Entry 14 – The One Where They Call It Chaotic but We Call it Predictable

<blip>

<blip>

<blip>

<blip-blip>

<blip>

Yes, I am fully aware my entries have been sparse of late, and, no, I am not planning to stop my general Lukola ramblings any time soon. In fact, once I run out of material, I’ll probably dabble with fan fiction because, meh, why the hell not? Any ways, the reason for my slight absence is that I’ve had a special guest staying at my house – one by the name of “Dad.” Yes, that dapper gentleman has been roosting on my porch for the past few weeks (because that’s the only place I allow him to smoke), drinking an ungodly amount of Coca-Cola and holding my shih tzu like she’s a human baby. He did pry himself away long enough to be my date to see “Wicked” (he loved it, by the way). Oh, and he was obliged to my incessant babblings about Lukola. In fact, he even opened my mind to a few theories of his own and made me laugh hysterically at his reaction to the Jakolas.

It has always been my intention to delve into a certain section of our timeline – the part where Luke seemingly ran off into the Summertime Sunset with his friend group, which included Antonia. That period in time is the cavity of my Lukola table puzzle. The left side isn’t connecting to the right side because there’s this gaping hole in the center called Hot Boy Fucking Summer! Before June 12, things made sense to me. Even with the muck we find ourselves in now, just about everything after July 30 has made sense to me. So, of course, Hot Boy Summer was a topic of discussion with my dad. Actually, it was an “all afternoon” one.

I originally presented the Before, During, and After of Hot Boy Summer in chronological order to my dad only to get blasted with, “Stop doing that shit!” after I mentioned “Bless the Telephone.” His gripe was that – like the Claddagh ring – I had failed to disclose to him information that may alter his opinion about the event for which we were theorizing. Specifically, if I knew that the Claddagh ring preceded June 12 and I knew Nicola’s aptly named “Chaos Week” followed July 30, then disclosing those details to him before asking him to theorize about what happened in between those two dates (i.e., Hot Boy Summer) was necessary and even critical to his final opinion.

I don’t believe there is much explaining to do on the front-end of Hot Boy Summer – at least not to my well-versed Lukolas. We presumably all watched the same World Tour (including that trip over to Galway so Luke could meet Nicola’s mother) and I’ve already discussed the Claddagh ring in Entry 6 of my blog. That leaves us with the tail-end of Luke’s summertime jaunt, which steers us into Chaos Week. For those of you who thought I was going to discuss Hot Boy Summer in this entry, I’m sorry – this one is dedicated to that erratic period of Nicola blowing her war horn, beckoning all Lukolas within a worldwide radius of London to commence at her feet. And, commence we did!

Have you ever heard of “chaos theory?” Broadly speaking, it’s the idea that small changes can result in major changes over time – like cause and effect. That’s kind of how I’ve looked back at Chaos Week. We’d spent most of the summer on one bummer of a vacation, with Luke and Nicola (presumably) spending time apart from one another. Sure, we’d had few fireworks explode here and there with pap pictures, and we saw JVN enter the ring as the fan favorite best friend but, on the surface, Hot Boy Summer was, well, rather static. It had carried on with a monotonous “blip…blip…blip…” until suddenly our radar detected a quiet but distinct “blip-blip,” which didn’t register in any of our minds until we had a torpedo coming straight for us!

I don’t believe we can attribute Chaos Week solely to Nicola. Yes, yes, I know, Nicola’s online presence in early to mid-August was chaotic, hence the name “Chaos Week.” But, I do not believe Nicola started Chaos Week. She sure as shit drove it home but, in my opinion, it wasn’t her actions that set everything in motion. Nicola wasn’t the “blip-blip;” she was the torpedo.

So, what was the “blip-blip?”

Luke returning to London – alone – on August 2, of course.

The friend group, which had included Antonia, was nowhere in sight.

Hot Boy Summer had come to an end (I imagine this to be the reason Nicola started blowing her war horn).

In my opinion, Luke’s return set everything else into motion. He was that second pendulum that caused the first one to spiral out of control.

But, we ate that shit up, didn’t we? Yeah, we sure did, and we loved every day of Chaos Week. What’s funny to me is that everyone remembers bits and pieces of Chaos Week, but they never seem to get it in the right order (how chaotic, right?). This happened, then that happened. No, no, that happened first. No, this happened first. The only way to really look at Chaos Week is to give order to the disorder. And, we’re going to do that via a very generic captain’s log, so…

Welcome aboard!

Mission: Chaos Week

Origin: Somewhere in Mayfair.

Destination: Happily Ever After.

Time of Departure: Fuck, I don’t know. When did you board this ship?

Expected Time of Arrival: Hopefully before we all wither up and die.

Log Entries:

August 2. Luke returned to London alone. Yeah, yeah, I know, I already told you that, but I had to add this:

<blip-blip>

August 4. Nicola decided to wake us all up from our somber summer with a plate of French toast. Umm, okay, that’s fucking random. I’m going back to bed – but wait, didn’t Luke say brunch was his “fav meal of the day?” Yeah, I swear I have that polaroid around here somewhere.

<blip>

August 7. Luke – after being absent on social media for what seemed like a lifetime – suddenly popped into his Instagram stories to post some delightfully cute Bridgerton Bloopers. The entire fandom rejoiced at Luke’s return to social media! And, let’s be honest, we only cared about the bloopers with Luke and Nicola. Hmm, Luke always has this intriguing, yet subtle way of surprising us. Did you hear that?

<blip-blip>

August 7. Shortly after Luke posted his Bridgerton Bloopers, Nicola swooped in and dropped a very loud Wordle anvil on her Instagram stories. <clang!> Was she clocking people for making fake social media accounts using her name? Did she really solve the Wordle in two? Actually, most of us ignored that part of the post entirely and went straight to Mr. Google to ask, “What does ‘anvil’ mean? Okay, how about in the Urban Dictionary?” You know you did, too! In all seriousness, though, when this first dropped, I considered whether she was directing the “anvil” at Luke. After all, let’s face it, Nicola was the one who promoted Bridgerton post-Papsmear while Luke disappeared from the limelight. It’s only natural that she might be a bit peeved at him suddenly promoting Bridgerton. However, in hindsight, I believe this to be nothing more than Nicola calling out the person making fake social media accounts under her name. During this time, there seemed to be an influx of fake social media accounts using Nicola and Luke’s names (Luke would address this same topic on his Instagram stories on August 24). And, as fun as it would be to theorize that the “anvil” was directed at someone (other than Luke, of course), it was, in fact, the Wordle for August 6. That said, I do believe that “Wordle” has become synonymous with “Luke” at this point. So, I’ll give you that.

<blip-blip>

August 8. JVN reposted their “[w]hen you catch someone trying to sneak a pic but you were born for these moments” to his Instagram grid. Did you think JVN wasn’t going to be included in Chaos Week?! They produced some of their best shit during this time! Any ways, Nicola liked this grid post, which confirmed my belief that Antonia played some part in the Italy pap pictures (for a full explanation on this, read “Entry 11 – The One About the Heart of the Ocean”). Thanks for the recap, JVN, although most Lukolas probably didn’t need to a reminder as to why they disliked Antonia.

<blip>

August 9. Nicola posted the Scrabble board to her Instagram stories. Whoa, hold up, Jakolas! Yeah, we know Jake played Scrabble with Nicola and – guess what – we Lukolas don’t care. I mean, I’ll even throw the Jakolas a small scrap of meat and say that Jake could (emphasis on could) have helpedNicola with the Scrabble board. Why am I being so charitable? Because that just makes me more confident Jake has always supported Lukola. You will not convince me (or probably any Lukola) that this Scrabble board was directed at anyone else but Antonia. In my opinion, there are only two things in this picture that matter – the central word “HEYA,” or “HEY A,” and the Guinness coaster. In fact, if I had been playing on the opposite side of this Scrabble board, I would have challenged this word. That alone says exactly what it needs to say. This is not to dissuade you from theorizing on every other word on that board, though. I’m simply saying I do not need any other evidence to persuade myself into believing the board was directed at Antonia. Now, if you want to take the two corner words and speculate that Nicola was having “SEX” with “DAD,” go right ahead – I won’t argue with you.

<blip-blip>

August 10. Nicola posted to her Instagram grid the now-deleted birthday greeting to her friend, Camilla. The caption read, “…Remember the time paparazzi took a picture of us and to protect me you grabbed my face?” If that’s not an indirect jab at Luke’s friend group, I’m not sure what it is because it sure as hell doesn’t scream, “Happy Birthday,” to me.

<blip>

August 11. Nicola decided to get out her blow torch and light every beacon fire she could find starting in Bowral and ending in London by posting the “Drink Your Milk” shirt to her Instagram stories. You could practically hear her rallying every last Lukola still standing: “Rise, Lukolas, rise!” In fact, I think some even rose from the dead that day! What was the crisis? Well, only that the “Drink Your Milk” shirt was exactly like the one Luke was seen wearing on or about June 22. Now, now, this was a charity promoted by Jonathan Bailey so it’s entirely possible Nicola was gifted her own shirt. But, guess what? The Lukolas didn’t give a shit! They deep dived into reflections on sunglasses and creases in t-shirt sleeves! And, no, I’m not speculating on that hot mess (if you’re interested in learning more, I promise you there’s plenty of TikToks for that). In truth, it never mattered to me whether the shirt belonged to Luke or not. What mattered was the perception that it was Luke’s shirt. It blew up the Internet and I would stand by my belief that, if the fandom’s perception of something was detrimentally incorrect, Nicola (or Luke) would have corrected it. Nicola did not correct this. And, no, Jakolas, don’t even talk to me about that scrap of green blanket in that picture. I don’t care if Jake played Scrabble with (presumably) Nicola at some point over the summer while sitting outside on a goddamn green blanket. The “Drink Your Milk” post was not a secret coded message to Jake. I would stand on a hill and argue that all afternoon. Why? Because – again – Nicola did not correct the “Luke’s shirt” narrative. She let the fandom run with it. In fact, we all got our own blow torches that day. Mine’s turquoise and engraved with my initials.

<blip-blip-blip>

August 12. JVN posted a “Special announcement” to their Instagram grid. Right about now, you might be, like, “What the fuck does this have to do with Chaos Week?” I told you, JVN has this way of slipping shit into to their posts that make you do a double take – usually a day later while you’re daydreaming during your drive to the office. This was one of those posts. The announcement was: “I’ve been waiting for this announcement until after the Paris Olympics had finished, as to not take away from the incredible success of USA Gymnastics…@teamusa has been following my journey and growth as a gymnast and showed up at my house to personally invite me to train to be a potential member of their 2028 team. While I hate taking a slot away from 2028 potentials like @simonebiles & @stephen_nedoroscik (as it appears quite obvious I’ll make whichever team I attempt to)…” What made this post stick out is that it is, in fact, bullshit. As in, it is a completely made-up story. Team USA did not visit JVN at their house; they’re not joining the USA gymnastics team. It’s not even that funny, to be honest. So, what was the point of it? It’s confusing as fuck when you read it at face value; however, when you drop it into the Lukola timeline, I’m convinced it alludes to something bigger. On August 11, we had Nicola posting the “Drink Your Milk” shirt – which sent the fandom into believing Nicola was wearing Luke’s shirt and that Luke’s reflection was in her sunglasses. On August 13, the day after this post, a torpedo was launched at us (warning, warning, anyone got a phone I can use?). When you look at this post as the middle piece connecting Nicola’s August 11 and August 13 posts, I believe it tells a story. Let me rewrite it for you but imagine it now coming from Nicola’s perspective: “I’ve been waiting for this announcement until after the Paris Olympics Hot Boy Summer had finished, as to not take away from the incredible success of USA Gymnastics Luke’s friend group, which included Antonia…Luke @teamusa has been following my journey and growth as a gymnast and showed up at my house to personally invite me to train to be a potential member of their 2028 team [choose your own adventure on this one]. While I hate taking a slot away from 2028 potentials like @simonebiles Antonia & @stephen_nedoroscik Rory (as it appears quite obvious I’ll make whichever team [“girlfriend” or best friend] I attempt to)…” Huh, at the very least, this post is starting to get the side-eye from you, isn’t it?

<blip-blip>

August 13. Oh, my God! My hair is on fucking fire!!! Nicola dumped “Bless the [Goddamn] Telephone” on her Instagram stories. Whose voice is nice to hear again? What is she trying to say?! Maybe nothing. No, it’s something. “It’s nice, the way you say my name; not very fast or slow, just soft and low; the same as when you tell me how you feel; I feel the same way, too; I’m very much in love with you. I’m very much in love with you.” I don’t need to elaborate any further on this post. It speaks for itself. Chaos Week had officially launched its massive torpedo (full of firecrackers and pinata candy) and the entire Lukola fandom was hysterical – in the best way possible. However, I will interrupt this happy moment with – Jakolas, please don’t start trying to link this song to Jake because Jack Rooke used it in an episode of “Big Boys.” Yes, we are aware Jake played a minor role in that show as a love interest to the main character, Jack. Again, Nicola did not shut down the fandom’s perception that the song was for Luke. Sorry, not sorry, Jakolas. If any part of Chaos Week was for Jake, I believe Nicola would have shut the entire thing down after realizing the fandom was associating everything with Luke.

< BLIP-BLIP-BLIP-BLIP-BLIP-BLIP>

August 15. After giving the fandom 48 hours to process “Bless the Telephone,” Nicola posted to her Instagram grid, “Very demure, very mindful.” In my opinion, Nicola was acknowledging that her recent posts (ahem, “Bless the Telephone”) were intentional, and she was aware of how they were being taken by the fandom (ahem, that they were for Luke).

<blip-blip-blip-blip>

August 15. JVN posted to their TikTok account “Slick Back Bun.” Hands down a fan favorite moment with JVN. “Sometimes I just need a very demure slick back bun…I don’t do my slick back bun like all the other girls. Here I’ll show you how to do it…I’m just going to take the hair and twist it around itself, so I just have a little cinnamon roll bun…” Do I need to elaborate on this one? Seriously, do I? Slick back bun – Antonia – yeah, okay, got it, we’re still going knives out on Antonia. If you haven’t watched this, it is still on JVN’s TikTok and Instagram grid. It was clever how “demure” JVN and Nicola were being that day.

<blip-blip-blip>

August 16. Nicola posted another song to her Instagram stories. This time it was Clairo’s “Juna.” It was not just a sweet, romantic song; it was full on sexy. “You make me wanna try on feminine; you make me wanna go buy a new dress; you make me wanna slip off a new dress…With you, there’s no pretending.” Alright, alright, enough! Wait – no, no – come back! I didn’t mean it! Please, please bring back your music to Instagram, Nicola!

<blip>

<blip>

<blip>

At this point, in my opinion, Chaos Week ended; however, I’m going to reference one more log entry mainly because, if I don’t, it will get overlooked in the small gap between Chaos Week and when the Jakolas enter the picture on August 25 (see “Entry 8 – The One About the Adjacent of Convenience” for that side show).

August 22. Nicola posted the picture of Luke and herself from Bridgerton Season 3 to her Instagram grid. And, no, I do not consider this to be a “Polin” picture. The picture appeared to be an alternative version of the polaroid Nicola carried with her throughout the World Tour. She captioned the post, “I thought I’d already shared this but I hadn’t so here you go now it’s all yours.” She also shared this in her stories and captioned that “with the lovliest pal a gal could have” and tagged Luke’s crotch. The story would disappear after 24 hours, but the post itself is still on Nicola’s Instagram grid. This post can be taken in several ways, depending on your mood. Was she friendzoning Luke because she used the word “pal” in her Instagram story? No, I don’t think she was. The “lov[e]liest pal?” That’s about as confusing as their “unique relationship.” Was she telling the fandom to support Luke because she supported Luke (i.e., stop hating on him)? Yeah, probably. Was she telling the fandom that she thought she’d already made it very clear that everything she had been posting was about Luke? Yes, I believe this to be the most reasonable answer, especially when you consider her previous posts. The reality is, that man fills a hefty chunk of her Instagram grid – and not dressed like Colin Bridgerton. But, I also believe that this post may have been a preemptive strike against the narrative that would surface three days later on August 25. It’s entirely possible Nicola knew that the pap pictures of Jake at the festival would be released by DeuxMoi (after all, it took DeuxMois over a week to release them), and Nicola was reminding fans that her narrative involved Luke. Note, that Nicola would repeat this in October when she and Luke simultaneously posted their “Polin” picture to their Instagram stories, which was followed a few days later by DeuxMoi dropping pap pictures of Nicola and Jake.

<blip-blip>

Oh, a few honorable mentions post-August 22: (a) Nicola posted a picture from her Stylist Magazine photoshoot – the one from the back seat of a car (i.e., the “modern day carriage”) on August 23; (b) Luke posted about how he only had an Instagram account on August 24; and (c) JVN posted his “two finger” hair straightening demo on TikTok on August 25 (yes, I only listed these honorable mentions to get to JVN’s “two finger” demo because that was some laugh-out-loud funny shit – and it’s literally on the heels of Nicola’s “modern day carriage”).

<blip>

August 25. What in the hot fucking kittens is that? Well, thank God, it’s not an iceberg this time. Whoa, they didn’t just pull that Non-Player Character from that group of guys and name a ship after him, did they? Hahaha, dumbasses. Oh, shit! It’s coming straight for us!

<BLIP-BLIP-BLIP-BLIP-BLIP>

End Log.

Well, how was Chaos Week? Did you have a good time? I’m honestly friggin’ exhausted. Seriously, even just writing all that down was exhausting. Like, my brain is fried. Oh, yeah, feel free to ignore that part at the end of our log. That shit happens every time the Lukolas are given a bit of fun. You’ll get used to it.

I took you on this excursion through Chaos Week today because I believe it is important to develop an opinion about what happened before and after Hot Boy Summer, especially if we’re going to theorize on it at a later point. And, as I mentioned earlier, the before played out in front of our eyes and the after, well, if we have the information available, why not peek in its direction? It’s almost like reading a book from back to front.

There are three things that happened during Chaos Week that have kept my feet firmly planted on the USS Lukola. One, Nicola wearing the “Drink Your Milk” shirt, alluding to the still uncorrected perception that it was Luke’s shirt. Two, “Bless the Telephone.” We started Hot Boy Summer with The Frames singing, “I’m gonna wait for you…” and ended it with Labi Siffre answering, “It’s nice to hear your voice again…” And, three, Nicola posting “Very demure, very mindful,” confirming – in my opinion – that she was very conscious of what her posts were telling the fandom – i.e., that they were for Luke.

But, as I was sitting here typing out my thoughts about Chaos Week, I found myself – oh, no, word vomit! – annoyed.

Yes, annoyed.

It’s not Chaos Week itself that has left me feeling annoyed. That was one hell of a “Bridgerton Ride.” It’s that Chaos Week set in motion this predictable pattern which solidified my opinion that “Lukolas can’t have nice things.” Seriously, we can’t have nice things because something always comes in and fucks it up.

You know how I mentioned at the beginning of this post that Luke’s return to London was the “blip-blip” that led to Chaos Week? Luke was the “cause” and Chaos Week was the “effect.” Well, Chaos Week was the “blip-blip” that led to the current state of the fandom. We now have three ships – the Lukola, the Jakola, and the Lutonia – sailing the Fandom Sea, and every time the Lukola finds itself flying high, it gets hijacked by one or both of those motherfucking side ships.

Every.

Single.

Time.

Somewhere in this hot mess, the chaos that originated from Nicola’s August social media spree found order! In fact, we’ve fallen into such a predictable pattern of events that the ebb and flow of the sideshow antics barely “blip” our radar these days. When bullshit starts bullshitting, I just breathe a deep sigh of unadulterated annoyance and think, “I’m so over this shit.” Honestly, I’m getting the vibe that many of us are over this shit. We’re not playing Scrabble anymore. We’re playing that never-ending game of Risk.

Sometimes I wonder if the fandom would have been better off if Chaos Week had never happened. That Pandora’s Box had never been opened and that the fandom had simply allowed the USS Lukola to sail off into the sunset. But, then I think about the people I have met along the way. The Ones that have made me laugh until my stomach hurts. The Ones with whom I’ve gone so far down a rabbit hole we’ve come out on the other side as different people. The Ones that I’ve rescued from the riptide. And, the Ones that have stopped me from rowing my dinghy to shore (because, yes, I’ve had rough days, too). You all know who you are.

So, I find myself putting up with the day-to-day humdrum of the Life of a Lukola, chatting with the people I now consider my friends, and waiting.

Waiting for something different to happen. A disruption to the current cycle. A new kind of chaos – preferably, the kind that mortally wounds the Jakola and Lutonia love triangles and finally allows the Lukolas to have (and keep) nice things.

But, in the meantime, I am still sitting here – listening for that quiet but distinct sound – but also contemplating knocking the Risk board off the table.

the office

Jason was looking forward to his first semester at college, but after a few months, he realized it wasn’t for him. He came home to his parents estate so he could get a job and find somewhere to live. His parents were crazy rich. His mom owned Coca-Cola, and his dad was a self made billionaire that sold pretty much everything. They lived in a mansion filled to the brim with different commodities and services. They had a bowling alley, restaurant, amusement park, movie theater, and their own private chef.

Jason always felt like he didn’t fit in with his family. He had curly brown hair and a sharp jaw. His perfect muscles were complimented by his small waist and strong thighs. A lot of people told him he looked just like his dad, but Jason didn’t see it. His dad looked alright until you saw his beer belly. It was like a perfect ball of a gut that hung over his waist. Jason thought it was ugly. He was a huge fitness junkie, and he took pride in his figure.

Jason told the chef to make him a nice meal to celebrate being home while he looked for a job. Looking online, he saw a listing for an office job. He would sell cutlery to clients from his desk. Looking further, it seemed like Jason would never even have to get out of his chair to do his job. It seemed perfect. His chef came back with an entire pizza, garlic bread, spaghetti, different kinds of exotic cheeses, and dessert. Jason dug in.

at the first day of his new job, he was showed to his desk and given basic instructions on how to do everything. It seemed even easier than he thought! Walking into the break room, Jason helped himself to a donut that was sitting on the table. “Jason?” A voice said. Turning around Jason saw a guy who looked to be like 20 staring at him. He had a buzzed blonde head with some stubble and a nice mustache. Jason quickly recognized the man as Connor. His old friend from high school. He looked about the same until Jason looked down. He saw that Connor’s flat stomach was now more of a soft ball gut. It pressed heavily against the buttons on his shirt. They caught up for a bit and Connor invited Jason to lunch. Turns out there was an entire food court upstairs. Jason ordered a chicken sandwich and a salad with a soda to wash it down. Connor ordered a Big Mac, fries, large shake, and an extra cheeseburger incase he got hungry later. No wonder he was so fat.

after around a month of working in the office, things were going great. Jason got lunch with Connor every day and stole donuts from the break room whenever he wanted. He worked most hours of the day and came home to request a feast from his chef. His life couldn’t have been more perfect. But this morning, as he tried to button his pants, he was finding it slightly harder than usual. He looked down to find his perfect abs were nothing but a memory. They were replaced by a thin layer of fat in his midsection. Jason didn’t think much of it. Maybe just lay off the donuts for a while.

IN THIS TOGETHER | ITOSHI RIN*ੈ✩‧₊˚ ; 694wc

episode 2: “a bribe to take medicine.”

synopsis: jiro and rin are both sick, struggling to take of each other so wifey y/N must conquer their sickness!

warnings: family life + pro player au + fluff + “in sickness and in health”

“Tsk tsk, I told you two that you should shower right after you get home!” y/N lectured the two boys laying on the couch, both snuggling against a warm blanket you put through the dryer a few minutes ago.

“Momma don’t be mad at Papa!” Jiro get’s up and looks at you with big doe eyes, as you sit down next to the two. “I am not! I could never be mad at Daddy!” You say before handing over a measuring cup filled with berry-flavored cold medicine. “Momma I don’t like- taking dis!” Jiro denied the medicine and you sighed. “I promise, I’ll let you take a sip of water. Baby you need to take medicine so your cold goes away!” “No!” Jiro screams before jumping off the couch and running into the hallways of your apartment.

You sigh and look over to your sleepy husband who seems to be enjoying his son running away from you. “Go get your son.” You say sternly, and quickly his laugh faded and his face adorned a pout. “But Mommy, I am sick and don’t feel well..” He says in between sniffles and you let out a breather breath. Getting up from the couch you swiftly catch Jiro and carry his squirming body.

“C’mere baby. I promise I’ll let you take a sip of Coca-Cola if you do!” At this point, you’re trying anything to have your son take the medicine. The medicine that’s gonna be the only thing to make him feel better. He gives in.

Jiro is in fact a momma’s boy and twin. Twin meaning in personality and interests. Looks wise, Jiro looks exactly like Rin, a twin born way later if you must. The bottom lashes that adorned your husbands' eyes passed onto Jiros, which you secretly thanked for his strong genes to pull through.

“Good job baby!” You say as he swallows the medicine in full, choking on the flavor but the medicine flavor was soon washed down by the flavor of Coca-Cola. You carry Jiro back onto the couch, laying him down on the opposite of Rin, tucking him in with a Paw Patrol blanket that Rin’s parents gifted him for his birthday.

“Get some sleep okay?” You whisper as you kiss Jiro’s forehead, and ran your finger down his nose bridge a few times until you start to hear slight snores from him. Your attention is brought to your husband when his face still adorns that stupid puppy dog look on his face.

“I am waiting for my turn.” He says seriously until he blurts out a big sneeze. You quickly bring the tissue box over to him and he blows his nose. “I gave you antibiotics before…I would be overdosing you!” You say, running your fingers through his hair, feeling the heat from his forehead. “I’ll be right back.” You say before running to your bathroom to get a cold washcloth and then proceeding to put it on his forehead. Letting him have some sort of relief.

“Get better soon okay? It hurts my heart seeing the two of you sick together!” You say before planting a kiss on his cheek..which resulted in Rin puckering his lips. “If I get sick, it’s your fault!” You say before planting your lips onto his, you then started to do the same motion as you did for Jiro…finger running down his nose bridge as you witnessed another man fall asleep to your touch.

“Get better soon handsomes~”

You get up from the ground to turn the living room light off, you went into your office and online order some groceries that will be able to use in a family recipe, used when you were sick and it would help you to a speedy recovery.

As you waited for the delivery, you worked on office work and started working on a physics question that you were still yet to complete for work. Why must punish women in STEM? You think as you try your best to solve until you had a series of sneezes.

You look out of your office to see your two boys sleeping peacefully, until another achoo leaves your body…

What I think Lego monkie kid characters favorite fast foods are.

This is strictly just head canons so if you don't like it then that's ok, I have an opinion and you yours.

Mk: KFC. I also think he likes the desserts that he buys from there as well. He's a bit upset about KFC not issuing out unlimited drinks after COVID but he definitely orders from there.

Mei: Popeyes. She likes the spicy food and fries and she loves the popcorn chicken there as well, she drinks either coca cola or lemon soda with the chicken.

Pigsy: Burger King, he liked that they're fast with their food and orders a burger for Tang sometimes when he asks cause Tang can be picky on the fast food he eats(except for pigsy, he loves his husband's noodles)

Tang: Depending on his mood he either goes for Wendy's or Little Caesars. Absolutely despises going to other pizza places for some reason and occasionally eat burgers from Burger King.

Sandy: I believe that he's a vegetarian but for this one time he looks like somebody that eats subway sandwiches. He even gets a coupons and cards there for deals and event food.

Nezha: Pizza Hut and Little Caesars. He fucking LOVES their pizzas since he can order them online or on call and they'll deliver hot for him in less than 2 hours. They can be a bit messy for pizzas sometimes but he doesn't mind at all, he likes eating them while he works and his favorite drink is Pepsi.

Dbk and PIF: Burger King and Pizza Hut, no literally, they will order from them at the same time and get an extra pizza for Redson since he doesn't really like eating burgers.

Redson: Popeyes and Pizza hut, he eats more Popeyes than Pizza Hut but that doesn't matter to him, he loves the popcorn chicken and for Pizza Hut, everytime without fail he orders jerk chicken and green pepper pizza with stuffed crust, Bro cries when he eats cause it's just that fucking good, favorite drink with it is Sprite, the hell juice.

That's all I have for part 1 making part 2 tmrw probably

Burger King Japan Pop-Up Location "Natsukoi Set" Ice Whopper and Bottle

Food AND Drink

Type of Funny Food: Seasonal / Event

Introduced: August 2022

Location: Online / Umi no Ie Oasis Pop-Up, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

To hop on an ongoing shaved ice trend in Japan, Burger King Japan created a special, exclusive set of items meant to beat the summer heat. These were billed as the "Summer Love Set", or "Natsukoi Set".

The main attraction of the set was the Ice Whopper, a typical Whopper with a layer of shaved ice on top of the patty and pickles.

Along with the Ice Whopper, there was the Ice Bottle, a coke bottle made entirely out of ice served with Coca-Cola. Customers needed to drink the soda quickly, or risk the bottle melting out from under it.

The Ice Whopper and the frozen Ice Bottle were only available for two days. Orders needed to be placed in advance online, and could be picked up at the beachside pop-up location in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Apologies for the lack of clear pictures. The only pics I could get came from YouTube videos where the subtitles and setting widgets obscured the item.

[lilnasxvevo]

My thing about this is—I have two things about this. The first is that so much work in the modern world is fucking stupid or bad. Like, there are people whose job it is to make up advertisements for McDonald’s or Amazon or Coca-Cola, all absolutely monstrous companies doing monstrous things to this world. Is it truly more morally good for those people to go to their jobs and do their jobs than it would be for those people to sit at home and collect a UBI check and not work? That just doesn’t seem right to me. Or like, there are so many people who will readily admit online to their job just like barely being a job. People who sit in a cubicle for 40 hours a week but only actually do work for like 5 of those hours. And you can’t even imagine how many companies in this world are dedicated to doing bullshit dumb useless things that doesn’t do anyone a lick of good. Some people are literally stockbrokers. And so on and so on.

But ultimately, even if we lived in an incredible utopia where every job was useful or created a net good in the world in some way, I would still have trouble with the argument that it’s more morally good to do a job if you are able to than to not do a job. If there are enough people in the workforce to do all the things that need to be done, what the hell do you need me for? If we have created a world where everybody’s needs are met without everyone needing to work 40 hours a week—well—how wonderful! The people who want to work these lovely jobs will do that, and I will simply devote my life to something that is not a job instead.

Like, what is the argument? That it is morally bad to receive everything you need to live—food, clothing, shelter—without toiling away in the hamburger mines in order to “earn” them? Those things are human rights! By definition, no one should have to earn them!

I actually still followed the OP of all these posts when the arguments started so I saw it play out in real time, and I will report that they deserved and deserve every bit of mockery that people have heaped on them. To not back down from such a transparently stupid conviction is to invite scorn.

Digital Marketing Vs Traditional Marketing

What distinguishes digital marketing from conventional marketing, and which should you use? Every marketer has thought about choosing the appropriate marketing type for a very long time. Here is all the information you require.

a comparison between traditional and digital marketing strategies Image courtesy of OrangeCrush

Simply put, digital marketing is the use of online platforms like websites and social media as instruments for marketing communication.

If you use social media, you are likely familiar with the advertisements that appear in your stream; this is digital marketing.

Traditional marketing: What is it? — On the other hand, traditional marketing uses conventional platforms like printed media and billboards. Imagine Don Draper from Mad Men coming up with Coca-Cola TV commercial concepts and copy for coca-cola

Pros and Cons Of A Digital Marketing Strategy

Digital marketing has its perks. However, there are a few disadvantages to this type of marketing that we will also consider in this section.

Digital Marketing Strategies Pros

Below are some of the advantages of digital marketing that marketers worldwide can relate to.

A. It makes it a lot easier to reach a global audience

Digital marketing strategies help you reach a global target audience. For example, when you create a website, it is not limited to your locality. Everyone that’s using the internet can access the information on that site. The same goes for social media marketing.

B. Results are Measurable

Whether you’re running social media ads or search engine marketing, digital marketing allows you to easily determine how many people clicked on your ad by using a few metrics. Unlike billboard and magazine ads where you can’t tell how many people saw them.

C. Personalized Ads

Digital advertising has made it effortless to contact consumers on a more personal level unlike the traditional media that creates ads on a more general basis. By clicking on a few links on the website, businesses can target a customer in real-time, calling them by name.

D. It is cost-effective

Unlike traditional marketing methods, meeting your target audience where they are will no longer cost you a hunk of your capital. Digital marketing allows you to create several campaigns at a very cost-effective rate.

E. Building interaction

Internet marketing is the easiest way to interact with your target audience anytime, any day. By frequently posting content on social media, you can get the reactions and feelings of your consumers about your product or service.

F. Higher conversion

Digital and traditional marketing will boost conversion. However, one does it better than the other. Your digital marketing efforts are very much more liable to bring in customers because the majority of your potential customers are online.

With digital marketing, you can meet them where they are and with just a few clicks, they can buy the product before they even know it.

G. It doesn’t take your time

Although building your brand online can take a while, just like any type of marketing, advertising online doesn’t require too much time or physical effort.

Cons of digital marketing strategies

Below are some of the disadvantages of digital marketing.

A. It requires a lot of experience

To be able to carry out a digital marketing strategy successfully, you need to be very experienced in all the different aspects of digital marketing mentioned above. Well, that is why you could simply hand the job over to a digital marketing company.

B. Visible complaints and negative feedback

One of the ills of digital marketing is the fact that your target audience can see what other users have to say about your product or service—bad or good. This can be a blessing or a curse, depending on the quality of your product or service.

C. Competitiveness

Online marketing is inarguably the order of the day. Every company has a social media account, a website, and most likely, a digital marketing company to handle these tasks for them.

This makes digital marketing very competitive. Your audience is very likely going to be seeing your competitors as much as they see you.

D. Privacy issues

With online marketing, you need to be very careful how you use the information of consumers. You have to be careful not to breach their privacy or security terms.

Traditional marketing vs. Digital marketing: what is traditional marketing?

Traditional marketing is any marketing activity or effort that is done offline. It is the only form of marketing that was done before the internet and social media became a huge part of our existence. However, traditional marketing is still highly in use.

Traditional marketing strategies involve the use of channels like prints, magazines, billboards, television, direct mail, and radio ads for interacting with customers and potential customers. It needs to be mentioned that over 40% of direct mail never gets opened.

Traditional marketing is difficult to ignore. It is always in your face. It comes in form of TV commercials that you cannot skip. If you must watch your program, then you must watch the ad.

The traditional marketing strategy makes use of the four Ps of marketing, which includes the following:

1. Product

Traditional and digital marketing focus on products and services. However, traditional marketing takes it up a notch by getting feedback from customers about the product and ensuring that it meets the request of customers. Digital marketing doesn’t pay attention to this. It focuses solely on advertising and selling.

In traditional marketing, the product has to be presented in a way that is palatable and solves the problem of the end-user. Everything from the packaging to branding and just about anything that makes the product more appealing to the user is focused on.

2. Price

How much do we set the price at? How much do our competitors charge for this product or service? Will we make any profit by bringing down the price to drag in customers? Will we get any customers by taking the price up? Can we sell at the same price even though our brand is better? All these are questions that go into the determination of price.

Traditional marketing strategy carries price along with the product and it is not a coincidence that “pricing” is very often placed after “product” when talking about the 4 Ps.

3. Promotion

Promotion is where traditional and digital marketing has almost everything in common. The promotion has to do with every activity that helps the brand get more recognition and also helps the company make more sales.

Traditional marketing will use radio and tv commercials, one on one advertising, billboards, and several other means to promote the product. Promotion doesn’t end at advertising. Discounts, gifts, and other strategies that help customers interact with the brand also count.

4. Place

The place in traditional marketing simply refers to the location of the business—headquarters or branch.

How do we situate the office or factory in such a way that we’re able to meet our customers at the point of their needs? Where do we set up the farm so that we can easily access the market for sales? These questions and more are what “Place” in traditional marketing tackles.

The Pros and Cons of Traditional Marketing

Traditional marketing has made its mark on marketing in general and will continue to do so. One question we very often get when talking about digital marketing vs. traditional marketing is whether one will outlast or terminate the other. Let us consider the pros and cons before we go into that.

Traditional Marketing Strategy Pros

Below are some of the important advantages of traditional marketing.

Establishes credibility: When you see advertising on TV, there’s a very high chance that you automatically think the company is a legit one.

Creates an easier connection with a local audience: When you create a marketing campaign on a radio station, you know you’re only relating with potential customers in that locality. It helps you channel your marketing campaigns more creatively.

It’s better for connecting to a larger and broader audience: One of the advantages of digital marketing over traditional marketing is that you can target an audience based on specific demographics. However, for brands that cater to more general audiences, traditional marketing helps you do that with ease.

Helps you connect emotionally: Traditional marketing allows you to communicate more emotionally to your audience, giving you room to connect more with them.

Traditional Marketing Strategy Cons

When it comes to a more modern and broader picture of marketing, the traditional way is at a disadvantage. Let’s take a look at the few cons of this form of marketing.

It is often more expensive: running a traditional marketing campaign requires so much funding. When you add the media buy and the total cost of production (+ marketing costs), you’ll see that it costs a lot to keep it running. According to Fit Small Business, the cost of running a full-page print ad can cost anywhere from $2,700 to $160,000.

The results are difficult to measure: when it comes to digital marketing vs. traditional marketing, one major deciding factor is how well these forms of marketing are doing. With traditional marketing, you cannot measure how many people interacted with your advertising campaign. How then do you know if it is worth paying for?

Most people don’t pay attention to the traditional media anymore. TVs and radios have not gone out of style but they are no longer as important as they used to be.

The traditional marketing campaign takes far too long to execute.

It is difficult to target a sub-segment audience.

How Does A Digital Marketing Strategy Differ From A Traditional Business Strategy? 

The major differences between digital marketing, traditional marketing, and other types of marketing are the marketing channels and cost.

While digital marketing uses online tools and media, traditional marketing uses offline campaigns. You already know which one costs less and saves time.

Businesses that use digital marketing can reach their audiences much faster than traditional marketers because you don’t need to do

Another major difference between the two methods is that digital marketing allows you to only target an audience that has shown interest in your product or one that is interested in your industry.

You can see results in real-time with digital marketing. You know which variation of your audience is buying from you and which one may be interested but not yet ready to buy. This helps you to properly structure your campaigns.

Traditional Marketing vs Digital marketing

Deciding which one of these marketing methods to choose is not a difficult task, especially after reading through this piece of content.

Digital marketing, traditional marketing, or any other form of marketing has its good sides and not-so-good sides. However, when you consider which one has more good and less bad, you’ll know which one to choose.

From the carefully outlined advantages and disadvantages of both digital and traditional marketing mentioned above, it is obvious that digital marketing has a sharp edge over traditional methods.

Why’s that?

As of April 2021, more than 60% of the world’s population uses the internet in one way or the other. To clarify things, the world’s population is around eight (8) billion. This simply means that over half of the world’s population is on the internet doing one thing or the other.

Advertising to that population had to be the best marketing strategy ever, compared to sending direct mail, installing billboards, or using TV and radio ads.

One good thing, however, that most marketers will never tell you is that these two methods of marketing can work together to create the best campaign or strategy ever seen. This is because both methods give you access to both digital and traditional audiences.

Whether you like it or not, there will always be people who won’t and can’t use the internet. Kids, for example, influence their parents to make certain buying decisions.

Targeting this population has to be done through marketing channels where they can be met. TV shows for kids are a great place to do that.

Our advice is if you only have to choose one of digital and traditional marketing, then go digital. It is cost-effective and conversion is guaranteed, as long as you have an expert on the job.

Work With The Leading Cleveland Marketing Company

To achieve success in digital marketing, you need a highly experienced digital marketing company. It is very possible to do it alone, there’s no doubt about that. However, if you consider the time, effort, and cost of learning most of these skills, handing the task over to an expert is your best bet.

Work with the best Cleveland marketing company today and watch your business grow from where it is to where you want it to be in a matter of months.

We have been helping businesses maximize profits and boost sales. Our marketing strategy cuts across both traditional methods and digital methods.

We have a team of experts to handle all the different digital marketing channels, including social media, emails, search engines, website designs, and several others.

Conclusion

Traditional and digital marketing have proven to be important parts of the world of today’s businesses. You certainly cannot rule out the importance of one of these forms of marketing to favor the other.

Digital marketing can be referred to as the marketing method for the current world but that doesn’t rule out the fact that traditional marketing can complement its effectiveness.

Most of the time, marketers use traditional marketing to solidify the level of trust that consumers have in them and their digital campaigns.

How Brand Design & Development Drives Customer Loyalty and Trust

In today’s hypercompetitive marketplace, where customers are spoiled for choice, a brand’s success depends on its ability to forge genuine relationships with its audience. This connection often starts with a powerful visual identity and evolves into a consistent and authentic experience. Brand Design & Development plays a pivotal role in this journey by fostering trust and driving loyalty, setting the stage for sustainable growth.

Why Brand Design Matters

First impressions are everything, especially in the digital age. The visual identity of a brand, including its logo, colors, typography, and imagery, serves as the face of the company. It’s the first interaction customers have with your brand, making it essential to create a memorable and professional design.

Take color psychology, for example. Brands like Coca-Cola and Starbucks use red and green not just as colors but as emotional triggers that convey energy and warmth. When done effectively, brand design establishes a sense of trust even before the customer makes a purchase.

Apppl Combine, a leader in Brand Design & Development, specializes in crafting designs that not only look stunning but also connect with the intended audience. Their team understands the science of design, ensuring that every visual element communicates the brand’s values and mission.

The Role of Brand Development in Building Loyalty

While design captures attention, development builds the foundation. Brand development involves defining your brand’s story, voice, and promise. It answers key questions like:

What does your brand stand for?

What problems does it solve for customers?

How does it make customers feel?

When customers see that a brand’s actions align with its promises, they begin to trust it. This trust transforms occasional buyers into loyal customers and, eventually, into brand advocates.

Apppl Combine excels at helping brands articulate their purpose. Through meticulous research and strategic insights, they craft compelling narratives that resonate with target audiences, enabling brands to create deep emotional connections.

Consistency is the Key to Trust

Trust isn’t built overnight. It’s cultivated through consistency across every interaction. Whether it’s your website, social media, packaging, or customer service, each touchpoint should feel like part of a cohesive whole.

Imagine ordering from a premium coffee brand online and receiving a package that’s poorly designed or inconsistent with the website’s aesthetic. This inconsistency creates doubt, damaging trust. On the flip side, when every interaction aligns with the brand’s values and design, customers feel reassured and confident in their choice.

Effective Brand Design & Development ensures this seamless experience. By maintaining a consistent voice and look, businesses can reinforce their credibility and reliability, key factors in gaining customer trust.

Emotional Engagement and Its Impact on Loyalty

Emotion is at the heart of customer loyalty. Research shows that emotionally connected customers are more likely to buy repeatedly, recommend your brand, and forgive mistakes.

Storytelling is a powerful tool for emotional engagement. Brands like Nike and Apple don’t just sell products; they sell aspirations and lifestyles. Their campaigns inspire people, creating lasting emotional bonds.

With Apppl Combine, businesses can leverage storytelling and design to create experiences that captivate customers on a deeper level. Their tailored strategies go beyond marketing, building emotional engagement that drives loyalty.

Why Trust and Loyalty Matter

Trust and loyalty are the lifeblood of a successful brand. Loyal customers:

Spend more frequently and are less price-sensitive.

Act as brand ambassadors, spreading positive word-of-mouth.

Are more forgiving when mistakes happen, provided the brand addresses them transparently.

Investing in professional Brand Design & Development pays dividends by ensuring that customers feel valued, understood, and respected.

Conclusion

In a crowded marketplace, your brand’s ability to foster trust and loyalty can make or break your business. Exceptional Brand Design & Development lays the groundwork for this relationship, creating an experience that customers return to time and again.

With decades of expertise, Apppl Combine has helped countless brands craft identities that stand out and resonate deeply with their audience. From stunning visuals to authentic brand narratives, they understand what it takes to create lasting impressions.
