this is super random, but i noticed your pinned post is almost a year old,, im not really sure when exactly you’ve started your writing blog, but i presume it should be around this given timeframe so,, *deep breaths* here it goes
hi mao :> i think we’ve known each other for around 4 months now? lmao its funny how i still remember the first time i reached out to you, asking for advice on how to write better while i was a beginner,, during that period, i’ve never actually talked to anyone on tumblr, but i sincerely admired the way you wrote and i saw you as this really amazing person,, so i kind of thought, fuck it, i’ll just send her an ask and tell her how much i like it *cries in nonexistent social skills*
i don’t know when it started, but i think the more i sent mails, whether to ask you something or just randomly gush about shit, i just naturally looked forward to your responses because it was so nice to finally talk to someone on this app — and then i slowly began to realize that you weren’t just this great writer or artist who had a fucking fantastic way with words…you were just a person like everyone else. an equal with me, yet an undeniably nice one at that.
i seriously consider you as a great friend! we don’t always talk much and usually only communicate through asks, but it’s already enough for me to know that you’re doing okay \^.^/ you’ve been nothing but kind since we first talked, and maybe you think it’s only natural to be so, but it genuinely means a lot to me (and im certain others feel the same way about it too)!
to me, you have always been a generally cool and interesting person to associate with, and im super grateful to have met you :)) it hasn’t been long, but talking with you for me has been a fun experience! although it’s only virtual, and at the end of the day not everyone really knows each other irl — i hope you still realize how much we all truly appreciate you, even if you don’t always hear it enough <3
you’re a great person mao, really! i sincerely wish nothing but the best for you, and even better things to come :)) and if you’re comfortable with it, i hope we can also become closer friends too >.< *cries in nonexistent social skills pt. 2*
anyway, that’s all hehe *dies inside why am i so bad at this* hhh im really sorry for clogging up the inbox and the message becoming so lengthy T_T but again, happy one year bestie! here’s to the wonderful days and memories you’ve made, including so much more for you to come <33
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
damn it zaly you're too sweet oh my god you're killing me
i... know that im quiet, not the kind of mutual that can pop up in your inbox regularly, so im honestly......... really touched that you think of me as a friend.... even though im like this... i feel guilty every time someone tries to reach out to me and i cant do the same for them, way too inactive on social media cuz im preoccupied with other things, so messages like these really..... hh
i dont know if you actually know how much i appreciate you just occasionally sending asks??? asking how im doing?? you're too nice for me i swear. (also i find it funny you asked me for advice even though i think your writing's so much better and magical- i followed you the instant i sped through your blog haha)
i love seeing your posts on my dashboard on the times i log in!! i always read them, whether it be fics or snippets of your daily life, and im... embarrassingly... too shy to even send a simple "i hope you have a good day" or "good luck in your test" or "omg this fic you posted was fantastic!!" though i do hope you're doing well...
aaaa what is this ramble
nevertheless- i'm truly lucky to have met someone as kind and amazing as you... it means a lot to me that you send messages like this. it was such a surprise to see this in my inbox!! which makes me feel more horrible i didn't answer sooner oh my god i am so sorry
it's been one year for me yet i didn't think anyone would notice...... but from here on out, i hope we talk more bestie :)) i'd love to be closer friends!!!!

Sorry to bother, but where do autistic and adhd brains overlap? Because both are neurodivergent (and beautiful, I agree) But how can I find out which behaviour belongs more to me being autistic (got diagnosed this year) and which is adhd? (No Matter What Deadline, after several years in hostile environment (failed university, then call center work) I panic. Hard.) How do I disentangle adhd and autism to find out what strategies to use to function better?
Please don’t feel like you’re being a bother, because you’re not! Honestly the fact that someone is coming to me to ask ADHD questions makes me teary-eyed, because I’ve fought so hard to learn to function with ADHD that people Asking Me Things like I’m a trusted expert just makes my heart grow three sizes, the opposite of the Grinch.
I’m probably not the best person to ask about how ADHD and autism overlap specifically, especially if you’re taking this from an autistic POV. And I’m also not a behavioral expert, which is a very strong preface. But I can (and am very happy to) talk a bit about my experiences with ADHD and how I’ve learned to make things work for my brain.
I’m going to put this under a cut, if that’s okay with you, anon. It got kind of long and I don’t want to overrun anyone’s dash. And you can always, always ask me ADHD questions, and I’ll try my best to answer.
My ADHD tends to manifest specifically in the following ways:
Extreme hyperfixation that has its own varying degrees (e.g., I’m really into Fire Emblem: Three Houses, but I have so lack of interest in Byleth/Claude that my lack of interest feels like an actual void)
An inability to process feelings regarding things other people care strongly about that I don’t. If we’re using the same fandom example: I could rant forever about how Byleth/Edelgard gives me ALL THE FEELS, but if I friend I care about started to talk about Byleth/Claude, I would immediately lose all interest in the conversation and struggle to react in a way that doesn’t present me as a selfish monster who doesn’t care about the person I’m talking to.
I tend to monopolize conversation if I’m given the opportunity because I LOVE getting the chance to talk about my hyperfixations. If someone cuts me off when I’m really into a topic, I get incredibly irritated and have to try to restrain from myself from acting petty in response. The number of times I have smiled my mouth is a knife and said, “ANYWAY, as I WAS SAYING…” is beyond count.
I don’t recognize or remember people until I have something meaningful to associate them with. I also don’t tend to notice things that don’t clock themselves as Important in my brain. I usually describe this as “background furniture.” Even PEOPLE become background furniture. A girl I work with mentioned a person on her team had quit, and I’d literally walked by that person’s desk earlier that day and didn’t notice it was empty, because that person and the entire space they occupied was background scenery.
If something affects or touches me personally, it hits me Very Personally. I had a complete fucking breakdown watching the video of Philando Castille’s shooting, because I heard his daughter crying while she watched him getting shot and went down onto a spiral of personal loss over my own father to gun violence and started to immediately correlate the two. Separating ADHD brainness from my  whiteness is complex and hard and (said sarcastically) so, so much fun.
The direct inverse of that are things like: I’m talking to my mom, who’s telling me about a high school friend of hers just got into a horrific vehicle accident and is in the ICU. My mom then goes on to give me regular status updates on this woman I don’t know. I get out of work, and she talks about this woman’s surgery. I get out of work, and she talks about this woman’s family’s attempt to find an adequate rehab center. They find a rehab center, and my mom shows me how her friend decorated her daughter’s room. My mom shows me a video of the girl working with a physical therapist, who gets her to push herself upright with a walker and take her tentative steps. “Awesome!” my brain thinks. “Great!” my brain thinks. All of it spans over several days, weeks, months. I have nothing to do with this constant influx of information. I don’t know how my brain should file it. I don’t know this woman who was injured. I feel for her in theory because no one should ever have to go through that even though so many people do, but I haven’t ACTIVELY PRETEND like I personally am invested in the situation or else my mother gives me Concerned Eyes because I seem to be In A Bad Mood Today.
When it comes to organization, I tend to lean towards hyper-organization rather than hypo-organization. By which I mean I over-organize to combat the fact that ADHD often results in disorganization, and disorganization results in chaos, and chaos gives me COMPLETE PANIC ATTACKS. At work at one point, I had my emails auto-tagging every incoming email based on the email type, on top of tagging for my clients. Every label had a different color, and it all made sense to me, because I’d made it. When my team had cover my stuff on a day I was out, my inbox was such a horror show that it left them feeling drained and distressed.
Let’s talk about socialization! I have a rocky relationship with my childhood best friend. When I discovered social justice in college, I started picking fights with everyone over everything Problematique. The first major fight I had with my best friend at the time was because she felt I was over-aggressive towards a mutual male friend of ours. She was probably right, because I know the kind of bullying behavior I later developed. I thought I learned from it. After the 2016 election, I messaged her on FB, thinking I had a sympathetic ear, to say that seeing her mother post constant messages of support for Trump and sharing stuff dismissing Trump’s sexual assault allegations was particularly hurtful considering I’d told my friend that my mom had been sexually assaulted.. I’m not going to share what she said, but she wasn’t in the wrong. We didn’t talk for several months after that.
Speaking of her! When she started dating the guy she’s now married to, at one point I asked her if they’d had sex yet. I asked it because I thought it was a thing you were Supposed To Talk About as friends, and also because I was, in a way, morbidly curious, because I’m grey-ace and queer. She confirmed that they had, but I still felt so icky and uncomfortable about that for so long afterwards. It was only after I started to understand that I’m not cis and not allo that I really understood why: I was forcing myself to perform what I thought female friendship was based on how it’s portrayed in media, and it’s only once I began to understand that I’m on the ace spectrum and that I’m nonbinary that I really started to understand how forced mainstream conversations of attraction are.
I’m loud! I’m loud! I’m loud! I’m loud all the time! I live with my mom and I socialize with my mom and when we’re in public spaces and I’m talking about something that interests me, she always, always, always feels like she has to shush me. What makes it ironic? If there are other people being loud around me, I can’t function. I can’t process the noise. It’s EVEN WORSE if they’re speaking in another language, because if it’s English I can process the words at least, but if it’s another language, it’s just pure, inescapable sound that I know has meaning but can’t intuit, and if I can’t understand something, that’s as bad as dying.
From what I’ve read about autism, here are ways I THINK my ADHD traits overlap with autistic traits:
I can’t read facial expressions. I think I have a better concept of emotional nuance in facial expressions than someone who’s strictly autistic, but I’ll still panic when I see a smile that isn’t bland enough. RDS (rejection-sensitive dysphoria) will kick in. They hate me, they hate me, they hate me, is the track my brain will play on repeat until I’ve drunk myself into oblivion. Whenever someone smiles, I mistrust it immediately.
Eye contact is incredibly fucking frustrating. I understand that it’s expected, but it’s SO UNCOMFORTABLE. Why do we need to stare into each other’s eyes to understand one another? How can you people write whole treatises on the sanctity of locking gazes and finding an instant intellectual bond without realizing that eye contact that’s not called for is personally invasive?
I can’t understand flirting vs not flirting to the point that I’m absolutely paranoid someone is flirting with me, at which point I usually become hostile if I think they ARE, because DON’T FLIRT WITH ME. TALK to me!
I hate, hate, hate unsolicited physical contact. If I’m in a state of over-expression, I hate it even more. I’m not physically withdrawn, because I love hugs, and cuddles, and human touch. But when I’ve spent the entire day listening to other people talk and I have to walk into a room where people continue to talk, if someone touches me, it’s fucking No-Oh-One.
Someone is interested in a thing I’m interested in. We’ll use Persona 5 as the concept, because this honestly happened recently. I talk with the guy whose desk is across from mine about Persona 5 all the time. He’s also excited about Royal. I started going into my Sophia theory that I’ve really only lobbied at @softspokensansa. I could see, I could viscerally see, the interest drain from his expression. BUT I HAVE AN IDEA SO I WILL TALK ABOUT IT ANYWAY, and then afterwards I felt incredibly resentful that I was being filtered through a cookie-cutter drain.
It’s painful–it’s really painful!–to try to talk about my spiritual ideas with other people. I have a side blog I just started and am preppy myself to share, and I’m absofuckinglutely TERRIFIED everyone is going to write me off without looking at what I have to say. IT’S THE RSD AGAIN! Nothing I ever said has actually mattered before, so why should it now?
I feel, constantly, like I’m halfway between a point of reality and a point of something. What that something is is indefinable, but regardless of it, I exist.
I’d like to direct you to two very positive youtubers I know; I meant to do this earlier, but now feels right in terms of how I’ve written: How To ADHD and Amethyst Schaber.I credit both of them in helping me find a safe place with ADHD before diagnosis. There are stories other than yours that matter.
I wish you the best, anon! If you think you’re autistic and ADHD: given the comorbidity between the two, you probably are! And ADHD is just as beautiful, complicated, and misunderstood as autism is.
If anyone reading this can speak to living as both autistic and ADHD, please respond so I can lift your voice. And to my anon: you’re beautiful completely. I hope my story has helped you in its anyway, and I hope that you find yourself at a place of peace. It’s a struggle to get there, but it’s worth it, every step of the way.

Hello! Not sure if other people asked you about this already but have you read Ashihara's comment for this Jump SQ issue? In Viz's translation he said "20-page increments", what does that exactly mean? Or is this a mistranslation?
Hi back! First, some apologies as I have been on Tumblr even less recently. Some of it is me being distracted (and let me take this chance to thank the people who were very understanding about my distractions and other nice messages! My copy of the Supersons Omnibus recently came in the mail, so distractions are definitely still happening >.>) but some of it is also me figuring out setting up my blog somewhere else (which is also still happening…soon…). Either way, I’m sorry that I took so long to answer asks, some of them are now obsolete, like this one.
To be fair, Ashihara’s comment was pretty vague, but with this issue I think we can infer that he means he is continuing with the pace of about 20 pages per chapter and 2 chapters per issue. Whether he can maintain this pace is something we will have to wait and see.
In any case, I will definitely try not to wait until the next issue of Jump before answering some of the asks still in my inbox. But for now, on to the translation:

Arashiyama: This is…the wider the field ofvision of an Agent, the more likely they’ll be caught out
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Arashiyama: On the other hand, Agent Hus
Arashiyama: Also planned for just in caseand left half of his bullets by his side
Panel 2
Arashiyama: Taking Captain Azuma’s mobilityeven as he fell at the end there
Arashiyama: And making withdrawal anecessityArashiyama: I think that decision Agent Hus made was very appropriate
Panel 3
Yuitsuka: …well then, once again
Yuitsuka: Let’s look back on the match andplease give us your evaluation
Panel 4
Inukai: If we’re speaking of the openingphase, Suzunari’s darkness strategy was interesting
Panel 5
Inukai: I was thinking it during the match tooInukai: I think they would have gotten more hits if the opponent wasn’t Kage
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Inukai: Well, the result is that Suzunaristopped at 1 point
Inukai: And Taichi-kun was taken outwithout making a single shot though
Panel 2
*sob*
Panel 3
Taichi: My strategy failed…
Taichi: So frustrating…
*sob*
Kuruma: Just being able to throw offKageura-kun means we got a good reactionKuruma: It’s fine
Taichi: Really…?
Panel 4
Arashiyama: Suzunari First’s basic strategyis evolving too
Arashiyama: And on top of that, if they canmake the opponent think ‘there’s no predicting what they’d do’Arashiyama: I think that will become a strength for them in the future
Panel 5
*brighten*
Taichi: Arashiyama-san…!
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Inukai: The middle phase, from whenTamakoma joined inInukai: Was just
Inukai: Escudo being OP
Panel 2
Inukai: It’s amazing enough he didn’t runout of trion even after so many
Inukai: But I was surprised by how he usedthemInukai: Like growing them out of people
Panel 3
Arashiyama: There are two Escudo users inTamakoma branch, Agent Jin and Agent Karasuma
Arashiyama: So he might have gotten hintsfrom them
Panel 4
Hus: I was taught by Torimaru, but not byJin
*pout*
Panel 5
Inukai: Well, Kou-kun was as badass asusual
Inukai: And I thought Tamakoma and Suzunariwere a fair match…
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Inukai: But Kuga-kun had some understatedlynice moves
Arashiyama: That’s right
Panel 2
Arashiyama: This time Agent Hus’sactivities made a large impactArashiyama: But I thought Agent Kuga’s attentive support overall was just asbig
Panel 3
Yuitsuka: So you are saying that he allowedAgent Hus to capitalise further on his abilities
Arashiyama: That’s right
Panel 4
*reach*
Tumblr media
Panel 1
*bump*
Panel 2
Inukai: On the other hand
Inukai: Kage’s movements were pretty lacking
Panel 3
Inukai: Usually it’s like he has morecomposure
Inukai: But it felt like he was morecareful, or more passive
Panel 4
Inukai: Kage trying desperately to run atthe end
Inukai: Also wasn’t like him
Panel 5
Yuzuru: …really?
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Kitazoe: Hmmm, well, he might have been alittle worked up
Kitazoe: Since you getting in the selection for the expedition hangs on this
Yuzuru: Eh
Panel 2
Yuzuru:My…?
Panel 3
Kageura: …oi
Panel 5
Kageura: …it’s not the end
Kageura: It’s been a while since I foundsomething I wanna do
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Yuzuru:…!
Panel 2
Yuzuru: …
Yuzuru: Yeah…!
Panel 3
Inukai: …and then
Inukai: It’s Amatori-chan’s Hyper Meteora
Panel 4
Inukai: The result is that Azuma squadchose to retreatInukai: But that was decided by Koara and Okkun, right?
Yuitsuka: Based on Azuma-san’s trainingpolicy, it should be
Panel 5
Inukai: Putting aside Okkun, it’sunexpected for Koara to choose withdrawal
Inukai: I thought he’d try for one lastchance up to the end
Arashiyama: You can feel his growth
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Koarai: Even if he says I’ve grown
*sigh*
Koarai: Frankly we couldn’t do anything butrun…
Panel 2
Azuma: No
Azuma: With this I know you can judge asituation properly
Panel 3
Azuma: Up to now we have limited you tocoordinating as an Attacker
Azuma: But it’s about time to full-out liftthe ban on sub triggers
Panel 4
*clatter*
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Okudera: Really!?
Koarai: I want Hound!
Azuma: Make sure you discuss it properlywith your trion
Panel 2
Inukai: Well, in the end, my impression thistime is
Inukai: ‘Tamakoma’s scary’Inukai: Basically
Panel 3
Arashiyama: Fully capitalising on therebeing no data on Agent Hus
Arashiyama: And reliably earning points isjust like Tamakoma, I thought
Yuitsuka: I see
Panel 4
Osamu: …Hus
Panel 5
Osamu: You said during the matchOsamu: ‘The reason you won’t use Viper’
Osamu: Just what was that?
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Hus: …my planHus: Was to steal a big lead from Kageura squadHus: But
Panel 2
Hus: The moment Kageura became Suzunari’spointHus: Considering the environment is ‘night’Hus: And Azuma’s forte are strategies that try to get to time’s up
Hus: There was the possibility that wecan’t earn that many points
Panel 3
Hus: If we can’t create a decisive gap thismatchHus: Then the importance of the next match increases
Osamu: …!
Panel 4
Hus: In that case, there is no cause tounnecessarily reveal our hand
Hus: Is what I thought, that’s all
Panel 5
Osamu: …
Osamu:He was already thinking of what’s next
Osamu:In the middle of that match…!
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Hus: Iwill definitely take this team on the expedition
Panel 2
Yuuma:He’s very earnest
Panel 3
Osamu:This guy…
Panel 4
Osamu:He’s really
Osamu:That kind of guy…
Tumblr media
Panel 1
Yuitsuka: …and now, the overall ranking
Yuitsuka: Though as the evening divisionstill remains, this is still tentative…
Panel 2
Yuitsuka: Kageura squad and Tamakoma Secondare tied with the same points!Yuitsuka: In these cases, the team with the higher ranking at the start of theseason goes on top
Yuitsuka: So Kageura squad is No.2 andTamakoma is No.3!
Panel 3
Yuitsuka: The battle around the conditionto enter the selection for the expedition, ‘B-rank No.2 or above’Yuitsuka: Will remain complicated until the end, it seems!
Panel 4
Yuitsuka: With this, Round 7 day divisioncomes to a closeYuitsuka: Arashiyama-san, Inukai-sempaiYuitsuka: Thank you for commentating
Arashiyama: Thank you for having us
Inukai: You did some good work too,Yuitsuka-chan

Tumblr media
Panel 1
Izumi: Doesn’t this mean you guys’ll have abig role, Ninomiya-san?Izumi: Whether Tamakoma makes it into the selection for the expedition or not
Izumi: Match up-wise, there’s a high chanceyou’ll get Tamakoma next
Ninomiya: Who knows
Panel 2
Tsuji: As far as it goes, it seems there’sa tendencyTsuji: Where the less match ups you had in the past means the higher thepossibility of facing each otherTsuji: But there’s still a balance to be struck with the other teams too

UntilThe B-rank Rank Wars FinalRound 8
4More Days
1. I always enjoy noticeable character growth, and their last match didn't really show much of how Azuma squad's Attackers learned from their experience in the Invasion, so it's nice to see it being highlighted here. I really hope we get a double POV with both the expedition and what the ones left behind are doing because I'd love to see more of Azuma squad once they've dabbled more with sub-triggers since I doubt they’ll be going on the expedition (and the thing is, in another manga it'd probably cut straight to Azuma squad showing up later with new sub-triggers and a short flashback to let us know they started due to the results of this match, but because this is World Trigger it's seeded early in the story to be expanded on in the future)
2. As usual, there are some interesting parallels between Tamakoma and the other teams - this time both Osamu (and Yuuma's) protectiveness of Chika like Suzunari's protectiveness of Kuruma get used against them. In fact, Azuma in general acts a lot like Tamakoma squad has been up until now: creating a target Tamakoma has to react to (what happened to Arafune squad in R2), making his enemies think he's somewhere then popping up somewhere else (what happened to Akane in R3) etc etc
3. The thing is, Osamu's reasoning isn't even wrong necessarily, about the importance of Chika to their strategy. The problem is that this reasoning of Osamu's is really noticeable (to both Arashiyama and Inukai) and really obviously being used by Azuma. Guaranteeing a way for opponents to make Osamu act in a specific way is just asking for trouble (and that's basically Tamakoma's main strategy). Of course, Tamakoma also knows Azuma just as well, and at least Yuuma is always there making up for Osamu's actions.
4. Back on the subject of parallels, we also have Kitazoe and Hus and how their actions managed to benefit their team even as they bailout.
5. A good reminder from Azuma about making sure their trion can hold up to new triggers, since Koarai at 4 has one of the lowest (in fact, he's tied last of the Border characters we have trion values for, except for Osamu the exception of course), but if Kitora can be an A-rank Allrounder with that then I'm sure Koarai will be fine.
5. Also some nice parallels to Ninomiya and Izumi's first conversation in-story as well, with Ninomiya using the exact wording even.
6. In conclusion, is it just me or is Tsuji's jacket shiny...? Is this a Koma-san fashion disaster again, or just what Ashihara thinks happens with boys who can't talk to girls?

Please Also Note:
I do not require length to be matched and may not always match partner’s length. I will respond as much as I feel I am able to or that I feel is necessary.

while I can be very laid back / crack-ish, I do prefer to explore darker themes and my thread responses are much more serious than I come off as.
Blacklisted / Ask to Tag:
nsfw (for general safe scrolling)
“little space” related
“daddy,” “mommy,” etc
a/o/b related
pregnancy related
vivid depiction of sensory / memory alteration (particularly in images, but not excluded to)
unreality (also especially, but not limited to, images)
Of course I can’t require people tag these, but I will most likely not follow you if your post these regularly and do not have some warning which will be picked up by blacklist applications.
In regards to the sensory alteration, I mean things like seeing/hearing/etc things that aren’t there, mis-remembering or outright tampering with memory, etc. It’s kind of situation to situation on what gets me, but when it does it tends to hit me pretty hard. If you have any questions about it, fire away! [ example text post ]
On unreality, this somewhat relates to the above, I use this as a catch all phrase for images, vivid descriptions, and most especially videos/gifs of things that basically don’t behave or seem to behave as they should. Sometimes, I’ve seen these things tagged as “trippy” and the like, but they those posts tend to be too…idk how to put it. Extra? What tends to get me is when things are going fairly linear and then suddenly go for a loop. That’s not the greatest description, but here’s a few posts that have triggered me the worst that I’ve slowly gotten used to.  There are also things which should seem fine or normal but aren’t. If anyone has a better description for this, by all means let me know! example posts [ one ] / [ two ] /  [ three ] + a weird image that also gets me for some reason. hmvent is actually a blog I use to store things that trigger me so I can slowly get used to them or try and figure out what it is / why these things get to me.

META 
Hayner is a young lad who resides in the sleepy Twilight Town. He is described as “impulsive and determined, and is always looking for a new adventure. He is bold to the point of recklessness…He gets bored easily during uneventful times… also easily angered/irked…thirsts for some kind of recognition…” During the events of KHII, he is 15, the same as Roxas/Sora. He has deep brown eyes, dirty blond hair and is a bit tall and, while still skinny, muscular for his age. He is the leader of his quartet trio including Pence, Olette and Roxas himself.
While he does have parents, he’s rather distant from them. While he does receive support from his folks, they were just never really there. Because of this, his loyalties lie greatly with his chosen family, his friends. He considers it his duty to help, lead and, if needed, protect them, even if he’d never admit as much even to himself. If any of his actions or ideas end up hurting someone he cares about, he takes it very much to heart, often beating himself up about it for weeks and weeks after.
Hayner, despite his hotheadedness and brashness, is a very observant leader. His tough guy act, while not entirely based on this, is partially to build himself up, make other less inclined to pick fights with him and his friends. Whether or not this works out, however, is certainly debatable. He also does his best to incorporate his friends’ wants and needs– or at least what he perceives these as– into his plans.
As oblivious as he may seem, he is quite mindful of the people around him. Whether it’s picking out the shady figure on that street corner or this one, or noticing some random kid’s not having a good day - he sees a lot of it, but often it doesn’t strike as a huge priority. He thinks things through a lot more than he’s credited for, but unfortunately, he doesn’t go through the whole process before starting his plan of action.
Hayner also isn’t exactly the most social person. He is outgoing and nice to people out of politeness and giving people the benefit of the doubt, but as a whole he’d much rather just stick with his friends. The only exception to this has been Sora, as he feels a “familiar vibe” about him, and therefore is also open to his circle of friends.
A couple more misc hcs below:
Is a very exceptional swordsman (at least with the training swords). However, his skills do not seem as outstanding compared to that of Roxas and other more major characters.
As much as he hates school, his best subject science. And although one would think he’d be a good athlete because he is competitive, he actually doesn’t have good PE grades because he doesn’t try if he doesn’t have to. The only way to get him to really participate is to make it a competition.
MORE WILL BE ADDED MARCH, 2019 TO INCLUDE SPOILERS FOR KH3
AU Info will be added shortly.

IMPORTANT OOC ANNOUNCEMENT!! (warning its kinda long oops)
Hello everyone! Toby here, the blog runner and artist behind it all. Sorry to post another OOC thing, but this i think it’s really important i do this because i REALLY wanna get back into the swing of having sonic, amy, and shadow answer shit but there’s something i need to get out of the way first. TLDR: i’m making some retcons for some stuff so i can get this blog back on track, and also gonna clean my inbox out so i update more regularly
MORE UNDER THE CUT!!
and well, seeing as there is literally over a thousand of you following this blog now... i think i probably shouldn’t leave the audience hanging anymore XD
Tumblr media
yeah... i just noticed that. wow. thank you so much you guys! it really means a lot to me that you all liked my throw away ask blog for these three dorks ;w;
I know i probably sound like a broken record at this point, but i wanted to once again apologize for all the inactivity. i’ve been... busy with other things like irl stuff, drawing things for myself and working on some biiiig projects so my art motivation has been other places. however, those are not the only reasons i’ve been on standby. i have a bit of a confession to make, and i’m gonna need y’all to hear me out on this...
i’m kinda stuck?
see, regarding the last couple updates i made with this blog (regarding sonic and amy’s situation), i kinda feel like i ran myself into a corner in a way. originally, i saw this as an opportunity to throw in some nice character development for amy and sonic’s friendship since that kinda stuff is my ultimate jam, and i wanted to flex my amy headcanon’s too. i’ve seen other ask blogs do stuff like that before and thought it would be a fun thing to try out since this is well, kinda my first time running a successful ask blog O.O
but it didn’t really occur to me until after i posted the answered ask that while i may love that kind of stuff, it’s not really...the theme i previously established for this blog? this blog is mostly a parody ask blog for silly doodles, memes, cute asks, and satire humor with a little bit of ambiguous shipping thrown into the mix (its up to the viewer’s interpretation really)
the characters on this ask blog having drama and emotional flair ups and essentially things being taken seriously like the last couple updates isn’t really what i had envisioned for this blog when i started it, and now that i’ve laid out this situation for amy and sonic... i feel like i’ve strayed away from what the big picture is. plus, it also ended up with shadow being a bit of a third wheel which is what i dont want, either. all characters on this ask blog are important and what make their interactions so fun.
i’ve been debating on if i wanted to just continue on with this well...story that’s kinda snowballed and let it sort itself out, but the more i think about it the more unmotivated i become because honestly speaking, i don’t really have the time or energy to keep a consistent plot moving for a blog like this. ^^; (another reason why this was originally just a parody blog)
and well... i’ve come to the conclusion that if i wanna continue this blog the way i wanna continue it, then i’m gonna have to do some unfortunate retconning. now this isn’t because i dislike sonic and amy having character development on their friendship (because chaos knows i love it), i just don’t feel the theme that post has to it fits here on this blog’s overall vibe. it just doesn’t work here.   and i’m really sorry if that post was what you came here for DX i promise it was never my intention to trick anyone into thinking this blog was something else...
that being said, i’m gonna take the last two posts down. i’m sorry to say... but i want this blog to be an overall place of humor and fun and i want the theme to stay as consistent as i can make it. HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean the sonic and amy post will be no longer available to view! i plan to reupload it to my art blog so it can be its OWN self contained little thing, because personally i think its short and sweet enough in it’s own right to exist as its own little comic, i guess :O plus, it would be a little awkward to add shadow in with the ending i gave it...
sorry about this guys ^^; i hope you can understand, this blog has been a learning experience for me and well, we all make mistakes sometimes. even if some people don’t perceive them as real mistakes... i have a better understanding of how i want to portray sonic, amy and shadow on this blog now. i think that is what’s important :O  if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me through instant messenger! i’d rather not talk about it through asks since that is more for answering questions for sonic/amy/shadow :O if you do send me an ask about it... i’ll probably delete it. sorry ^^; thats just gonna be the way it is (for now), because i really wanna cut back on the OOC posts.
SPEAKING OF THE INBOX!
i have a large pile-up of asks sitting in there that ugh... realistically i’ll never be able to get to them all. i’m sorry to say >.< i just dont have the time or energy to do so, and at this point i just feel really disorganized with how many there are. (there are still some left over from when i first started this blog MONTHS ago that i felt too guilty to just delete...)
so i think, what i’m gonna do is i’m gonna do a complete inbox sweep. i’m gonna clear out all the asks and get ready to re-open the inbox again!  i’m sorry if your question never got answered DX i’m doing the best i can and i can only really pick the asks that give me the most creative inspiration to answer. i wanna entertain and be funny but if i can’t think of anything to work with on your ask, i promise it’s never your fault! i just couldn’t think of anything and ended up skipping over it because there’s...a lot to pick from.
i’ll make another post once i’m ready to open the inbox again. until then, thank you so much for reading this and understanding, and again HUGE thanks for 1,000 followers! WOW!
be sure to visit my art blog for the sonic and amy comic because i’ll be posting it there very soon! as for opening the inbox again, i will for sure do so very soon! i might even be able to do some asks sometime this week or leading into next weekend, we will see ^^;
hope you all are having a nice day! thanks again for reading! (sorry its so long ;o; )

SMS Marketing Doesn’t Suck: Here’s How to Use it To Generate Revenue
New Post has been published on https://walrusvideo.com/sms-marketing-doesnt-suck-heres-how-to-use-it-to-generate-revenue/
SMS Marketing Doesn’t Suck: Here’s How to Use it To Generate Revenue
Did you know the average person checks their phone
160 times a day
?
Which is just one of the reasons SMS marketing no longer sucks.
Forty-six percent of people
say they check their phones before they even get out of bed.
The point is that people keep their phones handy and are always ready to use them to find information or check the latest social media updates.
Plus, open rates for texts vastly surpass email —
98 percent versus just 20 percent for email.
Mobile advertising works, but only if your message makes it to the consumer’s inbox, and only if your ad is mobile-optimized.
It’s the only way to steer clear of the noise and get a positive return on investment.
Most online marketers laugh at the idea of SMS marketing because they think it’s more regulated than email marketing. But that’s a
myth
.
Watered-down, mobile-targeting tactics are costing you conversions, clients, and revenue.
Meanwhile, SMS marketing is lurking in the background, waiting for you to capitalize on it.
Here’s why (and how) you should revisit SMS marketing to generate revenue.
The Many Advantages of SMS Marketing
Do you think
Instagram
has good engagement numbers?
Wait until you see what text messages get.
SMS Marketing Advantage #1. Texting Has The Best Engagement Rate of Any Marketing Medium
Emails can sit unread for days, phone calls can go unanswered, but text messages are almost always read immediately after they’re sent.
We already talked about the comparatively dismal open rates for email. The average CTR for PPC ads is even worse at
2%
.
The point is that SMS marketing is underrated and underappreciated.
But nothing great comes without its catch.
It’s neither ethical nor legal to send unsolicited messages with text-message marketing.
You need a written opt-in.
Fortunately, customers have an easy way to opt themselves in — or out — straight from their mobile phones with most text-marketing services.
Using
Attentive’s
patent-pending “two-tap” technology, customers can opt-in to a brand’s text messaging subscriber list seamlessly from their mobile website, social media, or other digital channels.
With one tap, a message will populate in their message inbox. They simply press send on the pre-populated text message to opt-in and receive a welcome message.
Here are some of the advantages of mobile text messaging.
SMS Marketing Advantage #2. It’s Trackable
There are countless texting platforms that allow you to manage your campaign all from your desktop.
Find a solution that will give you access to detailed analytics that lets you track each step in the conversion process, starting with the initial delivery and opening.
SMS Marketing Advantage #3.
You Can Leverage Interactive Content
Mobile messaging makes it possible to get feedback from your recipients quickly via a quick tap on the ‘reply’ button or a click on your link.
You can deliver quick, simple messages that direct subscribers back to your site.
For example,
Chipotle
excels at using mobile messaging to drive sales.
It’s short and sweet. It gets straight to the point with “free chips and guac” if you play their game.
Not a bad deal, right?
Especially since they have queso now, too.
Get creative with your text-marketing campaigns and take a page out of the Chipotle playbook.
SMS Marketing Advantage #4. Immediate Delivery
Overall, mobile marketing is fast. Once you press “send,” your message goes out instantly.
You can set up a campaign and have hundreds of clicks within minutes.
SMS Marketing Advantage #5. Add a Personal Touch
Sending a text message via your mobile device gives you an informal opportunity to personalize the message.
For example,
the Banana Republic
often sends text messages that include words like “friends” and “your.”
Using words like “you” and “I” is one of my favorite techniques for driving engagement.
The Banana Republic also does an excellent job of tapping into local events that are relevant to the recipient.
See? The opportunities with SMS are endless.
You can personalize your message, direct users to fun games where they can win coupons, and track every step of the conversion process.
Here’s how it works.
The Basic Components of SMS Marketing
The two basic components of a typical SMS-marketing campaign are the keyword and the shortcode. Here’s an example:
Text “POPCORN” to 555555 for our weekly list of flavors!
“POPCORN” is the keyword that gets placed in the body of the message.
“555555” is the shortcode that gets put in the recipient box.
When a customer sends that message, they’re “opting in” to your campaign. It’s as easy as that.
From there you can do a few different things.
Go ahead and send them a single, automated response to follow up and let them know what to expect next. Or you can just add them to a list that will send additional texts over time.
There are other ways to get customers to opt-in. Let them check a box on an order form or
submit their phone numbers online
.
Numbers received this last way have to be confirmed, however, since a customer could always enter a number incorrectly.
So before you add them to a campaign, you’ll have to confirm their participation with another message.
For example, you could send. “Text ‘YES’ to receive weekly coupons.”
Once they’ve opted in, customers can also respond to your messages with sub-keywords.
For example, sending the phrase “Hours” could trigger an automated text to send business hours, and “Stop” could remove the subscriber from the list.
Allowing customers to use sub-keywords gives them a way to interact with your business. It also enables them to opt-out of your campaign if they wish to stop receiving messages.
Once you’ve got the basics down, you can tap into creative ideas — like Chipotle’s game, which we covered earlier.
SMS Marketing Strategies to Try
Mobile texting tactics are diverse.
However, they should be pretty familiar if you’ve already run
social promotions and contests
.
For example, you can send coupons, drive traffic, or engage people through fun, simple games.
Here are some of the best potential uses for SMS marketing.
SMS Marketing Tip #1. Coupons and Exclusive Deals
Start by creating uniquely-generated coupon codes to prevent non-subscribers from taking advantage of your deal.
That way, people have to subscribe to save.
Check out this example from
Redbox
:
Redbox also takes advantage of “add to wallet.”
It’s giving you a simple one-click option to hook up your phone’s payment system with its offer.
Plus, the subscriber gets an extra incentive for taking this additional step. Customers don’t have to take an extra step to pay when they want to rent movies.
SMS Marketing Tip #2. Use Drip Campaigns
Drip campaigns
are automated messages sent based on specific factors, such as how long someone has been a customer.
Think of this as just another form of
marketing automation
.
You can create triggers or tailored responses depending on each individual’s status.
In the context of coupons, for example, you could send a 5 percent off coupon right after the subscriber signs up, a 10 percent coupon after three weeks, and a 20 percent off coupon after two months.
The longer they stick around, the bigger the potential bonus. So you’re incentivizing the action you want.
Best of all, you can schedule these to run automatically.
One will be sent as soon as a customer signs up or opts in. That way, you don’t need to keep sending individual messages.
SMS Marketing Tip #3. Poll Your Customers
Polls let your customers text different keywords to cast a vote.
With most services, you can
run polls
to collect responses over a period of time and graph the responses from your online dashboard.
These are relatively simple when you think about it.
However, they offer an interesting content piece.
You can use the results internally to improve your operations.
Or you can reuse the results in both blog and social content to leverage your unique, proprietary information.
The people who left an answer will also be more eager to find out what the eventual results were and even help you share them.
SMS Marketing Tip #4. Run a Sweepstakes Contest
You can have customers sign themselves up for sweepstakes by texting a particular keyword.
Once again, this is a standard promotion tactic.
You can select some winners from everyone who opts in. Or you can also give away a smaller prize to every person who texts your keyword.
You can even use it as an opportunity for cross-promotions.
Sterling Vineyards and Uber did that to give away free rides to Sterling’s customer base.
SMS Marketing Tip #5. Send Photos and Videos
In addition to actual text SMS messaging, you can also send photos and videos.
Here’s what I mean.
Let’s say you wanted to send an eBook preview or another image-style CTA.
Check out this example I created to see what’s possible with just a few minutes worth of work.
Want to create this type of marketing message? I’ll show you how a bit later in this piece.
Use Facebook to Grow Your SMS List
Instead of putting all of your eggs in one basket, use multiple channels to segment subscribers.
SMS and
Facebook Ads
are excellent on their own. But they can be even better when you use them together.
I recommend checking out Facebook’s
lead ads
to integrate with your SMS campaigns.
Lead ads are great for collecting data and information to build up a large subscriber base.
Here’s how to get started.
Head to the Facebook Ads Manager and create a new ad, selecting lead generation as your objective.
After you’ve set your target audience, budget, and placements, head down to the lead form option to set up your ad and collect phone numbers.
Here’s what the finished product should look like.
Now you get a multi-step form that doesn’t bombard the user with an instant information grab.
Instead, it uses multiple steps to warm them up to your offer.
Pretty cool, right?
Here’s what the second step of the form looks like.
Once you’ve configured your settings, you’ve got a simple way to collect phone numbers immediately.
That means you’re almost ready to start getting your first SMS campaign off the ground.
How to Automate SMS Marketing
Since we’re into the idea of working smarter and not harder, I suggest automating the SMSM marketing process.
Let’s face it: Marketing automation saves precious time you can spend
growing your business.
For example, you don’t have to manually export and import lead data. Instead, you can use a tool like
Zapier
to quickly build out an automated process.
Zapier connects with just about every marketing software you can think of, including MailChimp, Gmail, Facebook Ads, Slack, and many of the biggest CRMs on the market.
So if you get a few people submitting phone numbers in your Facebook lead ads, you can send them directly to your CRM, your messaging platform, and even various SMS marketing platforms. All at the same time!
Here’s a few of the texting apps they work with, or you can
search here.
Let’s dive straight in, shall we?
First, select Facebook Lead Ads from the workflow ideas list.
Next, select it as your trigger.
So whenever a lead fills out your lead capture form, it will trigger the following action that you want to set.
I’ll show you how to set that up in one second. But it could be anything from sending that lead form information to your CRM to connecting it to your SMS marketing software.
Now, let’s select this action once you’ve connected your Facebook account to Zapier’s workflow.
The action determines what happens with the data from your lead forms.
For example, you can instantly add a new lead to your SMS app of choice. Then you can even automate the first message that will go out to them after they’re added.
All of this automation saves you countless hours of manually transferring data and information.
Conclusion
Let’s be honest: SMS marketing can be kinda spammy.
It has evolved a lot over the past few years, though.
People are attached to their phones more than ever, and SMS marketing allows you to get direct access to your customers.
If you can get them to opt-in, they’re never going to miss an update or offer from your company ever again.
Especially if your SMS are
personalized for the recipient!
Find an SMS app
and start sending coupons, polling your customers, running sweepstakes, sending photos, and driving sales. The options are limitless.
Get creative with your text offers and
watch your ROI grow fast.

Hello! I hope its okay to ask! I'm currently making a rp group that I hope to open next week, but the more and more I work on it. The more and more I feel like its going to fail, not because I don't love the plot or the bios I'm writing up! Just because I think people won't take it as serious as me, or even hate it! Do you have any tips or advice that could help me out?
hey there sweetpea!! you’re fine, don’t worry. so, this is a problem i think most people go through including myself (&& that’s coming from an admin that’s had multiple long lasting rps on && off tumblr, including some that had been open for more than a year). the tips i can give you only work if you don’t give up after being open for a day && seeing no apps in the inbox, so keep in mind that these rely heavily on your own dedication to your rp. these are in no particular order.
REALIZE IT WILL BE TOUGH. for some admins, this can be their fatal flaw. they don’t realize that building a community takes time and, after the first few days with seemingly no response from the rpc, they give up. there may be a select few rpgs that have instant success and lots of attention from jump, but you never need to expect your experience to be the same as someone else’s. expect that you will have to go days and days without applications or questions, but don’t give up hope that as long as you stick with it, they will come. basically, as my mama says, “hope for the best, but always prepare for the worst.” remember that you are trying to build a long lasting home for writers to enjoy staying in, so that will take time, dedication, and effort from you as an admin. 
REACH OUT TO RPTS/RPHS FOR OPINIONS AND SHOUTOUTS OFTEN. when you ask a rpt/rph for an opinion, expect some criticism back. seriously consider making changes in areas they mention, but ultimately whether or not you do is up to you. do not stop asking for opinions / shoutouts or sending in promos to different rpts when you get a comfortable number of people in your group. just because it’s booming now, doesn’t mean your member count can’t drop significantly on a dime. you want to keep your rpg’s name in the rpc as frequently as you can so no one forgets it exists.
BE PROFESSIONAL AND POLITE. unfortunately, some people are going to come off as rude in your main’s inbox from time to time, but do not let them get under your skin. you will be well respected and liked as an admin if you remain as calm, professional, and polite as possible. this does not mean bend to their will, but always look for the most polite way to respond to them. keep in mind that a lot of the times, potential applicants will read other messages and determine what kind of an admin you are, and if you’re rude or unprofessional, they may be deterred from joining your group.
A PROMO BLOG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. the promo blog will need to be queued often, but it’s the most effective way to keep your rpg in the tags at all times, so rpers from all over the world can see your ad at any given time. adjust your queue settings to something you’re comfortable with, but i recommend no less than 30 a day. do not slack off of the promo queue ever.
EXPECT DRY PERIODS. every rp has them. expect a time or times that it will seem like nothing is going on. the dash is slower, you’re not getting apps or questions, and you may feel like the roleplay is dying. this is not true. members rely heavily on the admins of a group to keep it alive, so do not give up on your group if you think it’s slipping into a dry period, just remember that it will pick up again. these can happen several times a year: school semesters, holidays, vacation season etc etc. 
FOLLOW YOUR OWN RULES. i see way too many admins not following their own rules, and it’s mostly their own activity rule. keep in mind that you are the very first member in your rp, and the face of your rp. other members will expect you to set the bar for how to act on the dash. if you’re going inactive and not following the rules you set, then so will the others.
DO NOT GIVE UP ON IT. this is the last tip, but it’s ultimately the most important. it’s been mentioned several times, but i believe i should say it a few more. if you are truly passionate about this rpg and the bios and you really want it to last, then you can not allow yourself to become discouraged and give up. you have to be dedicated and active on the main, keep it updated and be around as much as possible, answer questions as soon as they come in, keep the promo queue full, and do not sweat the small stuff. if you don’t get 20+ apps on the first day you hit the tags, don’t make yourself believe you’re a failure. barely any rps that last longer than a week get instant attention. you have to believe in yourself as an admin and as the creator of the rp that you can make it work and you have to refuse to let it fail. don’t be afraid to introduce an idea that you love to the rpc, and as long as you work hard at keeping the place alive and active, applicants will come.
that is all of the advice that i can give you, but i will extend a few offers to you. i do opinions, shoutouts, && promos on this blog. if you need any of those things, don’t be afraid to come to me again && i’ll help you in any way that i am able! i truly wish you the best && hope to see your new rp killin’ it in the community soon!!

Big ol’ ooc
Sappy mush below cut
You guys maybe could, but probably can’t understand just how much people asking my stupid characters questions actually means to me. Or how like, just in general wanting to write with me/being supportive even if our muses haven’t interacted yet or just being here changed my goddamn life. I have been working on these marines on and off since 2012.  I made scum in 2009, and she was a loyalist at the time.  Just functioning as an avatar. Clearly things changed a lot for me since. 
Those of you that follow my personal blog have probably seen me be big and vague about a long stint of emotional abuse, from two particular people, and I’m sadly not here to clarify much on that, just that it more or less stunted my growth as a writer, and as an artist, as well as socially emotionally blahblahblah it fucked me up and it still fucks me up from time to time.  I gave up drawing for something like 5 years when I used to draw every day. I had only dabbled in creative writing beforehand and the rest of it was just telling myself stories in my head or instant-messaging roleplaying with people I could explicitly trust (and, obviously, some I really shouldn’t have.)
I wasn’t able to imagine a life where I could show the world my work and actually have anybody care, or like it. Not fanart, that always has an audience, but... my things.  Or want to hear more about them. Or actually want to smooch my boys instead of just treating them like some kind of fucking....extension of their personal property and some smutt toy. Or think that my once shameful avatar was compelling enough to let her have an arc and be more than just a moe blob.  
Like, this thing that I’m living right now is basically akin to wild fantasy. I don’t know how to describe how impossible this all feels. 
and people are willing to let me be slow and nervous and figure this shit out on my own time
what the fuck??
Basically, I owe ... a lot, of this recent progress in my mental health to you guys. When my tumblr first blew up I was scared. I panicked and cried a lot. I had nightmares that I would become immediately struck down because I drew something wrong, or that I was trying too hard to be funny.  I had actual nightmares about waking up and seeing my inbox full of people telling me to kill myself, and having no idea what I’d done. 
But that didn’t happen. People calmly poked me and waited, even if I started crying in complete terror just trying to hold a conversation. People let me settle in and find footing and (mostly) didn’t pressure me.  I drew more and more. I drew more than the last 4 years combined in June/July. People started...to ask...me stuff. On my personal blog. Like they actually wanted to talk to me and I just...
Was this... real? I don’t know. I wanted it to be because I liked it. I liked being talked to, or just feeling like my dumb opinion mattered. Even if its just the same anon because I can’t prove its not, haha.
All of it’s culminated in a person that I’m happier to wake up being. I am slowly getting more confident with my writing even if I still panic and edit 2 1/2 paragraphs for six hours sometimes  and finally moving ahead with characters that have been sitting in rough concept stages for years. Like... fuck guys. Even when I’m burnt out, I don’t want to stop, and I think that I can even keep going.  
It wracks my brain in a good way, trying to wonder what you all see in me because I still don’t see this good person or talent you talk about, but I’m getting better and better at not doubting that people mean it when they say it and... and that, for me, is huge.
So just... Thank you.

Here are my rules for submitting Free Read Requests via:
[ “Ask Me Anything” ]
Once you submit a Free Read Request you are signalling to me that you have read, understand, and agree to my Free Read Rules. 
Yes. I know. I am very very sneaky.
The Rules:
All Free Read requests must be made via my Inbox [ ”Ask Me Anything” ]. I do not offer any kind of Free Reads via Instant Messenger. Ever. Never, ever, ever. 
Any information, communication and/or consultations (including Free Reads) with me (Allison Boswell) and/or via my Tumblr Blog & the AltruisticApothecary.com website are for educational, spiritual and entertainment purposes only.
No psychic medium or tarot reading given by me (Allison Boswell) and/or via my Tumblr Blog & the AltruisticApothecary.com website is intended to, nor should it ever take the place of professional services including but not limited to: medical, legal, financial, business and/or psychological.
Only 1 QUESTION per Free Read Request / Ask is allowed. It doesn’t even really matter if you have multiple questions connected to the same theme or area of your life. I’m doing these Free Reads out of the goodness of my heart & because this work is a calling for me. You can read more about my raison d’etre for these Free Reads on [ this post ]. Since this is something I am doing *in addition to* paid client work, I must respect my own energy levels, *always*. And that means limiting the amount I’ll channel for each person submitting a Free Read Request. If you’ve asked multiple questions, then I’ll just leave it up to Spirit to decide what’s most important for you to know right now.
Only 1 Free Read request per person. I try to be fair and equal to everyone I offer these services to. If I even get the *slightest* vibe from Spirit that you are submitting more than once (even under “Anonymous”) then I will totally skip submissions. That’s right. Spirit will tattle on you. Sometimes I *can* be mistaken - but to preserve my energy and practice healthy spiritual self-care - when in doubt I will skip.
Submissions via “Anonymous” are totally fine. And this will *always* endeavour to be my policy - until someone abuses that privilege. Please don’t be the bad apple to abuse that privilege. Please, please, please.
Submissions via Tumblr accounts will be answered publicly, unless you mark your Free Read Request as *private*. If you require privacy in your Free Read Request (and I totally understand that need) you must indicate so by typing: *private* before your reading request. Not sure whether you care if your request is private or not? When in doubt, submit as “Anonymous”. Then it doesn’t matter if your Free Read remains private.
I do not answer follow-up questions. Period dot. No exceptions. I do not allow for follow-up questions with my paid client reads, and so obviously I won’t be allowing that for my Free Read Requests either. If you need additional insight, please [ check out my online shop ] for options to continue your reading experience with me via one of my paid read options. I even offer super quickie, but absolutely fabulous, [ Text (SMS) / Direct Message Reads ]. That’s right! This is the *best* way to get any follow-up questions answered. 
I will be answering all Free Read Requests in my own time. This is a marathon, not a sprint. So if you have submitted a question (or plan to) and it isn’t answered right away (even though I was *just* marked as Online), that is because I am busy and have things to do. I’m often still seeing paid clients while I offer these Free Reads.
100% accuracy is not guaranteed. I feel like this is a total “D’oh” moment. Obviously Psychic & Mediumship abilities are not hard, tangible, scientific rhetoric. I do the best I can with the gifts I possess. Heck - I don’t even know half of the time how I receive what I receive. I just go with whatever I get told, shown or feel. Usually I am bang on, but as with all Psychic Mediums, I have also been way off the mark as well. If what you receive resonates, then great, AWESOME EVEN, I-am-so-freaking-happy-for-you. If it doesn’t, then hey that’s okay too. It was a Free Read after all, right?
Added “Need-to-Knows”
My Policy about “Initial Readings” & “Significant Other’s Zodiac Sign Readings” is stated [ here ].
My Policy about “Reading about / for Others” is stated [ here ].
My Explanation for the Difference Between “Free Read Asks” & “Intuitive Development Asks” is [ here ] (long version) & [ here ] (short version).
That’s it!
Now if you actually read through all of that & made it here, then please know that Spirit & I absolutely adore you. You’re basically the awesomest of Spiritual Warrior Rock Stars. 
Yes. That’s totally a thing.
YOU (yes, you) make this work oh-so-worth-it. So...
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Mostly for taking the time to read through this post in its’ entirety. 
And BTW, I am so very excited (and honoured) to have the unique privilege to work with you & Spirit in the future :)
Tons of Spirit-Vibe Love;
Allison ♥

Our Rules:
This should be obvious, but no godmodding! To those unaware, godmodding is taking control of your RP partners’ characters during an RP.
Mun =/= Muse! In the event either twin does something unacceptable, that doesn’t mean I condone it. If you need clarification, hit me up on IM. Similarly, if one or both twins snap at your muse, that doesn’t mean I have a problem with you, that’s just them having their own problems.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc. will not be tolerated on this blog! Come in my inbox with any of that and you can expect an instant block.
If you’re MAP, Nazi, alt-right, white supremacist, anti-vax, transmed/truscum etc, turn around, get the fuck off my blog and don’t bother coming back, because you aren’t welcome here.
Please keep drama and politics out of my inbox! I don’t like to get involved in or see either of those things, so please respect this.
Please have a Rules and About page available on your blog if you wish to interact with me. If I’m unable to find these pages, and you’re unable to provide me with a link, chances are I’ll be less willing to interact with you, since I won’t know a thing about your muse or what your rules are beyond basic RP etiquette.
If you’re a personal blog, please refrain from reblogging threads or asks. I won’t RP with personal blogs, either.
That being said, though, if you have an RP sideblog, please let me know. Also, reblogging my art is allowed - encouraged, even.
On another note, though, please refrain from excessively liking or reblogging my posts. I appreciate that you enjoy my content, but not only does this clog up my activity feed, it also makes me anxious. I’ll only warn you once, and if you continue, you will be blocked.
Similarly, pestering me to follow or interact with you will result in an immediate block. That’s harassment and I won’t stand for it.
Flooding my IMs or messaging me as soon as I come online will also result in an immediate block. Again, not only is this spam, but it sets off my anxiety.
Actually, on the topic of anxiety, please keep in mind that I will prioritise my own well-being and mental health over anything else and will block anyone who makes me uncomfortable. If you have a problem with that, maybe we shouldn’t interact. I’m not going to suffer a panic attack just because you want a thread.
This blog operates on reblog karma. How that works is that if I reblog a meme from you, I’ll send you something from that meme - and if you reblog a meme from me, I ask that you to send me something.
On that note, do not use me as a meme source. I’m willing to let it slide once or twice, since everyone forgets, but if you do it deliberately (and, trust me, I’ll be able to tell after a while), you can expect to find yourself blocked.
Please try to be patient with me. I operate on GMT, so I won’t be as in sync with most of you. I’m still figuring out how the queue works, so please bear with me until then.
Anon hate will not be tolerated. If you abuse the anon feature for the purpose of sending hate, I will remove it for a certain length of time. It’s there for nervous/shy people, or RP sideblogs, not for you to be a royal prick.
If you need something tagged, please for the love of God let me know! The last thing I want is to make you guys uncomfortable, and I’m not a mind reader!
Please try to ensure that spelling, grammar and punctuation is accurate. I know I can’t ask this of everyone, but d0nt typ3 l1k3 th1$!! The one exception to this rule is if our characters are texting in the thread.
On that note, no one-liners! I’m not expecting a whole novel’s worth of a reply, but it kind of kills my motivation when I put in a lot of effort into a reply only to be met with one line of text that doesn’t give me a lot to work with.
If you’re not part of the thread, DON’T reblog it! It makes things confusing!
I reserve the right to refuse or drop a thread for whatever reason. However, if I need to drop a thread, I’ll be sure to let you know beforehand.
As of right now, I won’t do crossover threads. This may change in the future, but right now I’m still figuring out which fandoms I’d like to crossover with. Please respect this.
I am open to multishipping - so each relationship the twins have has its own verse next to their main story.
I don’t do instant shipping. Both twins are very wary of romance and relationships in general, as they fear being led on for a laugh. Just like normal people, it’s going to take some time for them to warm up to your muse.
On that note, if you see anything that looks like it’s instant shipping, chances are it’s been developing outside of Tumblr. So again, don’t just throw your muse into my inbox trying to spontaneously make out with either twin if they haven’t had some sort of development first.
Currently, I’m not open to poly-shipping. This may change in the future.
That said, for the love of God, do not ship the twins together in any situation! Incest is heavily frowned upon here, and if I see anything to do with it popping up on my blog, you only have one warning. Any incestuous shipping after that, and you can expect an immediate block.
The twins are each others’ best friends - like two peas in a pod. As such, they listen to each others’ opinions and look out for each other. If your muse is dating one twin, but doesn’t get along with the other, don’t expect that ship to survive.
In regards of NSFW content, sexual content won’t be present, but there will be themes like blood/gore and injuries. Anything overly graphic will be tagged accordingly and put under a read more.
On that note, both mun and muses are 18+. Mun’s D.O.B is 17/04/97. Even if NSFW content isn’t present, I expect all shipping partners (mun and muse alike) to be 18+ as well.
If you’re interested in my NSFW blog, hit me up over IMs. You need to be 18+, though - no exceptions.
Once you’ve read all these rules, please send “Double Pupper Trouble!” in my askbox. Thank you!

9 Lesser-Known Tools for Entrepreneurs to Master Remote Working
By Lucas Miller
Working remotely can be liberating. It’s also something a lot more entrepreneurs are doing.
Pete Rojwongsuriya, founder of Travelistly and Bucketlistly, recently told Forbes:
“What [people] do not know is that the global workforce is moving toward this direction, and the types of skills required to work remotely have expanded in recent years. I have a few friends who are considering making their work remote. In fact, my friend’s mother is trying to automate her business selling chemical compounds so that she can ride around Germany with her bike. It is truly inspiring to see people adapting their work so that they can pursue their life goals in a way that couldn’t have been possible before.”
Not being tied down to an office and traveling the world while working for clients or building your startup is exciting, but it also comes with many obstacles, including pressure to close deals, creative frustration in areas that aren’t your specialty, and distractions that can threaten your productivity.
An entrepreneur’s efforts can be destroyed for the day if caught going down some random rabbit hole on Reddit or YouTube, instead of finishing an article by a strict deadline, learning a new skill for your next campaign, or scheduling an important meeting.
Don’t give up, though. You don’t have to let distractions, confusion and isolation stand in the way of an outstanding campaign – or your dream to live and work anywhere you want.
Become more focused, better brainstorm, nab leads and much more with these nine tools:
1. Stop distractions with Cold Turkey
The name will tip you off to its purpose: Cold Turkey is meant to wean you from constantly checking your social media feeds.
Here’s how the tool’s makers describe it:
“Cold Turkey breaks the cycle between the cue (a craving for a distraction) and the reward (a distraction). The break in the distraction cycle is important. This is why Cold Turkey is so difficult to get around.”
Users can set blocks of time for concentration, along with a list of sites that will be temporarily blocked (such as Facebook). If you try to access any of those sites before your time is up, you’ll receive an inspirational reminder to get back to work:
Pro users can also block everything except for a few sites they need for their current projects, along with blocking applications (including email and games) and scheduling times for concentration – and breaks, of course.
Cost: Free for the basic application (which includes website blocks and a timer); $25 for the pro version.
2. Brainstorm like a boss with Mur.al
A good brainstorming session can help you and your team come up with innovative ideas and share thoughts that inspire game-changing action. For entrepreneurs, brainstorming is an essential part of crafting compelling marketing campaigns.
Mur.al enables you to brainstorm from wherever you’re working in real time. Using virtual sticky notes, users can type or draw out their ideas and place them on the board. View the notes by zooming in or out and seeing what others have to say.
You can also insert images, links and videos. The tool is compatible with Vimeo, SlideShare, YouTube, Google Drive and Evernote.
Cost: $16 per user each month (or $12 per user each month, if you pay annually).
3. Gather more leads with SalesRipe
You’re used to the hustle, but even the most skilled entrepreneur can benefit from more marketing leads.
Using business and consumer data, SalesRipe offers users unlimited lead views and features such as filtering (by property type, state, city, marital status and more), customer lists (to avoid duplication), a lead manager and more.
One of the coolest features of SalesRipe is a map of your sales leads to enable you to plan the most effective driving routes to meet new and potential customers – assuming your remote marketing lifestyle calls for this kind of client interaction.
Cost: SalesRipe is $79.99 per month for unlimited lead views and 1,000 downloads. The company also offers deals for an annual plan and plans for teams.
4. Stop crunching the numbers with Every Time Zone
If you’re trying to reach consumers and marketing partners across time zones, it can quickly become a headache to keep the hours straight while you’re also grabbing leads, crafting content and scheduling social media posts.
Every Time Zone is here to help. The web-based tool grabs your computer’s time zone, and then stacks it up against other time zones around the world.
Bookmark it and stop doing the math in your head.
Cost: Free.
5. Get better sleep with F.lux
Late nights and fluctuating schedules are part of the entrepreneurial lifestyle, especially if you’re traveling or working remotely. With all of this in mind, however, what do you do when your computer disrupts your ability to function?
Blue light from your computer, tablet and smartphone can suppress melatonin and mess with your circadian clock, which means more sleeplessness (and less creative awesomeness) for you.
F.lux can help you by adjusting your computer screen to look like the room you’re working in.
Just tell the tool what lights you have, and it’ll make your computer look more like the sunlight in the daytime – and your lights at night.
Cost: Free.
6. Communicate better with Brosix
Sure, you still use email, but if you’re tired of endless email threads with conversations that are better suited for instant messaging, Brosix can help.
Brosix is a secure and private instant messaging tool with features such as voice chat, screen sharing, whiteboard and more. As such, instead of searching through your inbox, you can send a text message to a co-worker, quickly send an attachment or set up a chat room to discuss the next marketing push.
The tool also has a spellcheck feature, which is helpful for sending messages devoid of autocorrect errors and typos.
Cost: It’s only $.99 per user each month for the basic plan, and $2.10 for the pro version (which includes screen sharing, audio and visual calls, a whiteboard and co-browsing).
7. Dominate Twitter with Narrow.io
When focused, social media can open a whole new world of marketing opportunities to entrepreneurs. However, using online platforms properly can be a daunting task.
Narrow.io helps you build a targeted Twitter following, so you know your messages are getting in front of the right people. It’ll help you select your target users with hashtags, keywords and location, and can help you better understand who is following you (and who you want following you).
You can also track your keyword performance to find out what’s working – and what’s not.
Do you manage more than one Twitter account? No worries – you can work with several different accounts under one login.
Cost: Narrow.io is $19 a month for one account, $49 per month for three accounts and $99 per month for 10 accounts.
8. Craft better marketing messages with MakeMyPersona
One of the cardinal rules of effective marketing campaigns is to know the audience to whom you are selling. MakeMyPersona can help you focus on your target customer.
The tool asks you a series of questions and asks you to name your buyer persona (such as “Marketing Bob” or “CEO Laura”). It’ll then spit out a Word document with your persona’s details, making it much easier to visualize your customer and create effective goals.
Cost: Free.
9. Make your content sing with ClearVoice
Content marketing is hot, especially for entrepreneurs launching a new product, service or startup. Because of this, good stories are always needed to entice journalists and bloggers to bite on a marketing message or pitch.
Use ClearVoice to search for trending stories, analyze your content’s performance, create blog post outlines and manage your content – all in one place, mind you.
You can publish directly to WordPress, HubSpot and other major CMS programs too.
ClearVoice can even pair you with freelance writers and content creators, who can then fulfill assignments you set up.
Cost: Both pro and enterprise solutions are available on a direct consult basis. You can request a demo here to learn more about pricing.
Wrapping things up
These tools can make you a more effective marketer, no matter if you’re working from a Starbucks alongside other entrepreneurs, your home office, or on a flight to your next destination.
Embrace the remote lifestyle, but leave the stress and confusion behind.
Last but not least, in your opinion, what tools did I miss that are helping you better avoid distractions, power your marketing and boost your bottom line?

Google Inbox Shutting Down: How This Affects Gmail
By March 2019, Google Inbox, one of Google’s email platforms, will be shut down, with most of its features to be integrated into Gmail. Launched to the public in 2015, Inbox was the platform in which some of Google’s experimental email features were explored, with some of them receiving praise for being innovative and reliable.
With some Inbox features about to arrive in the new Gmail, it is worth taking a look at some of its most popular features and see how it will affect Gmail as a whole. Here are some key features that are bound to arrive soon or have already arrived on our Gmail accounts.
Snooze Emails
One of Google Inbox’s most well-known features is the ability to snooze emails. This allows users to be able to temporarily move certain emails out of their inbox and have the option to check on them at a later time. To make sure that you will not completely forget to read these snoozed emails, users can set up reminders for each email, which helps make it more efficient.
With Gmail most likely going to receive this feature, this comes in very handy, as it ensures that you will not get swamped with the number of emails that you need to view, and only view a specific set of emails for the time being. With our team communicating mainly through our Gmail accounts, this will surely be a welcome addition to our email, as we can have a more organized and coordinated email list that makes sure we won’t miss anything important.
Google Calendar Integration
Google Calendar is one of the most effective Google tools around, allowing you to schedule and remember important dates and meetings, along with being able to share it with your colleagues. For Google Inbox, users have the option of adding a Google calendar button, which allows them to create reminders at an instant, without the need to open the calendar on another tab.
This handy feature makes doing email and scheduling tasks much easier and smoother, making work much more effective. This feature may soon become a part of Gmail, which is something that many users will enjoy. This helps save time and make sure that your colleagues and team would be able to instantly view any important appointments and reminders.
Smart Reply
One of the more recent new features of Gmail was the addition of Smart Reply. This feature enables users to be able to instantly reply using answers created automatically. This feature helps save time, as you would be able to reply much quicker, making communication much easier.
While this may be a relatively new feature on Gmail, this was first seen on Google Inbox, where it was used numerous times. In fact, a good percentage of total replies in Google Inbox were generated by Smart Replies. While this feature may still need updates and refinement to craft longer and more elaborate replies, having this option makes communication much more efficient, and with Google improving their AI technology, expect Smart Replies to become even smarter.
Mail Bundling
Perhaps the most important feature that is yet to be fully integrated into Gmail, Mail Bundles are a standard Google Inbox feature. This feature allows users to group incoming emails based on urgency, which allows you to view emails in a more organized manner and making sure that you would be able to reply to the most important message first. While Gmail has its own way of bundling emails, it is not as refined as the one on Google Inbox.
Having a more refined bundling system on Gmail makes going through emails more manageable and keeps each email to a specific category. For example, if I want to separate emails related to work, I can create individual folders for each part of my team, and even our clients. Having a more organized email inbox would allow us to work as a team more effectively, and make sure every need would be addressed without fail.
Key Takeaway
Google Inbox was mostly seen as the experimental alternative to Gmail, with numerous features being tested on a platform in the three years that it has been open to the public. While this may mean we have to say farewell to yet another Google service, seeing its features become a part of Gmail would help create a more effective email interface for users around the world. While Google Inbox remains active, it is best to appreciate what it has done to make the email experience much better.
If you have questions about Google Inbox, Gmail, or SEO in general, leave a comment below and let’s talk.

By now, you’ve probably heard the story.
Last week, an actress and photographer, Rosey Blair, asked to switch seats with a woman on a plane from New York to Dallas so that she could sit next to her boyfriend. Blair proceeded to live-tweet as she observed the woman and her new seatmate chat and eventually start flirting, discussing their mutual love of working out and subtly touching elbows, all details captured and posted by Blair. Her thread went mega-viral, racking up 900,000 likes, getting picked up by national news outlets and earning Blair thousands of new followers.
Many initially thought the story was adorable, even if others found it creepy and intrusive. Then the incident took an even darker turn.
An online hunt began to find the identities of the couple, now identified by the hashtag #PlaneBae. The man, a former professional soccer player named Euan Holden, embraced the media circus, but the woman, uncomfortable with the newfound spotlight, hesitated. That didn’t stop the online mob from tracking her down. She began receiving crass, sexually explicit messages in the comments of her personal Instagram profile.
She deactivated her social media accounts and declined an invitation to go on the Today show. Blair and Holden appeared without her. No one asked her if she had any reservations or concerns about being made part of a viral story. All she did was board a plane and chat with her seatmate. Now she is a public figure, a hashtag, and a target. Millions of strangers on the internet want to know about her personal life.
The erosion of the division between public and private has been coming for a while now. Maybe it started with reality television and the dramatic storylines broadcast to millions about people just like you falling in love. (Though those people willingly signed up to become public figures.) Maybe it was already in the works before then: People have always turned other people’s lives into public spectacle regardless of their will.
When I was 22, I wrote my first paid article for a publication on the internet. My essay, written under my own name, was about what it was like to date with genital herpes. I expected maybe a few thousand people to read it on the Women’s Health website; it wasn’t even going in the physical magazine. At the time, I was an intern at a media company, less than a year out of college, and my only brush with fame was as a 13-year-old writer of moderately popular Harry Potter fanfiction.
The herpes article went viral. Not just “few thousand retweets” viral — I mean invitations to go on daytime television viral. Two days after my essay went up on Women’s Health, I was featured in a trending article on the Washington Post website. It was aggregated from there on Yahoo, Jezebel, and eventually even The Daily Mail, where an enterprising staffer tracked down my private Facebook profile and raided it for photographs to use in their article.
There I was, smiling brightly in a picture my mother had taken as my father blew out his birthday candles. Of course, they cropped my father out, leaving me grinning and alone as hundreds of Daily Mail readers wrote comments underneath attacking my character. This slut, this shameful whore. She should kill herself for having an STI.
The next year I would find myself at the center of a new controversy when Genius, a well-funded startup that mostly writes annotations on song lyrics, launched a new tool allowing their users to annotate any website, anywhere. I wrote a blog post detailing why I thought the product was unethical, as it ignored the consent of the website creator and let strangers essentially scrawl graffiti on our intellectual property. I was also concerned it would be yet another tool in the hands of abusers, stalkers, and harassment mobs to come after me on my personal blog; since going viral, I had spent a year receiving horrifying sexual emails from strangers.
Sam Biddle, writing for Gawker, found my case unconvincing. His argument boiled down to my status as a public figure. “It’s brave and noble of Dawson to publicly try to combat the stigma of STD infection,” he wrote. “But when she writes ‘we need more voices to challenge the single narrative of herpes,’ she’s already acknowledging her place in public—it’s right there in the ‘we.’ If you want to advocate for a cause in front of an audience (and judging by the fact that her website has a ‘Press’ section, I’m assuming she does), you have to take what comes with it. Dawson says she has a blog ‘to have total control of how I write and who interacts with me.’ If only this were possible! Unfortunately, this is a fantasy, and will always be so.”
Chelsea Hassler, writing for Slate, argued the contrary position: That as a blogger with a few articles published, I was not someone who rose to the level of a “public figure.” I was an individual, an amateur. She wrote, “There’s a substantive difference between critiquing the work of a professional journalist or blogger and critiquing the writing of an individual who is using her blog as an outlet to communicate with other likeminded people.”
People like me pose a challenge to traditional understandings of the public-private divide. I write about my personal life, and sometimes I get paid to do so. I have fewer than 20,000 followers on Twitter. I’ve had a handful of short stories published in anthologies by indie houses and my blog has steady traffic, but I don’t have a Wikipedia page. Would you consider me a public figure? At what point did I become one? Would it change your mind if I told you I’ve never wanted to be one?
I don’t think there is any such thing as a “private person” anymore. The vast majority of us constantly groom our internet presence, choosing the right filter on Instagram for our brunch and taking polls of our friends about our next Facebook profile picture.
We don’t think about this as a public act when we have only 400 connections on LinkedIn or 3,000 followers on Tumblr. No one imagines the Daily Mail write-up or the Jezebel headline. We actively create our public selves, every day, one social media post at a time. Little kids dream of becoming famous YouTubers the same way I wanted to be a published author when I was 12.
But there are also those of us who don’t choose this. We keep our accounts locked, our Instagram profile set to “friends only.” Maybe we learned a lesson when a post took off and left the safe haven of our community, picked apart in a horrifying display of context collapse by strangers who we didn’t intend to speak to. Maybe we are hiding from something: a stalker, an abusive ex, our family members who don’t know our true queer identity. To some of us, privacy is vital.
A woman boarded a plane in New York and stepped off that plane in Dallas. She chatted with a stranger, showed him some family photos, brushed his elbow with her own. At no point did she agree to participate in the story Rosey Blair was telling. After the fact, when the hunt began and the woman took no part in encouraging it the way Holden did, Blair tweeted a video in which she drawled, “We don’t have the gal’s permish yet, not yet y’all, but I’m sure you guys are sneaky, you guys might…” And her followers did not disappoint.
When people called Blair out for this blatant invasion of privacy, she blocked them. Because she, apparently, wanted to control her own boundaries. Later she tweeted about wanting a job at BuzzFeed.
I don’t know what the woman on the plane is thinking or feeling. I don’t know if she’s afraid or angry or mildly amused but inconvenienced. But I know how it feels to see strangers scrawling obscenities on social media accounts and email inboxes you once considered safe, commenting alongside your friends and family members. I know the sour humiliation of knowing everyone in your life can see that strangers have written about you — your parents, your co-workers, your exes.
Even when the attention is positive, it is overwhelming and frightening. Your mind reels at the possibility of what they could find: your address, if your voting records are logged online; your cellphone number, if you accidentally included it on a form somewhere; your unflattering selfies at the beginning of your Facebook photo archive. There are hundreds of Facebook friend requests, press requests from journalists in your Instagram inbox, even people contacting your employer. This story you didn’t choose becomes the main story of your life.
There is no opting-in, no consent form, no opportunity to take it all back. It feels like you are drowning as everyone on the beach applauds your swimming prowess. What do you have to complain about? Why wouldn’t you want publicity?
It’s clear that to Blair, the violation of this woman’s privacy is less important than Blair’s growing platform and ambition. It is not a romantic comedy for the digital age. It is an act of dehumanization.
A friend of mine asked if I’d thought through the contradiction of criticizing Blair publicly like this, when she’s another not-quite public figure too. But Blair is not just posting about her own life; she has taken non-consenting parties along for the ride. While Blair uploads gorgeous Instagram photos to celebrate her body on her birthday (I say this genuinely: You go, girl), the woman on the plane has deleted her own Instagram account after receiving violent abuse from the army Blair created. As the content creator of this media circus, Blair is responsible for the behavior of its fans. When faced with the opportunity to discourage their privacy violations, she has done the opposite: “I’m sure you guys are sneaky.”
You become a public figure the instant that someone else decides you are worthy of interest, even if you are minding your damn business. Maybe you will tweet a joke. Maybe you will squint in a friend’s photograph. Maybe you will yodel in a Walmart. Or maybe you will board a plane.
