hello do you have an article from like a Respectable Source ™️ on hand about the exploitation of native Hawaiians? I'm trying to radicalize my lib mom on it and I can't find a solid overview.
it can definitely be a Long Read, I just want it to cover the colonialist history, the land theft, and the ongoing human rights abuses to support tourism like the fucked land grant program and the water rationing and stuff. I'm probably only gonna be able to get her to read one
"FROM A NATIVE DAUGHTER: COLONIALISM AND SOVEREIGNTY IN HAWAII" by Dr. Haunani Kay Trask is a good place to start.
"a provocative, well-reasoned attack against the rampant abuse of Native Hawaiian rights, institutional racism, and gender discrimination...the master plan of the Native Hawaiian self-governing organization Ka Lahui Hawai'i and its platform on the four political arenas of sovereignty; the 1989 Hawai'i declaration of the Hawai'i ecumenical coalition on tourism; and a typology on racism and imperialism."
its a book that everyone should read as it only rings more true as the years pass by.
but honestly if you just search up "books on the exploitation of native hawaiians" you're sure to find ones with lots of history and info (ones written by indigenous scholars are the way to go ofc).
i dont have any overarching articles on hand that cover everything but im sure local news sources will have past articles on specific issues if u search on them:
Honolulu Civil Beat
Hawaii News Now
i get most my info & updates from kānaka maoli & groups i follow on social media, but they usually have links to local articles where they get their info from. Some groups on instagram (that are also on twitter) that bring awareness to current events (like the fight to protect Mauna Kea from developers, the Red Hill navy fuel spill crisis, housing crisis across Hawaiʻi, struggle for native indigenous water rights, & protecting ʻāina) are:
AlohaAdvocacy
ʻĀina Momona
Kaʻohewai
Puʻuhuluhulu
these are only a few... check who they follow for more advocacy groups if youre interested.
also @tf2mobilegame had a few articles about the high cost of living in Hawaiʻi on their original post. i used to have a video saved about the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and how messed up it is (underfunded + slow rollout + native families have been on the list to get their ancestral lands back for DECADES but will not be home owners in their generation + 50% native blood quantum requirement) but i think it got deleted. if i find it i will link it here. but heres an article about the shit houses DHHL provided to native hawaiians who were finally able to get housed.
Dancette Yockman, just one out of 28,000 native hawaiians on the DHHL waitlist, who has been waiting 50 years for a piece of land to call her own.
lastly:
heres a MUTUAL AID post with donation links you can save, reblog, & donate to.
heres more links to PETITIONS & places to donate to help local organizations protect hawaiian land.
The Price of Paradise is another place to donate reparations to create grants for Native Hawaiian businesses, non-profits, families, & individuals.
TLDR; read From a Native Daughter by Dr. Haunani Kay Trask to start. Mahalo & Fa'afetai lava to anyone who shares or adds onto this!

sue tries to get her life in order, pt 1
(screams)
This is mostly just me getting vague thoughts and hazy plans on paper and processing better; not necessarily imperative to anyone. I'm kinda getting repetitive at this point BUT I've found some footing. so after this I'll start to tackle more personal things like hygiene, time management--basically things within my bubble
DRAWLING TIME
with that out of the way.
I'm still organizing my feed, who I'm following, and so on. so hopefully, I'll interact more down the road! I have yet to really be checking others' pages...for now :3 and of course, organizing tags/cw/info/so on. any likes/follows/related are going to show up as @suedraws.
speaking of, debating how I want to handle that. honestly, with how little my art account has overall, it might be best to start fresh with a new account; it's hard to decide how and where I want to separate my personal and professional artist self.
the other one that i might possibly use more is @ladykopaka; at this point I'm not really interested in involving myself with the community at large. friends and some groups are exceptions. also have this be a location for my Chasing Stars project
so then that leaves here, @suedrawl. besides being casual/personal use, trying to hype myself up to do some form of blogging and writing. i have an entire actual blog i'd like to use for those reasons.(suedrawl.blog)
finally, while nothing is planned yet--I did create @thepurplenote \o/ (and did invite some folks to use it too!)
still observing how twitter is going to pan out. i'd love to use Instagram more, but it can be a bit draining/overstimulating (even if it's mostly good vibes and love keeping up with friends). facebook is...kinda just there lmao; mostly to see photos of my nephews and nieces, and annoy the hell out of old family friends who are borderline trump-supporters. DeviantArt? No. Otherwise, that leaves Artstation, but that's strictly more business minded. I know everyone is trying things like Mastadon (I recommend it tbh) or pillowfort. I don't really have much time or energy to do those; maybe in the future (keep me updated, always willing to try things)
discord is sorta its entirely own thing--i mostly lurk (love stealing those emojis) in big servers. there are a couple I'm in of friends (gosh i feel bad i need to say hi more). but most of my energy is focused at The Purple Note/friends there. At the end of the day it's my responsibility, and I will continue to maintain it and be mom friend/support all yall wonderful, loving, supportive nerds. Never hesitate to contact me, no matter what time or day. while I'm working on better handling my server mum powers, it's still an important promise to keep of sorts.
Okay, I was about to write up a thing on me Sucking Hard at One to One Chats, but that's just gunna go in its own blog post. BUT TO STATE: I am never ever bothered by good friends, even if I forget to reply. If I have an issue, I will address it. Usually, I'm more than happy to initiate, but I am going to take a step back from that for a bit. But also this is not a sign that you have to or that I will take offense if it's quiet. I'm not usually a person that "needs" interaction from others, rather what gives me purpose is how I can give. It's kinda confusing tho and I'm still trying to understand what I want and need. Thank you for your patience lmao.
if anyone has questions, advice, so on, yell at me! while I'm embracing my solitary needs, I still enjoy all this for many reasons. I'm hoping this can be a jumping point to now face other challenges and obstacles
love u all smooch thank u for reading if you did XD

I have a doll eye question, if i were to introduce someone to doll eye, how do you think i should do it? i could let them in blind, but there's already a TON of information out there... not just including your toyhou se. should i let them see that first? or along side? there's alot of stuff out there that are like "spoilers" i guess in terms of the story of the game. there's alot of info out there, but alot of people are going in with it as well? is that okay? i dunno... what do u think?
I think the best way to experience it would be to go into the game blindly!
And perhaps, later on, checking the stuff on my youtube channel, and twitter/instagram/tumblr as an extra, nothing necessary at all! But it's there if anyone wants a little bit of more content
Going too far back might lead to story confusion - everything outside the game itself should be taken with a grain of salt, especially if it's older content. I think the safer line is stuff from late 2020 on

Whisper Drinkers: No More Words
Tumblr media
Image used with permission from the lovely and fantastically talented Cody Darkstalker! Go check out her gorgeous collection on her Twitter, Instagram and Onlyfans!
[pov: anygirl, femdom, undead but sweet, nsfw, hypnosis, fantasy, intelligence reduction, pet play, headpats, leghumping, consensual, but you know maybe don’t actually drain your partner’s thoughts without asking them irl idk you should tell them if you’re a vampire thing that drinks words is all I’m saying]
"U-Um, so, so maybe I'm talking too much," Ami whimpered, as the mysterious woman next to her on the bed reached over, took her by the hand, and began to delicately caress it, running long and slender fingertips over Ami's palm and smiling slyly up at her, "it's just th-that I'm, um, well, see, I've never—never had anyone in my room before, is all."
The raven-haired beauty smiled up at her, hearts dotting her cheeks like freckles, luscious lips parted in a tempestuous pout. Her pretty jewelry caught the room’s rosy light so dazzlingly. So glamorous and glimmery...
Ami squirmed and barely held in a squeak as the woman beamed and scooted a little closer. She reached up and affectionately stroked Ami's cheek.
Then her hand slipped down to tug at the neckline of Ami's modest blouse.
"Oh!" Ami bit her lip, excitement trickling through her almost as fast as the red rushing to her cheeks. "I-I mean, well, see, of course I—" Her voice nearly broke as she felt her hand being guided to the woman's breast, guided to rest there, to gently feel the softness of the woman's skin, such a pretty hue of rosy-pink in the light.
"—it's not my room, of course," she corrected, cheeks burning, wiggling as the woman started undoing buttons on the blouse, undressing her even as she babbled. Why can’t I stop talking? Please, gods, let me stop talking.
"I mean, it is, because—well, I paid f-for the room, it's an inn, obviously. It's just tha—<i>aaaaat</I>—" She practically mewled as she felt her blouse being tugged away, as the woman leaned in even closer, and she breathed in that sweet minty perfume. Oh, fuck, this lady smelled so... so nice...
"Just that," she panted, but her words were scattering to the winds as those soft, luscious, pouty lips settled on her neck and began to kiss slowly, sweetly, indulgently across her skin, "just that, um, I mean, I-I've... I've, um... never..."
She felt a hand on her side, and without thinking, Ami allowed herself to be steered so she could be pushed back onto the bed.
Her head settled onto the pillow, and she was squirming and blushing and whimpering as she now felt the mysterious woman's cool, plush weight on her, pinning her to the bed, as those lips smacked indulgently along her neck and jawline. "... n-never," she whimpered, marveling at the softness of the breast as she squeezed and fondled it, "never... with..."
She trailed off into a moan as those wonderful kisses reached the sensitive spot where her neck met her shoulders, as her sensible bra was undone to join the blouse beneath her.
Her head was starting to feel so... so bubbly. So fizzy. She actually giggled as she felt the woman's fingers running through her hair, stroking her with the utmost gentleness. "Oh, um, g-gosh," she gasped, wriggling, "you're... p-petting me l-like I'm s-some kind of... um... um... umm..."
Kitten. Puppy. Bunny. Pet. Silly girl who needs to be comforted and soothed. She struggled to form the words, desperate to fill the silence, but no sooner had the thoughts bubbled up into her mind than they were gone. She blinked dazedly, bubbles popping throughout her fizzy pink mind.
The kisses paused. The woman pulled up and blinked innocently down at her, parting those soft, kissable lips in a seductive pout.
Ami stared up into those eyes. Stared at those lips. A little whimper escaped her, but she found she didn’t... didn’t quite know what to say right now.
But even as she was given a brief reprieve from the kisses, Ami squirmed, feeling some... other attentions getting a lot more pronounced. That other hand was not being idle. Long, slender, delicate fingers ran over her breasts, groping, fondling, stroking in dainty spirals around her nipples.
Ami shivered. Even more tantalizingly, the strange woman's knee was placed right between Ami's thighs so... so perfectly, and the thought occurred to her that it would be so easy to just kind of... grind...
Her words melted away, and she giggled, quite forgetting exactly what she'd been trying to say. "Th-This feels... nice..." she mumbled, as more bubbles of pink pleasure popped in her mind, as she found herself grinding more and more overtly, unable to remember why she would ever hold back.
She let out a moan, and oh, gods, moaning felt so good... so much better than talking...
The woman smiled and cooed her pleasure with Ami, one of the first sounds, Ami realized dumbly, she'd heard the woman make so far. And then she forgot why this was strange, because the lady’s voice was so pretty, and knowing her lover was pleased just made Ami want to grind and hump harder as those kisses returned to her neck, her breasts, so soft and sweet and indulgent, and Ami mewled and whined happily.
She could no longer remember much of anything, actually, aside from feeling good. She humped the strange woman's leg like a wifwolf in heat, moaning and panting, because why would she need to babble and prattle when she could be making cute horny noises like those that seemed to please the woman so well?
She beamed and cooed and wriggled happily as the woman rose up slightly, those glowing crimson eyes shining like twin sunsets, so pretty, so happy with Ami.
Ami was being a good girl, Ami knew, even if her lover couldn't say it. And that realization was the sweetest feeling of all.
And Ami giggled and squealed and bounced and ground against the leg as she came, came under her skirt like a good girl, and made even more adorable noises in the process.
She was panting, red-faced, gasping for breath. She was drowning in the pink mist. Drifting in the fizzy pink bubbles.
But... she was still horny, she realized dimly, even in afterglow.
So, so horny.
She stared up into those bright lights and smiled dreamily as her beautiful pale lover leaned down for the softest of kisses, the stranger’s lips pillowy and fulsome, her own sighs of bliss impossibly faint but sending Ami into a daze of pleasure.
Ami wrapped her arms around her lover and moaned into the kiss, and happily allowed her inner thoughts to dissolve, for a time, into pure, sweet nothings.
The pale woman no longer felt cold. But maybe Ami was just blushing hot enough for the both of them now.
~ ~ ~ ~
Whisper drinkers are a rare and unusual form of vampire that drink not blood, or cum, or milk, but words themselves. Said to arise from those who died lost to their own worries and anxieties, the whisper drinker is often considered a benevolent spirit, as far as any of the Dead can be described as such. They are often drawn to the worried, tired or anxious, and with their kisses, they slowly ease the thoughts away, granting their lovers a brief reprieve, comfort and affection.
Spirit Rangers consider whisper drinkers to be very low-priority targets, though it is something of a controversial subject whether whisper drinkers truly understand what they are doing. Some argue that the whisper drinker acts as a nearly elemental being, purely occupied with her instincts, and cares nothing for those she lies with. Others, particularly those who form relationships with the mute undead, claim that there is far greater complexity to the whisper drinker than anyone truly understands.

Kevin Day and his Oblivious Literature Lover, pt.IV
In times of college finals, aftg is my coping mechanism of predilection. hope it helps some :)
>> Table of Contents,TW and other parts here!
i’ll let you guess what Kevin and Juliet chose for their project
oh, yes
the letters of Hamilton, Eliza and John + Hamilton: The Musical
i will fight you on this
at first, when Juliet suggests it, Kevin stares at her so hard bc really?? a musical??
but then she lends him the 50$ leatherbound official book of the musical (you know the navy blue and beige one? you know what i’m talking about, right?) and reads it all in one evening and wow
lin-manuel miranda? genius. ron chernow? Genius. alexander hamilton? Dumb Genius.
oh yeah and Juliet? Absolutely mind-blowing genius.
as Andrew & Neil grow closer and the match agaisnt the Ravens rounds the corner, Kevin finds himself looking more and more forward to the time spent at the library with Juliet
she is just so focused on their project and so oblivious as who he really is and doesn’t really care if sometimes he is more anxious, if freaks over everything to be perfect, if he babbles on&on&on&on about any bit of history he discovered
she’s just there, smirking, stiffling her laughs and asking for more
they’ve exhanged phone numbers and she installed snapchat on his, and although he never sends her anything, she always has a short video and a funny caption that pop up from time to time; they’re that little reminder that the world goes on outside of exy and that he exists outside of exy
she introduces him to funny videos and he didn’t know absolute dumb shit could make him snort??
his favorite is the peanut butter baby
at first the Foxes give him this judgemental look when he ugly-snorts in the locker room or at Eden’s, but eventually they just get that glint in their eyes as if they were in on the jokes
sometimes, Juliet’s so focused on writing down bullet points in her notebook, peeling the skin off her lips, so unaware of Kevin’s personal hell of a life, that he just wants to spill out everything
although he’s not sure if it’s because he wants her to know him and stay, or because he wants her to reject him and therefore spare himself the trouble of getting attached...
she takes the decision for him
on a Thursday afternoon, on their planned study session, she doesn’t show up
she doesn’t answer her phone either
he even tries out a completely blacked out snap with “r u alive?” in caption
no answer
he gives her space, sending her occasional cat videos he thoroughly researches
if she watches them, she doesn’t say anything
on Monday afternoon, she doesn’t come to class
that’s when the panic Kevin’s been reigning in just... bursts
what if it’s Riko? 
what if it’s the Master?
what if it’s Ichirou?
what if, somehow, it’s the Butcher’s people?
that afternoon’s practice is hell for the Foxes, Kevin is ruthless and an asshole and very agressive
Dan waits for him outside the boys’ locker room as all the other Foxes leave (not even Andrew and Neil want to wait for him)
“Spit out your goddamn problem before I tell Coach to bench you next game”
oh, how Kevin wants to cuss her out
and then he looks  at her face, ready to vomit words, when he sees her worrying her lips
just like Juliet
it shouldn’t be enough to make him tear up, but it does
he still manages to keep as much of the truth to himself as he possibly can
“My EAL partner isn’t responding to my messages or my calls and she didn’t even come to class today and it stresses me the fuck out and what if it’s like with Neil, Dan?” he says in one breath, trying to tear out the net of his racket
Dan recomposes her face and gets that very serious look, the one she usually gets when someone touches her family
“It’s not, Kevin. That’s over. We got Neil back, we got you back, you got Jean back. The team didn’t even know who that person was. The most info we’ve gathered is what you just told me now. Yeah there are some bets but it’s mostly for funsies, nothing even remotely serious. You wanna look for her?” she soothes him.
“I don’t even know...”
“She lives on campus?” she asks.
“I don’t- I don’t know, Dan. I spent months with her and I can’t even vaguely say where she lives! How fucked up is that?” Kevin yells.
“It’s not even remotely fucked up, Kevin. You should know that. Does she have instagram? twitter? Or like, facebook?” she questions some more.
“God, I don’t know. She only sends me stupid fucking videos and I never even respond like the goddamn asshole I am...”
“Shut up. We’re all assholes at the end of the road, ‘kay? You ain’t better or worse than others. Now she sends them to you in text or somewhere else?”
“Sometimes texts... Sometimes the yellow app, the chat one. Why.”
“Oh great, that’s great. We can locate her, with snapchat, if she forgot to turn off the sharing. And if you’re comfortable with that, too. I know you’re not a creep like that. You’re creepy sometimes, don’t get me wrong. But, not a creep.”
“Gee, thanks, Dan.”
“Hey, shush. You down or what?” she says, arching an eyebrow.
“Okay,” he answers, unable to make the fear go away without knowing for sure.
And so it turns out Juliet’s location is, in fact, knowable. Dan grabs one of Kevin’s shoulders as he leaves the court, squeezing her affection into her grip; he nods emotionally in her direction, as far as emotions can translate unto his face.
he doesn’t even know what he’ll do once he finds her, his brain is solely focused on the animated map that brings him closer and closer to Juliet
the more he progresses, the more he realizes he is far from Fox Tower, on a campus area he has never even seen
he stops before a decrepit building, old and moldy-looking
Jackie Kennedy Hall
student dorms? this shabby? she can’t possibly live-
except that she can, because there isn’t another building close and the map has brought him here, and he doesn’t really know her...
so Kevin straightens his shoulders, inhales deeply, and goes inside
he could go on and on and on about everything that is just wrong with the place, from the smell to the decoration, but he makes a beeline for the front desk (he’s lucky there’s even one)
he asks for a way to contact someone, flashes his press smile at the women behind the desk, gives up his ID in exchange for the room number
Juliet Grier, 418
stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs
heavy door, right, 412, 414, 416...
418
what, now?
Kevin hesitantly knocks once, twice
no answer
he knocks again and decides to speak up, in case she didn’t hear
“Juliet? It’s Kevin. Day. From EAL? Can I speak with you?”
still nothing
maybe she isn’t home... no, the map says she’s here. maybe she’s sleeping...
he decides to try one last time
“We really should finish that project, you know? I think we could both use the free time...” he says without his heart into it.
without surprise, no response still
he decides to take a loose paper from his sachel and writes down some words
Greetings Hi,
My friend Dan helped me look for you, but you don’t have to worry about your privacy; it’s because of the yellow app. You should turn that off if you don’t want other people to be nosy. 
You weren’t in class today. I’ll share my notes if you want them. But, you should come to class, it’s better. For learning. 
I’ll wait a few in case you’re asleep. 
Text me or call me or whatever when you’re ready.
- Kevin D. (your partner from EAL)
quick, efficient, to the point
Kevin slips the paper under the door, and waits
he refreshes the map too many times, to see if her location changed or if somehow there was a glitch
it stays put
he ends up sitting on the hallway floor, his back sliding down the wall
he catches up on a book for another class, checks exy stats and watches many, many videos of Jeremy Knox on the court and in interview
some students pass him with a nasty look, eyeing the lack of earphones on his phone
some other students walk by him and will themselves to keep going, because holy shit it’s Kevin Day in Jackie Hall
it’s at least an hour and a half before the doorknob slowly and quietly starts to click
Kevin was absorbed deep into whatever move Knox was making before scoring
the 418 door opens
Kevin gets up in one move, all things Jeremy Knox and exy forgotten
she’s loosely holding Kevin’s paper in one hand, the other clutching a large scarf that covers up the majority of her body
from what he can see, though, she’s wearing sweats from head to toe; her hair’s tied on the top of her head, but most of the curls escaped and it looks unwashed and her curls, dry
her skin’s turned pale, dark circles under her eyes, a haggard look in them, her cheeks stained with dry tears
Juliet looks terrible
“Hi...” Kevin attempts
she finally looks up from the paper and gives him a bored look that could rival Andrew’s
with a rough voice strained from cries and many days without speaking, she asks, “My EAL partner?”
“Well, yes. In case.”
“In case of what.”
“I-”
“I know who you are, Kevin.”
and isn’t that both his most ardent wish and his worse fear?
with that, she turns around and goes back to her dark room, leaving the door open behind her
is that... an invitation?
Kevin’s never been to another person’s place, apart from the Columbia house, Abby’s and Wymack’s
he reminds himself why he came in the first place and decides it would be a waste to leave now, right?
the small studio is a mess, much like its occupant
there are clothes everywhere, on the floor, on a chair, on the bed, on the desk
all the curtains are drawn, no light is on, the only source coming from Juliet’s laptop somewhere amongst her bedsheets
it’s like she made herself a nest and hasn’t moved from there for a long time
maybe even since last Monday, the last time he saw her
Kevin doesn’t understand the scene he has before his eyes
he’s never seen such apathy in someone that is not Andrew
and at this point, apathy is pretty much Andrew’s default state of being
not Juliet’s
Juliet is a soft glow, toothy grins, wild curls, countless jumpers, dumb jokes and references, color-coded notes, an organized mind, unwavering focus and determination, flowing words and warm, kind eyes...
so what is this?
then Kevin realizes he spoke aloud
and Juliet can only chuckle sadly, almost mockingly
“This? This is why I don’t have friends. This is why I don’t mix with people. This is why I’ll never amount to anything in life. This is my dirty laundry, both metaphorically and literally. This is it. That’s... That’s it. This is what I get,” she answers flatly
Kevin’s mind is spinning
he doesn’t understand
he needs to understand, though
“Explain it to me,” he says
Juliet looks at him like a brick just hit him on the head and made him speak Swedish
“Why.”
“Because, surely there’s a way to work with it.”
she laughs
it doesn’t reach her eyes, nor her lips or her cheeks
it’s just a desperate sound
it makes him think of Andrew again
and that gives him an idea, a gut feeling, if you will
“Can I try something out?” he asks
“Kevin... I can’t- I’m tired... It’s not a good idea... I’m tired, Kevin,” Juliet responds, pain noticeable in her voice and her movements slow
“I know, I- I know. Someone I know... He plays this game. It’s really not a game, it’s more like a communication thing. He calls it “A Truth for a Truth”.  In exchange for something I tell you, you tell me something. And in exchange for something you tell me, I’ll tell you something else. It’s made me... work through some things... before,” Kevin explains calmly
Juliet keeps on observing him from her bed, silent
“Look, can I just stay here to do homework? I have nowhere to go right now,” Kevin asks, almost blurting out “Please” before Andrew’s ghost caught it in his throat
she lies back down, burries herself in her covers, a silent “yes”
Kevin ends up falling asleep sitting on the floor, books open, head resting at the end of Juliet’s bed
he wakes up around 2 AM
he’s got multiple texts from Aaron and Nicky, one from Andrew, and one from Dan
“told everybody you spent the night at Coach’s. take care.”
he silently vows to thank her later
now he either really goes to Wymack’s to finish his night there, or... he stays exactly where he is
Juliet is still sleeping soundly
in a haze, he palms for a pillow or cushion, pulls his hoodie on and lies back down on the carpeted floor
he’s only awaken in the late morning when he brutally gets stepped on
“What the shit?? Kevin! How...???” Juliet yells
“Um, ow? No, no, don’t apologize so quickly. You just, you know, crushed my lungs and a couple of ribs, no worries, Jules!” Kevin groans
“Ju- you know what? I’m not sorry. Right now I gotta pee, so you better have a damn good explanation when I get back,” she replies and leaves her room to go to the bathroom at the end of the hall
instead of dread, Kevin feels calm about the upcoming conversation
he doesn’t prepare lies, doesn’t run away, doesn’t resort to assholery
he just stays put where he is on the floor, snuggles deeper into his hoodie, and waits for relief, for the truth
he waits for Juliet

*   //   𝙻𝙾𝙰𝙳𝙸𝙽𝙶  𝙿𝚁𝙾𝙵𝙸𝙻𝙴 …   /𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝙼𝙰𝙽/𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙳𝙸𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽 : umeko saito, also known as hermes, is wanted for grand larceny. she is a twenty two year old female who has ties to the mastermind because of a charity event she was the face of.   𝙰𝚂𝚂𝙾𝙲𝙸𝙰𝚃𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙸𝚃𝙷  : expensive fancy dresses, flirty stares from across the room, signing with red lipstick, a glass of champagne with diamonds in it. 𝙳𝙾 𝙽𝙾𝚃 𝙼𝙸𝚂𝚃𝙰𝙺𝙴 𝙵𝙾𝚁  : minatozaki sana.
01.    background info.
pinterest board ─── umeko saito, twenty two, up-and-coming actress, doesn’t like to label her orientation, would definitely be part of cherry twitter
full list of aesthetics so far ( core to what shaped her ) : eating fruit on a balcony in your silk pyjamas, signing with red lipstick, strap of your dress snapping, flirty stares from across the room, a glass of champagne with diamonds in it, cherries seductively held between lips, expensive fancy dresses
umeko was born and raised into one of the most expensive neighborhoods in manhattan, daughter to a magnate and a socialité nobody thought would get too far together. luxury was the norm from the get go, and the low profile kept by her parents didn’t quite make their name go unnoticed among the elite of new york. summers were spent in the hamptons and on expensive trips, walk-in wardrobe stranger to everything below high-end and glasses of champagne coming in early
stardom was always in the back of her head. she loves being the center of attention, all eyes on her for as long as she can attrack them, and so the hunger only grew bigger the older she got. in her young, twisted mind, there wasn’t anything more eternal than the ineradicable link between character and actor, and she loves playing the role. the first real taste of fame came only a few years ago, and it became insatiable almost insantly. she’s been on the rise ever since and has scored quite a few big roles to be proud of
j came into the picture at a point in umeko’s life where she was having fun, but it wasn’t enough. something more exciting, more thrilling was missing. and so they met at a charity event where rich people feel like they’re contributing something to society by bidding big money for famous paintings where umeko was one of the faces of said event. she did not hesitate to join him. after all, it makes her feel like she’s playing an even bigger, more dangerous role
her code name has a lot to do with her as a person ! as a lil taste before getting to it, initially, it was going to be loki, the most infamous trickster, but she felt it gave too much away too fast, and although she felt it was the perfect code name, she opted for someone whose trickster label got overshadowed by more important duties, and so it came to be hermes, who, in a way, is also perfect for her
02.    personality breakdown.
umeko is........ an experience. she may be fun she may be chaotic
umeko saito’s biggest role is life itself, and she will die a legend or risk becoming a fraud. she was born yearning for attention, and she was born a trickster. she has always been manipulative, loved fooling and playing with people and twisting the narrative of herself, enamouring ( trapping ) others, a strange desire to be the dream girl. and she took it upon herself to make the world her personal stage. and maybe she has played the role for so long she has lost a bit of herself on the way, who knows !
everybody’s sweetheart, looks like a saint ─── yet is the devil holding a halo above their head. she loves to stir shit up, always up to something. won’t hesitate to create a scene if it’s needed, asked of her or solely because she’s bored. a lot of her boils down to being, getting bored. she’s a bit batshit, a bit unhinged <3
umeko is flirty. she likes to flirt, it’s fun, it’s another way to fool people, it’s entertaining, it feeds onto this being the girl of people’s dreams thing. it gets her things and opens ways for her, and she thrives off getting people hooked on her, specially men who think they got a chance with her ( they don’t )
she acts like a bimbo and surely looks like it but may not be one. or maybe she is. she could be a baby bimbo. an oblivious bimbo who plays the role of bimbo in real life. you decide because i can’t JKDGVDS
she’s dramatic to the v bone in more ways than one, loves bringing attention to herself and playing dumb, playing clumsy, an airhead, and she’s a bit of everything ( dumb, clumsy, airhead ), but she knows how to exaggerate it to her gain. u won’t catch her calling herself any of that tho
there really isn’t a big scheme, a big story, a trauma behind umeko’s behavior, some people are simply born certain way and she thrives off being this antagonistic, trickster being just because
03.    headcanons.
she lives by herself in a duplex penthouse located on the top floor somewhere in manhattan, she bought it with her first big paycheck. she also has a smaller ( to...... her standards ) apartment she got for her 18th birthday from her parents, and it’s where she takes flings or people who aren’t that close to her as not to disclose her real home
she’s the type to break the strap of her dress before walking out of a store with paparazzis waiting outside for her and pose like she’s marilyn monroe fighting against a burst of air with her white dress, and she’s like “omg no ! the strap of my snapped ! what to do ! don’t take pics or maybe do aha x”
most definitely checks tabloids and stuff after she pulls one of those numbers to grab attention so she can see the reactions And the pics. also probably has a neat instagram feed
she’s the epitome of “all girls do is 🥺🥺🥺🥺” and “girls always trynna ‘🥺🥺🥺‘ their way out of everything”. that’s her
loves cute two pieces pyjamas. silk ones, velvet ones, lace ones, and especially the see-through robes with fur you pair up with cute lingerie and pieces. when at home she’s usually in those, long robe big fur glass of wine in hand, and if not she’s wearing an expensive baddie dress she has no business wearing for no reason
she enjoys dating on and off, having flings, random sex. usually nothing too serious and without too many strings to get tangled in. would she be able to commit ? yes, probably, she daydreams about it sometimes, but it wouldn’t be so easy
despite umeko’s passion for creating a scene and stirring up the pot, she isn’t mean, nor is she someone who is found in conflicts or fights often, if at all. she tends to get along well with everyone ─── she’s playful, a bit crazy, and fairly outgoing. she’s nice despite all her antics. but there is one person that brings out the worst of her, though: nandy freda richardson, fellow new york city socialité with a shared feud going twenty years strong ! they have known each other since they were little and it has kept escalating ever since 💔 it ranges from petty, insignificant antics to more serious, real shit stuff. the catalyst ? nandy somehow managing to make umeko lose a minor role on a small movie she was really anticipating. umeko’s response ? selling her out to aspen when he came asking for more intel on rich people he could rob: she gave him all the information he needed, carefully crafted a foolproof plan then gifted aspen an all - expenses luxury vacation to a destination of his choice <3 umeko was like yeah ? ok i lose my role and you lose your safety money and that one of a kind dress i wanted aha x
when she was sixteen her then boyfriend cheated on her with some chick. the lad pulled the infamous move of playing single and messing with the girl’s heart, so she was unaware of their relationship and was left as mortified as umeko. umeko, though, felt humiliated and, above everything, disrespected, and she also felt for the other girl who was just as much a victim as herself. so umeko made sure he regretted even thinking of disgracing their worth and set for revenge: over the span of a few years she snatched five consecutive girlfriends, one after the other <3 she also kept a good relationship with the girl he cheated on her with

Connected world: Hyper or over-connected?PROs and CONs
Are we too much into it or we are the winners in all this?
What is exactly Hyper-connected?
This is very interesting because we are all into it in a way , literally we are “always ON’’. What do I mean with that? Guys let’s be real, we are spending most of our time on the web, browsing, watching funny videos, photos, and just go with the flow. Right? You share with your friends, constantly making connections with others through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any of the social media. We transfer information one to another. Hyper-connected is all that and much more. Canadian social scientists Anabel Quan-Haase first invented the term Hyperconnectivity, she was referring to her studying about multiple means of communications by email, instant messaging, and telephone. It basically means, the usage of all sorts of systems and devices that connect you to social media or other sources of information. In 2020, we are safe to say that we are hyper-connected!! Nowadays people do so much more through their smartphones. People are using them basically for everything, but let’s see which are the PROs and witch are the CONs in all that and how we can navigate the digital world more safely … and maybe even earn online.  
Tumblr media
Okay, let’s talk about the PROs in this hyper-connected digital world. I’m going to give you a few examples that are most useful for me. here we go…
 o    The PROs:
-          Using online platforms and social media really helps us find and interact with people who have the same interests as us!
-          We can find information about anything! Not just find, but also to share and help each other!
-          Managing almost everything through apps on your phone!
-          Having control over your finance, online payments, and basically access to every data you need!
-          Doing something you love and make it go viral has never been as easy as it now!
Okay, we see few of the thing that we use on a  daily basis in our lives and they can be very useful. Great!!
Tumblr media
Now let’s see what is the negative part of all this. Keep in mind that I am a supporter of the digital world , but I’m going to be objective.
o    The CONs:
-          With all this new world in our phones that we explore, we forget sometimes that we live in the real world. We need to be more into nature itself because that’s how we were created!!
-           The info on the web is usually very valuable but you can easily get lost   and be fooled. Be careful who you TRUST online!!
-          Shopping online has never been easy. But yet again, you can always come across some fraud and be deceived. Once again be careful!
-          Having control over your life and finance on your phone is super. But if you don’t use the right source of information, we can fall in some traps along the way. It’s super important to get educated before you start to use some futures.
 OVERALL, EVERTHING IS UP TO YOU!!
 As you can see for yourself, hyper-connection can a lot of time be a little bit over-connection. It’s good to be connected to the world and your friends around you, but on the other hand, we have to be careful and be more familiar with the digital world itself. Paying online and having a blast with apps for everything on our phones is cool, but you need to be
careful “not to drink the cold water” (if you know what I mean).  
  Tips and hints: How to make better decisions
Tumblr media
I have some practical tips that I can give you so you can Stay on the     bright side.For Example, just a few days go, I was searching for a solution on how to pay my bills online and also manage my money from my phone. I start to search for what the banks are offering. Most of them have online banking like a Raiffeisen. But for me they are way too heavy, they have fees every mouth (even if you don’t use it) and it’s always complicated. For me, this is not a solution. I start to search more about mobile payments and apps that can provide that. Of course, I stumble upon a lot of them. You see how that can be confusing because there has a lot of opinions, you can choose from. For that, reason always check the The complete list of fees and limits and the comments below. If you like something do a little research, ask you, friends, about it (but not too much they can confuse you even more). Finally, what is important for what you are going to use it. Don’t buy or take something that is useless for you just because somebody else recommended it to you.
   Found a solution
Tumblr media
Anyway, finally, I stopped on an app that works for me!
The name of the application was iCard. I selected it for a couple of reasons. First, I see the comments and the rate (both were very trustworthy). Second, I do a little research and found that it is a Bulgarian E-money institution and its very close to where I live. In that way when I order a physical card would come to me very fast and easy (They send the debit card for free throughout Europe). I can pay my bills from it, having up to I don’t know about 20 virtual cards in my digital wallet. I can manage my money a lot easier that way. I pay mine subscribes in HBOGO, Spotify, and much more with a different virtual card. I feel much more protected because nobody can charge automatically from my bank account. This is one of the best ways to track your payments.
 What do we learn so far? “Give and take” is a two ways street!!!
 U saw how in this situation hyper-connection is very useful, but you have to dig for yourself. Don’t wait for somebody just given you what you want. In another direction, it’s good to have all that in our hands, but before you do something think if it is helpful for other people. Don’t spend too much time in one-dimensional algorithm and forgot for the world outside…. Go out and explore it. Be the person who can make a difference between good and bad.
 I hope this would be useful in your daily life guys.
God bless and Be connected!!

Group Order Infos !
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) :-
🌸 What is a GO?
GO stands for GROUP ORDER, Where one person manages it which is also known as GOM (Group Order Manager).
🌸 How is GO beneficial to Join?
• When we buy from a site individually they sell it for a certain fixed price but when we buy in a bulk we ofcource get a lil discount ^^ ! For example I bought one album from one site for 12$ Each and if I bulk order 20 albums then each album would cost me around 10$ . So people who joined my GO will get to buy the album for 10$ individually!
• GO order also helps us to divide shipping and customs for some extend ! Also there are many benefits like PhotoCard Sorting , Choosing versions , freebies, and sometimes we gotta submit documentations and all so don't worry ya'll dont have to go through that i'll take responsibility for it 😘.
🌸 Are your GOs Profitable or Non Profitable?
Some people do Profitable GOs and some do Non Profitable GOs , in my case my GOs are 100% Non Profitable. I will never try to make money off of my kpop idols T-T . I genuinely love them and i dont feel like to make money off of these things other wise what's the point of doing a GO? Right? . So ya'll can rest assure all the money would be going to your idols 🤗🌸 Infact some times I have to put money from my own pockets! .
🌸 Why are you doing GOs?
I wanna do Business once i grow older, there's no business-person in my family hence there's no one to teach me bout business and all so i decided to do GO so that i can learn more about it and be a self learner UwU . I get to learn bout many things while doing GOs ! So tysm for that 🙏.
🌸 How much will be the customs?
Customs are not on my hands, Customs are charged randomly and not everytime we are charged with customs. I cannot give estimation price for customs it depends on custom officers T-T
PAYMENTS
• I accept Google Pay , Paytm , Bank Transfer, Paypal.
• After the payment is done please send me a Screen Shot ! SS are important because not only me but many GOMs receive many payments and it becomes so hard to check everyone's payment constantly so please sending a SS is a small favor we ask . It will be also a proof of payment for both us :)

SHIPPING
• I am based in INDIA 🇮🇳 but I ship Worldwide 🌐.
• The Shipping cost would depend on your country.
• The day I receive the GO merches I will try to send it as soon as i can 🤗 .
• I don't trust the post offices so I always pack everything with EXTRA CARE and BUBBLE WRAPS ! paying a lil more for a protected merch is worthy than to try saving money and get damaged merch T-T
• I will NOT be responsible for DAMAGED / LOST packages as its literally the fault of shipping services. I will suggest everyone to do Tracked Shipping.
RULES for my GOs
•It's first pay first serve basis ! I am extremely sorry many people back out after holding the merches, so whoever pays first will get the merch .
• No Refunds will be given if you suddenly decided not to buy the merch, please be 100% sure before placing your order cause after payments refunds won't be given.

Artist Spotlights!
🎤 Sigil★Eyed 🥁 spookyfanny 🎷 Spoopypluto
🎺 Stephanie Giovinco 🎸 Tian Masaki 🎻 Tyangerine
Interview below the cut!
Introduce yourself
🎤 Hello~ I'm Erin! A lazy but friendly artist who loves bright colors~ https://sigileyed.tumblr.com/ 🥁 i’m a nonbinary comic artist/illustrator and a stay at home parent to a toddler. i am working on my first webcomic, foxgloves, a lesbian horror mystery, which will begin next year. you can find my portfolio, commission information, and social links at http://spookyfanny.carrd.co 🎷 Hello I'm Spoopypluto! I am your average digital/traditional anime artist and I like to play video games and drawing from time to time. I love magical girls and pokemon! If you want to find me you can check Instagram and Tumblr @Spoopypluto ♡ 🎺 I am a narrative illustrator from New York, NY. I work in both traditional and digital media specializing in a very old technique called egg tempera where I make my own paints and gesso to use on panel. I have a deep love for storytelling and that is the basis for all of my work, whether it be traditional or digital. You can find me on Instagram @StephanieGiovinco and on Twitter @StephGiovinco 🎸 Hello! My name is Tian and I’m a freelance illustrator / graphic designer. I am quite shy when it comes to meeting new people, so be patient with me…! Q u Q I love video games, art, photography, basically anything that involves the arts. I do mostly traditional art and occasionally digital art. You can find my work at www.artstation.com/tianmasaki. Most of my work involves colorful and detailed abstract background as I strive to bring a smile to your face upon seeing my work. I want to express a certain feeling from me to you. Overall, nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy my work! 🎻 Hello! My name is Ty! I'm an artist and an animator. This is my first time getting into a zine, and i'm very excited. I'm a big fan of Pokemon and Touhou, and i even have a few original stories. My work can be found here Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyangerine/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mintdeagon?s=03 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/poptropica893 DA: https://www.deviantart.com/tyangerine Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/mintdeagon
Do you do commissions post? Where can we find the info?
🎷 https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=167xlfPH1QszkjbYlG0craV5CQly_htgC
🎻 https://twitter.com/mintdeagon/status/1131347796399992833
Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?
🎤 yup! usually music~ mostly pop 🥁 usually, i am either listening to music or rewatching my favorite tv shows while i work. 🎷 I listen to music or watch videos while I draw, usually for background noises but when it comes to music I like it to listen to certain genres and themes to keep my mind at a creative mode. 🎺 I'm big into music, I believe that it can influence how and what I come up with. A lot of the times I will have a specific playlist for a piece just so I can keep a consistent mood through out a piece. If I want to have a neutral setting while I work, I usually just throw on a murder mystery documentary and get to it. 🎸 All the time! It helps me focus and relax at the same time. Sometimes a song can inspire me to draw through art block as well. My genre of music can go from pop to hardcore rock, then back to instrumental and indie, in many different languages as well. 🎻 I do! It's helpful background noise.
What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?
🎤 A Crow is White has been a favorite for a while now~ i really love their whispery vocal style~ 🥁 i would simply ask stevie nicks for her best witch tips. 🎺 This may be unbelievable, but I don't have one particular absolute favorite artist/band. I love so many different types of music it is so hard to pick one favorite. I guess if I really had to pick *one* I would pick Ella Fitzgerald. I would love to ask her what it was like to be a woman of color making a living as a jazz artist in the era that she lived. 🎸 I have too many to list, but if I could ask one question to my favorite musician, then I would want to know what inspired them to make a song. 🎻 Yoko Shimomura! I wonder how she always seems to make dynamic music
Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?
🎤 nope but i've been interested in picking up bass~   🥁 i have been teaching myself the ukulele the last couple years! my favorite songs to play are “f*ck was i” by jenny owens young and “us” by regina spektor. 🎷 I don't play any sadly haha 🎺 Sadly, I am not able to play any instrument. I just completely skipped that in school. I think I would really love to play the guitar or banjo. The guitar because it is an instrument thats sound really excites me in music. And the banjo because it is notoriously hard to play, so it would be cool to say I could. Maybe even a hurry-gurdy. Who knows. 🎸 I used to play the electric piano back when I was young, but not anymore. If I wanted to learn an instrument again, I would like to play an electric guitar because of guitar hero.

What do you expect from this zine?
🎤 i'm really curious to see the variety of music~ Maybe i'll find a new favorite band! 🥁 i expect to hear a lot of cool music that i have never heard before! and also push myself to work outside of my comfort zone. 🎷 The wonderful pieces everyone will be making with the songs they have chosen and even listening to some of the songs they had picked! 🎺 Just to have a whole lot of fun and discover some new music. Maybe even make some new friends in the art world. 🎸 I am excited to see how everyone interprets their favorite songs through their own means. I also thank you for letting me be a part of it as well.

RECENT NEWS, RESOURCES & STUDIES, late February 2020
Tumblr media
Welcome to my latest summary of recent ecommerce news, resources & studies including search, analytics, content marketing, social media & Etsy! This covers articles I came across since the early February report, although some may be older than that. I am a bit behind due to my trip last week and other events, but some things here are a bit time-sensitive so I wanted to release this now. 
I am still looking into setting up a new ecommerce business forum where we can discuss this sort of news, as well as any day-to-day issues we face. I need some good suggestions for a cheap or free forum space that has some editing tools, is fairly intuitive for inexperienced members, and is accessible. If you have any suggestions, please reply to this post, email me on my website, or send me a tweet. (I will put out a survey once we narrow this down to some good candidates, but if you have any other comments on what you want from such a forum, please include those too!)
As always, if you see any stories I might be interested in, please let me know!
TOP NEWS & ARTICLES 
Since we are seeing more shops closed due to Etsy’s customer service level standards, my blog post on ODR now has major revisions explaining what we have learned, and includes some tips for staying out of trouble and if necessary, appealing a suspension. Please circulate the info widely, as many sellers still haven’t heard about this, and some were closed without having any clue this was possible. 
Mobile continues to grow while desktop use is slowly shrinking. It should affect how we design web pages. “Mobile visitors also behave differently from their desktop web counterparts, staying on pages for shorter periods of time, for example.” Other interesting takeaways from this SimilarWeb report: “[Facebook] lost 8.6% of [web] traffic over the past year alone” but increased in app sessions. 
The price of domains ending in “.com” will almost certainly be going up soon, and will go up most years after that, unless something changes at the last minute. If you are absolutely certain that you will continue to use the same domain name for your website, blog, ecommerce forwarding etc., then you might consider paying a few years in advance to save a few bucks. 
Another article explaining how people are selling thrift store and vintage clothing on Instagram, without setting up a checkout/cart anywhere. (The article focusses on teenagers, but does reference other examples.)
ETSY NEWS 
Two weeks ago, Etsy Support posted on Twitter that they were no longer monitoring the account, and asked everyone to use the help page maze instead when they need support. Forum thread here.  
Another trend report for 2020 from Dayna Isom Johnson [podcast links & transcript] She leads off with tips on how to get featured: “ so it's incredibly important to see a bright representation that really clearly shows your product...Do be original. I'm always trying to find the latest and the greatest that isn’t already on the shelves...Do be inclusive. ... I'm talking about models of all ethnicities, all genders, all body types, all ages.” Etsy chose chartreuse as their colour of the year: “in the last three months, there's been a 12% increase in searches for green already, and a 55% increase in neon green.” The wedding trends part was mostly already covered in a blog post, but she does also answer a few seller questions. 
Website user experience (UX) is a big part of getting people to convert, and an outside group ranks Etsy’s as “acceptable”. Many will be unsurprised that search gets a score of “mediocre” and Accounts & Self-Service get a “poor” grade.  
The migration to Google Cloud services is complete, so now Etsy can run more experiments more often, including those involving AI. (Although the forum thread was laughing at the idea of bad reviews helping shops, there is actually some research supporting that, so it is a logical thing to test.)
Etsy sellers in the US, UK & Canada who use Instagram can apply to win a trip to Etsy HQ here, until March 1.
Etsy is launching an Etsy U program which just seems a bit sketchy. Forum thread here.
Reverb (owned by Etsy) named a new Chief Technology Officer on Feb. 18.
SEO: GOOGLE & OTHER SEARCH ENGINES 
Google does not confirm every large search update, so this one remains a mystery at the moment, since Google refused to give an answer. That means it’s not a core update. 
Another video (with subtitles in several languages) from the SEO for Beginners series from Google, on the basics you need for good website SEO. 
If you are interested in “searcher intent”, this 500 person survey asks about what people are really looking for, and what they think of the search results the end up with. Overwhelmingly, they say they prefer organic results to ads, and the majority see targeted ads that they can’t figure out the reason/s behind. “Sixty-eight percent responded that Google adding more ads to the search results would make them want to use the search engine less.” Also, a slight majority preferred text results to images, video, & audio. “When asked which factor had the most significant impact on their decision to click a result, 62.9% responded it was the description, followed by 24.2% who said the brand name, and 13% who said title.” That means that the first part of your Etsy listing description, or the coded meta description on a page on your website, has the most influence on people clicking on your link once they see it. 
I usually strongly suggest that people setting up their own websites make sure they do some SEO work & keyword research for their category/shop section pages, and it turns out that there is new research showing I am correct. “Specifically, e-commerce category pages – which include parent category, subcategory and product grid pages with faceted navigation – ranked for 19% more keywords on average than product detail pages ranked for. The additional keywords they ranked for drove an estimated 413% more traffic, based on the keywords’ search demand and the pages’ ranking position. With optimization, those ranking category pages also showed the potential to drive 32% more traffic.”
Semi-advanced: explaining the (seemingly endless) debate on whether subdomains or subdirectories are better for SEO. 
SEO study - do you really need to use H1 tags on a page? Maybe not, although some screen readers recognize them as the page title so they help with accessibility. (Etsy & many other marketplaces don’t let you make this coding choice, so don’t worry about it there.)
Confused about how to apply all of these SEO tips I post here to your Shopify site? Good news! Here’s a list of what is most important for Shopify SEO. Note the attention to setting up your category pages, which is something I completely agree with. (it’s by Ahrefs so of course it pushes their tools; you don’t need to pay for that.)
CONTENT MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA (includes blogging & emails) 
Some businesses say social media doesn’t work, but maybe they aren’t doing it right. See if you are making one or more of these three mistakes. “Understanding who your target audience is - what they want, what they need, where you fit in, etc. - is critical to maximizing your social media marketing performance.”
Email marketing also works better if you do it right, so here are 5 things you might be doing wrong. And if you like a quick read, here’s an infographic on the psychology of email marketing. 
8 ideas for getting more interactions on Facebook (detailed infographic).
More fourth quarter reports continue: Pinterest’s 4th quarter revenue was up 46% but they lost $1.36 billion, and they are introducing a verified merchant program. “Almost all (97%) of the top searches on Pinterest are unbranded, according to the company, giving merchants a chance to stand out.”
Want to tap into that Pinterest traffic? You should because “90% of weekly Pinterest users log in to make buying decisions.”  Here are 10 ways to get more attention, followers, and pins. 
Like almost all social media, Twitter has an algorithm that mediates what users see (although you can turn it off, or use apps such as Tweetdeck to get around it as a reader). Ranking factors include recency, engagement, media and activity. The article includes a few tips on how to make it work for you, but then slides into promoting its app as the solution - you can just skip that part. 
ONLINE ADVERTISING (SEARCH ENGINES, SOCIAL MEDIA, & OTHERS) 
Google search ads get more results than Facebook and Instagram, simply because more people who see them want to buy something. “Less expensive products tend to sell better than more expensive ones on Facebook and Instagram, per the study.”
If you are running ads where you can choose your keywords, don’t forget to examine your organic search results and impressions for new words to advertise. Google Search Console is a great source.
If you found Instagram ads too expensive, check out this post on how the ads are priced, which can help you make decisions on your spend. 
ECOMMERCE NEWS, IDEAS, TRENDS 
Amazon has nearly 40% of the US ecommerce market, according to a report by eMarketer. Etsy is not in the top 10; eBay is 3rd behind Walmart. 
Sales on Shopify sites during the Black Friday-Cyber Monday long weekend went up 61% to $3 billion in 2019. They claim that the “direct -to-consumer” approach can be successful for both big & small brands. 
Japanese authorities are going after Rakuten for the ecommerce company’s push to make its sellers offer free shipping. 
eCommerceBytes’ annual Sellers Choice survey placed eBay first out of the online marketplaces that were rate. Note that this is not a scientific survey and largely covers the site’s readership only. Bonanza was the most improved & Etsy showed the worst drop (from 1st to 5th place). 
A review of that article last month that says ecommerce sites should have info pages as well as product pages, if only for SEO reasons. The author approves. 
The CBC show Marketplace did a large test buying branded items on AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Wish. It turns out that most were fake. 
Facebook’s cryptocurrency plans (Libra) finally have a partner: Shopify. The potential benefits include no credit card processing fees. 
BUSINESS & CONSUMER STUDIES, STATS & REPORTS; SOCIOLOGY & PSYCHOLOGY, CUSTOMER SERVICE 
Younger people (think Gen Z) expect to see gender treated expansively and beyond traditional stereotypes, and they expect this from companies and advertising. “Half of women and four in 10 men in the U.S. now believe that there is a spectrum of gender identities, according to a recent Ipsos poll titled "The Future of Gender is Increasingly Nonbinary." An additional 16% of those surveyed said they know a person who identifies as transgender”
MISCELLANEOUS (including humour) 
Google employees are pushing back against the sea change in the company’s culture and values - and some are being fired. 
Turns out that the “Peleton Wife” ad might not have hurt them as much as you might think. However, their stock dropped 12% after the fourth quarter report showed a 77% increase in revenue that still managed to be below market predictions. Interesting discussion around going viral in a negative fashion.

hi
im gaining lots of new follows and i love yall thanks for that; in the recent months ive been questioning whether tumblr is worth my efforts trying to make anything of myself and my work. i have the most followers/eyes on my stuff here by far, but the site itself as i'm sure you know takes about 5-10 conscious steps toward its own demise every few days lmao....so you can understand my uncertainty, i'm sure. that all being said it means a ton to me y'all have shown me otherwise. i've gotten lots of lovely support as of late and it really speaks volumes and keeps me working so thanks so much.
i thought maybe while i had you reading i'd remind you of a few means of supporting me, some of which may cost you a few dollars, others being super duper free of charge:
reblog! the most obvious but also the easiest by far. costs you nothing but does me a toooon of good and gets more eyes eyes and exposure for my work
follow me elsewhere! i have twitter and instagram and go by @thwipped there too!
commission me! i reblog my rates often but going to /tagged/commission_info will bring you to my post about that if it interests you
ko-fi! my tip jar is here https://www.ko-fi.com/thwipped and any amount you can manage means everything to me; thank you!
ko-fi commissions! for $10+ ko-fi donations, i offer really simple little bust sketches! all you gotta do is donate, and DM me here or email me with proof of donation and what you'd like!
Patreon! I think my Patreon set up is suuuper cool and chill cos it does NOT charge every month, but ONLY the months i actually am able to post! So maybe, every 2-3 months you'll be charged, and you can pledge as little as $1 and get access to EVERYTHING i upload! so like, you could end up paying like $8 all this year but get all my unposted sketches, some progress videos and other goodies that i don't share anyplace else. go here to check it out or pledge; https://www.patreon.com/bnie
I think that's it!!! I just wanted to round up all that info for y'all and thank you a million times for following and bein so chill and kind and supportive. thanks so much! love u.

The Info Cookie Ep. 1 4/28 - 5/11
youtube
Hello my cookies, welcome back to another video from yours truly. I hope you are doing great today. In today’s blog, I am going to report on Nintendo Switch News that occurred these past 2 weeks. We’ll also talk about other competing consoles, but mainly I’d like to focus on Nintendo in general. On the first blog, we have 4 big news stories for you to enjoy. Wait what? Another AAA series may get ported to the Nintendo Switch?  Is this new (and high quality) information and screenshots for Super Mario Maker 2 that we have here? All of these questions and more will be answered in the next paragraphs. So, without further ado, sit back and enjoy the show.
Our second story has something to do with a popular series that may be coming on the Switch. Borderlands, the series in question, has received a lot of popularity recently for its new title in the series, Borderlands 3, getting a trailer. 
Tumblr media
On Twitter, someone asked the CEO of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, if the Borderlands series will ever arrive on the Nintendo Switch. The CEO responded saying that he would love to see them get ported on the Switch. 
Tumblr media
Someone then replied to his tweet and asked Randy how he and his team could try and make that happen, with Randy going on to say, “You are welcome to campaign with 2k Games and Nintendo. They all know we’re supportive, but [we] have to focus our attention elsewhere.” I have never played a Borderlands game, but if it were to ever come to the Nintendo Switch, I would most likely pick it up. Does this confirm the possibility of Borderlands on the console? No, but it does seem like they aren’t disregarding the possibility. Borderlands 2 was on the PS Vita, meaning that it has been on a portable console before.
Our third story is about Nintendo’s Financial Results Briefing. As you may know, the fiscal year for Nintendo and other companies ended on March of this year. 
Tumblr media
Regarding the sales for the Nintendo Switch, it seems to pick up speed and have yet to peak.
Tumblr media
 Its Console Sales Pace is moving at a rate similar to the 3DS. They talked about games that have released already and information on them, like Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe selling 2.5 million units and Yoshi’s Crafted World having a more feminine audience than other Switch titles. They also mentioned the future 1st party games coming to the Nintendo Switch, like Pokemon Sword and Shield, Super Mario Maker 2, and others. They also re-confirmed that titles like Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing are slated for this year. This might not entirely kill off the rumor that Animal Crossing is delayed though, as Fire Emblem and Yoshi were slated for last year, but instead released this year. Overall, their Financial Results Briefing is worth a read.
In our fourth story, we have news on the new Stardew Valley update. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Update 1.4 will include “a new farm map called Four Corners that's perfect for the much requested ‘separate money’ option in multiplayer.” ConcernedApe tweeted recently about how its new update will add a new map, which can be accessed by creating a new world. This map has multiplayer in mind, but you can still play in singleplayer. If you don’t want to create an entirely new world but still want the separate money feature, you can split or rejoin the money at Mayor Lewis’ house. Whenever I play multiplayer with my brother, I hate how we have to share the money we earn, so with this, it makes multiplayer a bit better. As for release date, there isn’t an exact date, but we do know that PC players will be the first to receive it, then following console (as well as Switch) and mobile players. The PS4 and Xbox One still haven’t received Version 1.3 so it may be a while before they have it in their hands.
Our final news story is about Super Mario Maker 2 and all the information thrown at us this week. 
Tumblr media
On Monday, in-store promotional flyers were shown, which included screenshots of the game. Before, this photo with the cute panda puppet was used as new information, but it was blurry. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now we have a collection of close-ups to the flyer. These images show a lot of information about Super Mario Maker 2, like what the gameplay and enemies look like.

A post shared by 任天堂 (@nintendo_jp) on Apr 30, 2019 at 7:56pm PDT
We also received a new trailer from Nintendo Japan’s Instagram, which shows Mario’s evolution through the three Japanese eras. The video is a minute long and you should check out SwitchForce’s video explaining it in the description below. Super Mario Maker 2 releases on June 28th and if pre-ordered in Japan you receive one year of Nintendo Online and a stylus. That’s a pretty good deal if I do say so myself.
Thanks for reading this blog. Check out my YouTube channel and other videos. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy, and I’ll see you all later!
