#see the difference is that one is a kid and the other is a kidult

[aeonghaseyo]

Do you know if Maria is using two accounts to act like she has a friend on this site again? I've seen this claws-and-bee-stings blog reblog a lot of shipsandpuns stuff.

@claws-and-bee-stings is a separate blog, not an account of Pee Girl’s. For one, this chump is brave enough to insult me for not perceiving sarcasm even without a tone indicator.

Pee Girl, on the other hand, is a coward.

Other than that, the former account is one that I think existed previously independent of Pee Girl, such that they never engaged with the sicko before (I think?)

seventeen as students

hyung line edition :

Seungcheol

He thinks that school's definitely not a place for him to be happy. Why? Because he has to babysit 12 kidults and it's not as easy as you might think. Is a trio with Jihan. Honestly has no idea who ends up with who because Jihan seems to be an actual thing along with Seoksoo and Jeongcheol. Believe it or not, he's actually popular with sports' addicts and bad boys. Once, actually does try the bad boy style but thinks that he's too cool for it. During lunch, he wishes he can escape to eat somewhere else but he doesn't want students' running away because of his 12 kids. If you hurt any of them though, then you have a problem with him.

Jeonghan

Is popular around both girls and boys. Will tease everyone about their crushes with his significant 'ayyyy'. Literally has heart eyes around Chan, no matter what he does. Babies him all the freaking time. Is the therapist of the 13-member friend group. It drains him mentally to see all of the younger ones being hyper. He's amazed at how Seungcheol can control them easily. Wishes to be Seungcheol in his next life to see how it feels like when everyone listens to him.

Joshua

Seems to be sane but is actually not. He will fight, like physically fight anyone who hurts Seokmin. Jeonghan's best friend and partner-in-crime in almost anything, including pissing Seungcheol off. Is also friends with the cheerleaders and talks to them in his sweetest voice. He knows that he has visuals and aren't afraid to use them like that one time he had to save Soonyoung from the lady substitute teacher who was annoyed at the latter's tiger pose.

Junhui

He's confused why he's there. School's boring for him. Sleeps in class with his eyes open because he's mentally and physically exhausted from studying the same thing the night before. He'll rather study on his own rather than listen to whatever the teacher is droning about. Tries to find other Chinese students and eventually becomes friends with Minghao. Is the best at completing challenges and dares so everyone loves him. No matter how different his vibes change, the rest of his friends still view him as an adorable person, especially Seungkwan.

Soonyoung

Literally friends with everyone. Even the lunch lady. Teaches her his significant 'horanghae' pose and gets an extra chicken wing. Everyone has either known him or heard of him because he's damn popular. Has a thing for quiet kids. Is Jihoon's best friend and despite the boy's constant grumbling, Soonyoung always has his arm around Jihoon. Is either a teacher's dream student or worst nightmare, nothing in between.

Wonwoo

Student council president, Jeon Wonwoo has all the meetings in the library. Why? Because he secretly lives there. People who haven't talked to him before think that he's a vampire in disguise but once you get to know him, you understand that he's actually a softie. Loves, just loves carrying around literature books with him because he's an old soul. Has this note book with him all the time, to write something whenever he feels inspired.

Jihoon

The kid who never leaves the music room is actually the original introvert of the friend group. Loves Soonyoung's affections to death but will never admit it for the sake of his pride. He's creative and it wins him many praises from teachers. Is always up for a good, meme-worthy moment of Seokmin or Soonyoung when he can have the laugh of his life.

22/28 with Wukong and (throughly done with this idiot) lawyer?

I swear I ALMOST wrote a different idea for this that was really close to the fic i reblogged earlier and I am SO GLAD I changed it to this!

"Oh my gosh, what happened to you?"/"Please don't do this to me."

"Oh my gosh, what happened to you?" Wukong tried not to laugh as he asked, but it was difficult.

His poor lawyer had made it out to his temple, an agreed meeting spot that would cause much less hassle and chaos than trying to meet in the city, and she looked a wreck. Hair tossled every which way and spots of dusty dry dirt on her clothes. It looked like she was almost run over.

"I was almost run over." Oh. Well, that was a good guess. "It was my fault, to be fair, the tuk-tuk driver couldn't really see my scooter coming around the curve and I took it too wide. Poor kid looked horrified but I told him it was fine."

"Oh, good, so you met him already!"

"Huh?"

"You know, the kid I told you about Xiao Baoshi!"

"I told you not to call me th-Oh, never mind," his lawyer sighed as she combed her hair back into shape, accepting the nickname once again. Being called Xiao Baoshi was better than some of the names her worst clients called her in the past and she didn't have the energy to be angry right now. "Yes, I do remember you mentioning a-wait, that was an adult!" She stared at him incredulously.

"Kid, adult, kidult, still a kid to me," Wukong brushed off, waving her to follow him inside. "Regardless, he's why I called you here." He sat down at his table, unpacking two bowls of noodles and setting one in front of her before looking at her with a serious face. "I am asking you to be his lawyer and the first thing he needs is help with getting a restraining order against his parents."

Xiao Baoshi paused, looking at the ancient mystic being with an exasperated expression. "Wukong what the fuck."

"I know, I know!" He sighed, eating a bite of noodles before he continued. "It's a lot to ask. Just... sit down and I'll explain. It's why I got you noodles, this is going to take a while."

"Please don't do this to me," Xiao Baoshi sighed, shaking her head. "This is a terrible prank W-"

"It's not," he interupted, and then she really paid attention to his face. His serious face... was actually serious. Not the fake one he used when messing with her. "The kid needs help. Please."

It had been a long time since she had heard the Monkey King talk like this. So she sat down, pulled her bowl closer, and nodded. "Tell me everything."

By the time he was finished this mystery kid absolutely had a lawyer. And the start of a restraining order. And many many other things Wukong did not ask for. Her first interaction with this MK kid may have been nearly getting run over, but her second interaction with him would be explaining exactly how she was going to destroy his parents.

POST NOTE: Wukong's nickname for his ever exasperated lawyer is "little gem" and she hates it. I spent way too long trying to pick a proper name that I gave up and went with the nickname I chose already instead.

“맘속엔 어린아이가 있어”

“There’s a little kid in my heart.”

- Kidult, Seventeen

[11:15 am]

"Well," drawled a voice from behind you.

"If it isn't fruit breaker and heart breaker."

You and Jongho turned and greeted the voice with a smile.

"Well, if it isn' Mr Expensive Pumpkin Patch," you scoffed and Jongho sniggered next to you.

Yunho rolled his eyes and but the small smile that made its way on his face betrayed his tough exterior.

"Please tell me your strong best friend is not going to see if he can break a pumpkin with his fist."

You could almost see the panic in Yunho's eyes as he muttered those words but unfortunately for him, that was exactly why you were here...that and you wanted a pumpkin to carve for Halloween. Why not kill two birds with one stone?

"Of course not, Yuyu. How could you think that?" Your words faltered and Yunho's eyes widened.

"Jongho, tell me that's not true..." Yunho trailed off and looked at your best friend who just casually shrugged his shoulders and refused to meet the taller boy's eyes.

"I mean..." Jongho started but what quickly cut off by you.

"What he means is that we're here to buy a pumpkin to carve. The best one you have please, Yuyu," you said and batted your eyelashes at the male just for extra effect.

Jongho always did say you had a flare for the dramatics.

The tall male eyed you both suspiciously before treading off, both of you close behind him.

"Do you think he knows?" Jongho asked and you shook your head confidently.

You really hoped Yunho hadn't caught on.

You and Jongho watched as Yunho described the different types of pumpkins and gourds he was growing on his farm. It really wasn't much interest but you swore that the world could probably live off the happiness that his face radiated every time he spoke about those vegetables.

"Hey, hey (Y/n)," Jongho tapped you and you followed his gaze.

There it was.

The perfect pumpkin for your little experiment.

"Are you sure that's the one?" You asked and Jongho nodded.

You nodded and called out to Yunho.

"Yunho, what about that one?" You said and pointed to the bright orange one on the farthest end of the field.

"(Y/n), that one's been deemed a defect. It's not the right size," he said and frowned.

You looked at Jongho with sparkling eyes.

"Oh..." you said and then looked back at Yunho who was already rambling about the different types of pumpkins.

From the side of your eye, you saw Jongho sneak off and run to the other side of the field.

"Pssst, hey," you shouted, low enough to not get Yunho's attention but enough to get Jongho's.

"Where are you going?" You said and he just gave you a thumbs up, giggling brightly like a child. God, you wanted to hug him and let him go.

"As I was saying (Y/n)- where is he going?" Yunho sounded alarmed as Jongho stepped into the pit, setting his hands around the vegetable.

Jongho looked at you with raised eyebrows and you lowly nodded at him. Slowly but steadily, both of you telepathically counted to three and on the last count, Jongho uprooted the vegetable and ran off in the other direction as best as he could.

Just as he ran off, you did as well.

"Thank you, Yuyu! See you for Halloween! Mine and Jongho's place, ten o'clock! Don't forget!"

Your rushed words didn't even register in Yunho's brain as he watched you and your best friend run away with a pumpkin.

"Those brats, I swear-"

[nicecarito]

Something I wanted to say since I started being in this fandom....

The most people who ever tried to -cancel- me and talked behind my back without face me directly, the 90% have been Americans... And I say it, cuz it's like super wtf how latin americans, europeans or Asiatics fans treat me so nicely and these fellas are like if they wear a Monk attire from the Inquisition.

(not all Americans of course, I have very good friends and wonderful followers who are from America , such sweeties, so I will not generalist as everyone, let's just focus on the meanies, unfortunately , the meanies that I had to deal with are from there )

(I actually know which artists were the ones who dared to say bad stuff about me without even daring to face and know me as a person... I will only give you this ...🙃 Have a wonderful day!)

The worst thing they ever said is that I draw CP Like, when in my fucking life. I have two kids at home! I have raised them, I was a mother figure to them, I am a kids teacher too and I love my kids so much so YOU making such rumor hurts me a lot ... Not all the world is America, so we don't see some stuff like u do.

How they can assume that shit of someone when I had to give my life to two boys. Really these guys taking to serious the freaking fiction it's a pain in the ass... Then... That I pro-incest. NO, MOTHERFUCKERS, u really have a big imagination! Please give me some cuz Sometimes I have a lack of imagination and I can't draw anything!!

That I draw Mug and Cup well I do have a story about it... Forgive cuz my NATIVE LANGUAGE IT'S SPANISH

When the very first trailer of Cuphead came out (the black and white one) and WHEN MY ENGLISH WASN'T STILL GOOD and nobody knows they were siblings at least not me I said, oh two cute cups, I will ship them :$

Like, it's not like I could find more information, I couldn't read it anyway and the spanish information about the game was alway "Two BEST FRIENDS TRYING TO GET THEIR SOULS BACK" so well,Sorry for that I guess??

Then time passed and then the game came out and well tadaaaah they are siblings

And I waS Like "SHIT! WHY ALL THE SUDDEN?! well, I don't think it's a big deal, I still have my headcanons where they aren't siblings at all and I always drew them As adults (THEY ARE KIDULTS BY THE WAY),well not big deal after all .....THEY ARE TWO CUISINE UTENSILS AND NOT HUMANS AND NOT REAL PEOPLE SO..."

But UUUUF NOOOH how dare uuu ,Carito, you are the worst person of the world , let's try to cancel u so you will learn to not draw two utensils kissing cuz they come from the same ceramic oven :)))

If you are gonna give me the excuse that fiction alterate reality or something of that style.... Well, in that case I will try to cancel EVERYONE WHO DRAW ASSASSINATION, MAFIOUS STUFF, CHILD VIOLENCE, DRUGS, AND ALL THE BAD STUFF OF THE MOTHER FUCKER WORLD, and cuz I unfortunately been witness of all of it ... I saw two murders in my life that was about drug dealing, narcos and I sadly saw child abuse to the point of super strong violence.... in my family there’s stories of violations between familiars, so sad.

-But one thing isn't that bad than the other >:U- (a real excuse that I got)

.... ARE YOU SERIOUS?! don't try to put a parameter to height if something is less bad or viceversa, THAT is stupid and hypocrite. Things are bad and POINT. BUT

I'm not going to cancel someone who decide to get into that MATURE THEMES to tell a story!

Because if you are mature enough to make a big difference between reality and fiction then you will enjoy the story, you will understand the concept of the story, why the artist decided to choose these themes for their story, etc...

That's why Something called MATURE ADVERTISEMENT exist.... It's a part of text were the artist tell you that they will talk about themes that might trigger you so...

If you choose to watch it, well it's your decision BUT DON'T TRY TO COMPLAIN IF THE ARTIST WARNED YOU AT VERY FIRST. People Sometimes doesn't read if there's not a damn colorful image there! People just pay attention to certain stuff if looks cute.

I think that trying to eliminate these kind of themes to make everything more -pink and healthy- it is unhealthy.... These themes exist in the end, storytelling exist for a reason.

If you have a boundary, it's super fine. I do have my boundaries too and I do avoid things that doesn't make me feel happy at all but that doesn't give me the power of destroy a person cuz -their content doesn't make me happy-. You aren't a hero... You are just a bully.

and if you are gonna -try- then at least come to say it in my face!! Always behind the stage cuz they always been to coward to come to me and talk! COWARDS!. YOU ARE COWARDS!

THEY SAID LIES ABOUT ME, AND some of them destroyed some friendships that I had or make people try to avoid me to -take care of their reputation cuz if I talk to Carito that will make -friends- think the worst of me-

Well, if your friends push you to not talk to someone cuz very silly stuff, what kind of friends you have :/ are we at elementary school or something?

But to be honest they weren't really my friends cuz they doesn't really cared about my feelings enough so whatever. But yeah..... Angery but they never were able to cancel me for real.....

cuz not for being sassy or shit, But I think I showed who really I am and I believe people likes me. I don't need to pretend shit or stop drawing or change my stories at all. I do what I want and cuz obviously I'm not hurting no one, then people get closer to me.

I like them too and I will continue drawing cuz that's my fucking career, motherfuckers. I draw to pay my debts so, don't tease.

I hope them to show that interest of cancel stuff in real life for people who really need it! The world is outside the screen, and we are REALLY full of bad people outside so... I think you should turn off your computer for once... pinchis morros mensos

And if you ever felt trigerred cuz I ever say hola to you just cuz someone told you a -rumor- about me .. well, you are really manipulable. You should give yourself the opportunity to speak to someone and know them first instead of -take care of your reputation- that's bullshit , it's hypocrite and maybe it was the best cuz I don't need people to give me false smiles and turns around to say shit.

If I EVER did something unforgivable well... Let me see it ._. I can't say sorry if I don't know what the hell are you talking about

I had this inside my heart that really hurted me for so long , sorry for the vent and I'm truly thankful that you follow me cuz you like my art and me as a person.

I'm truly grateful of all my friends too! Thank you for being there for me

Episode Recrap of "The Bachelor Party"

Season 3, Episode 4 - February 6, 2017

From TV Guide;"Jeremy's bachelor party and Jinger's bachelorette affair bring together friends and family after weeks of wedding planning. Meanwhile, Jessa and Ben learn the gender of baby No. 2; and Derick goes back to his alma mater, Oklahoma State University to reprise his role as the school's mascot, Pistol Pete." In other words...another boring bachelor party, another ultrasound not done by a doctor, and again Derick goes back to his alma mater. I'm already bored.

1. Sex Party:  The episode begins at the Jim Bob owned house that he allows Benessa and Spud to live in. Actually, it's grandma Mary's house but I'm pretty sure Jim Bob has taken control over most of his mother's assets by now. He just allows her to keep the properties in her name. Anyway, Ben explains they are getting ready to go to an "ultrasound place" to get a cute 3D photo and find out the sex of the baby without actually having to see a real doctor. Jana and Joy beg to go along to find out the sex. The producers ask Benessa why they want to keep the baby's sex secret and Jessa says, "To torture everyone. Just kidding". They say it's just fun. I think it's more fun if they don't even find out and are surprised at the birth just like in the olden days they so love and want to drag us all back to kicking and screaming.

2. Pity Party:  The producers ask the kidults what they think Jessa is going to have, beyond just another brainwashed fundie. Most think it's going to be a boy. Jill surprisingly says, "I think Derick says he thought maybe they're having a girl so I said I'm gonna pick what he picks because he's always right, I'm always wrong."  Well, Derick isn't always right. Jessa had a boy. Actually, from what I read on his social media, he's almost always wrong. Jill, you need to tell Derick to shove it if he is making your feel that you're always wrong about dumb shit like this. Mental and emotional abuse is not okay.

3. Party At The Convent:  Jeremy's back in town to "party" with the Duggars and friends. On their way to the airport, Jeremy and Jinger have a fourteen year old brother chaperoning them. Horny fourteen year old boys are great at suppressing sexual urges in others. (sarcasm) Josh was fourteen when he started his incestuous molestation criminal spree. Maybe they should hire a nun to follow these courting couples around. One smack with a ruler to the crotch and no birth control will ever be needed. Jeremy's bachelor party will consist of playing golf. He has no interest in running around and partying. That already put him behind bars a few years ago. Lesson learned. Jessa's bachelorette party will consist of jewelry making. She says they don't drink or dance...neither do I....but jewelry making?! Ick! That's something preteen girls do at a slumber party.

4. Duggar Dinner Party: Jeremy's friends meet the numerous Duggars at the tin mansion. Jim Bob shows up from wherever he's been to appear in this scene. I was starting to think he had been shipped off to Christian rehab. After dinner, the friends and other kidults go off to participate in an escape room adventure. This might be the most secular and interesting thing they've ever participated in. They are sure to fail.

5. Escape Room Party:  For some reason, it's guys against girls. The guys piddle around and end up dying. Then the girls enter. It doesn't start well when one of the girls walks in and says, "Oh wow! It's a kinda room!" The fun starts right away when they begin breaking the furniture in the escape room. They know TLC will pay for the damage. In the end, the girls got further along in the game than the guys but they also died in the pretend volcanic eruption.  I wonder if the producers helped them along a bit to try to show that these uneducated girls are smart and the educated (some of the guys) are dumb losers as a way to push the fundies' lame agenda that people don't need to have an education in order to be saved from exploding volcanoes. I beg to differ.

6. Golf Party:  Jeremy comes to the golf course dressed in knickers. He's out to "intimidate". I'm wondering why none of the Duggar brothers were invited to golf or did they just choose not to go. Is golfing on the same par as dancing? Pun intended.  What happens after the first lousy tee off is something from the Three Stooges. I'm just feeling blessed that Jim Bob didn't go on this trip and hump someone as he did on the minigolf course. I'm also feeling blessed that Derick didn't puke on the green. The producers ask the Duggars to describe certain golf terms and again they all embarrass themselves but I thought I would never see the day where I would rather hear Ben speak than Derick. There is something seriously wrong with that dude. Jessa describes a putter as "It's a special task like a little dude who runs around and grabs your balls." My first laugh of this episode. Maybe for the season. Yes Jessa, It's a little dude who grabs balls. Josh is now working as a putter in his spare time. I guess the producers and the Duggars think it's funny to have them answer questions that they have no clue how to answer. I think most of us just groan at them about how they enjoy exploiting their own ignorance.

7. Jewelry Party: Make me a noose necklace. They are making jewelry that the bridesmaids will wear at the wedding. Michelle and the older girls are there as well as Josie. I'm sure Josie was thrown into this scene to again push their anti-abortion agenda because she was a survivor of an abortion. If the Duggars succeed in making it illegal for women like Michelle to stop a pregnancy due to medical emergencies then children like Josie and her mommy will die. We all have to hope the Duggars never succeed in overturning anything but a golf cart. Be truly pro-life! The jewelry topic soon turns to first kisses which gives them the opportunity to show old clips of other weddings. Joy talks about missing Jinger when she moves. She says Jinger does all the grocery shopping and all of the laundry. What the heck does Michelle do is the age-old question. I know! She spends her time researching Bible verses that are about how to guilt your children into being your slaves.

8. Party of Fools: Back at Jill and Derick's mansion witch is really Jim Bob's mansion, Jill is letting Izzy drink cold tomato sauce out of a can with a straw. Of all my years working with children, I have never heard of anyone allowing a child to drink tomato sauce. It is too acidic and full of salt and sugar. Jill says it's Izzy's favorite snack. Later we find out that Derick's dad died of long term complications from having high blood pressure. That alone is a great reason to keep his grandson away from high sodium products. Jill and Derick need to attend parenting classes fast!  Derjill are going to OSU again! To be Pistol Pete, again! They're taking grandma Cathy this time. Derick reminisces about his father who was also Pistol Pete. Time to play, The Duggars are Idiots game! The producer asks them, "What is homecoming." The Duggars are absolutely clueless and proud of it. Jeremiah finally admits, "We're homeschooled. We don't know what that is." They don't know much about nothing.

9. The Party's Over: After the parade and terrifying Izzy with the Pistol Pete costume the family heads to the university to walk down memory lane. We have learned in this episode that Derick has little mind of his own. He took up the same sports as his dad. He went to the same college as his dad. He became Pistol Pete like his dad.  I'm surprised he didn't become a cop like his dad. Jill then breaks a commandment by lying. She says her parents have said that after finishing homeschool high school that her siblings can choose to go to college. BULL PUCKY!  Jill has said in the past that she wanted to go to college to become an RN but her parents said no. They instead encouraged her to take online classes to become a barely a midwife. Josh had long talked about becoming a lawyer and that never happened. Joseph went for one year to get some useless Bible certificate at a Christian college but that was not really getting a college education. The Duggar kids are brainwashed from birth to not even think about college. They think it's Satan's playground plus they're too cheap and people are easier to control when they have less education. Jill, stop breaking commandments and tell the truth. Stop covering up for your parents' crazy beliefs. The Dillards then visit Derick's old dorm and tell the story of Rick Dillard's death which brings this episode to a grinding halt. The party is definitely over.

How To Include TikTok In Your Video Marketing Strategy

TikTok is a Vine-meets-Facebook app that’s bursting at the seams with branding and marketing opportunities. 

TikTok marketing comes down to making concise, auto-looping videos with added music and special effects that appeal to 500 million MAU kids and kidults. Seeing how this platform is still new, it’s understandable that you might be wondering if it’s even worth investing in TikTok video marketing.

In 2019, TikTok started testing native ads and introduced verified badges for accounts, with a leaked pitch deck sent to an ad agency in January 2019 showing four advertising concepts that included augmented reality (AR) and 3D lens capability. 

This strongly indicates TikTok is planning to bring video marketing and video ads to a whole new level of merging digital and real-world marketing, all the while letting users participate in increasing virality and brand awareness.

Fast-paced, quirky, and fleeting by nature, marketing TikTok videos will require creativity that goes beyond the “product good, buy product” motto of modern video ads. 

TikTok influencers might not have the same clout as other video-based or social media platforms, but they do have the creativity that makes them stand out from the rest of the crop. 

There’s still no definitive list of TikTok marketing best practices, which means you can experiment quite a bit and possibly hit it big by being creative. 

Learn from Top Brands Doing Video Production On TikTok

One great way to start off is by looking at brands already doing video production on TikTok.

#1 Chipotle

TikTok originally revolved around users lip-syncing a music video, so one of Chipotle’s TikTok video ads pays homage to the platform’s roots while featuring menu items. 

In the video, tortilla chips are arranged to feel like an audience surrounding a bowl of guac, which would be Adele, and they all sing her “Someone Like You” in sync with the song’s live version. 

As people caught on, they made their own versions with different foods and items, contributing to the novelty of the trend and spreading it further.

The total budget for Chipotle’s video couldn’t have been particularly expensive, but it worked so well because it fit TikTok’s video format and users’ expectations. 

Another of Chipotle’s videos features a quirky dance alongside the #GuacDance hashtag, which sparked the viral trend of TikTok users making their own variations of the dance. 

Again, the budget was minimal, allowing Chipotle to think of a simple idea, publish it straight away, and use a novel hashtag to funnel all the viewers of all the variations of the video back to the original one.

As people participated in both the Adele and the #GuacDance events, they expressed their creativity in uniquely TikTok ways while spreading brand awareness. 

There’s very little a competitor can do to hijack the virality of these events. Instead, everyone contributes to the brand’s video marketing with these Vine-like snippets of content.

#2 The Washington Post

As one of the earliest adopters of TikTok marketing, The Washington Post quickly learned that TikTok content doesn’t have to be serious, high-brow, or investigative. 

This official newspaper account posts funny, musical skits that focus on behind-the-scenes happenings at its office, often peppered with quirky special effects and quotes from public figures.

The Washington Post is marketing its TikTok content to the same audience that’s already subscribed to their news pipeline—meaning a specific, receptive niche. 

This is another key aspect of TikTok marketing that allows for focused content that costs little to produce but is highly interacted with by a small audience segment. 

A branded TikTok account could produce how-to videos, instruction manuals, and much more in video form to foster engagement and genuinely help its audience with minimal investment.

By not taking itself too seriously, The Washington Post TikTok account is also trying to attract the attention of the younger audience that might be too intimidated by the serious stuff, such as economics and political debates. 

An approach that makes a brand seem more human and lighthearted is an excellent way to create TikTok content.

#3 San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo TikTok account rides on the fact everyone on the internet goes “awww” upon seeing cute animal videos. 

With some upbeat music, the “awww” turns into a “wow!” and becomes a viral video that appeals to the carefree kid and kidult audience. When the San Diego Zoo content is spliced with that of another zoo or aquarium, the content reaches a whole new level of amazing.

From the San Diego Zoo TikTok account, we can learn the nifty strategy of posting content in tandem with another account, also known as cross-promotion. 

While this already exists in marketing, doing it over TikTok allows for much more flexibility as completely random brands can interact and create quirky video content that attracts new audiences to all participating brands. 

In this way, all participating brands get their content amplified at no additional cost.

Conclusion

For now, TikTok marketing is still in its early stages but promises a lot of innovation, such as AR marketing that would overlay the real-world camera feed with digital images. 

Until that happens, you should hold off on investing in TikTok marketing but dip your toes in low-level branding and virality experiments to see what works and what doesn’t.

In other words, do participate but don’t anticipate.

TikTok excels at being a unique video platform where everyone can quickly create and share light, fun and engaging video snippets on topics ranging from heavy-hitting politics to fast food menus and zoo animals. 

The ease of cross-promotion and viral sharing makes TikTok a very appealing platform for all kinds of creative video production.

TikTok is a great testbed for video ads, audience interaction mechanisms, and viral spread potential.  Any marketing content you plan to produce should take TikTok into account, in particular the idiosyncrasies of how its video content is produced, shared, and consumed.

In 2020, consumers have become increasingly wary of glossy, sterile video ads. Consumers want to see the real thing and what’s going on behind the scenes before interacting with a brand and committing to a purchase. 

All the successful TikTok brands have that in common—they show an unfiltered, genuine side of themselves in a playful way, which the TikTok audience respects and rewards with a viral, playful spread of their content.

How To Include TikTok In Your Video Marketing Strategy

TikTok is a Vine-meets-Facebook app that’s bursting at the seams with branding and marketing opportunities. 

TikTok marketing comes down to making concise, auto-looping videos with added music and special effects that appeal to 500 million MAU kids and kidults. Seeing how this platform is still new, it’s understandable that you might be wondering if it’s even worth investing in TikTok video marketing.

In 2019, TikTok started testing native ads and introduced verified badges for accounts, with a leaked pitch deck sent to an ad agency in January 2019 showing four advertising concepts that included augmented reality (AR) and 3D lens capability. 

This strongly indicates TikTok is planning to bring video marketing and video ads to a whole new level of merging digital and real-world marketing, all the while letting users participate in increasing virality and brand awareness.

Fast-paced, quirky, and fleeting by nature, marketing TikTok videos will require creativity that goes beyond the “product good, buy product” motto of modern video ads. 

TikTok influencers might not have the same clout as other video-based or social media platforms, but they do have the creativity that makes them stand out from the rest of the crop. 

There’s still no definitive list of TikTok marketing best practices, which means you can experiment quite a bit and possibly hit it big by being creative. 

Learn from Top Brands Doing Video Production On TikTok

One great way to start off is by looking at brands already doing video production on TikTok.

#1 Chipotle

TikTok originally revolved around users lip-syncing a music video, so one of Chipotle’s TikTok video ads pays homage to the platform’s roots while featuring menu items. 

In the video, tortilla chips are arranged to feel like an audience surrounding a bowl of guac, which would be Adele, and they all sing her “Someone Like You” in sync with the song’s live version. 

As people caught on, they made their own versions with different foods and items, contributing to the novelty of the trend and spreading it further.

The total budget for Chipotle’s video couldn’t have been particularly expensive, but it worked so well because it fit TikTok’s video format and users’ expectations. 

Another of Chipotle’s videos features a quirky dance alongside the #GuacDance hashtag, which sparked the viral trend of TikTok users making their own variations of the dance. 

Again, the budget was minimal, allowing Chipotle to think of a simple idea, publish it straight away, and use a novel hashtag to funnel all the viewers of all the variations of the video back to the original one.

As people participated in both the Adele and the #GuacDance events, they expressed their creativity in uniquely TikTok ways while spreading brand awareness. 

There’s very little a competitor can do to hijack the virality of these events. Instead, everyone contributes to the brand’s video marketing with these Vine-like snippets of content.

#2 The Washington Post

As one of the earliest adopters of TikTok marketing, The Washington Post quickly learned that TikTok content doesn’t have to be serious, high-brow, or investigative. 

This official newspaper account posts funny, musical skits that focus on behind-the-scenes happenings at its office, often peppered with quirky special effects and quotes from public figures.

The Washington Post is marketing its TikTok content to the same audience that’s already subscribed to their news pipeline—meaning a specific, receptive niche. 

This is another key aspect of TikTok marketing that allows for focused content that costs little to produce but is highly interacted with by a small audience segment. 

A branded TikTok account could produce how-to videos, instruction manuals, and much more in video form to foster engagement and genuinely help its audience with minimal investment.

By not taking itself too seriously, The Washington Post TikTok account is also trying to attract the attention of the younger audience that might be too intimidated by the serious stuff, such as economics and political debates. 

An approach that makes a brand seem more human and lighthearted is an excellent way to create TikTok content.

#3 San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo TikTok account rides on the fact everyone on the internet goes “awww” upon seeing cute animal videos. 

With some upbeat music, the “awww” turns into a “wow!” and becomes a viral video that appeals to the carefree kid and kidult audience. When the San Diego Zoo content is spliced with that of another zoo or aquarium, the content reaches a whole new level of amazing.

From the San Diego Zoo TikTok account, we can learn the nifty strategy of posting content in tandem with another account, also known as cross-promotion. 

While this already exists in marketing, doing it over TikTok allows for much more flexibility as completely random brands can interact and create quirky video content that attracts new audiences to all participating brands. 

In this way, all participating brands get their content amplified at no additional cost.

Conclusion

For now, TikTok marketing is still in its early stages but promises a lot of innovation, such as AR marketing that would overlay the real-world camera feed with digital images. 

Until that happens, you should hold off on investing in TikTok marketing but dip your toes in low-level branding and virality experiments to see what works and what doesn’t.

In other words, do participate but don’t anticipate.

TikTok excels at being a unique video platform where everyone can quickly create and share light, fun and engaging video snippets on topics ranging from heavy-hitting politics to fast food menus and zoo animals. 

The ease of cross-promotion and viral sharing makes TikTok a very appealing platform for all kinds of creative video production.

Deep Questions Every Man Should Answer

http://fashion-trendin.com/deep-questions-every-man-should-answer/

Deep Questions Every Man Should Answer

‘Extended adolescence’ is a hotly debated topic, and has been sparked by a generation of twenty-somethings kicking marriage and parenthood into the long grass, while embracing education for longer.

Sure, the fact these aforementioned twenty-somethings may well share rented apartments with strangers deep into their eighties might have something to do with it, but this shouldn’t give you a free pass to ignore life’s big questions.

After all, without getting all mystic and philosophical, even those that believe in an afterlife or reincarnation can agree that life – this one, right here – is short. So it’s probably best you start living it right, right?

With the help of a crack team of professional coaches, we’ve assembled 13 key questions every man should be able to circumnavigate by the time he turns 30. So, if you find yourself struggling, maybe it’s time you put down the Nerf gun (or whatever it is ‘kidults’ play with these days), and take a much-needed stare in the mirror, son.

What, And Who, Deserves My Attention?

“Your ability to know who, what and how you will pay attention to in the world are some of the most important questions you will answer in your lifetime,” claims Australian leadership expert, Neen James.

“This influences your relationships – personally and professionally – and determines your productivity, the achievements in your career, and how you make an impact on the planet. It’s about being thoughtful. It’s about being productive. It’s about being a responsible and considerate human.”

In order to focus on the actions you take and the choices you make, James suggests investing in ‘intentional attention’. “Your attention and willingness to gift people your undivided attention will improve relationships. Your attention to specific career goals will help focus your results, and keep you accountable for prioritising the most important work. Your attention to the planet – through making conscious choices about the resources you use – creates a legacy for the future. This all starts with your attention.”

What Story Is Holding Me Back?

“We all have something that holds us back and keeps us from fulfilling our potential,” says Dale Sims, a UK-based performance coach.

“Maybe it’s a teacher who said you’d never amount to anything, so you grew up thinking you’re not good enough, or a parent who told you not to chase your dreams and to get a ‘real job’, so you limit yourself to a sheltered life.

“These narratives prevent us from living a life we deserve, and affect how much action we take in life, and ultimately our results. Knowing your story is the first step towards conquering it.”

How Satisfied Am I With My Life?

Sandra Richardson is a confidence coach, and often asks her clients to rate various aspects of their life, as part of an exercise called ‘The Wheel of Life’.

“I draw a circle, and divide it into eight segments,” she says. “One is labelled ‘Health’, others will be labelled ‘Fun’, ‘Recreation’, ‘Family’, ‘Romance’, ‘Sex’, and I’ll ask: how satisfied are you in each of these areas, on a scale of zero to 10?

“For example, it’s not about how much money you’ve got, but how satisfied you are with it. It’s almost like taking a bit of a meta-view of your life, which instantly gives you the chance to be more in control.

“If I were to boost my health to a 10, what would it look like? What’s one step I can take towards getting there? It’s a really good way of taking stock.”

What Do I Want?

“By 30 years old, you’ve had a vast amount of experience in each aspect of your life,” says life coach Michael Serwa. “You have had the opportunity to explore what you want in your career, with partners, where you want to live, what you want to spend your time doing and what makes you feel alive.

“It’s time to work on getting it. Without knowing what you want, you can’t focus on it, or work on it. So get clear, get working and go get it.”

What Do I Want To Be Able To Say About My Life When I’m 90?

“We call this the rocking chair test,” says Sims. “Imagine that you’re 90 years old, talking to your great-grandchildren and they say, ‘What has your life been like?’

“What would you want to say to them? That it was filled with regret, of the things you wish you had done but hadn’t had the courage? Or that it was full of excitement, adventure and joy?

“We all have a very limited time on this planet. You can spend yours arguing, comparing yourself to others on social media and turning up to a job you hate, or you can make the most of it while you still have the opportunity.”

Am I Made To Work For Others Or Myself?

“Both are brilliant because both give you different things – the trick is doing what works for you,” claims Serwa.

“By doing the wrong one, you’re wasting your days. Wasting your life. Your life will be much richer when you are doing what fits your values and life blueprint.

How much responsibility do you want? Do you want to be in control of your time? Do you like being told what to do? Or do you like having full creative and locational freedom? “All of these answers will give you the best life has to offer for you. But you have to ask the questions to find out.”

What Does Being A Man Mean To Me?

Post-bro, post-metrosexual and amidst questions surrounding ‘toxic masculinity’, being a man has never been so complex.

“This is a very personal question for each individual man,” admits Richardson. “We used to replicate what our fathers did, or the masculine figures in our life, however, this question means not going on autopilot and repeating what you’ve seen in the past, but consciously choosing. How do I want to be as a man in the world? It’s about personalisation, as opposed to outdated stereotypes.”

Who Inspires Me?

“You are the mean sum of the five people you spend most of your time with,” claims Richardson, “so to actually have someone that inspires you, for example a mentor, actually makes us grow as people.

“It’s great if you have proximity to them, but even if not – you might say Nelson Mandela, and actually, an awareness of the qualities Nelson Mandela had can help you grow as a person.

“If someone inspires us, it lights a flame. We’ve all got all of these energies in us, it’s just about becoming conscious, and choosing to turn the flame up on that part of yourself.”

What Would I Do If I Knew I Couldn’t Fail?

“The fear of failure can be crippling,” says Sims. “We don’t go after the job we want, we don’t speak up when we need to, and we don’t try to lose weight in case it doesn’t go to plan.

“The alternative is easy: opting for the safe choice and, ultimately, a safe life. If you decided to go for what you wanted, you’d see that failure isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because it’s all learning.

“Instead, if you start off down one road and it doesn’t happen to work out the way you’d hoped for, on the journey you might find something out or meet someone else. That new discovery might become the new journey, but you would have never figured it out unless you decided to go for it in the first place.”

What Does Fun Look Like To Me?

At an age where childhood is a distant memory, yet retirement seems an abstract concept, it’s crucial to remember that enjoying yourself is not a crime.

“Fun gives us life, it provides a balance,” says Richardson. “But things that were fun when you were a child, a teenager, or even in your early twenties might no longer be relevant.

“So as you approach 30 – what is fun? What do you love doing? Often people in their thirties get so job focused, but bringing in a bit of fresh energy can enhance your career as well as your life.”

Is Marriage For Me?

Marriage is something most people won’t even question,” admits Serwa. “The rebels and high achievers are the ones who question it. What do you like about marriage? How does it serve you and your partner? Does it support your life vision?

“Because if not, now is the time to get clear, so you can find someone who wants the same as you. You don’t have to settle for the traditional relationship process and dynamic. You can be creative and design the relationship you want with new rules.”

Is Parenting For Me?

“Similar to the societal assumption of marriage, many will assume they want kids without bringing the question to consciousness,” says Serwa. “I say this is dangerous.

“There are many terrible parents out there, simply because if they’d asked this question, they’d find they don’t want them. To know your answer will mean you can commit either way.

“If you want them, you can then plan for it. If you don’t, save yourself and your partner some heartache. Plus, it means you can focus on finding a partner on the same page, and the same mission as you.”

Am I Healthy?

You are alive, but this does not automatically mean your insides are thriving.

Luckily, “You are still young enough at 30 to be able to make massive changes to your health,” says Richardson. “But unless you really do take stock and get conscious of it, then some of the seeds that we’re planting now will manifest at a later stage in life.

“If you never do any exercise then, age 50, man – that’s going to show. If you take it up at 40, it’s better than not taking up at all but, at 30, you’ve still got so much natural, vital energy.”
