yknow, a lot of people say that they wish SJM had just invented a new character to be Rhys' love interest for the Acotar sequel or paired him off with Nesta or something, but I actually think she shouldve gone further and just made Feyre get with a different high lord every book. Just imagine:
ACOTAR 1: Feyre/Tamlin, Feyre recovers from her childhood trauma but then oopsie, UTM happens and now shes got a bunch of new trauma oh noooooo
ACOTAR 2: Feyre/Rhysand, Feyre recovers from her UTM and also learns about feminism and how to fight good, I would prefer if instead of ignoring the part Rhysand played in her trauma like in canon, they actually leaned into it and made it so that Feyre reconciling with Rhysand and even falling for him was somehow symbolic for her reconciling with her UTM trauma
ACOTAR 3: Feyre/Tarquin, Feyre learns how to politics and maybe she learns about the injustices that the common faeries have to deal with as well, maybe there couldve been some seeds planted for this in ACOTAR 2 with the illyrians but she was too busy wth her trauma to deal with it at that point, but now shes ready
ACOTAR 4: Feyre/Eris, Feyre helps Eris with his political machinations culminating with her helping him kill his dad and become high lord, and its kind of a foil to the previous book where Feyre was doing like normal politics with a good guy but now shes doing fucked up and evil politics with a morally gray guy. Also, i havent met Eris yet but I do know that hes racist in canon so maybe we could have a subplot where Feyre helps him with that idk. helps him get over his racism i mean, not helps him to be more racist
I dont know enough about the other guys yet to come up with potential plots for their books, but in my perfect world they would all definitely get one
The final book would be Feyre getting together with one of the super powerful non-court fae like one of those freaks who lives in the middle like the weaver or something, except it has to be one of the male freaks because its a SJM book and we cant have a queer MC. So I guess that limits our selection to Koschei maybe? I actually dont know anything about that guy other than he exists, is he hot? cuz if hes not hot then we can strike him out imo. Then theres that demon-god that sent Nesta a horny vision in ACOSF I think his name was Lanthys, and I know for a fact that hes conventionally attractive so thats our first candidate. I actually quite like the idea of Feyre getting with Suriel and the way that would work is that it would be this reoccurring character that appears atleast once in each book when Feyre needs some information and she goes to catch it, and at the start of this last book shes just broken up with her latest high lord and shes like "that suriel has helped me so many times, I should do something kind for it" so she does that and theres this very fairytale-esque moment where it turns out this is the first time someone showed it a genuine act of selfless kindness to the suriel, and that causes it to transform into a really hot guy. And then Feyre and the Suriel start their grand romance
Also, I just realized if we wanted to keep with the theme of Feyre falling in love with a powerful fae* from a specific court, the capital p Prison island is described as almost being like its own court, so maybe Feyre could get with the Bone Carver which would be great because he can transform into like, the hottest of hot guys if he wanted to
So yeah, thats my pitch for an alternate ACOTAR Series. Would it be good? No. Would it be fun? Yeah, I think so. Certainly more fun than the series we currently have where we mostly just hang out in the same boring city with the same annoying guys
*the bone carver isnt a fae but you get what i mean

When Your Social Media Marketing Agency Isn’t Delivering: What’s Going Wrong and How to Fix It
If your social media marketing agency has been ticking all the boxes—daily posts, colorful graphics, timely replies—but your engagement and ROI still look stagnant, you're not alone. Plenty of businesses are paying for activity, not results. So let’s get real: what’s going wrong behind the scenes, and what can you do about it?
In this post, we’ll break down the key missteps social media marketing agencies make (and often hide), the gaps that lead to missed opportunities, and how to turn things around with strategies that work in today’s algorithmic chaos.
You’ll walk away knowing:
• Why content calendars are NOT strategy
• How to identify whether your agency understands your business goals
• Which metrics actually matter
• How to build accountability into your agency relationship
• Trends and tools that modern social media marketing agencies should be using now
Let’s dive into what separates a pretty feed from a performance machine.
1. Mistaking Activity for Strategy: The Illusion of Progress
Many businesses think, "Our social media marketing agency posts every day, so we're doing well." But social media isn’t a checklist. It's a strategic touchpoint in your customer journey.
What Goes Wrong:
• Agencies over-focus on aesthetics and posting frequency rather than the impact of those posts.
• No alignment between content themes and business goals.
• Strategy is often a one-time document, never updated based on performance.
Action Steps:
• Ask your agency for a quarterly strategic roadmap, not just a calendar.
• Ensure your content pillars tie back to conversion funnels, not just awareness.
• Request insights on post performance based on conversions, not likes.
Real-World Example: A SaaS client we worked with saw a 70% increase in demo bookings by shifting from product promo posts to customer success storytelling across LinkedIn and Twitter.
2. One-Size-Fits-All Doesn’t Work Anymore
A common pitfall with many social media marketing agencies is the copy-paste approach. They recycle templates across clients, industries, and platforms. The result? Your brand feels generic.
What Goes Wrong:
• Content lacks personality or a distinct tone-of-voice.
• No differentiation in strategy across platforms (posting the same thing on Instagram and LinkedIn? Yikes.)
• Static captions that don’t trigger engagement.
Action Steps:
• Audit your own profiles: Do they reflect your brand personality and voice?
• Push for platform-specific strategies tailored to audience behavior.
• Insist on original content built from your brand’s unique positioning.
Real-World Example: An e-commerce fashion brand tripled its IG engagement in 3 months by switching to meme-based product storytelling, while using LinkedIn for sustainable fashion insights to target buyers and partners.
3. Obsessing Over Vanity Metrics
Follower count is not a business goal. Neither is viral reach. Yet many social media marketing agencies report these numbers to prove their “worth.” The question is: Are they delivering leads? Are they nurturing your community?
What Goes Wrong:
• Monthly reports focused on reach, likes, and impressions.
• No attribution model to show how content supports your sales journey.
• A disconnect between marketing and sales teams.
Action Steps:
• Define 3-4 core KPIs tied to business goals: e.g., leads, sign-ups, conversions.
• Set up UTM tracking, conversion pixels, and CRM integrations.
• Ask for monthly strategy calls to assess what's working and what's not.
Real-World Example: A fitness app brand was tracking ‘shares’ as a key metric. Once they switched to measuring app downloads per post, they cut content volume in half and saw a 2X increase in ROI.
4. Inconsistent Messaging: The Brand Identity Gap
You want your audience to recognize your voice instantly. But that can’t happen if your messaging is all over the place. A top-tier social media marketing agency should build a content ecosystem that speaks in your brand’s language.
What Goes Wrong:
• Tone and language vary wildly across posts.
• No documented brand voice guidelines.
• Inconsistent storytelling across touchpoints (bio, posts, reels, ads).
Action Steps:
• Collaborate with your agency to create a brand voice bible.
• Conduct quarterly audits to ensure messaging consistency.
• Use social listening tools to see how your audience perceives your tone.
Real-World Example: A B2B services agency revamped its content voice to be more empathetic and solutions-oriented. The result? 4x more DMs and qualified inbound leads via social.
5. Ignoring Trends, Tools, and Algorithms
Social platforms evolve monthly. What worked last quarter might flop today. If your social media marketing agency isn’t on top of updates, you’re already behind.
What Goes Wrong:
• Static strategies based on outdated best practices.
• Lack of testing on new features (Reels, Threads, LinkedIn newsletters, etc).
• No use of AI tools or automation for optimization.
Action Steps:
• Request monthly trend reports from your agency.
• Experiment with emerging formats and tools (e.g., TikTok Spark Ads, Meta Advantage+).
• Track algorithm shifts and adjust posting strategy accordingly.
Real-World Example: A fintech brand saw Reels outperform all other formats by 400% in reach. Their agency quickly shifted focus and doubled down on short-form video, resulting in a 25% increase in email subscribers.
Conclusion: Is Your Social Media Marketing Agency Future-Proof?
Not all agencies are created equal. Some churn content; others drive strategy. If your current agency isn’t proactively helping you align content with conversion, experiment with formats, or deliver real ROI—it’s time to reconsider the relationship.
Key Takeaways:
• Strategy beats volume—every time.
• Vanity metrics won't grow your business.
• Your brand voice needs to show up consistently.
• Stay agile, experiment often, and demand data-backed decisions.
Next Step: Audit your current agency's output using the five filters above. If they fall short, start asking better questions. Or better yet, partner with an agency that delivers business growth—not just pretty posts.

TMT Saria Manufacturing Process Explained
Understanding how TMT Saria is made isn’t just for engineers—it's crucial for anyone involved in construction. A trusted TMT saria manufacturer ensures that each bar is built for resilience, safety, and long-term performance. And that reliability starts deep within the manufacturing process. Choosing the right TMT saria often comes down to knowing what goes into it and why it matters.
Introduction to TMT Saria
TMT stands for thermo-mechanically treated bars. These are high-electricity reinforcement bars with a hard outer middle and gentle internal core—designed for advanced electricity and versatility. TMT saria has become the standard choice in modern construction, whether for high-rise buildings or highway bridges.
Why the Manufacturing Process Matters
Each phase in making a TMT bar directly affects its structural properties. A precisely controlled process means better bendability, corrosion resistance, and earthquake resilience—qualities that depend on much more than just raw materials.
Raw Materials Used in TMT Saria
To make top-grade TMT bars, producers start with high-quality iron ore, coal, and limestone. The blend determines the steel’s electricity, consistency, and long-term reliability.
Primary Inputs for Strength and Durability
Low-impurity iron ore ensures reduced brittleness. The right carbon blend and alloying elements like chromium and vanadium upload durability without compromising on flexibility.
Step-by-Step Manufacturing Process
Step 1: Iron Ore Selection and Processing
Raw materials are carefully selected and processed in blast furnaces. The impurities are separated to produce pure molten steel.
Step 2: Heating in the Blast Furnace
The furnace heats the iron to over 1700°C. Controlled heating guarantees the right carbon content material and starts forming the steel’s inner grain shape.
Step 3: Rolling into Desired Shape
The warm steel is passed through a sequence of rolling stands, regularly reworking it into long, ribbed bars of precise diameters.
Step 4: Quenching—The Key to TMT Bars
This is where things get interesting. The hot-rolled bar passes through a water spray system, cooling only the outer layer rapidly while keeping the core hot. This creates a strong surface and a ductile core.
Step 5: Self-Tempering Process
After quenching, the bar’s inner heat tempers the outer martensite layer. This improves elasticity and prevents cracks under load.
Step 6: Atmospheric Cooling
Finally, bars are cooled in ambient air, allowing the core to become softer and more malleable—perfect for seismic zones and heavy loads.
Importance of the Quenching and Tempering Process
This dual process is what gives TMT bars their signature structure. A hard exterior resists mechanical damage, while the soft core handles pressure and movement without snapping.
Core Strength vs. Surface Hardness
It’s the balance between these two properties that makes TMT saria more reliable than older rebar types. Weak core? The bar breaks. Weak surface? It corrodes. A good TMT saria manufacturer strikes that perfect balance.
Role of a Reliable TMT Saria Manufacturer
A dependable manufacturer isn’t just a vendor. It’s a partner in every foundation, beam, and column.
Precision, Quality Control, and Certification
The best manufacturers follow BIS norms, conduct lab testing, and ensure every batch matches specifications before dispatch.
Consistency in Supply
On-time delivery and consistent quality are as important as the steel itself—especially for large infrastructure projects.
How TMT Bar Manufacturers Ensure Quality
Trusted TMT bar manufacturers follow strict quality checks from raw material selection to final product dispatch. Their facilities include spectrometers, UTM machines, and other advanced tools for quality assurance.Every lot is tested for tensile strength, elongation, and chemical composition. Certified labs confirm adherence to BIS standards before it reaches a construction site.
Final Thoughts
A strong structure begins with strong material. Understanding the TMT saria manufacturing process empowers builders, engineers, and decision-makers to choose smarter and safer. Working with a proven TMT saria manufacturer ensures that every bar you use is up to the mark—because every detail in the process counts.
