Hello Redditors,
This is an incredible success story of how we helped a client achieve incredible results in just four months, generating an $80,000 return on investment (ROI) with a combination of SEO and Facebook Ads. We have completed many successful projects and there's a certain satisfaction in seeing our strategies translate to such tangible growth. I have tried to keep this post extremely detailed so that it can be beneficial for experienced marketers and newcomers alike.
The Client: Hair Extension E-commerce Brand
Revenue Split Between SEO and Fb ads: 3:2
Average Order Value: $350
Total Revenue(6 months): $140,000
Expenses(6 months): Product Cost + Delivery cost + Team + Agency Fees + Ads Cost+ Website Optimization + Packaging: $60000
Basic Company Background:
The brand was being run by a Mother-Daughter duo for the past 3 months. They had a shopify website with average structure and were struggling with facebook ads themselves. Although they made few physical sales due to friends and relatives but were unable to utilize the digital potential of their business as such. After trying facebook ads for some time they wanted a reliable digital marketing team to work with and they were recommended to us by one of our other customers who has a service based business. Initially we connected majorly for facebook ads but after the initial discussion when were doing research from our side, we found that there is huge potential in SEO for this niche so we suggested that we should prepare a proper website on wordpress and focus on both SEO and Ads parallelly as, although Ads will give an initial boost to the business but SEO will bring some stability and help in building a sustainable business.
Facebook Ads Campaign Structure:

• Our campaign housed multiple ad sets targeting users who are interested in fashion products and we also targeted audiences of some big and costly fashion companies. We were mostly targeting females aged 25-45 with good income source to have optimal conversions in the beginning, with our Seo efforts we planned to target a slightly younger audience as well which is going steadily as of now.
• We ran occasional promotions like "Buy x get x free" to boost AOV.
• Due to the high AOV and especially the product niche sometimes it is necessary to build trust so we used retargeting to build trust and showcase benefits, not just push for immediate conversions. Ads focused on comparison(Before & Afters), Customer Reviews, Hassle free product application and natural look, stylish look.

Ads Creatives and Brand Positioning:
It's important to note that after deep research we could find that a major share our hair extensions customers are females aged between 21-45 so we did not actively position our brand as solving problems of low hair volume, but instead we focused on how the products ads style, gives a much better look and you can try new hairstyles and hair colors daily. Also since almost all the demographics in this age group are working, we tested a professional look angle as well which gave us decent results. In ad creatives as well as on the website we made the daughter as the face of the product as we want to slowly grow her instagram as well which can add another organic and sustainable stream of revenue. She shoots before and after transition videos, general product application videos and other videos for ads according to the target audience and brand positioning strategy we discussed earlier. Instead of making long videos focused on product details a lot, we made short but captivating videos which can appeal to the young audience’s fashion sense.
Key Takeaways from FB Ads:
Mostly Meta Ads or Any other marketing tactic is just a traffic source but conversion will basically happen by how well you are able to communicate your product to the audience through your website. Its is necessary to have a smooth user journey, attractive offers, crisp information and right brand positioning on the website.
It is extremely important to make data driven decisions and track customer journeys meticulously. Always rely on your own tracking or google analytics to avoid the potential unreliability of Facebook Ads Manager.
Seo Strategy
If you don’t already know this, SEO is all about how effectively you can strategize your content and technical efforts keeping a bigger picture in mind. After our initial keyword research we could find that the average Kd of the important keywords was low when it comes to commercial keywords which were directly related to the business.
It's important to note that since the website was being built after our onboarding only so it was easy for us to structure the website according to the SEO strategy that we prepared.
At every stage we had meetings with the developer to ensure that there are no technical issues that will hinder the SEO growth and future and also we structured the website to be SEO friendly. We built separate pages for all the product categories and after through keyword research we added content to those pages so that the pages itself can rank for commercial keywords.
After the website was ready we audited it for technical issues(Like mobile friendliness, H1 tags, canonical tags, etc) we started focusing on the content. We wanted to establish our website as a trusted authority in the hair extensions and hair care industry in general.
Since the website was completely new, initially we created blogs(2-3 times per week) around informational keywords with low KD purely for increasing our website authority and bringing the initial traffic on the website. We have seen that usually people start stressing about approaching big websites for guest postings since the first day itself but if your keyword research and content is solid, that is not required in the beginning. Initially we focused on profile creations, image submissions, pdf submissions, internal linking in the content, web 2.0 backlinks etc and this was more than enough for us to rank for low difficulty keywords and increase our DA to a decent level so that our category pages can rank for low difficulty keywords.
Here I would like to include a tip, many times people are worried that what if the backlink that they have created doesn't get indexed. In the initial phase we work really hard when it comes to what we call as maturing our backlinks as this is the major factor for ranking on low difficulty keywords. So basically what we do is, we make backlinks of our web 2.0 backlinks itself which helps the primary backlink in getting indexed which ultimately helps with our website DA.
Also many people have been asking us in our previous posts how we structure our blog since I talk a lot about content quality, see it's not as hard and it doesn't involve a lot of research at least in the initial phase when you just have to rank on low difficulty keywords. In this phase usually what we do is study the top 5 ranking blogs on the particular keyword and make sure that we include more content and more subheadings then them. Also we try to find opportunities to include tables or charts wherever possible, we include good quality images(original if possible) and at this stage internal linking is very very important so we focus on that as well. In later stages although the basic strategy for framing the blogs remains same, overall content strategy varies a lot from business to business and requires a lot of strategizing depending on the brand positioning goals.
So after we were able to rank for low difficulty informational keywords and our Website DA reached a decent level due to our backlinking efforts, we started writing content around the fashion advice and common problems which people face related to hair in general. But as discussed earlier, we wanted to keep our brand positioning fashion centric, so even while writing about common problems we applied a positive and solution centric approach. We strategically placed internal links to our product pages in the content and tested popups with offers as well. Apart from this, we started guest posting as well at this stage. For finding websites for guest posting we used SEMrush’s backlink gap analysis tool and created a segregated list of blogs that we can reach out to based on their content quality and DA. By this time the store started generating decent revenue from ads and SEO so the client was completely onboard with reaching out to blogs for guest posting. Guest posting and overall strategic SEO application started generating a good amount of traffic for us and in 3-4 months the revenue generated due to SEO surpassed our Ads revenue as well.
Advantages of Combining SEO and Paid Ads
While Facebook Ads played a crucial role in launching the brand and driving initial traffic, SEO has emerged as the primary driver of sustainable growth. This approach allowed us to:

• Reduce Reliance on Paid Advertising: As our SEO efforts matured, we were able to gradually decrease our Facebook ad spend, resulting in cost savings and improved return on investment.
• Build Brand Authority: Our SEO strategy has positioned our website as a trusted authority in the hair extensions industry. This fosters brand recognition and trust, leading to organic customer acquisition.
• Scale Traffic and Revenue: Organic traffic growth has been exponential, leading to a significant and sustainable increase in website revenue generated through SEO.

SEO efforts are always ongoing but we are really satisfied with the base that we have built and we are really looking forward to working with keywords with higher KD and generating more revenue with SEO In the upcoming months. Although we will keep running ads in future as well mostly for awareness purposes but the major revenue will be generated from our SEO efforts. Apart from this, as we mentioned earlier, we are looking to actively start the Social Media efforts as well from the next month itself. We will be looking to target Instagram and Tiktok in the initial phase and we believe in 2-3 months social media will contribute towards 25% of our revenue which will grow rapidly.

This is where, for fun and education, we play alongside Thomas on T3BE questions from the multistate bar exam.
The correct answer to last "week"'s public question will be edited in when I have a chance. For now the answer and explanation can be found in the episode itself.
Scores updates to come when I have a chance!
Rules:

• You have until next week's T3BE goes up to answer this question, (get your answers in by the end of this coming Sunday US Pacific time at the latest in other words). The next RT2BE will go up not long after.
  
• You may simply comment with what choice you've given, though more discussion is encouraged!
  
• Feel free to discuss anything about RT2BE/T3BE here. However if you discuss anything about the question itself please use spoilers to cover that discussion/answer so others don't look at it before they write their own down.
  
  • Type it exactly like this >!Answer E is Correct!<, and it will look like this: Answer E is Correct
  • Do not put a space between the exclamation mark and the text! In new reddit/the official app this will work, but it will not be in spoilers for those viewing in old reddit!
• Even better if you answer before you listen to what Thomas' guess was!

AI's contribution in optimizing inventory management and logistics

Introduction

In the fast-paced world of commerce, efficient inventory management and logistics are crucial for business success. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in this arena, offering advanced solutions to optimize operations. This article delves into the role of AI in enhancing inventory management and logistics, highlighting its benefits, applications, and future trends.

Understanding AI in Inventory Management and Logistics

AI encompasses a range of technologies, including machine learning, predictive analytics, and automation, that can process and analyze vast amounts of data to make intelligent decisions. In the context of inventory management and logistics, AI helps streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve accuracy and efficiency.

The Role of AI in Inventory Management

Predictive Analytics for Demand Forecasting

One of the most significant contributions of AI to inventory management is predictive analytics. By analyzing historical data, current trends, and external factors, AI can accurately forecast demand. This helps businesses maintain optimal inventory levels, avoiding both overstocking and stockouts. Predictive analytics also enables companies to anticipate seasonal fluctuations and adjust their inventory accordingly.

Automated Replenishment Systems

AI-driven automated replenishment systems can monitor inventory levels in real-time and trigger reorders when stock falls below a predetermined threshold. This automation reduces the risk of human error and ensures that inventory is always available to meet customer demand. It also frees up employees to focus on more strategic tasks, enhancing overall productivity.

Inventory Optimization

AI can optimize inventory by identifying slow-moving and fast-moving items, helping businesses make informed decisions about product placement and stock levels. Through sophisticated algorithms, AI analyzes sales data, lead times, and carrying costs to recommend the best inventory strategies. This optimization minimizes waste and improves cash flow.

Real-Time Inventory Tracking

Real-time inventory tracking is another area where AI excels. Using technologies like RFID and IoT sensors, AI can provide up-to-the-minute information on inventory status. This visibility helps businesses manage their stock more effectively, reducing the risk of lost or misplaced items and improving order fulfillment rates.

AI in Logistics

Route Optimization

In logistics, AI plays a crucial role in route optimization. By analyzing traffic patterns, weather conditions, and delivery schedules, AI can determine the most efficient routes for delivery vehicles. This reduces fuel consumption, lowers transportation costs, and ensures timely deliveries, enhancing customer satisfaction.

Warehouse Management Systems

AI-powered warehouse management systems (WMS) streamline warehouse operations by automating tasks such as sorting, picking, and packing. These systems use machine learning algorithms to improve warehouse layout and workflow, maximizing space utilization and reducing handling times. AI also helps in tracking inventory within the warehouse, ensuring accurate stock levels.

Autonomous Vehicles and Drones

AI is driving the adoption of autonomous vehicles and drones in logistics. Autonomous trucks and delivery vans can operate around the clock, reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency. Drones, on the other hand, offer a rapid delivery option for small parcels, especially in hard-to-reach areas. These innovations are transforming the logistics landscape, making deliveries faster and more reliable.

Benefits of AI in Inventory Management and Logistics

Improved Accuracy and Efficiency

AI enhances the accuracy of inventory management and logistics operations. By reducing human error and automating repetitive tasks, AI ensures that inventory records are precise and up-to-date. This accuracy leads to better decision-making and more efficient operations.

Cost Reduction

Implementing AI in inventory management and logistics can significantly reduce costs. Automated systems lower labor expenses, while predictive analytics and route optimization minimize inventory carrying costs and transportation expenses. These savings can be reinvested into other areas of the business, driving growth and profitability.

Enhanced Customer Satisfaction

AI contributes to improved customer satisfaction by ensuring that products are available when needed and deliveries are made on time. Real-time tracking and efficient order fulfillment processes enhance the overall customer experience, leading to higher retention rates and increased brand loyalty.

Case Studies of AI in Inventory Management and Logistics

Amazon's Use of AI in Warehousing

Amazon is a pioneer in using AI to optimize its warehousing operations. The company's fulfillment centers use AI-powered robots to move items, reducing the time it takes to process orders. AI algorithms also help Amazon predict demand and manage inventory levels, ensuring that products are always available for quick shipment.

Walmart's Predictive Analytics

Walmart leverages AI-driven predictive analytics to manage its vast inventory. By analyzing data from sales, weather forecasts, and other external factors, Walmart can anticipate demand and adjust its inventory levels accordingly. This approach has helped the retail giant reduce stockouts and overstock situations, improving efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Challenges and Considerations

Data Privacy and Security

One of the main challenges of implementing AI in inventory management and logistics is ensuring data privacy and security. Businesses must protect sensitive information from cyber threats and comply with data protection regulations. Robust security measures and regular audits are essential to maintain the integrity of AI systems.

Implementation Costs

While AI offers significant benefits, the initial implementation costs can be high. Businesses need to invest in technology, infrastructure, and training to integrate AI into their operations. However, the long-term savings and efficiency gains often outweigh the initial expenditure.

Future Trends in AI and Logistics

The future of AI in inventory management and logistics looks promising. Advancements in machine learning, IoT, and robotics will continue to drive innovation in this field. Businesses can expect more sophisticated AI systems that offer even greater accuracy, efficiency, and cost savings. Additionally, the integration of AI with other technologies, such as blockchain, will enhance transparency and traceability in supply chains.

Conclusion

AI is revolutionizing inventory management and logistics, offering businesses the tools they need to optimize their operations. From predictive analytics and automated replenishment systems to route optimization and autonomous vehicles, AI enhances accuracy, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. While there are challenges to overcome, the benefits of AI make it a valuable investment for businesses looking to stay competitive in today's fast-paced market.

I just crave to be normal, yet wild and free. I want to make memories, until my life is debris. I wish the best for everyone, whomever it may be. As I write this poem, I hope it makes you smile. I hope reading this poem is considered worthwhile. Just don't judge me by the way I dress. Why must I always hope for the best? It's such a disappointment, to say the least. Why must I always leave someone ELSE pleased? I hate my life, I really do. So why must I clutch onto it, Clutch onto YOU? You abuse your own blood, you break us down. Then my mind starts to flood, in my own thoughts I drown. As I sit in this eternal water prison, I think about the things might be missing. I think about the adrenaline of pure joy. But then I think about how you can be so, so coy. Why do you do this to me? Why do I still try?
Why do you always have to make me cry?
I finish this poem with a sign-off from me.
It's only a few years.
You've got this, Lori.

Hello AcademicQuran! I am Hythem Sidky, Executive Director of the International Qurʾanic Studies Association (IQSA). My research interests are primarily the oral and written transmission of the Quran and pre-Islamic Arabia. I try to bring together textual and mathematical analysis in my work because I think there's a lot to be learned by approaching many questions in Islamic studies in a quantitative manner, where it is allowed. I am slow to write, but I have worked on early quranic manuscripts, the reading traditions, paleo-Arabic & early Islamic inscriptions, radiocarbon dating of quranic manuscripts, and stylometric analysis of the Quran. You can find most of my published work here: https://chicago.academia.edu/HythemSidky
I am not really a redditor, but I am happy to be here and to interact with you all. Please feel free to share your questions and I will start answering things tomorrow. Ask me anything!

i feel like im really creative, anytime im writing something i get this imaginative visuals of how i want to present my ideas in my brain but the only thing that limits me is that i know nothing about premiere pro except cutting and joining clips.
suggest me some video editing course available on yt for free which might help me.
Edit: my friend suggested me to watch gfxmentor's tutorials to learn the software but his videos are pretty old, almost 5 years old. so anyone who has learn from gfxmentor, will you give me some insight of whether it is worth or not at this time.

Hello everyone!
As the topic title says, I want to organize a group buying of Mobility 2.0 + eBook by Cali Move (links below).
Mobility 2.0 course:
https://www.calimove.com/p/mobility2
Mobility eBook:
https://www.calimove.com/p/mobility-e-book
I can't afford to buy it alone.
You can judge me, I don’t care. If you are not interested in group buying, please just pass by. Much appreciated.
So, I am looking for people interested in group buying of the course and eBook. If anyone is interested, DM me or simply write here, I will add you to a group chat.
We will equally split the costs of the course between everybody. The more people participate in our cooperative purchase, the less money everybody needs to invest.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE FIRST VERSION OF MOBILITY COURSE, DON'T PASS BY. Mobility 2.0 is much better than its previous version. You can read more in the reviews (links below):

TWINFLAMES #AWAKENING #KUNDALINI

Twin Flame Kundalini Activation: Signs of Kundalini Awakening
Spiritual Awakening can be a gentle process or sometimes it can be brought on intensely. More and more people are experiencing this awakening as we proceed through the cosmic energy that is literally activating our light bodies and our DNA. It can be a very confusing and even fear-filled process when we don’t understand what is happening. We are propelled into places both within and external that we have never before experienced. Many people have thought themselves going crazy or losing hold of reality and in a way that is true. This energy allows us to see the truth of the nature of our existence in human form. Veils are lifted and illumination takes place. They call this ‘Enlightenment”
Our kundalini energy lies dormant at the base of our spine, a slumbering snake in eternal sleep. It is said that our DNA was genetically altered at the time of our creation so that we would remain unaware of our own power as creators and to keep us imprisoned in this 3D construct. There is some in depth information on this and I will leave a link at the end for you to explore further. I just wanted to present a few of the signs and symptoms that indicate your kundalini has been activated.
In regards to twin flames, a part of the purpose of union is to activate the kundalini energy in each other for full union and expression of the third Divine energy the union creates. This activation is key as many of the twins have one twin at a slightly accelerated rate of vibration than the other. I believe this is why there is the separation phase once they find each other. They both need to readjust and assimilate this new energy activation and come to a place of balance and awareness individually. This activation forces them to do all the necessary shedding, clearing and healing of anything that no longer serves their shared purpose. Understanding what you are going through can make the journey a little less confusing and uncomfortable.
It helps to know that all the crazy things you are going through are actually Divinely intended at this time and will bring you into alignment for your ascension.
Some symptoms in no particular order:
Seeing/Feeling Energy: seeing orbs of light within peripheral vision…prickly or tingling sensations…a pulsing, tremor or vibrating sensation, tracers, after images among objects or people…unexplained warmth in the hands or feet…seeing colors of frequency. Emotional Upheaval: You will experience the extreme polarity of emotions moving from euphoria to depression as if your emotions are completely out of your control. This is the result of your hormones changing through your endocrine system. Identity Crisis: An isolation builds where you can no longer understand yourself, who you are, what is your path or reality itself. It is the essence of dissociation. There becomes a deep fear that you cannot deal with material reality as everyone around you is still in illusion. This is where the ego starts losing it’s bearings over your consciousness. The Urge to Create: You want to explore things creatively, cooking, music, art, poetry, writing etc. One instance of awakening is you are becoming more in tune with your subconscious and releasing the mind into the imagination. We create our reality with the power of our thoughts. This is the Universe giving us a sign to start creating literally and figuratively.
Increase in Psychic Abilities: When we awaken our senses, they not only become sharper but your intuition is guiding you more than you ever thought possible. You start to listen to your gut instinct…synchronicity and patterns become too strong to ignore…you start predicting events before they happen…knowing things before you you even knew them…precognitive dreaming.
In Tune with Celestial Events: When our consciousness changes we become more in tune with frequency and in turn the frequency of the earth. When we are aware we start to notice the subtle patterns especially during the moon phases and astrological alignments. Since everything is connected through the ripple effect, we are effected in magnitude during these events. Past Life Memories: Our long term memory is returning. These are deep suppressed memories within our soul blueprint and encoded in our DNA. We are seeing glimpses of who we were within various lifetimes. Past life memories for some occur in flashbacks, visions, daydreams or glimpse into the past. It is a memory so vivid and real that it brings confusion because you know it is not from this current time line.
Flashes into Other Realities: The feeling as if you are living in multiple realities at once or parallel lives. Time is more fluid as past, present and future merge as one. You will feel as if straddled between worlds or moving into different realities all together. It activates a very disoriented feeling of not being grounded because you are opening yourself to different timelines of perceived reality.
Seeing a Person’s True Form: It is like the concept of the mirror into seeing other’s reflections of their past lives through their own energy aura. As we become stronger, sometimes we can see loved ones or even strangers with a superimposed face enabling something from their past life or parallel life to come through to us. Anxiety/Panic Attacks: The flow of energy can be overwhelming as the ego loses it’s grip. This can cause your brain to move faster than the body enabling a concept called ‘black hole’ thinking. (please check out that link, it is important) Your perception is changing and with that comes a desire to fall into a cycle of past and future thinking enabling fear and loss.
No Low Vibes: There is an innate desire to surround yourself with ‘like minded’ people and healthy relationships. You simply cannot tolerate lower vibration environments, duality behavior or toxic unhealthy relationships any longer.Your body is longing to move away from the 3D dualistic concepts completely. You come into alignment with the higher energies of the new paradigm.
Rapid Synchronicity: Synchronicity begins increasing rapid;ly, certain number sequences begin to haunt you…11:11, 1212, 111, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777. You begin to experience increased deja-vu, dreams taking form or certain archetypal symbols appear in your life. The symbols work in a way that is similar to Jungian psychology. The symbols help awaken us.
Clarity of Communication: You feel more in tune listening to the silence. You are not going crazy, but you feel a desire to speak with this ‘inner voice’ or listen to the silence. Many experience meeting their spirit guides or having angelic communication this way. Channeling becomes innate and natural to us as we open ourselves up to being connected to the higher spiritual realms.
Time Dilation: The concept of how we view time changes completely. WE are operating from a a unified sense of past-present-future perception. The time is now. Your consciousness is striving for a present mindset. Time doesn’t feel like it has a structure anymore, it is very fluid. Left-brain Short Circuit: Consciousness is going through a rewiring of sorts, so everything our right hemisphere operates on will be heightened. This means our empathy, our spatial memory, psychic abilities and our ability to experience through vision will be magnified. Whereas the left hemisphere will tune down. Brain fog, memory lapses and no focus will be prevalent.
Feeling Disconnected: Your consciousness is wanting you to look within for answers. As your frequency shifts, your interests and relationships will change, you attract what you are. Old friendships and relationships will fall away for more soulful aligned relationships. We are releasing our karmic bonds from our soul family. Sometimes we must let go in order to grow and evolve. Looking Within: This could be a desire from out of the blue to mediate, talking to yourself or being more introspective with your thoughts rather than voicing your opinion all the time, hermit mode. You basically become more telepathic and in tune with your thought perceptions of the world around you. You are becoming an observer of your thoughts and feelings, a watcher between worlds.
Moments of Elation: Once you awaken you feel more at peace with yourself and your reality. This creates moments of bliss and euphoria. You are able to see beyond the illusions of separation and knowing that you are never alone. We are all connected and guided by the Universe within.

Hey! I work in the games industry. I'm young, and I've been making games since I was 10. My whole life has been centered around games, and learning how to make them. I'm seeing my skills become less and less useful due to the rise of AI, and I can see myself being fully replaced at a point unless I were to be managing people, or had my own AI driven business of game development or design.
I've been on the doom and gloom train for a while regarding AI (I know we all have at some point), but once I got over myself I started doing some future speculation: Lets face it: it's fairly likely that the vast majority of us (Programming, Art, Some of Design, Music) will be replaced by AI within 20 years. Upper management in design seems the most safe. I can see a lot of 'prompt writer' jobs within the design space, where in you would experiment with hundreds of game ideas/improvements a week. I'd imagine we will have engines that will be mostly, if not fully powered by AI, giving an easy interface or system to make, adjust and publish AI generated games. I feel this is the future of our industry, and it's probably human nature to make it a reality. There may be a programmer or two required at a job, but eventually this might be abstracted away so there's basically 0 code to look at, and everything is done by the AI according to your prompt. With a huge influx of products on the market in this possible future, I feel the game development space will be similar to amateur novel writing: an individual or a group, making another one of a thousand others that might catch on, or might not. Thousands will be fully released each year. There are probably a bunch of young, or new creators that will do something different but the vast majority will be the same trash. It will be a fully ideas driven industry, where the idea is everything. Implementation will be naught. People with short attention spans jumping from trending game, to trending game. These games being alive for a short period of time, but perhaps generate enough finance to give the creators an incentive to try again. A perpetual cycle.
All of this is of course complete speculation, but I feel like most of what I've described is possible to happen, maybe even likely to happen within the next 20 years. Are there any jobs with somewhat similar skills which may be fairly safe? I'm presuming not, and I'd need to make a business or something in order to survive (probably not games based), but I'd love to hear the subreddits ideas

disclaimer: sorry for the use of AI I could never express myself without it, I have severe dyslexia and and a list of ideas that needs to be expressed and i can’t get more then a paragraph of writing per hour some times due to this condission i also hope you enjoy my puzzle, (sorry for the lack of editing as well it is imposable for me to do in reasonable time)
Ethan Entropy constant: S_Eth = γ * k_B
where:

• S_Eth is the Ethan Entropy constant
• γ (gamma) is the Lorentz factor
• k_B is the Boltzmann constant

Lorentz factor (gamma): γ = 1 / √(1 — (v² / c²))
where:

• v is the velocity
• c is the speed of light

Speed of light: c = 3.0 × ¹⁰⁸ m/s
Boltzmann constant: k_B = 1.380649 × 10^-23 J/K
Number of particles: N = 1 × ¹⁰²³
Age of the universe: t0_years = 13.8 × ¹⁰⁹ years t0_seconds = t0_years * 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 (converted to seconds)
von Neumann entropy at rest: S_vN_rest = k_B * ln(N) [Ethan Entropy Time]
von Neumann entropy at near-light speed: S_vN_light = S_Eth * ln(N) [Ethan Entropy Time]
Conversion of relativistic entropy back to rest frame: S_vN_rest_converted = S_vN_light / γ [Ethan Entropy Time]
Total entropy evolution: S_total = ∫(S_vN_rest + S_vN_light) d(Ethan Entropy Time)

• Integrated over Ethan Entropy Time from 0 to t_max
• d(Ethan Entropy Time) is the Ethan Entropy Time step (e.g., 1 × ¹⁰⁶ Ethan Entropy Time units)

Example velocity: v = 0.9 * c (90% of the speed of light)
Consistency check: is_consistent = S_vN_rest — S_vN_rest_converted < 1 × 10^-9 (relative tolerance)
I am acknowledging the simplifications, however these simplifications are valid in this scenario. The purpose of an Ethan entropy constant is to explore how entropy changes under relativistic conditions. using the Ethan entropy constant agrees with the standard rest frame entropy. This comparison is meaningful if the concepts and calculations are properly attributed, providing a way to validate the novel ideas presented by Ethan (the article creator Ethan G Appleby). you know that Ethan entropy time can be Algebraically manipulated, I challenge you to have fun with that idea as long as you can follow the instructions on how to use with formulaic constancy. lastly this Ethan Entropy Time is what I would describe as groundbreaking in that it expresses time as entropy evolution instead of temporal units thus by integrating special relativity, thermodynamics and quantum information theory for understanding temporal evolution of physical systems.
more expressions:
Boltzmann constant in terms of Ethan Entropy constant and Lorentz factor: S_Eth * √(1 — (v² / c²)) = k_B
Derived from the Ethan Entropy constant equation
Total entropy evolution expanded: S_total = ln(N) * t_max * k_B * (1 + γ)

Speed of light formula: c = √(v² / (1 — (k_B / S_Eth)²))
Derived from the algebraic manipulation of the Ethan Entropy constant and Lorentz factor equations
Maximum Ethan Entropy Time: t_max = S_total / (ln(N) * k_B * (1 + γ))
Derived from the total entropy evolution expanded equation
Puzzle formula for this article:

S_total_twin = ∫(S_vN_acc + S_vN_dec) d(Ethan Entropy Time)
Integrated over Ethan Entropy Time from 0 to t_max, where d(Ethan Entropy Time) is the Ethan Entropy Time step.
The consistency check for the twin paradox:
is_consistent_twin = S_vN_rest — (S_vN_acc + S_vN_dec) / (γ_acc + γ_dec) < 1 × 10^-9 (relative tolerance)

Consistency check for the twin paradox: is_consistent_twin = S_vN_rest — (S_vN_acc + S_vN_dec) / (γ_acc + γ_dec) < 1 × 10^-9

1. Hawking temperature (T_H): T_H = ħ * c³ / (8 * π * G * M * k_B)
2. Hawking power (P_H): P_H = ħ * c⁶ / (15360 * π * G² * M²)
3. Entropy evolution due to black hole evaporation (S_evaporation): S_evaporation(EET_max, S_Eth) = ∫₀ᴱᴱᵀ_ᵐᵃˣ (P_H / T_H) * (EET / S_Eth) dEET

Total entropy evolution (S_total): S_total = S_vN_acc + S_vN_dec + S_evaporation(EET_max, S_Eth_acc)

A solution to the puzzle:
S_total = S_vN_acc + S_vN_dec + ∫_0^EET_max ((P_H / T_H) * (EET / S_Eth_acc)) d(EET)
where:

• S_total: total entropy evolution (J/K)

• P_H: Hawking power (W)
• T_H: Hawking temperature (K)
• EET: Ethan Entropy Time (s)
• EET_max: maximum Ethan Entropy Time (s)
• S_Eth_acc: Ethan Entropy constant during acceleration (J/K)

The von Neumann entropies during acceleration and deceleration are calculated as:

• S_vN_acc = S_Eth_acc * ln(N)
• S_vN_dec = S_Eth_dec * ln(N)

where:

• S_Eth_acc = γ_acc * k_B
• S_Eth_dec = γ_dec * k_B
• γ_acc: Lorentz factor during acceleration
• γ_dec: Lorentz factor during deceleration
• k_B: Boltzmann constant (J/K)
• N: number of particles

The Hawking temperature and power are given by:

• T_H = (ℏ * c³) / (8 * π * G * M * k_B)
• P_H = (ℏ * c⁶) / (15360 * π * G² * M²)

where:

• ℏ: reduced Planck constant (J * s)
• c: speed of light (m/s)
• G: gravitational constant (m³ / (kg * s²))
• M: mass of the black hole (kg)

The integral term represents the entropy change due to black hole evaporation over the Ethan Entropy Time from 0 to EET_max.
The consistency check for the twin paradox is given by: is_consistent_twin = S_vN_rest — (S_vN_acc + S_vN_dec) / (γ_acc + γ_dec) < 1e-9
where:

• S_vN_rest = k_B * ln(N) is the von Neumann entropy at rest.

Thus I left you with an equated expression for von Neumann entropy and Bekenstein-Hawking entropy inside the puzzle formula and answer and the following implications for the black hole information paradox
to the black hole information paradox from there from the speeds. leaning to near light speeds where the entropy as von Neumann decreases as Bekenstein-Hawking entropy increases as a sort of equilibrium
Neumann entropy, incorporating the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy:
S_vN_t = (k_B ln(N) + k_B c³ (4πR_s²) / (4G ℏ)) / (1 / √(1 — (v / c)²))
where:

• S_vN_t is the von Neumann entropy at relativistic speed (J/K)
• k_B is the Boltzmann constant (J/K)
• N is the number of particles
• c is the speed of light (m/s)
• R_s is the Schwarzschild radius (m), given by R_s = 2GM / c²
• G is the gravitational constant (m³ kg^-1 s^-2)
• ℏ (hbar) is the reduced Planck constant (J s)
• v is the velocity (m/s)

The new parts to humanity in this formula are:

1. The combination of the von Neumann entropy with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.
2. The inclusion of the Lorentz factor to account for relativistic effects on the entropy.

S_Eth(t) = (-A + √(A² + 4 * B)) / 2
where:

• A = P_H * EET_max² / (2 * T_H * I_r)
• B = (S_total — I_v) / I_r
• P_H = (ħ * c⁶) / (15360 * π * G² * M²)
• T_H = (ħ * c³) / (8 * π * G * M * k_B)
• I_v = ∫[0 to t_max] k_B * ln(N) * (1 / √(1 — (v(t)² / c²))) dt
• I_r = ∫[0 to t_max] 4 * G * M / (r(t) * c²) dt

The variables used in the equation and their descriptions are:

• t: Time (s)
• S_Eth(t): Ethan entropy as a function of time (J/K)
• P_H: Hawking power (W)

Last September, I started AirMedia with the goal of streamlining social media marketing for companies. Didn't have any money to invest so had to learn most of the things by myself.
Fast forward until today, we finished the platform and sold a few lifetime deals before the product is even out. Here's what happened:

• Learned how to design (still not at the professional level tho)
  
• Learned how to develop a no-code MVP on bubble to test out our idea on the market. This is a continuous process where, once the basics were covered, I basically had to google each problem as I was trying to solve them.
  
• Started getting the first designs
  
• Developed a first draft of our platform on Bubble
  
• Saw OpenAI devday in November and how I could make the platform dynamic (you create your content, analyse your posts and schedule them directly from the chat) - Dynamic UI
  
• Back to design
  
• Realised bubble was not performant enough for our specific use-case (still would vouch for it for the majority of other projects)
  
• Hired a co-founder to have the main app custom-code while keeping all the other pages on bubble for now
  
• Started working on marketing and grew the waitlist to several 100s users
  
• Implemented upsells and sold a few lifetime deals
  

Now we're on the brink of launching to our waitlist, we will then explore marketplaces & directories and more traditional product launches websites such as PH. In parallel, we'll keep focussing on social media marketing using our platform which allows us to put out there a huge volume of (good) content.
However, I realise although all this will allow us to get more and more users as well as the virality that is built-in within our pricings (we have a free plan where AirMedia's social accounts are tagged when our users create posts); a decent marketing budget would be helpful to add some speed.
So now I'm looking to sell my skills as I've walked the path of developing on bubble and got a good grasp of it over the last 9 months. Looking to grow our marketing budget by doing so to have more impact at Launch Day.
I'm motivated and would probably finish your MVP in less than two weeks for a fraction of what you could pay other developpers.
Link to our platform for those that wanna check out the work; any feedback or criticism is welcomed :

Thank you for this universe!
And many thanks to for being a full co-writer on this project!
Kaeden and Vichee belongs to and I thank them so much for working with us! It was an honor!
Sven belongs to Bjorn the Copper Paladin from Discord. I hope to do more with them in the future, and have tons of fun!
And don’t you worry about that final in the title! We have some news at the end!

{Is the reason that everything happened to Tarlim in the first place?}

{Only up to the ramps, mostly. Trying to impress upon people the importance of accessibility for those with extenuating circumstances. At least according to the records I have access to.}

{The average person knows as much about his friends as they do about Mike Collins.}
<...Who?>
{Exactly. 20th century human spaceman, was there for their first lunar landing. Didn’t get to put boots on the ground, and nobody remembers his name now.}

{Hell, I didn’t even know about him until I put in a search query of niche historical figures just to give you an example. Yeesh…}

Archived Closed Circuit Security Video - Establishment: Exterminator’s Office - Dawn Creek Division - Subbasement - Date Recorded (ST): OCT 31, 2136 - Timeframe (ST): 11:42 - 11:45
The parking bay is silent. Vans are parked neatly in their spots which frame the hallway to the armory and fuel storage for the camera. A ding is heard and something moves in the hallway. Five fully suited Venlil and a Zurulian step out of an elevator and run towards a van. The sound of a door slamming open comes from the hall roughly 6 seconds later. A stream of Exterminators pour out into the hall from the stairwell.
Their voices are indecipherable as they speak over each other. A Sulian runs into the armory and reappears with a huge flamer tank on their back. Another Zurulian can be seen with an extinguisher tank, but a Venlil bleats at them and tosses it aside. They drag the quadrupedal alien quickly into the parking garage before physically throwing them into the back of a van.
From the back of the hallway, a fluid can be seen spreading across the ground. A trio of Venlil back out of a room while holding their flamers up. They are unlit, instead spewing fuel out of their nozzles. The trio twirl around in an overly animated manner as they walk down the hall to the parking garage. A van pulls out of its spot with windows down so the passengers could let out a cheer.
A black-suited Venlil runs up to the spraying trio while waving their arms to get them out into the garage. The microphone just barely manages to catch him saying, “We need to save some for the predators!” One of the other Venlil replies, “Yes sir, Mafchi!” A short flurry of curses is heard as the gathered exterminators pile into the three other visible vans. Two of the vans speed out of the garage, forcing some other Venlil exterminators to dive out of the way in the process.
The black-suited Mafchi picks up a fuel canister that had been dropped and twists off its cap. He slings it under his shoulder and pours a line of fuel. He marches straight to the final van and hops up into the open rear. The van backs itself up to turn out of the garage. The fuel canister clatters to the ground as it pulls away. Before it clears the view of the camera, the Black-suited Venlil is seen standing in its open back. He is holding what appears to be a flare gun.
The flare sails through the air shortly after the van leaves the frame and impacts the ground. It bounces and rolls until it touches the fuel and ignites it in an instant. A small wall of fire proceeds down the provided trail into the hallway, igniting more fuel as time passes. The hallway is quickly engulfed in vividly red fire. Thick black smoke begins to pour out into the garage as the fire inches closer to the primary fuel tank.
Movement can be seen in the hallway between the flickering flames. The silver form of a Venlil Exterminator is seen rushing out of the stairwell and fighting to head towards the fuel storage room. Before they reach, a white flash fills the screen. The feed goes dead, the error code consistent with electrical interruption.
(Specified Media Concluded.)

{Who was what? Mafchi?}

{Hmmm, there aren’t any tags embedded for them. The suits do a rather good job at making the officers anonymous. Let me see…oh.}

{The, uh… the employment records for that Office were…terminated.}

{It looks like…yes, here. Record wipe in 2497. Media with less than 1 bistandannual visit were removed to save space on the university’s central server. It’s…they’re gone, gone gone.}

{Maybe, but that’ll do us no good if we don’t know their name. And because of the chaos of that incident, nobody has been able to accurately reconstruct where every individual was in that office. We’d have to already know who they were to find them.}
<...I guess that’s another person I’ll have to remember then, huh?>
{...Guess so. Speaking of remembering, perhaps you should check out Tarlim’s view again? Seeing how we were just talking about him.}
<...Sure. At least people remember his name, right?>

Memory Transcription Subject: Tarlim, the Venbig. Date [Standardized Human Time] October 31st, 2136
No matter how much Sven and Anso griped about it, having them leave and return with the trailer was a great idea. The humans who had gone with them the first time were, to my dismay, excited to try and ride in the back. I had at least been able to impress on those four that I couldn’t let anyone else ride like that, and that they were to help with rigging a trailer with some seats.
I had to admit; they did a good job!
Several couches sat bolted to the floor of the covered trailer and even had some ropes that could be hooked across the armrests as impromptu belts. It wasn’t perfect by any means, but it would work as well as any bus or short train ride! Certainly superior to jumping in the bed of a truck.
I strode out into the parking road and swayed my ears to greet Anso. Sven had stayed behind here to meet with the humans and entertain the kids, a job which he was slightly less unenthusiastic about compared to last time. “Greetings, Anso! Have you made the necessary preparations for the humans to leave with you?”
The Yotul hopped out of the truck bed and bounced to me. “We have! I have to say those humans were great workers to have helped get this whipped up so quickly! I hope Sven has been behaving himself?”
I let my tail wag behind me remembering my last glimpse of him. He should really secure his sheath straps! “He has! Been entertaining the refugees while I made sure they all had their belongings ready to go. Come on inside, let’s go gather them.”
I guided him with a wave of my arm as we turned back to the door. To be truthful, I hadn’t expected Sven to win the humans over as quickly as he did. Needless to say, his primitive attire seemed to spark joy within them, a joy sorely needed amidst the sadness of recency.
As we entered the building I noticed something, or rather, the lack of something. When I had exited only a few [minutes] prior, the building had been full of life and noise. Now, it was almost dead quiet, save for the sounds of a holovision coming from the lobby. Rather heated sounds, at that.
“I didn’t think it was already main rest claw,” Anso mused as he, too, recognized the aggravated voices coming from the lobby. “And what are they watching in there? Sounds…angry.”
“Yeah…” I trailed off as I followed the noises. As I approached the lobby, the sound of what I assumed was a Gojid yelling. “You know nothing about my family. TALK, JUST FUCKING TALK, NOW!” My ears pinned back at the foul language at play, hoping that Sven and the children were somewhere else.
As I entered the room, I saw that I was only half right. The children were thankfully nowhere to be found, but Sven was obviously present, as was most of the facility staff. I was about to ask what was going on before another voice drew my attention to the holovision, the same as everyone else. The voice of none other than Chief Nikonus.
“There were three of us who laid out the groundwork for the Federation. When Kolshian explorers came in contact with the Farsul, more than a thousand years ago, the galaxy was young. We were the first in this sector to escape our gravity well. You know about the founding of this institution, but I reiterate it just in case.”
“The Krakotl were the third,” another voice piped up from behind the camera. I thought it might’ve been another Gojid, but the voice was far too breathy. Harchen, maybe? I wasn’t given a chance to consider it further as Nikonus continued. “Yes, they were a problem from the start; aggressive, disagreeable. We tried to identify the problem, and why they were so ill-equipped for spacefaring.”
“We learned they were scavengers, who would occasionally go for fish as well.”
His next line was rendered inaudible by the shocked gasps of both the refugees and residents in the room. I was no different, drawing in a sharp breath at the abrupt admission. I remembered that Arvi had said some aliens were revealed to have eaten meat in the past, but was this the way it was decided to be revealed? With such abject callousness?
Nikonus continued to speak, looking not just proud, but smug with his words. He went on about how the Federation had saved these aliens with their manipulations, but the entirety of his body language seemed to indicate he reveled in how devastating this information would be to the people he was speaking to. How they manipulated an entire culture, a RELIGION!
What if they did the same to ours?
That horrifying thought struck through my mind like a derailing train. I had relied upon the Tenets in some of my darkest moments. Found comfort in them when there was none elsewhere to be found. To have such a comfort revealed as a lie in its entirety, used only for some other group to control you…
The voice of Nikonus hit my ears again. “Oh Sovlin, I already told you. For the small minority of species who don’t find herbivory alone, we teach them the right way. Doesn’t the religion against predators sound familiar?”
The Kolshian was insufferably proud of those words. There was no doubt in my mind now; this was mocking. Mocking a Gojid for following The Protector. For being a predator. For being different, but expecting to still be treated as a person. The Gojid were predators, they couldn’t help it, and they were already being mocked for it.
What might happen to all the other species?
I shifted my focus away from the screen to the crowd, searching for one in particular. Vichee, a Krakotl already so different from everyone else, and now my concerns for them were multiplied with every word that fell from Nikonus’ mouth. Were they okay? They had come in here to see Sven, I had seen them. Where are-
I spotted Kaeden in the corner of the room. Next to him, slumped against the wall, was Vichee. The dual colored Krakotl’s eyes were glazed over as they stared at nothing. I strode over quickly, my instincts wanting to comfort them. Kaeden was simply standing there, it was confusing that he didn’t seem to be comforting Vichee at all. As I got closer, their head tilted up to me, regarding me with an unfocused eye.
“He was right.” They said quietly. My implant almost didn’t pick it up over the sounds of the lobby. “Kaeden had asked me soon after our first meeting if Krakotl had once been meat eaters. Said it was the shape of our beaks. ‘More suited to capturing small wriggling prey than filtering algae’. He told me. I nearly flew away right then… If I had, I would have been alone with this news.”I listened, kneeling down to be closer to their level. “You’re not alone, your herd is here. Right Kaeden?”
He looked over at me and nodded. “Vichee was there with me when Earth was attacked. I’m here for them now. Kaabra and Venik are… together, elsewhere at the moment. But they will be here too.”
I flicked my ears in understanding. “Then I hope they may help in hugging Vichee until their tears are dry.” I turned an eye to Vichee. “Please, I just want you to know that you are still you. What your body does has no effect on your personhood.”
Vichee still sat, their mind still likely whirling with the new information. They lifted their differently colored wings. “I’m well aware. This lesson I already learned. But thank you, I understand what you mean.” Kaeden nodded slowly and Vichee returned to their thoughts.
“There’s going to be trouble soon, Tarlim,” Kaeden stated gravely. “News like this? Nothing good will come of it. I can already tell this won’t go over well. Keep your eyes open.”
As if in response to his words, the sound of clanking metal hits my ears. They shoot up, pivoting to locate its source. There, dashing towards the door, was the armored figure of Sven. I didn’t know him enough to know how this broadcast would affect him, but running was never the best sign. I flicked my ears goodbye to my friends and rose, following after the metal man. In my periphery, I saw the television screen had shifted to show Rolem moving onto the stage. I would have to miss whatever it was he had to say, so ducked through the doors and continued to follow the sound of metal.
As I exited, I saw that I wasn’t the only one to see Sven’s actions. Anso was bounding behind him, shouting something I couldn’t hear. Sven didn’t seem to either as he kept running, but his gait wasn’t one of fear. He looked purposeful, sprinting in a straight line. A line pointed right towards-
Towards the observing Exterminator Van.
The metal Venlil didn’t even hesitate at the presence of the fence. He leapt up in a display of strength and agility, vaulting over the barrier and continuing his beeline into the van. It was like phased through the doors with how fast he moved. There were sounds of commotion that followed his entry, and soon two Exterminators fell out of the van. One Venlil…and one Krakotl. I wonder how Kalek is taking things.
I, too, cleared the fence with only a high step and reached the van, peering in to see Sven at the controls. “Sven! What are you doing?” I asked, the Krakotl officer shivering on the ground in my periphery.
“They got my girl!” He huffed, “She’s a Gojid, they got her, I can’t let them do anything worse to her!” He tried to activate the vehicle to no avail, but his words brought up something that I hadn’t thought much over. I remember hearing about temporary emplacements that were being set up. Paly had texted me about exterminators bringing people there. Her too. And that would mean-
-THOOOOOOOMMMMM-
The wind hit me like a truck and rocked the van I was standing next to. Sven even stopped trying to fiddle with the controls to see what had just happened. In the distance, near the center of town, an enormous black cloud rose into the air, the vestiges of fire still burning in the suspended embers. I couldn’t look away from it as my mind raced with horrible possibilities as my mind tripped over itself trying to concoct a plan of action.
I wasn’t given long to think before the radio in the van crackled to life, startling both Sven and myself. “Attention all True Exterminators! The truth has come out about the taint in our midst! For too long we have lived with its danger in our presence! If any of you still hold the safety of The Herd in your hearts, come join us so we may burn ALL the predator taint from this District! Rendezvous at Vulen’s apartment complex, we shall start our cleansing there!”
The name of one of my landlords sparked familiarity in my mind. They had been working to build a series of new apartments to add to his old, and if I remembered, had agreed to house the Gojid refugees. The Gojid! Paly was housed with them!!
In an instant, I reached into the van and grabbed Sven by the arm. He tried to pull away, but my grip was too strong. “Sven! They’re gonna kill the Gojid! They’re gonna burn Paly!”
He finally managed to shake himself free as my paws became jittery from stress. “I gotta save my girlfriend! She’s in a facility! I gotta save her!”
“But they’re gonna burn people here!” I protested, “we have to do something! We need- We need People who can fight them! Kaeden! I need to get Kaeden! We can save them!”
I pulled myself away from the van and spotted Anso nearby. He must have had to go through the gate, but this was good timing. I pointed a claw at him. “Do Not Let Him drive off before I get back!”
I didn’t give him, nor the Exterminators who had recovered from their shock, time to ask questions. Paly was in danger, as were who knew how many others. I faintly heard my data pad chime from within my shoulder bag, the signal my heart was beating too fast, but I couldn’t deal with it right now. I could get the heart rate under control during the drive. Right now I needed Kaeden, he knew how to fight! How to save people when others were trying to kill them!
My paws guided me and I was back in the cafeteria before I knew it. Some of the crowd had dissipated, but Kaeden and Vichee were still in the same corner I had left them in, but with their Venlil friends now joined. Without leaving time for protest, I grabbed Kaeden’s arm and pulled him away. I heard Vichee squawk behind me, but I was in too much of a hurry. I can’t let her get hurt. I Won’t.
Kaeden started to slap my arm as I dragged the soldier across the lobby. “Tarlim! What the fuck are you doing?? What’s going on?”
“No time, they’re going to burn everyone,” I breathlessly said as I burst the facility doors open to get him to the van.
“What? Who?” Kaeden questioned, still resisting my pull. I could hear a tinge of worry in his voice, and I knew he would understand. Anso looked back from his position as he heard my approach, and upon seeing me dragging Kaeden along, he grew visibly concerned.
“On the radio, something about True Exterminators,” I attempted to explain to him as we neared the gate doors. This time, I simply spread them apart with my free paw, metal screeching against itself as the gate was forced open. “They’re going to burn every cured species they can find, and That Means Paly. I Won’t Let Them.”
Kaeden had stopped struggling as I explained the bare essentials to him, and once we approached the van, he finally had enough sense to ask the right questions. “So what exactly is the plan to stop them? We’re strong, sure, I could probably take most of them. But just two of us against a wall of those flamers?”
“Not two,” I corrected, letting go of his arm and throwing open the back doors of the van. Still seated in the drivers side was Sven, who looked back once he heard me permit entrance into the back. “We have him too.”
“Wh- the LARPer??” Kaeden asked incredulously. I wasn’t familiar with the term he used, but his tone told us all we needed to know. Sven’s eyes narrowed at the perceived insult, but Kaeden continued. “Do either of you have any formal military training?? Rushing down there is only going to get you both killed along with the others! For fucks sake, slow down! We need a plan!”
“T-There won’t be t-time f-for one,” a voice peeped in from behind us. We all turned to face the source, and we found it was the Venlil Exterminator. They recoiled under the sudden gaze of our entire party, but they managed to continue. “I-I recognized the v-voice. It w-was one of the n-new recruits. They m-might as well be Y-Yulpa. If you w-want to stop them, it’s now or n-never.”
We all stared at them for a moment in disbelief that they’d willingly hand over that information to us. They were Exterminators, weren’t they? They should be allied with the voice on the radio! Kaeden, after considering the information, gave voice to my confusion. “And why are you telling us this? You’re an exterminator, shouldn’t you be trying to help them?”
“M-My husband is the Krakotl that was in the van with me!” They yelled back, stamping their footpaw on the ground in agitation. “I-I don’t care what his ancestors did a t-thousand years ago, I will not stand for those zealots burning who knows how many people! We’re not all the same, h-human!”
I was taken aback by their words. I had given up hope that there were any redeemable souls amongst the ranks of those silver-suited brahkasses, but living proof of the contrary stood before us. Their breathing was only matched by mine as my pad continued to chime in my pack. Maybe there’s hope after all.
Kaeden started frantically looking all around, his focused gaze falling on the facility, the exterminator in front of us, and the rising smoke in the distance. After a moment's hesitation, he growled to himself and shook his head. “Fine! Fucking- if you want to prove you’re different, you and your partner stand guard at the gate! They’ll probably try to send a division here, so keep on guard! And for the love of God, go ask for help if that happens!”
My tail wagged behind me as I interpreted what that meant. “So you’ll help us, Kaeden?”
He paused for a second, an agonizing second as he fully took in the situation in his mind. But ultimately, he nodded. “Let’s go, we can figure things out along the way.”
Seizing the moment, Anso quickly jumped into the van and pushed Sven out of the driver's seat, much to their visible frustration. Kaeden quickly hopped into the passenger seat, leaving me with the problem of finding a space that would fit me. I stepped over to the back of the van and threw the doors open.
The flamers and their fuel tanks were useless to us, easy to toss all three sets out onto the ground behind me. I made sure that the flamers were disabled first, of course. Just had to snap the pilot lighters and slice a hose with my claw. Even if these two said they weren’t like these “True Exterminators” I didn’t trust them one bit. I crawled inside the cramped vehicle and wiggled myself to close the doors behind me.
As I got myself settled, I watched as the Venlil Exterminator started to inspect the destroyed remains of their weapons. I squinted a glare at them and positioned myself so they couldn’t enter with me. “You two aren’t coming,” I hissed. “You know why you’re not. Try anything with the humans, and they will stop you.”
I slammed the doors shut as their expressions fell, just in time for Anso to get the van into gear. I curled myself up against the wall of the van, watching out the back window as we sped down the road. We were on our way now. On our way to save Paly and all the people gathered because their ancestors ate meat. My heart hammered in my chest, but I would need to control it for what we were about to do. I needed to focus. I needed to breathe. I needed to be calm.
Focus. Breathe. Calm
Focus.
Breathe.
Calm…

My legs couldn’t carry me anymore. I had to keep going, but I didn’t have the strength. My pants became wheezes as my body struggled to keep up with the physical exertion of running almost halfway through town. I hadn’t even looked up before now, at least with eyes not blinded by tears. The pain of Mute’s rejection still stung in my soul, a pain so visceral it threatened to rip me apart worse than any Arxur. Protector, what did I do to deserve this? Is there even a Protector, or did the Federation just- just make that up?
I didn’t have time to think about that now, I needed to get to the office. From what little I caught of the broadcast, Nikonus had said they saved us before. I knew what it likely was, but…I was desperate. I just wanted to go back home and have him embrace me like he did before. The safety and love I had felt from him was still fresh in my mind, and if there was any chance I had to get it back?
I’ll happily take it.
As I approached the office, however, something seemed off. I could smell soot in the air, but not the kind of soot that came from our flamers. This was- was…dirtier smelling, as if the fuel had been impure. Upon looking up, however, I saw something that made my stomach drop. A huge plume of smoke, billowing up into the sky. It shadowed the sun itself with its immensity and hate. Did the Exterminators burn more drugs? Or…or…
I felt a renewed vigor as I started to run towards the plume, hoping against hope that I was wrong. As soon as I turned the corner, though, my worst fears were realized. Where the office once stood now sat a burning stack of glorified rubble, every single window in sight shattered and multiple holes in the outer walls. The building was split, it was as if a giant knife had come down and sloppily sliced off its front half to spill flaming debris everywhere.
I stood in front of the building I had once called my home, surrounded by screams and the awful sound of flames roaring. I knew now there was no hope of salvation, no way this could ever be undone. I would never be able to go back to the way things were, never feel the happiness I had for that brief time. I was doomed to this life, abandoned by my love, and forced to live as an abomination devoid of a home.
I suppose that’s all a predator like me deserves.
[First]- [Prev]- {Next Story!!}
You read it right: This is going to be the final chapter of "Of Giants and Journalists." With the conclusion of Sharnet and Vekna's adventure, we will now take the time to show how this announcement has affected our characters and the galaxy at large. We're excited to announce our new series, Nature of a Giant: Aftermath! This series will not be quite as in-depth temporally as Of Giants and Journalists was, mainly because not as much will be happening in as short of a time. Rest assured, though, there will still be plenty of action across the board! You just won't have to deal with over half the story only covering a week of time!
In that vein, we are also excited to announce we are working on another bonus series, one that was teased a long time ago, Venric Lawven: Legal Legend! It will be filling the gap for content while we work on the first few chapters of Aftermath to make sure the scenes are as quality as they deserve, but will have a reduced upload schedule to once a week to accommodate for writing two series at once. On behalf of both of myself and , we'd like to thank all of our readers for sticking with us on this journey. It's hard to believe this series has been going on for over a year in one form or another, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you all again for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you again with Legal Legends! And then...
The Aftermath!!

Hello! I'm Caz, and I've been an avid TTRPG enthusiast since 2015. After years of being the go-to Dungeon Master, I'm eager to switch roles and immerse myself as a player in a new campaign.
About Me:
Age: 32
Location: California
Occupation: Data Entry
Schedule: PST-1500-2200 Tues-Sat - Night owl, thanks to my job, but schedule is flexible
Interests: Hanging out with my wonderful wife, writing, D&D, and working out
Playstyle:
I'm deeply invested in the game world and love connecting with other players. Roleplaying and characteparty development are my passions, and I thrive on gritty, tactical combat. I'm easygoing and always up for a great adventure.
What I'm Looking For in a DM:
Fairness and balance with the party
Empowerment of character agency
Strong understanding of the VTT in use
Investment in character backgrounds and stories
Preferred VTT:
I have a soft spot for Foundry VTT but am open to exploring other platforms.
Thank you for considering me for your campaign. I can't wait to embark on a new adventure together! Feel free to message me anytime.
