THE IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS COMMUNICATION AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ON IM4U AGENCY EXAMPLE
In the dynamic landscape of business, successful enterprises understand that behind every company, there is a person – an individual with unique aspirations, goals, and preferences. Regardless of a company’s size or stature, effective communication with partners is pivotal in fostering strong relationships that drive growth and success.
Building fruitful partnerships hinges on effective business communications. When businesses prioritize transparent, respectful, and supportive communication, they pave the way for mutual understanding and trust. This fosters an environment where both parties are aligned with shared objectives, leading to enhanced collaboration and shared successes.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS WITH PARTNERS
A successful business is more than just products and services; it thrives on relationships. Effective communication with partners lies at the heart of creating thriving collaborations.
Transparent Communication: A Bridge of Trust
Open and transparent communication is the cornerstone of trust in any partnership. At IM4U, we believe in cultivating an environment where all stakeholders can voice their thoughts, ideas, and concerns freely. This creates a shared understanding, fosters trust, and paves the way for fruitful cooperation.
Empathy in Business: Forging Lasting Bonds
Empathy plays a pivotal role in building and sustaining strong relationships. We actively seek to understand the needs and aspirations of our partners. By placing ourselves in their shoes, we create authentic connections based on compassion and mutual support.
Embracing Challenges: Opportunities for Growth
Every business faces challenges, but we see challenges as opportunities for growth. Instead of shying away from them, we embrace them head-on, working collaboratively with our partners to find innovative solutions.
HOW TO BUILD STRONG RELATIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS
As businesses expand internationally, the significance of cultural intelligence cannot be underestimated. Understanding and appreciating diverse cultures is key to successful international relations.
Cultural Intelligence: Embracing Diversity
In an increasingly diverse world, cultural intelligence is essential. Our Digital Marketing Agency celebrates the richness of global cultures and incorporates diverse perspectives into our strategies. This approach sparks creativity and drives innovation, ensuring we stay at the forefront of our industry.
Language Bridges: Overcoming Barriers
Language barriers can hinder effective communication, especially in international partnerships. We invest in multilingual talent and leverage cutting-edge translation tools to ensure seamless interactions and a truly global approach.
Leveraging Technology for Virtual Collaboration
Technology plays a pivotal role in modern international relations. We harness advanced communication tools to facilitate virtual collaboration, bringing us closer to our partners across the globe.
IM4U SUPPORT FOR MIGWAY FERRARI CHALLENGE: A TESTAMENT TO BUILDING BUSINESS RELATIONS
The Ferrari Challenge North America at Sonoma, held from July 19 to July 23, 2023, witnessed an exceptional performance by our client, David Voronin. David secured the 1st place, achieving the best results in both time and points. Our CEO, Oleksandr, currently in Sacramento, attended the event to cheer for David, for whom we had been diligently working on a Digital Marketing Plan. As David stood on the podium, our CEO’s presence as both a spectator and a supporter sent a powerful message of our agency’s genuine care and unwavering support for our partners. We were thrilled to share in David’s victory and extend our heartfelt congratulations for his remarkable success. The experience epitomized the strength of our business relations, where mutual support and collaboration lay the groundwork for triumph.
CONCLUSION In the dynamic world of business, it’s essential to remember that every organization is ultimately driven by individuals. Whether it’s a multinational corporation or a small startup, business deals are made between people. At IM4U Digital Marketing Agency, we firmly believe in the significance of human-centered communication. Our approach centers around mutual respect, genuine support, and a shared vision for success. We take great pride in supporting our clients, and witnessing their achievements, like David’s triumphant victory in the Ferrari Challenge, fills us with joy and pride. At IM4U, we understand that true success lies in fostering meaningful connections and providing unwavering support to our partners every step of the way.

Thinking about Andreil in that bus to Binghamton and just telling each other stories about their lives and Neil talking about the places he’s been while they watch the road pass by
It gets me because. Neil has this absolutely crazy life of being on the run and all around the world and it’s brutal and it’s hurt him so badly, but it was life and that means there was still mundanity to it. Little moments here and there that were maybe a little less overshadowed by the general menace of his situation (even when most of them were) that he can look back on and remember. Routines he used to have as the people he was pretending to be, living where he did, that were his norm for a while even as he was always changing again. There’s such a vulnerability in that, because yes, you can know the overarching points and general idea of him as a runaway, but it’s viscerally different to hear Neil tell it and speak fondly of back alleys and motel rooms he only spent a few days in at most yet still remembers.
He’ll tell Andrew about all the bad stuff, felt the relief of not having to edit it beyond his mom being alive (at this point in time), but in doing so he also talks about all these other things that (unbeknownst to him) are proof of life in the sense that they make him so very tangibly real by adding context and feeling and insight into his life and character. And that’s. That’s somehow more intimate even than sharing the violence.
#thinking about what Neil’s life must’ve been like in the Before makes me a little insane#not just Millport but also all those other boys he played at being#all the little temporary lives he must’ve built and uprooted though none of them ever had more than shallow roots back then#he must have so much knowledge about the most random seeming of things just by lived experience#I think part of the intimacy here also comes from the fact that Neil could literally die from being tracked#and yet he gives Andrew a part of the path he took in life#especially knowing that it’s all the little things about Neil and preferences he can’t quite hide that his Foxes hoard about him#they make him more real and tangible bc it’s the only confirmed insight on him really via his behaviors that aren’t staged#and he hands such a wealth of information over to Andrew like that with no worry in the world about it and enjoys that talking#I’m unwell#aftg#all for the game#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil#the foxhole court

it's so hard to accept that so many of the people sharing your space, breathing your air, passing by you on the street... so many of them are willing to throw you under the bus for a limp dicked promise of a """greater economy.""" sure, they smile when they see you and they don't shoot you on sight, but all of the non cishet white male traits you have, they hate those. they're scared of you in the abstract. and they're willing to gamble your life over their own insecurity and incorrigible hatred without so much as a fucking acknowledgment of their own depravity.
#insights#this world does not feel like a place worth living in most of the time#but i think i've changed in that instead of wanting to kill myself over it#i kind of just want to kill everyone else. all of the people who are contributing to this toxic cesspit#for legal reasons this is a joke but the rage and disbelief and scorn at american stupidity is very very real#i can not live here anymore.

realizing I have a weakness for the "give Heavily Traumatized Guy a surrogate daughter/little sister and they each learn to grow and heal with the help of the other" trope
#which in itself is not always healthy and i don't want to lean into the whole 'child has to become a therapist for their parent' negativity#but if it's played with healthy boundaries im all over it 😭#or at the very least healthy boundaries are developed along the way#we've got skye and evyr#both were alone and she both gives him conpany and a reason to live#while he teaches her survival tricks and helps protect her#sahota and noor would be a much needed found family for each other#nabi and mel are the sibling variant but she helps him with emotional recovery and stopping blaming himself#and he gives her more insight into the real world since jin tries to shelter her#meta#calico is befuddled#tropes#this originates from when i was a kid#i was the Oldest Child so my bedtime daydreams were becoming an adpotive little sister to obi wan kenobi and helping him on missions skfbjfk

At the bus stop one time there was a gaggle of preschoolers waiting to catch the bus for a field trip day, and someone walked past with a couple of friendly little dogs, to great general delight.
But after a little bit, the dogs were getting overwhelmed, and the preschoolers were gently coaxed to back off so the person with the dogs could continue on. Specifically, one of the preschool teachers said, "Sometimes, when you're small, being surrounded by big people can be a bit scary and overwhelming. Even if they are friendly."
This was recieved as great wisdom: after all, the preschoolers were also small, and understood how scary and overwhelming big people could be! And the dogs were indeed even smaller than the preschoolers, so it made sense.
What was funny and charming was that, upon absorbing and reflecting on this wisdom, they all felt the need to tell it to one another. In tones of great insight, they turned to one another and said, "Did you know? Sometimes when you are small, being surrounded by big people can be scary and overwhelming! Even if they are friendly!" Back and forth, without any particular concern that they were all saying the same thing. Have reached comprehension of an insight, it must be shared!
I must say that this behavior is less charming in tumblr users than in preschoolers. Not least because tumblr users, having gained a little analytical skill to misuse, insist on Summarizing and Generalizing and Unifying the insights they repeat, quickly turning any interesting new information into formulaic dogmatic mush.
#i made the mistake of looking in the notes of the beach sand post i reblogged to see if anyone else had interesting comments#And the rate at which it went from like#1) person states with moderate confidence an opinion based on their personal observations#2) multiple people reply with “wow thats so insightful!” (aka it aligns with my preconceived notions of how things work)#3) someone else adds additional personal observations which are not really relevant but which can be absorbed into the narrative#4) people start outright stating the underlying belief on which this bias is constructed as if it were a fresh insight#5) general derisive attitude towards people who haven't seen the Obviously Correct solution to this complex real world problem yet#It's very.......#It's not like it's a high stakes post but it's such a microcosm of the whole dogmatic phenomenon#Also this js a more specific gripe to My Field or w/e#But the degree to which people react to the problems caused by the whole “Control of Nature” era of engineering#with this equally reductive “Nature will Fix Everything” type of attitude#Is sooooo frustrating.#Yes a great many of our current problems could have been avoided if we had not made massive changes to ecosystem processes on the assumptio#That they were simple and we understood them. And that they would respond in predictable ways.#the simplicity in retrospect of “wow we Should Not have done that” does not mean that they are simple to undo!#You can't go back in time. You can't turn back the clock on chaotic processes#Which is. Almost every process ever.#Restoration is hard! Returning to previous regimes of sediment or flooding or fire is tricky and full of foibles!#Moving towards a future which doesn't suck as much even if the past cant be recreated is also uncertain and difficult!#It's frustrating to see people act all high and mighty about how they Respect Nature unlike whoever is making all these decisions#When their understanding of the natural processes in question is AS simplistic as the people who caused the whole mess back in 1910 or w/e#Like I'm not saying there's not bad interests standing in the way of functional restoration on all levels#That's very much a fight to be fought.#But looking at that fight-in-process and saying “wow none of you Respect Nature like me uwu let nature fix it”#Is.#Ugh.

everyone posting their unpopular opinions abt wha on twt and i disagree with them all… literally zero faults in the manga for me😭😭
#the only one i agree w is kinda the would like faster pacing but even then#i adore all the slow pacing too and the care given to the side characters and their stories#like shirahama is obviously going to go grand for the main characters and the plot is clearly cultivating into one large climax#but i like that it’s taking things slowly ?#never rly liked stories that would have ignore side characters it always makes the world building feel so incomplete#whereas witch hat is so immersive BECAUSE of how real all side characters feel#alongside the depth of the mcs#the writing is so good… world building is so interesting …#idk lowkey feels like people are making issues out of non-issues looool have yet to see a criticism i agree w lsndhekfndn#saw someone say that chapter of oru’s daily life as a commissioner was not needed but lord do i disagree it’s such a good chapter!!!#gives us so much insight into who oru is as a character outside of qifrey and the atelier#makes us more attached to him bec we know him better making qifrey wiping his memories all the more tragic#why are people so against slice of life chapters!! sometimes slow pacing is gooodddddddd#i wanna know and get attached to the characters i read abt man

never going to get past matrix resurrections choosing to make neo someone with a distorted perception of reality being gaslit and manipulated into compliance by his therapist, i’m so normal about it
#N posts stuff#i’ve written a fic about this like. three times but i keep losing the final draft bc i get too nervous about posting it#anyway there’s no way to interpret neo any differently imo#even tho he’s ultimately right about the world being a simulation he exists in the world uncertain of Both options#the world he’s in is real but it might not be. the matric isn’t real but it could be. he doesn’t Know and he can’t Tell#regardless of ‘which is right’ this state of being is Still a distorted sense of reality#and it’s not something being Put Upon him it’s something being Used Against him - there’s a difference#he’s not Certain of one and having to stay stalwart under the analyst insisting something different about the world#he can’t tell which is real and he Relies on the analyst to differentiate For him - and the analyst takes Advantage of that to lie to him#and even when it’s obvious the analyst is Wrong neo isn’t Allowed to question him bc ‘he’s the crazy one’#doesn’t matter which world is real - neos uncertainty Still IS an uncertainty in reality - delusion with insight / double book keeping#Also so normal about model morpheus reaching out an arm to let neo grab his sleeve as a reality check#without saying anything or drawing attention to it in any way - just tacit understanding and help#i'm SO normal about that moment guys Trust me

[ ˑ ˑ ˑ ] 𝑫𝑶𝑵𝑵𝑰𝑬 𝑾𝑨𝑻𝑻𝑺' 𝑻𝑨𝑻𝑻𝑶𝑶𝑺 & 𝑷𝑰𝑬𝑹𝑪𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑺 , bramble's quick and easy guide .
NECK, SHOULDERS AND BACK :
donnie has a big neck piece that depicts medusa. her expression is best described as one of serene rage. her eyes are totally white, which contrasts with the heavy black and grey detailing of the rest of the piece. the snakes of her hair fan out around his throat and along the underside of his jaw.
a wilted sunflower behind his right ear, usually hidden behind his hair. got it not long after leaving longing, new mexico. it is meant to celebrate james gallowes.
behind his left ear, you'll find a single crimson lipstick stain that's also usually hidden by his hair.
on the back of his neck, under all his hair, you'll find a biblically accurate angel design.
a laughing skull wearing a battered cowboy hat on the back of his right shoulder, done in black ink.
severed angel wings on both shoulder blades, done with pops of red ink and with several bloody feathers scattered around the area.
a rattlesnake that follows the curve of his spine.
an anatomical heart with a noose wrapped around it on the back of his left shoulder. it was also gotten in celebration of james gallowes.
on the right side of his lower back you'll find a silhouetted version of the two men shaking hands from pink floyd's 'wish you were here' album cover.
just above the pink floyd tat, you'll find a pinup style tattoo of a lady with dark curly hair, and a cowboy hat. she's covered in tattoos and is wearing what looks like an unbuttoned plaid shirt and cowboy boots. she's winking and throwing devil horns with her left hand.
next to the pinup tat, you'll find a skeletal cowboy wearing a battered poncho with a smoking pistol in its hand. it's also got a toothpick in its mouth if you look closely.
EARS :
his first piercing was an animal canine tooth on a chain hanging from his left ear lobe, though this piercing started as a simple silver hoop. he gets a second one in the same lobe, and often switches it up between a simple stud earring or a silver hoop.
he has helix piercings in both ears, and both resemble skeletal hands. he often switches it up between the skeletal hands, belt buckle cuffs or simple silver bands.
TORSO :
there are various lipstick stains ranging from deep purple to bright red on his hips and his abdomen.
a ram's skull with four horns, and a third eye on its forehead done in a detailed comic book style, with twisted branches crawling underneath the design in black ink. this tattoo is located on his pectorals and spreads out across the tops of his shoulders.
on the right side of his ribcage, you'll find a large piece that depicts a demonic creature with bat-like wings, carrying two deadly flails. flanking it on both sides are bats and ravens.
there's a stylised black ankh on his lower abdomen, with the loop going around his belly button, and the rest of it trailing down and stopping on his pelvis, just above his groin.
to the left of the ankh design you'll find the words 'no future' in gothic lettering on his lower abdomen.
a pentagram on his left hip, this was the first tattoo he ever got.
a guitar pick on his right collarbone that was gotten to celebrate his father. it's one of his more recent tattoos.
donnie has nipple piercings. they're simple silver bars that you can totally see whenever he's wearing a tight shirt or a white tank top.
RIGHT ARM :
he has a grim reaper in a cloud of skulls on his bicep. this is easily the most intricate of his tattoos.
a marlboro cigarette box with flowers sticking out, instead of marlboro, the box says 'cowboy killers.' you'll find this one just under the grim reaper design.
the second tattoo donnie ever got was a mountain lion crouching on his forearm, the design is a heavily stylised one, highlighted with pops of colour on the eyes.
there's a cartoon penguin wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses for emma on the inside of his forearm, above the mountain lion.
to the left of the mountain lion you'll find the torso of a knight with a sword, the knight has only a helmet, no face, and several arrows sticking out of his back.
the ac/dc lightning strike on the side of his wrist, just under the bone.
a horses skull on the other side of the same wrist, has an outline of the horse's head around it in dark black ink.
a stylised bat can be found on the back of his hand, this one has been heavily influenced by gothic art styles. there are various stick n'poke spiders and cobwebs accompanying this design, they almost act like a border to it.
on his knuckles and his fingers, there are outlines of the knuckle and finger bones done in crosshatched black ink.
LEFT ARM :
there's a barbed wire design around his upper forearm, above his bite scar, with some drops of blood coming from the barbs.
there's a yosemite sam above the barbed wire, firing off his pistols. this was got as a joke with his brother brody, who used to call him yosemite sam whenever he got angry as a child.
he has 'rancid creature' in gothic lettering on his shoulder, and it has been highlighted by a bright green drop shadow.
there's an outlaw riding a bucking horse and firing a pistol on his bicep.
next to the cowboy design is a demon bent over, farting. this was a design that izzy jones came up with as a joke, and donnie liked it so much that he got it.
to the right of the cowboy design, you'll find a couple of cherubs, similar to the ones found in medieval and renaissance paintings, with punk hairstyles and cigarettes in their mouths. both cherubs have guitars slung over their backs. this one he got for his other bandmates, sammy laurel and clara bell.
you'll find a skull with two monstrous hands with claws for nails holding it, so the jaws of the skull are wide open just below this tattoo.
a cowboy boot with a snake wrapped around it can be found next to the bite scar on his forearm.
along the other side of the bite scar, you'll find a simple outline sketch of a long wyvern-like dragon fighting a knight.
on his middle finger there's tolkien's original sketch of smaug from thror's map to the lonely mountain, it's been done in bold red ink, and was gotten as a tribute to his love of fantasy.
on his other fingers, you'll find small tarot-inspired cards, and small stick n'poke doodles, like smiley faces, stars, crosses, crescent moons, suns, and hearts.
on the back of his left hand you'll find a portrait of a woman wearing a wide-brimmed witches hat with a cobweb forming in the curve of it. she's smirking and has wiry, black hair that looks as though it's wet. her eyes are nothing more than white circles, as the top half of her face is cast in the shadow of the hat she's wearing. you can see the hint of her cleavage and nothing more.
LEFT LEG :
there's a longhorn skull on his thigh, done in a bold comic book style.
he has two horses on the outside of his thigh, both are up on their hind legs, locked mid-fight. this one has been done in heavy black ink.
he got an american football wearing sunglasses on the inside of his ankle for lee bennett after he died.
besides the football is a ballet dancer with mechanical legs and flame-red hair. she's mid-pirouette, with a wide smile on her face. this one is dedicated to stacy bennett, who was bound to a wheelchair after her interaction with the same creature that killed lee.
NOTES :
on both arms, you'll find various space-themed tattoos, such as planets, moons, shooting stars, star clusters, galaxies, and so on, in the small gaps between larger pieces.
you may also find some stick n'poke flowers, such as roses or sunflowers, done in these gaps as well. these will have been done by members of rancid creature or by friends looking to practise their tattooing skills on him.
the number of tattoos donnie has before he gets clean is far less than the number he has after getting clean. tattoos are his addiction, and he'll look to get one for literally any reason. all the people who mean something to him, and who have meant something to him, will have a tattoo dedicated to them somewhere on his body. which means that if we've plotted a dynamic where donnie and your muse are close to donnie in any capacity, i'll likely plot with you that donnie will get a tattoo somewhere for them, and he will show off about it.
#& * a terribly real thing in a terribly false world . [ metas ]#& * a child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort . [ study ]#( hehehe )#( pls enjoy this insight )#( into donnie's tats and piercings )

First and foremost, while this post contains content about docking, I am firmly not interested in debating it. It is part of the standard for this breed in my country and I'm not going to tolerate knocking reputable breeders for adhering to said breed standard.
That said, I am potentially interested in getting into breeding and would like some input from knowledgeable folks.
Some up front info: I have experience with the breed and absolutely adore them. It is a docked breed and part of my interest in getting into breeding is because I want a undocked dog without sacrificing quality.
If I did pursue breeding it would only be under mentorship.
The medium length version of my plan would be to acquire a wonderful male puppy from an excellent breeder. Title him in agility, conformation, and some original breed purpose things. Do above and beyond health testing. Basically prove him to be an exemplary example of the breed. Throughout this I would also be developing a solid relationship with his breeder.
I would want his breeder to arrange the pairing for his breeding, first litter at minimum. I would want to be fully educated on why they decided on the pairing they do and everything that goes into that.
From that breeding I would like to keep a female. She would be docked per breed standard and I would prove her as I did my male. If, and only if, all these things played out this way would I then use her as my foundation bitch for my own program in which the puppies would be undocked.
My program would likely not produce dogs often. Only when I am looking for my next dog and know that I can find quality homes for all puppies. I would also look to my mentor for education on how to match puppies to homes that suit them and all that entails.
So my question to knowledgable folks is, does this sound like a good approach for getting into breeding? Would you be open to working with and essentially taking someone like me under your wing?
As much as I desire an undocked dog from this breed, I don't want to pursue that in an irresponsible or impulsive manner.
Much thanks for your words of experience and wisdom.
#dogblr#dog breeders#dog breeding#this is all hypothetical as i have no dogs i would consider breeding#it's probably not hard to figure out what breed I'm alluding to#but I'm not naming it in hope of getting wider opinions#if the stars aligned and everything i need to happen happens#I'm at least 3 - 5 years out from pursuing said male#I'm not in any rush to make this happen#but I'm aware there's a lot i don't know because i lack experience#so I'd love to hear from those who insight i don't#please feel free to reblog this#I'm very much a gather information before taking any real steps towards something type person#this os especially important because it involves bringing lives into the world#and at the end of the day#i would ultimately be responsible for them

Have you ever fallen in love with an Aquarius? Because I know where Gojo guilt trips himself about Geto, for the past 10 years. You’re physically unable to forget them. You won’t. Have you ever conversed seriously with a Sagittarius? Because I can understand why Nanami listens to Gojo in spite of 99% of what leaves his mouth being complete bullshit. They are so brutally honest that you’re not allowed to ignore the discomfort they cause you. And they are also very willing to explain what you won’t understand. After they make fun of you, of course… Have you ever seen a furious Cancer? Because I can more than just imagine how Geto must have felt being in the same room with Nanami when Haibara’s body was brought back to jujutsu tech. You would be wishing there was a hole you could cower back in until the hurricane that is their emotions exploding dies down a couple notches. And even then, you still would be scared shitless to even look at them, much less to open your stupid mouth and speak to them. These men? I have met them. And apparently Gege has, too.
#gojo satoru#nanami kento#geto suguru#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#I never expected to say this… but they are too real!#I have been classmates with these guys ok?!😫😭#I have insights on gege’s building world and backstory!#they’re too familiar dammit!#fuck you gege for reminding me tales of times past!😭😬#my writing#fandom talk#and why are my reasoning getting longer for each of them??? *le gasp*

Me, in my comments: Daniel is so interesting to write, he’s very intelligent and he always has something really insightful to say about what’s going on
Daniel, in my current wip: “Mm, that’s nice, but you’re not getting me in bed and getting out of this,” Daniel murmured. He let Armand kiss his cheek and then gently ducked away before he could do it again. “Besides, you fuck like an animal. I think my dick will fall off if I have to do that seven nights in a row.”
#he says something insightful later#and totally rocks armand's entire world with it#but goddamn sometimes he just runs his mouth instead#and takes 10k to get us to the real issue at hand#can't believe what was supposed to be a short and smutty prompt bloated out like this 💀#rainbow this is all your fault lmao

My review of The Poppy War: Would rather have just read a book about the Second Sino-Japanese War instead of the fantasy version of it
#i think it would have been better if it hadn't so closely paralleled real world events#how it used the rape of nanjing left a bad taste in my mouth#i don't think it did anything interesting with its historical base - and maybe it does in later books but i shall not be reading them#if anyone has any particular insights on the book and really enjoyed it i would be interested in hearing from you#because i do feel a little bit like i missed something that made this book come together better - so many people rave about it!#but it is also very possible i just didn't like the book and that's life not everyone likes everything#book club

It's so funny whenever someone discovers that people like to have emotions about fictional characters recreationally and like loses their mind. what, people are actually lusting for the undescribed tits of ianthe tridentarius on the internet?? that's so weird no one has ever been horny on the internet before!
#that's the emotion that first came to mind because i am who i am but insert whatever emotion you want about whatever character you want here#people have feelings about things that don't exist and then they talk about those feelings?? omg#like. come on man. i know you've cared about a sport or the outcome of a movie before#it's like hitting me as i'm typing this that some people just don't have strong emotions recreationally#like they save those for exclusively circumstances in their real lives but only certain ones#someone should do a study on that actually. not sure it's healthy#help#this post brought to you by h*mestuck made this world podcast a podcast i enjoy but sometimes it is like#come on man. come on#the media studies commentary is insightful but the overall vibe of treating a fandom as a zoo exhibit is like#i know we've all read hobby drama threads but i didn't spend days of my life staying updated on them ggjklll#but then they read the vr*ska obama post and it is all worth it

#insights#we are watching the world trend into horror and western leftists are applauding#normally i love western leftists. we are so quick to stand against what we perceive to be injustice#but two days ago a close friend of mine for many years retweeted that video of the concordia student screaming ‘you fucking kike’#the next day another friend retweets a post saying that hamas should have killed more#that rape isn’t rape when it’s against colonizers#so many of my friends agreeing that it’s okay to dehumanize people you don’t like#i am no expert in what qualifies as deserving of respect but i was raised to believe that every human being deserves basic respect.#i’m not sympathetic to the israeli government at all and i hope they face repercussions for the crimes they’ve committed#but i am so so scared that so many people are watching ‘death to the jews’ trend worldwide and saying ‘they deserved it’#it went from anti-colonialism to anti-semitism and there is a REAL lack of acknowledgement of that#meanwhile palestinians still suffer and all of this global hatred and insistence on black and white isn’t helping#jewish people everywhere had a right to be paranoid because they’ve seen this before and the left just laughed it off#probably now the same people who are holding pitchforks and thinking that hatred will solve injustice#i want a free palestine and for anti-semitism to not exist because these are compatible ideas#if you see anti-semitism or anti-arab sentiments please do call it out.#i didn’t make this into a textpost because i was afraid it would get passed around in a bad way#i’m sure somebody will still read this and scream ‘ISRAEL SYMPATHIZER!’#honestly we should all criticize the israeli government (as so many israelis do)#but there are also a lot of free thinkers going ‘jews control the narrative / the world’ like that isn’t some of the pre-holocaust thinking#and they refuse to acknowledge it.#anyways i’m terrified for the world and for humanity and its strange urge to destroy itself

For panel of the funeral, I think the guy behind the flowers on the coffin might be Asa? The head shape and face markings fit, and it'd be fitting for him to be there directly opposite Mitzi.
oh word, this guy, right?
didn't spot that, i think you're right....ft. what i believe is asa's first appearance otherwise, for comparison:
design sure seems to match in structure and markings, even got the darker ears visible in the funeral pic. and definitely adding Placement relevance too like you say, to be standing opposite mitzi....with Maybe Mordecai between them.
#lackadaisy#really pondering ''how's mordecai know so much abt atlas's death but now have room to question whether marigold Knows Shit / Was Involved''#like naturally it may not have been ''yeah mordecai shot him'' but then what was The Private Affair. who was there. who Did shoot him.#or; as theorized; maybe mordecai shot atlas But is now questioning The Reason he thought atlas had to be killed in the first place#whatever that reason is; also being a mystery....and where ''he also blames mitzi for the situation'' fits in too; as well as Why....#it's a standing invite if anyone wants to share any insights / noticed/questioned details#making a murder mystery party out of it. foulplay.live voice just have fun; that's what murder is all about#it's also fun b/c it's so character relevant around here. been a real mordecai rennaissance. what are your emotional motivations bestie....#re: asa at the funeral; like the shape of / around the eyes might be slightly different#but that's a smaller detail and the design could've changed some when that appearance was posted at least a real world year later#like how mordecai's head shape silhouette also has subtly more wave to it by then#mitzi and mordecai murder mystery

my best friend is moving in with his boyfriend and I am Not handling it super well so real grown-ups of tumblr, how do you deal with it when a good friend has a long-term, serious partner who you think is...fine?
#I've not had to deal with this before because all of my partnered friends are with people who I either#a) genuinely like as people or b) do not feel bad about disliking#this man is fine? he treats my friend well but I personally would never choose to hang out with him if they weren't dating?#like I don't know what my friend sees in him#and I'm also not sure what he sees in my friend#not in a 'I don't think my best friend is worthy of love' way o b v i o u s l y#but they started dating fairly soon after the partner got *divorced* and it kind of seems like#he just really wanted to be in a serious relationship again but like. with a man instead of a woman.#but my friend also never talks about his feelings so I have no real insight into his pov!!#I'm kind of concerned about his logic but he also processes things way differently than I do and y'know it's not my life#so I'm sure it will be fine#also part of what I am having trouble with is definitely that I never thought this friend would *be* in a serious relationship#and there are some minor betrayal feelings happening (especially bc he's moving an extra 20 mins away from me booo)#(why you'd want to move from a cool place near things to a boring place in the boring suburbs is beyond me but I digress)#but (despite my friend's preferences) I'm going to be seeing a lot more of the partner now that they are living together#and I'd like to get to a point where I actually like him maybe?#that may be too tall of an order. where he doesn't actively annoy me??#the man once tried to devil's advocate brittney greiner being stuck in russia I don't think I can be blamed for being annoyed lmao#that feeling when you think all your friends deserve The Absolute Best In The World when it comes to romantic partners#so you get pissed when their partners don't seem to recognize their amazingness
