Truthfully you were no stranger to this line of work. After all this how you were able to get through college, pay your bills and now living inside of a very nice apartment complex with your best friend.Β
Even so, now youβre rated as the number one cam girl on that site, due to your physique. Being extremely short and tiny to you is an accomplishment, because if it wasnβt for those two main factors then it may be a possibility that someone else wouldβve turned out to be number instead.Β
So yeah, at this point you knew all the tricks and trade on the site. You knew what works best for you, you knew what the viewers loved, what they wanted from you. You also knew their dislike and so on.Β
To add, you also know what to do or how to grab your viewers attention by doing stuff like feature collabs with other cam stars or pornstars. It helps to boost your ratings and gain more recognition. And you know what they say, the more people who watch and subscribe to your content, the more money youβre about to roll in.Β
But funny enough, youβve never once had a featured guest star on your livestreams, or even in the videos youβd post on OF. The thought had never crossed your mind, nor did you care enough to think about it. But today, you might actually consider working with a pornstar.
You almost choked on your water when you opened up your gmail and saw that youβve received a letter from the owner of the biggest playboy magazine in Japan and he happened to be the number one hottest pornstar of 2023.Β
You almost jumped out of the chair when you opened the email that was sent a half hour ago and began reading.Β
Dear Y/N,Β
Iβve seen a few of your videos online and I must say Iβm impressed. I have to say, I was pretty shocked to see such a small girl like you perform so well in bed. Youβre a star baby girl. Oh, just to let you know Iβm also your biggest tipper on your live stream.Β
Anyways, I want to make a proposal to you. You donβt have to accept but Iβll try my luck with you. Letβs do a big collaboration together at my place. It could be anything you like; like roleplaying, BDSM, or just simple vanilla sex. It doesnβt really matter to me, Iβll be fine with whatever you choose. Iβll just have to make sure that I inform my camera crew about the collaboration, and ensure that everything is alright and in place just so that you could feel comfortable.Β
I think this would be a perfect opportunity for the both of us. You'll have an amazing stream to broadcast and Iβll have content to post on my private website. Your rating will also go up, and as an added bonus Iβll make you the face of the winter 2023 playboy magazine.Β
So how about it, pretty girl? Do you wanna fuck me? Because I want to fuck you. Letβs talk this over at my place Friday, which is the day after tomorrow by the way. This is my address. I live at xxxxxxxxx in penthouse number two. I'll have a keycard at the front desk for you. Also call me whenever you are through with reading this email. My number is +81 xxxx xxxxx. I want to know what you think and if youβre up to the task.Β
Iβm waiting for your call.Β
Sincerely,Β
Gojo Satoru.Β
Youβve never rushed to grab your phone so fast. But as soon as the device was in your hand, you quickly dialled up his number and after the second ring, he answered.Β
Gojo:Β Hello? Who is this?
You swallowed thickly, eyes almost popping out of your head the moment you heard his smooth voice through the speakers of your phone.Β
Gojo: Hello?Β
You: Uhm hello Mr. Gojo?
Gojo: Speaking?
You: Hi Mr. Gojo itβs Y/N, you said that I should give you a call immediately after reading your email.Β
Gojo: give me a sec and let me call you right back.Β
With that said, he hung up but immediately called you back. But instead of a voice call, he jumped the gun and went straight to facetime. You blinked a couple of times before answering, blinked a few more times the moment you saw his angelic face appeared on screen. βHey,β he said and smiled at you with those perfect pearly whites as he stared at you with those cerulean eyes of his.Β
βHello,β you answered with a shy, but adorable smile gracing your lips.Β
βYouβre cute you know,β he complimented you which had your cheeks burning from being so embarrassed and shy at his compliment.Β
βThank you Mr. Gojo,β you said to him.Β
βPlease call me Satoru.β he suggested and you shook your head ok. βSo, I guess itβs safe to say that you want to collaborate with me.β You shyly nodded your head at him and he chuckled. βThatβs perfect, Iβll get in touch with my camera crew then and let them know that you and I are going to collaborate together.β
You said nothing, only stared and watched as he pulled out another phone from his pocket, you assume and began dialling a number.Β
βYouβre pretty shy, for a cam girl that is. Most cam girls that Iβve worked with in the past arenβt as shy as you,β he pointed out.Β
βWell, thatβs because I canβt believe that Iβm on the phone with Gojo Satoru. I admire your work very much and to know that I have the opportunity to work with someone that I admire is making me feel a bit shy. I donβt know what to say or even how to act around you currently,β you answered truthfully.Β
βI admire your honesty, but no need to feel shy with me.βΒ
βIβll try not to be,β you replied and he laughed.Β
βYouβre adorableβ¦ ah hold on. Nanami,β he called out to the guy who was talking to him through his other phone. βY/N called and she said that wants to collaborate with me. Yeah- so I guess we can set up the guest room tomorrow and prepare everything for her stream on Friday night. Your streams are on Friday night right pretty girl?βΒ
βYeah I stream every Friday at 8,β you answered him.Β
βYeah, so like I said weβre setting up the guest room for her stream. Iβll run through everything later in the afternoon, Nanami. Alright, later then,β he bid his goodbyes to Nanami then hung up and turned his attention towards you. βI guess everything is settled then.βΒ
βI think so.βΒ
βYou sure?β he asked. You thought about it for a while, wondering if there was anything else youβd like to say and you almost said no, but that is until you remember something that you think itβll be important for him to know before progressing further with the planning and preparation.Β
βUhm, Mrβ¦ I mean Satoru. There is something that Iβd like to say.βΒ
βGo on, I'm listening,β he said to you.Β
You took a deep breath, closed your eyes and turned your head away from the phone and said. βYou know Iβve never collaborated with anyone right?β He hummed in response to this. βWell part of the reason for this is because I wasnβt all that interested and the other reason is that I lack sexual experience.βΒ
That shocked him a bit, blinking a couple of times as he blurted out. βYouβre a virgin.β
You quickly shook your head no as you responded, βNo, Iβm not. Iβm saying that I donβt have that much experience in bed. Iβve had sex maybe two or three times, but thatβs it so I donβt know if Iβll have any fun.βΒ
βAhβ¦ doubting yourself already, pretty girl?β He asked while chuckled. You stayed silent and he never was really expecting you to respond anyways. βYou donβt need to worry about having experience or not. You donβt need to worry about such silly things. All you have to do is trust me and trust that Iβll take absolute care of you and your squirting pussy.β
You gasped, βMr. Gojo?β
He laughed, βDonβt worry your pretty little head too much about it. Anyways I wished I could stay and chat with you for the remainder of the day, but I just got home from Okinawa and Iβm extremely tired. So, Iβll text you when Iβm all rested and tomorrow you and I can talk on the phone and get comfortable with each other.βΒ
βThat would be lovely,β you said to him.Β
βAlright Iβll text you later to talk more about the collaboration.βΒ
βOK Satoru, goodbye,β you said to him.Β
He smiled and waved at you as he bid his goodbyes before hanging.Β
Well then I guess youβll be busy tomorrow and on Friday night. You were so excited.Β
β¦Β
The following night and throughout the next day, youβve been texting with Gojo non-stop. You both shared funny memes, talked about your favourite food and such- you know just light innocent conversations to lighten the mood between you both until he started questioning you about your Journey towards becoming a successful cam girl.Β
You felt quite a bit shy at first, but still you told him how much you struggled to get through college and you found out that being a cam girl was the easiest way to make money. You didnβt plan on doing it for too long, but somehow you got so caught up in the fun and the blood rushing thrill, filled with excitement from being watched by a thousand people got to your head; you just decided that this was going to be your career for a very long time.Β
You even told him that at first you were so ashamed of yourself because youβve never once thought that you would be in such a position to be showing your body off to the world. But overtime, you got over it and now, you could care less about what the public had to say about you and your career. He told you that he was happy to hear that youβre having so much fun with your job and he hoped to make the live stream just as fun.Β
After that conversation you went on to talk about random things while pitching a few topics about sex along throughout the conversation. You were honestly starting to feel a bit comfortable with him, you know, being able to have such obscene conversations with him without being scorned or called a slut. You even decided to give him a free private show that night. You were a bit nervous but comfortable enough to spread your legs for him in front of your webcam while he sat in his office to watch you.Β
He watched as you tossed your head back, your dainty hands gripping your breast, squeezing the mound as that tiny little booty of yours jiggled each time you slid up and down on that plastic dildo you use for your every stream. βWant me to tip you pretty girl?β he asked. But you shook your head no, too focused on feeling rubbery vein caressing your wet, gummy walls. He chuckled and licked his lips then he said, βBend over for meβ¦ I want to see your pussy dripping all over that toy when you cum pretty girl.β
βUghβ¦ Ok,β you moaned and did as you were told. But not without looking back at the screen to see Gojo blue eyes staring dead at you. You could see him fighting against himself, trying his hardest not to pull his cock out on you while you gave him a show. He wanted you to have this moment for yourself, show him exactly how freely youβre able to express yourself when indulging in pleasure. So his cock will have to wait, blue balls would have to be his best friend tonight.Β
βMr. Gojoβ¦ I,β You stuttered through your moan.Β
βItβs Satoru to you, Angel,β he said to you. βYou wanna cum?β
βYes, please may I cum Satoru? I really wannaβ¦ ahhh.β
βGo ahead,β he ordered before falling back against his chair to watch as you fell apart for him over the computer screen. Your pretty pussy was on display for him and only him. You bent your knees slightly to ride the dildo a bit faster, your thighs were trembling. He could see your pussy pulsing and creaming around his cock.Β
βAhβ¦ Ahhβ¦ mhm,β you cried and twitched as you cum around the plastic cock. Gojo couldβve sworn he dumped a heavy load in his pants, but he is not going to check, well not right at least, not when you started to ride that dildo once again. Oh boy was Gojo going to have so much fun filming with you tomorrow and see how much he can make that pretty pussy of yours squirt with his fingers, mouth and his cock.
After what happened with Gojo that night, all the worries you had about filming with him disappeared during the night, only to return the next day when you walked inside his apartment to see him getting his makeup done for the stream. He greeted you with a smile the moment he saw you stepped foot inside his home and wasted no time in calling you towards him to watch as he got his makeup done.Β
He pulled you down onto his lap and pressed a kiss to your cheek, gripped your chin and slightly tilted your head upwards to meet his gaze. And just before you were able to utter a sound out of your mouth, he lightly pressed a kiss to your lips, then whispered, βThere is a lot more where that came from pretty girl.βΒ
His words left you a flustered mess, he had you blushing like a teenager who just got kissed by their crush. You knew that he was a smoother talker, based upon the conversation you had with him over the phone and somehow you knew that he had some sneaking plan up his sleeves to get you all flustered up your stream. But what you didnβt expect him to do was to kiss you as soon as you entered his home.Β
Dammit! He was dangerous.Β
Anyways it didnβt take him much time to get his makeup done, not that he needed it anyways his skin is already perfect as it is. But you guess it's somewhat showbiz, or pornbiz. Anyways he offered for his makeup artist to do yours, and while you declined at first, you ended up agreeing because you realised that you left your makeup pouch at home.Β
Anyways, as they did your makeup and so on, Gojo explained that his camera crew or lets say his friend Nanami would be inside of the room, filming the both of you while Geto sat in a private room and monitor your stream and thank the viewers for the tips, because you were going to be too busy getting fucked (basically) to be paying attention to stream. He went on to explain that thereβs much to discuss with Nanami. He said that Geto is normally the one to explain what Nanami is about to tell you later, to new and upcoming Pornstars like you.Β
But since he didnβt want to overwhelm you with too much manly presence, Nanami decided that he was going to take up the initiative to explain it to you instead. As he went on to explain other things, you just sat quietly and listened. There isnβt much for you to say anyways.Β
After the conversation, he left you for a moment and came back with an envelope.Β
βWhat is this?β you asked him as you reached out for the envelope that he stretched towards you.Β
βA STD test results of course. It is important for me to provide you with this information. As you can see, I am clean. I donβt nor have I ever contracted an STD. With that said, I want you to trust me enough to have sex with you without using a condom. I donβt mind if you want to use it. At the end of the day, itβs your body and I want you to feel comfortable. Thatβs my goal here.βΒ
βOk Satoru,β you said while smiling.Β
βGreat, now give me a kiss,β he said as he slotted himself between your legs. Your shyness kicked in once again. You tilted your head downwards a bit and peered at him through your lashes. He chuckled - how adorable you look he thought before resting his forehead against yours, his perfect pointy nose rubbing against you and you could feel his cool mint breath against yours lips as he whispered, βBetter get used to kissing me now to avoid you tensing up in front of the camera.βΒ
And with that said, he gently pressed his lips against yours, sweetly capturing the taste of your strawberry flavoured breath before pulling away. βSweet,β he whispered, his lips moving from your lips and pressed them against your cheeks a couple times before returning to your lips to kiss you deeper and more passionately than he had before.Β
Your skin felt like it was on blaze - your heart hammering through your chest the moment you felt his tongue caress yours. βSatoruβ¦β you whimpered against his lips. He chuckled before pecking your lips a couple of times.
To be continuedβ¦

changbin coworker headcanons <3
a/n: i hate that it took me SO. LONG. to upload another coworker headcanons post :-((( i'm currently suffering in the office so thinking about giggly coworker!changbin is my saving grace <3 pics not mine~
content: fluff, nonidol!au | wc: 0.9k | warnings: none really! some mentions of food | pairing: coworker!changbin x gn!reader | requests: open


itβs honestly hard to remember a time at work when you and changbin werenβt friends
changbin was always known for being good-natured, friendly, and an absolute joy to be around, which you were informed of on your first day
needless to say, people were quite jealous when you became the favorite of the most well-liked person in the office
changbin would argue that youβre the most liked though because he likes you so much, with all his heart, forever and everΒ
he tells you this like every day :,-( just the cutest
speaking of changbin being cute
he is determined to turn any bad day around asap
like the second he sees the hint of a frown on your face, he is going full y/n-deserves-the-best-day-ever mode
heβll do anything from impromptu girl group dance performances every time he walks by your desk to reading dozens of dad jokes off a random website to absolutely CHEESINβ at you until you smile back
also totally is on his rich kid behavior when it comes to buying you snacks, drinks, trinkets, or anything else he thinks you need to get through the workday
any time you offer to pay him back he looks like heβs going to cry because βi just want to treat you!! you are my friend!! i can only survive the hours of the workday because youβre here!! the least i could do is buy you this thing!!β
βthis thingβ is like a five course meal on a wednesday but whatever you say changbin <33
even though he feels itβs his daily responsibility to make sure youβre working in a stress-free environment, good luck doing anything in peace
his voice is on max volume 97% of the time
and the other 3% his voice is on bass boosted whisper
if you sit next to him in a meeting, he WILL get you in trouble for disrupting the presentation
if youβre not talking to him, heβd whisper βy/n!!! why are you ignoring me???β and then your boss would call you both out for being disruptive and youβre sitting there like ???? iβve been completely silentΒ
before you can say anything to defend yourself, changbin is apologizing and saying βweβll never do it againβ which is a total lie lmao
he doesn't care though. he sits next to you every time and will throw a fit if you run away
youβre his buddy so it's mandatory in his mind to sit with each other at all times
changbin also gets jealous of other coworkers hanging out with you
like someone asks you how your weekend went and he is in a tiff because "i can't believe you're replacing me with them!!!!!!β and youΒ barely remember their name but you spend 30 minutes cheering changbin up so he stops pouting and does his work
somehow youβve become a changbin babysitter because really heβs just a goofy little kid
sometimes coworkers will ask you for tips on working with changbin
whenever heβs collaborating with others, he ends up (unintentionally) derailing brainstorms or group meetings by telling a story or making jokes that are the slightest bit related to the conversation at hand
and people love his charm but they also need to do their work
which is why, after you pass one one successful trick, people come to you ALL the time for advice
youβre now known as the changbin expert
changbin finds this out at a company party and while he confronts you for βexposing seo changbin trade secretsβ he actually is SO endeared by the fact youβre known for knowing him so well
he shares this with all of his friends because he wants to brag yet again about how youβre the coolest person ever and therefore he is the luckiest person ever
while a lot of the time with changbin is all fun and games, he knows when to take a step back and bring you calm energy or serious moral support
it may not be his default state to refrain from giggling and dancing, changbin cares deeply about your wellbeing and will switch up his vibe according to your mood/needs
absolutely the BEST listener whenever you need to rant
like he books out a (soundproof) conference room so you can talk trash about a project or a person
and the whole time he is agreeing with you wholeheartedlyΒ
if you ask, heβll offer you solutions, but heβs also willing to simply be a shoulder to cry on or someone to listen to whateverβs weighing on your mind
obviously, you thank him for it every time, and he reassures you that itβs just him doing his job
when you remind him of what his actual job is, he says he got promoted to βy/nβs emotional support coworkerβ
you laugh so hard at this that it becomes an inside joke between the two of you
for his birthday, you get him a nameplate for his desk with that job title, and he loves it so much he nearly cries :-( he shows it off to everyone for weeks and places it prominently on his desk to remind everyone who your #1 fan is :β-)
no one tells you this, but the truth is that, before you started working there, changbin never had the zoomies as often as he does now
for as much as he is known to be your support system, meeting you reinvigorated his presence in the workplace, and seeing you in the morning is enough to turn his mood completely around
thatβs why, even on his worst days, changbin wants nothing more than to make you smile even if it means he has to scramble at the end of the day to finish the report that was due the next morning lol because you, without having to try, are changbinβs sunshine <3

No-BS Nintendo Switch 2 Information
There is a LOT of speculation and misinformation going around about the Nintendo Switch 2 so I thought I'd make this post to clear some of it up. All my sources are directly from Nintendo's website or official Nintendo sources.
ββββββββββββββββββ
American Pricing
For my non-American readers, please check your region's Nintendo website for your pricing.
Console Price: $450. For reference, a Switch 1 purchased in 2017 would be $390.51 today.
Game Prices: $70 or $80. For reference, a Switch 1 game purchased in 2017 would be $78.09 today. There is currently no physical/digital price split.
Prices are currently subject to change due to tariffs.
Preorder Date: April 24th for USA and Canada
Release Date: June 5th
ββββββββββββββββββ
FAQs
How do I upgrade my Switch 1 Game to the Switch 2 Version?
It's a DLC purchase. Depending on how much new content is added the cost varies.
Examples:
Kirby and the Forgotten Land - $20 for added story DLC.
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - $10 for added content.
Both base games for the Switch 1 are $60.
(Bill Trinen via IGN)
If you haven't bought the games before, they are available for physical purchase at a new price point, containing the added Switch 2 content.
(via Walmart)
Some games with receive free compatibility upgrades to boost performance.
What is a Game Key Card?
Previous "Digital Only" physical titles would be an empty plastic box with a code written inside. Game Key Cards are to replace that written code. This, in theory, ties games to the key card instead of your account, allowing them to be downloaded multiple times across multiple systems, along with allowing them to be resold.
Not all games will use the Game Key Card, many will still use standard Game Cards. As an example, Kirby and The Forgotten Land posted above does NOT use a Game Key Card. Read your game boxes before a purchase to find out which you are buying.
ββββββββββββββββββ
I will update this post as new information comes out or is requested!
#nintendo#nintendo switch 2#nintendo switch#nsw2#nsw#game key card#game key cards#layla games#the amount of misinfo makes me upset bc ppl are getting riled up over complete rumors or misunderstandings#please do your own research before purchasing!! <3

my thoughts on pokemon legends za: what we know so far
i'm back!!!! sorry for not posting in over a year, the hyperfixation has shifted and i started uni which has kept me VERY busy. regardless! i'm super excited for the new game! this post will be based primarily on the trailer that dropped earlier today, though i will be taking info from the official site into account.
analysis under the readmore!
general
i think this game is going to be a launch title for the switch 2. i know the trailer and website both said it would be for the switch, but considering a. that the switch 2 is coming out later this year, we just don't know when yet and b. how godawful sv's performance was (and how the visuals seem to be pretty similar to sv's), i think that would make the most sense. if this is true, both will probably be releasing in november, because that's when pokemon games come out (except pla lmao), but Β―\_(γ)_/Β― we'll see!
since pla took place like... idk, 300 or so? years before dpp, i'm betting that plza will take place roughly 300 years after xy. given the amount of development and improved technology (and, from what i can tell, a lack of sycamore, clemont, and other characters from lumiose (though this is only the first trailer)), it would have to be at least 100 years in the future. i just think the time difference is roughly the same for parallel reasons. i'll elaborate more on this later, though
OBSESSED with the new battle system. finally, we can truly live out the anime and have our pokemon fucking dodge attacks without relying on evasion boosting moves. the ui is also really neat, i LOVE the info (chikorita used razor leaf, it's super effective, etc) being on the side, it feels a lot less obtrusive. also love that you can see your whole party at all times, i think that's great
speaking of ui, the minimap is fantastic. desperately needed that sooner, thank you gamefreak
the architecture and stuff looks AMAZING, i adore the style
pokemon
starters are chikorita, tepig, and totodile! definitely gives johto favoritism, but you know what, that's fair, johto has not gotten appreciation like this in years
unsure if the starters will get kalosian(?) forms or mega evolutions, i've seen speculation for both. i think it'll probably be forms, because it doesn't feel like there's any way they could give these three mega evolutions but not the others from those regions, plus samurott and typhlosion already have hisuian forms
relatedly, snivy is definitely going to be the grass starter in the next legends game (assuming we get another one, at least, which we probably will)
regardless, regional variants seem more likely to me, which gives more credence to my theory that this is a good few hundred years post xy, even if this is pokemon, changes like that take a while. fairly confident we won't get mega evolutions for the starters, but it would be cool if we did!
speaking of, mega evolution is BACK!!!!! i'm SO excited, mega evolution is EASILY my favorite mid-battle... mechanic? change? idk, but z moves, dynamaxing, and terastilization don't even come CLOSE
the currently confirmed returning mega evolutions are charizard, kangaskhan, gyarados, ampharos, gardevoir, sableye, altaria, absol, and lucario: a solid mix of mega evolutions introduced in both xy and oras. i imagine all of the old mega evolutions will return (except maybe mega rayquaza and mega mewtwo, given that i can't think of any reason for them to be there)
relatedly, the returning pokemon (in general and not counting the ones already mentioned) are sliggoo, clauncher, furfrou, sandile, bunnelby, pyroar, zygarde (obviously), budew, vivillon, eevee, patrat, pikachu (duh), larvitar, bagon, aegislash, trubbish, weepinbell, chandelure, fletchling, swirlix, spritzee, hippowdon, pidgeot, skiddo, onix, florges, dragalge, dedenne, and inkay, plus obviously all pre-evolutions and evolutions thereof
didn't see any regional variants, but i'm fairly confident they'll show up considering they've been in every game since sm (even though kalos was before that). hopefully we'll get more variants than we did in sv!
characters
not a lot to say about the rivals, tbh. they're fine enough, i don't have enough info to make much of a judgement
i do not trust jett and vinnie. mostly jett. they're leaders of a megacorporation, and i know how that goes in pokemon games (plus jett's design gives HUGE r*se and oleana vibes, both of whom i hate with a passion). the only thing that makes me doubt they're the antags is how early in the promotional cycle they've shown up, but if they're villains i will have called it on sight. stop designing characters like this, gamefreak, you've made a reputation for yourselves now
and finally, AZ!!!!!!!!! i'm super super SUPER excited about him being here, i think that's INCREDIBLE and i'm so happy he and floette are thriving now. he's running a hotel, good for him
SPEAKING OF, this is probably the main reason i think plza will be so far in the future. we've established that az..... can't die, and he didn't reconnect with floette until post xy, so there's no way this game can take place before then (unless it was way way WAY long ago, but he wouldn't be able to run a hotel then cause he would be busy being king. also all the technological improvements and stuff). given that it he's established a hotel and it seems he has been running it for a while, based on the fact that the rivals live and work there, this game has to take place long enough after xy that he would 1, not be an emotional wreck 2, get himself cleaned up and presentable 3, get enough money to buy a building in lumiose city, which i imagine would be pretty expensive 4, buy a building in lumiose city that he can turn into a hotel 5, establish it as a business to the point where people live there and the player character chooses to stay there, and 6, the events of the game occur. step 1 alone had to take years (half joking), so i'm positive that given the other steps this game has to be at minimum a century after xy
also, he uses a cane now. arguably he should've had that a long time ago, but still (i was also gonna mention the knee brace, but i checked and he had that in the official artwork for xy)
EDIT: i know thereβs no fucking way this will happen but i kinda really really hope the lumiose ghost girl comes back and fucking explains literally anything. i want to know what the fuck sheβs talking about but also i hope itβs a mystery forever and she stays a cryptid queen. idk, just thoughts, itβs like 2:30 am and insomniaβs kicking my ass, there are no coherent thoughts rn
that's it for now, i think. super excited for this game, i can't wait!!!!
#pokemon#pokemon legends za#pokemon za#plza#pokemon gen 9#chikorita#tepig#totodile#urbain pokemon#taunie pokemon#jett pokemon#vinnie pokemon#az pokemon#lumiose ghost girl#is there something else people tag her as idk#analysis#speculation#og post#kalos

Okay! I'm calling this one done since the shading doesn't show up anyway super well on the dark colors and I wanna post another!
Asarsi- God of Sorcery, Patron of the Kissai (Mind in High Sith, Coruscant Translator)Β Kiha hi kata misi diΓ’ kraujas artsisi na ri tyΓ»k iw zo dis asimi.β (May thy heart beat and blood stir with the strength of a thousand storms.)
Ancient myths speak of Asarsi being guarded in combat and out by Yavin. Yavin did not believe their counterpart to be weak, simply found that they worked better together where one could distract and draw the attention of an enemy while the other cast destructive sorceries. Some sorcerers and warriors in the current day and age take this story to heart and choose to work as a pair to devastating effect. As Typhojem and SosΓ»taus were considered the highest of beings, Yavin and Asarsi approached them for teachings they might spread to their people. SosΓ»taus blessed Asarsi with the gift of sorcery and instructed them in many powerful and strange rituals that they taught to the Kissai who expanded upon them. One ritual often performed by sorcery-inclined Tsis even in the modern day is βThe Blessing of Asarsiβ The one desiring the blessing draws a series of runes in the air with delicately controlled lightning, speaking the words of the ritual as this is done, and with a wave of the hand that draws the lightning back to them, the βblessingβ is bestowed to the wielder. Many who hold to the Old Gods find this as a confidence boost either as they step into their daily activities, or before going into battle. Some may even cast it before the beginning of a duel in hopes of earning their patronβs favor in their assured victory.Β "Kiha tu'iyia tonka tyiji ki raka. (May your lighting guide my hand.) Sas ki raka kiha Nu zinoti tu'iyia tutsatsa. (By my hand might I know your strength.) Nu shokini ja'wi an tauz, Tzirji Nia iw ki sosΓ»tiwisosΓ»tuΓ’. (I humble myself to thee, Great God of my ancestors.)

STUDENT YOUTUBE CHANNEL β’ IDOL ACADEMY DR

Nurturing Dreams Through Excellence

TABLE OF CONTENTS:
1 - intro
2 - whatβs different about Laurierβs channel?
3 - popularity

INTRO
The intro of all the YouTube videos will be abt 1 min and 30 sec long, and itβll consist of the 7 most popular kids in the school. The most popular kids will be determined by a global vote at the end of the school year; the voting period will last for 1 month and you can vote through the Laurier school website.
Whatβs goin on in the intro??
A dance will be chosen by the students (the ones who got voted) and the songs usually are from genres like:
- Christian Horse Girl
- High teen
- Bubblegum Pop
Each student will have screen time within the first 1 minute and 30 sec of the song to showcase their talent during the intro of the Laurier YouTube channel.
Of course, they perform the dance on school grounds (it can be anywhere) but you must wear the schoolβs uniform during the intro. A cover of the song will be recorded and used instead of the OG song. Laurier will take care of the copyright stuff!
whatβs different about laurierβs channel?
The channel is mainly operated by the LCA club. The hosting system in the videos showcase the members of this club, and the most popular hosts have gotten invited to host on Music Bank and other K-Pop music shows.
Butttt the biggest difference is that not only are school announcements in these videos, but vlogs and challenges are posted on here too (challenges are very similar to Silence of Idol, TIME TO TWICE, TIME TO TWICE (diff clip), Pick Voyage).
Random students will have the opportunity to be selected; theyβre selected randomly by class! Sometimes thereβs a pattern to it, like maybe all the students with pink hair will be in one video, or students with glasses will be featured, etc. This selection is determined by the LCA club. You will get an email if youβve been selected. You can reply back to confirm your participation, if you donβt respond within 48 hrs, youβll automatically be kicked off the list and another will replace you.
popularity
The channel will boast over 7 million subscribers once you shift here, and itβll have an average of 500k views per video. The most popular students will likely have higher view counts.
It is imperative that if you get selected that you confirm your spot and arrive to the shootβ¦ itβll really boost your popularity.

Not a band kid but want to read the Marching AU?
Then Iβve got the post for you! This one! Hereβs what marching band/DCI is all about in the simplest terms I can put it aka its time to channel my inner High Brass Section Leader During the First Week of Band Camp again. Also I'll try not to infodump too much, oops. I can guarantee it'll be long, though.
People who do know instruments and are looking at this for fun, enjoy. But be aware that I'm taking this simply so I may describe things in a way you disagree with.
First things first! What is marching band?
Marching band is a group of people who decided it would be cool to walk in a certain way so they could play their instruments and make shapes on the field, lol. If you've ever been to a football game, they're the musicians who go on the field during half time.
It has its roots in military bands, thus the uniforms looking the way they do and marching in time and always starting marching with your left foot. Bands have played for football teams for ages and the early 1900s was about the time they started to make shapes while they played.
Many high school marching bands compete against each other. Yes, there are even state and national level competitions! Other high schools just do "show bands" aka they don't compete, might go to some festivals, and are mainly there to help the crowd have fun. They also tend to be at least a smidge more relaxed than competition bands can be.
All bands involve a variety of wind instruments and a drumline. Many bands also have a colorguard and/or drill team that performs with them. More on them later.
DCI
DCI stands for Drum Corps International. A drum corps is a marching band with just brass instruments and percussion. DCI also has color guard members. Sorry, woodwinds. Specifically, DCI is an organization that has a variety of bands all across the USA. Throughout the summer, they put together marching shows and compete against each other. The season ends with nationals to see who did the best that year. It's an intense program, involving "touring" around to various competitions and quite literally eating, breathing, sleeping marching band. They actually have an age cap at 21 but if people, say, 22 or older wanted to keep marching there's the DCA which is similar but not the same.
(They've got a website and there's plenty of YouTube videos out there if you're interested in learning even more!)
Who's Who?
Band Director
The person in charge. They're the one that decides what the band will be doing and when. They teach music and marching and everything else in between. They delegate a lot of things to the band leadership (aka the people below).
Drum Majors
The people out there waving their arms. They're conducting the music to help keep the band together as well as marching at the right speed. They also help teach things and check that things look good. They don't march on the field itself, usually, though stuff they do can be involved in the show. The thing they stand on is called a podium.
Section Leaders
Each type of instrument is called a section. Section leaders guide the other people playing the same instrument as them. They will hand out papers, help demonstrate what the band director and drum majors are saying, run sectionals (aka moments where the band divides up into instruments to practice) and so on. They do a lot to help boost morale. Also, they're usually in charge of attendance, lol.
Squad Leaders
If there's a lot of people like in my college's band, sections might be split further into squads. In the case of my school, squad leaders help make sure everyone feels included. They also help pass out papers the section leader hands to them, run parts of sectionals, and help demonstrate. One of them will step up if the section leader is out of commission temporarily.
Marchers
A marcher is just another term for someone in the band who's out there performing. Since they're not, ya know, conducting with the drum majors or anything. Section and squad leaders are marchers with additional duties, basically.
How To March
Roll-stepping
Remember how I said marching bands step a certain way? That's called roll-stepping. Basically, it involves pointing your toes high so your heel hits the ground first. Then you "roll" your foot until your toes come off the ground. Repeat with the next foot. This is how bands can play without the music sounding like everyone's walking around.
Rollsteps come in a variety of sizes, the most common being an 8 to 5. That just means it takes 8 steps to get 5 yards, since 8 counts are common in music and there's 5 yard lines all over the football field. Roll-stepping also involves your feet hitting the ground at the correct time and on the right foot. Don't worry, it soon becomes second nature and you don't even have to think about it as you learn a new show.
There's also a fancy thing called a jazz run. I never learned how to do it in HS but I know it exists. It's a way to run while marching. Trust me. It's basically running on your toes and making sure the top half of your body doesn't bounce too much.
Where To Go
You might be thinking, "Okay, cool, I now kinda know how they march. But how do they know where to go?" Great question! Band directors have sheets of paper that are designed to look like the football field. On it, it has where everyone is supposed to be, how long in the music it'll take to get there, and so on. This is called a drill chart/sheet. These are given to the drum majors and section leaders as well, so they can help people find where they need to go.
Each marcher is assigned a designation based on their instrument. For example, I am T11 this year. This means that I am the 11th trumpet player. (For reference, we go to T39 this year.) The person to my right when we make a square might be T13, since they try to keep instruments in the relatively same spot.
That's not always the case, though! During our pregame show (aka when we play the fight song and the Banner and all that since this is a college marching band), I'm between H4 (H as in French horn) and R8 (R for trombone since the trumpets took T). So on and so forth with the rest of the instruments.
There's a sheet of paper for each shape made on the field until the entire show is clear. Marchers get a condensed version of this called a "dot/coordinate sheet" (since each spot you have on the field is a "dot" since that's what you look like from far away). Dot sheets only have your dots on them, though they do have how long each move is. You practice with help from the dot sheets until you memorize where you need to go and don't need to reference it as much anymore.
Different Directions
I'm gonna keep this one as simple as possible. There are ways to stand so you can still face front while moving sideways. You can also move backwards in a variety of ways. Some of these involve rollstepping while going backwards. Others involve being on the platforms of your feet. Either works, but it depends on the band director's opinion for which one a band will use. The main goal is to always face front, unless...
Direction of Travel Marching
Sometimes a move will be "d.o.t." (not to be confused with a dot). This just means that, instead of facing front, you face the directon you're going. At the end of this move, the marcher faces front again and continues on as normal.
If a d.o.t. move is particularly long, a single drum major will usually be on the back sideline to help everyone stay on beat. The other drum major(s) will stay in the front for when everyone moves back.
Music
Marching bands can play all kinds of music. I've done classical, jazz, rap, pop, rock, salsa, 80s hits, and more. Usually, you don't see a marching band have music on them as they perform on the field. At certain points while practicing, they will! Almost all music performed is memorized, but while learning dots, a marcher will have something called a lyre. This is a little folder that holds the music and attaches to the instrument. This allows them to write notes to help them remember where to go and when.
Basic Field Things
The side you're playing towards is called the front sideline. The other one is called the back sideline or back field. If you're gonna face the endzones, most band directors just say "face the endzones." There are also marks where they set the footballs to begin play. These are called hash marks. They're used to figure out where you stand, but otherwise aren't really relevant.
Instruments
Instruments used in marching band arenβt the same as the ones used for concert band. As I said, Drum Corps are made of brass, percussion, and color guard. Marching bands, on the other hand, also include woodwinds. The Marching AU is a sort of mix between both a drum corp and marching band organization, so itβs based on my experiences in marching band but set up with as much of my knowledge of drum corps as it can be.
In other words, itβs mainly based on what Iβve experienced but itβs only brass, percussion, and guard, no woodwinds. Sorry to everyone who wanted to see their fave play a woodwind in this AU. It's unfortunately not happening.
Brass Instruments
High Brass
High brass is called as such because they have higher ranges of notes they can play in the overall scheme of things. This is similar to violins, sopranos and tenors, and flutes, just specifically within the brass section.
Trumpet
Alright, weβre starting off with the instrument I play for marching band (no this isnβt biased, what are you talking about).
Here's a cropped version of me holding mine during a game day section group pic. Don't mind the scribbled out school logo:

Trumpets often are given the melody of the song, though they are sometimes given accompanying parts (like if you're playing a song that's on the radio that uses trumpets for small fanfares, you bet you're gonna be playing the fanfare instead of the melody for that song). Trumpets are easy to hear amongst the band since they are bright and high. I love it but some people are a lil biased against us because certain people really love playing high every chance they get.
Marching French Horn/Mellophone
Fun fact! I also play the French horn for concert band. However, for marching band, things are a little bit different. French horns, normally, have the horn face the back. But when you're on a football field, you need it to face to front. As a result, they made a type of French horn that faces the front to march with! A mellophone can also be used. For the sake of simplicity, they are pretty much the same, you just use different types of mouthpieces, amongst a few other small differences.
Bands who don't have marching French horns have mellophones and they sound very similar. They are good blending instruments aka they can play at the same time as a variety of instruments. French horns are grouped with high brass because they can play high, though they also could fit in with the low brass, depending on the song.
John Williams likes to use a lot of horn in his pieces, and not just as off-beats or long tones (what we normally get). Horn players like John Williams :)
Low Brass
Similarly to how high brass plays high, low brass is made up of instruments that play on the lower end of the range. In orchestras, instruments with similar ranges are cellos and basses. For voices, this is like altos and (also) basses.
Baritone
In concert band, we have something called a euphonium. It looks like a mini-tuba, in a sense. (Tuba and euphonium players, pls don't @ me.) Baritones are essentially the marching version of a euphonium. Or at least that's how it was explained to me. This is what it looks like:
Much like a marching French horn, the bell is facing front instead of a different direction (up in this case). Also, this picture makes it look small. It is not. It is twice as tall as a trumpet and twice as heavy. Sometimes they get the melody, but when they do, it can be tied to the rest of the low brass. They often play various accompanying parts or long notes.
Trombone
Trombones! The only brass instrument with one giant slide instead of valves (aka the button things) to press. They're pretty cool. Often, when the low brass gets the melody, these guys are loud and ready. They also play a lot of accompanying parts and long notes. They also have the ability to do something fun called a glissando which is kinda like when you brush your hand up and down a piano except it's a wind instrument.
These peeps also get to do something fun called a trombone suicide, on occasion. Don't worry, the goal is that nobody actually dies. It's just a cool trick that involves bending and twisting over each others' heads to wow people. I'm not describing it very well. Here's a link to CSU doing it about a decade ago to help: here.
Contra
The most massive instrument you'll ever see on a football field: a contrabass bugle aka the marching tuba aka a contra. These things are MASSIVE. Imagine a tuba. Now imagine carrying it all on one shoulder while marching. Boom. One of the most impressive things you'll ever witness and they're not even marching yet.
(This is the contra section from 2013 Carolina Crown aka one of the DCI corps.)
Many bands opt for sousaphones instead. They're the tubas that wrap around your body. Both my high school and college use them. But DCI uses contras, so this AU has contras. Go them! Much like the rest of low brass, expect them to be loud and excited when they get the melody. You can only play so many long notes before you go crazy. They deserve it.
Percussion
Percussion is split into two groups: drumline and pit. Some bands don't have a pit (like my high school). Most do, though, and we'll include them in this AU.
Drumline
For some reason, the most popular part of the band. Like, no matter what, if the drumline performs, the crowd goes crazy, even if they slept through the halftime show. Idk, it's odd to me. But drumline members are pretty cool.
There are multiple types of drums in a drumline: bass, snare, tenor/quads. There are also cymbal players. Basses are the only ones that come in different sizes. They also make slightly different pitches.
Drumline's main job is to help keep the band on beat and also to sound really super cool. They also get to do fun tricks with their sticks (or with the cymbals) because their instruments are attached to a harness that lets them use both their arms to play.
Pit
Ah, the pit. Sometimes also known as the front ensemble. The people in the marching band who are playing instrument but not doing any marching. Gotta love them. They play a variety of instruments you usually see in a concert band. Most of them tend to be mallet instruments (aka things like marimbas or xylophones or vibes).
Many DCI shows will have a drumline and a pit feature (whether or not those are separate depends) because they're that cool. Sometimes, they bring in instruments not usually used in pit for added affect like electric guitars or recorders.
Here's the Bluecoats pit performing off-field. It looks pretty much the same thing on field, just with the rest of the band behind them.
Color Guard
Have you ever noticed people waving flags around on the field? That's the color guard! That's pretty simply what they do: dance and march with flags to the music the band plays. They can also use a variety of other things like sabres (aka fake swords), rifles (also fake, lol), ribbons, hula hoops, and whatever else the color guard director desires.
Sometimes instead of a color guard, there's a drill team. This just means a dance team that may or may not use pom poms. Other times, the color guard itself dances to the music. They are given additional roles to unfurl giant flags over the band at times and add a lot to the show.
(For one of my favorite guard performances, check out Drum Corpse Bride by The Academy. Here's a bad action shot of it:)
and now, onto...
Uniforms
Most band uniforms are pretty forward, even if they have silly names. You always have a base layer. This is usually something everyone has access to, such as a band shirt (that may or may not showcase that year's show) and some sort of shorts or pants.
Then comes the pants. Fun fact! They're actually overall-like things, and they're called bibbers. They usually zip in the front and have adjustable leg lengths.
Then comes the jacket. Pretty straight forward. Zippers are often hidden and depending on how complicated the zippers and various clasps to keep it closed and tidy are on it depends on how likely you are to need someone to help you zip up.
Many bands put pieces of fabric on the arms of the uniform over the jacket. These are called gauntlets. Yes, like the armor piece. Vague military history and all that. All bands will use gloves as well.
Next comes the hat. It's called a shako and the feathers that stick out of it are called a plume. The plume is detachable, so you can wear the shako without it. All hair must be tucked into the shako at all times it is worn. Don't worry, there's an adjustable string inside to help it stay on your head properly and find the room for hair. There's also an adjustable chin strap.
Marching shoes do indeed exist. They have a rounded heel to help you (supposedly) roll step better. They're very durable since they have to go through a lot, lol. When practicing, marchers just use tennis shoes, though.
Some uniforms have capes that'll attach. Others will have shakos that look more like helmets than hats. It all depends! That's the fun part. Drum major uniforms will also look different than the bands' uniforms. Often, this is with the color of the bibbers, but not always.

Color Guard uniforms are a lot like dance costumes, in a sense, with leggings. They can also use a type of marching shoe or jazz shoes. Their uniform will either match the show's theme or look similar to the band's uniform.
This is the Sand Torrents' uniform. It's pretty standard for a marching uniform. If you'd like to check out the shako and/or the rest of the uniforms in this AU, check under the marching au tag!
Miscellaneous Band and Music Terms
Call Time: The time you're expected to be there. For rehearsals, this usually means ready to begin warmups on the field. For performances, this usually means in full uniform
Drill: When used as "the drill" this just means the show and the specifics within it. Could also be used to refer to the drill chart. It depends on context
Visuals: Any fancy stuff added to the drill. This could be lunges, dancing, horn flashes (aka moving your instrument to a different angle) and so on
Horn angle: Instruments must be held at 10 degrees above parallel to help the sound travel better
Block: To be in block means to spread out on the yard lines to go over basics
Basics: Quite literally the basic skills of marching. These can be used as warm ups once they've been mastered. They're used to help make sure step sizes are right, that everyone remembers how to do different moves correctly and so on
Slides: How you stay facing front while marching sideways
Cleaning the drill: Making sure everyone's marching is looking good and making the shapes its supposed to
Parade Rest: Much like military parade rest, not quite attention but not at ease.
Attention: Ready to play at a moment's notice. This involves the top of wind instruments being perpendicular to the ground and hands in position to play
->->->->Without instruments, attention is having your right hand over your left with your arms at a 90 degree angle. This is how you march when you're learning the show without your instrument yet.
Horns Up: Bringing the instruments up into playing position
Horns Down: Bringing the instruments down from playing position and back into attention
Relax/At Ease: No longer being obligated to stand at parade rest or attention. Do whatever you want (within reason... please pay attention).
Competitions: Much like competitions for other events, bands are judged and given feedback. Awards are usually given for best overall, best sound, best marching, best drumline, and best color guard
Rehearsal: Practice time :)
Set: A lowkey way to call the band to attention ("You should be set"). OR the movement from one place on the field to another. Basically, a subset of the music
And that's everything! Thank you for reading this gigantic article of a post. Hopefully that'll be enough to get you through the Marching AU with some knowledge! And don't worry, it's not a quiz -- you can always refer back to this as you read.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! Whether as a comment, a legit ask, or a dm, I am always down to answer questions about marching band!

New Business Marketing Tips And Tricks for Success
Starting a new business can be an exciting endeavor, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges, especially in the competitive landscape of today's market. Effective marketing is crucial for the success of any new venture. Here are four essential marketing tips and tricks to help your new business thrive.
Define Your Target Audience: Before diving into marketing efforts, it's essential to identify and understand your target audience. Define your ideal customer persona by considering demographics, interests, pain points, and buying behaviors. Conduct market research to gather valuable insights that will guide your marketing strategies. Tailoring your messages and campaigns to resonate with your target audience will significantly increase your chances of success.
Once you have a clear picture of your audience, choose the most suitable marketing channels to reach them effectively. Social media, email marketing, content marketing, and pay-per-click advertising are just a few options to consider. Your choice of channels should align with where your audience spends their time online.

Create Compelling Content: Content marketing is a powerful tool for new businesses to establish their brand and build credibility. Develop high-quality, informative, and engaging content that addresses the needs and interests of your target audience. This content can take various forms, including blog posts, videos, infographics, and podcasts.
Consistency is key when it comes to content creation. Develop a content calendar to plan and schedule regular updates. Providing valuable content not only helps you connect with your audience but also boosts your search engine rankings, making it easier for potential customers to find you.

Leverage Social Media: Social media platforms have become indispensable for marketing in today's digital age. Create profiles on relevant social media platforms and engage with your audience regularly. Share your content, interact with followers, and participate in industry-related discussions.
Paid advertising on social media can also be a cost-effective way to reach a broader audience. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer targeting options that allow you to reach users who match your ideal customer profile.

Monitor and Adapt: Marketing is an ever-evolving field, and what works today may not work tomorrow. To stay ahead of the curve, regularly monitor the performance of your marketing efforts. Analyze key metrics such as website traffic, conversion rates, and return on investment (ROI). Use tools like Google Analytics and social media insights to gather data and insights.
Based on your findings, be prepared to adapt your strategies and tactics. If a particular marketing channel isn't delivering the expected results, reallocate your resources to more promising avenues. Stay up-to-date with industry trends and keep an eye on your competitors to ensure your marketing efforts remain relevant and competitive.
In conclusion, effective marketing is essential for the success of any new business. By defining your target audience, creating compelling content, leveraging social media, and continuously monitoring and adapting your strategies, you can position your new business for growth and long-term success in a competitive market. Remember that success may not come overnight, but with persistence and the right marketing approach, your new business can thrive.
