#Multiple picture meme creator

[cloudcountry]

Riddle with X Reader/significant other that does magicam or magitok and they sometimes like to yap about him. They post on magicam like “day in my life” as a NRC student, or just posts on magicam like a creator does on TikTok.

Some Examples I wrote myself: “My boyfriend doesn’t even have magicam, even if he were he’d probably not open it at all and opens it like once every three months or so…”

“No because I literally created a folder of favorited videos and memes or just pretty photos called “will show/send to Riddle eventually” cause I know he’s busy and I can’t keep spamming his phone with my nonsense.”

They like taking pictures of him, they think he’s just so photogenic and majestic

Ion know they’re just silly and love him sm

Is this too much? Sorry if it is 😭

SUMMARY: riddle with a s/o who does a lot of magicam!

COMMENTS: its not too much ^^ <3

He’s kinda used to it? I mean, he spends a lot of time around Cater and he’s always on Magicam. He just didn’t expect the extent you’re on Magicam. It worries him to be honest.

The first time you showed him your follower count, his eyes nearly bulged out of his head. What do you mean that many individuals follow you? Oh, some of them have multiple accounts? Sorry wait, they have private accounts and public accounts? What is the point of that?

He’ll be a bit shy if you want to take a video or a picture with him but he’ll do his best. Refuses to do any dances with you though, unless you’re trying out that “let’s fucking go i guess?” trend and want to include him. He approves of that dance simply because its more natural for him and looks less goofy (in his humble opinion.)

He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t a little bit jealous of Ace and Deuce and how casual you all act around each other. He’s seen videos of you three dancing with each other, bright smiles on your faces. He watches Deuce trip over Ace’s feet and the two start to bicker as you run over to the camera to stop the video.

He’ll make an account just for you, at your insistence. He literally only follows you SOBS. You’re elated because this means you get to send him all the posts and videos you had saved just for him!!

He usually just double taps them to like them and doesn’t say anything, but when he does it’s always in perfect grammar LMAO

Once Riddle Rosehearts, always Riddle Rosehearts.

Sometimes he’ll forget he even has Magicam and will miss SO MANY of the posts you send him.

ALSO, if you put his @ in your bio Cater is going to lose his mind because what do you MEAN Riddle has a Magicam account and he didn’t follow his favorite upperclassman?

Riddle refuses to follow anyone outside of Heartslabyul at that point. Hurray, user rosehearts824 is finally following a whooping two people.

Okay, honest question, who is Yotsuba?

OH HO HO ANON I AM ALL TOO HAPPY TO EXPLAIN :3

Yotsuba is a character from the greatest manga ever made, Yotsuba&!(or Yotsuba to! it translates weird, most fans just call it Yotsuba) which is a comedy slice-of-life manga about Yotsuba Koiwai, a five year old girl, and her very strange yet wholesome family and friends!

It's from the same mangaka who gave us Azumanga Daioh, though while that manga is told in a four-panel comic style and doesn't really have much of an overarching plot, Youtsuba is done in a traditional manga style and despite also being very episodic there is a bit of a throughline surrounding Youtsuba getting settled into the neighborhood she just moved to, growing up, and eventually, in the later chapters, getting ready to go to school for the first time. Also, there are storylines that take place over multiple chapters as well! Despite the fact that the manga has been releasing since 2003, the chapters are pretty sporadic and the comic has only really covered about one year of the character's lives, but it never really feels slow or aimless. It feels almost...timeless? I guess. It's really nice.

Anyway, the manga is legit one of the most wholesome, funny, heartwarming things I have ever read. Kiyohiko Azuma is a fucking MASTER of comedy(you may have seen screencaps from a Sailor Moon fan comic he made going around on tumblr in which Jupiter accidentally sends Venus shooting across a pool that made me laugh so hard I cried) and he balances it well with lots of slow moments with GORGEOUS artwork where you can really take in the scenery and all of it is seeped in a wonderful nostalgia for childhood that legit makes me super emotional.

I don't think the manga has ever really taken off in terms of popularity, at least not to the degree that it deserves imo, which is likely in part due to the creator being firm about it never getting an anime adaptation and the sporadic release schedule, but it's far from unknown. There's been an official(I think??) score released and plenty of figurines and merch. It's also birthed a lot of memes, and it def has the same issue as One Piece where if you read it and love it you will turn into a walking billboard and try to drag your friends and family in with you. It's just THAT good!

You may have seen art of or people cosplaying Danbo, a "robot" made of old cardboard boxes that Yotsuba adores (Totally a real robot btw, def doesn't have a middle schooler shoved inside there, that would be silly wdym /s)

And this pose from the back of one of the manga volumes featuring Yotsuba, her father, and their extremely tall friend Jumbo has been redrawn with other characters like 500000 billion times

And you've also probably seen this going around tumblr before (that's Fūka she's my favorite cringe fail daughter I would literally die for her).

Also, I would be doing a disservice if I didn't mention Yanda, who is a friend of Yotsuba's dad and also Yotsuba's nemesis. He's a loser who constantly gets dunked on by a toddler it's fucking hilarious.

But yeah it really is just like, a manga that feels like a hug, or a warm blanket or something, it's so comforting and funny and fantastic, I find myself re-reading it any time life gets to be too hard just bcs it's that good at distracting me and reminding me that live is worth living.

And also given that it's literally my favorite manga, I saved up a bunch of screencaps to use as reaction images after a read one time, and thus now it's my own little joke that if you send me anon hate I'm just gonna send you back a picture of this cutie

Bcs come on how can you be angry when you're looking at this???

Anyway here's some screencaps of the main supporting cast bcs I love all of them so much <3

YOU WILL READ YOTSUBA I AM NO LONGER ASKING

You ALWAYS BE EATING ME TF UP BECAUSE THE ACTUAL FUCK LIKE I- * INSERTS MANY PICTURES FROM TWITTER AND TUMBLR I SAVED WITH A MEME OR TWO* Also I have deleted sims 4 because when they nut them multiple updates I couldn’t even play any premade or sim from cas so that hoe is gone for awhile because I simply can’t be bothered Chile like SCREW HER BUUUUUUTTTTTTTT I redownloaded my first love sims 3 surprisingly I haven’t played since 2022 which was awhile ago but do you got any recommendations for cc or defaults that you found and have you played sims 3 lately if so do we have pictures friend? 👀👉🏾👈🏾😌

Hey fren!!

Chile, you know I'm always going to serve a cute little picture moment. Anywho, TS3 will always be THAT GIRL. I don't blame you about deleting TS4, the game is always breaking. That said, I'm going to hop in your DMs and link you a little Word document or something with all the TS3 CC creators I love. I'll hit you up tomorrow because I'm tired boots.

[partrin]

hey hi if you’re still up for answering random questions, what are the guys like on social media? do they love it? hate it? active or not? involved in silly discussions or super heated debates?

oh. oh. this is gonna be a long one. disclaimer: these are all headcanons purely based on vibes. purely vibes, nothing more. they're also all like, in their early to mid 20s in these headcanons for some reason. let's begin.

makoto: average, responsible socmed user that uses it in healthy doses. mainly uses facebook and instagram, if only to keep up-to-date with his loved ones. his instagram posts are always personal and heartfelt; he always writes long, meaningful captions littered with words of affirmation to show his gratitude. scrolls tiktok on occasion for cute cat videos (that he shares with ran and ren, sometimes the iwatobi group chat, other times the hybrid iwatobi-samezuka (iwasame???) group chat). likes to leave positive, uplifting comments on people's posts and igstories. wholesome socmed user, 10/10 would recommend

nagisa: DOOMSCROLLER. NEEDS SOMEONE TO MONITOR HIS SCREENTIME. SOMEONE TAKE HIS PHONE AWAY. has a youtube account where he likes to upload strange vlogs with clickbait titles (somehow manages to manipulate haru into appearing in some of his vlogs to post clickbait thumbnails every now and then after realising his viewers found haru pretty to look at). jumps on the tiktok dance trend bandwagon and ropes rei into doing it with him (successfully!!!!!!!), is very proud of doing the "NIGHT DANCER" by imase trend. is hooked on reading AITA reddit threads, which he discusses, passionately, with rei. serial igstory poster—posts literally a n y t h i n g. regular gossip forum commenter. has been shadowbanned multiple times on multiple different sites for varying reasons. sometimes posts #GRWM videos where he's putting together an outfit or doing his hair while casually detailing about how he once almost commited a felony

rei: uses socmed because it can be a, quote, "valuable source of information" for current affairs, science journalism, political debates. yes, he is THAT twitter user, often replied to with this meme:

is a sceptic when it comes to tiktok, usually asks for content creators to post verified, credible sources so he can fact-check. his instagram, however, is of course a collection of pictures of things he finds—yep, you guessed it—beautiful. shares articles he's read on igstory and gets excited when people discuss them with him

haru: contrary to popular belief, he is not entirely averse to using socmed, but uses it very scarcely. king of posting cryptic, one-word captions on his posts. could literally be in athens for the olympics and the only thing he'd post on igstory about it is a blurry pic of his foot on the pavement with the caption "hot".. reacts to his friends' igstories with "🔥" but says nothing else. his main instagram posts, however, are very aesthetic (cue beautifully-taken pictures of the pool, sky, cherry blossom petals drifting on the surface of a river, you get it). doesn't use facebook ("too much work"). is a loosey-kun fan artist on twitter. is fiercely protective of his friends (mostly rin) and would post anonymous comments arguing with haters on swimming forums

rin: king of posting (unintentional) thirst-traps (e.g. gym mirror selfies of him seated on the bench press, manspreading, phone obscuring his face). has pinterest boards for fashion inspiration, inspirational quotes, "101 Romantic Ideas for You and Your Partner".. unironically posts shit like this:

has burner accounts for stalking potential competition (perceive that however you may). used to actively use tumblr in his teen years, where he'd reblog posts of song lyrics, inspirational quotes, depressing quotes, pictures of his favourite bands on tour, swimming, scenic pictures of japan (to quell his homesickness), that ONE pretentious john green quote ("It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.") gets an ego boost off comments complimenting him; plays it off by replying humbly (while secretly screenshotting everything to use as motivation to keep working out because THE GRIND NEVER STOPS 💪🏼🔥💯💯). has a burner twitter account to stalk tweets from swimming fans

sousuke: internet troll. hasn't updated instagram since 2010, his last post being a picture of him and some dudes with that ugly gingham filter slapped across it. is an admin behind a dank memes page called "Memes and Dreams".. occasionally gets on omegle to troll people. likes to reply to tweets and reddit threads with "source: trust me bro" just to piss people off and rile them up. was an avid vine user and is slowly coming to terms with tiktok being its latest replacement (will NEVER admit he enjoys tiktok). replies to rin's posts with shit like "lame" "bruh" "bffr" "😏".. gets a dopamine hit everytime rin takes the bait

......and scene oh my god thank you for sending me this ask. i had a lot of fun coming up with this 😭

Lostboy.EXE

On the internet, there exists multiple levels depending on the depravity and exclusivity of certain cites, services and content. The surface web, the dark web, and the deep web. The surface web is the level you’re on right now, with things like Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. 

The deep web is stuff that’s below the surface, stuff that’s hidden from the public eye like government cites. 

And the dark web is what it says on the tin. From counterfeit items, luxury drugs to the most depraved content one can find from child sexual abuse to cannibalism to hitmen. Or luxury pickles. It’s a mixed bag.

Today we have a game that’s been rumored to originate from such a place, Lostboy.EXE. Look, it’s cliche, but we gotta start off with the classics.

I’m sure I don’t need to introduce 4chan, it’s the edgy and lawless image board that birthed Anonymous as well as several iconic memes, the posterchild of online degeneracy. But on August 22nd, 2012, someone would unintentionally drop what I can only describe as a bomb onto the message board. An anonymous user would upload a Mediafire link to a game they’d made for the /v/ and /x/ boards, intriguing the other anons. It was some innocent fun, all things considered. 

The game consisted of a single empty maze with several images of babies and religious imagery pertaining to demonic entities, you know, the usual for horror indie games. It doesn’t take a lot to unsettle someone. Just imply crimes against children and you got a free ticket to WTF-land. But otherwise it was a pretty boring game, so people in the board complained as per usual.

Imagine this: you’re the average 4chan user who just downloaded a shit game full of creepy ass imagery yet no gameplay. Just full of weird images of infants and satanic shit, you feel that you’ve seen either an edgy kid’s attempt at a game or something you shouldn’t have seen. Maybe if you played for longer you would’ve seen something truly fucked ala Sad Satan. You go to the message board where you found the link and try to figure out what the fuck you just walked into.

And then you see your full name, address, and phone number posted in that very thread. 

You see, what many users didn’t realize at first glance was that there were not one, but two links to the game, one of which being a fake malware version of the game that gave the second uploader remote access to the computers of whoever was unlucky enough to fall for the dupe. This way the anon who made the dupe was able to get their personal information and leak it into the /v/ and /x/ threads on the game. People got paranoid after this was found out–who knew what the hacker did with their computers, they could’ve taken pictures through their webcams or worse, filled their computers with illegal child sexual abuse material. Because 4chan is fucked like that. It wasn’t like the site was unfamiliar with csam being leaked onto their site, but some people weren’t as degenerate and didn’t want to be arrested for what was essentially a 2/10 indie horror. Admins would later delete the threads and put up a warning for users to not download any content found on 4chan.

It wouldn’t be until 2023 that the alleged creator of the original safe version of Lostboy.EXE was even discovered, a Twitter user by the name of rob_is_an_idiot, who was interviewed by the French Youtuber known as Feldup. Unfortunately we do not know what the fuck was said in the interview as we are not French and refuse to learn French. But we will link to the interview, of course.

Alongside this, Rob would make a Twitter post about the subject:

“I made lostboy.exe back in 2012 and shared it with 4chan's /v/ board, it was a gamemaker 7 tutorial reskinned. There was never any other version. The "virus lostboy.exe" was just a RAT virus, not the game. They simply renamed their exe to lostboy.exe.”

While the original link still exists, I highly discourage downloading the game unless you’ve got a good antivirus or lawyer. We don’t wanna accidentally distribute “cheese pizza” or viruses here, but if you wanna seek out Lostboy.EXE that’s your prerogative, not ours. But yeah, that’s the story of Lostboy.EXE as it stands–a simple game made for shits and giggles turned into a backdoor for malicious activity and an internet urban legend that until now has been left unsolved. The moral of the story? Don’t download shit from 4chan.

Ever.

What To Watch Tonight - The 2022 Series Edition

What a year! Some might complain we had more choices (too much?!) than ever but if this means we have the opportunity to watch a wide range of projects representing a diversity of people and genres, who are we to whine about something that does no wrong? Well, I guess this was also the year of FOMO and goodbyes since so many shows ended or got canceled… So we might as well enjoy the abundance of choices of series, miniseries, and other “made-for-TV” while we can as the future might look a little less generous.

So let’s celebrate and reminisce about some of those we liked this past year that brought us unadulterated joy when we needed it, got us SO emotionally invested and EMOTIONAL, pleasantly occupied our time in the background while maybe-doing-some-light-activity;), they were perfect for when we were bored/sick/relaxing/avoiding “extreme weather events” inside, they were here for us when we needed some fun cheering or a change of perspective, taught us a thing a two, and definitely entertained us to the max - and pluses and beyond!

BEST OF THE BEST

*best of 2022 out of around 150 selected shows…

ANDOR

10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

Well, this is definitely one of those rare flawless shows.

Sure it helps that this was one of this year's STAR WARS series and prequel to *The best* film ROGUE ONE and manage to keep the same unsettling, exhilarating, grounded yet powerful same vibe, and that intensity hitting at the perfect moment.

And of course, it was visual marvel bringing multiple Best episodes of the year(the end of that first Adani blinding bringing us to the sky, the INTENSE final, to the escape from Alcatraz Narkina 5... )

This show excelled in every aspect from banging sound and score (they introduced house music, and a marching band with RE-INVENTED INSTRUMENTS so people could lose losing their minds on Twitter accordingly) We also had as expected incredible special and practical effects, grandiose scenes, and a production design that makes you want to go back to some scene to appreciate all the little details and easter-egg in the background. On top of that, the costumes were probably some of the best ever seen in the series, from the space-chic cocktail dresses to the fashionable impeccable authoritarian uniform, or the creative outfit with wild fabrics and edgy elements, the out-of-this-world yet looking realistic and practical enough that we can just picture ourselves casually wearing them... Enough to say that every single cast member, including extras, was making some serious fashion statement!

ANDOR got it all but obviously the storytelling and direction thanks to CREATOR Tony Gilroy back from ROGUE ONE and all other formidable collaborators and crews, but last but not least the pitch-perfect cast - including the secondary characters - delivered “Oscar-winning” monologues after monologues from the like of Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O'Reilly, Fiona Shaw, Andy Serkis... With so many quotable lines combo best deliveries… and timing... “Never more than 12”... 

HOUSE OF DRAGONS

9.5/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

Ah yes, the BIGGEST show of the year that hopefully, everyone watched religiously every year.

This GAME OF THRONE prequel might have outdone itself despite being focused on fewer (non-male) characters, stories, and locations. Yet the feeling of returning to something we all cherished was incomparable. Much virtual ink has been spilled on this one so we do not need to tell you how everyone in the cast deserves laurels for best performance, or how some DRAMATIC scenes (mostly involving swords and/or blood) stayed with us long after the episodes aired, or how the tales transported us to Westorosi lands and made us google way too many nonsenses about GOT “history” or fam-theories and so forth... 

But part of its charm was also undoubtedly the post-watch parties on social media with all the reactions and memes - so many memes - for years to come!

ATLANTA

9.75/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

What a time to be alive indeed! This is what we told ourselves at the end of each episode (scenes!) of this last season of ATLANTA. The show we will definitely miss the most forever.

Sure last season was…A TRIP (to casually racist EUROPE lol!) but each entry of season 4 was wild wild rides unlike anything else out there and switched between styles, genres, and storylines...

But most importantly ATLANTA not only brought us the most incredible episode of the year but maybe the best ever with 'The Goof Who Sat by the Door'!

To talk about it would be to spoil the reason why it is so perfect but let's say every intrigued viewer was bewildered from the first second, jaws dropped to the floor, and we kept asking ourselves "WTF I am watching right now!"

(then probably followed by multiple “Oh Sh!!!!!iiittttt”!)

This was simply the most genuinely hilarious Brilliant and perfectly executed mockumentary or anything we had the pleasure to screen in 2022. So was ATLANTA as a whole.

It was a little touch of magic, fun, nostalgia, and philosophy every week, making us think and rethink various concepts and ourselves and we will now forever wonder if it was all real or a dream, and we are left with memories AND so many questions left unanswered ...

BETTER CALL SAUL

9/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

Another show we had to bid a sad sad farewell to... and this one hurts really bad since it was so bittersweet and many of us “grew up”(at any stage of life!) with those characters for more than 10 years…

This show, although using formulas from its sequel/prequel BREAKING BAD reinvented the wheel and was groundbreaking in its own way, with perfect editing, musical cue, props and costumes, entertaining writing, menacing characters, relatable deeply flawed (murderous/criminal) individuals topped by shenanigans and mindblowing plotting with accompanied montages that will forever be seared in our brain. 

We will miss Saul and all the beautifully executed scams by some of the most oddly bonkerz characters and we will miss the underrated Rhea Seehorn and all the other actors with their tour-de-force performances...

EUPHORIA

8.5/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

Ha yes, it had to be here as not only was it a grandiose season but it was definitely one of the buzziest show/pop culture events of the year (with HOD) Returning for a second season even more unbelievable in every way than its predecessor. The show managed to be even CRAZIER and more bold, with incredible chases (mostly while high), tense dramatic scenes worthy of the most dramatic drama, uncomfortable yet powerful meltdowns, and crises, and important moments appropriate for teens, YA, and adults of all ages alike, hilarious youngster shenanigans (also while high), but also a full-on high-school Broadway production basically recapping the show…Very meta!

EUPHORIA aesthetic is surely here to stay representing a very distinct period of our era but its appeal is wider as it is equally style and substance. It is the sort of immersive show that makes you want to tune in every week! (Yes it would have been the most binged show if it was avail in full tho!)

Now, not sure how they can top all the coming-of-age/adulting foolish beguiling nonsense, and that rebellious teenage spirit attitude next!

RESERVATION DOGS

8.75/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

We talked about this show last year but this is another case of sophomore season topping it up while staying authentic and fresh. 

RESERVATION DOGS is one of those rare shows managing to be a true dramedy, with scenes that will make you chuckle non-stop and others that will make you want to ball out... Sadly, it took so long for this sort of show to be on our screens but anyone can see that the uniqueness of the narratives offered has such a universal appeal.

Powerful scenes delivered by a cast that “live “ their characters, bleeding facts into great storytelling sublimed by the perfect wicked sense of humor and a heavy dose of surrealism, this is our kind of show!

*Although we had a few projects with a strong indigenous presence this year we can only hope this will become the norm.

PACHINKO

8.75/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

An epic tale about a Korean family fighting for its survival and success generation after generation. This series spanning decades set in Korea during the Japanese occupation, then in Japan, is a feat of cinematography and certainly a masterpiece.

Every episode looked like an Oscar-winning best picture, it was crafted with so much care and all actors elevated the already sweeping and potent material to new heights.

PACHINKO was a cinephile treat like no other...

THE BEAR

7.5/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Imagine the intensity of BOILING POINT in a series that you can binge in one go because you did not know any better!

THE BEAR made everyone who worked in the restaurant/hospitality industry justice, but also made some of us so glad we are not part of this special gratifying yet hellish work environment!

Despite being low-key and quite short it manages to bring the heat and make a mighty impact.

PEAKY BLINDERS

8/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another show we wish we did not have to say goodbye to but hey at least we got a movie coming our way!

The aesthetic, the mood, the brooding, the FACKING AMAZING cast, the costume, the scenery, the sets, the darkness of it all... It haunted our screen masterfully 

FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL

8.25/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A mini-series not for the faint-of-heart but of the utmost importance. Some might say it was too soon, but we can appreciate it even more now, particularly after these few years of pandemic and climate-change-related catastrophes. This show about helpers and all its heartbreaking complications is not one to overlook.

(Also not to overlook the incredible FX work and chaos of the set recreation of flooding) 

THIS IS GOING TO HURT

7.75/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Would make for the most miserable double-watch if coupled with the previous, but this show is indeed one that'll hurt you if you care about the state of the healthcare system, may it be in the UK or elsewhere as it says a lot about societies and nowadays life at large. 

FOR ALL MANKIND 7.4/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We slept on this show for wayyy too long but for every space fan, history fan out there this will be the most fascinating show.

WESTWORLD 7.5/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I guess we also have to say goodbye to WESTWORLD. Despite the many changes and twists no other show will ever be able to replicate the viewing experience and effect, it had on so many...

The White Lotus Opening theme - the remix

[pandanscafanfiction]

Hi! 3, 10, 35? 🌿😊

3: are there any specific themes you enjoy exploring in your fics?

Hmmmm.... usually the theme is always surrounding a romance or a conflict of romance. A lot of people dislike the romanticization of love or they find people who write homosexual romance are "sexualizing" it but I find that I love the "thought" or the "romanticization" of love and physical affection and it is what i really focus on and becomes the center of all my fics. The real me in real life is very uncomfortable and unwanting of physical intimacy and physical affection due to things that have happened to me years ago, not too long after i graduated high school. To put it shortly, i was put in multiple sexual situations by two different men at my old place of work that I could not escape from. I haven't been the same since then and though i do go to therapy now, it is a slow-going process. It is why all of my fics are only m/m or m/m/m pairings. I can't bear the thought of writing a heterosexual romance and even today I can't really read them either, mostly... Nowadays I'm attempting. I'm only just now starting to try thanks to a few other lovely HL writers who write MCs as gender nuetral as possible and that's nice because I can picture the genetals MC has to my desires or mental health capacity at each individual moment. Sorry- this one was a long one and probably not what you were expecting... 😅 Basically, I write mostly centered all around love and physical romance to make up for the lack thereof in my real life and (and I don't like putting it like this but it's true) feel normal since none of these things bring me pleasure anymore.

10: what's your favorite part about the fic writing process?

Oh, DEFFINITELY the diologue! Every draft of a fic I write, I only write diologue. I go in with some desire of where I want it to go overall, but otherwise these characters really do just write themselves. I love how they interact with one another whether it be angsty or silly. ❤️ Then all I do is fill out the scene around them or their feelings/actions to go along with their words 😊 I REALLY love dialogue.

35: what do you enjoy most about being a fic writer?

The lovely comments!!! I read and respond to each and every one because I am so thankful that people take the time to read my work and it really encourages me to keep writing when I know they are also having just as good of a time with the fic as me (most of the time they are having even more fun than me lol)! It also helps me judge/scale whether i'm doing a good job making the physical intimacy sound good and realistic/believable since i have no range of my own for a base. But I also love the community in general. I rarely get into something as deeply as I am with HL. The only others in life were FFXV a few years back and Naruto when I was in middle/high school 😅 but when I do, I love all the memes/content from the other creators and getting to know them as well.

Thanks for the asks! @silasbug ❤️ it made my day ❤️

Current Events: Sagutoyas

No community is immune to problematic people, nor will every creator prove to be deserving of the platform they occupy. Such is the case for Sagutoyas, a once-popular creator in the Warriors animation community, now revealed to be completely undeserving of it.

[Alt Text: Sagutoyas' YouTube profile picture of her fursona Sally against an electric blue background: Artist credit]

Sagutoyas (or Sally) is a 25-year-old Swedish self-proclaimed artist, author, and animator. She began her career creating content on Youtube in 2012, posting speedpaints of primarily her own original characters. She wouldn’t post her first Warriors-related video until 2016, a work-in-progress of a Multi-Animator-Project (MAP) part for Sparrow’s World’s “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” MAP. In the following years, Sally’s expressive animations would quickly rise to popularity, and she would continue to find success and growing support making MAP parts, animation memes, and even hosting projects herself.

Sally’s content was not limited to Warrior Cats animations and artwork, but she quickly became well-known within the fandom specifically. In only six years, she amassed a subscriber count of around 154k on Youtube. However, in light of recent events, that count has dropped by several thousand subscribers in the span of only two days.

Before we continue, this is a good time to dispense a quick trigger warning. The following paragraphs discuss allegations of grooming and the sending NSFW content to minors. No explicit images are shown, but they are mentioned, and censored versions are contained in some of the linked documents. Please keep yourself safe.

Earlier this week, a Google Docs document was released on Twitter regarding events that took place primarily in 2018/2019, outlining allegations against Sagutoyas for grooming, dating an underaged person, and behaving inappropriately in a chat that contained minors. The original document was taken down due to Google’s TOS, but an archive of it can be found here. (A further trigger warning for that document can be found within.)

For several months in 2018-19, Sally engaged in a non-platonic relationship with another creator (now going by the name “Sol”) when she was over 20 and he was 17, but the majority of their interactions would begin when the victim was only freshly 16, including a confession of feelings for each other. Sally would continuously ask Sol to keep their relationship on the down-low; she knew what she was doing would have consequences for her reputation if she was found out, and she wanted to avoid them. Furthermore, Sol was a fan of Sally’s, and as such, even without an age difference, there was already a power imbalance between the two. Sol himself wrote in his own document on the subject: “as it turns out, maybe I was just some fanboy all along. I felt “special” feeling like Sally’s “sidekick”, being treated in a way other adults wouldn’t treat me[...]”

Several others have also come forward, all members of the same chat with Sagutoyas (named, distastefully, “YaoiClan,” following the naming conventions of the Warriors books), to corroborate this story and offer points of their own. One mentioned that, despite the chat consisting mostly of minors, “NSFW posting was very common in the server” (Chikki). Others still came forward with other red flags and problematic behaviors that were missed—like stream clips that were lost due to unlisted VODs, including one where Sally read “bad yaoi” live on her channel. This was something that apparently happened on multiple occasions, according to this Twitter thread written by another former member of “YaoiClan.” NSFW artwork was also created and shared by Sally.

With all of this said, I encourage you to read the documents in order to understand and be aware of all the details of the situation, but I also want to call for kindness and consideration toward any of the victims involved in Sagutoyas’s actions, and especially for those who were minors at the time. It was not the fault of anyone who was underaged and engaged in it; it was Sally’s responsibility as the adult in the situation to put a halt to it, much less instigate it herself. Already victims have asked to be left alone, and their wishes deserve to be respected.

The Warriors fandom has made impressive strides as a community on the internet. There have been countless extraordinary collaborative projects, animations, artworks, and otherwise fan creations made by the people who occupy it. However, while many do, not everyone deserves a platform here. In light of this new information, it may be a good time to reevaluate who you choose to support.

So there's this Artist Bingo meme where I read the squares and was like. "I've seen all of these in New Teen Titans." I figured I'd see how many bingos it gets.

If I counted my bingos right, that's NINE.

Blank meme available here!

And here's a list of when I remember all of these I marked. I'm not grabbing issue numbers because I need to go to bed soon and also, dyscalculia forbids me from Memorizing Numbers now that the TitansTower index page is apparently gone forever. But for most of them, I remember the plot context...

(It may be obvious who my Very Favorite character is here. Sorry, not sorry.)

Detailed interior: Everywhere. Titans Tower. Museums. Laboratories. That one fight scene splash page where Marv just captioned it "a picture is worth a thousand words". The meta moment in A Tale of Titans Tomfoolery when the captured creators look around at the place (a machinery-heavy lab) and I think it's George Perez commenting "I'm glad I don't have to draw this".

Character trying to reach under a couch: I can't remember a scene like this, but somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. (There's a scene in the '03 cartoon where they're looking for the remote under a couch. I stuck to the comics for this, though.)

Expression sheet: I don't recall ever seeing one? If someone has links to them though, by all means, clue me in!

Armor+metallic effects: Any panel Vic/Cyborg is in. On covers, he even has the sparkles. (Particularly, Tales of the New Teen Titans #1, I believe?)

Detailed clothing/drapery study: Any panel Raven's in. Even her casual outfits in college (saris and such) usually had a weird amount of detail. (LOTS of detail in her pin-ups and the cover of Tales of the New Teen Titans #2, though!) And Azar's body before she passed. And a lot of things related to Azarath.

Vehicles/machinery: Again, Cyborg. Vehicles are usually in the background or used by the bad guys, I think? And of course, there's a JeriRae scene that takes place in a car (Joey's, I assume?)

Combat sequences / impact pose: It's a superhero comic. There's At Least One Per Issue.

Extreme low / high angle: I know I've SEEN them, there are a lot of wide shot splash pages. (Specifically in my mind: The first glimpse we get of Azarath is one, if I remember correctly!) But also some covers and I think the issue with... was it Francis Kane? Whoever randomly got uncontrollable ghost/ferrokinesis/electronic powers. The issue someone recognized Raven from Time Magazine, I think there's a vortex shot like this. Also images of people falling were sometimes Very Perspective'd.

Kissing/hugging poses: They like each other and there were certainly some kisses and plenty of hugs. (Specifically: Starfire snogs Dick the moment they met, and I vividly remember a panel of Donna and Kory hugging in a pool after some sort of combat practice, maybe during the Judas Contract?)

Stretching/reaching poses: Does Nightwing's acrobatics count? There's a really cool sequence in the GAMES graphic novel like that! Also pretty sure Gar stretches/reaches often, just as a physical emoting thing.

Painted portrait: Okay, maybe I stretched this one a little, but there's a storyline involving a museum where presumably the pictures are painted and there's also that image on Raven's wall that I always assumed was a painting. (Can't remember where the latter was seen; maybe in the scene where Wally comes to ask Raven how college is going and she's in her room? It's not very detailed, just a round frame with a face on it and all colored in the same uniform gold, but I figured it's a portrait.)

Detailed Sci-Fi Props / Environment: There are multiple storylines that take place on other worlds, other dimensions, other planets! Azarath and Tamaran, there's your Fantasy and Science Fiction right there. They were ALWAYS rather detailed. Tales of the New Teen Titans #2 and #4 took place mostly in these places. (Though Kory's, of course, involved more spaceships.)

Free space: Actually not as free as it sounds in these comics! What comes to mind for me is that sequence of images specifically right at the start of Terror of Trigon where Gar's showing how Raven's face has changed.

Animal portrait: Gar exists. 'Nuff said. (Particularly detailed shots of this tend to be on the covers. I think Tales of the New Teen Titans #3 has a wider selection in one shot?)

Turnaround reference: I got these on TitansTower and they were stored on my now-defunct external hard drive, and unfortunately I don't know where to find them again. But I know a set exists, and within that set definitely one exists for Raven, because I used it to make my first cosplay.

Dancing poses: The panels I remember aren't plot-relevant, but especially in the more mundane moments you find these here and there. (There was a 60's Teen Titans comic, at least one, that centered around a music venue, though that's also stretching it a little, heh.)

Weapons: Nightwing has some, Cyborg has some built in, and Starfire uses them occasionally. (I think there's a point in TotNTT#4 when she's talking about training with the Warlords of Okaara and it shows her using some sort of staff?) Also plenty of bad guys; I think HIVE was fond of blasting people with lazers.

Extreme lighting: Oh my god, Terror of Trigon had some EXTREME lighting moments. During the seance especially. Also in "Day in the Life" when Raven falls into that other plane of existence?

Characters eating: I hope I'm remembering this right, but I'm pretty sure there's a moment (can't remember the plot details, but I think it's later and teeechnically probably in New Titans when Raven and Donna are discussing Raven getting her own place?) when they stop at a hot dog stand and Raven just gets... a pile of sauerkraut.

(Thinking back, that may have been french fries, but for the past 20ish years I interpreted it as sauerkraut.)

Horse: Day in the Life had a horse-drawn cart! Pretty sure Wally had to stop it to save someone from being run over or something.

Still life study: So many close-ups of plot-relevant items and places and pretty shots of locations and skies and buildings and just... So Many.

Shoes: When were there NOT shoes?

Hand study: So many hand poses, too, but especially prevalent are those on Jericho, the mute character signing ASL.

Sleeping poses: That infamous shot of Dick and Kory in Terror of Trigon! (Well, okay, they probably weren't... sleeping.) And also people being knocked unconscious by villain attacks (or Raven's attacks).

High-detail landscape or architecture: Azarath! Tamaran! Paradise Island! The NYC skyline! They had a schematics/blueprint thing of Titans Tower in like issue 3, for heck's sake! Pick a plot and Take Your Pick!

B-Sides of a Recovering Genre-Phobic: Court Cases and Album Covers

NOTE: This following section discusses a small modern controversy over the album cover. It touches briefly on the themes of CSA. Please skip to the next section if such discussing might be differcult for you.

Some interest is in the album cover, as in 2021 the model of the cover, Spencer Elden, is sueing Nirvana for Child Pornagraphy. To clarify the main argument is that the image cover, of him as a four month baby floating in a pool, constitutes said CP Materials. This case has been promptly denied for what I would think are obvious reasons. If the logic was followed to its inevitable conclusion then Anne Geddes would be in prison forever. I think there is a good conversation to be had over consent of child models and the ways that innocous nudity can cross the line through context. I can't find the specifics but there was a controversy a few years back where an OF creator posted a Home Video with a suggested caption. The paywalled video was revealed to be her as a child playing in a kiddy pool. I need to be clear that there should be a honest discussion on how Elden image is used and that if he doens't want his dick out on the most well known album cover ever that should be discussed by the people invovled.

I don't want to invalidate peoples feeling but at the same time I feel like this is a false equivilancy to the actually type of explotation that happens to children. The Additional Tortes of the case, the idea that he has no privacy because everyone saw what his dick looked like as a baby, and that it has prevented him from opportunities due to same kind of discrimination or infamy are near laughable. I find it hard to believe that a starbucks manager isn't going to give you a job because you were a proto-meme in the 90s.

I do want to consider his claims that this cover is 'lechiavious' and 'shocking'. The notion that the mere image of a baby not wearing cloths is somehow vulger or lewd is troubling. right? I feel like any person who could find something suggestive about this image already is the type of person that shouldn't be let around child in the first place.

However the phrase shocking is rather interesting because this art is shocking just not because of, at least not only because of, the nudity.

Weirdly enough its the dollar.

A baby is innocent, it doesn't understand any of the subtext of the world it exists purely within the realm of the physical and sensate. It doesn't understand what money is, the value of it, the hedgenomic pressures to perform for the dollar, the conspicious consumption of wealth. It does not want the dollar for metaphysical constructed reasons. He wants the dollar because its pretty, because it is aestetical pleasing.

The pool water acting as embryonic fluid and the nudity of the baby reads into this symbolism of the innocent and unborn. Somebody who hasn't been hurt by the world yet. and the dollar is a trap.

Its literally on a fish-hook a cartoonish way of luring somebody to there doom and looking at this image its poignant. Its almost religious like the original sin, like watching eve about to bite into the apple. This baby is striving for something that will ultimately ruin it without realizing the danger its in.

So yes I agree that the cover is shocking. Its a very poetic piece of art and a step above most album covers. Its probably why a lot of people like it.

I feel that I have perhaps been rather harsh on Elden, I do want to sympathize with him, to understand how it could be differcult for so many people to have seen a picture of you from before you could remember. But its also hard to contend with his past perspective on the relationship he has to the photo. For the first 25 years of his life he was rather proud of the connection doing reshoots of the image multiple times. I can understand changing ones mind about such a thing but the way that his court case has gone about it. Framing the situration explicitely as CSA calling this image pornagraphic feels sensationalist. It feels very much like a hail mary of relevency. I hope Elden finds a situration thats equitable to him but I also don't care for the way that he has watered down the meaning of what he is accusing nirvana of.

Anyway Whores that was my own two thoughts on the subject and I am happy to here your perspective. Thank you for letting me scream into the void and by an apologist like a terrible person.

What is Meme Marketing and How to Use Memes Perfectly

What is Meme Marketing and How to Use Memes Perfectly

A new movie may be coming out, or a celebrity may make headlines for some actions. Perhaps a huge sporting event is unfolding somewhere, or a politician said something controversial - today, you can hear about them all through memes before you can find them on the news or any generic online content. In fact, even popular news outlets use memes as memes have the power to relate with the audience.

According to a report by a top meme marketing agency, businesses are incorporating memes in their content marketing strategies, and it is not surprising since in a marketplace where consumers - especially the younger demographic - show increased aversion to advertisements, memes have become a medium to promote a business while maintaining the humor that people love. 

What is not to love about memes? 

Memes are everywhere on the Internet, and they keep improving, as creators can easily access diverse content and get creative using audio, pictures, videos, and GIFs. Furthermore, when you consider how easy it is to create memes and the massive communities responsible for meme vitality, there is absolutely no reason why you should not invest in meme marketing today.

What is Meme Marketing? 

In Meme marketing, the humorous context of popular/unique memes is used to entertain and inform your target audience. It is an ongoing process of creating multiple memes with consistent themes, messaging, and voice to meet your marketing objectives - which can include raising awareness, building relatability, and promoting brand stories, products, or services. 

Over the years, Brands of all sizes have created personalized meme strategies for blogs, social media platforms, and emails by working with a top meme marketing agency like Grynow.

Top 3 Ways to Use Memes Perfectly in 2024 

Social media 

Social media platforms are where your audiences encounter different types of memes daily. Hence, In a time when people generally skip or forget generic pictures and videos, memes are your best option to reach and convert your social media audience, especially the younger crowd, since memes are inspired by popular trends they follow. Furthermore, trends change constantly, but by consistently repurposing viral memes - like the recent Bhupendra Jogi meme - to fit your social media image, you can stay relevant in the eyes of your current and potential customers.

Blog Posts 

You would have created several memes for your social media handles, and by uploading them on your blog, you can create consistency in branding, style, and voice.

Imagine your readers clicking on your blog link, and they are compelled to stay after every blog section because you created an engaging interaction with memes. For example, ending the introduction of the "salt bae" meme with the text "Just the intro keep reading ;)" and as the reader progresses, they are greeted with memes that help them understand every blog section - like including Charlie Day's Meme with the caption, "digital marketers trying to keep up with multiples Trends be like" before you start listing the solutions. Using memes helps provide substance to your lengthier articles, which keeps the readers reading for longer, thus helping your search engine optimization efforts.

Emails 

Instead of attaching videos with large file sizes, you can insert memes in your email copies to your email lists. Memes do not affect your primary email message delivery. They can significantly improve your open and click-through rates, as your audience will always have something interesting to look forward to every time their screens light up with your email notification. 

Memes are also a fun addition to emails you send to -

Your staff, for important event notices, birthday wishes, festive greetings, etc.

Your shareholders, to give them moments of quirky humor by highlighting, for instance, your company's quarterly performance in memes.

Tips for Creating the Best Memes 

Picture Selection 

Understand trends: look at the images that are trending online. By listing pictures already engaging your audience in real-time, you can capitalize on their popularity by adding your unique branding mix.

Consider audience preferences: analyze the type of memes your audience likes, comments on, shares, upvotes, retweets, or bookmarks most of the time.

Consider using unique content: you can look for inspiration from successful memes to select new images (never used in any memes). Ensure the pictures you choose align with your brand identity and can help generate relatability with your audience.

Copyright: ensure the images you select are not tied with copyright or trademark claims. Get the necessary license and permission to use the photos.

Text Usage 

Clear Distinctions: the text you add to your memes should enhance the overall appeal of the image instead of competing with it for the audience's attention. The text should align with the Meme's intended humor. 

Business-centric: the text you utilize should subtly talk about your business while keeping the humor element of the Meme alive.

Use simple language: make it easier for the audience to read your text so that they can understand your intended message and context.

Platform Selection 

The selection of your ideal platform should be determined by where your target audience is most active and the types of memes you create that can perfectly encapsulate your brand's ideologies, values, and messages. Select generic platforms when you are piggybacking on the popularity of viral memes, while niche platforms work for memes you create with new ideas, text, and images.

Billionaire Elon Musk has never been shy about his love for Dogecoin. His continued support expressed through the X (formerly Twitter) platform was largely behind the meme coin’s impressive growth spurt back in 2021, causing it to surge over 26,000%. But it seems the billionaire’s involvement in the altcoin goes even deeper than expressing support on social media. Leaked Pages Reveal Involvement In Dogecoin Development A recent report from the Wall Street Journal has revealed that Elon Musk was involved with Dogecoin on a much deeper level than the community realized. The WSJ report contained a picture of a page of the billionaire’s upcoming biography that talked about his behind-the-scenes involvement in the meme coin. The page delves into Musk’s idea of wanting a social media platform where users would pay to be verified. This evolved over time to Musk’s brother Kimbal suggesting that a new social media platform be built with the ideas that the billionaire had put forward. At this junction, Musk reportedly became excited at the idea of such a platform. According to him, the social media platform would carry the ability for users to send money to each other, as well as creators being paid for things like stories, music, and videos. Musk then mentioned that “it could have a payment system using Dogecoin, the semi-serious cryptocurrency whose development he had been quietly funding.” This line from the book reveals that the billionaire had been involved with the coin behind the scenes, at a level much deeper than a couple of tweets or memes. Leaked page shows deeper involvement with DOGE | Source: Wu Blockchain on X While the page also shows that the crypto-friendly billionaire had wanted to work on “a blockchain social media system that does both payments and short text messages like Twitter,” Musk had gone on to purchase Twitter for a staggering $44 billion. He has since rebranded the social media platform to X, which is in line with the original idea he had in mind. Since purchasing X (formerly Twitter), Musk has slowly been turning it toward his original vision. X’s revenue sharing system implemented a few months ago has seen creators being paid for their impressions on the platform. Furthermore, X has also received a license to offer payments in multiple states as rumors spread about payment support on the platform. However, there have been no indications on whether Dogecoin will be implemented as a method of payment on the platform. The Elon Musk biography, written by Walter Isaacson, is slated to be released on September 12.
