#Please someone correct me if I'm wrong

[rosemelodyshah]

Thanks @lostwriter--xx3 for this

I'm not entirely sure what was going on but it seemed like they were answering questions as on of their OCs (plz tell me if it's something else so I can correct it)

Og post

I will choose one of my OCs.

1. Would they ever kill their lover/best friend/person the love the most due to jealousy/honour killing/selfish fear/etc?

He'd kill loved ones due to honour killing, but not due to jealousy or selfish fear.

2. Would they ever hurt their pet?

If it felt necessary, yes. Like if the pet suddenly becomes a danger to someone else or himself, he might act on impulse and kill it.

3. How would they react to Ed Sheeran

Umm.. idk? He wouldn't really know Ed Sheeran exists, so he wouldn't have much of a reaction ig.

My three questions:

What would he/she do if suddenly faced with a lion?

What would he/she someone charges at them with a knife/dagger/spear?

What concerning behavior would he/she consider normal?

@lovelymasks, @jmagnabo92 and @runin-reads (I have no idea what this is even about so feel free to ignore if it's not for you), and anyone else who wants to do but has not been yet tagged (if you want me to tag you j tell me so)

Lyla watched Miles do this while Miguel was out and totally convinced him it was a good idea

did he or did he not lose fans then?

I will answer this because this anon actually brings a concrete question to the table rather than just "hurhur but you're a larrie??" (tell me you can't actually refute any of our points…). Anyway this post shows the decrease in Louis instagram followers between the screenshots taken directly after the release of Faith in the Future in Nov '22, when he changed his bio to promote that album and the tour tickets, and now, when he changed it again to mention the current release. But I'm putting that response under a cut because I'm tired of the actual POINT of all this nonsense getting lost in a sea of made up things people insist are important:

There is no rational argument you can make to say that Louis has less fans now than he did 2, 4, or 6 years ago. You don't need a spreadsheet of details you need to USE YOUR EYES! He has gone from filling theaters to filling arenas and stadiums. His second album made a higher chart position than his first album. His festival has doubled in size EVERY year of its existence. And for that matter: his insta post engagement numbers remain about the same (despite the fact that older posts should have way MORE likes due to having been there longer, even aside from follower counts.) SO WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT HIS INSTA FOLLOWER NUMBER???? Serious question: what does the word "fans" mean if these things aren't what matters? ALL of this quibbling about what he should do to make things better and people can't even see that THINGS AREN'T BAD.

Anyway to address the specific question- (con't......)

NO- HE DID NOT LOSE FANS. HE LOST SOME INSTA FOLLOWERS. THESE ARE NOT THE SAME THING. As I said above, literally what does it mean to lose fans if that number change coincides with him having higher sales, more audience members, and higher engagement than ever before? Whatever he lost ISN'T FANS. I wouldn't be surprised if a significant factor was something like a bot purge, but also yes: I'm sure a lot of casuals followed him around the time of his big album release and later unfollowed him. That's extremely normal because that's how casual engagement works, and why the definition of fan really matters. Louis and his team understand this and have referenced it repeatedly, talking about how lucky he is to have *us* specifically, to have the kind of dedicated fanbase he has, to have the KIND of fans he does who will allow him to do what HE wants. @dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram named the issue of depth vs breadth with regard to fans a long time ago, and pointed out why having DEPTH is so much more important. It's like this- artists who are on top 40 radio have more numbers on things like insta follows, and for a time on sales and tickets. But those aren't FANS- they're people with a casual interest. And as soon as that person isn't being forced in their ears 10x a day, those people lose interest and stop supporting them, stop buying stuff and unfollow, and those artists end up doing the 'opener on the jingle ball' circuit rather than their own tours. One Direction as a whole, and Louis maybe most of all or near to at this point, have something MUCH MORE VALUABLE than that- DEPTH FANS. Louis has fans who will support him even if he takes years to release music, or stops parading around with a pretend girlfriend to stay in the headlines at least once a month, or completely changes his image and genre, and that is UNHEARD OF. It's ASTONISHING and worth SO MUCH MORE. And they get that! THAT is why he always bragging about us, why industry people he works with are always so agog about us, why he will do anything for US- not for randos. He is also growing his breadth- and it's OBVIOUSLY WORKING whatever his follower counts are, but that is always going to be secondary to doing things for THE FANDOM because that is his sustainable business model. That is what keeps him onstage and reaching number one. And not coincidentally, the things they do are also working to grow that- much more valuable- commodity. So the fact that that's exactly what these chuckleheads complain about- that he does things that are just fandom facing or serving rather than everything being aimed at recruiting casual fans- does nothing but betray how completely they, unlike Louis and his team, misunderstand the actual drivers of his (actual, existing, happening) success. Luckily for Louis, he and his team rely on their own data harvesting (they do a LOT of it) and growth metrics (they're off the charts) rather than the smug assumptions of random (mostly quite new to this) fans and the few bitter people leading the complaining about everything Louis does.

you know, through all of this I can't help but think that Eddie hasn't really processed or accepted that Shannon wanted a divorce. He's stuck in this limbo where technically he's a widower and everyone acts like he is because that what he tells (almost) everyone. But he's not, not really. They were separated for years and she wanted a divorce. I hope he comes to terms with that because I think that would really help him.

Recreations of the outfits of @archie-sunshine's Knightformers AU Rodimus and Optimus in VRoid. I just think the character designs are neat.

I know they aren't completely accurate. In my defense, I think my laptop would have exploded if I added any more texture layers.

I've remembered that we never got a Karlnapity reunion. No one ever found out that Karl was a time traveller. Quackity never learned why he wasn't invited to Kinoko. Sapnap never learned why Quackity didn't join them. They never got to use that church. Ough. I feel sick.

the way I'd devour a fic of aven and ratio with your buckshot crossover, that thing has EATEN my brain

if anyone writes one 🙏🙏🙏🙏

YES!! I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING

If nobody does it I will do it myself HOWEVER that doesn't mean I wouldn't like any additions heheh

(in that case I MUST be sent a link to that fic before getting admitted to emergency care)

If anyone has the tiniest urge to write too, I implore them to join me!! Even if it's just one particular dialogue or sentiment that comes to mind, one small idea can surge much more once you end up starting it.

I really love this crossover particularly because the game's undertone themes (not saying what due to potential spoilers) deals with the exact same things Aventurine struggles with, oh, the angst potential.

ok hear me out: so wen ji and lu ji are not innocent people, okay. no matter how much puppy energy wen ji gives off this guy is a trained murderer and torturer. He and Lu Ji do the dirty work for Xiao Heng/Duke Su.

and the Chinese believe in accumulated karma. What you did in your previous life determines whether you reincarnate/which realm of hell you end up in.

So I've been thinking about if Lu Ji told Wen Ji before he dies that he'll "clear the way" for Wen Ji while waiting for him in hell...since the spirits of resentment(?) may come to haunt them for all the stuff they did before...

That scene where Severen gets back up and hisses after getting hit by a ray of sunlight has me in a chokehold.

Hello this a long shot call, am a citizen of Palestine. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin, I was diagnosised with type 1 diabetes and due to current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week.My donation link is available on my pinned post

I mean no offence if I'm mistaken but you don't say who has vetted/verified this, and searching your paypal name on this site does not bring up favourable results at all. I will not be sharing the link.

Comic: Left or Right?

Do comics generally start on the left or right?

Please, someone tell me that it is common for a comic to start from the left because if it is from the right it means that my little doodle is upside down XD

can you believe that an integral part of the darkness of thedas in the first 2 games was an established culture of sexual violence against women and marginalized people (esp. racial minorities and disabled people) and then they just stopped talking about it in inquisition.

ok Ima say something a little controversial

why do people look at evolution as If it is steadfast knowledge? I mean evolution does have ground, yes, but to say evolution is 100% proven to be true would be false.

I could make the same argument for creationism btw, "Oh but look at all this evidence toward a creator" yes yes evidence exists for both cases but that's not my point

My point is that people blindly put faith in a system of science that is a THEORY, evolution is a theoretical possibility for how the world came to be just as creationism is a theoretical possibility.

As I just pointed out yes there us evidence but evidence is nothing without the big picture. We have no clue how the world actually came to be and we shouldn't be fighting eachother over it.

A true scientist would go out of their way learn everything they can about the known universe and pick up all the little clues before deciding whether or not to support evolution theory or creation theory, it's basic math. (The dyscalcular person says)

All I'm saying is that I believe we let our views of the world get mixed too much into science, of course a Christian is more likely to study creationism and of course an atheist is more likely to study evolution. I'm not saying people don't do otherwise I'm just saying that's the most likely to be true.

Also as people who are not of science, we need to stop blindly trusting the world when it says the earth was made this way or that.

For hundreds of years people believed the sun circled the earth, they even has false evidence to prove themselves correct.

Im not saying that the sun circles the earth, I'm just saying that I believe everything and anything has the chance to be wrong, any if our world views could be shattered at any point in time.

Any thanks for listening to my Ted talk, I'm not a scientist, I'm a 15 year old sitting in my room ranting about shut I don't know.

Dont come after me.
