THE DO NOT’S OF REQUESTING
① do not request any heavy topics / heavily triggering topics such as self-h*rm, su*cide, ab*se, etc. i do not wish to write about those subjects as they make me uncomfortable to portray, and because i am in no way, shape, or form, qualified to even pretend that i know what survivors and fighters are dealing with.
② do not request anything that would require me to portray a character or a reader as homophobic, transphobic, racist, hateful, etc etc and so much more. i will delete your request and move on.
③ do not request anything that would require a religious stance. i wish to keep topics such as politics, religion, and hate away from my writing — writing is my escape, and i’d prefer to not to write about those topics.

Here are the eight things that seemed most important when I decided to put together an ~aesthetic~:
Bonus ninth thing: I am long-winded so I had to put this under a read more to save your dashes. I apologize in advance for the rambling stream of consciousness under the cut.
One. I need coffee: I like tea, too, but I need coffee. There’s nothing snobby or pinterest-worthy about my relationship with the stuff, either. I drink it nearly black, instant (I KNOW, I KNOW BUT I DON’T HAVE THE COUNTER SPACE FOR A COFFEE MAKER), and in ridiculous quantities. I go through two 100-cup tubs a month, though I put in more spoonfuls than they recommend so I guess the number is more likely 150ish cups a month. Which is still frankly appalling, but you know. My excuse is I work full time as a teacher and also full time as a writer which means waking up at 4AM seven days a week and going to bed at around 11PM if I’m lucky so what I lack in sleep I make up for in caffeine.
Two. I hand write a lot: I’ve been journaling since I was around 7 or 8. It’s gone from your basic ‘today the teacher was super unfair and I had orange juice at recess’ kind of journaling to a beautiful mess that’s a mix of journal, sketch book (I’m terrible at visual arts, but dammit, I love it), wish list, scrapbook, and obsessive record-keeping. Though I’ve gone full digital for all my actual writing, my journal will always remain handwritten. A blog just isn’t the same.
Three. I belong near the sea: I was born, raised, and have always lived in a small coastal town. I was landlocked for two different periods of my life (college first, and then a couple of years abroad) and I missed the sea more than anything else in the world. I always hear people say not seeing the sea makes them feel claustrophobic, but for me it’s the opposite feeling. My town is a peninsula so I’ve always thought of the sea as a sort of barrier between ‘home’ and ‘the outside’. Land locked places make me feel like I’m out in an open space with nothing to keep me safe.
Three and a half. My dog also belongs near the sea: I was going to use a picture of him, too, but I didn’t have any in my computer and using a random dog seemed weird. He’s a black lab I rescued when he was three. He’s now six and has some white hairs on his chin which make him look very distinguished. He leads a very pampered life in many ways, but I think his favorite thing is the same as mine: we live fifty steps away from the beach, where he can run off-leash and swim every single morning and night. I like to say I’m his service human because he has epilepsy which means I’ve gotten really good at sensing seizures and making sure he doesn’t hurt himself when they hit. In exchange, he keeps me warm in bed and makes me feel like the most important person in the world.
Four. I’m a woman and I love women (a ton): I fall in love at least twice a week on average, and three times if I happen to visit our vet who is an actual angel. I also have the flirting skills of a sea cucumber, but I make up for it by coming up with the smoothest lines for my characters because I am a benevolent overlady and they deserve better. I extremely rarely, if ever, spend my time consuming media with no women in it. Bonus points if they’re queer, but passing the Bechdel test is usually enough (notable exception: I will love Star Wars until my very last day on this Earth, Bechdel be damned). 99% of my characters are also women, and generally of the woman-loving disposition, and I think that’s okay.
Five. I’m a teacher and I love teaching (also a ton): I’m a special education teacher, and I love (nearly) every second of it. I get to work in small groups, sometimes even one-on-one, with kids and teens and adults who need some extra help. I often say my endgame goal is to transition to writing as my ‘main’ career, but I don’t think I’ll ever stop teaching because I love it far too much. I’d love to reach the point where I can make my own hours and not feel overworked and underpaid while struggling to make ends meet, but a teacher is what I am, not just what I do.
Six. In a different life, I was a stage actress: I even looked into drama schools for years. I think a part of me will always wonder if I could’ve made it, but I’m very happy with the small-scale classroom version of acting I get to do every single day instead. The theater is one of the things I love the most in the world, both musicals and straight plays. I watch nearly everything that comes through my town, and I save up and spend a week in London getting my West End fix as often as I can possibly afford. If I had to go without all other media in exchange for keeping live theater, I would (though it’d make me very sad).
Seven. I read as much as I write: I read, and I read, and I read. And then I read some more. I devour novels, but also long form articles, short stories, plays, COMIC BOOKS OH MY WORD, and even the back of the cereal box if I’m desperate enough. I’ve been living in my apartment for nearly two years, and I still have several boxes of books and comics in storage waiting to be unpacked. I will never not be amazed that comic books are suddenly cool after so many years of being for nerds, and I’m loving every second of it (though as a big time DC fan, I am somewhat butthurt about the current state of affairs in the DC/Marvel competition). My biggest book weakness are old timey nonfiction books for women and/or educators. The more problematic, the better. The crown jewel of my collection is a book written in the 60s for pubescent girls in which the author (a priest) attempts to tackle sex ed. Beautiful disaster. It includes the ‘true story’ of a woman who used lipstick as a teen and that set off a chain of events which ended with her grandchildren blaming her for their syphillis. Living in a country which was under ultra-Catholic fascist rule until 1975, my collection of problematic books is pretty impressive, I must say.
Eight (FINALLY I’M SO SORRY I TOLD YOU I WAS LONG-WINDED). I watch a ton of movies: Old timey, new timey, it’s all good with me. Because I don’t have a lot of time, I’m trying to make a conscious effort to be a bit more selective with what I watch and explore new things instead of rewatching Moulin Rouge for the millionth time. Letterboxd has been a godsend and I spend waaaay too much time fiddling around with it. But no matter how many new (to me!) masterpieces I discover, I reserve the right to watch Imagine Me & You at least three times a year.

@ This one anon who asked how to make moodboard due to their lack of notes on their posts your ask got eaten sadly !! But I am posting it here as an answer!
It is a long one so I am putting a Read More. I hope this help in some way other mods feel free to add on if you wish!
Its not rude at all!  Im going into a lot of depth with this so im putting a read more. If other mods want to add on feel free to!
i personally try to color coordinate my moodboards ! Meaning I try to find very similar colors that match the character along with certain objects, scenery, features (hair, clothes, eye color, etc), and/or quotes that fit the character!
For recent example: When asked to make a trixie moodboard I first find a picture of trixie that I like. I usually search in google: “[character name]” , “[character name] screencap”, “[character name] screenshot], or “[character name] vector”
So putting that into context, in google I would search: “trixie lulamoon”, “trixie mlp” , “trixie screencap”, “trixie screenshot” , “trixie vector”
Once I find the image I like I usually crop it to fit into a 300x300 image and make sure all the other images are that same height & width. I use “Preview” on Macbook laptops. You can use Photoshop to do this or search on google a 300x300 image and copy the image you want and past it onto the google image. That way it will be that size.
For the other images I once again search on tumblr or on pinterest. I use key words like: “pastel blue”, “purple witch”, “pastel tarot cards”, etc. Once I find the image I save it and once again size that image. Occasionally I do edit the colors of the images to fit the color scheme better. I do that using Preview and under “Tools” I go to the “Adjust Color” option and mess around with the different options like shadows, lightness + darkness, etc. till I am satisfied with the result.
If you want to add personal text or even have a specific color background or fine colors you want to use I suggest using this website.  Here I make many of the images that have quotes or sayings on them. I use the eyedropper tool to find colors that I want for the words & background.
When it comes to tag I dont use specific tags except for ones on this blog. I do suggest tagging with things that relate to the image. Example with the trixie moodboard I would of tagged it was: “mlp”, “trixie”, “moodboard”, “trixie lulamoon”, “aesthetic”.
Tags very from who makes what. Some people tag it as “my edit” or other types of stuff.
As for notes sometimes its all about timing and luck. Sometimes a popular blog can reblog the image and it get more notes or a new episode of something comes out and people see the moodboard and then more notes happen. But its just hard to tell.
No matter how many notes you get moodboards are fun to do and should be an enjoyable thing! I love making them because it oddly calms me because I love color coordinating things and seeing the final product! So have lots of fun! I hope this helps in some way !

15 of the Most Important Instagram Trends to Watch Right Now
Instagram trends can make or break your social marketing strategy. That’s why it’s important to stay on top of them.
Brands that keep up with the top trends on Instagram can take advantage of new features and beta tools ahead of their competitors. They also show their followers they know what’s up.
With added pressure from TikTok and a new head of company, Instagram is rolling out lots of new innovations, features, and tools.
These are the top trends on Instagram we’re watching right now.
Bonus: Download a free checklist that reveals the exact steps a lifestyle photographer used to grow from 0 to 600,000 followers on Instagram with no budget and no expensive gear.
15 top Instagram trends to watch for
1. More Instagram Stories, fewer posts
Instagram Stories have taken over, with more than 500 million viewers every day.
They have also become the place where people keep tabs on their friends and family, according to Instagram research.
On the other hand, the Instagram feed is primarily associated with polished content and discovery.
Getting rid of the chronological feed has only reinforced that perception. Posts now need to be slightly more evergreen. Stories seem more real-time by contrast.
The majority of users see the Instagram feed as a place to find information and discover products and brands.
While that’s good news for brands, regular users find it more difficult to imagine their content in the mix. Some have viewed Instagram’s decision to test hiding likes as an attempt to spur more sharing from those who feel intimidated by the feed.
2. Growth of the Explore tab
More than 200 million Instagrammers check the Explore grid every day and that number is expected to rise this year.
The feed’s new navigation bar now offers shortcuts to IGTV and Shop. From there, people can delve into their niche interests, like beauty, travel, food, or art.
Or, they can get lost in a selection of Stories that will now be algorithmically fed into the Explore feed.
3. Sound on for Instagram Stories
It’s still important to design for sound off environments. But a recent Facebook (and Instagram) study found that viewers like voiceover and music. 80% of Stories with voiceover or music performed better than ads without.
Currently 60% of Instagram Stories are viewed with sound on.
Maybe TikTok’s musical platform has helped turn up the volume across social media channels. Either way, expect TikTok to influence more Instagram trends to come.
4. Strategic stickers in Instagram Stories
Stickers are popular on Instagram Stories, but businesses have had mixed results with them. That’s going to change this year, though.
Expect to see fewer unnecessary and generic stickers, and more polished and original branded stickers over 2019.
5. More interactive Instagram Stories
While stickers have been a mixed bag for businesses, interactive stickers have been a hit.
Questions, poll, countdown, and emoji-slider stickers don’t just prompt more engagement, they make Instagram Stories more sticky. In other words, people stick around longer if there’s something for them to interact with.
For instance, Instagram internal data shows that nine times out of 10, the polling sticker increases video views.
Look for Instagram to unveil for interactive elements over the coming year.
6. Easier ways to shop on Instagram
With more than 70% of shopping enthusiasts using Instagram to explore brands, Instagram now rivals Pinterest as a platform for product discovery.
Over the past year Instagram introduced product tags in feed posts, product stickers in Stories, and a shopping feed via the Explore tab.
With more than 130 million taps on these tags each month, a direct buying option is the logical next step. In March 2019, Instagram rolled out a beta in-app Checkout feature that it’s testing with 20 brands, including Adidas, Burberry, Nike, and Revolve.
Instagram charges merchants a selling fee to use Checkout. But, if it spikes enough sales, the fee won’t stop more brands and influencers from getting in on the action.
Pick up tips on how to make your Instagram account more shoppable.
7. Shoppable influencers
Instagram influencers face a barrage of comments and DMs that often ask the same question: Where’d you get that?
To save influencers’ time, Instagram now lets creators tag products in their posts, which can be purchased directly with Instagram Checkout.
Only a select few currently have access to the feature, including Chiara Ferragni, Kylie Jenner, and Vogue.
Right now, they can only tag businesses participating in the beta Checkout program. But more will be available soon.
8. More realness and representation
Authenticity is so last year. 2019 is all about #nofilter.
Celebrity influencers like Jameela Jamil have waged a war on airbrushing, photoshopping, filtering, body shaming, and non-inclusive creative.

Boob stretch marks are a normal, beautiful thing. I have stretch marks all over my body and I hereby rename them all Babe Marks. They are a sign my body dared to take up extra space in a society that demands our eternal thinness. They are my badge of honour for resisting society’s weaponizing of the female form. ❤️ ps. My face is white because I wear spf 100 sunscreen like a boss. ???? PS. LOVE YOUR BROWN SKIN. I tan responsibly but I love to tan! I love to embrace and celebrate my heritage. This skin bleaching and whitening should be banned. It’s inherently racist, classist and emotionally very damaging. #brownandproud
A post shared by Jameela Jamil (@jameelajamilofficial) on Apr 1, 2019 at 7:50am PDT
Expect to see stretch marks, zits, and more from brands, especially in Instagram Stories. And with it expect to see more real talk about mental health, body insecurities, and other important issues.
In fact, Jamil’s radically inclusive @i_weigh account continues to gain followers. And with a follow from @sussexroyal, the official account of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, I WEIGH’s profile will by royally amplified.
Expect brands to more frequently sub models for real people. You should also see more diverse creative.
Aerie has earned major social klout for its “Retouching free since 2014” aesthetic. This goes for influencer partnerships, too. See IKEA’s partnership with the rainbow Amina Mucciolo being @studiomucci.

"Middle school and high school years were really hard for me. When it came to accepting my body it felt like a forever struggle that would never ease up. Now I know that my beauty is not determined by how skinny my waistline is or how perfect my skin is. The truth is I know I am beautiful, every day, outside and in. Every pimple, stretch mark, every roll and curve are real and unretouched. My beauty shines every day in every way. And yours does too." @daniebb3 Loves the swim she's in!

9. Rise of relatable influencers
Users are looking for authenticity from their influencers, too. The unrealistic lifestyles and picture-perfect aesthetics of certain Instagram influencers has given rise to Instagram vs. Reality memes. Out of that has come a new breed of influencer: the relatable influencer.
For example, mommy blogger Laura Izumikawa shares the ups and the downs of parenting. Joana Ceddia channels her awkwardness into humour. Jen Gotch talks anxiety and bipolar disorder. These influencers attract followers who are going through similar experiences.
As Izumikawa shares, “People are on social media to connect—or at the very least—relate to others. Being open and transparent will go a long way to help you connect with your audience.”

This is feels like my new normal. Swollen eyes, constant flow of tears and long, beautiful hair. It’s stress, and insecurity and sadness.  it’s emotions – some of which I haven’t felt in a long time.  And it’s not that my meds don’t work or that I’m having a depressive episode, and part of me wishes it was, because I know exactly what to do when that type of situation arises.  Strangely they come with less pain than this. Less tears.  Less rumination and obsessive thinking because the sensation is closer to no emotion than all emotion.  Add in a little shame, because I thought I was stronger than this.  And also I realized that I am not immune to vulnerability and vulnerability has kind of become my brand.  And it feels scary to share and it feels oftentimes meaningless to share, because it is really personal and I don’t have a solution and I usually like to offer solutions along with problems. And I’m in this fucked place because I asked to be and I should be grateful. I’m here alone, in solitary confinement – a form of psychological torture, writing this book that I really want a lot of people to read, because although it is a memoir, the goal is not just to share funny stories from my past. The goal is to enlighten people about their own mental health, to deglamorize success, build emotional intelligence, help as many people as possible feel less alone and yes of course, make everyone laugh. And I feel that instagram was a big part of what brought me this opportunity so I feel accountable to the platform and more specifically to you. So yeah, no solution here. Just an update, because the lack of an update was making me feel worse than an actual update. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I believe there is a light at the end of every tunnel. I just am not deep enough until the tunnel to see it and I want to go back, or lay down & cry or watch the entire first season of the Walking Dead while drunk.  But I won’t because I know moving forward is the only way through. Don’t feel bad for me, I am just identifying what is happening and acknowledging that I hate it more than going to the dentist naked – which I never have done, but it sounds awful.

10. The influence of TikTok
The unstoppable growth of TikTok, a music-backed video-sharing app that’s popular with teens, may inspire copycat behaviour from Instagram—as we saw with Snapchat.
IGTV will probably see the most changes, since many think the channel is due for a revamp.
And there are already early signs. Instagram’s recent overhaul of the IGTV feed resembles a cross between TikTok and Snapchat’s Discover feeds. Horizontal scrolling has been replaced with vertical scrolling. And, an algorithm automatically queues up the next video for you to view.
TikTok’s popular challenges have already organically migrated into Instagram follower feeds. So it wouldn’t be surprising to see Instagram attempt to foster more of that, especially since these challenges inspire content creation.

11. More channel-to-channel sharing
With posts in Stories and IGTV videos in the feed, Instagram has been toying with increased linkage between its different formats. Expect to see more crossover from brands who are attempting to boost views in different streams.
For example, when Instagram changed its feed algorithm, we saw more people sharing “new post” alerts in their Stories. Also, one-minute IGTV teasers have been popping up in the feed to direct viewers to the main channel.
Stories are no longer contained to the top of the app either. Now, they’ll show up in the Explore grid too.
The grid will offer personalized Stories recommendations, reminiscent of TikTok.
Instagram is reportedly testing adding direct links for Instagram Stories, too.
12. Sharing Twitter takes on Instagram
Hot takes have taken over Twitter, and they’re showing up on Instagram more and more.
It’s true, @fuckjerry’s been stealing (ahem, now crediting) Tweet memes for years. But, accounts like @will_ent show that this Instagram trend is not letting up.
As The Verge author Megan Farokhmanesh notes, “For some meme creators, Twitter and Tumblr are a canvas, while Instagram is the wall where they display their work.”
Look for Tweets appearing in more Instagram-friendly templates, from branded backgrounds to cleaner, cropped screenshots.
Expect also to see more text-a-gramming, too, ranging from Rupi Kaur-esque poems to more type-moding in Instagram Stories.

13. Increased social activism
With heightened activism spurred by social unrest and the upcoming elections in Canada and the United States, people are sharing their opinions on social media more than ever.
Text-friendly platforms like Facebook and Twitter have traditionally been associated with social activism. But Instagrammers now have a stronger-than-ever grasp of how to use the platform to share and amplify their views.
From “I voted” stickers to climate change memes, it’s become increasingly common and sometimes inescapable for people and brands to take a stand on the platform.
Activism on all fronts often involves calls for donations to nonprofits.
In February, Instagram introduced a donation sticker that can be added to Stories. While the feature is not yet available to everyone, people will be able to select a nonprofit and even customize the name of their fundraiser.

14. Crackdown on Instagram bots
Facebook and Twitter have been under the microscope for their role in influencing elections and harbouring hate speech. And more recent reports are uncovering the role Instagram has played, too.
Over the coming year, we’ll likely see Instagram take steps to combat abuse on its platform. We’ve already seen a few, including increased access to verification and the addition of “About this Account” to profiles with large followings.
Bans on Facebook may start to apply to Instagram, too. For example, far-right figures Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson, and Laura Loomer were removed from both sites this month.
But before there were any headlines about Russian meddling, Instagram already had a bot problem. Fake engagement bots have long been the scourge of the app, and Facebook has already started the year off by slamming bot sellers with lawsuits.
More purges, enhanced security, and increased scrutiny will likely follow in 2019.
15. Changes to Instagram Direct
Rumours that Instagram would completely push direct messaging to its standalone Direct app can finally be put to rest, at least for now.
With Direct gone, it’s likely that Instagram users will see some changes or improvements to the in-app messaging feature instead.
GIFs were introduced last year, and the Quick Replies tool was added to help businesses quickly answer frequently asked questions. It’s possible that Instagram will offer more filtering options for business and regular accounts.
For example, the option to make a Close Friends list for Instagram Stories makes it easier to direct message a group of friends at once. There are also rumours that Instagram will make direct messaging available on desktop.
