[ms-demeanor]

Hi there! Firstly, wanna say a huge thank you: your blog has inspired me to become more educated about cybersecurity and nutrition, and it’s the reason my brother and I now use Firefox! I came across this article and… it seemed to raise a lot of valid points about Mozilla, but I have no idea if they are true or not since I’m not that knowledgeable about tech, and they go against everything I’ve ever heard about Firefox. Wanted to ask if you wouldn’t mind giving it a quick read, if that’s not too much trouble, and explaining why it’s false/true? If you can, ofc, I realise that is a weird request, and I promise it&: not something I’d usually ask someone. I just thought I’d ask since you’re the only sort of ‘tech’ person I can think of whom I’d trust to know stuff about this. https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/mozilla

So this is a great example of someone reading a ToS uncharitably and extracting the most paranoid bullshit possible.

Aside from the absolute classic "oh noes they are storing info about what devices you use" (if you use firefox logged in mozilla will collect information about what device and OS you use to connect; they do this for a lot of reasons like figuring out what stuff the bulk of their users are using but also because *they can't display on your device without that data*) I want to zoom in on this as an example:

BTW, there is one really funny thing inside the account ToS (MozArchive) that I just have to mention: "We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for any reason, including [...] our provision of the Services to you is no longer commercially viable." The fuck? If you stop bringing them profit, you're gone. They really said that! To me, this is a roundabout admission that your data is being sold. And if it's not worth much (for whatever reason), then you get kicked out.

This person is highlighting the idea that they may cut you off from services if the provision of those services is no longer commercially viable. This author is saying "FIREFOX WILL BOOT YOU WHEN YOU STOP BEING A PROFITABLE LITTLE PAYPIG FOR THEM"

But. Okay. Let's go look at that section of the ToS:

These Terms will continue to apply until ended by either you or Mozilla. You can choose to end them at any time for any reason by deleting your Mozilla account, discontinuing your use of the Services, and if applicable, unsubscribing from our emails. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe: (i) you have violated these Terms, (ii) you create risk or possible legal exposure for us; or (iii) our provision of the Services to you is no longer commercially viable. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you by the email address associated with your Mozilla account or the next time you attempt to access the Services. In all such cases, these Terms shall terminate, including, without limitation, your license to use the Services, except that the following sections shall continue to apply: Indemnification, Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability, Miscellaneous.

Bud. This says "we are not obligated to provide services to you and we may stop providing services that cost us more money to maintain than is viable." This isn't about selling your data, this is about backwards compatibility and sunsetting projects. They don't have to keep providing access to services they're no longer developing nor bend over backwards to make sure that you can keep running a version of the browser that uses the extensions they dropped support for ten years ago.

Ugh. I got to the section where they talk about cucking for manifest3 and jesus this asshole. Manifest 3 is a defacto set of web standards that are changing because google has so much market share as a browser that if they do something everybody else has to follow or they're going to break basic functionality; if they don't make these changes eventually a shitload of websites just will not work on firefox. WAY more than currently experience this problem. Nobody is happy about manifest 3 and the fact that mozilla put out a press release about coming manifest 3 changes (that was not positive!) doesn't mean they're happy about getting dragged along by the nose; this blogger would prefer something like them refusing to adopt those standards, but all that would happen is that they'd lose more users because less shit would work on firefox browsers since people write their sites for chrome first and anything else second if at all.

This writer also gripes a lot about things like "mozilla took away this functionality for the sake of security and SURE you can change that by going into the configurations but it should be an option right in the first panel of the settings what are they really trying to hide???" and they're not trying to hide anything bud they're trying to make a functional browser with intuitive menus for people who aren't power users.

Like they want to be able to do everything they want and they want to be able to see the option in front of them at all times. It's a weird combination of "I know how to configure everything about this browser" and "if a setting is ever hidden behind a readmore it's a dark pattern and is an attack on user privacy." Like they gripe a lot about privacy and then link to a bunch of pages on mozilla where they explain their privacy settings and link to tutorials on how to hide the data that they just explained they collect.

Yeah this is someone I would walk away from in order to avoid getting into a fistfight.

"FOSS licenses are nice but they don't ensure quality" nobody said they did.

"FOSS licensed softwares don't always accept user participation in development" nobody said they did

"I can't change the actual code of firefox to remove things that I don't like don't tell me to fork it it has to be all or nothing mozilla specifically has to do what I want or it's user hostile" I can see why it would be hostile to you as a user fuck you dude this is why forks *exist* (also the "spyware" discussed is basic browser tracking stuff, the realistic necessities of how email work that make it not private by default like the PROTOCOLS are not private you can't get around that, and a lot of the stuff is opt out but improves functionality for day to day users, AND a lot of the tracking is specifically for people with logged-in accounts which are not necessary to use firefox like if you hate pocket don't use it my friend! I also hate pocket it is quite simple to never use it thanks)

"There's no justification for making the source code unavailable" my dude. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/

"If they really cared about an open internet they'd work toward killing capitalism." Friend. I think there's very little more that a web browser could do to undermine the capitalist nature of huge chunks of the web and maintain a broad userbase than what firefox is doing.

I'm reminded of the time that I saw someone losing their shit about a linux distro that included chrome as *a* browser - not the default browser, but *a* browser.

It is an unpleasant fact that a lot of firefox's funding comes from google. That's part of why google is still the default search engine in Firefox and I read some similar articles decrying mozilla's residence firmly in Google's pocket a few years ago. I don't think there's anyone at mozilla who is genuinely pleased that their cheques are signed by google, but there are a ton of people at mozilla who are happy they can keep the lights on because getting paid by google means that they can do as much as they possibly can to create a functional browser that has a significant interest in privacy by default and that can be made *VERY* private by a dedicated user.

Anyway a lot of the stuff on this post is things like "a certificate expired five years ago and broke extensions and that means that mozilla is incompetent and hates users" or "eleven years ago there was a slapfight in the bug reporting forums between a user and a mod and the fact that the user was kicked after repeatedly being told his fix wasn't going to get made is censorship."

The big beefs at the center of this post are:

Mozilla collects data on users

Mozilla limits functionality that should be up to the users

Mozilla takes money from google

and my refutations are:

it does, and it is less than any other mainstream browser and is much much more transparent about what data is collected and how to prevent that data from being collected

A lot of the functionality they're discussing is still there and the stuff that isn't is allowing unsigned extensions which, dude, put a fork in it. They're not going to budge on unsigned extensions but the bar you have to clear to get signed is really really low; like this guy is LITERALLY saying "allow the installation of malicious extensions."

Yep. They do. This point reminds me of a lot of the people on tumblr who hate ads but also hate it when people pay for tumblr. As it turns out making things costs money, and making things used by millions of people costs *A LOT* of money.

I mean FFS one of the things this writer complains about is that Mozilla has a YouTube page.

This isn't just letting perfect be the enemy of good, it's letting perfect be the enemy of *functionally existing as a large organization in the modern world.*

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy my blog, thank you for letting me know!

[scentedpeachlandcreator]

I hope u're doing well! I've been reading ur blog like since 5-7 days ago, and I truly appreciate all the knowledge u share. I had decided not interact until now because, while I understood many concepts at first, some things suddenly became confusing as I kept reading. I would really appreciate it if u could explain everything I need to know from scratch to fully master the Law of Assumption and the 4D/3D concepts (I read one of your Google docs but I really got confused in some—if not most—parts.) English is not my first language, so some expressions make it harder for me to grasp everything completely. That’s why I’d be extremely grateful for a more detailed breakdown. And also, if it's not too much trouble, could you explain to me how to get CONSCIOUS to the void tonight? I know that every night we get to the void but I haven't been conscious, and I've been trying for 1 or 2 months at this point. I would really appreciate it if you could do it! Thank you so much for your time! Please continue with u so wonderful blog !!! ✨♥️

𔘓 Hello lovelyyy!

How are you? Thanks for liking my blog i appreciate it alot.

Anyway here's the breakdown:

What is the Law of assumption:

The Law of assumption is a universal law that states what you assume to be true without proof will become a fact, but that comes with persistence in the assumption.

How to manifest:

★ pick your desire: you can choose whatever desire you want to manifest, it can be multiple, a list of them, and even the unrealistic ones, there's no limit.

★ declare that you have it and accept it: of course that would feel weird at first, but the moment you decide that you already have your desires and that they're yours then it's done, accept that you have it in your imagination. (It would feel natural with times)

★ have faith: have faith in the Law and in your imagination, the Law cannot fail you and never will, your assumption has to happen because it's a Law.

★ persist: no matter what your circumstances are, and what happening in the 3d does not matter, because even if things are going worse in the 3d, you still have your desires, they are yours from the start and nothing will take it away from you, so keep sticking to your assumption and being loyal to it, you know it is real and you believe that you already have it.

4D and 3D?

When it's comes to understanding the concept of the 3d and 4d and how they both work, many individuals tend to think that both of them are seperated, but that entirely wrong, they both work together and they're not seperated.

Example:

Imagine with me the 4d (aka your imagination) as an empty pitch black room, when you imagine something or make an assumption, your desire appear instantly in the empty room, and now you see it, you have it, but let's just say you start spirling, doubting, affirming the opposite, your desire that is in the empty room start fading away and is replaced by the negative ones where you say "i don't have it" and that What the 3d gonna reflect, but if you persist in your assumption no matter what the 3d shows you, your gonna keep that assumption alive in your 4d, in the empty room, then the 3d will reflect your 4d and you'll see it physically.

That Basically how the 3d and 4d works, the 3d is just a relfector, a mirror (3d) reflecting your reflection (4d).

To understand more about the 4d and 3d read this.

What does it mean creation is finished?

Creation is finished implies that whatever you wanted already exist in your consciousness, there's million and infinite of realities where you're already the Version of yourself that is living their dream life or having that specific desire.

If you want to understand more: read this.

What does it mean to live in the state of the wish fulfilled?

I know you heard this term already but i'm about to make it simple for you: the state of the wish fulfilled is a feeling you have, the knowing feeling that your desires are yours and there's no point in looking for it in the 3d, because you just decided that it's already yours, you won't feel like "waiting" for your desires, "looking for your desires", "Desperate for your desires to show up", or "being impatient for your desires", you know you have it and that it's done, there's nothing for you to do but keep living in that state until it's show up in the 3d.

Read this and this.

How to use the Law of assumption to induce the void state?

Now before i say anything, i recommend you to read this and this to understand more about your pure consciousness aka the void state.

★Pick an affirmation for example:

"i Always induce my pure consciousness easily and effortlessly"

"everytime i fall asleep i Always end up in my pure consciousness"

"i Always wake up in my pure consciousness whenever i fall asleep"

★Believe in yourself and in your power: that is really essential, it's comes with the powerful and strong believe that you could do it and that you're already a master at inducing your pure consciousness.

★Persist in your assumption: no matter what happens in the 3d, no matter how many times you wake up in your old shitty reality and still find yourself there, keep persisting that you did induce your pure consciousness last night and that you're a master at it, do not give up, i'm telling you, that your assumption are more powerful than what the 3d throw at you, the 3d is just reflecting you old beliefs and assumption, so stick to your assumption and keep being loyal to it.

Ta-da! Easy right? Now i don't want you to stay in this shitty Reality and lock tf in!

If you had to pinpoint the main issue of MLB, the root of all evil if you may (aside from Astruc), what would it be?

If we're going super high level, it would be narrative consistency (I believe this is a synonym for "narrative coherence" or, at least, I've always used them pretty interchangeably and googling one finds you stuff on the other). I wanted to get an official definition of this term and wikipedia gave me this from a larger article on the theory of narrative paradigm:

Narrative coherence is the degree to which a story makes sense. Coherent stories are internally consistent, with sufficient detail, strong characters, and free of significant surprises. The ability to assess coherence is learned and improves with experience. Individuals assess a story's adherence by comparing it with similar stories. The ultimate test of narrative sense is whether the characters act reliably. If figures show continuity throughout their thoughts, motives, and actions, acceptance increases. However, characters behaving uncharacteristically destroy acceptance.

I also found a pretty good overview of the topic on the blog of a random editor. You can follow that link to read the whole thing, but I wanted to highlight this section on characters as I thought it was particularly relevant to the stuff I talk about on this blog:

Your characters will have their own personalities and behaviours that the reader will become familiar with as the story develops, so if you deviate from these patterns, the reader will notice. That’s why it’s important to maintain character consistency – that they would act in a way that is right and in keeping with their personality, rather than making them act out of character to make elements of the story fit.

As you can hopefully see from the above sources, the stuff I've talk about on here, and just generally thinking about the show, most of the issues with Miraculous have to do with the show being narratively incoherent. Characters do whatever the writers want them to do. Plot lines get dropped and picked back up then dropped (Lila) with no rhyme or reason. Big, meaningful setups lead to nothing (Gabriel learning all the temp heroes identities). Twists come out of nowhere (Kagami being a senti). They all indicate that something is majorly wrong here.

I am not involved in the production of this show, so I cannot tell you where all of these issues come from. It may be that the writing staff doesn't know what they're doing or it could be that unknown forces like marketing are driving the writers to do things that they'd rather not or it could be a mix of the two. For example, I'm pretty sure the magical charms we get in season four were only added to sell stuff like this and this, which is why I try to approach this show without pointing fingers at anyone too specific unless there's some hard evidence to back up what I'm saying. All I know is that this show has a massive writing problem and I'll end with a little advice on how I avoid this issue. It may or may not work for you. It all depends on your writing style.

When you sit down to write a story, it's very normal to not have a clear path for how to get from story point A to story point B. You don't need to find that path before you start writing. You just need to keep in mind that B is your goal and start figuring out how to logically get there.

I often describe this process as taking a journey with a known destination, but no planned route. However, just like with a road trip, the further you go, the more limited your options become because of the choices you made. If you skipped stopping at an interesting city or landmark, you can't change that fact and we're not turning the car around just so you can get a picture next to the big ball of string. You had your chance and you missed it. Accept that and move on.

Similarly, as you write your story, you have to own the choices you've already made on your journey. If you choose to let a character in on a massive secret (Alya learning Ladybug's identity), then you have to fully own how that choice would impact all elements of the story (Alya's opinion of Lila) not just the short sighted elements you wanted it to impact (note how Lila's not a thing in season four? Almost like they didn't plan out how to handle her and Alya at the same time?) Own the route you committed to and find a way to tell the next part of the story in a way that feels like it's on the same route and you'll be fine.

Does that mean occasionally having to give up on cool ideas that you really liked? Yep, but that's the nature of story telling. It's part of the reason why people are told to "kill their darlings." That's just a thing you have to learn to do if you want to be a good writer.

captive prince book 1 highlights & annotations

chapter 5

indented text is from the book. some quotes have commentary, some do not. some comments are serious, and some are definitely not. most of them will only make sense to people who have read the series. and, like, there are spoilers. so please read the books first if you're interested!

also: part of the reason i'm doing such a close reading is to study cs pacat's style, especially in terms of how she does romance and erotica. there are "craft notes" that might seem weird, like i'm being redundant or restating something rather than analyzing, but those are more things that i want to remember/take away from the writing!

i'm going to tag these longer posts with "sam reads capri" in case anyone wants to read them all at once.

this is a google doc i wrote with overall content warnings for the captive prince series. it's not perfect, but i do think it's important to include.

Laurent moved off a few steps. Damen saw him lift a hand to the back of his own neck, as if to release tension. Saw him do nothing for a moment but stand and be quiet and breathe the cool air scented with night flowers. It occurred to Damen for the first time that Laurent might have his own reasons for wanting to escape the attention of the court.

i appreciate this hint of their future dynamic :)

A silence opened up around Laurent’s words. In it, their meaning changed. Herode began, ‘I—’ Then he looked at Damen, and his expression grew alarmed. ‘Is this safe? He’s broken his leash. Guard!’

context: laurent needs herode to think that damen deserved the flogging, so he took him somewhere private and broke his bindings, framing damen as disobedient. nice moment ruined >:(

‘If you’re concerned that my memory for wrongs against me is longer than ten months,’ said Laurent, ‘there’s no need for anxiety. I am sure you can persuade me you were genuinely mistaken.’

translation: “make it up to me, disloyal coward.” the way laurent deals with this person, who lacks loyalty and integrity, foreshadows how much he will struggle to hate damen, who has more loyalty and integrity than any sane person probably should

‘How thoughtful of you, Councillor,’ said Laurent. ‘He turned to Damen and said in a melting voice, ‘Your back must hurt terribly.’ ‘It’s fine,’ said Damen. ‘Kneel on the ground, then,’ Laurent said.

absolutely no strategy here, laurent just sucks. "oh you're comfortable for once? let's see what i can do about that." also the fact that laurent is trying to appear likable to herode but still cannot resist being a bitch to damen is sooo funny

His best feature was a pair of amazing blue eyes, unmatched by any Damen had ever seen, except for the ones he had recently been staring into.

damen has a talent for thirsting over laurent in the most backhanded manner possible

His skin was fair and his curling light brown hair was burnished with gold. He was exactly the type that Damen could have drawn down onto the sheets and spent a very pleasant couple of hours enjoying.

damen likes blondes mention #4. erasmus barely scrapes by, but the word “gold” tells us everything we need to know

‘Well?’ Laurent said. ‘Can you couple adequately, or do you just kill things?’

god he sucks. also, “adequate.”

Damen thought that given the choice between the lash and a conversation with Laurent, he might actually choose the lash.

‘He’s not very talkative,’ remarked Vannes. ‘It comes and goes,’ said Laurent.

laurent continues to shoulder the burden of being the funniest bitch in this entire court

Damen was sickened by the idea of some nobleman’s boy offering himself up to be hurt on the assumption that it would play to Laurent’s tastes. Then he thought of all he knew of Laurent, and only felt sicker, because of course the boy’s assumptions were probably correct.

context: i don’t think laurent is an equal-opportunity sadist, or even a sadist at all. he just really hates damen specifically, and mirrors the viciousness of his culture to survive

If there was anything explicit on view, it must be the absence of all desire to be where he was.

the garden scene. okay. 

first, context: a possible explanation for laurent volunteering damen could be a desire to see him experience a similar situation to his own abuse from his uncle, since damen is the reason laurent lost his protector. however, that doesn’t quite sound right to me, because wouldn’t seeing this whole tableau just re-traumatize laurent? then again, laurent’s life in the veretian court is pretty much endless re-traumatization, all day every day. so i suppose in his mind, he might as well get something out of his own shitty circumstances, and that something in this case is revenge. misery loves company, after all. 

also, sex to laurent is a matter of control and power, rather than love or pleasure. so to him, both this and the fighting ring might feel the same as any other kind of violence. he doesn’t care about the additional violation that sexual assault carries towards his enemies—and at the end of the day, laurent knows that he himself has probably been through worse. 

the exception to this is nicaise, or anyone else who laurent deems innocent and disempowered. those people, he will try to protect to the very best of his ability. but at this point in the series, laurent sees damen not only as a shitty person, but also a shitty person with power. he knows that damen is not a slave, but a prince. a prince who keeps slaves of his own. so in laurent-brain, i can see how this could be twisted into something justifiable. or just not worth justifying at all.

it still isn’t right, though. they could have done this and been just as horny about it with, like, dubious consent rather than none. i think i would feel more comfortable finding elements of this scene hot if that were the case, but i respect and appreciate that the point of this book is not simply to Be Hot. and to be fair—instant gratification, moral simplicity, and straightforward execution are not very compelling qualities for an erotic scene to possess. i’m just glad that the rest of the sex-adjacent scenes in this series between damen and laurent are explicitly consensual, because this scene would be harder to accept within the series’s ethical framework and the development of their love story if it happened multiple times.

i want to analyze the craft here, but i feel uncomfortable dissecting what i know to be a non-consensual scene in order to determine what makes it hot. but i also know, undeniably, that the events of this scene are hot, and that hotness was almost certainly written on purpose. 

for me, the hotness does not come from the lack of consent itself, but rather the action and dialogue happening on the page. i don’t think the lack of consent is necessarily meant to be hot here—it’s the absolute insanity of laurent’s approach to oral sex, and the power dynamic it creates, that makes the scene memorable. and those elements could easily be reproduced in a consensual scene and have the same effect. so i want to study those elements specifically, to see how they work as erotic writing, removed from the parts that don’t. 

tl;dr: the garden scene is unequivocally non-consensual. however, it is written in a way that eroticizes the circumstances. i can still study the writing where it is effective without finding the circumstances of the scene morally justifiable or hot, in fiction or real life. 

anyway. i'm trying to study the craft of scenes like this, so i'm going full analysis on this one. garden scene, summarized:  

setup: laurent is rumored to be frigid and does not partake in the sexual activities of veretian nobility. yet he goes along with this tableau, allowing damen to be used as a participant. i do not think that this is for laurent’s own sexual gratification, because i don’t think laurent is in touch with his own sexuality in general. sex means something different to laurent than it does to damen, and the other characters in the scene, and (i’d hope) to the reader as well.

beginning: ancel isn’t damen’s type. damen has no strong feelings about ancel as a person. he is not attracted to ancel’s frivolity or weak will. being serviced by ancel is not doing anything for damen. he feels smug about this. it gives him power over laurent, who has permitted this tableau in order to emphasize the power he has over damen.

then: laurent—who is damen’s type, his worst enemy, and the reason he’s in this situation in the first place—starts coaching ancel on how to give head. laurent is completely methodical and detached with his instructions, and is clearly focusing on psychologically tormenting damen, rather than getting off on the display. in other words, he is neither frivolous nor weak-willed. he’s exactly the opposite. 

meanwhile: damen, our pov character, is no longer immune to whatever the fuck is going on in this scene. he is into this and can’t hide it. he has lost the power he briefly had over laurent, and now possesses even less power than he started with. not only is he owned by laurent in the technical sense, but he is being owned by laurent in the horny sense too. 

and i believe that the intention is for the reader to understand how he's feeling—not to blame him for his interest, because this situation is clearly compelling, to damen and possibly the person reading. laurent’s ability to essentially mindfuck damen across the room, fully clothed, is honestly insane. cs pacat herself says that about laurent in a commentary video—he’s a mindfucker. it’s intentional and it’s the focal point of the scene. much later on in the series, i think damen even admits that he was paying attention to laurent the whole time. it’s hot. it just is. 

i’ll point out more specific things in the following passages, but that’s the gist of it. i'm cringing so hard posting this publicly, but if heterosexual women on booktok can post their whole-ass face and gps location while fangirling over colleen hoover sex scenes, i think i can share my messy gay mindfucking analysis on a website that hasn't been a part of the public consciousness since like 2017

Laurent was watching Damen’s face with the same cerebral attention that he might apply to a strategic problem. ‘He likes that. Do it harder,’ said Laurent.

craft note: laurent openly observes damen’s responses, notices exactly what works, tells ancel to do that specifically because “he likes it,” and that turns damen on even more

personal note: oh my god

Damen could feel his thighs tighten, then, minutely, spread, his breath quickening in his chest... He turned towards Laurent. It was a mistake to look at him. Even in the shadows of evening, Damen could see the relaxed arrangement of Laurent’s body, the marmoreal perfection of his features, and the detached unconcern with which he gazed at Damen, not bothering to so much as glance down at Ancel’s moving head.

craft note: damen loses his resolve, looks to laurent for mercy, and is just even more mindfucked by the fact that laurent is completely unaffected, not even interested at all

If you believed the Prince’s Guard, Laurent was the impregnable citadel, and took no lovers at all. Right now Laurent gave the impression of a mind somewhat engaged, and a body wholly aloof, untouched by ardour. The ribald fancy of the Prince’s Guard held a kernel of plausibility. On the other hand, the aloof, untouched Laurent was at this moment delivering a precise treatise on cocksucking.

god, this is SO fucking good. damen is basically admitting that he can’t believe laurent is entirely sexless, because he is managing to fuck him without even having sex at all.

craft note: that is the perfect moment to insert a crass word, after paragraphs of more clinical descriptions. i love that the only time we hear “cocksucking” in this scene is in reference to laurent not actually sucking cock, while it is (intentionally, i assume) not used in reference to the actual cocksucking that’s happening on the page. 

also, "precise treatise" cracks me up, as someone currently writing what could be considered a precise treatise on this scene.

The image of Ancel... was joined in his fragmenting thoughts by the sudden harsh desire to get his hands on Laurent’s body and exact revenge—both for his actions and for his airy absence.

damen’s desire to get laurent’s attention because he wants to fight him, but also because he wants laurent to see him come… diabolical writing. craft. whatever. this is an objective and academic analysis.

Damen was... pushed back down onto his knees. Laurent was seated opposite, legs crossed. Damen’s eyes fixed on him, and looked nowhere else; his breathing was still noticeable, and his pulse rapid, but anger produced all the same effects.

who’s ancel?

additional thoughts on erotic elements in the garden scene: i think what i like here, is that… yeah, it’s horny. it’s indulgent, easily the most blatant instance of kink we’ve seen so far. but it’s not really what i think frequent readers of this kink genre would expect, or even want to read—it is a subversion, with laurent completely disrupting the basic scenario that everyone else (but damen) in the scene wants to mindlessly enjoy. 

but that subversion, to me, just makes it hotter. there’s physical stuff happening, sure, but the real eroticism comes from the words, emotions, and power exchange between laurent and damen. the scene doesn’t give the reader the simplicity of “someone topped, someone bottomed, here are several pages of mechanical description.” the actual sex act is described almost clinically, just how laurent dictates. and it’s definitely not as simple as who’s topping and who’s bottoming—whatever the fuck happens here is way weirder and messier than that, and so much more compelling. 

basically, i think that this scene fails to be hot in all the ways a reader of this kink genre would expect it to be hot. the real hotness comes from the bizarre subversion we get instead, that we just have to kind of accept without any closure or explanation. it’s either an unsexy sex scene, or a sexy not-sex scene. maybe it’s both. either way, it’s insane.

how can i replicate this? 

set up a thing that follows expectations. don’t actually do the thing. do something significantly more insane than the expected thing. do not elaborate on the insane thing, leaving more questions than answers, and move on as if it wasn’t insane at all. this is a good method for not-sex scenes, too.

Laurent, for his part, was relaxed, one arm spread out over the back of the bench.

laurent lean #4

‘I’ll offer for you, if you like. When the time comes. I wouldn’t want you in my bed, but you’d have all the same privileges. You might prefer that. I’d offer.’

context: this is the best possible way laurent can protect nicaise within the confines of their culture. and “you might prefer that”—laurent wants nicaise to be able to foster his intelligence and talents (his "privileges") as a growing person, without having to be a sexual object.

‘He gives them all up,’ said Laurent, ‘even if you’re more enterprising than the others have been.’ ‘He likes me better than the others.’ A scornful laugh. ‘You’re jealous.’ And then it was Nicaise’s turn to react to something he saw in Laurent’s face, and he said, with a horror Damen didn’t understand, ‘You’re going to tell him you want me.’ ‘Oh,’ said Laurent. ‘No. Nicaise . . . no. That would wreck you. I wouldn’t do that.’ Then his voice became almost tired. ‘Maybe it’s better if you think that I would. You have quite a good mind for strategy, to have thought of that. Maybe you will hold him longer than the others.’ For a moment it seemed as if Laurent would say something else, but in the end he just stood up from the bench, and held his hand out to the boy. ‘Come on. Let’s go. You can watch me get told off by my uncle.’

context: nicaise knows that anything laurent wants, his uncle will not let him have. believing that laurent hates him and would offer for him out of spite, nicaise takes the offer is a threat. laurent, who isn’t threatening him at all, realizes that nicaise is right. laurent’s attempts at protection would only get nicaise hurt. the best he can do is banter with the kid and look after him from a distance. this house is a fucking nightmare.

(Ok i typed more than i meant to feel free to not read if you’d so prefer🩵)

while what you say about the proshipping label is something i somewhat agree with (as in realizing how many people identify the term with certain meaning) i do wish to point out that calling it ‘old fandom usage’ isn’t really accurate…

obviously it’s no one else’s buisness how you choose to define it and this isn’t a hate ask or anything🥰 /genuine

i’m also against comship, (or proship whichever you wish to call) although comshipping would be the correct term for dark ships

it’s also just a little weird to see it said that “no one uses that” when a lot of people do. truly a lot. they simply do not shout it as loudly from what i observe, that section of people are just quieter and keep to themselves more, because of the amount of new fandom people who bulldoze them from what i understand. those people are loudest, and this switch in definitions didn’t happen until the past few years…these people who have used that label for years but suddenly are expected to not because of misinfo that was spread….its a very interesting( and probably unfortunate )phenomenon in fandom spaces!

again you can ignore this i’m sorry if this comes off as annoying, i just am an old lady in fandom spaces and i see a lot of misinfo around fandom talk..

by its definition proshipping means “people can do what they want and it’s my responsibility to block or move on” , it’s moreso a freedom of speech thing, comshipping is when you ship problematic things (although by definition the problematic things are probably defined by the user.)

i don’t like dark ship one bit, but i understand that theres serious repercussions when it comes to censorship,and that i don’t know peoples life stories or who they are as people. it’s media and no one forces me to consume any type of media, and i’m more than happy to block people if i don’t like or agree with it. most of those people also are VERY adamant about blocking them if you don’t like it,from my experience!

anyways again i’m so sorry if this is just an annoying word dump for you, i just thought i should share some perspective since i feel like this is a serious fandom thing, a lot of people get harassed for misunderstanding. i personally don’t like perpetuating labels and definitions that are based on misinformation, but again no one’s allowed to tell you what you have to do and you can just move on and ignore this if you so please🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵/genuine

understanding that a lot of new fandom talk is built on misinfo and being aware of that is a solid take, however i don’t think redefining and people choosing to interpret a textbook definition, a correct one, should be blamed on the person using the correct terminology

again your opinion is yours and personally i respect it ����😄 absolutely no hate or pressure these sort of discussions simply interest me

also it makes so much sense to use proshippers as a dni buzzword because of how many people are misinformed, i just hate to see it be continued when as a fandom space we all could choose to return to correct definitions and use those

again. using it to avoid the masses is understandable, it’s just unfortunate

i love your art and stories and i’m continually excited to see what you come up with next!!! i hope you have a great day!!! (or night)🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 and no pressure to answer this i understand that it’s an annoying ask to answer😶

Will say this once, I am very aware of what PRO-SHIPPING used to represent and what the older people in fandoms still use it for. However, that does not change the fact that rhe definition has changed. It just has. Any google search will tell you that. And though I can understand how that can be frustrating for you, I will still be saying dni proshippers and still seeing it as a problematic term due to the fact that’s how it’s primarily used. Its old definition is an old fandom term now. The people who still use it are as you said, from the older fandom times. Meaning that yes, it’s old definition is now inaccurate and also no longer represents what it means and trying to win it back or convince people otherwise won’t work, especially since I am not the one who misconstrued this old definition. I am not one of the new gen proshippers who changed this for you. Your issues would be with them, not me, a random artist who is keeping up with the times and avoiding problematic people from coming onto her page. I am trying to protect my page with the new gen knowledge. Reminiscing on the past in my ask box does nothing as I have no case in the change.

It has changed. It’s frustrating, but there’s nothing to be done. You acknowledge this yourself, and yet still claim it’s misinformation when it’s not. It’s an old term that turned into a new definition. That happens in history multiple times. It doesn’t mean it’s misinformation or wrong. It means that time has changed it and a new generation of people have taken the word, and that happens with the dialect of our world every century. The older proshipping definition, therefore, is old fandom history. And the people who still use it are going by those older rules which STILL equals to old fandom definition. The only people using it go by outdated fandom rules, expectations, and are possibly older. That’s….literally a combo of what makes an outdated and older used definition. And using these definitions knowing full well what the change has done to the word with the defense of “in old fandom times it was different” also makes me have little pity for you as if you’re fully aware and still chose to sport the label, that’s on you. Not saying you do this, just using an example.

Yes we have different opinions. It just makes no sense that you brought this to my askbox when I didn’t ruin the word for you. It’s the new generation proshippers. If you have a problem with it, go speak to them and their community who uses these terminology. I cant do anything?? And if you just wanted a discussion, I’m the last person to have a discussion with as I keep far away from the new community and also can’t speak for them?? This reads more like ur upset bc you use the label and therefore cant interact than an actual discussion, bc if you had a real problem with the change, you would NOT be in MY askbox. And yet you claim ur against proshipping so…it makes no sense

At the end of the day, this fandom deep dive stuff makes my head spin. Why are we defending incest lovers. Why are we trying to find an exact term for these weirdos. It doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things what an old fandom definition means because this is so chronically online bull. Weird ships are weird fucking ships. And those weirdos who make them use proshipping as a label. Therefore, I put them on a dni and block. It’s literally that simple and fandom terminology discourse is so insane to me I’m sorry LMAO. Like I have work in three hours dude I can’t with this 😭💀

A STORY OF HOW I BECAME A SUCCESSFUL AFFILIATE MARKETTER

(SOMETHING YOU MUST LEARN)

Click here

Hello there! Let me take a moment to share my journey with you—how I went from being a complete beginner to where I am today as a successful affiliate marketer.

When I first stumbled upon affiliate marketing, I was skeptical. The idea of earning money online, from the comfort of my home, sounded too good to be true. But I was tired of my 9-to-5 grind and wanted something different—something that could give me the freedom and financial independence I was dreaming of. So, I decided to dive in, despite not knowing much about the industry.

Click here

In the beginning, it was tough. I remember spending hours on Google, learning everything I could about affiliate marketing. I read articles, watched videos, and joined forums. I tried my hand at a few affiliate programs but didn’t see the results I hoped for at first. It felt like I was doing everything right, but nothing was clicking.

Then came the turning point. I realized I wasn’t focusing enough on the right strategies. So, I doubled down on learning and took my training seriously. I started to focus on building my niche, creating valuable content, and understanding the psychology of my target audience. Slowly but surely, my efforts began to pay off. My commissions started coming in, and I could see the potential affiliate marketing had to offer.

Click here

Now, as someone who's been in this game for several years, let me share some tips to help you avoid the mistakes I made and shorten your learning curve.

Choose the Right Niche One of the most important lessons I learned is that picking the right niche is crucial. It’s not just about what you’re passionate about, but also about finding a market with demand, but not too saturated. It’s better to focus on a specific, smaller niche that you can dominate, rather than trying to compete in a broad and competitive market.

Understand Your Audience As an affiliate marketer, you're in the business of solving problems. The more you understand your audience—their pain points, desires, and struggles—the better you'll be at recommending products they need. Research your audience through surveys, reading reviews, and interacting with them to understand what they truly want.

Quality Content Over Quantity It’s not just about putting out a ton of content. The key is to create high-quality, value-packed content. Whether it’s blog posts, videos, or social media content, your goal should be to educate and provide value. When you do this, trust and authority follow.

Leverage Multiple Traffic Sources While SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is great for organic traffic, I learned early on that relying solely on Google isn’t wise. I diversified my traffic sources—social media, paid ads, email marketing, and even YouTube. More traffic means more potential conversions.

Use the Right Tools Now, tools are a game changer. When I started, I didn’t realize how important they were. There are essential tools that can streamline your affiliate marketing efforts, including:

Email Marketing Tools: Platforms like ConvertKit or MailChimp help you build an email list and automate your email marketing campaigns.

Landing Page Builders: Tools like Leadpages or ClickFunnels let you create high-converting landing pages without needing to code.

SEO Tools: Ahrefs and SEMrush are great for keyword research and competitor analysis.

Analytics: Google Analytics is crucial to understanding your audience and optimizing your content for better results.

Consistency Is Key Success doesn’t happen overnight. In fact, it can take months or even years before you start seeing significant results. The key is consistency—continue learning, experimenting, and improving every single day. Keep a long-term perspective, and you’ll get there.

Learn From Others One of the best things I did was to surround myself with successful affiliate marketers. I joined online communities, attended webinars, and learned from others who were already where I wanted to be. Collaboration and learning from others can dramatically accelerate your growth.

So, if you’re just starting your affiliate marketing journey, don’t get discouraged. It’s going to take time, effort, and dedication, but the rewards are worth it. Focus on continuous learning, invest in the right tools, and stay committed to your goals.

I’m living proof that anyone can go from beginner to master with the right mindset and strategies. Take action today, and soon, you’ll be sharing your own success story!

Good luck, and remember, consistency and perseverance will get you there!

Im reluctant to ask this since I know your standing on ce’s fs…

I’m testing out a theory~ do you have any confirmation symbols or anything that stands out to you a lot in regards to ce’s fs? We know that the unicorn is pretty symbolic, as well as the phoenix… is there anything else tho? I feel like there is and it can help understand some things

(You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to <3 really hope you’re well protected, healthy, and at ease <3)

Hello anon

Yes I do have some..... reservations about discussing her

It's funny you mention "the Unicorn" as a symbol as it was one that I started myself by nicknaming her that as the legend of the FS had become such a mythical symbol that it makes you wonder if they were even real. For clarity, the use of the word Unicorn is technically lifted from the IT environment, you are better off googling the term than having me explain it but the implication is that they are rare and sometimes hard to find much like the original creature

At some point I worried that the FS legend would be used against the fandom in order to bait them into continuing discussion and the comparisons made between her legend and 🐟 would only help to serve painting him in an even worse light so I asked if people would stop talking about her so the information could not be used as part of the PR narrative

Not to mention spiritually the negative energy people could end up sending her way out of spite

Yes, I do know of a few other symbols but I won't mention them for the obvious reasons. What we talk about here often gets used by the people watching and gets twisted against us and Christopher

I know that his fans want to still believe that he is the man he portrayed himself to be and that they simply want him to be happy, however the concept of this woman being out there somewhere being all the things that would make him happy and secure in himself is as much a fantasy as his public image

We often inadvertently treat the FS legend as something that is genuine destiny, I'm grateful most readings respect the energy as the potential it truly is and not firmly set in stone

I will however disclose my own personal bias that I do not personally believe in soulmates nor destiny, only potential, to do otherwise would negate the concept of free will and the ability to choose, as a woman I tend to be big on having the ability to make choices

I would however like people to perhaps try placing themselves in the shoes of his FS for a moment

Imagine genuinely falling for the man and having all of this pressure to live up to the idealistic image that his fans have built up over the years, and then measuring yourself against it. It also creates a lot of pressure on Christopher as well, the expectations are high of her personal character, and often the portrayals of what she is and does can depend entirely on what the audience reading has determined is THEIR version of successful

Some would find a powerful career woman acceptable, some would like them to be physically strong, some would prefer intelligent, some would prefer "normal".........there are some who wouldn't care if she made and sold jam at a market as long as he was genuinely happy

This build up would be enough to scare any girl off and keep him unhappy, so weirdly we kind of shoot ourselves in the foot with some of our well wishes

I honestly think we need to wait for him to introduce her to the rest of us in his own time

Finding the Right Keywords for Maximum Visibility

An effective SEO strategy starts with understanding what people are searching for and why.

To succeed, you need to find the right keywords—phrases your audience is actually using on search engines. This means doing proper keyword research to discover high-performing terms and topics. Once you know what to target, you can create content that matches user intent and ranks well in Google and other search engines.

It’s also important to know how search engines judge your content. They look for signs of expertise, authority, and trust (E-E-A-T). That’s why choosing the right keywords, using trusted SEO tools, and understanding how search engines read your content is essential for long-term success.

Why Keywords Still Matter in SEO

Keywords play a key role in improving your website’s SEO. They help search engines understand what your content is about and match it with what users are searching for.

Long-tail keywords—which are longer, more specific phrases—are especially useful. These keywords often face less competition and bring more targeted traffic to your website.

To get the best results, it's important to place these keywords smartly. Use them in URLs, image alt text, and throughout your content—but avoid overusing them, as keyword stuffing can hurt your rankings.

Backlinks and internal linking are also important parts of SEO. When adding internal links, always use clear and relevant anchor text. This not only helps users navigate your site easily but also helps search engines understand which pages are most important.

How to Align Your Content with User Search Intent

To create content that ranks well and truly meets user needs, it’s important to understand how Google works—especially how it uses algorithms, crawling, indexing, and user intent. Knowing what users are trying to achieve when they search on Google helps you craft content that matches their expectations and goals.

Pay close attention to how people phrase their searches—the words they use, the order, and the context. This helps search engines understand what the user really wants, so your content can align with that intent more effectively.

Tools like Google Search Console are very helpful for this. They show you the actual search terms people use to find your site. Also, features like "People Also Ask" and "Related Searches" in the search results can give valuable clues about user intent. Studying how questions are grouped or how users move from one query to another can help you build better, more relevant content.

Keyword Research Tools

To discover high-performing keywords and understand your competition, you can use tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Google Keyword Planner. These tools help you find keywords that people are searching for and show how competitive those keywords are.

For example, SEMrush not only helps improve your site’s rankings but also shows which keywords are bringing in traffic for your competitors.

You can also do a keyword gap analysis using these tools. This means finding keywords that your competitors rank for—but you don’t. It’s a great way to uncover new keyword opportunities and grow your organic traffic more effectively.

Improving Content Performance with On-Page SEO

Optimizing on-page elements is a key part of improving your website’s visibility in search results and enhancing the user experience. By focusing on areas like page titles, meta descriptions, header tags, images, and featured snippets, you help both users and search engines easily understand your content. These elements also contribute to your site’s Core Web Vitals, which are important for overall performance.

A well-optimized landing page doesn’t just rank higher—it also attracts more visitors and keeps them engaged. This leads to better traffic, lower bounce rates, and higher satisfaction for your users.

Boosting CTR with Optimized Titles & Meta Descriptions

Title tags are essential HTML elements that define the name of a webpage. They appear in the browser tab and are shown as the clickable headline in Google’s search results (SERPs).

A strong title tag should include your primary keyword or keyword phrase, accurately describe the page content, and be unique and engaging. A well-crafted title not only helps improve your search engine rankings but also increases your click-through rate (CTR) by attracting more user attention.

Meta descriptions are short summaries that appear below the title tag in search results. They briefly describe what the page is about and help users decide whether to click.

While meta descriptions aren’t a direct ranking factor, they play a big role in encouraging clicks. A clear, compelling description can lead to better traffic and improved performance in SERPs.

To optimize your meta descriptions:

● Keep them under 150 characters

● Include your main keyword

● Focus on clarity and value to the reader

Header Tags

Header tags are HTML elements like <h1> to <h6> that help organize the content of a webpage. They make it easier for both search engines and users to understand the structure of your content.

Use <h1> for your main page title (only once), and then use <h2>, <h3>, etc., for subheadings in a proper order. This helps give your content a clear flow and hierarchy.

Adding keywords in header tags can improve your on-page SEO. But make sure the headers are short, relevant, and not stuffed with keywords.

Proper use of header tags helps Google understand what each section of your page is about. This can improve your rankings, make your content more visible in search results, and increase clicks to your website.

Optimizing Images for Better SEO and Speed

Optimizing images is an important part of improving your website’s speed, user experience, and search engine rankings.

To do this, you should compress images so they load faster, use descriptive file names, and include targeted keywords in the image alt text. This helps your images appear in Google Images and also improves your chances of ranking higher in search results.

Alt text is especially important. It tells search engines what the image is about and can increase your visibility in image search. When used correctly, image optimization can also boost your overall SEO performance and deliver a better return on your search marketing efforts.

Writing AI Content That Connects Like a Human

As AI tools like ChatGPT are widely used for content creation, keeping the content sounding natural and human has become a real challenge. That’s where AI humanizer tools are useful. These tools help rewrite or polish AI-generated text so it sounds more natural and less robotic.

When combined with tools for checking grammar and originality, AI humanizers can greatly improve the readability and trust of your content. This not only helps your SEO content connect better with readers but also keeps it relevant for search engines.

Improving Website Experience for Users

A great user experience (UX) is essential for improving your rankings on Google and other search engines. It also plays a big role in keeping visitors happy. When your website is fast, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate, users are more likely to stay longer and interact with your content.

Good UX doesn't just help with SEO—it can also lead to higher engagement, more page views, and better conversion rates. Simply put, when your website works well for users, it also works better for search engines.

Site Speed

Improving your site’s speed—especially page loading time—is crucial for both better user experience and higher rankings in search results. You can boost page speed by compressing images, using browser caching, and reducing the number of HTTP requests your site makes.

A faster website not only helps you rank higher on Google but also keeps visitors engaged. When pages load quickly, users are more likely to stay, explore, and convert—leading to better overall performance for your site.

Mobile Usability and Smooth Site Navigation

With more people browsing on mobile devices, it’s essential that your website is mobile-friendly. Use responsive design, improve loading speed, and focus on user experience across all screen sizes to meet the needs of mobile users.

A mobile-optimized site not only improves search engine rankings but also attracts more organic traffic and leads to better user satisfaction and conversions.

In addition, clear and simple navigation helps users find what they need quickly. A well-structured site with easy-to-use menus improves both user experience and SEO performance.

When your website is easy to browse and well-organized, visitors stay longer, explore more pages, and are more likely to take action—boosting engagement and overall satisfaction.

Smart Strategies for Building Quality Backlinks

High-quality backlinks play a key role in improving your website’s domain authority and search engine rankings. You can earn strong backlinks through strategies like guest blogging, the skyscraper technique, and fixing or replacing broken links on other sites.

A well-written blog post combined with a strong backlink profile can help your content rank higher on Google, drive more organic traffic, and improve the overall quality and visibility of your website.

Guest Blog Post

Guest blogging is a smart way to earn quality backlinks and increase your online visibility. By writing useful, high-quality content for trusted websites in your industry, you can build your authority and attract new visitors to your own site.

To succeed with guest blogging, focus on three key steps:

Find relevant and reputable websites that accept guest posts.

Create valuable, well-written content that matches their audience.

Optimize your post for SEO and promote it through your social media channels to reach a wider audience.

Broken Link Building

Broken link building is a smart SEO technique where you find broken (non-working) links on other websites and suggest your own content as a replacement. This helps the website fix their broken links while you earn a valuable backlink.

The process involves searching for broken external or internal links on websites in your niche and then contacting the site owners with a relevant and helpful link from your own content.

This strategy is a powerful way to increase your website’s visibility, gain quality backlinks, and improve your domain authority.

If you're unsure which link-building method is best for your site, consider getting help from SEO specialists—whether that’s a freelancer, agency, or backlink service. They can guide you in choosing the most effective strategies for stronger results.

How to Power Your SEO with Smart Content Marketing

Content marketing involves creating and sharing useful, relevant content to attract and connect with your target audience. When you publish high-quality blog posts, in-depth cornerstone content, and shareable pieces, you can drive more traffic to your website and improve your search engine rankings.

A strong content marketing strategy can help boost brand awareness, increase user engagement, and lead to more conversions.

Blogging

Consistently publishing useful and engaging content is key to targeting the right keywords and offering real value to your audience. For example, if you're writing an educational blog around the keyword "write my dissertation," high-quality content will play a major role in helping you reach and engage your target readers.

To succeed, make sure your blog post is optimized for SEO and actively shared on social media. This helps attract more organic traffic and boosts your visibility in search engine results (SERPs).

Effective blogging involves three main steps: doing research, creating helpful content, and optimizing it for search engines. When done well, it can build trust, grow your audience, and support your business or academic goals.

Essential Content That Builds Authority

Cornerstone content refers to detailed, valuable content that covers important topics deeply and thoroughly. It forms the foundation of your website’s overall content strategy.

When you create well-researched, unique, and informative cornerstone content, it helps establish your website as a trusted source in your niche. It also supports your site’s performance by improving Core Web Vitals and overall user experience.

Over time, strong cornerstone content can lead to higher search engine rankings and attract more consistent traffic to your most important pages.

Shareable Content

Creating shareable content helps boost your online visibility by encouraging social media shares and attracting valuable backlinks.

To succeed, your content must connect with your target audience. It should be informative, relevant, and emotionally engaging. Formats like infographics, videos, and well-written articles are especially effective in capturing attention and sparking shares.

When your content resonates with readers, they’re more likely to share it—bringing in more organic traffic and helping other pages on your site gain visibility too.

How Social Media Can Grow Your Website Reach

Social media plays a powerful role in growing your online presence and improving SEO. By encouraging content sharing, optimizing your social media profiles, and working with influencers, you can increase your brand’s visibility and drive more organic traffic to your website.

A well-planned social media strategy can lead to higher user engagement, better conversion rates, and overall business growth. When done right, social media doesn’t just support your SEO—it helps build long-term trust and connection with your audience.

Social Sharing

Encouraging social sharing is a key part of building a strong online presence. Adding share buttons to your blog posts and actively promoting your content on social media can help increase its reach and drive more organic traffic to your website.

A strong social media presence also helps improve brand awareness, keeps your audience engaged, and can even support better search rankings in the long run.

However, for some industries—like legal or professional services—organic social sharing may have less impact. In these cases, using targeted social media ads can be a more effective way to reach potential clients and grow online visibility.

Social Media Profiles 

Optimizing your social media profiles with the right keywords and linking them to your website can increase your online visibility and help attract more traffic.

Staying active and consistent on social platforms builds trust and credibility with your audience. Over time, this can lead to higher engagement, stronger relationships, and better conversion rates for your business.

Adapting to SEO Algorithm Updates for Better Rankings

In the fast-changing world of SEO, it's important to stay informed about the latest trends and search engine algorithm updates to maintain strong rankings.

By regularly tracking changes in Google’s search results and keeping up with trusted SEO news sources, you can quickly adjust your strategy. This helps ensure your website stays competitive and visible in search engine results pages (SERPs).

Google Algorithm Updates

Google updates its search algorithm around 500–600 times each year, which makes it important to stay informed about these changes.

By keeping an eye on Google’s updates, you can better understand how they affect your website’s search performance and adjust your SEO strategy when needed.

Staying updated allows you to make smart changes that help you maintain or improve your rankings in search engine results.

Adjusting Your SEO Strategy to Algorithm Updates

Updating your SEO strategy to match changing search algorithms and user behavior is essential for staying at the top of search results and attracting steady organic traffic.

By regularly doing keyword research and staying informed about the latest SEO trends and algorithm updates, you can identify what needs improvement and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Consistently reviewing and improving your SEO tactics helps your website remain competitive, visible, and effective in search engine results.

Tracking and Measuring SEO Success

Tracking and evaluating your SEO performance is crucial to understand what’s working and where you can improve. Tools like Google Analytics help you monitor organic traffic, user behavior, ad performance, and conversion rates.

These insights allow you to adjust your strategy to maintain or improve your search rankings over time.

Having access to accurate data means you can make smarter, well-informed decisions that keep your SEO efforts effective and aligned with your goals.

Google GA4 Analytics

Google’s GA4 Analytics is a powerful tool for tracking and analyzing your SEO efforts. It helps you monitor important metrics like organic traffic, user engagement, and conversion rates, giving you a clear picture of how your SEO strategies are performing.

By regularly reviewing this data, you can identify what’s working, spot areas for improvement, and make smarter decisions to optimize your website for better search engine performance.

Final Thoughts on SEO Success

In conclusion, staying up to date with the latest SEO strategies and trends is essential for growing your website’s organic traffic and improving its search engine rankings.

To achieve lasting success online, focus on the following key areas:

Conducting strong keyword research

Optimizing your on-page SEO elements

Enhancing the user experience

Earning high-quality backlinks

Using social media to expand your reach

Backlinks from reputable sites signal to search engines that your content is trustworthy and valuable. High-quality backlinks improve your domain authority, increase organic visibility, and help your pages rank higher in SERPs.

8. What is the role of user experience (UX) in SEO?

Search engines now consider UX signals like page speed, mobile-friendliness, easy navigation, and low bounce rates when ranking pages. A positive user experience keeps visitors on your site longer and encourages conversions, both of which boost SEO performance.

9. How do I optimize for voice search?

To optimize for voice search, use natural language in your content, target question-based keywords, and provide concise answers. Focus on conversational content that mimics how people speak, especially for featured snippets.

10. What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter?

Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics (like loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability) that measure the user experience on your site. Google uses these as a ranking factor, so improving them helps your site perform better in search results.

How to Choose the Best Skin Specialist in Surat for Your Skin Type

Taking care of your skin is essential to maintaining not only your appearance but also your overall health. Whether you're dealing with acne, pigmentation, aging signs, or other dermatological issues, consulting a qualified skin specialist is the first step toward healthier skin. But with so many options available, how do you choose the best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type? This comprehensive guide will help you make an informed decision while keeping your unique skin needs in mind.

Understand Your Skin Type

Before choosing a dermatologist, it's essential to understand your skin type. Generally, skin types are categorized as:

Oily skin: Prone to acne and enlarged pores

Dry skin: Flaky, tight, and sometimes itchy

Combination skin: Oily in the T-zone and dry elsewhere

Sensitive skin: Easily irritated by skincare products or environmental factors

Normal skin: Balanced with few issues

Knowing your skin type can help you narrow down the options when selecting the best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type.

Look for Relevant Experience

Not all dermatologists specialize in every skin condition or treatment. If you have a specific concern, such as cystic acne, eczema, or pigmentation, seek out a skin specialist who has extensive experience in treating that condition. Ask for before-and-after photos or case studies to assess their success in similar cases.

The best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type will have a proven track record of successfully treating people with skin profiles like yours.

Check Qualifications and Certifications

Ensure that the skin specialist is a certified dermatologist with credentials from recognized medical boards. Reputable specialists will have their qualifications openly displayed in their clinic or listed on their website.

In Surat, many top-rated clinics are run by board-certified dermatologists who continue to update their skills with the latest advancements in dermatology. Choosing a qualified and continuously learning expert is crucial in finding the best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type.

Evaluate Clinic Infrastructure and Technology

Advanced skin treatments require modern infrastructure and state-of-the-art technology. Visit the clinic if possible, or check their website to see what kind of equipment they use.

A well-equipped clinic that follows hygiene protocols and offers the latest skin analysis tools and non-invasive procedures often indicates quality care. These are some of the hallmarks of the best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type.

Read Reviews and Patient Testimonials

Word of mouth and online reviews can reveal a lot about a dermatologist’s credibility and success rate. Look for testimonials that specifically mention skin type or conditions similar to yours.

Reliable platforms such as Google, Practo, and social media pages offer authentic insights from past clients. Trust these to guide you toward the best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type who has consistently delivered good results.

Assess Communication and Personalization

A good dermatologist should not only be skilled but also a good communicator. They should take time to understand your skin issues, explain treatment options, and customize a skincare regimen based on your needs.

Avoid specialists who offer one-size-fits-all treatments. The best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type will personalize care based on your skin’s characteristics, lifestyle, and goals.

Consider Accessibility and Follow-Up Care

While expertise is crucial, convenience also matters. Choose a clinic that’s easily accessible and offers flexible appointment scheduling. Additionally, a skin specialist who provides follow-up care and support post-treatment ensures a smoother journey toward healthy skin.

Good follow-up care is a strong indicator of long-term commitment, making them the best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type.

Conclusion

When it comes to choosing the best skin specialist in Surat for your skin type, Skinoq stands out for its personalized approach, expert dermatologists, modern infrastructure, and proven results.

The Ultimate Checklist for Finding the Best Mortgage Brokers in Melbourne

When it comes to navigating Melbourne’s fast-paced property market, having the right mortgage broker by your side can make a world of difference. Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, or investing in property, the right expert can save you time, money, and stress.

But with so many options available, how do you know which Melbourne mortgage broker is the right fit for you?

We’ve put together the ultimate checklist to help you find and choose from the best mortgage brokers in Melbourne, tailored to your unique financial needs and goals.

Check for Proper Licensing and Accredition

Before anything else, make sure your broker is fully licensed. In Australia, mortgage brokers must hold an Australian Credit Licence or act as a representative of someone who does. They should also be a member of a professional body like the MFAA or FBAA, which ensures ongoing education and ethical standards.

Look for Local Expertise

Melbourne’s property market varies significantly from suburb to suburb. A broker who’s well-versed in the local market can offer valuable insights that go beyond interest rates. A seasoned home loan broker in Melbourne understands how local council rules, lender policies, and market trends affect your application and loan strategy.

Ask About Their Lender Panel

The best brokers have access to a wide range of lenders—major banks, credit unions, and non-bank lenders. A broad panel means more loan options tailored to your specific needs.

Be cautious of brokers who heavily push products from only one or two lenders. A great Melbourne mortgage broker works for you, not the banks.

Review Their Experience With Your Loan Type

Different brokers specialise in different areas. Some focus on first home buyers, others on refinancing, investment properties, or business lending.

If you’re purchasing a home, look for a home loan broker in Melbourne with a strong track record in residential loans. If you're a business owner looking for capital, a business loan broker in Melbourne or business finance broker in Melbourne will be more suitable.

Assess Communication and Transparency

You want a broker who communicates clearly, responds promptly, and keeps you informed at every step. Buying property or applying for a loan is a big deal—there’s no room for guesswork or poor follow-up.

A good broker should also be upfront about:

Their commission structure

Any fees involved

Your borrowing power and limitations

Ask for a Strategy, Not Just a Loan

Your mortgage should fit into your broader financial plan. That’s why many savvy buyers work with both a financial advisor in Melbourne and a broker.

A broker who collaborates with your investment advisor in Melbourne can ensure the loan supports your long-term goals—whether that’s wealth creation, passive income, or early retirement.

Read Reviews and Testimonials

Word of mouth goes a long way. Look for online reviews, Google ratings, or testimonials that mention:

Easy application processes

Successful outcomes

Honest advice

Long-term support

A top-rated mortgage broker in Melbourne will have happy clients willing to vouch for them.

Ask About Post-Settlement Support

Your relationship with a broker shouldn’t end after your loan settles. Good brokers continue to offer support through annual reviews, refinancing advice, or additional property purchases.

Whether you're building a portfolio or managing Melbourne home loans across multiple properties, having an ongoing relationship with your broker is a smart move.

Final Thoughts

Finding the best mortgage brokers in Melbourne isn’t just about who offers the lowest rate—it’s about expertise, transparency, and alignment with your goals.

Whether you’re a first home buyer, an investor, or a business owner, having the right support can make all the difference. And when paired with trusted professionals like a financial advisor in Melbourne or a business finance broker in Melbourne, your loan strategy becomes part of a much bigger, smarter financial picture.

Struggling to Be Seen Online? Here’s Why a Virginia SEO Agency Might Be What You Need

In today's competitive world, a business has to be on Google; if not, it is invisible. Customers keep on searching for products, services, and solutions; the distance they look varies from one to a few miles away from their residential area. So, how can you make your business distinctive? This is why hiring a Virginia SEO agency can give you the much-needed edge.

What Is So Important About SEO?

SEO stands for search engine optimization. SEO is one of the things that brings your website to the top in search results. The higher you rank, the more clicks your website gets instead of the competitor's. It is a long-term investment whose return is never realized once done correctly.

A good SEO strategy brings in traffic that converts; these are people who actively search for what you are offering. Therefore, it is targeted traffic that is organic and way more effective than just throwing money at ads.

Why SEO Going Local Makes Sense

Epochs of SEO businesses exist; why would you choose a company from Virginia?

It is straightforward: A local Virginia SEO firm understands the market better than a generic agency. They know what your neighbors are searching for. In their experience, they have noticed trends in consumer behavior between the cities of Richmond, Norfolk, and Arlington. They create strategies and tailor those strategies accordingly.

Instead of guessing what could work, the local bundle has seen it work—because they have done it before, right here in your region.

What a Good SEO Partner Does

If you have never worked with an SEO company before, you might ask yourself what exactly they do. Here is a quick rundown:

They audit your current website to find gaps or technical issues.

They research keywords your potential customers already use.

They optimize your site to load faster, read well, and be found in search more often.

They track your results, tweak tactics, and continuously improve results.

In a nutshell, at least in a very good agency, it will not just increase your visibility; it will increase your calls, click-throughs, and conversions.

Watch Out for Cookie-Cutter SEO

Not all SEO agencies or activities are created equal. Watch out for agencies offering packages that "fit all" and promising huge results in record time.

Good SEO takes time, effort, and expertise. Go for agencies that will tell you exactly what is going on with your site, offer proven results, and listen to what you want, not just send out generic monthly reports.

Need More Than Just SEO? Full-Service Agencies Can Help

There are many businesses today juggling social media, email newsletters, paid ads, and so on. If you're one of them, then it would be better to work with a full-service digital marketing company Virginia based.

Such a company won’t just be getting their hands dirty with your SEO. They’ll coordinate your strategy to flow across all platforms, so from Instagram pages to your website blog, toward the same end.

More brand consistency results, better customer experiences, and a coherent marketing plan instead of one that feels all over the place.

Real Businesses. Real Results.

Suppose you run a fitness studio in Virginia Beach. With help from your local SEO team, your Google Business Profile is optimally set up. After that, in just a few months, you begin to appear in "near me" searches, and bookings for classes grow by 30 percent.

Or you could be running an HVAC service in Charlottesville, with a new keyword strategy, new mobile design, and constant blog posts all doubling your website traffic and putting you up against the big boys in your area.

These wins do not come overnight. But with the right approach, they’re more than viable—they’re predicted.

Final Thoughts: It’s Time to Show Up Where It Counts

People in your region are already attempting to find what you do. If you’re not showing up, a person else is.

Hiring an expert Virginia SEO group can be the difference between a sluggish season and a booked calendar. Between a website that just exists and one that sells.

So if you’ve been thinking whether search engine optimization is well worth it, the answer is sure, but handiest whilst it’s executed properly. Find a company that knows your market, listens to your needs, and treats your enterprise like its very own.

Because in the end, being online isn’t enough. You want to be determined.

Because in the end, being online isn’t enough. You need to be found.

How to Maximize ROI with Google Ads: A Complete Guide

This is a step-by-step guide on how to maximize ROI with Google Ad campaigns for maximum profitability. Google Ads is easily one of the best digital advertising platforms in the world. With a well-thought-out strategy, planning, continuous optimization, and automation, the returns on this investment can be amazing for your brand or business. In this blog, we will talk about some of the things like Google ads optimization, PPC campaign Strategy, Smart bidding strategies, Targeting audience, etc. 

So, let’s first talk about Google Ads. What is it? How does it work? What are the benefits? Most of you reading this post might already know what it is, that is why you are here. So, in short, Google Ads is a digital advertising platform made by Google to let businesses put out ads on Google Search, YouTube, and other sites associated with the Google Display Network. The way it works is that when a user clicks on these ads, the advertiser must pay a certain amount according to these clicks. It is like paying people to come visit you rather than them coming by themselves. So how does that benefit you? Since it is a PPC (Play-Per-Click) campaign strategy, you only pay when traffic is generated. Unlike SEO, Google Ads is instantly visible because it doesn’t take time to rank.

So, we talked about what they are; let’s go step by step on how to Maximize ROI with Google Ads. 

Having a Clear Goal

So, you decided to launch a campaign; before you even think about anything else, let’s have a goal in mind. Whether it be lead generation by collecting details from potential customers or having your brand more recognizable in the market. What exactly is your goal for this campaign? Define it.

Comprehensive Keyword Research

A successful PPC campaign strategy has its foundations in keyword research. Having a long-tail keyword will always be better and have a higher conversion rate than a broad or short-tail keyword. This is because searching for a broader term will give out more results and might leave you like a fish in the ocean. The intent behind the user’s searches matters. So, if you have planned this properly, you could have the exact thing they were searching for. However, make sure your ads don’t come up on a user’s irrelevant searches, leading to wasted ad money.

High-Converting Ad Copy

The ad copy you are trying to put out should be captivating. This must pull in users to your website or page. To have that, you need captivating words, visuals, etc. Sparking a wild curiosity might work too, but it might as well work against you. Emphasize on what the product or service is, using CTA phrases like “HURRY UP.”. “TRY FOR FREE,” etc., will also help it have more conversions.

Optimizing and Testing So, you got the users to your page; how do you make them stay or become your customers? One of the ways is to make sure that your ad copy directs the users to the exact page they saw the ad for. Having a fast-loading speed and responsiveness for all devices. The page should not have any other things that might distract the user from what they came to see aside from a CTA like “BUY NOW” or a “SIGN UP” button. After all that, conduct an A/B test for Google ads Optimization from time to time for a higher performance.

Smart Bidding Strategies Depending on your campaign goals, you can implement automated bidding strategies powered by machine learning that Google offers. Do you want to get the highest amount of conversions within a budget, or do you just want to increase traffic on your website or page? You can even choose to have ROAS, which is a focus on maxing your revenue relative to the expenditure on ads, or Enhanced CPC, which automatically adjusts manual bids for better conversion.

Track Performance Finally, you are here; now all you have to do is watch how well your ad campaign is going. You can do this on Google Ads Report, Google Analytics, and UTM tracking to see if it is going well and make adjustments according to your goals.

So, to wrap it up, Maximizing ROI with Google Ads requires a lot of brainstorming. You need to define a set goal for your campaign. Watching how your PPC campaign strategy is working by running Google Ads Optimization to check the progress. All of these things will significantly improve how your advertisement is effective.
