Everyone's eyes were upon Ras and Rosario as the pair passed on their way to the dance floor. Rosario was a prestigious dance partner, of course. [...] [...]As they danced, Ras moved closer to Rosario, tilting her head to show off her neckline and allow the Princess glimpses of her skin; shifting so that the other got a rather good look at Ras’ pale visage. Rosario’s eyes widened in surprise, and there was a faint blush on her face; she was surprised, but altogether flattered at Ras’ movements.

Another Ras x Rosario commission, this one drawn by @pearl-jam-bud! They were so lovely to work with, and I appreciate them so much~!

Omg I just had a great thought. Alex Demers, Johnathan West, and Courtney Alana Ward, and Mason Conrad. I don’t think they’ve listened to much, if any, of the podcast. Get them together and Summerspell the group. You could even find a movie where a main character(s) betrays the group and get some of the og cast thrown in there to really throw them off the scent.

Happy pride month to my favorite royal brat 💜

Javi is a character from Royal Affairs by @hpowellsmith !! Give the story a read it's so good !!!!

[hpowellsmith]

my CDLC mc does legitimately love Rosario, but um, would Javi find it better or worse that she started pursuing this relationship not over wealth or status or anything like that but because Gonzalez told her to, and she implicitly trusts Gonzalez completely.

Haha, I love it!

Javi would be judgemental both of the CDLC MC and of Gonzalez because Gonzalez is a goofy jock and Javi does not respect these things...

However: their attitude might shift from suspicion to eyerolling to grudging tolerance to... friendship and respect, maybe, over time!

Brisa de verano.

Porque te quiero.

Y tal vez no sea la única vez que me pases.

Porque llega diciembre y nada cambia

Pero todo duele, no como siempre, en ocasiones diferente.

Eres como la brisa de verano, a veces calurosa, a veces me refrescas, pero de alguna u otra forma te espero.

Y espero

Y espero

Hasta que ya no.

Porque se siente diferente, porque se siente doloroso

Pero en el fondo sigue esperando a que esa brisa de verano aún no se desvanezca.

Pero en el fondo sigue esperando que esa brisa de verano rose su piel y mueva su alma.

Eres como la brisa de verano, a veces calurosa, a veces me refrescas, pero de alguna u otra forma siento que te espero.

Y espero

Y espero

Hasta que...

THE TWO FACES OF SOCIAL PLATFORMS (Good &Bad)

Youth's wellbeing and mental health are influenced by social media in ways that are good and bad.Social media offers numerous advantages to youth, including the opportunity for creative expression, educational possibilities, and the chance to interact with others. However, social media can also have negative impacts on the mental and physical well-being of students.

Why is social media good?

We have more connectivity and convenience thanks to social media, such as:

• keeping in touch with loved ones all across the world via email, SMS, FaceTime, etc.

• Easy access to research and information

• Bill payment and banking at our fingertips

• Participation in social responsibility (fundraising, promoting social awareness, giving a voice) and online learning, work skills, and content discovery (on YouTube).

• Powerful promotional tools

• Possibilities for working remotely.

Therefore, technology and social media make our lives easier, but we should use them in moderation. Social media can be beneficial, but teenagers should trust their own feelings and call out a trusted adult if they ever feel uneasy about something they read or see there. This person could be a parent, a teacher, or another trusted adult. Social media bullying, threats, and violence are all indications that the individual who did it needs support.

Why is social media bad and what is the disadvantages of using social media?

•Lacks Emotional Connection

•Gives People a License to be Hurtful

•Decreases Face-to-Face Communication Skills

•Conveys Inauthentic Expression of Feelings

•Diminishes Understanding and Thoughtfulness

•Causes Face-to-Face Interactions to Feel Disconnected

•Facilitates Laziness

•Creates a Skewed Self-Image

•Reduces Family Closeness

•Causes Distractions

With all of its benefits, the nature of social media presents a range of potential issues.

Online vs. reality: Social media itself is not the problem. It is the way people use it in place of actual communication and in-person socializing. "Friends" on social media may not actually be friends and may even be strangers. Increased usage. The more time spent on social media, the more it can lead to cyberbullying, social anxiety, depression, and exposure to content that is not age-appropriate. Social Media is addicting. When you’re playing a game or accomplishing a task, you seek to do it as well as you can. Once you succeed, your brain will give you a dose of dopamine and other happiness hormones, making you happy. The same mechanism functions when you post a picture to Instagram or Facebook. Once you see all the notifications for likes and positive comments popping up on your screen, you’ll subconsciously register them as a reward. But that’s not all; social media is full of mood-modifying experiences and self-image issues. Social media sites provide tools that allow people to earn others’ approval for their appearance and the possibility to compare themselves to others. It can be associated with body image concerns. The "selfieholics" and people who spend most of their time posting and scrolling are the ones most vulnerable to this.

In fact, most college girls who use Facebook at least five times a day are likely to link their self-worth to their looks. That doesn’t mean that the main problem is social media; it only provides a medium for it, which further elevates the problem. It also promotes the same sort of behavior in others.
