"Harry is very good at keeping himself in the limelight. He definitely has enough charisma and press to keep a lot of people interested; he follows a Kardashian model of economics (little talent, much exposure) that has worked out very well for them."
I'm not the same anon from before but i actually loved this example you made and i wanted to add my two cents on that. Cause mr Styles is literally the male and cheaper version of the kardashians, very good at keeping people intrested in their personal lives rather than in their actual business/art. The main difference would be Kris and the entire pr team of the kardashians are way better at creating "trends" and keep people talking (might also be cause for them every publicity is good publicity while for the azoffs (and harry himslef) there's nothing worst than someone even daring to slightly criticize their favorite industry plant). The point is in 5/6 years maybe more if they play their cards right harry would be no better nor more relevant than any justin timberlake out there rn. Actually he is the second coming of JT a traitor who betrayed, sabotaged and humiliated his band members for his selfish wishes of power and fame and who used more famous and powerful women than him to boost his fame and career. In 10/15 years styles will be running back to his roots with his tail between his legs beggining for a 1d reuinion, hopefully the others will have a better chance at their solo carreers than the 4 nsync had and won't find themselves """forced""" into accepting a fake reunion for a little bit of more money and limelight.
I really, really hope that Louis will have enough self-preservation and pride that he will turn down a 1D reunion, because it will inevitably be lame and sad as fuck, four or five middle-aged men trying to relive some childhood glory.
However, UO (or is it popular? Idk) I think a 1D reunion is likely at some point. Old dudes singing Midnight Memories or Best Song Ever to make a buck that none of them need, instead of making new and better music, is fucking sad. I was listening to Paolo Nutini and thinking of his evolution as an artist, which came after years and years, and wondering whether Louis can grow like Nutini, and not always worry about keeping his 1D audience or look back on past glories. Trying to play to a 16-year-old crowd as a 35-year-old male artist, and dragging out the newest arrangement of Steal My Girl… that just ain’t it.
The thing about Louis always hanging on to 1D and playing 1D songs at his shows is that he’s encouraging the audience to value these songs more than his solo songs. He can’t let go; fans sense his weakness and push him further. He drops FITF songs to play Catfish’s 7 or Drag Me Down— some of the fans in the audience have never heard some of the FITF songs and don’t even know he’s skipping them. Did Louis really do himself any favors?
But hyping 1D seems to be the refrain of Louis’ career, from label to management to Louis himself, and for eight years, it’s never changed. So unfortunately, I think a 1D reunion is a matter of time.

Nsndjddkdfudjeidbekdhkdbdidhe i got my first reblog and im so happy
Well i translated one more drabble with wrightworths sooo yeah
"Hey, Edgy", Larry says that with a lot less energy than usual and because of this being unlike Butz, Edgeworth's intuition already told him that he won't like his next words. Well, it was right. "Why don't you contact with Nik?"
"He did not try to start our communication again himself so I don't see a reason to reach him myself." This lie comes out after some time of silence but still it's not that easy to find out if this really is a lie...
Unless you know the truth.
"But he tried!" exclaims Larry making Edgeworth sigh. "He wrote letters, he called your phone, he even showed me these letters and a call log!"
"Larry..." Edgeworth sighs again, irritated, averting his eyes. He does not want to bring up the "why do i avoid phoenix" topic. But he knew Larry too well to hope that...
"Edgy, why do you do this? You know you can trust Nik! You know well how I appreciate you and the same goes for Nik!"
Edgeworth sighs one again. Not "the same goes for Nik", it's "more goes for Nik". He knows it well.
Maybe that is the reason he doesn't want Wright to see him. Not after all this "forged evidence" gossips. Wright can be very emotional about it and who knows where these emotions can get him. It was much easier with Larry. Not only he found him before the SL–9, not only this. Even if he believed in all this gossips (and Larry said he'd not and Edgeworth believed him and not only because Larry is really bad in lying) then maybe Larry would be disappointed in Edgeworth but it wouldn't turn him away from Edgeworth.
It's not the same about Wright. Phoenix never tolerated lies and omissions. And if he will believe in all this gossips about Edgeworth then their friendship ends. They didn't see each other for about one and a half decades, nevertheless Edgeworth wasn't ready to hear that all is gone now.
If Phoenix can't get in touch with him then he can't say to Edgeworth that Edgeworth is foul lier and he doesn't want to have anything in common with him, right?
So everything is alright unless they meet.
_
So yeah here just my thoughts if you are not interested you can just skip it here's nothing important
Maybe will finish one kuyaei (im used to call it kuyden but as i discovered on ao3 everyone call them kuyaei(( and translate it a bit after i dunno and i also have one underoffice idea because i got to ao3 just to see how's everything there (less then 5% of Boss/Eugene for the whole ao3 UO fandom, its really impressive. What's disappointing - 3 times less fics than on ficbook) and i just thought about idea for a fic although im not sure if ill right it (its about some parental boss and eugene and monster ending soooooooo yeah well i really like some dad-sons and i also have a few sw:r ideas and one with kanan and ezra and the same motif as in what i thought of forr boss en euge)
Well i already said a lot sooo yeah
I also upload this wrightworths on ao3 so well yeah

Part 2 is here!!! This is actually all just fluff and nothing new regarding reader's seelie powers but ;)) Part 3 coming soon...maybe...
-It has been a week or two since the interaction and the both of you have been exchanging letters, due to the fact that you live in Qingce Village.
-You only went to Liyue Harbor for a bit as you had a few commissions and quests nearby there, it would have been a long trip back and forth from home. (He's glad that he met you but won't admit it out loud.)
-Now what surprised you was that he came to visit you, not because he had a job nearby but purely of his own accord. You felt a flutter in your , upon seeing him at your door.
-"... Chongyun?"
-A flush from his cheeks as he shifted onto his other leg.
-"...Hello."
-Happiness bubbled throughout your body. With a bright smile you ushered him into your humble abode. He looked at the scripts and maps on your walls, then glanced over to the collection of pressed flowers beside your small dining table.
-You poured him a cup of tea and placed a bowl of food in front of him. Cold noodles with soy sauce and some fresh greens on the side.
-"I-I really couldn't--" he tried to turn down the offer of food but the smile you gave him made him pick up his chopsticks.
-Mid-coversation, another knock came at the door. Raising an eyebrow, you went to see who could be looking for you.
-"[Y/N], sorry to trouble you at the moment but could you please get these to Granny Rouxin? I have to rush for a meeting with some customers."
-You nodded and closed the door to sit back down with Chongyun as to continue the conversation, it would also be quite rude if you were to leave a guest in your house but-- Granny Rouxin :(
-Almost as if he read your mind, he finished eating and set the dishes by the sink. You were about to protest and ask him to sit down but he grabbed your hand and led you out the door.
-"Let's go give the chief that package."
-Your heart skipped a beat as you looked at your hands. Walking up the trail and stairs, you arrived at the chief's residence. She opened a door with a smile and greeted you.
-"Ah, [Y/N]. Good to see you, I suppose you're here for delivery?"
-"Yes, here you go! Please continue to rest, don't worry about the village, we'll be fine. If anything happens please get Ju Hua to send a letter to me."
-The kind elderly lady had been ill for a few days now and the entirety of the village had urged her to rest, considering her age and her position. She had been taking it easy and not moving about too much, hopefully her fever would subside soon.
-"Thank you, you're always such a help around here. I'm grateful that you continue to stay here even though it's a quiet life," she sighs.
-It really was a shame that many of age had went to the city, leaving yougins and elderlies here. As much as you liked the city, the calmness of this village and its beautiful fields had captured your heart.
-"Of course, it really isn't anything, I love living here anyway!"
-Chongyun silently took note of what was going on in the conversation, feeling a small sense of pride and joy when he heard that you had been helping around in the village from THE chief.
-Wrinkled eyes smile as they slowly trail to the cryo user beside you, the warm hues turn into mischievous ones as she looks at your joined hands.
-"Thank you... Hmm, you didn't tell me you had a boyfriend?
-Immediately, the both of you separated with red faces. A chuckle escapes her throat as she waved the both of you off before returning to her bedroom.
-A moment or two passed as you both walked down the path, cryo tickling your skin as Chongyun desperately tried to calm himself down.
-A few kids came up to you with flowers and they babbled something about thanking you for helping them get their dolls back from the bad monsters before giggling and running off.
-Icy hues observed the situation and once again, he was reminded of how great a person you were. He knew from your letters that you liked to help out around the village but he didn't know it was to the extent that kids would come give you flowers.
-Warmth blossoms in his chest as he watches you smile at the kids. The way the wind blew your hair and how you gently pat the heads of the children made him smile like a fool.
-As you both continued to talk in your home, you failed to notice how late it was getting until the sounds of crickets chirping started. You asked Chongyun where he was staying and he was about to say something but nothing came out.
-"Ah...This is bad. I forgot that I didn't book a place to stay here..." (Because there were no inns (((:)
-'Archons, I'm so stupid' was probably what he was thinking at that moment.
-You tried to think of an idea but only one came to mind. Your palms sweated as you insisted that he stay with you in your house for the night. He tried to refuse but you were more adamant of not letting him sleep outside in the dangerous wilderness at night.
-With a huff, he accepted.
-One problem: The only place that was comfortable enough for sleep, (ie not the wooden chairs) was your bed. It's not like it was a tiny bed, but it was still flustering to be sharing the same bed! Especially since you're not dating like that or anything...! Even so, deep down you trusted Chongyun to not do anything.
-Jueyun Chili is the shade of red on your faces as you both lied down on the bed, you slowly turned over to meet his icy orbs looking at you before they averted away from your eyes.
-He was certainly free air-conditioning at the rate he was trying to cool hinself down. A soft laugh left your lips as you said goodnight before turning to face your back toward him.
-His heart stopped beating at a hundred miles per hour as he noticed that you were alseep. He, too was growing tired and closed his eyes to drift off into dreamland.
-Little did both of you know, that both of you would be awoken to the reality of your limbs tangled and arms wrapped around each other.
-あのん

10 Christmas Gifts ‘for her’ if you’re completely clueless
Since it's apparently time to start thinking about that time of year I thought I'd jump on and attempt to give you some help in an attempt to spark​ some ideas. Whether you're using this list for ideas for your other half, your mum or sister, or even if you are that person that likes something on this list why don't you send it over as a wee hint... the irony of this is that I've banned my boyfriend from looking at this list as there's a few spoilers on here for his gifts! (Hope he enjoys a wee eyeshadow palette😬).
So let’s start...
1. AIRPODS
I'm sure this will be a big gift this year and a perfect gift if you know they'll be getting a new phone or laptop! Perfect for a music lover or just the person that always needs to have the next big thing! I'd recommend planning to get a pair of these bad boys from Amazon or Currys during the Black Friday sale.
2. STUDIO LIGHT
A gift my mum got me unexpectedly a few years back and I haven't looked back. Not just for the MUA or photography student in your life but even just for every day make up application and I know my friends always use mine for checking their outfits or taking selfies before a night out! I've shown in the product photo how you can get a full sized one or a desk sized one easily on Amazon, your choice. Along this line would also be a Hollywood mirror, the big vanity mirrors with the bright lights installed but they can be hard to source as they're so popular and you need to make sure they're the bright studio lights. Top tip would just be to check the dimensions so you know what you're getting.
Tumblr media
3. POLAROID CAMERA
I wanna say this is a cult favourite. I don't know many girls who don't have one of these now but if your gift recipient is one of them then it'd be a great gift! They're a great idea for Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries because it means you can capture the memories and of course ironically take a photo of the polaroid with your phone and post it to Instagram!! They come in a variety of colours and you can purchase accessories and refillable polaroid packs for other special occasions after, making it the gift that keeps on giving.
Tumblr media
4. VINYL PLAYERS
Another gift that keeps on giving. If they're a real music lover and always have Spotify going in their room, and with the lack of concerts this year, this would be a very thoughtful gift. You can get these lads pretty cheap on Amazon or fork out for the pricey ones from UO. The only downside is that the actual Vinyl records themselves is where this gifts will cost you the most, but at least you'll always have an idea for next years present.
Tumblr media
5. FOREVER ROSES
Now these guys can be quite boujee and I remember them being really popular a few years ago. If you type 'forever roses' into google or, probably better yet, Instagram you'll get a lot of companies selling gift sets of these specially preserved roses that can last for years. An incredibly romantic and surprising gift, this one can cost you big bucks but if you shop around enough you can get single roses for around £20 or major bunches for a few hundred but it's sure to win you major brownie points.
Tumblr media
6. LUSH
This is the standard gift and perfect for a Christmas Eve bath. If you couldn't come up with this present on your own then please pay close attention to this blog because oh buddy you will need it! There are so many gift boxes to choose from at Lush and the great thing is you can't go wrong with any of them. Not to worry if you don't have a bath too because I also have you covered with these Lush sprays which are sooo good that you won't need to work out what their favourite perfume is for the third year in a row. (Also a great brand to support for its morals which is a bonus!!)
Tumblr media
7. BLANKETS
Not only perfect for those cosy Winter and lockdown nights but also a great home decor item that is so popular on Instagram! These massive knit blankets can get incredibly pricey online, ranging from 20ish quid for a tiny one to a few hundred for the massive ones, so if you're willing to pay that then go ahead but top tip is to have a look in Home Bargains because they had these guys in all year for £25 and even Primark Home had a few in recently but I'd get ahead of the game for this one before they sell out...
Tumblr media
8. JEWELLERY
Now I'm not a massive jewellery fan myself but some girls just go ga-ga for a princess ring. If you're wondering if your girlfriend/sister/daughter is one of them you can identify these people by their less-than-subtle 'just gonna post this here xx' social media posts sharing the Pandora sales. I know most boys get scared to choose jewellery in case the person 'doesn't like it' blah blah but chances are unless they've told you somethng they specifically want or you've been missing some massive hints (ie. ring photos 'accidentally' sent to you) then they'll appreciate literally anything you choose. It's the idea you've went and chosen something specifically for them more than the item itself that matters. If you like it, they'll like it more. The big site is Pandora and many sites like it will have 'Christmas Gift Guide' sections to make it super easy for you. Top tip: you could do a wee price low-high if this is just an add-on gift and although it's horrible to say they will most likely look it up and check how much you spent on it... sorry about that!
Tumblr media
9. EYESHADOW PALETTE
Now this is one you will most likely skip over because it feels like delving into a massive jungle with no map and no water and actually no shoes and no clue whatsoever of where to start. That's what boys feel like trying to buy girls make up and I really can't blame you. In fact, if you haven't been told exactly what to buy then who could blame you but if you're really looking to impress and go the extra mile and know they like make up then I'm going to attempt to help you as best I can and try and keep it really simple! So, first of all you'll need to somehow have a look at their collection when they're getting ready or be super stealthy and just double check they don't have the palette you're going to get them.
This is important. Right, so question one is do they watch YouTubers do make up? Because if they do then simply find out who they watch and check if that influencer has a palette or collab with a makeup brand because then your job is done for you!! If they've told you all about the James Charles/Tatti/Jefree Starr drama that encapsulated YouTube in the past then find out who's side they support because all three of those guys have palettes! James Charles x Morphe Artistry palette, Tatti has her own brand, or if they came out supporting Jeffree Starr and Shane Dawson in the whole fiasco then the Jeffree Starr 'Conspiracy palette' is for you. To each their own. These two main palettes I've featured on the left below for you to have a look at.
The top right palette is the new HUDA Beauty Naughty Nude palette and it's the one I'd go for if you're really unsure still! It's a new release so doubtful they have it and there's no crazy colours so can be used by everyone. It would be my top recommendation for make up this Christmas.
The three below that are all YouTuber/Influencer collabs with makeup brands that have been pretty popular this year. From the left: BPerfect x Stacey Marie Carnival III Love Tahiti Palette is one to get if you know they love doing colourful and adventurous looks, middle: Carli Bybel Palette x Anastasia Beverly Hills and far right: BPerfect x Jah Makeup Artist Clientele Palette are both perfect for more simple looks or if they don't go wild with colour and are both from big brands so will be very much appreciated!
God, this really could have been its own post where I explained it a bit better but alas...
Tumblr media
10. HAIR CURLERS/WAVER
Maybe they're not as into makeup and prefer hair, or maybe they just love both? Then a Beauty Works hair styler would be a boujee gift for them. So, for this you can do the standard version of the products (gold) or you can do the newer versions in the collab with Molly Mae (pink). It's up to you. These products are pricey but great quality. First is the hair curler (Professional styler) which is great if both you and they love their hair curly, and you can't go wrong with Molly Mae's signature bouncy curls. The second option is a new trend in hair his year, The Waver, which creates the mermaid waves that I've pictured Molly Mae wearing below (and yes boys they’re different than curls) and a great gift if they already have the curler. Top tip: is to get these lads while ASOS have 20% off because you're grabbing yourself a bargain or if you're really on a budget many brands do these products without the hefty price tag.
Tumblr media
BONUS: GIFT ADVENT CALENDER
This year there is a major boom in the idea of gift advent calendars, so behind every door is a small gift instead of chocolate. Now what would be super adorable is to buy advent boxes online and fill them yourself with personalised gifts but luckily many brands have brought out their own versions! The best one I have saw so far this year is this PrettyLittleThing beauty calendar but it has been sold out for some time now! ASOS etc. are doing their own versions and there have even been adorable versions in the likes of HomeBargains and B&Ms where you can get candle or even alcohol versions.
Tumblr media
Well, I hope this helped even a little bit! If you're really on the ball you'll have noticed I haven't included anything like the staple Primark pyjamas or everything seems catered towards girlfriends or 'for her' but not to worry I've many more versions planned, including 'for him', 'on a budget', and 'how to dress up your present'!
Happy (very early) Christmas!🎁🎄
