PHEW. Okay. Same GAD + SAD anon back one last time (at least, one last time introducing myself like that, I am too lazy to keep that up forever. I need a more concise way to identify myself.)

Just as I thought, I fell for cringefail darling. She’s just…so me. I want to put her in my pocket and protect her from Chrollo.

I could write a whole essay about Idée Fixe if I had the time, but I won’t let the cringefail in me win like that today.

For now, I’ll just talk about how much I loved how you wrote the darling this time. Your descriptions of anxiety were spot-on—it really put everything I feel during moments of intense anxiety into words. And your way of addressing darling’s aversion to physical intimacy and the irrational anxiety despite knowing (or, well, thinking) she’s safe with him was absolutely perfect. I was able to really see myself in a darling for the first time—sincerely, thank you for writing cringefail darlimg with an amazingly accurate depiction of anxiety without eliminating the fact that she is still a capable human being…despite being the embodiment of cringefail.

And Chrollo…all the signs were there, and obviously I knew how things were going to turn out, but I still found myself wanting to believe that he had nothing but pure intentions. He’s just so…frustratingly genuine, even in his deception. The way you write him evokes this frustration from me every time without fail, in a good way! And then he just turns around and drugs dear cringefail darling to keep her anxiety in-check during what is likely one of the most anxiety-inducing moments of her life (and also probably to keep her from being able to function at 100%, but let me pretend he has nothing but good intentions). He’s such a genius—you’re such a genius—and I hate him so much for it.

I’ll stop myself here to save us both the time it would take to read/write any more of this, but these are only a fraction of my thoughts on the fic. Just know that all the time you put into writing Idée Fixe was well worth it, and just…thank you again for writing a reader I can see myself in so well 💖 Maybe I’m just cringefail anon at this point. Who knows.

we are forming the protect cringefail darling coalition™, one member at a time.

portraying anxiety in this fic felt different compared to other yandere stories, so i was hoping it'd come across decently. in my experience, even if you aren't feeling anxious, you're just Hyper Aware of everything. the slightest change in tone, body language, etc. you're just perpetually going 👁👁. i thought this would be a neat similarity to chrollo, who is also rather perceptive. he can finally get a taste of his own medicine. although, cringefail darling doesn't have malicious intent.

chrollo and deception... name a more iconic duo... he spices it up by sometimes being genuine, but even that is calculated with some sort of end goal in mind. revealing elements of his tragic past is an example of this . the man knew it'd tug majorly on cringefail darling's heartstrings. he kept out the more macabre details, yet included enough of the truth to really earn her sympathy.

him using the beta blockers. whew. he figured it'd be killing two birds with one stone. while he likes messing with cringefail darling some, he doesn't derive any satisfaction from her being in a major anxiety episode. how nice of him. so he gets to avoid that (at least for now) and have her in a better state to receive all the unfortunate information he's been tactfully omitting for months now. it's a win win.

thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!!! aaaaa there really is nothing i value more 💖 i feel the time i put into the fic was worth it too! it's got to be one of my favorite stories i've written so far. 😌

and if that's the moniker you want to go with, i'll start using that 👀👀

Hey hey heeeey

And here I am again with an au that I will just drop here, yeAsss

To make long story short this is a 1800's au, where the ✨gang™✨ of Black Circle is ended up in Russian Empire in some town named N (Pushkin and Gogol, we are with you, dudes), where they had lived their lifes like normal people

Who are just hunt fairies, yeah

Even have a fanfic in this setting, if you know Russian you're welcome!

And of course there are some headcanons!!!

Ogron

His name now is Dunaev Oleg Nikodimovich

He is a professional musician, often plays piano

Someone's saying (mostly himself) that he can play the hardest music piece even with closed eyes!

But no one really cares about it, and that makes him angry

Spoke only French infront public until this little jerk Napoleon and his war ruined it to him

Doesn't smoke because his lungs rejects smoke

But compensates it with a loooot of alcohol, can even determine the taste of different types of vodka

Anagan

His initials from Mamedov Anar Gaidarovich are form word wizard in Russian (МАГ)

An artist with a really huge experience in drawing everything

Sometimes this everything is not clothed and even doing something with their naked bodies, o-la-la!

Always searching for the ways to make money

Can spend the whole day in chair doing nothing

Will never put a finger on something until there's no benefits for him like money and money and sex and mone-

Tells everyone that he is a child of Russian soldier and Turkish woman

Smokes like a train

Gantlos

His name is List Grigory Anatolievich

Have bought some of his awards on his soldier's uniform

Working with budgets of this town

He was calculating numbers so much that he remember all of these sums and differences

(Really wanted him to help me with my math exam🥲)

Never dancing on balls, a lot of girls and women were rejected by him

Can't sleep for weeks and even months, some sort of mental disorder, and because of that sometimes just laying in armchair with closed eyes for several hours to give his brain a little rest

Duman

He is a poet whose name is Dymkov Dmitriy Alekseevich

Always talking abour others poets and authors and had never published his works

In their home he's called Dimitrushka

Sometimes transforms into woman Tatiana to talk with others on balls

No, he never tried to jerk off as female, no, he is not-

Really loves graphomans like Tolstoy and Gogol, and eve did know Pushkin and was a good friend to him until his death

Splits his mohawk to looks normal to public

Knows everyone in N town, but not everyone's know him

Maid

Name is Diakova Alina Feodorovna, on French maner would be Eileen

Her birthmark on face is disturbs her sometimes but everyone's thinks it's unique and charming

Never had a thought about how everything around her turns into dust but she is still looks like some twenty years old girly

Firstly was scared of Gantlos 'cause she was making a lot of mistakes in front of him, and now is still scared, but not so much

She's Kuban Cossack and made her way to N town to make some money

(or she was running from her past...?)

Phew, that was really a huge post, huh😅🙃

I'm sorry if I made some grammatical mistakes in this one

#fanart #my art #winx club #wizards of the black circle #ogron #anagan #gantlos #duman #winx club oc #Russian Empire au #really wanted to post this one here #hope you liked it

You went to a Harry Styles concert???

YES, I DID, AND IT WAS THE MOST GLORIOUS NIGHT EVER!

(not my pic but I'm in it - somewhere left to the yellow polka dots)

50K (!!!) people were there

and we all sang and danced for 2hrs straight (not that anyone was straight at that concert, I've never seen so many pride flags in one place, and that alone made me unbelievably happy 🥹).

Today, I have basically no voice (no calls scheduled, phew), I keep scrolling through millions of pics and videos, and I'm just so (SO) grateful that I got to have this experience. 🥹

Harry was in such a good mood, and I like to believe that he felt all the love being yelled/screamed/sung back at him. 🥰

We had a coming out (YOU GO, LISA 🏳️‍🌈), a baby gender reveal ("IT'S A GIRL!"), he counted to 20 in German (it's the little things, y'know xD), and nearing the end of the concert, he grabbed a "MY BODY MY CHOICE" sign from someone, held it up, and then placed it against the drum kit, visible to everyone for the rest of the concert. 🙌

(not my pic, but that's him with the sign)

I'll admit that I wasn't a huge Harry fan before. I liked his music well enough, thought he's quite cool, adored his queer-positivity etc (and imo his sense of fashion is also something everyone should aspire to have 💯👌), but that was the extent of me being a fan of his. I didn't even plan to go to the concert initially (it was sold out so fast months ago, there wasn't much time to think about it anyway).

But then I kept seeing all the pics and vids from the earlier [European] HSLOT concerts, and I was like "I WANT THAT 🥺". Then, last Sunday (!) evening, I was lucky enough to snag a ticket someone'd returned, and so I went.

BEST. DECISION. EVER!!! It was absolutely incredible, the audience was ON FIRE, and we all kept singing at the top of our lungs throughout the concert (I'm so glad that I listened to nothing but a playlist of the HSLOT set list for the past week, I was able to keep up with all the singing and knew my lyrics 🤓).

Apparently, last night's venue's one of the largest he'll play during his tour (only Wembley's bigger, and I think the stadium in Dublin is around the same size as the one last night), and a bunch of his fans had organized a "rainbow lights project". They handed out tiny stickers and crêpe paper in rainbow colors ahead of the concert, for people to cover their flashlights, and during "Love of my Life", we held up our colored "flashlights" and projected a rainbow throughout the stadium. GOOSEBUMPS! 🥺😭

(pic via OWildeLarry on Twitter) - the pic is a bit too bright (thanks, modern phone cameras xD), irl the rainbow colors were more visible. Harry noticed and thanked us mid-song. 😭

Gosh, he's so precious, I adore him. 🥺🥺🥺

Anyway, I'm definitely a HARRY FAN™ now, and the next time he's coming to Northern Germany, I'LL BE THERE! 💃

(Hopefully, Covid will be more manageable then, I was pretty much the only person wearing a mask throughout the concert - inconvenient and annoying, but I really REALLY don't want to catch Covid - and dancing/singing without a damp FFP2 mask covering half of my face would the THE DREAM 🤪)

#nonnie asks #🎶 we danced all night to the best songs ever 🎶

6, 8, and 10 for the ask game ❤️

Funny enough, these were three of my favorite questions in the prompt :^) good taste anon

What is your favourite part about being aromantic?

The best and worst things about being aro kind of go hand-in-hand in my experience. You're unique! But no one understands you. You defy expectations! But you never fit in with other people. You can be all alone! You're all alone. Etc. etc.

But yes, the uniqueness of it is what makes me feel comforted, especially when I put my feelings out there and other people actually understand them. Which is mostly just other aros, but still, other aromantic people are awesome. We learn so much from each other. I genuinely do feel closer to people when they tell me that they're aro and/or ace or even that they've questioned (or are questioning) that in themselves because it's like, phew. Someone who has a bit of experience in my shoes, even if we still ultimately come about it differently.

But as a creative writer, being aromantic fucking rocks. Fuck amatonormativity. Soooo much literature is amatonormativity. Especially poetry, and I know that intimately well as a goddamn poetess! I've gone on this rant before but being an aromantic poet is kind of inherently rebellious to me. I love writing about my aromanticism. Often I come to it since it's been a topic of confliction and confusion in me more than pride, but the pride comes in looking what I've done. And the creative product of an aromantic person reflecting on their experiences is always going to be subversive and interesting to me.

Do you associate anything with being ‘aromantic culture’?

I guess this kind of relates to the last question, in that, yeah, I think my poetry is pretty Aromantic Culture™ if that is a thing. Well I mean, it probably is a thing, but I'm not the moooost involved in aro or ace-spec circles online? I used to be more active in them, although never too immersed because back when I would go to blogs and pages and all that to feel affirmed, I didn't wanna be chased by the exclusionists since that was the height of Tumblr ace discourse.

And nowadays I'm just not as online as I used to be. Sometimes I see posts from other aros coming on my dash that reference an inter-community discourse that I'm just not aware of and not necessarily interested in forming a stance on? I could name examples but I kinda don't want to since I don't wanna offend anyone or invite those discussions I'm admittedly ignorant of to begin with.

I guess certain spaces on the internet are just aromantic culture to me. I don't overly personalize the things I like to be aro (unless I make them of course). Perhaps certain works of art that other people make, particularly other women when they're defying heteronormativity. For me my identity as a woman is inseparable from my aromantic experience but I also feel like... well, a shit ton of the aro people *I know* (I don't know the hard numbers on this, if there are even surveys) are nonbinary, so. My aro culture doesn't speak for everyone. Idk. This is a fascinating question and I feel like I could get lost in a million tangents about just what it means to be this or that thing. I guess aro culture to me bleeds everywhere but never shows itself solidly. We're all aro in an amatonormative culture, aren't we?

How long have you known you are aro?

Six years, as a matter of fact. Around the time I started my senior year of high school and I was overall in a very bad place, feeling how transitory my current life was but not being able to see anything in the future. It also felt like a lot had been behind me since, well, when you're 17, you're not grown up for sure but you really don't feel like a kid anymore either. I reflected on a lot of my "romantic" experiences and how I came out of them, and some things just didn't add up anymore like I thought they once did.

Sometimes I still have internal doubts because I'm like "am I really aro if—" (you know how it is) but I've always kind of known since I first accepted it that there's really nothing else I *could* be, in this lifetime anyway. But yeah, even as I have known for a relatively long time now (I just realized that's most of the time I've had this blog lol) I think my feelings about my aro identity have moved around a lot. Life experience certainly is something that happens and happens even more to you when you age beyond high school, and I am not perceived or treated in anything like I was back then.

I know I already answered that question with the first paragraph, but I just had to elaborate, because of course I would. :^)

5 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About pengobatan vitalitas medan

A fast Preamble:™

I was spinning this post close to in my head for what amounted to many brain-frozen times right before I could "place-pen-to-paper"... or in my situation, right before I could "set-clumsy-sausage-sized-finger-to-keyboard-that-requirements-a-significant-clean"...

... oh oh, as usual I digress... what I indicate is, I actually was not positive how to put in writing this without having insulting anybody on the "more mature-adult" community - yeah yeah, Okay, people today the same as myself - woteva... !!

In any case, I took the bull through the horns, stayed true to myself and easily stuck to the truth of my "toughness education" problem, and although it's directed for the erm, as an example, "maturer era", this straightforward previous adage (my major information listed here) applies, on the younger, the center-aged plus the elderly...

"Utilize it OR Eliminate IT"

Cutting Into the Chase:

Dr. Walter Bortz, MD, suggests this:

"Practically almost everything we are taught about getting older is Completely wrong... We now are aware that a really suit overall body of 70 could be the same as a reasonably match system of 30."

I absolutely concur and even more say:

"Energy coaching is certainly not restricted solely to your area in the youthful... a lot of our much more senior Guys and women are reaping the many benefits of hitting the weights and retaining their strength and vitality, perfectly into their aged age..!"

I Certainly do practise what I preach... to get a minimal 3 times weekly, in some cases five or six, I work-out for thirty to 40 minutes or so, working with absolutely nothing but a cheap exercise mat and an old set of cost-free-weights - a little set of simple dumb-bells... and at almost 55 several years of age, I am as strong and as energetic as a lot of individuals I understand that are 50 % my age.

Hey, I'm not discussing the fanatical muscle mass-headed, "that-fellas-acquired-even bigger-biceps-than-my-thighs" or "you will find-no-breasts-remaining-on-that-chick", "thirty-hrs-just about every-working day-in-the-fitness center", "check-out-my-abs", iron-pumping physique-setting up (phew)... no, I'm referring to essential power instruction that keeps you toned and restricted and in physically good form well into your previous age.

The Main Dilemma...

Expanding more mature IS Certainly Inescapable, que sera, these is daily life and hohum... and character dictates that we have to decelerate somewhat and mellow out... for Many of us though, escalating more mature is far even worse and is focused on the things they (WRONGLY) BELIEVE is inevitable i.e. entire loss of strength and vitality proved by The truth that they can't walk much or have anything at all heavier than a small bag of groceries...

... given that they're Purported to get weak and frail...

... mainly because That is what Culture (especially the youthful) EXPECTS of them...

What a pile of hog-wash... nothing at all may be even further from the truth... Until you experience a seriously debilitating ailment or disorder - through which case you Unquestionably need to seek out clinical tips prior to commencing any type of training software, then there is Certainly absolutely nothing to prevent any of you "seniors" from staying as sturdy and as energetic as you are able to possibly be.

Loss of power and vitality as you age is because of loss of muscle mass mass and muscle mass tone, bone strength and suppleness... and only because of 1 rationale... LAZYNESS... very simple..!

You only really need to think and keep in mind that when young, as a normal healthy person, all of us stroll, operate, soar, play Activity, climb, lift and shift things - at operate and at Enjoy... we're Lively, we are sturdy, energetic and chock-packed with vitality... it is the "vitality-circle" of existence, the more you need to do, the stronger and much more energetic you come to be, the more you do...

"Utilize it... "

... then time, everyday living and peer or social expectancy acquire their toll... you will find fewer Bodily exertion, less strolling, much less lifting and carrying, (Substantially) additional sitting down on our butt for (Substantially) lengthier periods of time... This can be the "lazy-circle" of lifetime, the greater you don't do, the weaker and fewer energetic you come to be, the more you don't do...

"... OR Reduce IT..!"

Not surprisingly that currently being explained, I might similar to to indicate at this point, in defense of us "more mature-adults", that becoming lazy is not the sole domain from the aged... sadly, in the trendy period of satellite Tv set, the WWW, the likes of Participate in Station or X-Box and easy junk foods, the "lazy-bug" is likewise taking it's toll over the youthful...

... so beware youngster, you are gonna get outdated way ahead of your time and efforts if you keep up that "junk" Way of living..!

Many of the Positives...

It has been agreed for quite some time, and verified by lots of specialists during that time, that just a couple typical short periods - as little as two times each week, of sunshine toughness-coaching routines coupled with a little bit of Mild "yoga" and/or "cardio" is still effective and Tremendous-helpful while you become old... you may become a geriatric Super-Person, or Tremendous-Female - effectively at least you would Really feel like 1 anyway..!

I'm referring to the type of physical exercise that is correctly powerful for men and ladies of any age, that when performed often and of course effectively, strengthens bones as well as muscle... which subsequently maintains energy, Strength, overall vitality, mobility and equilibrium, and The most crucial point while you become old - your 'independence'..!

It gets all the more positive still... energy instruction can (and infrequently does) extremely proficiently reduce the aches, pains and unpleasant disorders of many different ailments:

- Again suffering (been there, done that..!) - strengthens again and abdominal muscles for The great of the backbone... I do know this by means of 1st-hand encounter.

- Osteoporosis - maintains and/or boosts bone density for enhanced posture and balance.

- Arthritis - cuts down stiffness and pain leading to amplified flexibility.

- Diabetic issues - enhances blood oxygenation for improved glycemic Regulate.

- Surplus pounds - extra fat is burned and changed with muscle mass as your metabolism improves.

- Depression - (been there, completed that too..!) - the act of "performing" after which you can looking at the effects in a fairly small time-interval, boosts self-esteem and increases the state of mind.

How - The fundamentals...

My single, primary piece of recommendation in your case in this article, Is that this: 1 Tiny STEP AT A TIME... If you have not applied weights or weight devices right before, or it's been a very long time because you have, get started incredibly gradually and really gentle and afterwards slowly build up as the weeks go by... just trust me when I show you that in this case, endurance seriously is usually a advantage... when you go full tilt at this too quickly, with no mastering the movements and/or the breathing tactics, man you will harm - all over..!

I am aware - been there, completed that too..!

Oh and by the way, "cost-free-weights" are definitely the smartest thing to utilize, rather then the "multi-health club" equipment type of gadgets that you're going to usually discover at most gyms today - in the event you go to a health club just look around in the significant body weight trainers and you will discover they use very few with the devices but a lot of free of charge-weights.

There are lots of educational institutions of assumed regarding the precise methodology i.e. the motion for every muscle mass or the established and the quantity of rep's - which is repetitions, that you must do to for maximum advantage... you really need to check about and uncover what suits you and what is easily the most cozy for you...

... but remember to not be much too comfy - you must place in a few work, get some sweat functioning down the crack within your butt (gross..!) and ache a little Once you end.

My technique I take advantage of for myself is something I've designed more than a great a few years of demo, error and practise... It can be relatively straightforward but very productive... and I've taught it to Other folks to great result - and yep, that features Significantly more mature people today and those with detrimental well being problems... it hasn't did not impress nevertheless..!

I don't use extravagant equipment or procedures, just a little list of dumb-bells whilst wearing my rattiest t-shirt, shorts and education footwear... maybe some monitor-fit pants in winter and frequently no shoes whatsoever all through summer months and I do everything inside the comfort and ease of my own residence.

You could be different and you could possibly, a minimum of at the outset, have to have the guidance of a personal trainer or a friend or maybe a enable group at at your local fitness center - for me these days, I choose training initial thing each morning, in solitude even though Hearing tunes or some information on the radio... I have a tendency to use enough time to replicate on what I need to attain during the class of the approaching working day...

... and be careful who you get to guide you - a nicely-this means but inept individual trainer or manual could damage you just as conveniently as you might hurt on your own.

I am not going to go into my actual methodology here simply because While I comprehend it as straightforward, it will nonetheless get an entire heap of in depth conveying and lots of writing in addition to a entire pile of proper shots etc., so you could potentially see precise examples... that is all data for another day Or possibly even for the entire training course that I intend developing in the not-too-distant upcoming - we will see..!

Suffice to convey, just get available and Go searching... try out some different things right until you discover the tactic that suits you, Never be in the hurry to get "buff" and bear in mind, This is certainly like another pastime - "practise helps make ideal..!"

A Final Anecdote

It is not All people's "cup-o-tea" as it normally takes a little exertion, and that is just high-quality and understood - It truly is your life and it's essential to do what ever 'blows your hair back again'... BUT... it doesn't matter your age, you truly Really should be producing power instruction a regular routine so you keep your toughness, your vitality and also your independence, for that longest doable time...

For the massive Rewards it can offer you, it essentially can take up amazingly minimal time, a median Aceh M Sulaeman half an hour a few periods a week is all you require - honestly, the amount of hours do you might want to commit in front of the Television or on Facebook..?

* * *

To brighten your mood before you go, how concerning this amusing minimal ditty from Kenn Nesbitt:

I went into the gymnasium.

I lifted a weight.

My muscles bought bigger.

It felt genuinely terrific.

I hoisted A further,

a heavier a person.

I obtained even more robust.

I assumed it had been fun.

I wandered outdoors the place

I bent a steel bar.

I pulled up a park bench

and carried a car.

I picked up a truck

after which got down to try out

to spice up a large building

I spotted close by.

So now I'm in jail, with

my muscles to thank.

I almost certainly shouldn't have

held up that financial institution.

* * *

The twelve advantages of sufficient Vitamin D3 (CHOLECALCIFEROL) are conveniently discovered from the professional medical literature. These Positive aspects show up in plenty of unique places that it might be assumed the scientific studies are legitimate.

hiiiiiiiii dkfhjdhf sorry, i know i went missing for a long af while and now im basically spamming you BUT i watched Fire Island tonight

what a great fucking movie, recommended it to everyone I know now, it was fantastic and I loved how they managed to incorporate a letter into the storyline, and Noah, I really feel for him and love him as a character and would love to be friends with him, Will was amazing, I laughed so much at his dancing lmao I loved Charlie, he really does give the perfect Bingley vibes, and Howie, damn, I adore him, seriously, and that scene at the end where they see the older queer couple dancing in the pier ahhhhh I loved it so fucking much, but most of all the thing that really filled my heart with happiness was seeing the queer community and found family in the movie, that's something I want for myself, to live with people who really understand, being in the closet is exhausting, and while I'm out to a lot of people there's even more people from whom I have to hide myself, I'm not ready to come out either but I just hope that when I do I can find something like what they have :'3

-M<3

FIRE ISLAND FUCK YEA[answering posts in reverse order cuz the tumblr keeps glitching and my drafts dont get saved;-;] also for some reason i didnt realize fire island was like. a real place. anyway <3

i really really loved that they incorporated a letter into the storyline it really cemented the pride and prejudice inspo . on that topic have you seen the lizzie bennet series?? its a youtube web series and it was so good like p&p works always slap

back to fire island , i really loved seeing the entire film consist of queer ppl and noah's narrations , and also the hierarchy that exists within the queer community[also help i screamed when the ppl at the "highest" were mostly white/abled/attractive like fire island was written really well huh]

the narrative structure of it happening on the days of the week was so pleasing for some reason but really that much did happen in 7 days?? phew

will. i cannot. so heres the thing right, i knew conrad ricamora from htagwm and i thought he was a pretty cool actor. but he was so much hotter in this movie???? like when he said"okay. you win" I BLUSHED SO HARD😳😳

i really liked the way the movie portrayed that while some queer things are universal its still a vastly different experience for everyone and like. yea

noah was such a fun main character like the way he was pretty nice at the start but then is immediately bitchy™ the moment he finds out that will looks down on them ["he is not hot enough to be that annoying" (my first thought was will thinks that noah is hot?? lmaoo)]

AND YES being closeted or partly closeted can feel so isolating and exhausting ,being around queer ppl is so ahhh it just makes me feel safer and makes my heart feel fuller somehow. the old queer couple dancing was (at least in my opinion) one of the most important scenes cuz!! i feel like a lot of queer ppl dont really see the future as a concrete thing(ik its a general thing also but its different from a queer perspective )!!! and just maybe in the future we'll be dancing in the sunset!!!

p.s. i really truly hope with all my heart that the future you want becomes true. you deserve it

Phew, it's been A Year™ my friends.

How are you all doing? I suppose reviving this account was only half successful, but I'm realising more and more how nice it is to be able to write more than 240 characters haha

I noticed I'm in the habit of losing sight of my goals throughout the year, especially when things get stressful and I get overwhelmed. But I had a lot of time to think the past 5 days and honestly, I think my main problem is that I prefer thinking about things rather than doing them and I also think it's time to change that.

Here's my focus for next year:

Client Work

writing HYMNS

Tutorials & Art Help (would you be interested in mentorships/gumroad courses/patreon/…?)

And I'd love to get into bookbinding as well! If any of you have experience with that or an idea where and how to start, I'd be very grateful for any advice!

Ok that's enough text, thank you for sticking around and all your lovely messages this year ♥

#yes I read through them when I'm sad #stopped me from giving up at least twice #on to 2022!#phia talks

so i just finished the nanny (phew!) and i really enjoyed it. i’ve had a lot of controversial opinions™ about this show that nobody cares about, but for the most part, i really loved it. i liked fran and her lucy and ethel shenanigans with val, i loved her relationship with the kids (my favorite part of the show tbh), and i adored fran’s love of parody, musical theater, and breaking the fourth wall. what i really didn’t like were mr. sheffield and sylvia, and the fran/shef relationship. again, i get that sylvia’s guilt routine was supposed to be a running gag, but it just felt too selfish and mean-spirited at times, and this is coming from a show with niles and cc. i have relatives who are way too much like sylvia for her character to not drive me nuts...let’s put it that way. but renee taylor and the whole cast were great.

however, it’s the fran/shef relationship that i was most looking forward to, and the fran/shef relationship that disappointed me the most. it just felt like maxwell was...putting up with fran for the most part. i mean, sure he cared about her, and he was attracted to her, but he just...always put her down, even after they were married. to me, it just felt like he never appreciated her for who she really was, and whenever anything went wrong, even with his own investments (that he failed to do research on), he would blame her and then cartoonishly chase her around the house. and again, i get that it was supposed to be funny. but the thing about characters, even in a fluffy sitcom, is that they’re supposed to grow, change, and evolve as people. and maxwell never really does. he’s a bit less uptight and a bit less grief-stricken over sara’s death, but he ends the series as the same grouchy, controlling, selfish asshole he started out as.

fran grows and changes because of the kids. her relationships with maggie and gracie in particular help all three of them mature and realize their full potential as their own confident women in a patriarchal world. and honestly, i think those relationships are what the show was really about, especially considering that fran drescher and peter marc jacobson didn’t want to marry fran and shef in the first place. it felt to me like they only got married because of the network mandate fran had become a mother to the kids and was obsessed with getting married. she was attracted to shef, but it never really felt like love to me. both because he constantly treated her like shit and because they had nothing in common.

the reason why i love tony and angela so much is because, despite the fact that they were “from two different worlds”, they were friends long before they were ever lovers. sure, there were times when angela was embarrassed of tony being obnoxious, and times when tony undermined angela’s authority, but that wasn’t so much a running gag as it was part of the evolution of their relationship. they grew to see each other as equals. they had common interests, and surprisingly common childhood experiences. they watched musicals together. tony taught angela how to play baseball and pool. because of him, angela started her own business, and learned that she didn’t have to separate her dorky and professional sides, that she could be her whole self without any shame. because of angela, tony went to college. he learned how to be a better father to his daughter, and more open-minded towards women’s issues than he was with his late wife. he became as much of a father to jonathan as angela became a mother to sam. they were a family because of more than just their attraction to each other. in a lot of ways, they were kindred spirits who benefited from having each other in their lives. not just as lovers or friends, but as people. they were literally able to realize their dreams because of each other.

fran and shef have almost nothing in common, and even though she always supports him, he only openly does so for her when it means he can keep her as “the nanny” and himself as “the head of the household.” sure, they kiss and have romantic outings and the like, but they never really had a stage in between the boss/employee relationship and the husband/wife relationship where they were just allowed to be friends. shef (and by extension, we the audience) learn a lot about fran as a person, but fran (and again, the audience) learns very little about shef outside of his role as the “uptight boss.” and even though, in reality, fran and the kids almost always got the final say, it never felt like he was as much of a good influence on her as she was on him and the household. fuck, niles and cc got more character development than shef did. maybe there’s something i’m missing, but the way their relationship played out was just so frustrating to me. especially compared to their predecessors (in wtb and the sound of music).

but like i said, it was overall a great watch. def recommend.

#the nanny #controversial opinions(tm) over now i wanna watch the reunion show #and honestly even if they were just playing fran/max like ricky/lucy which i get #the chasey aspects of that relationship do not work in a modern context for a number of reasons #so even tho it was funny at times i feel like it may have been a bad call to keep it going for so long #this was way longer than i thought it would be lol #and so incoherent omg #text #who's the boss?

How We Showed One Vancouver MedSpa It IS Possible To Find a Great, Trustworthy Marketing Agency

Like we list on our website, our Canadian-based agency provides just about every service you could require for digital marketing: logo and graphic design, custom website design and development, SEO and SEM marketing, social media marketing, content writing, copywriting, newsletters, and strategy consulting (phew!).

But sometimes it seems like I could add another service to that list: digital therapist.

That’s because so many of our clients come to us after getting burned by other agencies or web developers.

They’ve often spent a fortune on a website that doesn’t represent their business well and, simply put, doesn’t generate any interest or sales. Not only do they lose money, but they also lose time, momentum, confidence, and often trust in the process.

That’s where my role as a digital therapist comes in.

It’s my job to help clients discover that working with an agency on their business goals can actually be fruitful and fun. I have to show them they can trust again, even if they’ve been burned before.

And that’s just what we did for Deez Skin Rejù & Pain Clinic™.

Dr. Dheshnie Thangavelu is a highly skilled, board-certified anesthesiologist and Master Injector, working in both the anesthetic and aesthetic fields at her clinical medispa practice in downtown Vancouver.

She is also a perfectionist and brilliant professional with a fine eye for detail – qualities that just weren’t coming through in her current website.

And because her existing website failed to both reflect her professional services properly and appeal to her target market, she wasn’t getting any new business.

No wonder she felt burned by the process!

Dr. Thangavelu was seeking a better solution, and that’s how we connected on Instagram. Together, we started working on a complete rebrand and website redesign for her in the fall of 2020.

The result? Dr. Thangavelu now has a professionally compelling online presence that reflects her services and unique selling proposition. And, perhaps just as important, she has a marketing team she can rely on, freeing up her energy to focus on what she does best.

“Susan and Daniel are amazing,” says Dr. Thangavelu. “They turned my website into exactly what I wanted, and everyone has been noticing it.”

Keep reading to see how eVision Media gained Dr. Thangavelu’s trust – and why we’ve kept it.

The project at a glance

There are very few situations where a business needs ‘just’ a website. Our project for Dr. Thangavelu was actually a 9-month phased approach using several members of our team.

Beginning with the branding process, we then moved to keyword research so that we could infuse SEO with the designing and building of the fully optimized website.

Once the site was launched, we continued SEO techniques to ensure the site could be easily found by the clinic’s target audience. We also began a social media and digital marketing campaign for a 6-month period.

And of course, the project also included my hands-on consulting with Dr. Thangavelu to help her realize her bigger goals and dreams.

Let’s break down some of the key components of this journey.

A complete brand and website redesign

We start every client with an in-depth brand analysis to define their unique selling proposition (USP), target audience, company vision, brand positioning and more.

This analysis made it clear we needed a new logo for Deez Skin Reju. Dr. Thangavelu’s existing logo had a dated feel, and it didn’t reflect the clinic’s trendy, high-end aesthetic.

Working closely with Dr. Thangavelu, the final logo design is one she loves and represents her clinic accurately.

Whether you’re brand new to the web or have some experience in this environment, teaming with us offers you a unique combination of creative artistry, technical knowledge, marketing expertise and copywriting capability.

A more user-friendly website

Despite what the commercials may tell you, building a website is not easy. Without proper planning and strategy before you start building, a website is just as likely to confuse potential customers as convert them.

Dr. Thangavelu’s existing website did not position her as the expert in her field, nor did it help users navigate and understand her service options.

That’s why one of the first steps in this web design project was to build a user-friendly navigation system.

This included a MEGA menu that reveals all of the various treatments the clinic offers, along with links to their respective pages. And part of our efforts included sorting through Dr. Thangavelu’s many offerings and products, creating a new smart map to enhance user experience on the website.

READ: The Importance of Brand Messaging for a Successful Website Redesign

I’m sure you’ve landed on someone’s website and felt like something was just… wrong; or maybe you were suddenly turned off without even knowing why.

Chances are, you quickly clicked back to find a competitor’s website, where you felt more comfortable and secure.

Your visitors could feel the same way if you don’t pay attention to how you come across to your target audience. That’s why it’s crucial to identify your brand style before you redesign your website.

In this article, I’m going to share five questions you need to answer to determine your business brand identity and create the most effective website possible.
