you know those perfumes that are supposed to be based on “pheromones” or whatever that are supposed to make you more attractive?

imagine that… with Miguel… who already has extra sensitive smell… I’m just— 😳

OMG anon i TOTALLY see what u referenced right here. the man will be on his knees

summary ➤ you got one of these pheromones perfumes that went viral and Miguel notices it pairing ➤ miguel x gender neutral reader

content warnings ➤ none in particular, just miggy sniffing u word count ➤ 841

You had seen some reels on instagram or some tik toks where lots of people, especially women, were trying on these perfumes with pheromones, and you'd managed to get hold of one of these famous things out of sheer curiosity. You examined it a little, wondering what effect it might give, then decided why not give it a try? After all, that's what it was created for. So you applied it to basic heat points, focusing on your wrists, the inside of your elbows and, of course, your neck. Determining for yourself whether it worked was impossible, you needed someone else to try this, so you simply wandered around the society as you would do on the basis, a few glances turning towards you as you strolled to Miguel's office. You entered the office as if nothing had happened, making your way to the platform where Miguel was silhouetted in his usual busy-man way. Most of the spiders in society had a keen sense of smell, as did you, but this scent was designed to attract the noses of a targeted audience, so you wondered how he would react. "Hi gorgeous," you smiled, the platform slightly raised just three meters above you as you walked towards it. He did not even turn around, his eyes deeply anchored on his holopad and mind burried in work, mumbling all the same as you came within a few steps of the platform, stopping in your tracks: "Hey cariño,” he sighed, sliding something from one holopad to the other, “how are-" But he immediately stops his sentence, and you can hear him inhaling a sharp but short breath. You smile, he noticed really quickly. He pivoted slightly on the side, showing you his profile, eyebrows furrowed, sniffing again a little more slowly, his chest swells as his lungs fill with the slightest ounce of it. His head turns to yours on the spot, his eyes immediately landing on yours. "What's that?" Touché. He'd taken the bait, and hard. He turned fully towards you, beginning the descent from the platform. "What's what?" you asked, concealing your excitement incredibly well, as if the questioning made you genuinely confused as you pulled every string of your web to perfection for your little prey to get stuck. He didn't even wait until the platform was completely ashore before stepping off, pressing the pace towards you. "That," he repeated, his eyebrows furrowing as each step closer to you made him smell that inebriating scent. "What do you mean 'that'?" you say, a little laugh that's half confused and half amused taking hold of you. "You changed something," he said, fluttering his eyes as he finally reached your height and the smell became more and more powerful.

Once he was close enough to you, he closed his eyes, taking another deep breath as he opened them again the next second. Is it you, or has his pupil dilated? He took hold of your wrist, bringing it close to his lips and smelling the perfume on it, pressing his nose against your skin until it wrinkled and closing his eyes tightly just to be poisoned by the smell that seemed so exceptional. He opened his eyelids again, a slight tinge of red beginning to take hold of his irises. He gave you a look of new interest, lips parted as his eyes locked on yours. "Did you... buy a new lotion?" You let out a little breath of laugh from your nose, pretending not to understand a single thing he was saying. Most of the spiders in society had a keen sense of smell, as did you, but this scent was designed to attract the noses of a targeted audience, so you wondered how he would react.

"'No? What's the matter?" you ask as he listens intently, "What's changed?"

He stepped closer, his body towering over you as he tilted his head, bringing you face to face with him. Yeah, his pupils were truly dilated.

"There's something new, you..." he seemed to consider his words for a moment as he inhaled, moistening his lips, "smell different."

He came to smell your cheek, the skin of his nose brushing against yours and sending little shivers down your spine.

"Really?" you asked, smiling softly. You weren't regretting this discovery at all, and Miguel seemed to be of the same opinion. "How so?"

His eyelashes placed butterfly kisses on your cheek as he moved down a little further into the crook of your neck, the sensation of his breath spreading over your warm, scented skin sending little tingles up the back of your skull.

"It's..." he breathed, coming to place his hand previously on your wrist at the small of your back and pulling you towards him to get closer, "intoxicating."

You felt the warmth of his lips kiss tenderly down your neck, the distinct sensation of his canines tracing the warm skin of it as he let out a sigh.

"Lyla," he grunted against your skin, "Lock the door please."

Definitely a good investment.

 ‘Is blogging still relevant in the age of TikToks and Instagram?’

By: naomicindy

Blogging used to be the thing back in the day. Remember those early 2000s vibes? A person with a quirky blog could be the coolest internet celeb. But now, with TikTok and Instagram dominating our screens, you might wonder—does blogging even matter anymore? Or is it just this outdated, long-winded thing nobody has time for? Honestly, it’s not as simple as “blogging is dead.” The truth is, blogging has evolved—and it’s still holding its ground in ways that TikTok and Instagram can’t always match.

Okay, sure, TikTok and Instagram are unbeatable when it comes to grabbing attention fast. I mean, who isn’t glued to their screen scrolling through Reels or laughing at some random TikTok trend? They’re quick, colorful, and honestly kind of addictive. But here’s the thing—when you need actual depth, like more than 15 seconds of dancing or a cute outfit inspo clip, you’re not going to find that on TikTok or Instagram. Blogs, though? They give you space to dig deeper, tell real stories, and share insights without a time crunch (Clover, 2024). They’re like the cozy library of the internet—always there when you need them.

Take fashion, for example. Fashion blogging was huge before influencers started popping off on Instagram. It wasn’t just about posting cute outfits—it was a whole vibe of storytelling, trend predictions, and personal branding (Suwaidi, 2016). And instead of disappearing, blogging evolved into something more business-y, with bloggers turning their sites into full-blown careers. I read about this study by Pedroni (2023) that said fashion blogging adapted to the rise of Instagram and TikTok, proving it’s not stuck in the past but rolling with the times.

What’s cool about blogs is how flexible they are. They can be your go-to for in-depth guides, tutorials, or opinion pieces. Like, think about it—have you ever seen a 15-second TikTok really explain how to build something or go into the details of why a trend works? TikToks and Reels might give you a quick “wow” moment, but if you’re genuinely interested, you’ll probably end up Googling for more info—and guess where you’ll land? A blog. Blogs and short-form content can totally complement each other this way. Imagine watching a TikTok on how to upcycle old clothes and then clicking a link to read the full DIY steps on a blog. Perfect match.

Also, blogs offer something social media can’t always guarantee: control. On TikTok or Instagram, you’re at the mercy of algorithms. One day your content is popping, and the next, it’s ghosted—like, what happened, girl? Blogs don’t have that problem. They’re your space to shine, with no algorithm randomly deciding if your post deserves to be seen. Plus, owning your blog feels like building your personal empire—it’s yours. It’s not just some rented corner on social media.

That said, I get why some people think blogs aren’t “cool” anymore. Like, who has time to sit and read long posts when you can get bite-sized entertainment in seconds? Attention spans are getting shorter, and younger audiences are all about that quick, fun content. But here’s the twist: blogs are adapting too. They’re not just walls of text anymore. Think embedded videos, clickable infographics, photo galleries, and even interactive polls. It’s not about competing with TikTok—it’s about finding ways to work alongside it.

This is where hybrid content strategies come in. Let’s say you’re a creator with a blog. You could use TikTok to post snappy, catchy videos to grab people’s attention and then guide them to your blog for the full story. It’s like giving your audience the best of both worlds. Studies like one by Haenlein et al. (2020) show that cross-platform strategies are actually super effective for keeping your content relevant across different types of audiences.

And let’s not forget how blogs build credibility. Anyone can pop off with a viral TikTok, but blogs let you prove you know your stuff. Want to be taken seriously in your niche? A blog is like your personal portfolio. It shows you’re dedicated enough to create something lasting, not just chasing the next trend. I’ve seen creators use blogs to land brand partnerships and build legit careers, which feels a lot more stable than relying solely on social media hype (Nguyen, 2023).

Of course, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Blogging isn’t easy, and it’s definitely not as fast-paced as TikTok or Instagram. It takes time to write posts, make them visually appealing, and keep your readers interested. And let’s be real—getting people to read blogs can feel like an uphill battle when everyone’s distracted by shorter content. But the key is knowing how to balance both. It’s not about “blogging vs. TikTok.” It’s about using each platform for what it’s best at and letting them support each other.

So yeah, TikTok and Instagram might be the stars of the moment, but blogging isn’t going anywhere. It’s still a unique, valuable tool for creators who want to go deeper, share their expertise, or simply have a digital space they truly own. And when blogs and social media team up? That’s when the magic happens. Blogging isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving, just in a way that makes sense for today’s digital world.

Influencers Shaping Public Health Misinformation: "Dr. Tiktok" and Mukbang Culture

MDA20009 Digital Communities │ Week 7: Public Health Campaigns

Are you like me and every other human on this planet? Always on the phone, doomscrolling through Tiktok, Instagram reels and Youtube.

Undeniably, it has now gone out of bounds as social media can be a great source of entertainment, but they've also let the floodgates open for a lot of misinformation generally with reference to health and wellness. Once you spend long enough on such platforms, towards the end, you will begin to observe the visible rise of self-proclaimed "experts" giving out advice on every health issue, from mental to skincare, which is starting to raise eyebrows.

On the other hand, influencers involved in Mukbang culture are distorting the message about eating habits and body image. Their unethical health narratives, though not clearly disseminated, confuse the followers and damage public health campaigns well-designed to give accurate, science-backed messages.

The Rise of Self-Proclaimed Health Experts

TikTok's short video format encourages users to share quick tips, life hacks, and advice, earning it the nickname "the therapist's couch of Gen Z" (Weikle, 2024). Although it owes a great deal to destigmatizing mental health and making it easier to talk about issues, there have also been concerns about misinformation. Indeed, the unqualified pretender plays out their authority over complex issues, such as mental health, nutrition, or skincare.

Self-diagnosis and providing mental health advice has been an emerging trend as of late. The "Dr. TikToks" profess to know all the symptoms of illnesses like depression, anxiety, or ADHD and can influence viewers into self-diagnosing rather than visiting a professional. Research by the University of British Columbia found that of the 100 most popular TikTok videos about ADHD, over half contained misleading information, most of which relied on personal experiences rather than being clinical experts (Weikle, 2024).

Another disturbing thing is that some influencers take up roles as skincare experts by providing tips on easy access to perfect skin through their 'magic' ingredients. One infamous example is the TikTok influencer/physician's assistant (TikTok handle: devthepa) who promoted beef tallow, a rendered fat from beef, as a skincare miracle. According to her, beef tallow could give your skin a glowy look, like DUH, of course, fat is oil, so of course, it gives that "glowy effect" when, in reality, it's just oily. Dermatologists quickly debunked these claims. Despite concerning warnings, the video still went viral, and many people, particularly younger followers, began to follow this advice without understanding how useless it is.

Misinformation tends to be left unchecked. That underlines the utility of unverified advice. TikTok encourages conversations that can help destigmatize mental illness yet lends themselves to those throaty mouths and parroting personal anecdotes mixed with professional credentials as influencers.

Mukbang Culture: The Illusion of Eating Without Consequences

A comparison between 2 famous Mukbangers: Eat with Boki and Nikocado Avocado

Mukbang has invaded the world, coming from South Korea, where influencers devoured high volumes of food while engaging viewers. The practice has gained much prominence on sites like YouTube and TikTok. Mukbangers mainly eat a lot of calories while looking like they ate nothing at all through some strenuous workouts to attain and maintain their healthy-looking figures. This world creation misleads the average person into believing there are no health risks associated with overeating, especially when the influencers do not mention calorie deprivation or editing tricks (Amrane, 2020).

Encouragement towards excessiveness has been opposed to measures taken on public health with regard to balanced eating. Mukbang content may provide some retreat for viewers, or even a little companionship, but it then normalizes excessive consumption and food choice itself for being excessively unhealthy for audiences. For younger groups, this distortion can ruin their standards toward the reality of nutrition as well as create misinterpretations in eating patterns. Mukbang culture, according to Amrane (2020), relies on and impacts instant gratification sacrifices for long-term health, forming an unhealthy aspect over food.

The social consequences are huge. Public health efforts, such as anti-obesity campaigns, speak about moderation and mindful eating, while mukbangs endorse a lifestyle of excess, which is contrary. Beyond the individual consequences, this trend reveals a more universal ethical dilemma: waste normality and overconsumption in a world where there is still hunger.

The Dangers of Medical and Health Misinformation

Self-proclaimed medical experts and mukbang influencers on social media are more interested in entertainment and sponsorships than in the well-being of their audience, advertising useless supplements, self-medication and the wrong lifestyle. This shifts reliance from true healthcare providers to fake ones, thus allowing fake health information to spread quickly and widely without fact checking. The main characteristic of social media, which is lack of regulation, assists the spread of these fabrications to millions and complicates efforts in promoting public health.

Combating Misinformation: Key Strategies

So, how do we combat this growing wave of misinformation?

Platform Accountability: social media platforms take greater responsibility for what is shared online. While Instagram and TikTok have made important strides in tackling some harmful content, there is much further to go with respect to health-related advice from credible sources. Such platforms should focus their attention on verified health professionals and improve tools for flagging or reporting misleading advice.

Adapt Public Health Campaigns: Partner up with relevant influencers to relay accurate, engaging, and evidence-based health information.

Promote Media Literacy: Educate the public to tell the difference between real health advice from personal stories or unverifiable claims.

Conclusion

In an age of social media where viewpoints on health and wellness are created, this has become an important point for all awareness and updates. The healer "Dr TikTok" and, of course, Mukbang culture gives importance to the phrase mentioned above in such a way that it shows the power and pitfalls of digital platforms in the public health sphere.

Merely holding internet platforms accountable in dealing with misinformation, changing public health campaigns to bring them into the digital contemporary space, and building media literacy are steps to a country where more citizens benefit from being well-informed and health conscious. Public health campaigns must reform in the Internet age, ensuring that the right information reaches audiences before the wrong messages go viral.

I'm watching the Kill Count for V/H/S/85 and I think I might have undervalued the genuine vhs feel of it considering the lack of that was my only real criticism of Beyond. Maybe I wasn't into the performance art of TKNOGD, or maybe Dreamkill eclipsed everything else in my mind. There really were a lot of great effects in the whole film, and Dreamkill took the cake. Now that I think about it, the titular dream kill tapes were a lot like the film reels in Insidious. Aside from Viral, I feel like V/H/S is a very consistently good franchise.

‘Is blogging still relevant in the age of TikTok’s and Instagram?’

Indeed, it remains relevant to this day and age. Despite the rise of TikTok and Instagram, some individuals continue to pursue blogging as their hobby. I also do the same thing, just like right now, I do my blog because I need to do it for my assignment. People continue to read blogs to find information or conduct research. As for me, I read blogs to learn tips or simply to immerse myself in other people's stories, (particularly those who have their hearts broken HE HE HE)

IS BLOGGING STILL RELEVANT IN 2024?

Is blogging still relevant? Does anyone still use blogs? When I discuss blogging, I often encounter these types of inquiries. Instagram and TikTok have embraced blogging as a crucial online platform for self-expression. You might wonder whether blogging still holds significance in today's digital world.

The dominance of social media platforms nowadays has led some to declare that blogging is dead. But this couldn’t be any further from the truth. Because young people now only know Instagram and TikTok, they are rarely aware of blogging. Even if they know it, they may believe that blogging is solely for the elderly, a completely unfounded misconception. (like duhhh... elderly whoooooooo?)

Aside from that, we can also share different types of topics through blogging, such as personal life, education, awareness, and more. It functions similarly to a diary, but with the added benefit of typing and the ability to add gifs to make it more interesting.

WHAT IS BLOGGING?

let me tell youuuuu.....

Blogging also often involves sharing long-form articles on a specific subject. Consider the topic of treating an individual suffering from a mental health issue. (I think I also need to read about it because my deluluness is already at a higher level.)

Most of the time, the blogger chooses a topic that can attract the interest of their target audience. Most blogs have a specific target audience, such as young people who are interested in fashion or makeup. By writing about it, we can pique the interest of young people, encouraging them to visit the blog and learn more about makeup and fashion. Additionally, we can include numerous pictures and videos to enhance their understanding.

INSTAGRAM VS TIKTOK VS BLOG

In the digital sphere, blogging, Instagram, and TikTok each have their own functions and present different benefits and difficulties for content producers. This is a comparison of various platforms according to their features, duration of material, and audience interaction.

Each medium serves the same purpose, allowing people to share and post about topics they are passionate about. The delivery method is the only difference. Blogging is more about writing and reading, but Instagram and TikTok allow users to post reels or videos to convey their perspectives. (As a shy shy cat, talking in front of the camera is a no-no.)

We can use all three mediums as platforms for awareness, leveraging their unique formats to engage audiences and foster community support. To improve the blog, we can use educational resources. A lot of blogs on mental health offer helpful information about resources, treatment alternatives, and coping mechanisms. This educational component empowers the readers to prioritize their mental health and seek assistance when needed. While TikTok primarily focuses on viral content, mental health issues frequently gain popularity, raising awareness and inspiring people to share their personal narratives. When we click on hashtags like #MentalHealth Awareness, we can highlight all topics related to mental health. Instagram prioritizes visual impact, enabling users to share impactful photos and graphics related to mental health issues. Using quotes or infographics, you can effectively communicate ideas about mental health.

However, if you're looking for a comprehensive resource on mental health, I recommend reading the blog, as it provides everything you need (including a psychology number if you're interested, idiihhhhhh).

While TikTok and Instagram offer immediate engagement and access to vast audiences, blogging remains a powerful tool for creating lasting content with full ownership. Each platform has its strengths; thus, many creators succeed by integrating all three into their strategies. Using Instagram or TikTok as promotional funnels can drive traffic back to blogs, where deeper engagement occurs. Ultimately, the choice between these platforms depends on individual goals, target audiences, and preferred content styles.

That is all from me..bye.

Increase Engagement with Weekly Trending Topics: Boost Your Likes with the Buy Instagram Likes Strategy!

Every week, new trending topics emerge on social media, offering one of the most fun and effective ways to stand out on Instagram and capture your followers' attention. By tapping into these popular trends and adding your own twist, you not only set yourself apart but also encourage your followers to engage more with your content. So, how can you use these trends effectively?

First, start by researching popular hashtags and trending topics on social media each week. By incorporating these trends into your content, you can reach a broader audience and increase engagement from your viewers. For example, you can create a fun Reels video by adding your own unique spin to a viral dance trend or share your thoughts on a popular movie or TV series, sparking conversations with your followers.

With the Buy Instagram Likes strategy, you can ensure that your trending content is seen by more people, quickly boosting your likes. Trending content already has the potential to reach a large audience, and as your like count increases, Instagram's algorithm will promote your content even further. This will allow your posts to reach more users, fostering organic growth.

Additionally, you can involve your followers in the trends!

Shake It, Baby

It seems like I spend most of my time picking apart marketing flops and failures. It is important to do so, because there are object lessons to be found amid those faux pas, cautionary tales for any aspiring marketer to remember and never repeat.

But there is also wisdom in studying successes. Sure, sometimes it may appear to be all too obvious why something becomes insanely popular, because it really all boils down to marketers meeting consumer needs, and doing it in such a way that maximizes value, and is available when and where consumers are most likely to want it.

And then there are those times when the marketing is more subtle, yet you realize there is a method to the madness, that maybe they just intended things to turn out this way, even if large portions of the plot were unscripted.

Like the summer promo McDonald’s has been running with its Grimace Shake. Grimace, for those of you who weren’t around in 1971, is one of several characters the chain created to help tell—and sell—the McDonald’s story. This is another way of saying they made it all very kid-friendly, and parents have been taking their kids there just to get them to shut up. What is Grimace anyway? He was the shake-stealing anthropomorphized taste bud. Really.

Oh, and if you have any of the old Happy Meal toys from then, they are worth a ton of money these days.

So last month on the 12th, McDonald’s released the Grimace Shake, and it has become an internet sensation, taking on a new life of its own. Gen-Zers in particular have taken to the purple shake, and created an endless stream of reels, which they post to TikTok. All the while, McDonald’s is reaping zillions of dollars in free marketing.

To be fair, there was and still is some risk in a strategy like this. After all, it could have completely backfired and spawned hate, or nothing at all. But in this case, McDonald’s effectively had a Pride Month campaign without actually having one—because people made the connection themselves—as well as parody clips that show people faking their deaths after drinking the gooey concoction.

And yeah, that part is risky business, but the reels have not been taken literally. I can’t think of any companies who would want their product associated with death. But when you unleash anything these days, you implicitly accept that the jury of public opinion—in this case, TikTokers—will do what they want with it. In this case, it worked like a charm, because what could possibly be bad about a milk shake named after a legendary character?

To their credit, McDonald’s is playing along and milking it—pun intended—to the hilt. It cleverly dodges questions about the flavor, slyly inviting people to try it themselves. Oh, and you can’t just walk in and order this shake. It comes as part of a meal deal featuring your choice of a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium fries, and medium shake. It clocks in at about 1500 calories.

Can anyone say food coma?

McDonald’s is no stranger to short-term menu items, some of which have become annual, like the Shamrock Shake. And then there’s McRib, the ultra-processed pork patty served on a long bun with gobs of barbecue sauce. The McRib keeps coming back to life periodically, as it has since 2005 when it became a seasonal item. Rumor has it that last year’s release was the last, but I’m pretty sure that McDonald’s knows the sandwich has a cult-like following of fanatics. They would be wise to keep it coming back long into the future.

As I bet they will do with the Grimace Shake, since it has proven to be more viral than pretty much any of the other promo menu items they have released. And what a sneaky way to let fans do the associating with Pride Month, thereby dodging any stray bullets coming from the Far Right. Sheer genius, I tell you, but with a little risk. But there’s seldom a big payoff when the risk is low.

Good job, McDonald’s. You have struck gold with purple.
