Writing Prompt Poll | Story Poll 1.1 | Main Character

I had this idea to do a writing prompt exercise involving polls.

Through polls, I will ask some questions about a story that doesn't exist. Your votes will decide these parts of the story! Essentially we're all contributing to a writing prompt for a short story. (Or a long story; who knows what will happen!) I'll make polls that build off the answers from previous polls, etc., until we get a good idea of the gist of the story, and then, I'm going to write it! (I'd also love if other people wrote their own versions of the final prompt to see where our own personal imaginations take us!)

*I'll be keeping the poll questions/prompts fairly vague on purpose to give a little breathing room for when it comes time to write! I also have never done this before lol so I am winging it with these questions xD

If you would like to be tagged for the future polls of this story, and to be notified of the fully written story at the end by me or others, let me know in the comments or the tags and I will make a list!

Please reblog for bigger sample size & more potential writers to participate!

Let's write a story, everyone!

Results: Good Omens season 3 wish polls

I collected some wishes I've seen fans have for season 3 and made polls out of it. Thanks to everyone for voting diligently! Making the (33!) polls, reading comments were a lot of fun to me! Here is my summary of the results. The bold answer is the most voted one. We will wait and see if some wishes come true ... As soon as season 3 is out I plan to come back for a check! I leave it to future me to make what actually happens in season 3 italic!

Loxley the Honorable Thief Warframe

Here's a fun fact for you, many of you who follow my blog will already know that Loxley was the first frame I had fully planned for this season, but he was also the entire reason for the Duviri melee weapon poll. I knew I wanted him to be a Duviri frame and I knew I wanted him to add a new Duviri melee weapon. He got the glaive. Glaive is the melee I would be most excited to see added to Duviri because I think it would make the Duviri gunplay suck a lot less.

To obtain Loxley players will have to play The Duviri Experience. Neither The Lone Story nor The Circuit will do. During The Duviri Experience players will be able to approach the various courtiers, and in each playthrough one of the five - Mathila on her farm, Lodun in Upperhaven, Bombastine in The Agora, Luscinia in the Chamber of the Muses, and Sythel in her home - excluding the one that currently holds dominion of the spiral will have knowledge of Loxley's whereabouts. Players will have to first find which of the courtiers currently knows Loxley's location and ask them about him. After a short lore dump the courtier will mark Loxley's current position with a pip on all players' HUDs. This location will spawn a new optional objective to defeat Loxley. In his enemy form Loxley will use limited or modified versions of his abilities and weapons and will be immune to damage until a player lands an overcharged shot on him, rendering him vulnerable to damage for the next 18 seconds. When Loxley is defeated he will drop a Lionheart Crest, or two in Steel Path mode. These Lionheart Crests can be exchanged with Lodun in his courtier form in Upperhaven during any spiral other than Anger. Lodun's Lionheart Crest exchange options are as follows:

Loxley blueprint (3 Lionheart Crest)

Loxley chassis blueprint (3 Lionheart Crest)

Loxley neuroptics blueprint (3 Lionheart Crest)

Loxley systems blueprint (3 Lionheart Crest)

Marian blueprint (8 Lionheart Crest)

1,500 Kuva (1 Lionheart Crest)

1 Aya (1 Lionheart Crest)

Melee Riven Mod (5 Lionheart Crests, limit 1 per day)

Pistol Riven Mod (5 Lionheart Crests, limit 1 per day)

Rifle Riven Mod (5 Lionheart Crests, limit 1 per day)

Shotgun Riven Mod (5 Lionheart Crests, limit 1 per day)

Archgun Riven Mod (5 Lionheart Crests, limit 1 per day)

Companion Riven Mod (5 Lionheart Crests, limit 1 per day)

Health: 275 (375 at rank 30) Shields: 275 (375 at rank 30) Armor: 300 Energy: 125 (175 at rank 30) Sprint Speed: 1.1

Passive: Loxley is a master thief and can open lockers with both green and red locks. Lockers with black locks still cannot be opened. Loxley is also guaranteed one extra item drop from every locker he opens.

Ability 1: Nightshade, 25 energy. With a flourish, Loxley brandishes and then throws up to 10 throwing knives dipped in a cocktail of toxins. Each knife hits an enemy within a 6 meter radius around him or in a 30 degree, 30 meter cone in front of him. Each enemy struck is put to sleep for up to 20 seconds. Sleeping enemies are vulnerable to melee finisher attacks. During this sleep each affected enemy takes 50 times 1+X (where X is equal to the enemy's level divided by 10) gas damage once every two seconds with a guaranteed gas status proc. Gas damage dealt by Nightshade does not contribute to enemies' wake-up threshold.

Ability 2: Highwaymen, 50 energy. Loxley confuses enemies by summoning a pair of body doubles, flanking him on his left and right at a distance of 6 meters. The two Highwaymen have double Loxley's health and shields but no armor and draw enemy fire. The two Highwaymen will also mimic Loxley's actions, aiming in the same location as he does. The Highwaymen only deal 10% of Loxley's damage with weapon attacks but can apply critical hits and status, and when Loxley casts Nightshade his Highwaymen will cast a lesser version of the ability which only throws a maximum of five knives and aims their targeting cones at 90 degree angles to Loxley's. Highwaymen last for up to 20 seconds or until killed. When one of the body doubles summoned by Highwaymen dies it is guaranteed to drop either a primary ammo pickup, secondary ammo pickup, or health orb.

Ability 3: Subterfuge, toggled ability, drains 3 energy per second. Combining stealth and explosives the guerilla tactics offered by Subterfuge can be used in both open combat and infiltration missions. While Subterfuge is active Loxley becomes invisible to enemies and gains the ability to turn various objects into deadly traps. By approaching an object such as a locker, destructible crate, or console and pressing the interact key Loxley sets up an explosive trap upon it for a cost of 10 energy which lasts up to 20 seconds or until triggered. When any enemy comes within 8 meters of the trapped object it detonates, dealing 500 times 1+X (where X is equal to the enemy's level divided by 10) blast damage with a guaranteed status proc to all enemies within 20 meters. While lockers and crates are booby-trapped they cannot be opened. Firing a non-silent weapon will temporarily break the cloak. Loxley will re-cloak shortly after firing the weapon.

Ability 4: Band of Merry Men, 100 energy. Loxley summons his Merry Men to overwhelm his foes with sudden and brutal force. When cast Loxley summons a platoon of uncontrolled, stationary archers at his location. They will begin rapidly firing a stream of arrows aimed at the point indicated by Loxley's crosshairs when the ability was cast. The stream of arrows lasts for 10 seconds, has a height of three meters, a width of twelve meters, and infinite range. All enemies caught in the Band of Merry Men's arrows takes 250+X (where X is equal to the enemy's level) each of impact, puncture, and slash damage every half-second with 25% status chance.

Subsumed ability: Nightshade.

Signature Weapons Marian: Loxley's iconic sidearm, the Marian, is a silent secondary weapon categorized as a crossbow. After the Marian's blueprint is purchased from Lodun it is crafted at the cost of 1 Ballistica, 100 Rune Marrow, 100 Saggen Pearl, and 250 Lamentus as well as a cost of 20,000 credits. Marian has a semi-auto trigger and very high damage for a secondary crossbow at the cost of slower attack speed and a larger magazine at the cost of a slower reload. Marian has above-normal critical and status chance and deals roughly even values of impact, puncture, and slash. The Marian also has a unique passive effect: While standing still and aiming down sights the Marian deals +50% bonus damage to enemy weak points. As Loxley's signature secondary weapon he can reload the Marian faster than other warframes. Lionheart: Loxley's signature melee weapon, the Lionheart, is a truly exceptional and strange weapon. A pair of blades spiral outward from its slender grip giving the Lionheart a hypnotic effect when spun at just the right speed. Lionheart can be purchased for the Drifter in Teshin’s cave for 50 Pathos Clamp, unlocking the blueprint for warframe use which is crafted using assorted materials from the Duviri game mode. As a glaive the Lionheart can be dual wielded with the Sirocco by the Drifter while in Duviri, and by warframes alongside any single pistol secondary weapon. Lionheart deals mostly slash, moderate puncture, and low impact damage with above-normal values of both status and crit. Lionheart has fairly normal attack speed and per-hit damage for a glaive. Unlike other Duviri weapons the Lionheart's special attack is not triggered by guarding heavy attacks but instead by mid-air detonation after throwing. Mid-air detonations always apply a forced slash status proc in a 6 meter explosion, and on a 30 second cooldown will also cause affected enemies to become Lifted for six seconds. Melee kills decrease the cooldown on the thrown detonation's lifting effect by 1 second. In Loxley's hands melee kills decrease remaining special attack cooldown by 1.25 seconds.

Closing Notes: Loxley ended up being a bit hard, I didn't want him to end up with too much overlap with other frames. I don't think there's anything wrong with him but I do think that this is overall not one of my more special designs. Once again aside from obvious references to the Robin Hood mythology there's no Easter eggs here worth pointing out.

Cosmere's #1 Man- Battle Royale

Hello, Sterris Harms here to run the first ever Cosmere Tumblr Sexyman bracket. The phenomenon of the Tumblr sexyman has baffled me for quite some time, so I think instead of going with stories told that I have no context for, I am instead going to use some people who are a bit more local. To that end, with a list provided in an ally while drunk by Wax's driver, I am going to try to use you, dear reader, cosmere's #1 man.

Unlike most standard sexyman brackets, we will not be using brackets at all for the first half; Instead, each character will be voted for elimination style, with the top 4 contestants from each poll continuing to the next round. Once this has reduced it to 8 characters, then the bracketing will commence.

Day 1.1 Lirin, Raoden, Spook, Human the Koloss, Mistborn, Sadeas, Allomancer Jak, Amaram, and Breeze. 

Day 1.2: Wax, Dockson, Moash, Handerwym, Ati, Gavilar, Rlain

Special Round: Straff Venture vs Vanilla Extract.

Poll 1.1: Best Fitz Duo

Notes

This is based on dynamic and story—the characters' interactions, how interesting they are, and the implications for the characters and series.

Propaganda, bribery, and voter fraud are all allowed.

This is for fun and not meant to be serious. If you're rude, I will block you without hesitation.

Introduction Post

Welcome to my blog! I am an author/artist/byler enthusiast called Jean! This blog is for my comic series/fic: Make Me Want to Believe it’s Okay! 

This story is set in an alternate universe, where the characters go to a modern version of Hawkins High. The comic and fic have the same storyline, but the fic is more in depth. Usually, one page of the comic is uploaded a week, but I’ve been a bit pressed for time lately. Each chapter has around 10 pages, at the end of which that chapter of the fic would usually be uploaded, but recently I’ve just been uploading the fic whenever I finish a chapter.

If you have any questions, my ask box is constantly open!

Maximize Your brand visibility

“Maximize Your Brand Visibility: Innovative Marketing Approaches”

In today’s crowded digital marketplace, brand visibility faces more competition than ever before. Standing out requires not only a strong product or service but also a strategic approach to marketing. One of the key objectives for any business is to maximize brand visibility, ensuring that your audience knows who you are, what you offer, and why they should care. In this blog, we’ll explore innovative marketing approaches that can elevate your brand’s presence and visibility.

What is Brand Visibility?

Brand visibility refers to how easily your target audience can recognize and recall your brand across different touchpoints. It is a measure of your brand’s presence in the minds of consumers, influenced by marketing efforts, customer engagement, and brand exposure.

Why is Brand Visibility Important?

Increased visibility means that your brand will come to mind when consumers are ready to make a purchasing decision. A highly visible brand can generate trust, lead to customer loyalty, and enhance brand equity. The more recognizable and accessible your brand is, the more opportunities you have to convert potential leads into loyal customers.

Innovative Marketing Approaches to Enhance Brand Visibility

To stand out from the competition, it’s important to adopt innovative marketing approaches. Traditional marketing methods still have their place, but combining them with new, creative techniques can lead to better results.

1.Content Marketing with a Twist

Content marketing remains one of the most effective ways to build visibility, but it’s important to keep your approach fresh.

1.1 Leverage Interactive Content

Interactive content such as quizzes, polls, infographics, and interactive videos engage audiences on a deeper level. Unlike static content, interactive formats encourage participation, making your audience spend more time with your brand. This increases engagement and the chances of them sharing your content.

1.2 Use User-Generated Content (UGC)

UGC not only promotes authenticity but also boosts your brand’s credibility. Encourage your customers to create content about your products or services—whether it’s a review, testimonial, or social media post. Sharing this user-generated content increases visibility because people trust other consumers more than brand-created ads.

2.Influencer Marketing with Micro-Influencers

While influencer marketing isn’t new, the approach has evolved significantly. The rise of micro-influencers—those with smaller but highly engaged audiences—has proven to be more effective for certai

2.1 Why Micro-Influencers?

Micro-influencers tend to have a closer, more personal connection with their followers. Their endorsements are perceived as more genuine, which can lead to higher trust and engagement rates compared to celebrity endorsements.

2.2 Collaborate for Authentic Content

Work with influencers to create authentic, story-driven content rather than straightforward product placements. This will make your brand feel more relatable, further increasing visibility among their followers who may not yet be familiar with your brand.

3.Omnichannel Marketing for Unified Brand Experience

A consistent brand presence across multiple channels increases the chances of reaching your target audience wherever they spend their time.

3.1 Utilize a Seamless Cross-Channel Strategy

Your customers may interact with your brand on various platforms—from social media and email to physical stores and websites. Providing a seamless experience across all these touchpoints ensures that your message is consistent, helping customers recognize your brand more easily.

3.2 Implement Data-Driven Personalization

Use customer data to create personalized marketing experiences. For example, sending personalized emails based on past purchase behavior or targeting ads based on user preferences can make your marketing efforts more effective and memorable.

4.Experiential Marketing for Memorable Interactions

Experiential marketing creates memorable, in-person or digital experiences that allow consumers to engage with your brand in a meaningful way.

4.1 Host Branded Events or Pop-Ups

Creating physical or virtual events where consumers can interact with your products or services first-hand can have a lasting impact. Pop-up stores, brand-sponsored festivals, or virtual product demonstrations can create buzz and increase brand visibility.

4.2 Use Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR)

With the advancement of VR and AR technology, brands can now offer immersive experiences that transport users into a branded environment. For instance, IKEA’s AR app allows users to visualize how furniture would look in their homes, creating a more engaging and personalized shopping experience.

5.Search Engine Optimization (SEO) with a Focus on Voice Search

As more consumers turn to voice-activated devices like smart speakers and mobile assistants, optimizing your brand’s online presence for voice search can significantly boost visibility.

5.1 Voice Search Optimization

Voice searches are different from text searches; they tend to be more conversational and long-tail. To optimize for voice search, focus on natural language and long-tail keywords. Additionally, ensure your website is mobile-friendly and loads quickly, as voice searches often occur on mobile devices.

5.2 Featured Snippets and Local SEO

Position your brand to appear in featured snippets (often called “position zero”) by answering common customer questions directly on your website. This boosts your chances of being read aloud by virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa. Local SEO is also crucial, especially for businesses with a physical presence, as voice searches often have local intent, such as “restaurants near me.”

6.Social Media Stories and Ephemeral Content

Ephemeral content, which disappears after a short period (like Instagram Stories or Snapchat), creates a sense of urgency and exclusivity that can drive engagement.

6.1 Take Advantage of Instagram and Facebook Stories

Instagram and Facebook Stories offer brands the opportunity to engage users with daily, behind-the-scenes content. The temporary nature of this content encourages users to keep up with your brand on a regular basis, increasing visibility.

6.2 Leverage Polls and Q&A Features

results analysis!

im bad at math especially where percents are involved so please correct me if i fuck something up

bear in mind that converts-in-progress are grouped as jewish for the purposes of this poll

not sure how there are decimal points of voters but i guess tumblr does some fuckery

Converting to Numbers

yes jewish: 26.7% of 2,041 = 544.947

no jewish: 1.1% of 2,041 = 22.451

total jewish respondents: 567.398

yes not jewish: 46.2% of 2,041 = 942.942

no not jewish: 26.1% of 2,041 = 532.701

total non jewish respondents = 1,475.643

something's not adding up here bc the total of this number is 2,043 but there are only 2,041 votes

Percentages Within Groups

Around 96% of Jewish voters responded yes and around 4% of Jewish voters responded 'no'

Around 64% of non-Jewish voters responded 'yes' and around 36% of non-Jewish voters responded 'no'

Overall, around 28% of respondents are Jewish and 72% are not.

Results are Skewed

Beyond all the usual factors that make tumblr polls not representative of anything and mostly just for fun, these results- specifically the amount of non-Jewish voters voting yes- do not reflect how many poll respondents actually know the Chanukah story. Rather, it reflects how many of them think they know the story. (Of course, this can apply to Jewish voters as well, but it's less likely to be as widespread of an issue and less suspect from the tags.)

In the tags on this post, many goyim who voted 'yes' spoke about the miracle of the oil, but made no mention of the historical context- no Seleucids, no Antiochus, no Hasmoneans, no Maccabees, no disputes between kohanim, etc. It's unclear whether they know about this history or thought the miracle of the oil is the subject of the poll.

Others in the tags said what they thought the history was and it was just straight up wrong and missing information- something like "the Jews hid from persecution and didn't have enough oil but then they found oil"- and it's unclear whether they voted yes or no.

Another thing frequently mentioned in the tags is that they learned the Chanukah story in elementary school and therefore voted yes. Now, admittedly I have no idea what a public school ~diverse holiday education~ curriculum looks like, but there was no further elaboration that clearly shows knowledge of the history, so I can't be sure what they were taught. If anyone who learned it in a non-Jewish/public elementary school wants to elaborate on what exactly you learned please do!

Many people also responded that they learned the history from Rugrats. Rugrats is great! The brief history there is accurate enough and reflects what you'd imbibe from growing up Jewish with your average Jewish children's education.

without looking it up, do you know the basics of the chanukah story, meaning the history and reason we celebrate, as opposed to, for example, just knowing that it's a jewish holiday in the winter where we light menorahs

answer using the jewish options if you're in the process of converting
