Independent Bookstore Day with Judy Blume

Judy Blume owns a bookstore called Books & Books. I want to beef up my Judy Blume collection that has survived from childhood and adolescence. So what better way to celebrate the day, than to buy Judy Blume directly from her on Independent Bookstore Day! So I ordered the second in the Fudge series, one I loved, Otherwise Known As Sheila the Great; Freckle Juice, a book I probably haven’t read in…

[wileys-russo]

I'm not sure if you listened, if not you should it's so funny!

but could you do the reader on Jill's scotts coffee club podcast with georgia, leah and keira when leah whips out the cake? x

decided to make this a lowkey stanners x williamson!reader cause i love gee and she's underrated

colin the caterpillar II g.stanway

"-williamson i see you loitering about! get in here!" you looked up as you heard the ever familiar booming voice of one jill scott gesture you over. you caught georgia's eye as her and keira swiveled their heads, furiously waving you over to join them on the sofa, the set for jills podcast randomly plonked in the middle of the indoor training pitch.

"have you still got media duties babe?" your girlfriend asked, moving the microphone away from her mouth and you shook your head. "right in you come then!" keira moved over and patted the space in between her and georgia.

"is this live?" you asked as you took a seat, flashing a grin at jill and ben as you settled yourself on the sofa, your girlfriends spare arm coming to settle on your shoulders. "-and now we are joined by one of the worlds greatest strikers!" jill started, doing a drum roll on her knees.

"-but unfortunately alessia russo has been dodging my calls so we've had to settle for y/n williamson, round of applause please!" jill joked as you playfully rolled your eyes at the dig, showered in claps from the small crowd around you.

"you know you've never asked me on this show jilly, what happened to being your favourite williamson?" you tutted, one of the production assistants hurrying over to give you a mic.

"i had to keep that under wraps, had to suck up to the captain you know!" jill winked as you grinned, leaning a little more into georgia and crossing your legs. "jill might be the best suck up with the worst success rate we've ever met." keira announced as you and georgia hummed in agreement, ben egging you on to continue.

"she sucked up to sarina and the training team so much during the euros man. she'd be getting drinks, recounting plays, grabbing everyone gels-" you laughed at the memory. "-but then georgia could be on her death bed with cramp and jill would still stay on the bench." keira finished, jill agreeing as you all laughed along.

"oh no sorry interruption cause leah's just bought a colin the caterpillar!" keira gasped as she spotted your sister wandering close by with her birthday cake in hand. "go on birthday girl in you come!" you called out as she came closer, jill eagerly agreeing she sit down.

"cmere love." georgias hands found your waist, tugging you up to sit sideways on her lap as keira shuffled across and leah plonked herself down on the end, your legs half draped over keira as georgias hands wound themselves round your waist protectively and she softly kissed the back of your neck.

you were aware parts of the podcast were filmed but neither of you were bothered, it had hardly been the worlds best kept secret the two of you were seeing one another.

georgias instagram was almost like a shrine to you at this point. the two of you both playing for bayern, much to your north london blooded sisters disgust, you spent everyday together and only fell more and more in love as time passed.

"can we eat it?" georgia asked with a gasp as leah nodded, cracking open the box and gently sliding out the childhood favourite. "i think surely i win best sister for gettin her that?" you clapped for yourself, everyone joining in but leah who rolled her eyes.

"no cause you gave it to me after you smashed a cupcake in my literal eye at breakfast!" leah huffed, handing over the cake to keira after she took a large. "it was your forehead leah honestly! you win most dramatic." you countered, the blonde leaning over to smack your leg for the comment as you grinned.

"now now girls play nice play nice!" jill laughed, re-directing the conversation as keira snapped you off a section of cake which you accepted, happily smashing a large portion into your mouth before holding it over your shoulder for your girlfriend to do the same.

"ah i've never been so happy." georgia sighed contently as the two of you took turns munching away at the chocolate cake. "babe thats my finger!" you smacked her with a yelp as the girl got a little too eager and bit your finger among the cake.

"sorry love, no one's safe when there's a colin round." georgia kissed your cheek in apology, happily accepting more of the cake from keira as your sister offered you her piece, grinning as you snapped off the ears with your teeth just like you'd both been brought up to.

"well this is definitely a highlight of the season. four of englands finest just sat here eating a caterpillar like an apple." ben sighed jokingly as the four of you giggled to yourselves, you leaning back into georgia and clutching your stomach as keira took a large bite right from the middle without a care in the world.

"lee five second rule!" you pointed, voice muffled by the large mouthful of cake shoved in it as your sister scrambled to pick up the piece which fell on the floor, blowing on it and popping it into her mouth with a grin.

"now i know this is audio but for the listeners at home they are literally just picking this cake up and shoving it in their mouth!" jill recounted, shaking her head at the sight. "they're eating it like its a hotdog or something!" ben added on as georgia fed you one of the legs with a giggle.

"that foot was incredible." you mumbled out with a happy sigh, still chewing on it as keira smacked your leg in agreement, opening her mouth to show you she also had one in her mouth as your head fell onto georgias shoulder, again clutching your stomach in laughter.

"imagine if sarina see's this that would be so good. we're over here talking about elite performance-" "-elite performance and now we're just picking up a caterpillar without a care-" "-yeah thats it girls, just shove it in your mush!"

"i eat a kitkat before every game anyway." you shrugged, bending down and snapping off another foot from the half in keiras hands. "do you really?" ben asked in surprise.

"she does! she's done it since she was little, used to throw tantrums like you wouldn't believe when our mum tried to stop her." leah smirked at the memory. "i really did. i'd just find out where she hid them and steal one, i'm too fast to catch anyway once she realised." you grinned once you'd swallowed your mouthful of cake.

"i always leave one in her boots for her to find when she's getting ready now at bayern. you should have seen how much crap she copped her first game, no one could believe she was eating a kitkat before her debut." georgia laughed as you fondly patted her knee.

"i run faster when i've had chocolate!" you shrugged, shovelling another mouthful of cake in as everyone laughed. "i mean the proofs in the pudding there wasn't a euros match i didn't see you not have one and you scored about ten goals!" jill laughed.

"could probablys run a 10K marathon right now, light work!" you teased with cake mushed in your mouth and a cheeky grin, georgia kissing your cheek with a smile as you used your thumb to wipe away some loose chocolate from the corner of her mouth before licking it off your finger with a wink.

"right i'm off!" leah announced a short moment later, standing to her feet and brushing the crumbs off her knee's. "am i taking it?" she gestured to the few small pieces left, packing it up at her friends nods.

"well. he were bloody lovely weren't he!"

Hiiii!!! Could i get a box of cupcakes where you assign a band or singer (and song if you feel like it!) to the characters you write for? I need new music recs and you have rly good tasted based on the playlists you've posted!

You're so sweet, thank you angel! I hope you find anything worthwhile in here

James - he's actually my hardest one because I think he listens to a bit of everything and isn't picky so long as it's sort of peppy, fun music. However, I headcanon that his go-to at karaoke is Britney Spears so we're gonna go with her Sirius - sorry to be basic but Conan Gray really is so him to me, especially Alley Rose <3 (but if I get a second answer, Queen) Remus - we all know about him and Bowie, but dare I say Elliot Smith? I just can so easily hear him playing quietly while Remus is in the kitchen or sitting in front of the window, and for reasons unknown Angel in the Snow makes me think of him Lily - I think I read once that she's a Fleetwood Mac girl and I've just never been able to get it out of my head since Steve - it's the 80s thing I know but Tears for Fears makes me think of him Eddie - Metallica, but also Maneskin (a little bit) Robin - I lied, she's my hardest one. I kind of feel like she'd like Florence + The Machine and also Hemlocke Springs (in particular Sever the Blight) but I have no idea why honestly, sorry Spencer - I don't think he really listens to a lot of music (he might prefer podcasts) but when he does I think it's either classical (like Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi) or whatever he's heard on the radio that's gotten stuck in his head (he's currently going through a real Chappel Roan phase) tasm Peter - listens to a mix of everything, but I think one of his favorite songs is Fantasy by Mariah Carey Carmy - also doesn't listen to a lot of music, but was big into Fall Out Boy when he was younger (it made him feel cool and badass, bless his heart) so sometimes he still listens to that

celebration!

looking for a reason to celebrate today? so am i!

get yourself a sweet treat! you deserve it for all the hard work you've done recently, even if you don't think you do! (i'm enjoying a cupcake as we speak!)

listen to your favorite song, album, or podcast! it'll make you feel better, i promise!

allow yourself some time to rest! five minutes here, five minutes there, the rest of the afternoon, your entire eventing - whatever you can afford!

watch your favorite youtube video, tv show, or movie! (this ties nicely into the last one huh?)

if you're celebrating for the same reason i am... the first year anniversary of my fic That's All She Wrote... here's some things we can do together!

go back and read your favorite parts or chapters! then come back and tell me about them and i might have some juicy bts info for you...

make sure to comment/like/kudos if you haven't already on your preferred reading platform, (tumblr, wattpad, or ao3!)

share with your friends if you're comfortable! if they like oc fics, big time rush, and long fics! tasw is fandom-blind friendly, has an achingly long slowburn, and has a strong female lead character if those are selling points!

make a post if you're comfortable, thoughts and rambles about the story, your own interpretations of scenes, drabbles, whatever! and tag me!

but wait! that's not all! i have questions for you!

share with me your future predictions or theories for the next few chapters to the end of the story!

favorite characters? tell me why! lets talk about them!

any burning questions not answered by the narrative or parts that seem vague and you'd like more clarification on? let me know! i'm a yapping machine!

anything i left out you're missing? let me tell you how i'd include it, why i didn't, or how it might pop up in the future!

any reoccurring themes you've noticed? (perhaps done unintentionally by me... but still cool to talk about...)

and finally... thank you! thank you whoever is reading this, for whatever reason! thank you! whether you've been here since last year or last night, your support and appreciation for my story means the world. having this creative outlet has brought me so much joy, and i'm honored to share it with you all. knowing other people are just as interested in my work as i am makes my heart literally soar. so join me in celebration, for whatever reason it may be! <333

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Tuesday, March 5

Xander: Buffy, this is all about fear. It's understandable, but you can't let it control you. 'Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to anger.' No wait, hold on. 'Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to the dark side.' Hold on, no, umm, 'First you get the women, then you get the money, then you...' okay, can we forget that? Buffy: Thanks for the Dadaist pep talk, I feel much more abstract now. Xander: The point is, you're Buffy. Buffy: Yeah, maybe in high school I was Buffy. Xander: And now in college you're Betty Louise? Buffy: Yeah, I'm Betty Louise Plotnick of East Cupcake, Illinois. Or I might as well be. Xander: Buffy, I've gone through some fairly dark times in my life, faced some scary things, among them the kitchen at 'The Fabulous Ladies Night Club.' Let me tell you something, when it's dark and I'm all alone and I'm scared or freaked out or whatever, I always think, 'What would Buffy do?' You're my hero. Ok, sometimes when it's dark and I'm all alone I think, 'What is Buffy wearing?' Buffy: Can that be one of those things you never, ever, tell me about?

🦄, ☕️ and 💌, for the meme!

🦄 - You are gifted a mythical creature as a familiar: what creature are you choosing?

I love dragons first and best, although a griffin would also be tremendous. I don't know what I would do with either! I'm afraid of heights, so flying is probably out, and I don't have any enemies I currently wish to destroy. I guess I could send them to protests that for health reasons I can't go to myself. Imagine an angry dragon holding up a sign! 'Down with this sort of thing.' 'No more ballads at Eurovision'.

☕️ - Plan a tea party! What will you be serving and who are you choosing as guests?

Hmm, I don't drink tea, so I would personally be drinking hot chocolate, but I would be delighted to provide fancy teas for other people! Also lots of baked goods to snack on. Cupcakes and shortbread and cream horns and so on. I don't know what goes with tea, I've just been watching a lot of celebrity bake-off recently. As for who to invite...the obvious answer is friends in other countries I'll never get to meet in person irl, assuming this is the magical sort of tea party which exists across time and space. Alternatively I might invite notorious wits and notorious jackasses to the party and then not show up myself, just record them talking/engaging in combat and turn it into a wildly lucrative podcast series.

💌 - Have you ever, or would you ever, give(n) someone a handwritten love letter?

I'm thirty one and have never been in love or even had a serious crush on an actual living human I know personally, so I feel like there's a possibility I might be aro, or something along those lines? But I am also horribly shy and very private and may just never have had a wide enough pool of friends to develop those feelings for someone compatible. If I did, I think a handwritten love letter would be a lovely thought. Unfortunately my handwriting is rubbish. My paramour would take psychic damage.

[imhereforscm]

How are you? ⚘

Hi hiiiii, my cupcake cups!!😘😘😘😘

It's 9:30 pm here✨

A few more hours and we'll be saying bye bye to June. And on 3rd of July there's gonna be a full moon and I've already marked my calendar꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡♡⁠˖⁠꒰⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠⑅⁠꒱

(I actually marked my calendar on 2nd, 3rd and 4th, because I might have read the dates wrong or something, so I'm giving myself a range, so I don't miss it💖💖)

ALSO, MY MOM SAYS HI BACK🥺🥺🥺🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹✨💖💖✨✨✨💕💕❤️

I'm doing good, mostly sleeping lol. And for the first time in months, I've had pleasant dreams. They're buttshit weird, but at least they're not nightmares.

Something I keep thinking, yet I always forget to mention is that: Teorus' dad is named Thanassis and I remember someone saying what a weird name it is lmaoo

And it's very funny to me, because I know a guy (we're not friends, I just know him) who's named Thanassis HAHA AND I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT

Thanassis is a pretty common name in Greece and it's funny, because Teorus' dad is named that. First time reading that name, I was like- "Wait a secOND!"

Also, yesterday I was thinking...... Would I let a vampire bite me......?

I've found a variety of interpretations on vampire biting:

• That it doesn't hurt and doesn't leave scars (the one I use in my fics)

• It hurts and whether or not it leaves scars is not too certain. It depends if they're being rough I guess

So one part of me is like- "If it doesn't hurt and he can bite me like- Let's say, my arm without leaving scars, I'll be fine. I will let him." BUT THE OTHER PART OF ME IS LIKE- "WHAT IF IT'S LIKE A VACCINE SENSATION???"

So yeah, I present you my 3 am thoughts. I will contemplate more about it in the shower. Lol.

(now I have a fic idea for vampire!Scorpio × vampire!Zyglavis 👀👀👀)

BTW

I found this podcast on Spotify (I love these podcasts) and it was about mythology of like- Hawaii, if I'm not mistaken! AND THERE'S A MOON GODDESS AND SHE'S AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN, LEMME ATTACH THE PODCAST

I hope you all had and will keep having a wonderful day, lovelies!!😘😘😘😘

Trends: What to Expect from Digital Marketing and SEO Agencies This Year

SEO Trends to Watch in 2024:

Search Intent Will Be King:

Search intent—the true purpose behind a user’s search—will continue to guide organic marketers. Understanding what users are really looking for is crucial. Are they seeking quick answers, transactional information, or in-depth knowledge? Meeting search intent requires finesse and a nuanced understanding of your audience’s needs. Keep an eye on how Google responds to this trend—it’s like following the North Star in the SEO galaxy!

AI-Generated Content and Quality:

Brace yourself for the AI revolution! As artificial intelligence generates more content, the challenge lies in creating high-quality material. Some marketers might churn out AI-generated drafts, but those who elevate their game will rise to the top. Think of it as a content quality showdown: AI vs. human creativity. Who will win?

Regular Content Updates:

The days of “set it and forget it” are over. Google loves fresh content. Regular updates signal that your website is alive, kicking, and relevant. So, dust off those old blog posts, give them a makeover, and let them shine anew!

Brand Signals and Authority:

Remember when backlinks and brand signals ruled the SEO kingdom? Well, they’re making a comeback! Google craves trusted, authoritative sources. So, build your brand, earn those backlinks, and let your authority shine like a beacon in the digital fog.

Mobile Page Performance Matters:

Mobile-first indexing isn’t going anywhere. Google’s still peeking at your mobile site before your desktop one. So, optimize for speed, responsiveness, and mobile-friendliness. Your users (and Google’s bots) will thank you! 📱

Page Experience Updates:

Google’s all about user happiness. Expect more emphasis on page experience metrics—like Core Web Vitals. Fast-loading pages, smooth interactions, and delightful designs will be the golden ticket to higher rankings.

Digital Marketing Trends in 2024:

Artificial Intelligence (AI):

AI isn’t just for sci-fi movies. It’s here, and it’s transforming marketing. From personalized recommendations to chatbots, AI enhances user experiences. Imagine an AI assistant whispering, “Psst, this user loves cat videos—show them more!”

E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness):

Google’s still obsessed with E-A-T. Prove your expertise, be authoritative, and ooze trustworthiness. It’s like building a digital reputation that screams, “I’m legit!”

Helpful Content Creation:

Content isn’t just about keywords; it’s about helping users. Solve their problems, answer their questions, and be their digital superhero.

Multimedia Magic:

Words are cool, but visuals are cooler. Embrace multimedia—videos, infographics, podcasts. It’s like adding sprinkles to your content cupcake!

Voice Search:

Hey Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant—are you listening? Voice search is booming. Optimize for voice queries, and your brand might just become the voice of reason!

Local SEO Love:

Local businesses, rejoice! Google’s smitten with local search. Nail your Google My Business profile, gather reviews, and be the neighborhood hero.

Remember, trends are like waves—ride them, adapt, and stay afloat. Whether you’re an SEO wizard or a digital marketing sorcerer, 2024 holds exciting spells and enchantments.

So, my fellow digital voyager, which trend intrigues you the most? Or perhaps you have another magical topic you’d like to explore?

If you’re looking for a partner to elevate your brand online, Cubic Designz might be a great fit!

I’ve summoned the trends from the digital realm! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to unravel.  Learn more about these trends and dive deeper into the magic!

Movie Review: Friday the 13th 3D (1982)

Letterbox link: 3 1/2 stars Caught a continuity error this time: The hammock bed, during sex has a homemade quilt, after the shower has a fur blanket. Whoops. Now I have the first three, my favorites out of the series, as steelbooks. I am a happy 80’s teen.  The age difference in appearance between Rick and Chris has always struck me as so odd. Looks like a teen and her teacher, instead of two…

A Hitch in Crime Solves Nine

Hey there, Team Li'l Bitches. All right, we're finally back on track with these pony reviews. It's all forward chronology from here! Genuinely, I don't know what's ahead, so we'll see what they do with the future.

Here's the cover:

Ah, it's Hitch. I'm not quite sure this counts as film noir. I think it explicitly has to be in black and white. What is this, then, film sepia? If that's not already a thing, please credit me for it. Either way, with the hat and the sepia tones, it puts me more in mind of Indiana Jones than a detective story. I guess Indiana is sort of an archaeology detective. They're not dissimilar stories, is what I'm saying. Other than the hat, the big sign of film noir is the venetian blinds. All in all, kind of a cool cover. And very muted for a pony story!

So if you remember back when we covered issue 11 for Halloween, Hitch wasn't in that issue because he's doing true crime podcasting now. Zipp borrowed some equipment from him, and she's doing the AV for him. They've called their show "MareCRIME Bay", which I'm not sure is stupid or brilliant. Stupilliant, let's call it. Hitch got into this whole thing digging up a cold case from before his time as sheriff, which changed his whole view on Maretime Bay. That's a dark path to go down, Hitch, are you sure you can handle it~?

So starting the podcast got him loads of viewers sending in new information about the case. Well, that's one way to solve cases, I suppose! So here's the case: Pansy Silverbell was a four-time winner of the local bake-off, headed there for her fifth year of competition. But she never made it there, and in fact was never seen again. All we know is she talked to two ponies before failing to reach her destination: Jazz Hooves and Dahlia. What kept her from the competition, and why has she never been seen again? That's honestly a pretty good mystery. Darker than I'd expect, and given some of the stories we've covered, no guarantee the answer isn't just as chilling.

Other facts about Pansy: she ran a baking club and spent most of her time volunteering. She liked soup, and made some killer cupcakes. That was her signature award-winner. She even bragged online about being ready to take the next competition, to the ire of some online commenters. None of the commenters have been identified. But what Hitch is sharing on episode 2 is some interesting photos the Pony Photobug Club caught. Lotta clubs in Maretime Bay, I'm noticing. Guess they needed some way to socialise while still isolating from the other races.

The photographs (available to listeners on their Ponygram account) at least prove Jazz and Dahlia were the ones Pansy spoke to. Jazz runs a hooficure salon in town, and Hitch isn't so manly that he's above making an appointment to talk to her for the case. As soon as he mentions her name, though, Jazz hauls him into the back room to talk. It's a small town, it wouldn't do to hear such things being asked about. Jazz asks if he's asking in an official capacity, since she's not sure how much she wants to say. Bit suspicious, if you ask me, and Hitch thinks so too.

So Jazz's story is just that she was minding her own business walking down the street--minding it a bit too closely, as she runs right into Pansy, knocking her cart over. She helps her pick up the cart, sees her off, that's pretty much it. Not much of a story. Hitch points out she looks a bit grim in the photo for such a simple incident, and she says maybe she was upset by something or somepony else. She continues to be a little bit shifty, such as suggesting she definitely doesn't know who these Ponygram commenters are, even when pronouncing their names perfectly.

Hitch himself didn't put the names together until he heard them aloud. One of the nastier comments left on Pansy's last post was from "DollyYeah". Which, you might notice, sounds like "Dahlia". So that's who Hitch goes to interview next. She runs a tidy little bakery stand, which must be nice to not have a lot of competition anymore. Which is basically what Hitch comes right out and says, accusing Dahlia of being mad enough to leave nasty comments online and then also arrange Pansy's disappearance. I think those two events are a bit apart in scope. I hope they are, anyway…

She and Hitch grab a bite from her own stand, where she reveals she learned to bake from Pansy. So, the reason she left mean comments online is because she was annoyed with Pansy. Or more specifically, the circumstances. The winner of the bake-off was probably going to get a sponsorship deal and 10,000 bits. And Pansy already had a pretty successful bakery as it was, while Dahlia wanted to open her own. Dahlia was one of those friends who gets overshadowed all their life by a more successful one. So she kinda lashed out. Sometimes friends have disagreements, that's all it was.

As is usual for this kind of story, this is the part where Hitch gets stymied for a little bit until an innocuous unrelated comment gives him the hint he needs to break it wide open. In this case (literally), Hitch and Zipp break for lunch and really enjoy their butternut squash chowder. Zipp even comments that she wants to nominate the chowder for an award, and it's that remark which gives Hitch his eureka moment. Pansy never showed at the bake-off--but was she even registered to compete? Or just to attend? He dashes off to pursue the leads.

So Hitch meets with the judges from the bake-off (for a chili lunch), and they confirm they haven't seen Pansy. But another thing they confirm is the very interesting detail that Dahlia was the winner of that contest. She got that 10,000 bits and opened the very bakery where she and Hitch had a snack. For some reason she didn't feel this info was pertinent to share. Before he can digest that (or his latest meal), he receives an interesting email. In short, it's a mysterious podcast listener, somepony who wants to meet him tomorrow afternoon…

Hitch arrives the next day to meet the mysterious email sender, who turns out to be… Pansy Silverbell herself. She's been listening to the podcast, and is quite surprised that she's the subject. She's brought a couple of one of her singature treats. Friendship is like cookies, you see. You need equal icing on both sides, or it won't stick. And that's when the other email recipient drops by: Dahlia. She apologises for running out on Pansy, but she's not concerned about all that. Instead she invites the pair of them to her house--right next door to Dahlia's shop.

Pansy serves them some soup and comes clean about the whole thing. Jazz was the only one from their old friend group who knew, and she pressured Pansy to send that email after the podcast started up. So what's going on is that Pansy never wanted to be "the best", she just happened to be really good at stuff and outshone her friends by accident. Eventually, the prospect of being the champion winner for a fifth time and getting a sponsorship was too much for her. She abandoned everypony and disappeared so she could find herself.

That's it, basically! She wasn't even sure baking was her calling and is into soups now. She just never knew how to start up with "I'm not dead and live next door" to Dahlia, which is fair. The two start over, and Hitch starts up episode 4 of his podcast by declaring he's calling off the investigation. I'd say I dunno how he stretched that all out to four episodes, but I've seen modern comics stretch an entire storyline out to six issues, so actually I believe it. But ye, the comic ends with the important lesson that some things are unsolved because some folks just want a little privacy. Case--and comic book--closed~!

Honestly? Kinda liked this issue. Probably one of the better mysteries they've attempted, and they had a whole miniseries about mystery-solving. I have two main critiques with it. First, I'd say this is a great example of how they do when they focus solely on one or two characters--except it's not really about Hitch, is it? Hitch is just the connecting piece that links all the rest of the story together. And speaking of things connecting it all together... That's my other complaint. This is much more minor, but like... Every lead Hitch followed, other than Jazz, involved a meal of some kind. Like, he didn't need to get chili with the bake-off judges for the story to work, but he did. I thought it was all building to some punchline about detective work making him feel full or something. I dunno, it just felt like a joke set-up that never happened~

Hi cupcakes

I have been afk from streaming, I have been busy with work with my artist on my sub badge for twitch and kick. Also, I have been talking to many people to get on podcasts and address the whole situation that happen on kick and I am going to put all my card on the table. leak all dms and the vod. So a big wave is coming for them all. While they so rested and everyone befriend each other when they didn't know each other. the fact I know and watch people for over 1 year-ish on twitch fact she befriends them and now defend their action is spit on my face. which I will mention and name-drop them all. Oh boy fuck yeah am calling everyone out. The assholes and the people whom I thought was my friend. All of them will have a piece of that too.

I am 10 steps ahead of them all. They delete and lie about me around the community kick but when I show what I collect screenshots whole dm convo from them all. Even that girl I thought was a friend.

it should be fun to bring them all into the public eye to show what kind of person they all are. They all playing all mighty adults and think they are so pitch perfect and do not condone it fact befriending the same people that were talking shit is just shows the part of the fucking problem.

I have spoken with some people and also shown them screenshots and vod also a link to my blog where I have posted the dms they used to say I am harassing them which couldn't be far from the truth.

No. Answer your question and thought I don't give fuck about any of them and how it will affect them. When I call them all out in front of a huge audience since they don't give fuck about me or any of their so-called friends reach out and ask how I am doing. I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN FUCK. Publicly people won't fuck with people like that. People can make their own minds. They think that people will support them. reality is only their community will have their back. But someone that went through harassment and the level they talk about me. So many people will not be okay with that. It's my time to air this shit out.

EYE FOR EYE. I come with receipts and a facts. What proof do they fucking have the same dm I have already leaked. That aint harassment. As my "my story" post I fucking had to post what harassment means. This won't be a good look for any of them or the platform the way they look at others' ways.

Trust I am not letting this go until the whole fucking publicly bigger audience does not fucking view bots that they thought they air shit out front of bots.

the podcast fucking audience going to be real actual people watching me talk about this and with another woman that went through harassment and knows how it feels. if they feel encouraged to speak out. I am going to be in multi podcasts addressing everything that happens on kick. Since they hiding it I am not going to hide shit. See how it feels to be in my fucking shoes. They might ban me and try to silence me as always they always put dirty laundry under the rug. This of going to be a bad look for kick but I didn't choose this path. They choose not to care. I am going to be transparent

twitch.tv/am_shay You can watch me on there

kick.com/shay

I stream on twitch too guys actual stream on there not long ago. Trying to build my twitch viewership and get partnered too. Since that last step, I need to. Since the only issue with twitch is the viewership. I plan to do more debate podcasts and get involved with those types of debates like destiny and his community streamer. I have been in debate calls in his discord talking about stuff. I mean destiny I watch him for years. I have been networking with his community meeting pretty cool people and playing games offline. his community help me a lot to get involved in podcasts and reach out to people to me help me get a platform.

Just goes that only these fucking asshole communities only support assholes when others out there get disgusted and are willing to help out to fucking expose these fuckers and forward messages around to each ear. Destiny community orbits are ruthless. They can't stand losers thinking they are somebody and think they go far to harass someone and make the content of them.

Not going to drop the name of the person to help me get into the podcast. just yet. Let's just say a big wave coming for them all. I AM fucking done be nice. it's my turn to speak up and air shit out. on the same platform not as they did in front of bots and all of them are friends.

anyways. This is what I have been doing. Busy with a lot of stuff and gathering stuff and making doc professional way so can show everyone and it is understandable.

I am going to play close beta games. and some apex or cod idk. But yeah. I have been playing this close beta game that I can't stream or show. and catch up with friends on discord calls. Because I put my time into losers and ungrateful people whom I thought were my friends. Now we are here and I am going expose them all. Good luck with them growing with that behavior. only a supportive community will have their back. but people have gone through the same shit and will feel type of way.

Good night.
