made you a prisoner at his empire.

Daryl knew, he knew about Negan, the relationship you had with Negan and he still loved you. That car ride to the compound you knew you had to tell him, every dark secret, every love and wish that things had turned out different. Daryl consoled you in that car, and promised he would always love you. You didn't deserve him, he was too good, too tough. So when he looked at you with love before the door closed once again, you wanted to crawl in that room beside him.

“This isn't your fault Y/N” Negan told you, the sweetness of his voice. You looked up at him, “I have to show my people I..can handle those who hurt us”

“I understand, I just hate seeing him like that,” you told the man. Naegan nodded his head from the sofa next to you.

“I'm sorry” Negan spoke before leaving the room, and leaving you to your thoughts. That night you sat outside his door, Dwight not too far to keep watch to make sure you got your time. Dwight was a man that was already hurt by your father and seeing the kindness he spared to you made him rethink a few things. You whispered through the door for an hour before Dwight reminded you of shift change and you had to leave. Soon after a break out plan was solidified.

“Go” Negan spoke from behind you, waiting patiently by the door as you packed a backpack, “Ill make it seem like you escaped and blame someone else”

“Then you're only hurting your men” you told him.

“Then i'll find someone who deserves it, someone other than you and Daryl” his heart was big, and big enough that he understood he could not keep living this path in life. “Ill make this up to you”

“Make it up to Alexandria, give them their lives back and the Kingdom, this world is already crazy we don't need ....tyrants too” you told him.

“I can do that”

Negan spoke to Rick that evening, a chance to change and after explaining over and over the things on each of their minds they came to an agreement. Things had to change and with the right conversations and the right people there things can be changed. No more death, no more loss and no more war. This world was already in shambles and having living people fighting instead of fighting the dead, seemed counter productive. So a charter and a negotiation was made between the Hilltop, Alexandria and the Kingdom.

Heyo! I saw that requests were open nd wanted to know if you could do a second part to the Shikamaru nsfw fic? If not that's fine! I love this blogs aesthetic and writing btw! Have a good day/night! 💕

A/N: Leviathan here, it's been almost a year since we've uploaded any works, lmfao so myyyyyy bad. I'm treating you guy with a part two and a full smut cause I love you and I feel bad. But that's okay, big brother Leviathan is here for the rescue. <3

Warnings: Sex, it's pretty vanilla, cursing, smut under the cut

WC: 706

x Male Reader

“Stop teasing so much, you bully!” you cried out, a small tear streaming down your cheek. Seeing the tear caused something within Shikamaru to snap as he surged up to his feet, picking you up and tossing you onto the bed in one fluid motion.

“Fuck, you don’t know what you do to me baby boy.”

Your head was fuzzy, no thoughts crossing your brain as overwhelming pleasure built inside of you. The only sound you could hear was the subtle grunts from below you and your own whines of pleasure as rough hands gripped your hips, forcing your hole to swallow Shikamaru's full length. Even when you were fucking, his lazy nature caused you to do most of the work, even if at the moment you felt too weak to even lift yourself anymore.

He looked at you with such hunger, it was startling how much he truly wanted you. How much he needed you. How much he loved being inside of your warm, inviting hole.

"Fuck y/n," he groaned, burying his face into the crook of your neck, nipping and sucking at the skin there to leave as many marks as he pleased. His hips rutted up into yours to meet your hips in an almost desperate maneuver. And desperate he was. No matter how dominant he wanted to look or feel, he caved when it came to the feeling of you swallowing him whole.

You could feel every inch of him inside you, filling you up to the brim until you couldn't think of anything but how good you felt. Every drag of his cock along your walls sent a spasm through your body almost like an electric shock. His lips attacking your neck caused another filthy moan to leave your mouth and a smirk to plaster itself to his face.

"Feels so good inside you, so good. Wanna feel like this all the time. You wanna feel like this too, right baby?"

The only response was your babbling, tears had started to form again from the pure pleasure. He took that as his 'yes' before he finally had enough. The sight of your tears has sent him into a frenzy. The second time tonight you had shed tears for him.

He flipped you both over so that you were now on your back, him hovering over you before he gripped your hips again, tight enough to surely leave marks, and slammed his cock into your gummy walls once more. Hitting your prostate, thrust after thrust, slowly dragging out his cock before violently thrusting back in to hit the same spot had you seeing stars. Your sweat drenched body was seizing up from every punch to your prostate, it felt like pure ecstasy was being injected into via his dick.

"Shi-Shika! Cuming, fuck, cuming."

He paid no mind, or more so, he sped up his thrusts just to push you over that edge even faster. And push you over it did, white seed shot out of the tip of your dick coating your chest in semen. His lips then attached themselves to your right nipple, rolling the bud around in his mouth as he continued to roughly fuck into your ass helping you to ride through your orgasm for the umpteenth time that evening.

Only when his own hips started to stutter did he start to slow down, his rhythm breaking down as he grew closer and closer to his own high.

"Y/N, love you so much, fuck, feel so good, love you," he moaned into the soft plush of your chest, having detached from your nipple to breath harshly into your skin. His hand then wrapped around your own weeping cock, dripping again from overstimulation. You didn't think you could take another orgasm, you were gonna die if he made you.

"Cum together."

It wasn't a plea, it was a demand, you will and you did. His thrusts mixed with his steady jerking of your cock caused you to cum once again as he filled your hole with his own cum. A few more thrusts and then his body collapsing onto yours followed by a soft and tired chuckle from him.

"That...that was fun," he panted softly, his eyes closed but smiling at you none the less. You could only nod, knowing he couldn't see but feel you do so. His hands slid up to your face as his eyes opened slowly before he leaned over with great effort to place a gentle peck on your lips, "Love you so much Y/N."

"I love you too, Shikamaru."

✵ Evan Peters x GN!Reader - “Away for Christmas”

12 Days of Evan Peters - Day 4

Summary: Evan has to leave for a month and won’t be home for Christmas, leaving you on your own for the first time during the festive season.

Word count: 706

"Do you really have to go?" I whined, coming up behind Evan and wrapping my around around his waist, my cheek flush against his back as I squeezed him tightly.

"But it's Christmas," I mumbled, burying my sad face in his chest and breathing in his scent, like I was never going to see him again.

"We'll celebrate after, okay? It'll just be our little Christmas," he reassured me, leaning down and kissing me softly on the head, resting his chin there when I wouldn't let him go.

I finally stepped away, wiping under my eyes as tears began to stream down my face. Evan pursed his lips, cupping my face and using his thumbs to dry my tears. He looked so upset seeing me cry, and I knew it wasn't fair because he didn't want to leave me, and his job was important.

"Don't cry baby," he mumbled, kissing me on the lips and pulling away again to look down at my face.

"I'm just being stupid, I'll see you again in a month. I just- I'm gonna miss you," I almost sobbed out, leaning in again and hugging him. He chuckled softly, wrapping his arms around me again.

"I'm gonna miss you too Y/N, so much," he said into my hair, leaving more kisses there.

"We have to go to the airport now baby, my flight leaves in an hour," he had to claw me off him, laughing as he took his suitcase into the driveway and packed it into the car.

I followed him sadly, sitting in the passenger seat with my arms crossed over my chest as he started the car.

"Don't look so grumpy my angel, I'll be back before you know it," he set a hand down on my thigh as he began to drive to their airport, the reality of him leaving sinking in now that we were on our way.

I tried to put on the brave face on the car ride over, playing my music loud and singing along. Evan seemed happy, singing along with me and his hand never leaving my thigh.

Once we’d gotten to the airport and through to domestic departure, Evan held me in his arms so tightly, my face in his chest once again.

“It’ll be okay, I’ll see you so soon,” Evan murmured in my hair, before pulling away and holding me at arms length.

I couldn’t help the tears falling down my face, Evan looking absolutely heartbroken at how upset I was. He knew this was the first Christmas we’d spent apart since we first got together.

“I’ll call you everyday,” he said, wiping away my tears with the sleeve of his jumper, “I’ll send you flowers every week,” he kissed my head again, “and I’ll tell you where your Christmas present is hidden on Christmas Day. Don’t go looking for it,” he smiled at me, leaning in and kissing me.

I melted into the kiss, pulling him close, wrapping my arms around his neck as tears continued to fall, some into our kiss making it slightly salty.

“I love you Ev, have a safe flight, make sure you text me when you land,” I just got out, now wiping away my own tears as Evan held the handle of his suitcase to walk to the gate.

“I love you Y/N, I promise,” he said, blowing a kiss as he walked away.

I watched as he walked towards airport staff, waiting in line to show his ticket. I couldn’t help it, I chased after him for a final hug.

“Y/N!” Evan laughed as I hugged him again, really not wanting to let go. But I did, and then watched him disappear into the terminal, not without waving and blowing me kisses.

I stood for a moment in silence, almost expecting him to say it was a cruel prank and he was staying. But when time passed and there was no sight of him, I knew I had to accept that this is how I’d be spending Christmas this year, alone - and in our home.

Decoding the Software Consulting Market: A Sassy Dive into the Billion-Dollar World

In a world dominated by tech jargon and mind-numbing reports, we’re here to unravel the tangled web of the Global Software Consulting Market. Forget about “Unveiling” and “Navigating”; we’re just here for a sarcastic stroll through the billion-dollar landscape of codes and consultants.

The Dollar Dance:

So, apparently, the Global Software Consulting Market is doing a cha-cha with dollars, and it’s no joke. Starting at a measly USD 244.44 billion in 2021, it’s gearing up to break the dance floor with a whopping USD 706 billion by 2030. Now, that’s a growth rate of 12.5%, which is basically the market equivalent of a teenager’s growth spurt.

Why the Software Samba?

Why this extravagant growth, you ask? Well, blame it on the global obsession with digitalization. Everyone’s trying to be the cool kid with the latest tech, and companies are throwing money at software solutions like it’s confetti at a party. From data analytics to cloud computing, it’s a tech frenzy out there.

The Market Mood Swings:

But hey, it’s not all rainbows and unicorns in Software Consulting Land. The market has its fair share of mood swings. Meeting client expectations, handling cultural differences (because apparently, even codes have cultural nuances), and dodging the relentless hackers trying to crash the party — it’s a tough gig.

Market Snapshot — Hold On to Your Hats:

Let’s take a quick snapshot, shall we? The market was valued at USD 244.44 billion, and the big shots in the game are the Large Enterprises, claiming over 60% of the market share. It’s like the VIP section of a club, but for companies.

The Fastest Groove:

Now, what’s grooving the fastest in this dance party? Wearable/Externally Worn is stealing the spotlight. Move over, implantables; it’s time for the wearables to shine.

Segmental Shenanigans:

The market is playing hard to get with its segments. Enterprise Solutions are strutting at the top with over 21% market share. And guess who’s the drama queen? Software Security Services, growing at the speed of light thanks to the rising trend of remote work and the fear of cyberattacks.

Global Dominance:

North America is the undisputed king of this software kingdom, holding over 30% of the market revenue share. The U.S. is the cool kid in the block party, leading the tech parade with CRM, ERP, and cloud services.

For More Information: https://www.skyquestt.com/report/software-consulting-market

The Rise of the Underdogs:

But hey, don’t underestimate the underdogs. Asia-Pacific is catching up, with governments in the region supporting all things software. E-commerce is their secret weapon, and they’re not afraid to use it.

Market Drivers and Pit Stops:

Cloud computing, digital transformation, and data analytics are the speed bumps and accelerators of this software race. But watch out for budget constraints, talent shortages, and the high competition curve — they’re the potholes waiting to trip you up.

The Competitive Dance Floor:

In this cutthroat world, the top players are pulling out all the stops. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Accenture, Capgemini — it’s like the Avengers of the software consulting world. Partnerships, acquisitions, and AI-driven innovations are the weapons of choice.

Recent Moves on the Dance Floor:

Infosys bought Cobalt Software, Accenture swiped Symphony RetailAI, and Capgemini did the tango with Everis. It’s a market full of mergers and acquisitions, like a tech version of a soap opera.

Key Market Trends — Where’s the Fun?

Industry-specific expertise is the cool kid in class, remote consulting is the rebel without a desk, and AI-driven consulting is the geek who suddenly became the prom king.

Conclusion — The After-Party:

In conclusion, the Global Software Consulting Market is a wild ride. It’s not all glitz and glamour; there are hurdles, setbacks, and a fair share of nerdy moments. But hey, it’s a party worth attending — just make sure your software is updated, and you’ve got a good antivirus, because this dance floor can get wild. Cheers to the billion-dollar bash!

Is the online ride-hailing market saturated?

In recent times, with the changes HE Tuber in the market, we often hear discussions about the "saturation" of the online ride-hailing market. So how should online ride-hailing platforms respond to challenges, or how should they optimize their business strategies? In this article, the author explains the development of the online ride-hailing market and online ride-hailing platforms. Let’s take a look.

After the epidemic subsided, Chinese people’s enthusiasm for travel was completely ignited. In the first half of this year, whether it was the Spring Festival Golden Week or the May Day and Dragon Boat Festival holidays, the tourism market was booming. The number of tourists increased explosively, and related industries such as travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, and scenic spots also successfully recovered.

However, online ride-hailing, which is also an important supporting industry in the tourism industry, has developed an "inverted V-shaped" growth curve: order volume soared in the first quarter. Unfortunately, the growth rate fell sharply soon and failed to maintain the upward trend. Coupled with the sluggish job market in the past year, a large number of flexible employees have poured into the online ride-hailing industry. Reports of a decline in the average daily order volume and an oversupply of online ride-hailing have frequently appeared on the screen.

In addition, policy changes have also added a touch of uncertainty to the future of the online ride-hailing industry.

On June 26, Hangzhou issued the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Online Taxi Booking Operations" and the "Technical Standards for Online Booking Taxi Vehicles" to further raise the threshold for online car-hailing operations: vehicles used to operate online car-hailing business must be new from the factory. This policy will be implemented on July 17 for new energy pure electric vehicles or non-new energy pure electric vehicles with a taxable price of more than 150,000 yuan.

Faced with the above multiple challenges, how should online ride-hailing platforms respond?

1. Order growth dropped to single digits, and online ride-hailing hit the ceiling again

Turning the clock back to the beginning of this year, the online ride-hailing market is still booming.

According to data from the Ministry of Transport’s Online Ride-hailing Supervision Information Interaction System, the number of online ride-hailing orders nationwide in January this year was 576 million, a month-on-month increase of 14.1%, halting two consecutive declines at the end of last year. In the following two months, taking advantage of the Spring Festival Golden Week and the large-scale resumption of work and production across the country, the order volume further increased to 652 million and 716 million, which can be said to be a perfect start.

In the past April and May, sandwiched between the May Day holiday, which is the most popular in the post-epidemic period, the number of online ride-hailing orders nationwide was 706 million and 735 million respectively. You know, in the depressed year of 2022, there are only two peak seasons in January and August when the order volume exceeds 700 million. Before the first half of 2023 is over, the order volume has reached 700 million in three months, giving many online ride-hailing platforms and drivers a shot in the arm.

However, upon closer inspection, this growth momentum also appears to be weakening.

On the one hand, in the first five months of this year, order volume increased by 14.1%, 13.3%, 9.7%, -1.4% and 4.2% respectively month-on-month, and the overall growth rate showed a downward trend. The growth performance in April and May was particularly disappointing - it was also from this time that discussions about the inclusion of online ride-hailing drivers and the decline in average daily orders began to become popular on major social platforms.

On the other hand, the performance of several leading platforms is also unstable, with more and more platforms experiencing month-on-month declines in order volume.

According to the latest data released in May, half of the top 10 platforms have experienced a month-on-month decline in order volume, including Xiangdao Travel, Wanshun Ride-hailing, Shouqi Ride-hailing, Caocao Travel and Sunshine Travel. The largest decline among them was Sunshine Travel, with order volume decreasing by 15.2% month-on-month. Meituan Taxi, whose order volume plummeted 58% in April, fell out of the top ten in May.

Compared with 2022, the online ride-hailing market has definitely picked up, but the recovery momentum is not as strong as expected. The growth rate cannot be sustained due to many reasons, which can be summarized as follows: lack of new users, transport capacity approaching saturation, and the balance of supply and demand being broken.

Data also from the Ministry of Transport show that in the first five months of this year, the number of domestic companies that have obtained operating licenses for online ride-hailing platforms, and the number of online ride-hailing driver licenses and vehicle transportation licenses issued by various places have increased. As of the end of May, there were 313 online ride-hailing platforms across the country, a net increase of 13 from the beginning of the year; the number of online ride-hailing driver licenses and vehicle transportation licenses issued in various places were 5.584 million and 2.357 million respectively, an increase of 47% from January respectively. million and 190,000.

Compared with the total order volume, compliant vehicles and drivers have been growing steadily, and don’t forget that there are still a small number of drivers in the industry who do not have dual certificates. The total transport capacity is definitely higher than official statistics. There are too many monks and too little gruel. Drivers complain one after another, and the platform cannot turn a deaf ear. After the order volume growth slowed down, many platforms could only increase prices to restore blood to drivers.

Around the Spring Festival this year, Didi took the lead in raising starting prices and changing billing rules in Hangzhou, Shenzhen and other places. Among them, the starting price of express trains in Shenzhen increased by 0.5-0.9 yuan depending on different time periods and distances, and the price per kilometer of ultra-long-distance orders in the 30-40 km range in the main urban area increased by 0.1 yuan. In the Hangzhou area, starting prices have increased to varying degrees during off-peak hours on weekdays and during morning and evening peak hours. The highest increase is 0.7 yuan during morning peak hours, but prices have slightly decreased during off-peak hours at night and on holidays.

In the announcement sent to drivers, Didi bluntly stated that this adjustment can "further increase order revenue." However, this approach is tantamount to passing on cost pressure to users, which is likely to affect the latter's frequency and willingness to take taxis, especially short-distance orders.

Balancing the interests of platforms, drivers, and users has always been a difficult problem for the online ride-hailing industry. It is difficult for the three parties to reach agreement on many issues. But it is undeniable that the initiative has always been in the hands of the platform. After the growth rate slows down, the next step can only be decided by the platform.

China's Growing Ride-Hailing Industry: Latest Statistics on Drivers, Orders and Major App Compliance

<h1>Ride-hailing in China - The Latest Stats</h1> <p>According to the Ministry of Transport, ride-hailing in China is still growing. But how does it work, and what do the latest numbers say? Let's break it down:</p> <h2>More Companies, More Drivers and Cars</h2> <p>As of the end of April, there were 309 approved ride-hailing companies across China - up slightly from last month. Local authorities have also issued over 5.4 million licenses to drivers and over 2.3 million vehicle permits. That's small increases from March of around 3-4% more drivers and vehicles on the road.</p> <h2>Total Orders Dip Slightly</h2> <p>In April alone, the regulating bodies received over 706 million ride orders from customers. While that's a huge number, it was actually down around 1.5% from March. So order volume saw a small monthly decrease.</p> <h2>App Compliance Rankings</h2> <p>The top ten apps were ranked based on how many orders were placed for licensed drivers and cars. DiDi came out on top, followed by apps like Happy Ridesharing, T3 Rides, and others. Some apps like Happy Rides and T3 Rides increased their compliance rates, while DiDi, Caocao Rides, and Meituan Taxi saw small declines.</p> <h2>Aggregator Apps and Cities</h2> <p>Aggregator apps that work with multiple companies had around 196 million orders - also down slightly from March. DiDi topped the compliance ratings for aggregators like it does overall. Finally, the report found that Hangzhou had the highest compliance rates, while Kunming was the lowest among major cities.</p> <h2>In Summary...</h2> <p>While ride-hailing demand dipped a touch, the overall industry continues expanding in China with more drivers and platforms. Compliance also seems to be improving for most major apps. The regulators will keep monitoring this evolving sector closely.</p>

Blog Post 5 Session 5 - SEMIOTICS

30/10/2023

This course covers the meaning and importance of logos. Logos not only play a role in identifying and conveying information in appearance, but I think when used effectively, they more prominently reflect a sense of social responsibility and the changes of the times.“The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs... Whenever a sign is present, ideology is present too. (Barnard,M.1996)

Take animals, for example, in the previous story. Herbivores will be portrayed as benevolent animals, while carnivores will be portrayed as villains. Because herbivores are controlled by humans, they give people a symbol of docility, while carnivores often have a symbol of ferocity. The most representative animals of villains are wolves and foxes. The villains in "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs" are wolves. In the past, fairy tales, while still obsessed with the extension of aesthetic pleasure, tended to associate beauty with moral behaviour. (Campbell, J. 2021)

But with the development of society, stories with wolves as the protagonists include "Wolf's Dream", and stories with foxes as the protagonists include "Zootopia" because today's society has changed from letting people do the right thing to tolerance and tolerance. Respect the existence of multiculturalism. This will cause some symbols to start changing. Therefore, symbols are actually in sync with the development of the times.
