#then they go on to demonstrate how easy it is to get into a TikTok 'conspiracy theory' rabbit hole

[realasslesbian]

Just had myself in fully loaded critical thinking mode the entire way through this ‘investigation’. Like, what tf is a ‘routine welfare check for a missing person’? Where is the mention of all the information police had about these people (i.e. abuse, assaults, possession of illegal weapons, breaking of COVID-19 laws, etc). Why did they send a cop with EIGHT WEEKS EXPERIENCE into this property, when they had all this information? Why are the cops now trying to purchase the property? Where is the actual evidence that these people had any religion, let alone this being an extremist religious terrorist attack? In the footage of ‘right-wing neo-Nazi pro-Trump conspiracy theorists protesting COVID-19 policies’ where are the actual violent protesters? Because all I could see was police beating the shit outta people for no reason. Lizzy said ‘this trio dehumanised the police they had ‘ambushed’ so they could kill them’ but isn’t that what the government, government authorities, police, etc, do to the rest of us everyday? Dehumanise us so they can control us, steal from us, kill us? Like, something stinks here, and it’s definitely the Australian government and its usual subversive shit.

Got inspired by the below tiktok and the idea of the Rogues killing the Joker in revenge for Jason instead of Bruce and had to write about it.

Here, have probably way too many words (with more to come most likely, this really won't leave me alone) of the Rogue's feelings about Jason's death at the Joker's hands and everything that followed.

(also I know the timeline is a bit screwy, shhh just go with it, we're going on vibes with this one lol)

Childhood was not held universally sacred in the dark streets of Gotham.

The city was hard and cruel and she didn’t care about the ages of those that were ground up and spit out in her oily black heart.

A kid could slit your throat as easy as a man grown in a place like their fine city, maybe easier even for those who still fell for the ideal of children being incapable of anything but innocence and sweetness. Children learned from the world around them though, they learned from the savagery that filled their world, the hard scrabble desperate attempts to survive. They learned what dark corners to avoid, which ones were safer to skitter down.

It didn’t mean there weren’t still some rules of decency to be honored though.

Most folks, even those in the circle of the Rogues, largely left kids out of the equation. Crossfire happened of course, hitting busy city centers always meant some kind of collateral. But there wasn’t much that they got out of purposefully hurting kids outside a black mark on their name in most levels of the grungy underbelly of the city and one hell of a big target on their back. Both from the Bat and those criminals in the dark with them that took offense to those kinds of things. They were crooks, but with few exceptions they weren’t complete monsters.

Robin had always held an interesting place in their grungy little ecosystem. Anything to do with the Bat was generally ruled as gloves-off, do what you do without hesitation. And Robin - both of ‘em - had no problem hitting hard and being ruthless. The first one in particular had a feral sort of rage to him that was a terrifying thing to be on the business end of.

But they were still kids.

Defending yourself from any kid swinging on you was fair game, a person had the right to defend themselves. Grabbing up Robin to hold hostage or bait Gotham’s local cryptid, that was all fine and dandy. You could even get away with roughing the kid up a little here and there, so long as you made sure not to go too far and always kept hits to where the kid’s armor was the thickest. No hard and fast written rules, mind, but general rules of thumbs. Lines indistinct due to the shaky ground a child dancing through the night as a vigilante left all of them on, but ones clear enough that you knew when you were at risk of going too far.

Besides, the Robins were good kids. Fucking feral little shits, of course, able to leave you bleeding just as easy from a kick as they were a sharp word. But good kids. Even most the Rogues in the Gallery liked em. It was hard not to be at least a little fond of a gutsy little punk like that.

Though they were all maybe a tad less nervous around Robin II than they were the original.

Robin I had a lot of anger burning in him, a lot of anger in him, but he was still a cheerful boy with a bright attitude that was refreshing in a world so bleak and dark as the one they all lived in. It was up in the air which was scarier about the kid: The smiled he gave when he was about to give a hands on demonstration about how much force a tiny ten year old could put into a kick when they had half a dozen spins shoved into a flip to wind up to 80 miles an hour, or the flash of his teeth when he was demonstrating the knife sharp brilliance of his belief that Batman was only as frightening as Robin was hopeful.

They weren’t sure if he realized that sometimes they felt a helluva lot more hope at the sight of the Bat when the little bird was putting the hurt on them, or if he’d simply folded that fact neatly into his core philosophy without issue.

Robin II on the other hand had this kind of quiet shyness to him - even as he was shouting the most inventive swears ever heard by human ear at someone while he kicked them in the balls hard enough to make ‘em see not just the face of their own god but a few dozen besides. He was just as unhinged as the Robin before him - seemed to be a requirement for the job really - but there was a distinct different in how the two birds flitted about the darkened skyline of the city. Where the first Robin’s smile was as much danger as it was dazzle, a fanged declaration of victory against the dark, Robin II’s was a sunny, stubborn declaration of perseverance. Kid was sassy and smart, and never - ever - flinched away from extending a hand to those he thought in need of it.

Even if the folks he offered that hand to were in the middle of an attack on some fancy Gala or Wayne Enterprises or whatever target of the week it was. Even knowing the offered hand was likely to be slapped away and followed by a right hook. Kid still always tried.

They all knew why.

The Bat was big on offering chances, on rehabilitation rather than damnation. Some of Robin II being the way he was came from the broody cryptid he followed around. But Batman couldn’t claim to be the sole reason for Robin II being the way he was, couldn’t even pretend to be the cause of most of it. Nah, they knew why the little bird was the way he was.

That unmistakable thick accent. That frame that was always a little too thin even as he got older and stronger. That unshakable, headstrong spirit.

Robin II was an Alley Kid.

A true child of Gotham.

Her polluted waters in his veins. Her smoggy air in his lungs. Her shadows clinging to his edges less like a beast looking to swallow a small bird up and more like a protective mother hiding her hatchling. He understood the world most of them came from. The one they all lived in. Knew it in a way anyone who hadn’t been swallowed up by the dark never really could.

Everyone had their favorite, but even those that claimed the first Robin as theirs couldn’t deny that Robin II was someone to be respected. Nor could they deny a fondness for the chain smoking, classic lit referencing, perpetually baby-faced little shit. They’d all had knock out drag out fights with the kid and knew how fucking unhinged the puny motherfucker could be in a fight, but he always tempered it with offers of resources, of a listening ear, of understanding.

He visited them after they’d been arrested sometimes. In Arkham, or Blackgate or wherever else they’d been locked up in after being stopped by the Dynamic Duo. The little bird would make the rounds whenever he had a broken wing or was stuck waiting as the Bat interrogated someone else or for any other reason he wasn’t out flitting about the city skyline at night. He’d bring cookies or snacks and even cigarettes from his own secret stash on the rare occasion, mask unable to hide the furtive glances around to check for the living shadow that was the disapproving Bat.

The Rogues and their Goons always had a soft spot for the Robins. And Robin II made it especially easy to let fondness bleed out of them from time to time. He was a good kid.

But childhood was not held universally sacred in the dark streets of Gotham.

Bad things happened to good kids all the time.

And some of the monsters that lurked in the city’s darkest shadows took the black mark of a kid killer as a point of pride.

Robin II disappeared one day. Just after that piece of shit Garzonas took the fast way down from the top of a tall building. There were a lot of Rogues with doctoral degrees to their names but even those Goons that dropped out of school before they learned to spell their own names could do that math.

The big bad Bat had benched the boy after the fierce little bird had done what any decent member of the criminal underbelly would have. There were those that thought maybe it’d been an accident, that the kid was pulled off duty because of being too upset at unintentionally crossing the heavy line the Bat drew in the sand. Those voices were drowned out pretty quick though.

Sure, Robin II was all about second chances, of doing better, of redemption. But Garzonas had chances to spare and only ever spat in the face of those offering them. Doubled down on being a monster in a way very, very few of the Rogues Gallery would. The kid was a sweetheart, but he wasn’t no push over and there were some things so heinous that there was only one way of handling them. Crime Alley had its own kind of justice system, and when faced with a monster that was beyond even Batman’s jurisdiction, Robin II did what he always did: fell back on his roots.

Or so the rumors said, at least.

That was the thing about Gotham’s seedy underbelly. It was a grimy, wretched nest of vipers and cut-throats, but it was also worse than any beauty parlor when it came to gossip. No one actually knew anything other than that piece of shit motherfucker took a dive while Robin was chasing him and that he’d not been seen on the streets since. But most had a fondness for the kid, and a distaste for the kind of cruelty Garzonas reveled in and there was no proof that Robin hadn’t gone and done the world a favor by drop kicking that barbaric sack of shit off a roof. So as far as most in the Gallery were concerned, the little bird had stepped up and been a hero.

Time passed. Not a lot. But enough. The Bat disappeared too, popping up on an entire other continent in a way that was awfully tempting. Even with other Masks playing baby sitter while the local cryptid was away. Rogues were scrambling to set plans in motion, Goons getting hired en masse, weapons and weird chemicals getting delivered to shady places across Gotham by the truck-full. The criminal underbelly was abuzz with the same excited energy of children the day before a big birthday party.

And then the news came in.

There were people in the dark who made their living finding things out. Knowing things that no one else did or could. Some even specialized, keeping tabs on Batman and Robin better than anyone else in the business were able. And when the information they found wasn’t anything handy to have tucked into a back pocket or a secret they were paid extremely well to keep? They held on to with the same tenacity a sieve clung to water.

Robin II had run off across the globe and ended up in Ethiopia. Something to do with a doctor doing aid work, the same something that had the Bat end up there was the assumption. Kid ran off to handle things himself or was sent on a separate path on purpose for some plan or other the Bat had cooked up on his hunt.

Whatever the reason, the kid crossed paths with the Clown.

Alone.

Childhood was not held universally sacred in the dark streets of Gotham. The city was hard and cruel and she didn’t care about the ages of those that were ground up and spit out in her oily black heart. But Robin II was hers, the child of her heart, an exception to the rule. And besides, most folks - even those in the Rogues Gallery - largely left the purposeful harm of kids out of the equation.

The Joker wasn’t most folks.

And the little bird was a long way away from the protective shadows of his mother city.

The Rogues and their Goons always had a soft spot for the Robins. And Robin II made it especially easy to let fondness bleed out of them from time to time. He was a good kid.

When the news broke, it broke most of them right along with it.

Plans stalled. Schemes ended. Gotham, for an unnervingly quiet stretch of time that neither its civilians or the world at large understood, went still. Crime continued, of course, but the big names weren’t seen. It was only right, by the standards of those that lived their lives in the dark, that they hold off and give the man that fought them all so relentlessly over the past years the time he needed to focus on hunting down the monster that killed his son. He didn’t need the distraction, and they all owed it to Robin II not to interfere while the Bat at last put a final end to the Clown.

And the hellish cryptid would need his full focus on this one. The Joker wasn’t one to take lightly at the best of times, but he’d set himself up neatly in the middle of a nasty bear trap. Ugly and complicated in the way everything with the Clown was. Interference from the CIA, from the UN, from Superman.

Shit went down. People heard about the Bat and the Clown throwing down in a helicopter plummeting from the sky in one hell of a water landing. Big Blue fished Batman out of the drink before he could drown but there’d been no sign of the Joker.

But the Bat would find him.

They all knew the relentless bastard would find him. It was just a matter of time. With the hellish drive of a demon straight from Gotham’s darkest shadows, the Bat would track the grinning, child killing ghoul down and make right the terrible wrong the evil motherfucker had done. Batman would hunt him to the ends of the earth and enact the justice he held up so fiercely. Robin II would have the vengeance the kid so rightly deserved.

It was just a matter of time. So they waited. And waited.

Days.

Weeks.

Months.

The Clown still lived.

The world, impossibly, began to move on. The Bat returned to his lurking in the night, picking off gangs and petty crooks and no-name gangsters as if nothing had happened at all. More vicious, more savage, but failing to turn that rise in brutality into the killing blow against the one figure that so rightly deserved it.

No one knew what was happening. There were rumors and theories, as there always were in the underground. Some thought that it wasn’t the Bat at all back in Gotham but someone else pretending for awhile, looking after his neglected city while he continued his pursuit of the Joker. Other held that it was the Bat but the whole thing was a ploy to draw the Clown out into the open. A pretense at not caring meant to get under the Clown’s skin, make the asshole mad enough to get stupid and sloppy and reveal himself.

That the man simply had given up was beyond comprehension. Beyond what any upstanding Rogue could accept. So it simply couldn’t be true. There was a trick being played. Some brilliant game of 4D chess that none of them had been able to parse out. It’d be revealed in time, and they see the brilliant trap that had been set. The Clown would be lured out, the Bat would put him down for good, and then they’d all at last raise a glass to the little bird that had been shot down far too soon and smoke shitty cigarettes and quote literary masters and mourn the loss one of Gotham’s own true children.

They just had to play along. Stumbling forward back into their usual habits, pretending that it was a choice and not the world just forcibly dragging them along. It’d make sense, eventually. The Bat had a plan. Robin II wasn’t forgotten, his killer not left free to roam and ravage unpunished for what he’d done.

And then one day there was a new bird flitting across the rooftops.

Chasing the Bat’s looming frame like a reverse shadow. Bright flashes of color in contrast to the bleak darkness of Gotham’s grimy nights. Small and thin and young.

Not the first Robin. With his showman bright grin and bloody rage and unwavering belief in the terrifying power of hope. Not the brilliant, vicious little boy that they’d seen grow over the years into the fierce and fearless Nightwing.

Not Robin II either.

Not Gotham’s soft hearted little bruiser with his unshakable belief that people could be better if given the chance, shinning so bright in the dark as he held out a hand that even the Rogues had no choice but to believe right along with him sometimes. Not the tough little songbird they’d never get to see grow up. Unavenged and unhonored. Put in a box and buried in the ground with a name none of them would ever know carved into a stone they’d never be able to visit.

No.

It was a new Robin.

A new child with the R emblazoned upon his chest.

Sharp and quick and young in the way the birds always were when they started flying at the Bat’s side. Every inch of the boy’s tiny frame a tragedy and an insult. One very, very few of Gotham’s vicious underbelly were willing to tolerate.

Childhood was not held universally sacred in the dark streets of Gotham, but there was a damn big difference between holding something sacred and not giving a damn about it at all. There were rules unspoken but understood, a way things were done. Nothing so solid or concrete as a code of conduct, more a collection of time honored traditions. Blood for blood was among the oldest and truest, and the more precious the person taken the more vital and vicious payment was to be made in kind.

The Clown had killed Robin II.

Beaten the kid half to death and then finished the job with a bomb.

Everyone knew he’d done it laughing all the way.

The Bat should have done the same in kind. Done worse. It was justice, it was what was right. You kill a kid you’re marked forever. You kill one so well liked and kill ‘em like that and you’re destined for a cruel and cold death. The Bat had first dibs. It was his kid. It was his right to put an end to that awful laughter and let his son have peace at last.

But he never did.

Nightwing had. For a bit. For a moment.

Robin I, who half the time had scared them all more than the Bat ever could. Dazzling and dizzying and dangerous. Gave back the pain and hurt the Clown had forced upon him with clenched fists and bone shattering hits. They were glad for him, that he was able to beat the monster who had taken his little brother from him to death, that he was able to have such justice.

And then the Bat stepped in.

Revived the fucking Clown.

A slap in the face. The snapping crack of a spine beneath one straw too many. The final, unforgivable insult the man had dared visit upon not just the child taken from him but the entirety of Gotham.

The Rogues and their Goons always had a soft spot for the Robins. Respected their ferocity, admired their moxie, marveled at their ability to keep shining in the dark like they did. Robin II made it especially easy to let fondness bleed out of the city’s dirty criminal underbelly from time to time.

He was a good kid.

He deserved better.

Better than the silence and peace he should be granted in death to be marred by the mad cackles of his killer still running around alive and unpunished. Better than his father giving up, returning to the same old routine as if nothing had happened at all. Better than the Bat snatching up a new bird less than a year later.

Gotham and her Rogues had given the Bat time enough to do what needed to be done.

It was their turn.

Syncing Dream [Aespa x M!Reader]

Side 1. Goal to fame with Giselle

Note: ik the poll was Karina….but it’s Gigi’s birthday sooo she won today 👍

Anyway, Side stories begin!

Masterlist here

This took place after Chapter 36

It was one of those usual breaks. Y/n walking on Giselle's room to ask if she needed some snack. However, he was met with a gleam of mischief in her eyes.

“So,” she began, locking her gaze on him with a grin that could only mean trouble. “Today’s the day you finally embrace your inner Gen Z.”

He raised an eyebrow, glancing at the TikTok app she had open. “Is that supposed to mean anything specific, or…?”

“Obviously!” Giselle laughed, pulling him closer. “You’re officially getting a crash course in TikTok. I’ve been meaning to teach you anyway, and the fans are practically begging for more manager content since last time. Time to boost that ‘cool factor’ of yours.”

“My cool factor?” Y/n feigned offense, crossing his arms. “Ya, I’m already the coolest person since-”

“-elementary school? Got it,” Giselle said with a smirk. “But I’m here to make you even cooler. I mean, you’re already dating Minjeong. You have to live up to those expectations, right?”

“Oh, so you’re doing this for her sake?”

“Ehhhhh… also for my entertainment,” she shot back, tapping her phone to set up the camera. “Now, let’s start with the basics. We’re going to do some trending TikTok dances.”

“Great,” Y/n said, rolling his eyes but smiling. “An ex-trainee now being tutored to become a TikTok influencer.”

Giselle shot him a look. “Ya, Y/n, we all have seen you dance, and, well… you’ve got potential. Let’s just say that.”

“Gee, thanks.”

With the camera positioned and recording, Giselle began demonstrating the dance. She moved fluidly, breaking down each step as she went. “Okay, so you just hit this beat, and then you pop your shoulders like this. After that, we do a little wave… Now, let’s try it together!”

Y/n did his best to follow along, but his timing was off, his arms flailed awkwardly, and his attempt at the wave looked more like a mime act gone wrong. He glanced over at Giselle, who was valiantly trying to keep a straight face.

“Y/n, you look like you’re doing the robot at a disco. Loosen up a bit!”

“I’m trying!” he protested, laughing despite himself. “I'm not used to this!”

Giselle burst out laughing, clutching her stomach. “Alright, alright, let’s move on to something simpler. Here, let’s do a lip-sync. All you have to do is mouth the words on time. Easy enough?”

She queued up a short clip of a popular song and handed him her phone, nodding encouragingly. Y/n took a deep breath, squinting at the words as the track played.

“What’s the song supposed to be?” he asked, his expression a mix of concentration and confusion.

“It’s a classic,” Giselle grinned. “Now, go for it!”

Y/n attempted to lip-sync, mumbling words here and there, his expressions overly dramatic. He missed the timing completely, but he nailed a ridiculous eyebrow raise that made Giselle double over in laughter. She was practically on the floor, clutching her sides.

“Oh my gosh, that was so bad,” she gasped, wiping tears from her eyes. “But in a good way!”

“Bad in a good way?” he repeated, grinning sheepishly. “That sounds in brand for me.”

“Definitely.”

Giselle set the phone down and shook her head. “Alright, I’m going to teach you how to do the full ‘Supernova’ dance. You know, the one that made you famous?”

“Yeah, because that’s not a lot of pressure,” he replied sarcastically, remembering how he had accidentally gone viral for the dance cover. “What if I mess it up again?”

Giselle waved her hand dismissively. “You won’t. Just follow my lead, and this time, add a little charm. Think of Minjeong cheering you on.”

One certainly couldn't refuse when your girlfriend was on the line.

“Okay, okay,” he relented, trying to channel all the confidence he had when performing with Aespa. As Giselle demonstrated the moves, he mirrored her, his movements a little less stiff this time.

“See? You’re getting the hang of it,” she said, nodding in approval.

“Yeah, but you have to admit, it’s easier to look cool when you’re not the one leading,” Y/n replied, sweat beginning to form as he concentrated on the routine.

“True, but we all know you’ve got the moves,” Giselle said with a wink. “Let’s do it again, but this time, you need to add a little something to your performance.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Like what? Should I throw in a wink or something?”

“Exactly! You need to give the people what they want. Think: you’re the main character!” she exclaimed, clapping her hands together. “Ready? One more time!”

After several rounds of practice, Y/n finally started to feel like he was getting it. The energy between them was electric, and he couldn’t help but enjoy the fun of it all.

-

As they took a break, Giselle leaned against the couch, catching her breath. “Okay, next lesson. I need you to learn some Gen Z slang before we record the next TikTok. First up, ‘slay.’”

“Slay?” He thought for a moment, then answered confidently, “Like… when you kill it at something. Like you did an amazing job.”

“Not bad, not bad,” she said, nodding approvingly. “Alright, next one: ‘no cap.’”

Y/n scratched his head, looking puzzled. “Uh… does it have to do with hats?”

Giselle burst out laughing again. “No, no! It means ‘no lie’ or ‘I’m being serious.’ Like, ‘That dance you did was terrible, no cap.’”

“Oh,” he said, pretending to be offended. “Thanks for the honesty, Giselle. Real supportive of you right there.”

“Hey, that’s what friends are for,” she teased. “Alright, last one. If I say something is ‘low-key,’ what does that mean?”

“Uh…” He squinted, trying to decipher the term. “Like, low effort?”

Giselle clapped her hands, shaking her head. “Not quite! It means something you’re kind of downplaying. Like, ‘I’m low-key obsessed with that new show.’ You’re interested, but you’re not making a big deal out of it.”

He nodded slowly. “Wow, okay. You guys have a whole other language. How am I supposed to keep up with this?”

“Lucky for you, I’ll be your translator,” she teased, patting him on the back. “Now, let’s try one more TikTok. Maybe we can redeem that last performance.”

-

Giselle set up the camera for a final challenge, picking a funny, quick lip-sync that even Y/n couldn’t mess up. This time, they did it together, playing off each other’s expressions. Giselle’s energy was infectious, and Y/n finally loosened up, letting himself get swept into the silly moment. They played up the scene, trading exaggerated glances and goofy expressions. By the time they finished, both of them were laughing uncontrollably.

“Okay, I’ll post that one,” Giselle said, her thumbs tapping rapidly as she uploaded it. “Trust me; it’s gold.”

They didn’t think much of it—until a few hours later when Giselle’s phone blew up with notifications. She stared at the screen, eyes wide.

“Uh… Y/n?”

“Yeah?” he replied, glancing up from his laptop.

“You went viral. Again.” She showed him the video, which had already racked up thousands of likes and comments.

"Again?" He blinked, stunned. “Wait, seriously? Why? We didn’t even do anything special.”

“That’s the beauty of TikTok!” Giselle laughed, scrolling through the comments. “‘Manager Oppa is iconic,’” she read aloud, snickering. “‘Y/n just gives off that energy.’ Oh, and look—‘Is he single?’”

Y/n’s face flushed. “Alright, alright, maybe this TikTok thing isn’t so bad.”

“Wait, I have an idea!” Giselle exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “What if I try to seduce you on camera? You know, as a funny prank?”

He chuckled nervously. “Uh, Aeri, I don’t think that’s a good idea…”

“Relax! It’ll be hilarious!” she insisted, already turning on the camera. “Just play along.”

“Okay, but if I get embarrassed, it’s on you,” he said, rolling his eyes.

“Just trust me!” She approached him, leaning in closer with an exaggerated pout. “Hey there, Y/n,” she began, her voice dripping with faux seduction. “What’s a manager like you doing in a room like this? Shouldn’t you be busy managing Aespa’s hearts?”

Y/n tried to stifle his laughter, but it came out as a snort. “Seriously? And you tell me I'm bad at pick up lines?”

“Just go with it!” she laughed, pushing on. “You know, I’ve been watching you dance, and I have to say, you’re the best dancer I know. How about you take me out sometime? Just the two of us?”

Giselle swirling her hair with her hand certainly didn't help with Y/n's composure.

“Wow, Aeri, I—”

“Don’t get me wrong,” she interrupted, feigning a dramatic gasp. “I’m totally not trying to steal you from Minjeong, but, like, can we just appreciate how good you look while dancing?”

Y/n burst into laughter, waving his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay! I get it, you win! But please don’t tell her I said any of this!”

Just as Y/n thought the prank was over, Giselle's mischievous grin told him otherwise. “Wait, maybe I should!” she declared, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“….oh no” he groaned, his stomach sinking slightly.

“Let’s record a mini-TikTok right here in front of the other girls! Just imagine the chaos!”

“Aeri, no-"

“Too late!” she interrupted, already dragging him toward the living room where the other members were lounging. Karina was scrolling through her phone, Winter was snuggled up with a blanket, and Ningning was playing a game on her tablet.

“Hey, everyone!” Giselle called out, her voice bright and bubbly. “We’re doing a little TikTok challenge! I need you all to witness this moment of pure seduction.”

“Uh-oh, what are you planning now?” Karina asked, raising an eyebrow with a smirk.

“Just sit back and enjoy the show!” Giselle said, positioning Y/n in front of the camera with an exaggerated flourish. “Ready, Y/n? Time to seduce me!”

"…like that Kabedon incident?" Y/n glanced at the others, his cheeks flushed. “This isn’t going to end well…”

“Don’t worry! I’ve got your back!” Giselle said, leaning in closer to him, lowering her voice to a sultry tone. “Y/n, you know I’ve always had a thing for managers like you…”

“Oh boy,” Winter muttered, trying to suppress a giggle. "In front of my salad?"

Karina pulled out her phone, already recording. “This is going to be gold! Keep going, you two!”

Giselle winked at the camera, flicking her hair back dramatically. “So, Y/n, do you want to take me out on a date? I know all the best places!”

“Uhh…” Y/n fumbled for words, glancing helplessly at Winter, who looked amused and slightly exasperated.

“Do you even know how to flirt?” Giselle teased, leaning even closer, pretending to bat her eyelashes. “Come on, show me what you’ve got!”

Ningning, now paying attention, burst out laughing. “Why does oppa even got more flustered now?!”

“Right?” Karina chimed in, pointing her phone at Y/n. “C’mon, give us your best pickup line!”

Y/n cleared his throat, desperate to salvage his dignity. “Um, how about… ‘Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears?’”

Winter laughed, but Giselle immediately replied with an over-the-top, “Wow, so smooth!” She placed a hand on her heart as if she were swooning. “Is it hot in here, or is it just Y/n’s incredible charm? Maybe is that bod of yours?”

“Okay, okay, that’s enough!” he laughed, trying to step back, but Giselle grabbed his arm to pull him back in.

“Don’t run away! We’re just getting started!” Giselle grinned, her playful demeanour infectious. “Alright, let’s switch it up. I’ll pretend to be shy and you can be the confident one.”

She turned away, pretending to shyly brush her hair behind her ear. “Oh, hey, Y/n. I didn’t see you there… You look really good today…”

“Uh, thanks?” Y/n stammered, glancing nervously at Winter, who was watching the scene unfold with an amused smile.

“Oh, come on, Y/n! You’ve got to act like you’re actually into it!” Karina chimed in, trying to keep a straight face.

“Yeah, show us that ‘confident manager’ side!” Winter added, smirking. "You did that to me!"

"Ya, Jeong, that's because it was you-"

"Whatever, this is fun!" Winter chanted. "Action!"

Y/n took a deep breath, trying to channel whatever charisma he had left. “Well, Aeri, you know I’ve always had a thing for strong women like you. How about we grab dinner together?”

Giselle spun around, pretending to fan herself. “Dinner? With me? Oh my gosh, this is so exciting!”

“You’re really getting into character,” Y/n said, shaking his head with a chuckle.

“Why wouldn’t I?” she replied with a playful grin. “But wait—what if I get butterflies when I see you, huh?”

“Then I guess I’ll have to be your calming presence,” he shot back, laughing.

“Y/n, you’re killing it!” Karina cheered, already thinking about the TikTok edits in her head. “This is going to be the best video yet!”

Giselle leaned in closer again, her voice a mock whisper. “I hope you can handle all this charm, because I’m not just a pretty face, you know.”

The other members burst into laughter, and even Y/n couldn’t help but join in, shaking his head. “Okay, I’m officially mortified.”

“Mortified, but slightly enjoying this?” Giselle smirked, giving him a playful nudge. “This is character development!”

“Character development? More like a character assassination!” he replied, playfully rolling his eyes.

"Speaking of character development." Karina turned her head towards Winter. "Our Mindoogie here looks fine over here."

"Hm?" Winter swallowed her food, still having that innocence on her. "Ahhh…nah, I'm ok with that."

"Huh?" Ningning gasped. "Unnie? You're fine?"

"Of course!" She leaned forward casually, looking at Giselle and the others with an innocent smile. “But you know, Aeri-unnie, you might want to tone it down a little. Y/n’s already got a pretty serious relationship, and besides… we’ve already, uh, done the deed.”

For a moment, there was absolute silence.

And then—absolute chaos.

“WHAT?!” Ningning practically screamed, her hands flying to her mouth in shock. Karina dropped her phone, her jaw on the floor, while Giselle’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“KIM MINJEONG!” Y/n spluttered, his face turning an impressive shade of red as he looked around at the girls, who were either screaming, laughing, or staring at him in horror.

“No way!” Karina shrieked, leaning forward, eyes wide. “You and Y/n—seriously?!”

“Don’t tell me it’s true!” Giselle gasped, covering her mouth but looking gleeful as she stared at Y/n, whose face was buried in his hands.

Winter shrugged with a mischievous smile, giving Y/n a sidelong glance. “What? You guys were teasing him enough, so I thought I’d, you know, raise the stakes.”

“Oh, stakes raised, alright,” Ningning said, shaking her head with a laugh. “Y/n-oppa, you’ve been holding out on us! This is, like, prime tea!”

“Alright, alright!” Y/n finally exclaimed, trying to regain some sense of composure. “It’s not—”

He glanced at Winter, who was still grinning. “Okay, yes, we’re together, but that part is just… Jeong's idea of a joke, right?”

Winter winked at him, laughing as she leaned back. “Guess we’ll leave that up to the imagination.”

The girls burst out laughing again, unable to let go of the idea, each one tossing in comments and making poor Y/n turn even redder.

“Y/n, you’re never going to live this down,” Karina said, wiping away a tear from laughing so hard.

“Guess that won't be on TikTok then” Giselle added, smirking.

Winter leaned in close, her voice a whisper only he could hear, “Don’t worry. I’d never actually spill everything about us—just enough to keep them on their toes.”

He shot her a glare, though he couldn’t hold back a smile. “Thanks for almost ruining my life.”

She just shrugged, chuckling. “What are girlfriends for?”

“Well….,” Giselle cleared her throat, glancing back at her. “Since you’re the official girlfriend and all, would you be open to, you know… loaning Y/n out every once in a while?” She winked dramatically at Y/n, who looked like he might just disappear into the floor.

Winter crossed her arms, tilting her head with mock consideration. “Hmm… I don’t know. Y/n’s a pretty hot commodity these days. What exactly do you need him for?”

“Oh, you know, moral support, lifting heavy things, taking gorgeous TikToks,” Giselle replied, grinning. “And maybe the occasional pretend-boyfriend duties?”

“Pretend-boyfriend duties?” Y/n exclaimed, shaking his head with a laugh. “I think that’s asking a lot.”

“Well, you’ve already gone viral twice with your dancing, and you’re super supportive of us all. So basically, we’re just sharing the Y/n experience.” Giselle batted her eyelashes dramatically. “Don’t worry, I promise I’ll have him back by 10 p.m.”

Winter chuckled, giving Y/n a playful nudge. “It’s a tempting offer, hon. She might even pay you in dance moves and insider Gen Z knowledge.”

Y/n put his hands up, laughing. “Alright, alright. I’m already Winter’s dance practice buddy, TikTok lab rat, and apparently, life advice hotline. How many jobs can one person have?”

“Oh, but think about it!” Giselle laughed. “The real prize is in the title: Borrowed Boyfriend Y/n. Imagine the potential!”

The group erupted into laughter again, with Y/n just shaking his head, his face a mix of exasperation and amusement.

Winter shot him a cheeky grin. “Guess you’re in high demand, huh?”

Y/n sighed, smiling at all of them. “You all make my life feel like the ultimate side quest at this point."

"Thanks, Y/n!" Giselle cheered.

Hello Kaya :)

I hope you had a great day ! <3

Can you write some fluff about our cutie pie Kenan, where he has a crush on reader and acts shy around her but is very insecure about it, because she’s 3 years older than him.

SHY - KENAN YILDIZ

Kenan is shy around the SoMe manager

Kenan Yildiz x older! reader

︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿

Being the social media manager for Juventus had its perks, but none quite like the days when I got to work directly with the players.

Today was one of those days. We were filming a TikTok for the team’s page, and I had convinced Kenan, one of the youngest and most talented players, to be my partner for the video.

“Alright, Kenan,” I began, setting up my phone on the tripod. “Today, you’re going to teach me some football skills for TikTok. Think you can handle that?”

Kenan smiled, his cheeks tinged pink as he nodded. “Yeah, sure. I’ll go easy on you,” he said, his voice soft and a little hesitant.

I grinned, noticing how he avoided making eye contact for more than a second or two. It was adorable how shy he was around me, especially since I knew how confident he could be on the pitch.

“Don’t go too easy on me,” I teased, stepping onto the grass next to him. “I want to impress our followers.”

He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’ll do my best,” he replied, his eyes flicking to mine before quickly looking away.

As the video started rolling, Kenan began explaining the basics of a simple dribbling drill. “Okay, so just try to keep the ball close to your feet as you move. Like this,” he demonstrated effortlessly, the ball seeming to dance at his feet.

I tried to mimic his movements, but my coordination wasn’t exactly on par with his.

The ball rolled away from me, and I laughed, chasing after it. “Well, that didn’t go as planned,” I said, glancing at Kenan, who was watching me with a shy smile.

“You’re doing fine,” he encouraged, his voice warm. “Just keep practicing.”

I continued trying, and Kenan stepped closer, offering pointers and gently guiding me with his words.

At one point, he reached out to adjust my stance, his hand brushing against mine. The brief contact sent a little thrill through me, and I couldn’t help but glance up at him.

He quickly pulled his hand back, his face flushing as he mumbled, “Sorry.”

I shook my head, smiling. “No need to apologize. I appreciate the help,” I said, enjoying the way his shyness made him even more endearing.

As the video continued, I couldn’t resist teasing him a little. “You know, Kenan, you’re really good at this. I bet you’ve got girls lining up to teach them, too,” I joked, expecting him to laugh it off.

Instead, Kenan’s face turned a deeper shade of red. He stammered, “I-I’m not… I don’t really…”

His flustered reaction made me grin even more. “Relax, I’m just kidding,” I said, giving him a playful nudge.

He smiled shyly, glancing at me from under his lashes. “You’re the first person I’ve taught like this,” he admitted softly.

My heart skipped a beat at his confession. There was something about the way he looked at me, like I was the only person in the world, that made my cheeks warm. I hadn’t realized how much I liked being around him until this moment.

“Lucky me, then,” I said, my tone light, but my heart racing.

We finished up the TikTok, and as I stopped the recording, I turned to Kenan, smiling. “You did great! Thanks for being my teacher today.”

Kenan smiled, the shyness still there, but his eyes held a warmth that made my chest tighten. “Anytime,” he said quietly, his gaze lingering on mine for a moment longer.

As I packed up the equipment, I couldn’t help but steal a few glances at him. There was something about Kenan that drew me in, something that made me want to spend more time with him, to get to know him better.

And if the way he kept looking at me was any indication, I wasn’t the only one feeling that way.

As we walked off the field together, I found myself hoping that this wouldn’t be the last filming session with him.

Because if there was one thing I was starting to realize, it was that being around Kenan made me smile a little more, laugh a little harder, and feel a lot more than I had in a long time.

change host club show

part 3/3

part 1

part 2

sailub as the dj

sailub got his start as a club dj with benz’s mother and even though his popularity exploded, he has stayed loyal. while he he has a contract with a record label and does the occasional tour and festival gig, in bangkok he performs exclusively at her clubs. in order to create hype for the relaunch, benz decides to bring sailub in. sadly sailub does not think benz the estranged son deserves any kind of family discount so after their appearance fee negotiations, benz has to go cry in the bathroom for a bit. while sailub used to be a big party boy back in the day, he took it a bit too far and is now totally sober but as anyone who has been to nightclubs totally sober knows, it can be a pain in the ass which makes him slightly grumpy.

pon as the new kid

pon is already a bit of an influencer. while stuck at home during the pandemic he started doing product review videos on tiktok and sort of blew up but he's not in lockdown anymore and he feels like he's going nowhere. he misses people. he wants the attention in person. so when he sees the flyer for an open audition at the host club, he figures he could try it out. it seems like easy enough of a gig and his most watched videos are kpop dance covers so he shows up, shakes some ass and flirts a bit. then he almost screws it all up by throwing a tantrum when a sceptical benz asks for his birth certificate because no way he is 29. luckily a bit of diva just makes benz go “oh, you'll fit right in” and “how do you feel about fire?” because, as mentioned, benz has a vision and it might involve flaming whips.  

lee as the jack of all trades

lee showed up to install the security cameras and sort of… never left. he does anything and everything from watching the cameras to barbacking to entertaining guests. he is absolutely the biggest gossip in the place and plays both sides by snitching to benz and then relaying everything benz says to babe. you simply can't tell him anything unless you want everyone to know it but, like, not in a malicious way. he's just a chronic yapper. they love him for it. currently interning under pop who has a vision of his own that revolves around putting lee in a dress.

bonus:

nut: i think garfield is trying to find a sugar daddy

benz: sounds fake. that would take an actual effort.

nut: he asked two of my friends about how much money they make and if they're allergic to cats.

benz: …

garfield: well, i don't want to work forever

nut: girl, you barely work, period

garfield: if i have to leave my bed and put some pants on, it counts as work

the story of how lee became a star goes a little like this: pon is warming up to go do his dance performance but twists his ankle five minutes before call time and it's a disaster. the house is packed, topten is home with the flu and someone needs to step up. lee basically jumps up and down going “me, me, me!” and, literally out of options, benz says “you know what? fuck it. go for it.” no one knows quite what to expect but after a mad scramble to steal booty shorts from pon and butcher one of garfield’s fur coats, lee gags everyone with a drag race finale worthy lipsync performance of lisa’s money. the second he exits the stage pop is on him, asking him if he can do the same in heels.

mistress poppy’s shot special: she will put a sugarcane straw in your mouth and tell you to hold it between your teeth. then she will bend you over and spank your ass. if the straw remains uncracked, you get your free shot. initially benz was horrified by this because free booze? in this economy? not very capitalism, not mindful at all. but then pop demonstrated his ass slapping skills on benz and he quickly changed his mind. (he also didn’t sit down for three days but that's neither here nor there.)

for charlie’s 21st birthday, babe climbed on the bartop and went full coyote ugly, doing unspeakable things with a soda gun. it was the first and last time he performed like that. michael almost killed him for defiling his bar.

benz would actually pay onlyoneof to come do libido instead of stealing the choreo. no shade.

Oooh! That Munakata with a toktok ask sounds fun! What do you think Munakata would say about those tiktok challenges? Would he participate on some? Would he try to start his own? (I don't have a tiktok so I'm not sure what challenges are in right now but I bet he'd hate the harmful ones I see on the news. Maybe he'd make some kinda PSA about them, too).

Oh I bet Munakata would love challenges, he always enjoys a challenge :D Somehow I imagine him stumbling upon all kinds of weird and random challenges and trying them out because he's been told such things are good for Content and Algorithms. He probably ends up getting a lot of views but only because he's so supernaturally good at the ones he tries, like imagine Munakata doing the spicy food challenge and just eating the hottest foods with a perfectly serene expression. Later he tries the milk crate challenge, the alphabet squad dutifully stacking crates for him into a pyramid, and then he just easily walks up and down them without falling or anything crashing to the ground at all (some of his viewers notice that there was a Blue glow around the crates but chalk it up to special effects, Doumyouji complains to Munakata later that the point of the challenge is to fail and Munakata is very confused). He probably gets very excited and tries to pull the squad in sometimes, like discussing with Fushimi that wouldn't it be good for their social media outreach if all the squad participated in a flash mob with him and Fushimi just gives him this flat 'no.'

Of course eventually Munakata finds out about all the dangerous challenges and he's very dismayed, like he didn't realize this fun app with all the silly videos could also be dangerous. As a government official and one who dispenses justice Munakata cannot just sit idly by and allow children to harm themselves simply for the sake of virality. Actually I could see him inadvertently getting popular by becoming something a debunking channel, like he starts making videos explaining why certain hacks are unhealthy and in some cases he'll do experiments (with lovely assistants Fushimi and Awashima) to show how such challenges can go wrong and here's how to do them safely. While he gets a lot of attention for these some people aren't happy with him harshing their buzz by speaking out against dangerous challenges, like what's this old man doing telling us what we can and can't do.

This gives Munakata an idea, if a challenge is dangerous he will simply have to create his own challenge which goes even more viral and supplants the dangerous one. Imagine he ends up creating 'the puzzle challenge,' where a person buys a puzzle with a huge amount of pieces and has to put it together without looking at the picture. Munakata demonstrates by doing this huge difficult one all by himself, sped up to fit the video length restrictions but clearly all done in one take. He wonders if anyone could manage to do such a thing themselves and urges his viewers to all please try and beat his record of 10,000 pieces in ten minutes (he chose an easy puzzle and went slowly so as not to dishearten anyone). When the squad find out they all think there's no way this will go viral, no one's interested in puzzles, but then to their shock it does take off and soon there are thousands of videos of people putting together puzzles and Munakata is just so touched and happy, finally everyone else loves puzzles as much as he does.

Rewardwale’s Social Media Style Approach to Sharing Experiences

In our modern world, online reviews play a crucial role in building consumer trust and guiding decisions. When you're looking to book a hotel, buy a new gadget, or pick a restaurant, the first step is usually to check out reviews and see what others think. The old way of doing text-based reviews has been helpful, but honestly, those long paragraphs just aren’t doing the trick anymore. As our attention spans get shorter, it's evident that the future of reviews needs to be more engaging, interactive, and definitely a lot more fun! Introducing Rewardwale, an exciting platform that brings a social media spirit to sharing your experiences! Imagine a fun blend of Instagram and Wikipedia but with exciting rewards!

Let’s explore how Rewardwale is changing the way we share and benefit from reviews with its creative, eye-catching, and rewarding platform.

Why Video Content Shines in the Review Landscape

Text-based reviews have been helpful for a long time, but video content brings a lively and engaging twist that takes the review experience to exciting new heights. Video reviews bring visuals and genuine feelings to life, showcasing real-time emotions, body language, and tone that just can't be conveyed through writing. They provide a lively and clear display of products or services, showing them in action. Video reviews are a fantastic way to show how a gadget works or to share a personal experience at a restaurant. They offer a level of clarity that's truly special.

Telling Stories Through Short-Form Videos

As platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels gain popularity, it's evident that short-form video content is the way forward. Rewardwale takes advantage of this trend by letting users share quick, fun video reviews instead of just sticking to written feedback. These videos showcase real feelings, whether it’s the joy of discovering a new product or the disappointment with a service that fell short.

Rewardwale brings you a more engaging and enjoyable review experience through the power of visual storytelling. Videos give users the chance to demonstrate rather than explain. Picture this: you can actually watch a cool gadget in action or see how beautifully a restaurant presents its dishes instead of just reading about them. This helps create a genuine and reliable review, connecting what is said with what is real.

Exciting Rewards

What sets Rewardwale apart is that users not only share their experiences but also earn rewards for doing so! Every video review shared on the platform gives you a chance to earn cashback, access exclusive deals, or collect points that can be exchanged for even more perks—the more exciting and valuable the review, the bigger the benefits.

This fun, social media-inspired method captures the joy users experience when they get likes or comments on their posts. With Rewardwale, you can enjoy that instant gratification naturally by earning actual cash rewards! When you share your thoughts on the newest gadget or your go-to restaurant, you can be confident that your genuine feedback will bring rewards—both for you and others.

3. Fun Features

Rewardwale’s fun features make sharing reviews a lively experience. Comment sections under video reviews give viewers a chance to ask questions, share their thoughts, and start conversations. This transforms a simple review into a lively discussion, similar to how you engage with posts on social media.

Both consumers and businesses have the opportunity to connect directly with reviewers, creating a welcoming community atmosphere. This interaction in real-time fosters trust between brands and customers, creating a welcoming space for both to learn from one another.

4. Social Proof Meets Data Insights

One of the best features of Rewardwale’s platform is how it combines social proof with valuable insights for businesses. Businesses can learn a lot about what their customers think, what they like, and any issues they might have by looking at video reviews.

Video content's authenticity helps companies quickly identify genuine issues or strengths in their products. Additionally, these insights assist businesses in enhancing their products and services by using actual customer feedback. This results in improved products and services while also building greater trust among consumers in the brand.

5. Creating a Supportive Community

Rewardwale’s social media strategy is all about more than just single reviews. This platform is all about creating a friendly space where consumers and brands can connect openly and honestly. We're all about being genuine—real people sharing their actual experiences. While rewards are a nice bonus, the main goal is to help others make wise choices.

Rewardwale creates a welcoming environment where users can share their thoughts and connect, building a sense of trust that’s often missing in traditional review platforms.

Wrapping Up: Be Part of the Review Revolution

If you’ve ever thought your voice got lost among all the online reviews, Rewardwale is here to make a difference. This platform is all about sharing your experiences and celebrating them together! If you love shopping, run a business, or enjoy finding new products, Rewardwale brings you an exciting and enjoyable way to explore the digital marketplace while earning rewards.

Ok so going out to a bigger context and a massive bugbear of mine: this is tumblr, so you’ve probably seen a lot of posts from ✨humanities✨ people that go like this.

Dumb uneducated masses: hurr durr historians lied to us! I never learned about this in school! Historians say dumb things like “we don’t know if gay people ever existed” but I saw a TikTok about gay people in history. A conspiracy I think from the Man

Buff victimised wojack historians: we are not hiding things from you! We are doing important work on these topics in our theses! A tiny amount of intensive educated research would bring you the knowledge you crave! I’m a gay history PhD with gay history book ACTUALLY. You are all illiterate, and blaming us only shows your lack of education.

Another historian: god it’s so frustrating how stupid the public is when our academic publications are RIGHT THERE.

Another historian: smh it’s the way they’d prefer to get misinformation on tumblr and TikTok.

Historians in particular do this a lot. I could link you to a few distinct posts that do exactly this with 40k+ notes. and lots of sanctimonious people complaining about how the public have NO information literacy, and ALL of these complaints are PERFECTLY addressed in Ratbin and Huguenot (2001) “Gender and Ungender in Mesopotamia” which these morons would KNOW if they only (paywall)(paywall)(paywall). You have seen multiple popular posts on tumblr where extremely intelligent, kind, smart, educated people are not realising that in their complaints about their discipline’s massive communications issue, they are repeatedly demonstrating why they have a comms issue. You have possibly even reblogged it, without realising the massive flaw at the heart of the rhetoric. We usually trust historians to have good rhetoric! If they don’t, who does?

But surely this is common across academic disciplines? Well, we note that sciences have an entire professional field called “science communication.” When someone asks a science question on social media, scientists usually sprint to be the first to give the clearest answer.Scientists consider it a personal failing if the public don’t understand a key update in modern science, and will often go out of their way on social media to spread correct content in accessible ways. Science grants and funding bodies and journals require that scientists have plans to communicate, and make accessible and publicly serviceable, pretty much every piece of funded research and increasing amounts of published research. Scientists go into schools and talk to little kids and have festivals -for free- they don’t get paid for this and yet you can call up any ambassador association and ask for a lecture and get one. Science communicators pound the pavement, working as park rangers and forest school leaders, comedians and podcasters; an ENTIRE LINE OF WORK involves getting paid by researchers to translate, communicate and promote their science. There are companies and people for whom this is their paid, actual factual salaried career.

And I cannot stress enough how easy it is to get any given science PhD student to come and do any form of science communication for free. They will do it for free , and they will thank you for the opportunity.

The attitude in the sciences is “if the public don’t understand, then we’ve failed to communicate, and need to do better.” There is an entire professional field dedicated to doing this; as OP says, science museums do not scorn to stoop to the level of children.

Now I return to the image of the science PhD student, who is quivering with anticipation at being asked to talk about sea turtle conservation to small children, who will objectively never give them funding, in the true belief that it is good for society and sea turtles to do such things. We can intuit, from pop culture, the scientist personality: the belief that you can save the world. if you just get the work done and the words right and people believe you, you can save the world. We instantly see the fears and hopes of scientists from this; we can study the psychology and history of the Mad Scientist trope, exploring what happens when the motivations of this personality become no longer socially acceptable. We can see this belief that science, like a key, could open the lock that saves the world; this explains the franticness of the personality that gladly spends its free time forging different keys. The hope here is the beautiful perfect Argument, a shining radiant Key, that one presents to The Public, and suddenly they cry out and fall down and say “Of COURSE! we care about ocean acidification so much now! We will immediately overthrow everyone who doesn’t care, and fix it at once.” To this personality, knowledge sharing is survival. The more people who are educated enough to appreciate and admire and pay the scientist, the better the scientist has of realising their hopes (saving the world) and avoiding their fear (getting it wrong and failing forever.)

Now we turn to the graduate student in fine arts, and contrary to what we would think of progressive bohemian artists, we often see a different set of fears and hopes that are conservative. Conservative, fundamentally and etymologically, means to hold; to grasp; to keep; to spend small amounts very cautiously. perhaps they are seeking to curate and preserve previous works, like OP’s curators: or perhaps hoping to create valuable works of their own, to sell for a living to a special population of discerning rich people. Either way, if Just Anyone could create a work that appeals to rich collectors; if Just Anyone could declare what is art; if Just Any Object could be found to have value; if Just Anyone could look at curated objects and understand them with context and appreciation: it rather undermines the idea that collecting this education is inherently valuable. And thus we see the response: the public should educate themselves. An arts education is good to have, and probably makes more customers, but people should go and get one, rather than being given it for free; we know that most people won’t, but that’s okay, because it’s important that the Knowledge itself is curated. The best people to understand and interpret these works have won the right to do so through proper curation of the Knowledge. In a sense knowledge should be hoarded or handed out sparingly because that is how it simultaneously retains value, and ensures the good quality of the most knowledgeable people.

Similarly, history does not attract the “save the world” nerds in the same way that science does. And that’s honestly fine. It’s a burnout personality - kind of a psychological complex - too dependent on externals. The Locked Tomb does not feature the apocalypse of a mad historian.

But you can’t desire the fruits of the hard work that the science community reaps (public appreciation, attention, funding, pop culture) without doing some reflection about why you want all fruit and no work. And no, it isn’t that Nobody Cares (And Should Get An Education So That They Care More, Which They Won’t, Because Nobody Cares About Humanities Anymore, Because The Sciences Are Luring Them Away with their Wiles.) nobody cared about pretty much any part of science until someone found the key to the comms. Plastic straws in sea turtle noses, save the bees, plant more trees, feathered dinosaurs, genes that cure cancer - all images, all stories that made people care. If the sciences are better storytellers, then don’t sulk; tell a better story! Maybe more people would care about the humanities if you secured their passions as children! Maybe the fact that nobody is reading your book is giving clues about accessibility. Maybe the public don’t really read that many paywalled papers, and you should be doing podcasts and press releases and tumblr essays about them. Maybe the fact that people prefer TikTok means that YOU SHOULD MAKE A BETTER TIKTOK.

Science communication says: you don’t understand the results of my science education? No problem! Let me show you! Don’t worry - even a kid can learn it. We’ll make it fun! Where did we lose you?

While the humanities are spending far too much time saying: you don’t understand the results of my arts education? Well you should get an arts degree, and then you would. If you weren’t so stupid and easily misled by TikTok, you would have simply gone to a university library and placed a hold on my book - what do you mean you’re twelve.

If you read all this and it makes you feel defensive: good! The storytelling arts shouldn’t rest on their laurels. It should be a challenge, a provocation, the red gleam of the other racehorse’s eye as it pulls away from you. You should be champing at the bit to prove me wrong - to tell a better story at ONCE - to change the world.

I would be very interested in hearing the museum design rant

by popular demand: Guy That Took One (1) Museum Studies Class Focused On Science Museums Rants About Art Museums. thank u for coming please have a seat

so. background. the concept of the "science museum" grew out of 1) the wunderkammer (cabinet of curiosities), also known as "hey check out all this weird cool shit i have", and 2) academic collections of natural history specimens (usually taxidermied) -- pre-photography these were super important for biological research (see also). early science museums usually grew out of university collections or bequests of some guy's Weird Shit Collection or both, and were focused on utility to researchers rather than educational value to the layperson (picture a room just, full of taxidermy birds with little labels on them and not a lot of curation outside that). eventually i guess they figured they could make more on admission by aiming for a mass audience? or maybe it was the cultural influence of all the world's fairs and shit (many of which also caused science museums to exist), which were aimed at a mass audience. or maybe it was because the research function became much more divorced from the museum function over time. i dunno. ANYWAY, science and technology museums nowadays have basically zero research function; the exhibits are designed more or less solely for educating the layperson (and very frequently the layperson is assumed to be a child, which does honestly irritate me, as an adult who likes to go to science museums). the collections are still there in case someone does need some DNA from one of the preserved bird skins, but items from the collections that are exhibited typically exist in service of the exhibit's conceptual message, rather than the other way around.

meanwhile at art museums they kind of haven't moved on from the "here is my pile of weird shit" paradigm, except it's "here is my pile of Fine Art". as far as i can tell, the thing that curators (and donors!) care about above all is The Collection. what artists are represented in The Collection? rich fucks derive personal prestige from donating their shit to The Collection. in big art museums usually something like 3-5% of the collection is ever on exhibit -- and sometimes they rotate stuff from the vault in and out, but let's be real, only a fraction of an art museum's square footage is temporary exhibits. they're not going to take the scream off display when it's like the only reason anyone who's not a giant nerd ever visits the norwegian national museum of art. most of the stuff in the vault just sits in the vault forever. like -- art museum curators, my dudes, do you think the general public gives a SINGLE FUCK what's in The Collection that isn't on display? no!! but i guarantee you it will never occur, ever, to an art museum curator that they could print-to-scale high-res images of artworks that are NOT in The Collection in order to contextualize the art in an exhibit, because items that are not in The Collection functionally do not exist to them. (and of course there's the deaccessioning discourse -- tumblr collectively has some level of awareness that repatriation is A Whole Kettle of Worms but even just garden-variety selling off parts of The Collection is a huge hairy fucking deal. check out deaccessioning and its discontents; it's a banger read if you're into This Kind Of Thing.)

with the contents of The Collection foregrounded like this, what you wind up with is art museum exhibits where the exhibit's message is kind of downstream of what shit you've got in the collection. often the message is just "here is some art from [century] [location]", or, if someone felt like doing a little exhibit design one fine morning, "here is some art from [century] [location] which is interesting for [reason]". the displays are SOOOOO bad by science museum standards -- if you're lucky you get a little explanatory placard in tiny font relating the art to an art movement or to its historical context or to the artist's career. if you're unlucky you get artist name, date, and medium. fucker most of the people who visit your museum know Jack Shit about art history why are you doing them dirty like this

(if you don't get it you're just not Cultured enough. fuck you, we're the art museum!)

i think i've talked about this before on this blog but the best-exhibited art exhibit i've ever been to was actually at the boston museum of science, in this traveling leonardo da vinci exhibit where they'd done a bunch of historical reconstructions of inventions out of his notebooks, and that was the main Thing, but also they had a whole little exhibit devoted to the mona lisa. obviously they didn't even have the real fucking mona lisa, but they went into a lot of detail on like -- here's some X-ray and UV photos of it, and here's how art experts interpret them. here's a (photo of a) contemporary study of the finished painting, which we've cleaned the yellowed varnish off of, so you can see what the colors looked like before the varnish yellowed. here's why we can't clean the varnish off the actual painting (da vinci used multiple varnish layers and thinned paints to translucency with varnish to create the illusion of depth, which means we now can't remove the yellowed varnish without stripping paint).

even if you don't go into that level of depth about every painting (and how could you? there absolutely wouldn't be space), you could at least talk a little about, like, pigment availability -- pigment availability is an INCREDIBLY useful lens for looking at historical paintings and, unbelievably, never once have i seen an art museum exhibit discuss it (and i've been to a lot of art museums). you know how medieval european religious paintings often have funky skin tones? THEY HADN'T INVENTED CADMIUM PIGMENTS YET. for red pigments you had like... red ochre (a muted earth-based pigment, like all ochres and umbers), vermilion (ESPENSIVE), alizarin crimson (aka madder -- this is one of my favorite reds, but it's cool-toned and NOT good for mixing most skintones), carmine/cochineal (ALSO ESPENSIVE, and purple-ish so you wouldn't want to use it for skintones anyway), red lead/minium (cheaper than vermilion), indian red/various other iron oxide reds, and apparently fucking realgar? sure. whatever. what the hell was i talking about.

oh yeah -- anyway, i'd kill for an art exhibit that's just, like, one or two oil paintings from each century for six centuries, with sample palettes of the pigments they used. but no! if an art museum curator has to put in any level of effort beyond writing up a little placard and maybe a room-level text block, they'll literally keel over and die. dude, every piece of art was made in a material context for a social purpose! it's completely deranged to divorce it from its material context and only mention the social purpose insofar as it matters to art history the field. for god's sake half the time the placard doesn't even tell you if the thing was a commission or not. there's a lot to be said about edo period woodblock prints and mass culture driven by the growing merchant class! the met has a fuckton of edo period prints; they could get a hell of an exhibit out of that!

or, tying back to an earlier thread -- the detroit institute of arts has got a solid like eight picasso paintings. when i went, they were kind of just... hanging out in a room. fuck it, let's make this an exhibit! picasso's an artist who pretty famously had Periods, right? why don't you group the paintings by period, and if you've only got one or two (or even zero!) from a particular period, pad it out with some decent life-size prints so i can compare them and get a better sense for the overarching similarities? and then arrange them all in a timeline, with little summaries of what each Period was ~about~? that'd teach me a hell of a lot more about picasso -- but you'd have to admit you don't have Every Cool Painting Ever in The Collection, which is illegalé.

also thinking about the mit museum temporary exhibit i saw briefly (sorry, i was only there for like 10 minutes because i arrived early for a meeting and didn't get a chance to go through it super thoroughly) of a bunch of ship technical drawings from the Hart nautical collection. if you handed this shit to an art museum curator they'd just stick it on the wall and tell you to stand around and look at it until you Understood. so anyway the mit museum had this enormous room-sized diorama of various hull shapes and how they sat in the water and their benefits and drawbacks, placed below the relevant technical drawings.

tbh i think the main problem is that art museum people and science museum people are completely different sets of people, trained in completely different curatorial traditions. it would not occur to an art museum curator to do anything like this because they're probably from the ~art world~ -- maybe they have experience working at an art gallery, or working as an art buyer for a rich collector, neither of which is in any way pedagogical. nobody thinks an exhibit of historical clothing should work like a clothing store but it's fine when it's art, i guess?

also the experience of going to an art museum is pretty user-hostile, i have to say. there's never enough benches, and if you want a backrest, fuck you. fuck you if going up stairs is painful; use our shitty elevator in the corner that we begrudgingly have for wheelchair accessibility, if you can find it. fuck you if you can't see very well, and need to be closer to the art. fuck you if you need to hydrate or eat food regularly; go to our stupid little overpriced cafeteria, and fuck you if we don't actually sell any food you can eat. (obviously you don't want someone accidentally spilling a smoothie on the art, but there's no reason you couldn't provide little Safe For Eating Rooms where people could just duck in and monch a protein bar, except that then you couldn't sell them a $30 salad at the cafe.) fuck you if you're overwhelmed by noise in echoing rooms with hard surfaces and a lot of people in them. fuck you if you are TOO SHORT and so our overhead illumination generates BRIGHT REFLECTIONS ON THE SHINY VARNISH. we're the art museum! we don't give a shit!!!

5 Trends in ICT

As we live in this ever-changing modern world, many people find it challenging to keep up with new technological trends making it difficult for them to stay informed, relevant and up-to-date with technological advancements. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is constantly evolving, impacting how we live and communicate. It introduces new trends that are crucial to learn in order to adapt to technological advancements.

Here are five key trends in ICT:

1. CONVERGENCE

Technological convergence is the merging of various technologies to work towards a common goal. This trend demonstrates the increasing collaboration between once-separate technological fields, resulting in innovative solutions and new products.

Example:

Back then, people used to listen to music on radios, watch movies on DVDs, and use telephones to make calls. But now, with technological convergence, most people use phones for all these activities.

2. SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media includes websites, apps, and online platforms where users can create, collaborate, discuss, modify, and share content. It's a key part of how we communicate today, connecting people worldwide and building communities around common interests.

Examples:

Facebook, TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

3. MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES

Mobile technology has completely changed how we access information and communicate. Smartphones and tablets are now everywhere, providing features that used to need a computer. With mobile technology constantly improving, it's easier than ever to stay connected and get things done on the go.

Examples:

Smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

4. ASSISTIVE MEDIA

Assistive media refers to technology to help people with disabilities, like visual or reading impairments, access information and communicate. It's essential for ensuring everyone can be part of the digital world, breaking down barriers and promoting inclusivity.

Examples:

Screen readers, audio books, voice assistants, and closed captioning.

5. CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud computing has changed how we store, process, and access data. It uses the internet to offer flexible, scalable, and cost-effective computing services. With more businesses adopting it, it's becoming the standard for efficient and accessible data management.

Life & Technology

My journey as a nursing student at Centro Escolar University in the digital age has been fascinating. The world of education is changing every day; online platforms such as Canvas have changed my approach to learning, collaboration and growing up with other medical professionals. Please follow me through this life-techno intersection that demonstrates how daily routines are improved by digital innovation and allows for success in virtual classrooms.

My day begins by the sun peeping into my window after which I scroll through my social media feeds quickly. Even before I have had my first cup of coffee, I tend to keep up with latest updates from friends and family members who are scattered throughout the country. Every morning especially at Locket, a specific app that I looked through.

After checking my social media, now it is time to live as a 3rd Year Nursing Student. I have two different routine when it comes to school, its either online class or face-to-face classes.

But in today's blog, I'll show my routine when it comes to online class day.

When its 7 am its time to check my dashboard for deadlines and backlogs.

This is canvas, we use this at Centro Escolar University. Canvas functions as my online classroom where I learn interactively with no limits of time or space. It will be possible to attend Google Meet real-time lectures and asynchronous discussions using technology, which provides a means for actively interacting with professors and fellow students. With one click, I can get access to lecture recordings, interactive quizzes, and multimedia presentations thereby customizing learning to fit my peculiar preferences or pace.

And just like that it was already afternoon and as a sleepy person, I NEED A NAP every day or else I'd get super sleepy and cannot progress any more information.

After taking a nap it is time for my afternoon class, which are my minor subjects. One app that has helped me organize and be alerted when we have online classes, is Google Calendar (special thanks to my friend Melanie to keeping us posted on Google Calendar)

After my minor classes, it is already dinner time and this is the time that I play with my dogs it is my duty to feed them during dinner time.

During the night when I do some activities, one website that I love to use is Canva, it is super accessible and very easy to use.

After finishing everything, whenever I have free time I like to practice my guitar skills by practicing some songs or repeating what I already know.

AFTER ALL THAT, it is time to take a break and watch some movies and scroll to TikTok until I fall asleep.

AND THATS ALL! Reflecting on my journey as a student of nursing, I cannot help but notice one thing: technology has been my companion without whom it is not possible for me to become a healthcare practitioner. By making my morning ritual more systemized, enabling interactive learning and collaborative projects online, or using platforms like Canvas, education encounters have never been the same again in my life. Even while becoming an intersection between technology and life, I believe these digital materials will continue to make me feel strong as far as being the best nurse is concerned.

Now all its left to do is go to bed then start it all over again by morning.

What is the deal with influencers?

This week’s readings discuss influencers on social media, ethically researching sensitive populations online and the growth of TikTok. I remember that early in the course, we discussed ethics in getting social media data. It is kind of hard to believe how easy it is to get information once you know how to use the software. Proferes et al. (2021) demonstrated the problems with using Reddit as a data source. I was surprised that only 101 of the studies they looked at had mentioned IRB. I think it was so surprising because we are held to such high standards and have to go through a lengthy process to be able to conduct research, and we are only students. Professionals should be held to the same standards. I like the authors’ recommendation that researchers should contemplate risks to users if they include quotes or usernames. People might feel like they can speak more freely on platforms like Reddit and be unaware that their data could be used in a future study. I don’t have a Reddit, so I don’t know firsthand how much people share, but regardless, researchers should have to go through the IRB process to minimize harm among participants.

Bhandari and Bimo (2022) examine why TikTok is so popular and offer the framework of the “algorithmized self.” I think that their results might have been more robust if they had included a survey in addition to their interviews. Regardless, the authors presented interesting findings. Their main takeaway is the “algorithmized self,” which is a “conceptualization of the changing nature of self-making online,” (pg. 5). Instead of the “self” coming from social ties, it comes from reflexive engagement, so forming ourselves out of our acts. I think this speaks to how well TikTok caters to our personalities and has changed the social media experience. I do believe that TikTok and the “algorithmized self” are valid to some extent, but we are also shaped by our social ties. 

Brooks et al. (2021) discuss how influencers come to have celebrity status. An influencer that immediately came to my mind while I read this is Alix Earle. She has acquired celebrity status and is one of the biggest platforms on TikTok. Seeing this process broken down was great because I know a few aspiring influencers who post all the time, which I now know is called attention labor, and it makes sense why you need to work hard to get attention and build communities. Thinking about influencers in comparison to traditional celebrities, I trust influencers more to an extent. When I see a celebrity advertising a product, I am immediately skeptical because I know they are probably getting paid to say things. When I see an influencer promoting a product, I am more open to exploring that product. The authors mention that influencers work with brands, which I think is what makes it seem more authentic. They aren’t forced to say anything and can be more truthful because that company isn’t their job. 

Overall, these readings were informative about important topics. I gained a deeper understanding of ethically researching online, social media influencers and TikTok.
