Nothing like Heartstopper S2E8 removing some of Taylor Swift's "seven" lyrics just so that the singing can specifically come back in at "Or hide in the closet" while Isaac is processing difficult emotions related to the book he's reading (i.e., Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen).
Did I mention "Or hide in the closet" hits just as the camera focus finishes shifting away from Isaac?
This is fine
#This is not fine#Warning: Long tags ahead (2 topics)#TOPIC 1:#I'm glad Isaac feels safe enough to be reading this book and processing emotions around his friends#That's the positive spin on “he's quietly dealing with a lot while next to his friends and they're not noticing and he's not sharing" right#The contrast of this with the happy friend-bonding montage time feels purposeful and sad (esp. with lyrics about staying in the closet)#but on the bright side this is in the midst of happy friend-bonding montage time so we also see them having happy bonding times together#- showing the friendship is still strong even if right now Isaac isn't wholly known or fully fitting#Hopefully this is leading to Isaac telling his friends what he's going through in S3 and the friendships adapting to fit him better#TOPIC 2:#Also - don't think it's unintentional that where the camera focus shifts to is Nick with his arms around Charlie and then kissing his head#I think we're being purposefully distracted from Isaac with allo 'cuteness'#Because what the other characters often get swept up in - especially as they all couple up in S2 - is alloromantic/allosexual interactions#And that's frequently what the world prioritises or cares more about too#I think the show is intentionally calling everyone - from the characters to us watching them to the whole world - out#So that hopefully we (general) can all be more aware and do better#[In case you were wondering this N&C/Isaac scene is also right after we see short clips of Elle & Tao and Tara & Darcy cuddling -#which also seems very intentional: Isaac - sandwiched in between views of cuddling couples - alone in more ways than one]#CONCLUSION:#I think everything is working together to highlight the contrast between what N&C and Isaac are respectively experiencing in this moment#Did I mention this is not fine?#It is well done though#heartstopper mini moment#isaac henderson#aroace#aromantic asexual#lgbtqia+#queer#taylor swift#seven

Hii! I have been recently getting more and more obsessed with your art and webcomic and was wondering if I could use your art as like a profile picture? (With credit!!) If not that's perfectly fine! :)
yeah you can use my art for whatever as long as you're not stealing it or selling it
I don't mind if people print my art out for themselves either. I do sell prints, but it doesn't bother me either way
In general I don't post anything that I haven't made my peace with all that comes with sharing my art publicly! So feel free to use it as you please pretty much.
Giving me credit for the things I've made is respectful and helps me in my career, and I would hope that most people intend to respect my work... And the people who don't respect my work were never going to whether I asked or not.
I make my work for other people to enjoy it, I want you to enjoy it!
#I sort of have a general thought process that like.#the main thing of my work is... my comics!#and thats my writing and my drawing and its these huge longform things#that to be quite honest. would be a ton of work to steal LMFAO#but theyre more intrinsically connected to me#knowing the name of the comics and the characters#looking for more. it's me. like it's always gonna come back to me...#But I also in general as a person... I sort of hate the concept of copyright#it plays at the idea of benefitting artists but the intent is to benefit corporations#and artists get screwed out of owning their OWN WORK for the benefit of said corporations...#The things that copyright are meant to protect are things that wouldnt matter if we werent living in CAPITALISM!!!#I wouldnt CARE if someone stole my stuff if I didnt have to worry about potential lost customers#so. I just try to lead my life and my art in ways that reflect my ideals#which is like... yeah go ahead. use it for whatever#I expect you to respect me and if you don't then I know it doesnt matter what I ask for. because it wasnt going to be respected anyways.#if you feel bad taking my stuff or printing it out yourself or whatever you can throw a couple bucks my way#helps me pay the bills lmao#but if you don't its fine. I'll be okay and it won't ruin me.#asks#anon#this isnot me saying yeah go ahead and steal my art LMAO#this is just like yeah as long as you arent saying or implying you made my work#or selling it when I am selling that same thing (stealing my money from me)#then. like. whatever#doesnt affect me negatively at all. I made my art for other people to enjoy it#I want you to enjoy it!

Sometimes I read stories / themes very surface level like "the characters did a bad thing... And it WASN'T EXPLICITLY CRITICIZED ?!?!?!?" and then 5 minutes later I'll be like "wtf was I thinking. Am I fucking stupid"

creating a spreadsheet of the trio's lines in the webnovel vs webcomic (as one does), and. i am on the FLOOR their characterisation differs so much from the webnovel and webcomic?!?!??? 😭😭 they took away all of hestio's flavour!!! and Ephael is a lot more stereotypical sunshine too i am losing my mind
Gone:
In the toy mansion, Ephael said that Tesilid was not just his friend, but his "best friend", so Ailette gave him more food. Hestio got very visibly sad and angry.
Whenever they're in battle, Hestio kind of talks to Ephael like he's a P*kemon ("Ephael, go and bite them!" / "Uh... okay.")
Ephael is pretty quiet and subdued throughout the toy mansion, while in the comic he's very artificially cheery.
ALMOST THE ENTIRETY OF HESTIO'S LINES WHEN THEY SNUCK TESILID FOOD IN PRISON IS GONE?!?!?!?? 😭😭😭😭😭😭 THE VIBES ARE SO DIFFERENT
Webnovel has BOTH Hestio and Ephael handing over food (in the webcomic only Ephael brought food. I dunno what Hestio was doing there.)
ONLY the webnovel has Hestio's extremely cute "What? Are you going to refuse the food because the rules are important? (annoyed but also genuinely scared)" / ".....I thought I'd have to shove the food down your mouth if you refused. Well, eat up."
The webcomic has Hestio suddenly ruin the entire mood by saying "🙄😒 did you know 🤓 the vatican is taking things out on you bc you refuse to kill heretics. also idc if the heretics are actually evil or not, what matters is that the vatican wants to know if youre on their side." like stfu please 😭 In the webnovel Hestio only brings this up because Ephael went "cheer up! if it werent for the city making a fuss, the vatican wouldn't have done this" and Hestio corrected him bc he wanted Tesilid not to misunderstand his situation with the Vatican.
What did they make comic!Hestio so callous for !!!!! 😭😭😭 Hestio is a SOFTIE with a mean streak and sharp tongue!!!
#a transmigrator's privilege#the perks of being an s class heroine#vatican trio#hestio ligenel#ephael chaletino#CRYING MY EYES OUT#THEIR NOVEL CHARACTERISATION IS SO CUTE THO?!?!??????#spoilers in next tags#on god if they take away hestio shutting up and ephael taking over the convo in the reunion scene i am going to CRY#that scene is so precious to me?!??#novel dynamic of hestio being the one taking the lead and ephael backing him up is so precious to me#anyway if anyone wants access to the spreadsheet lmk.... sobbing#anw i started this mini project bc ora you said that you couldnt tell who was talking in mirror dungeon (so valid)#and i was like oh the more casual one is eph-- ....is it actually? where did i get this impression#im done w the tutorial arc but its alr making me MISERABLE wym their characterisation changes so much 😭😭😭😭#anw in their childhood they both talk in v similar ways#as adults one of them is casual and the other uses more formal speech patterns#also if any one is cussing either ephael or tesilid out its almost definitely hestio. lol.#by the process of elimination (no one else in the party would be so rude to ephael)#and ephael is generally more chill about tesilid#u cant really tell while reading but ephael very rarely says bad things about tesilid#its usually hestio that's mean about it and hes so loud + ephael doesnt disagree with him so its v easy to attribute it to him too#i mean ephael prob also shares the same thoughts. but its usually hestio voicing it and w that much negativity#ephaels just like lol our boy tesilid is up to his usual hijinks again. haha#while hestio is like UGH this ASSHOLE can you fucking BELIEVE HIM. just LOOK at him what does he think he's doing#ephael (neutral): oh tesilid not again#hestio (screaming and full of hate): tesilid not again!!

hey sara when you read rwrb did you also assume alex knew he was bi up until his sexuality crisis revealed the truth to you or was it just me who labored under delusions for the first 25 percent of the book, a whole quarter of the way through, before getting the shocking surprise that alex claremont-diaz, main character of nyt bestselling debut novel red white and royal blue, by author casey mcquiston, was NOT an out and proud bisexual man?
no actually, because im not delulu like u are . anyway .

Some people cannot be trusted to try discerning what is and isn't AI because their standards are frequently based around how people *talk*, like in a casual conversational way, and not about how people *write*. This is I think a perfect example.
As mentioned, an em dash is a perfectly normal thing that humans use all the goddamn time. But because it's not the kind of thing you'd use when texting someone, a bunch of people think it's not something that would be used naturally.
"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."
Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.
Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

Why Do You Need Lead Generation?
Success hinges on visibility, outreach, and, most importantly, attracting the right customers. Whether you’re a startup trying to build brand awareness or an established enterprise aiming to scale, lead generation plays a crucial role in your growth strategy.
Investment leads are potential clients interested in financial products or services. They help firms grow by targeting individuals ready to invest.
But what exactly is lead generation, and why do you need it? Let’s dive deeper.
What Is Lead Generation?
These “leads” are potential customers who have shown some level of engagement — such as filling out a contact form, subscribing to a newsletter, downloading a resource, or following your brand on social media.
Forex trading leads are potential clients interested in currency trading. These leads help brokers grow by targeting active or aspiring forex investors.
Lead generation can happen through various channels:
Content marketing (blogs, eBooks, webinars)
Email marketing
Social media
SEO and PPC advertising
Landing pages and forms
Cold outreach (calls, emails, DMs)
The goal is to move these potential customers through the sales funnel — from awareness to interest, then decision and action.
Stock broker leads are potential investors seeking brokerage services. These leads help brokers grow their client base and boost trading commissions.
Why Is Lead Generation Important?
1. Business Growth
Lead generation fuels your business pipeline. Without new leads, your customer base stagnates or shrinks, leading to declining revenue. By consistently generating leads, you ensure a steady flow of prospects, which is essential for sustained growth.
A business lead is a potential customer or client showing interest in a product or service, essential for driving sales and growth.
2. Targeting the Right Audience
Modern lead generation isn’t about casting a wide net and hoping for the best. Instead, it’s about targeted outreach — focusing on individuals or companies most likely to benefit from your offerings. This increases your chances of conversion and improves return on investment (ROI).
With tools like customer personas, market research, and CRM data, businesses can tailor their campaigns to specific demographics, behaviors, and needs.
Google lead services help businesses capture potential customer information through targeted ads, driving qualified leads directly from search results and websites.
3. Improved Sales and Marketing Alignment
Marketing teams generate interest and hand off qualified leads to the sales team, who then work to close the deal. A strong lead generation strategy ensures that both departments are aligned on goals, processes, and target customers.
This alignment leads to:
Higher conversion rates
Better communication
Shorter sales cycles
MLM leads are potential recruits or customers interested in multi-level marketing opportunities, helping businesses expand their network and sales.
4. Building Brand Awareness
Effective lead generation increases your brand’s visibility in the marketplace. By offering valuable content or solutions through different channels, you’re not just generating leads — you’re building trust and authority.
Tumblr media
Even if a lead doesn’t convert immediately, brand exposure helps keep your business top-of-mind when the need arises. Investor leads are potential individuals or entities interested in funding opportunities, crucial for startups and businesses seeking capital and growth.
5. Data and Insights
Every lead generation campaign provides valuable data. You can track:
Which channels bring in the most leads
What content resonates with your audience
How long it takes for a lead to convert
These insights help you optimize your marketing strategies, personalize messaging, and allocate resources more effectively. Buy SEO leads to connect with businesses actively seeking search engine optimization services, boosting your sales pipeline and conversions quickly.
6. Cost Efficiency
Lead generation — especially through inbound methods like SEO or content marketing — can be more cost-effective than traditional advertising. Instead of pushing your message to the masses, you’re attracting people already searching for what you offer.
Over time, this approach reduces your cost-per-lead (CPL) and increases your marketing ROI.
Real estate investor leads are potential buyers or investors interested in property opportunities, essential for growing real estate portfolios and deals.
Types of Lead Generation Strategies
Lead generation isn’t one-size-fits-all. The best strategies depend on your business type, industry, and target audience. Common approaches include:
Inbound Marketing: Attracting leads through valuable content, SEO, and thought leadership.
Outbound Marketing: Proactively reaching out via email, cold calling, or direct mail.
Social Media Marketing: Engaging potential leads through platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook.
Paid Advertising: Using Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or LinkedIn Ads to generate traffic and leads.
A well-rounded lead generation plan often combines several of these methods to maximize reach and results.
Stock leads are potential investors interested in buying or selling stocks, helping brokers and firms increase client engagement and trading volume.
Qualifying and Nurturing Leads
Some are ready to buy immediately (hot leads), while others need more time and education (warm or cold leads).
Property leads are potential buyers or renters interested in real estate, helping agents connect with clients and close deals efficiently.
That’s why lead qualification and nurturing are key steps in the process.
Lead Scoring: Assigns values to leads based on behavior, demographics, and engagement.
Email Nurturing Campaigns: Gradually build trust and educate leads over time.
Retargeting Ads: Re-engage visitors who left your site without converting.
This helps ensure your sales team focuses their efforts on high-quality leads with the best chance of conversion.
B2C lead generation companies help businesses attract and convert individual consumers into customers through targeted marketing and data-driven strategies.
Final Thoughts
Lead generation is not just a marketing buzzword — it’s a foundational business activity. Without it, customer acquisition becomes inconsistent and unpredictable. With it, you gain a structured, scalable way to attract and convert prospects, boost revenue, and stay ahead of the competition.
A Lead Generation Specialist identifies and attracts potential customers, helping businesses grow by delivering qualified leads to sales teams efficiently.
Whether you’re using organic tactics like SEO and content or paid methods like digital ads, investing in lead generation is investing in your company’s future. It’s how you build meaningful relationships, increase brand awareness, and, most importantly, drive growth.
Best B2B lead generation companies provide targeted, high-quality leads to businesses, enhancing sales pipelines and driving sustainable growth effectively.

Looking at some of your work, it is stunning but it is very similar in style to AI artwork, do you have any recommendations for how to tell apart photography like yours from AI.
I've been thinking about this. And this may sound controversial at first, but I'm hoping people will hear me out.
We should stop trying so hard to detect AI art.
I think we should all lift that burden from our brains.
I have often talked about "woke goggles." Where conservatives have lost the ability to enjoy anything because they are hypervigilant about detecting anything woke. They've cursed themselves into just hating everything. All they have left is the "God's Not Dead" Cinematic Universe.
Tumblr media
And I worry people are getting AI goggles now. They are so concerned about accidentally enjoying robot art and hurting artists that they have overcorrected to the point where they are hurting artists.
One cannot say "AI is all soulless slop that always looks bad" and then accuse a real artist of making something that looks like AI and not hurt them. By doing so, it includes the baggage of all of the "slop" comments along with it. This crusade is having collateral damage to the very artists we are trying to protect.
Yes, we need to be cautious about malicious AI images. Misinformation and deepfakes are going to be a big problem. People using AI imagery for profit is already a mess. But if you are cruising your feed and like a cool sci-fi robot gal or a photo of a waterfall and it turns out to be AI... that's fine.
It was trained by real artists and AI is going to create some cool shit because of that.
Honestly, I think a lot of the worst slop is because the dipshits creating the prompts have no artistic taste. People keep blaming the AI for how bad it looks and often don't consider it is a product of the loser who published it.
There is plenty of non-slop out there that has fooled me. And, like it or not, it is going to get harder and harder to tell what is AI. Until there are better tools or better regulations, I don't think there is much we can do to avoid enjoying AI art every once in a while. If only by accident.
Current "AI detectors" are mostly a scam. Even the best forensic-level AI image detectors struggle to stay above 70–80% accuracy across a wide range of models and image types. And that's in controlled lab conditions.
Free online tools often drop to near coin-flip accuracy (50–60%), especially with newer image generators and post-processing applied.
The best way to avoid AI imagery is to look at an artist's body of work. It's much harder to create consistent, non-obvious fake images in a large sample size. That is usually enough to have confidence in authenticity. Plus, if they have posted similar art before 2022, you can pretty much rule out any shenanigans.
Otis literally died before genAI was available.
But images you see in the wild, just let yourself enjoy them if that is what your brain wants to do. It'll be okay.
I just think we are attacking this backwards. If we want to protect artists, we need to support them.
Calling out random AI art does not support them.
It does not put money in their pockets.
It does not grow their audience.
Over a decade ago I tried to lead a fight to create better systems of attribution on websites like Reddit and Imgur. I even spoke to the Imgur team after an article was written about me.
Tumblr media
I asked them to allow sources on their posts and to develop tech that would help people find where an image came from. They said they were "working on it" and it never manifested.
IMAGE SHARING SITES STEAL MORE FROM ARTISTS THAN AI.
But we just kind of accepted it. No one really joined me in my fight. The prevailing defeatist attitude was, "That's just the way it is."
I think now is the time to demand better attribution systems. We need to be vigilant about making sure as many posts as possible have good sourcing. If an image on Reddit goes viral, the top comment should be the source. And if it isn't, you should try to find it and add it.
Just to be clear, "credit to the original artist" is NOT proper attribution.
And perhaps we can lobby these image sharing sites to create better sourcing systems and tools. They could even use fucking AI to find the earliest posted version of an image.
And it would be nice if it didn't require people to go into the comments to find the source. It could just be in the headline. They could even create little badges "made by a human" for verified artists.
Good attribution helps artists grow their audience. It is one of the single most effective things you can do to help them.
I literally just got this message...
Tumblr media
There are maybe 10 popular artists who I helped grow their audience early on. Just because I reblogged their work and added links to all of their social media. I even hired my best friend to add sourcing information to every post because I believed so much in good attribution.
Calling out AI art may feel good in the moment. You caught someone trying to trick people and it feels like justice. But, in most cases, the tangible benefits to real artists seem small. It impedes your ability to enjoy art without always being suspicious. And the risk of telling someone you think they make soulless slop doesn't seem worth it.
But putting that time and effort into attribution *would* be worth it. I have proven it time and time again.
I also think people should consider having a monthly art budget. I don't care if it is $5. But if we all commit to seeking out cool artists and being their collective patrons, we could really make a difference and keep real art alive. Just commit to finding a cool new artist every month and financially contributing to them in some way.
On a bigger scale I think advocating for universal basic income, art grants for education and creation, and government regulation of AI would all be helpful long term goals. Though I think our friends in Europe may have to take the lead on regulation at the moment.
So...
Stop worrying about enjoying or calling out AI art.
Demand better attribution from image sharing sites.
Make sure all art has a source listed.
Start an art budget.
Advocate for better regulations.

Every time someone from an EU member country says that European products are safer because the FDA has had public issues before I want to grab them and yell that if the EU had 1 singular regulator creating and enforcing regulations in all member countries that organization would also have very public failures. The FDA being ONE agency running (most) food and drug rules in the USA means there is ONE place to point at when there is an issue, even when it’s a problem the FDA caught before it affected anyone. If Germany’s BVL fails to catch a food contamination before it makes people sick, people aren’t going to blame the EU regulations as a concept the same way they blame the FDA, because there are a lot of factors in regulation and enforcement that can increase the odds something gets missed even when hypothetically every country and every agency involved has the same standards.
