to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

#it actually would be way better if they didnt work and made no money bc businesses would abandon them #this isnt like stocks where everythings abstract and is essentially gambling (i dont understand stocks) #like ppl in the ad industry create things. that make a tangible and quantifiable impact on the business #which is then used in further ad planning. it is NOT all smoke and mirrors #like its fake in that the industry is not providing a necessary service the way like. grocery stores are #but its not the level of fake where everything is abstract like theres deliverables #moreover there is an extensive body of academic work specifically on how to make ads more effective #ALSO i think some of u views ads like. as if they have a win condition. which is you buy product #but in current advertising this is pretty rare and comparatively ineffective #which is why you see MANY ads which dont seem to be selling anything in particular. or which have nothing all to do with the product #the 'win' condition for THAT kind of ad is something more like 'viewers remember our name' #like. ex i would say ads for temu have not been effective on me bc i havent bought anything from them #but temu probably thinks they were SUPER effective on me because i talked abt them like 5 different times at work #and i do in fact know exactly what the company does and what they sell #and they were able to capitalize on the reputations of existing companies (wish shein etc) to build their own brand #good idea generator

bradley bradshaw circa 1998 looking up “patrick swayze shirtless advertisement calvin klein?” on the iMac in Tom Kazansky’s home office after Maverick forces him to watch Point Break (1991):

#bradley: it’s for uhhh my sociology project. on why things are marketed certain ways #maverick (idiot): alright sounds good to me! #only two people were surprised bradley turned out the way he did and their names are tom and pete #their joint lack of gaydar as a gay couple has bewitched me #also such an advertisement doesn’t exist bc calvins got big in the 90s and swayze was older/too serious of an actor by then but oh well #i’ve been cry laughing about this all day #top gun #icemav #ig this is icemav due to the implication of them co-owning a computer #bradley rooster bradshaw

into the deep end - 30k T orufrey fic, focusing on memory trauma, disability, and romance.

the sweet oblivion of the victim, the poisoned freedom of the other.

for one moment - it had felt like two parts returned - the needed reunion of two disparate halves. no more secrets, no more pain.

the moment you get to give back what you never wanted to take. that moment, under the night-blooming flowers, when they had both let out the same single broken sigh of relief.

but they were never whole to begin with, were they?

qifrey swore he wouldn't say 'sorry' to this man any more if he could help it - sorry is cheap now. he didn't want to be in a position ever again where you only have 'sorry' left. so he just looks down into the threads of his blanket, strains his eye until it hurts, feeling his insides - his throat, heart and head - burn with pain. he expects more, but olly says nothing.

olly says nothing.

#witch hat tag #orufrey #sorry i wanted to make a new post for my fic since the first illustration is new. #*stands in the middle of a desolate field in the pouring rain* Please Read My Tale...Blease..Oh god please..*collapses to the ground* #someone asked if there's spoilers in it. Um...yes. Sorry...it's about everything #maybe i should describe it more? it's about qifrey becoming more and more disabled - as i feel is his canon trajectory #and both of them processing the choices that have been made. it was necessary for me to explore this in order to fully understand orufrey #and for them to have the cathartic conclusion-that's why this is important to me for my witch hat fanwork making life. this connects it all #and having dived into qifrey's mind and lived through oru's feelings i was able to get to a place that is possible for them. #the hit/kudos ratio is so pathetic idek what happened. ppl opening it realising its long and saving it for later or just bailing lmfao #idek any more i hate advertising my writing i hate trying to get more ppl to read my long fics it's so hard 🥲 #i'm so much prouder of this than my art...i was able to sink deeply into the orufrey feelings i had always wanted to fully explore #so. it's there lol.........i reread the date/kiss segment today after trying to forget about it thinking maybe the fic is just BAD lol #and like.....nope! i like it very much and this is what i was trying to get across. and it's always there to be read by anyone who wants to #and i will always remember the bliss i felt while writing when i was just lost in their world and living as them. dear GOD i love them. #i'm grateful to myself that i put in the work and love to make this so that i can always come back to it. i wanna illustrate scenes properly #but i'm never satisfied with drawing things i've written because i just can't capture the vivid experience in my mind. maybe one day.

(fia voice) no guys we totally want to support women in motorsports which is why we have to create a new series instead of encouraging girls at the karting level and funding them into the pre existing feeder programmes, and even when we create their own series for them we wont spend any money on media marketing or broadcasting it even, even though thats the easiest way to gain support and visibility! bc that would obviously be crazy! but like, #feminism right?

#be honest with me susie are they holding a gun to ur head and is that why you arent going insane abt no broadcasting #if a race takes place with genuinely nobody watching it ala tree falling in a forest nobody hearing it #like. where do ppl even buy tickets bc streets r saying theres free entry but NOOO advertising yet again #f1 academy #sorry to go off on this but also struggling to understand how they will fulfill sponsorships w/ no broadcast…. ANNNYWAY

thinks about how mcu moon knight was focused on actual egyptian representation directed by an egyptian man in opposition to the frankly orientalist comic origins and the fact they reinvented marlene to be a palestinian-egyptian woman who becomes a superhero herself and then thinks about how the new mcu captain america movie is literally zionist propoganda and grimaces in abject agony

#sorry I just remembered how they’re gonna have a Jewish superhero and she’s literally a Zionist symbol #like. why is THIS the only time you’re advertising a Jewish superhero… #and then thinks about the way marvel is actually tied to the pentagon and the US military industrial complex . pukes and dies #moon knight will always be held back by the fact that marvel owns the property #bc I doubt they’ll go into Marcs relationship to Judaism OR his military trauma very much #whatever. #me talking #moon knight #marvel critical

Internet: so there's a MARVEL TAROT DECK COMING SOON Me: YESSSS, so can I see a lil of the inside before pre-ordering? Internet: ...it's a MARVEL TAROT DECK Me: you mean... I can't even see inside? What type of art is it? Internet: it's a MARVEL TAROT DECK Me: that answers nothing Internet: all you need to know is it's a MARVEL TAROT DECK Me: do you have ANYTHING to say besides 'it's a marvel tarot deck'? Internet: ...it's a- Me: just sit down, jfc

#why would you not have SOME preview of what's inside #I NEED TO KNOW WHAT CARD MATT IS #IF HE'S THE WRONG CARD I DON'T WANT IT #i need to know if it's a PIP DECK #i need to know the ART STYLE because if it's UGLY i do not WANT IT #i need to know if this is just someone randomly slapping in images without concern for symbolic meaning! #SHOW ME THE FUCKING INSIDE #considering i've seen like zero advertisements or things about reviews i may need to *be* the reviewer #with pictures of what's inside and whether it matches up appropriately with the symbolism #i would love to have a good marvel deck because A. duh you know me and B. I love tarot for writing so #having a marvel deck for TRT tarot construction would be hilarious #idk. got a few weeks and then I'll consider going for it

Look, there's a reason your post hasn't gained any traction and it's probably because you know and everyone else knows how wrong it is.

You can't be making money off of fanfiction. Especially fanfiction you're already uploading to AO3.

If it was your own original works where you could set up a subscription like patreon, you'd probably gain the support you're looking for.

"Pay $5 for early access to fanfic chapters that are scheduled to be posted publicly anyway" sounds shady af and you know it. Especially for popular fandoms like One Piece, Naruto, BNHA, etc.

#Saw some shit today #Mind blown at the audacity #Fandom #Fandom discourse #Ao3 #Gives me sixpenceee heals vibes because it's obvious you haven't done any fucking research on WHY THIS IS WRONG #oh no it's even shadier than I thought #she's advertising the membership on Ao3. ff.net & wattpad #that's either ballsy or just willfully ignorant #This is how you get sued and/or get your works purged #Fanfiction #Naruto #BNHA #One Piece #<- the fandoms this person writes in

Are you slowly going insane over your OWN ocs?

No, I've been infected by brainworms the entire time. Nothing slow about it.

But honestly, no... It's not really about my characters to me. I love my characters, of course, and I love telling stories, and I hope to keep making art of my characters every day until I die.

But it's not about them! They're not REALLY what I love, what I love is people! And I hope I can leave the world with a hundred different love letters so my readers can feel how much I love them for even one day longer than I am here.

My characters are a conduit through which I can give that to people. I want nothing more than to make someone feel a little more loved, a little more seen, and a little less alone. And my characters are the best way I know how to do that.

So for that, they're incredibly important to me... But they're not for me. They're for you!

So I hope you enjoy them

and I hope you can feel that I love you through them.

#personally I dont like to use the word insane to describe myself or others #I struggle with many things but when it comes to my characters #I am nothing but concrete #determined #and absolutely positively headstrong through and through. #I don't take myself too seriously #And I don't hold too much sacred that I do #I really just want to make the world slightly better #for even one person #anyways. #asks #izzy-fishy #oh this is also why I hate like... advertising #and locking anything behind a paywall #and just. all of that stuff #I wish I could just make money drawing whatever and everything I do were free with no issues #but the best way for me to pay my bills and make more art is for some of it to be for money... so. #unfortunately I dont get to truly live my dream #where I spend all day teaching people how to draw and making them art they love #ALAS!!! #capitalism

Hey portal 2 literally just went on sale for 99 cents like 5 minutes ago immediately after i had looked at its steam page earlier. So its my turn to make the "you have to go buy portal 2 now" post

i was going to say "for some reason" because i was confused but then i realized it was because the summer sale literally just started it was really not a mystery LOL

#mypost #its still funny to me that i was like. Looking at it immediately before it happened. #why was i looking at the steam page for a game i already own well that is a mystery forever... #(i was making an observation about how its little blurb thing is advertising a really ancient and highly specific workshop update)
