honestly never understood the idea of sequels that "ruin" the series like??? it's all made up. literally just don't look, and if you do for some reason, just mentally put it in the same folder as fanfiction. the concept of the "validity" of a piece being dependent on whether it's canon or not is completely fabricated bullshit made up by cappies, lame-o's, and narcs trying to force "intellectual property" agenda down your throat. write your own sequel. be your own cowboy. i hope you dance by lee ann womack.

Earn Extra $100+ Weekly Completing Simple Task Online From Home
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello everyone,
I wanted to share a great opportunity for making money online that I recently came across. It's a platform where you can earn money by completing simple tasks and referring others to join.
I've been using this platform for a few months now, and I've already earned $231 just by completing tasks like taking surveys, watching videos, and testing apps. It's a great way to earn some extra cash in your free time.
But the real power of this platform is in the referral program. For every person you refer to the platform using your unique referral link, you'll earn $1. And if they refer others, you'll earn a percentage of their earnings too. So the potential for earnings is really unlimited.
If you're interested in trying it out, I would really appreciate it if you could use my referral link
>>>>CLICK HERE<<<<
Not only will you be helping me out, but you'll also get a bonus of $10 for using my referral link to sign up.
Thanks for reading, and happy earning.

Earn money without investment
Earning money without any initial investment can be challenging, but there are several legitimate ways to make money with minimal or no upfront costs. Here are five ways to do it:
Freelancing: If you have skills like writing, graphic design, programming, social media management, or any other marketable talent, you can offer your services on various freelancing platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer. Clients will pay you for completing tasks or projects.
Online Surveys and Market Research: Many companies pay for consumer opinions and market research. You can sign up for legitimate survey websites like Swagbucks, Survey Junkie, or Vindale Research and get paid for sharing your opinions and participating in surveys.
Content Creation: If you enjoy creating content, you can start a blog, YouTube channel, or a social media account focused on a particular niche. As your content gains traction and attracts an audience, you can monetize it through ads, sponsorships, or affiliate marketing.
Online Tutoring or Teaching: If you have expertise in a subject or skill, you can offer online tutoring or teaching services. Websites like VIPKid, Teachable, or Udemy allow you to create and sell online courses.
Gigs and Odd Jobs: Many websites and apps connect people who need small tasks done with those willing to do them for a fee. You can sign up on platforms like TaskRabbit, Gigwalk, or Zaarly to find gigs and earn money by completing various tasks in your local area.

An idea where Simon is a guy who posts tutorials on YouTube in his spare time outside of deployment. It was Johnny’s idea, originally—gossiping about how “th’ internet’s made increasing ‘money easy. All ya need is a wee bit of brains and a half-decent camera,” on a night when the team decided to hit the pub for a pint or two. The Scot continues, “Hell, ye dinnae even need a brain, people just shake their asses on camera and call it a day.”
And at first, Simon wasn’t interested. But somehow, he ended up posting his first tutorial video, uploaded with a half-assed, messy title. No one's going to watch it, anyway.
Until, his old laptop dinged with an email notification—someone had left a comment on his video, “Great video. Precise and thorough. Earned a sub.” Zero became one subscriber, then two, ten, until he had 98. It was a random channel, actually; it didn’t focus on one type of content. He posted whatever he wanted to post—and it ended up being something like fishing, survival tips, DIY engine modification or something like that. And sometimes even cooking.
Simon thought of making a video about disassembling and assembling different types of weapons, but ended up not doing so to avoid comments about the military. So, he uploaded that video of him cooking the easiest thing he could—English Breakfast. And you. You stumbled upon that video.
It’s funny, that this gruff-voiced, tattooed man who keeps his identity anonymous by staying behind the camera has his own way of cooking his sausages, paying attention to the details of his scrambled eggs and flipping his toast to the perfect crispness. He slips in a few tips, a few lame jokes that end up being funny because of the chuckle you hear in the video. You don’t usually leave comments or even like videos on YouTube, but—
“I never thought I’d crave a full English breakfast until now. Love the step-by-step instructions. And just wanted to say, the voice and the accent… *chef’s kiss*”
When you wrote that, you weren’t thinking anything. After all, you weren’t the only one saying that—the comment section was filled with compliments, and four of them also mentioned how his voice made them crave something and it’s not the food.
You weren’t expecting anything until a ding caught your attention from your laptop the next morning. A new email – from Youtube. A reply from Reaper777. Who's that? Oh, oh.
“Glad you liked the video. Maybe I’ll make more videos just for you then.”
… Reaper777, are you flirting? The corners of your lips tug as your smile spreads; your fingers fly to your phone screen and you quickly type a response.
“Can I make some special requests then?” and send. Then, another ding.
Reaper777: Let’s hear it.
And that was the beginning of a long thread of comments under a Youtube video on how to make a full English breakfast.

Ghost spoiling his wife😏😏
GOD THIS MAN. This fucking man. Simon Riley the man you are.
He doesn't spend much money besides on his mask making hobby, so what happens with all that hard earned money? Whatever his wife wants, of course. See a pretty dress when you're walking on the mall? He bought it in your favorite color, waiting for you at home when you get back from getting your nails done— which he paid for, of course.
But it's not only about money, he spoils you with actions as well. Your back hurts? No problem, he'll give you a massage and plant soft kisses all over your back, apologizing for how rough his calloused hands feel despite you reassuring him it's okay, you barely even feel the roughness.
You're sick? No problem, he rarely cooks but for you? He's making the tastiest vegetable soup after watching a YouTube video, making sure everything is well cooked before he brings it to you in bed, staying by your side and cuddling you while you sleep. If your temperature gets too high, he puts a cold cloth on your forehead and is replacing it every few hours.
You're on your period? No problem, he goes to the store and gets you anything you're craving along with new pads. His warm hand is gently massaging your tummy, trying to help with the cramps and holding you close while you're in bed, taking care of you even if you get grumpy.
His main love languages are quality time and acts of service— this man is a lovely softy once he realizes he likes you, and spoils you even more without even thinking about it when you date him.

✮⋆˙Can't Feel My Face˙⋆✮
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Synopsis: Rockstar! Heeseung as your boyfriend
Genre: Fluff
Warnings: none
A/N: REUPLOAD ON MY NEW ACCOUNT
Heeseung | Jay | Jake | Sunghoon | Sunoo | Jungwon | Ni-ki
--------------------------------------------------------
Rockstar! Heeseung is a global sensation. His fame is international, his name alone sends shockwaves through the music industry, and he has fans from across the globe who worship the ground he walks on.
Rockstar! Heeseung sells out massive venues in every major city. Fans are captivated by his performances which are a magnetic display of raw sensuality and dark captivating energy
Rockstar! Heeseung has designer brands tripping over their own feet to have him model their product. His face on their advertisements promises sales to skyrocket.
Rockstar! Heeseung is highly sought after both in the industry and by fans everywhere.
Rockstar! Heeseung is also off the market and pathetically shameless about it
Rockstar Boyfriend! Heeseung has been dating you since before his debut
He boasts about you every chance he gets to whoever will listen, his fans, interviewers, hell even the paparazzi that follow him everywhere.
"Heeseung! You did so well today, the energy was insane!"
"Ah, Thank you thank you. My girlfriend was in the crowd with you guys, so you know I had to make it memorable."
"Fans are dying to know what the inspiration behind this album is! Your new album blew straight to the top of the charts upon release and it truly is a masterpiece. So what's the story behind it?"
"Ah, Thank you so much, truly. My girlfriend actually was a big inspiration behind this album-"
"Heeseung! Heeseung! Where are you headed after the show tonight!?"
"I'm going to my girlfriend's!"
His fans (like anyone) know about you and actually find your relationship sooo cute. Often at his shows and fan meets, his fans will actually be the first to bring you up.
"Heeseung, I made this for [name], could you give it to her next time you see her?"
"Of course, She'll love this actually!"
Being famous also means he earns money faster than he can spend it.
That being said he loves buying you stuff, whether you're with him or not.
He could be in a whole different country and he'll see something that he thinks you'd like or would look good on you or something stupid that just reminds him of you and he's already swiping his card.
"Heeseung, you don't have to, this is too expensive for me."
"Which is why I'm buying it, If you like it there's no reason you cant have it, angel"
You will be all over Heeseung's social media and even his YouTube channel, which his management runs.
Heeseungs personal social media is mostly edgy promotional stuff, but he likes posting pictures of you and him together.
His YouTube is primarily for behind-the-scenes chats. Behind-the-scenes photoshoots, music video shoots, and even concert performances.
And you're in majority of these videos because Heeseung tries to bring you literally everywhere with him if you're able to come with him
In an interview he'll gush about how nervous he is to shoot something because you'll be watching from behind the cameras
"You look amazing in this collection. What do you think?"
"Thank you, but I think [name] would look 100 times better in this collection than I do!"
And the editors will add a little note like "Gushing about his girlfriend, [name]"
Hee[name]luvr23: editors thought we were new lol
User27578: if you don't know [name] then do you even know who Heeseung is LMAO
You appear so often that you'll even get your own little interview segment.
"What are my thoughts on today's shoot? I think Heeseung does everything well, his expressions and stage presence is always so intricate. He couldn't possibly mess anything up today, he looks great."
You basically gain your own fanbase from Heeseung without doing anything
Like you have fan accounts and everything Heeseung eats up those edits of you
Backstage moments at concerts are also not free from Heeseung's constant talk about you, cameras present or not.
"Everything's ready for you, we're just waiting to start. Are you ready?"
"Yeah, definitely. Oh by the way, [name] picked out my outfit for tonight. She said it would make me look more rockstar-like. What do we think?"
"Well, she's not wrong."
HeeHee1015: EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU [NAME], GOOD LOOORRDDD
[name]'slovebot: just put [name] on his styling team already HE LOOKS SO GOOD OMFGFDSHWAKJ
Heeseung, being the music prodigy he is, spends a lot of time in the studio with his producer. His music is a hypnotic blend of dark sultry beats and atmospheric melodies that pull his listeners into a world of sensuality and introspection.
His sound is smooth yet edgy, weaving elements of R&B and synth-pop to create tracks exploring themes of love, desire, and inner conflict.
His lyrics cut deep. Filled with vulnerability, seduction, and desire also WHINY ASS HELL.
So what's this cheesy pop boy band love song doing in there?
While a lot of his songs are about you and follow that dark and sultry vibe, he does like to explore other genres of music and make something that's just special for you.
His producers know good and well why there's songs like that sprinkled in his edgy discography.
But that doesn't stop them from asking just to give him a hard time.
"This one really stands out from the other tracks. What's the story here?"
"Oh, it's uh... you know, for [name]. Just felt like I had to sneak it in there. She's on my mind all the time so it only makes sense."
like it's okay we can all see you blushing behind that mic no need to be shy
He also LOVES to sample voicemails and voice messages you send him, he also asks you to come into the studio to record adlibs and/or to be on background vocals.
He thinks your voice is heavenly someone save him
---
Heeseung is hunched in front of his computer in his studio late at night, working on a new track for his album. Your voice plays through his headphones as he's tweaking it to fit into the intro to his song. He's oblivious to your knocks on the door.
You peek through the door and spot your boyfriend, repeatedly clicking his mouse as he works and resting his chin on the palm of his hand. You smile softly and step into the room, shutting the door behind you.
"Boo." You say, slipping heeseungs headphones off his ears. He jumps slightly before smiling and swiveling his chair around towards you.
"Hey, is this my voice?" You ask furrowing your eyebrows as you hear the song blasting from his headphones.
He only grins and pulls you to sit in his lap, "Come listen," You pull the headphones over your ears as Heeseung lets the track play from the beginning. Sure enough, your voice is being played in the intro of his song, muffled because its an old voicemail you had left him, however long ago you dont remember.
"You're really out here sampling anything into your songs." You playfully roll your eyes and slip the headphones off your head and place them on his desk.
"Hey, its not just anything. Your voice totally fits the vibe of this song. And it makes the song more..." He trails off trying to find the right words, while you run your fingers through his hair. It's already tousled and messy from the amount of times he's run his own hands through it. "...more personal. It makes it feel more intimate and real."
"mmm, really?" You hum, a finger trailing from his temple down to trace his jaw. The way Heeseung always weaves pieces of you into his music makes your heart flutter and your heart race.
Heeseung's arms tighten around your waist, trying to bring you impossibly closer. His lips purse into a line as he looks at you with star-filled eyes, something he does when he wants something.
"Hey, I was thinking, actually... could you record a few lines for the backtrack. And maybe you could hum like you just did." He sounds almost breathless when he says the last part, he doesn't mean too but you're so close to him and you look so gorgeous.
"you're ridiculous," You playfully roll your eyes, resting your hands on his shoulders. "It's almost 3 in the morning, Hee. You should go to bed and come back to this tomorrow."
Heeseung is a simple and weak man so who is he to protest. "Okay, how about a kiss in the meantime then?"
---
His friends, love you to death like that's gang, but Jesus Christ if they hear one more thing from Heeseung about you then you're gonna be out of a boyfriend.
Jay: Remember that after party in Tokyo?
Heeseung: Oh yeah, I remember before that [name] and I got lost trying to find this ramen house and ended up walking around the whole city before we found it.
Sunghoon: Bro, we were talking about the party.
Like I said before, Heeseung tries to bring you everywhere.
He gets so excited when he brings you as a plus one to red-carpet events and gets to match outfits with you
Will just about die if you try to step away from him, so reporters can take photos of him.
"What are you doing all the way back there??"
"I'm just giving you space so they can't take photos of you, Hee"
"But I want you up here with me."
pouty and utterly pathetic
and also captured on camera because fans go crazy over Heeseung pouting over you even being 2 steps away from him. Like okay, my turn when?
Your #1 hype boy
Always redirects attention to you when you guys are interviewed at these events
and you're a bit embarrassed because like?? YOU'RE the plus one, HE was invited here lmfao
"Heeseung! You look so good tonight. Who's you're date!?"
"My girlfriend, [name] We're matching tonight but I think she definitely pulls this look off better than me!"
Then he makes you twirl for the camera and the camera will zoom out to show both of you and Heeseungs eyes are GLUED to you and everyone can see the love and adoration in his eyes.
Also super attentive during these events and also when you're out in public with him in general
"Are you good? Are you ready for all of this?"
"Is this okay with you?"
"Let me know if you're uncomfortable, okay?"
"Just say the word and I'll take you home, angel."
Atp I think he's more eager to go home than you are.
If you thought he couldn't be more affectionate than he already is well, [loud incorrect buzzer]
While Heeseung likes to brag and gush about you in public, he tries to keep the PDA minimal.
Behind closed doors is a different story though, good luck lol.
Will be all over you, he'll follow you around the apartment and latch onto you like you'll disappear into thin air
After Heeseungs had a particularly long day, which is pretty much every day with flying to another country and back on some days and having dragging schedules on others, All he wants to do is come home and laze around with his girlfriend
His favorite thing is laying in bed with you at night, whether your both scrolling on your phones, talking, or something else.
He likes that you both can enjoy each other's company without having to do or say anything.
He likes being able to lay on you most of the time, but he's definitely not complaining when you're the one practically lying on top of him.
Sometimes when you fall asleep before him, he'll go live to talk to his fans for a few minutes and he likes to sneakily pan the camera down to his chest where your fast asleep.
No particular reason he just thinks you look cute and likes to flex that he has the most gorgeous girl on the planet lying in bed with him.
[name]luvr: SHES SO CUTIE OMFG
user6738: Heeseung can you gtfo of the way, I'm trying to admire your gf
lowkey fights with his fans over you (all jokes ofc)
"Heeseung will you let [name] know that I saved 100 kittens from a fire today and drove them to new homes in my lambo (I'm 6'2 btw).. okay well I saved 200 kittens, now what?"
"are you 6'2 tho, do not ever let me catch you in the streets br- ow!"
"You're being too loud, Hee"
There must be something in the morning air because he is crazy.
The morning sun filters through the curtains of your apartment. You and Heeseung are still in bed, no plans for the day. You're awake just teetering the edge of sleep and being fully awake
"Do you want anything for breakfast? I could make something"
The thought of you leaving him and the warmth of your bed right now just about kills him because he hugs you closer to his body and buries his face in your neck
"I'd rather just have you right here."
Oh!
"Wow, smooth talker." You playfully roll your eyes
"Only for you."

I’ve read a few of the umpteen thousand upset comments about the paid Watcher service, and I’ve read comments angry about the upset comments. There’s one thing I want to point out, and it’s that this isn’t, or shouldn’t be, “You’re saying people don’t deserve to earn money for their work.”
The Watcher guys do deserve to earn money. I already give them money. I give them $5 a month on Patreon, not because I think they do or don’t give me $5 worth of media, but because I want to support them. I canceled Netflix for pissing me off with its price hike/ad tier, but I give Watcher Entertainment money.
They’re saying now that the Patreon will be solely about the podcasts, and they understand if people leave. I’m perfectly happy to switch the support I can afford to the streaming service. With the early adopter 30% discount, I’d actually save money. In fact, I tried to subscribe, but the site didn’t work.
Watcher wanting to profit from their shows isn’t the problem. It’s that they’re now discovering that their fanbase is young and broke in a terrible economy, judging by tens of thousands of comments on multiple platforms. I can throw them $5/month, so I do. But the Patreon only has (checks notes) 5874 paying followers, and there’s a reason for that. $60/year upfront would not be “accessible.” Patreon is literally patronage from the people who can afford it.
If the guys had said up front, “ONLY new shows and episodes will be exclusive to the service,” I think we’d be having a different conversation right now. But at first they did say, “We’re pulling all our content from YouTube,” to the point where Variety had to issue an update. Like, that’s in print and I’m pretty sure it was on video. Now they’ve backtracked to ONLY new etc.—but most people haven’t heard, and they feel crushed. And the trust is probably gone regardless.
So now four years of back catalogue will stay public. And now, you’re paying $6.99 a month for one episode, maybe two, of something a week, and now, not an exclusive back catalogue. I would pay for Watcher shows before I’d pay for anyone else, but I just don’t think the company is big enough yet for a SVOD at that price. They’re not Dropout size. They needed to build more programming and get a higher follower count first, or at the very least, charge less.
The international price/exchange rate situation is a nightmare and I don’t know what it is they’re not doing to make it… not… be like that.
I don’t know what they should have done instead of a full streaming service, but surely there were alternatives? I’ve seen comments from people suggesting they GET a Patreon. Lean on that more! Do the shows exclusive for a month and then let them roll onto YouTube! I don’t know! Anything but One More Fucking Streaming Service, which enraged me, and I was willing to move my support to it!
And I shouldn’t say this, but I will. In the “Goodbye YouTube” video the guys posted, they say that setting up the streaming service has allowed Steven to do a remake of Worth It where he and his cohosts travel the world and eat expensive food. This is the first new show they announce. Not “We have always been committed to diversity and we’re now able to bring on new creator(s) to expand our programming.” No, a redo of an old show that by definition has got to be expensive. Commenters are saying they can’t pay for the streaming service because they can’t make ends meet in this economy. The optics are terrible. I genuinely question what the thought process even was here.
I love the guys and I still watch their shows. I want to see Watcher succeed. I started watching Buzzfeed Unsolved in 2018 while recovering from surgery—as with a lot of people, their shows got me through a tough time. I’m as attached as anyone. If I can continue to afford monthly support—this is not a certainty—I’ll give it to them. I’m not a ~hater who doesn’t want Watcher to make money. But I am absolutely BAFFLED by every single decision here. I want them to figure out how to turn this around and go in a better direction, because right now, this ain’t it.
