Anxiety: A Stammering Adrien AU Moment

Based on this AU

Marinette is trying to get some sleep, but an all-too-familiar feeling won't seem to let her.

Voice: Psssst. PSSSSSSSST! Marinette! Marinette, wake up!

Marinette: *snorts and jolts awake* Huh?

*Sitting at the end of the bed is a tiny, red, transparent version of herself*

Marinette: Oh... *sigh* Hi, anxiety.

Anxiety: Glad you're up. I just wanted to make sure you considered everything that could happen tomorrow, the day after that, the week after that, and..

Marinette: *grumpy* Anxiey, it's too late for this. *hides her head under her pillow*

Anxiety: It's never too late to consider the future. And you should be prepared for the worst. A lot can happen. Like Adrien could get in a terrible fencing accident. Marinette: Stop it...

Anxiety: Chloe could suddenly decide she wants to be a bully again.

Marinette: Stop...

Anxiety: Alya and the girls might not like you anymore. Or Hawkmoth, ooooh, Hawkmoth especially. He could...

Marinette: *sits up with her eyes shut* Stop it! Stop, stop, stop! *opens them up to see anxiety is gone, but Enzo, Lulu, and Tikki are there* I was talking in my sleep again, wasn't I?

Tikki: Yup.

Enzo: *Meow*

Lulu: *whines*

Marinette: *groans and hugs her knees*

Enzo: *rubs against her and purrs*

Lulu: *licks her hand*

Marinette: *looks at her pets* *sigh* Thanks, you guys.

Tikki: *carrying a glass of water* Your anxiety is wrong, Marinette. Whatever you're worried about, you can handle it.

Marinette: *drinks the water* Thanks, Tikki.

🎆 GALLACRAFTS SECOND ANNIVERSARY PROJECT (& Theme 21)🎆

It's MAY now! Which means, the time has come

The Mission (should you choose to accept it):

the 2nd anniversary project is to make crafts which will be turned (if you wish) onto Redbubble merch (t-shirts, mugs, stickers oh my!) that you and anyone else who wishes can buy and wear and use and love every day 🥰

here's how it will work:

The Why: basically every month we have people asking for crafts to become merch, so for this project we thought WHY NOT?!?!

The What: the theme for May will be THROWBACK THEME 2, meaning you can revisit any of the previous themes from two years of Gallacrafts

The How: it's a COLLABORATIVE project if you want it to be, so grab a partner or a group now

The When: posting day will be Sunday 21 May

The Where: we'll work our magic to set up a Redbubble store in June with your designs plus some special anniversary designs we'll put together. the store will be open all of July which is our second anniversary month!

we'll do reminders in May but for now put on your thinking caps and grab a partner or group! -> This is the reminder!

there's also this month's theme This Kiss to keep you busy in the meantime 😘

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't have anyone to collab with, what do I do?

We're running a matchmaking service so send Cherry @too-schoolforcool or Donna @sleepyfacetoughguy a DM if you'd like some help, or alternatively come hang over on the Gallacrafts Discord.

Also, if you'd prefer to work alone, feel free!

What were the past themes?

Fuck U-Up

Breakfast Boys

Choose your own adventure

Family's Family

Secret Santavich

🖕🖕 And especially fuck you

C'mere

This Kiss

(psssst you can also check out past themes on the Gallacrafts Blog here!)

I want to participate in this month's theme but don't want my craft on merch, what do I do?

Absolutely no problem! Either contact one of the admins (Cherry or Donna) & let them know, or state in your post whether you wanna opt out. We'll also be double-checking with each crafter who participates that they want to be-merched.

Are you making money off this?

No way. We're able to set the profit margin on Redbubble at zero - so you'll be able to buy the merch at the lowest possible price and we definitely DO NOT make a cut. We'll take screenshots of the process of setting up the store for transparency and accountability.

I don't make digital art, how can my craft be made into merch?

we get it, we're physical crafters ourselves! crafters like us might need to think outside the box a bit on this one

Maybe you might want your Galla-cookie recipe on a magnet?

Maybe you want to make the rooster mug and then put a pic of that on a mug (mug-ception)

The Discord is a great place to ask for help or incubate ideas 💡

undertale good so obligatory kirby au (psssst, it’s transparent :)c )

info under the cut

a long time ago, waddle dees and dreamlanders lived in harmony on the surface until a war separated the two races - and the dreamlanders were banished underground upon their loss

waddle dees are known for being more plentiful and having stronger souls than dreamlanders. there is a variant of dreamlanders known as ‘boss dreamlanders’ which have slightly stronger souls. all dreamlanders turn to a sparkling dust upon death.

the protag waddle dee - deelight - is a lil nb waddle kid who fell into the underground and seeks to get out while finding its secrets.

lovely is a friendly dreamstalk flower who deelight first finds in the underground - but they aren’t as friendly as they seem...

dedede is the kickass bird dad who aims to protect any waddle dees from his ex. he makes the best shortcake in the world!!

meta knight is one of the knights hired by francisca to patrol for any waddle dees who have fallen into the underground. he made a promise to a pun-loving voice not to hurt any waddle dees.

galacta knight is a knight-in-training who dreams of seeing a real waddle dee and gaining the recognition of the queen. he’s taken it upon himself to look after meta knight bc meta’s bad at cooking and sleeping.

francisca is the ironically somewhat hotheaded leader of the royal knights, aiming to hunt down any waddle dees. she’s ‘training’ galacta knight (teaching him how to make scrambled eggs) bc she thinks he’s too soft. her two sisters are her second in command.

susie is the narcissistic royal scientist who absolutely adores the singing android programs and has made many a cover. she’s hardcore crushing on the leader of the royal knights and the queen, being reduced to a blushing mess when talking about them.

queen sectonia (who i haven’t drawn rip) is the reclusive queen hoping to free dreamlanders from the underground as an act of revenge on the waddle dees who sealed them away. she is the ex of dedede, being forcibly married bc of their high statuses. she wants to see her children again.

more spoilery territory here for undertale uvu

its revealed underneath susie’s lab that she had been working to revive fallen dreamlanders using a substance called ‘hope’, modeled after the innate HOPE waddle dees have.

kirby is the sweet adoptive child of dedede and sectonia who was tragically attacked and killed after trying to take their brother to see the dreamstalk flowers on the surface. they were ‘revived’ as lovely, lacking emotions and gaining HOPE. they were super friendly and a bit of a crybaby in life.

bandana waddle dee is dedede and sectonia’s adopted son after he fell in the underground. he was soft-spoken, a bit of a prankster and wanted to free the dreamlanders by any means necessary. after his death, he likes to follow around any waddle dees that fall and give them guidance.

if the player does a genocide route, bandana appears to them at the end and asks them to reset the world and bring his family back. if they say no, he will take their soul and do it anyway leaving small consequences as a reminder of their actions. if they say yes, he thanks them but still leaves consequences.

generallkenobi replied to your post “psssst………….if u……..were a superhero……..what kind of superhero…….would...”

literally all i want are gigantic fucking feathered wings tbh. but that'd be inconvenient for day to day life (and also secret identities) so I'd want like ghostly semi-transparent iridescent ones that can poof out on command because then I'd be able to FLY and that'd be sick as fuck. And I can already do archery and swordfighting (not..... super well but I'd train) so some light-based weapons would round that shit out for that Full Paladin Aesthetic :D

.... actually telekinesis would be cool too. and now we're veering straight into "zoe just wants to be a flying jedi" territory and honestly? it's true

zoe ur LITERALLY already a superhero you’re already on hawkeye’s level ur already there i cant believe u

also: that would indeed be an incredible aesthetic holy fuck. cool translucent wings????? dragonfly zoe here 2 save the day.........zoe casts necrotic shroud...........you absolutely are racing towards "zoe just wants to be a flying jedi" territory at MAXIMUM speed and honestly????? valid u deserve it

Psssst! Tumblr friends!

been a while, eh? my love for tumblr is slowly returning as I’m working to recalibrate and re-direct back to my true path. I quit my job (most recently I was the content strategist and producer of NBCU’s Erase The Hate campaign) and bought a plane ticket to the asias to eat, pray, chole. I send you digital affection from the mountains in Quebec. please hug me back and join me on a quest for love, light and truth this 2019. this post is less vague and cryptic — and though I am always raw and honest with you, I’m trying to be just a bit more transparent. the sad lately has become all too familiar and I’ve had enough of it. instead of submitting, I’m actively taking charge and countering the affects through adventures and fresh experience (new perspectives). it’s a slow return but everything is starting to feel right again. in case you’re wondering, I’m happy to know you and I’ve appreciated seeing your handles pop up in my feed over the years. it’s been a trip, eh? thank you so much for existing. I’m so hopeful for this new year. xo, the gaysian

Serendipity (chapter 1)

Dedicated to my bias, Kim Seokjin, and my lovely twt mutual, Tatiana.

This is my first ever attempt at writing fan fiction. Tell me what you think of it! :)

Genre: fluff; college Seokjin

Pairing: Seokjin x reader

Word count: 1,654 (If I counted right)

“Y/N!”  you hear an overly enthusiastic voice call you. You didn’t need to turn around and look to see who it was. You knew that voice very well. It was Jin.  Before you could even turn around, he was already beside you, his right arm dangling over your shoulder.

“Someone’s excited to go to school,” you looked up at Jin to see a huge, goofy smile plastered to his face. You can’t help but smile back.

“Well, I am excited to try the cafeteria’s new menu,” he looked at you, his eyes sparkling.

“Oh my God, Jin,” you rolled your eyes at him. “Go ask the lunch lady out.”

He laughed at your suggestion. “I’ve been thinking about that, actually,” he said.

Both of you continued to walk to your university, laughing at Jin’s obsessive love for food that comes third only to his love for acting and music. That’s how you two got to know each other.

As you reached the entrance to your department, he said, “well, I’ll see you later.” He ruffled your hair, something he knows annoys you, and ran backwards to the direction of his department’s building with a mischievous grin.

You stare at his retreating figure, shaking your head and remembering how you two had met.  You were both grade 12 students taking the entrance examinations in one of the most prestigious arts academies in your country. You were seated beside each other during the practical test, both nervous. Then both of you whipped out your phones and started using the same piano app to vocalize at the same time that you looked at each other and broke out into a nervous fit of laughter.  You wished each other the best of luck, but the guy actually waited for you to finish your test so he can have someone to eat lunch with. You learned that he was applying for a major in theater arts, which more or less meant he had to be able to act, sing, and dance.  You told him that you aspired to become the country’s best composer and producer. Then the rest, as they say, was history.

You were still looking at his broad-shouldered figure when the bell rang. “Aish! I’m late!” and you rushed to your first class.

**

The morning flew by in a blur of events. Your classes finished without any of the awkward incidents that usually happen during the first day of classes, mainly because you have been classmates with everyone since your second year at the university. You knew each other well, but of course there were people whom you preferred the company of. They were Yoongi and Tatiana.

Yoongi was one of those people who exuded an aura of mystery and maturity up until you get to know them better. Tatiana was your batch’s loveliest face. She is, perhaps, also the person with the loveliest personality in the whole campus, too. She was just either too shy to make friends, or she preferred the loyalty of a few. Maybe both. Nevertheless, your day would be incomplete without Jin and these two people.

It was now lunch time, and you sat with Yoongi and Tatiana in your usual spot, waiting for Jin and his friends to join you.

“What do you think of our professor in Musical Organization?” Tatiana asked the two of you.

“Hmm, Prof. Miyazawa seems to be strict but nice. I don’t know,” you said. “What about you, Yoongi?”

Yoongi shrugged and replied, “She seems to be someone Jace would not want to cross. Or next year would be his 6th year in college.”

You and Tatiana start laughing at Yoongi’s usual savagery.  He shows his gummy smile to both of you, probably liking the fact that he always makes you and Tati laugh. Just then, you notice that something catches his eyes and you look behind you to see Jin and his friends Namjoon and Hoseok approaching your table.

“hey,” you greet the boys.

Yoongi nods at the boys as usual.  Hoseok, as always, was a little too happy at seeing the three of you. He sits on Yoongi’s right, while Namjoon sits on the other side.  Jin slides into the empty seat beside you so that you are now between Jin and Tatiana.

Your group proceeded to exchange stories about the first day of classes. Hoseok animatedly chatted about the new boy in the dance curriculum, Jungkook.

“They said he is just 19 years old. Boy, he must be really good to get accepted into 4th year of the dance curriculum. I can’t wait to see him dance,” Hoseok told you, Yoongi, and Jin.

Meanwhile, Namjoon was busy talking to Tatiana about his music production class. You sneaked a glance at the two and saw that they were, as usual, trapped in their own little bubble. You can’t recall how many times you asked Namjoon to make a move on your friend.  He would just always dismiss the idea of him being with her as far-fetched. If only he knew how into him Tati was. You rolled your eyes at them.

“You want kimchi?” Jin suddenly asked you, waving his kimchi-filled chopsticks at you, effectively distracting you from Tatiana and Namjoon.  

“Oooh. Kimchi!” you replied before opening your mouth so Jin can feed you.

“I don’t even know why I bother asking,” he laughed as he fed you.

“Yah, yah!” Hoseok shouted all of a sudden. “Why are you always like that? Stop being so sweet to each other. You’re even worse than Namjoon and Tatiana! Right, Yoongi?”

Namjoon was startled. “What was that?”

“Yeah, get a room, all of you. I want to be alone with Hoseok.” Yoongi replied to which Hoseok laughed hysterically. It didn’t take long before the whole table laughed with him.  You, laughed along, albeit a little nervously.  What was that supposed to mean?

Hoseok’s comment didn’t stop Jin from feeding you again, though. In fact, it seems like he was enjoying it. As a result, Hoseok started to lovingly feed Yoongi some of his food, too, making the table quake with laughter.

Lunch eventually ended. Before you went back to your classes, however, Jin turned to you and said, “See you at the gate later.” And before you even had the chance to respond, he flashed you a dazzling smile, stood up, and went back to his department together with Hoseok and Namjoon, leaving you, Tatiana, and Yoongi.  The three of you then went back to your building.

You thought about what Hoseok said about you and Jin.  Has your friendship always been like that? You tried to recall all the moments you spent with Jin, and you realize that Hobi was right. When you first met, Jin waited for you to finish your auditions. When you finally got accepted and enrolled in the university, you were with Jin, too.  And despite you being in two different departments and coming from different parts of the city, you always went to school and got back home with him.  

You were still deep in your thoughts  when Tatiana asked you why you were quiet.  “Hey,” she said. “What’s wrong?”

“Oh, uh. Nothing. Nothing’s wrong.” You replied.

“Are you sure? It doesn’t seem like nothing’s wrong.” She peered into your eyes.  “Hmm, I think it’s about what Hobi said, isn’t it?”

“What? No, of course not!” you denied. You weren’t ready to talk about it. Yet.

Tati pouted a little. “Okay. Well, just tell me when you’re ready.” she rushed to Yoongi’s side and they started to talk about

Ugh. Am I that transparent?

**

True to his word, Kim Seokjin was waiting for you at the school gate. You turned to Yoongi and Tatiana.

“Guys—“ you started, but Tatiana cut you off.

“Go,” she waved you off, smiling a little. “Jin’s waiting.” Yoongi waved goodbye, too, and with that, you ran to Jin.

He saw you even before you got within one mile.  Again, he flashed you that smile.  Inexplicable as it seems, though, your heart skipped a beat when he smiled. What’s up with me today? You thought.

“I thought I felt an earthquake, but it’s just you.” Jin said.

“Wow, what a way to say hello to your best friend,” you said as you hit his arm. Jin just laughed at you.

“Come on, let’s go. I want some ice cream.” He said.

“me, too! Your treat?” you asked.

“I’ll think about it,” he responded.

He got you the ice cream anyway. 

**

That night, before you went to bed, you ran the events of the day in your head like a true introvert. When you thought about Hoseok’s comment on how sweet you and Jin were again, you felt your cheeks get hot. Why am I like this? Jin’s my best friend. We’ve been friends for 4 years now. Why this? Why does Hoseok’s comment leave me flustered?

Just as you were thinking of the possibility of you liking Jin, your phone beeped.

               Jin: Psssst

               You: Psssst yourself

              Jin: What sound do cats make?

You rolled your eyes. By now, you just learned to go with whatever Kim Seokjin thinks of.

               You: they meow.

               Jin: What sound do dogs make?

               You: They bark.

               Jin: What sound do rabbits make?

               You: Um, they go, “eh? What’s up, doc?”

               Jin: I don’t want to be friends with you anymore.

You laughed at Jin’s childishness.

               You: Haha. No matter how lame your jokes are, you’re still my best friend.

               Jin: Some best friend you are, ruining my joke.

               You: You know you still love me :P

               Jin: Am I that easy to read, Y/N?

You frowned. What was that supposed to mean? You tried to think of a witty response to his message, but settled with just dismissing it as him being too sleepy.

               You: I think you’re texting me while you’re asleep. XD Sleep well, Kim Seokjin

               Jin: Haha. Fine, I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night, Y/N.

This was going to be a long year. You could already tell.

Paid Partnership Tag is here in Singapore!

New Post has been published on https://popularchips.com/dailies/paid-partnership-tag-is-here-in-singapore/

Paid Partnership Tag is here in Singapore!

#Sponsored #Ad – These are some of the ways influencers used to specify that their Instagram posts are being paid for by brands that they work with. While the earlier hashtags are straightforward, #Partners and #Ambassadors can be rather difficult to determine if the content has been reimbursed.

That’s when paid partnership tags came in a few months back. These tags are being used by influencers to officially declare the monetary contract/ remunerated relationship involved for their Instagram content. The tags are located directly under the username, together with the geo-tag. The same tags can be used in Instagram stories, imagery and video posts.

The first test of paid partnership tags was rolled out to a selected group of top influencers like @DavidBeckham, @SongOfStyle, @NewYorkCity, and @ImJennim.

This year, consumer protection bodies in the UK and US are increasing their crackdown on Instagram influencers who are not indicating their paid contracts with brands. What started it all was most likely the Kardashian sisters who failed to disclose that certain posts on their social media were advertisements. Right now, the Federal Trade Commission is keeping a close watch and have sent several letters to influencers and marketers to make the appropriate declaration.

As a step to bring transparency and consistency to Branded Content for creators (celebrities, influencers, public figures, publishers) and business partners, we foresee that this feature will soon become mandatory for all paid content on Instagram.

  PAID PARTNERSHIP TAGS HERE IN SINGAPORE

Singapore may be small but we’re definitely quick in picking up the latest trends – even for the adoption of paid partnership tags on Instagram. Just roughly 3 months since the first test of the tags, we are already seeing some of our top celebrities and influencers using these tags to disclose their compensated collaboration with brands.

Finally done with all my meetings and keeping track of my time with my @calvinklein whirl watch. Psssst, they are having a roadshow on 20th – 26th November 2017 at Bugis Junction, do check it out x #ckminute #ckwjmoments

Right now, we only see these celebrities and top influencers using the tags but we will definitely see this being rolled out and used more frequently in the near future, in Singapore, and around the world. While some rejoice over the clarity, some may find that the tags are too “obvious” and may dilute the quality of the content.

For the latter, we beg to differ.

The extra clarity not only gives the audience more certainty in the content, it gives added assurance and credits to both the brands and influencers who co-created the post seen. Now, the task is on brands and influencers to better understand their audience and continuously improve the quality of their content.

We are in full support of the paid partnership tags. Afterall, influencer marketing, just like any other form of marketing, builds on transparency and credibility in order to build a long lasting relationship with the end consumers.
