NAME :　L/Lucy

PRONOUNS :　She/Her

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION :　Discord (for people I have talked for a bit). I'm a lot around tumblr, so I don't mind using the IMs too.

NAME OF MUSE(S) :　LeBlanc (main muse for the moment), Angelica, Rebecca W.J, Kurt Wolfgang, Cosima, Rachel and Mrs. S.

EXPERIENCE / HOW LONG ( MONTHS / YEARS? ) :　I've been rping since 2002, using UOL chat. Then I moved to Orkut, Skype groups, Tumblr, Discord, Twitter and now I'm back to Tumblr. I used to write in Portuguese only from 2002-2015, when I started writing more in English. Nowdays it's actually quite write for me to even think on responses in Portuguese.

BEST EXPERIENCE :　I had more bad experiences than good experiences, but on the recent years I started meeting more wonderful people that became quite dear to me. I started to feel a bit more confident in my ideas (I've started getting more spontaneous compliments from rp partners and people are showing up to be more hyped up about talking and writing with me); I have also met my bf through rp (VtM rp over Twitter).

RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS :　I don't think I have a true pet peeve or a dealbreaker. However, what bothers me and affects my interest in writing is jumps between different points in the same storyline/arc. I do enjoy contemplating other points, especially future developments (especially if my rp partner and I are excited about the ideas we are building together), but the lack of continuity is somewhat of a turn-off for me when writing.

If we have a solid base thread going on, I truly don't mind occasional jumps and 'what if' small scenarios on the side. However, if the main plot/thread line is lost, and we only have smaller side-interactions, it can become a turn off to me to continue writing (save rare expections).

On an extra note: I feel less inclined (due to my anxiety) to write a lot with people I don't speak a lot ooc. Having a friendship ooc makes me a lot more comfortable and invested in writing, so yes, my friends will always have priority when it comes to replying to threads and answering asks.

MUSE PREFERENCES FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT :　 My preferences, in order are: Angst, Supernatural horror, romance, crack, smut and fluff.

PLOTS OR MEMES :　Both. It will heavily depend on the other muse and mun. If it's a muse I don't know well from a mun that I don't talk a lot or I just met, winging things up with a meme is easier. It can also become a huge plot later on, as it happened with @hexcoremagician. Our first interaction was a meme, but turned into quite a big idea that I'm super happy with. Otherwise, if I know the muse well, and in specially I know the mun and talk a lot to them, plotted goes a lot better! It's the case with @heredis-sanguinis.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES :　Again, depends. I believe everything has its value with the right moment. Small crack/random interactions can be fun with one lines or shorter replies. More complex and heavy story driven interactions it's better a few paragraphs. I'm not picky about how many, as long as they can fulfill the necessity of that thread.

'Fun' fact: I usually write more and in more detail when emotionally unwell (depressed, anxious or angry). Idk why, it doesn't make sense to me.

BEST TIME TO WRITE :　In the morning. I'm a morning person, my brain works best before lunch time. It's a lot harder for me to focus or being creative after midday (I'm used to wake up around 5:30AM, so my brain is quite tired after 2-3 pm).

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE-(S) :　I don't think so? At least not that I can see similarities between us (perhaps the rp partners that know me a bit better will be capable of answering it xD). I cannot see anything similar between me and my muses for the moment.

➤ 𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 [ : ] quite a few people xD ➤ 𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 [ : ] @heredis-sanguinis, @demacianhcart, @everybodysenemies, and whoever else wants to do this!

When Representative-elect George Santos takes his seat in Congress on Tuesday, he will do so under the shadow of active investigations by federal and local prosecutors into potential criminal activity during his two congressional campaigns.

But an older criminal case may be more pressing: Brazilian law enforcement authorities intend to revive fraud charges against Mr. Santos, and will seek his formal response, prosecutors said on Monday.

The matter, which stemmed from an incident in 2008 regarding a stolen checkbook, had been suspended for the better part of a decade because the police were unable to locate him.

A spokeswoman for the Rio de Janeiro prosecutor’s office said that with Mr. Santos’s whereabouts identified, a formal request will be made to the U.S. Justice Department to notify him of the charges, a necessary step after which the case will proceed with or without him.

The criminal case in Brazil was first disclosed in a New York Times investigation that uncovered broad discrepancies in his résumé and questions about his financial dealings.

Just a month before his 20th birthday, Mr. Santos entered a small clothing store in the Brazilian city of Niterói outside Rio de Janeiro. He spent nearly $700 using a stolen checkbook and a false name, court records show.

Mr. Santos admitted the fraud to the shop owner in August 2009, writing on Orkut, a popular social media website in Brazil, “I know I screwed up, but I want to pay.” In 2010, he and his mother told the police that he had stolen the checkbook of a man his mother used to work for, and used it to make fraudulent purchases.

A judge approved the charge in September 2011 and ordered Mr. Santos to respond to the case. But by October, he was already in the United States and working at Dish Network in College Point, Queens, company records show.

Despite his earlier confessions, Mr. Santos has recently denied any criminal involvement, telling The New York Post, “I am not a criminal here — not here or in Brazil or any jurisdiction in the world.”

Joe Murray, a lawyer for Mr. Santos, said on Monday, “I am in the process of engaging local counsel to address this alleged complaint against my client.”

Mr. Santos’s swearing-in on Tuesday as the representative of New York’s Third Congressional District was already set to take place amid a cloud of scrutiny.

Last week, irregularities in Mr. Santos’s campaign spending emerged, including $40,000 on flights and payments for rent that are linked to an address where Mr. Santos is reported to be staying, a possible violation of the ban on using campaign funds for personal expenses.

Mr. Santos also lied about graduating from college and had misled voters about having worked for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. He also acknowledged owing thousands of dollars in unpaid rent, and withdrew his claim that he owned multiple properties.

The next step for Brazilian prosecutors is to file a petition when the courts reopen at the end of the week requesting that Mr. Santos respond to the charges against him. A judge would then share the request, called a rogatory letter, with the federal Justice Ministry in Brazil, which would share it with the U.S. Department of Justice. Neither the Justice Department nor Brazilian authorities can compel Mr. Santos to respond at this point. But Mr. Santos must be officially notified in order for the case to proceed.

A criminal conviction, even for a felony, is not on its own an act that would disqualify a congressional member from holding office. The last time a member of Congress was removed from office for breaking the law was in 2002, when James A. Traficant Jr. was removed from the House after his conviction on felony racketeering and corruption charges.

If Mr. Santos does not present a defense in the Brazilian case, he will be tried in absentia. If found guilty, Mr. Santos could receive up to five years in prison, plus a fine.

thoughts on culture and social media that english-speakers might wanna read

THIS IS NOT A GUILT-TRIPPING POST IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. i am merely sharing a point of view for the sake of exchange, i promise! 😁😉

americans and even first world english speakers have absolutely no idea how it feels to be fully bilingual and engage in international social media

from time to time you will find yourself in an (actually somewhat serious) identity and cultural crisis that will legitimately start to affect your mental health without you even noticing. it creeps up on you and you dont realize just how uttely lost you truly are until something happens and you spend some hours heavily engaging into your own culture and language and then it just clicks. suddenly you feel lighter, your mind more at peace. and it sometimes it can go on for months, even years, without you realizing where that disconfort is coming from. feels like there is a mist surrounding you very soul but you have the hardest fucking time putting your finger on it.

now to the part it might anger some (arguably immature) people from tumblr:

i had some serious body dysmorphia (had surgery since then, thank god), and i consider myself somewhat NB. as in, some days i feel like the girliest diamond-simping disney-like princess and the others i am the grimmiest most charmingly roughish of victorian era urchins. most days are close to a middle ground, of course

im only sharing this tidbit to really drive home the point i am trying to make: feeling far removed and disconnected from your culture can be psychologically compared to being forced to present your body/gender in a way that makes you unconfortable for prolongued periods of time

in this post i will try to pinpoint and explain the actual core of the issue, where (i believe, from an university level of understanding of the subject) everything stems from.

again, i am not making this post to guilty trip anyone, for the love of god. to the contrary, i wish social media was still dominated by my culture (long live Orkut lol). it is comfortable. there is nothing wrong with being in your confort zone (with some small moderation), no matter what tumblr tries to tell you. the human race has been struggling for 30k+ years to improve comfort. hell, id love to have that privilege of cultural prevalence in social media, aint gonna be hypocritical about it

i just wish native english speakers, in special those from the USA, kept in mind our way of speaking, our sentence conatruction, even the choice of slang translation we use. none of that is truly 100% "unpoluted". a lot of times we are trying our hardest to get to a close aproximation of our native language "personality".

tumblr and especially twitter could be a little more patient with it. its is damn fucking hard to master the flick of the switch to another language, let alone needing to change your whole manner of speaking because someone, somewhere, think you might be offending someone else, somewhere else

english speakers are fortunate that their native language became the world's Lingua Franca in a way that was natural. not "forced" like french way back when, or mandarin most recently. english flows. english is easy. i freaking love english my dudes, i literally majored in english translation. but when you dont have the need to learn a second language, it becomes, THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN, natural to assume some text on the internet is being written under the same cultural and socio-econonical optics as you were raised in. ESL has become so commonplace, even more so for the last 5~10 years, that its nearly impossible to tell what country that person might actually be from.

and therein lies the problem: assumption. different people do things in different ways. there are some that are better and healtier than others (including from, yes, "third world" countries) there are some that are boarding inhumane (including from, yes, "first world" countries). but the massive majority? its simply different. if it works for you and your family and your peers, then it works. simple as that.

but on social media you only have text. how many feuds have been sparked because of the lack of intonation in text? everyone and theirs grandma's parrot has a story of miscommunication when texting. but when you add in manner of speech and cultural traits to it, it becomes a complicated issue

and then we ESL speakers overcorrect. even subconsciously, we start to shape ourselves to the native-english culture (mostly american, for the obvious reason called "sheer numbers"). but its not our actual culture. dont get me wrong, the more you can incorporate different points of view in your life the better. fuck, god knows how badly we need this in the world right now. nothing wrong with implementing it in your daily life and even your own "personal culture" and ways. hell, just see my spotify to understand how much i love punk rock, an initially political/cultural movement that doesnt even apply to my history 😂

but as i said, we are somewhat forced to overcorrect. and THAT causes more anxiety and anguish than people can possibly imagine. youre ESL reading this and think its not that bad, it cant possibly affect you that much?

allow me to demonstrate:

i cannot possibly expect an american (you will understand why i singled you out in a sec) to understand why is it that brazilians bore no ill will towards germany after the 7x1 or why is it that this last world cup in specificthe fault was actually on the coach and what were his strategy errors, or why the fault was on the players in 2014, or even WHY the players bevahed so, etc etc etc etc. soccer football simply isnt your culture. i only know of Tom Brady's existence cause of Gisele. Michael Jordan? 98% Space Jam, 2% the Air Jordan murders way back when. I have only a vague idea who Babe Ruth is, and keeping score in baseball sounds legit worse than quantum physics.

i cant expect you to answer the diference between bossa nova and samba, samba and axé, axé and pagode, pagode and samba, samba and tropicalia, tropicalia and bossa nova. and which group of people founded what, and why, and if it was for protest what they were protesting against. i cant expect you to know why the first election against bolsonaro in 2028 was worse than sophie's choice for the massive majority of us. and why the second in 2022 was another matter entirely. i cant expect you to know what the word "caiçara" means (or even that it exists!) and howcome its a different ethnicity than the ones simply 70km away, and a whole other ethnicity with the same word if used in another state

then why do all of us ESL people need to fully and nearly college-level understand the insane intricacies of american politics? why am i expected to view the mere fucking concept of police as evil incarnated, through the eyes of a country that has basically zero training of their force? why do i need to think and behave according to an apartheid-influenced race theory in my daily life, in my own country, when im not even from those ethinicities? why do i need to see gender pay gap and patriachism the exact same way, if the foundation of families (and labor law, lol) in my culture is nearly the opposite?

i belive, like, 90% of the people reading this by now will have clicked on what im getting at.

because for good or for worse, english is here to stay. no, chinese wont take over as Lingua Franca, not even in the bussiness world, and i could quite literally write a monography on the subject as to why. no, like, i actually can, i have an university degree in it. so yes international media is in english. that boat has sailed, that horse has been shot Inês agora é morta

ESL speakers obviously know that. we had to adapt to it.

but how much before "adapting" becomes "submissive"? well, i dont know the precise answer but id wage around 6~7 bus stops ago

so all i ask if that native english speakers consider that as well. we adapted, so can you. we are speaking your language, yes. we are engaging in your culture as well along with it.

but its almost 2023. isnt it time to realize that the culture of speaking english might not be only yours anymore? 😉😝

we try to stay away from everything that is widly known as offensive, obviously. most people know where The Line TM stands for most english speaking cultures. i hardly see a quid pro quo in this, but as i stated before, i dont expect people from other cultures to understand the intricacies of mine. everyone is subject to commiting a faux pas, everyone here is human ffs.

the issue is that i see native english speakers being actively but gently corrected on an honest mistake, aaaaaand then doubling down on it under the argument "this is english speaking media". or worse, an ESL person also commiting an honest mistake but then being canceled for all eternity because it didnt fit the english cultural optics.

social media is for all. english now is, like it or not, for all. we ESL folks dont mean to offend. and more: lot of faux pas are not even offensive to us at all in translation. and theres some english expressions that sound wrong to our ears but we let it slide

i think its high time we all come together to a middle ground yes? we are willing to learn, we have been for quiiiiiite a while. but maybe, juuuust maybe, not every different way of speaking in english and point of view should be considered "problematic" if it comes from a diferent cultural optic, hmmmm?

as for the culture-privation anguish i started this with? well, if you spend so much time trying to pretend to change your very principles for the sake of not being unjustly attacked by internet strangers, it will no doubt cause anxiety (to put it fucking mildly).

do a "going back home" session. take an afternoon to actively engage in music and media from your country. no social media involved. im willing to bet with the craziness thats our world, whatever language you speak shit is utterly chaos there as well. meditate on the messages of the lyrics and the plots of the series/movies/books and everything else in it. no need to go on a full monastery-like deep dive, or even to do it super frequently. it aint court-mandated therapy, relax.

but you may have gotten much more lost on that path away from your roots than you first realized. and stopping to find your way back, even if for a couple of hours, will do your mental health so much good.

as for the english speakers, just try to keep in mind the point of view i have exposed 😉

no need to agree, no need to change. hell, truthfully no need to even keep in mind if you dont want to, i suppose. but not everyone shares you issues, strenghts, and optics. not everyone has the same life story, or even history.

and remember: at the end of the day we are all the same species, sharing the same planet. we have more in common than you think 😉

#jesus fuck how do you even tag this?#probably under: things that will get ignored cause of my pitiful amount of followers 😂#if anyone has any tagging sugestion im all ears #my stuff #my writting #just so i can find later lol

random, but do you rp/used to rp? you kinda have the vibe (/complimentary)

oh yeah! oh, man, that was such a long time ago lol i started out on orkut (brazilian facebook). you'd create a profile, put your character info on your bio, and rp on your message wall, it was great. then i moved on to those invisionfree boards (each board was a different "setting", with subforums with locations, your profile pic as a famous actor you used as your character...). i even ran a few of them, too, but they only really worked if you had a group of friends to keep it alive. some of my best stories (which later became novel ideas) came from there, too. i tried my hand at tumblr rps, but it never worked out :( never hit the same

never did d&d though bc i never had friends, specially not nerd friends. hell, i never even played clue

Social Media Marketing in the Vibrant Realm of India

In the large landscape of India, social media marketing has woven itself intricately into the fabric of modern communication. The origin of social media can be traced back to the early 2000s when platforms like Orkut and MySpace marked the dawn of a new era in digital interaction. However, it was the advent of Facebook, Twitter, and the visually captivating Instagram that truly transformed the way Indians connected and communicated.

As the digital revolution swept across the nation, social media marketing emerged organically as a powerful force. Its importance grew due to the sheer scale of user engagement on platforms like Facebook, where millions of Indians logged in daily. Businesses, recognizing the potential of reaching a vast audience, began leveraging these platforms to promote products and services. The real-time nature of social media allowed for instant communication, making it an ideal medium for brands to connect with their target audience.

Social media marketing is crucial in India for a myriad of reasons. Firstly, it provides a cost-effective way for businesses, big or small, to reach a massive audience. Traditional advertising avenues often come with hefty price tags, making it challenging for startups and local businesses to compete. Social media levels the playing field, allowing even the smallest enterprises to create a significant online presence. Secondly, the interactive nature of social media fosters direct engagement between brands and consumers, building trust and loyalty over time.

Now, let's delve into the diverse types of social media marketing that have gained prominence in the Indian digital landscape:

Content Marketing:

Blogs, articles, and visually appealing posts crafted to engage and inform the audience.

The emphasis is on creating valuable content that resonates with the target demographic.

Influencer Marketing:

Leveraging the popularity of social media influencers to promote products or services.

Influencers, with their large and dedicated following, have become powerful marketing allies.

Video Marketing:

Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reels are utilized to create compelling video content.

The visual appeal and storytelling in videos capture the audience's attention effectively.

Paid Advertising:

Utilizing paid promotions on platforms like Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, and Twitter Ads.

Targeted advertising ensures that content reaches the most relevant audience segments.

Social Media Analytics:

Harnessing data and analytics tools to track the performance of campaigns.

Real-time insights help marketers refine strategies for better results.

The significance of social media marketing in India lies not only in its ability to drive brand awareness but also in its role as a catalyst for social change. Campaigns on social issues, public service announcements, and grassroots movements find a powerful ally in the far-reaching arms of social media. As India continues its digital journey, social media marketing remains a dynamic force, constantly evolving to capture the essence of a nation that thrives on connection and community.

The Social Media Revolution: From MySpace to TikTok

From Myspace to TikTok and Instagram Reels

From the early days of MySpace to the contemporary dominance of TikTok, this journey reflects now not best technological improvements but also shifts in societal conduct and cultural preferences.

It gained significant popularity, especially in countries like Brazil and India, where it became a dominant social media platform for a time. Orkut allowed users to create profiles, connect with friends, and share updates, photos, and videos.

One of its unique features was the “Orkut testimonials” section, where friends could leave public comments on each other’s profiles. While Orkut was known for fostering online communities and connecting people, it also faced criticism for privacy issues and the spread of spam.

Despite its initial success, Orkut eventually declined in the face of competition from platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Google decided to shut down Orkut in 2014, marking the end of an era in the history of social media. While Orkut may no longer exist, its legacy as one of the early social networking giants is remembered by those who were part of its vibrant online communities.

III. The Rise of Facebook (2004)

In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard pupil, added a platform that could eventually overshadow MySpace. Facebook, to start with restrained to Harvard students, multiplied swiftly to different universities and finally became on hand to every person with a legitimate email deal. Facebook’s attraction lay in its smooth layout, consumer-pleasant interface, and focus on actual-international connections.

Facebook is now not just about connecting with pals; it changed into approximately connecting with people you already knew in actual life.

5 Advantages of Buying Facebook Likes

Social media is no longer as we once knew it. Algorithms have changed, layouts have changed, the focus has shifted; the internet has developed far beyond our wildest imaginations in just a few years. SMGains recall services such as G+, Orkut, and Yahoo Messenger as ways to stay in touch with friends and family all across the world. While this is still a valid and widespread reason for joining social media, it is no longer the only one. It is, in reality, not the most prevalent.

Now, businesses and influencers, marketers and producers, artists and musicians, and a multitude of other creative or otherwise professionals have joined social media for a variety of reasons that do not involve family. This shift in focus and objectives has resulted in a transformation in how consumers receive social media activity. There are now more platforms for buying Facebook likes than social media platforms on the internet.

These social media engagement platforms enable you to increase engagement and promote organic growth by paying for services such as “buy Instagram likes,” “buy Facebook followers,” and so on. But why is this so? That is what we will cover in this article: the top five reasons why you should buy Facebook likes & followers.

Popularity

Regardless of industry, if you want your social media initiatives to be effective, you must be famous on Facebook. You need popularity whether you are attempting to raise knowledge about your brand, be an influencer, or accomplish anything else. Purchasing Facebook likes secures your popularity. It establishes the basis, at the very least.

People are more likely to trust a popular page than an alienated one. Once you have a sufficient number of likes, your page will begin to take off and reach more people. Your audience will pay attention, and your target will quickly approach.

Reliability

Consider visiting an influencer’s Facebook page, which has only a few hundred likes. In what world would you regard such a page to be a trustworthy source of influence? None, in my opinion.

A high number of likes lends a sense of reliability to many situations. People who visit your page for the first time will believe that they can trust your opinion because so many other people do. This advances your job as an influencer, brand, and so on. Essentially, it enhances your social media personality. As a result, trustworthiness is a key reason to purchase Facebook likes.

It increases your reach

This is a very smart assessment. When you purchase Facebook likes, especially from reputable sites like these, these likes do not materialize anywhere. These are actual Facebook users hired by companies for this specific duty, which means that these people have their own friends. If you average 10 friends per purchased follower and buy a hundred likes, you can easily reach a thousand more people. This is due to the fact that when a Facebook user likes your page, their friends will see it in their newsfeed. Even if just 10% of these friends are interested in your page, you’ve gained a hundred new likes for free. That’s a two-for-one deal.

Attract advertisers

If a page is not popular, no company wants to approach it for advertisements. Why would they spend their money when the returns are certain to be zero?

Brands are constantly on the search for new social media partners. Thus, if a brand sees your page and discovers that you have a significant following, they are more likely to contact you for a sponsored post, advertisement, affiliate posts, and so on than if you have a small number of likes. As a result, purchasing Facebook likes is an excellent approach to ensure that your page attracts marketers. With enough adverts and sponsored content, you may earn several hundred dollars every month.

Search results

This is directly related to point one. Most of the points here do. When a user searches for something on Facebook, the website sorts the results based on numerous variables, one of which is popularity. A Facebook page with a large number of likes is more likely to show near the top of search results when a person searches for something related to it.

This brings your page to the forefront, ensuring improved visibility and popularity. This point is meaningless without adequate SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). That is, you must include keywords in your Facebook postings, as well as ensure that your name, section, profile image, contact information, and other similar facts are current and, more importantly, appropriately optimized.

Conclusion

Buying Facebook likes & followers offers various advantages, most of which involve popularity in some form. On social media, popularity is everything, therefore when you buy engagement, your social presence will skyrocket.
