Fic Throwback Thursday

Fanfic writers: if there’s an old story of yours that never made it to tumblr, or got buried, or just hasn’t gotten much attention in a while, consider this an invitation to promote it! I would love to see my dash filled with fic recs I missed the first time around. You wrote the words, and you should be proud of them no matter how much time has passed. Add this note to your post, and let’s see how many writers we can get to self-promote!

This tbt I offer a cracky confession, for all your cracky confession needs:

Happy Accidents

Rating: G

Wordcount: 1,200

Summary:

“Night, Aziraphale. Love you.” “Love you too, dear.” Crowley made it as far as the door before several vital mechanisms of his brain fell out of their couplings and clanked against the floor of his skull. "Um." (When Aziraphale and Crowley finally confess to each other, it's completely unintentional)

Regarding how toms post is being interpreted, the clickbait dramatic headline will always win. I don’t believe that there’s any way he could have worded things in that video that would have resulted in some super nuanced “Tom holland promotes mental health apps while talking about his own mental health” headline because that’s a boring headline. As soon as he mentioned his own struggles it was always going to be “Tom holland says social media is detrimental to his mental health” or “Tom holland says reading things about himself makes him spiral” etc. make it as dramatic as possible because why not, you’re trying to get clicks. It’s unfortunate but the apps and his charity were never going to be the main headline regardless of how he phrased it.

I take your point. But it wasn't just clickbait dramatic headlines; it was nearly everyone who read it other than those very few of us who can cite Tom quotations from 2020 interviews or snippets from the mountain of NWH press.

As for wording it differently, yeah, he definitely could have! It's more than "wording," though, which is a verb that trivializes all the rhetorical choices that entail writing well. I'll go ahead and belabor this point because talking about writing is my passion. Feel free to skip if you think writing is boring /lh

From my own limited expertise I know that you have to assume that audiences, especially the huge unintended audience that makes up entertainment media, have very little background knowledge or understanding of what you're trying to accomplish by your speech act, so you have to lead them through by emphasizing the right things at the right length and right time. I also know that readers/audience members pay attention to beginnings and endings of things especially. So if it's crucial that he discuss his own experience, which it isn't, that testimony goes in the significantly less prominent middle of the video. One alternative would be to start by explaining what stem4 is (which he didn't do in any detail), what the apps are (which he didn't really do beyond a few phrases), how they help (which he merely gestured towards), who should check them out, etc. Then you maybe discuss a sentence or two, tops, about your own experience, maybe along the lines of "As I've said many times, I routinely take social media breaks because it can get overstimulating for me and i prioritize my own mental health, as I know if the case for others, too. I'm in the middle of one now, actually, but this opportunity is worth a quick return. Because these apps can help you figure out what's right for you." Then TBT briefly and back to how to support stem4.

What Tom did was open with a sort of somber testimony about how he's been struggling to make this video, how he suffers from reading about himself online, how he's only here for a second because it's all too much for him, how he's leaving soon, and then, "oh hey my family has a charity (no one necessarily knows or remembers this), oh yeah that charity just recently decided to sponsor this company with four mental health apps (is the number of apps truly important?), one is about self-harm, i tried them all, go learn details about them from somewhere else other than this video." The structure and words of the video, and the whole presentation, emphasized Tom and how vulnerable he is. Pair that with an unintended but extremely predictable audience of online editors who want to create clickbait, and it's obvious what's coming.

Assessment 2

Hashtags have become an iconic feature of social media, allowing users to categorise the content they output or that they consume. There are endless hashtags, but there are a few that are my favourite to use or see, and I will discuss them and their many functions.

My favourite hashtag by far is #ThrowbackThursday, commonly #TBT. This used to share nostalgic memories and photos from our lives, originally on Thursdays but that aspect has become less important. It is a phenomenal way to reminisce about meaningful events and communicate with those who relate and share these experiences. As well as these social functions, businesses and organisations use it to promote their products or services, with a vintage and retro perspective.

Another hashtag that I love using is #Foodie. As its name implies, this hashtag is used to share pictures and reviews of different foods and drinks. It is an enjoyable way to find new food, such as from restaurants and recipes, as well as networking with other like-minded people. A study found that the hashtag #Foodie was one of the most used and popular food-related hashtags on Instagram, suggesting that there is growing attention towards food culture in social media.

The third hashtag that I enjoy using is #MotivationMonday, which is used on Mondays to share inspirational quotes or uplifting stories. It helps people to start the week on a positive note and surround themselves with people who will reciprocate this positivity. A study found that support and motivation from others on social media were the most significant factors as to why people interact with this type of inspirational content on social media platforms.

Finally, I enjoy using #SelfCareSunday, which is used on Sundays to promote self-care and well-being. It encourages the discussion of the mental and physical health of people and to prioritise it. This is through sharing methods and ideas to achieve things such as relaxation, stress management, and mindfulness. In a study, it was found that health-related self-care content, often with the hashtag #selfcare, encouraged protective behaviour by the general public. This shows the potential use of social media platforms and communication through them as a method of self-help and improvement.

In conclusion, hashtags are an effective tool for categorising and discovering content through social media. My favourite hashtags each serve a variety of functions, ranging from nostalgia to inspiration to well-being. They paint a picture of users’ interests and values and provide a method of interaction for any possible user around the world.
