[since everything under a Read More cut gets deleted in case a blog deletes/gets deleted and the WayBackMachine isn’t good with pictures, for Archive Purposes Only, I will add the most important bits of the/rest of the full post and have also checked/updated/added the source links to the best of my abilities.]

"EDIT: So there’s been footage of them since I made this masterpost, so every time there’s more I’m going to add those up top here. If you’re reading this through a reblog just check the main post if there’s anything new.

LOUIS DOING A SIGN LANGUAGE VIDEO??? ARE WE OK? I’M NOT OK [this was 2021]

youtube

Harry saying *something* to filming fans on set:

Initial masterpost:

I have no idea what Harry signs here, but it looks like he knows what he’s doing.

Nobody imagine them taking classes and practicing together: [too late, i'm imagining it 😭😭😭]

Harry during Sign of the Times at MSG (full video). This was on June 21st 2018, exactly a year after the passing of his stepfather, and it’s said he’s signing “father”. However, if he is, it’s ASL not BSL, and I don’t think he’s doing it right. (sign)

Riiiiight noooowww awishuweheeeewithmeeheheee

It’s said that in this fragment Louis signs “H my boy” in BSL. I cannot find the source, so I’m not sure whether it would fit given the context. He might just be making a cool move and nothing more, but it’s compelling.

Here’s “H” in video:

which isn’t exactly the same. However, if it is meant as an H, would that mean every time Louis has been wiping his hands like that as he does, has it been a sign for H; for Harry all this time? If so, I might have to revisit.. well.. all footage of Louis of the past decade. I mean. He does it a lot.

If wiping hands means H, then this is “H forever/hope/promise”?

It’s his go-to thing, I’m low key eyeing footage now, I do am aware how far this is reading into things...

Let’s get back to something more substantial.

During singing “Like this”, not sure if he signs that, too

signs Thank you

Before the moment below they just sang Fresh Prince of Bel Air quite chaotically, [...] Harry says “we didn’t think that one through” and rather than responding to him through his mic, Louis signs something, to which Harry responds “Just telling ya”. At the end it looks like the sign for “nagging”. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s along the lines of “girl, why are you nagging”. (video)

Do we want to get into the dirty part of their sign language?

I mean... I don’t want to explain this.

longer version, because smirks

I... again... maybe just let this speak for itsself.

Thank you, moving on.

Louis signs “mine”, but with the wrong hand and [then] corrects himself [and] gets a thumbs up from Harry.

Now, I don’t know if this is to Harry (some think it is [linked blog no longer active]), to me it looks like he’s maybe just asking someone to put his mic up. (video)

[live concert producer here: yes, he is. they are both asking for more volume of their own voices in their in-ear mixes. also, in the instances where we've seen Louis forming a circle (which sometimes can be mistaken for a heart), he's most likely asking their/the FOH's sound engineer to turn up the entire volume (click or count-ins, vocal mix and a possible backing track) for his in-ear mix. - 2nd clip in this video]

Same goes for this one?

I mean there’s tons of “change up my mic/ my sound” signing u7y<that was my cat’s paw saying hi FDKSAFJHKAJ SHOO

Just put my mic up.

And another version, because that sassy shit was more elaborate than that high quality gif I found:

Mine, too, please.

The gif says “thank you”, but it looks like “fuck you” to me. I have not been able just yet to find the source of the gif, as context would be key here.

This is more of a "thank you":

Louis catches Niall's attention and signs along with “pour me a drink” and then something else, to which Niall signs.. well.. also... something. Context clues are Harry just kinda passive aggressively unnecessarily [going] “I’ve loved you since I was 16, LONDON”, to which Louis [gets] all awkward, so do with that what you will.

Harry [...] saying he wants to learn sign language before the Up All Night tour x

And again x

And [Harry is] still at it, in March 2020:

“Now is the perfect time to learn a new skill and try a new hobby or something, right? We have nothing but time. I was learning Italian and doing some sign language classes.” - x

And now for the big one:

Thumbs up bitches

Generally accepted as meaning “sweetheart”, they did a whole lot of thumbs upping to each other. If this is meant to be “sweetheart / honey / baby” in sign language, it sure was their own spin on it. Although, personally, I’m afraid some, if not most of it was a little less romantic and a little bit more dirty in nature.

continued in Part 2!

It’s a sign language of the times

Or: absolute king shit.

EDIT JULY 9TH 2021: FRESHLY EDITED BECAUSE SOMEONE JUST DID A SIGN LANGUAGE VIDEO AND I’M NOT OK

This post serves as a collection of Louis, Harry, or both using sign language. Unfortunately I don’t know sign language myself, and I don’t know if they (attempted to) use ASL or BSL, but I’ll do my best. Reading comments of those who do it’s clear that some of these signs are not recognized, so either they modified/made up a version only they would understand or we’re just reading into things as we do. If you know sign language and happen to find this post please don’t hesitate to correct me!

Let’s start off megastrong and show that both of them actually know sign language these days.

Here Louis says “let’s do a few photos” so logically that’s probably what he signs as well.

~I have no idea what Harry says here~

Keep reading

Vs: Bede + Enter: Emmet, Eastside, PoliPal and Roadblock + Rename: Lampshade -> Ingo

Once I left Stow-on-Side Stadium, Sonia and her Yamper run into me. She explains that she's here to investigate the mural here in Stow-on-Side. It's said to tell the story of Galar's Hero. Even if what's there today is actually a replica of the ancient art that used to be. Since I have a surprisingly sharp insight, she wants me to go with her to see the ruins with her. Than we heard a lound crashing sound. It sounded like it came the mural. We both go to investigate and-OH GOD DAMMIT OF COURSE IT'S BEDE.

Bede stood in front of the ancient mural, having a Copperajah destroy it. He was trying to get more Wishing Stars for the chairman. I approach him from behind, but he turns around and sees me. He thinks I'm here to get Wishing Stars to get Rose's favor. He wants to fight me in order to get me to "stop getting in his way."

You are challenged by Pokemon Trainer Bede!

His first Pokemon is Duosion, and I send out Vee. Bite knocks out Duosion in a single hit.

His next Pokemon is Gothorita, so I send out Child Safe. Shadow Ball deals high damage, but Gothorita barely survives. They strike back with a Psybeam, dealing mediocre damage. Bede used a Super Potion and I used Gust. One more Shadow Ball takes out Gothorita.

His third pokemon is a Hattena. I decide to use Princess to take Hattena out. Trop Kick deals a lot of Damage, but Hattena survives and uses Psybeam. The following Stomp finishes off Hattena.

His last 'mon is Ponyta. I decide to send out Child Safe again. Bede is getting desperate. He has to win this, he says. For the chairman. However, Ponyta goes down in a single Shadow Ball.

Bede is confused as to how he lost. He was chosen by the chairman, he was supposed to be the one to defeat the champion. And yet, I keep beating him with little to no effort.

While muttering to himself, some League Workers, Oleana, and Chairman Rose himself cane up to the mural. They all seemed upset. Oleana was suspicious of Bede when he asked to borrow Rose's Copperajah. They're shocked that he'd use the Chairman's Pokemon to destroy a historical site. But Bede doesn't care. "Who cares for some ancient ruin when the next thousand years are at stake?", he says. He than insults Oleana, calling her Simple Minded and doubting her loyalty to Rose. However...

Rose speaks up.

"It pains me to have to say this, but...I am truly disappointed. It's true that I am the one who found you, back when you were all alone..."

"I saw talent in you. You reminded me a little bit of myself back when I was young. That's why I sent you to a Trainer's School, to give you a chance at success."

"But trying to destroy the mural-part of Galar's History! You show no love towards Galar! You are clearly not a worthy challenger for the Gym Challenge. We will decide what to do with you later. For now, you will return to Hammerlocke."

Everyone was in shock. Bede was desperately hoping this was just some sort of cruel joke, but no. Bede has been disqualified from the Gym Challenge, with his endorsement from the chairman revoked. Oleana demanded that Bede hand over the Wishing Stars that Bede has collected, as well as his endorsement letter. He didn't want to, so the two League Workers had to step in and remove them by force. They also took him away. I know I hated him, but...I can't help but feel a little bad for him.

Rose spotted Sonia and I, and apologized about the situation we experienced. He never wanted to lose a challenger for this sort of reason, yet he has to do what he has to do to keep things fair and sportsmanlike. With that, Rose and Oleana leave.

Sonia says that during one of Bede's matches that she was watching, the announcer said that Bede has no family. It was Rose that took him in, so Bede was battling for the chairman's sake. This was an awful turn of events. At least the mural's alright-

And the wall fell apart. But behind the wall was a statue. A statue of two wolves, holding a sword and a shield in their mouths. Two Wolves...Two Brothers...a Sword and a Shield.

This wasn't the best turn of events, but the ruins were brought into the light for us to see. The two wolves are probably Pokemon. And they were holding the sword and shield as if they were using them. I thought the hero of galar was actually two people, just like in the tapestries. But than why would only one be depicted in the Budew Drop Inn? More than any statue of a hero or some old tapestries, these ruins made in ancient times show ys the real truth: The Sword and The Shield were Pokemon! Seems like at some point in history, the sword and shield were combined with the actual Pokemon and treated as the same thing. But than what? Did they just fade from history, list to the sands of time? Why would the truth of the ruins be hidden when their stories were depicted in artwork?

Sonia thanked me for helping her make a big discovery and told me where the next gym will be: Ballonlea. She decided to stay so she can investigate further.

I decided it was time to return to the Wild Area and the Isle of Armor to catch new Pokemon. I went to Giant's Mirror first and caught a Joltik that I named Emmet, someone I knew back from my home region of Unova. In order to make it fitting, I went back to the man in the Pokemon Center and renamed my Litwick to Ingo. Afterwards, I went to the Giant's Cap and found an East Sea Shellos. I didn't know what to name, so I called and asked my mom. She suggested Eastside. Not the worst, so sure.

I called for a flying Taxi to fly me to the Isle of Armor. I visited the Brawler's Cave and caught a Poliwag which I named PoliPal. The next are I went to was Loop Lagoon, where I caught a Mareanie that I named Roadblock. I decided to call it a day there. I've been running around for a while, so I went to the Dojo and chilled out.

Evo: Goldeneye + Vs: Gym Leader Allister

After I left the Pokemon Center, I explored the small town of Stow-on-Side. At the foot of the stairway to Stow-on-Side Stadium, there was Hop. He called out to me, so I walked to him. He still seems a bit conflicted about what to do after telling me what HE told him, but the only thing he can do is get stronger, he says. He asked if he could experiment with different fighting styles against me. Sounds like fun, let's do this.

You are challenged by Pokemon Trainer Hop!

His first Pokemon was a Cramorant. My first was Dig Dug, so I switched to Child Safe, since he has a decent matchup against him. Cramorant went for a Dive, so we couldn't hit him. When he was able to attack, he had an Arrokuda in him mouth that he spit back, dealing decent damage and lowering Child Safe's Defense. Once he used Dive, I switched to Princess to resist the hit and hit back as hard as I can. Cramorant outspeeds and hits hard with a Pluck. Princess than KOs Cramorant with a Trop Kick, but gets hurt one more time from the Arrokuda.

His next pokemon is Raboot, so I send out Goldeneye to deal with them. Fortunately, Goldeneye outspeeds and Knocks them Out with one Water Pledge. His next is Silicobra, so I keep Goldeneye in. Water Pledge deals with them easily.

His final Pokemon is a Toxel, so I switch to Dig Dug. Since I'm straight up Immune to both of Toxel's typings, I set up with a Hone Claws. Toxel's flail deals a single point of damage. High Horsepower takes care of Toxel.

Once Goldeneye hit Level 35, he started glowing. It's time for him to be on par with the rest of my team. My starter, reaching his final form.

Congratulations! Your Goldeneye evolved into Inteleon!

I also taught him his signature move: Snipe Shot.

Hop's strategy goes down the drain when his head is full of bad thoughts, he admits. He tried switching pokemon to have a possible advantage in any matchup, but they still couldn't get it together. He thinks that's why he's still so weak. However, Leon is a great trainer. Hop doesn't want people to be laughing at him all because he, his little brother, is a bad battler. So Hop's gonna try hard, harder, and harder until no one is laughing. Hop sets off to find Pokemon that he can really draw the strength out of.

Opal suddenly appears next to me, talking about Hop and how gym challengers should battle for their Pokemon's sake. She gave me Allister's League Card and rushed me to the gym.

Once I was inside, I changed into my League Uniform and asked the Gym Trainer at the front to let me challenge the gym. I also switched around my team a little and Vee is in front and gave her the Black Glasses.

The League Worker at the start of every mission explained this one: ride one of the spinning cups and make my way to the Goal while trying to avoid the obstacles. I have to rotate the wheel in the center to go left and right.

The first Cup wasn't too hard. A few obstacles, a few bumps, but overall not too bad. Before I could make it to the second cup, I had to fight a gym trainer.

His first Pokemon was a Pumpkaboo, which was an easy KO for Vee. Next up was a Phantump, another KO for Vee. Finally, another Pumpkaboo, but bigger in size. Another free KO.

The next obstacle course introduced some pushing hands, adding some extra challenge. Still, I beat it easily. Getting Dizzy due to all the spinning, though.

Another Gym Trainer challenged me. She sent out a Corsola, but this one was different from the ones I've seen in Alola. Vee used Bite, dealing Super Effective Damage, but Corsola Disabled it. I decided to use Fire Fang to finish them off.

I switched Vee with Child Safe. Ghost v Ghost is a Double-Edged Sword, but I'm feeling confident.

Third Obstacle Course. There were a lot more of those hands, and the end part was just a bunch of them pushing me in a circle. Also, one last Gym Trainer.

He sent out Haunter, which I know is a strong attacker. I decided to stay in with Child Safe and used Shadow Ball. Child Safe outspeeds and Kocks them out without suffering any damage. Next up was an opposing Drifblim. Child Safe used Shadow Ball, lowering the opponent's Special Defense, and the opponent's Drifblim used Stockpile. One last Shadow Ball took them out.

Now, I made it to the end of the gym mission. I walk up the stairs and through the door. If this goes successfully, this shall be my fourth Gym Badge. I take a breath, adjust my team order, and head out into the field.

I saw Allister in the center of the field. Once I got there, he introduced himself. He seems nervous, but we both go to our side, ready to battle.

You are challenged by Gym Leader Allister!

I decide to make Goldeneye's battling debut as an Inteleon by sending him out first. Allister sends out a Yamask. Goldeneye takes aim and uses Snipe Shot on Yamask. It's a critical hit, shattering the rune that Yamask holds and knocks him out.

His next Pokemon is a very threatening one: Mimikyu. I decide to send out my own threat, Dig Dug. To make sure I can land my 95% accurate moves, I use Hone Claws. But first, Mimikyu uses Baby Doll Eyes, attempting to lower my attack. The interaction ended up resulting in my only having a +1 accuracy boost. Next turn, Mimikyu uses their own Hone Claws while I hit them with Metal Claw, breaking their Disguise. Mimikyu uses Shadow Sneak, dealing decent damage. Dig Dug than Knocks them out with one more Metal Claw.

Allister's third pokemon was one I haven't heard of before: Cursola. It looks like an evolved Corsola. I decided to send out Vee to handel them. Vee used Bite and Knocked them Out in one hit. Cursola is probably strong, but frail.

Allister sends out his final Pokemon, Gengar, so I send out my strongest from the Isle of Armor: Striker. We both decide, it's our final pokemon. It's time to go big. I Dynamax striker and he Gigantamaxes Gengar, muttering to himself to "Swallow everything in Darkness." So I decide to use his words against him and have Striker use Max Darkness, knocking out Gengar.

Allister almost lost his mask due to the shock and the explosion. He walks up to me and gives me the Ghost Badge. We shake hands. Man, this kid either is very shy or very direct. Either way, he doesn't talk much. He wishes me luck on everything, and we part ways. The Gym Trainer at the entrance also gives me TM 77: Hex and a Ghost Gym Uniform an rewards for beating the gym. Man, I'm rolling through these. The gym challenge is actually pretty fun.

My #1 post of 2022

Start of a new adventure/Enter: Goldeneye

After my Alolan Adventures, I decided it's time to take a trip to a new location: the region if Galar. (Due to international flight laws, I couldn't take any of my Pokemon with me. I left Head Honcho the Murkrow and Bwark the Primarina in charge of the Poke Pelago and Professor Kukui in charge of the League. He's actually a strong battler, so I feel like it's safe in his hands) On the flight there, I decided to watch a promotional vide of the region, made by a person named Chairman Rose. He went on and on about how the Pokemon of the region helped form the world around them, which is nice. I also watched the exhibition match between the region's undefeated champion, Leon, and another trainer named Raihan. That's when I first saw this region's special gimmick: The Dynamax Phenomenon.

Once we landed in Galar, my mother and I looked for a vacant house to stay in. There was one available in a small town name Postwick, so we decided to stay there. The day after we moved in and set up some furniture we took with me, I heard knocking at the door. Mom answered it, and it was the next-door neighbor's kid, named Hop. As it turns out, Hop is the younger brother of the champion! How cool is that! It turns out that Leon was visiting Postwick soon, and since I'm the champion of Alola, he wants me to meet him. I grabbed my bag and a hat I bought from a nearby store yesterday and got ready to meet him.

Once I made it outside, I took a look around me. Postwick is actually pretty lovely to be in, even with the nearby forest that I occasionally hear howling from actually it's no longer as lovely now. Aaaaaand there's a small sheep Pokemon trying to burst into the woods by breaking down the gate. Great...

Hop noticed the little sheep and told me its name: Wooloo. Even though they're a little dumb, they're very cute. Also the nearby woods are called the Slumbering Weald.

Since Leon isn't coming in till later, we decided to hang out at his house for a bit. I met Hop and Leon's mom, and she was very nice to me.

A while later, we got news that Leon arrived in the nearby town of Wedgehurst. Turns out Leon has a terrible sense of direction, so Hop's mom told us to go to Wedgehurst to escort him back here. Hop's mom will prepare a barbecue for us while we're gone. With food on the line, I immediately go with Hop.

I'm honestly a bit scared to go through Route 1 since I don't have my own Pokemon at the moment. I remember getting attacked by a Yungoos back in Alola when I also didn't have my own Pokemon. Fortunately, there was a straight path from here to Wedgehurst that didn't have any grass to cross, so it was 100% safe.

Once we arrived in Wedgehurst, there was a crowd surrounding the train station. It was no surprise why, everyone wanted to see Leon in person. He also had his ace Pokemon out, his Charizard. He was having a good time talking with the locals :)

After watching for a bit, we decides it's time to take him home. Hop called out to Leon and he spotted us. They were having a sibling moment when they got close. After that, he spotted me and instantly recognized me. Apparently, he's heard a lot about me, such as how I'm the Champion of Alola and how I saved Alola from the attack of other worldly Pokemon.

After the introductions, Hop bet that he could make it back to his house before us and immediately bolted. Leon made a small comment on how Hop always tries to be the best and how with a proper rival, he could become something truly special. With that, he bid farewell to the people of Wedgehurst and we both ran back home.

Once we arrived, Leon told Hop that he had a present for us: our own Starter Pokemon. With that, he sent out 3 Pokemon: The Grass-Type Pokemon Grooky, The Fire-Type Pokemon Scorbunny, and the Water-Type Pokemon Sobble. Once they were out, they roamed around in Hop's backyard and interacted with each other. During their interaction, I completely fell in live with Sobble. Once Leon told us to pick one, Hop let me pick first since he already had his own Wooloo. I immediately went for Sobble and chose my nickname for him: Goldeneye.

After that, Hop chose Scorbunny as his partner Pokemon. Grooky was standing there all on his own after that, so Leon decided to take him under his (figurative) and Charizard's (literal) wing. So now, everyone has a Pokemon! After we all got a new Pokemon, both Hop and Leon's mom and my mom called us to eat. We had Kebabs. It was nice.

The next day, we met up in Hop's yard again. We talked about how we bonded with our Pokemon and how with enough training, we might even be able to rival Leon. After a little bit, Hop decided to declare me his first Rival! With that, we decided to have our first battle together.

Once we started our battle, I realized immediately that I'm at a disadvantage: Hop has 2 Pokemon, I have 1. I sent out Goldeneye and he lead with his Wooloo. His Wooloo is level 3 while Goldeneye is Level 5, so at least i have the immediate level advantage. After trading Pounds and Tackles (as well as using growl at the start), Goldeneye was victorious, but at half hp. Fortunately, Wooloo was enough Exp to level up to Level 6. At that level, Goldeneye learned Water Gun.

After Wooloo came Scorbunny, but Goldeneye took him out in 2 swift Water Guns, only suffering a single Tackle. With Scorbunny's defeat, Goldeneye made it to Level 7. I was victor in our first ever battle. After our match, Hop awarded me with 400 PokeDollers.

Leon congratulated us on our first ever battle and healed both of our Pokemon back to full. He even formally asked me to be Hop's Rival, so how could I turn him down. Then they both started talking about letting Hop into the Gym Challenge. But before we can join the Gym Challenge, we need a Pokedex. There's a professor in Wedgehurst that can give us our Pokedex, so we should head there soon. I was about to go home to tell my mom, but Hop and I heard a loud crash. As it turns out, the Wooloo from yesterday made it through the gates and into the Slumbering Wield. Even if the area is prohibited from entering, there's no way we're letting that poor Wooloo get hurt. We both run in after it.

When we entered, a heavy fog set in, making it hard to see forward. As we went in deeper, I encountered a few Pokemon I haven't seen before, such as a little Squirrel Pokemon named Skwovet and a small bird Pokemon named Rookidee. While walking through the Forest, we heard ominous howling every so often. The deeper we went, the heavier the fog. It got to the point that i could barely see my own hand in front of my face. When we were pretty deep into the woods, we were face-to-face with an unknown Pokemon. It let out a loud howl and forced us to fight it.

I sent out Goldeneye to fight it and Hop sent out Scorbunny. We both lead with Growl...but it had no effect?! The Pokemon stared right at us... I followed up with Pound and Scorbunny tried using Tackle, but both moves just went right through it! Suddenly, the fog got incredibly heavy, making it harder to see. I told Goldeneye to use Water Gun and could barely hear Hop tell Scorbunny to use Ember. I heard both moves be used, but I'm guessing nothing happened. The fog got incredibly thick soon after, and...it's hard to remember what happened next. All I remember next is feeling something hard hitting me on the head and losing consciousness.

Eventually, I woke up next to Hop on the floor. It turns out we both passed out. Soon after waking up, we head Leon call out for both of us and running towards us. While we were discussing what happened, the Wooloo we were looking for approached us. I was relieved, but Leon gave us an earful for running off. But he does understand why, and even complimented us on our bravery and courage, so there was no consequences. He's just glad we're (mostly) okay. We immediately left with the Wooloo in hand. I decided to head home and tell my mom that I'm off to start another adventure.

If the encounter in the Woods is anything to go off of, I can tell this will be one wild adventure.

We’re The Winners Here! 1st Years vs 2nd Years Idol Battle || Part 1

Part 1 : Prologue

[Next]

Yoichi: It seems like everyone’s here. Let’s get on with today’s meeting. Touya: And of course we’ll be addressing our blog, won’t we? Aoi: You mean how Touya-san’s popularity has completely exploded!? Kaito: Again? Aoi: Not just “again”. ‘Til Touya-san’s name’s up in lights like those folks in Hollywood I have a good feeling he’ll keep getting more and more popular. Toma: Seems more like you’re already being blinded to me. Aoi: No one can outmatch Touya-san in the talent department! Toma: Ahaha~ ♪ No matter what you say, he’s still not deserving of my praise Yoichi: ...Ahem! If you’re done we can finally get to the topic at hand. Manager, if you would. Player Character: Yes!

Recently we’ve been getting a ton of comments from our fans that drop by the blog that go something like, “I want to see stirRhythm in even more situations!” So I’ve been working with Yoichi-san to figure out what type of content we should try uploading. Kureha: You mean things outside of our live shows and practice? PC: Exactly! It’s fun watching all of you practice your moves, but we were thinking of maybe putting up some content of you guys planning something. Touya: I see, I see. It’s foolish to keep updating our blog with the same content day in and day out; our followers will grow bored of us. We need to shake things up, yes? Kazuyuki: So then why don’t we think of a theme to work towards? PC: Thanks so much! I should apologize, though... I really tried to think of something on my own, but I couldn’t come up with anything worth sharing... Kazuyuki: I mean, it has to do with us, doesn’t it? It’s only natural that w e should come up with something together. So please don’t apologize, okay? I know we’ll come up with something way more fun if we all put our heads together. Kureha: Yeah, totally! A live broadcast! I want to do a live broadcast! Wouldn’t it be sweet if anyone anywhere could watch our shows?! Touya: Wouldn’t it make more sense to be doing shows regularly first? In any case, I thought the blog was there for the people that couldn’t make the shows in the first place. Aoi: I feel the same as Touya-san! Why wouldja put it on the blog when we want them to have fun at the real thing? Kazuyuki: U-umm... Maybe... we shouldn’t look for a substitute for the live shows. There are already recordings of PlayStar online... Yuuhi: ....What about something like a survey. I do those sometimes. Something like “What kind of pictures do you want to see on the blog?”... Toma: A simple survey, huh... Like a popularity poll? Kaito: Doesn’t... something like that come with its own problems? There’s a clear advantage to those who have been doing this longer. Subaru: Like Yoichi-kun, riiiiight? Or people who have a good social media presence like Touya-kun. For people like that, they have the clear advantage of publicity. Yuuhi: I... don’t feel so great about this. As far as popularity goes... I’m pretty sure I’d be on the bottom. Kazuyuki: Same here... I am kind of interested to know who the most popular member is, but I don’t really want to know who’s the least.... Aoi: You serious? Neither of ya have any confidence! Well, I already know Touya-san’s gonna be number one even without the poll, so I don’t care if I’m not. Touya: Mhmm. Besides, this is for our fans. We want to make them excited, thrill them when they see us doing things together. Kaito: If they’re choosing the pictures... wouldn’t it be better to do something more lax? PC: A survey that’s lax.... while also exciting everyone... How about we do a game? Yoichi: Hm, yes. We’d be able to have our fun, but not worry about people getting hurt upon seeing the results. Subaru: If there’s gonna be a winner or loser... A while baaaack I saw this show where some guys were put in casual clothes-- Kureha: Oh! I saw that! They had some famous people go out in regular clothes and judge who was the most fashionable. Toma: That sounds fun! I wanna do tha~t! Aoi: But that’s Toma’s strong suit! Wait. No, it doesn’t matter. I’m real sure that Touya-san’s got the number one spot there too. I’m sure of it! Touya: Heh, I am the embodiment of good taste! At last you will gaze upon me... and I shall rejoice in “The Downfall of Toma” Toma: Oh, I’m not worried, Touya-san. There’s no way I’ll lose to you. ♪ Not when you go you looking like-- PC: A-ANYWAY! This sounds great, right? With Toma-kun designing the outfits, we just need to fiture out who the judges will be... Toma: Isn’t that obvious, Manager ♪ I’ll judge! It’ll be a breeze for me to pick apart whatever’s bad, and point out whatever’s good! Yoichi: I think judging their outfits will be interesting, but... I also want aspects more related to idol-like things Yuuhi: What do you mean by “idol-like things”? The power of an idol... isn’t something that’s so easy to define... Touya: Worry not! We’ll define it how we see fit! Kazuyuki: How far should we go with “idol-like” do you think?” Touya: Oh my, how about this. While we are being judged, what if the fans decide which of us has the most overwhelming idol power? Kureha: That sounds fun! So much better than knowing each person’s popularity individually. Subaru: Weeeeeeeell, as long as the rules of this lil’ contest are clearly defined it’ll probably lessen the shock of the popularity reults, dontcha think? Toma: The casual clothes should do that too. Once we decide on the theme, things will really start getting interesting ♪ And now about those idolish things... Aoi: Fanservice! Kureha: A live show! Yoichi: So then we’ll have three judging categories: their casual look, fanservice, and a live. Kazuyuki: Are we all competing against each other? I... I don’t think I can stack up... Subaru: Hooow ‘boooout we compete in teams. So while we’re waging battle against each other, the final showdown can happen in the personal style category. Toma: Then let’s have the first years go up against the second years. Are you third years fine with that? Yoichi: I have no problems with it. Then we’ll end the meeting here for now. Manager, do we have your help? PC: Leave it to me! Touya: Alright. Aoi, Yuuhi, let’s give this our all! Kureha: Kaito, Kazuyuki, let’s rock this! We’re absolutely not going to lose to you, Touya-senpai! Touya: Oh HO! We also have no plans on losing to you. Let’s get to work!

How to Grow Your Audience From Zero to Millions in Less Than 5 Years

You’ve just been hired. Your boss comes to you and says, “We want millions of people regularly viewing our content within the next five years. Go.”

You make it happen.

Riiiiight.

Well, Jay Lauf, co-president and publisher of Quartz, made this happen with his team. He told the story of how they did it in his Content Marketing World talk, Deconstructing Quartz (QZ.com): How One of the Most Popular Mobile Destinations Grows Audience, Extends Reach in Digital, and Creates a Superior Content Experience.

If your brand is trying to build an audience for your content, you can learn from the Quartz team’s experience. Think of your content team as a media company within your company.

What is Quartz?

A news company owned by Atlantic Media, Quartz launched in September 2012 with the website qz.com. The founding team members came from news organizations, including Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and The New York Times. These folks create content people want.

Also contributing to Quartz’s audience-building success:

The company continually grows its content team – 150 journalists on five continents.

The content is all digital.

The content is designed first for tablets and phones.

After establishing a following on its website, Quartz added ways to distribute its stories: an email newsletter, an app, and social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube).

The content lends itself to aggregation by news platforms, such as Apple News, Flipboard, and Google Newsstand thanks to the versatility and insight of the reporting as well as the design of Quartz’s products.

The content includes several video series.

Rapid growth

While it’s impossible to pinpoint the number of people who regularly consume Quartz news via all these channels, Jay estimates the company accrued 100 million regular viewers in its first four and a half years.

To give you a sense of the magnitude of that reach, here are some metrics as of January 2018 – five and a half years after the company got its start:

20 million visitors to qz.com

700,000 subscribers to the Quartz newsletters

800,000 downloads since February 2016 app launch

5 million readers through news aggregation platforms

3 million followers on social media

155 million unique people watching Quartz videos on Facebook

More important than how many people they reach is whom they reach, Jay says. The audience is business decision-makers. “We’re at parity with all the bellwethers – The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Economist, Bloomberg, Fortune, Forbes – but with a younger audience: median age around 40 and majority female. We’re attracting the right kind of audience for what we’re trying to do both journalistically and as a business.”

To what does Jay attribute this kind of success? What did Quartz do that the rest of us might want to copy?

For starters, it tells stories that people “freaking love,” as expressed in comments like this tweet (raving about how the random motions of a lava lamp can be used to encrypt digital data and other things you never realized you wanted to know about lava lamps):

How many exclamation-point-packed tweets does your content get?

How many exclamation-point-packed tweets does your #content get? @MarciaRJohnston Click To Tweet

There’s so much to say about the quality of Quartz content that I’m working on another post on that topic alone – stay tuned!

Meanwhile, here are some other tips from Jay, which the rest of this post details:

Design with your audience in mind.

Find your sweet spots for content length.

Use third-party platforms to your advantage (but don’t depend on them).

Make big decisions with your gut, small decisions with data.

HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: 4 Ways to Shift Your Thinking to Truly Focus on Your Audience

Design with your audience in mind

Since Quartz researchers found that executives throughout the world (its audience) consume news more on phones than on desktops, Quartz designs for mobile devices first and desktop second. “These are deeply intimate devices on which people are now consuming content, so there’s a great opportunity to engage them,” Jay says.

Design for #mobile devices first and desktop second, says @jlauf of @qz. Click To Tweet

Because Quartz launched in “the age of acceleration,” Jay says, quoting Thomas Friedman, it owes some of its success to being “unshackled” from a lot of the considerations traditional publishers have had. “A lot of publishers have to wrestle with how to port their print content into a digital environment, never mind trying to figure out how to take the desktop expression of what you’ve done and fit that into a mobile environment. We had the luxury of starting from scratch,” Jay says.

He goes on to say that mobile is “scary to a lot of people because (they) don’t know how to port what we’ve been doing on other platforms into this smaller, more intimate screen.” Still, he says, the opportunity – if we embrace it and think deeply with the human element – is tremendous.

HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: Is Your Content Ready for the Mobile Takeover?

Find your sweet spots for content length

For Quartz readers, content needs to be either long or short – a classic smile curve. On the y-axis is traffic or impact, such as the number of people who have read a piece, tweeted it, or otherwise indicated that they found it engaging. On the x-axis is the length of the piece.

Quartz publishes content on either side of that curve – “not in that middle trough” like the 500- to 800-word articles that news operations have cranked out as the common unit of production for over a century and that often die on the social web.

Go long or short - avoid medium length #content, says @jlauf of @qz. Click To Tweet

Average-length content typically does nothing distinctive. As Jay says, “It is not rewarded with the thing we’re all after with content marketing, which is word-of-mouth writ large, the attempt to share and engage with that content in a meaningful way.”

Quartz goes left or right on the curve. “That’s where the content sings,” Jay says.

On the left side of the curve (short length), Jay says, “you skip the throat-clearing and paragraphs of setup and all that nonsense.” You use images – for example, infographics – to convey a lot of information quickly. “Get in and get out. Make somebody smart quickly. They’ll reward you for that. They’ll share that.”

On the right side of the curve (long form), content is the most likely shared by the executive audience, Jay says. “Charts and data are number two, but, by a wide margin, our readers value – and share – long-form pieces that give them deep insight into something while also telling a narrative story. These people read 10,000-word New Yorker stories on their phones.”

Long form #content is most likely shared by the executive audience, says @jlauf of @qz. Click To Tweet

HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: 6 Mistakes Ruining Your Charts and Infographics

Naturally, in-depth pieces take time to develop. If a writer sends Quartz an 800-word piece, the editors may kick it back and say, ‘Why don’t you spend another couple of weeks – or months – on this piece and say something definitive?”

When’s the last time your company insisted that a writer spend another couple of months on a piece of content?

Of course, your audiences’ sweet spots for content length may not line up with the sweet spots for Quartz readers. Sow your research and see what you discover.

Use third-party platforms to your advantage (but don’t depend on them)

Quartz has learned to go where its audience is.

Zach Seward, one of the co-founders of Quartz, early on thought about Quartz as an API (application programming interface). “Quartz can go anywhere our readers are, in whatever form is appropriate,” he says.

In fact, news stories are blobs of content that can live on any platform – wherever the target readers can be found. “We’re not precious about trying to pull you back to qz.com,” Jay says. “We’ve embraced from the beginning that our users are going to be out there in the ecosystem and in the world, so we go out and try to be in those places.”

In the beginning, out of necessity, Quartz launched with a website, qz.com, and a daily newsletter. Today the product portfolio looks like this:

Today, Quartz has many elements in its network:

Atlas, a platform for building and sharing charts

Regional editions in India and Africa

Email newsletters

Quartz app

Amazon Echo (so people can use Quartz as a morning news briefing with Alexa)

Other platforms, such as Flipboard, Apple News, Pocket

While Jay understands that some marketers feel a need to keep people on their owned channels, these other channels can serve as on-ramps to the brand. “Millions of people are on those platforms, so I encourage you – in whatever capacity fits your business – to think beyond your owned channels. I know that’s hard sometimes when you’ve got people you’re answering to who are fixated on that. But try to get them comfortable with the fact that marketers need to go with where the readers are.”

Think beyond your owned channels - marketers need to go where the readers are, says @jlauf of @qz. Click To Tweet

For example, in 2016 Quartz published a series of videos to Facebook, doubling the number of Facebook followers and driving people to qz.com.

Jay’s takeaway: Use third-party platforms to your advantage, “but don’t overoptimize and become dependent on a single one.”

HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: 4 Unconventional Ways to Promote Blog Content on Social Media

Make big decisions with your gut, small decisions with data

“Quartz” has become an adjective or a verb. People have said to Jay, “OK, I want to Quartzify this” or “That’s very Quartzy.” The Quartz tone, design approach, subject matter, and story angles are that distinctive.

How did it achieve this distinctiveness? “We make big decisions with our gut,” Jay says, “and little decisions with data.”

People on the content team use their intuition to create stories they think their audience will find engaging, interesting, and unique. “We’re writing for humans,” says Co-President and Editor-in-Chief Kevin Delaney. “If all you’re doing is optimizing for algorithms and robots, you lose the magic.”

If all you're doing is optimizing #content for algorithms & robots, you lose the magic. @delaney @qz. Click To Tweet

Intuition also inspired the company to launch the app last year that does something that other news apps weren’t doing: It makes news stories literally engaging. You must interact with the interface to get from one story to the next. The stories float up from the bottom of the screen in chat-style bubbles sprinkled with gifs, emojis, and quizzes.

Here’s a screenshot I took while writing this post:

Which blue button would you click here: Next? Or the banana button?

Seriously. A banana button. In a news app. News = grimness. Bananas = things people slip on in cartoons.

“All of that was intuition,” Jay says. “We didn’t grind the science on that.”

But the Quartz team doesn’t go by gut alone. After it published the app, the team “got really interested in the data,” Jay says. “Were people downloading it? What were the interaction rates like? What were the open rates like? Were people spending time with it? All of that reinforced that, yeah, wow, we’ve created something special.”

Conclusion

What would your boss say if you grew your audience by millions of people in the next five years? You could do worse than mimic what worked for the news team at Quartz:

Design with your audience in mind.

Find your sweet spots for content length.

Use third-party platforms to your advantage.

Make big decisions with your gut, small decisions with data.

Has your team done some of these things? What has worked for you?

Allow Me to Introduce Myself!!!

My name is De’Shane D. Frye don’t ask what the “D” stands for, just know it’s nothing vulgar. I’m sort of new to tumblr, but not exactly. You see, I already had one, two, okay three of them, but let’s face it, none of them was my voice. I guess you could say that they were “practice” of some sort. With that being said, I’ve sort of embarked on a new campaign,that should hopefully get me to where I want to be here on tumblr (by the way this going to be the only blog where I tell you all about myself.)

Let’s start from the bottom, I hail from New Orleans, LA, but I attend College at a JUCO (Junior college) in the suburbs of Jackson, MS. The School I attend is Hinds Community College in Raymond, MS. This school is a cesspool of ignorance, drama, idiocy, and horny motherfuckers looking for their next nut. Yes, I cuss, obviously. Seriously though, it’s not the school that sucks, but the morons that attend it. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t have a fucking laugh at these buffoons. Now, let’s look at this positively; I’m currently employed by the school’s PR (Public Relations) department. A “student worker” is the title; basically they give minimum wage to students to do the jobs that they don’t want to do. All that aside, I really could use the extra money.

I started attending this college in the Spring of 2016, and average a 3.2 GPA. That may sound easy considering the fact that this is Jr. College, on the contrary, this shit is fucking hard as hell. I believe, as a matter fact, I know that I’m doing A+ work, yet these bitches giving me B’s and shit. Take to-fucking-day for example; I’m a mass communication major, so it’s befitting that I take a mass comm course. My stupid-retarded-ass forgot my binder in my dorm room, so the teacher gave me 0. I don’t know how they do shit elsewhere, but here if you forget this lady’s portfolio, that’s a whole 20 point and half a quiz grade you’re fucking with. I was ever so pissed-off, not at the teacher but at my damn self; like “how the fuck did I do something that stupid?” Then my friend “Que” is trying to tell me “every thing is okay”, that everything is fine it’s still early. Okay, first of all nigga, you and everybody else had y'all shit straight. Secondly, my nigga, don’t say shit like that to a person if it’s easy to say. What I mean by that is, if you straight, and don’t understand what the fuck a nigga going through, that shit tacky as fuck, yo. Despite that dumb ass bullshit, I think today went kind of well, I guess.

Now let’s talk about these hoes around here. Most of these bitches want the same thing, A NIGGA THAT’S ALREADY FUCKING HALF OF JACKSON!!! I’m currently in a relationship, but my girl and I have this understanding that we could still have friends of the opposite sex as long as we friend zone those motherfuckers. However, there are two girls I keep fantasizing about (my girlfriend is bisexual by the way, but I’m dicking her the fuck down.) One is in the barbering program, and the other works in the school library. The barber is sooooooooo fine y’all on God she is, and the librarian has some sex appeal, but quite honestly she ain’t all that. She’s the type of girl that you get with because she safe, and the pussy might be good, but you don’t fuck with her strictly for looks, cause she a 5 in the face. Anyway, readers, the barber has a boyfriend, but I personally think he fucking her over, and I really care about her, but let’s face it she loves this nigga, I mean, loooooves this nigga. So the other night it was her birthday or whatever and all of her so-calls stood her up, and her boyfriend was “at work.” (Riiiiight) So she text me or whatever and told me to come outside, and I complied. I instantly knew she had been drinking, only she wasn’t drinking but eating pineapples. Amsterdam soaked pineapples (yyeeaahh). The night got old quick, so she went to grinding on me an shit and twerking and shit, I think I nutted in my pants a little. The part when she bent over and started wobbling, I felt wet pussy, so I probably could’ve fucked, but I’m not a cheater so I resisted (tears of anguish.) So I walked her back to her dorm made sure she was straight or whatever, then I see a video. Y’all do the math readers.

Now on to the library girl. All her friends fine as fuck especially the little chocolate one. However, that chocolate one screams HO, HO, HO, HO, HO GOOD PUSSY BUT HO, HO, HO, HO, HO!!!! She’s the only one that isn’t ho-ish which is why I say she safe sort of. I think she got mad at me when I hooked up with my girlfriend, but that’s her problem. If she wanted some dick all she had to do was ask. But anyway to wrap this up, she is ok. She’s a damn good friend but at times I do want more, knowing I can’t have it, which makes everything awkward as fuck.

Well this was fun readers, but this tumblr is going to feature my photography, some blogs of wisdom, funny shit, I’m going to cuss but I’m going to keep it clean, No Porn (Even though I’m going to follow some freaks on this bitch.) This is Me @shanethekidd man. You guys are going to see how intelligent I am, if you need me don’t be afraid to hit my messages, I do not bite because that shit hurts. I’m going to be reviewing things like TV Shows, Events, Award Shows (Starting Monday with the Grammy’s), Wrestling and other sporting events. So Follow and Check me out....Thanks guys 1 luv!!!!

#newpost #follow #college #jrcollege awkward funny
