Anyone made modded heads for BG3 or even just used Blender before? I'm trying to modify Rhidyl's ears but I think most of what I've done is just obliterate the mesh😭

Warnings: none, König is afraid of women lol, pure fluff, König being all over you <3

Loser!Metalhead!König whom you met through a shared friend at the small party. It’s not even a party as such - about ten young people gathered with food and drinks, light music playing softly on the background as everyone chatted and laughed. Your eyes fell upon tall dark figure in the corner - a giant of a man was sitting silently, listening to a conversation his other two friends were having, adding to it time to time.

Loser!Metalhead!König who is silent, aloof and even intimidating, with his long hair and black band t-shirts with skulls and chains and scary looking letters. You think he doesn’t like you first time you approach him, just nodding curtly at whatever you have to say, occasionally giving the shortest, driest responses. But, strangely, you don’t feel any hostility coming from him, his presence open and welcoming, even despite his detached and even awkward demeanour.

Loser!Metalhead!König who actually freaks the fuck out when a pretty little thing like yourself comes up to talk to him. He’s struck, not knowing what to do or what to say, his fear of women, especially as gorgeous and beautiful as you, showing up on its fullest. Being more of a listener naturally he just lets you ramble his ear off, taking in your every word even if it looks like he doesn’t care much about what you have to say.

Loser!Metalhead!König who is drastically different from you. You, with your pretty pink crop top and baby blue jeans, white ribbons adorning your hair and glossed plump lips curving so gorgeously in a smile, are a complete opposite to König - huge burly body clad in all black and heavy chains, thick forearms and bulging biceps, thick eyebrows knitted together, a frown that seems to be permanent is tainting his sharp features.

Loser!Metalhead!König who can’t get you out of his head, memories of you flooding his brain for the next few weeks. You just struck him like lightning - your syrupy voice, gentle eyes gazing up at him as you told him some silly story from your childhood - in the dead of night König’s mind unmistakably wandered back to them, getting lost in your orbs all over again, broad chest filling with warm buzz.

Loser!Metalhead!König whom you meet weeks later in a city centre, accidentally running into him on your way back home from running errands. Your eyes light up upon recognising your new acquaintance, lips stretching in a wide smile and König feels as if all the air is being punched out of his chest. You greet him heartily, asking how he’s been and what he’s up to currently. And König, shocking himself even, grasps the opportunity, asking if you’d like to go grab some coffee because he’s dying for one right now (read as: I’m so painfully into you I’ll use any excuse to be around you). And you happily agree, leading him to that one coffee shop you love, which serves the most delicious chocolate cake he’ll ever have.

Loser!Metalhead!König who spends the rest of the day with you, first in the coffee shop and then going for a walk around the centre of Vienna, just talking about everything. Your bubbly and easygoing personality eases him out of his shell, making him talk more freely about his interests and hobbies, his chest tightening proudly upon seeing your amazed expression as he told you of his passion for playing guitars and drums, promising to teach you how to play a few chords in a future.

Loser!Metalhead!König who happily exchanges instas with you (his pictureless profile with 4 followers and name like kng69 lmao) scrolling in awe through all the photos you have there, littering your phone with repeated notifications of new like on your post. He’s sad when he notices the time, you telling him that you have to go home now, his ears perking up at your upset tone, meaning that you don’t want this day to end just as much as König does. He waits for your taxi to arrive, making sure you get in the right car, wishing you a safe ride home.

Loser!Metalhead!König who texts you on ig an hour later, asking if you got home safe. That message makes you smile stupidly at your phone as you reassure him that you’re all safe and sound at your place, adding that you enjoyed today and would like to meet up with König again someday. Now he’s the one grinning at his phone, pale blush dusting his high cheekbones as he lays sleepless in his bed, head full of buzzing thoughts and every single one of them is painfully full of you<3

A/n: might write part 2 of that, lmk if you’d like it🤭

tuesday again 5/28/2024

we are rapidly approaching the one-year anniversary of my ill-fated cross country move. i have changed from having a bad time in massachusetts to having a bad time in texas, but this time with my best friend's shoulder to cry on in real life. so an improvement i suppose

listening

i can't fucking believe this wasn't already in my driving playlist. thanks autogenerated spotify dance playlist

reading

the maltese falcon by dashiell hammett. i didn't really appreciate philip marlowe the-human-detective-not-my-cat's bisexual eye for interior design and outfits until i started reading this book. this passage really threw me with regards to shoes before pants in what i assume is a fairly normal suit and not a specific type of formalwear? i have a very specific blind fashion blind spot and that's pre-wwii menswear

this led to an absolutely VICIOUS argument with my bestie bc our grandfathers were from very different eras and held themselves to very different levels of formality. hers was a fancy white collar bastard and mine wasn't. i never saw mine in a suit outside a funeral.

anyway i KNOW that the fashion in the latter half of the twenties up to WWII was for a very wide legged pant (the oxford bag) and i GUESS you could certainly shove your whole goddamn shoe down that leg but like. it threw me. socks before pants, certainly. especially if you have to fuck with sock garters. but shoving your whole shoe down a pant leg seems. well it just seems. there's an order of operations i thought was sacred for most things. was the seat truly so tight in an oxford bag. are suspenders really that awful to bend over in. so much womens formalwear is uncomfy on purpose so i feel like i have a skewed view of acceptable pain for an outfit to cause you

why am i reading this? can you think of a more on-brand book for me to read? please let me know if you do and i'll add it to The Pile

watching

the tremendously charming soviet childrens film The Tale of Tsar Saltan (1967, Ptushko). court intrigue! a swan princess! giants marching out of the sea! a slightly unsettling squirrel puppet shelling gold and emerald walnuts! a lot of sight gags, some lovely ballet sequences, and there are so many little moving parts to look at in each scene. at its densest it's like howl's bedroom in howl's moving castle

this was on my library's streaming platform Kanopy and i had credits to use up.

playing

two things in genshin that took absolutely forever to accomplish:

i finally maxed out the overall XP system (not the character XP system) so the game's just been chucking in-game currency at me instead, which has been helpful!

and i finally caught two thousand fish! very nice to clear like forty fishing spot markers i put down on my map, in advance of the forty billion markers i'll want to put down to mark stuff in the next big release at the end of the summer.

i forgot that i can use my desktop for things that aren't genshin and applying to jobs, so i reinstalled steam and fired up powerwash simulator. they popped out one new DLC in the year since i touched it, a santa's workshop level last winter. a good hour well spent. i spent a LOT of time with this game right before my move last year and it did genuinely help my anxiety.

making

not a fallow week but a pictureless week. ended up painting most of my best friend's bedroom bc we didn't have anything better to do on a saturday night. i think this was the hardest i've ever raw-dogged a painting project bc we had no tarps or painters tape or paint trays or rollers wider than 3". just a bucket of paint and a need to make the half-painted bedroom wall look nicer for her new job zoom training. we have to do a lot of things like move the bed and paint that wall, and paint the ceiling, and do all the trim + doors, but it does look much nicer on zoom now!

Trick or Treat!!

57 Roy x Jamie :3

57. dating apps ☺️

—

11:21 p.m. lucky for you that’s exactly my type

Roy’s bored. It’s not like he just sits around answering messages from pictureless Grindr blokes, but he’s bored and he’s scrolling and he's horny and it’s not like a 25-year-old 5’10" toned vers bisexual sounds unappealing, necessarily, even if that’s all he’s got to go on.

11:23 p.m. What is?

11:23 p.m. your bio

Roy may have been a bit drunk when he set up his account the other night, so who the fuck knows. He flips to his profile and reads, “emotionally unavailable but I eat arse so there’s that.”

Right.

Roy Kent is not old, thank you very much, but in his day, you picked people up in a bar or at a party or after a match because fit, interested people tended to linger. Now there’s an app for that. Brave new fucking world.

He’d downloaded fucking bantr out of morbid curiosity, a few months after he broke things off with Keeley, and deleted it within 20 minutes. The problem with bantr is that the whole point is to make some deep, meaningful connection that’s based on more than just physical attraction. Roy already had that. He fucked it up. That’s the last thing he wants.

Grindr, though. That’s more his speed.

11:26 p.m. That so?

11:27 p.m. it is. everyone else on here just wants their dick sucked, man. where’s the creativity?

11:27 p.m. So it’s the creativity then, not the offer itself

11:28 p.m. listen mate, if you’re offering…

The photo suddenly gracing Roy’s phone has got to be the most perfect bum Roy’s ever seen, round and smooth and muscled and…yeah, Roy would fucking feast on that.

Wait.

Another picture comes through, another that shouldn’t be identifiable, no face, no visible tattoos, just a perfectly sculpted torso, left arm casually flexed with his hand cradled behind his neck. His right arm is strategically out of frame, other than the pretty, angular hand nicely framing a gorgeous cock straining against tight black pants.

Perfectly sculpted torso and casually flexed right arm and pretty, angular hand and gorgeous cock that all belong to Jamie Tartt.

There’s not the slightest sliver of doubt in his mind. Roy sculpted that body himself. It’s fucking Jamie, that perfect bicep from the new lifting routine, the tan from his trip to Brazil, the Orion’s Belt of freckles on his left pec.

Fuck.

11:33 p.m. speechless, yeah? you’re welcome

He should not fucking reply. He should close the app. Delete the conversation. Block Jamie’s profile. Delete his goddamn Grindr account.

11:35 p.m. You always this much of a cocky prick?

11:35 p.m. nah, way worse in person

11:35 p.m. you want it though, don’t ya?

11:36 p.m. can i see you?

Roy takes a breath. Don’t reply, close the app, delete the conversation, block the profile, delete the account. Lots of great options here.

Instead he takes a breath, pulls off his shirt, and snaps his own faceless torso picture. He glances at it just long enough to decide it’s good enough and sends it before he has time to think about it any harder.

He doesn’t know what outcome he’s hoping for here. Maybe Jamie isn’t as fucking deranged as Roy apparently is, maybe Jamie won’t immediately recognize some random hairy chest. Or maybe Jamie will know immediately, too. Maybe he’ll have the good fucking sense to do what Roy should have done and pretend this never happened.

Minute after agonizing minute ticks by, and Roy is a fucking idiot, why the fuck…

11:41 p.m. right

11:41 p.m. so you coming over now or do we have to wait til 4am?

Roy stares at the phone for a minute before typing a response, throwing his shirt back on, and grabbing his car keys.

11:42 p.m. On my way

Bracket 2 Round 1 Poll 10

john henry is still pictureless so my drawings make a comeback

John Henry vs Bumper

JOHN HENRY

John Henry is 12 2/3 years old. He has numerous names, such as "snaggletooth" and "fat rat". John is a sweetie, always has been. He loves to burrow his way under blankets and sleep all tucked in. If you have fried chicken, he WILL teleport in front of you and eat it from your mouth. His favorite videos to watch are fake fireplaces and Sans Undertale fight. I don't know why. He's weird. One time he ate a fake feather and was very pleased with himself. John's submitter's anxious lil boy and they love him dearly <3

BUMPER

he is owned by connoreatspants famous twitch streamer he once bit austin show who is gay so he is maybe a little homophobic but submitter thinks he got over it as an adult. was found on the side of the highway by will neff. he's gray. they don't know what else they can say about bumper. he used to be really tiny and there's plushies of him

[fagbearentertainment]

I might also just not liveblog it, or keep my liveblogs real short and pictureless, idk yet :^3

My friend streams Netflix shows for me sometimes on discord, maybe you could do that too and screenshot from the stream?

~the bigender Charlie anon (sidenote i am considering changing my nametag simply bcs this is long as fuck. idk what the new one will be yet but I'll be experimenting at some point)

I don’t use discord so that’s a no go :/

I might watch from my computer tomorrow (or day after bc my niece is staying over) and take pics with my phone like I did with the Mob Psycho 100 live blog on my main

Or I’ll just look for a site to pirate it on on my phone, it might be on my usual one but since it’s still pretty new it might not be :p

[prismaticpichu]

I know not too much activity lately, but hmmmmm right now Zack & Seph are sitting at Seph’s kitchen with a chemistry book bc Zack wanted an education past the 7th grade to make up for what he exchanged for SOLDIER and Seph is very proud! <3

Lazard has no idea why fully-constructed tests are being printed amid the other stuff, but hey, don’t look at him he’s just the director. It takes some Fs, but Seph soon realizes that pictureless articles aren’t gonna stick to his friend’s head—not like they make themselves home for him. No! He needs to represent the states of matter with a Moogle, a Moogle puddle, and a Moogle smoke cloud drawing. Ofc, Zack’s gonna do even better with an incentive :3c Lo and behold he passes with flying colors! And as promised, if (he really means when) he passes, he’ll agree to a movie—anything of Zack’s choice. It’s a very cozy night! This tutoring evolves into a weekly thing on Friday, each week with a new subject (ofc Sephiroth orders the history books outside of ShinRa. He’s not letting Zack drink that kool-aid), using finger puppets to reenact battles and divvying out pretzels to convey the distributive property.

Zack catches on like a fish every time—especially when there’s a new incentive Seph commits to! (He still can’t believe he actually agreed to go to the bowling alley). Zack loves this quality time so much, and Seph treasures it too <33 Being able to restore a piece of Zack’s childhood and keep him connected to the world of a real teenager is everything to him. He wants to bring as a much of home to ShinRa as he can <3 Tho, Zack always feels at home, he always does even when they’re away on missions. But heck! There’s nothing better than your teacher being your best friend!

The safe haven is always open! *flicks on singular night light*

[melody-studyblr]

so! i've been having a hard time taking as many 'aesthetic' photos lately, but hopefully i can take some this weekend (sorry for the pictureless post atm!)

i've been loving being back at school! and so far i feel like i've been managing the workload really well. i've actually been feeling rested when i wake up? (what kind of sorcery is this!?)

biology and chemistry have been so so good, i'm feeling really excited about them. my first chem test is this tuesday so wish me luck!

methods and spesh are also awesome and they're so different from each other that i can get really excited about both haha

Four songs on repeat

So the lovely @heartoferebor tagged me for this. Unfortunately I do not use spotify and also am too lazy to actually link anything, so here‘s a pictureless estimate of what I listened to most during, let‘s say last week, because let‘s be honest my long term memory is also shit.

1. Harvest of Sorrow - form the Gwent soundtrack, the one hour loop. I listen to this while marking tutorial work, because I am dramatic even on my own at home, where no one can see. Also that way I already have the right ambience should marking make me cry (not generally because the handed in work is bad, but because I fail to understand the answers).

2. Never fade away - from the Cyberpunk credits, also in one hour loop. This one is for crying over my own research (which happens a lot more than crying over marking).

3. High Hopes/My songs know what you did in the dark mashup - it bangs and I like it and also my angsty teenage self is still alive and kicking.

4. Christmas Truce - because it is still awesome.

I guess I tag @she-who-drank-vodka-with-cats @useless-empty-brain and @wanderingaldecaldo and whoever else enjoys throwing their opinions out into the void.

.

This was different. Even being told so, I don’t think anyone expected this kind of performance. Old sukekiyo intertwined with new sukekiyo, new ideas and new collaboration.

As announced on twitter upon entry we received a leaflet and a small sealed programme.

After arriving at my seat (but actually already going through the door to the audience area) I could see that there was a new concept - the curtain was down but in front of it there was a table covered with a long white cloth. There were five plates and wine glasses, utensils, 3 lit candles on each side. There was something red and shiny on the plate in the middle - apple? small glass ball? One chair stood’ behind the table.

I was planning to watch the show without seeing the programme, but because of the table I broke and had a look. The programme introduced the collaboration with DRESSEDUNDRESSED and asked us to fully experience the result.

BGM kept the atmosphere of the tour with Dead Can Dance.

Also, there were quite a few cameras, but I don’t know if it was enough for a fully fledged release.

Then the theater buzzer sounded for the second time and lights went off.

They started with wind chime sound, it was very dark but I noticed two silhouettes walking from the sides of the stage towards the middle, one person from each side. They wore black suits and had their whole heads wrapped in white cloth, so we couldn’t see their faces, anything. They also had white cloth hanging from the front pocket of the jacket.

With piano melody the front screen started to show the performance credits, the video was kept black&white with an addition of one red geometric element per frame, it included the images of a ballerina on a wooden floor.

In the credits video all band members were sitting behind the table, looking dispassionately ahead. But on the stage two clothed people reached the table and one of them sat down, while the other stood behind. The standing person bent and put their hands on the head of the seated person, tenderly. The seated person took the red ‘apple’ and held it, caressing it. They both wore black leather gloves. They stayed like that, glued to each other head to head, like some kind of weird embrace, so soft.

When finished the clothed people just stood up and slowly walked off the stage, in the separate directions. Theater staff wearing black suits and black cloth wrapped over their heads removed the table carrying it to the left side.

With the use of the screen in the front and darker stage the old feel of sukekiyo’s hall performance was back. And more than ever it brought with it the feeling of separation between the audience and the stage. It felt a bit unreal - you knew there were the real musicians behind the screen but it felt like a movie. It was so well done.

And as always when watching sukekiyo’s seated performance I felt so much adoration and respect towards Mika - the videos he prepares are always absolutely breathtaking and today was not an exception. The way they enhance the feelings, the amount of details, the timing. Everything was really perfect.

In silence the first guitar notes from utA resounded in the venue. Guuzou moratorium had a video with various images of Jesus Christ, including the crucified Christ and the thorn crown. Japanese lyrics were composed into the images. Kyo sang using the microphone on his stand, which means standing with his back to the audience. But the video also included him singing - was it live or made beforehand??? I’m guessing beforehand but the make up and outfits were exactly the same as they wore at the venue.

(my further guess is that they prepared the videos during the break between Fukuoka and Sendai - YUCHI’s new hairstyle is a good timestamp! ;))

Stage presented had a front screen, a back screen and of course stage itself. Again bow towards Mika for creating an incredible effect merging those dimensions together.

All band members were wearing black suits today. They had different shirts etc, but all of them had jackets. Kyo’s had a very specific details - a huge sparkly letters (diamondy/glittery) CHA NEL on the front of his jacket, and a long black scarf attached to the left side, the scarf was hanging flowing together with his pants leg.

For THE WAIZATSU (which started with the huge title on the screen, was it neon pink? And there was so much light!) the front screen went down and Kyo sang holding the microphone in his hand, facing the audience. He wore very dark red lipstick and heavy eyeliner, he smudged the lipstick while dancing during Waizatsu (on purpose and then he matched the Kyo from the video). Kyo again danced with YUCHI who came to the center, intense!

Sharara - during the phrase 心書き綴り 私は存在する Kyo makes a person shape with his hands, a curvy shape? The guitar solo by Takumi is awesome, if you like it on the CD you will die when you hear it live!

Anata yori ue had a video with glittery lips, the lyrics were flowing from the right side to be then ‘sucked’ in by those mouth.

The piano intro in Junboku is heavenly. I also love the video, it started with water and rain images in the beginning to change into fiery red when the song escalates to return to cooler, water-themed imaginary.

Kyo danced and sang, YUCHI was jumping and headbanging a lot. utA made his signature moves, 'stomping’ and leaning his head back when moving arms. Takumi kept switching between keyboards.

The show was getting more and more heated, to be honest I had a good way to cheat the staying still but not really - I placed my bag on my lap so I could keep my hands behind it and tap (silently!) to the rhythm. I’m sorry, I just can’t do it otherwise 🙃

During kisses Kyo sent kiss with his hand twice, at the time of singing 'kiss’ and at the end of the song.

The drum and guitar to introduce elisabeth, oh it was wonderful to hear them! 😭 utA played on violyre with his guitar resting on his back. YUCHI moved closer to the centre and played his upright bass, Takumi sat to play on the acoustic guitar. Kyo was standing in the middle, singing using his mic stand.

And then aftermath!! So many feels😭❤

The stage went dark and I could (barely) see that the members left the stage. But a soft piano melody and a video started on the front screen. We could see all members sitting at the table with candles and plates, just like the table that was on the stage before (from left Mika, utA, Kyo, Takumi and YUCHI). They were in a darker room, it had film noir atmosphere, especially that the video was black and white. There were side tables with more candles, plates with food.

Then the two people from the start of the show came into the room and stood in front of the table. The scene kept changing, as the people came close to each other and they started to touch each other tenderly, suddenly in the next shot all sukekiyo members had black fabric bags over their heads, next shot they were gone (this repeated one or two more times). The people started unwrapping the white clothes from their heads, but they only removed some layers. We could now see the outline of their jaw, lips. Band members continued to just sit there, detached. The two people started to undress each other.

One person was more delicate build, while the one on the right was taller. Under their business shirts they wore simple white t-shirts, but they had black roses (?) on them, they matched, the taller person’s image flickered and for a moment his roses changed to white. They took those t-shirts off as well. Finally they were in their underwear, socks and black shoes, black leather gloves and the remaining white cloth over their heads. They were truly faceless and could seek other roles than the ones decided by their clothes.

Suddenly the taller person was holding a piece of cloth that turned out to be a very simple white bralette. The more slender person put the bralette on. They embraced and kissed.

The scene finished with the shot of an old fashioned lamp with a shade, then last focus on a pictureless frame on the wall.

As the video ended Hakudaku started. 顔のラインを変えて 少しばかりはアノ子に似せられた？ こんな私で御免 汚れて行く価値観

Next was Dorothy… it actually had a disco ball. But only on the video, not the real one!😂 But the atmosphere is set, the rules of the game changed, the world of pleasure inviting.

Kimi wa mukidashi started with the intensity of the red screen, red light continued while the screen in the back showed various scenes. One of them was a couple kissing, they were painted with fluorescent paints in all colours. Then the 'rain’ mid song had lights changed to cool blue only to return to red as the music gets more intense. The 'good day’ appeared on the back screen as Kyo was singing. Scathing.

Dancing continued in Honnou okotowari. YUCHI was doing all the shouts. This song had red effects on the screen that looked like lighting or fire, swirling and moving.

The silence followed as sukekiyo members moved to prepare for a session. Kyo picked a new addition to his equipment - he used a mouth controlled synthesizer.

When I was trying to google the name my first search was 'instruments used in horror movies’… it wasn’t on any list but after hearing their session I think it should be added there!

Takumi was on piano, YUCHI on bass, utA on guitar and Mika played middle tempo. The melody was very jazzy but the addition of the sounds from synthesizer made it eerie, unsettling.

The video screened during the session showed a broken room, bare walls with paint and even plaster coming off, some bricks visible. There were two tall windows, set of two sofas, empty. Everything was black and white.

The clock ticking like sound started Nurebairo, the stage was mostly dark, the main source of light was Kyo’s mic stand shining cold pink on him. Kyo slowly unbuttoned half of his shirt to show his chest, his heart.

And anima… melody pulls you in but the singing breaks you.

Takumi played the last piano notes Kyo cried それでも私 側にいていいですか？ and they continued, piano and crying.

I can’t hope anymore, my love doesn’t change, my heart broken who can I live for? I want to be loved, I want to enter your heart So scary, I cry, in pain, alone I want to live

Then came the acceptance and control of oneself. Tada, mada, watashi has such strong message.

During Uso the front screen became a wet window from rain we looked through. The back screen had various scenes, from a woman walking in the poppy field, cherry trees, river, sea waves caressing the sand; a lot of nature scenes. Band members were bathed in a warm light. It was such a soothing scene, serene. A goodbye.

As Hyouhaku flavour started the front screen went up and the band just kept playing, Kyo singing, playing theremin and dancing as in a trance. Then suddenly theater staff brought the table back, this time accompanied by 5 chairs. Kyo kept dancing.

Instead of walking off the stage as was done before, sukekiyo members one by one took a sit behind the table, YUCHI after putting his bass on the floor, utA left his guitar, Kyo turned and took a step to sit down, last Mika and finally Takumi stood and walked towards the table in silence. Kyo picked up a silver spoon and started playing with it, holding it up, it was catching light.

The wind blowing sound and soft piano melody started again (very slow arrangement of tada, mada, watashi melody). On the back screen ending credits started to play, tour name, dates with venues, band members and all the staff.

At the same time the two people came back as well, mostly undressed as in the end of the video, again from the opposite sides of the stage. They came to the table, the slender person wearing bralette sat first, moving with grace he placed his legs, in socks and black business shoes one by one on the table. The other man soon joined, sitting across from him, their position mirrored.

They again embraced, started kissing and tenderly touching each other. Caressing each other faces, even though still covered by cloth, arms and legs. They kept going lower, until they were lying down, holding each other legs, kissing them. sukekiyo members just sat through this behind the table.

But then, in the end Kyo stood up and took one of wine glasses. He slowly started to spill the content over the people on the table. It was red, looked quite sticky. He took one more wine glass and repeated it, creating splashes of red on their bodies.

The back screen showed FIN then curtain went down and usual piano ending started. Audience gave a fierce applause.

It was truly unforgettable.

Content Creation

Content development is very important especially in terms of social media marketing. Companies can effectively use two types of content in their post, one being curated content which is content created by a third party, but promotes that company. Many companies utilize curated content as it is just as effective as their own content but may provide more trust in potential customers due to there being a 3rd party vouching for them. Here is an example of curated content on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPKGYGg1_-/?utm_source=ig_embed The other option is to obviously create your own content. Meaning to literally create your own ads and post within the company. This is also a very effective way, even though companies utilize curated content more often.

 In order to utilize content creation effectively on social media there are a few simple things you can do to ensure that you do. First things first you must make sure to have a strong headline or caption for the post. Take time to go over a couple different headline and choose which one is the most simple but emotionally grabbing, this is one of the first things a user will notice about a post. Also be sure to optimize the post if you plan to post across several platforms. Nobody wants to see a repetitive post but for example you highlight a different section in each post you may receive more reaction. Another tactic that is useful with content creation is to use visuals. While a pictureless post may draw attention, a visual is almost always likely to get more views.

Kid Trent Catches the Sun

The Sun

1

I used to think that because I loved the color yellow, the sun belonged to me.

I did not need to read of ancient gods to see it

Helios Ra Sol   Anansi:    All hid the true meaning.

Each day. Parishioners bustle, head bowed before its majesty

This is the fear of the Lord

2

On days as grey as these

I like to go underground.

It completes the feeling. It completes what darkness tries to show me.

Darkness and I are friends, see.

My blue-black eyes and him, drinking buddies.

My ink-black eyes take a shot of the void scenery.

Pictureless prescience sleeps off the evening noise.

3

sky blue Chicory bloomed that morning

the dawn, her cheeks all rosey

i woke up for the first time ever, sipping on bright yellow tea,

twining flax into bits of string.

4

The bowl above catches only clouds. I roll them about,

looking for hint, a flake of fiery gold.

As long as I’m here I may as well get old.

Though I don’t like what it does to my hair:

Blonde goin’ dark like thunderheads

Eyes goin’ light like thin air.

My grandfather always said the only toothbrush worth having was yellow. He said this over sweet yellow bubbles, through long flax-golden hair.

Those sapphire chips of his were colorblind, but he don’t mind.

Yellow is the hardest color to see

some say that we are stardust

sometimes I am the sun.

Blue, the color of our planet from    far      far            away

6 Six is unlucky. Purple is strange. Hummingbirds though green remind me of beating hearts which are actually red but they sound good so I guess they can be a good omen anyway, and why is it when you mix all the pretty things together you get something awful

7

Why can’t I take my eyes off dandelions?

Why does every passerby shine so brightly?

God made himself so incredible to see,

Why not stay invisible?

The camera washes out to white

I tilt it back and forth and yet

How do you capture the sun?

8

There are colors in the sky every morning.

There are colors in the sky every morning.

There are colors in the sky every morning.

How lucky can we be?

9

They say you can spin despair into gold

Clutch it by its milky haunches, grind it bones and all

They say there’s enough after initial processing

To get you off this backwater planet.

Just gotta get lucky, find a spot, and stake your claim.

10

“Hello?

Anyone there?

God? Mother? Father?”

The echoes leave you alone.

“Alright then. If no one’s here then I’m just gonna…

I’m just gonna take this, kay?”

They don’t even bother to echo.

No one is watching the sky.

“Right. Cool. Imma just leave a couple dandelions. Don’t worry bout the change.”

11

I did it.

I got it.

I made of with the sun

And it’s mine.
