me explaining how online works so y'all can be gay do crimes fuck corporate:
Business wants to flatten human-online engagement for business aims. This is the algorithm's prime function—not delivering you the content you want, when you want it.
So, the solution is to up the ante. Send backwash chaotic metrics. Do big loud gay throttle. You can literally choose to go against the online grain anytime you want.
Example: You love tea. OK. Identify indie tea brand that's super ethics. Put them on blast as hard possible online and in search. Get 5 friends (who get 5 friends) to do this. This helps them.
But also, bidnid ppl do competitive analysis. big shitty tea brand says "huh, why is trending?" big tea brand go "how can i do that. wait."
and if you picked the right indie tea brand, only logical answer for bigboi is "consumer like ethical tea. i...oops." and when big brand tries to only LOOK like tiny tea brand, you call bullshit no buy
you do not give social media signals to big bad mean tea brand. you screencap if you gotta and use asterisk or whatever. all the while, applying pressure to uplift cool indie tea brand and cool little guys like them.
this is legit how online commerce and digital analytics works.
1 person uplifting cool indie ethical brand becomes 2. then 10. then 100. then 1000. then 100,000 until big bidnid fucks have to go "and i oop." if they want market share, they will have to evolve or you will ignore them like an annoying bug.
pls prove to me that normies are able to grasp what im saying: you have all the power. you're just not using it.

Aquamarine sibs theme but instead of if I can stop one heart from breaking, it's the day you vanished with the stars from hi3 😭
Or worse: NIGHTGLOW. 💀
STOP NOT NIGHTGLOW NOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
ISTG IF WE LOOSE HSR HIMEKO TOO IM GOING TO DIE. WELT DIDNT DIMENSION HOP FOR NOTHING!!!
But like....I have an idea for a possible AU outcome.
ok this is such a long explanation but:
This takes place after Amethio ends up joining the RVT and leaving Mari to fill in for him as an Admin. Mari becomes so mentally unstable they need an AI of some sort to help them pilot their body. During one of their battles with the RVT, Mari's robot thing gets impaled (YET AGAIN! BROSKI CANNOT ESCAPE THE IMPALEMENT DEATH!!!) while Mari is INSIDE the robot, asleep! :3
Originally, I was gonna have Amethio's Ceruledge do the impaling but it would be angstier if it was one of Aqua's Pokemon.
AND BONUS: NIGHTGLOW IS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE MARI GETS IMPALED :3

mad every day that i will never make a better piece of art than Sam Esmail's "Mr. Robot" because that is an impossible task.
it is literally a perfect piece of film-literature.
stunningly gorgeous from every single angle, painfully empathetic, impossibly cerebral and made with three huge goals in mind:
one: show almost every flavor of trauma, how trauma impacts people differently and how to work-through trauma.
two: pave the path to health through owning trauma, taking the journey and learning that the past can't be changed, but a better future can be built, together.
three: expand perspectives with each rewatch, so the audience can grasp that reality is shared perspectives and maybe even learn true empathy.
sam esmail gave us a once-in-a-lifetime gift that came out of fucking nowhere.
a gift like a torch that i can only barely keep going with my dinky match, hoping the raw, beautiful, painful reality of being a person doesn't fizzle out in the coming decades.
sam, you crazy son of a bitch. i'd ask how you pulled it off if i ever got in front of you, but i already know the answer: you had to.

JUST vis a vis turtle iterations interacting in their own styles i was gonna say oh long tradition of that, the 09 crossover movie. BUT THEN I REMEMBERED AN EARLIER ONE
[ID: Two page comic spread of Mirage TMNT, filled with many of the side characters: superheros, aliens, mutants, robots and more. With the turtles and Splinter at the center. The characters are all drawn by the various mirage staff and "friends" artists, including each turtle. Mike is by Jim Lawson, the city at war era style with blocky beaks. Leo is by A.C Farley, very stocky, wide head, very large shiny eyes. Leo has his mask around his neck too. Raph is by Dan Berger, a more horror creature look, with dark shadows by the eyes and a menacing smile with so many teeth showing. Don is by Ryan Brown, a solid, rounded shapes turtle. The toning on all, likely by Eric Talbot, gives them midtone skin, with lighter coloured chins. END ID]
GAH, okay. ya anyway this was in the mirage 50 making it like. 90s. 93? JUST THINK ITS NEAT.
