5 Social Media Marketing Tips
Tumblr media
#1: Analyze Past Content to Improve Posts 
Most organizations dissect the viability of their online media after they distribute it. Presently, there are instruments accessible to examine information for content curation before you post. 
Here's how to utilize BuzzSumo to use the information of what has effectively been fruitful as far as friendly sharing. 
To start with, enter a watchword that is important for your online media content technique. BuzzSumo will furnish you with a rundown of the top-performing content as far as friendly offers as per your watchword. 
Then, since some substance performs preferable on certain organizations over others, you would curate be able to content by the informal community. Furnished with this information, you can expand the viability of your substance curation by distributing content that has a more prominent possibility of accomplishment on a particular organization. 
You can likewise channel content by type (which is ideal in case you're searching for recordings or infographics to clergyman) or channel by time-frame. The last allows you to discover content that has been generally mainstream over the most recent 24 hours or evergreen substance that has been famous in the course of the most recent year. The decision is yours!

#2: Optimize Visual Content with Links 
The visual substance can go about as a "door" to the more important substance. When arranging visual substance to post on friendly stages, think as far as how it can drive traffic back to your site, items, and administrations. 
For instance, in this SlideShare deck, Constant Contact incorporated a connection back to an asset page posting different blog entries with related substance. 
Connection a short video back to your site from your YouTube Account or your Instagram profile connection and ensure you give extended substance around the video. For instance, Final Cut King drives his fans on Instagram back to longer substance on his YouTube channel by requesting them to tap the connection in the depiction from his Instagram account. 
What are you hanging tight for? Think about making entryways to a more significant substance when you plan your visuals! 
#3: Maximize Twitter Real Estate With Images 
"Overall, around 6,000 tweets are tweeted on Twitter (imagine them here on Internet Stats live), which relates to more than 350,000 tweets sent each moment, 500 million tweets each day, and around 200 billion tweets each year." 
Making the most ideal tweet has never been more significant. Adding visual appeal to your tweet is an exceptionally brilliant approach to get your most significant substance taken note of. 
You can amount to four pictures for each tweet or one incredible picture on the off chance that you need. The decision is yours! To add different pictures, utilize ordinary Twitter. This isn't accessible on any of the outsider locales. Here's an illustration of a tweet with various pictures on Twitter. 
Have you taken a stab at tweeting with four pictures? It's quite cool! #TwitterTips pic.twitter.com/nahiyean 
You must read this article about how to make money using Facebook.
#4: Switch Up Content Formats 
In recent years, I've moved to adjust composed substance for various stages, as YouTube, to build my scope and permeability. 
For instance, by transforming one of my List25 articles into a video consistently, I've become the YouTube channel to 1.3 million supporters and amassed more than 200 million video sees. A comparable strategy with WPBeginner articles has developed supporters of more than 8,000, and the channel has expanded deals for my WordPress modules. 
Changing substance designs doesn't need to include just recordings. You can likewise change over scraps from your current articles into pictures—which will in general have better reach on Facebook. These pictures permit you to use the force of interpersonal organizations like Pinterest and Instagram. 
Have you expounded a ton on one explicit theme on your blog? Why not consolidate those articles into a digital book and use it to fabricate your email list? 
If you're not changing substance arrangements to improve your general reach, you're not amplifying the maximum capacity of your substance. 
#5: Create a Social Media Channel Plan 
Such countless associations feel overpowered by the need to make content for each online media channel on the planet. Or on the other hand more awful yet, numerous brands make one kind of substance and afterward impact that content onto each friendly stage. If that is you, you need an online media channel plan. 
Doubtlessly, your objectives are distinctive on every friendly stage. Since that is the situation, the substance you produce for that stage should be diverse too. Here are the parts for your channel plan. 
The Channel (For instance, Facebook.) 
The Persona (Who are you explicitly focusing on? Kindly pick one.) 
The Goal (Is it a business objective, cost-reserve funds objective, or would you say you are attempting to make a superior client experience?) 
Essential Content-Type (Textual, video, infographics?) 
Design (What does an overall post resemble?) 
Tone (Playful, snide?) 
Channel Integration (How will this channel work with your different channels for the most extreme effect?) 
Wanted Action (What client conduct would you like to accomplish?) 
Article Plan (Every channel needs its publication schedule.) 
Also, this is actually why substance showcasing isn't simple. However, if you influence a web-based media channel plan effectively, you'll have the option to twofold down on the channels that work for you and be reasonable with your assets on different channels.

[ENGTRANS] Jessica interview with Grazia Korea 10.2018
Tumblr media
G: Grazia  J: Jessica 
G: You were overseas till a few days ago. From Canada to Seoul, and now you're in LA. How do you pass your time lately? 
J: I've been very busy lately. (Laughs) I visited many places while abroad, and I'm also trying to create more opportunities to meet my fans. 
G: It seems your time spent in Seoul is getting shorter. 
J: In a month, my time spent in Seoul won't exceed 2 weeks. When I'm back, it's like I'm ready to leave again the moment I put down my luggages. Even so, Korea is still my home, because my parents and sister are there. 
Tumblr media
G: Looking back to now, you're not only a singer, but also the creative director of an up-and-coming fashion brand to be reckoned with globally. How do you benchmark yourself? 
J: My agency profiles me as a 'multifaceted artiste'. It's becoming increasingly common to have multiple careers. From being singers and actors, to participating in musicals or any other careers. Pursuing multiple fields and careers is something interesting to me. Singer Jessica is doing well, being able to put my thoughts into action is fascinating. 
G: What inspires you to continuously create new content? 
J: It's a blessing to be able to travel to so many places for work, and this inspires me. Travelling back and forth like this allows me to meet my fans as well. I feel the urge to give back whenever I feel the energy and support from my fans. 
Tumblr media
G: Does this mean you spend a lot of time in the air? How do you pass time? 
J: I drink a lot of hot lemon water on flights, and also apply a calming essential oil behind my ears to aid my sleep. I always do an essential oil infused 'half-bath' (hanshin yoku) once I reach the hotel to relax my muscles. This is how I stay in sync with my surroundings, like "oh, this is LA, it's a new start". 
G: How about your rest days when you have no schedules? 
J: I'm busy practising self-care on days without schedules. From hair color and treatment, to mani-pedicure. The discipline of self-restoration will fill all my free time, which also includes workout routines like pilates. Visits to the doctor's for supplements will take up almost a whole day. There are also frequent times when meetings with the Blanc & Eclare team go on till the wee hours of the night. 
Tumblr media
G: I'm sure there are times you do absolutely nothing? 
J: Whenever I have a few free days in Korea, that is when I feel rested. To me, it's not truly rest unless it's home. I have a concert in Taiwan this October, but my schedule is packed before that. I may be able to take a breather after the concert but nothing is certain because my schedule is still being arranged till now (laughs). 
G: If you continue to work like this, you will definitely feel exhausted, and experience 'burnout'. Do you sometimes feel life is tough? 
J: The good thing about me is that I'm very focused and also very flexible. Of course, I'm surrounded by people whom I'm thankful for. They stayed beside me, gave me support so I wouldn't feel exhausted and am able to complete a day's work with ease. I'm surrounded by many capable staff, and I'm very thankful. 
Tumblr media
G: Do you find it fitting to be both a singer and creative director now? 
J: It's fascinating. Regardless of what my career choice was, it has always been my dream to work in the fashion industry. Working with people who share the same interests, putting out products just as I imagined without modifications, and then people buying and using my products, makes me very happy. Since this is 100% my product, the feeling I have is indescribable, nothing else compares. 
G: Having debuted at a young age, have you ever thought about how 30 year old Jessica would be like? 
J: Because life was simply too hectic during my younger days, so I look forward to a carefree life now. As for what kind of person I wanna become, I just wanna be spontaneous and cool. My definition of cool would be someone who enjoys whatever he/she does, and is able to derive happiness from it. 
Tumblr media
G: That sounds like the current you. Have your dreams come true already? 
J: That's right (laughs). What I'm thankful for is how I've been steadily moving towards my goal since young, and successfully reached where I am today. 
G: Were there no major setbacks? 
J: I guess things were fairly smooth-sailing for me. 
G: As the saying goes 'life is never smooth-sailing', have you ever felt frustrated? 
J: I'm not the type to get frustrated over things. In other words, I will accept whatever life throws at me. Under such circumstances, we should just sort things out and change our course of action. Moreover, I'm not the type to regret or feel sorry for myself over things that is out of my control. Everybody has low periods in life, and that happened to me too. Whenever that happens to me, I will face reality and forge a new path. I don't wish to bear unnecessary stress. 
Tumblr media
G: How will you picture yourself 10 years from now? 
J: I should have a happy family by then? (Laughs) Since I would have been at that age. It's great that my life is moving along the way I imagined. I once thought to myself that I was gonna open a store in NYC if I ever work in the fashion industry. I didn't manage to list NYC as one of the locations when I first launched my brand, but my dream still came true in the end. Accomplishing my dreams make it extra meaningful. 
G: You once said you will try your best to portray your true self in interviews, is there any special reason? 
J: I'm actually very shy. But as my overseas activities increase, I gradually start to think I should open up more to show the various sides of Jessica. Being on my own now, I've managed to find a comfortable balance with everyone. 
Tumblr media
G: Circumstances make a man. Seems like you are at a good place now? 
J: Regardless of what place I'm at, I don't ever wanna hear my manager say things like "I don't wanna hear what you have to say and I don't care what you think". Cultural differences exist, and we can interact with people via so many social media platforms nowadays. Since I've opened up more, I can interact with everyone more closely now. 
G: Following your current emotional state, what has changed? 
J: I feel more at ease now. I used to feel awkward when people initiate conversations because I didn't know what to say, and what should be said, so I feel burdened. But I'm at a good place now, so I feel great. 
Tumblr media
G: What kind of person is Jessica to you? 
J: I'm extremely straightforward and frank, even to people whom I have connections with. It's more convenient to work like this. 
G: What kind of person do you want to become? 
J: I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. Even though I haven't learnt to let everything go, I'm slowly getting there. I try my best at whatever I do. Everyone tells me I am where I am today because of my hard work. Nowadays I'm beginning to delegate tasks to my staff, so it's getting easier for everybody now (laughs). 
Tumblr media
G: You look prettier these days, what's your secret? 
J: Focus on my health. I fell sick for a few days after returning to Korea a while back, it was so bad that I couldn't leave my house for those few days. I felt the time was wasted with nothing accomplished, and I could only spend less than a week in Korea! So I did a full body checkup to find out what my body lacks, and have started managing my health. I also take vitamins and reduce my intake of flour-based foods. I'm trying hard to improve my eating habits. 
G: It's a popular topic these days, happiness or health? 
J: I have always wanted to lead a happy life since young, but I'm already very happy now. So I need to stay healthy to enjoy this happiness longer (laughs). 
Tumblr media
G: It's only 2 months to the end of the year, how do you intend to spend the rest of the year? 
J: I'm earnestly preparing for my concert. Thereafter I intend to take a break till the end of the year. I'm also considering if I should release an album next year. 
G: So will we be able to see Jessica the singer next year? 
J: Once I feel that I am ready, I will release that album. An album clearly distinguishes an artiste. My album will have to showcase a sound unique to me, so it requires more effort. 
G: Last question. Any other things you wanna challenge yourself to? 
J: I'm more into clothes worn for vacations these days, like swimsuits. I also intend to expand a variety of different garments. I will mostly focus in the fashion in the near future.

So I know you have gotten a lot of Choni requests, so feel free to take your time with this one, I just wanted to request these before they were taken. 34, 40, And 100, with Choni, and Veronica shipping them because I always find that fun. So again, take your time, and just have fun writing this. If you don’t have fun, don’t write. I won’t mind.
Thank you for the prompt! I clearly mis-recorded this, because I had it written down as a Cheryl x Veronica prompt, minus the Toni element. I hope that works for you too because I’ve already written it lol And I really liked this one, so I’d rather just toss it out there into the world than start from scratch. Enjoy!
34. “These stars are nothing compared to theones I’ve seen in your eyes.”
AND
40. “Have I ever lied to you?”
AND
100. “Iadore you.”
Cheryl was lying on her back on the ground and thinking about the rat in Charlotte’s Web. Well, not exactly theground, but a thick plaid blanket, and not exactly the rat, but the idea ofsomeone who could help you figure out exactly the right thing to say. Neitherof these behaviours were typical of her, but she was too preoccupied to bebothered.
She was thinking of Veronica―beautiful, loyal, self-possessed Veronica―whowas lying with her arm inches from Cheryl’s own. She’d invited her over―this girl,this classmate, this ex-girlfriend of the last boy Cheryl ever planned tokiss―on the offer of a great un-light-polluted view of tonight’s meteor showerfrom the back lawn of Thistle House. A mere premise.
Staring ever upward, Cheryl pictured the stars aligning to spell out ‘Iadore you.’ Decidedly more glamorous and majestic than a dew-coated spider’sweb, with an otherworldliness compared to which other desperate attempts togain a potential partner’s attention embedded in the romantic ethos (flashmobs, promposals, even skywriting, the bastard cousin of what Cheryl wascurrently imagining) fell pathetically short.
Alas, the small maple fortune this surviving Blossom twin had inherited fromher murderous pater would be woefully insufficient to hire out a rearranging ofcelestial bodies, had the technology to do so existed. Cheryl sighed deeply.
“You’re not falling asleep, are you?” Veronica had turned her head to lookcarefully at Cheryl, searching for, Cheryl assumed, signs of fatigue.
“Of course not,” she protested. “Just conserving energy. How are you holdingup?” Cheryl snuck a sideways glance at her crush beneath her eyelashes. Her roundface was lovely in profile.
“Oh fine,” Veronica lightly assured her, reaching above her head for theopen bag of licorice that laid among the assortment of junky snacks Cheryl hadbought specifically for the occasion. Sleepover food.
“And yet the need for a sugar boost,” Cheryl observed with a smirk, rollingher shoulders slightly to improve her comfort.
“I’m awake. Don’t worry about me.” There was the soft noise of movementacross the blanket. Cheryl noticed Veronica had rolled her knees to the side,towards Cheryl, though her eyes still looked heavenward.
“Ok,” she responded serenely, watching the pale gleam of the night sky onher friend’s face.
“What’s the time now?”
Cheryl pulled out her phone to check.
“12: 26. Not long until the main event.” She eyed the telescope they had atthe ready, the best a non-professional-astronomer could buy.
“You say that…” Veronica began, lifting a loose arm as if to swathe theuniverse, “…but that is somagnificent all on its own.”
Humming happily, Cheryl tilted her head.
“Hmm yeah,” she agreed. “Like diamonds. Although, if we could see themcloser, just glowing with energy, they’d probably look more like pearls.”
Thoughtlessly, Cheryl shifted onto her side and reached out to touch thenecklace puddled in the notch of Veronica’s throat. She drew her hand backbefore the wish to stroke Veronica’s skin overtook her.
“Are you sure about that?” her dark-haired friend skeptically inquired.
Cheryl propped herself up on an elbow.
“Have I ever lied to you?”
Veronica darted a glance at her.
“Probably.” She laughed and Cheryl relaxed a little. “You’re not the easiestperson to read.”
“You want to know something else about the sky?” Cheryl prodded.
“Absolutely. Educate me, Cheryl.” Veronica turned the rest of her body toface Cheryl, wedging folded hands under her cheek. Those eyes were their ownphenomenon, Cheryl thought, drawing her in as effectively as a black hole.
“These stars,” Cheryl informed her in a voice that was quiet but steady, “arenothing compared to the ones I’ve seen in your eyes.”
Veronica began to smile like Cheryl had just told a joke, then stopped. Hurriedly,she sat up and Cheryl scrambled to do the same, completely terrified.
“Veronica…”
She reached for the girl’s hand, certain it would be pulled away before shecould ever make contact, but it wasn’t. Veronica sat still as Cheryl’s heartpounded and the universe expanded all around them.
“I’ve been really alone, Cheryl,” she confessed at a whisper. “Since Archieretreated from my mess of a family. I didn’t have that option.”
“I know.” Cheryl frowned sympathetically, watching the way Veronica seemedto stare straight off into the trees that lined the far end of the property.
Blinking, that dark-featured face turned towards her.
“You know?”
“Some things you can see without a telescope.”
Before she could think of another thing, Veronica was moving around to faceher, making their knees touch as they sat. Cheryl’s lips parted as her brainshuffled and fanned possible ways to continue the conversation thatwouldn’t make Veronica feel pathetic or like Cheryl was some kind of stalker,but she didn’t need any of them. Veronica gradually leaned forward, gentlytouched Cheryl’s cheek, and kissed her.
As Veronica dropped her hand and drew back, Cheryl caught it and felt herfingers trembling.
“I think,” Veronica said, gaze sliding from one of Cheryl’s eyes to theother, “maybe I need you. Maybe I’ve beenneeding you for a long time.”
“I’m here,” Cheryl promised, holding tightly to her hand.
High above, meteors streaked the sky with brilliant lines of light that theycould briefly see, never touch, but always allow to remind them of the distanceobjects could come to create something spectacular.
TWO PROMPTS LEFT, YO. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Mond Twins Profile
((With me recently starting to make “masterlists” for profiles and headcanons for my OCs like Satsuki, Mineko, and Quinn, I decided to add my Kuroshitsuji OCs, Thomas and Katherine Mond, to that list (of lists). They were originally created for roleplaying on here (the original account being @bittersweetdragees), but my muse for RPing and elaborate storytelling over small headcanon musings and blurbs hasn’t been with me lately. That, and I originally created with the twins with the idea of RPing in mind, so while they have a general backstory and personalities, they felt very disjointed from the Kuro world because I left their relationship with canon characters up to interpretation via RPing for the longest time. So I’ve taken the self-indulgent route and rewrote their profiles a little to start fitting them into one of my favorite series more comfortably. That’s not to say I won’t return to RPing, but in the meantime I can have my fun.
With that being said, there are manga spoilers in their profile up to the most recent chapter(s). I’ll keep their entire profile under a Read More just because it’s long as hell, but this is also the only warning you get if you don’t want to be spoiled for the story. This is also going to just be their backstory post and not their actual masterlist for things like headcanons and such, but this will be linked in their masterlist.
Last Updated: 2/15/2021 -- added Carrolton’s gambling background as well as his tutelage of Katherine in the art of gambling; added commissioned reference pictures))
BASIC INFO
FULL NAME(S): Thomas Alphons Mond / Katherine Alizee Mond
RACE: human; British Caucasian (German (paternal) and French (maternal) ancestry)
AGE: 18 (November 21; Scorpio)
GENDER: male / female
EYES: green
HAIR: burnt orange
APPEARANCE
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
((art by Amber Jin))
Thomas is a young lad of standard build (6'2"; 158 lbs) and a lean, strong body. He has long, dark orange hair. He has narrow, but kind eyes that are a deep green color. He wears glasses due to farsightedness.
Katherine is a young lady of standard build (5'6", 137 Ibs) with an hourglass shape. She has long, dark orange hair. She has gentle, but mature eyes in a shade of vibrant green. She wears glasses due to nearsightedness.
HOBBIES
Currently enrolled at Weston College in the Green Lion dorm, Thomas is proficient in physical activities such as sports and martial arts. His strong points include archery, wrestling, and quarter-staff fencing, and, to a lesser extent, track and field. He is an average player when it comes to more sport-like activities (instead of combat sports or sports using weaponry), but below average when compared to the whole of the Green Lion dorm. Outside of sports and martial arts, he enjoys practicing his handwriting, eating, jewelry making, and practicing the flute.
Working with her mother at the family’s bakery and cake shop, Katherine’s hobbies mostly revolve around cooking pastries. She has been noted as a prodigy in sugar and candy sculptures, and has become an expert at the craft after two years of working. Her main interests outside of work is shopping, ballet, attending parties, and playing the violin. Though not a hobby per say, Katherine often practices knife throwing to be used in combat should she find herself in danger, and receives fencing lessons from both a private tutor and Francis Midford. In her spare time, Katherine was taught by their uncle, Jim Carrolton, about human behavioral patterns and his extensive knowledge of gambling, leading to her to be a master gambler albeit under an alias.
Both twins enjoy being together when they can, and often indulge in each others' hobbies when applicable. Katherine goes along with Thomas on hunting expeditions, and "practices" with him in archery and staff fencing, but her horrible shortcomings in these sports and Thomas's desire to help her improve often lead to him further understanding the intricacies of the sport and therefore improving himself. Likewise, Thomas enjoys helping Katherine at the bakeshop their family owns, though his tendency to eat ingredients and product over baking makes him more of a hindrance than an asset, and Katherine finds it less stressful as "hobby swapping" goes to let him accompany her on shopping trips so he can carry her purchases.
PERSONALITIES
Both of the twins are extremely similar in terms of not only appearance, but also in personality. They are generally soft-spoken, kind people with a regal air about them that makes them intimidating at first sight, but very approachable once one gets to know them. They are better at listening than talking due to their trained instinct to gather information over sharing it, and most people don't realize this and simply assume the twins are shy or just naturally submissive. In reality, the two are naturally manipulative, bending their personalities and quirks to please the company they're in to improve their reputations in the community. They'd never take advantage of someone who's put their trust in them unless it was their intent from the very start, but their jaded idea of the world have caused them to view socializing as more of a game to win at instead of an enjoyable experience. The majority of people never catch onto this internal thinking, but those who're really familiar with the twins know better than to believe everything they say, and even their own parents have a hard time trusting their children at some moments. However, despite their separated feeling from the rest of the world, they're very genuine in their feelings towards people they do care about.
In their hearts, Thomas and Katherine believe that they are one in the same or two halves of the same being. They have some of their own opinions and beliefs, but ultimately have trouble with coming to terms of being separated from one another. They can cope with being separated physically, as they had to become accustom to it once Thomas enrolled in Weston, but the thought of truly losing each other fills them with a sense of dread and anxiety, sometimes just the idea of it driving them to nightmares. It's for this reason why they're not focused on finding future spouses, as well as they don't regard most potential suitors with much respect.
Since they don't take courting seriously, the two have developed very flirtatious personalities over the course of the years. From sultry gazes to flattery to pecks on the hand and cheek to pulling their current object of affection away from a crowd for some more "personal" time together, the twins have mastered the art of getting their way with candied words and soft affections among their peers. Thomas, having already had experience, has no trouble taking his flings to a sexual level, but Katherine keeps her own trysts mostly innocent and never goes beyond heavy petting and make out sessions.
HISTORY
The Mond twins were born during a great snowstorm on the eve of the 21st of November. Their parents often relay the story of Barbra having contractions for several hours during a flurry when it started to hail hard enough to crack several windows of their manor between the time Thomas started his second stage of labor and when he was born, and had descended to a gentle snowfall by the time Katherine was born minutes later. It was a wholesome anecdote to most people who heard it, but Richard and Barbra often use this tale as an example of how they were "destined" to live, with Thomas being the cold warrior under the Queen's service while Katherine was the delicate lady to represent the Monds' nobility. The parents use the phrase "frigid as ice, soft as snow" to try and coerce the twins into carrying out their duties if they feel their children are straying from their paths. The twins twisted this phrase to their own use when they're alone, saying "frigid as ice, soft as snow; together are we, under starlit glow" to each other, speaking in few words that even though they are destined to live very different lives that they are still siblings and twins and believe they are, at their core, one in the same and will always have each other even if the world betrays them.
Richard, being a judge hand-picked by the Queen to handle certain legal intricacies of the Underground, was very familiar with the shady structures and dealings that kept England in power over the years, and made allies and enemies alike because of this position. One such ally was Vincent Phantomhive and his family. By the time the Phantomhive twins were born, the Mond twins were four years old, and the age gap was small enough that the two sets of siblings became longstanding friends with each other through frequent play dates. Thomas got along well with the elder Phantomhive twin, Ciel (R!Ciel), because of their more active personalities, while Katherine sympathized with his younger, frailer brother (O!Ciel). As time passed, O!Ciel slowly became enamoured with Katherine as she was the only girl, other than Elizabeth, he was close to. While Elizabeth was engaged to R!Ciel as was arranged to uphold the Phantomhive legacy, once Vincent and Rachel noticed O!Ciel's feelings for Katherine beginning to blossom, Vincent talked with Richard about betrothing the two to one another. This was partially out of concern for O!Ciel's shyness and sickliness possibly interfering with him finding a wife in the future, but also out of convenience as the Mond family was well-acquainted with the Underground and would save the need for either explanation or deception for another fiancee. Richard agreed with the latter, but primarily agreed to the proposal as Katherine marrying into the Phantomhives would be a step up in their family's status among English nobility. Katherine had apprehensions about this due to O!Ciel being (in her mind) considerably younger than her, but quickly changed her mind when Barbra convinced her that O!Ciel would thrive under the love and care of a fiancée like her. Since then, she became exceptionally affectionate and doting towards O!Ciel up until the day the Phantomhive manor was attacked and the twins disappeared. Thomas was less than thrilled at Katherine getting betrothed at such a young age, especially since he knew it was ultimately a "marriage of convenience" for their parents, but he stifled his objections since he knew at the very least that he trusted and cared about the Phantomhive twins and wasn't worried about O!Ciel mistreating her.
As the twins grew, the plans their parents had in mind for them came into fruition early in their lives. Thomas began to be trained in combat sports and techniques early in his life, and was gradually exposed to the tasks his father was responsible for in working for the Queen while Katherine was groomed to be the ideal English Lady for her future Phantomhive husband. As the firstborn and only son, Thomas was expected to follow in Richard's footsteps in serving the Queen, either directly or indirectly; the older Mond has more or less accepted this fate, though to say he fully embraces it is debatable.
Like all the men from his lineage, Thomas entered Weston College when he was 13. He was admitted into the Green Lion dorm for his proficiency in physical activities. While his strengths are in sports that can be translated into combat (archery, wrestling, quarter-staff fencing), he was and still is often reprimanded for his lax attitude in sports like cricket, which he considers less engaging and sees as mere games than anything he should strive to be better at. During his second year at Weston, he walked in on his senior kissing another student and, while surprised and confused at first, has come to grow comfortable with homosexuality over the years. Once his senior graduated, he has not become anyone else’s fag or taken on a fag of his own. Between years 14-16, Thomas was an incredibly violent individual in school and got into brutal fights with his fellow students, even his own dorm mates because of misdirected rage and frustration towards his responsibilities at home. While this earned him plenty of punishment at the time, his ruthless behavior and tendency to seriously injure the other students established a strong dominance among those in his years, and students who know his name tend to know not to anger him, even though he’s mellowed out with time.
While her brother trained under their father’s tutelage, Katherine looked to their mother for direction. Barbra began introducing her to hobbies such as ballet and playing the violin, and when she expressed interest in one of her mother’s favorite hobbies, baking, she joined her in the kitchen on a regular basis. When Katherine grew depressed because of Thomas moving to Weston College at age 13, Richard and Barbra decided to purchase a shop in London for a bakery that they hoped would distract Katherine from the “loss” of her brother. Although they did not say this directly, Katherine knew it was the reason for purchasing the establishment. However, she tried use this to her advantage to take her mind off her brother’s absence, and studied and practiced many forms of baking and candy work. By age 16 she managed to master most baking techniques and was considered a genius in sugar sculpture work. She has also grown well-practiced in her sub-hobbies, but she is not as focused or proficient in them as some other girls her age. Though spending her free time at the shop, Katherine regularly attended her classes in embroidery and etiquette in order to train for the reputation she was expected to receive as a Phantomhive wife. Her extensive time in London, in proxy to the twins’ uncle, he ended up teaching Katherine about the Carrolton family tradition of becoming elite gamblers. Though a role initially reserved for the males in the family, Carrolton, without children of his own, decided to teach both Thomas and Katherine the craft, but was only able to teach Katherine due to her brother’s extensive time in Weston.
The Mond twins were 14 when the attack on the Phantomhive manor took place. It cause the whole family upset at losing their friends and allies, but it caused Katherine a great deal of distress at the thought of losing her fiancé. Though only friendly acquaintances up until that point, the incident brought Katherine and Lizzie closer together and they helped each other through their grief. Katherine affectionately started calling Lizzie "my little sister" during this time to comfort her, as they would've been sisters through their respective marriages, but she stopped once "Ciel" returned a year later, as saying so reminded her that despite "Ciel" surviving, her own fiancé was gone and it still pained her years later.
Though aware of his father's responsibilities and trained in combat sports and techniques early on, knowing he would eventually inherit those duties himself, Thomas only felt the true impact of it all after the attack on the Phantomhive manor. Richard, in order to introduce his son to the full weight of what was expected of him in the future, had Thomas perform an underground execution on a prisoner by shooting him in the head. This first instance frightened Thomas, but he kept a stoic face in order to not disappoint his father. Not knowing of his son’s full discomfort, Richard had Thomas perform more and more killings and assassinations over the years. Though Thomas has gradually gotten used to what is expected of him, he has taken to smoking opium after a killing to associate taking a human life with a feeling of numbness. He became acquainted with an opium den in London that has become his main supplier for such. Katherine was the only one that picked up on his true feelings regarding his assassinations, including his first one, and tried her best to nurture her depressed brother, and attempted to convince him not to blame himself for what he had to do. Ever since then, she tried to look out for her brother's well-being, and does all she can to comfort him in times of depression and doubt.
Shortly after he started regularly visiting the opium den, still at age 14, one of Richard’s "colleagues" in the Underground humorously purchased a session with a prostitute named Xiao Mei for Thomas. Thomas, intoxicated from the drug at the time, did not reject her advances and lost his virginity to her. Despite the dubious consent of their first time, Thomas grew affectionate towards Xiao Mei and makes sure to see her whenever he visits the den. When he was 16, Xiao Mei became impregnated with his child, Julius. Though never directly told by Xiao Mei, Thomas is aware Julius is his child. Given the delicacy of the situation with Thomas being from an aristocratic family, Thomas is unable to raise Julius properly, though he and Richard try to give Xiao Mei money to keep her and the child comfortable (and, in Richard's case, to silence her about the child's parentage even though she does so of her own volition).
When the Mond twins were in their mid-teens, Richard was the target of his own assassination attempt from the disgruntled lover of a prisoner he had recently sentenced. He was with Katherine at the time and the attacker originally targeted her with her gun, but Richard blocked the shot. He survived the attack, but lost an eye in the process. This incident greatly shook Barbra, who realized that even if Katherine wasn't directly involved in the Underground that she could still be a target for assaults by association, and she arranged for Katherine to train in knife-throwing and fencing to make her capable in combat should the need arise. Barbra would've preferred for her to learn firearms to be able to protect herself from a distance, but Katherine's nearsightedness combined with being unable to handle the recoil from guns led to her study in blades instead.
Currently, the twins are swept up in their own lives. After the murders of the Phantomhives and several other unsavory incidences throughout their childhood, Thomas and Katherine have become less trusting of others and only truly confide in each other even though they love and respect their parents well enough. The two visited "Ciel" regularly once he returned, but their visits gradually became few and far between for a few years as time went on. However, they recently became "messengers" for Richard when their father needed to contact "Ciel" or send him documents with the twins going in his place (which is primarily Thomas's responsibility and Katherine just tags along). The two are still kind and friendly with "Ciel" despite the Phantomhive's radical change in personality. Katherine in particular is very affection towards him (once calling him "brother" to attempt what she had done to bond with Lizzie, though never called him that again when it struck how much heartache it actually caused her to say that, both for her and visibly for "Ciel"), which Lizzie can get tense and upset about but keeps her feelings to herself as long as Katherine doesn't "overstep her boundaries" since she knew the redhead's affections simply came from a place of overcoming grief. "Ciel" snaps at or tries to dissuade Katherine from treating him as such when they're in the presence of other company but if it's just them (and Sebastian and Thomas and not other servants or guests) he's a lot more tolerant of her actions. Thomas is much more outspoken with "Ciel" than he is with any of his colleagues at school and treats him with his own brand of affection similar to a brotherly love, but the younger boy frequently rebuffs him. Despite the Phantomhive's new treatment towards the twins compared to before the fire, the twins care about "Ciel" dearly and try to do whatever they can to help him.
Under a disguise, Katherine regularly attends underground auctions, casinos, and gambling parlors. Through this she was able to amass a fortune separate from her family’s name as well as procure several properties throughout Europe as well as many connections to some powerful figures, both useful and unsavory.
ROMANCE PREFERENCES
Thomas’s taste in romantic partners is very open and varied, but he prefers partners who are ultimately submissive to him. While he enjoys strong personalities and people who can handle themselves, he feels most confident and comfortable when he believes his partners “need” him or he’s otherwise stronger than them (either physically or mentally but preferably both) as he likes thinking that he’d be able to protect them. This isn’t to say he wouldn’t be interested in someone he considered equal to or even stronger than himself, but it would take much longer to enter a long-term relationship with him of some sorts as he’d be stubborn to admit he wants to be with someone who might not rely on him. Thomas is bisexual.
Not surprising of a young aristocratic woman, Katherine’s tastes are a little spoiled and she desires for someone who can take care of and protect her. She will deny it if directly asked, as she hates admitting her vulnerabilities and thoroughly believes she can take care of herself because of her upbringing, but deep down she knows she has no experience handling dangerous situation and wants someone who can defend her if Thomas isn’t present. She might be open to being with someone “weaker” than her, though it would take a long time before she takes their (or her own) feelings seriously. On the surface this is because she wants someone to take care of her rather than vice-versa, but deep down this is mostly because anyone smaller/meeker than her reminds her of O!Ciel, who she still grieves the loss of. Katherine also needs someone who accepts her desire to spend time working in her family’s bakery in her spare time or otherwise isn’t intimidated by her ambition, and won’t settle well with someone who thinks that they can tell her what she can and can’t do (at least not in a long-term relationship). Katherine is heterosexual and a virgin, but she's had more than her fair share of flirting and "flings" in the past.
FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD
RICHARD MOND-Thomas and Katherine’s father. Has blond hair and blue, almost grey eyes. Works as a judge. Though his duties are relatively normal on the surface, he sometimes does under-handed dealings to coincide with the Queen’s wishes (though rarely ever contacted by the Queen directly). This may include things such as destroying and forging evidence, secretly releasing or executing prisoners, or allowing special legal privileges to the Queen’s other servants. Though he appears gruff and serious, he is actually an incredibly friendly and approachable individual in a casual setting. He attended Weston College as a Sapphire Owl student in his teenage years.
BARBRA MOND-Thomas and Katherine’s mother. Has dark orange hair and green eyes, like her children. Works and manages a small bakery and cake shop in London (named “Lady Mond’s Pati-Boulan”). Though very informed of her husband’s works, she tries not to interfere or comment on his tasks, but she has gained quite a bit of knowledge of some workings as a result. She tries to shelter the twins as much as she can, she knows giving them a completely normal life is an impossibility. She comes off as slightly more hostile and protective than her husband in most situations, and tries to live up to a strict and elaborate standard of being the matron of a high-end English family.
JIM CARROLTON-Barbra’s older brother. Jolly, round and looks much like a real-life Santa Claus. Works as a jewelry maker, specializing in custom-made pieces. Very good-natured, he is an unassuming man, but very wise. Was previously married to Amandine, who passed away from illness a few years after the twins were born. Loved her to the point where he never remarried and has never considered doing so. Has no children. He attended Weston College as a Violet Wolf student in his teenage years. As a the firstborn male of the Carrolton family, he was taught how to hyper-analyze human behavior patterns in order to manipulate others. The Carrolton family traditionally used these techniques to initially amass their fortune via gambling. While Jim hardly gambles himself, he still uses the techniques to aid in his salesmanship and business practices, and he went on to teach Katherine (he desired to teach both twins, but due to Thomas’ extensive stay at Weston, he was only able to fully teach Katherine).
AMANDINE CARROLTON-Jim’s late wife. Was known to be a very kind woman, but died from illness not long after her nephew and niece were born. The love she had with her husband was strong enough to the point where he never remarried. Has no children.
VERNON MOND-Richard’s father. Born in England, he moved to Germany after retiring. He attended Weston College as a Green Lion student in his teenage years.
HILDA CARROLTON-Jim and Barbra’s mother. Currently resides in Paris, France.
MASON-the family butler.
OLGA-Barbra’s maid. Originally from Germany, she’s still getting a hang of the English language.
ANAISE-Katherine’s maid. Cheerful and a bit of a gossip.
ABBY-the family’s St. Bernard. Very old, but very lovable and loyal.
XIAO MEI-a Chinese prostitute and Thomas’s longest-standing lover. She took Thomas’s virginity when he was 14 in a session purchased for him by one of Richard’s colleagues. While aware of his social status and the unlikelihood of them having a serious relationship, she is incredibly affectionate to Thomas, so much so that she decided to carry her pregnancy to term when she discovered she was pregnant with his child, whom she named Julius. However, she did so fully expecting to not receive any support from the Mond family and never directly told Thomas that Julius was his child. However, Thomas and Richard were able to see the similarities and figure it out, though they keep with the charade for appearances sake, knowing that an illegitimate son with a prostitute could damage the family’s reputation. However, they still try to sneak Xiao Mei extra money when they can so she and Julius can live comfortably. She is currently 23 years old.
JULIUS-the illegitimate son of Xiao Mei and Thomas Mond. Currently 2 years old. While Thomas is aware Julius is his son, Julius doesn’t know that Thomas is his father, though he enjoys the man’s visits. Currently the only people who know of Julius’s connection to Thomas are Xiao Mei, Thomas, Richard, and Katherine.

1988 Honda Prelude Si
Before we get stared I have to thank my buddy Rick Ruiz for being so enthusiastic about this project of mine, he jumped at the opportunity to help and was more than happy to have his Prelude be the first car featured. 
The prelude has always been an interesting car to me, not the car itself but more rather where it fit into Honda’s lineup. Honda had the Civic, Crx, Prelude, Accord, and Integra, all Front wheel drive, all had 4 cylinder engines, all of them had a two door variation. So why did Honda feel the need to produce this 2 door sport coupe if the CRX and the Civic were currently being sold? My guess is going for a traditional coupe style, the 2-door Civic and CRX came in hatches, and in the states hot-hatch culture was still in its infancy, so perhaps hatches weren’t appealing to the masses. Although, then I become confused, at the same time Honda was also selling the Accord, which came in more configurations, coupe, hatch, and sedan, the mid trim levels came with the same engine as the Prelude, and the coupes had extremely similar styling. So why would anyone buy a Prelude, when you could get an Accord with the same performance, more practicality, and more features? Simply put; marketing, the Accord was marketed as Honda’s mid-size family car with all the bells and whistles that you deserved, while the Prelude from its inception was marketed as a sports car, and oh what a sports car it was. At the time, Honda hadn’t revealed the NSX yet, so the prelude was the most powerful and most advanced car they had on offer. (Unless you opted for the base model which had a sad carbureted SOHC B20.) Under the hood of this Prelude sits a B20A5, a DOHC 2.0L 4 cylinder making 135 hp which was Honda’s biggest engine at the time. If you ever google search a third generation Prelude, one of the first things you’re bound to see is “1988 Prelude Si 4ws” 4ws, you’ll see it everywhere, 4ws is the Prelude’s most notable feature, a four wheel steering system, being the first ever in a mass produced passenger car. Four wheel steering systems were seen as the future in passenger cars in the 80s, but never quiet took off due to them being expensive, heavy, and their improvements subtle. They haven’t completely faded from existence though, up until 2005 GM tried using it on a few of their pickups and SUVs and currently BMW and Renault seem to be trying to reintroduce it. (Heres a link to an Autoweek article if you’d to know more about four wheel steering systems and how they work http://autoweek.com/article/car-life/four-wheel-steering-demystified ). The true advantages of a four wheel steering system were mostly felt at a track, were it would give you greatly increased maneuverability at high speeds, the biggest advantage most owners would feel is a smaller turning circle at low speeds, saved tons of people from doing 3-point turns I bet. While the handling advantages were seen as subtle, they were felt when in 1987 a Prelude with four wheel steering beat out true sports cars like the Corvette C4 in Road & Tracks slalom test. The 4ws wasn’t all sunshine and roses, it added a massive 500 pounds to the curb weight of the car, substantially impacting acceleration. I’ve been droning on about this four wheel steering system for long enough, sure its interesting but this Prelude doesn’t even have it. Why not? Well because the 4ws models were damn expensive, $17,945 MSRP, that is roughly $40,600 today, compare a Prelude to what you can buy today with forty thousand dollars and maybe it’ll be more clear why not everyone opted for the 4ws.
What about the styling? Well, at a quick glance, you can clearly tell its a late 80s Honda, might have to quint or look at a badge to tell if its a Prelude, Integra, or an Accord, but you at least know its one of those 3. Seriously google all those from 1988 and take a look, what was Honda thinking making them all look so incredibly similar? I know nowadays car companies give all their models the same basic grill or front end, but at least you can easily tell the difference between a Charger and a Dart. But back to the Prelude, look at its side profile, its body line, the top of the fender lines up perfectly with the bottom of the windows, and then the rear window curves up and gently tosses your eye along the trunk line. Its gorgeous and simplistic, none of the lines dart away in jagged directions to try and create a body line that isn’t there. The rub strip goes around the entire car, from wheel to wheel, bumper to bumper, and even on the wheel arches, because you’re gonna use this car, and you need that rub strip to protect all 360 degrees of you from shopping carts. Side note while we’re on the topic of shopping carts, holy hell the trunk space in this car is surprisingly massive. I wasn’t able to get a picture that properly captured how large the space was, but looking at it from the outside, the truck is about as deep as the rub strip on the bumper and goes all the way to the rear seats, it huge, bigger than you would expect. 
Tumblr media
Another surprise of the trunk is actually the trunk lid itself. The trunk lid and quarterpanels are molded to create a very subtle lip on the trunk of the car. That feature alone does more to promote this cars sportiness than fake vents or aggressive lines ever could. Although speaking of vents, this car does have a pair and for awhile they puzzled me quiet a bit, both from a aesthetic and function point of view. You see the Prelude has these funny little vents or channels on both rear tail lights, they appear to have some depth to them so I’m gonna go ahead and assume they serve some function, and my best guess is for cabin air circulation. 
Tumblr media
I could be 110% wrong but that is my best guess and I couldn’t find anything specifically related to them online that told me otherwise. The Prelude’s exterior has one more very interesting quirk/feature. Look at the hood and you’ll notice a piece of plastic, that looks very similar to the rub strips circling the car, laying horizontally a couple inches from the windshield. Yeah, that is a built in bug/wind deflector, in my mind one of the coolest features of the Prelude, sure it was marketed as a sports car but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some utilitarian features as well. The last thing to talk about on the exterior of this car is the wheels, everything about them screams 80s and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that these were actually super rare Mazda Rx-7 wheels. Having a triangle design like that makes me think of a rotary more than anything.
Moving on to the interior. The interior has a nice balance of sports car styling and utilitarian features. The dash board, the center console, and the door panels all sweep forward giving that cockpit feeling seen in more aggressive cars like the Supra. But it counters that by having a large tray in the dash spanning from the glove box to gauge pod, allowing for lots space to set down any loose items.  It has a pod around the gauge cluster with lots of buttons on it similar to whats seen in cars like RX-7 and 300ZX. A humorous feature to me is the seat belt warning light mounted on the ceiling above the rear view mirror. I believe Saabs or Volvos have a similar feature, acting like a “fasten lap belt” light that you would see in an airplane. I find it hilarious to have that in this two door sports car where chances of you always having a full cabin were slim, but Honda gave it to you anyway so you’ll never have to tell your rear passengers to buckle up.
Tumblr media
Perhaps this next part is nothing new to some people, but I personally have never come across a system like this before. The seat belts are 100% mounted on the door, not on the floor and the B pillar, not even on the seat, every part of the seat belt is in the door panel. Now when you first get in the car its different but you assume it serves the same purpose as ever other seat belt on every other car, until you try and open the door while you’re still buckled in and realize you can’t. Although even in the worst crash scenarios I can think of, a rescuer could still break the window and cut the seat belt, so I suppose it is not as big of a safety issue as I had first thought. Moving on to the seats, well, most notably they have a good amount of bolstering which was surprising to me given the cars age. There is even a little bit of bucket styling to these seats, its very mild but its there making driving this car quiet comfortable. So how is the drive? Well, quite good to put it simply. I got to drive this car the way most people who would end up owning one would, around tight neighborhood and small town streets. I didn’t drive it on a track, and I didn’t to take it on the highway to test how well that wind deflector worked. I stayed in the neighborhood around Rick’s house and timidly ventured onto one of main roads to get it up to about 50mph. I say timidly because I don’t know my way around Highland, Rick didn’t come with me, and my phone had died. So unfortunately my time driving was just as must spent trying to navigate as it was spent trying to get a feel for the Prelude. For being Honda’s biggest engine at the time, don’t expect to be blown away. Power is adequate, it gets the job done and certainly allows for some spirited driving when you want it. Its exactly what you expect, a nice balance of being fun enough for spirited driving, but practical enough for some great fuel economy. Of course being as it wasn’t my car and Rick wasn’t with me I didn’t want to floor it and be hard on the Prelude without Rick’s consent, although I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded.
Tumblr media
Where this car really excels is its steering, not its handling, its steering. The steering is extremely light, you could steer it with your little finger, better yet, you could steer it by blowing on the steering wheel if you tried. Stopped, at low speed, at cruising speed, its incredibly easy to maneuver, there is zero resistance in the steering wheel. My best guess as to why its so light, is that it has a very power power steering pump, as well as light weight steering components to compensate for the whopping 500lbs added by the optional four wheel steering.
The third generation Prelude is a great car, a fantastic car, its appealing, fun, simplistic, and practical. These cars are turning 30 years old, they’re slowly fading from the streets, normal buyers have no faith in a 3 decade old Honda sport coupe. If you find one, buy it, save it, enjoy this piece automotive history, and preserve it. In a few short years they’ll be 40, and the prices will rise as they appeal to enthusiast, collectors, and people who enjoy weird 80s tech. Rick is a lucky man to have found this car in such great shape, where we can admire it very close to as it looked new.

cristiano ronaldo quotes
9. Scoring goals is a great feeling, but the most important thing to me is that the team is successful – it doesn’t matter who scores the goals as long as we’re winning.
There must be a greater purpose to what you’re chasing. Don’t just chase money or fame. When your goals arouse terrifying longing, you’ll conquer all obstacles that come your way.
10. I would be very proud if, one day, I’m held in the same esteem as George Best or Beckham. It’s what I’m working hard towards.
You should have role models to inspire you. There will always be people who have accomplished more than you with fewer resources than you have now. Take strength from it.
11. I want to consistently play well and win titles. I’m only at the beginning.
Weak goals bring weak results. Always set ambitious goals which make you excited and put a fire in your belly. The only limit is the one which exists in your mind. Out of all Cristiano Ronaldo quotes, this one stands out as it makes you dream bigger.
12. There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world’s best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.
You must believe in your ability to become great. We are made up of the same matter and if we train ourselves every day, every minute to work hard, learn and evolve, nobody can stop us from becoming great.

The hard truth in life is that you will lose everyone you will love. So are you going to make it count while it lasts? Give them your love, time and attention, because every good thing comes to an end.
14. After I joined, the manager asked me what number I’d like. I said 28. But Ferguson said ‘No, you’re going to have No. 7’ and the famous shirt was an extra source of motivation. I was forced to live up to such an honor.
Ronaldo had to wear the No. 7 jersey previously worn by the likes of George Best, Eric Cantona, and David Beckham. The lesson? Treat responsibilities with respect. They push you beyond your comfort zone and skyrocket you on the path to success.
15. It gives me the happiest feeling in the world. I just love scoring. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple goal from close range, a long shot or a dribble around several players, I just love to score all goals.

18. I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to improve, to evolve.
