His Tiktok is tracking tutorials and again nature videos. He hates twitter and isn’t on it.

He posts lots of glammy photos of himself in the woods and tutorials of how to keep your hair and makeup intact in the battlefield. He also edits slow mows of himself shooting orcs.

Gimli
anmyaxe, lordofglitteringcaves, gimlet, are some of his names. Posts angry rants on twitter and faceboo. Regularly gets into internet fights with trolls. Posts videos on tiktok of his various stone projects and his workout routine (the latter gets a lot of views) Everyone loses it when he and Legolas team up for a “elf braid vs dwarf braid” youtube video.

Pippin
Has made foolofatook his name for everything and also a hashtag. Huge on twitter and twitch, he also has insta and tiktok and a youtube channel with Merry. Said Youtube is very popular and involves pranks, media reviews, and him and Merry doing stupid shit
Merry
Does a lot of work on the channel with Pippin. Also has a twitch and twitter. Insta king people think he’s really cool. He is the kind of person who shares his progress on candy crush and duolingo. Tried to make merrychristmas his username but it was taken and so went with theweedprofessor. His tiktok is more popular than Pippin’s but Pippin’s twitter is more popular

He also has insta but rarely posts anything except occasionally a picture of Sam. He has a linguistics Youtube channel where he talks about elvish history and language.

Tumblr media
Fanpages
Joost klein x goth! plus sized! reader
It was only inevitable your relationship would become public. unfortunately, not all attention is good.
Tumblr media
wordcount: 700ish
warnings: fatphobia, cyberbullying, google translate Dutch
a/n: First request ive gotten, thanks! haven’t written for a plus sized reader before but i really wanted to take a stab at it so i hope i did it justice at least a lil. Also most of the time i try to write gn readers but this one ima be leaning more fem. hope you enjoyyy (Im so bad at titling things you guys)
RPF BELOW. Dont read if not comfortable with that k thnks :)
it was unlike you to go on such a deep dive into the comments of some random fanpage for your boyfriend, but it was only inevitable regardless the recent events. After Eurovision, Joost’s popularity just seemed to have skyrocketed and with that your guy’s relationship became a lot more public.
Fans figured out you two were dating quite quickly. Piecing together screenshots and matching posts, but it wasn’t until some fans took a picture of the two of you kissing at a bar last night that your socials truly went haywire. Most fans were supportive, you had seen a cute fan edit of the two of you already, but of course with every few lovely comments, there were always gonna be jealous fans.
- can’t believe hes dating this fat bitch
- i know right?! she looks so tacky and weird compared to the rest of his friends
similar comments kept popping out at you, all under the slide of fan paparazzi photos with the caption: JOOST GIRLFRIEND CONFIRMED?!
You didn’t even wanna look at your dms at the moment. fans taking it upon themselves to tell you you weren’t good enough for him, like you hadn’t already been together for years. You knew you shouldn’t let the comments of strangers get to you, but it brought up all the insecurities you’ve had about your relationship in the past.
your little media spiral had led you to where you were now, hiding in your bedroom, under the covers, away from the world. You were too busy doom scrolling on your phone and blasting Bauhaus to hear the knock and jingling of keys from Joost entering your apartment.
He had gotten the news probably even before you did that morning, his mentions filled with the same few screenshots and reactions that he learned to ignore. He had stopped by the store to pick up a bouquet of flowers and coffee and pastries from your favorite cafe you two frequent. He followed the sound of the music to your bedroom to find the lump of blankets on your bed that was you.
"oh Schatje..." you heard him call out. Your head popped out from under the covers to reveal to him your tear stained face. Eyes red, you did your best to put on a smile for him.
"Hi love, Im guessing you saw the news.." you sniffle and glance at his full hands. "You really didn't have to come by today, I'm okay I promise."
"je gezicht zegt iets anders, liefje" (your face says something different, love) He set down the flowers and small feast on your dresser and crawls onto the bed next to you. You sit up in your blanket cocoon and lean on his shoulder, Joost wrapping in arm around you and pressing a kiss to your forehead. "What did they say?"
"people are assholes." you mumble. "Its nothing I wasn't expecting.. just wasn't how I thought this week was going to go.."
"I know and im sorry. I saw some of the bad comments already, you know I love everything about you right?" he pulls out his phone and opens tiktok to show you a post he had saved. It was another edit, this one of pictures of joost in his lowlands performace with his mime face paint and you that same day with your matching trad goth makeup. The caption included the hashtag # couplegoals and it made you smile. "See, not everything is bad, they love you Schatje, I love you."
"okay okay, can we just stay in today? and tomorrow, and maybe the whole week..."
"Today for sure, why do you think im in sweatpants?" he gestures to his cozy attire. "Now share the blankets, your place is always so cold."
you open the blanket to wrap around the two of you and Joost repositions you so your legs are resting over his in his lap so he can be all the more closer to you. You look up at him and his right hand cups your face, wiping away and remaining tears, before leaning in and kissing you. You lean closer and move your lips with his as you feel him grab your side to move you more onto his lap. you break the kiss, faces still inches from each other.
“The coffee is gonna grow cold.” he just smiles and murmurs against your lips.
“fuck de koffie”

I am LOOKING,, at Zero on the right 😳 
And yes!! The Berlin trip was exhausting, but it was really fun! And aaa I’m glad you liked the song! ^w^ It’s really catchy to me
As I’ve mentioned, I did a little wedding thing for some TWST characters 👀 So for some context, the reader/you are going to go to a large family wedding that’s coming up. Which also means extended relatives! You didn’t want to go out alone, so you decided to invite your friend as a plus-one. This is mainly platonic, but reader/you and the characters are implied to have some Feelings™ for each other,, 👀 👉👈 [The mini headcanons may be a bit messy- I hope you don’t mind!!]
~~~
Vil Schoenheit (HE MAY SEEM KINDA OOC HERE I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE,,)
-Congratulations! You’ve just gotten the biggest family flex of the century! Bragging rights forever!!
-He helps you with dressing up and styling your hair-
-You’re interrogated the second you step into the venue because holy sh*t is that the Vil Schoenheit??
-Vil will excuse both of you if he notices you’re getting overwhelmed by the barrage of questions. He’s had his fair share of social conventions and he knows his way around them
-Seeing how he’s so popular, there’s a pretty good chance that he also gets barraged with questions by the guests- And though he’s used to that sort of thing, you manage to break him away from the busy atmosphere and take him on a walk through the rose garden outside to get some fresh air
-The peaceful and quiet atmosphere is really nice, so you stay out there for a while. Unfortunately, you two do loose track of time because while you’re out there, the fireworks display began to start. Though you say you should go back and join the others, Vil convinces you to stay in the garden with him, and he pulls you down to sit with him on a bench, seeing the fireworks go off in the sky. The two of you could still see the fireworks just fine, no?
-“What a beautiful sight,” you say watching the night sky pop with colourful fireworks.
-Vil glances at you, and he saw how the colours reflected in your eyes. “Yes,” he said, “it is.”
Trey Clover
-One of the best people to have as a plus-one and meet the family to be honest
-His polite, caring charisma and dashing looks are a deadly combination
-He’s open to chatting with anyone, and he shares recipes and baking tips!
-You two get different desserts and you compare each other’s
-“This is really good, you have to try it!” And he holds out his spoon to feed you some of his dessert
-I don’t know why, but I love the image of him analysing each dessert like he’s some pâtissier Gordon Ramsay. He’s more of a Paul Hollywood though
-Kind of a bad dancer but that adds to his charm 🤌
-I can see him hanging out with the grandparents… They’d love him, let’s be honest. They’d pat you on the back and nod in approval for finding such a nice young man. You have to tell them you’re not dating
-“You’re not dating yet, you mean!” Your grandma says.
-“Grandma, no-“
-I can see Cater hyping him up through text messages kfjgnb
Cater Diamond
-TAKES SO MANY PHOTOS. SO MANY SELFIES. SO MANY PICTURES OF THE DECOR, THE SCENERY, YOU, EVERYTHING
-“Wait, let me take one more picture—“ Proceeds to take fifty more
-Also asks you to take some photos of him too so he can upload them to Magicam. He’s uploading them in real time
-Just imagine the hashtags he’d make
-Pretty fun date overall! Probably hasn’t been to a wedding before so he’s pretty excited
-Social butterfly, and by the end of the wedding, he’s probably met your entire extended family kjfkjhbd
-There was a glitter bar and he was ECSTATIC,, He asks you if you want to get some glitter makeup with him and now both your faces are bedazzled with glitter
-Fun dancer! Probably in a lot of dancing candid shots
-Though, he does manage to snag a photo of you dancing wholeheartedly and having the brightest grin on your face as an upbeat love song plays, the coloured lights catching in your hair,, he’ll keep this one photo private
Azul Ashengrotto
-Wants to make a good impression on your family, so he makes you give him a PowerPoint slideshow presentation on your family members—
-Not a bad date! He gets along well with your family
-Probably manages to overhear all the juicy family gossip and is living for it
-The bride ended up tossing the bouquet way too far and Azul ended up catching it. Now all the uncles are patting him on the shoulder saying congratulations and now he’s trying to hide his embarrassment because he knows exactly what they’re insinuating
-Ngl, he’d probably advertise the Mostro Lounge,, networking king honestly
-The bride and groom wanted one last private dance and as the others were preparing for the send-off, you and Azul have a little dance of your own, listening to the music drifting out of the open windows
-It was a little bit of a surprise for you; Azul didn’t strike you as much of a dancer but he was doing pretty well (He may or may not have practiced a lot-)
-It’s honestly a pretty tender moment; you follow his lead while you lay your head against his shoulder while he gazes at you so softly
Jade Leech
-Surprisingly eager to agree?? He’s curious to see how humans on land celebrate weddings, and it’s an opportunity to spend time with you, so win-win
-There was a DIY mocktail bar and Jade had the audacity to make you a drink with the most wack combination of ingredients you’ve ever heard. Why are you smiling while offering a drink infused with watermelon and cayenne pepper. Jade? Jade—
-Your aunts are charmed with Jade, and they ask you why weren’t you dating such a polite young man?? He’s enjoying every second of your embarrassment
-Fans the flames like “Yes (Name), why aren’t we dating?”
-Pretty chill on the dance floor and mostly just sways along to the music tbh
-How did he get in all the important family photos
-He got a personal invite to the next family gathering and had the sheer audacity to invite you as his plus-one
Jamil Viper
-A bit nervous about having to leave Kalim, but you both manage to convince him it’ll be fine. It’s just for a few hours!
-He absolutely tears it up on the dance floor. It’s his dance floor and we’re all just dancing on it
-You and him are also in a lot of candid shots dancing together!
-Gets along well with your family and the other guests (And tries so hard to not be passive-aggressive to your mean relatives. Whether he succeeds or not is up for debate)
-Although, the ceremony was to take place outside, and that meant bugs. So, as the bride was saying her vows, a roach landed on Jamil’s knee, and you were the first one to notice. You could feel the sweat sliding down the back of your neck as the bug casually crawled around. By some absolute miracle, Jamil didn’t notice it yet
-“Jamil,” you whisper just as the guests applauded the newlyweds kissing.
-“Yeah?”
-“I need you to trust me and not look down.” 
-Jamil, currently living in blissful ignorance, is confused, but says “sure?” He’s suspicious now. You need to be quick.
-As the guests are walking away, you slap the bug off his knee and he screams bloody murder at the sudden sight of the bug flying in front of his face
-RIP Jamil he can’t catch a break
-Aside from that though, pretty chill time!
Kalim Al-Asim
-Very excited to go with you to the wedding!!
-Even though you insist he doesn’t have to, he gets the newlyweds so. Many. Gifts. And they’re all expensive too; it’s to the point where the bride and groom genuinely consider giving some back kjfngb- Kalim assures them it’s fine though!!
-Gets along great with the young kids there! The flower girl asked him to dance and now all the kids want to dance with him fgjnbg
-You have to pull him away from them so he can finally get some food fkgjnb
-Sucks for you because they still follow him around like an entourage. You just stand there like "🧍‍♂️"
-Another fun dancer and very social! He’s a fun date tbh
-After the wedding was finished and all the guests were sent away, you two were still hungry, so you did some Mac and cheese at home
-He says he had a great time and hopes he’ll get invited to the next family outing!
~~~
I hope you enjoyed this! I hope no one seems super OOC or anything fghjnfb- (Also happy birthday to Zero! :D)

I've only skimmed a lot of the posts so sorry if this point has been made but I wonder how peoples' perception of Masculinity vs Femininity as a spectrum affects their perception of characters and designs. Do some people view Masculinity and Feminity as complete opposites, with androgyny as the middle ground? Can you be masculine and feminine simultaneously, while not really being androgynous? Does the 'threshold' of androgyny change depending on how the cc/character is depicted in 'canon'? to be clear I don't necessarily think any of these viewpoints are 100% correct or whatever but I think it's interesting how people will have different perspectives, because most people's view of gender are skewed different and what might read as a fem design could read masculine to another or just entirely androgynous. sorry for the ramble this stuff fascinates me deeply
No yeah it is fascinating!! It's a. very complicated topic since of course the concepts of "masculinity" and "femininity" are very frivolous and amorphous, hence why I kept feeling the need to clarify how it gets. Weird with anime-inspired styles what with the culture shock and whatnot.
This song was really popular in fandoms awhile back and I think it's like. a great example of how one culture's completely neutral (or even masculine!) traits can be seen as feminine (or in this case, "gay") when viewed by another. It's also just really funny and I'm kinda sad no on has done a life series animatic to it yet.
youtube
masculinity and femininity as a scale with androgynous in the middle is also something I'm glad you bring up, because the concepts of masculinity and femininity are so arbitrary and as such there are so many ways to deviate from the norm -- some more socially acceptable than others! Thinking about, for example, the young MAGA hat'd women you see on sites like twitter with the most racist takes of all time and who are very proud of their ability to keep up with the boys in terms of 'murican masculinity (chugging beers, changing tires, so on and so forth) but at the same time cake their faces with makeup, support that Hashtag tradwife lifestyle and Would Not Ever Consider wearing clothes from the mens section because that is the Bad type of gender non-conformity for commies and lesbians or whatever.
Compare that to like. sorry incoming irl lore. the way I've had people in both more liberal and less woke areas get nervous when they try to address me, with the only big difference being that more younger, liberal people will typically either ask for my pronouns or they/them me by default.
I'm lucky enough that most people here are polite but as someone who has presented both masc/fem the way people treat me is so distinctly different based on my perceived gender as well as my level of androgyny it was kind of shocking to me. Eitherway there's a distinct attitude it's like. Rude to not be able to tell whether someone's a man or woman I've noticed and nowadays I have a lot of fun stressing people out. Sadism in me or whatever.
ANYWAY this was about minecraft youtubers. Analysing how people gender their designs, unconsciously or not, is fascinating because of how interpretative these designs are. There's also probably something you could say about how gaming youtuber is a very male-dominated space and how female gaming youtubers tend to overperform femininity, but in very different ways dependent on their intended audience (compare say. Lizzie and Pokimane for example.)
I think it's also worth noting that like. masculinity and femininity in behaviour is very different from physical presentation. which is how you get images like this
Tumblr media
in addition to, again, these concepts already being abstract.
and of course, all said with me biting my tongue on the queer side of things still, because that's a whole other sub-sector of stereotypes and in-group signalling and history that runs convergent with mainstream views on gender.
I think it might be an interesting exercise to put your own designs up against others and consider what points they differ and what that might mean for how the other artist interprets the character vs how you do it. And then if you can look up what the artist actually has to say about the character and see just how right/wrong you were and how your own biases come into play. Two different people can have very similar views on a character, for example, but communicate that through opposite design tropes because they have different associations with said tropes. Not just for gender things btw and I've found peoples more nuanced opinions are harder to read than you'd think! I don't think anyone would look at my Bdubs design and guess that I thought he was fairly feminine in personality, for example.
I love doing that and challenging my own pre-conceptions of what i think peoples takes are judging by their designs (as well as what I think certain traits indicate in personality!). It's amazing for example how many pearl designs I've seen as too feminine and rolled my eyes at turn out to be drawn by artists who very much consider her to be tomboyish.

The most-liked video in TikTok history shows a dark-haired woman making funny faces to her front-facing camera as she lip-syncs to a popular song. It’s held its position since 2020, but recently it’s encountered competition from another video, featuring … a dark-haired woman making funny faces to her front-facing camera as she lip-syncs to a popular song.
Australian influencer Leah Halton posted her simple, short video set to YG Marley’s “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” on February 5, nearly four years after the front-runner it’s trying to take down. Initially, it got a few million likes—not bad, but small potatoes by the standards of a platform with well over a billion monthly active users. Still, because TikTok’s algorithm doesn’t care how old a video is, it began to catch on, and soon its popularity skyrocketed. Over the month of April, it went from approximately 12 million likes to more than 49 million, making it one of the most popular videos in the app’s history.
Keeping track of the video’s growth is easy: Just look closely at its comment section. TikTok users have spent months posting its current metrics multiple times a day, comparing it to other popular videos as it makes its way up the list and exhorting people to spread it around so it can eventually become the most-liked TikTok ever.
At the moment, that goal seems unlikely. Since that enormous leap in April, growth has slowed, and as of July 1 it has gotten fewer than 3 million likes in the past two months. Those are still impressive numbers, but the current record-holder, a video by Bella Poarch, went from 64 million likes to 66 million likes in that same time frame, more than enough to keep her video at the top.
Poarch, an influencer and singer, set the record in 2020 with a video which has many similarities to Halton’s, from the hair and makeup style to the short, satisfying, and easy-to-mimic movements. At the time, Vox journalist Rebecca Jennings called the popularity of Poarch’s video “inexplicable,” but the success of her video and Halton’s—and the similarities between them both—provide indicators of what it takes to achieve virality on TikTok's somewhat abstruse platform. Jennings concluded that “young people centering their conventional attractiveness in easily repeatable formats” was “the logical endpoint” of TikTok. Unfortunately for Halton, once you’ve reached the end, there’s nowhere further to go, and once the novelty has worn off she’ll have to settle for the silver medal.
It’s a little odd to apply the logic of a race to the popularity of two very similar videos. Poarch and Halton (neither of whom responded to requests for comment) haven’t treated it as a rivalry, but in the comment sections of both videos, there’s a loose but fiercely devoted community formed around getting Halton’s video past Poarch’s. “Anyone here on July 1st?” read comments on Halton’s clip in at least six languages, each with a line of users replying “me!” “REMIND ME WHEN THIS HITS 67M!” says a user on Poarch’s video.
It would be easy to put this down to stan armies—established fans of these creators, clashing over the video in a kind of proxy war to glorify their community—but it’s not along such rigid lines. “Whenever there’s a way to quantify popularity online, there’s a group mentality that emerges,” says Kat Tenbarge, a reporter for NBC News who covers internet culture. “It’s something to be a part of.”
Indeed, this isn’t the first time a relatively innocuous post has become the most popular on a platform. In January 2019, an Instagram post with a stock photo of an egg received over 45 million likes in less than two weeks. It shattered Kylie Jenner’s record for the most-liked post in Instagram’s history thanks to a campaign from thousands of users sharing hashtags like #EggGang and #EggSoldiers.
WIRED deemed the egg “the last of a dying breed,” predicting that popularity campaigns from ordinary users, rather than professional influencers or brands, would get less and less traction “as social networks mature and develop more stringent business models.” Just two months later, in a milestone for corporate social media, the Indian music conglomerate T-Series definitively beat the streamer PewDiePie to become YouTube’s most-subscribed channel, despite a campaign from PewDiePie’s fans involving everything from hacking printers to marching in the streets.
Simply put, since viral popularity can be directly translated into money, there’s much less opportunity for it to happen for free. “Mainstream social media platforms have been solidified as global community spaces with outsized cultural impact,” says Tenbarge. “There’s clear value in dominating the metrics on these platforms, which creates an incentive for people to invest their time and care in such accomplishments, even if they don’t personally benefit from it.” Halton has an actual financial investment in her engagement numbers, but the campaign to boost them has already given the more casual users who started it what they wanted: a sense of community.
Beyond that, there’s the issue of how ephemeral TikTok can be. The algorithm that powers the app’s For You page is so good at finding engaging content that China has passed laws against selling it to potential US buyers, who are seeking to purchase the app after lawmakers passed legislation in April forcing its parent company ByteDance to divest from owning it or face a ban in America. The flip side of that algorithm’s power and intensity is that it blocks the more direct and organic forms of community that were the initial appeal of social networks to begin with.
With vanishingly few exceptions, every product, community, or figure with popularity credited to TikTok needs to establish a presence outside of the app to stick around and stay popular, or the relentless algorithm will drive it off people’s feeds. Stanley Quencher water bottles had huge success last year credited to the app, but this was years after they first took off thanks to a prominent review blog. Abigail Barlow, whose Bridgerton fan musical written on TikTok won a Grammy in 2022, had already released a successful single in 2020.
Poarch presumably understood this, quickly parlaying her proverbial 15 minutes of TikTok fame into a line of merchandise, a music career, and more. Halton is already following suit with a reality show appearance. Despite this, Halton’s video will never be able to catch up to Poarch’s without some major element outside TikTok, because it’s just that: a video. Unlike its creator, it can’t transcend the app.
For Halton’s video to break the record, there would need to be some massive, directed interest beyond the shallow sensory appeal that got the video so popular in the first place, which is next to impossible given how much emphasis TikTok places on algorithmic feeds over searching for specific content. The commenters on Halton’s video, who dutifully boost the clip and keep track of the numbers every day, are swimming against the currents that carry every single TikTok to their feeds.
With TikTok reportedly developing a new version of its algorithm to skirt the ban in the US, it’s worth keeping track of how that algorithm shapes what users see, especially how hard it is to work against. The thousands of comments keeping track of the most-liked videos on the platform show that people don’t always just want what the algorithm gives them, and the fact that they come back every day shows they want something that stays in their lives longer than the next swipe up.

Black people (specifically African Americans) will never win… if we wear braids/afros /dreads, have long nails, big earrings, obnoxious makeup, wigs/weave, or durags, we’re ghetto and ratchet and hood, but other nonblack groups should be able to “represent” our culture and make it trendy and beautiful and hip and popular while AA men and women are shamed? Black people listening to rap/drill music is seen as uncultured and aggressive and worse than the systemic effects of racism (???), but other nonblack groups can use aave and be HEAVILY inspired off of black artists’ music, swag and style, and they aren’t shamed like black folk are? Black culture has now become synonymous with pop/gen z culture, and it’s absolutely sickening. Black people express discomfort over nonblack ppl wearing box braids? Gaslighted and bullied and shamed for “gatekeeping”. Black people express discomfort over anti blackness rampant in other communities that still miraculously love their culture? Told they aren’t the only group to experience racism and shouldn’t be that mad. Black people express their personal experiences with racism, colorism, police brutality, weariness over whight people, or any type of experience showing how they’re still suffering from this country’s issues of systemic injustice, dehumanization, and brutality, and they’re told their experiences aren’t valid, to get over it, and to just be accepting. And if we DO get support, it’s a trend and a hashtag you can just put in your bio and forget about the next day. Black people are NOT costumes you can put on and choose when to hang up in your closet. Black people should NOT be expected to carry the plight of other nonblack groups’ trauma especially when other groups will never do the same for us. Black people should be able to be treated with respect and dignity without you erasing our black skin. Black people should be able to talk about our own issues without being bullied for not speaking on others (no one would dare do this to another community). We can’t win. And I’m tired.

What is Douyin Makeup? A Guide to Trends, Looks, and Products
If you’re curious about how long a makeup trend will last, just check out TikTok! Some makeup trends are only popular for a short time, but others are more long-lasting. Douyin makeup is one of those long-lasting trends that you might have seen on your TikTok “For You” page. It’s so popular that the hashtag has over 1.3 million views on TikTok.
Makeup artist Lewis Chia has made several Douyin makeup videos that have gone viral. He loves how Douyin makeup enhances your natural features while still letting them shine through.
Another makeup artist, Taylour Chanel, thinks Douyin makeup is great because it’s soft and gentle, which is different from the edgy, cool makeup trends we’ve seen recently. Chanel says that Douyin Makeup is answering a call that people are looking for in the beauty world right now.
What Is Douyin Makeup?
Tumblr media
Douyin makeup is a trendy makeup style from China that’s becoming more popular in other parts of the world, especially thanks to TikTok. The look is all about a natural, glowing complexion and uses shimmery eyeshadow, pink blush, and soft lips.
Some people have been confusing Douyin makeup with Korean beauty, but it’s important to remember that they’re different styles from different cultures. Douyin makeup was created by Chinese makeup influencers and emphasizes glittery eyeshadow and dramatic lashes, while Korean beauty uses a more minimal eye look.
Even though it’s a traditional East Asian look, people around the world are starting to take inspiration from Douyin makeup and make it their own. Makeup creator Kamille Gregory was curious to see how the style would look on her, and now she loves it too!
How To Do Douyin Makeup Step By Step?

Using The Sims 4 Genetics To Make TD Kid OCs (This was a mistake) *Part 1*
Title says all.
I used the Sims 4 Genetic System to make TD kid OCs. Why?
I don’t flipping know.
So I have Sims of TD characters. Not all. But I did this cause why not. And I regret my choices cause some of these kids… ugh.
I did a girl AND a boy to make things even. And I randomized their names so… idk someone on the Internet finds this and used these A.I generated characters as OCs.
I really don’t care if you do.
So let’s do this…
Oh, and if you want to suggest a ship I do this with, leave it in the reply or reblog of this post.
Owen & Izzy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So these are my sims of these characters. So you know what they look like.
My Izzy Sim’s got abs. That’s canon, right?
So let’s see what Sims Genetics came up with…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH NO…
I already hate it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their faces are just… NOT that appealing…
I mean Owen and Izzy aren’t TRADITIONALLY ‘pretty’ people. Still.
Why is the boy so muscular? Where did he get that from?
I think their outfits are suitable though. They both got the white going on, and the girls shirt looks like something Izzy would wear.
Izzy seems to have the dominant genes when it comes to hair. They both became redheads.
The face structure just ruins it for me.
I randomized it; The girls name is Madison. The boys name is Elias.
You know, I can see that.
Owen & Justin
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since Owen canonically had a crush on Justin, I’m including it. It’s not a popular ship but since we’re here.
I’m wondering if the kids of Justin would look good.
Let’s see…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH MY-
Okay.
I swear this was randomized.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The girl. 10/10
I LOVE this Sim’s look. Idk where she got blue hair from. But I LOVE her look. I love the jewelry, I love that it matches, I love her outfit, she’s really pretty.
She looks like a legit Total Drama character design.
10/10 look for this girl.
The boy is… okay. Could’ve been a lot worse. I can see he inherited Owen’s messy hairstyle. I actually think the blue eyes look great for him. He loses me on body proportions.
I expected the Owen kids to be on the chubbier side, but no.
The girl is Kyra. The boy is Brady.
…make as many Beth jokes as you want.
Owen & Noah
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nowen Stan’s. Here we go. You me, we gotta do this one.
I’m a little worried cause they’re so different in appearance…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH NO…
I hate it.
Why is the boy a punk?!?!?
Sims really said. “Owen and Noah, yeah they’d have a punk bad boy kid”
There are several bad boy characters, game. Why?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why are their noses so big?!
I don’t understand.
I don’t like it.
I guess on paper if I were to readjust them, they’d work. But randomized… the noses just ruin it. They’re too distracting.
Girl is Jacklyn. Boy is Stewart.
Gwen & Trent
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We gotta do Gwen & Trent. We gotta.
Personally I love my Gwen Sim. I think this is just such a good design and I’m proud of myself for it.
I apologize for Trent though… that’s my bad. I made the sims.
Which are also all on the gallery in the Total Drama hashtag of the game if you want to use them. I have ones for the first gen and the 2023 gen.
So I’m worried this kids are gonna look bad…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SPLIT. Huge split.
UUUUUUHHH
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The boy. Uh…
Game. TRENT is the father, right????
I think you got the wrong one in mind…
He doesn’t look that bad, it’s just… I can’t not think of Gwuncan with this one. And this is supposed to be the Gwent kid.
The girl on the other hand. I love her.
She looks a bit like Heather
BUT I still love it. This is a near PERFECT outfit. I love the braid in her hair. She’s really pretty.
She looks like a legit Total Drama character.
I might keep this sim and use her. She’s fantastic.
I don’t see a lot of Gwen in these though. They look like Heather and Duncan and not Gwen. I mean I guess they inherited her skin tone but that’s it. I guess it would be hard cause she’s a goth style character.
Girl is Hana. (That’s pretty). Boy is Daniel.
Gwen & Cody
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I hate the ship. But that’s not the point here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both look good though?!
They MATCH in outfit?!
The girl has black on?! And makeup?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They’re both pretty?!
I like that the boy has glasses. That just fits idk. Their hairstyles are really nice.
There’s legit character here.
I hate the ship they came from, but they’re really good.
Girl is Victoria. Boy is Henry.
*Will Be Continued*

classic ultra mini platform uggs. i got the color chestnut, original i wanted mustard seed but sadly they were sold out in my size and i was already debating on chestnut v. mustard seed. so i went with chestnut since i feel like that color of brown is diverse when it comes to styling. i can’t wait to wear it with pretty leg warmers 🎀!

jill stuart makeup. i have never bought from there until now and i’m waiting on my order, but the packaging is too cute to not have it. i ordered their lip blossom and their eye jewel dew in the shade pretty princess. i’ve never tried an eye shimmer but i just know it’s going to look cute. especially as a quick and small dash of highlight. 🎀
alba rosa beige hisbiscus tote bag. alba rosa was one of the it stores in gyaru culture. the bag looks sooo soft & fuzzy! and i can’t wait to put a pink bow on it. soft brown and baby pink is my favorite color combination at the moment ! 🍨

pink cropped jacket with fuzzy ball strings. it’s actually a set but i have yet to order the skirt! the jacket was too cute to not get right now, i can literally live with the jacket itself, but i do have plans on buying the skirt soon.

‘Is blogging still relevant in the age of TikTok’s and Instagram?’
Indeed, it remains relevant to this day and age. Despite the rise of TikTok and Instagram, some individuals continue to pursue blogging as their hobby. I also do the same thing, just like right now, I do my blog because I need to do it for my assignment. People continue to read blogs to find information or conduct research. As for me, I read blogs to learn tips or simply to immerse myself in other people's stories, (particularly those who have their hearts broken HE HE HE)
Tumblr media
IS BLOGGING STILL RELEVANT IN 2024?
Is blogging still relevant? Does anyone still use blogs? When I discuss blogging, I often encounter these types of inquiries. Instagram and TikTok have embraced blogging as a crucial online platform for self-expression. You might wonder whether blogging still holds significance in today's digital world.
Tumblr media
The dominance of social media platforms nowadays has led some to declare that blogging is dead. But this couldn’t be any further from the truth. Because young people now only know Instagram and TikTok, they are rarely aware of blogging. Even if they know it, they may believe that blogging is solely for the elderly, a completely unfounded misconception. (like duhhh... elderly whoooooooo?)
Tumblr media
Aside from that, we can also share different types of topics through blogging, such as personal life, education, awareness, and more. It functions similarly to a diary, but with the added benefit of typing and the ability to add gifs to make it more interesting.
WHAT IS BLOGGING?
let me tell youuuuu.....
Tumblr media
Blogging also often involves sharing long-form articles on a specific subject. Consider the topic of treating an individual suffering from a mental health issue. (I think I also need to read about it because my deluluness is already at a higher level.)
Tumblr media
Most of the time, the blogger chooses a topic that can attract the interest of their target audience. Most blogs have a specific target audience, such as young people who are interested in fashion or makeup. By writing about it, we can pique the interest of young people, encouraging them to visit the blog and learn more about makeup and fashion. Additionally, we can include numerous pictures and videos to enhance their understanding.
INSTAGRAM VS TIKTOK VS BLOG
In the digital sphere, blogging, Instagram, and TikTok each have their own functions and present different benefits and difficulties for content producers. This is a comparison of various platforms according to their features, duration of material, and audience interaction.
Each medium serves the same purpose, allowing people to share and post about topics they are passionate about. The delivery method is the only difference. Blogging is more about writing and reading, but Instagram and TikTok allow users to post reels or videos to convey their perspectives. (As a shy shy cat, talking in front of the camera is a no-no.)
Tumblr media
We can use all three mediums as platforms for awareness, leveraging their unique formats to engage audiences and foster community support. To improve the blog, we can use educational resources. A lot of blogs on mental health offer helpful information about resources, treatment alternatives, and coping mechanisms. This educational component empowers the readers to prioritize their mental health and seek assistance when needed. While TikTok primarily focuses on viral content, mental health issues frequently gain popularity, raising awareness and inspiring people to share their personal narratives. When we click on hashtags like #MentalHealth Awareness, we can highlight all topics related to mental health. Instagram prioritizes visual impact, enabling users to share impactful photos and graphics related to mental health issues. Using quotes or infographics, you can effectively communicate ideas about mental health.
However, if you're looking for a comprehensive resource on mental health, I recommend reading the blog, as it provides everything you need (including a psychology number if you're interested, idiihhhhhh).
Tumblr media
While TikTok and Instagram offer immediate engagement and access to vast audiences, blogging remains a powerful tool for creating lasting content with full ownership. Each platform has its strengths; thus, many creators succeed by integrating all three into their strategies. Using Instagram or TikTok as promotional funnels can drive traffic back to blogs, where deeper engagement occurs. Ultimately, the choice between these platforms depends on individual goals, target audiences, and preferred content styles.
That is all from me..bye.

imagine if the characters had access to Tiktok 😣
I Wonder what they would do on there, i think Sorcha would be an influencer ngl 🤷‍♀️
Oh, she absolutely would be an influencer, but a very specific kind of influencer - think Dita Von Teese as an influencer. Lots of Golden Hollywood glamour, exploring the world of theater and singing and burlesque, lots of Day In The Life Of A Chanteuse TikToks, shopping in high end boutiques and finding gorgeous vintage finds. One of her most famous TikTok’s is doing her makeup routine whilst handling her butterfly knife, singing an Irish cover of “Young and Beautiful.”
Lor would be all about Boxing/Gym Life, his matches and workout routines along with whatever trend tickles his fancy. LOTS of practical jokes and shenanigans directed at his siblings and his best mate Brig (“I DON’T WANNA BE ON BLOODY CAMARA, PISS OFF!”) and mixing of cocktails and bartending tricks.
Also lots of TikTok’s about his amazing, spectacular, gorgeous girlfriend. “Ain’t she the best? Rilla, show them your gorgeous smile, can’t believe a mug like me has this girlie on me arm…” The most popular TikTok of his featuring her is when he’s trying to teach her how to properly throw a punch. At the end Rilla leaps at the punching bag and holds onto it like a koala while Lorcan falls to the floor laughing.
Rilla’s TikToks are all about ballet and dancing and fashion, she had a huge following and she adores her fans. She loves to do TikTok’s of getting ready for her barre exercises whilst wearing a flower crown and telling about her latest adventure at the club, and is very big into promoting body positivity and body neutrality, and is always ready to be a cheerleader for anyone who is feeling down.
She also has countless ones about her sweet, loving, passionate boyfriend, “He’s as handsome as the devil but his heart is the kindest in the whole wide world! Look at those eyes! Oh, but they make me weak in the knees…!” The most popular TikTok of hers featuring him is when Rilla gave him a spa day, which meant a manicure, pedicure, a facial and massage and a full cosmetic makeover - Lorcan adored it.
Saoirse’s account is focused on activism, lots of marches and protests and lifting up grassroots movements and go fund me’s, showing ways to give back to the community and help those who don’t have housing or resources. She has to be careful with her TikTok’s because the police are aware enough about her and her influence to consider her a troublemaker…
Locke’s TikToks all about True Crime and whatever else he wants to info dump about - medieval executions and instruments of torture, the history of poisons, how the Victorians were obsessed with death, what it would take to actually reanimate dead tissue like in Frankenstein, et cetera.
He’s very confused by any attempts at flirting and is notorious about his beef with one Padraic Regal. And yet, he gets VERY bitchy to those who gush about Regal (“You’re NOT his type! Not…not that I…know about his - humph!- type…”) or insult him in anyway. Regal is his to insult, that’s all…
Padraic, meanwhile, holds off on posting anything on his account because he doesn’t want any kind of incriminating evidence that the police and or his rivals/competitors could use against him. But when he does, oh man…
Hashtags about him start going viral, people immediately falling over themselves about him. He becomes infamous for his cutting criticism of modern media, his witty observations and banter, his debonair fashion, his cultured charm, his flawless grooming/cosmetics, and Being That Bitch. Followers are quick to pick up on and note how he and Locke cross paths a lot despite their…tension. There’s a lot of teasing done, and some of Padraic’s more ardent supporters begin to harass Locke.
And then those followers disappear. And everyone learns that Padraic Regal is the only one allowed to fuck with Sage Locke.

The Nephilim and Damsel in Distress Tropes
The Nephilim Trope and The Damsel in Distress Trope
This is the driving mechanism behind the Superman/Lois relationship and why it's been in the forefront and psyche of our comic pop culture for so long. You often hear of their 80-year romance and how that itself confirms it's virtue. Understand that yes his creation was based on Moses, a savior to the Hebrews and his creators were Jewish. The humble origins of this character gave hope to the creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. It is my understanding that the Lois Lane character was inspired by a dominant female person in their lives. Think it was a spouse or a real-life feisty reporter. Either way, Superman has evolved over the decades in the Silver Age, Golden Age, Post-Crisis, Infinite Crisis, New 52, Rebirth comics even in the Snyder films, he mirrors a Christ-like figure in scene motifs of the church and space by sacrificing himself.
Yet his story plays out more as a Nephilim type. It is sold as that in the Rebirth and TV shows where he marries a human woman and has children with her.
As a god from heaven that fell for a human woman and saves her. For some this may sound romantic which is why these types of stories are repeated over and over again. People romanticize something greater than themselves. They are stories that rescue them out of futility. Unfortunately for the story of Nephilims was not a good one. It too originates from Old Testament times where angels who’s job was to be watchmen over humanity decide to leave their posts and have sexual relations with human women. This in turn produces giants or men of reknown like an alien-human hybrid. They weren’t good but evil.
Angelic Heroes and Wings
I explored this concept of angelic heroes in a previous series which is why I decided to put wings on Superman. And Wonder Woman as well. Her wings were different from the golden eagle armor costume. Even tho one rendering made them look like it. The intention was angelic wings. I extended the wings to bring in the Greek myth of Pegasus in a later series. (The AI struggles with it in some cases so I made edits as best as possible).
Let me be clear, I don’t see Superman or Wonder Woman as evil beings. The wings truly represented them as angels that save and help mankind. Which is why when I saw that concept being copied on IG by other AI peeps, they weren’t doing it because of this reason but because it looked cool and would garner them likes and clicks. I found it especially repulsive when they hashtagged their work with “SuperLucifer”. I hope you understand why I was pissed. But IG is rampant with intellectual theft. Heck Mark stole the idea for FB so this spirit carries on. Reddit has numerous horror stories. I've done makeup blogging and photography work, so I have horror stories of my own.
But back to why DC dropped SuperWonder. The Nephilim myth carries weight in popular culture. Kal and Diana almost mirror a “Zeus and Hera” dynamic. In one way, yes they are like gods but you don’t want them as that couple. Zeus was a philanderer.* Which is another aspect to this why you see people say they don't like it because they would be overpowered. Humanity at it's core is selfish and easily threatened. People who say stuff like this, whether consciously or subconsciously see these characters as "golem" meaning they are mythical beings that should serve humankind only. That they should be centered around a single human love interest or they will go off their leash, off the rails and destroy everybody. It's a strange fantasy. Almost like a psycotic desire to be saved and destroyed by the same superhero. We really have issues with ourselves. Frankly I can understand this, the world is so messed up. The Nephilim and Damsel-in-Distress is a bubble that people want to run to. They don't want mature stories. And DC isn't capable of that. They have a formula like a cookie or fried chicken recipe and they don't want to muck it up. In the case of Gunn, they want Marvel's recipe but I don't think the seasonings pair well with the offerings of DC. Time will tell but the whole thing stinks. Trust your nose guys. Some of you are hip to senses like smell. :D
* I also should say that being the SMWW pair are equals, they could be new Zeus and Hera creating their own new pantheon of gods. But there can be so much more to that. They really are made for each other.
Also wanted to add that again DC isn’t as creative as they think they are and are scared of this couple. Easily manipulated by rabid "Nephil-Damsel" fans on X. Every time I look at my feed, it's back and forth war between Snyder and Gunn fans. Knowing that they just do that to farm impressions to get paid makes it all the more vile when you look at it. It would take time to shift the general population over to seeing SuperWonder as a viable couple. It's so ingrained in the movie and comics world that when you see Superman, you automatically think of Lois Lane. Many consider it abhorrent to think of this character with anybody else. So much so that they've lifted Miss Lane up to a level of godhood. This Nephilim trope also applies to Wonderbat. Bruce is a mortal albeit heroic man. Diana is a demigod/goddess. That doesn't work either because I've explored explained that in another post.
Really the only way is Kingdom Come but with who we have at the helm of DC, I wouldn’t be holding my breathe.
I've worked at Cons. I've seen the people who create the comics and the general vibe. Our whole society is shifting into dark areas and comics reflects that. We've gotten The Boys, Brightburn and even the Snyderverse is considered "dark", so it's not surprising that the Gunnverse is promising to lift everyone out of that abymssal void to a form of inspirational, fun heroism. Snyder should have finished his verse, it's just going to. be another gaping hole like SuperWonder is. Marvel and many other cherished properties are experiencing an erosion in interest and fatigue from the general audience.
There would need to be a serious paradigm shift to get people to see SuperWonder. Part of the reason why I did an exploratory in the AI with Diana and Clark which we have never seen in any live-action. And I say see SuperWonder because I was a Superman-Lois fan, I consumed, watched repeatedly all the shows and movies. (Except for Smallville and new show Clois show, couldn’t get into that). I immersed myself into that but felt that something was amiss. I don't even remember when I saw Superman and Wonder Woman together but it clicked and made complete sense. Like scales coming off the eyes. Seriously. I respect differences. My daughter isn't a SuperWonder fan, but she supports me and will wear my art. It would be great to call a truce between the two ships but that might take a while. That takes maturity and right now there isn't much of that going around.
Until next time… ✌️
