#you can't hashtag your way to breaking the internet

[cityzenshark]

I've been thinking about ways how to make the Terrans actually memorable, relatable, and likeable for their target audience. The show overuses the "kids being kids" until the Terrans come off as an obnoxious bunch rather than naive youngsters who real children can relate to..

.

Twitch:

As eldest with Thrash, she steps up to the role as Leader. She tries her best to be a good role model for the triplets, but she has a short temper. She broke the table on her first family game night. She flew right on OP's face after he admits his obliviousness about the Terrans' nature that they themselves don't know about. She and Thrash climbed on Alex's/Dot's car that miraculously didn't break (wth - you grounded them for breaking the kitchen wall but not when they almost crush your car to pose??).

Twitch needs an episode where she learns a hard lesson to control her temper - preferably where she hurt her own family. It's perfect for children who don't behave well when dealing with negative emotions.

Thrash:

He takes the role as the overprotective eldest. It fits his characteristic as the Defender and shield-user. He gatekeeps the triplets for their own safety and out of paranoia after the incident with Swindle. He would also have the "I know better" atittude to reflect those who think they know better than their others around them when--in truth--they don't.

I'd like an episode where he accuses someone is doing something awful to the family only for his accusations to become the very cause of the episode's problem. This can teach children to avoid jumping into conclusions and not let their bad experiences cloud their judgement.

Hashtag:

She represents people who made everything about themselves resolve around their interests and hobbies. She relies on the internet & her hacking skills too much. She also seems to be the type who assumes "lots of reading = expertise" and forgot the importance of direct experiences. Her interaction with Starscream gives off that she has read things about PTSD--most likely to understand Grimlock's situation--while recklessly ignoring the part where he's a millennium-old Decepticon.

I'd like to see moments where the family calls out Hashtag's obsessions, like the time she demands JB to cry on camera when he's obviously uncomfortable with it.

"Stop being a director and be my sister right now."

Nightshade:

They represent children who feels isolated from their own family, and adoptees who doesn't immediately consider their guardians as family. Nothing much to be said here because their alt mode episode originally has a nice buildup for it. Sadly it was scrapped.

Nightshade's different form of enjoyment is also a way to educate children who has yet to understand why they can't find themselves enjoying what most kids do to have fun, that it's okay, and they aren't alone in this.

Jawbreaker:

Big boy represents children who feels left behind either in their own family or in their age group. His journey in choosing an alt mode is perfect, but the show made him appear annoyingly useless to the viewers instead of emphasizing his feelings of uselessness.

This could also be a way to demonstrate WHY the Terrans must have an alt mode -- so they'd have proper exterior protection because the protoform isn't as sturdy as JB's size made him appear to be. Although he has what it takes to do certain tasks, his protoform doesn't allow him to do so. Hence his desperation to find an alt mode.

July seventh, 2019 Bang Chan Dating scandal Seriousness: 8.5/10

During their Clé promotions, Pixie is seen being awfully close to her members, specifically Bang Chan. Many Pixie antis start accusing the two of dating, turning into a fandom war. Many go on to say that the reason she is in Stray Kids is the "fact" that she is sleeping with Bang Chan.

While JYPE usually doesn't let their idols respond to the accusations, they had to give Pixie explicit permission, because if she wouldn't have made a statement with permission, she was going to do it anyway. This is her official response.

Stay, To say that I am beyond tired and frustrated is an understatement. The fact that you go as far as to say Chan, a full grown adult, is dating me, a minor, is frankly disgusting. I am disappointed. In the middle of your hate towards me, you bring down the man that is THE glue that holds Stray Kids. The reason I had been so close to the boys is because, believe it or not, we are all like family. Bang Chan is like a brother to me, and I doubt he sees me as anything other than a little sister. And, another thing... I am a MINOR. Why would I be in a relationship with a grown man? I am disgusted by your behavior. If you hurt one of us, you are not a Stay. You don't deserve that title. Pixie

---

While many international fans praised the idol, many Knets were appalled by her blunt response. Pixie was already unpopular with Knets, so this just brought her down.

While many were hating on her apparent "rudeness", many praised her for sticking up for her leader. While they see her as "unladylike", they believed her sincerity for the response. It is not a day many recognize, because many people chose to forget the incident. Many Pixie antis still use this as "proof that she is a terrible person".

------------

August 3rd, 2019 Bullying allegations Seriousness: 7/10

Along with her dating scandal, an American user by the name of Notsokayla had tweeted "proof" of Pixie bullying her severely in middle school. Many Knets were outraged at the allegations, starting the hashtag, #Pixieunemployment.

However, amidst the speculation, many people connected the dots of her trainee time and her alleged bullying and realized it hadn't added up. She had confirmed in a knowing bros episode that she had done most of her learning in South Korea instead of the states.

It was soon revealed that she had lied, and Stay flamed her on the internet. Right now, the tweet has been removed and Notsokayla is not on any platforms, as her name and face are infamous.

August 9th, 2022 Lesbian scandal Seriousness: 9/10

During her MANIAC promotions, Pixie is a guest MC along with WonYoung. She is seen multiple times flirting with the girl and with the other female idols she interviewed.

Many were angry at her blatant flirtation. Many people saw it as real, and the boycott train was racking up. August 9th, she was officially put on a short hiatus for the next two months, resuming her activities for MAXIDENT performances.

Pixie was allowed to make an official statement, much to JYPE's dismay. And what did she do?

She posted a picture of her on Instagram with a Bisexual flag. She writes in the captions:

Since you guys love to be nosy about what goes on in my personal life, yes I am Bisexual. However, I will not put my life on hold because people can't handle girls flirting with girls. I am NOT in a relationship with WonYoung. I am NOT in a relationship with a female idol. Leave my sexual life private, God damn.

I wish you hadn't found out this way.

------------

August 18th, 2022 House fire incident Seriousness: 10/10

During her hiatus, she had gone home to stay with family. Her friends had stayed with her as well for a few days, just to stay with her family.

While she was gone to pick up her niece, a childhood friend turned Sasaeng had been so jealous she was spending all of her time with her family, he had lit her house on fire, effectively killing her parents and sister in law. The guys were not in the house at the time, which believed to be a good instinct.

The funeral took place after his immediate incarceration(he gave himself up in the name of "love"), and many reporters swarm the chapel to get a glimpse of the idol group that was invited.

Any sane person boycotted the media outlet after the blatant monetization they were trying to make of the situation. JYPE is currently in the middle of suing the outlet for emotional distress.

Now, Fei Bo and Fei Dio live in Seoul in a strict protection order given by JYPE and local enforcement. Pixie refuses to give out any information about her brother's wearabouts, as that what took her parents last time. At this time, they are not on any platform except as a guest in some Pixie instagram posts.

May 5th. 2023 Nudes scandal Seriousness: 6/10

A new soloist by the name of GBam had printed and posted pictures around the JYPE building of her nudes she had when she was 15.

He was apprehended soon after and JYPE had to make a statement, knowing that if any one of the members had made one, they would have to be fired.

Dear Stays,

Soloist GBam is now under custody of posting nude photos of our idol, who was underage at the time. Any person that is found to be in possession of these photographs will be banned from future stray kids concerts and fined a hefty sum.

Thank you for your understanding,

JYPE

The man is still a mystery to fans, many speculate it was a jealous ex while the others say it was an anti. Until November of that year, there was no explanation. With her release of her single album, she had confirmed that, yes, it was an ex she had when she was a trainee.

June 20th, 2023 Changbin dating scandal Seriousness: 5/10

During the 5-star dome tour, paparazzi had snuck into the hotel and took pictures of Pixie and Changbin kissing (albeit, passionately) in the safety of the hotel. Many people, instead of being angry at the idols, we're furious with the paparazzi for taking semi-explicit photos of the couple.

Since their dating ban had been lifted two years prior, they had officially announced their three year relationship by June 22nd, 2023. They had wanted to keep it as private as possible but since they announced their relationship, they became one of the most famous power couples.

------------

August 3rd, 2023 Pregnancy rumor #1 Seriousness: 7/10

Pixie had been wearing baggier clothing than what she originally had, and when she did a photoshoot for NIKE, many people could see she had gained a bit of weight. Especially where her uterus was.

Many people speculated she had gotten pregnant due to her relationship. She answered this during a instagram live the next day. She had laughed hysterically, before denying the claims.

"I am on my period, that's why i look more bloated recently. Yall are weird for wanting to have me wear more revealing clothing..." She proceeds to side eye them and end the live.

------------

January 28th, 2024 Pregnancy rumor #2 Seriousness: 4/10

In France, she is photographed with Lisa and a few other female friends, one of which being her backup dancer. In the background, you could see a pregnancy test with a faint 'positive' sign. Because of this, many people were to jump on this.

To respond to this, she took a photo of her doctor's note(only leaving in her name and the results). She had gone to the doctor to get tested for pregnancy. She was not pregnant.

Her comment: yall... it was my backup dancer. She and her husband are expecting a child. That was before we found out she was pregnant, the test shouldn't have been in the frame 😭😭 You guys are so weird😭😭😭

------------

February 3rd, 2024 Engagement rumors Seriousness: 5/10

Pixie and Changbin posted a photo together, one that looked awfully like an engagement announcement. (She thought it was funny, getting them all riled up)

While her hands are obscured, many people saw the engagement-looking ring on a cord around her neck.

She responded to the comments about the ring: yall, it's a promise ring. Chill.

MORE EARTHSPARK THOUGHTS

i fucking LOVE these kids holy shit. I've been avoiding spoilers for the most part so i went into the rest of this season blind and I really appreciate the fact that Jawbreaker is still figuring himself out. It feels like the new terrans speed-ran their character arcs (understandable given the earlier focus on Twitch, Thrash, Robby, and Mo) but Jawbreaker being given time to develop and sort of fixate on searching for a perfect alt mode is endearing. His contrast to Hashtag being an impulsive ipad kid is *chefs kiss*. so fucking funny. her first week being alive has been spent watching tv dramas and internet memes and her alt mode being a constantly internet connected armored van is just perfect. and the little ponytail <3<3<3 I like seeing her learn to connect with the others in a meaningful way that doesn't talk down to ipad kids (which, tbh, is too easy and too... mean spirited? for this show. im so glad they treated her with respect and whimsy)

ALSOOOOO hi nightshade hi hi hiiiii your alt mode is so goth im LIVING. love this kid with their crazy science projects and fantasy literature. THE BATMAN REFERENCES IN THE FINALE AKDJFLKASDF also their self assuredness and autistic swag making them a little unable to find common ground with their siblings is heart meltingly sweet. Its really nice to see their parents understanding that and helping them along with it too ;A; TARANTULAS ACTING AS A SORT OF MENTOR OUUUUGH don't @ me but this might actually push me to watch beast wars. i need more of this goth bitch in my life. I really want them to show up in future episodes but as is I'm really happy they got to go free of ghost. best of luck with the holomatter bro

i have minor beef with the way they're focusing on the war backstory but Thrash's "why are you leaving the new generation to clean up your mess" speech was good, if not entirely satisfactory. old grandma megatron can't rebuild the transformers' relationship to humanity on his own and the terrans really are a perfect bridge, i feel. I'm just glad they're given time to be more than that first. (speaking of that episode, r.i.p. shockwave, #1 asshole).

aside from the thing with dr octagonopus meridian though, i really did like the new episodes even if they did feature less of the old cast than i'd prefer. Watching Twitch interact with the new terrans and taking on the older sister role and sort of controlling some of her worst impulsivity is really cool to watch, and her taking on too much of the burden of responsibility in reaction to Bumblebee leaving genuinely has me worrying for her. Kudos to the writing team for such a subtle character shift. please give her a break before this girl develops eldest daughter syndrome im begging you

[underscore-jude]

I want to hear more about your version of season 3 of HSMTMTS with the changes you made.

everything is the same except famed internet white man wayneradiotv is there just kind of hanging out /j

im just gonna list the things that are different cause a fair amount of things are the same, and i already explained most of what i would change for Carlos and Kourtney, so this is mostly going to be explaining what I changed for Nini, Lily, Seb, Big Red, and what takes the place of the love triangle i eradicated.

3x01: Nini and Lily are at camp and Nini is gay panicking about Gina, as they've become a lot closer since beauty and the beast and she started working with Jamie. Lily is at camp as well and is putting on a very saccharine sweet performance with Maddox but the other four girls are just soooooo over her bs. none of them were expecting her to be there, even Ricky is surprised lol. so during the opening Rily and Portwell are being all coupley and Carlos, Kourtney, Ashlyn, and Nini are hashtag over it. there are sneaky hints about a Maddox-Madison-Nini love triangle from the past few years that never actually gets explained until later. also there's a scene at the end where Seb and Big Red are playing video games in Red's basement and overall just being very cute.

3x02: Nini is having a chill ass morning by the lake and Maddox finds her working on a song. Nini tells Maddox she was invited to work on an ep with Jamie in LA but that she left her friends behind once for YAC and doesn't want to risk doing that again and it being the wrong choice, but Maddox is like "girl it's two weeks you'll see your friends again in the fall" and at some point in this episode she sings You Never Know. I think everything else in this ep is pretty much the same. Interspersed scenes of Big Red trying to teach Seb how to skateboard and failing miserably.

3x03: The Frozen cast list comes out: Gina is Anna, Kourtney is Elsa, Jet is Kristoff, Carlos is Hans, Ricky is Olaf, and Nini, Ashlyn, and Lily in various ensemble roles. One of Nini's roles is as the Queen (that's important later). Jet and Ricky go on a Just Bros Bonding Adventure because Ricky is pointedly avoiding Lily and Jet is pointedly avoiding Maddox. When EJ won't go to the shrine, Gina takes Nini to find it so she can ask why Nini's been acting so weird around her lately. When Nini won't say anything cause she's still not sure herself, so she finds Kourtney and tells her (and Carlos cause he just happens to be there and he clocks her almost immediately) everything that's going on. Also, Big Red and Seb break into East High and find a ghost.

3x04: So since Jet is Kristoff this time around, when he disappears and EJ fills in for him, he and Gina do WDYKAL. When Jet comes back, he bumps into Nini preparing to leave, and the two have a very weird moment. Jet returns and Val tells him to clean up his act, and he passes Gina on his way into the movie. Gina goes to ask if they can watch Camp Rock, and sees Nini getting the last of her things. Confronting her, Nini reveals she's leaving to work with Jamie and that she can't stay at camp while she's so confused. Gina is lost and Nini tries her best to say what she's feeling without actually up and saying it, y'know? but Gina is way smarter than anyone likes to give her credit for ofc and says she wishes Nini didn't feel like she has to run away from herself. Cue, you guessed it, GINI GOTTA GO MY OWN WAY!!!! Oh, and Big Red and Seb begin investigating who could be haunting East.

3x05: So after Nini leaves, Lily is bumped up to the role of the Queen, and she continues to suck up to Kourtney and in trying to make them trust each other, she reveals that she stole Ricky's beast harness. In rehearsal, Gina and Carlos do LIAOD, but Carlos starts to feel sick and he ignores both Ricky and Gina asking him what's wrong. Gina expresses to Kourtney that the people she cares about the most (EJ, Carlos, Nini) keep ignoring her genuine concern, and the two bond. Kourtney sings "Monster" in rehearsal and then runs off, with Ricky running after her, and the two reconcile, while Gina goes after Carlos and says that she's not gonna force him to tell her what's going on but that she is there for him should he need it. Kourtney tells Ricky that Lily stole his harness, and he breaks up with her. That night, it's not an official campfire, but the Wildcats make one of their own and sing "This is Our Song" together. Meanwhile, Seb and Big Red plan a stakeout at EHS.

3x06: Mainly keeping the same plot as the original RCOSL episode, but instead of WDYKAL it's Carlos doing "Hans of the Southern Isles" and then he almost runs away again but then he just goes and sits with his friends and is like. Scarily quiet. We see him stretching a lot. And Seb and Big Red lock themselves in the bomb shelter and FaceTime Nini, who is working on her music in LA still, and get her onboard with the idea that East is haunted.

3x07: The color war is largely the same as it was before, with the addition of Lily being there and making fun of Kourtney for not wanting to climb the wall but then everyone else just shoots her the DARKEST look and she shuts up. Seb and Big Red are discovered by Mr. Mazzara, who reveals he's been working on stuff all summer and the noises they heard were probably just him. He kicks them out, but then hears the noises for himself.

3x08: Maddox wants to take pity on Lily, but the other girls, having adopted Maddox already, insist that she's nothing but trouble. Carlos is much more standoffish, even when Seb arrives, and the looming inevitability of the water bucket tradition keeps him from really enjoying their night. We get a genuine cover of "Wouldn't Change A Thing" from Seblos, rather than the weird disco quartet with Jet and Maddox. Jet and Maddox sing a different song that's much more appropriate for siblings. The Portwell breakup unfortunately still happens, but it's more mutual, and there is no third party involved. Ricky's post-Lily time is spent being determined to have a hashtag free and fun summer and helping Jet with all his schemes, completely ignoring any romantic feelings he might be having for anyone because he's single and free and that's totally gonna make the feelings go away, right? At the end of the episode Carlos tells EJ he doesn't want to do the tradition, and he's not ready for it.

3x09: Miss Jenn, Nini, Big Red, and Seb are all there for opening night and the three kids celebrate Ricky's birthday and definitely aren't worried about a ghost, what are you talking about? The episode is largely the same, with the change of Ricky being the one to sing In Summer and still being on his "I'M FINE THERE IS NOTHIGN WRONG" bit that everyone kind of sees right through but especially his besties.

3x10: We get the second half of the performance, including Jet singing Kristoff's Lullaby and looking dramatically over at Kourtney. Nini starts to tell Gina her true feelings, but Gina is whisked away before she can reply, and the cast sings "Everyday" together.

At the premiere a month later, EJ tells everyone that he's not being forced to go to St. Louis and is going to a school further out in Utah, but still doesn't think anyone actually cares about that or him at all. The Jetney and Madlyn confessions still play out, and Jet and Maddox panic over it. Gina is upset that EJ and Val were edited to be romantically involved, when the breakup wasn't really about that, and also that Nini has been radio silent since the performance and she went back to LA. Carlos is mortified that his debilitating body/eating issues have been manipulated to make it look like he was cheating. Ricky wants to comfort all of his friends, but his facade is starting to crack, so instead of chasing after any of them, he just sits alone onstage in confusion.

Important of Marketing Service for Small Business

It takes dedication and perseverance to run a small business. It mainly promotes goods and services or raises awareness of your brand among the masses.

Efforts made by small businesses to promote themselves are well-spent. Put your faith in them; the main reason more marketers own consulting services is because of the significant amount of competition. This blog will teach you the importance of marketing service for small business success in the niche-based business sector and the reasons that support that claim.

Marketing educates your clientele:

Educating consumers on a company's offerings is essential to the success of any enterprise. Achieving that goal is what marketing is all about. Any small business worth its salt has a website.

Everything from product descriptions and video demonstrations to customer reviews, testimonials, blog posts, and support resources can be found on a website.

One technique to get the word out about your presence in the industry is through this. According to research, 89% of consumers are likelier to purchase a brand with its website or app.

Your customers are engaged through marketing:

For local companies on a budget, social media marketing service for small business is a great way to get their name out there.

Our clients can interact with our material on prominent social media sites, including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Email, and LinkedIn.

An engaged forum is what the clients are looking for. In and of itself, publishing content on these sites serves no purpose. Making your consumers feel valued is crucial when interacting with them on social media.

Attempt to utilise hashtags effectively on each platform and implement fresh content techniques.

Opportunities to earn money are generated by marketing:

So, you've decided to break into your niche market with a brand-new product or service. Online marketing service for small business is essential because most end-users are highly active on social media.

One practical alternative would be to run an ad on Facebook. Facebook advertising allows you to target prospective clients with pinpoint accuracy. Geographical location, demography, and other factors might help you target your audience.

Facebook advertising initiatives save money. With a cheap CPC, you may acquire more high-quality leads for your company.

Advertising aids in the battle:

The more prominent companies will take notice of you when your marketing campaigns are exceptional. A giant company can't compete with the human touch.

When you work with a small business, you can expect individualised attention and a genuine feeling of value for your customer.

Marketing helps with future data:

You can expect a deluge of data when you promote your product or service online through social media or your website.

With the correct data, you can foresee your clients' habits and make informed decisions about your small business's future.

By analysing your social media account data, you can learn more about your consumers' preferences regarding offers, content presentation, and product specifics.

And if you're serious about making your company more local, creating a Google My Business (GMB) account is a great way to connect with people in your area.

To reap the benefits of marketing on an as-needed basis, one must first collect consumer information in a way that respects their privacy.

Conclusion:

In the above, we discuss the importance of marketing service for small business. A small business owner needs an internet presence to keep up with the digital or revenue marketing activities happening in and around the market. Meeting the needs and demands of the right kind of clients at the right time matters most in the end. To achieve this goal, marketing & cmo as a service plays a crucial role.

Content Writing Guide: How to Plan, Organize and Execute Your Writing Strategy

Hey there, ever wondered how to write stuff that people just can't stop reading? It's not just about fancy words or getting all technical. It's like baking a cake – you need the right mix of flavors, a dash of humor and a sprinkle of creativity. And guess what? Picture this: the internet is a wild jungle and your words are the trail markers. You want those virtual explorers to follow your path, right? Well, that's where content writing comes in. It's like crafting a treasure map, leading readers to the goldmine of information. Imagine you're at a party. You don't start with a snoozer like "In the fast-paced digital landscape…" No way! You begin by saying, "Hey, guess what? Everyone's crazy about this content writing service!" That's your attention-grabber, your virtual firework. And here is a brief on how you make content that sells: Section 1: Crafting a Comprehensive Content Strategy

Understanding Your Audience Before you start your content writing, you must understand who your audience is. What are their challenges, interests and preferences? Conduct thorough research to create detailed buyer personas that will guide your content writing process.

Defining Clear Goals What do you hope to achieve with your content? Whether it's increasing website traffic, driving sales or boosting brand awareness, having clear and measurable goals is essential. These goals will shape the type of content you create and the strategies you employ.

Keyword Research and SEO Integration Keywords are the foundation of SEO. Identify relevant keywords in your sector and naturally include them into your article. This not only helps with search engine visibility but also ensures your content is aligned with what your audience is searching for.

Content Calendar and Scheduling Consistency is key in content writing service. Develop a content calendar that outlines what topics you'll cover and when. This keeps your writing focused, organized and ensures a steady flow of content for your audience. Section 2: The Art of Compelling Content Writing

Captivating Headlines Your headline is the first thing people notice about your content. Craft headlines that are intriguing, specific and offer a clear benefit to the reader. A well-crafted headline can entice even the busiest internet user to click and read.

Engaging Introductions Once your headline grabs their attention, your introduction needs to keep them hooked. Pose a thought-provoking question, share a surprising statistic or tell a relatable story that draws the reader in and compels them to continue.

Valuable and Well-Researched Content Deliver on the promise of your headline and introduction by providing valuable, accurate and well-researched content. Backup your points with credible sources, data and examples to establish authority and build trust with your readers.

Incorporating Visuals Incorporate visuals like images, infographics and videos to break up the text and enhance the reader's understanding. Visuals not only make your content more appealing but also help convey complex information more effectively. Section 3: Perfecting Your Content

Editing and Proofreading Before you hit that publish button, thorough editing and proofreading are non-negotiable. Typos and grammatical mistakes could damage your credibility. Take the time to review your content for clarity, coherence and correctness.

Formatting for Readability Online readers have short attention spans. Format your content for easy scanning by using short paragraphs, bullet points, subheadings and bold text to highlight key information. This improves readability and keeps readers interested. Section 4: Amplifying Your Content's Reach

Social Media Promotion To reach a larger audience, share your content on all of your social media sites. Craft attention-grabbing captions and use relevant hashtags to increase discoverability. Encourage your followers to share, comment and engage with your content.

"The Government" doesn't know what your doctor tells them and they can't find out unless they break the law (HIPAA) or, for some reason, file a FOIA request (which means there's probably something else going on and you have bigger issues than what you're diagnosed with). Big Brother doesn't care if you're diagnosed with hepatitis or colon cancer or depression, because that information stays with your healthcare providers. If your healthcare providers give information to the government on their patient demographics, whether for funding or for demographic studies to follow trends in disease and disorder across the country, they will say things like "Our practice saw a 10% increase in patients with gum disease in the past year" or "Our hospital saw a 25% reduction in opioid deaths over the past 5 years" They don't put your name and photo next to your diagnosis or in fact identify you in any way, because that is illegal.

"The Government" is not interested in you being mentally ill at all. The people who are interested will be doctors, therapists, counselors, and other people who can provide you with accommodations, treatment, and therapy, should you require those things. Needing help from professionals is not a bad thing and in fact can be life-saving. Telling people to avoid that because "The Government" is watching is straight up paranoia and can be harmful to people who actually need help.

Professional diagnosis is the only kind of diagnosis that is "valid," no matter how much I hate that word. No one diagnoses themselves with hepatitis and goes on about their day, putting it up in their Tumblr bio for online clout points. No one says they're hashtag actuallycancerous without some test results. This is because those diseases have actual symptoms that can be seen on tests and/or observed by professionals, and then diagnosed.

The same is true for disorders like autism and mental health conditions like DID or C-PTSD, which all the cool kids are claiming lately. Saying that you have a condition that is not diagnosed is gross. Your voice does not belong in the discussion about those conditions, and may actually harm those who are diagnosed, since you are speaking over them.

I'd love to hear about all of the people who were killed by getting therapy or visiting a doctor for a mental health condition or autism. I looked it up and found that mostly it was the therapists and doctors being killed by their patients. Or those therapists and doctors having murders confessed to them, the patients having killed someone prior to an appointment.

I did find one record of a child being killed by a therapist practicing a non-regulated form of therapy, which is heartbreaking. I also found that many patients who are receiving treatment or are known to treatment providers who do not receive adequate help can go on to harm or kill others. If you'd like to share cases where a therapist was directly involved in the death of patients, I'm all ears.

Therapy is not right for everyone, you're correct, but therapy is not the only treatment anymore. There are many others, and a professional can help you decide which treatment plan is right for you. But if you don't have a diagnosis, you're not getting anything. Your health is worth more than you self-diagnosing and going on without any assistance... unless you're self-diagnosis for fun, in which that case you're awful.

tl;dr:

The Government doesn't care what you're diagnosed with

self-diagnosis is not valid

more patients kill therapists than therapists kill patients

mental health conditions and developmental disorders are like any other illness or disorder, they need to be professionally diagnosed

self-diagnosing yourself for internet points is gross and anyone who does so deserves to be called out for it

I think we need to separate disorder with diagnoses. I get that we're not far enough along in recognizing the harm of psychiatry that we will replace disorder framework with less pathologized labels

But we can make shift of disorder =/= diagnosis.

Diagnosis is legal, it's what labels the government gives you to impact your life in some way. Generally, unless you absolutely need some specific service that you absolutely cannot get without a diagnosis You Do Not Fucking Want One.

You should NEVER seek a diagnosis to feel validation for your experiences, that's making the irreversible decision to giving the government crucial information about your mental health. If the disorder is stigmatized a diagnosis strips you of your human rights.

It is literally just a legal acknowledgement of experiences you already have.

So yeah when you talk about disorders don't use the term diagnosis interchangeably, stop pushing therapy on everyone you're giving self help advice to, and stop prioritizing professional diagnosis as being more valid than alternatives.

This is how you get people killed and I'm being wholly serious. Therapy IS a gamble on safety for anyone south of mild depression and anxiety and you might not want to admit that but it's the truth. Stop telling people they have to play russian roulette with therapists to recover, please.

Hi! I haven’t been up to date with fandom drama in a few years since I haven’t been active on tumblr, but I read your tags under the ripped jeans Harry post and you got me interested! Could you tell me something about what you’re thinking? What is Olivia doing that you think people should be happy about but are instead whining? what did Robbie Sheffield write? I may have left the larry part of the internet but they still haven’t left my brain 🌼🌞 have a nice day!

anon 2: Hiii :) I saw your tags on the post about Harry wearing jeans but I don’t understand the context for your tags??? I couldn’t find the post/person you were referring to, but could you please explain what you mean regarding this fandom being babies and the whole Olivia proxy/last album being about a break up ect.? Thank you!

----------------

Lumping these together because they're both about my salty-ish tags from last night, a time that was so much quieter than today, weeeee! Sorry it's a bit late, *gestures toward work mail*, but it pretty much always applies, sigh. Those tags stem from some "get a load of THIS horseshit" posts that my brethren and I occasionally trade with each other, usually because we cannot BELIEVE people have the balls to post some of the most malicious, bitter posts you've ever seen, followed by something about how sad it is that fandom is so toxic these days (gotta say, eternal faves). I love these side convos (groupchats, even!) with people who similarly hate the aggressive misogyny in the 1D fandom, and because I follow just a small handful of people in that fandom who don't actively hate women (or feel the need to casually bash them along the way to celebrating their fave rich white man), I'm sometimes out of the loop when the biggies who tend to also be the worst offenders get a little frisky with it, which is why I love it when people send me posts that are the equivalent of "get a load of THIS horseshit"--the lorde provided yesterday! I'll put my unpopular opinions under the cut because it might get rant-y, and I've got tons of aes mutuals who are ????? and patient but probably ???? and patient only to a certain point.

So one of the things I find fascinating about lady-haters in the D fandom is that the vast majority of them seem to be l*rries who also seem to really love spending a lot of time and effort screaming about Eleanor, Camille, Olivia et al. about how they should act and what they should wear and how they should dance or not dance and how obnoxious they are and on and on and on AND ON, while ALSO screaming about how much they support closeted people, hashtag fuck Olivia, man, she's the real villain here! (Paraphrasing, but the #holivia tag on tumblr will give you a pretty nasty snapshot.) And the irony is that by dating Olivia or Eleanor, both these dudes get to write all these songs about a surface relationship that give a good hint about the one right below the surface through that female proxy--you know, because they aren't actually out and can't/won't. And if you're a l*rrie, I'd think you would WANT to see Eleanor around (whew, they didn't break up, even though they were "too young"!), ditto Olivia (whew, I'm ready for a lot of domestic shit about a long-term relationship!), but no, that's a transitive property dot that can't be connected because it means you gotta unclench and let a woman live. To wit: I was sent a post yesterday from one of the biggest lady-haters, saying something something about how Harry's going to have this super domestic album and THEY are taking l*arry's love and putting Olivia in Louis’s place! Outrageous! (Plus a string of tags foaming at the mouth about how awful Olivia is, don't worry, the replies/tags are even bigger yikes.) And it's like, well, YEAH. You should actually find that pretty awesome, in fact, it probably means your faves are still together--I mean, Fine Line has loads of major break-up vibes (in amongst self-discovery and acceptance), and Harry very publicly had a breakup with Louis's proxy on that one. Rob Sheffield's article promoting Fine Line basically promotes that break-up and ends on a real fucking OUCH moment where Harry and Anne are watching Fleetwood Mac singing Landslide, and he's mc-fuckin' losin' it, Anne's there comforting him, and if you're thinking that that moment is about Camille Rowe, uh, you ain't me, babe. (Clapback too for Rob being the one to write the iconic Louis is Lindsey, Harry is Stevie piece). Again, just my own onion, I tend to be okay holding more than one string in my hand (these two CAN break up and get back together, don't even get me started on babygate brainrot talk).

But I think my biggest issue with all of it is that for a lot of l*rries, you gotta be gold star or you're out (literally true in so many groupchats and discords): they've each only fucked one person, they've never broken up, never had a major fight, it's never been messy, never been open, listen, you bitch, they fought against the odds, and they won! And I don't doubt that they did, but this isn't AO3, so I also don't doubt that they might've fucked other people, broken up and gotten back together again, had some real messy stuff, most likely around being in an open relationship for a spell and dealing with unspeakable personal tragedy, in amongst regular human growth and discovery. That doesn't make them bad people, it doesn't mean they aren't back together (and it doesn't even mean I'm right, I'm just a rando who has my own opinions about people I don't personally know, just like everyone else), but there's this fandom naivety about it, big-time fingers in ears la-la-la-la, where you're a bad person for even thinking it, so any cognitive dissonance just gets transferred to the woman involved, woman = bad (I'm simplifying, maybe it's bigger than that, but it's interesting to see how some blogs can't fucking shut about it, whereas others go about their biz--blogs in larr nation, I mean). And that's totally baby behavior, well, toddler behavior. I think a lot of babies can actually go with the flow, it's toddlers who melt down if someone moves their blankie.

Anyway, I'm wandering away from my point, which is that bearding isn't a fucking crime, especially if you claim to support your fave (or for that matter, anyone in the closet--it's what it's, as Louis's chest so wisely tells us). Your guy doesn't want to be or can't be out right now, and that's fine! Makes sense! Makes a lot of fucking sense, actually, these fans are invasive, bro! I just wish that if people were so worried about the state of the larry union, they'd maybe chill out a bit about the women involved. Maybe stop being an asshole. Maybe stop giving women asinine names because you think it's cute. Maybe stop complaining that someone's a narse because they're always "flaunting" [checks notes] that they're dating the person everyone says they're dating, or thirsting or chasing clout or whatever it is that Olivia does that is so god-awful to you on a personal level that you spend your day focused on it. (My fave: people who say she's forcing her latest ig story on them, when they're the ones following her, pausin' that little story, takin' that little screenshot, adding arrows and circles and text that manages to trash her for botox [but not Harry], trash her for dancing as if she isn't aware that everyone's watching [but not Harry], then reblogging all that garbage nonstop--it ain't rocket science, bb, she's not the one putting it anyone's face, you're literally the one following her and doing all this work! Unfollow, and set yourself free!)

Ahem. Anyway, yeah, so that's me, wondering why people spend so much time hating on people who are literally giving you the proof that you seem to need, but shirts work, too, I guess! Harder to hate a shirt, or project your self-hatred onto it, maybe? Makes u think.

I really miss the days where people could ship who they want with out some randos loosing their shit. There was a person who shipped shinobu with douma and people flipped and where like "why he's a psycho?" Like there's a reason why people like Harley Quinn and joker. Toxic ships are hot. As long as they aren't real. Like Johnny deep and amber heard.

I feel like people are doing this because there's so much going on in the world so they look for immediate scapegoats to quell their anger. Like yeah I can't stop racism, but I can get my friends to yell at this random internet person and start a hashtag. 🙄

This is kinda touching on the subject I had with that one anon the other day, so please let me continue.

People say ships ruin fandoms, and they are both wrong and right. Frankly, shipping two characters together is only a problem since it “bothers” people and nothing else. Granted, as long as it’s legal (like not an 8 year old with someone in their 20s), then what’s the issue? However, it’s when the “shipping wars” come around that people bring hate towards the fandom.

I was around when the ARMYs and EXOLs were at each other’s throats for the longest time, and it brought shame upon the kpop fandom. Instead of respecting each other and enjoying the music, there was constant arguing.

Shipping works the same way. I, for one, ship characters. Why? Because the dynamics are interesting, there’s good stories, and there’s incredible art. Am I going to proclaim hate towards whoever because two characters don’t end being canon? No. I’m here to enjoy the fandom, not spread hate.

Another problem with this is the minors issue. Yes, some of the ships I have include minors; does that mean I want to see two 15 year olds fuck? What are you, stupid? No, they’re going to be aged up if I wanna see/read it. It’s fiction, darlings. And yes, I understand that pedophilia can stem from fiction, but there people out there who are consciously making the effort to have some people the proper age. Others don’t, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Let’s look at Pinterest, for example. There is a dark side of it filled to the brim with NSFW images, and there are hateful/disgusted comments on those images. Interestingly enough, you have to dig through content to get to the naughty stuff, so what does this say about the commentor? Or what about those leaving mean words on Twitter art or Yagami Yato edits? As far as I’ve seen, both the art and those edits have age restrictions (and they clearly say 18+ or whatever), so what are they trying to accomplish?

It’s interesting to think about people using this type of content as a scapegoat. Ironic how it’s directed towards fiction, no? Are we not going to discuss the stuff that can be found on Pornhub? Pseudo-incest? Teacher/student relationships? That one episode of Riverdale where Betty (written as a 16 year old female at the time) strip teased/pole danced in front a crowd of grown ass adults? No? Just towards drawings? Seems pretty sketchy.

I’m aware I may be going on a limb here, but it’s almost as if the commentators are “fulfilling their moral duties” but being rude. Again, they can certainly click away; this is the INTERNET we’re talking about. Hate to break it to you, but this is almost a lawless zone. Things vary from country to country, and a lot of people forget about that. If I recall correctly, the age of consent in Japan is 16 or something? Either way, there are djs of high school students and it makes sense regarding who the artist is. Call me out for being gross or whatever, but you know I have a point. People in the United States are having sex while in junior high. Hell, I remember when I was in the 9th grade that a girl my age lost her virginity to her older boyfriend and was bragging about it.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that people are trying to “justify” themselves or whatever. No one is 100% innocent, and you’d be lying through your teeth if you denied it. Let others ship who they want. What are you gonna do, anyway? Cyberbully them? What are you, 12? There is literally a glodal pandemic going on, and my country is basically on the brink of another civil war. I think there’s more important things to focus on.

Anyway, thank you for tuning into my TEDtalk 🙇‍♀️

"Keiji, it's getting dark. Why not come inside for the night?"

The sun was just over the horizon, the moon coming up to replace it. It's bright—the orange and pink colors. The image is burned into young Akaashi's memory when he looks over. He waves at his mother with a nod before passing the volleyball back to his friends and running over. The scrapes on his palm sting and the bruises on his legs hurt a little, but he doesn't mind the sensation. It feels like freedom—even if he doesn't really understand the full meaning of the moon. This is what he imagines it feels like.

Games to be played with friends and laughter. If this is what life holds then he is more than willing to live it. His naivety holds firm when he grabs his mother hand at the door, being pulled into a brisk hug. She laughs and pats his hair and he thinks it's the kindest gesture in the world. He snuggles closer before pulling away to see dinner on the table. His mother locks up, looking quietly into the city with concerned eyes. She wasn't going to let anyone hurt him, the smile that she cherishes wasn't going to fade as long as she could help it. She turns with a smile, passing him a plastic fork before listening to the adventures Akaashi had gone on that day.

Childhood seems so far now.

———

If you were to tell Akaashi's five year old self that seventeen years later everything he thought about freedom and life was a lie and he would become a detective who took away other's freedom, he'd probably laugh and then cry and cry some more. If you were to tell him that his mother would die so he'd have to be raised by his aunt at the age of thirteen, he'd probably punch you in face in attempt to break your nose—and if you then told him that's the reason he became a detective and went through five grueling years of internships and having to learn how to stomach crime scenes in the first place, he'd make sure to add a swift kick to the shin with it. Even at twenty, if someone—anyone—would have told him that he'd never get sleep again because of the things he'd see day to day, eventually becoming desensitized, but still having nightmares that kept him up all hours of the night—well, he'd probably just brush it off because he thought he'd be different.

News flash: he's not different.

In attempt to rub sleep from his eyes (ironic considering he got maybe an hour), Akaashi yawns, triggering a chain reaction from his assistant. The city is bustling with talk of the latest murder—a social media personality. Twitter is blowing up with the hashtags 'rip' and 'always & forever.' Yet, hardly any of the people tweeting and saying things like: 'always in our hearts, never forget,' didn't know her personally. They knew the internet version of her, the side she showed to the world and not the side she was personally. To the world she is known as an idol—a hero to some.

But everyone has their dark secrets.

The car stops along the house's pavement, the driveway a large circle with a statue in the middle. His first thought is someone was in it for the money, maybe a robbery gone wrong. Stepping out the car, he snaps on some gloves and looks around before being handle the case file from an officer on duty, being caught up to speed.

The house is pristine except for the blood that has dried up on the tiled floor. It's a stark contrast from all the white and gold. Minimalist; he notes. Akaashi skims the file before looking at the body and watching it get zipped up into a black bag before being carried away. All that's left is half an outline and some splatter across the floor.

He pinches the bridge of his nose. Just what he needs—more nightmare fuel. But a job is a job no matter how tired he is.

"Alright, let's start at the entrances. Check the windows and doors."

———

Red. Why is there so much red? Whose breathing is that? And why is it so loud?

Your eyes finally focus on the hand outstretched in front of you, widening at the sight. A silent scream escapes past your lips and shakes your body, making you stumble backwards. The shaking hand blocks the view, forcing your eyes away from the scene. The thumping of your heart and blood in your eyes is so deafening that it makes you lightheaded. You felt sick. You were going to vomit, pushing down a gag and covering your mouth.

You look at your hands, willing them to stop shaking in tight fists before looking at the body below you. Blonde hair dyed red from the puddle. A sob wracks through you.

Heaving a heavy breath you weren't aware you were holding and gripping your phone tightly, you dial the police. Your voice shakes when speaking:

"H-help, please. She's dead! "

———

Akaashi rubs at his temple in attempt to soothe an oncoming headache, the dim yellow light at his desk straining his eyes. He looks at the file, nibbling on his lip in irritation. The pictures of the scene and the overall file and personal file just swarms his head with mixed up information and he honestly isn't sure where to start. With a soft sigh he leans back into his seat, crossing his arms over his chest.

The case is gruesome, a red massacre. Victim was stabbed six times in the abdominal, close to gutted even, but the blunt truama to her head shows she was dead before hitting floor. The door hadn't been broken in, the wood and hinges still in place like they hadn't been shaken—perhaps she let them in. The window had been forced open from the inside, the paint that previously sealed it being chipped aggressively against the pane. It could've been some loopy stalker, but the more he looks at the case it's less likely.

His head hurts and he can't focus and it's getting late.

He begins to nipple of his thumb nail, bringing it up to his lips in deep thought. The red strings in his brain trying to connect the dots sooner than it's actually possible. He's smart, but not that smart. His eyes slowly shift to the post-it note beside the biege file, a number scribbled down messily. They had sent you home with an officer to calm down from the shock. It had been about two days now as they waited for the autopsies and inspected, but time was running short and he needed your statement before the case runs cold and slips through his fingers. He'd have to interrogate you, ask you to speak on behalf of your friend. It seems you would know the most about her and her true identity as her emergency contact. Maybe‐ hopefully, you'd help provide answers.

But he hates this part. The part where he has to call traumatized homicide victims and witnesses. He doesn't do well at comforting people, especially when he's the type to cut straight to the point. He doesn't know how to stop someone from crying (because someone always does) and he can never stop himself from saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. He's blunt and yet, he's like a double edged sword. And he knows what they feel because he's been there and he sees it every day, even if he wasn't involved directly. If it haunts him at night, then it must taunt them all day. It's a hard push to get over, and even then the wounds never really heal. Suppose that's why Akaashi keeps pushing to solve cases, even cold ones, because he knows how it feels to be hopeless with a dark mentality. Nothing else matters until the killer is at the mercy of law.

He goes back to gnawing on his abused bottom lip, leaning forward to grab the black office phone before dialing the number. He lets it ring, twice before he hears the line click and a soft, weak 'hello?' He clears his throat, picking up his pen to write down anything he may need. This isn't his first rodeo, afterall.

"Hello, is this l/n y/n? Yes, this is the detective on case. Would you mind coming in to answer a few questions about your friend, Michiko?"
