It's really, very simple what I feel about Jude and Cardan. It's just such a long fucking journey with them in a series where they barely (truthfully) communicate with and comprehend one another. It's not just that they start off by hating one another, it's also that they're constantly drawn to one another. They go from being enemies to working together, which was basically just them really seeing each other. They don't know when they can trust the other, but they also learn that they get each other. They experience fear, pain, and betrayal at different times but also together. They experience loving each other without trust, but they also experience it with such a force that it is all that drives them when they've lost the other. In the end, everything just knits them back together better and stronger.

It's magnificent what all @hollyblack delivered in such a short series with each book being less than 400 pages.

ok let me get this straight - jk and oc were together, zion already in the picture, oc is pregnant with second baby, jk gets accused of plagiarism at work, oc works herself to the bone to clear jk’s name and it works, but jk stays at the company that accused him….. bc of oc working so hard, she gets a miscarriage. she resents jk for not putting his family first, and she also resents herself for working so hard and losing her second baby. she asks for a break up but they don’t really break up so she doesn’t know what it’s like to lose him (?) also she’s mad that jk doesn’t want more for himself, but his decisions are his own and that’s what he wants (?)

that new chapter hurt so bad :( sometimes you just think love is not enough

after all that all i can say is tanginaaaaaaaa ang sakit 😭😭😭

timeline (as of 16)

(11 months ago) jk and oc have established careers and are raising 3 year old zion together. jk is a visual director for an advertisement company and oc is lawyer, trying to make partner at her firm.

they've been having issues in their relationship where oc is upset because jk keeps rejecting work promotions. she knows jk works hard and is capable so it frustrates her that he limits himself. it's not that she wants him to work himself to the bone,, it's the fact that he doesn't try. on the other hand, jk is upset because he feels like her career gets in the way of their relationship.

(10 months ago) jk's plagiarism issue begins. oc prioritizes fixing it for jk because she sees this as an opportunity to show jk how her career benefits their relationship. on top of that, she pushes and makes his name spotless because this is how she defends jk. this is how she shows her devotion and care towards him. as she does this, (it's been hinted in the past chapters that she has issues with stress and self-neglection) ((which is a very realistic flaw might i add)) she puts jk first and her health second (((unintentionally)))

(9 months ago) oc is pregnant (don't quote me on the sex math this requires). jk settles his lawsuit. oc doesn't love his decision and jk does not communicate why he settled. due to the fights, confusion, stress, and anxiety; oc goes through a pregnancy loss at 5w. she did not know she was pregnant and neither did jk ((idk if that was clear in the story))

the same time she's going through all of this; her work gets piled up and she begins to deal with burn-out. oc also still tends to zion's needs and realizes that she's going through post partum depression. to cope, she focuses on work and zion.

jk doesn't feel neglected; he feels confused. oc doesn't talk about the loss and neither does he. they both avoid it and begin to blame everything around them to be the issue. ie: work/career.

it gets so bad that oc isn't functioning like she should. she wants space and asks jk for a break. not a break up. a break. eventually, it grows into one. they continue to sleep with each other regardless.

(present) oc attends therapy to clear her headspace, fully knowing that she is unfit for their relationship. jk continues to pursue her (which is romantic in a sense but also very suffocating when you need space to heal).

,,, haynakoooo. tbh true love is when u know love isn't enough,,, so u do everything to grow together jus to be together.

diba yun sila? hehe

also u're right

tangina talaga!

Kyle's 5W's and How

After thinking about this for a bit, I decided to use this to dive into Kyle a bit more and hopefully show why I love him. This is inspired by @sweetestlittledarling's post.

(Note; this takes place post-plague and pre-game. Think a few days before the game is set.)

Who is Kyle?

Kyle is a young magician's apprentice who's around two years younger than Asra.

He has bright blue eyes with small islands of green scattered throughout them. This is due to having segmented heterochromia in both eyes. (He has been told he has the world in his eyes.)

He has short, fluffy, bright red hair that's less curly than Asra's but just as fluffy.

Kyle has a skin tone closest to Muriel's, but if you look closely, you can see little specks of dark skin (freckles) but also pale, harder-to-see ones.

Standing at a whopping 4'4, he makes even Portia look tall. His small height is surprisingly not genetic but rather a magic phenomenon that happens in his birth country. Birds, lizards, bats, dragons, fish, and plants all have the chance to be a lot smaller than normal. This magic means that if Kyle had kids, he would be as safe as a normal-sized person having a baby in those times.

Having ADHD and ASD He has sensitivities to certain textures and flavors. Being sensitive to both spicy food and minty food, while absolutely loving Selasi's mint tea due to the baker making sure to make his cup mild mint instead of the normal rich flavor that causes Kyle to reflexively scrunch up his nose. Some textures he's sensitive to are silk; he loves the feeling of silk clothes, but one time when Asra swapped the bed cover with silk, it left Kyle sleeping downstairs until it was changed back. Don't worry, Asra was able to repurpose it into a bunch of different items and arts and crafts projects. Nothing was wasted.)

While I don't tend to do voice claims, I did it for Kyle and a few other characters and used this as the voice claim for Kyle, with the difference being that Kyle has a Kiwi accent. But this is close to what I imagine his tone, pitch, etc. to sound like.

What is Kyle?

I could give the generic answer of, well, Kyle is a human moving on. However, I want to dive into this a bit. What makes Kyle who he is?

I could see an answer of his free spirit. But what does that actually mean to Kyle as a person? Since it's not always exploring, it's the way he pauses to watch a leaf fall, to watch a bird hop around, the way he goes into new shops he's never been in just to look around.

But that isn't all of it.

He's kind. Another vague word. Which in this case is his ability to stand up for others even when it's scary. The way he sometimes brings a huge pot down to the beach to make a ton of soup for those who need it. The way he will go out of his way to help those he can.

Yet, even then, he'd argue those are more selfish than kind. He brings soup to hear stories, and because he's not feeling good, he helps people because it makes him feel good.

In reality, asking the 'what' is always going to be harder than the 'who.'

Why is Kyle Kyle?

This might be a stupid question on the surface, but why is Kyle the way he is?

Diving pre-plague, a lot of his formative years were spent around a tropical forest, large trees, large birds, humid air, and mild winters.

But the earliest thing to define him was in his original home being ignored by the elders. Being allowed to wonder while being small meant he was easy prey for large birds, and while he obviously survived all the attacks, it did leave him with scars on his shoulders.

Then there was the time he snuck onto a boat to join his dad on a trip and accidently caused his dad's death. (The boat crashing didn't kill him, but by the time Kyle got help, a flock of StormBird's had gotten him. Giant birds that fly around during heavy storms looking for food.)

Then in his new home, he was told who he should be by different people who had different wants for him.

Having his home burned down in front of him, he became a pirate for a few years as free passage towards Vesuvia, where he heard of someone who shared a last name.

Finally learning magic from his aunt.

A lot has shaped Kyle, and while it's been long forgotten by Kyle himself, he will always carry the scars of how it shaped who he is as a person.

When is Kyle, Kyle?

Kyle is mostly himself when he forgets about thinking; a few examples are;

When the shop is filled with people as Kyle bounces between customer service, helping people find items, and restocking shelves.

Birdwatching/animal watching. Even if it's watching Faust make her way from one side of the shop to the other.

Half asleep cuddles with Asra, where his brain is turned off and he's already halfway towards sleeping.

Speaking of half asleep, also early mornings when Kyle is just waking up.

So basically whenever he isn't overthinking himself or the world around him and can just enjoy being alive.

How is Kyle?

He's good.

He hides his insecurity about his height by playing into his childish clothing choice and baby face. Using any infantilization of him to the person's disadvantage as he analyzes everyone as thoroughly as Nadia does.

While he appears cheerful and sweet, the truth is he just likes being happy. He likes being able to openly smile to openly laugh and to try his hardest to look on the bright side. While he does have pessimistic thoughts, he buries them with kindness to himself and others. 'What if his friends secretly hate him?' 'Then it's on them for not telling him, and all he can do is try his best to be the best person he can be.' 'Nobody cares what he has to say?' 'He cares, and that's enough.'

While he isn't prone to depression, he needs support from people due to his ADHD and ASD. He won't remember to do certain things, and the shop and house will slowly clutter and fall apart around him. Which will cause him to suffer through depressive episodes as he loses control of his environment, leaving it inhabitable. Kyle is unable to fully take care of himself, and he knows this. This is why he has Bluebell and Hunter as friends who'll check in and help him when Asra's away on long trips.

He's braver than he thinks he is. Partly due to ASD and partly due to learning in a supportive environment, he doesn't fear people as much as he used to. Making him more and more willing to stand up to people who are otherwise scary. Muriel is nearly twice his height, and yet the only time in the game he's ever felt scared of Muriel was one time in Nadia's route, where Muriel suddenly stands between him and the bear carving, towering over him, and twice in Asra's route, once during a dream and once during their first? meeting. Even when scared, he's calm trusting himself and his ability to handle the situation. He's willing to face Muriel head-on, not because he thinks he could take Muriel in a fight but because he trusts himself and his magic to be able to get him away before a fight breaks out or before he gets hit. A shield spell to block the blow and retreating.

Despite being quite smart, he feels like an absolute idiot a lot. Yet he knows deep down this is just his own insecurities and works through this by writing things down to help with his sometimes horrible working memory and short-term memory.

He knows he's not perfect and has learned how to be okay with that and, over time, how to forgive himself more than he used to be able to do. And because of that, he's good.

hmmmmmmmmmm i need to lay out basic elements of a story, where are the “5w”s when you need em

[sassypotatoe1]

HI WRITER BY CAREER BOTH CREATIVE AND TECHNICAL

You only have to be conscious of paragraph size when you're doing technical writing. It's literally because in technical writing, you often have a limited total word count, and you have specific information you need to include in said writing, and in order to fit said information into said limit of word count, there are formulas and style guides for writing it.

In journalism, depending on the type of article but for brevity let's say a standard print news article, you're typically limited to around 500-700 words, (and online it goes down to 300 for nebulous attention span reasons) because that's literally how much space you have in the physical newspaper for your text. Because space in a newspaper is determined by how much ad space was bought for that edition compared to printing and distribution costs.

So you can have a news article with anywhere from 100 to 700 words, depending on said space, but you have to include the who what when where why how of the story, and qualifying and clarifying information, and it goes from most to least important based on aforementioned attention span reasons.

What you want in a news article is attention, so as much of your 5w and h information as possible goes in your intro paragraph, if it doesn't fit it goes in your nut graf (second paragraph), and you want ideally around 5-7 lines in a column per paragraph so it's not a wall of text, because column layout is already hard to read but it's the easiest to print and format.

So in journalism, in a standard a4 word document with 11pt Ariel font you'll have 2 lines per paragraph, 3 if you're pushing it, and you have to fit your inverted pyramid very carefully into that structure, which leaves you with 50-80ish words per paragraph, and you have to make them count.

In creative writing this is not necessary at all, because the formatting of books are different. They're not limited in space by advertising revenue, and they're not restricted to the inverted pyramid style of writing, or any style at all really.

All you technically have to consider when writing creatively is the flow and legibility of your work, and if that means you put in a paragraph break wherever it makes the most sense then that's what you do. You don't have to write strictly 100 words per paragraph, a paragraph can be one word or 100 words, and what divides it is conceptual.

Every new concept is a new paragraph. Hell even if you just want people to take a small pause in the middle of the same concept you can break up a single concept into two or more. What matters is how easy it reads, and how much emotion it evokes, and however you chose to do it is entirely up to you.

If you're not doing academic, scientific or journalistic writing, you can go nuts to your heart's content, especially if you're self publishing as an outlet and not for monetary gain. School teaches you 100 words per paragraph because it's the easiest to grade en masse.

Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable

How to Write a Newspaper Article A Step by Step Guide

Writing a newspaper article is a fundamental skill for aspiring journalists and content creators. A well-structured article informs, engages, and provides valuable insights to readers. Whether you're reporting for a local daily or contributing to an online news portal, following journalistic principles is key. This guide will take you through the entire process, from researching and writing to editing and publishing an impactful news article.

Understanding the Purpose and Audience

Before you begin writing, identify the purpose of your article and your target audience. Are you reporting hard news, writing a feature piece, or covering an investigative story? Knowing your readers (general public, professionals, students, etc.) helps tailor the tone, language, and structure of your article. For instance, an article in a business newspaper would use more formal language compared to a feature story in a lifestyle magazine.

Key Components of a Newspaper Article

A news article follows a standard format that makes it easy for readers to digest information quickly. Here are the essential components:

1. Headline

A compelling and informative headline grabs attention and summarizes the main idea of the article. It should be concise, engaging, and relevant.

Example: "Government Introduces New Tax Reforms: How It Affects You"

2. Byline

This is the author's name and sometimes their designation or publication date.

3. Lead (Lede)

The lead is the first paragraph of your article and is crucial in capturing the reader’s interest. It should include the most important facts—Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How (5Ws and 1H). Example: "The Indian government has announced a new tax reform policy that will impact middle-class families, aiming to ease financial burdens while increasing state revenue."

4. Body

The body provides details, background information, expert opinions, and statistics. It should follow the Inverted Pyramid Structure, meaning the most important information comes first, followed by supporting details and less critical data towards the end.

How to Write a Crypto Press Release That Journalists Actually Read

In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, getting media coverage can be tough. With thousands of crypto projects launching every year, standing out is a challenge. One powerful tool for grabbing attention is a well-written crypto press release. But here’s the problem—most press releases go unread.

If you want journalists to open, read, and publish your press release, you need to write it the right way. In this guide, we’ll break it down into simple steps.

1. Start With a Strong Headline

Journalists get hundreds of emails daily. If your headline isn’t catchy, they’ll ignore it.

Tips for a great headline:

Keep it short (under 10 words is ideal)

Make it specific (mention what’s unique about your project)

Avoid clickbait (journalists hate misleading headlines)

Use action words (e.g., "launches," "partners with," "revolutionizes")

🚀 Example: "XYZ Crypto Announces a Groundbreaking Partnership with Visa"

2. Start With the Most Important Information (The 5Ws)

Your first paragraph should answer these five key questions:

Who is involved? (Company or project name)

What is happening? (A launch, a new feature, a big partnership, etc.)

When is it happening? (Include a date if relevant)

Where is it taking place? (If location-based)

Why should people care? (What makes it important?)

🎯 Example: "XYZ Crypto, a leading DeFi platform, announced today that it has partnered with Visa to introduce a new crypto debit card. This partnership aims to make crypto transactions more accessible worldwide."

3. Make It Easy to Read (Avoid Jargon)

Many crypto press releases are filled with complicated terms that only blockchain experts understand. Journalists write for a broad audience, so keep it simple.

✅ Do this:

"XYZ Crypto is launching a new feature that allows users to send Bitcoin instantly."

❌ Avoid this:

"XYZ Crypto’s innovative Layer 2 scaling protocol leverages zk-SNARKS to achieve sub-second finality in Bitcoin transactions."

If a 10-year-old can understand it, you’re on the right track.

4. Add Quotes from Key People

Quotes add credibility and a human touch. A journalist can use them directly in their article.

Good quote example:

"This partnership marks a huge step forward in making crypto payments mainstream," said John Doe, CEO of XYZ Crypto.

Make sure your quotes:

Sound natural, not robotic

Come from key figures like the CEO or founder

Add value (explain why the news matters)

5. Include Relevant Stats and Facts

Journalists love numbers because they make stories more credible. If your crypto press release includes data, it’s more likely to get picked up.

📊 Example:

"The global crypto market is expected to reach $5 trillion by 2030, according to XYZ Research."

"XYZ Crypto has grown its user base by 300% in the last six months."

Always cite your sources if possible.

6. Keep It Short and to the Point

Your press release should be no longer than 500 words. Journalists don’t have time to read long, detailed reports.

Structure of a crypto press release:

Headline (Grab attention)

First paragraph (The 5Ws)

Second paragraph (More details & why it matters)

Quote from key person

Relevant stats/facts

Closing paragraph with call to action

7. Add Contact Information

If a journalist is interested, they need to know how to reach you.

Include: 📧 Email address 🌍 Website link 📱 Phone number (if applicable) 💼 Press contact person’s name

8. Optimize for SEO

To rank on Google, use relevant keywords like crypto press release, blockchain news, and crypto partnership naturally throughout your text.

📌 Best practices:

Use the main keyword at least 3-5 times

Add keyword variations (e.g., "blockchain press release")

Include links to your website and official announcements

9. Distribute It to the Right Channels

Even the best crypto press release won’t get noticed if you don’t distribute it properly. Send it to:

✅ Crypto news sites (CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, Decrypt) ✅ PR distribution services (PR Newswire, BusinessWire) ✅ Industry-specific journalists and bloggers ✅ Social media and crypto forums (Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn)

Conclusion

A well-crafted crypto press release increases your chances of getting media coverage and attracting investors, partners, and users.

🔹 Keep it clear and concise 🔹 Use simple language 🔹 Provide valuable insights and quotes 🔹 Optimize for SEO and readability 🔹 Share it through the right channels

Follow these steps, and your press release won’t just be read—it will be published.

Brain Storming

This was my first draft in figuring out my character, using the exercise of 5W's and 1H. it helped me figure out the back story to the character. However i wish to expand on this mind map more to provide more insight on the character, but it helped give me a clear direction in where i wanted to go forth with the character's backgroud

What is the character: The character is a Demigod

When did they become a demigod: when they were mortal the town was being destroyed by a dark force, they died trying to protect the village

Where are they: they travel around the lands

Why: they seek to fight the evil that attacked his home village

[felicityhicklingviscomlvl6]

mp – identifying my context.

using the 5W's and 1H to assist me.

who?

not too sure on who this is for, except those interested in true crime and different portrayal of feminism and misogyny, in a way??

what?

the problem is the fact female killers aren't as recognised as male killers, but can be as notorious as them. "women can kill too". underlying misogyny even when the subject is murder – also creates this comedic interpretation of why we're arguing over murderers in the context of wanting equality within it. then it makes me question if it would be worth it, why should we care if female killers don't get more representation than male killers when both sides are bad people anyway? – overall it contributes to the conversation on portrayal of women.

when?

not too sure? I guess I'd use this if I'd just finished watching or reading about a bunch of true crime – a rabbit hole of content.

where?

still deciding deliverables – could be online?? most true crime stories are found online with videos/tiktoks/articles. maybe a online database?? similar to this example I previously looked at.

why?

genuine interest and intrigue for true crime, especially the reason we don't see female killers as often as male killers. and I think because misogyny and feminism is such a big and important issue, the idea is something small identified within something huge and people already have an interest in both. especially women, as we tend to watch true crime without a flinch.

how?

editorial, ui/ux, and typography – under 'where?' I linked the example of a project that created a physical and online database. I think this would work really well, but I don't want my piece to be another version of this existing piece.

I think it could be worth the push to do something like that though, since I'd be creating something I'm guaranteed to love with an editorial piece. then also something challenging, but what I like working with too, creating easier access for the audience.

BLACKBOX WORKSHOP

We were put into groups of 4 and then given and envelope with a product in. we then created a moodboard that gave hints about what the product was. We had to make one to represent birds eye alphabites, we made hints like red square with a bird and and eye on top.

We were then given another groups mood board, it took a couple minutes but we worked out that it was tangfastics.

We then started mindmapping ideas using the 5Ws and H. We came up with the idea of having it in black and white until they eat the tangfastic and then it all becomes bright and colourful.

We then story boarded our ideas and planned where and when we were going to film. After we filmed all the scenes, we all came in and worked together to create the advert, one of us worked on editing the clips together and isolating the colour of the tangfastics bag whilst the rest of us worked on the animation that would play at the end. We all took turns sharing ideas and giving advice, I think this was very productive as it definitely improved our ideas.

I'm really happy with how the advert turned out. I think having the tangfastics only in colour really emphasises our slogan "tangfastics a way to brighten your day". I also think the music works really well, how it gets louder once he eats the tangfastics. The animation turned out really well as we all took turns adding to make it more bright and explosive to represent the taste of tangfastics.

Interim Critique (LO3, LO4)

Feedback from the crit:

answer 5W's and 1H

put words into categories

define constraints

define audience and narrative

tablecloth could be my aesthetic driver

does russia and ukraine need each other to exist?

what am I really trying to say? - with family there is no conflict, tablecloth brings people together, family transcends war

look at other stories of people that had to leave homes

picking the narrative apart

what is my deeper personal experience? - feeling tense any time I hear ukrainian language/news

Ukrainians understand Russian but Russians don't understand Ukrainian fully, is it mirrored in their understanding of each other as people?

where does English come into it? How do I explain my idea to the tutors? Can I communicate it visually? Or maybe use little cards with text like in museums

Get inspiration from stack magazines

tablecloth + zine

how others present dual languages?

what landscape am I using, what layouts?

how does tablecloth interact with the table, how book sleeves do?

This tutorial gave me a variety of aspects to consider that will allow me to enhance my project and the message I am communicating.
