#I am hashtag. not lovin it

gets on Instagram for five minutes at end of day to message friend - learns about two Certified Doomscroll incidents in quick succession. closes Instagram.

[ingravinoveritas]

Really normal for Georgia to post pictures of herself and David captioned #mumanddad and then pictures of Michael and David captioned #mumanddad (I'm eating drywall)

I am honestly flummoxed at how many people do not seem to realize how very not normal and far beyond any typical "BFF" thing all of this is. (Not you, of course...just speaking in the broader, more general sense...)

I've seen people compare Michael and David's dynamic to that of Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac, and while I admittedly don't know much about them, I have been in fandoms for a long time now...and I've never seen anything like whatever is going on with Michael and David, and Michael/David/Georgia.

With today's Insta story, it's not just the #mumanddad hashtag that did it for me, but also the song choice: A cover of "Happy Together" by The Turtles. In particular, she chose this portion of the song to use over that story:

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you For all my life When you're with me, baby, the skies'll be blue For all my life...

I think it bears repeating that it was Georgia who started calling Michael David's "other wife" in 2021 and who has quietly been dropping these little hints into all of her recent Insta stories. It's Georgia whose instigating paved the way for David to call Michael his wife--not once, but twice, one in recent memory. And it's Georgia who not only doesn't mind people shipping Michael with David, but seems to be tacitly encouraging it. Because if this was all PR--and I've talked on my blog previously about how I believe plenty of things she and AL have posted in the past are--it would be on an entirely different level to involve Ty in it.

(This also adds credence to my previous speculating about all of this leading to something, as well as the possible reason why Ty deactivated his Instagram just before GO 2 came out...)

Again, at this point, it seems to me that the people who still want to say Michael and David are just "besties"--because they think they're defending MS and DT's "straight" relationships, without looking at the larger picture of what is actually happening--are choosing not to see what is right in front of them.

It truly is something, though. I imagine this will not be the last time Georgia frames Michael and David as a couple, but how she's going to do it next is something I can't wait to see...

Cam’s Amulet Rewrite <3

Amulet. What an… odd book series. A book series that has an iron grip on me even after all these years. With a story that only a middle schooler would find cohesive, but an art-style that inspired me to start drawing characters for myself, I think it’s safe to say that after Kazu emotionally abandoned this work it’s time to give it some lovin’.

ENTER: an Amulet rewrite! Only this time… I’m fully embracing the wartime storyline, making elf culture a little more unique, and will attempt to give a rough outline of a story (mostly I’m working on the concepts for now though).

(DISCLAIMER: I am not saying that my ideas or concepts are better than Kazu’s, I’m just a dumb kid who was disappointed in his work and wanted to maybe use his story as a jumping off point for my own version of Amulet)

Instead of the Steampunk/Sci-Fi elements, I think that it would be more interesting (and narratively cohesive) if the story pulls aspect of Deiselpunk and inspiration from the 1940’s (don’t worry, I will explain later). I made the map make a bit more sense, I completely redesigned the characters (because they all have the same outfit), and I reworked the story.

Instead of 2-dimensional characters entering every story, we’ll focus on the OG cast and explore them a little more.

I think this story would be a really cool dark fantasy if done right. But alas, I am no New York Times best seller, so if any of y’all have any ideas please tell me! Sometimes it’s hard to convey the ideas that I have in my head in text, so tell me if you are confused or you need me to explain something a little better.

As always, I have two playlists for this new project, so if you need a better idea of what I’m shooting for here, or you just want something new to listen to, check them out! :

And… yeah. This will be a series on my Tumblr, and the hashtag to find all these posts will be #Cam’sAmuletRewrite

Thanks for reading this! Hopefully I’ll have my first post out here shortly!

How hard is it for you to approach new people you want to interact with? It depends... Some people I click with really well right away and other people I feel like I'm just annoying them. I rarely follow people first, at least lately. It's kinda hard to say, I mean right now it's really just my social battery is very low. Normally I'd usually try to send memes if there are any that make sense (aka for my muse to say to theirs), or respond to an open, like a starter call. I used to message people after they'd follow me (and I follow back) to say hello and mention that I'd love to start up a thread or that I am excited to write with them, but I've kinda stopped doing that because a lot of people often took that as me having plot ideas and I absolutely do not, giant stress, so I have for the most part stopped doing that. I guess I'm like, ish? At it? Consider this part of my ever-WIP-communication-skills.

Stranger making small talk, yay or nay for you? I'm answering this strictly for online small talk. And even then I still suck at it and "small talk" just doesn't make much sense to me, it feels pointless and so awkward and it always goes nowhere. Just yell at me about your muses or our muses or about the new muse you're thinkin' about or send me some funny memes or tiktoks or pictures of animals. Like what even is small talk? I'd rather get a random message at like 4am about some random new headcanon about your muse.

Does knowing the other mun make writing threads easier or harder? Neither! We can barely talk at all or only in hashtags of our replies and I'll still have a good heckin' time. Or we could be yelling at each other about the latest weird meme I just sent you and same energy lovin' the thread. I don't really feel it makes much of a difference for me.

Should people be nervous to send you things at all? Absolutely not, ya'll, I'm a potato over here, do not be nervous you can literally come into my messages and start yelling at me about your muse or whatever and I will vibe with that energy. Legit you can send me six messages in a row I will not be phased, I'll in fact be happy that I am the chosen one. Just come at me. Tag me in random ass starters, send random ass memes in the ask box, message me to ask about a thread or a ship or literally anything, literally anything, send me a picture of your cat. Or your dog, or your ferret I don't care, if it's an animal send me the picture. Come at me full throttle.

Memorable Burger Quote

This section is all about generating ideas for social media posts. The first thing you need to do is decide on the type of post that you want to create. You can either come up with a slogan or caption.

Slogans are a short phrase or sentence that promotes your product, service, or business. They are typically used in advertising and marketing campaigns to increase brand awareness and identify the company’s niche in the market. Slogans should be catchy and memorable so that people will remember it and share it with others.

Captions are words that describe an image, video, or piece of text. Captions provide context for what is happening in the photo so people know what they're looking at and why they should care about it.

“I still love making hamburgers on the grill. I guess whenever I eat them childhood memories come up for me.” – Bobby Flay

“I am a child of America. If ever I’m sent to Death Row for my revolutionary ‘crimes,’ I’ll order as my last meal: a hamburger, French fries, and a coke.” – Jerry Rubin

“The ingredients of a hamburger seldom vary. It’s a percentage of fat to lean meat, add salt and prepare, and that’s it. It shouldn’t need a recipe.” – Anthony Bourdain

“In the States, you can buy Chinese food. In Beijing, you can buy hamburger. It’s very close. Now I feel the world becomes a big family, like a huge family. You have many neighbors. Not like before, the two countries are far away.” – Jet Li

There are many ways to promote a burger. You can advertise it on social media, create a viral video, or even make it the star of the show.

The key is to make your burger stand out from all the other burgers out there.

We need to promote the burger as an indulgent, high-quality and tasty meal.

The burger is a dish that is made from ground beef, usually combined with other ingredients such as bread crumbs or oats, and often cooked by frying or grilling.

We need to focus on the benefits of eating a burger.

The importance of being healthy and maintaining a balanced diet should not be overlooked when promoting a burger.

Hamburgers are an all-time favorite food of many. They are filling and satisfying. But how do you make them stand out in the crowd?

In this article, we will share with you some tips on how to promote your burgers and make them stand out in the crowd.

1. Make your burgers more appealing to a larger audience by adding new flavors or toppings.

2. Offer healthier options like veggie burgers or turkey burgers so that people who want to eat healthy can have their burger too!

3. Create a special offer for your customers such as buy one get one free or buy six get one free!

How to write good food captions.

Food captions are a great way to get your followers excited about the meal you are sharing. Captions should be short, descriptive, and tell a story. They should also include the recipe if possible.

If you don't have much time to think of a caption, try taking a picture of the food with your phone and then using an app like Instagram or Snapchat to search for captions that fit the photo.

The King’s Men, Chapter 2 – Welcome Back, I Guess

In which the squad is reunited in the usual heartfelt fashion, Andrew has inquiries about learning curves, we finally find a hashtag for Abby, and Neil gets a makeover.

Sounds good? Then it’s time for Nicki to read The King’s Men.

Hello hello hello! It’s been almost exactly three months since I last updated this trainwreck of a blog, holy shit. I have no one to blame but my own lazy ass.

But none of that matters because – here we are! The hellride continues, fucking finally.

In other news: We hit 1,000 followers during hiatus!

Wowzie. I’m still stunned by the number of people who want to read my bullshit antics.

So, if you’ve only found this blog during my hiatus – welcome! If you’ve been around for this shitshow since the beginning – welcome back!

Here’s to the rest of the series.

(Oh boy.)

             [Neil] needed his teammates to think he was okay. That meant going about the day as if Christmas had never happened. He bought himself time to lock his thoughts down by going for the world’s slowest run down Perimeter Road.

Neil, I love you, I truly do. You are a brave, defiant, proud soul, armed with a battalion of wit and a truly unbreakable spirit.

But you are also an absolute, absolute cockhead.

DO NOT JOG WHEN YOU JUST HAD EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY BROKEN, YOU MASSIVE FUCKING SHITBRAIN.

Neil’s body is apparently an inkling smarter than his mush brain, because it immediately punishes him by making him fall asleep in the library. Serves him right.

And how does he wake up? By my absolute, absolute favourite line in this book so far.

             Fingers digging into the back of his skull startled him awake. (…) “Is your learning curve a horizontal line?” Andrew asked. “I told you yesterday to stop making my life difficult.”

IS YOUR LEARNING CURVE A HORIZONTAL LINE, holy shit. Andrew, my boy, my man, never ever ever let me doubt your sass capabilities.

(Not that I ever did, because honestly.)

This may not only be my favourite line in this book so far, but also my favourite line Andrew has ever let past his small rage-filled lips. Is your learning curve a horizontal line.

Tattoo this on my body, paint this on my walls, print this on a blanket and bury me in it.

On a more somber note – this is how our boy Neil wakes up, en detail:

             Fingers digging into the back of his skull startled him awake. He grabbed for a gun, for a knife, for anything close enough to buy him room to flee, and sent the computer mouse skidding across the table.

Does that violent, alert way of waking up ring any bells? Like, any?

The Neil/Andrew parallels are real, you guys, and I am so here for it.

Andrew and the gang fetch Neil to drive to the stadium for fun Fox reunion times, and in the car, Neil makes an interesting discovery:

             A car key was fastened to the adapter head with a rubber band. (…) Either Andrew had confiscated Nicky’s copy or he’d gone out and gotten Neil one of his own. Neither option made much sense to Neil. He’d only used Andrew’s car because Andrew needed a second driver in his absence.

Oh… my… actual… fuck. How can anybody be this OBLIVIOUS. Harry Potter who?

Whether Neil realizes it or not, they are now Car Sharing Boyfriends™ and I am loving the fuck out of this development.

Upon arriving at the Foxhole, Abby confiscates Neil in order to look him over, meaning we’re in for some good good healthy Abby lovin’ in this time of stress.

             “You won’t ask [about the contact lenses and the hair]?” Neil said.

             “I’ve seen you scars, Neil. I’m not as surprised as I should be to find out they’re not the only things you hide. I want to ask, but you told me once already not to pry.”

Excuse me, why is Abby such an actual angel descended from the heavens. We do not deserve her and her absolute kindness. No one does.

(Lies. Neil does. Neil needs that shit.)

And because Abby is a kind and responsible woman with her head screwed on, she benches Neil for a week until he is at least marginally better – which of course, Mr Dramatic Cockhead over here does not enjoy.

             “A week,” Neil echoed. “That isn’t fair.”

             “No,” Abby said, and cupped his face in her hands. “This isn’t fair. None of this is.”

             The pain in her voice killed Neil’s argument in his throat.

Ouch.

             “Sometimes I think this job is going to kill me,” Abby said. “Seeing what people have done, what people continue to do, to my Foxes. I wish I could protect you, but I’m always too late. All I can do is patch you up afterward and hope for the best.”

Oh, ouch.

And then –

             Abby folded her arms around him and pulled him into a hug. (…) The only people who’d ever hugged Neil were his teammates, and those were quick squeezes throughout a good game. His mother had pulled him close before, (…) but she’d never held him like he was something to be sheltered.

Abby, I have never loved you more than in this very moment.

I wanna make a joke about any of this, but I can’t. I’m crying.

Just �� #hugsoutforabby

We’ve been searching for three books, and now we finally found a hashtag. Excuse me while I dry my tears with it.

And not enough with that – the Best Hug Ever also makes Neil think on some important stuff:

             [His mother] was gone. Even if she was here, she wouldn’t have comforted him for this. She wouldn’t have held him like he was a hard breath away from shaking apart. She’d have cleaned his wounds because they couldn’t risk being slowed by infection, but she’d hit him for choosing the Foxes over his own safety.

Breaking news: Mama Josten is an actually awful human being, and Neil finally experiencing what real motherly love feels like makes him realize that.

To that, I have nothing to add.

(I do have some hands that Mama Josten can catch if I ever come across her.)

As Neil is released from Abby’s care, he finally meets up with the Foxes, and the usual heart-felt greeting formalities are exchanged – that is to say, Andrew punches the fuck out of Matt for hitting Kevin (Neil intervenes and easily stops Andrew, because, well, obvs), Nicky has exactly 0% sympathy for Matt, Matt calls Andrew crazy and Nicky a monster, and the goalie BFFs have a warm reunion by means of a curt two-second head nod.

So, you know, same old, same old.

             Wymack quirked a brow at Matt, then looked to Neil and Andrew.

             “Didn’t we have a talk about not killing your teammates?”

When. When has a talk like that ever worked, David.

             “[Allison] is not crying,” Neil said.

             Nicky grinned. “Five bucks says she is.”

             Neil should have brushed it off. Maybe a month ago he would have. (…)

             Neil kept the edge out of his voice, but barely. “Don’t you dare bet on someone’s grief.”

HECK YES.

My boy Neil’s development of Not Taking Any Bullshit Anymore has already begun last book and continues to grow, and I am so here for it.

Shortly before Wymack can commence his usual motivation talk, a lil unexpected something happens: As Andrew takes out a knife (which is not unexpected), Neil has War Flashbacks to his father (which is neither), but as he makes a comment about it – Renee drops in.

             “I’ve never understood why he likes knives.” (…)

             [Renee]’d stopped mid-sentence to stare at Neil, but the Renee studying him wasn’t the Foxes’ redeemed optimist. Her sweet smile was gone and the too-blank look in her face reminded Neil of Andrew. (…)

             [Renee and Andrew] stared each other down, soundless and still, oblivious to the bewildered looks their teammates sent between them.

Uhm. What?

I thought we were done with backstory on Renee’s part. Don’t tell me my sweet murder princess has past beef with Mr Chop Chop himself. DO NOT.

What is happening.

But, alas – the moment passes, and Wymack finally starts giving them the ol’ Listen Up, Fuckers, Here’s How We’re Gonna Not Die This Season Speech.

Heads up: They’re most definitely gonna die this season.

The good news: The only reason they’re only most definitely gonna die is because the USC Trojans, the Edgar Allan Ravens and U of Penn – you know, the Three Main Fuckers – are up against each other before semi-finals, meaning one of them will bite it before they have a chance to bite the Foxes.

Yoo-fucking-hoo.

Neil “I’m Fine” Josten, of course, tries to make his case for being let off the health leash once again, but is quickly silenced by, well, every present person with half a brain.

Also – this.

             “A fierce season and ample tragedies means we’re the talk of the town, and this year people might actually root for the underdog. The board want us to encourager that fever with more publicity. Expect more cameras at games, more interviews, and more nosiness in general.”

Oh yeah, because that has always worked out so goddamn well.

Let us reward your charming talent for attracting death threats every time you do so much as smell a camera by supplying more cameras.

             “If I could ban some of you from ever opening your mouths in public, I would, but this is out of my hands.”

At least Wymack agrees.

And last order of today – Mission How To Get Neil To Look Less Like An Actual Punching Bag, which is elegantly solved by everything that solves every problem in a good high school/college movie:

A makeover.

Yup, you read that right, Allison swoops in like an makeup goddess descended from the high Sephora heavens (which, like – she is) and covers up Neil’s bruises like an absolute badass.

10/10 would learn how to contour and colour-block again.

             Neil took [the mirror] from her outstretched hand but let it rest glass-down in his lap. Allison motioned for him to take a peek. Neil shook his head. (…)

             “Not scared of Riko, but scared of your own reflection?”

Clearly, Allison has never looked into the mirror after a night spent getting thoroughly fucked up.

Or like, she just looks naturally flawless even after partying her brains out, which is honestly the more plausible answer.

Also please give me all the fanarts of Neil getting makeup tips and talking about boys with Allison, Renee and Dan, please and thank you.

             Neil was tired and sore and not at all looking forward to his week off the court, but for a moment none of that mattered.

             “We’re okay,” he said to the empty hall. “We’re going to be okay.”

And I’m not.

Happy fucking holidays to all of us! No matter what you’re celebrating - if aynthing at all - I wish you a wonderful time and I hope you’re all well.

Updates will - this time for real - continue in the new year. It’s my resolution, and for once I’m actually set on pulling through with it.

Have a lovely time everyone, take care.

And as always: If you like what I do here and you want to help me continue writing fun things for you, please consider buying me a coffee. Every lil bit helps, getting me through uni and all that jazz. Thanks so much!

Instagram Video on Instagram Stories now drives Reach through Locations + #hashtags

Interesting!

I have been keenly watching the evolution of Instagram Stories in recent times and in the latest Instagram platform update, brands who use relevant Locations + Hashtags within their content (on photos/video) can expect increased Reach and Brand Awareness of their Instagram Stories. 

The inclusion of Locations & #hashtags, as shown in the screenshots below from our @hotndelicious Instagram account content, created whilst watching the Golden State Warriors versus the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, lead to a higher volume views of my @hotndelicious Instagram Stories by people searching #GSW and #NBAFinals content.

By adding Locations & #hashtags to Instagram videos, you can tap into increased traffic beyond your existing audience as ‘Grammers from around the world seek to connect with content from Locations or #hashtags associated with current events, digital activations and/or their favourite sports team.

So when you are choosing a social media strategist for your digital ecosystems for ongoing or campaign content, you need to take into consideration how quickly platforms evolve and how in touch your social media lead is with said social platforms.

One of the advantages I have as a highly experienced Social Media Strategist is that I am not only working with a diverse number of clients across multiple platforms and range of different industries including B2B, Health Insurance, FMCG, Not-For-Profit, beer/alcohol brands, financial/technology, travel and much more, but I also have my own two brands, Hot & Delicious Rocks The Planet! and Craft Beer Lovin’, where I am still on the tools every week creating still photography, video and audio content (for my Bondi Beach Radio show and podcast).

This means that unlike a lot of other strategists, I am one of the first to discover these latest social media platform changes before they are officially announced by the platforms and I’ll usually trial new products/content execution types on my own two brands first prior to putting them on the table for clients.

So to wrap this quick update, I’ll give you business advice and food for thought: There are a lot of wanna-be so-called social media specialists in this business and they usually brand themselves with self-coined terms like Social Media Guru/Ninja/Unicorn. If you are looking for a new Social Media Strategist for your brand or business, then make sure that you’re working with someone who not only understands how to ladder social media content up to meet your Business & Brand Objectives, but just as importantly has their finger on the pulse as a prolific content creator in their own right.

And if you want to work with me, then don’t be shy… I’ll get straight back to you. Drop me a line. 😃📱🎙✌🏻

Maundy Thursday: Visita Iglesia

Visita Iglesia or Seven Churches Visit has been a tradition in the Philippines every Holy Week, especially Maundy Thursday, where people visit and pray in at least seven churches. Unlike before, this practice can be done easier now since there are many churches in one locality. This is done to honor Jesus’ establishment of the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

This is my first Visita Iglesia ever! And I do not have much idea about it. I thought I need to attend a mass at every church but no, you just need to pray. So yes, basically, you just need to enter the church, pray, and re-enter another and pray again for seven times. Actually, some says it is better to have nine so we did! But upon researching, it usually takes 14 pala. Will say why later. :)

So this is how my kind of Happy T turned out:

Monasterio de Sta. Clara Monasterio de Sta. Clara is the first church we went to. This is my first time and I was amazed. First, because I love the purple facade. Haha! Second, they have a fountain where people believe your wish will come true if you were able to shoot it in the highest base. Third, and the most popular, the offering of eggs with your prayer intentions. You will surely enjoy here! Because I did!

Santa Maria Della Strada Church Next is Santa Maria Della Strada Church. I am not sure if this is the church where Popoy and Basha got married but I see it similar to the movie. Hala, One More Chance and A Second Chance fan alert. Hahaha! Since I got happy with the activities we did in the first church, I looked for something to do here. Well, they have interactive stations of the cross beside the church. Supposedly, we will try to do it but we did not because we might not complete the visitation. So yes, pray pray pray! Love this place by the way because it looks so sossy like Greenbelt. Yaz, have those feels. Haha!

Parish of the Holy Sacrifice Third church: Parish of the Holy Sacrifice! It is said to be a landmark Catholic chapel on the University of the Philippines, Diliman campus. I like Jesus’ cross here because it is hanged. First church where I saw this kind of altar! Hihihi. And since we on UP, food trip na rin! This is where we took our lunch. Thanks to the yummy kiosks. Heehee. Good place to walk and just roam around too.

Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene or Quiapo Church Supposedly, we will be going to the Sto. Domingo Church too but, full parking. So instead, we went to the ever-famous Quiapo Church. Dada and I attend mass here, especially during Fridays. We did not stay that long because even if this is a miraculous praying place, there are a lot of pickpockets around! While on the way, we saw one. Haha. Don’t wanna have a miracle how our phones or wallets go lost, ganun. Hahaha! So be careful when you get here. I am not saying there are many but just be cautious. Besides, this is Manila.

San Agustin Church Oh, San Agustin Church! This is my favorite church because it is so beautiful! Plus, the two couples whom I know got married here are very happy and strong! Alam na saan ko gusto ikasal. Ahem. Hahahahaha! I love this place because it is located within the walls of Intramuros. Very instagrammable! And seriously now, I feel God is so close to me here. I don’t know, I just do.

Manila Cathedral We also went to Manila Cathedral. Oooh I am so glad I was able to go here already! History eh? Together with San Agustin Church actually, because these are the only two baroque churches remained after the World World II. More so, this is the main church in Manila; thus, in the Philippines. My experience here was great because my first time to go here was with Cardinal Tagle! Yup, when we knew there is a 5 PM mass, we stayed. And it is his eminence who is the presider! First time to see the washing of the feet too. Hashtag feeling blessed and thanky G! Heart heart heart!

Minor Basilica of San Lorenzo Ruiz or Binondo Church The long mass made us hungry. Of course, anong oras huling kain tapos ang init kanina tsaka alas singko hanggang alas siete na misa. So before completing our Visita Iglesia, we ate first. Yum yum chicken bbq! Huhu. So yes, to complete the list, we went to Binondo Church! Dada and I went here already before and geez, still lovin its ceiling. Wonderful!

Our Lady of the Pillar Church or Sta. Cruz Church We were there already so we also dropped by at Sta. Cruz Church. It was a little dim because there are no lights but yuh, we just prayed there then. Sorry I did not take any picture. I will just post the picture I had before. Dada and I went here before too eh? During our Binondo date, Valentine’s day. Haha! Saw someone doing his penitensya too. Ergh, you are forgiven kuya. Just be good.

Our Lady of Remedies Church or Malate Church Lastly, Malate Church! It is on our way going home so we went there. It was a small church but very intimate. I miss my Alma Mater bigla because we are near to the place. Sadly, we did not go because everyone was tired already. Haha! But yes, this is our ninth church. I prayed everything, just like what I did to the eight. So much love to God! Love love love!

It was a great experience! I would do this every Holy Week then. Actually, Dada and I had an idea of having church hunting during our dates. Hahaha! It is to thank God for everything and to say sorry for our sins. Also, to make our bond much tighter. We have to make God in the center of our lives - me as myself, him as himself, and us, together. That is how it must be, am I right? 💖

Even if I decided to cancel the Baguio trip with my sissy and her workmates, keri, because I was able to experience something new, something that is much connected to Holy Week. Galing naman na ako dun. Tsaka ayoko maging third wheel. Dami pa tao for sure. Hahahahaha! At least here, I was able to fulfill goodness for both myself and G. Thanky for today, my God! I love you! 💖 💖
