How to Grow Your Social Media Presence with Pak Followers 

In today’s digital age, social media panels has become a powerful tool for personal branding and business growth. One crucial aspect of thriving on social media is building a substantial and engaged following. For those targeting audiences in Pakistan, understanding how to effectively grow your Pak followers can make a significant difference. This blog will explore strategies, tips, and insights into attracting and retaining Pak followers to boost your social media presence. 

Understanding Your Audience 

Before diving into tactics for growing Pak followers, it’s essential to understand your target audience. Pakistan is a diverse country with a rich cultural heritage. The preferences and behaviors of Pak followers can vary widely based on factors such as age, location, and interests. Conducting thorough research into the demographic details of your potential followers will help tailor your content to resonate with them. 

Crafting Culturally Relevant Content 

One of the most effective ways to attract Pak followers is by creating content that reflects their cultural values and interests. Pakistan has a vibrant culture with deep-rooted traditions, and incorporating these elements into your content can create a strong connection with your audience. For instance, posting about local festivals, traditional cuisine, or popular trends can engage Pak followers and make your profile more appealing. 

Utilizing Local Trends and Hashtags 

Staying updated with local trends is crucial for engaging Pak followers. Social media trends in Pakistan often reflect global phenomena but with a local twist. By integrating popular Pakistani hashtags into your posts, you increase the chances of reaching a broader audience. Research trending hashtags and include them strategically in your content to attract more Pak followers. 

Engaging with Your Audience 

Building a following isn’t just about posting content; it’s also about engaging with your audience. Responding to comments, participating in discussions, and acknowledging your followers’ contributions can foster a sense of community. For Pak followers, engaging in local conversations and showing genuine interest in their opinions can strengthen your connection and encourage loyalty. 

Collaborating with Influencers 

Partnering with influencers who have a substantial following among Pak followers can be a game-changer. Influencers have established trust and rapport with their audience, and their endorsement can introduce your profile to a wider network. Collaborate with Pakistani influencers whose values align with your brand to enhance your credibility and attract their followers to your profile. 

Running Targeted Ads 

Social media platforms offer robust advertising tools that can help you reach specific demographics. Running targeted ads focused on Pakistani users can effectively boost your visibility among Pak followers. By defining your audience based on factors like location, interests, and behavior, you can create ads that resonate with potential followers in Pakistan. 

Showcasing Local Success Stories 

Highlighting success stories and achievements related to Pakistan can resonate well with Pak followers. Whether it’s showcasing local entrepreneurs, celebrating community milestones, or featuring success stories from within Pakistan, such content can build a positive association with your brand and attract more followers from the region. 

Offering Value Through Content 

Providing valuable content is key to attracting and retaining smm Pak followers. Whether it’s educational posts, entertaining videos, or useful tips, offering content that adds value to your followers’ lives can help establish your profile as a trusted source. Consider what problems or interests your Pak followers might have and create content that addresses those needs. 

Optimizing Your Profile 

A well-optimized social media profile can make a significant difference in attracting Pak followers. Ensure that your profile picture, bio, and cover photo reflect your brand’s identity and appeal to Pakistani users. A clear and engaging profile description, along with relevant keywords, can improve your profile’s visibility in search results. 

Analyzing and Adapting Strategies 

To effectively grow your Pak followers, regularly analyzing your social media performance is crucial. Use analytics tools to track engagement rates, follower growth, and content performance. Based on these insights, adapt your strategies to improve what works and refine what doesn’t. Staying flexible and responsive to your audience’s preferences will help you maintain a strong following. 

Building a community 

Creating a sense of community around your brand can significantly impact your ability to attract and retain Pak followers. Host live sessions, create interactive polls, or start conversations that invite your followers to share their opinions. Building a community where Pak followers feel valued and heard can lead to higher engagement and loyalty. 

Leveraging User-Generated Content 

Encouraging your Pak followers to create and share content related to your brand can boost your visibility and credibility. User-generated content often resonates more with potential followers as it comes from genuine users rather than a brand. Run contests or campaigns that prompt your followers to share their experiences with your brand and feature their content on your profile. 

Maintaining Consistency 

Consistency is key in social media growth. Regularly posting content, engaging with your audience, and maintaining a consistent brand voice helps in building trust and retaining Pak followers. Develop a content calendar to plan your posts and ensure that you stay active and relevant in your followers’ feeds. 

Adapting to Platform-Specific Trends 

Different social media platforms have unique features and trends. Understanding these platform-specific trends can help you tailor your approach for attracting Pak followers on each platform. For example, Instagram’s visual-centric approach might require more engaging images and stories, while Twitter’s fast-paced environment might benefit from timely and concise updates. 

Fostering Authentic Relationships 

Authenticity plays a crucial role in social media success. Building genuine relationships with your Pak followers requires being transparent and honest in your interactions. Share behind-the-scenes content, be open about your brand’s values, and maintain a relatable tone in your posts to foster authentic connections. 

Encouraging Word-of-Mouth Referrals 

Satisfied Pak followers can become your brand’s advocates. Encourage them to spread the word about your profile to their networks. Offer incentives for referrals or create shareable content that your followers would want to pass along. Positive word-of-mouth can significantly boost your visibility and attract new Pakistan smm followers. 

Tracking Industry Developments 

Stay informed about developments in social media and your industry. Emerging trends, algorithm changes, and new features can impact your strategy for growing Pak followers. By staying updated and adapting to these changes, you can maintain a competitive edge and continue to attract and engage your target audience effectively. 

Conclusion 

Growing your social media presence with Pak followers requires a strategic and informed approach. By understanding your audience, creating culturally relevant content, engaging authentically, and leveraging various tools and strategies, you can build a strong following in Pakistan. Embrace the diversity and richness of Pakistani culture, and tailor your efforts to meet the preferences of your audience. With dedication and consistency, you’ll see your social media presence flourish and attract a loyal base of Pak followers.

Taught Newt how to bolt for his carrier in an emergency where just seeing me running with the carrier is a cue to hop in it!

Trying to gradually build up to me being more panicked, currently have a medium pace, pretending I can't find him// completely avoiding looking at him, and having the carrier at varying angles when he enters it.

Love the trope of "Snufkin coming back late to the valley and Moomin attentively waiting for him" that Moominsummer Madness and the adaptations inspired by that aspect of that story have given us in the Moomin community, but I do feel sad that because of its popularity and the interpretation of this 'cold/tsundere Snufkin' who's aloof and off doing his own thing that so many people accept from that and The Spring Tune, so few explore the alternative.

The year that Snufkin arrives early, and the Moomins aren't awake yet. There's so much opportunity there! So many different ways it could go!

Does he set up his tent and wait? Go and spend the last few days with Too-Ticky? Let himself in to Moominhouse and go to sleep in his bed? (Drives me crazy that non-book readers have no way of knowing that pre-Finn Family Moomintroll he hibernated WITH the Moomins and he HAS A BED IN MOOMIN'S ROOM for when it's too cold or dangerous out for the tent. Grrr biting chewing gnawing) Does he quietly start prepping the house for when they do wake so that their spring workload is reduced? Does he wake Moomin up himself?

There are ways that all those events could make sense for his character, and I want to see themmm T-T

But wasn't Amadeus against Bruce Banner dismantling the government? Namor was the one that was completely behind Banner's anti capitalist crusade.

amadeus doesnt like the government and its p ooc if he isnt outwardly against it. Like in incredible Hercules he took down shield and the only reason he didnt keep them down was because herc was like if you do this you'll be a villain. during the illuminati shit he criticized the government to sue storms face. If this is about immortal hulk I honestly respect his reasoning I dont trust a white middle class man to lead the revolution or dismantle the government. especially not bruce banner. amadeus loves the hulk but he also knows the hulk.

"When bloodstream infections set in, fast treatment is crucial — but it can take several days to identify the bacteria responsible. A new, rapid-diagnosis sepsis test could cut down on the wait, reducing testing time from as much as a few days to about 13 hours by cutting out a lengthy blood culturing step, researchers report July 24 [2024] in Nature.

“They are pushing the limits of rapid diagnostics for bloodstream infections,” says Pak Kin Wong, a biomedical engineer at Penn State who was not involved in the research. “They are driving toward a direction that will dramatically improve the clinical management of bloodstream infections and sepsis.”

Sepsis — an immune system overreaction to an infection — is a life-threatening condition that strikes nearly 2 million people per year in the United States, killing more than 250,000 (SN: 5/18/08). The condition can also progress to septic shock, a steep drop in blood pressure that damages the kidneys, lungs, liver and other organs. It can be caused by a broad range of different bacteria, making species identification key for personalized treatment of each patient.

In conventional sepsis testing, the blood collected from the patient must first go through a daylong blood culturing step to grow more bacteria for detection. The sample then goes through a second culture for purification before undergoing testing to find the best treatment. During the two to three days required for testing, patients are placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics — a blunt tool designed to stave off a mystery infection that’s better treated by targeted antibiotics after figuring out the specific bacteria causing the infection.

Nanoengineer Tae Hyun Kim and colleagues found a way around the initial 24-hour blood culture.

The workaround starts by injecting a blood sample with nanoparticles decorated with a peptide designed to bind to a wide range of blood-borne pathogens. Magnets then pull out the nanoparticles, and the bound pathogens come with them. Those bacteria are sent directly to the pure culture. Thanks to this binding and sorting process, the bacteria can grow faster without extraneous components in the sample, like blood cells and the previously given broad-spectrum antibiotics, says Kim, of Seoul National University in South Korea.

Cutting out the initial blood culturing step also relies on a new imaging algorithm, Kim says. To test bacteria’s susceptibility to antibiotics, both are placed in the same environment, and scientists observe if and how the antibiotics stunt the bacteria’s growth or kill them. The team’s image detection algorithm can detect subtler changes than the human eye can. So it can identify the species and antibiotic susceptibility with far fewer bacteria cells than the conventional method, thereby reducing the need for long culture times to produce larger colonies.

Though the new method shows promise, Wong says, any new test carries a risk of false negatives, missing bacteria that are actually present in the bloodstream. That in turn can lead to not treating an active infection, and “undertreatment of bloodstream infection can be fatal,” he says. “While the classical blood culture technique is extremely slow, it is very effective in avoiding false negatives.”

Following their laboratory-based experiments, Kim and colleagues tested their new method clinically, running it in parallel with conventional sepsis testing on 190 hospital patients with suspected infections. The testing obtained a 100 percent match on correct bacterial species identification, the team reports. Though more clinical tests are needed, these accuracy results are encouraging so far, Kim says.

The team is continuing to refine their design in hopes of developing a fully automated sepsis blood test that can quickly produce results, even when hospital laboratories are closed overnight. “We really wanted to commercialize this and really make it happen so that we could make impacts to the patients,” Kim says."

Why We Can't Have Medieval Food

I noted in a previous post that I'd "expand on my thinking on efforts to reproduce period food and how we’re just never going to know if we have it right or not." Well, now I have 2am sleep?-never-heard-of-it insomnia, so let's go.

At the fundamental level, this is the idea that you can't step in the same river twice. You can put your foot down at the same point in space, and it'll go into water, but that's different water, and the bed of the river has inevitably changed, even a little, from the last time you did so.

Our ingredients have changed. This is not just because we can't get the fat from fat-tailed sheep in Ireland, or silphium at all anywhere, although both of those are true. But the aubergine you buy today is markedly different to the aubergine that was available even 40 years ago. You no longer need to salt aubergine slices and draw out the bitter fluids, which was necessary for pretty much all of the thing's existence before (except in those cultures that liked the bitter taste). The bitterness has been bred out of them. And the old bitter aubergine is gone. Possibly there are a few plants of it preserved in some archive garden, or a seed bank, or something, but I can't get to those.

We don't really have a good idea of the plant called worts in medieval English recipes. I mean, we know (or we're fairly sure) it was brassica oleracea. But that one species has cultivars as distinct as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan (list swiped from Wikipedia). And even within "cabbage" or "kale", you have literally dozens of varieties. If you plant the seeds from a brassica, unless you've been moderately careful with pollination, you won't get the same plant as the seeds are from. You can crossbreed brassicas just by planting them near each other and letting them flower. And of course there is no way to determine what varietal any medieval village had, a very high likelihood that it was different to the village next door, and an exceedingly high chance that that varietal no longer exists. Further, it only ever existed for a few tens of years - before it went on cross-breeding into something different. So our access to medieval worts (or indeed, cabbage, kale, etc) is just non-existant.

Some other species within the brassica genus are as varied. Brassica rapa includes oilseed rape, field mustard, turnip, Chinese cabbage, and pak choi.

We have an off-chance, as it happens, of getting almost the same kind of apple as some medieval varieties, because apples can only be reproduced for orchard use by grafting, which is essentially cloning. Identification through paintings, DNA analysis, and archaeobotany sometimes let us pin down exactly which apple was there. But the conditions under which we grow those apples are probably not the same as the medieval orchard. Were they thinned? When were they harvested? How were they stored? And apples are pretty much the best case.

Medieval wheat was practically a different plant. It was far pickier about where it would grow, and frequently produced 2-4 grains per stalk. A really good year had 6-8. In modern conditions, any wheat variety with less than 30 grains per stalk would be considered a flop.

Meats are worse. Selective breeding in the last century has absolutely and completely changed every single species of livestock, and if you follow that back another five centuries, some of them would be almost unrecognisable. Even our heritage breeds are mostly only about 200 years old.

Cheese, well. Cheese is dependent on very specific bacteria, and there are plenty of conditions where the resulting cheese is different depending on whether it was stored at the back or front of the cave. Yogurts, quarks, skyrs, etc, are also live cultures, and almost certainly vary massively. (I have a theory about British cheese here, too, which I'll expand on in a future post)

So, even before you go near the different cooking conditions (wood, burnables like camel and cow dung, smoke, the material and condition of cooking pots), we just can't say with any reliability that the food we're making now is anything like medieval people produced from the same recipe. We can't even say that with much reliability over a century.

Under very controlled conditions, you could make an argument for very specific dishes. If you track down a wild mountain sheep in Afghanistan, and use water from a local spring, and salt from some local salt mine, then you can make a case that you can produce something fairly close to the original ma wa milh, the water-and-salt stew that forms the most basic dish in Arabic cookery. But once you start introducing domestic livestock, vegetables, or even water from newer wells, you're now adrift.

It is possible that some dishes taste exactly the same, by coincidence. But we can't determine that. We can't compare the taste of a dish from five years ago, let alone five hundred, because we're only just getting to a state where we can "record" a taste accurately. Otherwise it's memory and chance.

We've got to be at peace with this. We can put in the best efforts we can, and produce things that are, in spirit, like the medieval dishes we're reading about. But that's as good as it gets.

BG3 Photomode Tutorial #2.5: More Scene Manipulation

Chapter 0: Overview

Chapter 1: Script Extender Debug Console

Chapter 2: Scene Manipulation

Chapter 2.5: More Scene Manipulation

Chapter 3: Otis_Inf Camera Tools

Supplement: Mods and Resources

In continuing from the last tutorial, I wanted to talk about how you find and play cutscenes. There's a couple ways to do this but I will show you my way because I think it is the most thorough way if you need to figure out what flags you may need to edit in order to get this working. It'll also give you the tools you need to troubleshoot flag settings.

In the above screenshot, you can see a cutscene that is meant to be played in the Shadowcursed lands: The cutscene where you play the Lyre to summon Kar'niss. It is a complex scene with tags to resolve and multiple NPCs - some of which aren't humanoid.

I will show you how to find a scene based on a snippet of dialog, how to locate its name and UUID so you can plug it into this command:

Osi.QRY_StartDialogCustom_Fixed("SCL_Drider_Caravan_HalfOrcCaster_865adfae-1b72-1ed2-f961-d55abd4fb7b1","S_GOB_DrowCommander_25721313-0c15-4935-8176-9f134385451b",Osi.DB_Avatars:Get(nil)[1][1],"S_Player_Gale_ad9af97d-75da-406a-ae13-7071c563f604","S_Player_Astarion_c7c13742-bacd-460a-8f65-f864fe41f255", 1,1,-1,1)

Warning: Please keep in mind, this is still a very finicky process. Again, take it slowly. And please don't be afraid to ask for help if you're struggling. Once you get the hang of it, you can pull out scenes and troubleshoot them into playing with ease.

There's also a good chance I'm glossing over something and not explaining it clearly/accurately. Please send me an ask, DM, comment to clarify anything that's confusing!

BG3 Dialog Reader

In order to do this my way, you'll need to download BG3 Dialog Reader and generate HTML files that include all the dialog of the game. There's already a very lovely tutorial on how to do this, so I recommend you follow it. EDIT: Or download their parsed files from their Google Drive: BG3 - parsed dialogue (1.7).zip

You've probably seen posts in this format before:

So you should now have HTML files located somewhere on your system. You need to search for a line that you'll find in the cutscene you want. Now you need to ask yourself: What line can I search for that is unique to that cutscene so that if I search for it I will get exactly what I'm looking for?

In the Drider-Lyre scene I recall an NPC asking "Did you bring the lyre?" so that's what I searched for. I use the Everything search tool because it's awesome and search for the file like so:

You will need to take a look at this file later, but for now, just take note of the name: SCL_Drider_Caravan_HalfOrcCaster. This is the first half of what you need to complete the first parameter in the command at the beginning. And we are going to use this to find the UUID.

Finding the UUID

To find the UUID, you're going to need another tool. The BG3 Modder's Multitool. Go to their GitHub, look along the right column and click on the link in the Releases section.

After that, click on bg3-modders-multitool.zip to download it. Extract the files to a new folder somewhere handy and run bg3-modders-multitool.exe.

In BG3 Modder's Multitool, click on Configuration and set the bg3.exe location to your Baldur's Gate 3 executable (E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin or something along those lines). The Documents folder should auto-populate but you may want to double check it.

Now click in Search Index. It's going to start a process where it searches through the BG3 files. This can take a while the first time, but will be instant after that.

Once it's complete, you can now take the name of the scene and pop it into the new Index Search window that popped up.

In the results on the left, there will be a lot of files that list it, but I generally look for ones that say Assets\Dialogs\[PAK] and end in _merged.lsf and click on it. Then click Convert & Open.

This should open in Notepad or Notepad++. Now search this file for "SCL_Drider_Caravan_HalfOrcCaster" - keep in mind there can be MULTIPLE results. Note that the first instance you will get is SCL_Drider_Caravan_HalfOrcCaster_AtTower. This is the wrong scene.

You are now looking in the code a couple lines above that string for a value that is an ID type and has a value that's a lot of letters and numbers. This is the UUID.

So you have what you need to create this first parameter. Combine SCL_Drider_Caravan_HalfOrcCaster with the string of letters and numbers separated by an underscore. Like so:

SCL_Drider_Caravan_HalfOrcCaster_865adfae-1b72-1ed2-f961-d55abd4fb7b1

Plugging into the StartDialogCustom Command

Note that this copies straight in to this command in the first parameter:

Osi.QRY_StartDialogCustom_Fixed("SCL_Drider_Caravan_HalfOrcCaster_865adfae-1b72-1ed2-f961-d55abd4fb7b1", "S_GOB_DrowCommander_25721313-0c15-4935-8176-9f134385451b", Osi.DB_Avatars:Get(nil)[1][1], "S_Player_Gale_ad9af97d-75da-406a-ae13-7071c563f604", "S_Player_Astarion_c7c13742-bacd-460a-8f65-f864fe41f255" ,1,1,-1,1)

Now on first glance this looks pretty much like other times I've shown you this command, except note that there's FOUR actors. When a cutscene doesn't play at first (after double checking the UUID), this is very often the reason why. This is the minimum because the roles for the half-orc and Karniss need to be filled. First position is Kansif the Half-Orc, second is Tav, third is Brawler Vez, and fourth is Kar'niss.

Note: Kar'niss CAN be played by a non-Drider NPC - they will float angrily around carrying the lantern. It's hilarious. Try it. Here's when I tried it with my Tav:

Setting and Clearing Flags

Now. Depending on where and when you play this scene, the scene may or may not play or it will quit early. There could be a few reasons for that. The UUID could be wrong, the number of actors could be wrong, or a flag could be set that's not supposed to be set.

Let's have a look at the BG3 Dialog Reader file for this scene to see what flags are in use.

By default you should be able to see checkflags (blue) and setflags (orange). Look at the top of the page for a reminder of what the colors mean. The blue check flags are checking to see if the flag is set or not. If SCL_Drider_HasMet_CaravanFirstTime = False then you have met the drider caravan yet and this line will play. You will notice that after that is the orange SCL_Drider_HasMet_CaravanFirstTime setflag. That means the game will NOW set the flag as you have now met the Caravan for the first time. There may be occasions where you need to change the flags to get a cutscene to play. Here's the good news: There's handy commands for that!

print(GetFlag("flag",Osi.DB_Avatars:Get(nil)[1][1]))

Osi.ClearFlag("flag", Osi.DB_Avatars:Get(nil)[1][1])

Osi.SetFlag("flag",Osi.DB_Avatars:Get(nil)[1][1])

The bad news is you will have to find the UUID for each flag! So we gotta go back into BG3 Modders Multitool and search for the flag SCL_Drider_HasMet_CaravanFirstTime

Thankfully, you'll only get one result and the big string of letters and numbers is the UUID you need.

Now you combine them like you did with the cutscene name and UUID before, separated by an underscore: SCL_Drider_HasMet_CaravanFirstTime_39e94029-84f7-418d-ddce-8947bcbb7688

So let's say the cutscene isn't playing because you're on a save where that scene has already played. Clear the flag on your Tav: Osi.ClearFlag("SCL_Drider_HasMet_CaravanFirstTime_39e94029-84f7-418d-ddce-8947bcbb76", Osi.DB_Avatars:Get(nil)[1][1])

And I think we will leave it at that. I realize this was a LOT to cover. Go through this very slowly. It will take time to understand what is happening here.

And as always, if you have something you're trying to do and you're struggling with the directions, I can try to help! Please send me a DM, Ask, whatever else and I'll gladly help you with whatever you're trying to do.

Thanks for reading and sticking through this so far!

gale's astral sea scene / act 2 romance scene bug fix (low-res body textures)

if you've been playing gale's act 2 romance scene and picked the astral sea version of the scene, you've likely encountered the low-res body texture bug that affects both gale and the protag.

the bug has been around for more than half a year now. it causes the body textures to be extremely low-res, while the face and hair textures are hi-res, resulting in an experience that takes you out of what is otherwise a wonderful scene:

here's how you fix it

get the following three mods from nexus and install them via vortex or bg3mm:

trips' old shader compendium

player and npc - old shaders (both part 1 and part 2 either as a pak file or loose file)

companions - old shaders (both part 1 and part 2 either as a pak or loose files)

be sure to elevate and deploy the mods before running the game if you are using vortex!

if you did it right, the astral sea scene should again look like it used to many months ago:

superman: the secret years - it’s a more old comics, but still great. revolves around clark’s college years;

superman: kryptonite - clark’s first encounter with kryptonite;

action comics by greg pak - it’s during the new 52 era. you can skip the unnecessary crossovers and just read his individual arcs - “action comics (2011) #25 - 29, 35 - 40”);

superman: man of tomorrow - hero of metropolis - low stakes. slice of life. great vibes. great way to get introduced to a few superman villains;

superman by kurt busiek and geoff johns. reading guide here;

the warworld saga by phillip kennedy johnson. my favourite superman story ever;

superman smashes the klan. it’s a great story.

if you want to read superman comics chronologically, here you can find great starting points.

it’s a bit more complicated with lois because she is a second main character for a lot of clark’s stories, but doesn’t have her own titles very often (which is a shame because she’s great!). you’d get a pretty good idea of who she is from the superman recs, but during 2019, greg rucka wrote a comic with her as the main character - “lois lane (2019)” so i’d recommend checking that out. you can also check “supermans’s pal jimmy olsen (2019)” as well. it doesn’t have lois, but it has jimmy and he’s pretty cool.

note: both kon-el and john henry irons debuted during “reign of the superman” storyline.

as for kon, i haven’t read much of his comics, but he had a solo in the 90s and he’s a prominent member of the young justice comics so i’d recommend checking “superboy (1994)” and “young justice (1998)”. he also had a mini recently - “superboy: the man of tomorrow”.

as for john and nat, john also had an ongoing in the 90s - “steel (1994)”. nat was a main character during “52”. not sure if i’d recommend her story in that one though. but you can check it out and see if you like it. after that, she was in “infinity inc. (2007)” which is a follow up to her 52 storyline and again, not sure how much i recommend it. as far as i know, nat was also in the titans for a bit - “titans (2016) #23 - 36”. i’m yet to read it though so i’m not sure if it’s good. recently, there was a miniseries called “steelworks (2023)” and it was really good. both john and nat are main characters.

lana, same as lois, unfortunately doesn’t have that many solos. she was great during greg pak’s action comics run. and she had a solo during rebirth - “superwoman (2016)” that heavily featured john henry as well.

kenan debuted during the rebirth era and had a solo - “new super-man (2016)” and that’s pretty much it. he also had a two-part back up story in action comics #1058 - 1059 that explained how he joined the family.

as for lois and clark’s kids (that aren’t jon), you’ll find out more about chris during kurt busiek and geoff johns’ era and more about otho and osul during the warworld saga.

that’s all i’ve got. there are more superfamily members, but those are the once i feel confident giving recs for.

Here's Veen, my irken oc!!!

Veen is a feminine irken who is around Zim's height and has uneven teeth. She works as a surgeon, and her PAK color, white, indicates that she is of the medical class (headcanon by deviantart user FaithFirefly).

She is confident with herself and her abilities, compassionate, and not exactly what you would call a rule follower- she lets her morals guide her. When put under enough pressure, she becomes a nervous wreck.

Despite her small stature, she is incredibly skilled at what she does and is valued highly. She got lucky to be in the position she's in.

She appeared to me in a dream a few days ago and I just HAD to make her real. Fun fact- she originally had jagged, sharp teeth in the dream and was a medical student, but I decided to tweak her a bit to fit in with the universe more.

Catatan Pelajaran dari Es Teh untuk Kita

Bercanda itu ada adabnya. Salah satunya adalah jangan sampai bercanda itu merendahkan orang lain apalagi sampai menyakiti hatinya. Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam juga terkadang bercanda. Tapi baginda Nabi tidak pernah berbohong atau membuat-membuat dengan tujuan sekedar agar orang lain tertawa, apalagi sampai merendahkan seseorang. Semoga kita selalu hati-hati dalam bercanda.

Menahan rasa sakit dan luka itu tidak mudah. Entah keikhlasan dan doa seperti apa yang Pak Penjual Es miliki sehingga Allah langsung mengangkat derajatnya. Kalau kita pernah atau sedang merasakannya, mari perbanyak doa. Salah satu privilege ketika berada di posisi itu adalah, doa punya peluang besar untuk diijabah dan kecil kemungkinan untuk tertolak. Kita berkhusnudzon bahwa ada unsur khilaf, lupa atau kurangnya ilmu di sana. Merasa kesal, memberi nasihat dan teguran itu boleh, asal jangan sampai berlebihan dalam mencela. Sulit memang jika yang di posisi itu adalah orang tua kita. Tapi kita masih punya pilihan untuk menjadi berbeda atau sama dengan orang yang suka mencela.

Itu pentingnya kita belajar melalui seorang guru. Berusahalah mencari dan berdoalah sepenuh hati. Agar Allah berkenan mempertemukan kita dengan guru yang tidak hanya berilmu, tapi juga meneladankan adab.

Beliau yang khilaf sudah minta maaf. Terlepas dari apakah itu murni atau pencitraan, kita tak bisa menilai niat seseorang. Itu adalah ranahnya Allah. Kita berkhusnudzon dan berdoa semoga itu benar-benar dilakukan dengan niat tulus. “Heeii, tapi itu kelihatan banget pencitraan dan cuci tangannya”.

Pun jika memang benar seperti itu, Allah pasti punya rencana lainnya untuk menegur dan mengingatkan lagi. Kita hanya melakukan sesuatu yang kita mampu dan Allah Ridha di situ. Jika seseorang tak juga berubah setelah banyaknya nasihat dan teguran, mungkin yang dia butuhkan bukan lagi itu, tapi doa-doa tulus dari lisan dan hati kita.

Kita sudah sama-sama tahu bahwa Pak Penjual Es Teh adalah orang yang menyambung hidup dari dagangannya tersebut. Sudah hidupnya berada di garis bawah dan tak mudah, ditambah dengan hati yang mungkin sedang terluka dan berdarah.

Tapi kita dapat hikmahnya. Bahwa di titik terendah mana pun kita, Allah Maha Kuasa untuk membalikkan keadaan dan menaikkannya. Jangan putus asa dari kasih sayangnya Allah, jangan berburuk sangka dengan rencananya Allah untuk kita. (c)Quraners

🌺

Yes indeed the Battle begins now ..

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖 💥

Presenting #Kalki2898ADTrailer to you all!

Birthday - EF - Dharmesh Kumar Patel .. Ef Chitra Sinha Tuesday, 11 June .. all our wishes for this day of birth in your lives from the Ef brigade .. love ❤️

Trying desperately to fix my phone .. and what was set before suddenly changed so tried to get help from all quarters and failed .. so frustrating ..

was wanting to have English and Hindi typing , by typing in English, a Hindi word and it comes out on Devnagri .. but despite several hours of following links and experiments , I am now very close to -

BREAKING MY PHONE , BY THROWING IT OUT OF THE WINDOW !!!!

😡

no no no .. no such luck .. just letting off steam ..

🤣

so been in the company of prospective script readings and hearing various ideas and thoughts , to decide what to do next after KALKI 2898 AD, and Section 84 IPC .. to fathom the conditions from market bhujjes भज es .. which in common parlance means the genius genies of the market condition personnel .. who guide and give inputs on their reckoning what is doing well, what the cinema going audiences are liking or not liking etc., ..

Agents , management experts and the lot who run their business es on a professional level and make a living ..

hmm ..

never ever had any of these facilities in my time .. we just looked for the opportunity of another job, so we could survive the condition of running the home .. and have a living ..

now it is different ..

the next generation thinks and operates in this manner ..

I just look for another job .. and hope it comes , so our 'kitchens can run'

... and have still not got over the victory yesterday of Ind v Pak game WCT20 ..

and coming to a conclusion that the pitch at Nassau Stadium in NYC is .. well .. different .. and the scoring an arduous task .. low scores and rather unrehearsed playing in difficult to read the bowler action, quality of the ground etc., ..

And before you shut me down by wondering why I am trying to pose as a cricket buff, my apologies ..

Its just what I keep hearing from the commentary box ..

And ... the commentary box .. !!!!!???

some other time .. 🤨

Love
