my yet-unillustrated fakemon concept that I'm still the most proud of is an electric/fighting-type mouse, specifically a pika-clone whose main traits are big boxing gloves, the ability iron fist, and a bruiser personality... and the wild population is entirely descended from a few escaped lab specimens, because, you see, it's a literal Knockout Mouse. scientists turned off one of its genes for research purposes, and accidentally created a rat that could punch real good. and no, they still don't understand why that gene did that.

the fact that people still use the "no one would talk to a friend that way" "no one would grieve for someone like that if it was just platonic" etc arguments to prove a ship is canon is so annoying to me. yes i get it, we got queerbaited hard but where does it say that romance has to be higher than a friendship or no one said friends couldn't also be lovers or vice versa....? i normally say "popular media tropes that usually are for romance" when i talk about fiction but pulling a blanket statement like "NO ONE talks to a friend that way" is so invalidating to so much of our queer experiences. the beauty of queer friendship literally lies in the emotional fulfilment we get from our friends in a way that i don't normally see in cishet friendships for whatever reasons. so idk it's just been bothering me to see these kinds of posts every now and then. "you wouldn't do [x] for your friends" i would actually. i would sell my soul for them. i would kill for them and kill myself for them. i would do anything for my friends that i would do for a partner. the "proof" for a ship doesn't have to be by invalidating their friendship. also like aren't most of the ships so powerful when they're also each other's closest friends? do y'all not think of your partners as your best friends?

[arealtrashact]

what'd you think of jacobi as elvis? how would you compare him to austin butler?

This movie is rapidly slipping from my mind with each passing hour but I think he did great ! He nailed the stutter as well as the thick Memphian mumble that Elvis determinedly shook after Hollywood. I don't know what other fans think of his performance because I'm a hermit who doesn't insert myself into fandom / fan spaces but I hope they appreciate the subtle approach he took. It's very easy to create a caricature + imitation of Elvis ( given what pop culture has done to him ) but I don't feel that this actor did either of those things. I think he did a wonderful job of playing the many different 'shades' that refracted through the prism of Elvis Presley. Playful, petulant, desperate. . .

He didn't have the aid of Baz Luhrmann's bombastic colors and cinematography to fall back on either. In fact, he had so much working against him in regards to this film's editing, I'm giving him bonus points.

Comparing him to Austin is a little unfair, considering he only plays Elvis for a chunk of his life while AB played him from 19 to 40 (and very well, in my opinion. The gradual shifts in both his accent and demeanor are still incredible to me -- that is nothing to say of the performances. In my heart he won that Oscar).

The short answer :

Love love LOOOOVE when your brain just drops an idea fully formed into your lap. Truly an unparalleled level of contentedness.

Stand Out From The Competition: Brand Positioning Strategies

Discover key brand positioning strategies to help your brand stand out from the competition and attract more customers.

Understanding Your Competition

Understanding your competition is essential for setting your brand apart in the market. By analysing your competitors, you can gain valuable insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies. This information can help you identify gaps in the market that your brand can fill. Additionally, understanding your competition allows you to differentiate your brand by offering unique products, services, or experiences that set you apart from similar businesses.

To understand your competition, conduct thorough market research. Identify who your direct and indirect competitors are and analyze their products, pricing, marketing strategies, target audience, and brand positioning. This analysis will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the competitive landscape in which your brand operates.

Identifying Your Unique Selling Proposition

Identifying your unique selling proposition (USP) is crucial for setting your brand apart from the competition. Your USP is what makes your brand different, special, and valuable to your target audience. It is the unique combination of factors that differentiate your brand and make it the best choice for your customers.

To identify your USP, consider the following questions:

- What unique features or benefits does your product or service offer?

- What problems does your brand solve that others don't?

- What makes your brand more desirable or attractive to your target audience?

By answering these questions, you can uncover your brand's unique strengths and advantages. Use this information to craft a compelling USP that clearly communicates why your brand is the best choice for your customers.

Creating a Strong Brand Identity

Creating a strong brand identity is essential for standing out from the competition. Your brand identity is the perception and image that your brand projects to the world. It encompasses your brand's personality, values, mission, visual elements, and communication style.

To create a strong brand identity, start by defining your brand's core values and mission. This will guide your brand's actions and behaviors, helping you build a consistent and authentic identity. Next, develop a visually appealing and memorable brand logo, color palette, typography, and other design elements that align with your brand's personality and appeal to your target audience.

Consistency is key when it comes to brand identity. Ensure that your brand's messaging, tone of voice, and visual elements are consistent across all touchpoints, including your website, social media profiles, packaging, and advertising materials. This consistency will help your brand become recognizable and memorable to your audience.

Targeting the Right Audience

Targeting the right audience is crucial for positioning your brand effectively. By understanding your target audience's needs, preferences, and behaviors, you can tailor your brand's messaging and offerings to resonate with them.

Start by creating detailed buyer personas that represent your ideal customers. Consider factors such as demographics, psychographics, interests, pain points, and purchasing behaviors. Use market research, surveys, and customer feedback to gather insights about your target audience.

Once you have a clear understanding of your target audience, develop marketing strategies that specifically target and appeal to them. This may include creating personalized content, using targeted advertising campaigns, and leveraging social media platforms where your audience is most active. By targeting the right audience, your brand can effectively communicate its value and connect with potential customers.

Consistent Brand Messaging Across All Channels

Maintaining consistent brand messaging across all channels is essential for establishing a strong and cohesive brand identity. Consistency in messaging helps build trust and credibility with your audience and reinforces your brand's unique positioning.

To ensure consistent brand messaging, start by defining your brand's key messages. These messages should align with your brand's values, mission, and unique selling proposition. Clearly articulate what your brand stands for, what it offers, and why it is the best choice for your target audience.

Once you have defined your key messages, ensure that they are consistently communicated across all marketing channels. This includes your website, social media platforms, email marketing campaigns, advertisements, and any other communication channels you use. Use the same tone of voice, language, and key phrases to reinforce your brand's identity and make it easily recognizable to your audience.

Consistent brand messaging helps create a unified brand experience for your customers and reinforces your brand's positioning in the market. It ensures that your audience receives a cohesive and compelling message, no matter where they interact with your brand.

I honesty don't think it matters much in current times that men have influence over the beauty industry when feminists will spew repetitive commentary about 'patriarchal beauty standards' like broken records yet will perpetrate and valorize the exact same beauty standards that they critique.

Overthrowing beauty standards and getting rid of them entirely IMO is the easiest thing to "overthrow" systematically because all it takes is simply not buying beauty products and not practicing in unnecessary beauty rituals, and POOF! it can all crumble but that's not what's happening. Instead you see the most self-aware choice feminists give lip-service in support of women who don't want to be forced to wear makeup or shave or feel insecure about their looks. It's all "all women are beautiful" and "no women should be bullied for having body hair or being GNC" and they might have good intentions but at the end of the day as long as beauty is social currency for women (femininity in all forms) then that becomes a baseline for ALL women and ALL women will naturally have the incentive to try to pursue whatever is the current beauty standard. And in return those women who opt out femininity are seen as 'lesser' women who get demoted and ignored by society, and so all women, both GNC and GC who get mistreated for being women no matter what, will be inclined to at least gain something (social currency) by being 'pretty' and try to capitalize on that if they are going to be mistreated anyways.

I think it's a common misconception around choice feminists (judging by the way they tackle beauty standards) that women's insecurity are a personal self-inflicted, self-esteem problem and not one where women subconsciously know they are missing out on something (social currency) is they don't participate in it. Choice feminism somehow strangely recognized that beauty standards as systematic issue but doesn't handle it a one, in fact they go the hyper-individualistic route where every women simply needs to "be confident" (where some women's confidence comes from getting plastic surgeries to be their ideal self :/ ), and everything is solved. They focus more on individual feelings and not with the fact that beauty is more an accomplishment and experience that women are supposed to valorize in order to be successful in life, as if it's something to put on a resume.

So, as long as women participate and "gain" something from being beautiful, even if they are victims themselves of beauty standards, words and support for gender non-conforming women fall flat. When women are not valued for existing in their natural form and there is always an "improved", altered version of a women that they can be according to society (that doesn't exist for men at all), it no longer becomes a simple debate about choices and how men control women's appearances or not but one of ALWAYS feeling like your natural self as a women isn't good enough and you have to keep up with women who "choose" to do so and "gain" the most from it. Men's opinions and actions become insignificant here.

So, here's the thing: ranching in the United States was developed in part by exterminating any large animals that could pose a threat to cattle and other livestock, whether through predation or competition for food. That includes wolves, bears, cougars, bison, etc. While it's likely there was someone along the line who tried to coexist with these wild animals while raising livestock, the prevailing solution was to kill "nuisance" species, whether by shooting, trapping, or poisoning them en masse. These animals were wiped out from much of their native range in the lower 48 states by the early 20th century, and their more recent return represents a reckoning with the way we have used and abused the land since.

Now that we have more understanding of the ecological importance of every native species that exists in an ecosystem, there's no excuse to keep defaulting to killing wolves and other predators. Conservationists have offered ranchers a wide variety of solutions to protect their stock, from wolf-proof fences and hazing protocols to livestock guardian dogs. Ranchers can request financial compensation in many Western states for wolf-killed livestock and other losses, though not every rancher wants to differentiate between a cow killed by wolves, and one that died of other causes but was scavenged by wolves postmortem. And, unsurprisingly, some ranchers file fraudulent claims to game the system.

But there also remains the attitude that ranchers should be able to let their cattle run wherever they want on private or public land, and not have to monitor them or create adequate barriers against predators. The entitlement they feel to enormous areas of land, to include public lands that are supposed to be for everyone's use, has its roots in the assumption that "taming the land" for economic profit is more important than any other use. They want any potential threat to be preemptively removed for their convenience, no matter the ecological cost--or human cost, for that matter. Don't forget that every ranch in the West was once the homeland of indigenous people who were, more often than not, forcibly and violently removed so the ranchers' predecessors could move in with their livestock.

It's time for ranchers to accept that they're going to have to adjust to the return of native animals that have lived in these ecosystems for thousands of years. It is already beyond generous that states are willing to pay ranchers for lost cattle. They need to return the favor by working with conservationists to find solutions that reduce predation without just shooting the predatory species native to their region. Ranching as it stands today can only be achieved by the elimination of native animals from the land, but it's not the only way to successfully raise livestock in wild areas. It's time for new solutions that benefit both the cattle and the wildlife alike.

Yandere!Senpai is your go-to reliable classmate. Not only is he smart and one of the top students, but he's part of multiple sport clubs and overall a skilled athlete. Truly an admirable individual.

What you don't know is that he's a rancid otaku who can't differentiate between fiction and reality. All that assiduous training isn't for any competition, but preparation for a potential disaster. What if there's a zombie apocalypse like in Highschool of the Dead? He must be fit enough to protect you from the mindless masses! Or, even worse, he could be isekai'd into an RPG world. "Thank God you can use a sword," you'd cry against his chest. He grins at the thought.

Well, there's also the fact that he's obsessed with you. Secretly, of course. He's seen the way you look at him: nothing but a good Samaritan, lacking anything special. He needs to win your heart differently. He needs to impress you first. Oh, he can already picture it! "Senpai? It was you, all along?" He'd ruffle your hair with a humble smirk.

Consequently, you're now being followed around by a masked weirdo. The first encounter was a humiliating affair. You were about to reach your school, when someone dramatically jumped on top of the gate, towering above you. The man - wearing a paper bag from the fresh produce aisle - handed you a rose in a poof of smoke. Its petals fluttered in the air and scattered all around, as everyone turned to look at you. A confession? Who was the mysterious suitor?

"I'm going to be late," you explained, pushing the flower back.

What's wrong with that guy, you wondered, speeding away from the scene.

Too simple? Too direct? Don't worry, (Y/N) Darling. He's full of ideas.
