#IT'S A MULTI MEDIA AND MULTI PLATFORM PERFORMANCE

limeta's going on a rant lads! adhd sponsored so you know it's gonna be incomprehensible :D
you know what i think
i think fanfic authors don't talk nearly enough about the themes they write in their own fics because they've been led to believe it's cringy if they do it on their own. that they need to wait for this gospel wielding reviewer who's going to understand the theme perfectly and notice all of the nuance and leave no stone unturned. that's a lot of pressure to put on a person who might just read a fic and comment superficially because they don't understand, don't have the words to explain, or otherwise don't WANT to get into the nitty gritties of the works. or the 'tiny intestines' how we like to say details in my language.
in my personal opinion the author should have full right and support to just go online, on their blog or other type of platform they're using and just go HAM. you posted a chapter, it's passed a couple of days, people have read it, you just go and TALK about that chapter. if you feel the inclination of course. or you go make MEMES about your own works. you ENTERTAIN YOURSELF first!! you know how they say you need to put your air mask on first and then help someone? BESTIE, SAME THING!
you feel like nobody in the reviews has commented on something you want to talk about - you start the dialogue yourself and see who joins up - there'll always be someone.
being your own biggest fan makes so you won't get bored of writing. and what do fans do? they talk about the work.
don't just sit in front of your computer and click refresh hoping someone reviews. it's discouraging! it's downright scary and sad! hell i wish i knew this when i was starting out ten years ago. i was so dead set on being the proper fanfic authorTM. now? after COVID???? nah, nobody's got the time for that.
you be the literature teacher talking about colour usage and prose and metaphors in your own fic. like you are SMART for using that colour. Like YEP people DEF need to pay attention but if they don't? if too much is going on in a chapter and people don't notice? This isn't a classic literature class man, just point it out to them. The pay off will be super cool and interesting anyway. Don't spoil your work, I mean (unless you want to, like what are they gonna do? you're the author you can just do a 180 and say psyche and fuck with them) but nudging your reading pals in the right direction like oh dude the colour red? the leitmotif of this story's progressing in xyz? nudge nudge, that might or might not come up later you know ;)
You know how you have those 10 page summaries in the beginning of classic books that explain the book to you and then you read the book and understand it? Don't put so much on the readers. Don't think they'll catch every little detail.
This isn't saying in no shape or form to dumb it down - just if you want to talk about it - you MENTION it. you praise yourself, buddy! you make your own memes if no one else will because you know how to have fun.
and trust me you know the characters the best for your own story so unless you actually talk about it, rarely will anyone else do it for you. they'll be too shy. they might think it's not their place. but if you do it? nobody can tell you shit.
ahhhhhh! but what if someone calls me cringy for doing it and says my story is shit because nobody else thought to say stuff like this first and it looks desperate that i'm talking about it?
i mean lmao take it from someone who's been in this game for over 10 years now - like - it's super fucking cringy* that you're writing fanfic. have FUN with it :D
*cringe culture is dead. just have fun.

karma - auston matthews
notes: this is based off of @matthewshisch's idea (karma is the guy on the leafs)! so s/o to her <3 also, reader is a singer :)) AND gif not mine !
likes are good, reblogs are better!
Tumblr media
being a celebrity meant that no matter what, one thing would always be a fixed thing in your life. and that was the rumours.
one week you were dating a new guy. the next, you were engaged to some kid from your hometown. the next week, you were back with your ex.
no matter what, the dating rumours always flew around you. maybe the fact that you never made it public with anyone fuelled those even more. whatever the case, it was funny reading them.
especially when you thought about what you had planned for tonight.
a knock sounded on your door, followed by a familiar voice, "did someone order some flowers?"
you couldn't help the smile growing on your face as you made eye contact with auston in the mirror.
you were in your dressing room at the stadium, getting ready for the opening night of your multi-month tour. you'd worked hard to get to where you were now -- one of the most successful female artists in the world.
and right there by your side, supporting you for the past year, was none other than auston matthews, your boyfriend. you'd met at a leafs game years ago, but he'd only reached out to you just over a year before. ever since then, the two of you kept your relationship under wraps for the most part, doing your best to just enjoy your time together without the media's comments.
you'd talked about going public before, but for the most part, decided to let life take it's course. of course... tonight would be a pretty big surprise.
"hi, you made it," you got up from your chair, sinking into his arms for a hug.
"i wouldn't miss this for the world," he responded, placing a kiss to the top of your head. "it's my girl's big day. first tour in almost three years. nothing's gonna stop me from being here."
you grinned stupidly to yourself, finding auston's words so comforting and sweet. even after a whole year, he managed to make you feel giddy.
"i'm really happy you're here," you whispered, pulling away. "oh! i've got a surprise for you, but i can't give it to you right now. i'll give it after, okay?"
"a surprise for me?" auston repeated. "it's your day."
"hush, i wanted to do it," you said.
another knock sounded on your door, and your assistant, jenny, poked her head in. "y/n, we've got to start in ten. let's go. auston, mark's got your seat saved. head over quick, or someone'll spot you."
"that's not a big deal," auston waved it off. "if someone spots me, they spot me. it's not the end of the world."
"well, fact remains, we need y/n right now," she said. "c'mon, you can have her back when she's done her show."
"i'll see you soon," you kissed auston, before following jenny out to your position.
you adjusted your earpiece, waiting for the lights to dim. as soon as they did, the platform you were standing on moved higher, allowing you to enter directly on stage.
the lights turned back on, and the crowd went wild.
"let the show begin," you whispered to yourself.
---
"'cause karma is the thunder," you sang, "rattling your ground. karma's on your scent like a bounty hunter. karma's gonna track you down."
the crowd waved their flashlights in the air, following you as you continued dancing to the beat of the song, singing along. getting closer and closer to the surprise you planned for auston.
"step by step from town to town," you continued. "sweet like justice, karma is a queen. karma takes all my friends to the summit..."
you paused for half a second, allowing production to ready themselves and for the crowd to pay attention to the small change.
"karma is the guy on the leafs, coming straight home to me!"
you stomped on the mark, blue sparklers going off on either side of the stage -- matching with the colour of your dress and the leafs' colours.
the crowd screamed as you continued your performance, losing their minds at the confirmation that you and auston were dating.
"cause karma is my boyfriend," you locked eyes with auston in the crowd, noticing him smiling widely to himself as people nearby recorded the interaction. winking at him, you continued your song, "karma is a god."
the crowd continued chanting throughout the song, no one truly getting over the lyric change you'd done.
you had a feeling there were gonna be rumours about this for a while.

Among the three remaining dramas that are all on the bubble, NCIS: Hawai’i is the strongest performer with the best odds to come back, I hear.
Just an year ago, a renewal for Hawai’i would’ve been a no-brainer: it’s part of a storied franchise with solid rating and crossover potential with the mothership series that yielded big ratings in January 2023. But now, CBS already has three other NCIS series already locked for next season: the original series, renewed for Season 22, Sydney, returning for a second season, and the upcoming Young Gibbs prequel NCIS: Origins. There is also the Tony & Ziva NCIS spinoff series greenlighted by Paramount+, making for a crowded NCIS field.
There are strong arguments for keeping Hawai’i. It is currently #12 in linear viewership among all broadcast non-sports shows ahead of such TV staples as ABC’s 9-1-1 and NBC’s Law & Order: SVU and The Voice, and its multi-platform audience also is putting Hawai’i above several CBS dramas that already have been renewed, including FBI: Most Wanted, FBI: International and S.W.A.T.
As CBS Studios President David Stapf said in a recent interview about the NCIS franchise, Hawai’i also is “wholly unique” while being part of the franchise as the first NCIS series with a female lead, Vanessa Lachey, and with its Hawai’i locale. “We were just coming off Hawaii Five-0, a very successful show,” he said of the spinoff’s origins. “People love that setting, it plays well over the globe.”
The counter argument is all about shelf space (or lack thereof) and money. There is financial pressure on corporate level among all traditional media companies to curb spending amid a soft ad market. For CBS parent Paramount, there is the additional element of uncertainty over the company’s future.
Sources expect tough business conversations over NCIS: Hawai’i, which is likely to have to make budget cuts to continue — something most broadcast series are subjected to these days. I hear the best case scenario for the spinoff may be a partial Season 4 of about 13 or so episodes.

Tommy Shelby x Milf!Reader ~ Headcanon
Tumblr media
Note: Too long ago @sonichkkaaascreams snowed into my inbox with the idea of the Shelby!boys x Milf and I do still have an idea for a multi!part series in the back of my mind, I didn't want to keep her waiting so here are in addition to this one Arthur, John and Michael!
I do not consent to my work being translated, copied or posted elsewhere on this platform or any other. This hasn't been beta'd so I apologise for typos or mistakes. Here is my Masterlist
Warning: As I am an adult, all my writing I share is unless explicitly stated for adults (18/21+). Expect canon confirming tone, language and description of violence. Mention of sex. Your media consumption is your own responsibility. 
Request: @sonichkkaaascreams

You are the wife of one of his business partners, not one of those betting licence owners
He sits on the British Racing Board of Directors, not that he had ever earned it, no. Your kind didn't earn things, they inherit them, at least if they were men and that was your problem
If you had been born a man you could have been brilliant, a scientist, an explorer, a general or a politician
But you were a woman and so you had to make do with being a wife to a man who had all the freedoms in the world while convention tied you down and a mother to children who were placed in the arms of nannies and governesses as soon as they were born, who all knew so much better than you and didn't hesitate to remind you, so you'd given up before the second one was even born
You place was on the arm of a man who wasn't half as intelligent as you, being introduced to men who all saw you as nothing but a pretty face and important name even though you could see right through them and their false courtesies
And Tommy Shelby saw through yours. 
He noticed almost immediately that you were too intelligent for the act you put on and confronted you in such an arrogant manner it made your blood boil
But your station and role didn't allow yourself to turn down the dance he asked of you
So you bit back your venom and agreed
Unfortunately he was not only the only other sapient being for a hundred miles but also an excellent dancer 
He knows you know all the dirty little secrets of the people around and since you're bored and he is the best company this hellhole can provide, you tell him
While most other gentlemen end up in the smoking room gambling their inherited fortunes away he ended up fucking you in the orangery. 
It was a one time thing, nothing more, part boredom and part irritation that your husband had begun to sleep with one of the nursery maids. That was far from a rarity, but it did annoy you that she was one of the maids assigned to watch over your children- not that there was anything you or any other woman in your position could do about it
But then your husband enters business with Tommy Shelby and he comes to your house to discuss it
You ignore him successfully the first two times, because nothing is worse than when they catch feelings, but during the dinner your husband had invited you, his calm, disinterested demeanour irritated you and you didn't fail to notice the affection he showed your sister in law, who was as dense as the wall of the house you lived in
You showed him in your tea room what it meant to be lady of the house and that devil had the audacity to mock you for caving so easily
Unfortunately you saw him again and again all throughout the season, at races and at dinners, at lunches, at evening events- even at an auction once. 
Everytime he found his way to your side and got under your skin
The problem was, he was so very good at what he did, and he did things your husband would never dare, but sex was one thing...the other, however...
Tommy Shelby isn't shy of asking your help, telling you plainly as you fixed your clothes after an encounter during a ballet performance of Onegin that he needed your cultural capital and offered to pay you for it too, behind your husband's back - that you were useful for him, not your name, not even your body, but your expertise
No one had ever said that to you, no one that had ever meant it
So you taught him, from proper addressing to dining etiquette, not shying away from soiling dirty secrets and sharing rumours that might help him
The inevitable happened and he got too close. One time, the last time, he crossed a line when he stroked your cheek and suggested that perhaps if you tried spending more time with your children you'd feel less unhappy. How dare he presume to know? He was a nobody, who didn't even understand the difference between a baron and a baronet before he met you and now he was assuming to tell you you were unhappy? And what did he know of having children that, before they were anything else, were heirs and thereby nothing but property of the institution they had been born into?
He had no right to speak of things he - a man - could never understand
So you cut him off. No more meetings. No more dances. Not anything. 
You go back to the way you had always been- a statue of a woman, not dignifying your husband's affairs with even the slightest reaction, all alone on the pedestal the world, fate and your parents, had chosen to put you on
It worked for three months until you overheard a plan your husband and a few of his friends had. They had been offered good money to test a certain of Tommy Shelby's horses during one of the races and would find wrongdoings which would see him banned for life, if not criminally charged. One Irish voice seemed particularly keen on that.
So you had to make a choice 
~
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

OO. FAN DEMOGRAPHICS
AGE RANGE : ixluvs demographic is wide for its age range. ranging from teens to people in their early-60s. the wide age range comes from the fact that you try a new concept with each comeback, which also sometimes involves a new sound. many fans in their twenties enjoy the more darker and dance centered tracks while older and younger fans enjoy your more light hearted and even retro-inspired tracks.
GENDER : compared to the age demographic, ixluvs are made up of a majority of females and people who identify as nonbinary or genderqueer. you have struggled with having male fans since debut as most of your aesthetics have been geared more towards females rather than males. it’s also been revealed that most of your fans are apart of the LGBTQ+ community.

I never have understood the existence of Zarries. They can’t be 1D fans, they have to be people who discovered the band via Zarry videos.
1D fans know how vicious Harry was towards Zayn in 2015/16. He found every opportunity to take a stab at him and be passive aggressive.
Then with his second album when his mantra changed to TPWK, he talked about it like he didn’t know how Zayn was struggling. If he had known, he would have tried to help out. Yeah right, cause he was so helpful to all the other members of the band who have spoken about their struggles openly from Liam to Louis.
Zayn’s struggles and his wish to leave the band weren’t exactly hidden. The whole 1D fandom and the media knew about it for a couple of years before he left. Funny how it all passed by the ever empathetic Harry Styles.
Has any one ever seen Harry help out anyone other than doing gender reveals, dishing out relationship advice and facilitating people’s coming out for the entertainment of his audience.
He has bought fish for a multi-millionaire, his kindness knows no bounds.
Unlike the very mean vibed Louis Tomlinson.
https://twitter.com/juliettehsnogun/status/1662329840064770049
Having a subjectively perceived “mean vibe” (what does that even mean? like he gives people the middle finger, or can joke around without a memorized script?) is better having an objectively inauthentic, superficially nice and crowd-sourced TPWK motto which has only been used to sell overpriced, poorly made baubles.
While the actual meanness is in talking shit about your bandmate’s mental health struggles (or pretending you didn’t know about it while he lost a few stones in weight), or hiring people who talk trash about your ex-bandmates, or blocking their success while building your robo presence in pop culture, or buying expensive fish for his musical idol, merely days— days— after his little sister died.
Or taking advantage of your huge platform on an album release interview with Zane Lowe— of all people— to cast shade on his dead mother.
Or using him via HBO fanfiction to sell yourself as some sort of LGBT savior. Without alerting him and without his consent.
Did Niall do any of these things? No.
Did Liam? No.
As much as Zayn has fallen out with the group, did he do any of these things? No.
Harry Styles, with more than £150 million to his name, with ownership of performance venues and meditation apps and nail polish companies and a second £multimillion record deal— none of this was enough for Harry.
Harry couldn’t feel good about himself until he was extremely unkind to his former bandmates.
And for what, exactly?

Why Java Still Reigns Supreme: A Deep Dive into Its Benefits
In the ever-evolving world of software development, choosing the right programming language can be a critical decision. Java is one language that has over the years continuously demonstrated its value. With a rich history and a thriving ecosystem, Java remains a top choice for developers of all levels of expertise. 
Tumblr media
In this blog post, we will delve into the reasons why you should consider using Java in your development projects, exploring its strengths, versatility, and the many advantages it offers.
1. Platform Independence: "Write Once, Run Anywhere"
One of Java's defining features is its remarkable platform independence. This characteristic is often encapsulated in the phrase "Write Once, Run Anywhere." What does this mean for developers? It means that Java applications can run on any platform that has a compatible Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Whether you're targeting Windows, macOS, Linux, or even mobile devices, Java provides consistent and reliable performance across different environments.
The beauty of this platform’s  independence lies in its ability to save developers time and effort. Instead of writing separate code for each operating system or device, you can write your code once and deploy it everywhere. This significantly streamlines the development process and reduces the complexity of managing multiple codebases.
2. Strong Community and Ecosystem
Java boasts one of the most extensive and active developer communities in the world. This vibrant ecosystem is a testament to Java's popularity and longevity. It provides developers with a wealth of resources, including documentation, libraries, and frameworks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced professional, you'll find that Java's community is both welcoming and supportive.
If you encounter challenges or need guidance, you can turn to the Java community for help. Online forums, discussion groups, and social media platforms are teeming with developers eager to share their knowledge and assist others. The wealth of resources and the willingness of the community to help are invaluable assets when working with Java.
3. Security: Prioritizing Safety
Security is a paramount concern in today's digital landscape, and Java takes this concern seriously. The language and its runtime environment include built-in security features designed to protect applications from common vulnerabilities. These features, combined with Java's strict type system and memory management, contribute to creating robust and secure applications.
Additionally, Java regularly receives updates and patches to address emerging security threats. Staying up-to-date with these updates is crucial for keeping your Java applications secure. The commitment to security makes Java an excellent choice for projects that handle sensitive data or require a high level of protection against cyber threats.
4. Scalability: From Small-Scale to Enterprise
Java's scalability is another compelling reason why developers choose this language. It excels in both small-scale and large-scale applications. Whether you're building a lightweight web app or a complex enterprise-level system, Java can handle the job with finesse.
For enterprise-level applications that demand reliability and performance, Java's robustness is particularly advantageous. It can effortlessly handle high loads and traffic, making it a trusted choice for businesses with critical software needs. The ability to scale up or down as needed ensures that Java remains a versatile tool for a wide range of projects.
5. Versatility: More Than Just Coffee
Java's versatility sets it apart from many other programming languages. While some languages are specialized for specific types of applications, Java can do it all. It's equally suitable for web development, mobile app development, desktop applications, and backend services. This adaptability is invaluable in today's multi-platform development landscape, where projects often require a mix of technologies.
Whether you're building a responsive web application using Java's robust frameworks like Spring Boot or developing Android mobile apps with Android Studio, Java has you covered. The ability to work seamlessly across various domains makes Java a versatile tool in the hands of developers.
6. Performance: From Strength to Strength
Java's performance has seen significant improvements over the years, thanks to ongoing enhancements and optimizations. With its Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation and efficient memory management, Java applications can deliver impressive speed and responsiveness. Here are a few key factors contributing to Java's performance prowess:
JIT Compilation: Java's JIT compiler translates bytecode into native machine code just before execution. This process results in faster execution speeds compared to interpreted languages.
Garbage Collection: Java's automatic memory management system, including garbage collection, ensures efficient memory allocation and deallocation. This reduces the risk of memory leaks and contributes to overall performance.
Optimizations: The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) has evolved to incorporate various optimizations, such as inlining, loop unrolling, and escape analysis. These optimizations further enhance Java's runtime performance.
Multithreading: Java provides robust support for multithreading, allowing applications to take full advantage of modern, multi-core processors.
Tumblr media
The continual evolution of Java means that it remains a competitive choice in terms of performance, even in the face of new programming languages and technologies.
In conclusion, Java's enduring popularity is no accident. Its platform independence, strong community, security features, scalability, versatility, and performance make it a standout choice for a wide range of development projects. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your programming journey, Java has much to offer.
As you embark on your Java development journey, consider enhancing your skills with the help of ACTE Technologies in the field of Java training. ACTE Technologies is renowned for its high-quality training programs, designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the competitive world of software development. Their courses cover a wide range of technologies, including Java, ensuring that you receive the best education and preparation for a successful career in the field.
In a constantly evolving tech landscape, Java remains a steadfast and powerful choice. Its versatility, coupled with the support of a strong community and educational resources like ACTE Technologies, can help you unlock your full potential as a developer and create innovative solutions that impact the digital world. Embrace Java, and join the ranks of developers who have harnessed its power to build exceptional software.

This long but it is important... vitally important. LIFE SAVING LEVEL OF IMPORTANT particularly in regards to reproductive rights being under major attack, so please, please read.
With Roe being threatened there is a MUCH LARGER THAN EXPECTED (though maybe I shouldn't be surprised tbh), very misinformed, dangerous movement of people sharing herbs that are Abortifacients (which are TOXIC which is how they're able to cause an abortion) to large platforms of people, on all sorts of platforms with social media, from 13 years old and up, and giving HORRIBLE "advice" about it, which is at least 95% misinformation, and thus VERY concerning.
It's particularly prevalent on TikTok and the Discord servers these larger WitchTok creators have set up.
Including, but not limited to, vague AF instructions and dosing amounts, vague or flat out incorrect ways of dosing (tisane vs tincture vs topical vs THE BIG NO NO OF INSERTING IT), and apparently failing to realize that the SAFER and MORE SUCCESSFUL herbal abortions are blends of herbs to help balance the other effects, NOT JUST TAKING A LARGE (or multiple doses) OF A SINGLE TYPE OF HERB that's contraindicated for pregnancy.
PLEASE speak out against this.
Anywhere.
Everywhere.
I'm familiar with herbalism, grew up in a heavily holistic household, enough so that I know how damaging and deadly these methods have the potential to EASILY be, PARTICULARLY WHEN NOT UNDER THE GUIDANCE AND CARE OF A PROFESSIONAL, LICENSED, HERBALIST, preferably also with at least midwife involved.
They're also encouraging people to LIE TO DOCTORS about why they're seeking medical attention if (WHEN) something goes wrong. (Things like "tell them you ate something and now your stomach hurts.)
I have a a small, but decent amount of information and am looking into it further and am happy to share what I know, as well as anything other trustworthy people have made speaking out about it, of which there are plenty of TikToks for example.
But yeah, I am very concerned about how many people might end up with:
1. The "less" serious side effects (and yet, still ranging from potentially permanently damaging to life threatening) like burning a hole in their stomach, raging fevers, vomiting, diarrhea (all potentially extreme enough to need medical attention), dizziness (that sometimes doesn't go away), seizures etc
2. HEMORRHAGING, since some of these herbs increase flow to the pelvic area and uterus while others SLOW CLOTTING AND ALSO WEAKEN THE BLOOD VESSELS.
3. A number of different organs and systems that can be damaged like liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, nervous systems, cardiovascular system, brain, etc...
4. Organ failure/multi organ failure (mostly of those same organs)
5. Not successfully aborting the fetus and instead giving them extreme birth defects etc.
6. DEATH.
(Among other things, of course, like first and foremost allergies you may have to that family of plant, or contraindications for specific health conditions, or medication you're on, or hell your favorite herbal tea, essential oils etc etc)
I know people are scared, scared of losing their rights, scared about "what if" happens to them or someone they love, I know there is a resurgence of witchcraft, and as a result also natural treatments, but it's not coming from SAFE sources and these things really shouldn't be performed without being under the care of someone who knows their shit.
I also know that the lesson that needs to be driven home is one my momma taught us all:
Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's safe. Rattlesnake venom is natural but you don't see people lining up for that. And sure, deadly nightshade and foxglove are natural AND have been turned into the basis of medication commonly used by western doctors even, but if you don't know WTF you're doing with them, they'll kill you, very easily. Flowers we think of as harmless or ornamental can also be CRAZY POISONOUS. Have you heard of Oleander? Lily of the Valley?
As someone who only went through a (fairly short) phase of not using holistic treatments due to toxic living situations and the way I treated for using them plus not being allowed to spend money ON these items, I can honestly say I'm pretty sure I'm only as functional as a human being as I am because the holistic health care treats everything, and fills in the many, many, many gaps in "traditional" western medicine.
My quality of life got better once I was able to start practing what I know again.
I don't want to scare people away from ALL herbalism or holistic care... or to put it more accurately, I don't want to scare people away from herbalism (including Chinese herbalism), aromatherapy, homeopathy, Bach Flower Essences, the various types of body work etc AT ALL, since honestly it can be so good, so helpful, so healing.
By itself or in conjunction with western medicine, holistic health care and approaches to care and healing in general can change your life.
I just wanna put the rightful fear of REAL LIFE CONSEQUENCES into them regarding using unreliable and uneducated sources (like strangers on the internet who spout some shit off but don't go IN DEPTH about the dangers and how you need a professional for any BIG thing you want to do, and for many herbs used to treat many small things... and how you also shouldn't get your advice from all the various MLMs (like they did with Young Living and DoTerra which ALSO resulted in a LARGE increase in serious injuries from the (mis)use of essential oils), which are now starting to crop up regarding witchcraft and as they pick up speed I'm sure they're gonna include "herbal remedies" etc as well, cause essential oils and supplements weren't enough) so that fear of THE POTENTIAL DANGERS like organ failure and DEATH helps make sure they go TO legit fully trained, went to school for it, professional, certified/licensed holistic healthcare practioners who got these degrees from an accredited college and in order to BE certified/licensed they had to pass board exams/other monitored testing to prove they know their shit etc.
/end rant with many apologies for how long this is.
(But also not sorry cause if this helps to save even ONE person from making a bad choice, then it's worth it.)

Meet Amiria
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
amiria imogen maiah campbell ( born 13 September 1997 ) professionally known as amiria campbell is a New Zealand-Australian actress who is best known for her debut role as the powerful and peculiar Manaia Thompson on the hit Netflix series Stranger Things and another one of her well known roles as Lottie Mathews in Showtimes Yellowjackets.
A New Zealand - Australian sweetheart who’s employed in one of the most competitive industries in the world has been winning our hearts over the past couple years. Amiria grew up in Western Australia in the city of Bunbury while spending multiple summers with her grandmother in an unspecified city in the North Islands of New Zealand where she’s had the opportunity to connect with her Māori roots.
Amiria has had a very gifted mind from a young age which allowed her to graduate high school at the young age of fifteen years old. She attended Harvard and got her degree in biology but instead of returning for her Masters she decided to stop studying medicine all together when she was around 18 years old. Claiming that she wasn’t happy with her choice of study and got into acting instead.
The former medical student first shon her light when the multi-award winning Netflix series where she plays the supposed 001 and is a Hawkins Laboratory escapee. Throughout the past 3 seasons of Stranger Things the viewers have had the pleasure of watching Manny grow up and become more powerful and well… traumatised as the years have gone by. Amiria has teased to expect nothing less for the upcoming season.
With a second season on its way, Amiria has played the role of the psychologically troubled Lottie Mathews since the show Yellowjackets released on the 14th of November 2022. The whole cast of said show has since been praised for their performances.
After a few months of intense training with her co-stars that she considers her family the ensemble filmed one of the ( and probably the biggest ) most anticipated films of the year. The sequel to the 80s classic being released over 30 years later follows a new team of fighter pilots on a new mission where the stakes have never been higher. Having the opportunity to play a confident and phenomenal Calliope ‘Menagerie’ Dawson who was the best pilot in her Top Gun class and who is rather close to the legacy Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw played by her good friend Miles Teller was something that Campbell will never forget. She has been teasing the movie over the past couple months on her social media platforms with multiple pictures of her and her costars bonding on set.
With rumours spreading like wildfire, Amiria was reported to be in a relationship from the start of 2018 to the middle of 2021. Fans and paparazzi have been trying to figure out who her mystery man was but alas… Amiria Campbell has had his identity hidden for a long time.
The rumours became worse when she announced that she was pregnant just 3 months before their breakup. While many of her co-stars and friends congratulated her many still wonder to this day who Ani Campbells’ father is. The girl will be turning one this November.

What is the Most Viewed Video on YouTube: Top 10 Most Viewed Videos of All Time
Tumblr media
The world's most popular video-sharing platform, YouTube, has become a household name since its creation in 2005. With over 2 billion monthly active users, YouTube has become a go-to platform for entertainment and information. As a result, the most viewed video on YouTube has become a topic of interest for many people.
The most viewed video on He Tuber is a music video by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee called "Despacito." The video was released on January 12, 2017, and has since amassed over 7.1 billion views as of January 2024. The song is a reggaeton and Latin pop song that has become a global sensation. The video features the artists singing and dancing in the colorful streets of Puerto Rico. The song's catchy tune and lyrics have made it a favorite among people of all ages and cultures.
Current Most Viewed Video on YouTube
As of January 14, 2024, the most viewed video on YouTube is "Baby Shark Dance" by Pinkfong Kids' Songs & Stories. The video was uploaded on June 17, 2016, and has garnered over 14.5 billion views as of this writing.
"Baby Shark Dance" is a children's song that features a catchy melody and simple dance moves. The video features animated characters, including a family of sharks and a group of children, performing the dance routine. The song has become a global phenomenon, with people of all ages and backgrounds creating their own versions of the dance and sharing them on social media.
The success of "Baby Shark Dance" can be attributed to its accessibility and appeal to a wide audience. The song's simple lyrics and melody make it easy for young children to sing along, while the dance routine provides a fun and interactive activity. Additionally, the video's colorful and engaging animation captures the attention of viewers of all ages.
It is worth noting that the popularity of "Baby Shark Dance" has also led to criticism and backlash from some viewers who find the song and dance routine repetitive and annoying. However, despite the mixed reactions, the video continues to be the most viewed video on YouTube, surpassing other viral hits such as "Despacito" and "Gangnam Style."
Historical Progression of Most Viewed Videos
The most viewed video on YouTube has been a topic of interest for many years. Since the launch of YouTube in 2005, the most viewed video has been a coveted title for content creators. Here is a brief overview of the historical progression of the most viewed videos on YouTube.
Initial Record Setters
In the early days of YouTube, the most viewed videos were typically music videos or viral videos. The first video to reach 1 million views was "Evolution of Dance" by Judson Laipply in 2006. This video remained the most viewed on YouTube until 2008 when it was surpassed by the music video for "Baby" by Justin Bieber featuring Ludacris.
Billion Views Milestone
In 2012, Psy's "Gangnam Style" became the first video to reach 1 billion views on He Tuber, setting a new record for the most viewed video. This video remained the most viewed on YouTube for several years until it was surpassed by Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" featuring Charlie Puth in 2017.
Multi-Billion Views Achievements
Currently, the most viewed video on YouTube is "Baby Shark Dance" by Pinkfong, which has amassed over 9 billion views. This video surpassed the previous record holder, Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" featuring Daddy Yankee, which held the title for several years with over 7 billion views.
The most viewed video on YouTube has evolved over the years, with different genres and content creators taking the top spot. The current record holder, "Baby Shark Dance," shows that even children's content can become a global phenomenon on YouTube.
Factors Contributing to High View Counts
Viral Trends
One of the main factors contributing to high view counts on YouTube is viral trends. Videos that capture the attention of a large audience and are shared widely across social media platforms tend to receive a high number of views. For example, the video "Charlie Bit My Finger" went viral in 2007 and has since accumulated over 880 million views.
Music Video Popularity
Music videos are also a significant contributor to high view counts on YouTube. Popular music artists such as Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift have amassed billions of views on their music videos. The music industry recognizes the importance of YouTube as a platform for promotion and exposure, and many artists release their music videos on YouTube as a way to reach a wider audience.
Celebrity Influence
Celebrity influence is another factor that contributes to high view counts on YouTube. When a celebrity shares a video, their followers are more likely to watch and share it, leading to increased views. For example, when Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake performed the "History of Rap" on The Tonight Show, the video went viral and has since accumulated over 100 million views.
Overall, a combination of viral trends, music video popularity, and celebrity influence are key factors contributing to high view counts on YouTube.
Impact of Most Viewed Videos
Cultural Influence
The most viewed videos on YouTube have a significant cultural influence on society. They have the power to shape opinions, trends, and even political outcomes. For instance, the "Gangnam Style" music video by Psy, which has over 3.8 billion views, introduced Korean culture to a global audience and popularized the Korean pop music genre. Similarly, the "Despacito" music video by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, which has over 7.4 billion views, helped to break down cultural barriers and promote Latin American culture worldwide.
Monetization and Revenue
The most viewed videos on YouTube also have a significant impact on the platform's revenue and monetization strategies. Popular videos generate a substantial amount of ad revenue for YouTube and the content creators. For instance, the "Baby Shark Dance" video by Pinkfong, which has over 8.2 billion views, has generated millions of dollars in revenue from merchandise sales and advertising.
Platform Evolution
The most viewed videos on YouTube have played a crucial role in shaping the platform's evolution over the years. YouTube has introduced several features and policies to cater to the needs of content creators and viewers. For instance, the introduction of the YouTube Partner Program in 2007 allowed content creators to monetize their videos and earn revenue from ads. Similarly, the YouTube algorithm has evolved to recommend videos based on user preferences and viewing history, making it easier for users to discover new content.
In conclusion, the most viewed videos on YouTube have a significant impact on culture, revenue, and the platform's evolution. They continue to shape the way we consume and create content online, and their influence is likely to grow in the future.
Potential Challengers and Future Trends
While "Baby Shark Dance" currently holds the title of the most viewed video on YouTube, there are several potential challengers that could surpass it in the future. One such contender is Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" featuring Daddy Yankee, which currently has over 7.3 billion views and is the second most viewed video on the platform.
Another video that could potentially challenge "Baby Shark Dance" is "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran, which currently has over 5.1 billion views and is the fourth most viewed video on YouTube. Additionally, the rise of K-Pop and the global popularity of groups like BTS and Blackpink could lead to a K-Pop video eventually taking the top spot.
In terms of future trends, it is likely that music videos will continue to dominate the most viewed videos on YouTube. However, with the increasing popularity of gaming and esports, it is possible that videos related to gaming could also make their way onto the top viewed list.
Overall, while "Baby Shark Dance" currently holds the title of the most viewed video on YouTube, there are several potential challengers and future trends that could shape the platform's most viewed videos in the years to come.

Manifestation Monday! Hank and his wife are "in talks" to recover from their "fcking grifters" status. by u/KarenDelaneyWalker
Manifestation Monday! Hank and his wife are "in talks" to recover from their "f*cking grifters" status. https://ift.tt/PmB3714 (archived)Some snippets:The Duke and Duchess's business advisers are in talks with Amazon-owned audiobook and podcast service Audible, whose roster of stars includes former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama.At the same time, Meghan has been "reaching out" personally to A-List icons, including Pretty Woman actress Julia Roberts, in an effort to generate joint projects for a planned relaunch of her website The Tig, our source disclosed.The source said: "Harry and Meghan are retooling, retrenching and preparing to change course in their efforts to establish themselves and their production company Archewell as serious players across multi-media platforms. Expect them to come out swinging in the New Year." It now seems clear that the new platform will almost certainly be Audible and our source confirmed that Meghan’s new team at powerhouse LA talent agency WME is "closely involved" in talks. The couple already has strong ties to the subscription service, with Harry’s incendiary memoir Spare – narrated by the Duke himself – currently being offered to listeners for free as part of a promotional deal.This was set up by his publisher Penguin Random House and Audible bosses are said to be “delighted” with the uptake from new customers and “very interested” in pursuing a long-term deal with the couple.The Duchess is also said to be “reaching out” to A-List stars in a search for celebrity collaborators as she reportedly plans an imminent relaunch of The Tig in a bid to become a serious online influencer. According to a senior Hollywood production source who knows them both, Meghan’s principal target is her personal icon Julia Roberts. Meghan has said the Oscar winner’s performance in Pretty Woman inspired her own career and the source added: "Since Harry and Meghan arrived three years ago, Meghan’s been making it a mission to befriend Julia." *************************************************************************************Long story short, Hank and his wife need to recoup their Spotify money, so their plan is to team up with Audible a la their mentors, the Obamas. For those who are interested, Audible is currently offering free copies of Waaagh as part of a promotional deal (although this seems more like a reason NOT to sign up for Audible). Way to go, Penguin Random House. You managed to get your client's toilet paper on Audible as a free gift with purchase."Meghan has said the Oscar winner’s performance in Pretty Woman inspired her own career..." Of COURSE it did. Hooker meets a wealthy dude, thinks wealthy dude will change her life and elevate her hooker life. Except as with all of Hank's wife's plans, the universe laughed and gifted her a f*cked up version. She ended up with a whinging, immature, pathetic prince with little cash and no brains to fix the problem.I expect Hank's wife's manifestation for a quality podcast and a friendship with JR to go the way of her Sussex-ful Dior campaign.​ post link: https://ift.tt/9QWyYd7 author: KarenDelaneyWalker submitted: October 09, 2023 at 05:59PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

Pioneering Audio Art NFT Project Featuring Tom Hiddleston To Be Released | Forbes
by Josh Wilson
Tumblr media
Popularly celebrated for his performance as the Norse God of mischief - Loki - in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Hiddleston has always been labelled as a lovable actor on and off-screen. Soon, a set of NFTs will be released that will be illustrated through pop art, coupled with his well-known voice.
Residing in the blockchain, this triple featured multi-media NFT project is called The Masters Audio Art Collection. Created from exclusive audio recordings of celebrities reciting their favourite poems converged with the progressive digital artists from the OWNFT Studio, the creative arm of OWNFT World - a Singapore end-to-end Web3 and blockchain solutions developer.
The Masters Audio Art Collection NFTs are a collection of artistic creativity from three individuals. The poet who wrote the poem, the celebrity who recites it, and the artist who illustrates the pop art that will tie everything together into a one-of-a-kind pop art NFT.
Tumblr media
The Tom Hiddleston collection features the actor reciting excerpts from 12 of his favourite classic poems including “The Mower” by Philip Larkin, “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost and “I am” by John Clare. The full poem recordings have been streamed more than 700 million times on Ximalaya FM, SoundCloud and Youtube. However, these exclusive NFT arts on offer were created from a collection of never-before-seen photos of Tom in the recording studio, and are aimed to immerse buyers into a journey of emotions expressed in the poems visually and auditorily.
Pop art is an art movement that emerged during the 1950s and was made prominently relevant by the talented Andy Warhol, the art movement is famously known to consist of colourful and vibrant elements that displayed imagery inspired by popular or mass culture, including iconic celebrities, comic book characters or elements, and other popularly known objects.
Drawing inspiration from the pop art movement, The Masters Audio Art Collection aims to celebrate cultural icons as the masters of their field. Through the art of rendering techniques, each piece of art is prepared to blend into the audio, so buyers can somewhat feel each word being spoken. This meticulously curated 360 NFT is a collectible that is planned to celebrate the mastery of performing art skills surpassing time and cultural progress, a collection aimed at both digital art lovers and fans alike.
According to Fiorenzo Manganiello, the President of the Lian Group’s Lian Foundation, which was set up to collect NFT art and to support millennial arts digital education, “Masters Audio Art is leading a new trend appearing in the space of iconic pop art NFTs,” He specified after being invited for a private viewing of the Collection. “They are moving towards merging conventional arts through time and medium on blockchain to ensure the authenticity and conservation of celebrity pop art.”
Series two of the collection is set to feature Dame Helen Mirren, best known for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in the movie The Queen, and as Queenie in the recent F9: The Fast Saga.
The Masters Audio Art NFTs are available for sale from the 14th of May on OpenSea. A premium Web3 NFT marketplace.
The owners of Tom Hiddleston’s NFTs can also invite people to attend Tom Hiddleston’s Masters Audio Art Exhibit on the upcoming Ploutus platform from OWNFT. In addition to the site, the Ploutus app will be packed with augmented reality (AR), and virtual environments offering multi-level immersive engagements for NFT owners.
Premiering in the Commonwealth Fashion Council (CFC) 3D interactive museum gallery in conjunction with U.K. royal Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee month in June, on the Ploutus app, the interactive art exhibit shall showcase sold NFTs from the series so that owners can display their acquisitions to the world.
“Ploutus is where NFT owners can list, engage, and have fun with their digital assets.” OWNFT World’s founder and director, Patricia Pee stated. She further added that it is more important than ever to create NFT projects that are of value creation, meaningful and can remain relevant for a long time because this is the aim of blockchain in the first place.
‘‘Web3 NFT projects have got a lot more to offer because the market is increasingly sophisticated now than before and that is why, with an art project like the Masters Audio Art Collection Series, we have to create not just the art but also think about how buyers can enjoy and share their art collection in different ways that will hold or increase their value over time.’’ She concluded.
Around the viability of the collection, I also spoke to Manav Golecha, an expert in the NFT space, on the viability to scale and sell NFT collections around celebrities in a brief period. Golecha famously started the Women of Crypto collection, which sold 8888 NFTs in 5 months. Women of Crypto however had a particular mission to empower and educate women in this financial and technological revolution.
“Any time you're utilizing a strong brand name - celebrity in this instance - it’s positive when it comes to NFT projects as a whole. Most NFT drops fail because of a lack of marketing and effort. With something like this, it’s important that the advertising of it is spot on, so people know it’s there, and also from a security standpoint it is protected and is on a secure platform. Which it looks like this is.”
From art to enhancing security and helping develop thriving communities - Golecha expands his abilities to make sure a project’s processes are secure end-to-end to benefit its community and to also strengthen the project’s marketing. He further helps NFT projects with auditing smart contracts to identify bugs. This helps NFT collections in optimising gas for their contract to reduce the overall gas fee.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are stolen from people because of hackers in NFT Discord groups. Manav uses his skills in Discord cybersecurity to help NFT projects fight against hackers and remove webhooks from the Discord server. This helps bring down the probability of hacks and keeps the community secure.
Golecha also mentioned the need to give back through collections. He assists NFT collections in partnering with nonprofits to increase their impact. He’s also personally donated $100,000 to two entities, namely Women Who Code and Crypto Chicks.
“Philanthropic endeavors should be a key part of this industry. It’s certainly key for me and I stress to all my clients to make sure that they heavily contemplate how they will give back to a specific community or an area that they are passionate about.”
OWNFT’s Tom Hiddleston project shall be making a contribution to Tom’s favourite social organisations including UNICEF.
Currently, only 1.4 million individuals have activity on OpenSea, an NFT trading platform. Meaning that 99.9% of the internet has not bought an NFT, yet.
Golecha predicts that this will change in 15 years and NFTs will have a significant market.
Two big drivers for this growth according to him will be the upcoming Coinbase marketplace which already has roughly 3.7 million users on the waiting list and Eth 2.0 which will drastically reduce gas fees once the network moves from proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake mechanism.

Since you asked for distractions... Why did you start posting on Tumblr? How long have you been here? Why do you stay? How do you keep up having multiple sites?
Hello Friend! Thank you for the distraction!
I started posting 14 years ago in 2009! My girlfriend at the time used Tumblr and I wanted to be one of the cool kids too! Back then I was a LiveJournal guy.
I have accounts on pretty much every social media platform out there (so that no one else can use my "Das Energi" name) but Tumblr is the only one I am still active on.
I like that I can curate what I see on my feed. I don't have any "real life" friends here. On the other platforms I am at the mercy of what they post. Here I add people who post content that interests me.
That is why I have multiple side-blogs. Someone might enjoy the spiritual posts of @dasenergi, but not want to see the nerd content of @male1971
I actually compartmentalize my real-life too. I have my group of theater friends, my Buddhist friends, my Performance Art friends, my gay friends, my New Age friends, etc and very rarely do they cross-over into each other.
How do I keep up with having multiple side-blogs? Other than the bots constantly adding them, I find it easy. That's just how my brain works. I was a librarian for 11 years, so I can compartmentalize, categorize, and multi-task with ease. It's actually easier on me.
Thanks for the ask!
